Half a month later, Su Zhiming and Zhang Zhidong and his entourage converged and returned home.

The trip for both of them was a complete success, and if it weren't for the retreat, it might have gone more smoothly.

But Su Zhiming was already satisfied, and he didn't expect him to complete the task smoothly, although the accident was thrilling, fortunately, it also exercised his mind.

Zhang Zhidong sighed after hearing this, "It's so exciting, I just hate that I wasn't by Brother Su's side at the time, and I couldn't see it with my own eyes!" Brother Su, you must bring me next time there is such a thing! ”

"You're not kidding."

Su Zhiming said angrily: "I almost ruined my career because of this matter, and I almost affected the Queen Mother, and I am still in suspense when I think about it at the moment." But the only good thing is that I got to know Nameless. ”

After getting along with each other for a while, he knew how good Nameless's swordsmanship was.

It seems that there are many hidden masters in the vast rivers and lakes, and Nameless is one of them.

Zhang Zhidong teased him, "Where is there only such a benefit? When Brother Su returns to the capital, isn't it easy to add an official to a knight? Although my task this time was accomplished without merit, in the end, it was not as powerful as Brother Su to turn the tide. When the time comes, Brother Su will be added to the official and become a knight, don't forget that there is also my brother! ”

"you!"

The two of them were in one place, nameless holding a sword and riding on a horse, and couldn't help but laugh when they looked over.

These two adults are young and vigorous, and they don't have any official frame on their bodies, but they like to fight when they get together like ordinary rich and noble sons, which is completely different from the officials he imagined.

The group returned to the capital, Su Zhiming and Zhang Zhidong entered the palace to die, and brought the nameless into the palace as well.

The two begged to see each other outside the Qianqing Palace, and soon got summoned, and Xiao Jizi also said: "The emperor has been waiting for the two adults for a long time, and the queen mother is also inside." The...... Presumably Mr. Nameless, right? ”

Su Zhiming did not say in the report that Nameless was going to assassinate him, only that Nameless went to Xinxiang to inform him of the incident, so in this matter, Nameless also made a great contribution.

Seeing that the palace people were so polite to him, it was expected that Su Zhiming had said a lot of good things about him.

He has always talked little, and he is not good at private chatting in the palace, so he only gestured to Su Zhiming with his eyes, and the three of them walked towards the palace together.

The main hall was wide and splendid, but there was no one.

There was a bead curtain on the left side, and the three of them turned the bead curtain and walked in, only to see a young woman and a young man sitting and playing chess on the couch under the east window.

The icebergs in the temple exude a cool air, making people eliminate all the heat on their bodies.

Nameless knew that he couldn't look up when he saw the Son of Heaven, so he stood behind Su Zhiming and secretly looked at the person playing chess.

The woman wears a water-blue wide-sleeved palace skirt luxuriously and magnificently, but it does not look very luxurious, looking at it in midsummer, it reminds people of the lotus flowers blooming on the lake, and the lotus leaves that catch the sky.

The young son of heaven was dressed in bright yellow, his face was delicate and handsome, and he turned his head with a smile when he saw people coming in, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

"The two Aiqing have worked hard, sit."

The palace man brought a chair, and seeing that Nameless was still standing, Su Youyi looked up at him.

This person has a temperament and is incompatible with the court.

There was a killing chill on his body, even if he couldn't match a sword when he entered the palace, he could see that he should have a sword on his body to be worthy of the murderous aura in his eyes.

He is more like a master of the rivers and lakes than Su Youyi imagined.

It's also more beautiful than Su Youyi imagined.

A cold face, long eyebrows, thin lips......

Su Youyi raised her hand, "This is Mr. Unknown, right?" ”

Nameless according to the number of rites, kneeling on the ground and saluting, "The grass people are nameless, knock to see the queen mother, knock to see the emperor." ”

"No courtesy."

Su Youyi smiled, "Sit down." This time the crisis of the old county is difficult to solve, and it is all up to Mr. to rush to Xinxiang to preach the news regardless of his own body, so that Zhiming can turn the tide. In this trip, Mr. should be the first to take credit. ”

Nameless didn't sit, but glanced at Su Zhiming.

So that's what he said about himself.

But that's not the case.

He said: "The Queen Mother misunderstood, and she rushed to Xinxiang not for the sake of summons, but for ......."

"Queen Mother!"

Su Zhiming stood up abruptly, a little embarrassed, "Queen Mother, this is the first time he has faced a saint, so he is a little nervous." Nameless, the Queen Mother will accept the praise of you, don't be too polite. ”

Su Youyi and Yuan Zhi both heard something.

Su Zhiming is clearly covering up something for Nameless.

Sure enough, Nameless insisted: "The eldest husband has something to do and something not to do, what I do is what I do, and I don't have to be covered up by adults." In fact, I rushed to Xinxiang to assassinate Master Su and avenge the suffering people of the old county. It was only by mistake that I knew that Master Su was not a corrupt official, so I avoided a wrong killing. ”

Motoji looked at him in surprise, he didn't expect that there was such an inside story in this.

Su Youyi already knew it.

When she was still young, she came all the way from Lingnan to the capital, what kind of jackals, tigers and leopards had not been seen on the road?

The first time she saw Nameless, she could see the murderous aura of the swordsman in him.

Yuan Zhi looked at Su Youyi, and Su Zhiming also looked at Su Youyi.

The former is not knowing what to do, and the latter is trying to intercede.

After all, the crime of assassinating a court official, even if it is unsuccessful, is not a trivial matter.

Su Youyi was silent for a moment, and smiled lightly, "I see, it seems that Mr. and Zhiming still don't know each other." However, the emperor's rewards and punishments are clear, and the merits of the gentleman are greater than the faults, and the emperor will not condemn the gentleman for this. ”

Motoji smiled, "The queen mother is right. Sir should not be punished, and I will reward him. ”

With these words, Su Zhiming breathed a sigh of relief, and the nameless sat down.

Then everyone talked about what they had seen and heard in the northwest, and the topic finally turned to Gou Hui, "Gou Hui can not only suppress the local officials from unknowingly embezzling disaster relief silver, but also buy off the first messenger to come back, which is obviously not the ability of a household member Wailang." ”

"The Queen Mother is right."

Su Zhiming said: "In fact, the minister has always suspected that someone in the court instructed him. By the way, I heard that Gou Hui has been taken into custody for trial, and Dali Temple has been interrogated for more than half a month, so there should be a result, right? ”

Motoji sighed a little sadly.

"The result is there, but it's not what we imagined."

Su Zhiming was puzzled and looked at Su Youyi, Su Youyi said: "Gou retreated and claimed that it was his own fascination with money that made him so, and refused to admit that there was any accomplice or behind-the-scenes instigation. He insisted so much that Dali Temple couldn't judge anything more. Now he can only be brought to justice and the matter can be closed for the time being. ”

knew that the trial of this matter had not yet ended, but he could only punish Gou Hui, which made Su Zhiming feel very uncomfortable.

However, Su Youyi was even more uncomfortable than him.

The most uncomfortable thing for her is not that the wicked cannot be brought to justice, but that she guesses, if it is correct, that wicked man-

It's Su Qing.
