After the summer in the capital, the weather is getting hotter and hotter day by day, the cicadas and crickets chirp one after another, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the sound of the night breeze blowing through the treetops is particularly clear.

When Zhao Yuanzhi came out of the Great Interior, it was already past the hour, there was a little eunuch in front of him to give him a careful palm lamp to light the way, and Li Tong next to him gave him the cloak and dropped it on his shoulder, he is now the head of the cabinet, and many national affairs are waiting for him to decide, and there can be no mistakes.

Out of the palace gate, there are guards who want to personally send him back to the house, which is the pomp he should have now.

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the young man standing quietly outside the palace gate, he straightened his sleeves, took a deep breath, walked towards him, and waved his hand to signal that no one was allowed to follow.

He is now at the helm of the cabinet, and few people dare to disobey him, even if he really sits on the throne that he collaborates with the enemy and betrays the country, these people only dare to wait and see, since he degraded the imperial history of his corruption out of Beijing, and arranged for people to pretend to be bandits and kill the whole family on the way, no one dares to beak in the government.

He doesn't like to talk well now, the more he talks about those people, the more he thinks he can handle you, he is more ruthless now, and it is difficult to endure it, anyway, no matter what, someone will keep making trouble for him.

Under the clean moonlight, Yang Baoyuan let the breeze blow on his face, and he was waiting for Zhao Yuanzhi.

Looking at Zhao Yuanzhi who came over, Yang Baodai smiled heartily with her hands behind her back, and her tone was not as deferential and enthusiastic as before, but a little more cold: "Zhao Ge is a good person, and he can actually coax the saint to send you out safely." "He doesn't think of this person as his brother-in-law at all.

As his words fell, Zhao Yuanzhi also walked in front of him, and raised his hand to slap him in the face, very hard, as if it had been brewing for a long time.

Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes looked at his brother-in-law like ice, and said meaningfully: "You can frame me with Gui'er's hand!" Where did you put your child?! "Compared with him setting up a life and death situation for himself, he is even more angry that this bastard is taking advantage of Zhang Guier's simple feelings for him!

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at him and looked at himself with a very cold look, his eyes narrowed, and his tone was even more awe-inspiring: "I worked hard to teach you, just let you do these unseemly things?" "Dare to play yin for him.

He did spend a lot of effort to cultivate Yang Baoyuan, found him the great Confucian who brought out the most scholars in the capital to be his master, and invited the old man of the Hanlin Academy to be his master, and also asked Luo Xuan to teach him the things and doorways of the military camp, and even gave him a lot of rights to squander and use, so that he already had his own reputation before he entered the officialdom, even if his peers were more talented than him, they were dwarfed in front of him. He paved the way for his career.

This man is really good, and he dares to set fire to the roof of his house!

Half of Yang Baoyuan's face was numb, he turned his head and smiled, he has done a lot of bastard things over the years, even if Zhao Yuanzhi is in a hurry, he will hit him a few times with a board or reprimand a few words, if it is a catastrophe, he will just throw him into Luo Xuanxue's military camp to sit as a leader, and he will clean up the aftermath for him in the capital.

This kind of slap is the first time for him, but since he is here, he is ready.

"Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a big crime for the Nine Clans, do you understand?" Zhao Yuanzhi's voice was extremely cold, his face turned a little pale, he looked at his brother-in-law who was looking at him, and lowered his voice: "Even if your sister reconciles with me, people outside will be involved, and Sheng Heng will be killed at that time, Yang Baoyuan, what are you thinking in your head?" What did you do with what I had worked so hard to teach you?······ How? Do you really think that when they say you can fight me, you are self-righteous? ”

How did Zhao Yuanzhi not know that people outside privately called this person Xiao Yuanzhi, saying that if he Zhao Yuanzhi was an old fox, this person would be a wolf cub.

Looking at Zhao Yuan's increasingly indifferent eyes, Yang Baoyuan's eyes also became ruthless, and his tone was cold: "Since Elder Zhao Ge came out of Da Nei safely, he was naturally preserved. He lowered his eyes slightly, and after a while, he opened his eyes and looked at the indifferent Zhao Yuanzhi in front of him, and his voice suddenly became stern: "You are sorry for my second sister, these are the retribution you deserve." ”

The two men faced each other, and for a moment fell into a dead silence.

Yang Baoyuan looked at Zhao Yuanzhi directly, and said with a chuckle for a long time: "I know that I am not your opponent, I am here, if you want to kill, come on." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi held his breath in his heart, turned his head away from looking at Yang Baoyuan, and then spoke, "I can guess who are the forces that let you murder me, you had better get out of it as soon as possible." ”

Yang Baoyuan did not speak.

"I've always taught you that people outside can use trampling and killing as much as you want, but people inside are not allowed to move their fingers, and you have no sense of proportion." Zhao Yuanzhi rarely became aggressive, looked at Yang Baoyuan for a long time, and told him: "I will let you go this time, if there is a next time, the consequences will be weighed by yourself." ”

He brought this kid out, and he didn't know what would happen in the future, but now, this man's wolf tail was still dragged by him.

Zhao Yuanzhi did carry a big heel this time, the letter confirmed that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and the person with a heart was labeled as a rebel, and the way he can take everyone out now is to prove his loyalty to the court with practical actions.

He's going to the northwest.

He had to use the great victory in the Northwest War to make his position clear.

He was also a person who had added blood to the knife, and he was not too afraid.

It's just that he is now very concerned about her wife and children, and is preparing for a peaceful life for a while.

I didn't expect to be put in the backyard of someone.

And, everything was designed by the little cub in front of him.

Zhao Yuanzhi was reluctant to kill Yang Baoyuan, he straightened his clothes, and warned him five times: "It's good, I can't wipe your fart now." "This person has calculated all the things that can wipe his ass and shares in this game, others are injured by 1,000 enemies and 800 self-losses, and he is injured by 1,000 enemies.

It is useless to say more now.

Zhao Yuanzhi asked Yang Baoyuan, "Your second sister, mother and son are safe." "No matter what, I should have given birth.

Yang Baoyuan pretended not to hear this, he felt that Zhao Yuanzhi was not worthy of knowing this.

Zhao Yuanzhi saw that his mouth was tighter than a mussel shell, and it was rare to talk to her, he was afraid that he was talking to him more, and he was impatient, so he really dealt with this lawless and reckless wolf cub.

He has a way to clean him up, no, he doesn't need to make a move this time, and retribution will take the initiative to find him.

The night breeze blew, Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the thin clothes of his brother-in-law, although it was a midsummer night, the cool breeze came, it was still a little cold, she untied the cloak on her body and threw it on his face, and said coldly: "Go back, don't let your sister worry, I have run out less recently, I know how to unload your leg at a time." ”

He's going to have to wipe this guy's ass this time. He felt that he was a rare wrongdoer.

Zhao Yuanzhi turned around and got into the sedan chair, he sat inside and closed his eyes slightly, and quickly connected the ins and outs of this matter, this Yang Baoyuan is estimated to be screwed together with the Qing faction who wanted to drag him off the horse, he opened his eyes, and there was a trace of killing intent in his eyes, and he couldn't stay after seeing those few people, and said that he would not kill his children for the time being.

Count him, this man is still a little tender.

However, this game is still well set up.

There is his style.

Under the moonlight, Yang Baoyuan quietly looked at the cloak in his hand.

In fact, he is different from Zhao Yuanzhi, he is much more ruthless than him.

He knows what Zhao Yuanzhi's weakness is, but he must start planning for his future, Yang Baodai has reconciled with him, he can't use Zhao Yuanzhi's power in the future, although Sheng Heng's brother-in-law is very good, it is estimated that he will be a representative of the Qing school, and if he wants to glorify the Yang family, he will have to use some means.

It was already time to return to the alley, Zhao Yuanzhi got off the sedan chair, looked at the two lanterns with the word Zhao written on them at the door of the mansion, and stood quietly for a while, and the people who came with him had already taken away the people guarding the gate of his mansion.

Mu Changping and Zhang Gui'er were waiting for his news in the shadow wall, and when they saw Zhao Yuanzhi coming in, they all greeted him.

Zhao Yuanzhi instructed Li Ming: "You go and call Luo Xuanxue." After a pause, he raised his hand and touched Zhang Gui'er's swollen eyes from crying, and comforted him: "I'm fine, it's late, you go back to rest first." He motioned for Yan to come over and help the person away.

Mu Changping saw Zhao Yuanzhi like this, and knew that something was probably wrong, so he hurriedly followed him into the main hall.

Zhao Yuanzhi sat down and drank a sip of hot tea, rested on the chair for a while, and then explained to him: "I may have to leave the capital for a while, I have to go to the northwest in person, and Luo Xuanxue has to go." ”

"What's so powerful about that wolf cub? Forced you out of the capital? Mu Changping's face was very ugly, Zhao Yuanzhi was a scholar, even if he had been a bandit before, this was thrown into the wolf pack on the battlefield in full swing in the northwest.

Zhao Yuanzhi pinched the teacup for a long time before nodding, and his tone was still a little praised: "He is a powerful character." ”

Mu Changping wanted to beat him, but he was still laughing and groaning here after playing with him.

Zhao Yuanzhi refilled himself with a cup of tea, he hadn't said so much in front of the emperor for a long time, "But someone has to hit it off with him, don't have a face that goes to the grave for me, the matter has not yet been touched by me to the extent that I must go, but I have already taken the initiative to ask for my life, I just had a secret conversation with His Majesty in the imperial study, I only told you." ”

Mu Changping sat next to him and said without thinking, "I'll go with you." "Zhao Yuanzhi's kung fu is also acceptable, but the battlefield is not a joke, this Yang Baoyuan is really crazy, and he actually dares to put Zhao Yuanzhi to death.

Zhao Yuanzhi shook his head and vetoed this proposal: "You will stay in the capital." He had to leave a trusted arm in the capital to help him pay attention to the situation in the capital, he pursed his lips, and said: "Also, Sheng Heng is a person who does things with a passionate temperament, you remember to mention it more, if it is useless, Gonggong Wei of the ceremonial supervisor and I have a good personal relationship, you can send a message to him to deduct the fold." ”

Mu Changping's eyes were a little complicated: "Zhao Yuanzhen-"

"By the way, Gui'er, you have to pay more attention to it." Zhao Yuanzhi got up and brushed his sleeves and patted Mu Changping's shoulder: "You should go back too, otherwise your father will worry about you." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi went towards Zhu's courtyard.

The door creaked open, and a guard came out and told him, "The old lady has a day of heat stroke." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yuanzhi said: "Before the lady came back, everything in the mansion was up to Gui'er, as long as the old lady still kept her breath, she didn't have to worry about the rest." ”

He also said that he would take a look at Zhu at the end.

Where is the battlefield, God knows if he will not come back.

***

In the Sheng Mansion.

Yang Baodai insisted on leaving for Qinghua Town before the autumn came, and the outside had already begun to pack up, Zhao Yuanzhi had not come to disturb recently, Yang Baodai felt that it was because he knew that he had given birth to a daughter, so he gave up coming to her to snatch the child.

She held her daughter as the main shelf bed and shook the rattle to coax her, this child doesn't like to sleep very much, so he likes to watch with round eyes.

Tomorrow is about to leave, Yang Baomei is looking forward to the things to bring back to Yang Baodai, and when he walked into the house, he said: "I have already sent a letter to the Liu family, someone at the other end of the small courtyard we bought in the town will pick it up, I will go to see you after a while, I have prepared enough money for you, and it is the most important thing to take good care of your body." ”

Yang Baodai just nodded: "It's like we won't meet in the future." ”

Yang Baomei scratched her sister's nose and looked at her little niece: "Hey, why don't I have the luck to give birth to such a beautiful girl." ”

Yang Tofu just pulled Hua En in, and the little girl listened to her mother's words, so she snorted: "My aunt is better looking than my mother, so my sister is more beautiful than me!" ”

A room full of laughter was made by this child's words.

After breakfast the next day, Yang Baodai set off, Yang Baomei checked back and forth three times, and alerted every Xiao Si guard again, and gave Sheng Heng's handwritten letter to Mama Sun: "You take this thing well, and it will be convenient for officials along the way." She said reluctantly hugging Yang Baomei: "Write to me when you arrive, you know, I will go to you in Dongyue at the latest, and I will accompany you to celebrate the New Year in Qinghua Town as soon as you arrive." ”

Yang Baodai nodded: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come back for the New Year." ”

She sat in the carriage, watched Grandma Sun hugging Sister Chun, lifted the carriage curtain and finally looked at the scenery of the capital, and couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, this is where she lived for four years, and I don't know if the next time I come back will be that year.

Chao Chao handed the brewed tea to Yang Baodai, and asked: "Didn't you say that you take the water route, why do you still take the land route." ”

Originally, Yang Baodai wanted to leave her in the Sheng family and let Yang Baomei arrange a good family for her, but this girl pulled Yang Baodai to cry and make trouble, and she had to take it with her.

The return trip was all arranged by Yang Baoyuan, and Yang Baodai was not very clear, but just set off according to his instructions.

Yang Baodai took the tea and took a sip, then said with a smile: "Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, it's good to look at the scenery along the road, what about the Baoyuan people?" ”

Xiao Si, the guard escorting outside, said that Yang Baoyuan still has some things, and he will catch up later.

In fact, Yang Baoyuan was very jealous that Zhao Yuanzhi would kill and rob people, so he arranged two routes, he wanted to take Yang Tofu and last night by waterway to the front dock first, Yang Baodai was to travel lightly in the morning, take the pipeline safety insurance, and go to the place where Huihe will be able to go at night, and then go back to Qinghua Town by waterway together.

The carriage quickly left the imperial city, and when it came to the suburbs, Yang Baodai told the carriage to slow down, and she opened the carriage curtain to look at the flowers and trees on both sides.

Mama Sun looked at Yang Baodai worriedly, and said, "Madame is not out of confinement yet, don't look at it, beware of catching a cold." ”

Yang Baodai was very interested, she had been in Shengheng for almost two months, and she had long been unable to hold back, she shook her head and said with a smile: "My body is very good, and it is not in the way." She was a little relieved that Zhang Gui'er couldn't get to her, and then smiled, it's okay, wait until she arrives in Qinghua Town and write to her, if she is still willing to follow her, come to Qinghua Town to find her, Qinghua Town is quiet and comfortable, Zhang Guier should like it.

Suddenly there was a rapid sound of horses' hooves behind her, and Yang Baodai hurriedly got off the curtain of the carriage and ordered outside: "Let them pass first." ”

Mama Sun was busy covering the ears of Sister Chun, who was gnawing her hands, for fear of scaring the child, and the doll either didn't cry, but cried and died.

But there was a sudden noisy sound outside, and Chao Chao hurriedly put down the things in his hand and got out of the car to check, and took Sheng Heng's handwritten book by the way.

Chaochao got off the carriage and looked at Zhao Yuanzhi who came in the dust.

Zhao Yuanzhi was originally not sure that this was Yang Baodai's carriage and horse, but when he looked at Chaochao, he immediately turned over and dismounted, and let the guards who came with him block the way of the carriage, and he stepped forward and shouted at the carriage: "Baodai, I am Yuanzhen." ”

Inside the carriage, Yang Baodai listened to the familiar voice outside, and her clear eyes were slightly stunned.

Zhao Yuanzhi, why is he here!

She motioned to Grandma Sun to hug Sister Chun.

Outside the carriage, Zhao Yuanzhi took a breath, looked at Chaochao, who stretched out his hand to block him, and did not make any unusual moves, but said patiently: "Bao Dai, can you let me see if you can say two words?" ”

He is about to go to the northwest, let Yang Baodai stay in the capital, he can't protect him all the time, return to Qinghua Town, where is cleaner than the capital, there is no deception, and it is a good place to rest temporarily.

Yesterday, his secret guard said that Yang Baodai would leave by water, and Zhao Yuanzhi instantly saw through Yang Baoyuan's voice, and took people from the capital to leave by water at night.

Originally, he was still talking to the emperor in the imperial study today, and when he was resting, he received a carriage from the Sheng family to see the secret guard who left from the alley.

He knew that Yang Baodai might leave, but he didn't expect that this person would not stay in the capital even after confinement.

Zhao Yuanzhi originally thought that before he went to the northwest, he would use any means to see her.

Listening to the guard's words, he immediately chased people out of the palace with people.

Fortunately, I finally caught up.

"Bao Dai, I said, the letter of separation is not my will, you are still my wife, this will not change, I have already sent someone to get our marriage letter in Fuzhou, as long as I live, you will still be my wife." Zhao Yuanzhi listened to the sound in the carriage and felt a little uncomfortable, so he said, "Bao Dai, I'm going to the battlefield." ”

Yang Baodai in the carriage originally closed her eyes and asked herself not to pay attention to Zhao Yuanzhi, but when she heard this, she suddenly raised her eyelids.

What battlefield did he go to as a good civilian official.

"I didn't lie to you, I'm really going, I don't know if I'll come back alive, I just want to take a look at you."

Outside, Zhao Yuanzhi's tone was pleading, "Bao Dai, let me take a look at you and the child before I leave." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi looked up at the silent carriage, took two steps forward, his voice was louder, and pleaded cautiously: "Bao Dai, just a glance, let me watch you do well, okay?" ”

After coming over for a long time, the carriage door was pushed open, and Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes lit up.

It was Mama Sun who walked down with Sister Chun in her arms.

Mama Sun hugged the child to greet him, and said, "Madame has given birth to a sister, young master take a look." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi looked at the little baby who hugged him, and almost didn't kneel down on the pair of eyes that looked like Yang Baodai, this is his daughter, more beautiful than he imagined, he raised his hand to pick up the doll, kissed his daughter's forehead, looked at the golden melon bracelet hanging on his daughter's hand, he stretched out his hand, Sister Chun had already grabbed his fingers, and made a gesture to put it in his mouth.

Zhao Yuanzhi's eyes almost burst into tears, he couldn't speak clearly when he hugged his daughter, this was his blood and bones, the crystallization of him and Yang Baodai, he seemed to be holding a unique treasure in the world.

His excited mood slowly calmed down, and he raised his hand to put a piece of jade lock that he had recently carried with him from his arms to put on the child, which was the jade material he personally found, and also found the best workers to carve it, writing peace on one side and joy on the other, and the rope was still made by his own hands.

"Young master, we are still in a hurry." Grandma Sun motioned for him to return the child.

Zhao Yuanzhi reluctantly kissed the child's cheek, carefully handed the child to Grandma Sun, and faced the carriageway, "Bao Dai, let me see if you are okay"

He was responded to by a silent rejection.

Mama Sun got into the car with the child in her arms, and said to Chao: "Young master, let your people get out of the way." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi raised his hand.

As long as he knew that she was still a child, he was content.

On the carriage, Chao Chao opened the curtain, looked at Zhao Yuanzhi who was striding behind, retracted his gaze, and whispered to Yang Baodai, "Madame, really don't look at the young master again, the young master is much thinner than before." ”

"I've been reconciled with him." Yang Baodai hugged the child, touched the white jade lock she was holding, and touched the beautiful words on it with her fingertips, "The child is also his, so he can see it, and I have nothing to do with him." ”

Zhao Yuanzhi chased for a long distance, and finally looked at the carriage that slowly turned into the size of beans, he felt hazy in front of him, raised his hand and touched it, his face was full of tears.

He'll come back from the Northwest alive, he'll go find her.

Bao Dai, you have to be good with the child.

Waiting for me to pick you up and take you home.

The guards behind followed with the horse, Zhao Yuanzhi had already wiped the tears from his face, he turned over on the horse, looked at the convoy that had disappeared in his eyes, pulled the reins and said, "Let's go, go back to Beijing." ”
