Pei Yuxue opened her mouth to bite, she immediately withdrew her hand, and saw that Pei Lang, who was still extremely calm, slammed into her arms, wrapped his arms tightly around Xue Yuxiao's waist, against his shoulders, and wept tears wet his clothes.

Xue Yuxiao stiffened and heard his whimper.

Pei Yuxue hugged it too tightly, his hand uneasily grabbed the shirt on Xue Yuxiao's waist, and his fingers trembled slightly. An extremely cold and cold breath fell into his ears, and he suppressed the sound of tears, leaving only a clear sound of pumping and adjusting his breathing, and his lips were bitten red by his teeth.

Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand and ran down his back, dazed, trying to comfort: "It's okay, it's okay." There is no danger. ”

Pei Yuxue gritted her teeth and endured it, tears fell like rain, but she held back her majestic sour grievances, and insisted: "I didn't cry." ”

Xue Yuxiao stroked the back of his neck and said, "Yes, yes, you weren't scared to cry." ”

"I'm not scared!" His voice was raised.

Xue Yuxiao gave Pei Xuexue face, and echoed: "Yes, it's not scared. It's just that the rain from the sky accidentally drifted in your face...... Don't be afraid, I'll wipe it for you. ”

She pulled out a handkerchief and put her arm around his shoulders to wipe Pei Lang's tears. He pursed his lips, his eyes reddened, and stared at her steadily, his throat trembling patiently several times.

The handkerchief she carries with her is incense, and there is a rich and gentle air on her face. Pei Yuxue lowered her eyelashes, and she didn't hide when her eyes were wiped, but just snorted vaguely.

Xue Yuxiao wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered, "What kind of rain, it's so annoying." Pei Lang's tears are precious, and he has never given charity easily, how can he cry......"

Pei Yuxue tugged at the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Innuendo." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "Wronged, I didn't!" ”

While the two were talking, Li Qingchou couldn't help but lift the curtain to check the situation. She first said to the curtain: "This curtain is broken, and it will be replaced when it comes to the post station." It seems that this curtain has become fine, as if she came to discuss, and immediately turned around, the two of them have changed from hugging and hugging to extremely dignified, Pei Yuxue turned around, and Xue Yuxiao slightly blocked his figure.

Li Qingchou couldn't help laughing, and said to Xue Yuxiao: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be blessings in the future, it seems that our future road will be smooth." ”

Xue Yuxiao said: "You can restrain some madness, if you are injured, I don't know how to answer when you return to Beijing and ask the son of the Yuan family." ”

Li Qingchou said: "Who can compare to you for your rebellious and resolute and deviant nature?" This can be said by others, but you alone cannot be dissuaded. Let's go. ”

After that, everyone reorganized and hurried.

Many of the guards were wounded, and after entering Chenjun, everyone first went to the medical hall with great fanfare, accusing someone of attacking Qincha as a rebellion. And then like a tiger waiting for an opportunity, it seemed that he was about to put this charge on the head of a certain scholar clan at any time - the local clan was worried, and he didn't know which day Xue Yuxiao would come to blame.

However, this day did not come after all, and even the end of the entire Yuzhou landbreak, they cooperated, and after seeing Xue Yuxiao leave, they slowly came back to their senses - the hole cards thrown out are not called hole cards, she has kept this charge in her hands, everyone will doubt their own safety, and compromise and retreat, and once Xue Yuxiao really uses this charge of "assassination and rebellion", others will get rid of this heavy shackle.

Unfortunately, by the time most people reacted, it was too late.

Pass through Yuzhou, turn to Nanyang, and enter Yongzhou...... In the past few months, Xue Yuxiao has experienced no less than ten assassinations, ranging from "professional" Jianghu people who are as strong as rain and night attacks, to militiamen who are so weak that they can be wiped out at the snap of a finger. She fought openly and secretly with the local scholars, and she came and went, so she worked hard for this, and her body obviously lost a few pounds. And in this process, Xie Fu's will often came over to ask for comfort, and the exchange documents between the two were more than the invitations that Feng Pavilion had piled up for a whole month.

After getting the household registration register of the Cen clan of the Yongzhou Shi clan, Li Qingchou accidentally stumbled and was injured by an inexplicable arrow.

At that time, Xue Yuxiao was writing documents according to the roster and replying to Xie Fu's inquiry. After she heard Wei Qingyan say "Li Peng is injured", she paused between her fingers, suddenly got up, and returned to the Cen manor with the Xue guards.

She threw the broken arrow in front of everyone, and compared it to the weapons produced in the Cen smelter—the same. This was the first time she had highlighted the assassination and sneak attack on the table, Xue Yuxiao didn't even explain too much, waved her hand, and only said: "Tie it up, and let it fall." ”

The entire Yongzhou Cen clan was tied up in a local prison.

The next day, Yongzhou Taishou personally visited and pleaded for it. Xue Yuxiao only drank tea and was silent, and Li Qingchou next to him whispered: "I said that you are rebellious and treacherous, and you still don't admit it, I will break my skin......"

Xue Yuxiao said lightly: "Then I'll skin these people." ”

Li Qingchou was speechless, and turned his head to ask for help from the servant in charge of communication on the other side. The servant received the gaze and turned into the inner room of the inn inn, and after a while, Pei Yuxue got up from a nap, casually put on a Xue Yuxiao's cloak, and came over to study ink and fragrance for her.

When he rolled up his sleeves and poured tea, Pei Lang lowered his head and sighed softly in her ear: "The skin of a cunning person is very evil, and it cannot be used for decoration. If you are too diligent and love the people, it is better to ask you to reply and listen to heaven. ”

Xue Yuxiao pondered and readily agreed.

Yongzhou Taishou came worriedly and returned surprised. With a few attendants by her side, she spread the news of this matter, and gradually let the entire Yongzhou and surrounding areas hear about it. At the time, it was called "Qingjin Tianmo", which means that Xue Hou favored Pei Lang, and as long as he added ink to persuade him, everything would be resolved, and it was cited by many people as an anecdote allusion.

……

Hundreds of miles away, many ladies from Jiaolongpan got together.

They have changed into simple and uniform robes and occupied an abandoned mountain villa. After the villa was re-cleaned and repaired, a plaque of the Ming Shengguan was hung. In the outer courtyard, there are many young women who have joined the Ming Shengguan, and they are receiving their practice clothes and identity cards.

This sign is not quite the same as ordinary folk religion, and it clearly records the identity and age, the middle level, and the time of joining...... Rigorous as an army. Outside the villa, there are several wooden stakes, weapon racks, and some women who have become a teacher are in the courtyard to strengthen their bodies and practice horseback riding.

And in the main courtyard room, Guan Haichao, the "Ming Shengguan Great Heavenly Maiden Left Protector", was so anxious that she scratched her ears and cheeks, she buried herself in the teachings written by the eldest sister, and when she encountered a word that she couldn't know, she pointed over and asked, "I didn't read the bag when I opened it, and I couldn't recognize all the words...... What is the title of our young master? ”

Zhou Shaolan said: "Compassion shines on the Lotus Most Holy Heavenly Maiden. ”

Guan Haichao suffocated: "None of our sisters are scholars, why do you give the young master such a long name?" ”

Zhou Shaolan said expressionlessly: "You know a fart, in ancient and modern times, there is no one who does big things that disobeys the will of heaven." If you can't remember it, this Left Protector will ......."

"Don't, don't, big sister. I really want to be the Left Protector. Guan Haichao's head was bruised, "What is the auspiciousness of our great goddess, you can remind me again." ”

Zhou Shaolan said: "When the Heavenly Maiden came into the world, the phoenix in the dome was clear, the golden dragon was circling, the sun was shining, and there were thousands of rainbow colors......"

"Wait." Guan Haichao said, "Say it slowly, say it slowly...... Right Dharma Protector, do you remember? ”

Wei Qingyun ignored her, and instead said, "Is the speed at which we recruit troops too fast, I'm afraid that if we continue to expand like this, it will attract attention too soon." ”

"I've asked everyone to practice martial arts well, keep fit, and don't have to go out to spread merit." Zhou Shaolan has obviously realized this, "Let's be quieter, quieter...... Hibernate through this winter. ”

Drum Hit Bell (3)

Chapter 61

By the time I returned to Beijing, it was already the month of Layue.

When he left, he quietly left, but the date of his return was not hidden. Xie Fu personally came to greet the heroes, all the way to the outskirts of Beijing, and the emperor's honor guard was like a cloud. Before Xue Yuxiao could change clothes and wash, he was admitted to the palace by Xie Fu for a long talk.

This is all a manifestation of being regarded as a confidant.

Xue Yuxiao sat opposite her, starting from the sword on the Sima Clan's Wubao in Yuzhou, and talking about the dense forest that hides murder in the rainy night...... Then to Yongzhou Cen's flying arrow, the old lady who came to the door was in a dilemma, and he was simple.

She didn't change her mind entirely because of Pei Lang's persuasion. When Yongzhou Taishou stepped into the door wearing the old stitched official uniform, her heartstrings were gently plucked...... It's just that changing her attitude requires a step to go down, and after hard work, Pei Yuxue handed over the steps, and she didn't pursue it in the face of the magistrate.

When he said this, Xue Yuxiao was a little distracted, and unconsciously confided: "The old lady has not committed any crime with Minqiu, has never scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, and has an excellent reputation in the local area." Since she came under pressure from the family, I have no intention of embarrassing her and making her return in vain. ”

Xie Fu bowed. She didn't care much about where the virtuous ministers were, and focused on the tangible results, and added: "In this way, when Yongzhou Taishou is in the book, I can let the presumptuous Cen family bleed and make profits, and cut off their family's real estate and title, Xue Qing has made a lot of contributions, so these fields might as well be given to you in my name......"

Xue Yuxiao shook his head and refused: "Your Majesty is very loving, and the minister doesn't need it." ”

Xie Fumei raised slightly: "I heard that you once visited the Spring Water Garden and asked for some field shops, how could you not need it at this time?" ”

Xue Yuxiao looked at her squarely and sighed softly: "The ministers are ordered to break the land, just for the peace of the country." If the confiscated land of the Cen clan is given to the minister, everyone in the world will think that this is a gift from His Majesty to bribe the minister, not a reward for the meritorious hero. ”

Xie Fu said: "Then how will I reward you?" ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't shirk either, and said directly: "There is a military government Wen Peng Li Qingchou escort along the way, if there is no her, it will be difficult for the minister to retreat." Please elevate your majesty to her rank and take her knighthood. Secondly, the minister wanted to ask for leave...... After the Chinese New Year. ”

"The first one is reasonable, and I won't let it go." Xie Fu said, "But...... Asking for leave? I also want to reward you in front of the officials. ”

Xue Yuxiao didn't have any expression, he wasn't interested in Xie Fu's praise, and said very truthfully: "I'm tired." ”

Xie Fu: "......"

"Two hundred miles into Yuzhou, hundreds of miles into Yongzhou, during which the grange is staggered, the road is bumpy, and the carriage is bumpy." Xue Yuxiao said in one go, "The countermeasures of the big clan are varied, and even if these rosters—the soil information and household registration registers that are piled up to half a person high, they may not be all of them, and they will inevitably be left behind." However, for these incomplete rosters, I have exhausted myself and eaten too much, and I wish I could grow two heads. If you can't sleep for more than ten days to trim and have fun, and nourish your spirit, the minister simply retires and travels! ”

Xie Fu was sluggish at first, and he didn't reach out to cover his ears when he was shocked by her voice, and he was shocked when he heard the end: "Absolutely not, Xue Qing is my beloved minister." ”

Xue Yuxiao stared at her silently.

The pressure was on the Emperor's side.

Xie Fu had never thought about it so quickly, her face sank, and she immediately thought in her heart about how to propose a reward that satisfied Xue Yuxiao: "This is fake, although you go to rest, if anyone has any objections, I will let them roll up and get out, I will enter the knighthood for you, and title you as——"

Before the words fell, Xue Yuxiao got up immediately, she just wanted to take a holiday, and she was not interested in the future. Xie Fu felt that she was arrogant, and the conditions she set did not satisfy Xue Yuxiao, so she hurriedly changed: "I canonized you as the general of the military government Si'an, the commander is the captain of the school, and the opening of the palace is the same as the third division......"

General Si'an's guards can be expanded to 4,000 people, looking at the government and the opposition, except for the sixteen guards belonging to the emperor, only under General Xiao and General Huan. And the captain of Sili is the secret prosecutor of the capital and the surrounding areas, and the people in charge are all the emperor's beloved ministers.

Xue Yuxiao was not very interested in what official position he was sealed, his footsteps did not stop, he stepped out of the threshold of the palace, and heard Xie Fu behind him say helplessly: "What do you want?" ”

Xue Yuxiao paused, suddenly thought of something, looked back and said: "Your Majesty, my Pei Lang and I went out of Jingzhao together, and the wind and rain on the road were all accompanied." Why didn't Your Majesty give him an edict? ”

Xie Fu breathed a sigh of relief, for fear that he would not be able to keep Xue Yuxiao's heart, and said: "I will give him the title of Sanpin Edict Squire, and give him a rhinoceros horn scroll and a lotus scroll weaving. How is it? ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded and said, "Okay." ”

……

She didn't stay in the palace for too long, and she was really tired and tired, and her thoughts on state affairs were not so clear, so it was not suitable for talking, communicating, and making decisions. Second, Xie Fu's attitude is too intimate and wants to win over, she has goosebumps all over her body for this kind of overseeing of the two faces - she must save her eldest brother back, even if it is for Xue Sikong's care and spoiling, she will never let Xue Minghuai be imprisoned in the palace wall like this and depressed for life.

Xue Yuxiao returned to Ruyi Garden before washing and changing clothes, and removed the air of a servant. Her long hair was not dry, and although the ends of her hair were no longer dripping, they were still wet.

Outside the Ruyi Garden, there are many people who come to visit like a carp crossing the river. The crowd is endless.

Some people guessed in advance that she would be added to the rank of knight and to open the mansion, so they came in advance to offer advice and advice, in order to be a staff member and subordinate under Xue Yuxiao, and become her justifiable subordinate official and Xue advisor. Some people simply come to follow the flames and give gifts, so as not to target her, a noble girl who makes the wealthy families of the gate lords give in......

Xue Yuxiao didn't see anything, and asked Wei Qingyan to go out to stop him.

Wei Qingyan set up a long bench, sat up with a golden sword, the armor on his body was full of traces of the sword, his long hair was tied into a neat ponytail, his skin was dark and symmetrical, his eyes were round like tiger eyes, tall and strong, heroic mixed with cold, and he sat at the door, which was very intimidating.

The visitors looked at each other, and they didn't dare to huddle around.

Wei Qingyan blocked a lot of speculators, but not far away, an empty carriage drove over, and the person leading the way was very familiar. When she arrived in front of her, Wei Qingyan recognized that this was the steward of Taiping Garden, and immediately got up, and when the steward saw her here, he immediately said, "Is the young master okay?" ”

Wei Qingyan also learned some auspicious words: "With the blessing of the master of the family, the young master has not injured a single hair." ”

The steward was overjoyed and said: "It's just right, the master mother invited the young master to pass through the Taiping Garden." ”

Wei Qingyan said: "The young master is bathing ......"

The steward said: "The master mother was extremely worried, and when she heard the news that the young master had returned to Beijing, she withdrew from the Ministry of Work and rushed back. Send a message to the garden saying that you must see the young master, Commander Wei, look at this ......"

Wei Qingyan got out of the way.

Xue Yuxiao's long hair was not dry, and she was immersed in the warm fragrant nephrite, and asked Pei Lang to dry the ends of her hair. However, before he could touch Pei Yuxue's hand, he was invited into the empty carriage by the steward of Taiping Garden and quickly returned to Taiping Garden. Even when she got out of the car, she was not dressed properly, her clothes were casual, she was dressed very thickly, and she was wrapped like a snow-white zongzi.

Xue Yuxiao entered the garden and waited for his mother to come back in the greenhouse with a stove. She dried her hair by the fire, touched the silver Qingluan ornament on it with her hand, and as soon as her fingers touched the cover on it, a voice came from behind the screen: "Carefully burn." ”

She looked back and saw Xue Mingyan wiping a coral tree on the Bogu shelf, dressed in a plain wide-sleeved robe, with light ornaments, simple clothes, and warm eyebrows like jade. He put the coral back in place and walked over: "Why are you here?" Mother is coming back to discuss with you? ”

Xue Yuxiao nodded and said, "How does the second brother do these chores?" ”

Xue Mingyan said: "The furnishings on the shelves are all my mother's favorite things. The boys are hairy and not careful, and I am afraid that they will break things while cleaning, so I will come and take care of them myself...... The charcoal fire is burning hot, and the silver cover is also hot, why do you touch it? ”

Xue Yuxiao coughed lightly and said, "I want to see how hot it is......"

Human nature is to owe a hand.

Xue Mingyan casually picked up the folding fan on the case, tapped the back of her hand with the end of the fan, and said, "What should I do if I grow so big and have always been disobedient and burned?" Aren't my mother and I distressed? Let me see. ”

Xue Yuxiao stretched out his hand to show him, but he didn't blush.

Xue Mingyan breathed a sigh of relief, if this girl was burned in the Taiping Garden, wouldn't it be that the Taiping Garden servants had never taken care of her? Although he and Pei Yuxue are close relatives of Uncle Lang and have a friendship with the same family, Xue Mingyan doesn't want him to care more about the third sister than himself.
