Jiang Ying looked at Chen Mingye and said, "No matter what, I'm afraid I'll have to wronged you for a few days." ”

Chen Mingye raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean?"

"You're supposed to be serving a prison sentence right now. Jiang Ying looked at him and said, "The land of southern Xinjiang is full of poisonous insects and swamps, and talents like you are needed to help cultivate grain fields." ”

"Speaking of serving a sentence in exile, I really haven't been to the place where I am serving my sentence. Chen Mingye touched his chin and thought.

"That's just right, don't regret it," Jiang Ying made a gesture of her hand, let people clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and stood up leisurely, smiling.

"Anyway, it's what it should be. Don't bother you, there's nothing to do here, I'll leave at once. Chen Mingye said this and was about to get up.

"It's quick. Jiang Ying bent her eyes, and the corners of her mouth revealed a smile, "I'll have someone take you to change your clothes later, and you can deal with it for a while, and see if this envoy will really come to see you at that time." ”

Chen Mingye hooked the corners of his mouth and said: "I even think that the first purpose of this envoy's arrival is probably still on me, and your side is secondary." ”

Jiang Ying nodded and said: "Anshun City lives in the northern border of southern Xinjiang, since they have entered Xinjiang, I am afraid that there will be half a day to arrive, you have to hurry." ”

Chen Mingye spread out his hands: "You can arrange it, it's up to you, the state pastor, to decide where to serve your sentence." ”

Jiang Ying didn't give in: "Without further ado, let's go." ”

Chen Mingye paused, and then said, "In this case, you can keep this sword for me for the time being." ”

Jiang Ying looked at him with some surprise and said, "This is the sword of Zhenguo, you can hand it over to me so with confidence?"

"Otherwise," Chen Mingye shrugged, "In this world, the people I can trust now can be counted in a slap." ”

He smiled freely, untied the saber from his waist, and handed it to her.

Jiang Ying looked at him in a daze, her eyes flashed slightly, she hurriedly raised her slender hand to wipe her eyes in a little panic, and reached out to take the sword handed by Chen Mingye.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. Jiang Ying bit her lower lip lightly and said in a firm tone.

"You, I'm naturally relieved. Chen Mingye chuckled.

Neither of them is a person who drags mud and water, Jiang Ying still has all the things in the state that need to be dealt with, and Chen Mingye followed a soldier to the outside of the city under her arrangement.

"Little brother, what is the relationship between you and Lord Zhou Mu?" The soldier walked side by side with him, watching him stop talking all the way, and finally couldn't help but turn his head to look at him and asked.

Chen Mingye smiled and said, "What, does my brother think there is something wrong?"

"It's been a long time since I've seen Lord Governor smile like that!" the soldier sighed and continued, "Since the old city lord passed away, Lord Governor hasn't laughed again, and he hasn't even given himself a little room to relax. We old guys, to say something about relying on the old and selling the old, but we all watched her grow up, she took on such a big burden from a child, and she lost weight like this in the past few months, we old people, look more distressed than anyone else. ”

Chen Mingye listened silently before he spoke: "She is still too young after all. ”

"Hehe, little brother, don't divert the topic, you haven't said what the relationship between you and the governor is. The old pawn laughed.

"Our male and female matches are naturally childhood sweethearts. Chen Mingye felt that this old man was quite kind, so he opened his mouth and laughed.

"You kid can really blow, don't you treat my old Xu as a fool, they all said that this young lady was raised by me since I was a child, I have never seen a little brother, you are the number one person. The old pawn patted his chest and glanced at him, as if he was quite dissatisfied with his deception.

"Hahaha, my brother is really a ** lake," Chen Mingye said with a smile, "I'm not the bamboo horse next to her, but I'm also the top half of the gentleman." ”

"Oh?" the old man looked at him with interest, "So, you really have something to do with our state pastor?"

"It doesn't matter what it does, but the personal guards of the state pastor can be called genuine. Chen Mingye smiled, and didn't say the second half of the sentence, it's right to be a personal guard, of course, it's not just a personal guard.

The old pawn looked at him suspiciously, and finally got back to business: "Since you are the person she trusts, I have said some things, and the little brother should not be blamed." ”

"Brother, please speak. Chen Mingye made a gesture of please.

"Okay, I'll just say, since the state pastor has arranged for me to take you, you have to listen to a few words from my old fellow along the way, and you must follow what I say when you go to the place, and you must not make any claims, can you?"

Chen Mingye deserved to be happy: "It should be like this." ”

The old pawn nodded, and then led him all the way to gallop, going down for dozens of miles in a row until he arrived at a deserted manor.

Chen Mingye looked at it from a distance, it was full of barrenness, and there were more than a dozen ragged people working hard in the fields, and several guards on the other side were talking and laughing, and their eyes swept over those people from time to time.

"This is a place where the inmates worked, and in previous years a few wastelands had been cultivated, and it was somewhat better than it was then. The old man raised his horsewhip and said to him.

The popular criminals arrived in the bitter cold land after thousands of miles of ups and downs, and then they worked day and night, and the guards bullied and scolded them arbitrarily, and few prisoners could go back intact.

Chen Mingye sighed and said, "How long have these people been serving their sentences here?"

"It's been almost ten years. The old pawn glanced at him from afar, turned his head to him and said, "Little brother, you will have to change your clothes when the time comes." ”

"This is natural," Chen Mingye nodded, "Is there anything else that my brother wants me to pay attention to?"

The old pawn glanced at him up and down and said: "I see that you don't have calluses on your hands, I don't think it's hard material to endure hardship, don't be tired in the past two days, and I won't be able to explain to Lord Zhou Mu at that time." ”

"Although this old brother can rest assured, I am also from the military, and I have also done these agricultural things in the border defense, so I am no stranger. Chen Mingye replied.

"Really?" the old man looked at him with suspicion on his face, "You are so strange what you are doing with such hardship." ”

"Brother Lao is keeping it a secret. Chen Mingye said.

"I naturally know what the state pastor personally ordered. The pawn nodded, "If you have nothing else to say, I'll take you over to change your clothes and lead you to the guards." ”

Chen Mingye squinted his eyes and asked, "They should only treat me as an ordinary prisoner." ”

"Yes," the old man nodded, "your business is deliberately kept secret, so if those guards have some beating and scolding behavior, you should try to endure it." ”

"Good. ”

Everything was ready, Chen Mingye changed into a ragged prison uniform, put on shackles, and followed the old guard to the guards at the entrance of the grange.

"Lao Wei, Lao Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. The pawn walked ahead and waved at the two guards.

"Lord Xu, why are you here. As soon as the two guards saw him, they hurriedly greeted him and hurriedly greeted him.

A man with some scars on his face laughed and said, "I said why the magpie squeaked today, it turned out that Lord Xu was here." ”

"Pull it down, where are you magpies where you birds don't," the old man glared at him, and said, "don't talk to me about those useless ones, as usual, the new exile is handed over to you." ”

"Okay," Scarface simply responded, and then leaned over with a low face and asked, "Lord Xu, where did this kid come from, and you sent it here personally?"

"I'm in a hurry, come and shop, do you have any opinions?" The old pawn glanced at him, turned his gaze to a fat and strong man on the other side, and said with a smile: "Why, Lao Liu didn't go to play two games today?"

"Hey, don't mention it, I don't know what bad luck I have had in the past two days, and my pants have almost not been lost in the bald black-hearted bank. The big man who was Lao Liu snorted, and his eyes fell on Chen Mingye behind the old man, "Lord Xu, that kid, what's the oil and water?"

"Do you have oil and water?" the old man scolded with a smile, "Okay, I'll leave it to you, I still have something to do, and I've been very busy lately." ”

"Master Xu, you always walk slowly, don't keep your waist busy. Lao Liu laughed, deliberately dragged a long note, and only after watching the old pawn get on the horse and walk away with his own eyes did he return his gaze to Chen Mingye, who had been standing silently.

"You, come here. Lao Liu beckoned to him, turned his head to the scarface beside him and said, "Old Wei, you said that the surname Xu is a captain alone, and he will bring someone to us if he has nothing to do? ”

Scarface glanced at him: "Put away your little ghost thoughts, Lao Xu didn't say anything, you still don't understand?"

"What do you mean?" Lao Liu touched his head, a little confused.

"Just this kid, let's ask where we came, he didn't say anything about a few words," Scarface pointed to Chen Mingye, who came over, and said with a smile, "You said that everyone else has arrived, but don't say a few words, do you say that he is too lazy to say it, or can't say it?"

Lao Liu's whole person was shocked, and the eyes that originally looked at Chen Mingye with disdain immediately changed their taste.

"But this matter, we didn't think of it, and we have to pretend not to think of it. Scarface lowered his voice and smiled, "Don't think crookedly, just be honest." ”

"It's really yours, Lao Wei. Lao Liu came up and gave him a punch, and his fat round face was full of indignation, "Damn, I was almost cheated by the surname Xu, and it won't be my luck to cause something when the time comes." ”

Scarface smiled and shook his head: "How is it, you didn't rub your wine for me on weekdays." ”

"It's kind of useful. Lao Liu glanced at Chen Mingye and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hahaha, then you will bring this kid over, just tell Lao Zhang and them not to cause trouble. Scarface laughed heartily.

"Okay," Lao Liu nodded his big round face, and was about to move, but he caught a glimpse of Scarface, who took a pot of wine on the table and went aside, and his face changed greatly, "You are a dead Scar, and you steal Lao Tzu's wine." ”

Seeing that Scarface's face was slipping away quickly, and he had no intention of stopping, the obese Lao Liu had no choice but to gasp and scold: "You leave some for Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu has almost lost all of his life in the past few days, this is the last pot of wine, baby." ”

Chen Mingye looked at the guards in front of him, smiled, and suddenly felt that from his point of view, these things were not a kind of fun.

"You kid dare to snicker. Lao Liu's eyes were very tricky, seeing his expression, he was angry, how could he still remember the conversation just now, and habitually picked up the bamboo whip on the table and whipped it towards Chen Mingye.

Chen Mingye couldn't twitch, but he didn't want to dodge it at all, and let the whip fall on his body.

There was a crisp sound of "pop", Lao Liu took a breath, and was just about to enjoy the howling of the kid on the opposite side, but unexpectedly he didn't hear any sound.

He looked up in some confusion and made eye contact with the boy.

Seeing a pair of deep black eyes, Lao Liu suddenly remembered Scarface's words just now, and a cold sweat came down.
