"I didn't expect her to be so useless, I should have taken action myself if I knew so, and I wasted such a good opportunity." On the mountain road, the woman in black looked at the lights of thousands of homes in the distance and gritted her teeth fiercely.

Du Ruoqiao stood beside her and said: "What's the use of talking so much now, we will leave overnight tonight, your grievances might as well be put aside first, and ...... later."

"I want her dead right now!" The woman in black had a hideous face, she was not disguised now, and her bright face was faintly demonic madness in the night. "She ruined my family, caused me to live and die several times, I have long hated her, since I can't get rid of her by the hands of others, I will do it myself!"

"Why are you so persistent!" Du Ruoqiao frowned and looked at her, "Now is not the time for you to be rash, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court will arrive in these two days, Brother He will leave first with most of the people, what we have to do now is to catch up with Brother He as soon as possible and join them." ”

"I'm going to kill her, it's a big deal to fight for this life, if I don't come back tonight, you can leave first, and I'll die." She said.

The resentful woman in black picked up her sword and was about to leave, but at this time, a cold light crossed under the miserable white moonlight, she turned sideways to avoid it, and when she turned around, she saw a sharp sword sinking more than three inches into the trunk of the tree. If the sword falls on her, she will surely die.

"Who is it?" Du Ruoqiao shouted vigilantly.

A person came out of the darkness, half of his face was vaguely unclear, but his mouth was full of ruffianism, "I'm going to leave soon, I'm waiting for you." ”

"Is that you, Xie Yikou?" The woman in black sneered, "You know I'm going to kill that slut, so you're distressed?" Don't forget, you are a rebel and thief now, and when she sees you, she will only want you to ambush you, so it is better for me to kill her now, and it will be a hundred. ”

She was resentful and afraid, she was sure that Xie Yikou wanted to kill her, but presumably he also knew that he couldn't touch himself now, so he changed his mind temporarily. Xie Yikou is now a grasshopper on a rope with them, and he hasn't gained a firm foothold yet, if something happens at this time, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

Xie Yikou looked like he didn't have oil and salt, he only had a scabbard in his hand, and he walked out of the shadows, "If you have to worry about it, I will solve my affairs myself." It's you, I haven't seen you for a few months, but Miss Shang is still majestic, which is admirable. ”

This "Miss Shang" almost stepped on the lifeblood of the woman in black, and a stiff line appeared at the corner of her mouth. She knew the relationship between Xie Yikou and Wen Zhesang, and knew that when the Shang family was confiscated, Xie Yikou followed Wen Zhesang and saddled up the horse. Now when she sees Xie Yikou, she will think of Wen Zhesang, and think of her father and brother who died tragically!

The woman in black, Shang Nanyun, took a breath of resentment and went back, staring at Xie Yikou who was getting closer and closer with a pair of eyes, "If I have to take her life today, what will happen to you?" ”

Xie Yikou walked past her, and with some effort it took some effort to draw his sword, he waved it twice, and said, "Before the sword is back in its sheath, it will be good to kill you." Although it's not good to kill you at this time, I can't help it if you want to die. After all, there is Du Ruoqiao to testify - you also know that she doesn't listen to orders and insists on going her own way, right? Shouldn't you kill disobedient people and stop losses in time? ”

Du Ruoqiao, who was suddenly named, was stunned, she couldn't answer this. She has been with Shang Nanyun for many days, although she doesn't like whether Shang Nanyun is crazy or not, she also can't be loyal to Xie Yikou, the person who suddenly appeared.

So she just looked up at the sky, pretending not to know. The moon was bright in the sky, and the tall trees only left a deep silhouette in the night, and suddenly, she opened her eyes slightly wide, looking at the crimson in the sky.

"Why is there a sunrise so early today? I remember when I wasn't a child......"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xie Yikou also sneered, "The camp is on fire...... How do I hear the sound of soldiers? Is it the soldiers of the imperial court who are coming? "He looked like he was smiling and not smiling.

Du Ruoqiao felt cold in his heart, and he couldn't care about the fight between the two people beside him, and hurriedly said: "There are only a hundred people left now, and it will definitely not be able to stop for long, let's go back and see the situation!" ”

Shang Nanyun's expression struggled, "I'...... Am I going to let her go free like this? ”

Xie Yikou opened his mouth and smiled, "You can also go to the yamen now, but once the people from the imperial court arrive, do you think the yamen will be guarded?" I'm afraid that you won't even enter the yamen, and you'll be the first to take the lead. ”

"Let's go! What are you still doing? There will be opportunities in the future. Du Ruoqiao shouted anxiously at her.

Shang Nanyun could only leave unwillingly.

In the night, Xie Yikou silently watched the election, and the moonlight fell in his eyes, swallowed by the deeper darkness inside.

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency! Look outside! Wen Zhesang was woken up by the winter snow, she put on her clothes and went out, and when she looked up, she saw a red light in the mountains and forests, the red light mixed with the night was thick and deep, at first glance it looked like a glow, but not as bright as a glow.

"Is it a wildfire?" Now that the weather is dry, it will be troublesome if there is a real wildfire.

Dongxue said: "It looks like it, why don't you let people take a look?" ”

The sound of horses' hooves kicking and trampling came from far and near, and a light horse stopped outside the yamen. There was an abrupt knock on the door, and Wen Yan jumped off the wall and asked the official to open the door. He leaned down in front of Wen Zhesang and said, "Lord Yu, outside the door is General Wei. ”

It turned out that the soldiers and horses of the imperial court had arrived.

A moment later, candles lit up in the side hall of the yamen. This time, General Wei brought many people, in addition to his subordinates, the deputy brought two people. In addition, there is also a civil official, Wen Zhesang happens to know that person, he has been working in Beijing before, and he has some talent in political affairs, and now he comes to Qingfeng County for some reason.

"Your Excellency might as well take a look at this first." The civil official Zhu Zihai handed out a long brocade box, and said while Wen Zhesang opened the brocade box, "The emperor means that what the adults have done in Qingfeng County is obvious to all, and the adults have political achievements." But now the mountain bandit Pangeng is outside Qingfeng County, and the situation is critical, and the emperor is worried about your safety here, so he ordered you to ...... Back to Shangjing. ”

It turned out that the brocade box contained a holy decree. Wen Zhesang didn't open it to look at it, but handed it to Zhu Zihai again, she said, "You can announce it." With that, he got up and took two steps forward and knelt down. The next moment, there was a circle of people kneeling in the side hall.

Zhu Zihai bowed his head to her and immediately announced his decree. The content of the holy decree is the same as what he just said, except that Wen Zhesang was removed from his post and Zhu Zihai was allowed to take over the post of county magistrate of Qingfeng County.

"Minister...... The courtier's ...... received the decree "She raised her hands above her head to receive the Ming Huang holy decree, but after getting up, she put down the holy decree and did not want to touch it again."

"Miss Wen?" Zhu Zihai couldn't understand it. At the beginning, Miss Wen's intention to become an official caused a stir in Shangjing, which made countless people admire. But now that he has been dismissed, why is he not at all disappointed?

Wen Zhesang's face was as usual: "Since the emperor ordered me to return to Beijing as soon as possible, then I will also finish handing over the affairs of the county to the adults as soon as possible." ”

Zhu Zihai did not doubt him, and continued: "I wonder if you have seen the fire on the other side of the mountain? General Wei's subordinates are encircling and suppressing the mountain bandits, and they will definitely be able to take down the thieves - I heard that one of them is a catcher in the yamen? ”

It didn't come early, and there were still a lot of things found.

Wen Zhesang thought in his heart, a bitter smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I didn't know people well before, so I didn't mention it." However, I would like to remind adults that it is now a dry autumn day, and it is better to think more about setting fires in the mountains. ”

Zhu Zihai nodded yes, and he was helpless when he said it, "When we arrived, we found that those people were about to leave, and when the incident happened suddenly, we could only use extraordinary means to besiege them in order to catch them all." ”

Wen Zhesang: "It seems that those mountain bandits are lucky, if the adults come a little later, I'm afraid they will be able to retreat." ”

Zhu Zihai heard the thorn in her words, and also said: "That is the case, we are also very curious, although it is not a secret that the imperial court sent troops, how could they leave just when we happened to arrive?" If I hadn't known that Miss Wen was for the country and the people, I would have thought that Miss Wen had leaked our traces. Hahaha, I'm so straightforward, Miss Wen don't blame me. ”

Wen Zhesang smiled gently, she got up with the holy decree, and called Dongxue to leave: "The adult fell from Shangjing to Qingfeng County, which is considered a demotion, and the adult is not angry and angry for a while, and he is talking nonsense - I can understand it." ”

She walked simply, Zhu Zihai drank tea in the side hall, originally he had asked someone to find out that there was a vacancy under the household, and he sent all the money over, but because of Wen Zhesang, because of this Qingfeng County, the errand he planned was so yellow!

He just wanted to teach Wen Zhesang a lesson, who knew that she was so clever and unwilling to accept any grievances.

"It's been so long, it's time to go and see how it goes." General Wei had not taken off his armor, and even the cold light shone in the candlelight. When the two deputies heard this, they also wanted to follow.

General Wei: "You will stay in the yamen, so that no thieves will take advantage of the situation." ”

After arranging everything, General Wei hurriedly led a group of people out of the yamen and went straight to the place where the fire was flourishing.

"Big ...... Miss, did you really just let it go? Dongxue sent Wen Zhisang back to the house, she wanted to talk and stopped talking along the way, and when she got to the house, she couldn't help but ask.

Dongxue knew how hard her young lady worked to have the opportunity to come to Qingfeng County to be the county magistrate, and she also knew that she had forgotten to sleep and eat in the past six months, and almost became ill just to be a good official...... Just give up everything like this, is she really willing?

Wen Zhesang drank hot tea to dispel the cold air on his body. A smile tugged at the corners of her mouth, and she didn't know if it was relief or what, and she said, "I'm going to let it go." Whether it is in Shangjing or Qingfeng County, everyone says that I can't do it, saying that I am a woman, and it is better to go home and find a good family than to work hard to become an official. Three people become tigers, not to mention so many people say. Dongxue, why are people's words so terrible - even I believe it. ”

She also smiled and said: "I didn't accept fate, so I made a rugged path for myself." Unexpectedly, now this road has come to an end. You go and arrange a place for Lord Zhu and General Wei, it's not good to make them wait longer. ”
