Bai Xiaofu obediently closed his eyes as if he was bewitched, and fell asleep after a while.

When the sound of steady breathing came, Jiang Zhen turned his head to look at Bai Xiaofu who was asleep with his face on his side, stood up and walked to Bai Xiaofu, gently brushed Bai Xiaofu's warm yellow cheeks reflected by the candlelight with his fingers, and put the blanket on Bai Xiaofu again, before going back to continue working.

When Bai Xiaofu woke up the next morning, Jiang Zhen hadn't woken up yet, this was the first time that Jiang Zhen woke up later than Bai Xiaofu. Bai Xiaofu looked at Jiang Zhen's heavy dark circles, quietly got out of bed, got dressed and gave Jiang Zhen water for washing, and went downstairs to find a shop, Xiao Er received two breakfasts and brought them to the house, sat on a chair and looked at the plan Jiang Zhen made last night.

After all, Jiang Zhen is the first time to do it, even if he is talented and intelligent, he is not as easy as Bai Xiaofu can do, because he has stayed in the palace all the year round and does not know much about the life of people outside the palace, so he can only operate according to what he learned from Bai Xiaofu, and he naturally does not think as meticulously as Bai Xiaofu, but he is attentive enough, looking at the pile of paper on the table, Bai Xiaofu will be meticulous and standardized in planning and accounting, and then pick up a stack of papers piled on the table, and look at it, it is a draft made by Jiang Zhen, Jiang Zhen obviously wrote down the steps and directions that Bai Xiaofu had done before, and the records were standardized and detailed.

Looking at this stack of papers that might cost Jiang Zhen a night's time, Bai Xiaofu smiled with some relief, not because of Jiang Zhen's cleverness, but because Jiang Zhen is finally a person, a person with human feelings who can think about others.

A few days later, it was Jiang Zhen's turn to keep vigil with another person on this day, and as soon as he arrived at the inn where he was going to settle down today, Jiang Zhen gave a given which room in the inn where the window was facing the goods, since that time Jiang Zhen worked for Bai Xiaofu for one night, Jiang Zhen almost barely survived the next day, Bai Xiaofu never let Jiang Zhen help him again, his attitude was very resolute, Jiang Zhen was also afraid that he would fall to Bai Xiaofu because he was unstable on horseback during the day, and he no longer asked for help.

That night, Bai Xiaofu still finished settling accounts as usual and planned to rest, only then did he find that he had formed a habit of living with Jiang Zhen for a long time, when Jiang Zhen was not around, he felt empty, and the house was empty without a trace of warmth, Bai Xiaofu wanted to breathe and soothe his emotions, so he opened the window, stood in front of the window and stretched, today's moon is exceptionally round, the bright moonlight reflects the entire courtyard, look down the window, and see Jiang Zhen is looking up, looking at him, Bai Xiaofu also looked at Jiang Zhen quietly, the moonlight shone on the two of them, and the years were quiet.

During the morning meal, Bai Xiaofu saw the moon cakes on the table and asked everyone, "Today is fifteen?" ”

Qian Sanjin said with a smile: "Miss Tingzhi, you are too careless, you have forgotten such an important day as August 15, today is already August 16, although everyone is in the field and can't go home for the 15th, but our hearts are towards home, even if you make up for a 15th today, don't blame Miss Tingzhi." ”

The big guys are very kind to Bai Xiaofu, Bai Xiaofu tries to take everything into account on the road, many people pity and admire this little girl, and naturally there is no meaning to blame. Moreover, with the shopkeeper of Qian Sanjin opening his mouth, everyone has to give Qian Sanjin face even if they are a little uncomfortable, which can be regarded as thinking about Bai Xiaofu.

The big guy and very interesting, laughing and making a few words with each other, then satisfied to eat the moon cakes, the moon cakes are sweet and soft with red bean paste filling, everyone eats very happy.

Only Wu Gang took the moon cake and looked at it, but he didn't put it in his mouth, and the sadness in his eyes couldn't be dissolved.

As time went by, the weather was no longer hot, and gradually Bai Xiaofu and his party were about to arrive in the capital, and Bai Xiaofu had been paying attention to Jiang Zhen's mood for the past few days. Even if Jiang Zhen demonstrated very well, Bai Xiaofu could still see Jiang Zhen's irritability.

Jiang Zhen has been a little restless these days, the closer he gets to the capital, the more he can't control his feelings, the mania in his heart is desperate to find an exit, everything that he deliberately ignored before, now replays in his mind again and again, Concubine De and the emperor every time they think about it, Jiang Zhen has an urge to destroy everything.

Every night Jiang Zhen secretly got up and stood in front of the window with his fists clenched, Bai Xiaofu saw it in his eyes, watching Jiang Zhen's dark circles deepen day by day, and his heart was extremely distressed.

On this day, when Bai Xiaofu was about to fall asleep, he felt that Jiang Zhen was secretly going to get up again, Bai Xiaofu didn't know what he thought at that moment, so he leaned over to protect Jiang Zhen's even, gently patted Jiang Zhen's back and said: "Sleep, don't think too much, don't let meaningless thoughts trap you, it will be successful, sleep big brother." ”

Jiang Zhen kept his body that couldn't get up, staring blankly at Bai Xiaofu who didn't open his eyes, I don't know when his eyes were already full of tears, Jiang Zhen leaned down and hugged Bai Xiaofu in his arms tightly.

Tears burned the small shoulders through the thin obscene clothes, and the palm patted away, patting away the irritability in his heart, Jiang Zhen finally hugged Bai Xiaofu and fell asleep.

The next day, Jiang Zhen's state was much better, but he often talked to Bai Xiaofu about something before, but now he didn't have anything to say for a day, Qian Sanjin also secretly teased Bai Xiaofu in private, and asked Jiang Zhen if he had eaten anything unclean in the past few days, his face was so bad and he was long, and he didn't say a word like a stuffy gourd.

Jiang Zhen's face was tanned due to the wind and sun on the road, and because he had not taken care of his appearance carefully on the road, he was now even more bearded, and his eye expression had become resolute and steady, and he couldn't see the similarities with the four princes who were handsome and handsome before. Bai Xiaofu is not worried that Jiang Zhen will be recognized when he arrives in the capital, after all, the people who know Jiang Zhen in the capital are not ordinary people who can touch them if they want to. However, Qian Sanjin had to pass by the capital to make Bai Xiaofu feel suspicious, after all, merchants entering the capital have to pay a lot of customs duties, and the Beijing is strictly checked, if the goods transported this way are really medicinal materials, and if they are found to have resold medicinal materials to make war money, they will directly confiscate and confiscate the medicinal materials. Qian Sanjin seems to have a big backer in Beijing, but I can't guess who it is.

It is also close to the capital, and more and more rumors about the capital are heard. This afternoon, when I arrived at the inn where I was going to stay tonight, more than 30 people were exhausted from hurrying, and when they arrived at the inn, they first let the shopkeeper serve a few tables of dishes, and dozens of big men ate heartily in the lobby downstairs. There were also a few people sitting around eating, talking while eating.

"Hey, did you hear that? Wu Fang Geng, the squire of the Left Army, served as a grain and grass officer, and was robbed of grain and grass on the way, and his entire family was beheaded last month, and now I heard that Wu Fang Geng's body was going to be brought back to the frontier and hung on the city tower to deter soldiers who dared to ignore King's Landing. ”

"Some time ago, it was rumored, and I don't know if this martial party Geng didn't have a long brain, lost his military salary and secretly fled back to the capital, and was captured by the second prince, the second prince is really wise and martial, and the most dangerous place is the safest place to guess that Wu Fang Geng will flee to the vicinity of the capital, and dare not enter the city, and finally locked in the dense forest of the royal hunting ground outside the city, Daqi has the second prince is really a blessing for Daqi!"

Bai Xiaofu and Jiang Zhen happened to sit opposite Wu Gang, since the table began to talk, Wu Gang's attention was not on eating, and when the table was finished, Wu Gang also put down his hand and left his seat silently, and the dishes on the table did not move a few chopsticks. Everyone else was eating the food in front of them without paying too much attention, but Bai Xiaofu saw it in his eyes.

When he returned to the room in the evening, Bai Xiaofu frowned slightly and whispered to Jiang Zhen, "Does the eldest brother have any impression of this Wu Fanggeng, the squire of the Left Army?" ”

Jiang Zhen sat beside Bai Xiaofu and said in a low voice, "You are thinking about this afternoon." ”

Bai Xiaofu was not surprised that Jiang Zhen also noticed this, and continued: "Yes, I think this Wu Gang must have something to do with Wu Fang Geng. ”

Jiang Zhen frowned slightly and said: "This matter is indeed a bit strange, although I did not have much contact with officials outside the palace at that time, but the right soldier is the mother of the third prince, and now he is promoted to the secretary of the military department, but the noble has no real power, the military talisman is generally in the hands of the emperor, only the military talisman in Haiphong is in the hands of the Ji family, I heard that it was a decision issued in the edict of the first emperor, and everyone has no right to change it, but now with the expansion of the HNA The number and ability of the soldiers of the coastal defense army have also been greatly improved, This is also the reason why the emperor is so hostile to the Ji family. ”

Bai Xiaofu rarely heard Jiang Zhen introduce the inextricable connections, and seeing that Jiang Zhen's expression was very calm, he asked: "Then why did the emperor give that part of the military power of the customs to the Ji family?" ”

Jiang Zhen frowned and said: "No one knows, when the emperor was about to change the blood of the people in the court, almost all the henchmen promoted by the first emperor were removed." Even many eunuchs in the inner palace were secretly executed. ”

Bai Xiaofu felt incredible, the current emperor was on the throne, why did he dismiss all the loyal people left by his father, what must have happened at that time to make the current emperor make such a decision. At the same time, Bai Xiaofu also thought of a person, a person that Bai Xiaofu almost had to forget, his father-in-law.

But it's useless to think about it now. It's better to think about what is in front of you now.

Bai Xiaofu then returned to the topic, "Then this squire of the Left Soldier Department should be the person of the Third Prince?" ”

Jiang Zhen glanced at Bai Xiaofu, who was calmly returning to the topic, feeling that this person was cautiously and a little worried about his family affairs just now, showing a strong interest in his family affairs, but now it has become so fast, he is still waiting for Bai Xiaofu If he asks something that stings him, he must not show sadness to make Bai Xiaofu worried. But now don't worry.

Jiang Zhen felt helpless and a little cute about Bai Xiaofu like this, and sighed lightly and said: "This is not necessarily, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, although they are subordinates of the Ministry of War, they may not be the people of the Ministry of War." ”

Bai Xiaofu felt that what Jiang Zhen said was very right, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Could that be the second prince's person, otherwise the second prince would not have guessed the location of Wu Fang Geng's hiding so accurately." Although the direction guessed by the second prince is indeed pointing to the hunting ground, is there really such a coincidence? ”
