Women dressed as men: powerful officials

Chapter 18 Murderous Intention

The heart that made the wish suddenly sank.

Shen Yichuan was already testing her.

Now Shen Yichuan is alone in Sishui and can't do anything, but after returning to Beijing, he will definitely investigate her as soon as possible.

If Shen Yichuan knew that she was a descendant of the Xu family, would he help her like he did in his previous life?

Could it be that Shen Yichuan would take advantage of the Xu family's unjust case to gain credit and kill her?

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan's eyes turned cold and he stood up suddenly.

At the side, the waiter was about to come over to serve tea, but when he saw Xu Yuan's suddenly cold expression, he was about to go over, but Xu Yuan had already put on his bag and turned to leave.

"Small……"

Xu Yuan didn't look back and said directly: "The tea money is on the table."

The waiter glanced at Xuyuan's back, then looked at the copper coins on the table, muttered something, picked up the money on the table and left.

The streets are still bustling with people.

Xu Yuan held the dagger and walked towards the private school with firm steps.

She wanted to kill Shen Yichuan to eliminate the threats she might encounter after going to Beijing.

However, when he actually reached the entrance of the school, his steps as if making a wish stopped for no reason.

She looked up, the sunlight was blinding, and she suddenly felt dazed.

"Xu Yuan, I brought you into Wenhua Palace because I saw that you are talented, not because I want to repay you. If you have any difficulties in the future, just go to the Grand Tutor's Mansion to find me."

"I don't know why, but when I see you, I always feel like I've seen you before. Xuyuan, have we met somewhere before?"

"Xu Yuan, after entering Wenhua Palace, you have one foot in the officialdom. Don't be reckless and offend others. The students in Wenhua Palace are either rich or noble. Even I can't offend them easily..."

"Make a wish, make a wish."

Memories overlapped, and Xu Yuan was in a trance. She looked up at the school in front of her and subconsciously took a step back.

She couldn't kill Shen Yichuan.

She cannot repay kindness with enmity, and she cannot kill someone just because of a "suspicion".

If this is the case, then what is the difference between her and people like Wei Chenyi?

What's more, Shen Yichuan had helped her.

Xu Yuan closed his eyes and put away the dagger.

That batch of tribute was a hot potato, but it was not completely useless.

If she could get the city defense map of Hanzhou County among the tribute, perhaps she could use this as an opportunity to go to the capital to meet the emperor.

Now, she has no substantial evidence and cannot overturn the case for the Xu family, but she can take this opportunity to meet the emperor, which makes her hard work worthwhile.

Most importantly, she had a reason to go to Beijing.

Moreover, the tribute was presented to the Queen.

If Shen Yichuan could bring the tribute back to the capital, he would definitely make a great contribution.

Xu Yuan had an idea in her mind, so she went straight into the private school. She did not go to find Shen Yichuan, nor did she go to the private school. Instead, she went to ask for leave from the teacher.

She was going to the desert to look for the tribute.

Even if it's just a little bit of news, it's good.

After asking for leave from the teacher, Xu Yuan thought about it and decided to go find Song Xiujing. After instructing her on some things, he packed his bag and went to the martial arts gym to wait for Zhang Yue to finish school.

The private school has already reported for leave, and all that remains is to deal with Xu Wenxian.

Xu Yuan had already thought of a solution for this.

When the sun set, Zhang Yue also came out of the martial arts hall.

Seeing Xu Yuan, he extended his hand to greet him. After naturally taking the bag from Xu Yuan, Zhang Yue said mysteriously, "Xu Yuan, I heard that the Cheng family seems to have hired a teacher to teach Cheng Jie martial arts."

Zhang Yue didn't think there was anything wrong with this matter at first.

But when he heard what his martial arts master said, for some reason, he suddenly remembered that he had made a wish and asked him to practice martial arts well and join the army this year.

Cheng Jie is now doing the same thing as him.

Therefore, the first thing Zhang Yue thought about was whether Cheng Jie would also join the army this year.

If this is the case, then it really is a narrow road for enemies to meet.

"Maybe the Cheng family has the same idea."

Xu Yuan was not too surprised. She had guessed it when Cheng Tiankun agreed without hesitation to let Cheng Jie leave the private school.

In other counties, civil officials were in power.

But in Sishui County, those who have the right to speak must hold military power.

The Cheng family spent a lot of money to get a small official position in the township. If they want to go further, they can only take the national examination. I think Cheng Tiankun also thought that the Cheng family could not produce any talented people, so he thought of letting Cheng Jie join the army.

Xu Yuan remembered that this year's battle produced many talented generals.

And Cheng Jie is one of them.

However, she would not let Cheng Jie get his wish, because only by truly solving the problem of the Cheng family could she leave Sishui County and go to Beijing with peace of mind.

"Should I still go?" Zhang Yue hesitated.

"Of course I'll go, brother. You have to know that you are also very good. Moreover, this is your only chance to stand out. Are you willing to be suppressed by Cheng Jie for the rest of your life?"

Zhang Yue hesitated for a while, and finally stammered, "I'm not willing to give up."

"I'm not willing to give up either." Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Yue and wanted to say something, but when his eyes met Zhang Yue's young face, he swallowed the words back.

She said, "But brother, you have to know that no matter what you want to do, I will support you, and I will not let anyone hurt you."

If Zhang Yue didn't want to go to the battlefield, she wouldn't force him.

After all, swords have no eyes.

Xu Yuan also didn't want Zhang Yue to go down another dead end because of him.

It is true that she is good at calculating, but there is no way she can control everything in her own hands.

It is true that she wants Zhang Yue to achieve great things in his career, but she also hopes that Zhang Yue can do what he wants to do.

"What are you talking about! I should be the one protecting you. Besides, I also want to give it a try. The martial arts master said that I was born to practice martial arts, but I went there too late."

Zhang Yue said, his shoulders drooping, his voice lowered, "I don't want to be like my father, working hard all my life. I want to be like my uncle. Since I can't be a teacher, I can do other things in other places."

After a long pause, she said, "Brother, you will succeed."

In the previous life, if she hadn’t existed.

Zhang Yue would not have broken that leg and become a cripple.

Maybe Zhang Yue will also join the army and make achievements on the battlefield.

It is possible that he would meet a girl he likes very much, and the two of them would spend an ordinary life together, instead of dying tragically in Shangjing because of her.

"Why do I feel uncomfortable listening to your words?" Zhang Yue looked at Xu Yuan and said, "I always feel like you have become a different person recently. Tell me, did Cheng Jie bully you again?"

"No."

"Then what's wrong with you? You seem absent-minded, and, look at you..."

Zhang Yue pointed at Xu Yuan's eyes and said after a long while: "Why are you still crying? You are a man, you..."

Zhang Yue was speechless.

Xu Yuan wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, exhaled lightly, and said after calming down: "It's just that the wind is too strong and sand got into my eyes."

Xu Yuan spoke randomly, intentionally avoiding Zhang Yue's other questions, and then said, "I have to go out tomorrow, and may not come back for two or three days. Brother, please cover for me."
