Dingbei Hou's doctor brother

On Xi'anmen Street, the double-shafted carriage with a gray canopy appeared again.

Inside, Lu Ziqing was lying on the main seat with his eyes closed, two strands of soft hair on his forehead gently covering his eyelids, and his hands were clutching his robe.

Xiao Yan sat in the second seat, his eyes fixed on the worried face, his thoughts still on the scene in Xingtai.

Hatred, urgency, panic, desire...

I have never seen Lu Ziqing like that before.

At that moment, he saw his body hidden under the warm spring breeze, torn and bleeding by hatred.

I also saw my past, which also had the same urgent desire.

The carriage shook, Lu Ziqing moved his hand, and just as his eyes narrowed a little, they suddenly opened wide as if he had suddenly woken up.

He sat up and pressed the neck that had been hit before. Seeing that he was in a carriage, he wanted to get out without saying anything.

Xiao Yan immediately pushed him back, looked at him, and asked knowingly.

"What are you going to do? You're not allowed to go."

Lu Ziqing sat down and looked back at him, pushed away the hand on his shoulder, and tried to get out of the car with anger, but was pushed back by Xiao Yan again.

He struggled to get up, and this time he was angry. Unlike his usual humble and polite demeanor, he spoke to Xiao Yan angrily.

"My Lord, please let me go. I want to go back."

"What are you going back for?" Xiao Yan held him down hard so that he wouldn't move.

Lu Ziqing insisted on standing up, "That's my business, Lord, let go."

After a struggle, Xiao Yan got angry and held him down domineeringly.

"Do you want to rob the execution ground? Or strangle Lin Yi to death right there? And then I'll arrest you and put you in jail? Are you going to ignore the people who killed your master? Huh?"

A few scoldings.

Lu Ziqing seemed to have calmed down a bit and didn't resist too much. I don't know what he was thinking. His eyes seemed to be lost and he stared blankly into the void.

For a moment, the carriage fell silent, with only the sound of people and wheels outside.

a long time……

Xiao Yan's hand was still on her shoulder, but he slowly loosened his grip and started to hold it lightly.

He sighed softly and spoke first.

"I know you must have endured a lot of unspeakable suffering over the years in order to track down the murderer, but you should also be aware of how much energy and hardship you have put into getting to where you are today. Would someone like Lin Yi tell you so easily? You must not throw away all your hard work for someone who will not get you any results."

"Although I haven't experienced anything with you, I can feel the sacrifices you've made for your master."

"He's the one who gave you a second life. In your heart, you might have already considered him a father. However, the one you want to take revenge on isn't someone in the martial arts world. You can just kill him with a single blow to vent your anger."

"This is the capital, the officialdom. Even if you feel extremely wronged and depressed, you have to endure it."

Xiao Yan's eyes softened, and he moved his hand from his arm to his hand, gently holding it and comforting him.

"Don't be impatient, wait a little longer. Ziqing has been doing good deeds all his life, and he will definitely be blessed. This is what you told me, okay!"

After Xiao Yan's words of comfort, Lu Ziqing seemed to feel better.

If someone like Lin Yi really wanted to tell him the truth, he would have told it that day in prison. Why should he be made to wait until the day of execution?

It is just to make yourself angry and upset, and maybe you can't help it and something unexpected will happen.

This is the result Lin Yi wants.

Lu Ziqing raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Today, I made a fool of myself for the Marquis."

"No way." Xiao Yan said while stroking Lu Ziqing's hand unconsciously.

"I once felt the same as you. I just watched that person standing there quietly, but I couldn't do anything about him. I could only wait. I understand how you feel right now. There will be opportunities in the future."

Lu Ziqing was listening attentively when he was suddenly distracted by the rubbing on the back of his hand.

He lowered his eyes and realized that Xiao Yan had been holding his hand while talking to him. Perhaps he was too focused on discussing Lin Yi and didn't notice.

At this point, Lu Ziqing didn't hear what Xiao Yan said next.

He just stared at the big hand covering the back of his hand in a daze, not knowing what it was thinking.

I vaguely felt that he was making some kind of decision, or planning something...his expression was complicated.

"Ziqing, what are you thinking about?"

"Ziqing?"

Lu Ziqing was distracted when he was suddenly interrupted and gave a somewhat abrupt reply.

"Huh? What?"

"What are you thinking about?" Xiao Yan asked, "I just asked, how did Lin Yi know about you?"

Lu Ziqing said "Oh".

"I have a jade pendant that he might have seen. That jade pendant is a life-saving item."

Xiao Yan half-closed his eyes and thought for a moment, "What kind of jade pendant? Are you wearing it today? Let me see."

"I brought it, but..."

"Just what?"

Lu Ziqing said somewhat embarrassedly, "My Lord, you have to let go of my hand first before I can show it to you."

When Xiao Yan heard this, he seemed to suddenly wake up. He lowered his eyes and saw that his hand had been holding the other person's hand and was stroking it gently.

Although it is normal for grown men to shake hands and hug shoulders casually, it may only be a brief touch in the moment.

Even between good brothers, it is impossible to keep touching each other's hands. It makes others feel too weird.

He suddenly withdrew his hand as if it was burned and coughed dryly.

"...Sorry, um...I forgot what I was saying just now."

Lu Ziqing just smiled, said nothing, and took out the jade pendant.

Xiao Yan took it and took a look.

"This kind of thing should be used by the harem. I have never seen it, but I can help you check it out."

"Really?" Lu Ziqing was excited for a moment, and his hand suddenly placed on Xiao Yan's wrist.

"Where should I look for it? In the Imperial Household Department? I've tried looking for it in the atlas before, but I couldn't find it."

Xiao Yan glanced at his hand.

"It's the Imperial Household Department, but I'm not looking up atlases. I have a friend there who's a jade carver. Any jade carving in the palace has to go through their hands, so they naturally remember everything they've carved."

The beheading of the Prince of Beidi was finalized.

Due to the Meizhou corruption case, the Guo family fell and they fell, leaving the position of commander vacant.

The Ningdong Iron Cavalry had a strength of 50,000, and the attacking camp in Beijing also had 30,000 men.

Both armies are composed of elite soldiers and generals. Whoever controls them will have real power.

Both the Crown Prince and the King of Zhao recommended candidates to Emperor Shengzhi. Even the King of Wu, who had rarely been involved in court affairs in the past, expressed his intention.

But what he said was relatively neutral, and some ministers agreed with him.

In the court, the Yan faction and the Xiao faction began to argue with each other again, and the quarrels continued endlessly.

Emperor Shengzhi's health is declining and he can't stand all the noise, but he is still worried about the two important vacancies.

He knew clearly in his heart that all those nominated in the court were their own people.

In addition, the snowy season has arrived, and heavy snowfall disasters have occurred in some places, causing people to freeze to death or starve to death, with corpses of starvation everywhere.

Not only do we have to consider the court, but we also have to consider disaster relief matters in various places.

For a moment, Emperor Shengzhi really felt like he was powerless.

After thinking about it for several days, I still have no clue.

In the end, it was decided to hand over the attack camp to Xiao Yan for temporary management. As for the Ningdong Iron Cavalry, no candidate was yet to be chosen.

He called Xiao Yan to discuss.

"Ayan, who do you think is suitable to be the leader of the Ningdong Iron Cavalry? Do you have any recommendations?"
