summer thunderstorm

A man dressed in an ice-blue brocade suit, as gentle as jade, was kneeling in front of him at this moment, performing the etiquette for an audience, meticulously.However, Luo Jinglei felt really hated, hated that this person left as soon as he said it, and hated himself for being helpless!Since it is what he wishes, he can do it himself!Luo Jinglei stood up expressionlessly, and said: "Master wishes, go." Only his palms were clenched tightly, and his unsharp nails were deeply embedded in the palms, which revealed his emotions.

When Xia Qiuyu heard the answer she wanted, she got up slowly, looked around at the other three people's uneasy faces, and said, "I have made up my mind, you three can make up your own minds, you can go back to the capital with me, and go with Leier." The battlefield is worth mentioning."

The three looked at each other and considered their own conditions. He Xiangchen chose to follow Luo Jinglei. He had learned the art of war. Nie Jingming followed Xia Qiuyu to the capital, but Ouyang Fengmao chose neither to go to the battlefield nor to the capital. Traveling in the rivers and lakes, one can recruit capable people and strangers in the rivers and lakes, and second, it can pass news and make the two parties more connected.In this way, everyone also discussed where to go in the future.

However, it is obvious that everyone is in a bad mood. After finally thinking that they can swim together in the rivers and lakes together, today they look back and find that they still have a lot of responsibilities on their shoulders, and they have to get along with each other separately. high.

"Husband, is it really okay to separate them like this?" Mrs. Ouyang, who was alone with the two, leaned on Ouyang Hua's body, her mood was also affected.

Ouyang Hua gently circled his wife and comforted him: "I understand them, they will be even more busy and face more dangers in the future, it is better to let them exercise more now than to have troubles every night in the future."

Mrs. Ouyang also understood her husband's painstaking efforts, nodded, and said: "It doesn't matter, after all, it is the disciples taught by Mr. Bai Shao and Shu Yun."

At the same time, Xia and Luo were sharing the same bed.Xia Qiuyu didn't explain much to himself. In his opinion, the choice of the day is the best way for them at the moment, but in Luo Jinglei's view, what he hopes more is to have Xia Qiuyu's company, rather than to fight for the throne Those are not as important as Xia Qiuyu, but Xia Qiuyu chose to leave him, as if she was angry, and didn't talk to Xia Qiuyu much. This also became the strangest and silent night between the two of them.

※※※

From the outskirts of Piaoxiao City back to Beichen Capital by car, if it takes more than two months to walk by the main road, and it takes more than three months to get to the fief where Ouyang is located, I am afraid that the time for military training will have passed by then, and the battle will be over in late autumn. Fighting started, therefore, if Luo Jinglei and He Xiangchen wanted to arrive before autumn, they had to take a small road and speed up their horses. In this way, everyone would naturally be separated from the manor. It would delay time, it would be better to let the two of them arrive earlier, and it would be good to spend more time in the barracks.

It is one thing to understand in my heart, but before we parted, Xia Qiuyu was still worried, and knew that Luo Jinglei was having a temper tantrum with him these days, so I couldn't help but think of the kid who just arrived on the mountain back then, even when facing strangers, he was well-behaved and polite. Forbearance, but always so alienated, now, this young man is still so close to himself, always remembers his own words, is serious and serious, and has always been sincere.

"Lei'er," Xia Qiuyu was about to part ways now, and Xia Qiuyu took an opportunity to pull him away from everyone's eyes and ears.

"Mm, master." Luo Jinglei lowered his eyebrows and was obedient, but Xia Qiuyu immediately recognized his loss.

This appearance really made Xia Qiuyu's heart ache. He gently embraced the young man in his arms, only to realize that the young man was no longer shorter than him, but he couldn't hold back the feeling of wanting to take care of him. He softly spoke soft words to comfort him , encouraging him, admonishing him, all kinds of reluctance, finally made Luo Jinglei lose half of his resentment.

"Master," Luo Jinglei hugged Xia Qiuyu back, pressed his head tightly against his neck, and exhaled softly, as if afraid of hurting him, "Wait until I come back and don't leave, okay?"

Xia Qiuyu also had some feelings, although the difference today was not caused by him, but it was also what he hoped for, it can be regarded as he left Luo Jinglei, thinking that he would definitely be by his side in the capital in the future, watching him ascend the throne, marry a wife and have children , the emperor's grace is mighty.

"Okay, wait for my Highness to return." He said so tenderly.

The two talked again, until He Xiangchen came to urge Xia Qiuyu to take Luo Jinglei back to the carriage, and also said a few words to He Xiangchen, and He Xiangchen responded one by one, seeing that it was getting late , the two galloped away, the two may be reluctant to give up, but their eyes are firm, and it will be a glorious time to return in the future!

Seeing that the horse had disappeared, Xia Qiuyu also stopped thinking, and said to Nie Jingming who was still watching reluctantly: "Jingming, go and pack your things, we will leave later."

"Ah? So fast?" Nie Jingming was a little surprised when he heard that Luo Jinglei and He Xiangchen were in a hurry, but they were not in a hurry.

Xia Qiuyu nodded, and said: "I received a letter from my father yesterday, let us set off as soon as possible, and then I will talk to you slowly about the plan on the way."

"En, yes, sir." Nie Jingming responded obediently, and then went back to pack his things.

"Since that's the case, I'm ready to leave today. I said earlier that I would go to Junqing's place for a while." Seeing that everyone left today, Ouyang Fengmao didn't want to be idle. As a loyal subordinate, how could he not be the master? Think about it!

Xia Qiuyu thought for a while, and nodded in agreement. It is also very important to establish a news network for Luo Jinglei as soon as possible.

Mrs. Ouyang, who was at the same side, was a little bit sad that her son would go out so soon, but she didn't want to be bound by him, so she had to reluctantly send a group of people out today.

"Okay, it's okay, children and grandchildren have their own blessings, Madam worry too much and it's meaningless, maybe we will set off today to meet that old guy Xiao Xin, so we can get some news." Ouyang Hua guarded his house Ma'am, today's itinerary has been decided, and Madam Ouyang, who regards her husband as her god, naturally promised one by one.

In that room, Luo Jinglei and He Xiangchen galloped alone, very chic, but also tired. In this room, Xia Qiuyu and Nie Jingming took a carriage, driven by Kong You and Tang Juan, driving the road without rushing, relaxed many.

In the carriage, Xia Qiuyu took out a booklet from the hidden compartment, handed it to Nie Jingming, and said, "Jingming, you must remember the people here before you arrive in the capital."

Nie Jingming took it, opened it, and saw that it was a list. There were not many people on it, maybe twenty or thirty, and a lot of words were written behind the names, ranging from their birthdays, habits and hobbies, to official positions and affiliations. , Ability performance, it's just that some people are extremely detailed, and some people have only a few words, which is so strange.

Xia Qiuyu saw his doubts and explained: "Among these people, some of them are no lower than my father. They are all old foxes, and there are not many who can be found. I will wait for you to find them all."

Nie Jingming smiled and said, "Leave it to me, I will definitely write more detailed than this!"

"Heh~ Let's put this aside for the time being. Now take a good look at the relationship inside, and then talk about your own thoughts." Xia Qiuyu looked at Nie Jingming with a confident expression of "Leave it to me", really happy.

Nie Jingming nodded his promise, and sure enough, he looked carefully. He was already wise, and he had accumulated a lot of knowledge over the years. Thinking about starting with the officials first."

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of official positions, and is responsible for assessing, appointing and dismissing officials below the fourth grade.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is Duanmuyan of the Duanmu family. As his name suggests, he is rigid, but capable and loyal to the emperor. He was very fond of the emperor in his early years, but in recent years the emperor has become fatuous. , It also made the princes not in a hurry to win him over. Even if they wanted to please him, they would always let him bluntly say that he was only loyal to the emperor, and the statement that he treated every prince equally made him angry.Although Nie Jingming appreciates such a person, he also feels foolish and loyal. Besides, Duanmuyan has a daughter who has been promoted to a nobleman in the palace, and a dandy son who gives him a headache. Instead, Nie Jingming can make good use of it.

"Jing Ming is smart. Although I discussed it with my father before, I still want you to start here. Now I want to hear your thoughts." Xia Qiuyu praised.

After being praised by Xia Qiuyu, Nie Jingming himself felt embarrassed, but when he heard that the master agreed with him, he calmed down a lot and said his plan: "Brother Jinglei and Brother Xiangchen are in the army. Military merit will be promoted, and officials below the fourth rank are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Officials. If I can be in charge of the Ministry of Officials, it will be easier for them to do something when they are promoted in the future, so that people in the court will not pay attention to the two of them. , to avoid alerting the enemy.”

Xia Qiuyu nodded to express his agreement, and motioned for him to continue, saying that Nie Jingming was also very confident about the next plan.
