"Do you know, just because you are a retainer of the Duke of Jin, and just because you said that the hegemony of the Duke of Jin can be expected, I can report you to the official for the crime of disobedience..." "The Kingdom of Jin is sealed by the Son of Heaven, and the Duke is also granted by the Son of Heaven.

Xiaobi was slightly stunned, silent for a while, and then smiled and said politely, "Oh, yes? I don't remember what I said." ”

"Eh, you're so interesting. Before Xie Yu could speak, Xu Xiaozhang interjected on the side. "What you just said can be forgotten in the blink of an eye?"

"It's not your turn to speak, common people..."Xiao Bi seemed to be disgusted with Xu Xiaozhang, and when she saw Xu Xiaozhang step forward, her body took a few steps back.

When Xu Xiaozhang heard this, he was even more furious.

The green tendons between his forehead protruded, the muscles in his jaw bulged high, his fists were clenched tightly, his eyebrows and eyes were low, and he stared at Xiaobi deadly.

But this Xiaobi looked at Xu Xiaozhang, and there was no fear in her eyes, but the taste of ridicule was even worse, this is to have no fear.

Xie Yu also looked at this maid named Xiaobi with a gloomy face... No... How can the daughter of a scholar be a maidservant... Since he was able to save his life in the chaotic battle of dozens of dead soldiers, it proves that this person still has some ability... Turning into a maidservant should have been sent by the King of Jin to protect the star-sung son-in-law.

It's just that why is this person so provocative of Xu Xiaozhang?

In today's era of Confucianism and Mo, benevolence and love for the people, and helping the people have long become a compulsory course for the clan.

That being said... Could this man be a descendant of an old aristocracy who had been stripped of his lordship?Or did this man want to test the virtues of the two of them, to test whether we were the spies of the other?

Xie Yu looked at Xu Xiaozhang beside him, who was average-looking and had no hint of a master, and nodded secretly in his heart.

Yes... This person was the last to arrive in the courtyard, and he didn't see Xu Xiaozhang annihilating the bandits alone... And as soon as Xu Xiaozhang's appeared, these bandits suddenly attacked... Thinking about it, even if it is explained by Shan Xing and others, most of them also think that Xu Xiaozhang is an undercover agent... After all, the other party is all dead soldiers, and Xu Xiaozhang alone killed all the dead soldiers who were trained like soldiers... But there is a big suspicion.

So as the same sudden appearance, I was also counted as a suspect by her.

Thinking of this, in order to confirm his conjecture, Xie Yu planned to ask directly.

This is the quickest way to resolve the conflict.

Xie Yu put his hand on Xu Xiaozhang's shoulder and pressed it a little harder, to show Xu Xiaozhang not to move his emotions easily.

"Ma'am. When Xu Xiaozhang calmed down, Xie Yu put his hand off him, bowed his hand to Xiaobi, and praised him humbly. "Since the person who came to be a secretary, he must also know the etiquette and law, respect and love. ”

"But now the lady has offended the Son of Heaven and insulted my friend. Xie Yu paused and continued. "I think it's very unconscionable... Therefore, I would like to ask the lady about her purpose, and if the lady still has something unspeakable, or wants to test the two of us, please make it clear. ”

"Oh?" Xiao Bi showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, twisted a hub spike in her hand, and then lowered her head and began to peel the tassel layer by layer. "Xie Shizi is really worthy of the praise of Jin Gong, he knows books and reason, he is courteous and actual, Sun is out, and he believes in it, and he is really a gentleman. ”

Xie Yu frowned slightly, although the other party praised and praised himself, his tone was vain, and the twisting of the tassel in his hand was really perfunctory.

This behavior seems to mean that even though Xie Yu has both virtue and virtue, he is not as good as the hub in her hand.

Isn't it a temptation? Or is it also a temptation?

"Ma'am, please speak up. Xie Yu was a little unsure of the other party's thoughts.

"But what I want to say is, I'm not testing the two of you. Xiaobi raised her head, pinched the hub tassel in her hand in two, and said to Xie Yu. "The main house is so high that the two of you can't easily approach it... Xie Shizi, if there is no Bohou family, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the main family, and the two of you are fortunate today. ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Xu Xiaozhang on the side with disdain.

"If it weren't for Xie Shizi's true Confucian style, let me be so sarcastic and humble and respectful, your rudeness would have eaten a sword in my hand. ”

"You!" Xu Xiaozhang was about to attack again.

Xie Yu stepped forward in time and took a step forward and blocked Xu Xiaozhang with his figure.

"Xie Shizi. Xiaobi took out a few knife-shaped metal objects from the bag around her waist and handed them to Xie Yu. "This is the latest 'sword shield' issued by the Jin Kingdom, with which it can be exchanged for coins at any bank in the Jin Kingdom. This is the remuneration of the son-in-law to the two... Please leave first. ”

... Now it was Xie Yu's turn to be speechless.

It turns out that this person is really arrogant... There is no ladylike behavior.

In the words of Gong Yi Mu Jiu... is really a sister-in-law, a philistine and rude.

Xie Yu did not reach out to take the 'sword and shield', but arched his hand and asked.

"Is it really the tariff that Gongzi Xing wants us to give us?"

"Yes. Xiaobi nodded, "We are going to leave for Jin tomorrow, and today we encounter ambushes, and the official road is afraid of danger, so we can't go with the two of you." ”

Xiaobi spoke more casually, and seeing that Xie Yu was unwilling to accept this 'sword and shield', he put it back in his bag indifferently.

"I've said everything I have to say. Xiaobi sat up from the pile and patted the crumbs in her hands, not raising her eyelids. "Please, two of you... I'll go back first. ”

Xie Yu and Xu Xiaozhang did not speak.

Xiaobi turned around and walked out of the barn.

......

"Who does she think she is?!" After Xiaobi left, Xu Xiaozhang could not vent his anger in his chest.

He has always been known as Nanxia, admired and loved, but he has never suffered this kind of grievance since he became famous.

"Typical aristocratic style!" Xu Xiaozhang slapped his palm into the grain pile, and Qi exploded in the valley, and for a while the debris flew all over the sky, deafening.

"No..." Xie Yu shook his head and looked deeply in the direction where Xiao Bi had just stood. "This person doesn't respect etiquette, doesn't learn Confucianism... But it can be so reused by Jin Gong... I'm afraid that rumor is true. ”

"What rumors?" Xu Xiaozhang Gang was still scolding the little thief mother-in-law viciously, and when he heard the word rumor, his eyes straightened, and he asked directly.

"It is rumored that the Duke of Jin reuses the former Korean Gongsun Han Wei... I want to use a variation... to turn this Confucianism upside down. Xie Yu's heart was heavy. “... That Han Wei's study and its harshness... As early as because of his change of law in Qilu, the people were not able to make a living, and they even almost mutinied..."

"What does this Han Wei have to do with that thief's mother-in-law who doesn't respect Rumo?" Xu Xiaozhang also frowned when he heard this. "Not to mention Confucianism... Isn't the Mo family really doing things for the people?"

Xie Yu saw the big from the small and asserted.

"His people listed the three families of Confucianism, Mo, and Zongheng, along with merchants and those who suffered from the emperor, as the five beetles..."Xie Yu paused. "Threatens to use Confucianism to disrupt the law, and chivalry to violate the prohibition with force. ”

"What does that mean?!" Xu Xiaozhang didn't know why, tilted his head and asked Xie Yu.

Xie Yu was silent for a while and returned to the Tao. "It means that the Duke of Jin intends to suppress the Confucian and Mo factions... In other words, the Jin Gong has a great plan..."

......

"Then where am I going?" Xu Xiaozhang didn't notice the worried Xie Yu, anyway, he didn't understand the conspiracy of the powerful people... His main concern now is what to do next. "Since the daughter of the Duke of Jin doesn't know what to do, then let her go... Saying... Isn't your friend still behind bars, and how can he still have time to agree to escort someone?"

Xie Yu was stopped by Xu Xiaozhang, and was speechless again. "Because I promised the Golden Tribute... Besides, although my friend's matter is urgent, he is the key to the plan of those bandits, and he will not be harmed easily, so I am not in a hurry. ”

"Originally, I was planning to infiltrate Luoyi or follow the caravan to Fufeng to find a way to rescue me, but now that I met you, I changed my mind. As he spoke, Xie Yu glanced at Xu Xiaozhang, who was standing stupidly beside him.

I can't help but have some doubts in my heart.

Was this person really the murderous and ruthless gluttonous at that time?

"It means that I am strong?" Xu Xiaozhang asked happily after listening to Xie Yu's words.

"What's more?" Xie Yu said solemnly. "Your Excellency's martial arts are enough to be on the list. ”

When Xu Xiaozhang heard this, it was his turn to be speechless. "I said I was Xu Xiaozhang. ”

Xie Yu looked at Xu Xiaozhang's serious expression and smiled slightly embarrassed.

"If you don't emphasize this, then talk less, and then... And with a dark green knife by his side, maybe I'll take it seriously. Xie Yu also commented on Xu Xiaozhang in front of him a little seriously.

...

Xu Xiaozhang didn't speak again, walked straight to the edge of the grain pile, and then turned over and lay on it, without saying anything more.

Xie Yu smiled, and also turned around and returned to the grain pile he chose.

"Rest well. He shouted loudly at Xu Xiaozhang's back.

"And then tomorrow... We're going to meet the Blue Heaven Sect. ”

......
