"Since you have a heart, I'm afraid I'll be like a resentful husband if I continue to entangle."

Xue Beinian lowered his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "But if your beloved treats you badly, you can come to me at any time." ”

Xue Beinian knew that although the possibility of this happening was almost zero, he still couldn't help but hope and expect.

Even if it's a tiny fraction!

"He treats me with affection like a high bank and a deep valley, like a white water with a heart, and I treat him the same."

When talking about him, her bright eyes were full of affection, and her affection for him was as tender as autumn water.

Suddenly, Rin Ruo turned around and said to Xue Beinian earnestly: "One day, you will find the woman whose eyes are full of you and whose affection is as clear as a stream." ”

Seeing Rin Ruo's determined expression, Xue Beinian's last bit of expectation was also broken.

If she could meet her earlier and show her heart earlier, maybe the person she belongs to at this moment is herself.

Xue Beinian's eyes were full of regret, and his sword eyebrows like a spring mountain also had a faint sorrow.

Since you can't protect her openly, it's good to protect her silently.

Thinking of this, Xue Beinian's heart added a sense of comfort.

"I've been tired of traveling and sleeping on the road, I wonder if Miss Rin Ruo would like me to go in and ask for a cup of tea?"

Xue Beinian swept away his sad face and said to Rin Ruo with a smile.

If you continue to be obsessed, I'm afraid that you won't even be a best friend.

"It's nature." Seeing that Xue Beinian had let go, his frowning brows also relaxed.

She smiled and said, "You have come from afar, no matter what, you should rest here for a while, so that I can express my gratitude." ”

With that, Rin Ruo took Xue Beinian to the City Lord's Mansion.

When the magistrate of a county suddenly came to Jingyang City, he naturally had to visit the city lord first, so as not to cause unnecessary suspicion and disputes.

Everywhere he went, Xue Beinian only felt desolate and desolate. Everywhere there are broken walls and ruins, and all industries are withered.

"Xue County Ya, this is the City Lord's Mansion." Rin Ruo pointed to the gorgeous palace in front of him, and then said, "You go in and sit for a while, and I'll go and see if those potions are boiled first." Excuse me. ”

"Okay, then you can get busy first." Xue Beinian smiled at Rin Ruo in understanding and said.

Subsequently, Xue Beinian stepped into the city lord's mansion.

"City Lord Zhao, I haven't seen you for many years, don't come here unharmed!" After Xue Beinian saw Zhao Hongde, he smiled and raised his hand to salute.

"Oh? Xue County Ya! Why didn't you send someone to inform the city lord in advance when you came? It's also good for the city lord to prepare in advance. ”

After seeing who it was, Zhao Hongde immediately stood up and said with a smile.

City Lord Zhao laughed. How can I, a small county magistrate, be compared to the lord of your city. Xue Beinian also smiled and sat down.

"Come on, don't show tea to Xue County!"

Afterwards, a cup of good rain was carefully served by the servant.

The tea leaves are flat and handsome, smooth and even.

If you taste it carefully, it is even more fragrant, mellow and refreshing.

"What? After the rain, Longjing tea does not enter the eyes of Xue County Ya? As he spoke, Zhao Hongde picked up the tea cup in front of him and said with a smile.

"Also, after the rain, Longjing is naturally not as good as the famous crane mandarin tea in Xue County."

City Lord Zhao laughed. It's just that now Jingyang City is suffering, and there is such a good tea in the mansion of the city lord of Zhao, which is really rare! ”

After speaking, Xue Beinian picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Zhao Hongde naturally heard the deep meaning of Xue Beinian's words, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said: "Now that Xue County has made great achievements, he has also begun to make fun of the lord of this city?" ”

"I'm a small county official, how dare I make fun of Lord Zhao? It's just to see that the city lord of Zhao is idle all day long, and he bears the wind and sleeves for the moon. Those who know think that the city lord of Zhao is diligent in government and serves the people, and those who don't know think that the city lord of Zhao does not care about the life and death of the people. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Hongde's eyes immediately sank a little, and his narrow eyes had a hint of murder.

But soon, his face returned to normal. It seems that the murder that has just flashed is just an illusion.

"Xue County Ya, Brother Huang didn't let you transport medicinal materials and food privately. If you are so bold and reckless, the lord of this city can directly show it to the imperial brother and say that you are disobedient to the decree. ”

Zhao Hongde squinted his eyes and said.

"The emperor can't see millions of corpses lying in wait, bleeding thousands of miles. But don't you see! ”

Hearing this, Xue Beinian was even more furious, and he continued: "The doctors of Jingyang City have died mysteriously, and the medicinal materials have been lost, as the city lord, you have an unshirkable responsibility!" It's funny that you're playing me because of that! ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Hongde immediately burst out laughing.

"Xue Beinian, Xue Beinian, no wonder you are just a county magistrate. Even if you care about the common people and the world, what's the use? ”

"Many things will pass with one eye and one eye closed, you are so careful, when will Heyuan County develop?"

Zhao Hongde seemed to ask rhetorically and mocked. not only laughed at Xue Beinian's immutability, but also laughed at his enthusiasm but was let down.

"Don't tell me, you are responsible for the malaria in Jingyang City!" Hearing Zhao Hongde's voice, Xue Beinian asked angrily.

"Naturally not, why would this city lord do something that is not good for Jingyang City?" Zhao Hongde opened his slightly closed eyes and said provocatively.

"Xue Beinian, your heart will have to be honed for a few more years! Otherwise, you will always be just a little county magistrate! ”

After speaking, Zhao Hongde picked up the tea cup on the side again and took a sip gently.

That action is like sarcasm, and it seems like disdain!

In that year, Xue Beinian won the championship with the excellent result of the first place in Jingyi.

People praised Xue Beinian for his promising, young and promising.

In terms of talent, character, and enthusiasm for the people, Xue Beinian is not inferior to anyone in the court.

But for the selection of the city lord, the emperor finally chose Zhao Hongde, his younger brother.

He is afraid that the country will change hands, so for these key cities, he must hold them firmly in his own hands!

And because Xue Beinian was indignant, he felt that he had no talent, and directly criticized the emperor's injustice in the court.

Subsequently, it was relegated to Heyuan County, and it was from that time that Heyuan County really began to prosper.

Zhao Hongde's words reminded Xue Beinian of the past, and now that he thinks about it again, he has another emotion.

"City Lord Zhao is not worried about my situation, but rather about the situation of Jingyang City."

Xue Beinian smiled smugly: "It would be best if this matter could be handled properly." If not, do you think you can still sit firmly as the lord of the city? ”

After speaking, Xue Beinian put down the teacup in his hand heavily and walked straight out.

Listening to Xue Beinian's words, Zhao Hongde didn't care, and still took care of his own tea.

He wanted to see who would have the last laugh!
