Yuan Yan rubbed his chest, looked at her helplessly, and asked, "On a good day, why did you run out to be an assassin?" What about your family? ”

Lin Jiaruo only cared about crying and ignored him.

Yuan Yan smiled: "Who are you hating?" Xiao Li or Xia Chengcheng? If it was Xiao Li, he would simply shoot him with an arrow! What are you going to shoot the wooden sign of the Xia family? Tut-tut, like a child! ”

Lin Jiaruo finally raised his head, glared at him with tears in his eyes, and asked, "What if it's Xia Chengcheng?" ”

"Xia Chengcheng...... Yuan Yan dragged out his voice and said with a smile, "That's not good, such a stunning beauty, let alone killed, even if it hurts a little, it is also distressing!" ”

"You men are all the same! None of this is a good thing! Lin Jiaruo's eyes were red with anger.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Yuan Yan seemed to be choking, and coughed several times before he cried and laughed, "What are you talking about!" ”

"She obviously has a marriage contract with my eldest brother, but she went to ask the king of Chu for marriage, she treated my eldest brother like this, and you all helped her one by one, isn't it because she is beautiful?" The more Lin Jiaruo said, the more aggrieved he became, "Can you do whatever you want if you look beautiful?" ”

Seeing that Yuan Yan had a tendency to nod, Lin Jiaruo glared fiercely, Yuan Yan hurriedly fixed his head, and smiled at her casually: "Fourth girl, your eldest brother is dead-"

"My eldest brother is not dead!" Lin Jiaruo replied unexpectedly.

Yuan Yan continued disappreciatively: "It is reasonable for Xia Chengcheng to get engaged again, you yourself refuse to accept the death of your eldest brother, you can't force everyone to be the same as you, right?" ”

There was no palm lamp in the courtyard, and by the moonlight and the light outside, her pursed lips and a pair of bright and stubborn eyes could be faintly seen.

He couldn't help sighing, and couldn't help but soften his voice: "Fourth girl, your eldest brother has been dead for half a year, you let others go, and let yourself go......"

Lin Jiaruo still pursed her lips and didn't speak.

If it was in the past, she would have been furious and refuted when she heard such words, but a few days ago, she had just gotten hope from Wuchen, and in the face of Yuan Yan's doubts, she could actually endure it.

Wuchen said that the eldest brother was plotted, and if he was still alive, he was still in danger, and she must not leak the news.

She didn't speak, and Yuan Yan couldn't figure out whether she listened or not, but it was too late at this time.

"It's getting late, I'll send you back!" Yuan Yan said.

Lin Jiaruo stood up silently and went to pick up his bow.

"You'd better not carry your bow and arrows, in case there's still a search outside." Yuan Yan suggested.

Lin Jiaruo silently looked at the bow in his hand and raised his face towards him.

The moonlight shone right on her face, and there was a childlike confusion.

Yuan Yan's heart moved, and he said softly: "This courtyard is privately placed by me, no one lives in it, you can put it here first, I will give you the key, and you can get it yourself another day." ”

Lin Jiaruo left the bow and arrow in a good manner, and followed Yuan Yan out with a well-behaved face.

On the way back to Xing'er Hutong, he really ran into several groups of Jin Wuwei who were searching for assassins and the personal guards of the Chu Palace.

For the eldest daughter of the general Lin Shisheng and Yuan Yan, a scholar from the Yue State Mansion, they naturally turned around and left after respectfully saluting, as for why these two people walked together on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, even if they made some eye contact, they all lowered their heads.

But in front of Xu Jiaoning, it was not so calm.

When Lin Jiaruo went out from home, she only went to see the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival when she was in a bad mood, but as the night deepened, Xu Yaoning was already restless at home, and finally waited for her daughter to come back, and there was actually a man by her side!

Xu Jiaoning's cold hair stood up, and he pulled the ignorant Lin Jiaruo behind him, and glared angrily at Yuan Yan: "Lord Yuan has always been wise and resourceful, so he can't use it well in court affairs, what do you do with a little girl all day long?" My girl is still very young! ”

Yuan Yanwan smiled, arched his hand, and left.

Lin Jiaruo thought about it in his heart, and felt that he was still helped by Yuan Yan today, and he should have said a few good words for him: "Mother, Yuan Yan-"

"Yuan Yan, what Yuan Yan!" Xu Yaoning glared at her angrily, dragged her hand and walked in, chattering and reprimanding.

"You pay attention to me in the future, I'm almost twelve years old, didn't I teach you about male and female defense? That Yuan Yan is scheming, you don't mix with him, he is not Gan Mingcong......"

Lin Jiaruo listened quietly and obediently, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.

This year, the Quartet was in turmoil, but it was all right.

Although a holy decree has been issued to hire Xia Chengcheng as the princess of Chu, the holy decree does not specify a specific date, the emperor's intention, out of the importance of the Xia family's girl, let him go carefully and carefully according to the six rites of the people.

With the royal leadership, the people also set off a wave of marriage.

Gan Qiuya of the Gan family and a son of the Pei family in Hedong proposed marriage.

Although the Pei Xiang family has declined, the Pei family in Hedong is one of the four surnames in Guanzhong, and there are still many Pei children in the court.

The marriage contract between Pei Jinyu and Wei Mu at that time symbolized the marriage between the Guan Shi clan and the Jiangnan Shi clan, even if Wei Mu died in the war later, the Jiangnan Shi clan still launched a good enough Gan Mingjue.

Until the defeat of the Pei family, Pei Jinyu was a concubine, and the Jingnan army refused to go north, the plan to marry was delayed.

Now that Gan Mingcong is leading the troops to the north, the Guan Sergeant clan once again proposed a marriage to the Jiangnan Shi clan, and this time Lin Jiaruo's only handkerchief in Beijing was decided, Gan Qiuya.

But after the official dowry, I still plan to wait until Gan Mingcong enters Beijing.

Yan Huai was wounded, the front line was over, and when the defense line was arranged, Lin Shisheng and Gan Mingcong should return to Beijing to be rewarded.

When Lin Jiaruo was preparing for the reception, he received a letter from Gan Mingcong.

On September 12, he triumphantly entered Beijing.

The city gate is rewarded, and the clothes are paraded through the streets.

However, Gan Mingcong did not return to Beijing.

Even if he was taken on Lin Shisheng's horse and shared the glory with him, Lin Jiaruo was still worried and couldn't show his face to the fullest.

"Cousin Mingcong...... Does it matter? She couldn't help but look up and ask.

Lin Shisheng smiled at the onlookers, and replied in a low voice: "Don't worry, I will explain it to him, as long as there is no accident in Zhao Bingyi, Mingcong's side will be fine!" ”

"Zhao Bingyi?" Lin Jiaruo was a little surprised, this former general of Huaihua had not appeared in military intelligence for a long time.

"Zhao Bingyi's Shenwu camp has been damaged too much, the emperor ordered me to take the Guanzhong army, and then merge the Shenwu camp in, and now Zhao Bingyi only leaves the title of a general, and he only has more than a thousand personal soldiers in his hands——"

"Zhao Bingyi seems to have obtained another secret order, this time he did not follow into Beijing, the news of Ming Cong's west will not come for the time being, if he enters Beijing - the area of Gyeonggi, I have already arranged along the way, as soon as there is news, it will definitely come to my ears first!"

"That's good—yes, Daddy......"

"Huh?"

"Why do you have two moustaches?"
