Chapter 125: my first

Call him "Master Zhang"...

Zhang Zhe gently held Jiang Xuening's palm back, and asked calmly, "Any news?"

Feng Mingyu nodded and smiled: "It's some unusual news, but now it's not a place to talk in the outskirts of the city gate. After we enter the city, we'll find an inn to settle down first, and then discuss this matter with the adults in detail. "

"Adult" is still used.

This time even Jiang Xuening could hear the subtlety hidden in the words.

Her palms were slightly sweaty.

Zhang Zhe knew that things had changed, but no matter how they changed, the Tianjiao gang didn't kill them immediately, which proved that the situation was not dead.

He went to lead the horse.

Unexpectedly, Feng Mingyu followed up and said: "Although my Tianjiao Tongzhou sub-helm is in the city, it is not easy to show off with this gang of Jiangyang thieves. To be on the safe side, we think it's better for the big guys to come and go in batches Better."

Jiang Xuening frowned suddenly.

Feng Mingyu felt her displeasure, glanced at her, and explained as if to comfort her: "Although Mr. Zhang and Lingmei came all the way together, no one knows whether those people will provoke you when they pass the city gate. If something goes wrong, you should be with your younger sister, but once something happens to one person, the other can't run away, I'm afraid you will feel uneasy. So the old man thought, if you can trust me, go to the city separately and let Huang Qian bring the second girl Jiang together , this old man will accompany you into the city. I don’t know if it’s appropriate or not?”

Is it right?

Of course not!

It's just that Jiang Xuening raised his eyes and looked around: the Tianjiao church is surrounded by people, and there are many people; Huang Qian is standing nearby with his knife on his hands, looking at this side without blinking.

This posture, even if it is not appropriate at all, is also very appropriate.

She said with sarcasm: "Your teacher is really thoughtful."

She is Zhang Zhe's younger sister in the eyes of others, so it's okay to be self-willed.

Zhang Zhe stared at Feng Mingyu for a moment, then said calmly: "Then respect is worse than obedience, thank you."

Most of the people are already packed.

The horses were drawn and the fire was extinguished.

The Tianjiao people and the fugitives in the Tian Prison walked together in groups of three and five.

Xiao Dingfei was the happiest.

As soon as he got the letter of permission to enter the city, he got on his horse without saying a word, flicked his whip, and galloped straight into the city. Only his hearty laughter came from the distant darkness: "I will go first!" One step into the city to play, and you can still catch up with whoring girls, just take your time!"

"..."

Everyone was speechless.

Led by Xiao Dingfei, everyone entered the city in batches.

Tongzhou is the main route for the southern regions to enter and leave the capital. There are military camps stationed dozens of miles outside the city. It was originally under the command of the Marquis of Yongyi, and the army was strictly controlled. Therefore, there have not been many soldiers suffering from bandits over the years. There are many merchants traveling from south to north. , the time to close the city gate is relatively late.

It's just that once the Hou Mansion fell, there was a mutiny in the Tongzhou camp, and there was some chaos.

By this time, it is inevitable that some people will be lazy.

When it was dark, the guards' eyes could not be opened wide, and they yawned again and again. Seeing that there were plainly dressed people coming in and out, they couldn't raise their spirits.

The first few groups of people entered the city without any danger.

Zhang Zhe and Feng Mingyu are behind.

The two abandoned their horses and walked.

It had snowed a few days ago, and the mud was a little wet, but the weather was too cold in winter, and the soil was frozen, so it was quite solid to step on.

It's just that the wind is getting colder and colder at night.

Zhang Zhe was tall, thin and straight, and there was a bit of air in the wind.

Feng Mingyu had seen many high-spirited heroes in the teaching, but after all, the sects in the Jianghu were a bit vulgar, but the Master Zhang in front of him was very cautious, and no one could find any faults.

Just this demeanor, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

It's a pity that after getting that letter, Feng Mingyu was the first to suspect him, and now he smiled and said: "Just now, my sister seems not very happy. I think it's because I have a very close relationship with Mr. Zhang, brother and sister, and we are separated suddenly. His eyes stared as if he was going to bite the old man. Alas, this old man felt that he had become a villain."

This refers to when he separated Zhang Zhe and Jiang Xuening just now.

Zhang Zhe also had an impression.

Tianjiao separated the two of them, it must be tempting. Jiang Xuening can't fail to see this, but if she can see it, she doesn't necessarily have to accept this tone.

Who told her that she was a girl, and she was playing Zhang Zhe's younger sister?

So when he saw that Zhang Zhe was about to leave with Feng Mingyu, he sneered and said, "The bad old man is obviously looking for my brother for something, what excuses are you looking for!"

After finishing speaking, he snorted, rolled his eyes, and stepped on Feng Mingyu's foot!

Feng Mingyu was dumbfounded.

But the girl left it alone after stepping on it, without looking at anyone, she turned her head coquettishly, and went straight to Huang Qian.

Zhang Zhe almost laughed, so he had no choice but to apologize to Feng Mingyu, and asked Mr. Feng to forgive him for his temper.

How could Feng Mingyu care about it?

He was so old, and it was such a special occasion, even if he was angry in his heart, he couldn't show it, so he could only say "no problem, no problem" with a stiff face, as if nothing happened.

Now that Zhang Zhe lowered his eyes, he could still see the footprints on Feng Mingyu's boots.

The young girl is eccentric, with a temper that refuses to suffer in the slightest.

He recalled the scene just now, and the originally cold lips became a little softer that he didn't even notice, and he said: "Sister She has had a bad experience since she was a child, and she has been spoiled by everyone since she returned home. She has a bad temper." Alright, I'll take care of the left and right."

That's called "not very good temper"?

Except for the shrew in the market, Feng Mingyu had never seen such a girl's house!

This Mr. Zhang's heart really went to the horizon.

It's just that when he opened his mouth right now, he was also tentative, and said: "The experience is not good, isn't she your sister?"

Zhang Zhe then knew he had guessed right.

After Tianjiao received the letter, they did have doubts about him and Jiang Xuening, especially since he was in danger and brought a girl with him. It was unreasonable to think about it, so he wanted to find out something from it. , This separated him from Jiang Xuening.

It's just Jiang Xuening's background...

Zhang Zhe opened his mouth, closed it again, and finally avoided the topic, his face turned cold, and he said: "Old things, I don't want to bring them up again."

This is an expression of scruples and unwillingness to mention it, it doesn't seem like a fake.

Feng Mingyu is also a person who is good at dealing with the world.

He changed the subject as soon as he thought about it, and said half-jokingly: "Then this little aunt is a little difficult to serve, and this old man has offended her. I don't know if Lingmei has anything she likes. She is good at food and play. Old man Let me ask first, and when I enter the city later, I will ask some brothers from the Jiaozhong to make arrangements, so as to make Lingmei happy and relieve her anger."

On the bright side, Zhang Zhe came here under the order of Du Junshan people.

As the saying goes, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face.

It is understandable for Feng Mingyu to be more polite to Zhang Zhe, and even to Zhang Zhe's younger sister, so there is no big problem in saying this sentence.

But Zhang Zhe has long been familiar with interrogating prisoners in the prison, and he knows that if two prisoners commit a crime together, separating them and interrogating them separately will definitely reveal their flaws.

It was just this idea that Tianjiao played.

Just this question...

What does Jiang Xuening like?

Zhang Zhe thought, she likes fancy clothes and gourmet food, and enjoys herself in gardens. She once looked for cooks all over the world to make peach slice cakes for her, but she complained that the ones they made were not delicious. Help the cook out of the palace.

Shen Jie called the troupe into the palace for her.

At one time, the court ladies didn't even bother to seduce the emperor in order to please her, and they served in Kunning Palace all day long, showing her some fashionable gadgets outside.

She likes cloud and mist tea, peach slice cake, treading water, playing Cuju, listening to opera, playing Shuanglu...

Everything fun, everything delicious.

But this has also become an excuse for the ruling and opposition ministers to criticize her. They hate her enjoyment, her lack of discipline, her lack of diligence and frugality, and her demeanor of motherhood.

In a rage, Jiang Xuening cut off all the peonies in the imperial garden.

At that time when they entered the palace, the peonies they saw in the imperial garden were full of broken flowers and leaves, which was horrible.

Some ministers said that the **** who planted flowers had neglected his duties.

The **** who was serving said in a low voice: "This is cut by the empress herself with the scissors. She said that she knew that the Holy Majesty has called several adults to visit and discuss matters in the imperial garden recently, so she specially cut it for the adults to see the sun and spring." Color, relieve boredom."

Those old ministers immediately blew their beards and stared in anger.

Shen Jie came to the Qing palace, saw the messy scene and couldn't help laughing out loud, coughed a few times before getting serious, but he didn't intend to pursue it at all, just perfunctoryly said like a peacemaker: "The queen can be regarded as having a heart." Yes, although it looks like it is, it is..."

After "yes" for a long time, he finally picked out a word.

Then he said, "It's just a little bit different."

Seeing that Zhang Zhe didn't answer for a while, Feng Mingyu couldn't help but said, "Your sister doesn't like anything?"

Zhang Zhe paused, and said, "She likes everything."

Feng Mingyu said: "But my sister seems a little..."

Some picky.

Feng Mingyu did not say this clearly.

Zhang Zhe suddenly remembered that beautiful bird.

Its blue-green feathers cover its wings, and its long tail is as beautiful as a phoenix. It is said to be called "Pennium-tailed Magpie".

At that time, it was still in the summer resort.

The first day he met the legendary empress in the stone pavilion by the lotus pond, and suffered a setback. The next day, Shen Jie took all the civil and military officials to the hunting ground to hunt.

Jiang Xuening was naturally there too.

She was wearing a splendid dress, and she held an exquisite incense fan in her hand. She sat under the tent and only looked at others from a distance, with a look of lack of interest.

Until a few beautiful birds flew over the mountains and forests.

Blue emerald color, very clear.

She was immediately attracted, stood up and grabbed the sleeve corner of Shen Jie's black-bottomed gold-patterned dragon robe, pointed to the little birds and said, "I want this!"

Of course Shen Jie let her go.

Immediately, he told those young men who participated in the hunting that whoever can shoot those phoenix-tailed magpies down will be rewarded a lot.

Those people are naturally eager to try.

But after working for a long time, there was no result.

Jiang Xuening became unhappy.

Shen Jie then comforted her: "Little magpie, if you really want to like it, I can ask the inner palace to pick a few for you someday, and hang them outside the palace gate for you, okay?"

Jiang Xuening said, "What's the point of raising them in the palace? I want them outside."

Shen Jie had no choice but to sigh.

Right at this moment, some soldiers in the Imperial Forest Army suddenly shouted, interjecting, "Isn't the Grand Master's archery very good? I've seen it last time, he can shoot through Yang with a hundred steps!"

Originally, Chengde escaped the summer heat, but Xie Wei did not come.

He stayed in the capital to handle some major government affairs for the emperor, but recently there were a few undecidable matters that needed to be discussed with the emperor, so he rushed here yesterday. The emperor asked him to rest for a day, and he hasn't left today, just in time for his meeting.

As soon as this statement came out, everyone's eyes immediately focused on him.

The young grand master at the court, who was wearing a green Taoist robe at the time, frowned slightly.

Shen Jie laughed and asked him to try.

Jiang Xuening didn't seem to like seeing this person very much, the corner of her mouth twitched imperceptibly, and then added calmly: "I want to live."

At that time Xie Wei had already bent his bow, and the arrow was on the string.

Hearing this, she turned her head and looked at Jiang Xuening.

At that time, Zhang Zhe felt that this well-known grand master, like other ministers, disliked Jiang Xuening very much.

With an "咻", an arrow pierced through the clouds, shooting towards the forest like lightning.

The arrow unexpectedly missed the left wing of one of the phoenix-tailed magpies!

The bird wailed and fell obliquely, unsteadily, and landed on the grass.

So Jiang Xuening completely lost the air of being a mother, and couldn't help but let out a cry of joy, as if forgetting that she didn't want to see Xie Wei, and hurriedly asked the palace people around her to catch the bird.

The palace man picked up the bird, but it was still alive.

It's just that the wings are a little damaged, but they are still beautiful and beautiful, which is suitable for keeping in a cage and hanging on the porch.

From then on, everyone in the whole palace knew that the empress had raised a beautiful bird in Kunning Palace.

Everyone was happy those days.

Because the queen's smile is beautiful, and her eyebrows, which are more beautiful than bird feathers, are gently curved, which is better than that of Luoyang peony, which makes people feel that their hearts have melted.

She liked to sit on the porch and watch the birds.

One sitting is most of the day.

It's just that day by day passed, but the smile became weaker day by day.

Finally, half a month later, the smile disappeared from her face.

The palace people whispered that the empress hung the cage on the porch and sat and looked at it for a long time, but she became more and more depressed every day.

One night it rained heavily.

In the early morning of the next day, the palace people got up to take a look, and saw the exquisite bird cage fell down the corridor, the small door was opened, but the beautiful bird in the cage was nowhere to be seen.

The palace people were frightened and trembling, and reported the matter.

Jiang Xuening didn't respond.

It is said that after sleeping in the palace for two days, the emperor ignored him when he went. From this day onwards, the corridors of Kunning Palace were clean, and there was no more chirping of birds.

Maybe, she really likes fancy clothes, gourmet food, and entertainment, right?

All she loved was that beautiful bird with its bright plumage.

It's just that sometimes when people are in the mountains, they don't know their original intentions.

Zhang Zhe raised his head, looked at the dark sky, but remembered what the girl said to him by the river in the village, and suddenly he was very happy for her.

What about danger?

He glanced back at Feng Mingyu, and said calmly, "She's not picky."

Not picky yet?

Feng Mingyu said in his heart that he didn't see it, and thought that if he wanted to make a detour with this dead man, he didn't know how long it would take him to figure out what he wanted. Such a delicate girl, why are you willing to bring her out, what if there is an emergency?"

If you don't answer this question well, you may be killed if you are not careful.

"this…"

Jiang Xuening was talking to Huang Qian all the way, responding to the other party's temptations, but he was not at all worried that he would show his flaws. After all, it is true that she likes Zhang Zhe and knows a lot about him.

But what the other party said made her heart skip a beat.

However, after only a moment, he had an idea.

Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu had their own plans, wondering who the person mentioned in Du Junshan's letter was, and Zhang Zhe was the most suspicious.

And Jiang Xuening brought by Zhang Zhe is even more unreasonable.

Who is in danger and brings a younger sister?

It's really confusing.

But he didn't expect that after he asked this question, the girl who was originally quick-spoken and witty, with her plain face lowered slightly, began to mutter, as if she was embarrassed to answer.

Huang Qian suddenly thought of something.

His expression became strange: "You and that Master Zhang, could it be..."

Jiang Xuening lightly closed her eyelids, no one saw the sarcasm concealed by her thick long eyelashes, thinking that Zhang Zhe didn't know her nonsense anyway, so she bit her lip lightly, but her expression was extremely realistic With a shy and timid look, he said in a low voice: "My brother and I are in love with each other, but our family doesn't allow it. I'm afraid that people will know about this elopement. Please keep the secret and don't let it out."

Huang Qian: "..."

The whole person seemed to be struck by lightning suddenly, what the **** did I hear just now? !

Chapter 126

After entering the city from outside the city gate, Tianjiao had already found an inn to settle down.

Zhang Zhe and Feng Mingyu arrived earlier and were already sitting in the hall.

Huang Qian brought Jiang Xuening in, but his expression was a little weird, especially when he caught Zhang Zhe's gaze.

After exchanging a few words of pleasantries, Feng Mingyu looked left and right, and still felt that Huang Qian was looking at Zhang Zhe in the wrong way, so he winked at him, called him aside, and asked him with a frown: "What's the matter with you? We're just suspicious now. Him, how can you be so obvious? If he is not an insider, if you let him know that we suspect, wouldn't even Mr. Du Jun be offended? Did you ask something?"

Ask what?

Don't mention this, it's okay, but Huang Qian's whole body is not good when he mentions it.

He said in his heart that I don't want to look at Zhang Zhe like that.

But who would have thought that such an upright gentleman on the outside would have such a thing with his sister on the inside!

It's not as good as a beast!

Although Huang Qian is a member of the Jianghu, he also knows the word "ritual law". He endured it, but he couldn't hold it back, and said: "Mr. Feng, come here with your ear..."

The two men muttered.

Feng Mingyu's complexion changed several times.

On the other hand, Jiang Xuening had no burden, recalling Huang Qian's expression when he heard the words "brother and sister elope" just now, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

She clapped her hands and looked at the inn with ease.

It was already night when we entered Tongzhou City.

When they walked through the city, most of the shops were closed, only a few were still braving the cold wind, selling wonton dumplings. It was very deserted along the way, only the Qinlou Chu Pavilion far away was very lively, which couldn't be compared with the capital.

This inn is also somewhat shabby.

The paint on the gate has fallen off a lot, and the furnishings are very old, and there are no other decorations, except that it has been closed in recent years, and bright red blessing papers have been pasted on the lintel and beside the stairs , but in this cold winter day, there is a bit of warm warmth.

Tongzhou is obviously an important stronghold of Tianjiao. After entering this inn, the people of Tianjiao obviously relaxed a lot. They sat down to eat and talk.

The shopkeeper warmly entertained them all the way without asking their identities.

Fortunately, there were very few guests at this time of year, and no one noticed.

Zhang Zhe is not blind, when he met everyone again after passing through the city gate, he felt that Huang Qian was looking at him in the wrong way, but Jiang Xuening looked normal.

At this moment, Huang Qian went over to talk with Feng Mingyu, and he dragged Jiang Xuening over.

The expression on his face became a little serious.

Zhang Zhe frowned and asked her, "What did Huang Qian ask you on the way?"

Jiang Xuening put her hands behind her back, looking obedient, and said honestly: "Ask what is the relationship between Mr. Zhang and me, and why did Mr. Zhang take me in such a dangerous operation?"

This was expected by Zhang Zhe.

He asked again: "What do you say?"

Jiang Xuening then became coy, bit her lips lightly, but secretly scrutinized Zhang Zhe's expression, and saw that the other person's rigorous and rigid body was not much different from the previous life, but on the contrary, it aroused people's thoughts of flirting and teasing, so Blinking and whispering: "I told Huang Xiangzhu..."

She finished.

Zhang Zhe was confused for a moment.

He looked down at the girl in front of him, unable to react.

Jiang Xuening thought that he didn't hear clearly, so she leaned over and wanted to repeat it, her voice was a little louder than before: "I just said that we are brothers and sisters—"

Before the word "Ben" could be uttered, Zhang Zhe's face changed. Because she was very close to him, he raised his hand to cover her troublesome mouth, and there was a look of coldness between the two long eyebrows. With a bit of thin anger, he scolded: "Nonsense!"

His palms were warm in the cold winter.

Jiang Xuening's cool cheeks absorbed his warmth, and her moist lips seemed to touch his palm. For a moment, she wanted to stick out her tongue and lick him, to see if he dared to cover her mouth .

But Zhang Zhe, an old antique, might be scared to death by her.

So this idea changed in the bottom of my heart, but I didn't put it into practice after all. She just looked at him eagerly and blinked innocently.

Zhang Zhe then realized that his behavior was inappropriate, and immediately wanted to let her go, but before letting go, he warned her with a straight face, "Don't talk nonsense", and when she blinked and agreed, he finally let go. hands.

Jiang Xuening pretended not to know what she had done: "Am I wrong?"

Her demeanor looked fake.

Zhang Zhe looked at her, without any hint of a joke, and said, "The second girl is going to marry in the future, and the reputation of my daughter's family must not be spoiled, so how can such nonsense be proper?"

What system do you want?

Anyway, she doesn't want to marry anyone else.

The phrase "In the future, if others don't marry me, you marry me" was on the lips, and I was almost about to say it, but in the end, I was afraid that he would be more unhappy if I provoked him, so I endured it.

Standing in front of Zhang Zhe, she lowered her head aggrievedly, and defended herself in a low voice: "What can I say? I can't think of any other words for a while. What if something goes wrong?"

Zhang Zhe knew how clever she was.

Right now, he knew that her grievance was 90% pretending, but Zhang Zhe held his breath in his heart, and for some reason he couldn't get it out, so he forced himself to swallow it, but a pain burned in his heart.

For a while, he looked at her without speaking.

Jiang Xue quietly stared at her toes, waiting for him to get angry, but she didn't hear a sound for a long time, she raised her head to meet a pair of eyes with a bit of restraint and pain hidden in the clearness, her heart suffocated suddenly, she thought of her previous life called When he is disappointed.

She was always heartless, but suddenly she panicked.

Her original thoughts of teasing him suddenly disappeared, and she became a little scared, and carefully stretched out her hand to grab the corner of his clothes, admitting her mistake in a soft voice: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I won't say anything from now on, you Let me say what you say!"

Zhang Zhe was silent for no reason.

The hand that tugged at the corner of his clothes seemed to be tugging at his heart.

He thought, why lose his temper with her?

He lowered his eyes and paused for a moment, then he just said: "They are beginning to suspect me. Tomorrow, you will be at the helm. You will pretend to be sick tonight, and go to Yongding Pharmacy to see a doctor at dawn. There must be someone in the capital looking for a girl. The imperial court will send escorts."

Pretend to be sick tonight and leave tomorrow morning.

Jiang Xuening was stunned for a moment, grabbing the hem of his clothes and still unwilling to let go, subconsciously wanted to ask: "Then what should you do?"

But at this moment, Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian had already walked over.

She had no choice but to give up.

Obviously, he had already learned something from Huang Qian. Feng Mingyu's originally sophisticated smile was a little bit more reluctant, and his eyes sized up Jiang Xuening and Zhang Zhe, but he was surprised to find that they were both talented and beautiful.

Unfortunately…

They are brothers and sisters.

Right now, one is holding the other by the corner of the clothes, and the relationship is very close, isn't it a bit of a finishing touch?

In vain he thought that Zhang Zhe was indeed a gentleman all the way, but he didn't expect...

People should not be judged by their appearance.

It's just that compared to Zhang Zhe's nonsense that "my sister just happened to be going to Tongzhou City", the "brother and sister elope" is obviously more tenable.

Naturally, Feng Mingyu wouldn't point it out, and tacitly agreed that Zhang Zhe would have a bad face to say it, so he just bowed his hand and asked Zhang Zhe to discuss matters together in the guest room upstairs.

Zhang Zhe agreed.

But on the way upstairs, I remembered that Jiang Xuening was talking nonsense with Huang Qian. I didn't want to ruin her reputation, so I inevitably had to clarify a few words with Feng Mingyu and Huang Qian. There is no misunderstanding, your brother and sister are innocent." He acted like he understood Zhang Zhe, but Zhang Zhe was completely speechless.

In the end, I can only be silent again.

Jiang Xuening couldn't follow them up to discuss matters, and only watched Zhang Zhe's back disappearing around the corner downstairs before turning around and wanting to order something to eat in the inn.

It's just that Xiaobao with the sky braids seems to have been looking at her long ago.

Seeing her turn around, he quickly waved to her at a table, smiled and called her very affectionately: "Sister, come here, there are hot soup and roasted pigeons!"

Jiang Xuening only felt that the child took good care of herself all the way.

Sometimes they offered water and sometimes dry food, although I always felt that the dark ink in the other party's hands on the first night of meeting made people a little suspicious, but it was not easy to refuse, so I sat down and thanked him: "Thank you. "

The cold stars are in the sky, and the north wind is whimpering.

Dingguo Gong Xiao Yuan led a mighty group of people and horses to rush, and finally arrived outside the city of Tongzhou.

The striker reined in outside the city and came up to report.

The young Xiao Ye also wore a sword and rode on the horse. Looking at the nearby city in the dark, he couldn't help laughing, full of ambition: "It's still Daddy who is smart, as the saying goes, money touches people's hearts, rich ghosts Grinding the mill. What kind of righteous people from the Heavenly Religion can spit out the location of their own lair without paying a hundred and eighty taels of silver! This time we have a large number of people, and we can easily catch these gangsters!"

"Hahaha…"

Xiao Yuan hadn't led troops to fight for many years, but this time he found out his general's outfit, he stroked his beard and laughed and said: "This time, it's not a big deal to bring chaos to the party, the important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to His Majesty showed his loyalty in front of him and made a return of merit, that's why he wanted to get ahead of Young Master Xie. It's not that I don't like this person, it's really important. Ye'er, do you know what is outside Tongzhou City?"

He pointed to the southeast.

Xiao Ye looked in the direction of his finger, although he couldn't see anything under the pitch-black sky, he replied: "It's the Tongzhou camp with 100,000 soldiers."

Xiao Yuan's eyes sharpened.

He looked in that direction, like an eagle preying on someone, wanting to stick out its claws, and said: "Once that old fellow Yan Mu fell, without the Marquis of Yongyi, the Tongzhou camp is in short supply of 100,000 troops." A general will come to rule, and the Holy Majesty is also considering it. But you also know that my Xiao family is quite criticized in the court, and the empress dowager is not too helpful, so there must be a reason for everything. Right now is an extremely critical incident, destroying the Tongzhou branch of this Tianjiao, arresting those who should be caught, and killing what should be killed, it is a first achievement!"

Xiao Ye is a dude, he couldn't hold back when he heard these words, he immediately became excited and said: "Then let's enter the city and kill him for fun?"

Xiao Yuan laughed: "There is no rush."

Then he waved his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to get off their horses to rest up, and said: "Don't worry, when the two groups of Tianjiao people and those villains who escaped from the prison gather tomorrow, we will catch them all and get this matter over with." Neat."

Xiao Ye immediately said: "Father is still wise!"

Xiao Yuan couldn't help but think of the glorious scene when he was in charge of the three armies alone, so he laughed triumphantly.

Jiang Xuening is delicate and expensive, and she is used to living a good life. She has been on the road for several days and can't sleep or eat well. After arriving in this inn, she finally relaxes a bit. It is rare to eat the food and wine prepared by the inn.

After Xiaobao greeted her, she leaned over to play dice with the Tianjiao gang.

She remembered Zhang Zhe's words just now, and after a second thought, she went upstairs, thinking of ways to pretend to be sick.

When she was a child in the countryside, she saw a lot of itinerant doctors, and remembered a lot of messy things in her head.

A swindling Taoist priest taught her a trick.

Holding a potato under my arm, I couldn't feel my pulse, as if I had a strange disease.

Jiang Xuening was heartbroken that the child couldn't be caught by a wolf, so she had to pretend to be sick even if she pretended to be sick, so she got up first and locked the door, took off the warm robe, opened the closed window, and stood there to blow in. After a while, his face turned pale and trembling; then he heard the noisy people playing dice outside dispersed, so he opened the door softly, slipped downstairs, and looked for the kitchen at the back of the inn.

In the middle of the night, the surroundings were silent.

Although I don't know where the Tianjiao sub-rudder is located in Tongzhou, but the group of people will go tomorrow, and they are somewhat scruples this night, and they didn't make a lot of trouble until late, so they all went to rest.

Only room No. 1 in Tianzi is still lit.

Probably Zhang Zhe was still talking to Huang Qian and Feng Mingyu.

All the inns in the world have a similar layout.

Jiang Xuening touched the kitchen without any risk, held her breath, looked left and right to see if there was no one there, then stretched out her hand and slowly pushed the two doors open, entered the door lightly, and closed the door again.

There was some alcohol smell in the air.

It is normal to have wine in the kitchen.

She didn't care.

But she never expected that as soon as she turned around, a strong force came from the back of her neck. It was a strong palm that clasped her tightly, and the other hand quickly covered her lips and pushed her to the ground. Above the door!

Jiang Xuening was scared to death!

However, with the not-so-bright light in the open door, she recognized it in a flash in her mind——

It was Meng Yang!

His eyes were gloomy, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was full of fear, but the skin under his palms was smooth and too soft, and it was only then that he realized that the person was a woman, and his brows furrowed unconsciously, and he recognized her immediately after thinking about it: "It's you?"

When Jiang Xuening first saw this person in prison, she felt dangerous.

However, not long ago when I heard this person talking about Yongyi Hou's Mansion by the bonfire, I was a little impressed by this person, and now I dare not speak, only dare to nod.

Meng Yang's hair was messed up. After looking at her for a moment, he found that she really didn't intend to yell, so he let her go and said, "What are you doing here?"

Jiang Xuening lied: "I came here to find something to eat when I was hungry."

Meng Yang snorted and didn't know whether he believed it or not, he turned around in the dark and picked up a wine jar on the stove to drink.

Jiang Xuening knew it was a misunderstanding.

The other party was just looking for a drink in the middle of the night.

It was not easy for her to talk to this person, and she thought that there was a person next to her, and she was apprehensive about finding something, so she dawdled in her actions, touching a potato in the extremely weak light, hesitating Dare to pick it up.

Unexpectedly, Meng Yang glanced at her in the dark, his eyes flickered sharply, and he said: "Every lady can also play tricks like this, pretending to be sick?"

Jiang Xuening's hair stood on end!

Meng Yang, however, just drank on his own and didn't care about others, he said: "You guys can sing a big show with your own thoughts, take the potatoes and leave quickly, don't hinder the uncle from drinking."

Jiang Xuening turned from shock to shock.

She thought about it, this person's behavior is really weird, and it doesn't seem like he wants to form a gang with the Tianjiao, he should be the kind of slutty person in the Jianghu who won't accept it, so he simply put the potato in his sleeve and wants to leave .

Just before turning around, the footsteps stopped again.

Jiang Xuening turned her head to look at the shadow in the darkness, thinking about the thought that just popped into her mind, but hesitated.

Since his wife died, he lived in the world like a walking corpse, and he didn't feel any guilt after killing his family, but he was locked in prison without much alcohol.

That Mr. Xie in Beijing often sends people to bring wine to him.

But Meng Yang knew that the wine given by such a seemingly good person was often undrinkable, so he never drank a drop.

He gave an inexplicable laugh, seeing that Jiang Xuening would not leave, he said, "You pretend to be sick to get away, right? Then Mr. Zhang is your lover, why don't you leave together?"

Jiang Xuening said: "It's because he won't leave that I wonder if I can ask Mr. Meng for a favor."

Meng Yang is also from a wealthy family, but no one has called him "Mr. Meng" for a long time.

He found it interesting: "You two are hard-working couples."

Jiang Xuening thought in her heart that if she and Zhang Zhe were really hard-working couples, it would be worth it, and the scene of rebirth was not in vain, but Zhang Zhe was like the bright moon that day to her after all, standing on the tallest building and stretching out her hand would be worth it. Can only touch the light.

She was depressed, but she did not deny her affection.

He only said: "I am indeed interested in Mr. Zhang. I heard that Mr. Meng was also from an excellent background, but he committed a felony in order to avenge his wife. Listening to what you said for the Yongyi Hou Mansion by the bonfire, I think you are not true. He is a vicious and vicious person. I also heard that you are highly skilled in martial arts, and I don’t know what danger will come tomorrow, so I am bold and want to ask you to keep him safe. I just don’t know what I can do for you..."

Want to ask a felon like him to protect the imperial court official?

Meng Yang almost laughed out loud.

However, seeing the sincerity of the girl in front of him, he remembered that there was such a person who treated him sincerely a long time ago, so he fell silent, and remembered Zhang Zhe along the way, and after a long time, he suddenly said: "You are willing to be that Master Zhang But what if he hides something from you?"

His late wife also hid a lot of things and never told him.

Later he realized that those were all "bitterness".

Jiang Xuening didn't expect Meng Yang to ask such a sentence, but felt confused and very strange.

What can Zhang Zhe hide from her?

To Zhang Zhe, she is probably just a savage young lady who finds trouble for him all the time. She has a terrible headache and it is difficult to say a few words.
