Xi Ye smiled slightly: "Not bad." Ah Zheng, you can have fun today, as long as it doesn't involve military affairs, you can handle everything else. ”

Xiao Yezi approached Lu Zheng and said in a low voice: "The little woman recently bought a few fireworks, I heard that they are new styles, and the patterns are big and bright. It's just that the price is a bit expensive, and I have been reluctant to put it. When I met the general today, I was willing to part with my love. Why don't we go outside and set off fireworks together, okay? ”

Lu Zheng smiled shyly: "...... I can make this ordinary firework more beautiful, believe it or not? ”

"Really?" Xiao Yezi's face was surprised.

"What's this? General Lu is the best at developing gunpowder, and it is just a firework, so of course General Lu can settle it. Xuan Ce smiled.

Xiao Yezi covered her lips and smiled: "That...... General Lao Lu opened my eyes. With that, he took Lu Zheng's hand and left the table, took the firework and the fire fold and came to the small courtyard behind a drunken workshop. The flowers and trees in the small courtyard are luxuriant, and the night scene is cool. The two of them found a spot and started setting off fireworks. Lu Zheng wanted to show his talent, so he asked Xiao Yezi to put one first, and then put another one himself. Under Lu Zheng's skillful transformation, the pattern of the second firework is really different from the first. Xiao Yezi was amazed, although he was facing an eleven-year-old child, he also deeply admired from the bottom of his heart: "The general is really powerful." ”

Lu Zheng saw that she admired herself, and she was also proud in her heart, and immediately smiled shyly: "You call me Ah Zheng." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled softly: "Okay, Ah Zheng." She just wanted to speak, but suddenly saw a figure moving in the dark, presumably it was Xuan Ce's personal soldiers who were watching the two, and she didn't know what to do at the moment, so she was only concentrating on playing with Lu Zheng.

Lu Zheng took Xiao Ye and set off a few more fireworks, and then he was happy, lying on the lawn and stretching: "Ah...... It's been a long time since I've had this fun. He turned around, looked at Xiao Yezi gently, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, willing to play with me." ”

Xiao Yezi was already ready to be charming, but he didn't know that he Lu Zheng was so simple, he couldn't help but relax a little bit of his guard, and gently stroked his head: "No one plays with you?" Are your parents not with you? ”

Lu Zheng pursed his lips: "I haven't seen my parents since I was a child, and I was raised by my nurse." Since I was a child, I have been raised in the research institute, learning all kinds of construction techniques and military strategies, and if I get distracted, I will be reprimanded by Wanyan. With such high pressure, where do you dare to have someone to play with me. ”

Xiao Yezi saw that his face was gloomy at a young age, and he was also feeling pity in his heart, and smiled slightly: "It's a pity." If you want to stay here in the future, you can come to me at any time. I don't have anything else here, enough to play. ”

Lu Zheng was overjoyed, and grabbed Xiao Yezi's hand: "Really? ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "As long as I still live in this drunken shop, you are welcome to come at any time." ”

Lu Zheng grinned: "That's great." I don't know your name yet. ”

Xiao Yezi smiled: "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Hongjiao." ”

Lu Zheng's eyes rolled: "Then ......" His face turned red, "If I call you sister...... Ahem, call you a small waist, will you be angry? ”

In a trance, she seemed to see another Li Li. Xiao Yezi's heart moved, and he smiled sweetly: "You have allowed me to call you Ah Zheng, how can I be angry?" ”

Lu Zheng stared at her gentle eyebrows, and his hand gently touched her veil: "You...... Why do you always wear a veil? Aren't you depressed? ”

"I can't help it. We dancers have a lowly status, and we show up for the sake of our livelihood, and we already have a thorn in our hearts. With this veil, it's just that I'm afraid that some bad people will see it......" Xiao Yezi sighed, "but ...... It's just a gentleman, not a villain. The last time I met that General Akuibu, he was very unreasonable, and he wanted to pull my veil when he came up. Fortunately, I lied that I had sworn an oath in front of the Bodhisattva, and I was able to escape. But his ruthless appearance, I still have palpitations when I think about it, for fear that he will make trouble again. What will I do then? ”

Lu Zheng hadn't heard this story, so he was busy pestering her to tell it, and after listening to it, he hated it: "This Ah Kwai Bu is usually rude and rude, but I didn't expect to openly bully you as a little girl, it's really a bastard." Seeing that Xiao Yezi had a sad face, he hurriedly clasped her hands and said softly, "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." I'm at the same level as Ah Kuibu, as long as I'm stationed here, no matter how ruthless he is, he won't dare to touch you. You can rest assured. ”

Seeing that he was genuinely caring, Xiao Yezi couldn't help but be a little moved, and he didn't withdraw his hand at the moment, and said with a smile: "That'...... I want to thank you. ”

"You don't have to thank ...... As long as you're willing to play with me, that's fine. Lu Zheng grinned.

Xiao Yezi let him hold it for a while, then he sat up with his hand and gently took off the veil: "People say that they don't know their faces, and they don't really make friends...... You are the first man in Yandang City to see my true face. ”

After the veil fell, a hibiscus face appeared in front of her, with three points of charm and three points of innocence, so that Lu Zheng couldn't take his eyes off for a moment: "You...... You were born so beautiful. He lowered his head and smiled shyly, "You treat me as a man, I ...... I'm happy. ”

"That'...... I'll just take you as a promise to be my friend. Xiao Yezi said softly.

"Hmm...... We're friends. Lu Zheng's voice was unnaturally gentle.

At this moment, the feast was dispersed, and a retainer came to give an order. Xiao Ye also took the opportunity to bring back the veil. Lu Zheng was hindered by the military order, so he had to say goodbye to Xiao Yezi, and followed Xi Ye out of a drunken workshop step by step.

Xuan Ce sent Xi Ye and Lu Zheng away, and then he glanced back at Xiao Yezi behind him, and smiled slightly: "You are very smart and know when to do something." ”

Xiao Yezi bent his knees slightly, and said softly: "Yandang City is looking at the general's horse, and the little woman just wants to seek shelter for a while." ”

Xuan Ce smiled: "Smart people don't suffer." Don't worry, as long as you can help me achieve great things, I will not treat you badly. ”

Xiao Yezi bowed and smiled: "Thank you, General." ”

Xuan Ce smiled: "I want you to take this token and go to Yandu City." ”

Yandu City? Isn't it the capital of the Yanjin Empire? Xiao Yezi was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xuan Ce's intentions were.

As soon as Xuan Ce's hand was raised, a piece of jade pendant fell into Xiao Yezi's hand. Xiao Yezi could see clearly through the light, and this jade pendant was clearly Yelu Xiye's thing. Xiao Yezi's eyes moved, and he said in a low voice: "I don't know what the general commands?" ”

Xuan Ce said with a smile: "Yelu Xiye has a wife and a concubine who live in Yandu City. I have bought Xi Ye's domestic servant, you follow him to Yandu City to meet Yelu Xiye's wife. said that Xi Ye missed his wife in Yandang City and asked her to come and accompany him. The jade pendant is a token. ”

Xiao Yezi put away the jade pendant, suddenly remembered something, and said, "That...... What about General Lu Zheng? ”

"Lu Zheng, this little ghost, has not grown a few hairs, but he has learned to rob women first. Hmph, let him ask for nothing but a little, it will only be better. Xuan Ce smiled, "You go, I'll deal with it here." ”

Xiao Yezi bowed on his knees and said with a smile: "In ancient times, there was a golden sword plan, and now there is a jade plan, the general is very intelligent, and he will definitely be able to achieve great things." ”

Xuan Ce suddenly turned around, took Xiao Yezi in his arms, tore off the veil on her face, grabbed her jaw and looked at it carefully, and said with a smile: "It's really pure and moving, no wonder Lu Zheng's kid is also moved by you." Do things well. If you do a good job, as a reward, I will take you as a concubine, and save you from having to show up and eat on this knife. ”

Xiao Yezi held back the disgust in her heart and smiled slightly: "Thank you for the general's mercy, the little girl will definitely live up to the general's expectations." ”

Xuan Ce laughed a few times, let go of the little leaf, and walked away.

As soon as Xuan Ce left, Qiu Yishui hurried out of the shadows and stood in front of Xiao Yezi, with a look of disgust: "What a pretentious guy, I hate it very much." ”

Xiao Yezi smiled coldly: "It's okay." As long as he can take the opportunity to bring him and Yelu Xiye down, when the time comes, he will have to die no matter how he is allowed to die. ”

The next day, Xiao Yezi left Chai Song to guard a drunken workshop, and set off with only Qiu Yishui, and followed Xi Ye's servants all the way to Yandu City. Under the protection of the servant's operation and tokens, Mrs. Yelu soon believed what the servant said, and secretly left the house with the soft and went to Yandang City. And the remaining concubine in the family was bought by Xiao Yezi and Qiu Yishui with money, and secretly sent someone to escort her to the northwest border to report that Mrs. Xi Ye had left Beijing without permission. The concubine lived up to expectations, successfully saw Wan Yan Xuan, and reported Xi Ye for taking his wife away without permission. Although Wan Yan didn't believe it, he was also secretly dissatisfied with Xi Ye's move.

Xiao Yezi and Qiu Yishui hurried back to Yandang City and reported the results of the incident to Xuan Ce. Xuan Ce was very happy, and secretly rewarded Xiao Ye with a lot of jewelry and silk. I haven't seen Xiao Yezi for many days, and Xuan Ce also misses it a little, so he invited Xiao Yezi to stay at home for a banquet. Xiao Yezi said that Lu Yuan was tired, so he went back to a drunken workshop. Xuan Ce saw that the beauty refused to take what he wanted, and his heart was itching, so he was even more different from Xiaoyezi.

As soon as I returned to a drunken workshop, I saw Lu Zheng waiting there. Lu Zheng was holding a large number of newly invented gadgets, and as soon as he saw Xiao Yezi returning, he immediately jumped up: "Xiao Waist, Xiao Waist, as soon as I heard that you were back, I came to see you...... Oh, what do you see I've brought you? ”

Xiao Yezi beat his spirits and played with Lu Zheng for a while, Lu Zheng was happy, so he talked about his birthday with Xiao Yezi. Hearing that Lu Zheng's birthday was approaching in the near future, Xiao Yezi smiled and said that he wanted to prepare a gift. Lu Zheng was joking, and suddenly heard a commotion outside the door of the drunken shop: "That kid, dare to block my Uncle Akuibu's way?" Why don't you call Li Hongjiao out to drink with the uncle! ”

As soon as Lu Zheng heard that Ah Kuibu was coming, he became annoyed: "This bastard, he has come here to make trouble three times and two times, he really doesn't take me seriously!" Don't be afraid, watch me go out and teach him! After saying that, he got up and broke out of the door and shouted, "Ah Kwai Bu! What kind of drunken madness are you sowing here! ”

Ah Kwai Bu drank a lot of wine today, it was a drunken attack, and Ping Japan disdained him Lu Zheng was at the same level as himself at a young age, and immediately spread wild: "You stinky boy who has not dried up, and you dare to stop the uncle!" Tell you, that is, Hule Xuance treats you as a general and puts you in my Dragon and Tiger Hall, you Lu Zheng is a little Southern barbarian who picked you up, it's a fart! Uncle, I beat you to the west with a mace, do you believe it or not? ”

Lu Zheng snorted coldly: "I see that I will let you go in front of General Yelu and General Hule, if you speak disrespectfully again, don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Ah Kui Bu ignored Lu Zheng, and was full of nonsense, every sentence was satirizing Xi Ye and Xuan Ce, and insulting Lu Zheng by the way. Lu Zheng was just about to send troops to take him and punish him for the crime of being disrespectful, when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps in front of the door, and a northern tyrant had strode in, it was Yelu Xiye.

Ah Kuibu didn't find out that Xi Ye was there, and he insulted himself. Xi Ye stood behind and squinted and listened quietly, his face cloudy. When Lu Zheng saw Yelu Xiye coming, he hurriedly threw away the toys in his hand, and led his soldiers to kneel down to greet him: "Knock on General Yelu!" ”

Ah Kuibu was stunned for a moment, and when he turned around, he saw Xi Ye standing behind him, and his heart was empty, but he had always been bold, and he drank again, so he was even more annoyed when he couldn't get off the stage: "Why did Lao Tzu scold you?" Lao Tzu is Yan Jinguo's uncle, and he is the brother of Wanyan Li's favorite concubine, who dares to take me? ”

"Even if you are the king of heaven today, I will teach you a lesson for the emperor!" With a wave of Xi Ye's hand, a team of pro-soldiers had already pounced on Ah Kuibu. As soon as Ah Kuibu's stout upper body struggled, he shook off his own soldiers and strode towards Xi Ye: "Today I want to see what you are capable of this day ninja sect fighting god?" ”

Xi Ye snorted, and suddenly struck out with a palm, slapped on Ah Kuibu's left shoulder, and knocked Ah Kuibu out a few feet away, he sneered: "Come on, tie up this guy for me, and bring it back to the house for interrogation!" Lu Zheng, come over too! ”

Lu Zheng was stunned, he didn't expect Xi Ye to call him, so he had to say goodbye to Xiao Yezi and follow.

Xiao Yezi thought for a while, and called Qiu Yishui to say: "Xuan Ce is Ah Kuibu's boss, he wants to bring down Xi Ye, and he is bound to protect Ah Kuibu." You go and inform Xuan Ce, and say that Xi Ye took Ah Kui Bu and will be punished. As long as he protects Ah Kuibu and uses Ah Kuibu's hatred and power to impeach Xi Ye, Xi Ye's abdication will be half of it. ”

Qiu Yishui responded: "Okay, I'll go." ”

Within a few days, Chai Song got the news and shared it with Xiao Yezi with a smile: "You guessed a little. Xuan Ce really saved Ah Kwai Bu. And Ah Kuibu was also secretly angry, and had written to Yanjin Guojun Wanyan Li and the crown prince Wanyan, suing Xi Ye for a complaint, saying that Xi Ye supported the army and respected himself, and spoke wildly. Coupled with the crime of Mrs. Xi Ye secretly leaving Beijing, Wan Yan was already suspicious of Xi Ye. As long as we add another fire to them, Xi Ye, the pillar of the country, will be destroyed by our hands. ”

Xiao Yezi smiled slightly: "What new clues does Lu Zheng have here?" He hasn't been here for a while. ”

Chai Song responded: "Lu Zheng, this kid is smart and smart, but he is too childish. If it weren't for Xi Ye's kindness to him, even if he was in danger, he would have to protect Lu Zheng's talents in this country, otherwise another hundred Lu Zheng would also kill Ah Kuibu. After hearing that Yan Yan was suspicious of Lu Zheng's quarrel with Ah Kuibu, he punished Lu Zheng to hide in his house and study firearms, and he was not allowed to come out to play casually. Lu Zheng has recently been developing a very powerful artillery piece called Tiefutuo, which has encountered obstacles in his research and is bored at home. Xi Ye saw that he was in distress, and he also wanted to let him be free for a day, but he was urged to do so, and Lu Zheng didn't dare to slack off, so he didn't dare to come out at home. ”

Xiao Yezi listened to it, and seemed to feel something in his heart. While he was thinking about it, suddenly the attendant came to report: "General Xuan Ce is here." ”
