Shen Linglong rarely eats sugar.

Even if her monthly income is almost useless now, Shen Linglong still won't buy these things that she desires.

She has saved money, and in the future, she will set up a tablet for her mother.

Jiang Tingye held the things in his hand like this, and the aroma of fried sugar could be smelled through the kraft bag.

How long Shen Linglong was silent, and how long Jiang Tingye was like this, the two of them realized that now, he rarely has such patience.

Shen Linglong finally took it.

The moment she stretched out her hand, Jiang Tingye stretched his eyebrows and smiled, he rarely smiled so purely, at least Shen Linglong had only seen him occasionally when he was talking to Jiang Xuan, if this arrogant and domineering Jiang Gongzi could always talk like this, Shen Linglong felt that he would not be as difficult to get along with him as he was now.

The fried sugar has a unique burnt aroma, biting it in the mouth and rattling, Shen Linglong has a special place in her mouth and eats it very slowly, she has a special place to live in the village, and she will not go back for a few days, but Jiang Tingye is different, he came all the way over, and he has to go back to the city after a long time, this toss back and forth, just to bring himself a bag of sugar?

She didn't dare to ask, as long as the questions hidden in her heart didn't ask, no one would know what she was thinking about her feelings.

Jiang Tingye couldn't bear to be silent, seeing that she was so unhappy to even eat a candy, he reached out and grabbed a few from the bag that Shen Linglong was holding, threw them into his mouth and chewed them with a clatter, chewing so that Shen Linglong looked at him sideways, and he smiled at her quite proudly.

Shen Linglong felt that most of the time, Jiang Tingye was so naïve to himself that he didn't seem to be treating the girl he liked, although he himself emphasized it again and again, more like treating a playmate who had to be divided into high and low playmates when he played as a child.

"How long do you have to finish this?" Jiang Tingye doesn't seem to like candy very much, but his dislike is obviously different from Shen Linglong, just like that, he just couldn't see Shen Linglong even eating candy carefully, knowing that she didn't like to listen to her own logic, so she simply ate it to her, and then she couldn't hold back and asked her, "Those beauties in the house have been blocking me very well recently, did you tell them?" ”

Jiang Tingye remembered that he had actually come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, and when he talked about those beauties, his brows furrowed again, and without waiting for Shen Linglong to answer, he said to himself: "They are annoyed to death." ”

Listening to the tone, he didn't want to hear Shen Linglong admit or deny it, he knew it in his heart, but he didn't want to blame Shen Linglong, and he had a bit of a slap raised high but fell gently.

If it was really Shen Linglong who said it, then she would definitely not speak at this time.

But this thing... It's not really what she said.

Even if she has a little temper with Jiang Tingye again, she can handle this kind of thing, how can she have any intersection with those Dongshu beauties? Even if you want to say it, of course, it is in the opposite direction.

The candy in Shen Linglong's mouth had just finished eating, she folded the paper bag carefully, considered it, and said in a deep voice: "I have never had any contact with Dongshu Beauty, let alone inform the whereabouts of the son, is there someone in the Prime Minister's Mansion who should not be mixed in?" ”

actually concealed it from Ming Yuechen.

also hid Jiang Tingye.

On this trip to the Great Jin Dynasty, Dongshu probably also sent a master of Ouchi to go with him, but these people were hidden by Xuan Jin early in the morning, and they entered the city in advance in other ways, without showing their faces in the open.

What Dongshu's intentions were, it instantly aroused the hairs behind Jiang Tingye.

He sat up sharply, a complex expression of caution and violence on his face.

He thought it was just Shen Linglong's prank.

But Shen Linglong told him seriously that there was no such thing, she was focused on the things explained by the prime minister, and before leaving, she was just concentrating on preparation.

It may be that Jiang Tingye and Ming Yuechen are too big for themselves, and his mind was interrupted by the pull of the group of Dongshu beauties, forcing him to be upset all day long, and he has no time to pay attention to other places.

And Ming Yuechen went even deeper, he hadn't left his side room for a long time, he went to Jiang Yu from time to time to get books, and he had to see the scene that the two beautiful men were looking forward to, it couldn't be said that his eyes didn't hurt.

No one expected that Dongshu would have such guts, and he really dared to stuff some people in the prime minister's mansion and privately arrange for masters to supervise the prime minister's actions, which was enough for Dajin to ask Dongshu for his guilt.

Of course, only if they catch these people.

This is not as simple as catching a small Tao Yuan in the palace at the beginning.

"Got dirty stuff in there." The various expressions on Jiang Tingye's face quickly returned to a pool of calm lake water, as if the turbulence just now had been precipitated to the bottom of a deeper lake, he raised his hand and rubbed Shen Linglong's head, and his voice was very soft, "Good job, Shen Linglong." ”

I don't know whether to praise her for doing a good job in teaching the book, or praise her for reminding herself, bravely and decisively saying her conjectures that she did a good job.

It seemed that Shen Linglong could see the situation more clearly than he imagined.

She was not afraid of offending Dongshu's envoys, and she knew where she should always stand.

She's fine.

Jiang Tingye had only such a sentence left in his mind.

Jiang Tingye has rubbed her head many times, this is the first time that Shen Linglong feels uncomfortable, and even has a comfortable feeling of being straightened out, when Jiang Tingye praises people from the bottom of his heart, his tone becomes softer, which is completely different from the sharp stinging feeling when he bluntly imposed his own views on her before.

Shen Linglong likes this kind of compliment very much, and she also likes this bag of candy.

She put the uneaten candy in the small box she brought aside, and then followed Jiang Tingye's pace of walking out, and the two of them went all the way to a more open lawn, where someone was guarding Jiang Tingye's horse so that it could eat some grass to replenish its strength.

As soon as Jiang Tingye passed, he naturally took the reins and raised his hand to stroke its mane: "I'm going back." ”

Shen Linglong stood not far behind him, as if she had come to see him off with due diligence.

Jiang Tingye looked back at her: "You haven't answered me yet, when will you come back?" ”

Shen Linglong stood in the sun, wearing a newly made maid costume quite a bit of the brocade style worn by Jiang Yu, probably the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is the only one, this dress is very good-looking, it can not only modify Shen Linglong's capable figure, but also add a bit of heroism to her eyebrows, lining her with the sun, confident and calm eyes all the way into Jiang Tingye's heart.

He suddenly felt that such a Shen Linglong might be the Shen Linglong who attracted him.

Self-reliance and self-improvement, although as humble as the weeds in the corner, but endlessly, growing towards the sun.

What he wanted to see was never a woman trapped in a corner of the back house.

What he wants is a lover who can ride a horse like him.

At this moment, Jiang Tingye suddenly understood the kind of feelings that his sister and Qi Ying cherished and achieved each other.

If there is such a person in this world who embraces and fits with him from the depths of his soul, even if he dies, they will definitely meet each other on the Huangquan Road.

In the next life, you will also feel the traction from the depths of your soul and walk to each other's side again.

Shen Linglong looked at Jiang Tingye, and couldn't give him an exact reply: "I don't know." ”

She's also not very good at giving people what to expect.

The conversation between the two came to an abrupt end.

Jiang Tingye didn't ask again, he was still thinking about the affairs of the house, but after getting on the horse, he waved his hand at Shen Linglong, quite a sense of chic, and waited until he rode the horse out for a distance, and then said in a voice that he could hear: "When you come back, the sugar will be eaten." ”

It seemed like he should have said it in front of her.

But it's too late now.

Jiang Tingye raised his whip, leaving Shen Linglong with a very decisive back.

Just like he can come when he wants, a young man who is as free as the wind.

When I returned to Sheng, it was almost dinner time.

There was still a long queue outside the gate, both in and out of the city, every day.

Jiang Tingye swept past these teams from the side, the city guard had already remembered him very well, and saw from a distance that when Jiang Tingye crossed the city gate and slowed down the speed of his horse, he flattered and shouted Ye Gongzi.

Jiang Tingye bowed slightly, but his eyes did not wander, and when he was about to ride his horse and continue to run forward, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice calling him from the carriage next to him: "Is it Tingye?" ”

The sound was not loud, but it was enough for Jiang Tingye to hear.

The curtain was not raised, and it seemed that the people inside were not afraid of Jiang Tingye's unheard words and would not know where to find him.

Jiang Tingye frowned, and when he looked sideways, he felt that this carriage was wrong, it was obviously a very ordinary carriage, and it might not even be the specifications of a wealthy businessman, it was more like a rental carriage that could be seen everywhere, bare.

But how could a person in such a carriage know him?

Jiang Ting didn't answer at night, seeing that the carriage had passed the inspection and slowly walked inside, he also followed slightly, and drove into an alley before they all stopped.

At the gate of the city just now, it was not a good place to talk, Jiang Tingye was curious about who this person was, but he was not afraid to follow.

As soon as the carriage stopped, before he could ask, the curtain was lifted, and a figure jumped down from the carriage.

"Master!"

After Jiang Tingye saw the faces of the people dancing on the side of the horse, he sighed in disgust: "I still know that I will come back." ”

Jumping up and down in front of him was Xiong Ge, who had been sent back to the Nine Immortals earlier.

I thought I wouldn't summon him back because there was nothing important, but I didn't expect him to run back by himself.

But.. Although there was a commotion by the city gate just now, Jiang Tingye could still tell that it was a female voice who stopped him.

He glanced at the carriage again, and suddenly a premonition rose up: "Who's coming?" ”

Xiong Ge grinned, stepped back a little, and was about to answer Jiang Tingye's question, when he saw that the curtain of the carriage was opened by a hand, and the words were interrupted, Xiong Ge hurriedly reached out to help the person who came out of the carriage.

Judging from her figure, she is indeed a good woman, she is dressed in a black shawl that wraps almost all the places, and she also wears a hat with a long gauze curtain on her head.

The corners of Jiang Tingye's eyes twitched, and he probably knew who the person who stopped him was.

He silently turned over and dismounted, and the woman lifted the light veil in front of him, and then stretched out her hand to him: "Tingye, come here." ”

Jiang Tingye awkwardly took two steps forward to the woman, and as expected, he was pinched twice.

The woman laughed, "Yes, it's meaty." ”

Jiang Tingye rubbed his face and pursed his lips and said, "Mother, why did you come here by yourself?" Got a fight with my dad? Then you don't have to run that far. ”

Su Pei laughed angrily when she heard him: "Your mother is such a quarrelsome person in your heart who wants to run to Shengjing?!" ”

Jiang Tingye thought about it, it was really not enough, and the yard at home was enough for his father to be beaten.

Su Pei glanced at Jiang Tingye twice, and without waiting for him to speak, he directly closed the curtain again, turned around and returned to the carriage: "Don't follow me." ”

Jiang Tingye: ......

Xiong Ge couldn't help it, and after whispering to Jiang Tingye, 'Madame is saying that the prime minister's mansion will see you', and then followed back into the carriage.

It was the old coachman of the family who drove the carriage, and he told Jiang Tingye that the young master could rest assured, and he would definitely send his wife safely.

The carriage set off and slowly moved away, Jiang Tingye scratched his head, feeling that his mother's elusive traces and temper were really unbearable.

But what can be done, who made her her mother?

Jiang Tingye sighed, checked around to see if they were being followed by suspicious people, and after confirming that no one around them noticed them or followed, he rode out of the alley and ran to Chen Shangshui's gambling house.

As soon as he entered the gambling house, the little guy from earlier immediately came up, saying that his boss was not there when he went out, and he didn't leave him to drink a cup of tea this time, but only said that there was everyone inside, and he was so nervous that he rubbed his hands vigorously.

Jiang Ting glanced at him at night, raised his eyes and looked inside, the one with the highest arrogance in the crowd seemed to be Shen Jin again.

It's really a dog can't change eating, Shen Kang worked hard to build up that little family business, sooner or later he will be defeated by this loser, and he can't change this bad habit of gambling without a finger, the Guo family's affairs have just calmed down, and he can't bear to run out, Shen Linglong is staring at him, hoping that he won't make any mistakes.

Jiang Tingye looked at it coldly for a while, he was not prepared to stay for a long time, since Chen Shangshui was not there, it was just that.

Before leaving, he glanced at Shen Jin twice, the little guy was so frightened that he was covered in sweat, for fear that this master would look at the side unpleasantly and see blood in the past, Chen Shangshui is really not here today, if something happens, they don't know what to do.

Fortunately, Jiang Tingye just glanced at it, and when he turned to leave, he was still very chic and neat.

After swaying around the street a few times, Jiang Tingye slowly returned to the house.

When I arrived at the lobby, I saw that Xicheng was still guarding the door, and I thought that Qi Dao could do it, and I didn't leave after such a day, and I didn't want to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to be the son-in-law of the inverted door, and it would not be a loss to him.

Thinking so, Jiang Tingye was just about to step forward to tease Xicheng again, when he swept his eyes, he saw several people sitting in the room, all staring at him who suddenly appeared at the door.

Jiang Yu is here, Qi Dao is here, Mingyue Chen is here, and his mother who wrapped herself in black is also there.

Qi Dao's grinning smile instantly converged, and in front of Jiang Xingshi's inquiring eyes and Su Pei, he immediately turned into a good baby for three minutes, entered the house and saluted one by one, and rushed to Mingyuechen to sit down, hehe laughed twice: "Are you waiting for me?" ”

Su Pei and Jiang Yu both sat on the upper seat, and in order to show respect, Su Pei still sat on the main seat.

She slowly took off the hat on her head, this time in order to hide people's eyes, she went to Shengjing alone, followed by the captain of the Eagle Eye team, it is estimated that she will arrive tomorrow morning.

"You're not followed, are you?" Su Pei lowered his eyes, but these words were naturally asked by Jiang Tingye.

Jiang Tingye's chest snapped: "I'll do something, mother, don't worry, it's a big deal, I'm too clear." ”

He tried to soothe the solemn atmosphere that was gradually spreading in the room.

But everyone just looked at Su Pei, and their hearts followed Su Pei's seemingly slow movements.

Something must have happened.

Everyone knew that otherwise Su Pei would not have come to Beijing without saying a word, and he didn't even bring anyone, only Xiong Ge had the strength to fight.

Fortunately, peace has arrived.

"When I came out of the Nine Immortals, I was ambushed." Su Pei spoke calmly, and she could see that her arm must have been injured, so her movements were so slow, "Fortunately, I followed the escort of Hawkeye in the dark, and I caught a few people, but without exception, all of them died of poison after a while, it seems that no matter whether they succeed or not, it is impossible for those people to go back alive." ”

Like a temptation that doesn't need to be answered.

Because there is no response, there is no trace to be found.

There was no sign on these people, as if they appeared out of thin air and died in an instant.

"The Nine Immortals can't do without people, so I can only come, Ming Jiang and Changyuan have sent people to investigate, since three months ago, not long after the Dongshu envoy passed by the Nine Immortals, things have become strange." Su Pei's voice was quite calm, which made people feel a little relieved, "There seems to be a group of stragglers coming by the Huai River. ”

"Skirmishers?" Jiang Yu was a little shallow about this concept, and subconsciously spoke.

Su Pei bowed: "The Great Jin also raises people like this, Eagle Eye is the type of skirmishers belonging to the highest level of the Dajin country, it is an elite squad cultivated since years of war exploration, almost every one of them has the strength to match a hundred people, both lurking, undercover, tracking, intelligence and even poison as a body, this kind of skirmishers, generally not used for battlefield fighting, but when they appear at the junction of the two countries in an orderly manner, it symbolizes temptation and declaration of war, but we have not been able to catch any clues yet, Even as a former defeated country, Dongshu's degree of caution is far higher than we think. ”

Jiang Ying fell silent again.

"There was not much fighting back then, Dongshu decisively chose peace talks, in recent years, Dajin has not experienced war, Dongshu's situation we don't know much, but what is certain is that Dongshu is by no means as they themselves say'vulnerable', on the contrary, these years they have tried to use the illusion of peaceful coexistence to make the invincible armor of Dajin dusty, sharp blades pile rust, and in recent years, Dongshu has been in secret, cultivating a skirmisher who they didn't have a few years ago." The look in Su Pei's eyes deepened, "Dongshu also knows that there are many countries, there will be a war, Concubine Jing's favor and pregnancy have catalyzed their ambitions, but unfortunately, the trump cards in their hands have already been reversed." ”
