Outside the house, the wind poured in through the cracks in the doors and windows, and it was low like a whimper.

Chu Zhixia blew on the fire fold and lit the lamp, and sat under the lamp and watched the sinking boat. Shen Zhou and Luo Shuangyi had a fight in the rain, and they were drenched all over, and they changed into dry clothes, but their hair was still wet.

When will you learn to take good care of yourself? Chu Zhixia sighed in his heart and beckoned Shen Zhou to come over. Chu Zhixia pressed Shen Zhou to his feet and sat down, rubbing his dripping hair with a handkerchief.

"The head of the Luo family has looked for me. The mountain ghost clan colluded with the regent, and he said, let you follow him to the Luo family headquarters. For three years, I will hand over the rocks to you, and I will work with the rocks. Chu Shixia asked calmly, "Are you willing?" ”

Shen Zhou nodded sullenly, ready for Chu Zhixia to be angry.

"Then you go with him." Chu Zhixia said, "I will stay in Jiangnan for a long time, the plague in Binzhou and the rebels in Gyeongju are not so easy to wipe out." Three years, not very long, maybe you come back, I'm still in Jiangnan. ”

Shen Zhou looked back at her, the faint light of the lamp was surging from behind, and Shen Zhou's eyes were like the tide of the sunset. Chu Zhixia's heart moved, and he was only a little bit close, and he was about to throw away his armor.

"Aren't you angry?" Shen Zhou asked softly.

Chu Shixia picked up a strand of his hair, smiled, and said, "Master used to tell me that when you are no longer my shadow, you will 'live'. It was because I was so stubborn that I forgot his old man's words. ”

Shen Zhou subconsciously shook his head and retorted her self-deprecating words.

"I always have nightmares after you're gone." Chu Zhixia whispered, "I dreamed that you were in distress, and I dreamed that you were dead...... Maybe that's my retribution. Where you want to go, what you want to do, I won't stop you anymore. ”

"Shen Zhou, you are a bird in the sky, don't draw the ground for me."

Shen Zhou's heart was filled with dense pain, and he turned to face Chu Zhixia, wanting to say something, but he was out of words after all. In the end, Shen Zhou just held her fingertips, propped herself up from the ground, and gave a fiery kiss in the corner of Chu Zhixia's eyes.

"Where you are, it's my cage. I willingly be locked up for the rest of my life, and for me, it is already a gift of fate. ”

——

In the heavy rain in October of the sixth year of Xiangfu, Shen Zhou left Binzhou with Luoshi and disappeared for three years. At that time, Jiuyousi was still a reckless sect that killed people without blinking, doing the dirtiest work and getting the highest bounty.

And many years later, the Nine Shadows stubbornly guarded the last remaining glory of the Great Zhou.

——

The catastrophe in Binzhou is far from over.

First of all, someone in the imperial capital impeached Chu Zhixia.

Chu Zhixia has been scolded since the first day she entered the imperial capital, as long as she doesn't scold Chu Mingyan and Chu Mingxiu, she will turn a blind eye. Chu Mingyan is a person who does things well, and Chu Mingxiu is a living Hades with a lot of blood debts, and the officials dare not provoke easily, and they can only take Chu Zhixia to open the knife.

This time, the official impeached Chu Zhixia for burning the body, and the smoke rising from the corpse being thrown into the fire can be seen all over Binzhou, which is really hurtful. The official scolding has always been to quote scriptures, and after coming and going, he almost pointed to Chu Shixia's nose and said that she was not worthy of being a descendant of the Chu family.

The plague in Binzhou originally started from the accumulation of corpses and the breeding of corpses. If the living themselves can't take care of it, can they care whether the dead are buried or burned? Chu Shixia didn't want to deal with those officials, but they had the posture of kicking their noses and faces, and Pei Zhang, who was sitting in the imperial capital, was also a little overwhelmed.

Chu Zhixia raised his pen and played the imperial capital, Yun: "Standing and talking doesn't hurt my back, I was born and died in the pile of corpses, and you poked my backbone." You are so capable, huddled in the imperial capital, do you have no ambition to serve the country in your heart? ”

The officials were indignant, rolled up their sleeves and went to smash the gate of the Akiba Mountain Residence, and in the end, the emperor personally reprimanded the officials who smashed the door. However, the officials had scolded enough, and they were ready to stop for a few days, but Chu Zhixia stopped doing it.

Chu Zhixia wrote another letter and cried to the emperor aggrievedly, since some people suspected that she was enriching her pockets and fishing in troubled waters in Binzhou, it was better to send a prison guard.

One of the emperor's heads is bigger than two, because what Chu Zhixia asked for by name was still a well-known thorn in the mouth - Zhang Gui, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace.

——

"Zhang Gui, I know this person." When Cheng Yuan heard this name, he couldn't help but be shocked and a little nervous.

"In the imperial capital, who doesn't know him?"

Chu Zhixia snorted twice, took a sip of the medicine, and said, "If the oil and salt don't enter, Jing Chu turtle." This person is a notoriously stunned person, and when Wang Xianfu was there, he dared to sue him for forming a party for personal gain, and no one would give him face. can live to this day, all because he is not afraid of death. As an official, he studied hard for more than ten years, and finally came to the point of going to the Xuanzheng Palace, who wants to fight with him? ”

Cheng Yuan was even more shocked, "Miss, you know everything, what are you looking for him to do?" Do you know that he used to support the deposed prince? Many people didn't move him because of the face of the abolished prince, otherwise he would be able to sit in this position today? If you don't die, you have to shed your skin. ”

"You'd be wrong." Chu Zhixia's jade-like knuckles struck on the table, and he said calmly, "Zhang Gui, this person, the allegiance is not to Bai Huan - but to the crown prince." ”

Cheng Yuan just wanted to say, is there any difference between this? But he reacted suddenly.

"Jang Gyu hated eunuchs, but he was not close to Chen. What Zhang Gui wants to defend is not Bai Huan, but Bai Huan, who sits in the East Palace—in other words, the orthodoxy of the monarch and ministers. Wang Xianfu and his ilk are chaotic ministers and thieves in his eyes, but why not the regent? Chu Zhixia said finally, "So although the regent doesn't kill him, he doesn't need him either." ”

Sounds a bit dead-eyed. Cheng Yuan thought.

Not long after, Yu Linwei came to knock on the door and reported: "Binzhou Thorn Shi asks to see." ”

Chu Zhixia had fooled Binzhou Thorn Shi for so long, so he naturally knew that he was here to ask for money. Chu Zhixia was too lazy to fool him face-to-face, waved his hand and said to Yu Linwei: "Tell him that I have already played the imperial capital, and the disaster relief food will arrive soon." ”

Chu Shixia did play the imperial capital, but in addition to naming Zhang Gui to supervise the army, he was fighting with the official, and he didn't mention the matter of asking for money at all. Cheng Yuan watched the overall situation from the sidelines, and listened to the drum in his heart, for fear that Assassin Shi would come back to his senses and fight hard with Chu Zhixia - Assassin Shi listened to Chu Zhixia's words, and he had already spent a lot of money as disaster relief silver taels these days.

On the Xuanzheng Palace, when Cao Jie sued the emperor with his death, the person mentioned was this Binzhou assassin. Cheng Yuan knew that he was not a good person, but he didn't expect him to be so rich and greedy, and he was worried about fooling Chu Shixia to make another profit.

No man is content. Cheng Yuan thought, he was dead.

But Chu Zhixia was not vain at all in deceiving people, and added bricks and tiles to this lie, "Tell him that the situation in Binzhou is tense now, and unnecessary use should be cut." I would like to set an example, and from this day forward, I will eat whatever the victims of the disaster eat. ”

Qin Cha is willing to set an example, and he is looking for hardships, and of course he doesn't dare to say anything. While spending his pocket to supplement the victims' houses and repairing their houses, Thorn Shi followed Chu Zhixia to nibble on flatbread - Qin Cha has eaten wheat cakes and drank gruel, who would dare to eat big fish and meat, be arrogant and lascivious?
