There is a dragon

35

A ray of morning light passed through the clouds and fell on the golden glazed tiles.Little gray birds slipped from the eaves, and chirping birds rang out from time to time.

Feeling warm and comfortable, without the wind and rain, Lou Xinming smacked her lips, turned over and continued to sleep.

Wait a minute... is this a bed?Aren't you at Shen's house?

Opening his eyes and sitting up from the bed suddenly, Lou Xinming immediately saw Ye Jingshu who was sitting beside the bed looking at him.

"Are you awake?" Ye Jingshu nodded slightly, and glanced up and down, "It seems to be fine."

"Uh..." Lou Xinming was still confused, "Why am I here?"

"What do you say?"

"..."

Slowly getting up from the bed, Lou Xinming flattered him in a low voice: "Xiaoshu..."

Ye Jingshu snorted from his nasal cavity: "What did you call me?"

Memory recall, before I appeared here, what I saw was... blood...

Lou Xinming's head buzzed, if someone hadn't rescued him, he didn't know what would happen now.

By the way, the person who saved him.

"Xiao Shu, you saved me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, who else will look for you except me!" Speaking of this, Ye Jingshu became angry. If it wasn't for Ling, he would have offered to help. He might have posted notices all over the city to find the missing minister of the Ministry of Industry. .Lou Xinming can do such a thing, but he can't afford to lose this person.

Knowing that it was his fault, if it wasn't for Ye Jingshu's action, he might have to blame the Shen family for such a heavy rain.It's not good for Lou Xinming to be angry with Ye Jingshu, the two of them have been in love since childhood, and Ye Jingshu is angry, but if he doesn't see anything wrong, he will still send someone to save him.

"Xiaoshu, I'm sorry, it's me..."

"What did you call me?" Ye Jingshu still asked the same question, squinting at Lou Xinming.

"..." Lou Xinming fell into silence, and after a long while reluctantly said, "Xiao Shu... No, we have such a big relationship, do you still care about this?"

Ye Jingshu still didn't have a good face: "What's the relationship between us? Talk well, don't get close."

Lou Xinming disappeared just like that, without saying a word, even if he was angry, he shouldn't have left in such a chaotic time.When he sent someone to find Lou Xinming, he found blood on his body. Lou Xinming was afraid of blood since he was a child, and he didn't know what happened to make him so miserable.If something really happened to Lou Xinming right under his nose, he couldn't explain it to the Lou family.

——He was really angry.

Ye Jingshu's face was so cold that Lou Xinming was taken aback.

Let's put it this way, Ye Jingshu's temper is indeed bad, but he will send out those bad tempers to outsiders. If someone close to him makes him angry, he won't just vent it like that.Just looking at you in silence like this can make you stressed and frightened.

Ye Jingshu held back his anger without venting it, and it made the people around him feel uncomfortable.Lou Xinming is one of them.

"Xiao Shu..." Lou Xinming whispered, "Uncle..."

"Ok?"

"Father! Father! I was wrong!" Lou Xinming hugged Ye Jingshu violently, "I was wrong, and I will never dare again."

"What's wrong?" Ye Jingshu was determined to teach Lou Xinming a lesson.

"I... I shouldn't run out casually, especially in this weather."

It's okay, not heartless, Ye Jingshu nodded: "What else?"

what else?Lou Xinming was stunned, and bit the bullet to search: "Should I ask you to go with me?"

"Hmph." No.

"Shouldn't you go to the Shen's house?" Lou Xinming frowned, "No, I went to the Shen's house to find out! I didn't do it for you!"

"It's fine, why are you going to the Shen's house, do you think your life is not long enough?" When Lou Xinming was found, there was no obvious wound on his body, but from his appearance, one can roughly imagine that he would not be able to please the Shen's house. .

"I just want to go and have a look. I've been in the capital for so long, and I've been busy with other things, so I haven't helped you..."

After the two quarreled, Lou Xinming suddenly ran to Shen's house, and also wanted to hold his breath: Didn't you say that I didn't want to help you?I'll let you see my abilities.

"Chen Yiyi is still here, don't go." Ye Jingshu glanced back, Lou Xinming was still unconvinced, and said helplessly, "Since he is from the Shen family, he won't leave Shen's house alone. If you are so reckless, who will save you in the future?"

The Lou family has stood firm in Qin for many years. Apart from their own loyalty and outstanding ability, they are also related to the boss.If the two were based on serious seniority, Lou Xinming would have to call Ye Jingshu an uncle.Since Ye Jingshu is also called "shu", Lou Xinming simply added "little" in front of it. Those who don't know it will think that others call Ye Jingshu's name directly. Ye Jingshu didn't care too much about Lou Xinming, so he got angry Sometimes, he forced Lou Xinming to call "Father" a few times to rectify his name, so that he could clearly distinguish the seniority of the two, and be more peaceful and not try to cause trouble.

Ye Jingshu seldom acts like an elder in front of Lou Xinming, more often the two get along as friends.

Ye Jingshu said: "For a family like the Shen family, if you don't have any protection, will you still let a young man like you go in?" In such a big house, as long as you are not blind, you will go to see if there is anything you can miss.There is no one in the Shen family, there are valuables there, after so many years, there is nothing left; if there are people in the Shen family, they will not let it go, and there will be no return when they enter.

Regardless of the outcome, it was too late for them to come to the capital 16 years after the Shen family was wiped out.

Besides, after all, the Shen family is well-known for its equipment and institutions, so if you can't even keep your own house, then you don't have to mess around.

Days of heavy rain finally stopped.What followed was a variety of complicated affairs.

After Chen Yiyi had seen the drainage protection plan for the capital, Ye Jingshu was still not at ease, so he told Lou Xinming to look it up when he was better, and then he had to leave.

"One more thing, I sent some ice capes to Ling Ze earlier, and he returned some of them." Ye Jingshu said, "Take some time to collect these and the rest of the Ministry of Industry, and see how many there are in total. "

After Ye Xizhou returned to Beijing, Ling Ze took the initiative to send a lot of silver taels, and after registering with the household department, it was estimated that there was still some shortage.After relaying the news to the national teacher, Ling Ze didn't say anything, just smiled, and sent half a box of ice caps the next day.

"This was given to Lingze by His Majesty earlier. The Zhaixing Tower doesn't use much, and there is still some left. Now the treasury is empty, and Lingze has nothing to do. He will sell these donations and fill them into the treasury."

What Lingze said reminded Ye Jingshu that there should be some left over from the Ministry of Industry, and he could also examine why Chen Yiyi used more ice soul than the average person, to see if there could be any unexpected gains.

Now everyone is pretending to be confused, they know what kind of face is under the mask, but they still pretend not to recognize it and search for it.

Chen Yiyi said that the Shen family should not be alarmed, and Lingze's active cooperation also made it difficult for Ye Jingshu to continue forcing him to confess his family background, as long as he did not do anything too outrageous for the time being, since he did not do anything after some hesitation before. Ye Jingshu felt that the two of them should still be able to sit down and have a good talk.

——The family alliance is unstable internally, and Ling Ze has also become suspicious of their insiders.

His ultimate goal is not to eliminate the aristocratic family, but to balance the court and achieve the goal of centralizing power.What the aristocratic family wants, as long as it is reasonable, he may not be unable to give it.

"The rain has stopped." Ling raised his head and looked up at the clear sky. The sky after the rain was pure sky blue, the air was fresh and moist, the grass was green, and the petals were dripping with rain, which was so bright.

Nan Dou followed behind him, walked with him, and said happily: "Yes, after the rain, it will be the cold clothes festival."

"Winter Clothes Festival..." Ling Ze muttered, "Winter is coming, and it's the coldest time of the year again."

The last autumn rain is over.

"My lord, are we going to prepare for the Cold Clothes Festival to worship the ancestors?" Nan Dou asked aloud after walking a few steps.

He just called it that way before getting started, and Ling nodded lightly: "Yes, you will come when the time comes. How are you doing with your homework recently?"

"Homework...homework?" Nan Dou staggered, "I really worked hard, but it's so difficult."

"It's okay, I've also shown you the astrology for a few days, tell me what you saw?"

Too white and brilliant, too subtle.Taibai is a soldier, and those who are too small are the court of heaven.

Nan Dou's complexion changed, completely white: "My lord! This is... is this true?"

If the astrological prophecy comes true, it means that there are soldiers in the middle palace, which is likely to be a mutiny.

Ling lowered his head and lowered his eyes: "The astrology says so, but it doesn't mean there are no variables. I can't say for sure, I can't be sure."

"Hey?" Nan Dou turned around anxiously, "Then what should we do? Your Majesty just...will..."

Ling Ze sternly said: "No nonsense! Be silent! Don't leak the secret!"

"Yes...but..."

"No matter what the result is, it has nothing to do with us. Now worrying about this, why not do your homework and worship on the Winter Clothes Festival, don't you want to do it?"

Nan Dou responded, worried in his heart: "Then should we tell them? Now that the King of Chu has returned to the capital safely, His Majesty has suffered many hardships since he entered the capital for a year, and the capital has suffered from floods..."

Ling was silent, and finally said: "You can figure it out, be careful, and don't talk too much. To avoid the punishment of the gods, the lessons of the Shen family are still in front of you."

Nan Dou said yes, and said: "Your Excellency is still amazing, but after talking so much, Your Majesty should take a good rest. Your Majesty really, you have searched so much from us, ha, this time it will be a waste of time."

Waste of effort?Not always.

Seeing Nan Dou running away triumphantly, Ling Ze said softly: "Sure enough, I still can't learn..."

Taibai's actions are too small, the gates of the palace should be closed, the generals will wear armor, and the evil officials will be punished.
