"Then what the county keeper said yesterday, are you willing to help me out of the siege?" I asked suddenly.

He was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't want to help you out of the siege, but I really can't do it!" ”

"Why?"

"Ahem...... Looks like you've really forgotten everything," he patted his chest as if choked on my ignorance. After patting, he stood up and walked to the door to look out, closed the door carefully, and walked back to the edge of the collapse, before he said in a deep voice, "Who are you going to come in a few days?" It's Li Zhengyue, the imperial eunuch of the dynasty! On the surface, it seems to be a routine inspection of the political achievements and virtues of the county guards in various places, but I heard that Xianyang City will immediately go to Hedong, and this Hedong is not an important place, so what are you doing here? You can't just come to play! ”

Seeing that I didn't know what to do, he said helplessly: "In short, the old man hopes that you can respond to him when he comes, probably on the one hand, to probe the other party's true intentions and see if you can get any first-hand information from the imperial court, and on the other hand, once there is really something wrong and someone stabs you in the back, you can also respond skillfully and appropriately." ”

"Since you know so well, isn't it the same if it's up to you to respond?" I listened to him speak eloquently, and I couldn't help but ask strangely.

He frowned, scratched his head, and said, "This ...... I'm not interested in the affairs of the court and politics at all, and you have always accompanied the county keeper to deal with them. It's okay for me to talk in private, and it's okay to go to the court with people, talk about it, and so on. ”

When I heard this, I laughed and said, "I still remember the meaning of this yang and yin, you are hurting me!" ”

"Haha!" Qin Qi also laughed, "Look, it's a person like you who is as careful as a hair that can do that kind of errand!" ”

"Hehe, just kidding, thank you for telling me this, I've got a point in my heart." I said it sincerely.

"Don't, don't say thank you, it's not in your style." Qin Qi waved his hand.

"I used to ......," I heard him say, and I had some feelings before, and I couldn't help but hesitate to ask, "Isn't it a little annoying?" ”

When he heard me say this, he looked very surprised, and stared at me for a long time before saying, "You, you are not annoying, you are too smart, you are outrageously smart, you know! Until now, I can't believe that you really forgot everything, and in the eyes of outsiders, you do everything with consideration, and you are a rather scary person! Because I am afraid, I will subconsciously stay away. ”

"Including Sang Qing and Yue Bi?" I asked suddenly.

"The two of them," Qin Qi's gaze cast into the air, as if he was thinking, and said after a while, "the situation is a little different, I can't tell." ”

"What does that mean?"

"You can realize it yourself, you will have a long time to deal with them in the future!" But he kept it secret.

"All right," I said, standing up and smiling, "I've asked all I wanted." ”

He also jumped down, spread his hands, and said, "Okay, if you have anything else to know, just come to me, and next time it's better to catch up with me when I'm not working, so I can have tea!" ”

"Okay!" I put on a grateful smile, turned around and went out, leaving the courtyard of the Qin period.

After walking a few steps, I saw Kuo Ji standing in the courtyard, with his head down as if he was looking for something, constantly turning in circles, obviously waiting for me with some anxiety.

"Is the tip of your nose missing?" I shouted teasingly.

When he saw me walking over, he was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him and said, "Oh, great, Childe has finally come out!" ”

I was a little puzzled and smiled and asked, "What for?" Could it be that Qin Qi can still eat me! ”

"Not really," he said, frowning, "but he's the only one in this house who can provoke you!" ”

I was surprised to hear this, and asked, "I think others are very good, very simple, and have a good temper, how can they provoke me?" ”

"I don't know, anyway, the few times I've seen you lose your temper in the past few years is because of him." Ji Ji said cautiously as he observed my face.

I was really surprised by this, and although I didn't say anything more, I drew a big question mark in my heart.

Five days passed in a flash, during which the palace was busy receiving envoys, no one had time to pay attention to me, and I did not find a chance to talk to anyone, the only progress was that the injury had completely healed, and there was no feeling of discomfort.

But I knew in my heart that the calmer I was, the more something big was about to happen!

Sure enough, early in the morning of the envoy's visit, the county warden came to me in a hurry.

"Mo Yan, I heard the doctor say that you are completely fine!" He shouted as soon as he entered.

I quickly stood up and greeted him, and replied as I saluted, "Yes, it's all right!" ”

"Yes!" He was overjoyed, patted me on the shoulder and said, "Then it's up to you tonight!" "The eyes are full of appreciation and anticipation.

"Lord Gunsho," I said after a moment's hesitation, but I bowed my hand, "I'm afraid I've disappointed my lord this time." ”

"Ahh He was taken aback and asked, "Why?" ”

"Because...... I still can't think of anything, and it would be a great sin to delay the important things of the adults by indiscriminately filling up the numbers! "I'll be honest.

"This ......" Lord County Guard was obviously a little difficult to accept, and he turned around the room a few times with some restlessness, before he walked straight up to me again, stared into my eyes and said, "Mo Yan, you have been in the mansion for so many years, how do I treat you?" ”

I was stunned, of course I don't remember the past, but just from the current brocade clothes and food, and the style I felt during the banquet, I know how much this county keeper values me. Immediately leaned over and said, "My lord is as important as a mountain to Mo Yan'en!" ”

"Well, I mean, you've never let me down over the years, but why did you do such a thing this time?" His eyes were blazing, full of speculation.

I immediately understood, knowing that he meant that I was faking my illness. hurriedly explained: "My lord's words are wrong, Mo Yan has no reason to deceive my lord, this time I am really powerless." ”

"How can it be!" The county keeper's voice immediately rose an octave: "The envoy is coming tonight, and this meeting is very important to me!" Now you tell me there's nothing you can do! You told me you couldn't do anything! ”

Because of the facts that Qin Qi said, I already fully understood the reason for his anger, and immediately bowed to the ground, and said sincerely: "Mo Yan has failed your lord, and the sin is unforgivable!" ”

"You!" He was also a little unexpected, and after a long pause, he leaned down, put his arm on my shoulder, and asked, "Could it be that you have something to ask me for?" If that's the case, but it doesn't hurt to say it, jewelry, gold and jade, fragrant car beauties, whatever you want! Even if you say that you want to get a half-official position, with the connections I have accumulated over the years, it is not impossible! ”

Speaking of which, I raised my head and looked at him calmly, helpless in my heart, but still said word by word: "Mo Yan is really difficult to obey!" ”

"You!" The warden took two steps back, glared at me incredulously, his gaze changed from shock to anger, from anger to cold, and after a moment, he brushed his sleeves away. (To be continued.) )
