Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen set off early in the morning, and the two jujube red fierce horses galloped through in a silver-white world.

Ye Jiuchen still kept her distance, protecting her behind Leng Yue.

Looking at the cold and slender back on the horse's back, Ye Jiuchen couldn't help but raise his lips and laugh.

Recalling the two men who were stripped naked and hung upside down on a tree on a cold day, Ye Jiuchen finally understood what Leng Yue said before, and it was not the first time.

I think that at the beginning, when Ye Mohan planned to steal the beam and change the pillar, and took the opportunity of marrying Leng Ruoxue to change the bride to Leng Yue, Leng Yue also used this method to fight back.

Whether it is a prince or a ruffian, Leng Yue's means of dealing with them are the same.

In that case, does it mean that in this world, except for himself, all the other men in Leng Yue's eyes are the same.

Only yourself, it's not the same!

Such a thought made Ye Jiuchen's heart feel as if it had been washed by hot spring water, revealing a strong warmth and comfort.

……

The northern border guards the mansion, Zhang Huairen holds a walnut in one hand, a teapot with a thin mouth in the other, and sends it to his mouth from time to time to smack two mouthfuls, dressed in silk satin, and the whole person leans on the wooden chair of yellow rosewood, listening to the report of his subordinates.

"My lord's prophet saw that I sent someone to take over the inn in advance, and now every move of the prince and the king of what huan is already under the control of my lord."

Liu Zhou is Zhang Huairen's military advisor, although he has a brain, but in comparison, compared to his kung fu, it is so much worse.

And Zhang Huairen listened to Liu Zhou's flattery, so he was naturally very useful and squinted his eyes.

"As an official, it is natural to worry about the country and the king.

What the emperor wants, we have to give him something, you are the adult of your family, how did you go from a small county to this position in the north now? ”

"Yes, yes, my subordinates also learned the real way of being an official after following the adults."

"Humph!"

Zhang Huairen snorted twice from his nostrils very arrogantly, slowly stood up, and walked to the birdcage hanging at the door.

The canaries in the birdcage are chirping non-stop.

"My lord, it's just that there is something in my subordinates, and some of them don't understand."

"What's the matter?"

Zhang Huairen seemed to be in a very good mood today, so when he heard Liu Zhou's words, he couldn't help but ask.

Although Liu Zhou is good at observing words and flattery, it is precisely because of this that he dares to ask this question at this time.

"Since your lord has already said that the northern border is just a mob riot, and the court and the emperor have always believed in your lordship, why should your lord turn a blind eye to that Liu Bin's performance, and just acquiesce in it?"

After all, if Liu Bin's excerpt didn't come to Jiang Xinglie, Jiang Xinglie wouldn't have sent Ye Jiuchen, Leng Yue, and Jiang Tingbai to the north to find out.

Therefore, in Liu Zhou's view, Zhang Huairen's move is completely harmful to others and himself.

Liu Zhou has been thinking about this question for several days, but he can't think of any results, so when Zhang Huairen is in a very good mood today, he can't help but ask.

What Liu Zhou didn't expect was that after Zhang Huairen heard Liu Zhou's words, the expression on his face became more and more proud.

"You know what?"

Zhang Huairen glanced at Liu Zhou and continued to tease the bird plate walnuts.

"For so many years, the north has been safe and ignored, well, how can there be riots?

Even if I play it to the imperial court, do you think the emperor's old fox will believe it?

Simply, let him doubt himself, send someone to investigate, it is better to send the ready-made ones up. When the time comes, and when it is found, the official can also have countless reasons to rationalize this matter, and the emperor is angry when he is angry, but at most he will punish me for the crime of concealment, and deduct the money or something.

Is this official a little bit of money? ”

"I see, my lord is wise!"

Liu Zhou understood Zhang Huairen's words, and immediately started the magic of patting the sycophants, and spared no effort to slap it.

Zhang Huairen was still very useful, squinting his eyes and grinning at the corners of his mouth.

"By the way, what's wrong with that Liu Bin?"

"If you go back to your lordship, you're still in prison, waiting for your lordship."

"Well, let it go for now, and wait for the people from the court to come over.

Fortunately, the emperor sent the crown prince and the prince this time, both of whom are masters who can't endure hardship, and the official heard that this king Huan, who suddenly came out of nowhere, seems to be the emperor's illegitimate son. ”

Zhang Huairen said this, and Liu Zhou couldn't help but be stunned.

"What do you mean?"

"This official can't, stay in this northern border for the rest of your life."

Zhang Huairen has always felt that Lin'an is the place where he can show his strengths, and this time the arrival of Jiang Tingbai and Ye Jiuchen is the best opportunity!

Liu Zhou was a little shocked when he heard this.

Although he knew that Zhang Huairen could climb from a small county to the northern border to guard this position, he did have some means and skills, but the northern mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and Zhang Huairen was safe to do, but if he arrived in Lin'an, the fish and dragons were mixed, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, would Zhang Huairen still be able to cover the sky with such a single hand?

Thinking about it, Liu Zhou's face couldn't help but become a little strange.

"What? Worried about your brother? ”

Suddenly, Zhang Huairen opened his mouth and asked Liu Zhou nonchalantly.

Liu Zhou hurriedly became stunned when he heard this, and bowed towards Zhang Huairen with a solemn and reverent expression.

"My lord Mingjian, although Liu Bin and I are brothers, we have long parted ways because of disagreements, and now he has annoyed adults, and he is innocent.

When the time comes, I will send him an end, do a French style, and not be in vain brothers, and it will be the end of benevolence and righteousness. ”

Liu Zhou said something serious, his tone and expression were sincere to a certain extent, but Zhang Huairen only smiled faintly.

Afraid that Zhang Huairen would still doubt himself, Liu Zhou continued to express his attitude.

"My lord, although my subordinates and Liu Bin were born to the same father, but my mother is different, and since my subordinates have followed my lord, I have received countless favors from my lords, and my subordinates are better than my parents to my subordinates, how can my subordinates feel sorry for that concubine?

The hearts of subordinates to adults, the sun and the moon can be seen, the mountains and rivers can be expressed, and the adults are also invited! ”

Liu Bin's words were straight and round, and his voice was loud, for fear that Zhang Huairen would not believe it, Zhang Huairen listened, suddenly laughed loudly, raised his hand and patted Liu Zhou's shoulder.

"Master Liu, do you know what this official admires most about you?"

The smile on Liu Zhou's face was a little stiff.

"Good birds choose trees to perch, those who know the times are handsome, and what this official appreciates the most is that you are for yourself, and you have a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs and a heart of stone, like this official.

Ha ha! ”

Liu Zhou: "......"

You're wolf-hearted and hard-hearted!

Liu Zhou sold criticism in his heart, but he could only smile on his face.

"Yes, yes, what your lord said!"

Zhang Huairen smiled: "Okay, it is estimated that our Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the King Huan will arrive in the north in a few days, you go and prepare well, what they want to see, they will prepare for them, understand?" ”

"Yes! Subordinates understand. ”

……

Two days later.

Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen hardly rested, except for scribbling a night in the inn at night, and letting the horses rest, there was almost no pause, and the horses hurriedly whipped up, and finally arrived in the northern territory on the third day after departure.

There are four provinces in the north, and the provincial capital is Jinyang, which is where Zhang Huairen's capital is located.

Leng Yue and Ye Jiuchen arrived in Jinyang, led the horse and walked on the street, looking at the prosperous and peaceful scene in Jinyang City, Ye Jiuchen's sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, but soon, they stretched out again.

Leng Yue noticed Ye Jiuchen's abnormality, and it was rare for her to ask for the first time.

"How?"

Ye Jiuchen couldn't help but purse his lips and smile when he heard this.

"It's nothing, just thinking that there is such a tranquility under the plague, but it makes people doubt the two folds I saw before.

But when I think about it, it's not hard to figure it out. ”

Of course, it's not hard to figure it out.

What kind of bad guy is that, since he can place people in the inn outside Lin'an City to keep an eye on them, why can't he arrange a peaceful and prosperous scene before they arrive?

It's just that......

"Fake, fake after all!"

Under the real peaceful and prosperous world, how can there be such a thick and indissolvable gloomy mist on the faces of pedestrians?

Ye Jiuchen's dark and deep eyes like an eagle couldn't help but condense, his eyes kept moving in Jinyang City, and for a moment, he nodded heavily.

"Yes, it's fake, it's fake after all."

Leng Yue turned her eyes to look at Ye Jiuchen: "So, what should we do first?" I listen to you. ”

Leng Yue knew that for that Zhang Huairen, Ye Jiuchen must be full of hatred in her heart, but unfortunately, her little demon is a person who cares about the people, so it is inevitable that she must first figure out the matter of the plague.

It's just that in this situation, they know almost nothing about the epidemic.

After a pause, Ye Jiuchen opened his mouth and said, "Go find Liu Bin, the prefect of Jinyang, first." ”

When Leng Yue heard this, she couldn't help but nodded.

"I guess I can't find it."

Ye Jiuchen was stunned.

"What did you say?"

Leng Yueqing had an expressionless face and replied calmly: "If I guessed correctly, that Liu Bin is probably either in prison now, or imprisoned by that Zhang Huairen." ”

Leng Yue said casually, but Ye Jiuchen's angular face was overcast in an instant, as if a storm was about to come.

But it was only for a moment, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a cold, slanting, but dangerous arc.

"Really, it was a bit of a surprise to me."

Leng Yue didn't answer Ye Jiuchen's words, but just looked around calmly, as if she was looking for something.

After a moment, Leng Yue's eyes froze, and then he raised his hand and pointed in the direction not far away, and said to Ye Jiuchen,

"Let's go."

After that, he led the horse directly and walked forward.

Ye Jiuchen looked in the direction Leng Yue walked, only to find that what she went to was not an inn restaurant, but a teahouse.
