Chapter 526: Staying in the capital

PS: Thank you for the wind waiting for the mooring, the heart of the new flying monthly pass!! Thank you!

The wind in Beijing in February is still bitterly cold, and it is no exception outside the noon gate. Xu Liang and Wang Xian, Tietou stood in the cold wind, looking up at the high palace city with their necks up, waiting for the news from the palace.

Xu Liang is a great achievement, almost not afraid of the cold wind, and the iron head has learned some exercises, and his resistance is relatively strong. In comparison, although Wang Xian's body is fatter than Xu Liang and Tietou, and he has the most fat on his body, he is the most afraid of cold among the three, his fat face is red by the cold wind, and he stomps his feet while holding his hands.

After waiting for about half an hour, a little eunuch finally walked out of the noon gate.

Xu Liang and the others saw it, but it was the eunuch named Xiao Duzi. didn't see Wang Chengen himself, and the three of them couldn't help but be disappointed.

Xiao Duzi saw Xu Liang and the others, and first saluted Wang Xian, and said: "Lord Wang, Lord Xu, Wang Gonggong is accompanying His Majesty to read the chapter, and he can't leave, so he ordered the little one to come out and report to the two." ”

Xu Liang and Wang Xian glanced at each other and thanked each other helplessly. Xu Liang presented another ingot of silver, and said to Xiao Duzi: "Dugonggong, take a step to speak." ”

Xiao Duzi was also hot for Xu Liang's generosity, and when he heard this, he followed Xu Liang to the corner of the wall, Xu Liang whispered: "This time, Your Majesty rewarded the Shaanxi officials, but I only missed this official, I was uneasy, and I came to ask the prince the reason, and asked Du's father-in-law to help bring a word." ”

Xiao Duzi listened, but the corners of his mouth were filled with a smile, and he arched his hand towards Xu Liang and said: "Lord Xu, don't worry, the prince has expected Lord Xu's intention, and he will let the little one reply to you." ”

"Oh?" Xu Liang asked in surprise, "What did the prince say?" ”

"The bus is on behalf of the Lord. The credit is yours, and no one can take it away. Gives you peace of mind. Stay in Beijing and wait for the good news. ”

Xu Liang was stunned when he heard this, and said anxiously: "Does the prince mean to let me stay in the capital?" However, the officers and soldiers of Shaanxi will be withdrawn from camp and return to the northwest in three days! This one...... I can't wait for a long time. ”

Xiao Duzi spread his hands. looked at Xu Liang very innocently, and said: "This, this is how the prince explained to the little one, as for what the adults should do, the little ones don't know." ”

What Xiao Duzi said was also true.

Xu Liang was helpless, squeezed a smile and offered another ingot of silver, and said enthusiastically: "This official will have to trouble my father-in-law in the future, thank you father-in-law." ”

Xiao Duzi smiled on his face, accepted the silver and immediately patted his chest and said, "Lord Xu don't worry." What is the news in the palace. The small ones will try to inform you. ”

"Thank you very much."

Xu Liang and Xiao Duzi returned to the noon gate, and watched Xiao Duzi enter the inner courtyard of the palace briskly, turn an arch, and disappear.

Wang Xian wrapped his cloak tightly, stomped his feet and said, "Brother Xu, since my uncle can't get out, let's go back." It's weirdly cold here. ”

Xu Liang Xiaosuo said: "Let's go." ”

After sending Wang Xian back, Xu Liang and Tietou returned to the Dongjiang Courtyard, and immediately instructed Tsing Yi Wei to find Yan Qi.

In the annex courtyard. Huang Daozhou and Sima Qiudao were not in the courtyard, and when they asked their subordinates, they learned that they had gone to the street.

Xu Liang sat on the chair in a daze, thinking about the reasons for this series of accidents.

So far, the only normal explanation is that the identity of Kim Beyl Gulkhin has not been confirmed since then. Emperor Chongzhen couldn't give himself a reward.

And this work was handed over to Sun Chengzong, with the difference in his impression of himself. Xu Liang was worried about Sun Chengzong's enthusiasm to complete the work. Even, Xu Liang was faintly worried. Nagulkhin was placed in the custody of the Ministry of War, and he would die in the Ministry of War for no apparent reason.

If Gulkhin died. The credit of Xu Liang's careful preparation can be regarded as completely lost. Xu Liang stood up uneasily, Gurhin was under the care of the military department, it was too unsafe, and he had to change places for this kid.

And in the capital, there are only Jinyiwei who are qualified to detain Houjin Xiaobeile, and where Xu Liang can rest assured.

Xu Liang drank two cups of tea in a row, lowered his anger, and then set off to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.

Fortunately, the Dongjiang Courtyard was originally not far from the Jinyi Wei Yamen, Xu Liang arrived in front of the deserted Jinyi Wei Yamen, handed over the waist card to the Jinyi Wei on duty at the door, and was led in, but it was very unfortunate, the Jinyi Wei Governor Luo Yangxing went out on business two days ago, and in the entire Jinyi Wei Yamen, Xu Liang thought that he could climb the relationship, and only Luo Dudu was alone, Luo Yangxing left, Xu Liang stood in the empty and cold inner courtyard of the Jinyi Wei, and felt extremely strange.

Jinyiwei is all arrogant, don't say that Xu Liang's waist card is only a hundred households, even if the thousands of local households enter Beijing, if there are no acquaintances in the Jinyiwei yamen, they will also sit on the cold bench.

No one came to deal with Xu Liang, so he came out of the Jinyi Guard Yamen and slowly walked in the direction of the Dongjiang Courtyard. The city of Beijing, which had just experienced the impact of the war, seemed particularly strange to Xu Liang at the moment, cold and unkind. I want to be a high-ranking official from the Ming Dynasty from the third grade, in dozens of yamen large and small in Beijing, but there are very few people I know, and my connections are weak, which is frustrating.

Xu Liang's heart was as cold as the weather in February.

When they arrived at the gate of the Dongjiang Courtyard, they met Huang Daozhou and Sima Qiudao sitting in a carriage, which was full of things that the two of them had purchased that day.

The two of them were preparing to leave the city and return to the barracks. Seeing Xu Liang, the two jumped out of the carriage and stepped forward to greet Xu Liang.

Huang Daozhou pointed to the goods on the carriage and explained: "Our Shaanxi soldiers have been in Beijing for so long, and they have never had the opportunity to taste the special food in the capital. ”

Xu Liang was not in a high mood, nodded, gave a few words, and was about to enter the house.

Huang Daozhou and Sima Qiudao looked at each other. Huang Daozhou shouted from behind: "My lord, the lower officials will leave Beijing in three days, will you go back to Shaanxi with us?" ”

Xu Liang stood under the gate of the Dongjiang Annex, looked back at the two, and said, "Well, I still have some things to deal with in Beijing, so I won't go back with you." ”

Huang Daozhou was slightly stunned, thought about it, and then nodded: "My lord." In that case, please take the time to go to the barracks to meet Hong Zhongcheng. ”

Xu Liang knew that Huang Daozhou wanted him to explain some things to Hong Chengchou in person. He nodded slowly, waved his hand, and said, "I'll go." And he went into the house.

In the annex courtyard. Yahuan Rou'er learned what happened to Xu Liang from the mouth of the iron head, and knew in her heart that Xu Liang did not need to return to the northwest with the people of Shaanxi, which meant that Xu Liang would stay in Beijing for much longer than expected. She thought that she could see Xu Liang for a while longer, and she couldn't help but be happy in her heart. Although her grandfather Yang Laohan still has some fantasies in his heart that Rou'er will be favored by Xu Liang and become a phoenix once, Rou'er herself knows that Xu Liang has married three wives and concubines. The eldest lady Feng Suqin and the third lady Lou Xian'er are both beauties of the country, and they are just a little girl who knows a little about poetry and books. Although there is no shortage of appearance and figure, there is almost no possibility of thinking that he is favored by Xu Liang.

Therefore, Rou'er carefully hid the extravagant hope in her heart and carefully served Xu Liang.

When she saw Xu Liang enter the house, she leaned back on the bench, closed her eyes and seemed to be asleep. She took out the brocade quilt and gently covered Xu Liang's body.

Looking at the young adult up close, Rou'er found that although Xu Liang's facial features were not particularly handsome, they were extremely charming. The slightly furrowed sword eyebrows, the lightly pursed lips, and a layer of short whiskers...... Rou'er couldn't help but be stunned.

Suddenly, a light cough woke Rou'er up and took a closer look. But Xu Liang stared at himself with wide eyes, with an inquiring meaning in his eyes.

"Huh? Your Excellency, you're awake! A blush crept up Rou'er's handsome face, and she panicked. Well, adults are tired, right? I. I'm going to fetch some water to wash my face. With that, Rou'er left the house in a panic as if she were fleeing.

Xu Liang looked at the little girl's messy steps. couldn't help but smile, and removed the brocade quilt covering his body, Xu Liang got up, walked to the door, and asked the guard's Tsing Yi guard: "Has the shopkeeper Yan arrived?" ”

The guard arched his hand and said, "Go back to your lordship, not yet." ”

Xu Liang stretched his waist and ordered: "When the shopkeeper Yan arrives in a while, he will ask him to send more people to keep an eye on Sun Chengzong and the Yamen of the Ministry of War. If there is any abnormality, report it to me immediately. ”

"Yes." The guard replied.

Xu Liang returned to the house and muttered, "I don't want to, I'll talk about it after sleeping." With that, he took off his coat and shrank into bed.

Rou'er came in with a basin of hot water, only to see that her body was tightly covered with a quilt, and only her head was exposed.

Rou'er looked at Xu Liang blankly, and asked, "My lord, don't you wash your face first?" ”

Xu Liang said: "I didn't say that I wanted to wash my face, you made your own decisions. ”

"Huh?" Rou'er's face turned a little redder again, put down the basin, and stood in front of Xu Liang with her head down like a child who had done something wrong. Rubbing the corners of her clothes and standing for a while, Rou'er asked, "Then, then, do you want Rou'er to do anything?" ”

Xu Liang looked at her, a smile gradually appeared on his face, staring at her with lustful eyes, and his voice was hoarse: "Hmm...... I've been tired all day and just want to get a good night's sleep. It's just that the damn weather is so cold, I've been hiding under the covers for a long time, and I'm still cold. Rou'er, you are now the official's personal ring, I want to call you ......"

When Xu Liang said this, he deliberately paused, and then looked at her with strange eyes.

Rou'er's face was as red as a ripe apple, and her two hands pinched her skirt tightly, both nervous and shy, and when she heard Xu Liang pause, she looked up at Xu Liang, just one glance, met Xu Liang's eyes, and quickly lowered her head.

"Rou'er, you, would you like to?" Xu Liang's deep voice sounded.

Rou'er's hands and feet felt like there was no place to put them. Staring at the two rusty shoe tips exposed on her feet on the ground, her voice was like a fine mosquito: "If Rou'er hadn't met an adult, I'm afraid she would have starved to death outside the capital a long time ago." Rou'er and Grandpa's lives were saved by you, adults, and now Rou'er is valued by adults, what adults want Rou'er to do, I won't disobey. ”

The corners of Xu Liang's mouth curled, sighed, and said, "I just want to ask you if you are willing, you have been rambling a lot, but I don't understand, are you willing or unwilling?" ”

The shame on Rou'er's face was even stronger, and she finally mustered up the courage, looked up at Xu Liang, and nodded heavily: "Rou'er is willing!" With that, he slowly moved towards Xu Liang's bedside.

Xu Liang nodded with satisfaction, and when Rou'er stood on the side of the bed, her delicate body trembled slightly, and she stretched out her trembling hand and began to unbutton her clothes.

Xu Liang said seriously: "That's good!" It's too cold in this house, so you can go and bring another charcoal basin to make it warmer. Hey, what are you doing with your undressing? ”

Facing Xu Liang's surprised expression, Rou'er's hands stiffened, and she suddenly felt that her head had become a pile of paste. Looking at Xu Liang, Rou'er's mouth gradually opened into an O-shape: "My lord, what do you want Rou'er to do?" ”

Xu Liang's eyes stayed at Rou'er's half-unbuttoned blouse, staring at the dazzling whiteness there, sighed in his heart, and once again solemnly pointed to the charcoal basin placed under the table in the middle of the room, and said, "I said that this room is too cold, add another charcoal basin!" Then he asked, "What do you think I want you to do?" Oh!!! Do you think I want you ......?"

"Ahh Rou'er screamed, clenched her chest with her hands in a panic, turned and ran away.

Behind him, Xu Liang's laughter was free and presumptuous!

The pleasure of flirting with the little maid made Xu Liang's troubles in his heart suddenly alleviate a lot, and he closed his eyes again and fell asleep, this sleep was always very sweet.

This day is the day when the Shaanxi soldiers will leave Beijing.

Early in the morning, a long motorway drove to the front of the Shaanxi military camp outside the Yongding Gate. Tietou jumped down from the carriage and shouted at the Liang soldiers on duty at the camp gate: "Brother Liang Jun, Lord Xu has brought gifts and has come to treat you!" Open the camp gate and move your stuff inside! ”

The Liang soldiers guarding the gate cheered, and while surrounding to check the contents of the carriage, they sent people to gallop into the camp to report to the generals inside.

Soon, there was a burst of cheers from the barracks, and a large group of Shaanxi soldiers rushed out of the camp and, together with the carriage drivers outside the camp, transported more than a dozen truckloads of goods into the camp.

Huang Daozhou, Sima Qiudao and He Huchen welcomed out of the camp and welcomed Xu Liang into the camp.

Xu Liang pretended to be casual and asked, "What about Hong Zhongcheng?" Is he in the camp? ”

Huang Daozhou and the others glanced at each other, and Huang Daozhou arched his hand and said, "Yes." Lord Hong is in the tent of the Chinese army. ”

Xu Liang sighed lightly and said casually: "It just so happens that this official is about to go to meet Lord Zhongcheng." ”

Several people walked outside the tent of the Chinese army, Xu Liang had a faint smile on his face, lifted the curtain of the tent, and walked in. Outside the tent, He Huchen lowered his head and was about to follow in, but was stopped by Huang Daozhou.

Huang Daozhou shook his head and said softly: "Lord Xu and Hong Zhongcheng have intersected in Shaanxi, and now they haven't seen each other for more than ten days, there must be a lot of private things to talk about between the two adults, so there is no need for us to follow in." ”

He Huchen slapped his forehead with a sudden realization, and said in a loud voice: "Lord Huang is very right. ”

So the three of them were more than ten steps away from the big tent of the Chinese army, standing and gossiping, and their eyes were paying attention to the situation in the tent of the Chinese army from time to time. (To be continued......)
