I would rather die than OOC[Quick Transmigration]

The name is Xiaosang instead of Xiaoyi, which is obviously different from before, with a bit of a businesslike meaning in it.Sang meant to ask, now that their identities are different, he will really follow Xie Yuan to do things in front of Xie Yuan in the future, and he has to figure out the difference between master and servant, which is as it should be.

So, is it true that the three words "Brother Yuan" cannot be called in the future?

Sang Yi was stunned for a moment, pondered for a while, thought about the title he should have, and then asked tentatively: "City... Lord?"

Xie Yuan himself was obviously taken aback, he opened his mouth to say something, but Sang Yi waited for a long time, but still didn't wait for him to speak.He took Xie Yuan's anomaly as "didn't sleep well" as a matter of course, and he also took it as his approval of the new name of these two words.They have been going around for the past few days, drinking every scene, and only have time to rest until late at night. No one can bear this kind of suffering, and now this kind of life doesn't know when it will end.

Sang Yi was a little guilty, he woke up in the middle of the night, and when he opened his eyes, he found that he was lying in Xie Yuan's arms, hugging his waist, and his legs were randomly pressing on Xie Yuan's legs, and the whole body was hanging on him .Not to mention now, even when he was a child, he had never been so sticky. He was so scared that he quickly slipped out of bed and rolled back to his little couch.Fortunately, Xie Yuan seemed to be too drunk and didn't remember, without mentioning it, Sang Yi brought a water basin, a willow brush, teeth cleaning powder and other things to help him wash up, her face was not red and her heart was not beating.

Xie Yuan didn't say anything.The atmosphere was a bit weird, and both of them held their breath carefully, so as not to let the other party notice their abnormality, only the sound of water splashing in the silver basin was left.

After washing up, Xie Yuan asked unnaturally: "Do you have any arrangements for this morning?"

Sang Yi stood at attention and replied earnestly: "Your fifth uncle, the former Jiangsu and Zhejiang General Soldier Mr. Qi, wants to come to visit, and he should be here to hand over the military affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Xie Yuan thought for a while: "I haven't seen him for a few years. I heard that he has come with his father these few years and is leading Jiangling's troops? Do you recognize him?"

Sang Yi was silent for a moment, then ground her teeth: "...Well. When I first arrived at Pingshan Camp, Master Qi happened to be training and leading recruits, and I was promoted from him.

Xie Yuan looked at him, smiled suddenly, reached out and patted his head: "Have you been trained badly?"

This action is very intimate, but very natural, the two of them have never done this for more than three years, Xie Yuan stayed on his black and soft hair for a while after touching it, as if he was not willing to let go.Sang Yi's cautiousness just now was also dispelled by his gesture of being close and friendly.Sang Yi didn't make a sound, Xie Yuan put his hand down and put it on his shoulder naturally, in a gesture of protection and guidance, leading him out to the study in the mansion.

While walking, Xie Yuanbian said lightly: "I was also his soldier at the beginning. When I first entered the barracks, he said that I was born too white. I was a little boy who easily provokes girls. I have no masculinity, so I rolled in the mud for more than a year. In the first half of the month, it is not enough to peel off a layer of skin in the sun. Others are on duty every five days, and I am on duty every three days. He will stand beside me and stare at me. Run around the camp."

Sang Yi quietly raised her eyes and glanced at him.

Xie Yuan is not a sissy in any way. When he was young, his fair skin was probably inherited from his mother he had never met. All the nobles in Jiangling combined are no better than him alone. Now his outline is better than before. It is darker, and the skin color is also slightly darker. It is due to the experience in the army. It looks like an adult man, and the deep strength and resilience are hidden under the tall figure.Sang Yi looked at himself, although the twitch had already been pumped up, and he practiced sword skills and fighting all day long to make his body tight and powerful, but no matter how he looked at it, he looked like a young man, no taller than Xie Yuan, no stronger than Xie Yuan, even his skin color He also couldn't get a little tan like Xie Yuan, which really made people feel ashamed.

Sang Yi held back for a while, and imitated his tone and said calmly: "It seems that Master Qi teaches the students in the same way, especially because he can't see that the recruits are white. At the beginning, I was also... released under the sun I rolled in the mud for more than a month, but I still didn’t get tanned, so he let me roll for more than a month. Finally, he invited me to drink tea, first asked me where I was from, and then said that my appearance seemed to be natural. Yes, I couldn’t change it, and said I was very sorry, so I was sent to be on night duty the next day, and I was also required to stand next to me and stare at me. If I was bitten by a mosquito and scratched it, I was fined to run fifteen laps around the camp. I asked him why, and he said that when he was tired from running, he could focus on nothing else and not be afraid of mosquito bites, and he could sleep well after returning.”

"Bullying you like that?" Xie Yuan raised his eyebrows, feeling distressed and wanted to laugh, "Did you take revenge?"

Sang Yi answered honestly: "No."

The corners of Xie Yuan's lips curled up, and he raised his hand to knock on his forehead: "Then you are still a little short of my true biography. If I were there, I would have caught hundreds of mosquitoes and put them in his room at night. "

Sang Yi: "No."

Xie Yuan continued to laugh: "It's not too late now, Master Qi will be sitting in the living room later, I'll bully you back, okay?"

Sang Yi said sternly: "Yuan... City Lord, please respect yourself. He is your uncle, who is on our side. This time the Lord passed away, and the soldiers and horses of our family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were helped by this adult. Dedicated. There are many dandies in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang barracks, and most of the dandies do not like to move around, they will not come out to suffer from the scorching sun, and their natural complexion is fair. Perhaps because of this, the adults also want us to get rid of the shackles of our original identities and have a good time. Doing things in the army. I, my words... also, can't all be blamed on Mr. Qi. He is for the good of the Xie family."

Xie Yuan listened, seeming to be a little distracted. After a while, he sighed softly for some reason: "If you were a child, you would pester me and ask me to add mustard to his pastry."

Sang Yi: "..."

Sang Yi slowed down a little, was stunned for a moment, and then continued to walk forward without saying a word.Xie Yuan was missing him in the past, so he no longer called him Xiaoyi, he was no longer the elder brother who loved him in every possible way, but the patriarch and the chief officer in the army that he would serve his whole life from now on.

He should indeed get used to calling Xie Yuan "City Lord" as soon as possible.

In fact, he had already thought about these things clearly, long before he heard the conversation between his master and Xie Yue—he was cultivated as a knife of the Xie family, and Xie Yuan would unsheath him in the future. He thought that his future life was wrong: he thought that he could study hard to be by his side, and be the cute little brother by his side from the beginning to the end, but the world was ups and downs, and no one had ever told him before that Jiangling City Lord only Being able to stand alone, without the company of anyone, because that position is unique.He is just his school boy, no matter how much Xie Yuan dotes on him, he is not qualified to stand in the same world as him.

And he found a new way of life from his master—a woman, without father and mother, without anyone to rely on, cruel training and bloody fighting, hidden secret missions lurking all year round never destroyed her, and perhaps took away all of her life. Certain precious things, like love, like purity; but she was completely free now.After Xie Yue's death, she abdicated from her position as an envoy in charge of the army, took out a little savings to open a restaurant, and watched people sing and sing every night. She lived alone and lived freely. Through her, Sang Yi could see herself What the future looks like: to be the same as her, the sharpest knife of the Xie family, he can stand side by side with Xie Yuan in this way, and then the curtain will end quietly.

It was the best life he could have imagined.

Before everyone knew it, the boy who was groping in the dark and being raised as a knife already knew his future as a weapon in the hands of others, and nailed himself here.It's just that reality is sometimes different than imagination. Reality breeds laziness and slack, and sometimes he forgets what he is doing, but that's a later matter.

In the afternoon, Xie Yuan sent his uncle away and declined the other party's invitation to have dinner together.He is now in Dai Xiao, and the whole family eats green vegetables and tofu, clear soup with little water, and everyone's face is full of vegetables.But this practice was broken the next day after Shaodi Duoqing's memorial came down. During the bombing banquets, one had to eat wine and meat. Although Xie Yuan didn't like the days of tofu and vegetables, he also didn't like spending time at the dinner party all day long. In the past few days, he couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach, and even smelled the smell of wine and made him want to vomit.Recently, Xie's family has been busy, the old cook has returned to his hometown to take care of his grandson, and the new ones have not been recruited yet. The main mansion is deserted, and only those men's aunts and wives are left with small stoves in their rooms.

Sang Yi asked politely: "What do you want for dinner?"

Xie Yuan rubbed the center of his brows, tried his best to suppress the tiredness in his eyes, and patted him on the shoulder: "Come on, I'll take you to eat delicious food. You and I have just returned home, so it's just a welcome for each other."

He didn't go back to Jiangling for three years. Although Sang Yi was always in Jiangling, he was kept in the dark training camp of Xie's family, and was later taken out by Xie Yuan to fight. He basically never went out.At first, Xie Yuan said to take him to a restaurant that was famous in Jiangling, but in the past three years, Jiangling has undergone a lot of construction work, and in some places even the streets have been changed. The business of that restaurant has been sold out long ago, and now it has been idle, closed and not accepting business.

Xie Yuan said: "Then go to another one, I remember the name, it seems to be a drunken room or something—"

Sang Yi coughed softly, and pointed out solemnly: "Master, it seems to be a kiln there."

Xie Yuan: "..."

When Xie Yuan was young, he was not considered a dude. To all the rich children in Jiangling, Xie Yuan was the talented, beautiful, and powerful "child from other people's family". No one could overwhelm him.But correspondingly, the circle of young master Kuo Shao is here, and all news is exchanged. Back then, the Drunken Guest Room was a famous place for rich people. Xie Yuan followed Xie Yue to go there a few times, but he was not interested, so he turned around and turned to this place. I forgot, it's just an ordinary restaurant—isn't that the name of the restaurant?

Xie Yuan was silent for a moment: "Then—"

"City Lord." Sang Yi interrupted him, looking over calmly with a pair of penetrating eyes, "Let's go eat sliced ​​noodles."

The words were very flat, and there seemed to be no other meaning, just simply wanting to eat.

Xie Yuan froze for a moment, then nodded.The two of them didn't speak again, they walked one after the other to the place they were familiar with since childhood, Sang Yi followed behind, Xie Yuan slowed down, until he was side by side with him, he stretched out his hand to wrap his shoulders again.It was already evening, and the small stalls and shops on the side of the road were all lit up, and it was warm yellow.Sang Yi spent money to buy sweet and cold smooth cakes and appetizing egg rice wine from the shopkeeper. She carried them full in the palm of her hand and put them on the light yellow wooden table when she arrived at the stall. All the gluttons hooked up, and only then did I really feel hungry.

The two of them have been out for so long, and they have also regained some of the feeling that they were inseparable from each other back then. None of the childhood memories were forgotten first, and they were no longer as stiff as they were a few days ago when getting along.When the noodles were served, Sang Yi poured chopped green onion and vinegar in a familiar way, and when she was about to put it down, she heard Xie Yuan say: "Give me some too." He pushed the bowl to this side, and Sang Yi continued to serve him Pour vinegar and green onions into the bowl, the same amount as my own, just right.

After eating, Sang Yi paid the money and walked home with Xie Yuan.There were still a lot of things to do at night, Sang Yi followed Xie Yuan into the study, and Xie Yuan threw him an account book: "Here is the account of the Pingshan camp's food, grass and military supplies. Take a look and check the amount allocated by the court. I don't understand. If so, just ask me. I have to check more than 40 accounts here, the sooner I read them the better, I need to report to His Majesty the situation in Jiangling as soon as possible."

Sang Yi knew how to read the accounts. Xie Yue had asked his master to teach him to show him all the expenditure accounts in the mansion in the past few years. Sang Yi also found out evidence that his servants embezzled property and made false accounts.But it is very difficult to put this skill in the densely packed military accounts. After reading a few books, Sang Yi shook her head and said in a low voice: "...I'm not very good at it, City Lord."

Xie Yuan didn't raise his head, and took out an account book he had approved: "This is an old account book from a few years ago, and there are a lot of false data. Basically, the gang of people at the bottom have done their best to make money here. You compare Just start studying, don't be in a hurry."

Sang Yi leaned over to take it, but Xie Yuan didn't intend to hand it over.This table is so wide that Sang Yi can only reach a tip even if she stretches out her five fingers.Xie Yuan lowered his eyes, caught a glimpse of this white and beautiful hand in front of him, patted the place around him like a business, and then moved aside for a while.

"Come here, Xiaosang, I can tell you something." He said.

Sang Yi then sat down with a large stack of ledgers, at first two or three fists away from Xie Yuan, and after he finished reading each ledger, Xie Yuan helped him correct it, leaned over to take his pen, and circled his omissions Sitting in a place with wrists pressed against wrists, shoulders pressed against shoulders, it is warm and comfortable, not as shady as in the middle of the night alone.

After Xie Yuan changed two books for him, Sang Yi basically knew it, and the progress of the two picked up quickly, and they were optimistic about seven or eight books in a short time.After reading a stack, Xie Yuan rechecked it for the third time, and Sang Yi was next to him to record the details of the accounts, sort and summarize them, and quickly write them in lower case on the yellow rattan paper.

His handwriting is still not good-looking now, but it is still much better than it was then.It's small script, but the strokes don't seem to be restrained at all. The writing is free and easy, and I don't know who I learned it from.

After repeated confirmation, Xie Yuan put down the accounts and waited for him to finish copying them.There was a pot of Yuqianchun that had long since cooled down by the table. Xie Yuan poured a cup and brought it to Sang Yi. Sang Yi thanked her in a low voice, then took a few sips of it, bowed her head and continued writing.As she was writing, she suddenly felt that the people around her were not moving, and her breathing was long. Sang Yi turned her head to look, and just happened to see Xie Yuan leaning over to him with her eyes closed - leaning on her side, with the back of her head against the back of the chair, but her forehead Pressing against his ear, the breath slowly slid along the side of his face.Xie Yuangao, Sang Yi is more than a head shorter than him, so it should be very uncomfortable to lean against to sleep, but Xie Yuan really fell asleep.

Sang Yi's hand holding the pen paused slightly, and then she moved lightly, tilting the tip of the pen, and the handwriting was as light as a mosquito's legs.He stiffened for a moment, then tried to relax, straightened his back calmly, so that Xie Yuan would not have to work so hard.

...Maybe this is also one of the responsibilities of accompanying readers?

He didn't dare to move his neck, he felt that Xie Yuan was the only one left leaning on him in the world, it felt heavy to the touch, solid and warm.He tried his best to turn his eyeballs, and glanced to the side with his peripheral vision - too close, he couldn't see Xie Yuan's face clearly, he could only see Xie Yuan's eyelashes, which were long and framed in the bright yellow light a shadow.

Xie Yuan may be very tired these days, even more so than him.Sang Yi can't drink much alcohol, and she is still young, Xie Yuan always stands in the way of drinking for him at the dinner table, not him.The most powerful one was the day before yesterday, when several uncles got drunk with them until late at night, talking about Xie Yue's inheritance.The burning knife in the north was poured round after round, and Xie Yuan vomited several times after returning home. Finally, there was nothing to vomit, and he could only vomit acid water with a pale face.Sang Yi applied a hot towel to his face and made him hangover soup, but she still remembered Xie Yuan's expression that night, her eyes were bloodshot, and she even felt a little weathered.This appearance will not appear in front of people.

A few days after Xie Yue passed away, that is, that night, Sang Yi suddenly realized that the person who passed away was his brother Yuan's father.

Xie Yuan's mother left early, and after Xie Yue passed away, he was just like him, without parents.Is his brother Yuan sad?Maybe it's sad, but when is it sad?

Sang Yi kept this posture motionless for a long while, when she felt that half of her body was about to go numb and sore, Xie Yuan woke up.His lord of the city didn't seem to understand what was going on. When he saw it clearly, he slowly got up and took a few sips from the cup of cold tea on the table. He seemed to have forgotten that it was the cup that Sang Yi touched his lips just now. .

Sang Yi tried to remind him, but after thinking about it, she shut up.

"Are your shoulders sore?" Xie Yuan asked.

Sang Yi nodded honestly: "A little bit. You... are a little heavy."

"Then what should we do?" Xie Yuan's voice sounded very relaxed, maybe because he just took a nap.Before Sang Yi could speak, he stretched out his hand, wrapped his arms around his shoulders, and pulled him into his arms.

Xie Yuan said indifferently: "Then let you sleep with me for a while, that's only fair. Take a break, Xiao Sang, and I'll call you when the time comes."

Sang Yi glanced at him.Xie Yuan's expression showed that this was another order he couldn't resist, so he put down the brush in his hand and put his hands in his sleeves.He felt that this was a bit strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange. Before he could figure it out, his consciousness was quickly captured by Xie Yuan's warm embrace, and the exhaustion brought about by the long continuous rotation surged up. He closed his eyes drowsily and fell asleep almost instantly.

Xie Yuan hugged him with one arm, and used the other free hand to change the account. After he fell asleep, Xie Yuan got up with a very slight movement, and walked to the next door with Sang Yi in his arms, where there was a paved bed.

Sang Yi slept soundly and showed no sign of waking up.Xie Yuan put him down, helped him pull the quilt tightly, and then touched his cheek with his hand.The lips of the person in front of him are slightly parted, the warm and sweet breath still has a little tea fragrance, and the hair is slightly fluttering.It seemed that there was still warmth from this little guy on his chest, Xie Yuan stretched out his hand to stroke it, and heard his heart beating, fast and heavy.

Many complicated affairs were being resolved day by day, Xie Yue left in a hurry, and the will written in the military camp was incomplete, and only Xie Yuan was appointed as the heir, and Sang Yi was responsible for the affairs of Jiang Junzhong. There is no mention of Xie's other industries spread all over the world.On the seventh day after Xie Yuan took over as the city lord, after contacting and weighing the forces of all parties, the heads of the Xie family in Gongzhou, Jianzhou, Ningcheng and other places other than Jiangling came one after another, and conducted a long-term During the three-day internal handover, the elders who had never met before, Xie Yue's former subordinates, and comrades-in-arms all looked expressionlessly at this young young master.Some people want to keep their current interests, so they first promise their interests, stabilize their position, and think long-term. Some people are impatient and repeatedly ask about future arrangements and measures. Those who can't stay, the Xie family is not without useful people.After three days, every detail was in place and no one disagreed.

The only change came from Sang Yi.At that time, Sang Yi was by Xie Yuan's side all the time, Xie Yuan let go and advised him to deal with some important matters, but several old comrades of Xie Yue insisted that no outsiders should appear during the three-day talks, and said: : "We have heard about the young man surnamed Sang next to you. He exceeded his authority and commanded the soldiers under the city lord. He returned to Jiangling one step earlier than you. I am afraid that I will harbor evil intentions in the future, we only have one request, let this person leave."

Xie Yuan said indifferently: "First, he did not command beyond his authority. He was father's adjutant as early as a year ago. I went back to Jiangling one step at a time, killed those who really had evil intentions, and cleared the obstacles for me. In the end, the person sitting here was me instead of him, which shows that he has no intention of seizing power. Third, Sang Yi is also my father's early friend The orphan of my father, asked Gu to come to my Xie family. Back then, because an old friend offered to reduce troubles and not allow his father to recognize him as a adopted son, he came to be my side. If it wasn’t for this, his surname should have been Xie, thank you There is a place for him at home."

"Furthermore." He said in a deep voice, "Father has passed away, and I am your current city lord."

Sang Yi dozed off outside the door, unaware of the tension inside the door.In his sleep, he vaguely heard a few people arguing, and Xie Yuanbing came to block him and dismissed them one by one slowly. He couldn't hear what he said clearly, but the tone was different from what he had heard before, it was no longer what he used to be. The cloud was calm and breezy, but with a certain stubbornness.He has never heard Xie Yuan speak in such a tone. Under his influence, Xie Yuan has always been calm and stable since childhood. No matter how bad the situation is, he can still deal with it with his unruly and sharp posture. everything.

... What are you insisting on?

He couldn't hear clearly, he closed his eyes in sleepiness, and fell into a dream, thinking about taking a nap before getting up to arrange dinner and accommodation for this huge group of people.Shouldn't we go to the kilns and find some singers and dancers?Although beauty tricks are not on the table, the old guys do it, and the adults seem to do it too.But he is only fourteen, and he is still one year short of the age to enter and exit the Fengyuechang. The sisters in the kiln are about the same height as him, and they will be laughed at if they enter the kiln.

After Xie Yuan's wish was clearly expressed, that is, "If you want to go, you go, go and stay freely, I will decide on Sang Yi", the middle-aged people made a final concession: "You are right, We have also heard of this person, but whether it is the Xie family's rules or His Majesty's request, the city lord of Jiangling must have three right-hand assistants by his side, a military adviser, a master guard, and a personal attendant. If this person surnamed Sang barely occupies If it is the same, then you have to add two more people by your side."

Xie Yuan said: "No need. Xiao Sang is smart, and her skills are also here. After two years of training, she can be competent for these three positions at the same time."

"City Lord, this matter is of great importance. You can't just say it out of your mouth. We are indeed for your own good." A person spoke. The secret guard, assassin, and veteran of the intelligence system behind the scenes of the family is the master of Master Sang Yi.He paused, and pushed forward a piece of paper with the names of three people scrawled on it, "If you are qualified, you need to pass our assessment. The names of these three people have always been on the Xie family's number one red card list. He can kill , we can believe that he is qualified for this position. If he is cowardly and useless goodness, he is not qualified for this position, whether it is him or you. I will make it clear that no matter who is going to be your The left and right arms, firstly, to take action to eliminate these three people, to prove his mind and skill, and secondly, to evaluate policy theory, military situation, and history with me, Mr. Qi, and Mrs. Murong. Proof." He said, "Otherwise you are obsessed with ghosts, he is your subject and the student I was in charge of training, you are qualified to punish me, and I am also qualified to punish my students."

The old man has a sharp eye and is accurate in seeing people.No one noticed that the word "Ghostly Misunderstood" was like a firing pin, piercing Xie Yuan's most secret secret and desire.An old man and a young man looked at each other in surprise or anxiety through the steaming mist of tea. Xie Yuan had no intention of giving in at all. His eyes were as bright as a wolf king who hunted silently by blood, cold and firm. ,Stubborn.

The world of adults is like this, it does not allow people to act coquettishly and beg for mercy, it cuts open the darkest, bloodiest, and complicated things in the world harshly and cruelly, and presents them in front of people's eyes. It is hard not to be caught in such a torrent.They can face the questions given by the teacher in the school, discuss the scene of big Chen's strategy, talk on paper, and assume a complete victory in the battle, but they have never seen it with their own eyes. The real situation is changing rapidly and turbulent. , there is no absolute Haiyan and Heqing, the real battlefield is extremely dangerous, and the word salary alone involves the interests of countless people.The loopholes created by human hearts and greed can never be filled. They can try their best to balance, but they can never be eliminated. In this world, there is not only kindness, understanding and tolerance, but also evil and desire.

Do you want to show Sang Yi such a world?

The city lord of Jiangling needs someone who can cover everything for him in the dark, to be able to struggle back in the darkest depths, including doing some shady things.Xie Yuan couldn't figure out who that person was in the end, his mind was... full of thoughts.

After the meeting, he frowned and pushed the door open, and saw that it was raining outside and the cool breeze was blowing, but Sang Yi, who should have been waiting outside, was no where to be seen.The maids and servants were waiting outside, and they received Sang Yi's order in advance to welcome people from all walks of life to their residences, but Sang Yi himself didn't know where he went.

In the evening, Xie Yuan knew the answer—Sang Yi pulled two cars back, and there were twelve kiln sisters who were posing and wearing heavy makeup, all of them had different styles.

Sang Yi stood at attention and read the report to him earnestly: "Among the several adults who came this time, I checked the greetings they received when they were out of town in the past, and found that the locals would entertain beauties, or go to the famous Fengyuechang together. There are other places, and we can’t justify not entertaining them here, so as to appease the emotions of the adults. In addition, I also found that an adult is particularly fond of men, so there is a young lady who will follow.”

He looked at Xie Yuan: "If you have no other orders, City Master, I will take them there."

Xie Yuan's eyebrows twitched, and he was unable to speak for a long while.

Sang thought that he didn't speak, and thought it was tacit consent, so he led a large group of people past in a mighty way, arranged places in turn, and then rushed back to have dinner with him.

Xie Yuan ate in silence for a while, and then said: "This way...how did you come here?"

Sang Yi scratched her head: "Master taught me that this is a beauty trick. Many people like power and sex. If they don't like these two things, they can use it. Of course, there are also capable people among those who love power and sex. People, just need to be careful when using it."

Xie Yuan continued to ask expressionlessly: "What do you think of Jiang Shao, Liu Jingong, and Yan Zhihui?"

These are the three names proposed by the elder, and they are the three biggest thorns in the eyes of the Xie family.

Sang Yi put down her chopsticks and took a sip of the freshly made berry juice, thought for a while, and then said: "I heard from my master that the former city lord also asked me to read the file. The first person sold our secrets back then. I fled to Jingzhong, and by the way, I also poached a large number of elites from our military command. Who is currently working under the leadership of Jingzhong, in order to seek asylum. The second and third have nothing to say, early in the morning The former city lord did not deal with it. There were many impeachment and irony in the court, and the dark knife was used well. The young emperor almost listened to their words several times. Are you going to liquidate them, city lord? It is true that the situation is unstable now, and we do not have much experience Trade off walks with experience like a former castellan."

Xie Yuan said: "Someone wants me to kill these three people, what do you think?"

Sang Yi thought for a longer time this time: "At present, killing is indeed the fastest way. If someone proposes this to you, then I think it is for your sincere consideration, because we have not yet discussed this issue. Time to deal with it."

Xie Yuan asked: "Kill? Xiao Sang, I thought this shouldn't be the first thing that comes to mind at your current age and attitude."

Sang Yi was taken aback.

He asked in a low voice: "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded and unreasonable? But the city lord, you are in a high position, and someone must consider and plan these things for you." Sang Yi blinked and explained seriously: "These three people The surrounding environment, temperament and habits, these are all used by the master as an example to teach me. If you want to get rid of these three people, I will get rid of them for you. It is not too difficult. If you... don’t like what I said This kind of topic, then I... I won't bring it up in front of you in the future."

Xie Yuan looked at him, and he looked at Xie Yuan with an innocent face.After being silent for a long time, Xie Yuan sighed softly, reached out and put his hand on the top of his head and touched it: "No, I didn't mean to blame you. It's because you grew up too fast, beyond my expectation."

Sang Yi bent her eyes and smiled: "I will be the sharpest knife in your hand." The 14-year-old boy, from his eyes to his tone, has completely grown up, armed with years of fighting and experience, In the eyes of others, it seems that there are flaws everywhere, only when they fight, will they find that he has no flaws, and the young age has become a handy weapon in his hands.

Xie Yuan hadn't mentioned it yet, but Sang Yi had already accepted the task automatically, and even ran away the next day—to use the words in the letter he left, it happened that two of the three people were undercover. Jiangnan came to play, not far away, so you can make a quick decision.It just so happened that the affairs in Jiangling were almost handed over, everything started to go on the right track, and Xie Yuan was no longer as nervous as last month.

Xie Yuan went to Sang Yi's master the morning he found out that the little thing had escaped.

The beautiful woman has painted nails, and her long and narrow phoenix eyes are curved——Sang Yi probably learned that smile from her, but his smile is pure and warm, while the woman's is flirtatious and chilling.She said unhurriedly: "You don't have to worry, it's more than enough to get rid of those three people with a little skill."

Xie Yuan said: "No, he is only 14 years old."

"Isn't it just right to be 14? Why, you can be the lord of the city, why don't we allow Xiaoyi to do some business at the age of 14? It's a good thing to be young, and others won't be wary of him. Hey, if you have something to say, don't turn over the old lady's case ——" The woman hurriedly put down the banana leaf in her hand, and pushed back the dossier that Xie Yuan had just thrown out - which recorded her love and debts for many years. She laughed and scolded: "Sure enough, he has become the lord of the city! I'll go and watch Just watch him and protect him, don’t come here, brat.”

Sang Yi came back after running away for half a month and completed the task brilliantly.Xie Yuan had a bit of a taste for his attitude of leaving without saying goodbye, and severely criticized him, but Sang Yi scratched her head and asked, "Ah? Is that so? I thought you were implying me to kill those three people by asking me what I think about killing those three people." Kill, isn’t this a subtext in officialdom?”

Xie Yuan: "..."

After another year, the problems that should be solved were basically solved, everything started to go on the right track, and Sang Yi also passed his 16th birthday.Of the four sons of the Xie family, except for the eldest son Xie Yuan, the youngest Xie Ke died of tuberculosis, and the remaining two were sent to the army by Xie Yue, who were far apart and held important positions.Xie Chuan was stationed at the frontier and couldn't get away from him. On the contrary, Xie Qin asked for leave and came back to congratulate his elder brother on his appointment.He stayed in Jiangling for four days and then left in a hurry. Xie Yuan accompanied Sang Yi the whole time, and they were polite to each other. Compared with Xie Yuan and Xie Qin, Xie Yuan and Sang Yi were more like two brothers.

"...You guys are so kind." At the dinner table before leaving, Xie Qin drank a little wine, looked at Sang Yi, and seemed a little disappointed, "I used to...ask my father to marry you, but my father won't let you go. My elder brother refused, and then went to the army. After all these years, you haven't changed much."

Sang Yi was distracted, at first she thought Xie Qin was talking to Xie Yuan, but later realized she was talking to herself.His third brother was the one who took the lead in bullying him in the snow, and later laughed at him and teased him from time to time. Sang Yi didn't like this brother very much, and he had nothing to say these days.

"I actually..." Xie Qin was drunk, his eyes were hazy, and there was still some inexplicable water color in his eyes, "I actually like you very much, but I was ignorant when I was young. Whoever I like wants to be noticed, so I caught you. Bullying to death. But someone is smarter than me, he can treat whoever he likes, but I didn't know it at the time."

He stood up shaking and looked back: "I should go, don't say more, don't take it to heart."

Nodding to Xie Yuan again: "Brother, take care."

The carriage has arrived, amidst the clatter of hooves, Sang Yi and Xie Yuan stood side by side, watching the old man travel far away, as if everything has changed, like spring, autumn, winter and summer, the seasons change, come and go, but They are still standing here, still in Jiangling, still side by side.

Xie Yuan turned his head to look at the people around him: the 16-year-old Sang Yi has grown a little taller, his eyebrows and eyes have been completely opened, and he has grown into a look that will amaze others wherever he walks. His breath is also calmer, restrained twice The domineering energy he had when he first arrived in Jiangling years ago, instead showed some laziness like his master.

Sang Yi often said recently: "It's not easy for us little ones. We just want to support our families and don't ask for anything else. You just need to increase your salary, a little bit. That's all it takes to settle down." In fact, Xie Yuancong If you don't give him monthly money, Sang Yi is in charge of the account. If you want money, you will write it down in the account, and take as much as you want.

Xie Yuan asked him: "What kind of family do you raise? Aren't you the only one in your family?"

Sang Yi bent her eyes and smiled: "Maybe I will raise a cat in the future."

He saw the way the two of them would get along in the future, the way the city lord and his subordinates would get along, like family members, without any burden.This may be what Sang Yi expected.

In the dust of the carriage leaving, Sang Yi covered her mouth and nose, and expressed to him that she had no second thoughts: "City Master, I didn't quite hear what the third young master said just now, but I promise that I will stay in Jiangling for the rest of my life. Just be someone close to you."

Xie Yuan saw through what he was thinking at a glance.He said, "He said he liked you."

Sang Yi: "..."

He froze, not knowing how to answer.

There was a little smile in Xie Yuan's eyes, but he couldn't utter the half-sentence hidden behind.

I like you too.

Half a month later, Xie Yuan's second brother, Xie Chuan, married someone outside, and married a girl from a foreign race in the frontier.Xie Yuan and Sang Yi were counting the gifts they were going to send, and their ears were getting cocooned by the words of the aunts at home. Why is this not in line with the ancestral system? There are no rules. Foreign women are not as good as Hanzhong daughters. It's time to start a family at twenty... The two of them are too much trouble.Xie Yuan simply picked a few places, planning to take Sang Yi there to avoid the limelight.

However, when he didn't know, Sang Yi was pulled out alone to receive a "boudoir education" - several mistresses bombarded them in turn, and clearly ordered: "You and the city lord are not young, since you are close Book boy, it's time to crawl on the bed of the city lord, lest the city lord, like the second young master, have any crooked thoughts and marry some weird person home. Other people's book boy broke his body at the age of eleven or twelve, and you have grown up With such a face, how can you not live up to it?"

Sang Yi was reminded.The sex skills he learned from his master back then were useless at all, and Xie Yuan also ordered him not to use them casually. Although this does not mean that he is going to seduce Xie Yuan, he has basic theoretical knowledge, which is enough to deal with it. His duty was years overdue.

Sang Yi thought to himself: "It seems that I am also quite inhumane. I haven't thought about it for a long time. The city lord...has held back for 20 years."

At night, he took a bath and washed his body, dressed inside and out, only lit a candle, wore only a thin shirt, and slept on Xie Yuan's bed.Xie Yuan only thought that he rested early today, and only when he fell asleep did he realize that he was sticking to him, sticky and soft like a cat, hooked
