The lady is stunning, she hides her secrets

Zhong Ling pulled her up, and asked the question that he had been worrying about all winter: "Piao'er, how is my brother?"

Before Piao'er could speak, Zhong Ling's heart skipped a beat when he saw the expression on her face.

Piao'er murmured: "I, I'm not very clear. Before I came, there were always people chasing and killing Mr. Fang... Mr. Fang said that this time, the people who stalked us are much more difficult to deal with than before."

Zhong Ling frowned: "What's the situation now?"

Piao'er nervously said: "I don't know either, Mr. Fang didn't tell me, he just told me to take my things and come across the river to find you."

With that said, Piao'er opened her package.

In that small package, there were not a few of her own things at all, she wrapped some letters and letters, which were obviously sent to Zhong Ling by Fang Wutuo Piao'er.

Piao'er took out another letter from her close-fitting pocket, and handed it to Zhong Ling with great care.

This letter was obviously different from the others, and it was carefully kept by Piao Er. When Zhong Ling got it in his hand, the letter was still hot.

Zhong Ling turned to the front, the envelope was blank.

He walked away a few steps, went to the window facing the sky, and tore open the letter.

On the letter, Fang Wu's familiar handwriting came into view.

"Zhong Ling, seeing a letter is like meeting you.

We have been separated for several months, and I miss you very much as a brother.When I first heard that you were trapped in a place of bandits, I wished I could go to Jiangbei and pick you up.

I just hate that the Kuanjiang River can't sail in winter and stop me on the other side of the river.

But I know your skills, and you must have your reasons for doing what you do.What's more, with your strength, no matter where you are, it is not difficult to escape.

In the past three months, many things have happened on my side.

I am married to Guan Ruoyun.

In seven months, you will have a little nephew or niece. "

Seeing this, Zhong Ling couldn't help smiling.

But the following content in the letter made Zhong Ling hang up his heart again.

"Since the new year, the emperor has sent a person to track me down.

This person is extremely powerful and difficult to deal with. I have never learned his ways before, which really gave me a headache.

There are not many people that the emperor can use, and most of them are idiots, so there is nothing to fear.

Only this person is different. I have never heard of him. Recently, I am still confirming his identity. If there is any progress, I will send someone across the river to tell you as soon as possible.

I lost a few batches of subordinates, and there are too few available and reliable people now, so I had to ask Maid Ruoyun to hand over to you. Sorry, I really can't send any more people here for you.

On the other side of the river, everything is up to you.

I was looking forward to your return for my brother, but now the situation here is changing rapidly. When I write this letter, what I want to tell you is - you stay in Jiangbei, don't come back.

All my activities are about to be turned into darkness. After you cross the river, there will be no one to respond. There will be risks if you act rashly. What's more, you may not even be able to find me.

I don't know what you're planning to do in Jiangbei, but because I know you well, I know you won't stay there for nothing.

If things don't go well on my side, I will send your sister-in-law there, and your side is safe, take care of her and the child for me.

Brother is not around, you have to remember what brother taught you before - stay calm and steady, no matter what happens, don't get confused.

Brother is in the light, you are in the dark.Be careful in everything, and keep yourself safe. You are the hope that my Fang family hides in the dark.

Remember, don't come back without my order.

Bo Wei. "

Zhong Ling squeezed the letter tightly in her hand.

Fangwu's words carried a somewhat ominous meaning.

After all, he is an elder brother who is connected by flesh and blood and depends on each other. Zhong Ling was so confident when he saw it, but he couldn't do anything.

Zhong Ling read the letter carefully again, memorized every word and every sentence in his heart, then lit the letter with flint to start a fire.

He watched the letter paper being burned to ashes by the flames, and asked silently in his heart: "Brother, what happened to you?"

However, Zhong Ling also knew that it was useless for him to be anxious about this matter, after all, Piao Er didn't know the core things.

Moreover, Fang Wu did not allow him to cross the river, he would not easily disobey his brother's order.

Looking at the other letters that Piao Er brought over, Zhong Ling casually flipped through them, and figured out the priorities of everything, knowing that he could deal with them later, so he put them aside.

He asked: "Piao'er, what else did my brother ask you to bring?"

Piao Er replied honestly: "There is nothing else."

Zhong Ling also wanted to ask about the recent situation of some brothers, but at this moment, someone knocked on the door of Zhong Ling's room from outside.

Ban Qing's voice came in: "Zhong Ling, are you still sleeping?"

Zhong Ling went to open the door, and let in the little bandit who was rubbing his eyes in a daze.

Without the slightest preparation, Piao'er met the head of the bandit's den face to face, her hair stood on end in fright, and she screamed, "Master, why is he here? Ah——no, no, no, I don't mean Mr. , It’s Miss, my Miss!”

Wait, now here at the bandits, is the young master a man or a woman?

Piao'er was visibly messed up with the naked eye.

Seeing Piao'er, Ban Qing was completely refreshed: "Oh? Zhong Ling, isn't this your maid? When did she come?"

Zhong Ling said to Piao'er: "He knows I'm a man, you can call me normal."

Zhong Ling suppressed the entanglement and melancholy in her heart, and smiled slightly: "It's nothing, are you hungry? I'll cook for you."

Zhong Ling went to the port early in the morning, and before he had time to clean up the fish and shrimp he bought, he went into the kitchen and finished it.

Ban Qing was stuck next to Zhong Ling, and Zhong Ling looked into his eyes as soon as he lowered his head: "I'll make shrimp dumplings for you, do you want to eat?"

Ban Qing responded loudly: "I want to."

Afterwards, Piao'er, who rushed to the kitchen, suddenly felt that she couldn't just be like this. She watched her new master work, and immediately said, "My lord, what are you going to do? You rest, I'll come."

Zhong Ling asked: "Can shrimp dumplings be made?"

Piao'er: "...No."

"What about the fish noodles?"

"Neither."

Zhong Ling nodded: "Then you rest, I'll have dinner right after I'm done."

Then Zhong Ling lowered his head again and asked Ban Qing: "Are you hungry? Sorry, you still have to wait a little longer."

Ban Qing pawed Zhong Ling, and said stickily: "It's okay, you cook me something delicious."

"it is good."

These two people have long been accustomed to this kind of life pattern, only Piao'er fell into doubt with a look of shock.

Why is the painting style of the Second Young Master so different from that of the First Young Master?

Before Piao'er left, the two of them were obviously married and could jump off a cliff, why did the second son and the bandit have entered the state of living when she came back after crossing the river for a year?

Could it be that Second Young Master...was really acquired by this little bandit?

Zhong Ling cooks leisurely, Ban Qing concentrates on watching his wife, and the two form a world of their own.

Only Piao'er, who was struck by lightning, was left scorched on the ground and unable to move.

Soon the dish will be ready.

The steaming and fragrant shrimp dumplings, and the thin noodles with fish meat stewed in a bowl of milky white fish soup per person will whet the appetite.

Piao'er's current identity is Zhong Ling's servant, she shouldn't let her master do it.But the master not only started cooking, but also gave her a bowl.

She was about to decline, but when she smelled the fragrance, she immediately forgot everything!

She was tired and hungry after the long journey, so she held back for a moment, took a sip of the fish soup, and immediately joined Ban Qing's little starving ghosts for dinner.

Ban Qing and Piao Er enjoyed the food, but Zhong Ling had no appetite.

He knew nothing about what happened on the other side of Jiang.

And Fangwu actually entrusted his sister-in-law to him in the letter, which shows that the predicament he is facing is completely different from the past.

Brother in the end what happened?

However, his worry could only be hidden in his heart at this time, passively waiting for the news of Fangwu in Jiangbei.

Knowing that Piao'er came from across the river, Ban Qing chatted with her about what happened across the river this winter.

This question was so serious that Zhong Ling knew that a lot of things had indeed happened this winter.

The emperor pursued Guan Ruoyun as imperial concubine and bestowed him with a posthumous title. He somewhat cared about this noble concubine whom he had never met before, and promoted her father, Guan Shilang, to the position of Acting Prime Minister.

The prime minister of the Northern Mu Dynasty was gone, so the emperor would naturally have to promote another one to handle state affairs on his behalf.

Who was the original prime minister was slaughtered by Zhong Ling.

As a result, Fangwu has an old man who is the same as the prime minister.

What's more, his father-in-law didn't know that his precious daughter was still alive and had been abducted and eloped by rebellious officials and thieves.

The people Zhong Ling got acquainted with were not fat, and lived well.

The emperor held him in high esteem, and the expression of this esteem was that he was unwilling to let him leave the capital, and often took him to play with him.

The emperor had a good time, but the people at Xiyan Pass suffered from famine in winter because of the severe drought in spring and summer last year and insufficient grain harvest.

However, the emperor didn't take it seriously at all, and sent his trusted subordinate Zhang Wo Neng to help the disaster.

In the name of disaster relief, Zhang Wo Neng swallowed the disaster relief money into his pocket in all likelihood. Of course, the emperor didn't know about it.

In front of Ban Qing, Piao'er didn't dare to say too much about the things she knew.

Especially when Piao'er found out that Ban Qing was very interested in the current affairs across the river, Piao'er became more cautious in speaking.

Zhong Ling sees Piao Er's meticulous heart, and has plans for her in the future.

On this day, Piao'er found another chance to be alone, and took out the jade token that Zhong Ling gave her before she crossed the river.

In the middle of the dark green jade tablet, there is a word "er".

Piao'er respectfully returned it to Zhong Ling: "Second Master Fang, return the property to the original owner."

Immediately afterwards, she said angrily: "Ah, I didn't mean to offend my son's name!"

Zhong Ling was not angry at all: "It's not your fault. When I named it, my brother was too lazy and didn't want to think of a name for me. I was the second, so he named me Fang Er. Later, when I grew up, I changed it to Fang'er."

"My name is Zhong Ling. He didn't start this, so I escaped a disaster."

Piao'er: "..."

Zhong Ling concluded: "So, when my sister-in-law is born, I absolutely cannot ask my brother to name her."

The author has something to say: Fang Wu: I believe in simplicity and practicality. The name is almost enough. Pick one at random, and let them develop freely when they grow up.
