Mo Wen looked around: "This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the official post first." ”

Lin Ziyue saw Mo Wengu's serious expression, and he also knew that this matter should be extraordinary, so he immediately put away his playfulness and walked out of the cloud house with Mo Wengu.

After returning to the official post, Mo Wengu casually took off his cloak and hung it on a shelf beside him.

Lin Ziyue asked, "What is King Qing looking for me for?" ”

Mo Wengu sat down lazily and raised his eyes at him: "It's not because you are unwilling to return to Beijing in Yangzhou." What is there in Yangzhou that makes you worthy of nostalgia that makes you so worried? ”

Lin Ziyue pursed her lips dryly, not knowing how to answer for a while.

The matter is related to Shu Qing, and he needs to think twice before deciding.

"It's all a personal matter. King Qing said first. Lin Ziyue said vaguely.

Mo Wengu didn't pursue it, only breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "This king naturally came to you for something important, and the emperor has an order, let us set off for Chenzhou immediately." ”

"Chenzhou?" Lin Ziyue was puzzled, "What happened?" ”

Mo Wengu said in a deep voice: "Recently, someone has discovered that there are people selling illicit salt near Chenzhou, but those people are very cunning, treacherous, elusive, and bold, ignoring the power of the imperial court again and again. ”

"Selling illicit salt is indeed bold!" Lin Ziyue also realized the seriousness of the matter, "There were frequent letterheads in Beijing before, is it just for this matter?" ”

Mo Wengu nodded: "Not bad." ”

Lin Ziyue raised his eyebrows: "There is no mention of private salt in the credible note." ”

Mo Wengu smiled: "This is a secret operation, and only you and I and the emperor know about it at the moment, if it is written on letterhead, it will inevitably startle the snake and leak the news." ”

Lin Ziyue sighed and slapped himself secretly: "Hey, I almost delayed the big thing!" Since this is urgent, let's go as soon as possible. ”

With that, Lin Ziyue was going back to the inn to pack up.

"Wait." Mo Wengu stopped him with a smile, "It's not in a hurry, it's okay to set off early tomorrow morning." There is another important matter waiting for Brother Lin to deal with at the moment. ”

"What else is important?" Lin Ziyue asked curiously.

Mo Wengu smiled slightly, and didn't say anything, but only sold him a pass: "Brother Lin will go to the Shili Teahouse on the outskirts of Yangzhou by himself and take a look." ”

Lin Ziyue raised her eyebrows, although she felt suspicious in her heart, she still went to the Shili Teahouse alone.

When I arrived at the ten-mile teahouse, I saw that the teahouse was full of people, and there were many passers-by who were temporarily resting in the teahouse, but the table near the window was the most conspicuous.

Most of the passers-by were businessmen doing small business or ordinary people, but at the table near the window sat a delicate girl, sitting with her back to the door, and two guards with swords standing beside her, who knew at a glance that they had come from the capital.

Lin Ziyue paused for a moment and walked forward slowly.

When he got closer, he finally saw the girl's face clearly.

But seeing that her skin was white and snowy, her eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and her water was as bright as a first-ripe peach, Lin Ziyue recognized her at a glance: "Xi'er? ”

Lin Ziyue couldn't have imagined that the important thing that Mo Wengu said in his mouth turned out to be Chen Xi'er! Isn't that cheating on him?

By the time he wanted to escape, Chen Xi'er had already seen him.

"Brother Lin!" Chen Xi'er was overjoyed, she didn't expect Lin Ziyue to come to see her outside the city in person. The longing that had been suppressed for a long time finally poured out, Chen Xi'er stood up and threw herself into Lin Ziyue's arms.

was pounced on by Rusi Meiren, but Lin Ziyue was not happy at all, he was stunned, and said with a dry smile: "Miss Xi'er, why are you here?" ”

Chen Xi'er had mixed feelings, and there were both surprises and grievances in her voice: "I came with King Qing." ”

"This King Qing really hurt me!" Linzi Yue belly slander. It's no wonder that Mo Wengu smiled so sinisterly, it turned out that he actually brought Chen Xi'er with him.

Seeing that Lin Ziyue suddenly stopped talking, Chen Xi'er knew that he was probably unhappy. She lowered her eyes and immediately explained: "Xi'er just wanted to come over to see Brother Lin, and she would go back to the capital soon." ”

"It's fine." Lin Ziyue bowed, "You have to be more careful along the way." ”

Chen Xi'er thought that she had come all the way over, and Lin Ziyue would inevitably keep her, even if it was just polite, but she didn't expect Lin Ziyue to follow her words and let her leave quickly.

"Brother Lin, don't you want to see me like that?" Chen Xi'er smiled bitterly and asked in a low voice.

The sunlight shone obliquely, and Chen Xi'er's face was particularly sad and soft.

Lin Ziyue was speechless for a while, he was amorous, and he couldn't see the woman showing a pitiful expression, and now Chen Xi'er's pitiful appearance made him feel as if he was a little too much.

"No, Miss Xi'er, don't think about it, I am naturally very happy to meet old friends in this foreign country thousands of miles away." Lin Ziyue said, "It's just ......"

"Just what?" Chen Xi'er asked.

It's just that he is about to go to Chenzhou with Mo Wengu to investigate the case, and it is inconvenient to take care of her, and Chen Xi'er has not yet left the cabinet, how can he follow him every day? Lin Ziyue couldn't tell her these words, so he could only smile and say tactfully: "It's just that there are important things to do, and it's inconvenient to entertain." It's better for Miss Xi'er to go to the official post with me to rest for a while, and then arrange someone to send Miss Xi'er back to Beijing in the next meeting. ”

Chen Xi'er's chest rose and fell violently, she was deeply in love, but in exchange for his affection and coldness after all.

"No need." Chen Xi'er let go of him and took a step back very consciously, "Xi'er is not the kind of person who doesn't know the general situation, don't bother Brother Lin to send someone to see me off, Xi'er will go back by herself." ”

At this moment, the carriage happened to be parked outside, and the groom was resting beside her, and there were guards beside her to protect her, so there was no need to bother with leaving Lin Ziyue. When she came, she really just wanted to take a look at Lin Ziyue, but now that Lin Ziyue has come to the teahouse to see her, she can't be too greedy.

Chen Xi'er thought about it, and bowed to Linzi Yue Yingying: "I also want to ask Brother Lin to talk to Prince Qing, and say that Xi'er borrowed his two guards and went back to Beijing first." Brother Lin, take care. ”

After that, Chen Xi'er passed by Lin Ziyue and returned to the carriage.

The carriage did not stop long, and soon headed in the direction of the outside of Yangzhou City.

Lin Ziyue was still standing in the teahouse, and as he watched the carriage leave, a trace of loss appeared in his heart.
