"Don't panic, I'm just here for some personal matters. Zhuge Wanling smiled gently, and then waved his hand to signal the old man to continue to do his own thing.

The old man didn't dare to disobey, so he stopped reprimanding Qin Ke and left during the period.

Qin Ke looked at Zhuge Wanling, a little surprised, and at the same time a little puzzled: "You...... What are you here to do?"

"Aren't you welcome?" Zhuge Wanling's somewhat pale face showed a gentle smile, "Although I heard that the crown ceremony of Daoxiang Village only needs to be done by the patriarch or Li Zheng, but in Jianye City, the crown ceremony must be attended by relatives and elders, so that it can be grand." ”

Qin Ke quickly understood what Zhuge Wanling meant, after all, to some extent, Zhuge Wanling was the person he was most in line with the "relatives and elders" in this world, but even so, he was still stunned and said, "Just for this?"

Naturally, his mind recalled the last time in the main hall, the assassin held the dagger and stabbed out, Qin Ke was in a tense mood for a while, "When such a person leaves the palace, he is not afraid of any danger outside? ”

Zhuge Wanling couldn't help but smile when he looked at Qin Ke vigilantly looking around, and he replied with some lightness: "If I don't take any precautions, I won't come here without permission." With Chang Gong's protection, there shouldn't be many people in this world who can assassinate me right under his nose. ”

"Hmm. Qin Ke looked left and right, and didn't see Gao Changgong's figure, but when he unfolded the wind vision technique, he seemed to be able to detect a roaring dragon-like heart from the crowd, knowing that he was hiding at the moment.

With a person like Gao Changgong, even if he is hundreds of steps away, he can come in an instant, and there are not only officials here, but also many students from the Taixue Academy, and the cultivators add up enough to form a guard, no matter how powerful the assassin is, I am afraid that he will not be able to make any waves.

He smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that Cai Yan was really right when he said that he was a fool, a person like Zhuge Wanling has his own thoughtfulness in every step, where does a little person like him need to worry?

Zhuge Wanling didn't care about the changing thoughts in Qin Ke's heart at the moment, but just picked up the ordinary but meaningful black crown from the tray respectfully handed by the old man, and slowly stepped forward like everyone else, with a solemn demeanor.

It was also at this time that Qin Ke could truly appreciate Zhuge Wanling's tallness, this person seemed to be thin, but in fact his height was only slightly worse than Abu, once he stood less than two steps away from him, his majestic figure could even wrap him in the shadows, like a big umbrella that was enough to shelter him from the wind and rain.

Zhuge Wanling lowered his head and said in a soft tone that only belonged to the elders to the juniors: "I know that it is not easy for you to support alone all these years, Wolong is not here, and you must be very lonely in your heart." ”

A big hand slowly stroked Qin Ke's head, with a slight itch, but Qin Ke looked at Zhuge Wanling in a daze, only to feel that a soft and delicate one in his heart was touched, and the untouchable stinging pain and the ensuing warmth made his eyes suddenly red.

If he can see Master, this is probably what he hopes Master will say, right?

Although living in a small village in the mountains and wilderness was free, it was also cold, and when Master went, he was just a child, running an empty home alone, and after lighting a fire to cook and cook the nursery every day, he had to pass the lonely time with stories among those books that were cooled by the wind.

It's not easy.

A wave of grievances continued to gush out like a tide, as if the sourness of the wanton surging in the meridians made him tremble slightly, and tears fell to the floor unconsciously.

Although he knew that Zhuge Wanling was in front of him, for a moment, he felt as if he had returned to the days when his master was still there, and in front of him was always the mountain that was enough for him to rely on, stable and peaceful.

When he came back to his senses, Zhuge Wanling had already put on a crown for him, his hands fell on his shoulders, and he patted him gently: "Be happy, from today onwards you are a real adult, presumably Wolong will be happy for you if he sees you now." ”

Qin Ke nodded vigorously, wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and clenched his two fists tightly.

However, at this time, Zhuge Wanling suddenly asked softly in a somewhat mocking tone: "Although Jing Wu and Tang have a great grudge, if necessary, I can still send a letter of state to propose marriage for you." Even Cai Yong's family can still find a way to take them over to Jingwu as long as they are willing, what do you think?"

After hearing this, Qin Ke immediately put those sad emotions behind him, stared at his big eyes in a daze, and then watched Zhuge Wanling, who had left a sentence of "lifelong events, think about it carefully", drift away, without saying a word.

When did Prime Minister Jing Wu actually do the matchmaker's business?

Along the way, Qin Ke couldn't help but slander Zhuge Wanling's problems, but he couldn't help but have a warm current in his heart, and the prejudices and dissatisfaction with Zhuge Wanling in the past suddenly dissipated a lot.

It's a pity that when he hid the "propose" part and asked Cai Yan about Zhuge Wanling's ability to take Cai Yong to Jingwu, the answer he got was not so good.

"Bring my daddy? His mind is full of loyalty, patriotism, and dedication, even if he is now at home, it is impossible to leave the Tang Kingdom, let alone let him come here to conquer the failed Jing Wu. One day, if he really wants to set foot in this Jianye City, I am afraid that it will inevitably be a scene of rivers of blood......"

Cai Yan jumped up and down on the lively streets of Jingwu, holding the osmanthus cake bought on the side of the road in one hand, the cheeks on the left were slightly bulging, and there was a little crumb sticking to the corner of his mouth, looking like a cat stealing food.

Qin Ke sighed, and also felt that Cai Yan was right, everyone has their own temperament, and the twisted melon is not sweet after all.

Cai Yan didn't have any burden in his heart, but he chuckled because of Qin Ke's sad face: "What's there to worry about, isn't it good now?" Anyway, with the lord of the country, my father won't be in any danger, just let him unload all those complicated state affairs and take care of his old body at home? There are so many delicious and beautiful things in this world, which one is not more interesting than fighting, maybe he is playing with birds at home now." ”

Qin Ke was dumbfounded for a while, but he had a deeper understanding of Cai Yan's cheerful temperament, and smiled flatly: "Yes." But ......"

"But what?"

"But......" Qin Ke blushed, thinking to himself what he should do if he really wants to propose marriage in the future? Could it be that he and Cai Yan have to sneak into Cai's mansion secretly, and then light a red candle when the night is dark and the wind is high?

Of course, Cai Yan didn't know what Qin Ke was thinking about in his heart, but he just felt that he was a bit of a mother-in-law, so he took the other party's hand with one hand and said, "Let's go, I'll talk about it later, anyway, you won't necessarily stay in Jianye City in the future, even if my father is willing to come over, what's the use?"

Qin Ke was led by her all the way forward, looking at her elated appearance, his heart was also happy, so he didn't think about it anymore.

The yamen of the school office is actually not very big, compared to the Jingzhao Mansion, there is still a big gap, probably because most of the people in it handle some serious cases, and most of the people are scattered around, so there is no need for such a large mansion to accommodate.

However, the warehouse where the case files are stored is not small at all, and after Qin Ke and Cai Yan entered it, they found that the bookshelves were neatly arranged, and more than 30 documents were being read in front of their respective desks while writing hard.

However, not everyone in this case file is so conscientious, on the contrary, in the corner of the entrance, there is a person who actually lies on a chaise longue with his eyes closed, as if he is asleep.

"What's the matter? The man felt someone enter the docket, and his eyes cracked open and he said lazily.

Qin Ke only recognized this person's face at this time - it was actually Mr. Shen Dao, a famous scholar of the Legalist who was debating with Zeng Yu in the Jixue Palace!
