Ye Yongjia fell into grief alone, and several people didn't dare to disturb him. Although Cui Yi was depressed, he saw that Minghuiguang and the others didn't care, for fear that it would affect the big thing, so he resolutely persuaded: "Lord Ye! Cai Lao said before he died, so that you don't want to miss his career for him, but you are here to be a child, doesn't it make Cai Lao feel cold? If it is so muddy, how can the evil of the Chen Party and the injustice of Cai Lao be exposed to the world! ”

After saying that, I saw Ye Yongjia slowly turn his head, with tears on his face, which couldn't help but startle him, and he hurriedly stood with his hands down and stopped talking.

Ye Yongjia's eyes were blank, still in a daze. He had heard these things countless times, but now he had become vacillating, suspecting that perhaps it was only psychological paralysis. After all, his adherence to his ideals has never changed along the way, and for it, he can form a party, he can go to the party prison, and he is so paranoid that he has no bottom line; But in exchange, the death of close friends one after another, enough to leave a stench of infamy for 10,000 years, and a vision that can't see the way out.

Although the voice in his head still faintly reminded him to cheer up, he really felt tired, as if he was dragging a stump forward, losing the meaning of seeking.

"Cai Lao may be relieved," Ye Yongjia muttered to himself, "If I die for him, I can fight for a heroic reputation, but I can't fall, I can't fall...... My duty is to see the wildfires burn with my own eyes. ”

Minghui shrugged between his eyebrows, as if he had been touched in his heart; Cui Yi sighed and said, "Since it is a wildfire, who would have thought that it must be burned here." ”

Wan Yuzhi also said: "Yes, the situation still has to be saved, adults don't need to be so pessimistic." By the way, Master Shi has just resigned and is about to leave the city, so you'd better send him off, don't worry about grieving. ”

"Him?" Ye Yongjia raised his eyes, his expression was heavy at first, and then he relaxed, "It's a shame that he can think about it." It is wise to retreat from the rapids and get away from this Vanity Fair as soon as possible. You and I will go and say goodbye to him. ”

After that, he sighed and got up, patted Cui Yi's shoulder blade, and looked at him for a long time; The latter had no choice but to go out of the yamen with him.

It was getting dark, and the last rays of the sunset were clinging to the sky, almost flat on the earth, and the luster splashed on the weeds outside the city, like pieces of broken gold stirring. Shi Xiushen raised his horsewhip and was about to move quickly, when he suddenly heard someone shouting behind him: "Brother Mingzhen! ”

He hurriedly reined the bridle, and the horse's front feet were raised high and he neighed when he looked up to the sky.

"It turned out to be Tinglong!" Shi Xiushen got off the horse and ran closer to salute, "After you are released from prison, are you in good health?" ”

Ye Yongjia smiled and shook his head: "I was sick before, and my body was very weak, and being thrown into prison by them made it even worse. Fortunately, it didn't take long, and Chen Dang didn't use any torture methods, so he was barely strong. ”

"Then I'm much more relieved, I can go more simply!" Shi Xiushen exhaled a breath and let out a hearty laugh - Ye Yongjia hadn't heard such a laugh for a long time, and it suddenly brought him back to that evening in Chenzhou.

"Why did Shi Si Ban leave in such a hurry, so that Lord Ye almost didn't catch up." Cui Yi said next to him.

Shi Xiushen said: "There is no way. My friendship with Tinglong is well known to the Manchurian Dynasty, and this time I helped him again, and His Majesty's suspicion of me deepened. When I perceive this level of thought, there is only one way to get out. ”

Ye Yongjia couldn't help but sigh: "As a martial artist, Ming Zhen can't devote himself to the country, but he is swayed by those open and secret battles all day long, how tormented is his life...... I think it's just the right time. It's just a pity that we never had a chance to meet again. ”

Shi Xiushen smiled lightly and looked up at the sky: "Life and death parting is a common thing in life, it is nothing more than sooner or later, who can disobey?" Just remember that you have a relationship, and that's enough. is still the same sentence: the friendship of gentlemen is as light as water. ”

Ye Yongjia said with a smile: "Brother Shi always recites this sentence, it seems that I have to remember it when I go to Jiuquan." Take care! ”

Shi Xiushen solemnly hugged his fists: "Take care!" With that, he turned around and got on his horse, and shouted "Drive!" Then he departed. Ye Yongjia watched from afar, and saw that his pale hair was especially obvious in the setting sun, and he looked more like a dull old man.

"Let's go."

Ye Yongjia was overwhelmed, stood in place for a while, and then beckoned Cui Yi and the others to return to the city, and suddenly saw a sedan chair falling from the wall, and the servant came out with a big official, it was Zeng Liang.

Ye Yongjia didn't want to pay attention to him, but he was stopped by him loudly: "Lord Ye! I have been dismissed from my official position, and I can't go against you, why am I so arrogant? ”

Ye Yongjia glanced at it with cold eyes: "Old Cai commented that you are a dog guarding the door, as expected." If you lose your official position, you are so kind and pleasant, where is the usual 'uprightness'? ”

Zeng Liang hurriedly smiled: "Alas, Lord Ye, isn't the matter in the court just pretending, why take it seriously?" What's more, I am firmly on your side now, and I can see the hypocrite face of the Chen Party thoroughly! If you need me, Zeng should do my best! ”

Ye Yongjia was disgusted with this person, and was about to refute it, but when he saw Cui Yi making a look, he stopped speaking, and let him laugh and replied: "Lord Zeng, our Ye Gong is by no means a stingy person, and the original grievances will be put down." If you have a heart for reform, we must not be ruthless. The state capital where you live, we will carefully check it out to ensure that you are not troubled, and you will have the opportunity to make a comeback one day. ”

"Tinglong...... Is that what you think? Zeng Liang saw that Ye Yongjia still had a cold face, and he couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Cui Yi pulled Ye Yongjia's sleeve, and he had no choice but to push the boat down the river: "That's right." ”

Zeng Liang's look of surprise appeared when he ascended, and he said deeply: "Thank you, thank you...... Zeng has always known the kindness of the newspaper, and he will make a great contribution to Ye Gongjian in the future! Then a few more words of flattery, Yongjia was very tired of hearing it, and hurriedly said goodbye to him.

"Hexun, this person is treacherous, difficult to take advantage of, I don't know how many times he has hurt us, why do you have to agree to him?" Ye Yongjia was still talking about this matter on the way, "If he goes crazy one day, and then shakes out all the things we helped him with, how can he regret it!" ”

Cui Yi said: "Ye Gong didn't know, on the day the emperor issued the holy decree, Su Zongshan urgently sent someone to the household department and met with him again, there must be a reason." If you win him over, you may gain a lot. Admittedly, this is a risky move, but now it has reached the point where it has to fight. ”

Ye Yongjia pondered for a long time, and slowly bowed his head: "Then it's all up to you." After entering the palace to congratulate the prince on his recovery, he discussed in the office. ”
