"Oh. ”

Ah Bao just replied lightly: "Since you're back, let's go in!" and lowered the curtain.

The coachman hurriedly waved his whip and drove the carriage in through the side door.

Seeing the carriage enter the gate, the man's gaze could not be taken back for a long time.

"Brother!" At this time, he saw a little lady come to him, "Is this what they said about the Qingyang County Lord?

The man looked back at her lightly: "Say another bad word about her, and I will let someone send you back to Wuzhou." ”

The little lady was excited, and hurriedly bowed her head: "Okay, I won't say it." ”

Only then did the man bow his head, so he cleaned up his clothes, and then walked into the county king's mansion step by step.

The two of them first went to the king of Hejian to say goodbye. Seeing him, the king of Hejian County smiled lightly: "You really came back." The last time I received a letter from your father, this king is still going to stay in Wuzhou. But Po said you would definitely come back, and you did. It seems that this king is really old, and he can't look at people with these eyes, or Ah Bao is more powerful. ”

Qiao Yan said respectfully: "This life was given by the county lord, and it is natural to follow the county lord in this life." ”

The king of Hejian waved his hand: "That's your own business, this king is old, don't care." After that, he turned his gaze to the little lady on the side, "This is your sister?"

"Yes, little sister Qiao Siniang, this time I have to follow someone to see the prosperity of Chang'an, and I can't resist her, so I have to take her with me. Qiao Yan said.

"It's fine. You have been alone in Chang'an for ten years, and you can only reunite with your family for one month every year. It's a good thing to have someone to accompany you now, so let her live in peace in the house in the future! "The king of Hejian County bowed his head.

"Yes, so-and-so knows. ”

The king of Hejian was old, and after saying these words, he closed his eyes. Qiao Yan didn't bother him much, and hurriedly took Ah Mei to say goodbye and leave.

Back in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, he freshened up, changed his clothes, and went out again.

Little Lady Qiao hurriedly caught up: "Brother, where are you going?"

"Naturally, I went to see the county lord. I haven't gone to greet her since I returned. Qiao Yan said.

"Didn't you already salute him outside the door? And I see that she ignores you, and it is clear that she doesn't take you seriously, so why do you bother to ask for hardships again?" Qiao Xiaoniang said unhappily, "Every time you go home, Daddy and Auntie ask you how you are doing in Chang'an, and you say that you are good, but you are so good? If it weren't for me coming with me this time, I wouldn't have known that you have been treated like that by them all the time! In Wuzhou, you are also the son of the prefect, why are you bullied like this?" Brother, you better go back with me! Let's live our lives in Wuzhou, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense. I'm fine here, it's already my home. Qiao Yan said, then turned around and instructed the maid, "Wait for Mrs. Qiao to rest." ”

The maid hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the person away.

Little Lady Qiao was still unwilling, but Qiao Yan didn't give her a chance to speak, so she turned around and left.

He walked quickly to the gate of Ah Bao's courtyard, and the mother-in-law guarding the door hurriedly grinned at him, revealing a toothless mouth: "Qiao Langjun, you are back! These days you are not there, and the county lord has no one to talk to, so you are lonely!"

"Old lady Xue, you are talking nonsense again, the county lord has never liked to talk, and he is used to it alone, how have you ever been lonely?" However, when she faced Qiao Yan, she still smiled at her, "Is Qiao Langjun here to see the county lord? The county lord is in the inner courtyard, please come with me." ”

"No need, I know where the county lord is, I'll just go find her myself. Qiao Yan said busily.

The maid nodded, and let him in sideways. Turning around, she glared at her mother-in-law again: "What did you just say? It's like the county lord is looking forward to his return, is the county lord such a person?"

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, and I will never say that again. The mother-in-law hurriedly bowed her head and begged for mercy, but there was no remorse in her lowered eyes.

The maid heard her admit her mistake, and didn't bother to bother with her, so she turned around and went to do something.

Over there, Qiao Yan entered the inner room, and saw that Ah Bao was already squatting in front of a small box, looking intently. He came to her lightly, and without making a sound, he accompanied her to stare at the two white and chubby little insects in a daze.

Po watched it for more than a quarter of an hour before he came back to his senses, and then he realized his existence.

She was not alarmed, nor surprised, as if this man had been taken for granted by her side, and said to him, "Stretch out your hand." ”

Qiao Yan obediently stretched out his hand.

Po cracked his arm with his fingernails and picked up another insect and placed it on the wound. The little worm immediately wriggled twice, and then slipped through the wound with a thud.

"What are you doing to my brother?"

At this time, I heard a scream. Little Lady Qiao didn't know when she came over, and she happened to see the picture of Ah Bao feeding the Gu worm to Qiao Yan's body, and immediately screamed and flew over.

It's just that by the time she arrived, the bugs had already disappeared, and only a shallow scar on Qiao Yan's arm remained, as well as a little bloodstain to show her what had just happened.

"Brother, what was that just now? Why did you let her in? Why are you so stupid!" Qiao Xiaoniang was so distressed that she hugged Qiao Yan's arm and shouted non-stop.

Qiao Yan pushed her away disappreciatively. "If it weren't for the county lord working for me every day, I would have died in front of you ten years ago. ”

"But who knows what she got into?" I have never seen anyone treat anyone like this!" cried the little lady Qiao.

"Hmm, didn't you tell them?" Ah Bao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "There are not a thousand but five hundred Gu worms that I have planted in your body over the years, and you haven't mentioned a word to them?"

"Gu?!"

When Little Lady Qiao heard this, she immediately let out another piercing scream. "But that witch's Gu?"

"Yes, exactly. "The reason why I chose him in the first place was because he was an excellent Gu test container. You see, he gets along well with those bugs now!"

"Ahhh

Little lady Qiao went crazy directly. She hurriedly took Qiao Yan's hand: "Brother, let's go quickly! Go home! This ghost place can't stay, she will kill you!"

"Siniang, don't talk nonsense. Qiao Yan pushed her hand away.

"Brother!" Little Lady Qiao was about to cry, "She has laid a trick on you! And she has laid so much! After so many years, who knows what your body has been tossed into! If you stay here any longer, you will really die!"

"If it weren't for her, I would have died long ago. Qiao Yan said lightly.

"But, but ......"

"No, but. I said earlier, if you dare to make trouble in Chang'an, I will send you back to Wuzhou immediately. It's only three times, and this is the second time. ”

"Brother!"

"It's not negotiable. ”

Little Lady Qiao's tears rained down, but it still didn't ease Qiao Yan's attitude in the slightest. She was so heartbroken that she could only cover her face and cry and run.

Qiao Yan turned to Ah Bao again, with an apologetic face: "I'm sorry, my sister, she is young and ignorant, don't be like her." ”

"It's okay, it's good to have a loved one who cares about you so much. And she didn't know before, don't blame her. Po said lightly.

"That's right, blame me. If I had made it clear to her earlier, she wouldn't have been like this. Qiao Yan said.

Laughing. Po nodded.

Qiao Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "County Lord, you are really not polite at all. I'm still thinking I've just come back, and you're going to say two kind things to make me feel relieved!"

"You don't need to. "Bao Dao.

"Not really. Qiao Yan sighed lightly.

"Also, she handed it over to you. Bao said again.

Qiao Yan nodded. "Understood. I will explain it to her clearly, and I will never let her misunderstand you, the county lord. ”

"It's a trivial matter if she misunderstands me or not, I just don't like to see someone crying in front of me, arguing to death. Po frowned.

Qiao Yan suddenly couldn't help laughing.

When he found that Ah Bao's gaze was sweeping over, he hurriedly put away his smiling face, but he still couldn't help teasing: "It's been so long, county lord, you are still so afraid of noise." ”

"I'm the same anytime, anywhere. "Bao Dao.

After observing him for a while, and finding that there was nothing unusual about his body, Po turned his head to observe other insects again. Seeing this, Qiao Yan knew that there was nothing to do here, so he quietly retreated.

Back at the residence, Qiao Xiaoniang was secretly crying in her room, and Qiao Yan just waved her hand when she learned about it: "Let her cry! ”

When the little lady Qiao heard this in the house, she cried loudly again.

Today is not destined to be a peaceful day.

In the evening, the gate of the palace was lively again, and it turned out to be someone from the Changsha palace.

"The county king, you are old, you should rest in the mansion! Qiao Yan hurriedly said.

The king of Hejian County bowed: "Then I'll leave it to you." "Then, if he really left, he didn't care about it.

Qiao Yan also hurriedly walked out of the door, and saw the people in the Changsha palace lined up in two neat lines, standing at the gate of the palace. There is also a sedan chair parked not far behind, presumably sitting in it is the king of Changsha himself.

It's funny. However, when children fight, they can actually dispatch the king of Changsha to confront the king of Hejian County, which shows how much the king of Changsha spoils this son.

Qiao Yan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted.

When Shi Yiyi, the mayor of Changsha Wangfu, saw that the person who came was a young little Langjun, he couldn't help but have a trace of anger in his eyes: "Who are you? What we want to see is the King of Hejian County!"

"I'm really sorry, the king of the county is old and no longer has any outsiders. Now I am in charge of all the affairs of the palace, and if you have any problems, just tell me. As long as it's not a matter of human life, I can call the shots. Qiao Yan said indifferently.

"Just you?" Changshi clearly didn't believe it.

Qiao Yan nodded. "That's right, that's me. A certain surname Qiao, the son of the prefect of Wuzhou, has lived in the county king's mansion for ten years, and everyone in Chang'an City knows about this matter, you just go out and inquire to know. ”

Changshi was not relieved when he heard this, but his face became more and more ugly: "You are an outsider, what qualifications do you have to be the lord of the county prince's mansion?

"What happened in the palace?

"Of course......! She actually bullied our prince in public! As a result, the prince still can't get out of bed, is this how the king of Hejian County taught his juniors?

Qiao Yan shrugged. "Isn't it ridiculous that you didn't catch anyone on the spot, and now that it's been a long time, you ran over to confess? Besides, you said that the county lord bullied your son, and she really bullied her? What about the human evidence? What about the physical evidence?"

"Our son and his four little guys are human witnesses, and physical evidence is naturally their injuries!"

Since you say that the county lord injured people in public, why don't you invite a few bystanders to testify? As for the physical evidence...... A certain believer in the king of the county still prefers to believe in the doctor's diagnosis. If you have both of these things, the county king and the county lord will definitely give you an explanation. But if you don't ......" Qiao Yan's smiling face was suddenly stained with a layer of frost, "Then you better don't talk here!"

After that, he didn't even look at the face of Changsha Wang Changshi, so he turned around and left, and shouted: "Close the door!"

The people in the palace also acted quickly, and immediately slammed the door shut.

Changshi was taken aback, and his face turned black and purple.

He hurriedly turned around and came to the sedan chair, and saw that the king of Changsha inside was already so angry that his face was blue and trembling.

"It's just too deceitful! He is just the son of the prefect of Wuzhou, but relying on the prestige of the king of Hejian County, he actually dares to show the prince of my cousin's face? Okay, ask for the evidence and material evidence, isn't it? I'll go find it, and present it directly to the sage, so that the sage can judge it!" With that, he waved the sedan curtain, "Originally, I wanted to say that for the sake of his elders, everyone would settle the matter in private." But now, since you toast yourself and don't eat and drink, then don't blame me for being unkind!"

Outside, the King of Changsha and his entourage left in a huff, but the people in the palace of the county still had to do something.

Little Lady Qiao was originally angry with Brother A, but after hearing this, she hurriedly ran to him again: "Brother, what are you doing? The affairs of their palace should have been dealt with by themselves, why should they push you to the front to suffer? Also, Lord Abao, she still beats people? She even dares to move the prince of Changsha? The king of Changsha is the brother of a saint! Although he is not a fellow mother, he has also grown up together since childhood, and this relationship is better than that of the prince of Hejian County, I don't know how much, how dare she!"

"It's not as serious as you think. Don't worry, it's okay. Qiao Yan said with a smile.

"You can still laugh!" "Little Lady Qiao is about to go crazy, "Even if they are really fine, but what about you? You are the lowest person here, and you have just collided with them head-on, if they let go of the King of Hejian and the Lord of Ah Bao in the face of the saint, they will definitely not let you go! Brother, why are you so stupid!"

"You're the one who is stupid. Qiao Yan touched her head, "You take it easy, it's really fine, you believe me." ”

How can she believe this! Little Lady Qiao looked at her brother with tears in her eyes, and found that the brother who was gentle and gentle at home and kind to everyone seemed to be a different person after returning to the capital. And the key to this is one person - Lord Bao!

She spent the next few days in fear.

But one day passed, two days passed, three days, four days, five days......

More than ten days have passed, and there has been no movement on the side of the king of Changsha. Is it really okay?

Little Lady Qiao was puzzled, and hurriedly asked her brother again, Qiao Yan just touched her head: "Because the county lord is very powerful, they are all afraid of her." ”

It's strange! A little girl, who is not as old as her, just pretends to be deeper, where is it powerful? Qiao Xiaoniang didn't believe it, and felt that the elder brother was clearly fascinated by the county lord, so she went to ask the maid again.

The maid covered her lips and smiled: "The king of Changsha wants to collect human and material evidence, so he must also collect it! There are not a few people who have suffered under the hands of our county lord over the years, but who has collected human and physical evidence? No one present at that time will stand up to testify for them, and the doctor will go to see the prince of Changsha, and the final conclusion must be that he is very healthy. And at that time in the Imperial Garden, Dugu Guifei did not force the county lord to give an explanation, which means that the saint does not care about this matter. In this case, what can the king of Changsha do?

Little Lady Qiao was shocked when she heard this. "That's it, the king of Changsha gave up?"

"He'd better give up. If you don't give up, then the next thing will be good!" said the maid with a smile. Little Lady Qiao inexplicably felt a chill flowing in her bones, and she subconsciously hugged her arm.

After a few days, there was really no news from the king of Changsha. The king of Hejian County is still closed, and Po also locks himself in the house to toss those little bugs. It's Qiao Yan, he is busy all day long, he goes to the county king in the morning and evening to say goodbye, at noon he is by Ah Bao's side and the two of them study insects together, and the rest of the time he has to deal with all the matters in the county king's mansion, and he is as busy as a spinning top.

It's so easy, he just took out a day to take his sister out to play.

The brother and sister took a turn in Qujiang in the morning and went into the Peony Building for dinner. During the meal, Qiao Yan and Ah Mei discussed: "Let's rest for a while after eating, and I'll take you to Leyou Yuan for a walk." The sunset there is very good, and the county lord likes to watch it the most. It's a pity that she doesn't like to go out, so I can only read it back and relay it to her. ”

Little Lady Qiao tugged at the corners of her mouth. "You just traveled to Qujiang, you see that the peony flowers are more focused than me, and I also said that I will paint a painting and give it to the county lord when I go back, even if I have enjoyed it on her behalf. In the afternoon, when you go to Leyouyuan, you have to relay it to her. Did you bring me out to play this time, or did you come out for her?"

"For you, of course. Isn't it by the way to draw and talk to the county lord?" Qiao Yan hurriedly coughed lightly twice and touched his nose.

Little Lady Qiao lay on the table, and her eyes looked at her brother for a moment: "Brother, answer me honestly, you shouldn't like this Abao County Lord, right?"

"I've always liked her! anyone with eyes can see it. Qiao Yan smiled, "So when Daddy and Aunt said that they wanted to marry me, I told them that I would not marry a wife in my life." My life was given by the county lord, and my life is naturally hers. I will be by her side for the rest of my life. I will not let go of any woman in my heart except her. ”

"Brother, is it useful for you to be so infatuated? She obviously doesn't have you in her heart. I've seen it all these days, and she doesn't even bother to look at you!" Little Lady Qiao whispered angrily.

"Then you'd be wrong. Aside from my relatives, I'm the only man the county lord can see. She has more time to look at me than she does to look at the county king!" Qiao Yan shook his head, a serious way.

As he spoke, the corners of his lips curled slightly, revealing a smile of pleasure and satisfaction.

Little Lady Qiao saw it in her eyes, and her heart was even more anxious. "Brother, did she give you a Gu? the kind of Gu worm that makes you can only follow her and never betray her for the rest of your life? That's why you're like this?"

"Sister, you're thinking too much. She's not that kind of person. Qiao Yan said with a smile.

"I think it's so! You are obviously swayed by Gu worms, so you don't even listen to my words, and your father's words are even more deaf ears, so you guard her wholeheartedly. She looks okay except for that face...... But it's not yin or yang, there is no coquettishness of her daughter's family at all, except for giving you a trick, I don't believe that she can have any means to make you stay in that ghost place willingly!"

Qiao Yan's face sank again. "This time I made an unintentional mistake for you, not the third time. But not necessarily next time. ”

"Brother!" the little lady stomped her feet and whispered.

"Haha, I think this little lady is right! That Ah Bao County Lord is neither yin nor yang, and he doesn't look like a woman at all. You have been following her and speaking for her, this move is very suspicious!" At this time, I suddenly heard a meaningful voice coming, and Qiao Xiaoniang's face changed, and then I saw a white and chubby little Langjun walking towards this side surrounded by several big and three thick little guys.

Little Lady Qiao turned pale with fright, and quickly jumped up and hid behind Qiao Yan.

Qiao Yan also stood up and swept his gaze to the other party: "The prince of Changsha?"

"It's this prince!" "The prince of Changsha held his head high, and looked at him with disdain, "Presumably you are the little Langjun raised by the lord of Abao, right?"

"She won't. Qiao Yan said, "She will only cure me, and then make your face ten times more than mine." ”

"Hahaha, you kid has a very big mouth! Hearing you say this, this son really wants to try to see if she has this ability!" said the prince of Changsha through gritted teeth.

These days, he's losing his life!

was bullied in public in the Imperial Garden, and he was embarrassed, and no one stood up to help him. Even Queen Dugu just took Princess Huayang and watched coldly on the side, and waited until the person was gone before pretending to ask someone to carry him away, and then send him out of the palace when he stopped pumping. Knowing that he was being bullied, Ah Niang went to cry to Daddy, who was so angry that he immediately took someone to the county king's mansion to ask for an explanation, but he was closed.

When they turned around, they wanted to collect human and material evidence, but they found that everyone refused to cooperate! Everyone said that nothing happened in the Imperial Garden that day, and that he fell to the ground and fell by himself, and that he had no contact with Lord Abao at all! As for his body, he ...... Daddy invited all the famous doctors in Chang'an City to come and see him, and everyone said that he was very good and had no problems at all!

In the end, a friend who was very close to him in terms of wine and meat quietly told him: "You must not get along with the Hejian County Palace." The king of Hejian County is not easy to mess with, and that Abao County Lord is even more powerful! Over the years, there are many Xiao Langjun in Chang'an City who have suffered her losses, and now everyone dares to be angry with her. Now, as long as it's none of your business, everyone will definitely not stand up, and you will also die of this heart! When nothing happens, everyone is fine. ”

How could it be that he had never suffered such a great humiliation since he was a child!

The prince of Changsha naturally couldn't swallow this breath, and he had been thinking about the means of revenge these days. It's just that Ah Ping and Ah Yue, the two little ladies, he didn't dare to move, and Ah Bao buried himself in the county king's mansion and didn't come out. It was easy to hear the news that the Qiao Yan brothers and sisters were going out today, and he hurriedly chased after him with someone.

It's this kid who dared to give his father no face in public that day. Today, he is going to teach him a good lesson, and by the way, he will also slap the king of Hejian in the face!

As he thought about it, his eyes began to twinkle with excitement.

Little Lady Qiao saw it in her eyes and quickly grabbed her brother's hand.

Qiao Yan patted her on the shoulder, turned around and smiled at the prince of Changsha: "His Royal Highness, I advise you not to." Now you turn away, and it's still too late. Otherwise, I won't be able to save you. ”
