Sima Yi is not a person who can't see his daughter's family crying, although he has learned to forbear and guess the thoughts of others in the past two years, but he is a little puzzled by the thoughts of his daughter's family, which is also the reason why he rarely has the opportunity to contact women, and the strategies taught to him by Li Shanye do not include how to guess what his daughter's family thinks and worries. He originally didn't want Huan'er to go through the fatigue of the journey and go to Jingshi Jinling with him to live a life of fear, after all, he had no foundation in Jinling, and even had to live in King Hui's mansion. He was originally a tentative question, but in Huan'er's ears, he didn't want to take her away, so he asked this question.

"What's wrong?" Sima Yu's tone was very indifferent, he said that Huan'er was ruthless or not, but he said that he was affectionate, and it was not to the point of knowing each other, at most he had some good feelings, it was Sima Yi who was lonely in the Southern Dynasty for a few years and suddenly felt that he needed a partner in his heart, and Huan'er was very sensible and well-behaved in Sima Yu's opinion, which made him feel like he wanted to keep her by his side. Even he himself doesn't know what kind of positioning Huan'er is in his heart, he roughly thinks that Huan'er is a servant, but he will respect Huan'er more than a handmaiden.

Huan'er wiped her tears and said a little sadly: "Mr. doesn't want to take Huan'er away?" If Huan'er didn't do well, she didn't dare to follow Mr. ”

"Oh." Sima Yi nodded, and soon he looked back at Huan'er and wondered, "Do you want to go with me, or do you want to stay?" ”

Huan'er's impression of Sima Yi on weekdays is that he is a man with great wisdom, but when Sima Yi asked this question, Huan'er was a little stunned, she didn't know if this was the Sima Yi she had seen before, or if Sima Yi was deliberately pretending to be confused. But seeing Sima Yi's sincere gaze, Huan'er realized that it was not Sima Yi who wanted to leave her alone, but Sima Yi or really didn't understand her intentions. Huan'er Yingying bowed down and said, "Huan'er has been lonely since she was a child, and I hope to serve by my husband's side." Huan'er didn't want to return to Taishou Mansion and begged Mr. to fulfill it. ”

"Hmm." Sima Yi nodded, but he didn't say anything, he was actually a little confused in his heart. To say that he has done a lot of things to give advice to King Hui, but this is the first time to face the confession of his daughter's family. Although he has precipitated his personality in the past two years, he is still an unenlightened junior brother after all, and he has not even been blessed with the tenderness of his daughter's family, let alone know anything else.

Sima Yu didn't say anything, Huan'er was a little scared when she knelt on the ground, she was even more afraid of Sima Yu's refusal, but Sima Yu had no reason to refuse. Sima Yi knew very well that Li Fangwei was relying on him for everything now, and giving him a little singer was not a big favor, and he did feel that it was very useful for him to be by his side. At least someone can take care of your daily life, this feeling is very good, even if you look up and see Huan'er sitting next to you when you are playing chess, you will look very kind, and there will be an inexplicable sense of steadiness in your heart.

Seeing that the sky has reached sunset and dusk, I think that the sedan chair has been prepared outside, and the first two times Li Fangwei invited him to prepare everything early, which is also Li Fangwei's character, always to do not leak. Sima Yu didn't go to help Huan'er. As he walked to the door, he said, "Get up and pack your things." Let's hit the road tomorrow. Huan'er breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly got up to pack up her things, in fact, there was nothing to clean up, she had already packed up the few belongings she had in the past two days, and she was also hoping that Sima Yi would take her with her, she was afraid that it would be too late to clean up.

Sima Yu was not in a hurry to go to the banquet. He wanted to avoid Huan'er a little, but he didn't know why. Maybe he felt that he couldn't give Huan'er a future in his heart, and what he was entangled in his heart was Xiao Zhan, who was in the palace, but he knew that as a courtier, it was impossible to be with Xiao Zhan. But once this kind of thinking is rooted, he will always feel inexplicably sad. And this kind of sadness will make him feel that it is hurting Huan'er, so he would rather come out early, even if he is not in a hurry to go to the banquet, he can calm down a little and think about whether to return to Jinling to serve as the right minister, he really doesn't want to leave his roots in the Southern Dynasty, because he feels that he will have to go back sooner or later.

Sima Yi sat on the steps at the door of the post house alone, the palanquin driver and entourage next to him did not dare to come forward to disturb, this Mr. Sima in front of him was the most polite guest, any poor hospitality may make them lose their official duties or even be condemned, and the big people usually have strange tempers, as for why Sima Yu did not choose to rest in it but came out to sit on the steps, they did not know. But they also knew that there had never been a big man like Sima Yi who would come out and sit so disregarding his manners, and it seemed that Sima Yi didn't care about these at all.

"Oh, why is Sangkook sitting here?" Li Fangwei's voice came from afar, Sima Yi raised his head, and saw that in the dim sky, Li Fangwei hurriedly got off the sedan chair to greet him. Only then did Sima realize that it was already dark, and he had been sitting at the door for almost half an hour. It was the middle of summer, and it was almost time to go to the last watch when it was dark, and Li Fangwei was about to wait in Taishou Mansion to come over in person to urge, unlike the previous two banquets, this time Li Fangwei changed the location of the banquet to Taishou Mansion, which was even more grand.

Sima Yi stood up and patted the dirt on his body, and then walked over to Li Fangwei, and then each got into a sedan chair and went to the Taishou Mansion.

Before arriving at the Taishou Mansion, the traffic was crowded, and it was Li Fangwei who informed the gentry in the city that Sima Yi was appointed as the right minister by the imperial court, and the gentry changed their previous attitude towards Sima Yi and became active to cater to them, and they knew why Li Fangwei had to work hard to tie up with this little-known Mr. Sima, it turned out that Sima Yi was a real person who did not show his face, and no one was in Beijing, so he could be appointed as the right minister, which was also the biggest official Xu Ding had ever come.

Sima Yu didn't like to socialize with others, even if others came to talk to him, he didn't want to say too much, just saluted politely, and then entered the Taishou Mansion under the guidance of Li Fangwei. At this moment, suddenly there was some commotion in the crowd of onlookers outside, and when Sima Yi looked back, he saw a few arrows flashing in the light of the demon towards him, Sima Yu subconsciously dodged, even if he practiced martial arts since he was a child, but he only learned the kung fu of ordinary fists and feet, and he could dodge a fatal arrow.

"There are assassins!" The crowd suddenly became chaotic, a bunch of black-clothed people flashed out of the crowd, desperately rushing towards Sima Yu's body, although there were many people at the gate of the Taishou Mansion, but they were basically officials who came out to greet them and onlookers, and those with blades were only officials who opened the way along the way, and their skills could not be compared with the assassins with strong martial arts.

Li Fangwei was originally still immersed in the joy of going to Jinling with Sima Yi to become a court official. The sudden change also made him panic. He has been in Xuding for so many years, and Xuding is not a very big place, although the people by the sea are also rich, but they have not even made trouble with bandits, let alone assassins. The assassin in front of him was obviously here for Sima, and Li Fangwei knew that if something happened to Sima, then the arrangements he had made before would be in vain. And if he wants to achieve his goal of becoming an official in the court by encircling others, he can't do it in a day or two, and even if he can really do it, there will not be a right minister like Sima Yi, who is a courteous corporal and has no connections and is very respectful to the empress.

"Protect Mr. Sima!" Under the chaos, Li Fangwei simply used his body to block Sima Qian's body, and pushed Sima Qian into the gate of Taishou Mansion in the crowd. Fortunately, when the assassin came out, Sima Yi and Li Fangwei had already walked to the door, as long as they entered the Taishou Mansion, the gate wall of the Taishou Mansion was high and the courtyard was deep, and it was not easy for the assassin to get in. What's even safer is that there are still family soldiers in the mansion, as long as there are family soldiers who come out to stop them, even if the assassins are strong in martial arts, they can stand up for a while, and rely on more people to eat away at the assassins.

In his panic, Sima Yi found that in addition to the black-clothed people who appeared just now, another wave of people suddenly poured out of the crowd, he originally thought that these people were also here to assassinate, but after realizing that these people were targeting those black-clothed assassins, he seemed to understand something. By this time, he had been pushed through the door by the crowd, and an Assassin had already squeezed forward. However, because the crowd was so congested, he couldn't get close to him at all, but was pushed to the ground by a group of officials and gentry who didn't know martial arts at all.

Sima borrowed into the courtyard, and Li Fangwei immediately ordered the door to be closed, but there were still a large number of official gentry at the door in front of him, and it was difficult to close the door. Sima Yi calmed down in this situation. There were not many assassins, and these assassins were clearly targeting him, so they began to retreat after seeing him enter the door and the assassination was difficult to complete. The soldiers of the Taishou Mansion came out, and in addition to the two assassins who were killed, one was held down by the gentry. The rest of the people fled without a trace, but there were several mysterious people from nowhere standing at the door, and the two assassins who had just been killed were precisely these mysterious people.

"Who are you waiting for?" Li Fangwei only dared to walk out of the door surrounded by family soldiers, which was also because he learned that the assassin had fled. In order to prevent the assassins from assassinating again, he had ordered the officials who maintained law and order in the city to be placed under martial law throughout the city, and at the same time transferred soldiers and horses from outside the city into the city to protect them.

The mysterious people are all very ordinary people's clothes, just like ordinary people in the crowd, a man walked out of the crowd, and saluted Sima Yu from afar, Sima Yu also understood something, these people were not sent by the imperial court to protect him, but people from the Northern Dynasty. Li Fangwei didn't dare to take it lightly, but he listened to Sima Yu: "Li Taishou, they are all their own people, don't make a fuss." ”

Li Fangwei also saw the courage of these mysterious people just now, all of them were masters, if it weren't for the appearance of these people, those assassins would not have fled, Li Fangwei naturally regarded these people as the empress was afraid that Sima was in danger in the place to secretly protect them. Since it was sent by the empress, it was the empress's cronies, and he could not afford to offend.

"Quick, go and entertain these righteous men, and invite them to come inside." Li Fangwei put on another look and ordered his entourage with a smile.

Just now, one of the mysterious people came forward and respectfully handed over a letter, Li Fangwei was a little curious but didn't dare to get too close, the light was very dim, Li Fangwei rushed in and asked his entourage to gather the lanterns. Sima read the letter, and the man said in a very strong Jiangdu accent: "The Lord has an explanation, if Mr. is in danger, it is better to go north earlier." ”

Li Fang was immediately anxious when he heard this, no matter how stupid he was, he realized that these people were not sent by the empress, but by the emperor of the Northern Dynasty to secretly protect Sima Yu. He is very attentive to Sima Qi these days, and completely regards Sima Qi as the future right minister, and almost forgets that Sima Qi is also a friend of the emperor of the Northern Dynasty, and Sima Qi first came to the Southern Dynasty, and he also followed the emperor of the Northern Dynasty who was the king of the East to envoy together.

"Sir, you can ......" Li Fangwei wanted to say something, but was stopped by Sima Yi waving his hand.

Sima Yi looked at the comer: "No need to persuade me, I won't go back for the time being, and I'll convey it on my behalf." ”

Hearing Sima Yu's words, Li Fangwei finally breathed a sigh of relief. Originally, he was worried that because of this assassination, Sima Yi would be affected as the right minister, but thinking that even his small place Taishou knew Sima Yu's past, how could King Hui and the empress in the court not know? Anyone can see that Sima Yi still remembers the Northern Dynasty in his heart, and even so, the empress still insists on appointing Sima Cheng as the right minister of the court, which shows how important Sima Yi's position in the empress's mind is. Li Fangwei smiled, in fact, he also felt redundant because he was too careful.

The people who came didn't say much, the purpose of their coming to the Southern Dynasty was to protect Sima Yi, and by the way, they translated the coded letter passed by Han Jian and handed it to Sima Yi. These people are different from Jiangdu's intelligence system, the people in the intelligence system are not responsible for Sima's day-to-day security, they will only regularly pass on the recent information to Sima.

After Sima finished speaking, he came to salute and retreated, originally Li Fangwei still wanted to entertain these people well, but thinking that these were originally the "fine works" sent by the Northern Dynasty, he didn't dare to have any entanglement with these people. Li Fangwei rushed in and explained to the people next to him that the assassins still had to search and arrest, but if these people who came to protect Sima just now did not need to be arrested, but he didn't know that these people would hide immediately after leaving, and Li Fangwei couldn't catch them even if he wanted to.

After the person left, Sima Yi put the letter in his arms, as if he was a little emotional. Li Fangwei stepped forward and said, "I don't know who wants to be unfavorable to you?" ”

Sima looked at Li Fang's only eye, some things are obvious without him saying it explicitly, and now there are two groups of people in the entire Southern Dynasty who want him to die the most, one is those staff under King Hui who are jealous of him, and the second wave is Zhu Tongjing's people. By this time, however, the soldiers had escorted the captured Assassin over. Li Fangwei waved his hand and said: "Escorted to the cell, tortured, and dared to assassinate the right minister, I really treat my Great Qi Dynasty Wang Fa as nothing!" In today's banquet, the Taishou Mansion must be strictly guarded before and after, and after the banquet, each family member will send someone to escort it, and there must be no mistake! ”

After arranging these, Li Fangwei turned around and said: "Someone will be unfavorable to Mr. tonight, for the sake of safety, Mr. will stay in the Taishou Mansion today, in order to be safe!" (To be continued......)
