[Chapter 138] Escort

After all, the Cardinal is the highest institution of learning in Yanjia, from the cardinal to the reserve, all of them are the court's money, and many rules are naturally no less than elsewhere.

It's just that most of the cardinals are after the powerful, and among the lowest reserves, there are also children of high-ranking officials. For example, Yan Zheng is one of them. Even if he himself is not so good, relying on the face of the Yan family, the Yan Master of the Cardinal must respect him three points.

Seniority, power, position, all kinds of sorting methods are mixed together, and the cardinal's own rules have to be polite first. These rules may have been useful in the early years, but now I am afraid that not many people care.

Even Ling Jingcheng, the cardinal, may not be able to remember. Whenever he had to go through some forms such as the assessment of the reserve and the promotion and cover-up, he had to bring out the thick rules and check what to do temporarily. Ling Ai had made fun of her father several times in private.

Yu Moji naturally didn't have the heart to memorize a set of rules that had already lost momentum. But when she was still in the Council of Justice, she had been paying attention to the final assessment of the reserves, so she probably knew that those who successfully passed the graduation ceremony and became a serving Yanshi would receive a light armor that showed her identity. What Yan Zheng is wearing today is the armor that is more meaningful than practical.

Yu Moji only remembered at this time that the time for graduation had long passed.

She used to want to get a good ranking, but then there were too many things to verify her strength, and the graduation ceremony itself was not so important, plus her life was as full of ups and downs as ever, and under all kinds of worries, this matter was ignored.

"You're the number one, right?" Yu Mozhen smiled.

This result is not a guess. When she first entered the Cardinal, Yan Zheng and Ling Ai always occupied the top of the list, and she thought that these two people should be comparable, but later she saw some clues. Although Ling Ai has many skills, her talents and Yan Zheng's talents are not in the same direction. Most of the cardinal's assessments are biased towards military force, and in this regard, what Ling Ai lacks is not skill, but a generous heart to the enemy.

“…… You're careful. Yan Zheng probably just thought of this. He didn't deny the title, but there was no joy on his face. He looked at Yu Moji and shook his head, there was a layer of regret in his eyes, "If there is no such thing as the eldest princess, the title of this session should be yours." ”

"When you say that, I'm really worried that I won't be able to get it." Yu Mojin casually snorted, "Fortunately, I didn't participate." ”

She really doesn't care much about that anymore. In two years, even she was a little surprised by the progress she had made. Even though she has been running around for a long time, and later has repeatedly missed various assessments of the reserves, she still has a good idea of what her own strength is. When a person reaches the point of true self-confidence, all the confirmations he has been asking for in the past are no longer important.

The relaxed smile on her face hadn't fully bloomed, and Yan Zheng suddenly said, "Didn't you make a bet with Mrs. Ling before, saying that you wanted to take the graduation results and be a witness with her?" ”

Yu Moji: "......" She forgot about it. She searched her mind hard, and vaguely felt that she had not completely violated the agreement of the day. With her current ability, there may really be few men in the Cardinal who can beat her.

Besides, what's the point of winning or losing? What she wanted was not a landslide victory for either the woman or the man; What she really wants to prove is that as a woman and as a humble family, she can also become a capable person.

She smiled and said, "How is Mrs. Ling?" ”

"No news. However, when I saw Ling Ai before I left, she seemed to be in a good mood, and her mother should be fine. Yan Zheng didn't care enough to explain a few words, and then said, "Anyway, the matter over there in the imperial capital should be talked about when we go back." ”

His face was still gloomy, and he showed a little tiredness. Yu Moji rarely saw him like this, and he didn't know what to say, so he had to go with him.

Although the steam copper car is not as fast as the flying armor, it is only a four- or five-day drive from Linhai to the imperial capital. However, in the past few days, Yan Zheng has always had a sullen face, and he has hardly left Yu Moji's side, but he has not paid much attention to her except for urging Yu Moji to take medicine; His light armor has never been replaced.

How sluggish the ink marks were, I also felt that something was wrong. In her impression, as long as Yan Zheng leaves the battlefield, he will have the appearance of a standard prince of a family that is hated by the common people, with arrogance on his face that cannot be put down, and clothes that cannot be changed on his body.

It's just that she's not good at caring about other people's private affairs. Yan Zheng was silent, and Yu Moji didn't say much; The two in the car were still like this, and the few sergeants who came with Yan Zheng behind them didn't talk much. The group drove in the direction of the imperial capital without saying a word. Yu Moji couldn't help but slander for a while, but the funeral procession was more lively than them.

It was easy to get to the imperial capital, and it was not far from the cardinal, but Yan Zheng suddenly stopped the car.

Yu Moji was seriously injured and just recovered, his body was very weak, and he had nothing to do in the past few days, so he was rarely idle, and he almost slept all the way. At this moment, she was leaning against the wall of the car, sleeping groggily in the slightly shaking carriage. However, as soon as the speed of the copper car changed, she immediately sobered up, raised her eyes to look out the window, noticed that the position was wrong, and asked Yan Zheng, "What's wrong?" ”

"On the way back to the Cardinal, you can't take the copper chariot." Yan Zheng didn't look at her, and his voice was cold, "You make preparations." ”

"Huh?" The wakefulness of Yu Moji is more of a reaction from the body. Her mind hadn't really woken up yet, and her reaction was a beat slower. She didn't understand what was going on, she just thought it was a little inappropriate to take the Yan family's car back to the cardinal, so she said, "That's okay, I'll go down, there's nothing to prepare." ”

Yan Zheng was silent for a while, and it took a long time before he said "um", and then jumped out of the car to clean up the team.

Yu Moji was shocked by the solemn atmosphere. There was no one around, and there were armored sergeants around her, but she was dressed as a civilian, and she looked like she had been escorted back to the imperial capital by the sergeants.

She thought so as she walked to the Chamber. Who knows, when he arrived at the gate with a peculiar shape, Yan Zheng really took out a pair of shackles out of nowhere, and put on the remaining ink marks without saying anything.

Yu Moji: "......"

Yan Zheng's movements in his hands were very neat, and he didn't look at her when he was done, he only looked away with a pair of eyes that had lost his lustre, and explained bluntly, "Your suspicion has not been removed, so I have to escort you back." ”

Yu Moji opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. She thought that the affairs in the Jiangbei Army were over, but it turned out that it was not over yet; Moreover, along the way, although Yan Zheng's behavior was strange, she never thought about it in this direction - in the huge Great Qi Empire, how could there ever be a suspect who came back in a steam copper car?

She lost her voice for a few moments before she finally uttered a sentence, "That...... Thank you for sending the car. ”

Yan Zheng was stunned, obviously not expecting her to say this. He was about to activate the mechanism of the divine beast at the door, but he stopped, turned around, and said to Yu Moji, "I don't believe what Fu Cheng said. ”

The expression on his face was extremely serious, and Yu Moji couldn't help but smile at a glance. "This ...... Whether you believe it or not, it's actually not a big deal......" She said on the one hand, and on the other hand, she slandered and shackled, what does it matter if you believe it or not? However, Yan Zheng insisted on pretending to greet her, and she saved face to this part, which was also benevolent and righteous.

Thinking like this, she glanced up at Yan Zheng, and couldn't help but be surprised. It was obviously her who had been wronged, but Yan Zheng looked even more uncomfortable. She hurriedly handed Yan Zheng a soothing smile, and said, "What did Master Fu say?" She was indeed a little curious.

"Fu Cheng said that you had an affair with the traitors on the Jiangshan ship, burned down the barracks, released the prisoners privately, and then united with the army to abduct Fu Wan, trying to exchange this for evidence that the former Jiangbei inspector Ning Zhi had fornicated with private merchants and purchased thousand-year-old gold." Yan Zheng said stiffly, and a pair of eyes finally turned to Yu Moji again.

Yu Moji didn't pay attention to him. She listened all the way, and the more she listened, the more helpless she became. She thought for a moment and said, "Master Fu overestimated me. Although I did release the prisoners...... she caught a glimpse of Yan Zheng's frowning brows, and hurriedly said, "Because there was a sudden fire in the army at that time, if I didn't escape with them, I would have burned them to death in the prisoner camp." Other than that, even I don't know what it is. ”

Yan Zheng frowned, and said, "But why were you in the prisoner camp at that time?" ”

"This is the ...... It's a bit more complicated. Yu Mochen thought for a while, and said, "General Yuan transferred me to Jiayuan River to help him that day, and he was transferred back later. I was testing the boat on the Jiayuan River alone, and I happened to encounter Master Fu sending troops to snipe the Jiangshan boat, so I captured them together. She half-truthfully turned her words around, and only hoped that Master Fu would think of a place with her. As a father, he must not be willing to shake out Wanwan's private affairs.

Yan Zheng listened, and the gloom on his face finally dissipated. He nodded, and said, "I see." When I heard Fu Cheng say it, I felt that it was wrong. With your brain, you can't do anything as well as planned. ”

Yu Moji: "......"

She wanted to refute it, but she felt that what Yan Zheng said did make some sense. She often does things with a lonely heart, taking one step at a time, but rarely has her own plans. In the past, Yuan Pingzhi led the way for her, but in the future, Yuan Zhizhi will retire, what should she do?

She secretly made a note of this in her heart, and warned herself to pay more attention in the future.

"And according to Fu Cheng's previous statement, he asked you to send Fu Wan to Wei's house, but you cooperated with the fine work inside and outside and robbed Fu Wan." Yan Zheng shook his head, "This matter doesn't make sense at all. Didn't I just find you at the Wei family? It's just that Fu Cheng said before that he won't let the fine work succeed; If you have the heart to get rid of suspicion, you should send Fu Wan to Linhai according to his original intentions. As he spoke, his face, which had always been arrogant and arrogant, showed a rare expression of embarrassment, "Although I don't believe him is, but my duty is to bring you back." ”

Yu Mochen nodded, "Presumably when you went to find Master Fu, Miss Fu had just been robbed, and he was in a hurry, so he suspected me. She breathed a sigh of relief, "That's nothing." Miss Fu has already written to him, and she should explain the twists and turns of it, and my suspicion will not exist. ”

Yan Zheng's face finally became more cheerful. Suddenly, he walked over and unshackled the shackles.

Yu Moji: "...... What are you doing? ”

"Many of the charges Fu Cheng gave you have now been explained." Yan Zheng casually threw the shackles to the sergeant behind him, and said, "If you make it clear to Lord Ling, he will never think you are guilty." Anyway, sooner or later, I'll have to pay you back your innocence, so it's better to withdraw these Raushs as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, he fled past Yu Moji, and went straight to the beast that only needed to eat the key card before letting it go.
