Ripple was in the room, watching Xuanyuan Zili come back angrily, still holding a woman in his hand, and quickly stood up in fright. If you look closely, it's still the girl in purple.

"Drink water." The emperor poured a cup of tea on the table for Liang Yue, who took it without saying a word and drank it. It took a while to hammer his chest before he regained his breath.

"What's going on?" Ripple asked curiously.

Liang Yue raised her head, looked at her innocent eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head: "I'm fine, it's just that I'm choking on something fast." Disturb the girl to rest. ”

After that, he turned around and was about to go out. Xuanyuan Zili hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, frowned, and said, "Where are you going?" ”

Liang Yue paused, turned around and said curiously: "I want to go back to my room, master, do you want me to rest here?" ”

Xuanyuan Zili hesitated for a moment, and slowly let go of Liang Yue's hand. Liang Yue turned around and walked out, only to find that Xuanyuan Zili followed her out of the room, and there was a great posture to accompany her back to the room.

"Master?" Liang Yue stopped and looked at Xuanyuan Zili suspiciously. Feng Xun in the courtyard was standing at the door of Liangyue's room, leaning lazily against the door and looking at them.

Xuanyuan Zili's face was not very good-looking, looked at Feng Xun, and said to Liangyue in a deep voice: "You are too close to him." ”

At this time, Liangyue should be reminded of the palace rules, in the palace rules, concubines cannot be too close to men with foreign surnames. She is good, she always goes in and out with Feng Xun, and she still eats the tea crisp that Feng Xun made for her? Well? What else can't be done? It's almost elope, right?

Liang Yue was stunned, lowered her head and thought about it, and said, "I almost forgot the distinction between dignity and inferiority in the palace. Your Majesty can have other people around him, but not around his concubines. I was wrong. ”

These words were plain and bland, but they choked Emperor Mingxuan. Yes, there are still ripples in his room, so Gu Liangyue is asking him if he wants to be fair? If there is a person by his side, she can also keep someone by his side? However, what she left behind was not an ordinary person, it was Feng Xun!

The emperor pursed his lips and said, "Then I send the ripples away, can you leave Feng Xun?" If you want to be fair, I can do it. ”

Liang Yue raised her eyebrows, shook her head and said, "The master is still as unkind as ever, Miss Ripple saved your life, can you send it away at will?" And, where are you going to send her? In the palace? The subordinates are taken care of by the palace master, and they are also like friends, and there is no reason to abandon friends at will. ”

Xuanyuanzi's face sank, and his eyes were as deep as looking at Liangyue in the sea. The latter saluted him, then turned and continued walking towards Feng Xun.

The emperor's fists clenched, and he didn't know what to say. He never knew how to speak, and every time he seemed to say something different from what he had in his heart, he always made people even more unhappy.

"Master." Peony stood beside her and sighed, "Master, if you want to regain the heart of the Liangyue master, you have to work harder." ”

Xuanyuan Zili was silent.

Liang Yue returned to the room, sat down at the table and continued to pour tea. Feng Xun stood aside, looking at Liang Yue and shaking his head.

"What's wrong?" Liang Yue raised her head and looked at Feng Xun curiously.

Feng Xun smiled and said, "I just looked at the appearance of the emperor, and I really cared about you." Partial to your mouth and unforgiving. If you go on like this, you don't know how long it will take. ”

Liang Yue pursed her lips and said, "It doesn't take too long, I can't stay in the palace for a few years." ”

After a trip back to the palace on a southern tour, there is only half a year left, and after getting through, she can return to the rivers and lakes. If Liang Yue cared about Xuanyuan Zili before, then now after so many things, Liang Yue feels that she seems to care more about herself. That's good, and the end won't be too miserable.

Feng Xun looked at her, was silent for a while, and laughed in a low voice: "It's okay." ”

"What?" Liang Yue didn't hear clearly, and looked up at Feng Xun to ask.

"It's nothing, when the 100 gold reward will begin, put on the veil again and go to the center of the city." Feng Xun said with a smile: "It is estimated that it will be very lively at night." ”

"Hmm."

…

At night, many torches were lit in the city, and the platform in the center of the city was illuminated. The people in the streets and alleys have moved closer to the center of the city, and in today's big battle, everyone knows that the city guards exist, and they also know that their city lord took the lead and eliminated all the horse thieves.

The corpses of the horse thieves were piled up, a total of more than 390 corpses, and a few small minions escaped.

These corpses were buried on a mountain in the suburbs, and the nameless mountain was named Horse Thief Mountain to commemorate the persecution of horse thieves in the past two years suffered by the people of Lingye City.

Nan Bugui stood on the stage, looked at the crowd of people below, took a deep breath, knelt down heavily at them, and kowtowed.

The people were in an uproar, shocked by the action of Nan Bugui, and none of the thousands of people could say anything. He just looked at the city lord blankly after saluting, stood up and said, "In the past two years, Nan has been sorry for everyone. ”

"The horse thieves have hurt you, some have lost their money, some have lost their families, but Nan can only watch and do nothing for the past two years, I'm really sorry."

Liang Yue and the others stood in an inconspicuous corner, watching Nan Bu Return's movements, and sighed a little.

Nan Bugui continued: "Nan Mou is not trying to harm everyone, but when Nan Mou sat on the position of the city lord two years ago, the city guard army was too weak, and the number of people was 2,000, I am afraid that if you deal with a group of horse thieves, you will die someone equal to the number of horse thieves." For the sake of the long-term development of Lingye City, Nan made such a decision, trained the city guards separately, and also attracted all the horse thieves from other places by the way, and wiped them out. ”

"In the past two years, we have suffered everyone, and now that the horse thieves have been killed, money can supply you, but life cannot." Nan Bugui closed his eyes and said, "So you have to blame me, I don't have half a sentence to say." These were gold and silver stolen from the horse thieves' den, and there was also a box of money from a certain year in the south. Now it's all back to everyone. ”

The crowd was speechless in astonishment. I don't know who applauded at the beginning, but slowly, the applause rang out. The eyes of the people were slightly wet, and some of them still had hatred in their eyes, but they still applauded.

Nan Bugui is clever and cruel. He chose to sacrifice some of the people of Lingye City, and preserved the peace of several nearby cities. The horse thieves were killed, and within a few years, they were safe along with several nearby cities, and at such a big price, the things that were summoned were a few years of peace.

There was a table next to it, and someone was counting the losses of the people, and then distributing gold and silver. The 100 gold reward originally meant that.

Xuanyuan Zili looked at it, nodded slightly, and said to Nan Bugui: "You are a person who does great things." ”

Nan Bugui stepped down from the stage, and when he arrived at Xuanyuanzi's side, he knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you for your appreciation." ”

The emperor smiled slowly, looked at Nan Bugui's lowered head, and said in a deep voice: "Are you willing to wait for me here for a few more months, and when the southern tour is over, I will return to Beijing with your holy decree to continue to work for the five princes?" ”

Nan Bugui smiled and said: "The honor of the minister." ”

They should have guessed that it was the emperor of the southern tour, but the route was not the same as what they had heard. He looked very familiar with this man, but he never thought about it, until he had a flash of inspiration and tentatively knelt down for him.

But he didn't expect that it was really Emperor Mingxuan, the fifth prince he once wanted to be loyal to.

Nan Bugui sighed with relief, his life can be regarded as complete.

Duguchen looked at him with a smile next to him and said, "Don't return brother, get up quickly, it will be strange for the people to look at it later." ”

Nan Bugui smiled, his unshaven face looked a little good in the light of the fire. Duguchen frowned and said, "Can you trim your beard?" ”

"Hahaha, I'll fix it tomorrow!" Nan Bugui said heartily.

Life has returned to normal in Lingye City. The 100 gold reward has ensured the lives of the common people, and the devastating damage caused by the horse thief can be restored to life.

The emperor and his entourage are also about to start on the road. Early in the morning, the carriage was waiting outside the City Lord's Mansion, and Qing Jue and Peony packed up their things and put them on the car. Nan Bugui stood aside and talked to Xuanyuan Zili.

Ripple also stood aside, looking at the two big carriages, a little hesitant. When Liang Yue came out, she happened to see her, and seeing that she was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but ask: "Ripple girl, don't you go up?" ”

Ripple turned his head, glanced at Liangyue with a slight frown, and said, "I'm with Shiro." ”

Liang Yue paused, nodded, and got into the carriage first. Xuanyuan Zili looked at this scene, hesitated for a while, and said to Nan Bugui: "There is still something to be handed over to you." ”

Nan Bugui arched his hand and said: "But according to the master's orders." ”

"Ripples." The emperor beckoned and let the ripples come over. The latter obediently stood beside him.

"Southern tour all the way, it's not suitable to bring too many female dependents, you can help me take care of the ripples." Xuanyuan Zi left and said: "When you go to Beijing, bring her with you." ”

After the emperor finished speaking, he turned his head to look at the ripples and said, "If you insist on following me, this is the only way." Now, I can't take you away. ”

Ripples looked at the emperor in a daze, and tears slowly overflowed in his eyes. She muttered, "It's still like this... It's still like this...", and then turned and ran out.

Xuanyuan Zili was stunned for a moment, and Nan Bugui immediately ordered someone to chase after him, saying: "Don't worry, master, I will take care of this girl." ”

"Hmm." Xuanyuan glanced away from the direction where Ripple had run, turned around and got into the carriage.

When everything was ready, the carriage set off and continued on to the next city. In the car, Liang Yue ate tea crisp and said to the emperor lightly: "You are too cruel to that girl." ”

Xuanyuan Zili looked at the pastry in Liangyue's hand with a dark face, and said coldly: "You are really a bodhisattva, at such an extent, how can I be cruel to you." ”

He still knows how to dare to love. Liang Yue pursed her lips and turned her head to look out the window, but the plate she was holding in her hand was suddenly snatched away by the emperor.
