Chapter 11: The Bottom Line
Looking at the scattered teacup crumbs, the wet paper, the toppled table, and the half mask that fell to the ground, Li Xin's brows furrowed slightly.
Looking at the man who fell to the ground and was subdued, he was wearing a light wide-sleeved shirt, and his underwear was wide open, revealing the tight texture lines inside.
Li Xin stepped off the high platform, cloud boots stepped on the luxurious blanket, and she slowly approached.
Reach out and lift the man's chin.
He has thick eyebrows and a broad nose, a strong body, and is subdued by the guards, with his scattered green hair draped over his shoulders and his robe flamboyant, which has a unique style.
"How is Yale Kaye lately?"
"Phew!"
"You are not allowed to defile our regent!"
Li Xin didn't care too much, turned around, walked to the high platform, picked up the mask, and put it on.
"I didn't want to kill you, after all, you look okay, and some people are happy to send it to the army."
The man trembled, what did he mean by this, and secretly scolded this woman for being shameless.
"It's a pity that those who have seen my true face are either my people or dead people."
As soon as he finished speaking, the guard cut the man's throat when he saw it, and then stepped on the man and immediately went to the temple.
The maidservant who was waiting for the opportunity in the temple, at this time took the copper basin and the broom, and gushed out, just that, the whole hall was restored to its original state.
When Ximen Xue came, he was holding a secret letter in his hand, his expression was a little serious, and the ladies serving tea slowly retreated.
"Master, Kyoto's secret letter."
"Huh?"
"The Holy Lord wants the master to return to Beijing as soon as possible."
"Hmm."
Ximen Xue's face was dark, her eyebrows were wrinkled, she was obviously a rare beautiful man, but now she was thinking about it.
"Yunzhou City has only fallen for two or three years, and some cities have just been laid for less than half a year, the master left at this time, I am afraid that there will be changes in the city, and then many years of hard work will be burned."
Li Xin knocked on the table, and walked out of a beautiful and handsome girl from the side, gentle and graceful, quiet and elegant, holding a roster in her hand and sending it to Ximen Xue.
Ximen Xue took it, slightly stunned, and opened the scroll at the master's signal, dumbfounded.
"The master already knew, why didn't he get rid of it?"
Some of the people in the list turned out to be key generals arranged in the sixteen cities of Yunzhou, and one of them even had a drink with him a while ago, and a pool of cold sweat oozed from Ximen Xue's back.
"Nothing, these small fish and shrimp are kept for their own usefulness, what I am most interested in is an inconspicuous character in it, I don't know if Mr. can see the clues?"
Hearing this, Ximen Xue took a closer look at the list on the entire scroll again, and her eyebrows tightened.
"General Meng Dong!"
Simon was dumbfounded.
"He's the master's cousin's brother, right?" Simon looked up at the master sitting on the cushion of the cloud table on the high platform, and although his face was obscured, he could still feel the anger condensed under the mask.
"Master, in the first battle of Jian'an, 100,000 soldiers died alive." Ximen Xue knelt on one knee, "Please also ask the master to avenge their grievances and make the snow clear, and the world will be peaceful!" ”
Li Xin stepped down from the high platform, helped Ximen Xue up, turned around and asked, "Sir, do you know why I handed over this list to you?" ”
"Is the master going to guard the sixteen cities of Yunzhou?"
Li Xin nodded, "Mr. is talented, he can win thousands of miles away with his strategy, and Mr. is the most suitable and trusted person." ”
Ximen Xue's face was flushed, he was only twenty-five or sixteen years old, just a few years old for the woman in front of him, if it wasn't for her rescue, and appreciation, I am afraid that he would have starved to death in the Xizhou prison, where is there still time to show his strength today.
"As long as the master is willing, Ximen is willing to protect every grass, tree, soldier and general in Yunzhou for the master."
Li Xin took out the seal around his waist and handed it to Simon.
"Although this is not the seal of the champion Hou, but it can command the guards of the cities in Yunzhou, I wear a mask all the year round, they only recognize this thing, you take it, Zhao Meng transferred troops back to the city to guard Yunzhong City, Zhou Yong will take over the border affairs, the two of them I have ordered, will obey the dispatch of Mr. It's just that the two of them can't disclose this list, even at the most critical juncture, they can't tell others. ”
"Simon understands." Ximen Xue took the seal, carefully protected it, and then was stunned, "Did the master know that he was going back to Beijing?" ”
The corners of Li Xin's lips rose, and he didn't deny it.
When the rumors first spread, she knew that the attack on her was about to begin.
Those who are hidden in the shadows, after enduring four years, are finally about to start shooting.
Li Xin left the hall, Ximen was a little hesitant, looking at the woman who was sorting out the books and files on the stage, she still walked up.
"Moon......
Lang Yue turned her head and looked at the man who was squirming and squirming, and frowned, "What's the matter?" ”
Ximen Xue pinched the seal, "Langyue, can you help me make a purse?" ”
Lang Yue's eyes darkened, Ximen Xue secretly screamed badly, and quickly rubbed the corner of his clothes and explained, "That, that, what I think is that this thing is so important, it still needs to be kept closely." ”
"I want a purse that I can wear around my neck, and I think that if someone else does it, I am afraid that I will leak the secret, and I will hide my ears and steal the bell. So--so--"
"Okay."
Ximen Xue was stunned and raised her head, only to see a cyan skirt rippling across it.
--
Li Xin immediately went to the study directly, there were no waiting ladies, she lived in the dark.
At night, she has excellent eyesight. Walking to the Bogu shelf, turning the inconspicuous Qingding, a square entrance of less than two people appeared on the ground behind the bookcase circle chair, and the dim light inside illuminated the layers of stairs.
Li Xin walked down, the inside was excellently arranged, elegant and comfortable, but the big knife hanging in the center looked out of place.
Hearing her footsteps, the man in the room turned around, his eyes tied with green ribbons, and a smile on his face.
"You're here?"
"Hmm."
Looking at the food on the table in the southeast corner, Li Xin frowned, "But it's not the same appetite?" ”
The man shook his head, "No, it's just ......"
Li Xin looked into his eyes and his disabled legs in a wheelchair.
She forgot that in order to protect him, and the news he brought, she did not dare to let anyone contact him, knowing that he was still alive.
"I'm sorry."
The man turned his wheelchair and walked to Li Xin's side, and tried it for a long time before he knew her hand, "No, you're doing a good job--"
--
Two days later, the whole of Yunzhou knew the news of the marquis's return to Kyoto.
In order not to cause a riot, Ximen Xue claimed to the outside world that he would return to Beijing to meet his relatives near the end of the year.
The merchants of the sixteen cities of Yunzhou moved one after another, offering the treasures they had collected for a long time to meet the female marquis.
Half Moon looked at the procession holding the treasure and stretching throughout the city, and finally shook his head and gnawed on the fruit in his hand.
"Fruit and water, delicious, emmmm~"
Lang Yue, who was kneeling on the cushion next to him and recording each treasure on the table, was stunned for a moment, looked up, and then continued to write helplessly.
Half Moon pulled two mats and sat next to Lang Yue.
Half Yuesheng is unusually tall, even if he is sitting, he is one and a half heads taller than Lang Yue from Jiangnan Water Town. She propped up the table, and immediately took up half of it, and Rong Yuexing's eyes were just a glance, and she continued to write the list.
"Girl, this is a red gold head specially made for the princess, and the best craftsmen have been hired, and there are a total of one hundred and eight pearls on it, and the largest one is the size of a baby's fist......"
