"Good boy!"

The Duchess of the Protector smiled tearfully, stroked his head, helped him up, and looked at him carefully. Then the tears couldn't help rolling out again, she hurriedly wiped the silk away, and said with a smile: "I won't tell you more, now I want someone to go to the palace to deliver a letter to your mother, you go and talk to your grandfather." ”

Huo Jue nodded when he heard this, and went into the study with the Duke of Protector, and some of the rest went to the flower hall with the Duchess of Protector, while others stayed outside the door and waited.

Huo Jue made a gesture to the protector and said, "Yu'er will not be a grandson from now on, and this time I came to ask my grandfather for something." Because I don't want to be willing to fall, I want to find an errand under my grandfather at present, and I can work hard in the future, so as to have a place in this Dayin Dynasty. ”

Protecting the country: "Child, aren't you going to attack back?" ”

Huo Jue smiled: "I killed someone by mistake, and the emperor dethroned me." If I go back like this, what will I do to serve the hearts of the people of the world? ”

"That's right." The Protector nodded, "You have to eat the rice in one bite." It's rare that at your age, you can calm down this breath, and it's good to show up in Beijing first! Since the emperor has degraded you as a commoner, then you will live your life as a commoner and earn a reputation for yourself! - What do you want?! With your past exploits in the East China Sea, it's no problem to directly join the generals! ”

Huo Jue said: "Grandpa's love and care are appreciated, but not many people in the world know that I have made military exploits in the East China Sea, and it is difficult to convince people to climb such a high position as soon as I come." It is also easy to arouse the vigilance of the Zheng family, and if it is used to arrest the grandfather for abusing his power, it will be bad. I think that any one of them at Jingshi Wharf will be successful. ”

The Protector said, "It's also done." Most of the sons of the general are in office after the nobles, even if you are no longer the emperor's grandson, you are also my grandson, sitting in this position, no one will dare to say anything. After speaking, he patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be afraid of low positions, grandpa believes in you." It won't take long to climb to higher ground. ”

His gaze was full of meaning. There was still a faint flame rising.

Yin Yu is the common bloodline of the Huo family and the Yin family, and now the Yin family doesn't want him, he Huo family wants it!

"Huo Xiu!" He shouted loudly, and a handsome man soon entered the door. When he came to him, he bent down and said, "What does Grandpa Guo command?" ”

The Lord Protector handed him the paperwork in his hand: "Early tomorrow morning." You send this to the military department. Let them take office right away! Tell them that if there is any slackness, I will turn my face and not recognize people! ”

"Little obedience!" Huo Xiu said with a smile. Bow down.

The night was already a little late, and there was the occasional chirping of insects outside the window. When spring arrives, there are more such sounds.

Xie Wan was copying a few pages of the scriptures, looking at the missing engravings on the table, and was about to call Yuxue to clean it up, when someone suddenly heard a voice outside the door.

"Yuxue, who's coming?"

Yuxue turned in, looked at her and said, "It's Xiao Huo, he said he had something to say to the girl." ”

Xie Wan thought for a moment and put down the pen, "Let him come in." ”

Huo Jue walked in, Xie Wan pointed to the chair opposite the bookcase, and then said, "It's so late, what's the matter?" ”

Huo Jue sat down and didn't rush to speak, but looked at her in the light for a while before saying, "Can I tell you alone?" ”

Xie Wan thought for a while, let Yuxue go down, and then looked at him with raised eyebrows.

Huo Jue hooked the corners of his lips and said, "I'm here to ask for my resignation." ”

"Oh?" Xie Wan put aside the written scriptures and was not very surprised. Of course, it is impossible for a person like him to stay by her side for the rest of his life, and even if he didn't say it, she could see that he was an eagle in a stinging position, and it was only a matter of time before he left. She said casually: "What kind of success have you achieved?" ”

Huo Jue said: "The garrison camp of the Beijing Division Wharf under the Fifth Military Mansion is a small general. ”

The movement in Xie Wan's hand paused, and she paused for about half a moment before she raised her head, her eyes deep and condensed, "The dock garrison barracks?" That's under the command of the protector Huoda, who are you? ”

"Yin Yu." He said calmly. The expression on his face was still kind and kind, "I am Yin Yu." ”

The world suddenly fell silent, and there was no even the sound of insects. Xie Wan looked at the person in front of him steadily, and it took a long time to regain his breath.

She had suspected that Huo Yu's identity was correct, but she never thought that he would be Yin Yu. It's not that I can't think of it, but I don't dare to think about it. Yin Yu should be in Jingshi, not on the mountain road in Qingyuan Prefecture, and it is impossible for her to meet and save her.

That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?

"What evidence do you have?"

"I have this." He took out two seals from his bosom and set them in front of him.

Xie Wan took a look, and it was engraved with "Taisun Yuyin". Smelled it, it was the smell of Danzhu.

She pushed the seal back, looked at him and said, "Why I hid it before, I can probably know." But why are you telling me again now? ”

Her gaze was also calm, even if he was Yin Yu, she didn't feel that she should lose control of her emotions because of him.

"Because I don't want to lie to you, even if I can still make up a reason to quit, but one day you'll know who I am. Instead of letting you discover me, I'll take the initiative to tell you. When he said this, he looked at Xie Wan, and after he finished speaking, he looked at the Songgang map that she carried and hung on the wall, "Moreover, it's not a shameful thing that I'm Yin Yu, I always have my life to live." ”

Xie Wan lowered his eyes and watched the lights swaying in front of him.

"Then congratulations, you can finally get rid of the days of being on the run." She raised her lips, her eyes smiling rather than smiling, "Since you can have the courage to show your face at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there should be something strange about being abolished in the first place, right?" Is someone plotting against you? ”

He stared at her for a moment and said, "You really haven't forgotten to find out the news. ”

Xie Wan curled his lips and lowered his eyes.

He continued: "I would also like to know who is framing me. Yin Hao's words provoked me that day, but I didn't pay attention to it, and I didn't pull out my sword to stab him. It was only because of his radical words that the guards around him glared at him, and he grabbed the handle and drew his sword to stab me first, so I had to draw the guard's sword and make a few moves against him. Then, in the midst of the fight, I don't know why he suddenly stood still, and I couldn't hold back, and the blade that slashed across his chest stabbed him.

"Because I didn't have the heart to hurt him, the blade of the sword was stretched out, and the wound was not very deep, but it was half a foot long. Afterwards, the doctor also said that it did not hurt the vital point, and it would be raised for a month. But three days later, he died suddenly. There were no signs of poisoning or assassination at the scene, but even so, I was still the culprit. And then I was deposed like that. ”

"So, like you, I also have revenge." He turned his head to look at her, the corners of his lips slightly hooked helplessly, "It's just that you know where your enemy is, who he is, and I don't know anything yet." ”

The light in front of him was a little dim, Xie Wan picked up the silver skewer next to him and pulled out the wick a little, then wiped the skewer with gauze, and said, "In this way, you also have a purpose in entering the barracks." ”

"That's right." He said briefly.

Then stood up, "I'll come again tomorrow, say goodbye to everyone, and then leave, if you have anything, you can come to the Yin Mansion in Durian Hutong to find me." After speaking, he glanced at her again, "Also, don't run out if you have nothing to do, thinking that you are still a child." ”

Xie Wan didn't notice anything unusual about his words at the end, but he was distracted by the words Durian Hutong, which already had Yin Mansion, so it seemed that when she didn't know it, he had quietly laid everything out.

However, for a person who was once cultivated as a crown prince, a little bit of his own way is nothing. If he did nothing but lurk around her, he would have made her suspicious.

She raised her lips and looked at him, "Good, good luck." ”

He was noncommittal, looked at the Songgang diagram on the wall again, and walked out.

Xie Wan stood up and looked at the empty doorway, and suddenly a trace of loss slipped through his heart.

The next day, he really came to her again to ask for his resignation, this time in front of Luo Juqian and them, and the reason was that he had found another errand, but he didn't say where. This is really a lazy liar, even if he hides people's eyes and ears, he doesn't want to make up other reasons.

Fortunately, everyone didn't ask in detail, because job hopping is a very common thing. He is different from Qian Zhuang, Qian Zhuang was personally pulled out by Xie Wan when he was in decline, and he is naturally determined to serve Xie Wan for the rest of his life. A person like Huo Wan has a background at a glance, although Xie Wan is good, he is a woman after all, and it is normal for him to have other ambitions.

After he left, Qian Zhuang and Luo Juju all breathed a sigh of relief. Xie Wan smiled and asked why, Qian Zhuang touched his face and said: "It's so good-looking, with him, I'm always worried that I won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law for the rest of my life." ”

Everyone laughed, but they lifted this layer again.

There was less discussion of Cao Yun in the city during this time, perhaps because there was still no progress, but the spring festival began at this time, Xie Wan took advantage of the wind to calm down, and temporarily turned his mind to the matter of buying a house.

As the prince of the supervising state, the East Palace naturally did not dare to slack off on such a major event as Chunfu, and as the Zhan Shifu who assisted the prince, Xie Rong was reporting to the prince at the moment about the proposal in the cabinet to select the topic for the palace examination.

The prince sat behind the imperial case, seemingly absent-minded, holding a pen and playing with it in his hand.

Seeing this, Xie Rong stopped talking and lowered his hand to the side.

The great eunuch Cui Fu looked at the prince from the side for a long time, and when he saw that he was still in the fugue, he took the ginseng tea in the hands of the palace maid and stepped forward, "Your Highness is tired?" ”

The prince glanced at the tea in front of him, slowly raised it to his lips, didn't drink it, stopped and put it down, and looked at Xie Rong: "What's the problem of Caoyun's case this time?" ”

Xie Rong paused and said: "According to Dali Temple, there has been some progress in the matter, but it is not appropriate to disclose the specifics. However, he also gave something to say, saying that he would try to close the case before the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”

The prince stared at the ground, and the pen in his hand was suddenly thrown on the table by him.

A room full of people didn't dare to come out, Xie Rong raised his head when he heard the sound, and quickly lowered his head calmly. (To be continued.) )
