Xue Huan
Chapter 54
Menghua Building is really lively today.Downstairs, the second brother was busy refilling tea and water, tables and tables of diners were eating melon seeds and peanuts and chatting together. The topic of conversation was the anecdote that Li Xunhuan and the others heard in the inn where they stayed yesterday.
"You didn't see that cowardly Young Master Zhan!" A young man slapped the table, and the melon seeds in his mouth flew in all directions. The people at the same table wiped their faces in disgust, but still stared at He waited for him to speak.The man smiled embarrassedly, then lifted his spirits and continued:
"In a few days, the young master of the Zhan family will have a competition with a person. You have never seen that person. He is like a god. You can't compare with that coward Zhan Ao. Although he didn't say much, but his demeanor, his temperament, That aura, just one word!" The man gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely!"
"Pull it down, Feng Lao Si, did you dream of an immortal last night? Besides, that Young Master Zhan, isn't he said to be a benevolent master? How did he offend you? You run on him like that."
"Ah bah, you have a kind heart, Xiao Qi, you haven't been here long, and you can believe whatever the rumor says. If it wasn't for that time when he accidentally heard behind his back that he wanted to raise the rent of the old Huang's house at the end of the street by [-]% , I really thought he was a Bodhisattva descending to earth!"
"Old Huang at the end of the street, didn't his family just suffer a disaster, and only their grandparents and grandson were left to depend on each other, and the price increase was [-]%? Isn't that killing them?" The little man named Xiao Qi almost spit out a sip of tea. .
"Isn't it... Originally, the land rent of his house was suppressed by the second young master Zhan and did not increase, but now that the young master has come back, it has risen so much. This is really.... Fortunately, that person still said in front of the villagers that he would give it to the old Huang's family. Rent reduction, who would have thought it would be done behind the scenes, alas!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, it's not that they have never seen a person who is in the same way in person, but the contrast is too great...
"No, he said that he wanted to reduce the rent. He really reduced the rent for Wang Xiucai's house in the south of the city." Some people wondered, it was said by Wang Xiucai himself.
"Tch, haven't you seen that Wang Xiucai has a precious daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and has been studying for two years. How can this person go back and forth in front of a beauty?"
Everyone was speechless. Although Young Master Zhan looked domineering, he didn't do anything harmful. Who wants to work hard for the family for so many years, but now he has been kicked out and hasn't received a penny.And talking about the benevolent and kind young master doing such immoral things behind his back, really... oh...
The house in the south of the city has been sold, the location is good, the house is beautiful, and it occupies a large area.It turned out that the owner had moved and had been waiting to sell it. Many people were jealous, but they couldn't afford the price to satisfy that person.But a few days ago, there was a wealthy customer who spent a lot of money without saying a word. The original owner laughed from ear to ear and quickly packed up and moved out. He also helped arrange a lot of furniture. He wanted to help more. , Who would have thought that the servants of that family didn't let him intervene at all.
Seeing the truckloads of furniture and accessories that were brought in, each piece was extremely expensive, the original owner stared wide-eyed. Compared with this new buyer, the rich and powerful in the whole city were all nouveau riche. Taste, he wanted to find out who this person was, but the butler was really aura, and with a light glance, his full of fawning stopped...
"Xunhuan, I have retired the house here. We should stay here for a long time. I bought a house and it has been settled now."
Li Xunhuan was talking at Bai~Wan Xiao! Hearing this, he looked up at Ximen Chuuxue.He was thoughtful, since he planned to help Xiaoxiang deal with the group of indifferent family members, he naturally had to stay here for a long time, he nodded and said:
"Call Xiao Xiang and Ah Fei to go with them."
"nature."
Li Xun laughed, there was always a feeling that the whole family moved together.
A solid and exquisite carriage stopped in front of the newly renovated house in the south of the city.This house used to look rich and grand, but now the atmosphere has not diminished at all, but it is more elegant and graceful. Everyone stretched their necks to see who the owner of such a mansion is, especially in the city. All the merchants are waiting eagerly, such a wealthy person may be able to make several big deals again!
Ximen Chuuxue and Li Xunhuan got out of the car together, and stood at the door of the new house, Li Xunhuan looked up, but there was no sign on the door.Turn around and ask the person next to you:
"No door plaque?"
"Wait for you to mention it." Ximen Chuuxue said lightly.
Li Xun Huan was taken aback, thought for a while, then smiled wryly:
"I really can't figure it out for a while. Could it be called Wanmei Villa? Actually, there is nothing wrong..."
Ximen Chuuxue shook his head, "Since you can't figure it out, how about calling this place 'Li Yuan'?"
Li Xun Huan was stunned again, his eyes were a little dazed... Li Yuan... Li Yuan in the past, Xingyun Manor in the future... He had no way of knowing what happened after that.And there is another Li Garden in front of him, but it is not the Li Garden he used to be... But, he turned his head to look at the worried Ximen Chuuxue, he always knew what he was thinking...
Responded with a smile:
"Okay, let's call it Li Yuan."
Ximen Chuuxue raised the corners of his lips, and ordered the servants at the door to hang up the door plaques that had been prepared earlier. The people who craned their necks to watch finally knew that the owner of this place was named Li...
Two days later, Zhan Ao sent someone to announce that he will compete with Li Xun Huan on the fifth day of next month.First, there will be a competition of Wendou, Qin, Chess, Poetry, Calligraphy and painting, and the old Hanlin who recently retired and returned to his hometown will be invited to arbitrate, and then there will be a martial arts fight.The competition adopts an elimination system, and the side standing at the end wins, and both sides can ask people to help out.
Hearing the news, Li Xunhuan's expression became weird, and he curiously asked Zhan Xiaoxiang beside him:
"Could it be that this person...does everyone know what he does?"
Zhan Xiaoxiang curled his lips and said:
"Not all of them, but as long as it is something that can make him stand out, it must be known by everyone. His mother has the same virtue as him."
Li Xun Huan's expression became even weirder, "Does he think he is guaranteed to win?"
Zhan Xiang's face twisted for a moment, he was also curious where this man's confidence came from...
"For pleasure, it is important for a man to have self-knowledge, but now it is clear that he still lacks the luxury of 'self-knowledge'." Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently, in his opinion, there was no suspense in this competition at all.
"Yes, brother, if the tit hadn't been bitten by a tiger, it would never know that tigers cannot be easily provoked." A Fei said lightly, he obviously had the same opinion as Ximen Chuuxue on this matter.
Li Xun Huan nodded, he knew it when he knew it, he had gone through more than three hundred duels, big and small, without retreating, and now that the opponent is so unbearable, it is even more impossible for him to retreat.
Everyone had a good time, eating and drinking to see what kind of trouble Zhan Ao can make!
It's only the seventh day of the lunar new year, and there is still nearly a month until the fifth day of the next month. At first, Li Xunhuan wondered why the time was set so far away, but a few days later when he went to a teahouse for dinner and heard people talking about it in the streets, he seemed to understand a little bit. Why did Zhan Ao announce the news so early... I am a bit dumbfounded at the moment, the world is so big, there are really everyone...
"Master Zhuo, we are almost in Shanxi."
Zhuo Donglai nodded, the sphere of influence of the Great Escort Bureau was getting wider and wider, faintly touching the border of Shanxi, but it was still a little bit worse at the moment.He ordered the road scouts to book an inn there first, got on the horse himself, and led the team to follow behind.He is confident that in less than a month, the branch of the Shanxi Security Bureau will be established, and there will be no need for such troubles.Even his enemies would not doubt what Zhuo Donglai believed.
At the entrance of the inn, Zhuo Donglai got off his horse, Zhuo Ying took the horse and handed it to Xiaoer who came up to him, saying:
"Drink the horse, and serve a few more tables of wine and food, hurry up!"
"Yes, my lord!"
A few people walked into the inn, and not long after they were seated, an escort bowed to Zhuo Donglai's side, and said in a low voice:
"Master Zhuo, I received a message from the capital."
Zhuo Donglai's eyelids twitched, since he didn't say it was the Escort Bureau from the capital, it could only be there.In the past few days, letters have been sent to him asking when he will return, but he has not responded.But this time... as usual?
He took the letter and shook it open for a look, then he was taken aback, no one noticed that his face turned pale for a moment.He lowered his eyes, no one could see his expression clearly, the huge hall was filled with silence.All the subordinates held their breath and looked at each other. What was written in the letter?
"Zhuo Ying," Zhuo Donglai said after a while.Hearing the voice, Zhuo Ying was startled, maybe it was his illusion, he seemed to think that Master's voice was a little hoarse.
"exist!"
"For a letter, someone prepares a generous gift and sends it to the palace."
"This subordinate is talkative, dare to ask Master Zhuo, what standard is used to prepare this ceremony?"
Zhuo Donglai looked at him silently, with a snow-white complexion and dark eyes, Zhuo Ying bowed even lower.
"Wedding gift." Zhuo Donglai said with a mocking smile.After all, Huo stood up, went upstairs and went back to his room.
"You don't need to deliver dinner." He finally ordered.
"...Yes." Zhuo Ying froze for a while before replying.In fact, I should ask if I need to add any words... But depending on the situation, it should not be necessary.
Zhuo Donglai sat on the bed with an indistinguishable expression, and it took him a long time to exhale slowly, leaning on the bedpost, staring at the curtain in a daze, the tiredness and pain in his eyes were not hidden at all.
How did he feel when he heard the news that Sima Chaoqun was married?I can't remember clearly... But at that time, he was able to arrange and handle all the daily affairs perfectly, so that no one could see the slightest clue, but now, he didn't even have the strength to pretend...
He has been running around for several days, and he has not closed his eyes for several days. He just stared openly until dawn, and then pretended that nothing happened, and continued on the next day... He thought he could do it, but... He took a deep breath Take a breath, slowly close your eyes...
I thought we were friends...
This life will never be negative......
East.....
If there is a next time, I will kill you...
He put his hands on his eyes, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying... How did we get to this point?
next day:
Zhuo Donglai came out of the room, Zhuo Ying was waiting beside him, he was very shocked... Master's complexion is so bad...
"Master, on the fifth day of next month, I heard that the big Zhan family here wants to compete with others."
Zhuo Donglai lifted up his clothes and sat down, glanced at Zhuo Ying, and continued:
"It's just... I heard that the object of his competition is Lord Li..." He had a strange expression when he said this, the strange thing is how much weight this person has to dare to make such a rumor.
Other than Zhuo Donglai, Li Xunhuan was the only one who could be called a master in the bodyguard bureau.Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said:
"Senior, they are also in Shanxi at this moment?"
"Master Hui, yes, they live in Li Yuan in the south of the city."
Li Yuan...... There is also a Li Yuan here, which should be written by Ximen Chuuxue.
"Go and say hello before we hit the road."
"Yes."
After the meal, when Zhuo Donglai got up, he was unsteady and almost fell down. He supported the table with one hand, and his eyes were a little dizzy.
His subordinates were shocked, Zhuo Ying strode up and stretched out his hand to help, and cried out in alarm:
"Master Zhuo!"
Zhuo Donglai waved his hand, signaling not to panic, he's fine... In fact, he also knew that he was reaching his limit.After all, people are not made of iron. They can last for a while without eating, but not sleeping will cause great mental damage. In addition, he has a heavy mind and hasn't rested for a long time. After being hit by the news yesterday, he can still get up this morning. It's not easy anymore.
"Master, rest here! You don't need to go out for this escort." Zhuo Ying knelt down on one knee, he had endured it for a long time, even if he was punished by Zhuo Donglai afterwards, he still had to speak out!He could see clearly why Zhuo Donglai ran out, he could do nothing about the matter between the masters, but it was impossible for him to continue to watch Zhuo Donglai to torment himself like this.
Zhuo Donglai gave him a sideways look and said:
"You should know that there are always obedient people around me."
Zhuo Ying buried her head even lower, and said stubbornly:
"Master Zhuo, please rest, otherwise please step over the corpse of your subordinate."
Zhuo Donglai squinted his eyes, it was the opposite!
"Do you think I dare not?"
As soon as these words came out, a large group of subordinates around him all knelt down and said in unison:
"Please take care of your body!"
Zhuo Donglai's eyes darkened, he smiled back in anger, and said:
"Reverse you!"
Everyone trembled, but no one was willing to move.
In fact, Zhuo Ying wanted to say: Lord, a guy like Ye Gucheng is not worth it!But he also knew that once these words came out, he wouldn't have to stay by Zhuo Donglai's side anymore.
Looking at the blackness in front of his head, Zhuo Donglai only felt that his heart was blocked, everything was really not going well!Okay you guys, do you really think I dare not? !He raised his breath suddenly, but his eyes went dark, and then he fell unconscious...
When he woke up again, he saw Li Xun Huan's gentle smile on his face, and he said:
"Donglai, you finally woke up!"
"Yeah, you've been in a coma for a day and a night, and you finally woke up..." A light voice came from behind Li Xun Huan, Second Young Master Zhan, is he there?Then I heard him count and say:
"Boss, I didn't even notice that I was burning so badly. Fortunately, I met us. Don't blame your subordinates. When they brought you here, they all turned pale, and you were in a coma. Everyone knelt down in the courtyard neatly, no matter how hard they pulled it up, if you blame them again, maybe you really collectively apologized with death!"
Zhuo Donglai was silent for a while and said:
"Thank you, senior." He said with a tired tone:
"Senior, please tell Zhuo Ying and the others, I have complied with their request."
"Xiao Xiang, you go." Li Xun Huan said to push him away.
Zhan Xiaoxiang nodded, he knew that his elder brother had something to say to Zhuo Dong.
"Ximen said that you were overwhelmed, your body was exhausted, and the wind and cold entered your body, that's why you fell..." Li Xunhuan sighed softly. Of course he knew what was going on, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him. He... "Don't think too much, just take a good rest here, I'm leaving first, you can sleep later."
Zhuo Donglai didn't speak, lowered his eyes, and waited for Li Xunhuan to walk to the door before he heard him softly: He is going to choose a concubine...
In a blink of an eye, he saw that his posture had not changed, as if it was an auditory hallucination just now.... He sighed again helplessly...What is love?What is love......
"He's awake?" Ximen Chuuxue asked.Zhan Xiang and A Fei were also there, and they both looked at Li Xun Huan.
Li Xun Huan nodded and said:
"Simen, these two people are really capable of tossing around, can you find a way?"
Before Ximen Chuuxue could speak, Zhan Xiaoxiang said hesitantly:
"Brother...that.....I am editing the book in the name of Brother Ximen and sent someone to send it to Ye Gucheng urgently, saying...cough..." He was a little embarrassed, and continued:
"Tell him, Zhuo Donglai was seriously injured, and now he's getting more and more sick, so he needs to come and see him one last time." Seeing Li Xunhuan's eyes widen in surprise, he hastily added:
"This is Ah Fei's idea! Also, Brother Ximen has already agreed!" These two are the masterminds, he just moved faster...
Li Xun Huan looked at A Fei again, really couldn't see that A Fei could come up with such a "wicked" idea.Ah Fei's eyes flickered... He has stayed by Wang Lianhua's side for so long... I have seen this method several times...
Li Xunhuan looked at Ximen Chuuxue again, did he actually agree? !
Ximen Chuuxue curled his lips, got up and pulled Li Xunhuan into the inner room, maybe Li Xunhuan was too sensitive, he felt that Ximen Chuuxue's smile was a little... bad?As he walked, he said:
"I know Ye Gucheng well, if you don't take strong medicine, these two people will drag on like this forever..."
And Ye Gucheng, who is about to be drugged at this time, is now...
Before the fifth watch arrived, he straightened up from the bed with a hush, with cold sweat still on his forehead.He closed his eyes, collected himself, and tried his best to drive the dream out of his mind...
He dreamed that Zhuo Donglai stuck a sword in his chest, it was his Overseas Cold Iron.He saw that he was still laughing, sadly and ironically, because the other end of the sword was in his hand.He was heartbroken, he wanted to scream but couldn't, he wanted to draw his sword, but instead he pushed the sword a little deeper... Finally he watched Zhuo Donglai disappear under his sword... ..
His heart ached like being torn apart, but he didn't even have the right to suffer...
Dawn has come, fortunately, it's just a dream.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Escort Bureau sent someone to deliver six boxes of congratulatory gifts. Are they in storage now or do you want to check them?"
"No other words?" Ye Gucheng's face was dark.
"Return to Your Majesty...No..." The eunuch hesitated, what more could he say?
"Go down." Ye Gucheng's eyes were turbulent... Are you just watching me get married like this?
"If you don't want to get married, no one can force you. The court is stable, and I'm still here. You don't need to rely on your in-laws to maintain the government." King Anding looked at Ye Gucheng worriedly, and he saw that something was wrong with him these days.
Ye Gucheng pulled out a comforting smile and shook his head slowly.
However, after a while, he couldn't even hold back his laughter. A sweaty little eunuch ran in and said in a trembling voice:
"Report to Your Majesty, an urgent letter from Master Ximen."
Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows, Ximen Chuuxue, what's the matter with him?
When he opened the letter and took a look, his originally fair complexion suddenly lost a trace of blood, and his fingers trembled a little... The coldness suddenly occupied his hands and feet...
How can this be……....
The author has something to say: City Lord. . .Lord. .But don't blame other people for being wicked. . .You really need a third party to light the fire~~~
Isn't Zhanao going to be lively? . .Let's make him more lively! !!The author acted like a baby. . .Everyone leave a message. .
"You didn't see that cowardly Young Master Zhan!" A young man slapped the table, and the melon seeds in his mouth flew in all directions. The people at the same table wiped their faces in disgust, but still stared at He waited for him to speak.The man smiled embarrassedly, then lifted his spirits and continued:
"In a few days, the young master of the Zhan family will have a competition with a person. You have never seen that person. He is like a god. You can't compare with that coward Zhan Ao. Although he didn't say much, but his demeanor, his temperament, That aura, just one word!" The man gave a thumbs up: "Absolutely!"
"Pull it down, Feng Lao Si, did you dream of an immortal last night? Besides, that Young Master Zhan, isn't he said to be a benevolent master? How did he offend you? You run on him like that."
"Ah bah, you have a kind heart, Xiao Qi, you haven't been here long, and you can believe whatever the rumor says. If it wasn't for that time when he accidentally heard behind his back that he wanted to raise the rent of the old Huang's house at the end of the street by [-]% , I really thought he was a Bodhisattva descending to earth!"
"Old Huang at the end of the street, didn't his family just suffer a disaster, and only their grandparents and grandson were left to depend on each other, and the price increase was [-]%? Isn't that killing them?" The little man named Xiao Qi almost spit out a sip of tea. .
"Isn't it... Originally, the land rent of his house was suppressed by the second young master Zhan and did not increase, but now that the young master has come back, it has risen so much. This is really.... Fortunately, that person still said in front of the villagers that he would give it to the old Huang's family. Rent reduction, who would have thought it would be done behind the scenes, alas!"
Everyone was dumbfounded, it's not that they have never seen a person who is in the same way in person, but the contrast is too great...
"No, he said that he wanted to reduce the rent. He really reduced the rent for Wang Xiucai's house in the south of the city." Some people wondered, it was said by Wang Xiucai himself.
"Tch, haven't you seen that Wang Xiucai has a precious daughter who is as beautiful as a flower and has been studying for two years. How can this person go back and forth in front of a beauty?"
Everyone was speechless. Although Young Master Zhan looked domineering, he didn't do anything harmful. Who wants to work hard for the family for so many years, but now he has been kicked out and hasn't received a penny.And talking about the benevolent and kind young master doing such immoral things behind his back, really... oh...
The house in the south of the city has been sold, the location is good, the house is beautiful, and it occupies a large area.It turned out that the owner had moved and had been waiting to sell it. Many people were jealous, but they couldn't afford the price to satisfy that person.But a few days ago, there was a wealthy customer who spent a lot of money without saying a word. The original owner laughed from ear to ear and quickly packed up and moved out. He also helped arrange a lot of furniture. He wanted to help more. , Who would have thought that the servants of that family didn't let him intervene at all.
Seeing the truckloads of furniture and accessories that were brought in, each piece was extremely expensive, the original owner stared wide-eyed. Compared with this new buyer, the rich and powerful in the whole city were all nouveau riche. Taste, he wanted to find out who this person was, but the butler was really aura, and with a light glance, his full of fawning stopped...
"Xunhuan, I have retired the house here. We should stay here for a long time. I bought a house and it has been settled now."
Li Xunhuan was talking at Bai~Wan Xiao! Hearing this, he looked up at Ximen Chuuxue.He was thoughtful, since he planned to help Xiaoxiang deal with the group of indifferent family members, he naturally had to stay here for a long time, he nodded and said:
"Call Xiao Xiang and Ah Fei to go with them."
"nature."
Li Xun laughed, there was always a feeling that the whole family moved together.
A solid and exquisite carriage stopped in front of the newly renovated house in the south of the city.This house used to look rich and grand, but now the atmosphere has not diminished at all, but it is more elegant and graceful. Everyone stretched their necks to see who the owner of such a mansion is, especially in the city. All the merchants are waiting eagerly, such a wealthy person may be able to make several big deals again!
Ximen Chuuxue and Li Xunhuan got out of the car together, and stood at the door of the new house, Li Xunhuan looked up, but there was no sign on the door.Turn around and ask the person next to you:
"No door plaque?"
"Wait for you to mention it." Ximen Chuuxue said lightly.
Li Xun Huan was taken aback, thought for a while, then smiled wryly:
"I really can't figure it out for a while. Could it be called Wanmei Villa? Actually, there is nothing wrong..."
Ximen Chuuxue shook his head, "Since you can't figure it out, how about calling this place 'Li Yuan'?"
Li Xun Huan was stunned again, his eyes were a little dazed... Li Yuan... Li Yuan in the past, Xingyun Manor in the future... He had no way of knowing what happened after that.And there is another Li Garden in front of him, but it is not the Li Garden he used to be... But, he turned his head to look at the worried Ximen Chuuxue, he always knew what he was thinking...
Responded with a smile:
"Okay, let's call it Li Yuan."
Ximen Chuuxue raised the corners of his lips, and ordered the servants at the door to hang up the door plaques that had been prepared earlier. The people who craned their necks to watch finally knew that the owner of this place was named Li...
Two days later, Zhan Ao sent someone to announce that he will compete with Li Xun Huan on the fifth day of next month.First, there will be a competition of Wendou, Qin, Chess, Poetry, Calligraphy and painting, and the old Hanlin who recently retired and returned to his hometown will be invited to arbitrate, and then there will be a martial arts fight.The competition adopts an elimination system, and the side standing at the end wins, and both sides can ask people to help out.
Hearing the news, Li Xunhuan's expression became weird, and he curiously asked Zhan Xiaoxiang beside him:
"Could it be that this person...does everyone know what he does?"
Zhan Xiaoxiang curled his lips and said:
"Not all of them, but as long as it is something that can make him stand out, it must be known by everyone. His mother has the same virtue as him."
Li Xun Huan's expression became even weirder, "Does he think he is guaranteed to win?"
Zhan Xiang's face twisted for a moment, he was also curious where this man's confidence came from...
"For pleasure, it is important for a man to have self-knowledge, but now it is clear that he still lacks the luxury of 'self-knowledge'." Ximen Chuuxue said indifferently, in his opinion, there was no suspense in this competition at all.
"Yes, brother, if the tit hadn't been bitten by a tiger, it would never know that tigers cannot be easily provoked." A Fei said lightly, he obviously had the same opinion as Ximen Chuuxue on this matter.
Li Xun Huan nodded, he knew it when he knew it, he had gone through more than three hundred duels, big and small, without retreating, and now that the opponent is so unbearable, it is even more impossible for him to retreat.
Everyone had a good time, eating and drinking to see what kind of trouble Zhan Ao can make!
It's only the seventh day of the lunar new year, and there is still nearly a month until the fifth day of the next month. At first, Li Xunhuan wondered why the time was set so far away, but a few days later when he went to a teahouse for dinner and heard people talking about it in the streets, he seemed to understand a little bit. Why did Zhan Ao announce the news so early... I am a bit dumbfounded at the moment, the world is so big, there are really everyone...
"Master Zhuo, we are almost in Shanxi."
Zhuo Donglai nodded, the sphere of influence of the Great Escort Bureau was getting wider and wider, faintly touching the border of Shanxi, but it was still a little bit worse at the moment.He ordered the road scouts to book an inn there first, got on the horse himself, and led the team to follow behind.He is confident that in less than a month, the branch of the Shanxi Security Bureau will be established, and there will be no need for such troubles.Even his enemies would not doubt what Zhuo Donglai believed.
At the entrance of the inn, Zhuo Donglai got off his horse, Zhuo Ying took the horse and handed it to Xiaoer who came up to him, saying:
"Drink the horse, and serve a few more tables of wine and food, hurry up!"
"Yes, my lord!"
A few people walked into the inn, and not long after they were seated, an escort bowed to Zhuo Donglai's side, and said in a low voice:
"Master Zhuo, I received a message from the capital."
Zhuo Donglai's eyelids twitched, since he didn't say it was the Escort Bureau from the capital, it could only be there.In the past few days, letters have been sent to him asking when he will return, but he has not responded.But this time... as usual?
He took the letter and shook it open for a look, then he was taken aback, no one noticed that his face turned pale for a moment.He lowered his eyes, no one could see his expression clearly, the huge hall was filled with silence.All the subordinates held their breath and looked at each other. What was written in the letter?
"Zhuo Ying," Zhuo Donglai said after a while.Hearing the voice, Zhuo Ying was startled, maybe it was his illusion, he seemed to think that Master's voice was a little hoarse.
"exist!"
"For a letter, someone prepares a generous gift and sends it to the palace."
"This subordinate is talkative, dare to ask Master Zhuo, what standard is used to prepare this ceremony?"
Zhuo Donglai looked at him silently, with a snow-white complexion and dark eyes, Zhuo Ying bowed even lower.
"Wedding gift." Zhuo Donglai said with a mocking smile.After all, Huo stood up, went upstairs and went back to his room.
"You don't need to deliver dinner." He finally ordered.
"...Yes." Zhuo Ying froze for a while before replying.In fact, I should ask if I need to add any words... But depending on the situation, it should not be necessary.
Zhuo Donglai sat on the bed with an indistinguishable expression, and it took him a long time to exhale slowly, leaning on the bedpost, staring at the curtain in a daze, the tiredness and pain in his eyes were not hidden at all.
How did he feel when he heard the news that Sima Chaoqun was married?I can't remember clearly... But at that time, he was able to arrange and handle all the daily affairs perfectly, so that no one could see the slightest clue, but now, he didn't even have the strength to pretend...
He has been running around for several days, and he has not closed his eyes for several days. He just stared openly until dawn, and then pretended that nothing happened, and continued on the next day... He thought he could do it, but... He took a deep breath Take a breath, slowly close your eyes...
I thought we were friends...
This life will never be negative......
East.....
If there is a next time, I will kill you...
He put his hands on his eyes, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying... How did we get to this point?
next day:
Zhuo Donglai came out of the room, Zhuo Ying was waiting beside him, he was very shocked... Master's complexion is so bad...
"Master, on the fifth day of next month, I heard that the big Zhan family here wants to compete with others."
Zhuo Donglai lifted up his clothes and sat down, glanced at Zhuo Ying, and continued:
"It's just... I heard that the object of his competition is Lord Li..." He had a strange expression when he said this, the strange thing is how much weight this person has to dare to make such a rumor.
Other than Zhuo Donglai, Li Xunhuan was the only one who could be called a master in the bodyguard bureau.Zhuo Donglai raised his eyebrows in surprise, and said:
"Senior, they are also in Shanxi at this moment?"
"Master Hui, yes, they live in Li Yuan in the south of the city."
Li Yuan...... There is also a Li Yuan here, which should be written by Ximen Chuuxue.
"Go and say hello before we hit the road."
"Yes."
After the meal, when Zhuo Donglai got up, he was unsteady and almost fell down. He supported the table with one hand, and his eyes were a little dizzy.
His subordinates were shocked, Zhuo Ying strode up and stretched out his hand to help, and cried out in alarm:
"Master Zhuo!"
Zhuo Donglai waved his hand, signaling not to panic, he's fine... In fact, he also knew that he was reaching his limit.After all, people are not made of iron. They can last for a while without eating, but not sleeping will cause great mental damage. In addition, he has a heavy mind and hasn't rested for a long time. After being hit by the news yesterday, he can still get up this morning. It's not easy anymore.
"Master, rest here! You don't need to go out for this escort." Zhuo Ying knelt down on one knee, he had endured it for a long time, even if he was punished by Zhuo Donglai afterwards, he still had to speak out!He could see clearly why Zhuo Donglai ran out, he could do nothing about the matter between the masters, but it was impossible for him to continue to watch Zhuo Donglai to torment himself like this.
Zhuo Donglai gave him a sideways look and said:
"You should know that there are always obedient people around me."
Zhuo Ying buried her head even lower, and said stubbornly:
"Master Zhuo, please rest, otherwise please step over the corpse of your subordinate."
Zhuo Donglai squinted his eyes, it was the opposite!
"Do you think I dare not?"
As soon as these words came out, a large group of subordinates around him all knelt down and said in unison:
"Please take care of your body!"
Zhuo Donglai's eyes darkened, he smiled back in anger, and said:
"Reverse you!"
Everyone trembled, but no one was willing to move.
In fact, Zhuo Ying wanted to say: Lord, a guy like Ye Gucheng is not worth it!But he also knew that once these words came out, he wouldn't have to stay by Zhuo Donglai's side anymore.
Looking at the blackness in front of his head, Zhuo Donglai only felt that his heart was blocked, everything was really not going well!Okay you guys, do you really think I dare not? !He raised his breath suddenly, but his eyes went dark, and then he fell unconscious...
When he woke up again, he saw Li Xun Huan's gentle smile on his face, and he said:
"Donglai, you finally woke up!"
"Yeah, you've been in a coma for a day and a night, and you finally woke up..." A light voice came from behind Li Xun Huan, Second Young Master Zhan, is he there?Then I heard him count and say:
"Boss, I didn't even notice that I was burning so badly. Fortunately, I met us. Don't blame your subordinates. When they brought you here, they all turned pale, and you were in a coma. Everyone knelt down in the courtyard neatly, no matter how hard they pulled it up, if you blame them again, maybe you really collectively apologized with death!"
Zhuo Donglai was silent for a while and said:
"Thank you, senior." He said with a tired tone:
"Senior, please tell Zhuo Ying and the others, I have complied with their request."
"Xiao Xiang, you go." Li Xun Huan said to push him away.
Zhan Xiaoxiang nodded, he knew that his elder brother had something to say to Zhuo Dong.
"Ximen said that you were overwhelmed, your body was exhausted, and the wind and cold entered your body, that's why you fell..." Li Xunhuan sighed softly. Of course he knew what was going on, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him. He... "Don't think too much, just take a good rest here, I'm leaving first, you can sleep later."
Zhuo Donglai didn't speak, lowered his eyes, and waited for Li Xunhuan to walk to the door before he heard him softly: He is going to choose a concubine...
In a blink of an eye, he saw that his posture had not changed, as if it was an auditory hallucination just now.... He sighed again helplessly...What is love?What is love......
"He's awake?" Ximen Chuuxue asked.Zhan Xiang and A Fei were also there, and they both looked at Li Xun Huan.
Li Xun Huan nodded and said:
"Simen, these two people are really capable of tossing around, can you find a way?"
Before Ximen Chuuxue could speak, Zhan Xiaoxiang said hesitantly:
"Brother...that.....I am editing the book in the name of Brother Ximen and sent someone to send it to Ye Gucheng urgently, saying...cough..." He was a little embarrassed, and continued:
"Tell him, Zhuo Donglai was seriously injured, and now he's getting more and more sick, so he needs to come and see him one last time." Seeing Li Xunhuan's eyes widen in surprise, he hastily added:
"This is Ah Fei's idea! Also, Brother Ximen has already agreed!" These two are the masterminds, he just moved faster...
Li Xun Huan looked at A Fei again, really couldn't see that A Fei could come up with such a "wicked" idea.Ah Fei's eyes flickered... He has stayed by Wang Lianhua's side for so long... I have seen this method several times...
Li Xunhuan looked at Ximen Chuuxue again, did he actually agree? !
Ximen Chuuxue curled his lips, got up and pulled Li Xunhuan into the inner room, maybe Li Xunhuan was too sensitive, he felt that Ximen Chuuxue's smile was a little... bad?As he walked, he said:
"I know Ye Gucheng well, if you don't take strong medicine, these two people will drag on like this forever..."
And Ye Gucheng, who is about to be drugged at this time, is now...
Before the fifth watch arrived, he straightened up from the bed with a hush, with cold sweat still on his forehead.He closed his eyes, collected himself, and tried his best to drive the dream out of his mind...
He dreamed that Zhuo Donglai stuck a sword in his chest, it was his Overseas Cold Iron.He saw that he was still laughing, sadly and ironically, because the other end of the sword was in his hand.He was heartbroken, he wanted to scream but couldn't, he wanted to draw his sword, but instead he pushed the sword a little deeper... Finally he watched Zhuo Donglai disappear under his sword... ..
His heart ached like being torn apart, but he didn't even have the right to suffer...
Dawn has come, fortunately, it's just a dream.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the Escort Bureau sent someone to deliver six boxes of congratulatory gifts. Are they in storage now or do you want to check them?"
"No other words?" Ye Gucheng's face was dark.
"Return to Your Majesty...No..." The eunuch hesitated, what more could he say?
"Go down." Ye Gucheng's eyes were turbulent... Are you just watching me get married like this?
"If you don't want to get married, no one can force you. The court is stable, and I'm still here. You don't need to rely on your in-laws to maintain the government." King Anding looked at Ye Gucheng worriedly, and he saw that something was wrong with him these days.
Ye Gucheng pulled out a comforting smile and shook his head slowly.
However, after a while, he couldn't even hold back his laughter. A sweaty little eunuch ran in and said in a trembling voice:
"Report to Your Majesty, an urgent letter from Master Ximen."
Ye Gucheng raised his eyebrows, Ximen Chuuxue, what's the matter with him?
When he opened the letter and took a look, his originally fair complexion suddenly lost a trace of blood, and his fingers trembled a little... The coldness suddenly occupied his hands and feet...
How can this be……....
