People always think I'm a broken sleeve

Su Bian's movements are natural, like flowing water, as if he has done it thousands of times, as if he is used to it.

The most amazing thing is that Su Bian looked frank, as if he didn't feel anything.

The expression on Long Jingying's face sitting beside her was the same as before, and she was not surprised either.

Su Bian didn't realize it, but Yan Ruyu, who was sitting on the side watching the whole process, couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Along the way, Su Bian hardly had any communication with Long Jingying, and even rarely exchanged eye contact.When did her family get so familiar with Chitose-sama?

Is it?

Yan Ruyu was puzzled.

What is even more strange to say is that Long Jingying came out of the world in a cold manner, like a son in the sky, not eating fireworks on earth.And her lord used to be very masculine, and kept male pets in the mansion, Jane

Zhi and Long Jingying are very different.

Now, the two are sitting at the same table, and Yan Ruyu doesn't feel the slightest sense of disobedience.

Looking at the harmonious scene in front of her, Yan Ruyu's eyes became more subtle.

Looking at it, she couldn't help but feel...

The adults in her family are really looking better.

Yan Ruyu cupped her face and smirked.

Yan Ruyu was smirking, and the shop waiter brought the dishes.

After the dishes were served, the waiter said: "Three guests, please take your time."

After finishing speaking, he sneaked another glance at Long Jingying before leaving with a blushing face.

In fact, Yan Ruyu's appearance is not bad, her skin is like fat, and the corners of her slightly upturned eyes are charming.

If you go out, you will definitely attract the attention of passers-by.

But as soon as she stayed with Long Jingying, her appearance was instantly dimmed by comparison.

As soon as the waiter left, Su Bian looked at the dishes on the table and frowned.

He forgot to say that the onion, ginger and garlic should not be added to the dish.

Su Bian has always disliked the smell of onion, ginger and garlic.

Su Bian sat still, and was hesitating whether to serve a few more dishes, Yan Ruyu who was sitting next to him noticed and hurriedly said, "Master...wait a minute, let me come!"

After all, he picked up the chopsticks and carefully picked out the onion, ginger and garlic from the dish one by one.

Yan Ruyu had done this in the Zhuang Mansion before. The new cook had just arrived at the mansion a long time ago. He forgot Bi Zhu’s instructions and put green onions and ginger in the dishes. Su Bian couldn’t help but

frowned.

Su Bian didn't say anything, but Yan Ruyu felt rather unhappy.Because this person was invited by her.

Just when Yan Ruyu was about to replace someone, Su Bian, who insisted that there would be as few troubles as possible, stopped Yan Ruyu, saying that it was fine to pick them out, and be careful next time.

The adults in my family have said so, so Yan Ruyu didn't say anything more.

So this thing turned around.

Yan Ruyu picked it seriously, Su Bian looked calm, and Yan Ruyu didn't notice anything wrong.But... Long Jingying, who was sitting by the side, noticed Yan Ruyu's movements, and couldn't help raising her eyes.

Quietly took a look at Yan Ruyu.

Sensing Long Jingying's gaze, Yan Ruyu thought it was causing the former's displeasure, so she hurriedly explained: "Young master never likes to eat onion and ginger, so the servant picked it out."

Zhuang Duxin didn't have this problem, he would eat anything and not taboo about anything.But Su Bian didn't like to eat onion and ginger in the 21st century.

Because it tastes a bit nasty.

It's just that he didn't expect that after changing his 'body', the smell of onion and ginger still made him feel sick.

After Yan Ruyu finished speaking, Long Jingying thought of something and paused slightly.

The late emperor who passed away for five years...

Don't eat these either.

Moreover, Su Bian was the second person Long Jingying met who didn't eat these foods in these years.

But Long Jingying didn't say anything.

His expression was cold, and his eyes were still the same as before, without any emotional ups and downs.

Seeing this, Su Bian didn't pay much attention to it, and put the matter behind him in the blink of an eye.

Su Bian was seldom talkative, while Long Jingying cherished words like gold.

The two of them didn't speak, and Yan Ruyu, who was a maid, didn't dare to speak.

The three of them didn't eat or sleep, and they were the last to be seated, but they finished their meal faster than the guests who had arrived earlier.

After eating, Yan Ruyu summoned the waiter to pay the bill.

The waiter in the shop bowed and said, "Three guest officials, a total of three coins."

Su Bian took out the silver, put it on the table, and continued: "Come to the third room."

The waiter in the shop responded with a hey, took the money, and brought the three of them to the room on the second floor.

As the prime minister, Long Jingying has the most distinguished status, so naturally he should be the first to go back to the house to rest.

Su Bian said goodbye to Long Jingying, and turned to leave after Long Jingying returned to the house.

Unexpectedly, after entering the room, Long Jingying did not fall asleep, but stood in place, motionless.

It wasn't until Su Bian turned to leave that Long Jingying in the room made any movement.

Long Jingying raised her eyes quietly, and looked in the direction Su Bian left.His eyes were dark and gloomy, like ice pools, unfathomable.

Su Bian on the other side of the door didn't realize it.

I don't know if it's because he's not in the capital, or because he doesn't have to go to court, or because he doesn't have to worry about Xuanyue coming to harass him, Su Bian slept very peacefully and had a good night's sleep.

...But Xuan Yue who was still on his way on the other side was completely different.

Thinking of Long Jingying's ulterior motives for Su Bian, Xuan Yue couldn't sleep.Driving the horse all the way, the horse rushed to Huai'an.

Originally it would take ten days to travel from the capital to Huai'an, but Xuanyue rushed all the way to Huai'an in just four days.

Su Bian had only left Beijing one day earlier, and since Long Jingying, who was the prime minister, was also there, it would naturally not be much faster.When Xuanyue arrived in Huai'an, Su Bian and Long Jingying were still there.

on the way.

Xuanyue rushed to Huai'an and broke into the yamen directly to find someone.In the end, after searching around, he didn't even see half of Su Bian's figure.

At this moment, Xuan Yue realized that he had come a bit too early.

Xuan Yue stood in the yamen, clicked his tongue unhappily.

When Xuan Yue was not the Minister of Military Aircraft, Guo Wei, he served as an admiral in Xuzhou.

At that time, everyone in Xuzhou knew Xuan Yue's ferocious nature.From the magistrate to the county magistrate, no one knows, no one knows.

What's more... no one dares to mess with it.

Back then Xuan Yue was more famous in Xuzhou than he is now in Beijing.

After all, Xuanyue was only more than eighteen years old, young and vigorous, and his temper was naturally more 'hot' than now.

and so……

Even after more than eight years, all the yamen servants in Huai'an County could not forget Xuan Yue's frightening face.

They stood in the yamen, their legs were weak, they were frightened, and they did not dare to breathe.

... Xuan... Why did Xuan Yue suddenly come to Huai'an? !

The county magistrate of Huai'an County was still holding the brothel girl in his arms to immerse himself in the gentle village. As soon as the servants in the mansion said that Xuan Yue was coming, he immediately pushed the beauty away in his arms and put on his clothes immediately.

, rushed towards the Yamen non-stop.

Shi Wen came out of the brothel, and after getting into the sedan chair, he turned his head and asked the servants who were following beside the sedan chair: "Admiral...no, why did the Lord Captain suddenly come to Huai'an?"

The servant shook his head: "The villain doesn't know either. When Mr. Guowei arrived at the yamen, he didn't say anything, and just rushed in, as if he was looking for someone."

Shi Wen frowned: "... Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

The servant shook his head again: "I don't know."

At this time, Shi Wen's heart moved, thinking of something.

Shi Wen said, "The governor has been sent over again?"

The servant thought for a while, and asked puzzledly, "Didn't the governor come here once two months ago? Why don't you send the governor over so soon?"

Shi Wen heard this, and sneered: "Didn't you hear that the Taiqing Court was investigating the case eight years ago? Maybe the Taiqing Court sent people to Huai'an to investigate the case."

When the servants heard this, they became worried.

The servant said worriedly: "If that case is found out..."

Before the servant could say anything, Shi Wen cut it off.

Shi Wen said disdainfully: "The case has not been investigated for eight years, what is there to worry about? The evidence has long been destroyed, and the former Chi Mansion has long since changed owners.

If the people from the Taiqing Academy come, even if Qiu Qingxi, the young minister of the Taiqing Academy, is sent over, I will not be afraid! "

The servant bowed: "My lord said yes. But over there..."

Shi Wen snorted coldly, "Don't worry about this, as early as when the Taiqing Court found out the case of the Chifu, I sent someone to ask someone to let them live in peace in the recent period, and don't make any fools."

come out.When the Taiqing Academy stopped pursuing the matter, the limelight would pass. "

The next person realizes.

However, Shi Wen was still curious about one thing.

Shi Wen frowned, puzzled: "Eight years have passed since this case, why did the Taiqing Court suddenly pursue it?"

If the case in the past two years is understandable.

The servant shook his head again, and said, "I don't know."

Once again, the servant's petty ignorance caused Shi Wen's face to turn dark, and he raised his hand to slap the servant on the head.

Shi Wen: "I don't know, you can only say these two words!"

The servant looked aggrieved, "How can a villain know about those things in the palace..."

Shi Wen snorted coldly.

Too lazy to waste time with his servants, Shi Wen lowered the sedan chair curtain.

Shi Wen said, "Go back to the Yamen."

Inside the sedan chair, Shi Wen frowned, lost in thought.

Who exactly was sent by the Taiqing Academy to make Xuan Yue condescend and come to Huai'an to find someone in person?

... I can't figure it out.

Arriving at the yamen, seeing Xuan Yue inside the yamen, Shi Wen's face was instantly filled with a smile.

Shi Wen greeted him with a smile, and said: "Master Guowei is here, and the lower officials are far away from welcoming you. I hope Mr. Guowei will not take it to heart."

After finishing speaking, he immediately turned his head and stared at the shivering yamen servant.

Shi Wen continued: "Things with no eyes, why are you still standing there, why don't you bring a chair for Lord Lieutenant!"

The yamen servant answered yes with a trembling voice, and immediately prepared to move the chair.

But was stopped by Xuan Yue.

Xuan Yue said casually: "No need, I just came to find someone. Since the person is not here, I should go."

When Shi Wen heard this, his eyes flickered.

Shi Wen bowed, and asked with a smile: "I don't know who the Lord Captain is looking for..."

Xuan Yue gave him a cool look.

Xuan Yue's eyes turned cold, and Shi Wen was startled.

Shi Wenqian explained with a smile: "Master Guowei, don't misunderstand, I just want to see if I can help Mr. Guowei look for it..."

Xuan Yue replied indifferently: "You can't help."

Xuanyue's words had come to this point, Shi Wen would be courting death if he continued to question.

So Shi Wen changed the subject.

Shi Wendao: "Master Guowei has just arrived in Huai'an? Have you found a place to live? If Mr. Guowei doesn't mind, how about staying in the Shifu of Xiaguan? How about the beauties in Xiaguan's residence?"

Soft and fragrant, complete with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it will definitely please the Guowei Lord—”

Shi Wen boasted sentence by sentence, but Xuan Yue was completely indifferent.

Not only that, but even more disdainful.

Music, chess, calligraphy and painting?What is that.

His people can tell the right and wrong of a case at a glance, they can decide and try the case, they can discern the details, and they are omnipotent.

Thinking of Su Bian and Long Jingying staying together alone, Xuan Yue couldn't help feeling a little upset.

Gee.

Shi Wen was still talking about the beauties in his mansion, and when he got to the point, Xuan Yue let out a displeased 'tsk'.

Shi Wen's body froze, thinking that he had accidentally touched Xuan Yue's reverse scale, so his voice stopped abruptly.

The current Xuanyue is no better than the previous Xuanyue.

With Xuanyue's overwhelming power in the court, no one in the court would say anything even if he stood up and chopped off his head.

No.

I'm afraid the news won't reach Huai'an County.

Shi Wen asked cautiously: "Master Guowei, how can you not be satisfied...?"

——I am not satisfied with anything.

Xuan Yue lowered his eyes and glanced at Shi Wen.

Xuan Yue knew the truth of this case.

Xuan Yue's eyes were deep, and Shi Wen felt a little flustered when Xuan Yue looked at him.

Xuan Yue sneered, turned and left.

Xuan Yue originally planned to stay in Shi Wen's yamen, waiting for Su Bian to come to the door.But now, he suddenly changed his mind.

Xuan Yue decided to hide in the dark and disappear.

Let him see what this Lord Chitose has in mind for his people.

After Xuan Yue left, the yamen servant standing beside him dared to step forward.

The yamen servant asked in a low voice: "My lord, why did Mr. Guo Wei suddenly come to Huai'an?"

Shi Wen frowned, and said impatiently: "I don't know."

Recalling the look in Xuan Yue's eyes before he left, Shi Wen felt lingering fear in his heart.

For some reason, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Could it be that Xuanyue knew something?

No, it's impossible.

Eight years ago, Xuanyue came to Huai'an once, that is, the five days when Xuanyue took the order and went to Huai'an to conscript.

But during those five days, Xuan Yue spent most of his time in the Shifu, drinking, drinking and having fun, and hardly ever went out of the Shifu, so how could he possibly know what happened outside.

After thinking about it, Shi Wen felt relieved again.

The yamen servant standing on the side watched Xuan Yue's leaving direction, hesitantly said: "My lord, do you want to catch up?"

No matter how cruel and frightening Xuan Yue is, it is impossible to avoid him, but he is still a first-rank minister of military affairs, isn't he?

And Shi Wen is only a mere seventh-rank Zhima county magistrate, so he should try to curry favor with Xuan Yue.

In the past, Shi Wen did just that.

But now, Shi Wen didn't dare.

For the sake of his own life, Shi Wen said: "Stop chasing him, since Lord Lieutenant of the State doesn't want to see me, then I will get acquainted."

Hearing this, the servants standing beside him also let out a long sigh of relief.

They were also terrified of Xuan Yue.

Just by standing there still, Xuan Yue can already make people pee their pants in fright.

Shi Wen thought of something, and continued: "In a few days, the people above may come, you go and prepare."

The yamen servant asked: "Master Governor?"

Shi Wen denied it: "No, people from the Taiqing Academy."

Shi Wen wasn't sure before, but after seeing Xuan Yue, Shi Wen was sure.

——There will definitely be people from the Taiqing Academy coming to Huai'an.

Seven days later, Su Bian and Long Jingying finally arrived in Huai'an.

Su Bian lifted the curtain of the carriage and glanced at the scene outside the carriage.

The streets of Huai'an County are bustling with people coming and going, just like the scene in Ningxiang.

Su Bian glanced at it and said, "Stop."

Yan Ruyu outside the carriage tightened the rope to stop the horse, then turned around and said in confusion, "Master, you haven't arrived at the inn yet."

Su Bian replied: "I'll go down for a while, you and Mr. Long go to the inn."

Yan Ruyu snorted, and then quickly continued: "Then the slave girl has found the inn, so come and look for the young master!"

Su Bianen gave a sigh, and then said: "Take care of Mr. Long."

Yan Ruyu: "I know."

Su Bian turned his gaze to Long Jingying, and said: "Then the officer... I will get out of the car first."

Long Jingying looked up at Su Bian, but said nothing.

Su Bian had expected it a long time ago and was used to it, so he didn't find it strange.

Su Bian lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Just jumped out of the carriage, only to hear Yan Ruyu exclaimed in the carriage behind him, "Qian...Young Master Long!"

Long Jingying?

Hearing this, Su Bian frowned and looked behind him.

When he turned around, he froze.

I saw that Long Jingying, who was sitting in the carriage steadily just now, also got out of the carriage at some point, and at this moment, she was standing silently behind Su Bian.

Just like before, as soon as Long Jingying got out of the carriage, she attracted the eyes of passers-by, dazzling and eye-catching.

Su Bian was silent for two seconds, and asked, "Mr. Long also wants to go around?"

Long Jingying didn't speak.

Su Bian understood.

Su Bian shifted his gaze to Long Jingying's back, "Go to the inn first."

Yan Ruyu hesitated, "Then Mr. Long..."

Su Bian: "Mr. Long said he wants to go shopping in the street."

Yan Ruyu shouted, and replied: "Your maidservant knows!"

After all, he drove the carriage and left.

Not long after leaving, Yan Ruyu suddenly realized something.

and many more.

When did you say it?

Why didn't she hear Chitose speak? ?

Could it be that she forgot again? ? ?

Yan Ruyu fell into deep thought.

After Yan Ruyu left, Su Bian turned his attention to Long Jingying again.

Su Bian asked, "Where does Mr. Long want to go?"

Long Jingying finally opened her mouth and uttered two words: "It's all right."

Long Jingying's voice was cold and thin, ethereal and empty.

Su Bian replied: "Then I will just wander around casually."

Long Jingying didn't respond, she acquiesced.

So Su Bian really wandered around casually.

But not without purpose.

Su Bian has no interest in shopping.

In addition, when Su Bian was the county magistrate in Ningxiang, he had to patrol the streets from time to time. In the days when he was in Ningxiang alone, Su Bian, as the magistrate of Ningxiang, had already almost wiped out all the people on the street.

Some things are thrown up by shopping.

Therefore, the shopping in Su Bian's mouth is actually a secret investigation.

Su Bian walked forward, and Long Jingying quietly followed behind.

He looked at Su Bian's back, his eyes fixed on Su Bian's every move.

Su Bian walked to a porcelain stall, picked up a porcelain bowl, looked at it, and asked, "How much silver is this bowl?"

Unexpectedly, the owner of the porcelain stall stared straight at Long Jingying behind Su Bian without blinking.After Su Bian called three times, he came back to his senses.

The vendor waved his hand and said, "No money, no money!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Long Jingying and smiled.

The vendor rubbed his hands excitedly, swallowed, and said, "I don't know the name of this beauty? Is there a marriage contract? If you don't mind..."

Before the vendor could finish speaking, Su Bian cut it off expressionlessly and said, "Excuse me."

How can the majestic prime minister be imagined by someone like him who is interested in sex?

As soon as the word mind was uttered, Long Jingying raised her eyes and glanced at Su Bian.

Then, he quickly looked back.

In short, the porcelain stall cannot continue to stay.

So Su Bian took two steps forward and changed booths.

The nearest stall sells rouge gouache.

Su Bian is a man, and Long Jingying is also a man. What kind of rouge and gouache do the two men buy?Su Bian didn't stop, and was about to walk straight through.

Unexpectedly, the vendor saw that the two were dressed in expensive clothes, and one of them was a man of wealth, so he immediately stopped Su Bian.

The vendor shouted at Su Bian: "Master, buy two boxes of rouge powder for your wife and go home!"

……lady?

Su Bian paused and frowned.

Where is the lady from?

Su Bian turned his face, and saw that the vendor quickly picked up the rouge on the table, and said to Long Jingying who was behind Su Bian: "Ma'am, look at this rouge, the color is very correct!"

Long Jingying frowned, but said nothing.

Su Bian was silent.

Su Bian was silent for two seconds, and said, "Master Long, you'd better... go back to the inn first."

When Su Bian said the words, the rouge vendor covered his mouth in surprise and exclaimed, "What, it turned out to be the son, isn't it the madam!"

She thought it was a woman disguised as a man!

Su Bian: "..."

Suddenly, Long Jingying seemed to have noticed something, turned her head, and slowly looked behind her.

Turning around, I saw Xuan Yue standing on the stone bridge in the distance, separated by a long distance from the two of them.If it weren't for Long Jingying's strong martial arts, ordinary people would definitely see him from such a long distance.

Xuan Yue was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing Long Jingying turning her head back, the latter couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, revealing a bewitching and charming smile.

But his eyes were full of surging killing intent.

Long Jingying and Xuan Yue looked at each other, then quietly looked away.

As if nothing had happened, his expression was calm.
