As a result, Qinglongzhai was eradicated, Zhao Dutou was arrested, Sizhen and his party just entered the Guangxi territory and became famous, and the next journey was carried out in an orderly manner, passing through the states and counties of Dingfan, originally planned not to alarm the government, but there were too many people in their group, and there will be officials along the road to meet and visit. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

Although Sizhen dressed up as a man, she was afraid of trouble, so the usual entertainment was sent by Lord Qin Du to go around, that's it, after a few trips, she also felt that it was too delayed, but those people were all needed to be appeased or co-opted, and it was impossible not to see them, so she could only walk patiently and slowly, just stop and go, and at the end of August, she finally arrived in Guilin City.

Outside the city gate, Guoan took the ministers of the Dingvassal and greeted him at Sanlipo outside the city.

As soon as he saw Sizhen, Guoan was sincerely frightened, bowed down and apologized: "I heard that Gege was in distress on the road, it was mismanaged by his subordinates, and I hope Gege will calm his anger." ”

Sizhen dismounted, helped up Guoan, and said with a smile: "Shi Boyan is serious, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, this matter is also the intention of the people below to provoke our relationship, we can't be fooled by them!" ”

Guoan has been prosecuted one after another.

Sizhen looked at the few people who were tied up and kneeling on the side of the road, thinking that these were the celebrities around the national security, but he didn't know it, and said in surprise: "Shibo, why are they tied up here?" ”

Guoan said respectfully: "After the subordinates learned about it, they immediately started to investigate this matter, but these dogs are quite secret, and it is not easy to find out the mastermind." Fortunately, with the blessing of the prince, a few of them asked their subordinates to take it, so that Gege understood that his subordinates were loyal, loyal to the prince and the emperor, and loyalty to the sun and the moon, but the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind did not stop...... The assassination of Gege was not instructed by his subordinates, but this matter was indeed widely implicated, so he asked Gege to have an idea. ”

He threw himself to the ground, took a breath and said, "No matter what, this matter started because of his subordinates, and his subordinates knew that their sins were unforgivable. ”

Sizhen understands that at this time, no matter whether Guoan really doesn't know about this matter at all, she can only act as if he doesn't know anything about it, after all, except for Qinglong Mountain, her later journey is safe and sound, Guoan is really focusing on investigating this matter, for the stability of the Dingfan, she must be of the same heart as Guoan, whether it is these people who are making trouble or not, he handed these people up, she only regarded these people as the culprits to investigate, and pointed the finger at them.

At such a time, and even for a long time in the future, there are still many places where she has to rely on national security, and it is better for him to be loyal than disloyal.

She helped Guoan up again, and said lightly: "Look at what Shibo said, this Dingvassal is now in your charge, although I have a reputation for being in charge of the king's affairs, but this ground matter is not as familiar as Shibo, what are you going to do, take out a charter, I nodded, wait for the imperial court to give Shibo the comfort materials this time, I will look at the landscape of Guilin again, and I will go back to Beijing to resume my life. Again, Uncle Shi is a veteran under my father's command, even my father also relies on you a lot, and you give this great gift to my niece, which makes my niece panic! Hurry up, please. ”

For Guoan, it is better to be motionless at this time, after all, the world belongs to the emperor, and the Dingfan still has a time when he can be used, at this time, even if Sizhen reprimands him a few words, and even demotes him to the top, as long as he does not order his head, this Dingfan is still in his control.

What's more, he is a veteran next to King Dingnan, King Dingnan is not thin on him, he didn't listen to the muttering of those people around him, but he didn't plan to kill the people of the Kong family at all, those things were done behind his back, speaking of which, he was loyal to the Kong family and the court.

What he was worried about was that this feudal domain was handed back to Zhen Gege, could she afford it?

When he heard that Sizhen was just coming to see it, Guoan was immediately relieved, but he still followed the rules and respected Sizhen, and repeatedly asked her to take ideas.

Seeing that the two of them excused each other, a handsome boy with a fan next to Guoan glanced at those people and said to Sizhen: "These people have also made a lot of military exploits, when they drove Li Dingguo out, they all made great efforts, according to what their subordinates thought, they committed such a big crime, it is unforgivable, but if Gege is willing, his subordinates have a reluctant request, and hope that Gege will not offend their family and let their family live." ”

Sizhen saw that he was handsome, his expression was feminine, and his facial features were quite similar to Guoan's eyebrows, so he thought that he should be Guoan's son-in-law, the third son.

But she didn't know, looked at Guoan and asked softly, "Shibo, who is this?" ”

Guoan hurriedly surrendered his hand: "This is a dog, the third in the family, Gege calls him San Lang." As he spoke, he turned around and reprimanded the San Lang: "I am talking to Gege on business, how can you intervene?" ”

Seeing that San Lang had a somewhat arrogant and disrespectful look, Sizhen's heart turned, and he understood that he felt that it was their family who made efforts to set the clan, and Sizhen was a woman, and he had to press them, and he was not very convinced, so he deliberately made it so difficult for her, if she did not allow it, she would inevitably fall into a reputation of being unkind and unkind, if she agreed, after being passed on by everyone, she would say that she was a woman's kindness, weak and deceitful, and in the future, if she wanted to manage these people, I am afraid it would be difficult to establish prestige.

For a while, Sizhen was in a dilemma and groaned slightly.

Before the third prince showed a smug expression, Sizhen smiled and said to Guoan: "As I said just now, this feudal domain is Shibo to help me take care of it, and I also ask Shibo to work more and get a charter out, as for these people to be killed or released, it is all up to Shibo to make the decision, and I will never have the slightest disagreement with Shibo about this." ”

Guoan looked at the people and kicked at one of them: "They dare to assassinate Gege and Lord Qincha, they are really bold, and they deserve death." Even if the people in the family don't know, they can't be spared, whether they are men or women, they are all sentenced to exile. ”

Sizhen has a good time: "Everything is arranged by Shibo." ”

Guoan ordered: "Pull them back, and ask them at the entrance of the vegetable market in three days, so that everyone in the Dingfang will know that if anyone is disrespectful to Gege and is not good for Lord Qincha, they will end up with them." ”

Then, he stretched out his finger and pointed at the officials of the Dingfan, and said to Sizhen with a smile: "Come, come, Shibo will introduce you to the lords of the Dingfan......

The third prince interjected: "Father, Gege and they have been driving all the way, it is better to invite Gege and them to go into the city to rest and rest, and wait for the reception banquet, and then introduce Gege and Lord Qincha." ”

Guoan's hand changed direction: "Yes, yes, please also ask Gege to get in the car, and when the banquet is over, the subordinates will slowly introduce Gege." ”

Sizhen was as good as a stream, and boarded the carriage arranged for her by Guoan.

After all, everyone in the Dingfan knew that she was a woman, and even though she was dressed in men's clothes, if she walked through the streets on horseback, she would inevitably cause a lot of discussion.

**

Returning to Dingnan Wangfu again, Sizhen was embarrassed.

The fire four years ago, did not completely burn down the Dingnan Palace, Guoan with a large team of people from Nanning rushed to the rescue, not only forced Li Dingguo out of Guilin, but also let people put out the fire, later, the imperial court and special appropriation, let him send someone to be responsible for repairing the palace next to the Duxiu Peak, after several years of construction, occupy the garden three miles of the Dingnan Palace, the pavilion platform, the pavilion and the pavilion hall have basically been restored to their original appearance.

Looking at the neat bluestone city wall outside the palace, the luxurious and sturdy old appearance, Sizhen couldn't say the feeling in his heart.

She grew up in the military camp since she was a child, and followed her father's army all over the world as her home, until she arrived in Guilin, she had a fixed residence, she naively thought that this luxurious and spacious palace would be their eternal home, and their family would love each other forever.

Dingnan Palace, was originally the Jingjiang Mansion of the former Ming Dynasty, it is said that it took 12 years to build alone, although it has changed hands several times in the turbulent years, after several twists and turns, but it is still so magnificent.

It's just that the carved fence and jade masonry are still there, but there are already things everywhere!

Sizhen took a deep breath, and the air was filled with the rich fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which reminded her of the beauty couch she slept on under the window of the warm pavilion when she was a child.

At that time, she and her brother spent their happiest childhood here...... Now, no matter the grass or trees, or the pavilions, or even the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the night breeze, the past is laid out in front of her like a picture scroll.

"Gege still remembers the time when the prince practiced guns here?"

Hearing Bai Yansong's familiar voice, Sizhen turned her head in surprise: "Cousin is here?" ”

The lanterns under the corridor were blown by the wind, the lights were beating, and Bai Yansong's handsome and square face flickered in light and dark.

He sighed slightly, not two days after Gege left, the emperor asked him to lead some masters to set off, so that they must go to the border of Guangxi first, secretly spy on the news, and be sure to keep Gege safe. If they hadn't helped in secret, Guoan's subordinates wouldn't have known how many bad tricks they would have made.

At that time, when he heard that Gege and they passed from Qinglong Mountain overnight, he was extremely worried, but fortunately Gege did not have an accident.

But there is no need to tell Gege about these things.

Bai Yansong said with a smile: "I was ordered by the emperor to come to protect Gege, and the emperor explained, if Gege has a little difference, he will not be spared." ”

Sizhen thought of Fulin's scorching and cold gaze, and smiled: "The emperor is too worried, in this Guilin city, but our Confucian family's territory, what can I do?" ”

"Gege, don't think that if you enter this Guilin City, you can sit back and relax." Bai Yansong saw that Sizhen was unimpressed, and hurriedly reminded, "You are here, there are too many variables for the officials of the Ding Domain, for them, the best way to keep their current wealth is to kill you." ”
