Under the same night, the cold white moonlight sprinkled on the embroidery buildings of a mansion in the city, and the dim candlelight reflected the shadows of the two women.

"Sister Huayu, when are we going back to Changzhou?" Xiaomeng has developed slightly compared to before, perhaps it is the result of the fine care of Huayu, with a red face, accompanied by a high bun, and an indescribable water spirit with a goose-egg-like little face.

She held a dark blue robe in her hand, and sat in front of the candlelight sewing it with a needle and thread, and her face showed a hint of unhappiness.

It was the first time for her to run so far, although Huayu left a sum of money to the family to cure her mother's illness and did not worry, but she was a little scared after all living in the house of this official master, and she thought that she could follow Huayu to see the hammer brother who thought about it day and night, but she didn't even see the hammer, and she was naturally depressed.

Huayu was looking at a silver pendant in his hand in a daze through the hazy moonlight shining through the window, and the small peony flower on it was shining brightly in the moonlight, and the person's face seemed to emerge.

Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she took a few breaths gently, if it weren't for Xiaomeng's voice, I'm afraid she would have cried again.

"We don't think we'll be able to go back in a few days." Huayu sighed faintly, looked at the moon in the sky and said: "I have been away from home for many years, I haven't been with my mother well, she is getting worse and worse as she gets older, how can I leave here." ”

"Oh..."Xiao Meng pouted, and said with a slight flush on his face: "Then, that hammer brother, when will he come to Kyoto?" ”

Hua Yu's heart trembled slightly, the tip of her nose was sour for a while, she had always been a boring person who didn't go out of the gate, and she didn't know the news that Zhao Xian was going to enter Beijing after winning the battle, and she also said that Zhao Xian was still in the army in Jinling, and her heart was worried.

Huayu is the only person who clearly knows Zhao Xian's true identity, although she can beg her family to rescue Zhao Xian, but she will inevitably expose Zhao Xian's identity if she does that, she doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse, so she can't let Zhao Xian take risks, she can only hope that Zhao Xian will work hard in the army, take the initiative to make meritorious service to eliminate the charge of murder, and can continue to live a peaceful life in Changzhou in the future.

I won't know when he will come to Kyoto, maybe for a long, long time. Hua Yu tucked the pendant into the neckline under her neck, and reluctantly showed a smile and said, "It should be soon, don't worry." ”

"I, I don't need to be in a hurry." Xiaomeng's face turned red, and he hurriedly turned around and sewed the robe absentmindedly.

What a dishonest bastard, Huayu saw Xiao Mengchun's budding touch, and a trace of secret resentment flashed inexplicably in her heart, as if she blamed Zhao Xian Huaxin, but she reacted in an instant: Xiao Xian He wants to marry a wife and have children in the future, how fragrant and prosperous his wife is, how can I think about it, I am so much older than him.

Huayu's face was flushed, although she was not discovered by Xiaomeng, her face was still hot, so she could only turn around and go downstairs and say, "You go to sleep first, I'll accompany my mother." ”

Walking through the corridor, next to a rockery lotus pond, Huayu's face softened a little.

The night is quiet, the moon is like water, the most easy to make people think about it, Hua Yuxian put her hand on her chest, and unexpectedly remembered the scene of being kissed in the snow in the small courtyard, the embarrassing scene of being pressed against the shame in the government prison, and the hot gaze of Zhao Xian in the bath, her body seemed to be a little itchy, and when she was lying on the head of the bed looking for books, Zhao Xian's presumptuous slap seemed to be reverberating on her buttocks...

"Poof!" A small fish that is not willing to be lonely jumps up from the pond and makes a circle of ripples.

Huayu woke up suddenly, secretly spat himself, only to feel a fever on his cheeks, ashamed, busy covering his cheeks with his hands and no longer thinking about it, but the more he didn't think about it, he wanted to think about it, only to make his heart like a deer, his heart was short of breath, and his eyes seemed to be dripping water.

"My lord, today is a guest..."

Just when Huayu was thinking about spring alone in the corridor, she suddenly heard a few words of conversation, her ears moved slightly, the strangeness on her face disappeared instantly, and she disappeared into the corridor with a light touch on her toes.

In the study in the front yard of the mansion, two people were drinking wine by candlelight and talking in low voices.

One of them was over the age of six, dressed in a white robe, with bright eyes and a wrinkled face that was a little red from the wine.

Another forty or fifty-year-old, with a very beautiful beard on his chin and a relatively thin figure, was pouring wine for the old man opposite, and said at the same time: "According to the student, that Zhao Dazhui is very good at writing, and he knows Ling Xian and Liu Feiyue, if I guess correctly, I am afraid it is the Zhao Xian who has close contacts with the An family." ”

"Click!" There was a soft sound outside, what seemed to be the sound of a tree branch being broken.

The person who spoke was immediately alert and glanced up a few times, but the old man shook his head casually and said, "It's okay, no one in the old man's mansion has come in, Qingyuan, you don't have to be too suspicious." ”

This Qingyuan, naturally, is the Guozi Priest Jiulin Qingyuan, and the letter sent by the Liu Governor's Mansion last time was handed over to him.

He thought about it, and he smiled and said, "It's me who is suspicious, I sent someone to assassinate Zhao Xian last time......"

"Click!" There was another soft thud.

This time, the old man also looked up in confusion, and was about to call the guards in, but he heard a few bird calls and the sound of crackling and flying away.

It turned out to be a sparrow, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.

Twisting a peanut and throwing it into his mouth, Lin Qingyuan stroked his beard and continued: "As a result, the two people sent failed to do so, and then that kid made a great contribution for no reason, Ning Mo has no chance to start, this time His Majesty summoned him to Rujing, and the reward and promotion must be indispensable, how should we deal with it?" ”

The old man took a sip of wine, thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "According to the letter from Liu Wencheng, the prefect of Changzhou, the An family wants to keep this Zhao Xian, Liu Wencheng suspects that this person is the baby who disappeared from the An family more than ten years ago, but the old man doesn't think so, if it was really that baby, the An family would have brought him back with great fanfare, how could he have been secretly delayed for so long." ”

After a slight pause, the old man continued: "Judging from the old man, this person must be a puppet that the An family is looking for, ready to impersonate and inherit the military power of the An family, originally I was ready to get rid of the matter directly, but now I find out that this kid has some real skills, not as simple as a puppet, Ning Mo saw it with his own eyes in a battle outside Jinling City, and he can't fake it." ”

Lin Qingyuan nodded, frowned and said, "This son is indeed a manufacturable material, but it's a pity that he is too close to the An family, so what should we do?" Kill or..."

"A person with ability naturally has his own ideas, and it is impossible to be a puppet of others." The old man smiled lightly: "The foundation of my auxiliary Guotang is to assist the government and Gu Guoanbang, how can I give away this great talent in vain, then Zhao Xian was silent before, I am afraid that he has only recently established a relationship with the An family, and there is still little trust between them, so it is too late for him to know his way back to me." ”

Lin Qingyuan thought about it for a while, and then his eyes lit up and said: "What you mean is that you will secretly win over Zhao Xian, and let the An family push him to the position of the prince of Zhenguo, and then the An family will become a part of my auxiliary Guotang?" ”

The old man smiled and nodded slightly.

"But..."Lin Qingyuan said with some embarrassment on his face: "It's not easy to tie Zhao Xian firmly into our camp, we can give all the money, power, and power we can give, how can we let him enter the Fuguo Hall?" ”

The old man poured himself a glass of wine, and said lightly: "The heroes and heroes of the world, what he likes is nothing more than the word power, since the official position cannot be given, then give him a beauty, this son is seventeen years old and less than a weak crown, and his mind is not yet mature, and he is very easy to indulge in wine, and this plan will definitely be able to subdue him." ”

Lin Qingyuan nodded, feeling reasonable, but he frowned and said: "There are only a few female Confucians in the Fuguo Hall, all of whom are sixty or seventy years old, and I don't know Zhao Xian..."

"Poof! Ahem..."The old man was choked, shook his head and chuckled: "Qingyuan, there is no one in the Fuguo Hall, so I went to the homes of the masters to find out if there are any daughters who are smart and waiting for the boudoir, and it is not easy to find a woman." ”

This is also true, Lin Qingyuan's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of someone, and said with a smile: "My lord, I heard that Ling Qianjin recently returned to Kyoto and married Zhao Xian with her appearance and knowledge..."

"Click!" There was another soft noise outside.

"No, no, no!" The old man in the sixtieth armor immediately felt pain, and pulled someone who could put his daughter in, he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Last time, I forced her to marry, but it turned out to be more than ten years after leaving, and it was not easy to come back. ”

Seeing this, Lin Qingyuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "My lord, this matter is not a child's play, if Ling Qianjin can't do it, I'm afraid there will be no other candidate." ”

"No hurry, no hurry." The old man chuckled and said, "It's definitely useless to send Zhao Xian directly to the woman, first observe him for a while to see what his likes and habits are, and then talk about it when the time is ripe." ”

Lin Qingyuan nodded slightly, and then said no more.
