"Well," I nodded, "I should say that I just went to find him." The latest free chapters of the book can be found here. ”

The fourth master smiled softly: "What's the matter?" Let's hear it. ”

I was silent, recalling the time when I was about to leave??

It was still a night in September of the fiftieth year of Kangxi. In my small courtyard at the headquarters of the Dark Guard Jingshan.

The thirteenth brother sat in front of me and said with a smile: "Now that the fourth brother is like this, are you satisfied?" ”

I smiled and nodded, and said, "Isn't that how it should be now?" If he can think of this, I can rest assured for the time being. ”

The thirteenth brother frowned and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”

I knew he must have heard me, and smiled and said, "I'm going to go far away." ”

"Where are you going?" The thirteenth brother said a little anxiously: "You want to go?" Where to? How long to go? Do you want to come back? You're not going to leave completely, are you? ”

I was stunned by his words, and then smiled: "Slow down! Why is the reaction so strong? Do I look like I'm going to leave and never come back? ”

"You've always wanted to leave, haven't you?"

I was stunned, yes, from the beginning, I always wanted to leave. From the time I entered the palace in the forty-sixth year, I was ready to leave completely, and I was ready to flee at any time to live quietly in a place where no one knew me. But now, can I still go?

"I want to go."

"You're gone, what should the fourth brother do? What should I do? ”

"It's just the two of you, so I can't go."

The thirteenth brother frowned and said, "Then where are you going?" ”

"Fujian."

"Fujian? There's no going on there, you're going to ...... You're not going to deal with that, are you? What are you doing there as a 'girl' child? ”

I smiled and said, "The turmoil over there was originally just because this year's harvest was not good, and the people did not have enough to eat, but the officials and businessmen colluded to stock grain. At this point, it's not that simple. Otherwise, do you think that just a group of ordinary people have made such a big move for a bite to eat? ”

The thirteenth brother asked puzzledly: "You mean to say that there has been no solution so far, and it is not because of the terrain in the mountains?" ”

I pouted and said, "I can only say that it is one of the reasons." The reasons are also somewhat complicated: first, the terrain in the mountains is complex, and it is difficult for officers and soldiers to overcome even if they are familiar with the terrain; Second, the people who revolted were afraid that they would be punished after going down the mountain, so they did not dare to go down the mountain; And then the most important and troublesome point, some people want to take this opportunity to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore sight! ”

The expression on the face of the thirteenth brother changed instantly because of my words, and he was both worried and a little funny. Speaking of which, when I heard them tell me about Kazekage, my first instinct was to laugh. Now that the people of the Zhu family are dead, who will be the emperor if they oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty?

Sure enough, the thirteenth brother asked the same question: "What do they think?" Not to mention that now that the foundation of the Qing Dynasty is stable, it is really successful, and there is no one in the Zhu family who can be the emperor. ”

I smiled and nodded, "It is rumored that there are a few unfortunate wastes left in the Zheng family." "The Zheng family is actually no one anymore, after Zheng Jing's death, the three Zheng Kexuan brothers are now dead, Zheng Anfu is an unassuming person, the current people in the family, but anyone who is a little promising, most of them are in Japan, and those who are not angry are raised as puppets by these anti-Qing and Ming restoration organizations.

The thirteenth brother shook his head and said, "No matter how you say it, it's too dangerous, I'll go with you." ”

"No! You are now in prison, and no one is allowed to visit you. But this will take at least a month, and those people in your house won't be able to hide it! Besides, if you have anything in the capital, you can help me. If you go with me, what will happen to the whole bunch of things about the secret guard? "He must not go with me, in every sense of the word, not in any way.

"Then don't go!" Brother Thirteen was a little angry, I knew that he was worried about me. To tell you the truth, I'm a 'girl' kid, and I'm still a little scared when I go to that place.

But......

"Don't worry, there are three people around me, and I'll bring Liu Ying with me. Disguise all the way. It's going to be fine. You have to stay in Kyochung. If anything happens, I still need you to be here to answer it. "It's going to be fine, at least that's how I consoled myself.

The Thirteenth Master frowned and thought for a while, and understood that what I said was the truth, he was just worried about me, so he would care about the 'chaos', and seeing that I had made up my mind, he could only nod and say, "Then when will you leave?" ”

"Set out before dawn, lest you have long nights and dreams." Before, I didn't worry about the fourth master, so I didn't leave, but now that the matter has come to this, I can go. I suddenly thought of another thing and asked him: "Who is the current governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Lord Fan?" ”

"Fourth brother's people, what's wrong?"

I thought for a moment and said, "You can find a way to send a message to the fourth brother, so that Lord Fan can use it together, so that many people on the mountain will go down the mountain on their own, and the rest of the things will be much easier." ”

"But, Emperor Amana......"

I know he's going to be worried about this, but I'm not worried, if I'm not mistaken, Master Fan was promoted after that, and he died in fifty-nine years.

"I can't care so much now, besides, I don't think Huang Ama will object. As early as the incident, he said that these people were 'forced' to do so. It's been delayed for half a year, and if it drags on again, it's the end of the year. Huang Ama must also be thinking about dealing with it properly now. ”

The thirteenth brother nodded and said, "I have written down this matter, you must be careful on the road." If there is anything, you must send a letter back as soon as possible. Got it? ”

I nodded in response, and said to him again: "The matter of the secret guard is complicated, you have to deal with it carefully, and you must remember not to favor the fourth brother, so as not to make Huang Ama suspicious." ”

The thirteenth brother is different from me, I know who most of the people that the fourth master will use in the future are, and I probably know when they were convicted for something. The thirteenth brother doesn't know anything, and I'm always worried that he will be biased towards the fourth master intentionally or unintentionally, which will be a bad thing.

He nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Wind Shadow and they are all from you." What else can I do with them? You just have to take care of yourself and don't get hurt! Come back well, got it? ”

The two of us talked and drank wine together, and when the hour came, I changed into men's clothes, Butterfly Seventeen helped me braid my hair into a braid, and I put on my melon skin hat and walked out of the room.

The thirteenth brother looked at me with a smile and said, "It's really like a beautiful son." This time, I'm not worried that you will meet a hooligan or be robbed to be the lady of the village, but I will worry that you won't kidnap the heart of a young lady and owe some inexplicable peach 'flower' debts. ”

I smiled and didn't speak.

He came over and hugged me tightly and said, "Be careful! I only have one sister left, and it's a blessing to have it back. Don't let me lose your ......"

-----------------

"Why don't you speak?" The voice of the fourth master made me turn my senses from my memories. "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

"No, it's just that when I think about the situation at the time, I'm a little distracted."
