Although Mei Yuexue has new injuries, she still insists on getting up early every day to urge everyone to practice, insists on painting as usual during the day, and carefully stamps her own seal on each work.

Seeing that he was going to paint at night with the lamp lit, he couldn't stand it anymore and said to him: "Childe, just take a break, painting is a trivial matter compared to your body." Mei Yuexue shook her head and said, "Lin Yi, you are the queen of the gate, don't you know what it means to lead by example?" As the owner of the village, I should be a role model for everyone, not to mention that my health is not so bad, although I have such an identity, but I have never been pampered. So many people have died for me, and I only hate that I can do so little now, if it weren't for the exhaustion of doing things during the day, at night, just the thought of the person who died for me, I can't sleep all night. ”

Lin Yi frowned and said: "I asked my eldest brother, the person who died for you was a soldier who committed a big crime, and it was also a good thing for him to let him die for you, we promised to save his reputation and save his family's face, so you helped him." ”

Mei Yuexue shook her head and said: "Lin Yi, you haven't been to the barracks, you haven't grown up in the deep palace, and you haven't participated in political affairs in an official position, where is this temple and rivers and lakes so simple?" Your big brother lied to you. If that person really committed a heinous crime that had to die, then this person must be placed in a very important place to be guarded. At that time, your Lin family's every move would attract the attention of the Luan family, if there is really such a prisoner, even your father can't guarantee that he will be able to take people away smoothly. Whether he was suddenly taken away, disappeared, or faked his death during the execution, it was easy to leave clues, and once the Luan family tracked it down, there were loopholes everywhere, and everyone lost. ”

Lin Yi's heart was shocked: "In this way, that person is ...... Is it willing to die for you? ”

Mei Yuexue nodded and said: "Only in this way is the best strategy, otherwise your Lin family and I will not be able to live safely until now, and the Luan thief can't find evidence, so I have to believe the fact that the prince was killed by the robbers." ”

Lin Yi was silent, lowered his head, and didn't speak for a long time.

Mei Yuexue patted him on the shoulder and said: "People like us, in a high position, others seem to be so glorious and glorious, but I don't know, how much I want to be a free person without worries?" There is still a long way to go, and we were born in the family of emperors and generals, and this is our destiny. ”

Lin Yi glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "My eldest brother said that I am too soft-hearted to be an official or to lead troops." Now it seems that this is indeed the case, it's not that my father doesn't pay attention to me, it's that I'm too useless, and I want to lose the face of the Lin family when I go to the battlefield, maybe I will even affect everyone. ”

Mei Yuexue said: "No one can bear a living human life, and your eldest brother is the same, but they also have to harden their hearts, because someone has to sacrifice." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said: "People can not be afraid of death, but what they want to die is valuable, and that is the glory of being a soldier and a general." ”

Mei Yuexue said: "He died for me, but also for the thousands of people of Damu, I have to take his unfinished mission and continue to do this, so I bear the responsibility of thousands of people in Damu who yearn for a peaceful life." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said: "My father has told me a long time ago, but I don't seem to know how heavy the burden on our shoulders is until now, I haven't dared to relax these days, I didn't expect that even so, I am far from what he said, and what you expect, next time, I will go with you to kill the thief!" ”

Mei Yuexue shook her head and said: "There are not so many thieves, I just clean it up, let the people around me know that this area is protected by me, now it's okay to just beat the reputation, at least let the people know that I, Mei Yuexue, am protecting them, and you are also protecting everyone, so that once something happens, there will be a greater opportunity to attract others here, and we don't have to bother to inquire about many things." ”

Lin Yi nodded and said, "That's the truth, then Miss Xiao, are you going to tell her the truth?" ”

Mei Yuexue said: "This matter is too complicated, I don't want to pull her in, she should live freely." ”

Lin Yi said: "Sometimes I can't help but doubt her identity, she is too unusual, I think be careful." ”

Mei Yuexue said: "No matter what, she has no bad intentions, let's look at herself." Anyway, at that time, my father's order was that from that day onwards, there would be no His Royal Highness Sui Han in this world, only Mei Yuexue, a chivalrous man in the rivers and lakes. In her heart, I can only be Mei Yuexue. ”

Lin Yi nodded and lit an oil lamp for him.

The next day, a passing villager found the dead body on the road and reported it to the government, and the government brought the dead body back for a check, only to know that these eleven people were all rogues, and this matter was done by the Red Plum Hero, and since then the reputation of the Red Plum Hero has spread in the temple.

Not long after this incident, Mei Yuexue asked Lao Bai, who went to the city to deliver pickles to the steamed bun shop, to send a batch of painted fans and umbrellas to Si Shichun, and brought a new batch back by the way. This was not a big deal, Lao Bai didn't pay attention, so he called the two children Xiao Wu and Xiao Nan to do it, which Cheng thought that the two children went for a whole hour and didn't come back, Lao Bai waited and felt that something was wrong, so he asked the brothers to stay, and went to Si Shichun by himself.

When he got there, Lao Bai saw that the guys in the store were a little faceless, so he didn't ask directly, and wanted to find their owner Boss Liu, who said that the owner had been in the capital, and there was a branch over there, not in the store, so Lao Bai had to ask him: "Is there a person from Mei Yuexue Mei Gongzi to pick up the fan, why hasn't anyone come back for so long?"

The guy was surprised: "Haven't you gone back yet?" There are just two young men, not very old, fifteen or sixteen years old, both of them are dark and thin, are you looking for these two? ”

Lao Bai heard his description of the score not bad, and hurriedly said: "Yes, it's the two of them, have you seen the two of them coming out of here and going?"

The guy wondered, "No, it shouldn't be like this." Just now we came to the store five people, to inquire about the residence of Mei Gongzi, four of the five people are men, headed by me I look at it should be a woman dressed as a man, dressed very exquisitely, the female son spoke very politely, said that it is a long admiration of the name of the son, specially came from afar to visit, I told them that Mei Gongzi lived in seclusion, we don't know where he lived, they were about to leave, it happened that these two little brothers came, we checked the goods as usual, the head of the female son swept the fan in the box, immediately asked, the two little brothers had to admit that they were Mei Gongzi's people, and the female son said that he wanted to ask them to borrow a step to speak, and then the two little brothers took a fan and followed the man out, as for where they went, I don't know. ”

Lao Bai's heart sank, and he secretly thought: "If you want to say that it is for the Red Plum Hero, it is possible to seek revenge, but if it is said to be for Mei Gongzi, these two boys should not be in any danger."

It's just that the tree is a big wind, what is the reason for not being white, Lao Bai is a little uneasy in his heart.

Si Shichun couldn't say anything here, Lao Bai had to ask people all the way, that group of people were dressed strangely, at first glance they were not ordinary people, Lao Bai finally inquired about their traces, it turned out to be back to Yanlou.

Lao Bai inquired about the shopkeeper of Huiyanlou, and the shopkeeper said: "Oh, as far as the person you just inquired about, he just explained, if someone finds him, let us take him to see him, don't worry, Xiao Er!"

The shopkeeper waved at a shopkeeper, and the second boy immediately ran over and said, "Do you have any orders from the shopkeeper?" The shopkeeper said, "Take this guest to meet the guest officer, the person he is waiting for is here."

"Come on, come here, please." Xiao Er enthusiastically led Lao Bai over, Lao Bai looked dazed, hesitated, and had to follow.

Lao Bai followed Xiao Er to the back guest room, and Xiao Er stepped forward and knocked on the door: "Childe, the person you are waiting for is here." A woman's voice said, "Please come in!"

Then the door opened, Xiao Er said goodbye and left, Lao Bai first looked at the situation in the door, and then looked at the people at the door, and saw that the other party was a slender waist and a practitioner, so he mentioned three points carefully and said: "I am here to find my brother, who are you."

The woman's voice inside the door said, "Chen Xian, you stand down, I'll tell him."

While talking, a young man walked out of it, but he saw that she had white lips and red lips, handsome eyes and eyebrows, and her spirit was bright, and her temperament was dazzling. Lao Bai remembered the words of his buddy in the previous four o'clock, and after a closer look, he saw that her voice was delicate, her eyebrows and eyes were warm, there was no Adam's apple in her neck, and her demeanor was quite feminine, so he was even more sure that this was a woman.

Although the other party is dressed in men's clothes, it is difficult to hide his handsome and beautiful appearance, Lao Bai has never seen such a beautiful woman at this age, and the other party's temperament is clean, just like a piece of snow-white jade carved out, although the voice of the warbler swallows, but there is quite a kind of nobility, which makes people dare not disobey.

But seeing her come forward, she respectfully hugged his fist and said, "This big brother, I have something to see Mei Gongzi, it is inconvenient for people to talk here, can you move to the house?" Don't worry, I know you have some concerns, these two little brothers of yours are too tight-mouthed, and when they come here, they just eat and drink, and refuse to say anything. I saw that they were too young to look like a steward, so I didn't ask much, and if I wanted to let one of them back, I was afraid that I would not be able to explain things clearly, and that you would misunderstand the people I had detained, so I left the two of them here to wait for someone to look for them. I have no ill intentions, I just have something very important to find your master, I just want to see him, I can tell my men to go out, and the three of you will deal with me, you can rest assured. ”

She said very sincerely, and after speaking, she waved her hand and ordered several other subordinates to go out, and those people went out of the house, and Lao Bai came in with confidence.

On the round table in the room, Xiao Wu and Xiao Nan were drinking tea, and the cups and plates in front of the two were messy, Lao Bai saw it and whispered: "You dare to eat what you don't know, who gives you something?"

The son-in-law smiled and said, "I told them, although we don't know each other, but I respect them as Mei Gongzi's people, and they can eat as much as they want." Even if I want to do them any harm, I won't poison them, and my followers can do it with their fingers. ”

Lao Bai asked, "What do you want to do?" Who are you, what are you doing when you see our Mei Gongzi? ”

The woman said, "Please give him a word: the willows by the river are green, and the wheat and seedlings are green." Remember? ”

"Is this a couplet?" Lao Bai asked.

The woman suddenly lowered her voice and said: "Yes, you just tell him this sentence, if he asks, you can ask him to come to Baijia Village Lvyangpo to see me at night, I will go to see him, I am the only one, even my entourage will not know, I just took them to tell you these things."

Lao Bai said: "If I promise you, are you willing to let him go?"

The woman said, "I didn't mean to detain them."

Lao Bai thought about it and felt that she was very sincere, not like a bad person, so he nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you."
