Bai Shuqin glanced at Zhuo Jinxuan, stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is His Royal Highness Zhuo Jinxuan, the third prince!" ”

Mrs. He was taken aback, and hurriedly bent down and saluted, "He Zhang has seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan let her get up and asked, "What's going on?" ”

Mrs. He looked at the door and sobbed quietly, she knew that she shouldn't be so rude in front of the third prince, but she really couldn't restrain her emotions.

The maid looked at Mrs. He distressedly, and replied on her behalf: "The master is crazy, no one will let him in." The doctor that Mrs. found was also driven back by him. ”

Zhuo Jinxuan was thoughtful, except for the stimulation he received the night before, there was nothing abnormal in the other, it was only two days, and he would not go crazy. He knocked on the door, "Lord He, open the door!" ”

He Zhizhou heard Zhuo Jinxuan's voice, his laughter turned into a scream, and he curled up at the foot of the bed, hugging the leg tightly, his face full of horror.

Bai Shuqin patted Zhuo Jinxuan's shoulder, "Let me come!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan nodded and stepped aside. Bai Shuqin didn't knock on the door, and laughed sarcastically: "Don't think that you can protect your wife and children by pretending to be crazy and stupid here!" The pirates have all been caught, including the woman! ”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was silence inside. Bai Shuqin knew that he had guessed correctly, and continued: "You know better than me what will happen to your crimes!" Now you still have a chance, open the door or not, you choose! ”

Zhuo Jinxuan looked at Bai Shuqin appreciatively, his woman was really not simple.

But in a moment, there was a sound of the door opening inside, and He Zhizhou's head was scattered, and he stood in front of the door with his clothes intact, his face was like earth.

Seeing that He Zhizhou was no longer crazy, Mrs. He hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him tightly, crying, "Master, don't scare me, okay?" ”

With tears in his eyes, He Zhizhou said to the maid next to him, "Help Mrs. go back to the room." ”

Mrs. He shook her head desperately and said, "No! Master, I'm not going anywhere! I'm here with you! ”

"Obedient!" He Zhizhou pushed Mrs. He away and asked the maid to help her go quickly.

Mrs. He was unwilling, looked up and saw He Zhizhou's desolate eyes, bit her lip and looked at him reluctantly, and let the maid help her away.

Seeing that Mrs. He had gone away, He Zhizhou knelt in front of Zhuo Jinxuan with a puff, and pleaded with tears in his eyes: "Third prince, please let my wife and children go, everything is my fault, they are innocent!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan sneered: "They are innocent, but the people of Jiangzhou City are not innocent?" ”

He Zhizhou was full of remorse in his heart, and he knew that he was deeply guilty. Now there is only one way to save his wife and children, and that is to die without proof. Thinking of this, he stopped crying and slammed his head against the doorpost.

Zhuo Jinxuan's quick eyes did not let him succeed, grabbed his hands, and pressed him to the ground to prevent him from committing suicide.

Zhuo Jinxuan despised this kind of behavior the most, if it weren't for Bai Shuqin saying that he wanted to ask He Zhizhou if he had a question, he would definitely not stop him. With what he did, it was not a pity to die.

Bai Shuqin squatted down and looked at He Zhizhou pitifully: "Are you really willing to die like this?" Tell me what caused you to collude with that woman. If you tell the truth, I can ask the third prince to ask the emperor for mercy and spare your wife and children. ”

Hearing that he could spare his wife and children, his godless eyes lit up, "What you said is true?" ”

"Don't doubt what she said! You just have to reply to her truthfully! Zhuo Jinxuan saw that he had given up the idea of suicide and let go of his hands.

He Zhizhou got up from the ground and sat on the doorrail, recalling the woman's story.

Since he took office, he has devoted himself to the fight against pirates and wants to restore peace to the city of Jiangzhou. His governance has had some effect, and there are far fewer pirates than in previous years, and people are not panicking when they go to sea. However, all of this came to an abrupt end with the arrival of that woman.

Under the woman's leadership, the pirates became more rampant, and more rogue ruffians joined the ranks of the pirates. All the officers and soldiers he sent were killed by pirates, and the people were panicked for a while.

It was dark that night, and the woman suddenly appeared in his study, and I don't know what trick she used, so that he could not move.

She made a condition to him, as long as he listened to her dispatch, the pirates would no longer harm the people of Jiangzhou, otherwise he would bear the consequences, and he naturally did not agree. The next day the pirates slaughtered a hundred and ten families in the city, and those officers and soldiers were no match for them at all.

"So you agreed to her terms?" Bai Shuqin asked.

He Zhizhou laughed self-deprecatingly, "Yes! I thought she would keep her word, but it was stupid! ”

Bai Shuqin had dealt with the Soulless, even if He Zhizhou did not agree at that time, he was afraid that according to the methods of the Soulless, it would not be impossible to slaughter the city. These officers and soldiers are no match for her at all.

After He Zhizhou finished speaking, he knelt in front of Zhuo Jinxuan again, and said with a sad expression: "Third prince, please also plead with the emperor and spare my wife and children." ”

"Don't worry!" Zhuo Jinxuan helped him up, "Before the holy decree came down, you were still the prefect of Jiangzhou. There are many things to be done in the city, and I want you to be in their place. ”

He Zhizhou was stunned, tears slipped from his eyes, and after a long time, he clenched his fists tightly and said, "The minister obeys the order!" ”

People came and went on the street, and mutual help was best reflected at this time, Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin walked side by side to the barracks.

The barracks are not far from the sea and belong to the outskirts of the city. Because of pirates, as long as the people in the family have moved into the city, only those who have difficulties in the family stay there and escape.

There was no one on the way back, Zhuo Jinxuan and Bai Shuqin walked side by side. Although the sun is shining, the snow is deep and it is colder than usual.

Zhuo Jinxuan held Bai Shuqin's somewhat cold hand, smiled and asked her, "Where did you see that He Zhizhou was pretending to be crazy?" ”

"I've read in books before that this is how some people escaped. Guess it today! Bai Shuqin chuckled.

"You guessed it!" Zhuo Jinxuan cooperated with her and praised her, and then asked her: "You came to him today, do you want me to save him?" ”

Bai Shuqin winked at him, "I just think that in that situation, another person may not necessarily do better than him." You tell me? ”

Zhuo Jinxuan nodded, although his approach was not loyal enough, it was indeed a wise thing to do at the time. They are the only people who know about this matter at present, as long as he doesn't report it, He Zhizhou will not send troops in time at most, and he will only be demoted.

"Now that all the pirates have been arrested, when will you return to Beijing?" Bai Shuqin asked.

Zhuo Jinxuan turned his head to look at her: "When you go back, I will go back when I go." ”

The whereabouts of Helan's family are unknown, and Helan should not be willing to return to Beijing while she is alive. Bai Shuqin looked into the distance, her mother had been trapped in the courtyard for the rest of her life, and she suddenly said with relief: "I want to bury my mother by the sea, and we will go back after settling down." ”

"She's going to love it." Zhuo Jinxuan hugged her shoulders.

"yes, she'll love it."

It was still early when he returned to the barracks, and Bai Shuqin wanted to go to the inn to retrieve Helan's bone box. Zhuo Jinxuan was afraid that she would be tired, but he couldn't bear to refuse, so he asked Du Zijun to prepare the horse, and he accompanied her to go.

The horses in the barracks were all taken out, and only the old horse that Du Zijun rode over last time remained. Bai Shuqin saw that it didn't even have complete teeth, and his face twitched: "Are you sure it can ride?" ”

Du Zijun patted the old horse's back, but said confidently: "Don't look at it like this, it's fast to run!" ”

Zhuo Jinxuan had the same idea as Bai Shuqin, he was afraid that he would be crushed to death if he rode it twice. He looked at Bai Shuqin and discussed, "I think we'll go again tomorrow." ”

Bai Shuqin nodded, Du Zijun sighed, turned over on his horse, and said to them: "Don't believe it, I'll ride it for you..."

Before he had finished speaking, the old horse put down his hind hooves, pulled his legs, and rushed forward. Du Zijun clutched the reins tightly and shouted, "You stinky horse, stop!" Stop! ”

Bai Shuqin waved his hand at Du Zijun's fading back, and finally couldn't help laughing!

Zhuo Jinxuan was also amused by Du Zijun, he patted Bai Shuqin on the shoulder and exclaimed: "Your person is really a genius, a genius!" ”

Bai Shuqin also felt that Du Zijun was a living treasure, although his family was poor, he was born into an optimistic person.

When it was getting dark, Du Zijun tiredly pulled his old horse back, it was stunned to run around the city with it, and then he couldn't leave, he fought for half his life to drag it back.

Beizhu had already prepared tea and was waiting, he poured a pot of tea in a big gulp, and looked at Beizhu with emotion: "Hello sister!" Brother didn't hurt you in vain! ”

Bai Shuqin chuckled and asked him, "In addition to suspecting that she is a goblin, where do you hurt her?" ”

Beizhu covered his mouth and snickered, Du Zijun put down the teacup and said cheekily: "Think about the time when her legs and feet were not good, but I ran up and down every day to bring her food!" This is a great kindness, you will repay me well in the future! ”

Bai Shuqin secretly rolled his eyes, he was really shameless. However, she suddenly thought of something, turned her head and asked Beizhu, "Have you ever healed other people's injuries today?" ”

Beizhu shook her head a little disappointed, she wanted to go out to help those who were injured, but she really didn't have the strength anymore. She thought that maybe she hadn't cultivated, so her spiritual power was limited.

Bai Shuqin breathed a sigh of relief, pulled her to his side, and told her: "Don't save people casually outside, let alone let people know your ability." ”

Beizhu looked at her with some incomprehension, not understanding why she said this.

"The outside world is much more dangerous than you think, and if someone knows what you can do, someone will want to arrest you." Bai Shuqin paused and continued, "It's like they want to arrest me." ”

Beizhu was startled, she knew that they were sacrificing Bai Shuqin and would die. She doesn't want to die yet, she still has a lot of work to do! She hurriedly nodded to Bai Shuqin, "I know." ”

Bai Shuqin rubbed her head with satisfaction and asked her to take Du Zijun over for dinner. Zhuo Jinxuan went over to help Sima Liang deal with things at night, and she was the only one left, so she rested early.

Since the last time she was controlled by the Soulless One, she was able to meet the real Bai Shuqin in her dreams. At this time, Bai Shuqin's soul was no longer trapped in that white room, and was replaced by a paradise-like place.

Seeing Lan Xin coming, Bai Shuqin sat on the banyan tree and beckoned to her. She smiled, flew up the branch and sat down beside Bai Shuqin.

Under the banyan tree is a small stream, and on the other side of the stream is a green meadow dotted with dotted white flowers, and the wind blows like green waves.

"It's such a nice environment here, I want to change with you." The blue-hearted lookout sighed from afar.

Bai Shuqin shook his legs and said calmly: "Thank you." ”

"Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for treating my mother as your own, it makes me feel very warm." Bai Shuqin looked at Lan Xin, if she hadn't appeared, he was afraid that she would still be bullied by them in Baifu now.

Lan Xin glanced at her and smiled, "We're one now, aren't we?" With that, she lay down on the branch of the banyan tree, closed her eyes and felt the silence of the moment.
