Early morning. (Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) windy.

A man in white stood in the courtyard with his hands in his hands, looking up at the sky and letting the breeze blow his clothes. The man is not very old and has a tall figure. He stood up like that, and without saying a word, it always felt like he had a special attraction.

It's a peculiar feeling, it's weird. It was as if he had stood there since eons, as if there were only white clouds, the earth, and himself between heaven and earth.

Standing with hands behind is a very ordinary standing posture, but the man in white seems to be a little different from the ordinary. It is undeniable that the man in white is a very attractive man. Of course, the so-called attraction must be based on the fact that he does not have the pair of panda eyes.

"An eagle that has been playing all his life is finally pecked blind by a little sparrow. My handsome face, my eyes as bright as the stars. Heavens, earth, send out the Howling Dogs and take that damn madgirl away. ”

"Brother Jiang, you've been standing there for a long time, and the dew is heavy in the morning, it's okay for you to stand like that, right?" Han Yu, who was practicing knives in the courtyard, couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Xia shook his head and said, "You don't understand, looking at the sky in the morning helps the blood circulation of the eyes, don't you see that I will circulate in place?"

Jiang Xia lowered his head, and Han Yu suddenly shouted: "Ah, you were beaten by someone, right? Who hurt you? Tell me, I'll help you avenge you." ”

Jiang Xia waved his hand and sighed: "Forget it, you have to be forgiving and forgiving, she doesn't have anything good." ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia turned around and left.

Han Yu looked at the back of Jiang Xia leaving, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Jiang is good at everything, but he is too kind." ”

After Jiang Xia had eaten breakfast, he took the plate and brought some food back to his room, and when he opened the room, he saw a woman on the bed with her hands and feet tied, a cloth in her mouth, and a turtle painted on her face. This person is none other than Yang Jingjing.

When Yang Jingjing heard someone open the door, she immediately turned around and wanted to ask for help, but as soon as she saw that it was Jiang Xia, her expectant gaze immediately became fierce and ruthless.

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Originally, I wanted to be kind enough to bring you some breakfast to eat, but now I don't want to eat it when I look like you." Whether it's okay or not, I'll feed you something else. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xia took out a pill from his arms and walked to Yang Jingjing's side. He ripped the cloth from Yang Jingjing's mouth at once, and Yang Jingjing immediately scolded loudly: "Jiang Xia, I must kill cough cough"

Yang Jingjing felt that Jiang Xia seemed to have thrown something into her mouth. She asked a little nervously, "What did you eat for me, you bastard." ”

"Hmph!" Jiang Xia's eyes were gloomy, and at this moment, he was exactly the same as the look of the perverted murderer and madman he saw on TV in the future. Jiang Xia lowered his voice and said gloomily: "What I gave you just now is our Jiang family's secret rotten flesh bone pill. ”

"Rotten Flesh Bone Pill?" Yang Jingjing's face turned pale with fright just by hearing this name, and tears fell out of her beautiful eyes in the blink of an eye, and she cried: "You give me poison, woo woo woo you villain, you give me the antidote, give me the antidote"

"Cry, cry" Jiang Xia's voice became more and more gloomy.

"You just cry as much as you want, this carrion bone pill will start to do it once it encounters tears, and you will feel extremely itchy all over your body. Then you will have small red spots on your body, and when the color of the small spots gets darker and darker, they will start to change. Then your flesh will fester, your bones will corrode, and in seventy-seven forty-nine days you will turn into a puddle of blood, hahahaha"

"Ah!! I don't want to turn into blood, I don't want to festering and die, it's disgusting, it's disgusting. Yang Jingjing screamed but didn't dare to shed tears anymore.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or a real medicinal effect, but she feels that her body has begun to itch, and the itching is getting worse and worse. Yang Jingjing said with a crying voice: "I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, please give me the antidote." ”

Jiang Xia smiled proudly, he took out another pill from his arms and threw it into Yang Jingjing's mouth and said: "This pill can ensure that you will not be sick for seven days, if you are obedient in these seven days, I will give you a complete antidote to completely eradicate the poison in your body, if you are disobedient."

"Obedient and obedient, I will be obedient. Yang Jingjing swore and promised.

The corners of Jiang Xia's mouth hooked up a smile that had succeeded in his treacherous scheme, and he said in his heart that this stupid girl is also very easy to deceive. He helped Yang Jingjing untie the rope on her body, and then crossed Erlang's leg and said, "Come, hammer the uncle's leg first." ”

Yang Jingjing glared at Jiang Xia angrily, and a syllable came out of Jiang Xia's nostrils: "Huh?"

Yang Jingjing immediately squatted down and began to thump Jiang Xia's legs.

While pounding Jiang Xia, he boasted: "Well, the craftsmanship is not bad." ”

After hammering for a while, Jiang Xia said: "Okay, go and eat breakfast by yourself, and then clean up and go out with me to buy medicine." ”

"Is it poison again?" Yang Jingjing was nervous when she heard the medicine.

Jiang Xia pointed to his two panda eyes and roared angrily: "Go to the stasis medicine! Look at the good deeds you have done!"

Jiang Xia's face was already white, and the purple-black bruises were particularly eye-catching, and even Yang Jingjing couldn't help but smile when she saw it, it seemed that she was very satisfied with her masterpiece.

When Jiang Xia took Yang Jingjing to the street to buy medicine, Yang Jingjing's father, Yang Yiqing, also happened to enter the palace. In the palace, Li Dongyang was discussing with Zhu Houzhao, and there were many affairs recently, Zhu Houzhao was worried that the locust plague predicted by Jiangxia would occur, and at the same time he was distressed that there was no money for Yang Yiqing to build a border defense.

The Ming Dynasty itself was taken back from the Mongols, and the Mongols never gave up on the Central Plains. After so many years, the Mongols have also recovered a lot of vitality and become stronger and stronger. To say that Zhu Houzhao doesn't understand these things, and he is not afraid of these, it is absolutely deceitful. Zhu Houzhao's martial habits are well-known in history.

After discussing with Li Dongyang for a long time, Zhu Houzhao failed to get a suitable solution to the matter of Shaanxi city defense construction funds. At this moment, Zhang Yong suddenly entered the Qianqing Palace to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang Yiqing, the governor of Ganxi and Shaanxi, is here, saying that there is a method for the construction of Shaanxi's city defense, and he wants to consult with the emperor." ”

"Yang Yiqing has a way?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately nodded: "Okay, announce him in immediately." ”

"Yes. ”

Zhang Yong withdrew from the Qianqing Palace, and Yang Yiqing walked in after a while. After entering the house and saluting Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao said excitedly: "Yang Aiqing doesn't need to be polite, I just heard Zhang Yong say that you have already thought of a way to solve the construction of Shaanxi's city defense?"

"If you go back to the emperor, Weichen already has a way, and you only need the court to allocate 300,000 taels of silver to achieve it. ”

"Three hundred thousand taels of silver. Zhu Houzhao thought about it and nodded: "This silver treasury can still be spent, then you can talk about the way." ”

"Wechen obeyed. Yang Yiqing began to explain his methods, and he almost copied Jiang Xia's words to Zhu Houzhao. After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded again and again: "This method is very good, I feel that this must be feasible." What do you think, Taifu?"

Zhu Houzhao asked Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang also nodded and said, "Weichen also thinks it is feasible." ”

Zhu Houzhao said, "Okay, since that's the case, it's decided." I will issue a holy decree to you later, Yang Aiqing, you must handle this matter for me this time. If you do it well, I will be rewarded. ”

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Yang Yiqing said excitedly, "Weichen must do his best, even if he dies, he will handle this matter well." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction, and he said with a smile: "I don't know why, I always feel that what you just said is not quite like your own tone, but very similar to another person in my impression." By the way, Yang Aiqing, how did you come up with such a wonderful method in less than a day?"

"This" Yang Yiqing was dumbfounded, he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be able to hear the difference just by his tone, which made Yang Yiqing dare not deceive Zhu Houzhao, deceive the emperor, who is called bullying the monarch, and is going to kill the head of Cheng DΓΉ on the strictness.

Yang Yiqing glanced at Li Dongyang secretly, and had to bite the bullet and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the method you just said was not thought up by the minister, but by a master who was consulted by the minister. ”

"Master?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt that something was wrong, he frowned slightly and said, "Which master is so powerful?"

Yang Yiqing sighed in his heart and said: "Weichen heard that someone held a disaster relief charity dinner a few days ago, attracting a large amount of donations from many wealthy businessmen in Beijing, and donated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver in one fell swoop. So the minister went to this master to ask for advice, and this person is"

"The owner of Xiaoyao Mountain Villa, Jiang Xia!" Zhu Houzhao didn't wait for Yang Yiqing to finish speaking, and then took the second half of the sentence for him.

As soon as he finished saying this, there was no sound in the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Hou looked at Yang Yiqing and then at Li Dongyang. After being silent for a while, Zhu Houzhao said: "Since I was born in the palace, the people who follow me are not eunuchs, but go to the palace maids. After ascending the throne, walking in one place is a hundred officials to worship and submit to the people. Although I am rich all over the world, I am very pitiful.

You've all had friends like that, but what about me? I don't have anyone to say a word to, and I want to try what it's like to be friends. If someone reveals my identity, I will lose my friends. I can guarantee that I will make him headless!"

As soon as these words came out, Yang Yiqing immediately knelt on the ground and said nervously: "Weichen is panicking. ”

Yang Yiqing knelt down but Li Dongyang didn't kneel, he thought about it and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, you are the king of a country." What is the king? The king is the lord of the world, turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain. For you, the mountains, rivers, rivers, seas, wasteland, and fertile land are all its things, and for you, birds, animals, farmers, and commerce are all its royals. As far as the king is concerned, no one in the world can be friends with him, only ministers. The ministers are not inextricably close, but they cannot show their hearts. The way of the king is the way of loneliness. ”

The meaning of Li Dongyang's words is very straightforward and simple, he said that the land and rivers in the world belong to the emperor, and for the emperor, the people in the world can only be courtiers, but not friends. The emperor can be close to his ministers, but he can't give him a heart, and the king's road is very lonely.

After Li Dongyang said this, Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while, he looked at Li Dongyang, and his calm gaze always made people feel that there was endless anger hidden. After a long time, Zhu Houzhao said four words lightly: "It's nonsense." ”

After speaking, Zhu Houzhao got up and walked out of the Qianqing Palace.

Yang Yiqing, who was kneeling on the ground, could only shout loudly: "Weichen sends the emperor." ”

After the emperor had already walked away, Li Dongyang sat back in his chair weakly. He muttered to himself: "Duke Xie and Duke Liu are still hated by the emperor, and now that the torrent has arrived, I'm afraid it's time for me to retreat." If you return it early, you can protect yourself, but I'm afraid it's too late."

Li Dongyang's voice was very low, and Yang Yiqing didn't hear what he said clearly. Yang Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief after standing up, and he said, "I didn't expect that Jiang Xia's status in the emperor's heart was so important, and he was already regarded as a friend by the emperor. ”

"I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse. Li Dongyang sighed and asked Yang Yiqing: "Have you been to see that Jiangxia, what do you think of this person?"

Yang Yiqing thought for a while and said: "This person is good at judging the situation and good at arguing. He seemed to be completely free from the world, but it was certain that he must be a man of good heart and courage, as can be seen from his words. ”

After speaking, Yang Yiqing took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Li Dongyang.

After Li Dongyang glanced at it, his eyes were a little strange and glanced at Yang Yiqing: "IOU?"

Yang Yiqing's old face turned red, and he coughed dryly and said, "Eh, I'll explain this matter to the adults later, and the adults will read his words." ”

The IOU was written by Jiang Xia, and Yang Yiqing didn't pay attention to it at first. After returning home, he took out the IOU and was about to tear it off, only to see the handwriting on it, Yang Yiqing himself was known as a prodigy when he was a teenager, and he took the township test at the age of fourteen, and was recommended as a Hanlin Xiucai. Ming Xianzong once ordered the cabinet to send a teacher to teach him. In the eighth year of Chenghua, he went to Renchen Kejin Shi and was awarded the position of a scholar.

When it comes to literary accomplishment, Yang Yiqing is also among the top few in the Ming Dynasty.

In particular, Yang Yiqing loves calligraphy, and he has almost copied and studied the calligraphy of the ancients, but he has never seen the words written by Jiang Xia, and it should be the calligraphy style created by Jiang Xia himself. And this style is stable, the force penetrates the back of the paper, and everywhere reveals a sense of atmosphere and righteousness.

People who like calligraphy think that people are like their words, so Yang Yiqing thinks that Jiang Xia is a good person.

Li Dongyang, like Jiang Xia, is also a person who likes calligraphy. After reading Jiang Xia's calligraphy, he couldn't help but nodded and said: "If this person is really a smart person with a good heart and a righteous heart, then we must have a good life and cultivate, and in the future, this person will definitely be blessed by the country and the country." ”

The blessing of Jiangshan Sheji in Li Dongyang's mouth was singing a small song in front of him empty-handed at the moment, while Yang Jingjing was carrying two large medicinal herbs behind him, which seemed to be not light.

Yang Jingjing looked at Jiang Xia viciously, in fact, Jiang Xia was also weak in her heart.

Last night, he almost had a skin-to-skin relationship with Yang Jingjing, phew, he had a skin-to-skin relationship at all, and even other people's little white rabbits were touched by him for a long time.

Jiang Xia was afraid that Yang Jingjing would rely on herself and not marry a non-gentleman.

But fortunately, it seems that Yang Jingjing has not been affected by the chastity of those three and four virtuous women, and since last night she has not said anything about this topic except for being angry with herself, Jiang Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Liu Qingyun, the third son of the Muyang Hou family, was wandering around the street with more than a dozen family members, and when he saw the beautiful little daughter-in-law, he would definitely whistle and tease with words. It seems that from ancient times to the present, the behavior of hooligans is similar.

Suddenly, Liu Qingyun saw Yang Jingjing, who was alone with two large medicinal materials in her hands.
