The night attack was well concealed from the garrison.

But the next morning, when the first stall owner who went out to sell steamed buns saw the blood stains on the street, speculation and truth began to spread irrepressibly in Binh Duong Mansion.

The people even found a blood-stained weapon that looked like a whip instead of a whip, and a hammer instead of a hammer in a broken basket on a street corner.

The things were presented to the government office, and He Fangnian learned the news from the entourage patrolling the streets. But the moment he saw the weapon, He Fangnian still trembled and rushed to the garrison mansion non-stop.

"Lu Jin has been plotted, Tuzhi, you go back first, the exam is important."

There was such a big thing, Xu Yuan naturally would not obediently go back to Xu's Mansion to stay, carrying the question paper and putting the weapon into the cloth bag, Xu Yuan bypassed the officials in the mansion and rushed to the West Mansion on horseback.

"Uncle Chen has a happy event, why did you eat beef today?"

When he entered the door, Xu Yuan saw the gatekeeper holding a plate of half-cooked beef and a bottle of spirits on the table, so he asked more.

The gatekeeper's surname is Chen, and he seems to have had a name before, but as the years go by, everyone calls him the porter or Uncle Chen, and I'm afraid he has forgotten his name.

These are all things that Xu Yuan heard from Ruan Miaoling when he was recuperating.

The gatekeeper nodded and smiled, and the thin old man turned out to be a little cute.

"Sister is practicing martial arts today."

Xu Yuan thanked him and glanced at the beef on the plate, perhaps because he was too sensitive to the taste of blood in his previous life, as long as there was a little bit of it, it could make him wake up.

The beef is not fully cooked, and it is normal to have a bloody smell, and it is really suspicious...... Xu Yuan quickened his pace.

"Half soaked in blood, it is estimated that it is very deep."

Ruan Miaoling put down the strange weapon, looked up at Xu Yuan, and it was rare to see that he was not dizzy when he saw the blood, and even carried it on his body to show her.

Courage is commendable, and there is progress.

The next moment, Xu Yuan's complexion changed, and he rushed out of the Lianwu Hall and ran to the bottom of the corridor to retching at a short green plant, and his hand holding the railing raised a green tendon.

Wen'er sneered very dissatisfied, and when Xu Yuan slowed down, she quickly withdrew the beloved green plant, if Ruan Miaoling gave her the right to beat people, Xu Yuan would have become a dead soul at her feet at this moment.

"Guts is still running around with this filthy thing."

Ruan Miaoling picked up a plum and handed it over.

Xu Yuan wanted to eat the plum with that slender hand, but he was afraid that he would really do it, so Wen'er followed and asked for his life. Finally, he spread his palm and took the plum and threw it into his mouth, and the tumbling river and sea in his stomach were calmed down.

"I was in a hurry to see you, and I forgot about it for a while."

Ruan Miaoling beckoned him to sit down, poured two cups of tea for himself and Xu Yuan, and took a shallow sip.

Whether it is a habit or not, the act of pouring tea still warms Xu Yuan's heart.

did not cut off all contacts because the two were no longer husband and wife, as well as some habitual behaviors, Lingling has never been a cold-hearted person.

Although sometimes it seems so on the surface.

"Uncle Ren found out something interesting a few days ago, which happened to be related to Lu Jin." Ruan Miaoling said.

Xu Yuan had little intersection with Lu Jin before, and occasionally listened to a few words of conversation from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, but there were few good words.

"Something to do with his wife's concubine?" Xu Yuan guessed one, except for guarding the peace of the mansion, there were not many things that could make Ruan Miaoling feel that Lu Jin was interesting.

Ruan Miaoling smiled, "It's close, it's his original wife." ”

"I remember that Lu Jin's original partner was the sister of Li Chongshan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and it seems that she is no longer there."

Xu Yuan didn't know what Gu Ren had found.

"Lu Jin said to the outside world that the original wife died under the iron hoof, but in fact, she sold her wife for glory."

When Wen'er heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Xu Yuan a few more times.

Xu Yuan subconsciously sat sideways to the other side, although he did not reach the point of selling his wife for glory, but he failed to save his wife's life at the moment of life and death, which was not much worse.

Glancing at Ruan Miaoling with a weak heart, she continued to speak, and she didn't know if she thought of her situation at that time.

"Li Chongshan didn't check this? My sister suddenly lost her life, and even if she died in an accident, she should be carefully checked. As far as he knows, Li Chongshan dotes on his only sister very much, and takes care of his nephew by the way.

"I checked, but the mountains are high and the rivers are far away, and no matter how powerful Master Li is, he only has two eyes. Whether it is Ruyang where Lu Jin stayed, or the current Pingyang Mansion, few people dare to mention his past. ”

Lu Jin's past was erased with a fierce reputation.

After listening to the words, Xu Yuan sighed lowly.

"I will go back to my room to study, earn a good reputation, and never learn from him to sell his wife for glory."

Planning to stay permanently?

There is skin and no face!

Wen'er chased him out and was called back by Ruan Miaoling.

"He can prepare for the exam here with peace of mind, don't bother him."

I didn't believe how serious Xu Yuan could be in Xifu, and it was clear that he was taking advantage of his illness.

"Sister, in case you are seen by outsiders-"

Ruan Miaoling knew that people's words were terrifying, and she didn't plan to let Xu Yuan live permanently, "At most, let him be here during the day, and he still has to go home at night, and when he wins the champion, I will get out." ”

"Really?"

I don't believe it.

"Do you know what Xu Yuan is most afraid of?" Ruan Miaoling asked.

"I'm afraid of death."

Ruan Miaoling shook her head: "Qin Jie." ”

Xu Yuan's top official, the person who has left a shadow in Xu Yuan's heart for a long time.

"It's the general's apprentice, and the slave maid also persuaded my sister to ask Lord Qin for help." ”

She doesn't like to ask for help, but if Xu Yuan refuses to dissolve the marriage contract after winning the championship, it is not impossible to ask Qin Jie for a favor.

……

"Chang, I haven't been here for tea for a long time."

Dr. Tea carried a long-spouted teapot and greeted Chang Chang as he passed by.

"How can you have that idle time?" Chang Chang thought that the Lord of Futai might have to stay for an hour or two when he went to the garrison mansion, and it was not a way to wait, so he raised his feet and entered the teahouse.

This place is close to the garrison, and the wind and grass kinetic energy can be seen.

"They all said that the garrison was injured, is there really such a thing?" Dr. Tea asked in a low voice, and the entire teahouse was instantly silent.

Chang Chang took a sip of tea and sighed: "Don't listen to people's nonsense." ”

"But Futai has come to the door in person......"

"If it hadn't hurt, Futai wouldn't have bothered to take care of that grumpy ......"

The people in the teahouse said everything to me, and even told the story of what happened in the garrison last night, as if they had witnessed the fierce battle last night.

Chang Chang didn't say much, for fear of causing trouble for himself.

There was a poor old scholar in the corner, his cunning eyes swept everyone's faces one by one, and occasionally interjected a few words, but the crowd was not too abrupt, and everyone didn't care much about him.

However, people drinking tea and chatting recognize each other, and the old scholar just arrived in Pingyang a few days ago, and he makes a living by copying books for others. I don't talk much, and I run at both ends of the house on the street every day, and many people know it.

"Mr. Guo doesn't drink tea, does he have a business?"

The old scholar who was called Mr. Guo nodded silently, picked up the dilapidated bookcase and walked out of the teahouse.

The stall where he copied and wrote letters was near the garrison mansion.

"Mr. Guo is a good person, but he talks less." The tea guest said.

Dr. Tea interjected: "Scholar, it's normal to talk less, and he's an old scholar." ”

Chang Chang smiled and drank tea.

"The old scholar is good, he has a righteous life...... Judging by the way he talks to people, he was once rich, right?
