In the room, Wen Zhesang sat alone. After a long time, she laughed almost inaudibly, and laughed at herself in a low voice: "Is it unwilling in the end." ”

There was Shangguan Jinrong in the previous dynasty, why can't there be a Wen Zhesang in the current dynasty? She leaned helplessly against the window, the wildfire outside had gradually been extinguished, and the black smoke rose into the sky, obscuring the moon.

"Chirp!" The little kingfisher fluttered its wings and landed in front of Wen Zhesang, tilting its head to look at her. This little kingfisher is the one Xie Yikou brought back, Xie Yikou is gone, but it has to rely on Wen Zhesang. Wen Zhesang saw that it was cute, so he kept it by his side.

At night, it should have slept peacefully in the nest, but for some reason it woke up, and chirped around Wen Zhisang a few times, and then landed firmly on her shoulder.

"Your master is gone, and you won't follow, little white-eyed wolf." She poked her finger at the kingfisher's head.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "tuk tuk", she frowned and leaned out half of her body, and as soon as she turned her head, she saw Xie Yikou, who was supposed to fight with the imperial court soldiers and horses on the mountain, looking at her with a flattering smile.

The events of that night suddenly crept into his mind, and Wen Zhisang's tone was cold, "What are you doing here?" If you want to hold me hostage and let General Wei retire, then you have made a mistake, I have no official position now, and I am just an insignificant person. ”

She said that she was about to close the window, Xie Yikou saw that she couldn't see it well, so she immediately stepped forward and clasped her hand, and fell without skin and face: "My lord, my subordinates know that they are wrong."

Wen Zhesang raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Right now, the yamen is full of General Wei's subordinates, if you mess around, be careful that I let them take you down, so as to eliminate harm for the people."

She withdrew her hand and turned to pour herself a cup of tea, and the little kingfisher tilted her head to look at Xie Yikou, as if she hadn't seen her for a few days and didn't know her. The soft feathers of the little kingfisher swept over the earlobes, leaving a crispy itch and a thin red dyed at some point.

"If you really want to be so ruthless, I can only accept my fate. It's a pity that his subordinates risked their lives and rushed all the way down from the mountains, just to see if the adults were okay. Xie Yikou shamelessly turned in through the window, and closed the window intimately, so as not to be seen.

"Now you see, I'm very good, don't worry about Boss Xie, I will go back to Beijing in a few days, and go back to be an official and noble girl according to Leader Xie's wishes, whether it's good or bad from now on, everything has nothing to do with Boss Xie."

The two have been together for half a year, but now they are even more distant than strangers.

Xie Yikou had to smile bitterly, it was he who said the ruthless words at the beginning, which hurt her and himself. It is right for an adult to be angry, and he will suffer no matter what.

After being silent for a long time, the two could only hear the crisp "chirping" sound of the little kingfisher, and after a while, the little kingfisher seemed to be tired, swayed and flew back to his nest, buried his head and fell asleep.

Xie Yikou thought about it for a long time, and was really unwilling to leave like this, "They know me...... I used to work under adults, and because I was worried that my surrender would be fake, I was always followed. I thought I had thrown off my tail that day, but I didn't expect him to follow him all the way to the yamen, and I didn't want the adults to be in danger because of this, so I ......" He gritted his teeth in his heart, and confided in the matter, while carefully looking at Wen Zhesang's expression.

God knows how he wanted to kill himself after he said those words, but there were still people in the shadows, so he could only pretend not to care, pretending not to know.

Wen Zhesang's expression moved slightly, and he looked at him sideways, "Then why are you here today, not afraid of people following?" ”

Xie Yikou said: "As far as the situation on the mountain is concerned, they are only concerned about running away by themselves, how can they have the heart to spy on me?" I'm also afraid that adults will not be happy, so I want to come and explain to adults, if adults are annoyed, it's okay to beat me and scold me, that is, don't say anything about going back to Beijing to get married and have children. ”

He showed a little pain on his face, and then said with a smile: "I heard my father-in-law say that those sons and brothers in Shangjing are all gentlemen, and I don't know how many wives and concubines there are in the family. Adults have to be strong, how can they stand being with other women......" He choked in his throat and didn't speak again.

"You can talk." In the middle of the night, he heard Wen Zhesang mutter. When I looked at her again, the anger between my eyebrows and eyes turned into wind. Xie Yikou breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to sell another good man, when Wen Zhisang spoke again.

"What are your plans for the future? I understand that you surrendered to He Qiuping for the sake of your brother, but after Jiang Weixi and them are safe, where will you go? ”

Xie Yikou smiled bitterly: "It's not a secret, I have heard some news in the past few days, and they say that I am the prince and want to assist me to wait for the throne."

Wen Zhesang raised his eyebrows and almost laughed out loud, "Are you kidding me?" Who in the whole world does not know that the throne of the current saint is justifiably inherited, even if you are the illegitimate son of the previous emperor, there is absolutely no possibility of inheriting the throne. ”

"Of course I'm not." Xie Yikou was extremely helpless, "I only heard about such a little thing, and other people who have a little deeper news don't know." I just thought that He Qiuping and they were probably thieves, giving me a plausible identity and using me as a living signboard. ”

He suddenly said: "I am a person with no ambitions, I just want to be safe and stable for the rest of my life, and I have no interest in being a thief or an emperor." But now that I am controlled by others, I really can't find a way to get out, so I can only take one step at a time. ”

Wen Zhesang wrinkled his eyebrows and pondered, the emperor's secret letter only said that she should return quickly, but did not say a word about what it was about. can contact what happened in Qingfeng County, could it be that the emperor has already noticed the matter of He Qiuping and his party? If so, she does have to go back to Beijing.

"It's not impossible." Wen Zhesang said, "Rebellion is a great crime to punish the nine clans, and it is best if you don't want to do it." If it is decided today, the people will recuperate, whether it is the emperor or the people, no one will be allowed to seek the usurpation of the throne - the emperor values the peace of the world, and the people care about their own safety. If you can cooperate with the emperor and help him remove this tumor, then the problem will be solved. ”

He Qiuping's people are unknown, but they don't seem to be ordinary people. They said that they wanted to help Xie Yikou sit on the throne, so they would inevitably ask for soldiers and money, and there were very few people in the world who could do all this. Either there are big businessmen who pay money, or they are powerful and have many henchmen.

Xie Yikou looked puzzled, and said in annoyance: "I'm just a martial artist, even if I want to cooperate with the emperor, I can't do anything."

Wen Zhesang looked teasing, put down the teacup and looked at him: "Have you forgotten that I will return to Beijing in a few days?" It's a long way to go to Jingshan, not to mention two months away, and these two months are enough time for you to arrange Jiang Weixi's whereabouts. When the time comes, if you sneak into Shangjing quietly, I will naturally have a way to move the emperor, but the palace is heavily guarded, and I am afraid it will be difficult for you to negotiate with the emperor in person. ”

Speaking of this, she saw Xie Yikou's face as usual, and even a little happy, before she continued: "But you'd better find a way to gain He Qiuping's trust, otherwise they may not let you move freely."

Once your actions are restricted, there are many things that cannot be done.

Wen Zhesang said that this method has great risks, one is to solve the problem of He Qiuping's trust in him, and the other is whether the emperor will deal with He Qiuping anymore and deal with him, a person who is "suspected of being a prince".

But Xie Yikou didn't want to do so much, he only felt that the method Wen Zhesang said was feasible, so he didn't want to agree, and said with a smile: "My subordinates know that adults will not ignore their subordinates."

For a while, the solemn atmosphere was washed away. Wen Zhesang felt in a trance that the few days when they were separated did not exist at all, she and Xie Yikou were together, she was still the female county magistrate who was criticized and criticized, and he was still Xie Zhutou standing behind her.

But some things are different.

For example, Wen Zhesang quietly looked away and put Xie Yikou's complete trust in him into the bottom of his heart.

When Dongxue came back to report, Xie Yikou had just left.

"Big ...... Miss, the accommodation of Lord Zhu and General Wei and others was arranged, but there were not enough rooms in the yamen, so I took it upon myself to charter an inn for them. General Wei had just returned, and it was said that more than 100 people in the mountains had been ambushed, but according to what the mountain bandits said when they shouted, their large army had already withdrawn. Lord Zhu was furious when he heard about it, and he was losing his temper. He was still skeptical...... It is suspected that the adults handed a message to the mountain bandits, which made those mountain bandits run away in advance. ”

The night in September was the coolest, and when Dongxue entered the house, she extinguished the candle in the lantern, and she was angry at the nonsense of the new county magistrate.

"It's a good thing." Wen Zhesang's gaze drifted out of the window, but it was dark outside, and the person had already left.

Wen Zhesang said: "His new official is in the limelight, and I heard that he wanted to climb up in Shangjing, but unfortunately this happened, and his thoughts were all in vain." He was so angry that he could spill it, but he couldn't spill it on General Wei, so I had to be his punching bag. But what he said was ridiculous, and you don't have to pay attention to him. ”

Dongxue: "Miss is just too relieved, so it's easy for people to bully."

"I just have more important things to do." Wen Zhesang said seriously, "I don't plan to take you back when I go back to Beijing this time." ”

"Why is this so, Miss? Did the slave do something wrong? Dongxue's eyes widened when she heard this, as if the sky was falling, she pondered hard whether she had made a mistake, and finally couldn't help but feel bitter.

Wen Zhesang was afraid that she would really cry, so she had to explain: "How old is it, why do you still cry your nose at every turn?" I just thought that this was the place where I had worked so hard, and I wouldn't be willing to leave like this, but you know I can't stay. That's why I thought you'd stay for me, and I wasn't destined to come back. ”

If she guessed correctly, she would still have a chance to come back after Xie Yikou's incident.

I don't know what I thought, Wen Zhesang smiled again and said, "Also, if I take you away, I'm afraid that Song Hanshu will go to Beijing to find me for a theory."
