The two flickering oil lamps in the room were bright and dark, reflecting the shadows of the two on the wall, Chi Xue'e looked around the room, turned around and smiled at Li Youtian: "Lord County Guard sleeps alone, don't you feel lonely in this long night?" ”

Li You smiled awkwardly and said to Chi Xue'e: "Mrs. Yan is joking, as a minister, Li will naturally step forward when the court needs it, and bring his family with him If the real thieves are attacking, not only can they not be at ease to resist the enemy, but they have to be distracted to take care of their families, which is a big taboo for generals." ”

"It is a great blessing for the people of us to have such a good official who is dedicated to the country like Lord County Guard." Chi Xue'e bowed slightly to Li You, pursed her lips and said, "The folk girl came to visit late at night, and in addition to saying goodbye to the adults, there is also something I want to ask the adults for help." ”

"Mrs. Yan has something to say, but if the subordinate can do it, she will definitely go all out! What Mrs. Ruoyan wants to say is about Wu Yue's sword mound robbery of the caravan, I'm afraid it will have to be pushed back, and I will take care of it after the lower officials deal with the current matter! As soon as he heard Chi Xue'e say that he had something to ask for, Li You suddenly thought of Wu Yue's sword mound.

Chi Xue'e smiled slightly and said: "My lord is too worried, the people are not in a hurry about that matter, as long as they are not eradicated for a day, this account will always be found one day." I don't plan to go with my brother when I leave Xingyang this time, and the folk girl wants to ask the adults to take good care of him for me, so that he will not be seriously injured like today. ”

Li You was suddenly stunned after listening to Chi Xue'e's words, he originally planned to take Meng Su away when Chi Xue'e and Xiang Ye left, but he didn't expect Chi Xue'e to leave early, so when the time came, he had to beg Xiang Ye to leave with Meng Su alone.

As for letting Chi Xue'e take Meng Su alone, Li You didn't dare to think about it, although Chi Xue'e was relatively strong, she was a woman after all, and after returning to the Yan family, she couldn't completely decide many things, and in Li You's mind, she always thought that Chi Xue'e must be unprofitable as a businessman, and whether she would sell Meng Su to Xianyang because she wanted to facilitate a deal, Li You really didn't dare to guarantee.

But in the past two days of contact with Xiang Ye, Li You also discovered that although Xiang Ye is righteous and a trustworthy person, he is completely a stunned boy with no experience in the world.

The best way is for Chi Xue'e and Xiang Ye to leave Xingyang with Meng Su.

"Why did Lady Yan leave first?" Li You pondered for a while and said to Chi Xue'e: "Now that the robbers are rampant, and the lady leaves alone, it really makes the lower officials a little relieved. If you wait a few more days, after Xiang Zhuangshi's injury recovers, you can go on the road together, and there will be a good response on the road! ”

Chi Xue'e smiled bitterly, and did not answer Li You's question directly, but said to him: "The folk girl still has an important matter to handle, and it is inconvenient to go with him. ”

"Oh!" Li You nodded, didn't ask any further, he has been a county guard for so long, and he knows a little about the affairs between businessmen, he knows very well that many things about businessmen are not what everyone should know, and in modern terms, these things that cannot be known to outsiders are "trade secrets".

"If the county keeper is fine, the maiden will retire first!" After saying what she wanted to say, Chi Xue'e told Li You to retreat, turned around and walked towards the door.

Li You looked at her back and wanted to stop her, but in the end he didn't scream and watched her leave silently.

The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, Chi Xue'e hurriedly packed up and left Xingyang.

Xiang Ye also woke up leisurely after being in a coma all night, and when he opened his eyes and saw that the scenery in the room was completely different from the torture hall where Zhao Tong tortured him, he was still a little uncomfortable.

Struggling to get up, when he lifted his arms, he found that both arms were wrapped in thick linen, and if he tried to bend his elbows, there would be a heart-rending pain in his arms.

He closed his eyes slightly, lay on his back on the couch, and the scene after being caught by Zhao Tong appeared in his mind like a disc. He remembered that Zhao Tong wanted to force him to perjury against Li You's illicit rebellion, and he also remembered that he had his arm broken because he refused to testify.

The muscles on his face twitched slightly, and he wanted to smile bitterly, but the smile didn't let go, and instantly froze again. The sharp pain in his arm invaded his cerebellum, and he nearly fainted again.

"You're awake." Xiang Ye, who was covered in cold sweat, was fighting to the death with pain, and an extremely sweet voice came into his ears.

He forced his eyes open to look at the place where the sound came from, to see what kind of person could have such a good voice. When he saw the person he was talking to, he couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and the analgesic effect of the sweet voice suddenly dissipated because he saw the image of the other party clearly, and the severe pain invaded again.

Standing at the door was a young man dressed in a white dark robe, the young man was holding his hair in a high bun, his hair bun was straight to the sky, showing his noble status, but it was a little out of tune with the white dark clothes that only civilians worn, making him look strange.

The appearance of the teenager made Xiang Ye feel indescribable, in addition to his bright big eyes, his entire facial features were small, small ingots ears, small but very full small nose, high and erect nose bridge, ruddy and small mouth like a cherry, the teenager with these small facial features had a long height, but these two seemingly incompatible characteristics converged on the teenager, but it made people feel a little incongruous if they were not matched like this.

No matter how Xiang Ye looked at the young man standing at the door, he didn't look like a man, but he casually went there, which made Xiang Ye feel a boldness and masculinity that many men didn't have.

"Are you in pain?" Seeing Xiang Ye re-close his eyes with a painful face, the young man raised his feet and walked into the room, he stood beside the couch, his eyes couldn't help but show a little concern, and the sweet voice like a nightingale almost came to his ears close to Xiang Ye's ears.

Xiang Ye ignored him, he couldn't find any reason to deal with a stranger he had never met, not to mention that this young man had a sweet voice that was completely out of tune with his gender, which made him feel a little contemptible.

His eyes were closed, but he was secretly thinking in his heart: "A man, who speaks so sissy, if he is engaged in the base, he also belongs to the type of 'suffering', his life is really bitter, and he actually bumped into such a person as soon as he woke up!" Bah! Bah! Bah! ”

When he despised the boy in his heart, there was another sharp pain in his arms, and he closed his eyes, frowning in pain, and clenched his upper and lower teeth tightly. He wanted to howl loudly, but he was afraid that the howl would lure Zhao Tong over again to start a new round of torture against him.

"Are you in pain?" The young man took two steps closer to Xiang Ye, repeated the question just now, and looked at Xiang Ye's painful expression, his expression was actually a little uneasy.

Xiang Ye didn't open his eyes, his lips were tightly pursed, and he didn't say a word no matter how you interrogated me. Seeing that he didn't speak, the young man smiled a little embarrassedly, and then said: "Since you don't want to talk, then take care of yourself, your arms are broken, if you don't take care of them well, I'm afraid those arms will be useless in the future." ”

With that, he turned around to leave, and just as he turned around, Xiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes and shouted at his back: "What tricks are you going to play?" Master again, Li Junshou has nothing to do with him, don't dream that you can say anything unfavorable to him from me! If you want to kill, you can casually greet the master! ”

When Xiang Ye shouted these words, the young man's body shook slightly, and he turned his head and asked Xiang Ye with some surprise, "What did you say?" Could it be that Zhao Tong wants to use you to the detriment of Lord Gunner? ”

Xiang Ye pursed his lips, smiled contemptuously and replied: "Don't pretend to be ignorant here, this kind of little trick has seen too much on TV, play with me, you are still tender!" ”

The young man frowned, and glanced at Xiang Ye with some dissatisfaction, which was extremely resentful, which made Xiang Ye feel goosebumps all over his body.

After glancing at Xiang Ye, the young man said in his sweet voice like a nightingale: "You are really, people are kind enough to come to see your injury, why do you open your mouth and close your mouth to scream 'master'?" I'm asking you, does Zhao Tong want to use you to disadvantage Lord Junshou? ”

Xiang Ye glanced at the young man contemptuously, then closed his eyes and didn't answer.

The young man took two steps forward, reached out and grabbed Xiang Ye's collar and pulled him up, shouting loudly: "It took a lot of time for Lord County Shou to rescue you, what is the reason why you know that Zhao Tong is going to be unfavorable to adults but don't say a word?" ”

Xiang Ye didn't open his eyes, letting the young man pull at his collar, but when he was picked up, he was secretly surprised in his heart, although this young man was not short, but his figure was not strong, and he looked a little weak, but when he pulled Xiang Ye's collar, Xiang Ye could still feel the infinite power hidden in his thin torso.

"Meng Su, Xiang Zhuangshi is seriously injured, how can you do this to him?" Just when Xiang Ye was resisting the boy with his eyes closed, a voice came from the door, he seemed to have heard this voice somewhere, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

Xiang Ye opened his eyes, and looked back at the door with Meng Su, who was holding his collar, only to see Li Youzheng standing outside the door with his brows furrowed.

When he came to Xingyang, Xiang Ye and Li You didn't meet many times, so he was not very impressed by Li You's voice, so he didn't immediately hear that it was Li You who spoke just now.

Seeing Li You standing at the door, Meng Su hurriedly let go of the hand holding Xiang Ye's collar, and Xiang Ye, who had no basis at all, only felt that his neckline was loosened, and he suddenly lost his balance and fell back to the couch, the back of his head hit the hard wooden board, and he fell straight and rolled his eyes.
