It rained all night in the capital, and all the filth and blood were washed away by the rain.

The sky was bright, Xie Han dressed up in disguise, avoided people's eyes and ears all the way, and blended into Zhang's mansion.

Zhang Xiang met him in his study. The two closed the door and talked secretly for a long time, and when Xie Han left, there was a little relaxation in his expression.

Returning to the Jingping Marquis Mansion from the corner gate, the housekeeper sent a message, saying that someone had made an appointment to meet in the Zhuangyuan Building, and asked the Marquis of Jingping to talk about it.

Xie Han raised his peach eyebrows when he heard this. If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, if he is not secret, he will lose his body, and if he is not secret, he will not succeed.

The only people who knew that they had returned to Beijing were Zhang Xiang, who had just visited, except for His Majesty and the commander of Qinglongwei.

The person on the letter named him by name, but he was afraid that the person who came was not good.

"Master Hou, do you want the slave to arrange it for you?" The housekeeper carefully observed Xie Han's face and asked cautiously.

"No, did the letter say what time it was?"

Xie Han walked into the main courtyard as he spoke, changed the clothes on his body, removed his disguised wig and beard, and washed his face in a copper basin.

After drying it with a towel, Xie Han revealed a handsome face, and even the light in the room seemed to brighten up.

There was a hint of amazement in the butler's eyes. No wonder Hou Ye is a father person, he is still the head of the sons of Shangjing, such a look and bearing, can be called "Lang Yan is unique, the world is unique".

When the queen was sent to Jiangnan, the housekeeper went with the boat, and she also saw the cousin of the Gu Mansion.

Although the cousin of the Gu family is a talented and famous person in Jiangnan, he is still dwarfed by Hou Ye.

Thinking of this, the housekeeper suddenly smiled. The queen mother is now the mother of the world, and thinking about the past is just a melancholy.

The housekeeper restrained his mind and replied respectfully: "Back to the Hou Ye, the other party has made an appointment at the end of the unitary time." ”

Xie Han's face smacked when he heard this, and he sneered: "Hide your head and show your tail, and act small." That's it, Ben Hou will go to meet him. ”

After Xie Han finished speaking, he came to the desk, wrote a line of words on rice paper with a pen, dried it, and put it in an envelope.

"Give the letter to Xie San, he knows who to send it to."

Xie Han commanded.

After the housekeeper stepped down, Xie Han hurried to meet Li Mu.

In the study.

After Li Mu came in, Xie Han pointed to the Taishi chair next to him: "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Master Hou." Along the way, Li Mu and Xie Han got acquainted with each other for a while, and when they heard this, they were not polite, and sat down next to Xie Han.

"I have called you today to hear what you think. You have a life-saving grace for me, whether you want to stay in the capital or Liaodongwei, I can help you. ”

After Xie Han finished speaking, he pointed to the teacup in front of him.

"The best Lushan clouds and mist, the sister used orchid incense. You try it, is it a different flavor? ”

Li Mu grew up in Liaodong, which is incompatible with the prosperous land of the capital.

As for tea tasting, he has always been a cow drink, and he can't even tell what kind of tea leaves, let alone the aroma of orchids.

But the only one who is qualified to be called "sister" by the Marquis of Jingping is the queen mother.

Hearing this, Li Mu carefully picked up the teacup on the table, as if holding a precious and fragile treasure, he brought the rim of the cup to his lips and tasted it carefully.

After a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Hou, I live in the grass in my lower body, and I didn't taste any difference in this tea, but I lived up to Lord Hou's heart." ”

Although Xie Han has changed his opinion of Li Mu, he also feels that Li Mu is more responsible than Gu Yan. In the final analysis, he still doesn't look down on Li Mu's family background.

The reason why he took the Lushan clouds and mist made by his sister today was to entertain him, and he also hoped that Li Mu would see the gap between the two people and put away those thoughts that should not be there.

Otherwise, Li Mu will only bring countless troubles to his sister. Unless he never opens his mouth.

But Li Mu has the grace to save his life, Xie Han can't take revenge, so he can only dispel Li Mu's mind by knocking on the side, but fortunately, Li Mu is a smart person.

"Lord Li is polite, the hero doesn't ask where he comes from. Speaking of which, I should make amends to Lord Li, in terms of heart, I am not as good as Lord Li. ”

Xie Han smiled slightly, his voice became clearer and clearer, and even the self-restraint and arrogance between his eyebrows were deliberately restrained, making people feel like a spring breeze.

Hou Ye laughed. Hou Ye is like a god in his soldiers, and his military achievements are great, and he is a model for my generation. ”

Li Mu was willing to risk his life and traveled thousands of miles to Funan to find Xie Han's whereabouts, although the main reason was because of the queen mother in the palace, but Li Mu, as a soldier, has always had respect for a god of war like Jingping Hou.

"Master Li, let's get down to business." Xie Han didn't think that with the relationship between the two of them, they could sit together and drink and talk.

Xie Han simply went straight to the point: "My proposal, please consider it carefully, in short, my Xie family will not treat the benefactor badly." ”

Hearing this, Li Mu quietly lowered his eyelashes, struggled in his heart for a long time, and finally said with a wry smile: "Although the capital is good, it is not a place to stay, Liaodong is the place where it is rooted." ”

This answer was unexpected by Xie Han. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Although he was ashamed of him, from the beginning of the meeting, although Xie Han said it beautifully, if Li Mu had the idea of staying in Beijing, Xie Han would never let his wish come true.

After all, with the importance that my sister attaches to herself, if she knew that Li Mu saved herself, how could she not feel guilty or grateful, if Li Mu had other thoughts, let alone her sister at that time, the entire Xie family would be doomed.

It is better to bully others and nip potential dangers in the bud. In this way, it is good for the Xie family and Li Mu.

But Li Mu chose to let go.

Xie Han's heart was suddenly extremely complicated.

He got up, bowed to Li Mu, and said solemnly: "Master Li is righteous, Xie is ashamed." ”

Not only Xie Han, but also Li Mu, knew that his decision to make this decision meant that he had given up something. From then on, he and the girl in his heart could only look at each other from afar......

Li Mu didn't want Xie Han's thanks, he just hoped that the girl he cherished in his heart could be safe and happy, and be 100 years old.

Li Mu left the seat, he stretched out his arms to help Xie Han up, and there was no trace of reluctance on his face.

Li Mu said: "Master Hou doesn't have to be like this. Do things under it, but ask for a good heart. The low, hoarse voice inexplicably had a lingering taste.

Xie Han got up and sighed lightly in his heart, the hero was sad to pass the beauty pass.

I don't know if Li Mu met his sister, whether it was lucky or unlucky.

Although Xie Han repeatedly said that he did not need the Xie family to repay him, Xie Han still gave Li Mu a position from the third grade, and gave him a hundred taels of gold.

Although Li Mu was just a gesture and couldn't afford such a generous reward from the Xie family, in order to make Jingpinghou feel at ease, and more importantly, to make her feel at ease, he also accepted the Xie family's thanks.

Walking out of the gate of the Hou Mansion, Li Mu looked at the blue sky after the rain, and felt that the sun above his head was a little dazzling.

He narrowed his eyes, hiding the sparkle in his eyes.

Finally looking back at this solemn and gorgeous mansion, Li Mu pulled back sharply, turned on his horse, and galloped away in the direction of the city gate......

The marriage with the Chengjun Palace, Li Mu had already refused before going to Funan. He has other loves in his heart, so why delay other girls.

For the rest of his life, he would never look at the other women again.

Dusk came, and the clouds in the sky were as brilliant as fire.

Li Mu dismounted, let the horse go to the river to graze, and with his back against a big tree, he pulled out the stopper of the wine jug, raised his head, and poured it into his throat with a "clatter".

burned the knife and cut the throat spicily, even so, the dense pain in the heart did not relieve half a point.

Li Mu's sad body spasmed, he slowly sat on the ground, bent one leg to support, and covered his face with the other hand, letting the wetness between his fingers permeate......

The sun is setting, and the heartbroken man is at the end of the world.

……

After Xie Yanhe was woken up, he casually took a few bites of lunch and fell asleep again. When I woke up, it was already evening.

Candles had been lit in the main hall, and Wei Zhao was sitting on the Luohan bed, holding a book in his hand.

Xie Yanhe walked over lightly, covered Wei Zhao's eyes from behind, deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Guess who I am?" ”

Wei Zhao chuckled: "Except for sleeping, I can't think of anyone else who would be so naughty." ”

Xie Yanhe felt bored, walked over to Wei Zhao and sat down, grabbing the man's fingers and playing with them.

"Your Majesty will return to Beijing tomorrow, will you take me back with you?"

"The defeat of the king of Funan is like a mountain, the culprit Duan Yi has been ambushed, and Duan Chen has also been escorted back to Beijing for trial. I went back to reward my deeds. In the affairs of the previous dynasty, the queen did not need to come forward. Wei Zhao said slowly.

"Your Majesty won't take me back, I naturally know what the real reason is." Xie Yanhe's eyebrows furrowed, and he said unhappily: "Prince Er's old ministry will definitely choose to make trouble tomorrow, Your Majesty is afraid that I am in danger." But husband and wife are one, and I naturally want to advance and retreat with my husband,"

"If only you had this heart." Wei Zhao held the book in one hand, and couldn't continue to read it, so he had to hand it to the palace people on the side.

He raised his hand and waved the person back, and when only they were husband and wife left in the hall, Wei Zhao hugged Xie Yanhe into his arms, scratched the tip of Xie Yanhe's nose dotingly, and said softly: "You are a double body now, and you can't afford to miss half a minute." My country is counting on the dragon in your belly. ”

Xie Yanhe unexpectedly insisted.

"Where Your Majesty is, I will be there."

Wei Zhao raised her eyebrows, she didn't expect her determination to be so firm.

Looking at the tight face, he smiled and said, "Obedient." If you go back to Beijing with me, I will be distracted and take care of you. The sword has no eyes, if you are half damaged, I will execute all these rebellious ministers and thieves, and it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. ”

Wei Zhao's words revealed a thick murderous aura.

Xie Yan struggled in his heart.

When Wei Zhao returned to Beijing, although he was under the banner of "Qingjun's side", in the eyes of some foolish and loyal people, he was still in an improper position.

In particular, in order to stabilize the situation, Wei Zhao once went on a killing spree. But after all, the situation was special at the beginning, and Wei Zhao's move was also understandable.

But today is different, those rebellious ministers and thieves, Wei Zhao can kill them quickly, but if he is rashly sentenced to Ling Chi, in the eyes of those literati, Wei Zhao, the monarch, may have a reputation for cruelty.

It is not good to lose the hearts of the people.

Therefore, Xie Yanhe had no choice but to dispel the thoughts in his heart.
