Stratagem begins

The sky was gray and hazy, the sun was hidden behind the clouds, and there was only a wisp of obscurantist light at first, and the wind blew the black clouds, and the sunlight gradually broke through the clouds, dyeing the gray clouds around it into a brilliant one, and for a time the sun was shining brightly, and the golden light was flourishing.

Bai Hanyan carefully put the colorful butterfly in his sleeve, straightened his clothes, re-pinched the mustache on his lips, and walked behind Duan Changge without squinting, and the two of them had already walked not far from Changfu.

Duan Changge glanced back at Bai Hanyan, and when he saw that she was pink, he couldn't help but be more and more happy, but when he turned his eyes, he remembered that she was wronged and revenge, and the revenge had not been avenged, but she didn't know the undercurrent..., and suddenly the joy in Duan Changge's heart was like a cold water pouring down, and he couldn't help but stop.

Bai Hanyan saw him stop suddenly, stepped forward and walked a few steps, looked up at him in surprise, and asked, "Why don't you leave, I'm just afraid that Changde's family is waiting for the two of us to go back, and there is a fierce battle right now." ”

Duan Changge suddenly reached out and pulled her arm, and pulled her into an alley in a flash, the two of them hid on the side of the alley, Duan Changge gently pulled the soft, and couldn't help but feel sad: "Cold smoke, because your father's case involves a lot, it is not a day and night that can be wronged, you have to see everything thoroughly, remember not to force it." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at him with a frown, his eyes were suspicious, and he said tentatively: "Changge, do you know something?" ”

For a long time, for a long time, Duan Changge let out a suppressed sigh in his throat, hugging Bai Hanyan tightly into his arms, such a rapid force, almost pinched her bones into his own flesh and blood, he sighed: "That's it, it was fateful to meet you, I don't know why God let me meet you, and let me love you so much." I should make this fate, and fight with you, and see what happens? ”

Bai Hanyan lay in his arms, raised his eyes to look at him, only to feel that after he returned from the reed forest, what he said became more and more strange, and he couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, and asked, "Changge, what's wrong with you today, why are you saying so strange?" ”

She was facing his fluttering phoenix eyes, and for a while there were a thousand words in her heart that she wanted to ask him, but she couldn't speak for a long time, his face was cold and cold, and her eyes were sad, Bai Hanyan's heart couldn't help but move, and her black eyes were full of doubts, Duan Changge suddenly turned his eyes, wrapped in a little affection, and looked at me and her faintly, and said: "I, Duan Changge, have galloped on the battlefield all my life, and have never disdained the open and secret battles of officialdom, and the power of the imperial organs, so since I returned to the dynasty, I have stayed away from the capital and guarded Guiyang alone, and swore never to set foot in the capital and seek power with others." , the ups and downs of officialdom, even when your father came to look for me...... I have not yet answered. ”

Suddenly hearing this, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but open his eyes in shock, stunned for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he was in Guiyang, Cangli had said that his father had come to look for Duan Changge, but he only said half of the words, but he didn't expect this matter to be true!

"What is my father looking for you to enter Beijing?" The fog under Bai Hanyan's eyes was stricken, and the starry eyes that were originally as clear as water appeared, but they were as dark and bottomless as a deep well, and he asked with a pain in his heart.

Duan Changge slowly loosened her waist and raised her eyes to look at the great mountains and rivers in the direction of the capital, like a picture scroll slowly unfolding, but his eyes were cold, and there was a trace of coldness: "The scenery of the capital seems to be beautiful, but this secret intrigue is something I never disdain, and most of the officials in Beijing are ups and downs in their desire for power and profit, and it is difficult for Qing officials to allow it." Your father allowed me to want to enter Beijing in order to cleanse the officialdom. Duan Changge shook his head with a sneer, turned his eyes to look at the white cold smoke full of tears, sighed, raised his finger to wipe her tears, and sighed: "Although your father is honest and upright, since ancient times, which dynasty and generation, the feet of the Son of Heaven are not pulling parties for personal gain, fighting openly and secretly, which official is really frank all his life, and with the power of your father, how can he turn the tide and not change such an officialdom?" ”

Bai Hanyan was speechless, her father's good intentions, she could understand, she bit her lip and said with difficulty: "When did my father find you?" ”

"Five years ago." Duan Changge told the truth, leaned over and hugged her again, sighed in her ear, and his voice was slightly apologetic: "At that time, I had not yet taken over the official rank, just a fictitious position to fight on the battlefield, General Dragon and Tiger, for your father's request to let me enter Beijing, I scoffed at the time and did not agree, now that I think about it, at that time, your father already knew that something would happen in Beijing, but he was alone, but he chose me alone, which was a trust in me, but I didn't know the depth of it and rejected him, maybe at that time, I ...... If I had answered him, your father's case might have taken a different turn, and it would have ended differently. ”

Bai Hanyan's heart had already been cut like a knife, and tears flowed down his face, and the figure of the scarlet shirt in his eyes was blurred.

Duan Changge said again: "Hanyan, your father's unjust case may be a game in which he broke the boat, and the tens of millions of taels of tax silver are a game within a game that he left to you, it depends on how you find it." ”

Suddenly, Bai Hanyan was so sad that her heart hurt, and she couldn't help crying: "It's all my uselessness, it's been many years, and I still haven't found out what the origin of my father's case is, and who is the person behind it?" Where is the silver that my father left behind with all his painstaking calculations, I don't have the slightest clue, I am really useless for Changge! ”

Duan Changge looked at the tears in her eyes, his heart was full of pity, his arms hugged her tightly, the temperature of his palm burned to her heart through the clothes, so that she gradually calmed down the surging emotions, raised her head slightly, there were tears in the corners of her eyes, Duan Changge wiped the tears on her face with her wide sleeves in distress, and said softly: "Don't worry, you will safely hand over the years to come with you and me together." ”

This sentence seems to weigh a thousand pounds, like a promise, and it is also an oath.

Bai Hanyan was stunned, looking blankly at his mind, Duan Changge picked up her face and stroked it in the palm of her hand, the affection in her eyes was almost indulgent, and then promised: "I have made up my mind, from today on, you and I will work together to find out the cause of this case, return your father's innocence, and return justice in this world a clean slate, whether it is a trick or a disaster, or wind or rain, I will carry it for you, you just need to live a stable life under my wings." After this case is settled, I will resign and go into hiding, and you and I will travel all over the world together, okay? ”

Duan Changge's words made Bai Hanyan only feel a stirring in her heart, a tide of surges, she only felt that the blood was constantly surging by his words, so that her skin was burning, her eyes were constantly sore, his words were more heart-warming than the best things in the world, she knew that when she met Duan Changge in this life, this life was enough...

"Okay." She gently opened her mouth to agree to him, tears flowed hotly, Duan Changge wiped it for her with a smile, and there was tenderness in her eyes.

The two stepped into the gate of Changfu one after the other, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Chang De sat on the top of the main hall, looked at Duan Changge with cold eyes, his expression was cold, and he said bluntly: "Lord Duan broke into my wife's mourning hall at night, but it doesn't make sense!" ”

Changde's straightforwardness made Bai Hanyan a little surprised, but what surprised her even more was the man sitting alone drinking tea at the bottom of the hall, he had been dressed all his life, his eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like stars, and his expression was a little arrogant and indifferent, Bai Hanyan didn't feel that a danger was coming towards Duan Changge, she couldn't help but shudder, it happened that the man dropped the teacup and turned his head to look at her, and his eyes were clearly bloodthirsty and ruthless!

Bai Hanyan's heart trembled, what did Ji Bangyue want to do?

Duan Changge quietly stretched his brows, smiled slightly, turned his eyes to look at Ji Bangyue, raised his legs and walked to the other side of the hall, bent over to sit on the chair, took a cup of tea bottle and smacked it, and said lightly: "Hmm, what if you break in?" ”

Changde stood up with his arrogance, as if Duan Changge had killed his whole family, he looked at each other angrily, trembling with anger, and slapped his palm on the desk with a loud sound, Duan Changge was unmoved, staring at his red palm, frowning slightly, and feeling a little pain for him.

Chang De looked at his casual expression, and couldn't help but be even more angry, and reprimanded: "Lord Duan, what you said is so indifferent, but you put me in your eyes?" ”

Duan Changge reclined on the chair, the sunlight cast bright spots on his face, he squinted his eyes, as if he was laughing, but his tone was quite unkind: "What, Mrs. Chang's mourning hall official can't go?" Isn't there some secret hidden there, or someone is hiding..."

"You..." Chang De choked for a while, he didn't know how to answer, squinted at him and only felt that his arrival was wrong, and suddenly, his face turned pale and cold sweat was dripping, could this long song come with holy will!

"Lord Duan, no matter how you break into the mourning hall at night to disturb the rest of the deceased, it is always unruly." Ji Wanyue raised her eyebrows slightly, and her tone was light.

Duan Changge's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of clouds, but he still smiled gently, tilted his head and dropped the teacup and shook his head and sighed: "Lord Ji really wronged the official, he stayed in Changfu last night, the official has always recognized the bed, and the bed board in the guest room is extremely hard, the official can't sleep after turning it over, and suddenly feels that there are thieves on the eaves, the official doesn't want to meddle in things, and I'm afraid that Lord Chang will lose something important, so he followed, but this one, I really found a cat greasy... Gee! ”

Duan Changge's two fluttering sighs made Chang De's heart tremble, and even Ji Bangyue seemed to be interested, raised his eyes and asked, "Then what did Lord Duan find?" ”

Duan Changge raised his lips evilly, his eyes flickered, as if he was teasing and provocative, the corners of his mouth with infinite charm curved with endless ridicule, but his eyes stared at Changde's eyes meaningfully, Changde was stared at by him and his heart was empty, and he was sweating for a while.

After a long time, Duan Changge said lightly: "I fought with that person, as if I had knocked something down from him. ”

"What's that?" Ji Bangyue rolled her eyes coldly and asked in a deep voice.

"It's late at night, I can't see it clearly, it's probably a blood-red thing." Duan Changge's faint words made Changde's face lose blood in an instant, and he almost fell off the chair, Duan Changge glanced at him and covered his lips and chuckled.

"What's that?" Ji Wanyue frowned slightly, a little curious.

Even Bai Hanyan, who was standing on the side and bowing his head, couldn't help but wonder, is what this long song said at the moment true or false?

Duan Changge pretended to be silent, raised his hand to hold the cup and took another sip of tea, but suddenly raised his head and suddenly looked at the first place, his expression changed, and he suddenly asked gloomily: "Why, isn't Lord Chang curious about what it is?" ”
