"And when are you going to go? I go with you. I said that the woman I fancy must get her hands, and this Jiang Tingxue is naturally no exception! "Even if he suffered so many sins because of this incident, Yan Lingyang still never gave up on Jiang Tingxue, I really don't know how scoundrel this person is. There is still tenacity and perseverance among the scoundrels, but he seems to have used this spirit in the wrong place, and if it is used in dealing with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it may not be bad.

Yan Lingzhan's eyes changed slightly, and he stared at him meaningfully for a long time, with a hint of dissuasion in his tone: "It's just a woman, why should the fourth brother be so persistent, now that there is a lot of trouble in Qiantang City, does the fourth brother really not care about his identity and face?" If such a ridiculous thing is transmitted back to the monarchy, it will be the face of the father, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape punishment at that time. ”

"The people who know our identity are Yuan Wenling and the slaves in this house, if they don't say it, who will know. Let's go together, this time pay more attention to our words and deeds, and we will not make mistakes again. Yan Lingyu faintly squinted at the person not far away, showing no concern.

Xiao Ye, who was standing quietly by the bead curtain, twitched the corner of his eyes imperceptibly, this person didn't remember the lesson at all, not only did he get injured, but he also pushed his attendant into the prison, and now he didn't know how to restrain himself. Xiao Ye couldn't help but be glad that he was following the right master, he didn't want to be in prison for fifteen years in vain because of a woman, it was really wronged.

Yan Lingzhan was a little speechless, so he simply didn't turn his head, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's better to go sooner rather than later." ”

At this time, it was noon, Yan Lingyu stretched his neck and looked out of the empty window, it can be said that the sun is like fire, the grass and trees in the garden fluctuate slightly in the scorching air as if they are distorted, and the sun is dazzling. Just looking at it, a layer of sweat seemed to be breaking out on his body, he unconsciously picked it up and shook his head, picked up the fan on the desk and shook it gently, and said, "It's okay to go when it's cooler, right?" Besides, this injury on my body will be a problem for my stay, and I am afraid it will take five or six days. ”

"It's important for the fourth brother to recuperate quietly first, and I'll go by myself. Hey, after all, it's because of me that you were sent by your father to look for Yuan'er with me, and I have to take responsibility for your injury this time, and now I only hope that your injury will heal soon. Yan Lingzhan sighed, and his somewhat stunned eyes wandered around the house at will, and he inadvertently noticed those objects for Yan Ling's pastime, and picked the corner of his left eye, "Fourth brother, doesn't this city guard mansion be his own mansion, right?" ”

Yan Ling smiled, and the folding fan shook comfortably in his hand: "This is called being at home." ”

"Fourth brother, rest well, I'll go first." Yanlingzhan was completely speechless, raised his eyebrows and instructed lightly, and went out silently.

Yanlingzhan was originally going to Jiangfu, but when he heard that the young lady of the Jiang family was taking care of business in Qianzhuang during the day, he directly ordered someone to lead the way to Qianzhuang. The person saw it, but in the end, it was just a matter of taking a lot of effort, no matter how much he asked, he couldn't find anything valuable from Jiang Tingxue's tone.

In desperation, Yanlingzhan could only go back to the city guard mansion first, went to see Zhong Lihuan, talked for a while, and never came out again after returning to the room alone. Until the evening, Xiao Ye held a white dove and finally knocked on the door of the room that had been silent for a long time.

After getting permission from inside, Xiao Ye pushed the door in with one hand, turned around and gently closed the door. He walked straight to Yanlingzhan, who was standing in front of the window to watch the sunset, and reported: "Childe, the flying pigeon of Prime Minister Zuoqiu." ”

The setting sun had already sunk most of his body on the top of the mountain, and the sky was shining with clouds, and the brilliant red was fainted from deep to shallow. A beam of slanting sun was cast from the depression on the top of the mountain, as if it had gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and finally sprinkled on Yanlingzhan's distracted face, lighting up his eyes as deep as a lake.

Hearing the respectful voice ringing in his ears, Yan Lingzhan slowly withdrew his gaze, and when he turned around, he realized that his vision was already blurry and dizzy. He closed his eyes for a moment, and when he regained his clarity in front of him, Fang took the letter that had been taken from the carrier pigeon from Xiao Ye's hand. The creed slowly unfolded at his fingertips, and he only glanced at the contents of the paper from top to bottom, but his face was already a little solemn, and his eyes froze.

Xiao Ye saw the clue and asked, "Childe, what happened?" ”

"The second brother's people were impeached and imprisoned." Yan Lingzhan rubbed his fingertips unconsciously on the note, staring ahead, his tone was light, and he fell into shallow thought.

Xiao Ye's eyes wandered slightly, he hesitated in his heart, opened the corners of his mouth, but did not make a sound. After thinking about it again, he finally lowered his eyes and said: "Childe, now that the situation in Jundu is becoming more and more critical, it is important to find the whereabouts of Princess Liwu, but we must not miss the major events of Jundu because of this, so that people with intentions can take advantage of the situation." I also hope that the son will think twice, there are priorities, and he should go back as soon as possible. As for the search for the princess, the son is not missing. ”

The slanting sun plated a layer of golden light on the back of Yanling Stack, his eyes were not focused, and there was a faint entanglement and melancholy between his eyebrows. He stopped there and was silent for a long time, repeating what Xiao Ye had just said in his mind. After a long time, he nodded vaguely and responded, "Well, go and prepare, and leave for Jundu early tomorrow morning." ”

"I just hope that you don't blame me, this is also a helpless move, for the sake of you and my future, it can only be like this, can you understand Brother Zhan?" After Yan Lingzhan whispered to himself, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, his helpless expression mixed with a hint of loneliness. In the face of his beloved and his own interests, this time he finally chose the latter. It is no wonder that Ling Xiao saw through the so-called feelings of the royal family early in the morning and disdained the marriage. It's just that she has studied history for so many years, and she shuttles in front of various interests every day, and she has long been disgusted with these, and Yanlingzhan is just one of the many profit-seekers in her opinion.

Xiao Ye looked at his master's well-defined side face, the corners of his eyebrows raised slightly, and asked, "What should the fourth son do?" He was so injured that he couldn't move yet. ”

Yan Lingzhan half-opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Ye, and the corners of his lips raised slightly: "Fourth brother is probably reluctant to leave this Qiantang City for a while, and I will go to say goodbye to him at night." When he has enough time in this Qiantang City, he will naturally go back. After all these years, don't you know him? ”

"Yes. The subordinate retired first. Xiao Ye bowed and saluted, and went out with the carrier pigeon in his arms.

Sure enough, as Yan Lingzhan expected, Yan Lingzhen was unwilling to return to Jundu now, which had nothing to do with the injuries on his body, but before he hugged the beautiful woman into his arms, he was unwilling to leave like this. Moreover, after returning to Jundu, he lost some of his freedom, and under the nose of his father, his behavior still needs to be restrained. But here is different, without the shackles of the prince's identity, he feels at ease.

Two days after Yanlingzhan left, Zhong Lihuan also returned to Gusu with Ji Wunian. In the entire city guard, only one distinguished guest, Yanling, remained. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, how long he wants to live here, Yuan Wenling has no objection. But what Yuan Wenling is afraid of is that if this person is injured, he will act arbitrarily.

However, Yuan Wenling was really afraid of something, this person was just able to get off the ground and walk around without being supported, so he shouted for the slave to prepare a sedan chair, saying that he would go to the prison to see his unjustly squatting attendant. The servant who was in charge of taking care of Yan Lingwang told the housekeeper about Yan Ling's request, and the housekeeper thought about it again and again, and reported it to his master, after all, this prison is not something that can be explored casually.

Locked up the attendant, the fourth prince was already very dissatisfied, and now if he is not allowed to visit again, I am afraid that he will really be forced to hurry. Yuan Wenling agreed without thinking too much, and directly asked the housekeeper to arrange it, but he didn't have time to follow Yanling's side.

Yuan Wenling waved off the housekeeper for less than an hour, and a jailer came and said that there was something important to report. Yuan Wenling's eyes froze, he beckoned someone in, put down the bamboo slip in his hand and asked, "What's the matter?" The face is so ugly. ”

"My lord, you better go and see for yourself, this, this, the little ones really don't know what to do." The jailer squeezed out the folds of embarrassment, and said so much that he didn't explain the matter for a long time.

Yuan Wenling glanced at the jailer a few times, frowned slightly, and didn't say anything, just beckoned the attendant to prepare the horse. He wanted to see what it was that could make this jailer look like this. However, he knew that this matter was inseparable from Yanling, and he didn't know what this person was doing.

At this moment, when the streets were full of pedestrians, Yuan Wenling rode a slow horse through the two prosperous main streets, and turned into a relatively deserted wide alley, and the prison was at the other end of this alley.

Before Yuan Wenling walked to the door of the prison, he saw a group of people watching the excitement from a distance, and a sedan chair was parked in the middle of the crowd. Yan Lingyu was standing next to the sedan chair, arguing with the two jailers who were blocking his way. Yuan Wenling's brows were deeply locked, and he really guessed it again, it really didn't make people calm for a moment, what kind of fame did this sedan chair make?

Thinking of this, Yuan Wenling's legs went to the horse's belly, and the horse sped up in an instant, leaving the jailer far behind.

Several jailers at the door saw Yuan Wenling's figure as if they had seen a savior, and they were relieved, and took the initiative to cross the crowd to greet them: "My lord, you are here." ”

Yuan Wenling turned over and got off the horse neatly, and after handing over the reins to the jailer, he squeezed into the crowd unhurriedly, spread out his palms and pointed at the sedan chair, but his sharp gaze was aimed at Yan Ling's bruised face: "Childe, what do you mean by this?" ”

Annotation: Pingzhun Ling, the official in charge of prices in Xianyang and the counties of the Qin Dynasty, and his boss was the Zhisu Neishi in Jiuqing.

I feel as if in general, whether it's an overhead TV series or a novel, it uses a three-province six-part system. The official title of the Pingzhuan Order is relatively unfamiliar to many people, so I will explain it here. There will be a lot of unfamiliar official titles used later, and I will explain them when the time comes.

In fact, I haven't had a careful understanding of the three provinces and six ministries system, I think there should be more than a dozen officials in the central government in the whole imperial court, and there are many small official positions that are relatively unfamiliar.
