The great general Huaqi returned to Beijing.

As soon as this news came out, it was talked about in the streets and alleys, and people with a heart speculated about Huaqi's intention to return to Beijing this time. Eagle King Wei Lie is dead, and no one in the frontier can have any deterrent power to Xiliang, except for the general Hua Qi, he was a brave and resourceful, capable and brave general, but for various reasons Wei Lie pressed a head, this time into Beijing, he also has an account in his heart.

The accompanying thirty horsemen and guards were all disguised and lightly on the road, which was thousands of miles from the south to the capital, and they arrived in more than a month. On this day, Hua Qi led everyone to rest in the inn, and unexpectedly heard the people in the tavern talking about him. It's probably nothing more than talking about how he has no choice but to be, how he has been subservient because of Wei Lie. Hua Qi held the wine cup in his hand and listened quietly, as if what he said was not himself at all.

Looking out of the door, the streets were bustling with activity, and all the way north, he gradually felt the prosperity of the imperial capital, where the prosperity and glory were far from comparable to the small land where he succumbed. He was unwilling to be heavy in his heart, and the anger that had been deliberately suppressed in the past was inadvertently stirred up little by little, and he drank glass after glass. He didn't want to return to Beijing, and would rather live a free life in his projectile land, but after all, it was difficult for the emperor to do it.

He had to return to Beijing to report on his work.

It's just that what makes him strange is that his trip is a secret order, how can the streets and alleys of the capital know all overnight? Could it be ...... Their actions have long been no secret?

Another glass of wine, poured into the mouth, the spicy feeling rushed into the brain, confusing the rush and sobriety of the past few days. Gradually, he became a little drunk.

He glanced out the door again, only to see a corner of white clothes coming in against the door frame. His heart was vigilant, and he glanced left and right. The guards were immediately vigilant.

But after seeing the man in white come in, he seemed to be very familiar with the shopkeeper, asked for a jar of wine, and made it two tables away from Huaqi and them, and poured himself a drink. Hua Qi glanced at him twice, only to think that this person was handsome, with bewitching eyebrows, frowning slightly, and secretly saying that all the men in Beijing were so beautiful?

Everyone drank his own wine, and no one explained his sorrow.

The first day after Huaqi entered Beijing, it was like this.

***

"Sister Ruoxi, there's an adult outside who wants to see you." Xiaoxiao came in with a tea plate, with a smile in her eyebrows, Ruoxi put down the female red in her hand and looked at her, and smiled. I have to say that after Xiaoxiao took care of her, her mood was indeed much better. Ruoxi also felt that she Ruoxi girl's call was shengfen, so she asked her to call her Ruoxi sister like Ning Xiang.

"What sir?" She asked.

"I don't know, but it seems to be a big official."

"Then how do you know he's a big official?"

Xiaoxiao put down the plate and gestured to a circle with his hand, "You can see by looking at his head in a while, his head is so big!" My father used to say that those with big heads are all big officials, and the big heads are born to wear official hats. ”

Ruoxi couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and stuck the embroidery needle into the cloth, "Okay, then I'll go and see how big his head is." ”

Xiaoxiao helped her obediently, and after changing into simple clothes, Ruoxi went out of the bedroom, and as soon as she came out, she saw a young man in an official uniform, who seemed to be much older than Bai Jiang.

After looking at each other for a few rounds, the young man's face gradually showed a puzzled look, Ruoxi smiled, she knew that she had now been rumored to be a beauty in everyone's mouth, although she was a beauty who was a beauty in the country and the city, but at this moment, the face after the disguise was really not a beautiful word. This man must have been very disappointed.

"Sister Ruoxi, it's this adult looking for you." Smiled and pointed at him.

Ruoxi smiled slightly, and went over to salute, "Ruoxi has seen the adult, I don't know what the adult is doing here?" "She gets straight to the point.

The man looked at her twice more from top to bottom, and coughed, "Yuan Xing is the staff counselor next to His Highness." ”

It turned out to be a military advisor who came up with an idea. Ruoxi smiled shallowly, "So, why did Lord Yuan come?" "She didn't know the man. Didn't pay attention either.

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, facing such a smile, Yuan Xing didn't know how to open his mouth and say the words to let her leave.

"Your Excellency?" She waited for a moment, but he didn't speak.

Yuan Xing could only hesitate to speak, thinking for a long time and not knowing what words to use to start, and planned to copy the sentence he said to Bai Jiang yesterday, but he also felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to talk about him left and right, "The girl has been very famous in the palace recently. ”

Ruoxi's mind moved, and he understood a little. glanced at it and smiled, "Let's serve tea to Lord Yuan, and use the new bottle of good tea brought by His Royal Highness." After Xiaoxiao left, she turned to look at Yuan Xing and said with a smile, "Lord Yuan, please say it directly." ”

Yuan Xing nodded, "Girl, do you know that Your Highness hasn't been to the court for a few days?" ”

Ruoxi looked down at the ground and said softly, "Five days." ”

"What does the girl think?" He took a step back.

Ruoxi raised her head in confusion and asked curiously, "Do you want to invite Your Highness to the court?" He went to his study early in the morning. "The implication is that if you look for him, you will find him, and it is useless to talk to me.

Yuan Xing touched a soft nail, pursed his lower lip, and said, "If the girl has to explain it below, it's okay." Yuan Xing came this time to take the liberty of persuading the girl to leave. These two words came out of his lips and slammed them on the ground, as if with a loud sound.

Ruoxi blinked, and after a few breaths, she suddenly smiled, and Yuan Xing asked, "Why is the girl laughing?" ”

"I laugh twice," Ruoxi calmly met his eyes, and the cold light caught Yuan Xing off guard. "One is for His Highness, because His Highness has loyal ministers like you by his side, and the other is to laugh at your stupidity."

Stupid...... He is a famous person, the staff and military advisor of the Third Highness Wei Sa! Yuan Xing didn't come back to his senses a little, this blow was too huge.

"Do you think you can resist Ruoxi with your own strength?" Ruoxi smiled shallowly, but it was a little charming. Yuan Xing was just about to speak, but Ruoxi interrupted him, "Today, His Royal Highness can spoil Bai Ruoxi, and the adults will come and move their mouths, and say that they will leave me, and tomorrow the adults can guarantee that they can persuade the second Bai Ruoxi to leave?" If there is no Bai Ruoxi, what will Li Ruoxi, Wang Ruoxi, adults still concoct the same method, generalize? ”

"Beauty has always been the evil of the country." Yuan Xing's voice gradually deepened, it was the first time he had been said so.

"My lord's words are wrong, Ruoxi is not a beauty, you must be surprised, so Ruoxi can't afford to be a demon." As soon as Ruoxi's voice fell, Xiaoxiao brought in fragrant tea, set up the tea cup for the two, and stepped aside. The two picked up the teacup and took a sip, making a temporary truce.

Yuan Xing tasted it, and that tea was indeed Yunfeng's good tea. Unexpectedly, he brought him to Ruoxi and rewarded her.

"Tea can be intoxicating and sober. It's a good thing. Ruoxi held the teacup and said softly. Yuan Xing heard the taste and looked at her. "Adults are loyal ministers and good days, full of poetry and books, the truth that everything has advantages and disadvantages is naturally more than Ruoxi, in front of adults, Ruoxi will not say much." She looked up slowly, her eyes deep.

Yuan Xing's eyebrows moved, and he also put down the teacup in his hand, "If it's really as the girl said, I admire it when I fall down." Leave. ”

"If you send your lord." said that it was a send, but Ruoxi just got up and stood down and watched it. The two had enough of playing dumb riddles, and they broke up unhappily.

He left, smiled and curiously came over and asked, "Sister Ruoxi, this adult looks so fierce, why did he come to you?" ”

"It's nothing, he's a good guy, you have to respect him in the future. You know what? Ruoxi took two more sips of tea.

"How? Hit the nail, right? Bai Jiang looked at Yuan Xing, who was depressed, and smiled happily.

Yuan Xing looked at him coldly, "Old friend is deflated, you are still gloating, you really have no conscience." He paused, and then added, "But, speaking of which, she is an extraordinary woman. ”

"How?" This is not right, it has only been such a short time, and he has changed his opinion of Ruoxi?

Yuan Xing recalled seriously, "I thought that this woman must have a bit of a posture, but I didn't expect that there was no posture at all, and from the amount of it was also the posture of a middle-aged person, at the beginning I wondered if His Highness had something wrong with his brain." ”

Bai Jiang laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "You're right, Your Highness only likes her so much because of something wrong with her brain." ”

"Don't laugh so loudly!" Yuan Xing looked around and pushed him, "I'm telling you, this woman is not simple. ”

"What's not easy?" Bai Jiang was curious, he really wanted to know how Ruoxi defeated this eloquent Yuan Xing army division in just a few words.

Yuan Xing thought for a while, and slowly shook his head, "I can't tell, in short, this woman is very quick to think and very alert, she not only quickly knew my intention to go, but also used my point of view to overturn my concerns, listen to her words, we have to thank her." ”

"With her Bai Ruoxi here, at least Her Highness will no longer be so energetic and attentive to others, and what is commendable is that she is a sensible person, I asked her how many days Her Royal Highness has not been to the court, she blurted out, without hesitation, she is a heart." Yuan Xing sighed, "If it is a virtuous woman, it is not a bad thing to stay by Her Highness's side. ”

"It's rare for you to figure it out with this piece of wood, the difference between the truth on this Fengyue field and the book is that you love me, not anything else. This is the true feeling, hey, looking at you like this, I know that it doesn't make sense with you, I really wronged my sister-in-law to stay with your big log all day long, just go to the study, Your Highness has been waiting there for a long time. Bai Jiang sighed and walked in the direction of the study.

When they arrived at the study, they saw Wei Sa reading intently outside the open window, looked up and saw them, and said angrily, "You just came, I've been waiting for a long time." ”

Bai Jiang glanced at Yuan Xing with a smile, and Yuan Xing coughed, "There are some trivial matters, I have delayed, Your Highness forgive me." Wei Sa waved his hand and said, "Tell me about the situation outside." ”

"The outside is already full of deeds about General Huaqi, and the streets and alleys are all complaining for him." Yuan Xing finally showed his first smile today.

Wei Sa folded his arms behind his head, and looked at the paper that had just been written on the case, "This is very good, this king doesn't believe that a man with such arrogance in Huaqi would be unmoved in the face of these rumors, you wait and see, I guess he is already full of dissatisfaction with his father at the moment." Bai Jiang, you send a lot of people to follow them, and report any abnormalities in time, we must rush ahead of the big brother and pull the general Huaqi over. The man's lazy expression revealed that he was very sure of victory, and Bai Jiang and Yuan Xing were encouraged and replied together, "Don't worry, Your Highness." For the generals, we are bound to win. ”
