Sweet as candy

"So, you just smashed up other people's stalls, and then beat them up with a black nose and a swollen face?"

Xue Shiji put his hands behind his back obediently, looking like a good student: "Leader, don't worry, he doesn't know who I am, and if he wants someone to beat me up, he can't beat me. If he wants the government to arrest me, it's his fault first." , I'm sorry."

Song Fengqing was about to laugh angrily: "Okay, why don't you say it, and you and I, brother Xiao, are covering you?"

Xue Shiji sneaked a glance at Xiao Lang who was also standing beside him with his back erect: "It's none of Brother Xiao's business, it's all my own will."

Xiao Lang said: "I acquiesced to Shiji to do it. Leader, those two brothers disturbed the hearts of the people, if they are left alone, I'm afraid it will delay the disaster relief."

"Then you can't beat people around!" Song Fengqing said helplessly: "Have you ever thought about it, if someone around you recognizes you when you attack in broad daylight, the other party will use their tricks and say that the people of the Wulin League are bullying the people with their prestige. response?"

Xue Shiji silently remembered the next time he had to go to a place where no one was around.

"You don't have to participate in the porridge for the past two days." Song Fengqing didn't want to blame him, he just sighed: "In order not to be seen gossiping, just stay in the yard and help me out." .”

Xue Shiji curled his lips. If Xiao Lang said that, he would have to fight for himself, but if it was Song Fengqing, he wouldn't dare to resist.

Song Fengqing turned to Xiao Lang again: "You are well aware of Shi Ji's temper, why don't you look at him?"

Xiao Lang said with a smile: "Leader, I happened to make a movement at that time, so I didn't notice it."

"Oh?" Song Fengqing said, "What action?"

Xiao Lang smiled, closed the eyes that were close to Xue Shiji, and made a gesture of opening and closing one eye.Xue Shiji looked sideways curiously, couldn't help but burst out laughing, and realized that he was being scolded now, so he quickly stood up again.

"You guys." The atmosphere had been broken, and Song Fengqing couldn't hold his face anymore, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, okay, Shi Ji, go back, Xiao Lang stay."

"Sit down." Song Fengqing pointed to the chair beside him, and Xiao Lang sat down obediently.

"The notice from the government has come down."

Xiao Lang happily said: "Really? Then we can gather everyone to kill them with a bonfire."

Song Fengqing nodded, and said again: "I have already said hello to the magistrate, and I will post it soon. Xiao Lang, I will leave for the Wulin League tomorrow, and you will be in charge of everything here."

"Master is going back so soon?" Xiao Lang said in a daze, "Didn't you say that the matter of the Wulin League is bothering you?"

"No matter how troublesome you are, you have to go back and face it." Song Fengqing sighed: "If you become the leader of the alliance in the future, you will understand this. After I leave, you take everyone and do everything that needs to be done. Shi Ji Be more restrained, and be careful not to be caught by others and leave your tongue."

Xiao Lang nodded, Song Fengqing paused, and said: "There is one more thing."

"Those two brothers you taught are abominable, but the source of the news is true. The situation in the palace has changed, and no one can predict who will be in power in the future. When the people from the court come, you will You can withdraw with the trend, don't interfere too much." He said: "Shuyan doesn't want to go back with me, and I have to trouble you to take care of her."

After the two finished talking about their important matters, they went out of the room, and saw Song Shuyan and Xue Shiji sitting side by side on the steps not far away, talking mysteriously.

The two looked at each other, with unspoken smiles in their eyes, Xiao Lang coughed, and the two immediately startled: "Brother Xiao!"

in unison.

Xiao Lang said: "What are you mumbling about here?"

Xue Shiji glanced at Song Fengqing cautiously, wondering if he left Xiao Lang behind and asked him to discipline himself: "I didn't say anything."

Song Shuyan is not afraid of the majesty of Song Fengqing's leader at all: "Father, why don't you let Brother Xue help with the porridge?"

"It's inconvenient for Shi Ji to show up in the past few days." Song Fengqing said, "Why, you didn't even know the reason, so you came to question your father?"

Xue Shiji felt a little embarrassed: "Leader, Shuyan is just worried about me..."

"For the porridge matter, let Daxia Ma go with you." Song Fengqing waved his hand: "I'll go back tomorrow, you can have dinner with me tonight, and you won't see me in the future, so don't make troubles."

Song Shuyan smiled and said, "I never got into trouble with you."

As soon as the father and daughter left, Xiao Lang touched Xue Shiji's shoulder, and smiled teasingly at him, "It's only been a few days, and you have changed from Song girl to book smoke?"

Xue Shiji blushed, and turned his head away uncomfortably: "Brother Xiao, what are you talking about, I don't know why."

He was afraid that Xiao Lang would make fun of him, so he turned around and was about to leave, Xiao Lang hooked him and pulled him back: "Don't go, I haven't seen Yan Nan all day today, did you see him?"

Xue Shiji said: "No, aren't you in the room?"

"Staying in the room every day makes me bored."

Xiao Lang went to knock on the door, but there was no answer in the room, a servant hurried past, seeing this, said: "Did Xiao Daxia look for Mr. Yan? He went out early in the morning and never came back."

Yan Nanhui is not familiar with the place of life here, what is he going out to do?Xiao Lang was puzzled and said, "Did he say where he was going?"

"Master Yan didn't talk to anyone, and he didn't even come back for lunch."

Hearing this, Xiao Lang felt even more strange. He didn't see anyone coming back until night, so he finally couldn't hold back, and said to Xue Shiji, "I'll go out and look for it."

"I'm with you."

The two rode out the door, one went south and the other went north to look for it.Xiao Lang thought to himself, Yan Nanhui was helpless here, and he was afraid of those insects, what was the point of going out?

Since leaving the palace after feigning death, Yan Nan has not been able to contact He She even now.Fortunately, since arriving in Pingyi, those people from the Wulin League have been busy running around for the locust plague, and no one is in charge of Yan Nanhui's whereabouts, which gave him a good chance to sneak out.

Today everyone went out early in the morning, and he took the opportunity to go out secretly.

Before going out, Yan Nanhui did a lot of psychological preparation. In order to avoid direct contact with those bugs, he wrapped his face and hands with silk cloth.Even so, when he met those insects flying in the sky, he still had to shrink his neck and lean against the wall to avoid them.

After sneaking along the way to a house, Yan Nan knocked on the door, and an old man in common clothes came out tremblingly: "Who are you looking for?"

Yan Nan pointed back to a scrawled wooden sign standing beside him: "Here it says that I can help deliver letters."

The old man turned around and shouted: "Zhang Lin, someone is looking for him!"

"Come on!" A strong man ran out of the house, seeing Yan Nan's mysterious and tightly packed appearance, he was taken aback: "Young master, you?"

"I need your help to deliver the letter." Yan Nanhui frowned and looked at the surrounding environment: "Do you have carrier pigeons here?"

"Ah." The strong man waved his hand and said, "There's a plague of locusts, people can't get enough to eat, and they keep pigeons?"

"Then what do you use to deliver the letter?"

"Human." The strong man said: "Our brothers are all strong and strong, where do you want to send them?"

Yan Nan Hui whispered the name of a place, the strong man was startled, wondering: "My lord, this place is too far away, we can't even deliver it."

Yan Nanhui's expression remained unchanged, he took out a bank note from his pocket, and shook it in the shocked eyes of the other party: "As long as it can be delivered, this is yours."

"My mother..." The strong man's eyes were straightened, and he reached out to take the bank note: "Don't worry, don't worry, it will be delivered to you."

Yan Nan returned the letter to him and ordered: "Be sure to hand it over to the owner. If you bring it successfully, you can ask him for another 20 taels of silver."

The brawny man never expected to be able to get such a big business, and immediately promised to bring the letter safely, Yan Nan nodded back, and explained a few more words before leaving.

He lowered his head and walked back according to the route he came from. When he turned a street, he was stopped by three tall people.

"Young master looks strange, isn't he a local? It's really generous, and it's a bank note." The leader patted the knife on his waist, and took a step forward threateningly: "Then Can Zhang Lin help you send a letter so much money? Since that’s the case, why don’t you do me a favor and help some of our brothers?”

Yan Nanhui stepped back, put his finger on the sword in his waist: "Get out."

"Hey, you've got a big temper." The person next to him said, "I advise you to hand over the money obediently, at least you can save your life, otherwise... the bank note is stained with blood, and you and I will be unhappy."

Faced with the other party's blatant threat, Yan Nanhui frowned in disgust: "You are so courageous, aren't you afraid that the government will arrest you?"

The three of them laughed as if they heard some big joke: "Government? It takes at least half an hour for the people from the government to come here. Once the locust plague breaks out, all the patrolling head catchers will be transferred to help. You Who else can I ask to help you?"

Yan Nanhui sneered when he heard the words: "Even if you don't have a government, I can still take the lives of the three of you."

The faces of the three of them changed, they didn't expect this person to be soft and hard, they shouted loudly, and raised their knives to attack.
