Bai Hong said: "Just wait here, they will come to save us!" ”

The two stood back-to-back, responding to the onrushing guards. The guards began to release arrows, although Bai Hong was seriously injured, but after resting for a moment, she had recovered slightly, and with Leng Yi on her back to protect her, she only needed to use her long sword to hit the arrows shot in front. Leng Yi was more relaxed, he used the lockbox to block his lower body, and he didn't care if he had a bulletproof vest on his upper body, he just needed to dial the arrow shot at the head.

After a few more moments, he saw smoke rising from the castle, and then the flames rose to the sky. Then, I heard shouts and killings, and screams came and went.

The soldiers who surrounded Leng Yi were suddenly in chaos, and soon, most of the soldiers quickly withdrew and went back to defend the lord and other important figures.

At this time, more than a dozen people were killed from the direction of the backyard, and they were also invincible, and they rushed to Bai Hong and them, and a big man said: "Helper, you withdraw, we will break off!" ”

"Good!" Bai Hong and Leng Yi quickly rushed to the backyard under the cover of the killers of these Bai Hong organizations. At the door, a carriage was parked. The one who drove the car was an old man like Misan. There were also two Missan men guarding him. When he saw them coming out, he called for help, and immediately lifted the curtain and let them get into the car.

Bai Hong and Leng Yi got into the carriage, and the carriage quickly galloped away into the darkness.

Leng Yi said in a low voice: "It turns out that there are people in the organization in Misan?" ”

Bai Hong's whole person was like collapsed, leaning softly on Leng Yi's shoulder, and did not speak.

From time to time there was the sound of the soldiers of Missan asking on the road, as if they were being checked by the soldiers at the corner of the street. Then the old man was heard speaking in the Missan language, and just like that, the carriage stopped and went, and was stopped along the way, but it was not stopped, and no one came up to check it.

At last the carriage reached a house, entered the house, and stopped before reaching the main house.

The curtain of the car was raised, Leng Yi helped Bai Hong get out of the car, looked around, quietly, except for the old man Missan who was driving the car, there was no one else, even the two Missan killers from before were gone.

Bai Hong said in a low voice: "Help me in!" ”

Leng Yi helped Bai Hong into the courtyard, and the old man closed the courtyard door. Leng Yi helped Bai Hong to the main house, entered the bedroom next to her, and let her lie down on the bed.

Bai Hong shook his head and didn't lie down, just sat cross-legged on the bed, reached into his arms, took out a red porcelain bottle, pulled out the stopper, poured out a fiery red pill, and stuffed it into his mouth. Leng Yi saw a teapot on the table, picked it up, poured a cup, and handed it to Bai Hong. Bai Hong took it and sent the medicine down. Then close your eyes and pranayama.

Leng Yi took off the sniper rifle on his back, disassembled it and put it back in the lockbox. Then he sat on the stool opposite her, remembering the scene just now, it was really thrilling.

After a long time, Bai Hong slowly opened her eyes, looked at Leng Yi, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for saving me." ”

Leng Yi smiled and said: "You are a very smart person, but you still can't escape a love word, you can only say that it was this love word that hurt you, otherwise, how could Pu Ziqing hurt you." Fortunately, this matter has finally passed! You can start a new life too! ”

Bai Hong listened silently, and after a while, he said: "I'm tired, there is a bed in the study, you go and rest." It's safe here, don't worry. ”

Leng Yi came over, helped her lie down, covered her with a quilt, looked at the faint sadness between her eyebrows, and knew that although she was as calm as water on the surface, she was actually in great pain in her heart, and couldn't help but pity her in her heart, and couldn't help but attach herself to the hair on the top of her head and kiss her gently.

Bai Hong tilted her head towards the bed, her eyes closed. It is as indifferent as the net bottle of Guanyin.

Leng Yi got up, put down the curtain, carried the lockbox, walked out of the room, and came to the study. Fell asleep on the soft collapse.

The next morning, Leng Yi woke up and saw a letter on the bedside. The font is beautiful, and it is Bai Hong's handwriting. Hurriedly opened it and took a look, only to see that it was written: "I'll go first, Jiazhen has already arranged for someone to pick her up." You rest here for three days, and after three days, someone will arrange to send you back to the Great Song Dynasty. Treasure. ”

Leng Yi got up and came to the bedroom, only to see that the door was open, and Bai Hong was gone. He walked quickly to the bottom of the porch, and the whole courtyard was silent.

Could it be that it was his loving kiss last night that scared her away? Or is she looking for a place to lick up the pain in her heart silently?

Last night, the old man who was in a hurry brought the food, all of which were the tastes of the Great Song Dynasty, and the cooking skills were very good, but Leng Yi had no appetite at all.

In the afternoon, the old man Missang, who was driving the car, sent Jiazhen here. Jiazhen saw Leng Yi, and when she was happy, her eyes were red.

The next three days were spent in peace.

On the fourth day, the old man came with the carriage and asked Leng Yi and them to get on the carriage and go to the Great Song Dynasty. The city of Missan was still heavily guarded, but the carriage seemed to have some kind of privilege, and although it was under interrogation, it traveled all the way unhindered, and went out of Missan City smoothly to the Great Song Dynasty.

When approaching the border of the Great Song Dynasty, the rain was very frequent, and after they returned to the territory of the Song Dynasty, it was even more rainy and continuous.

On this day, they returned to Yinling City in the heavy rain.

After getting off the bus at the city gate, Leng Yi paid money to thank the old man Misang, but the old man smiled and didn't accept it, and drove the carriage back to Misang.

Leng Yi and Jiazhen took human skin masks, held oil-paper umbrellas, and walked quickly into the city.

The soldiers at the gate of the city recognized Leng Yi, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, calling him the county master.

Because Jiazhen knew that Leng Yi's true identity was the magistrate, Leng Yi did not shy away from it, and took her straight to the yamen.

Wu Zhutou was sitting at the door of the class room and chatting with the porter and a few soap li, when he saw Leng Yi coming in, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, quickly got up, greeted him in the rain, and said with his fists in his hands: "Master, you can come back!" - Congratulations, sir! Congratulations, sir! ”

Leng Yi couldn't help but be stunned, took the umbrella, and then asked, "How happy is this official?" ”

"The eldest lord has been promoted to Bazhou."

At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the governor's authority from being too heavy, the post of 'general judgment' was created. The general judgment is directly appointed by the emperor to assist the county government, and the orders issued by the governor to his subordinates must be signed together with the general judgment to take effect. Therefore, it is regarded as the second-in-command of the prefect, and has the power to report directly to the emperor. In charge of the soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enslavement, and prison lawsuits. Of course, the judgment must be signed by the prefect at the same time before it can take effect.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, the magistrate was only from the eighth grade, and the general judgment was from the seventh grade. In other words, Leng Yi was promoted this time and jumped two levels in a row. I couldn't help but feel happy, pretending to be elegant, and said in a long tone: "Really? ”

"Yes! The official letter of the appointment has arrived a few days ago, and we have searched all the townships in the county, but we have not found you, and we are worried that we do not know where to look for it. ”

As he was talking, the officials of the six rooms over there all got the news and ran out to greet them one by one, including Master Dong. Naturally, there is a lot of flattery.

Leng Yi beckoned Master Dong and Master Qiu to report to him in the second hall after half an hour. Then, he took Jiazhen to the inner house.

Soap Li, who had already had good things to say, braved the heavy rain and ran to the inner hall with arrows like a fly, and reported the news of Leng Yi's return. Zhuo Qiaoniang took the personal maid grass spike, held an umbrella to welcome the door, saw Leng Yi wind and dust, obviously very hard, couldn't help but tears in her eyes, handed the umbrella to the grass spike, Ying Ying Fuli: "The official is back!" ”

Leng Yi stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Madam, how are you at home?" ”

"Okay, the concubine is good. It's just that there is no news of the officials, and the concubine is really worried. ”

Leng Yi saw that she was really much thinner, presumably because she was worried about herself, and she couldn't sleep and eat. said: "I'm sorry, this time I went for a long time, which made you anxious." ”

Seeing Zhuo Qiaoniang looking at Jiazhen behind him, she hurriedly made an introduction, only saying that this was the family of a friend in Bazhou who came to play in Yinling, so she invited her to be a guest at home. Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly pulled her to talk, looking very affectionate.

Several people entered the house, and Zhuo Qiaoniang hurriedly asked Caosui to prepare hot water and bathe Leng Yi.

After the hot water was ready, Zhuo Qiaoniang personally served Leng Yi to take a bath, she already knew that Leng Yi was promoted to the general judgment of the Bazhou Mansion, and her husband and wife were honored, so she was naturally very happy in her heart. The two haven't seen each other for nearly a month, and Xiao Bie Sheng is newly married, so they have a good relationship.

After washing, Leng Yi changed into new clothes. beckoned Zhuo Qiaoniang over, took out the red coral necklace given by Zhuoma, and put it on Zhuo Qiaoniang's snow-white neck.

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at him in surprise and said, "Official, what ...... is this?" ”

"This is a little favor I did to the head of the village when I was in Misan, and they gave it to you as a thank you gift to me."

Leng Yi didn't mention Zhuoma, worried that Zhuo Qiaoniang would feel uncomfortable. It's just a brief explanation of the origin.

Zhuo Qiaoniang held the necklace, she was very happy, took the rhombic bronze mirror and looked left and right for a long time, and said to Leng Yi: "Official, is it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful!" Leng Yi said sincerely, "My lady is naturally beautiful, and with this red coral necklace, it is even more beautiful." ”

Zhuo Qiaoniang's face was slightly red, and she said, "Thank you, official." ”

Leng Yi took out the necklace of Damaga again and handed it to Zhuo Qiaoniang, saying, "The owner of this chain has been found, they don't want it, give it to us, keep it." ”

The reason why Leng Yi said this is because Damaga's relative, that is, the lord's daughter Kayang, wanted to murder her husband and escaped with her life, so this thing was naturally confiscated and offset against her own compensation, and she did not have to return it to them. But there is no need to explain these to Zhuo Qiaoniang.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was naturally a little surprised: "Why did you give it to us?" ”

At the moment, he said: "People have a lot of money, take care of him, and accept it when he gives it." ”

"Oh." Zhuo Qiaoniang took the necklace and put it away.

Leng Yi then walked to the second hall with an umbrella.

Master Dong and Master Qiu were already waiting here, and when they saw him come in, they hurriedly smiled and congratulated Leng Yi on his ascension. Master Dong held the imperial court order in both hands and handed it to Leng Yi, Leng Yi took it and looked at it, and sure enough. smiled and said to Master Dong: "This county has not made any outstanding achievements, how can it be promoted?" ”

Master Dong said with a smile: "This student has already inquired, and I heard that it is because Dong Weng is an upright official, loves the people like a son, and has achieved remarkable results in improving the lives of the people, and has taken effective measures, which has won the attention of the imperial court." ”

Master Qiu also said: "Yes! Relief for adults in winter, renting cattle in spring, stabilizing grain prices in summer, and setting up permanent positions to help people tide over difficulties are all excellent. Naturally, it was loved by the people and appreciated by the court. ”

Leng Yi was happy on his face, but he was quite unimpressed in his heart. Disaster relief or something, as a county governor, that is supposed to be, this measure of closing positions is still in the lending stage, and it has not yet reached the time to make a profit, and the results are far from visible. Therefore, there must be another reason for promoting yourself to be an official!

What is the reason?

Leng Yi didn't know. However, he believes he will soon find out.

Sure enough, on the night of his return to the Yin Tomb, in the drizzle, a visitor came to his yamen inner house, and it was the person she had been looking forward to for a long time - Cheng Luojie!

When he saw Cheng Luojie, he was sleeping in the house. Suddenly, he heard two soft noises outside the window. Then, a sound of footsteps went away, the footsteps were very familiar, Leng Yi's heart moved, he glanced at his sleeping wife Zhuo Qiaoniang beside him, turned over and got out of bed, gently pulled the door out, and saw a figure standing by the corner door not far from the moonlight, the light was dim, and he couldn't see clearly. But she is pretty, and she knows that she is a woman at a glance, and she is very familiar.

Leng Yi walked over quickly, but the woman floated into the back garden until she walked to the bluestone railing under the big locust tree next to the well, and then she stopped, turned to look at him, and a pair of slender hands were gently twisting the tips of her long braided hair. It is the beauty that others think about at night, Cheng Luojie!

Leng Yi was surprised, took two steps forward, grabbed her hands, and called in a low voice: "Jie'er! ”

"Brother Yi!" Cheng Luojie leaned into her arms, hugged his neck tightly, and sent sweet red lips to his mouth.

The two kissed passionately, forgetting the world and the world.

After a long time, Leng Yi let go of Cheng Luojie's mouth and said happily: "Jie'er, aren't you investigating the case in Juzhou?" How did you come back again? ”

"I miss you!" Cheng Luojie said coquettishly: "Do you think I don't want me? ”

"Of course!" Leng Yi hugged her and kissed her for a while, and said, "You must have something to come to me, otherwise, you will not have time at this time." ”

"You guessed it!" Cheng Luojie hugged his neck, twisted her delicate body like a twist, and said: "We have already arrived in Yinling, it has been more than ten days, but we can't find you, and no one knows where you went." I had to wait here, but luckily you finally returned. - By the way, do you know about your promotion? ”

"Got it."

"Do you know who promoted you?" Cheng Luojie tilted her head and looked at him and smiled.

Leng Yi's heart moved, and he said, "You helped me get promoted?" ”

"Which of my abilities is that Empress Kaibao personally promoted you. ――Do you know why Empress Kaibao promoted you to an official position? ”
