Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

Once Bo Yang got serious, Xue Pan had nothing to do.So today, the two of them were finally able to sit down and have a good talk.

During the period, Xue Pan saw Bo Yang raising his hand to rub his waist several times, he couldn't help feeling distressed, and wanted to lean over to help him soothe him, but Bo Yang sternly refused.Who knows that soothing and soothing, is it tossing and tossing on the bed again?

Originally, both of them are young and full of vigor, and they are deeply affectionate. They are easy to react when they touch each other's body, so it is better to keep a distance.

Xue Pan had no choice but to let Bo Yang Haosheng sit on the soft couch, moved a chair and sat down opposite him, and said with a sullen face, "Is this the boss?" It always felt like he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Are you still not happy? If it weren't for your messing around every day, I wouldn't want to." Bo Yang rubbed his forehead, "But since you agreed to my wife, I will leave sooner or later. What's the use of hiding? I want to discuss with you where to go. If you don't want to, I will choose myself."

Xue Pan immediately put away the depression on his face, "I just don't want to part with Brother Yang... According to me, Brother Yang might as well find a place to live near the capital, so as not to travel long distances."

"If you're free, you can sneak over there for three or five days, can't you?" Bo Yang glared at him, "Did you forget the reason why your wife wanted us to separate? It's just that someone might find out about it and do it in this way." The article will affect Baochai's marriage. If I live near the capital and you come and go frequently, is it because you are afraid that others will not find out?"

Xue Pan had no choice but to ask, "Then what does Brother Yang think?"

Bo Yang said, "Brother Liu wrote a letter a while ago, didn't he say that he is in Ping'an Prefecture recently? I think the landscape, customs, customs and customs there are quite different from those in the Central Plains. It would be nice if you could go for a walk. There is Liu Brother will take care of you, so you won't be worried. What do you think?"

This idea is indeed good, but Xue Pan always felt a little reconciled, "Although I can trust Brother Liu's personality and skills, but after all, he is not familiar with the place there, and he is on the border with a foreign race. I heard that it is not peaceful. You two People are always alone and helpless. It's better not to choose a place."

He did not forget that Liu Xianglian and Bo Yang had a very good relationship. ——Bo Yang later confessed to him that he got rid of Liu Xianglian and found someone by himself.Being able to entrust each other on this kind of matter is obviously a very close relationship.Although Xue Pan is not jealous... well, he is indeed jealous.

He can't take care of Bo Yang himself, why should he let others take care of him?

It's just that Bo Yang is going to go elsewhere, but there is no one to take care of him, so he is even more worried.Only Jinling can rest assured, and Pian Baiyang doesn't want to go.

Of course, the last person to compromise can only be Xue Pan.

"Brother Yang, just think that what I said before is nonsense. I will go to Ping'an Prefecture." Seeing that Bo Yang did not speak, Xue Pan thought about it, and finally could only agree, but said, "But I will send him off personally. You go there. If not, I don’t know where Brother Yang is going, how can I rest assured?"

Bo Yang said with a smile, "I wanted you to go with me. If you want to go out for a while and gain some experience, my wife will not refuse."

Only then did Xue Pan become happy.But only for a while, thinking that Bo Yang was going to leave, and he would not see anyone for a long time in the future, the joy gradually faded away.

Seeing this, Bo Yang sighed softly, "You, if you are still like this, with everything written on your face, how can I rest assured that you are alone in the capital? You are now the family The pillar of the pillar, everything is more thoughtful."

"Of course I know these reasons. But in front of Brother Yang, does it have to be like this?" Xue Pan said unwillingly.

Bo Yang shook his head and asked him, "Do you know why my wife insisted on letting me leave the capital?"

"Didn't you say it was about your sister's marriage?" Xue Pan looked at Bo Yang in surprise, "Could it be that there are other things to talk about?"

"Of course it's for Baochai's marriage, but it's also to make us calm down. Just wait and see, when I leave, there will inevitably be more and more ladies in my family. Maybe you can meet a few more by chance. Say Don't tell me you've seen too much, and you suddenly changed your mind and wanted to marry a wife and have children?"

As a mother, even if she has temporarily decided to compromise on this matter, it doesn't mean that Aunt Xue will really do nothing and just watch them go on like this.It's just that she will control that speed, and it will never exceed the tolerance limit of the two of them.

It was precisely because Xue Pan's affection was so passionate, that he was desperate to die, that made Aunt Xue think that he might just be hot-headed for a while, and let the two separate for a while, maybe he would cool down.It happened that there was such a ready-made reason as Baochai's marriage, so she made such a request.

Bo Yang understands her good intentions as a mother, but when the person being targeted is herself, it doesn't feel so good.

However, Xue Pan is still so ignorant, if he is not vigilant at all, he might fall into someone else's tricks at some point. ——Nowadays, there are quite a few people who want to marry the Xue family. Aunt Xue herself may not use any means to her son, but she does not see that among the people she is optimistic about, everyone is so glorious.

Xue Pan frowned, "How could Mom be like this? She clearly promised me..."

"She didn't." Bo Yang interrupted him, "She didn't promise anything. Acting as if she doesn't know is the best she can do." He sighed, "Xue Pan, don't complain. She, if my mother is still here, it must be the same. Besides being a mother, who else in this world would put so much effort into planning for you? "

"Brother Yang, I understand." Xue Pan was silent for a while, and then said with a heavy voice, "Brother Yang, please rest assured, my heart will never change. No matter where I am, I will always be with you." That’s all.”

……

Regarding the fact that Bo Yang was going to Ping'an Prefecture, no one in the family was surprised or puzzled. Everyone already had a calculation in their hearts about the cause and effect of Gein.Even Aunt Xue met Bo Yang for the first time and explained a lot of things.

Baochai and Daiyu couldn't talk about this matter, so they prepared a lot of food for Bo Yang to eat on the road, which showed their intentions.

A few days later, Bo Yang and Xue Pan packed their luggage and went out.

Xue Pan grew up among Jinling's beautiful brocades, and what he saw in his eyes was either bragging rights and fighting for wealth, or misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River.Later, when I arrived in the capital, I still had jade le carved saddles, but I had seen a little more of the majestic Tianjia atmosphere.In the final analysis, he is still in the midst of wealth and wealth.Although Bo Yang came from modern times and had a broad vision, most of his activities were in the south of the Yangtze River.Even if I go to the north occasionally, the modern metropolises are actually pretty much the same everywhere, and I can't see any difference.

So on the way out of the capital and heading west, the two finally saw the desolation and openness of the Northland.

In this feeling of vastness, the existence of the individual seems to be compressed to the minimum, and even the sorrow of parting that Xue Pan has never been able to dispel seems to have faded a bit.After all, he and Bo Yang still have so much to go on, so it's really nothing to separate now.If you can't even get through this little setback, what will happen in the future?

Thinking about it this way, I can't help but feel great.Sooner or later, he will make it impossible for anyone to object, and he will no longer need to face such a parting.

He said to Bo Yang, "I used to think that I only had a lot of knowledge. But if I didn't come out and go through this experience, I still don't know that I am nothing."

"That's right. Trapped in the capital city, I can only see the one-third of an acre of land in front of me. Naturally, all my thoughts and energy are spent on it. In fact, I didn't know what it was for when I jumped out to see it. So I like my own Feel at ease." Bo Yang said.

Now the two were riding on the horse, Xue Pan turned to look at Bo Yang when he heard the words.But seeing the relaxed and contented look on his face in the sunlight, he felt a sudden stagnation in his heart.

Bo Yang should be at ease in the first place, and no one or anything can hold him back.It was him who tried his best to pull him into this vortex of his own.During this period of time, everything that Bo Yang encountered was caused by himself, but why is he guilty?But Bo Yang didn't show it at all.

In the past, Xue Pan always felt that Bo Yang was with him, and he could give him a lot.But now he found that those were not what Bo Yang didn't want, they were what he already had.

However, Bo Yang stayed for him after all.It is not an exaggeration to say that it is deeply affectionate.

Before this moment, even though the two of them were in love, Xue Pan knew that Bo Yang loved him, but it was hard for him to figure out how important this love was to him.Because of uncertainty, all kinds of troubles and disputes are unavoidable, but in the end it is just to test his position in his mind.

However, at this moment, all the uncertainties in his heart faded away, leaving only firmness.

"Brother Yang." He urged his horse forward and walked side by side with Bo Yang, "Wait for me for another three to five years to settle the affairs in the capital. By then, the world will be so big that no matter where you go, I will always follow you." your."

"Haven't we already agreed on this? Why did you mention it again?" Bo Yang was surprised.

Xue Pan laughed, "Yes, it's already agreed."

In the northwest, which is about to enter summer, the sun is very strong.Neither Xue Pan nor Bo Yang could bear it.However, the road is bumpy and it is not convenient to take a carriage.So the two had no choice but to hurry on the road in the morning and evening, and find a place to rest at noon.

After walking like this for more than ten days, Xue Pan couldn't help but said, "The weather in the northwest is really weird. It's already like this here, but I don't know what it's like in Ping'an Prefecture?"

Changxing and Changshun were born in the military, and they also stayed in the Northwest before. Now they said with a smile, "Master, how can we get here? Ping'an Prefecture and the capital city are very different! Now we just get used to walking all the way, when the time comes It’s not unbearable.”

Xue Pan was very regretful when he heard the words. If he knew this, he should have asked about the situation in Ping'an Prefecture before coming back.That's all for him, how can Bo Yang endure such a place?And I have to live there for three to five months, and it hurts to think about it.

However, Bo Yang has no intention of changing the destination, so Xue Pan can only continue to move forward with anxiety every day, completely demonizing Ping'an Prefecture in his own vision, wishing to take Bo Yang back home immediately.

The farther you go to the northwest, the fewer people there are.At the beginning, after walking for half a day, you can always come across a village, where you can go in and rest.After walking for a whole day, you may not be able to see a place where people live.When we got close to Ping'an Prefecture, even if we occasionally encountered a village, it was empty.

"It's all because of the war." Changshun sighed, "Wars in the Northwest are still frequent, and almost all the strong men have been taken away. The old, weak, sick and disabled are left in the family. They can't farm at all, so they can only waste the land. The foreign races don’t know when they will come to grab food. However, the taxes are not low at all, and many people can’t live on, so they have to move away. The few who stay are powerless to even move away.”

Xue Pan always thought that the world was peaceful in this dynasty, and that's why the capital had such a prosperous atmosphere. He never thought that the northwest would be like this.

However, when he arrived in Ping'an Prefecture, he found that his previous impression of the Northwest seemed inaccurate.

This city located in the northwest, although limited by the local environment, the houses are far less magnificent than the capital city, and not as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River, but it has its own flavor.In addition, the city's streets are like the bustling and bustling place of the capital. It is completely unimaginable that outside this city, it will be such a desolate and desolate scene.

Bo Yang was not surprised.

The poorer the land, the more it can support such deformed prosperity.After all, most of the wealth in the Northwest is concentrated in this city, so how can it not be prosperous?

Liu Xianglian seems to be doing well here, living in a two-entry yard, which is kept very clean.Xue Pan looked around inside and out, and finally he was barely satisfied.Seeing him like this, Liu Xianglian couldn't help turning her head and whispering to Bo Yang, "What's going on with you and him?"

Bo Yang wrote a letter saying he was going to come and stay for a while, but Xue Pan personally sent him here, and he looked worried in every possible way, so Liu Xianglian couldn't help but notice the clue.

Bo Yang smiled and said, "It's just what you think."

"You..." Liu Xianglian seemed to want to persuade a few words, but when she saw Bo Yang's smile on his face and a calm expression, she shook her head and said, "Forget it, you are a more transparent person than me, so you must know it in your heart, so I will I don't advise you anymore."

No matter how open-minded Liu Xianglian is, she is still a typical child of an aristocratic family after all.In his eyes, this kind of thing is not the right way, no one will take it seriously, Bo Yang is even less likely to be someone who can play this kind of game.It's just that you don't know exactly what happened to you, so it's not appropriate to speak rashly.

It's just that when he turned his head to look at Xue Pan, he couldn't help but feel a little weird.He looked left and right, but he still felt that Xue Pan was a reckless person. What did Bo Yang like in him?

Xue Pan lingered here for a few more days before finally returning home reluctantly.In the next few days, Bo Yang was also listless and lacked energy.Although we all know the truth, but maybe because Xue Pan is too clingy, he is not used to having such a person around him suddenly.

Liu Xianglian tactfully didn't bother, so that Bo Yang had enough time to mourn the spring and autumn.He didn't come over to discuss business with him until he got tired of the sadness and cheered up.

In fact, the reason why Bo Yang wanted to come to the northwest was of course not the metaphysical reasons he told Xue Pan.If you just want to go out and have a look, why can't you go to the northwest to suffer this crime?

When they were in the capital, because of their relationship with the county king, Bo Yang and Xue Pan had quite a lot of contacts with Lin Qi.Xue Pan's personality doesn't quite get along with a square person like Lin Qi, but Bo Yang has a better relationship with him.With a lot of contact, I know a lot of news about the court in Beijing.

Since his ascension to the throne, he has been overwhelmed by the bad government left by the emperor in the past few years, so that he can't take care of many things, and the government has been extremely chaotic in the past few years.Now that the emperor is firmly on the throne and gradually getting rid of the emperor's control, he naturally intends to rectify the court.And this matter is inexhaustible, and it is the time when talents are needed.

Bo Yangsu knew that although Liu Xianglian had the spirit of a hero, it was not that she didn't want to shine on her family and restore the glory of Liu Guogong's mansion, but she had been suppressed all the time and had no way to get ahead, so she let herself drift in the world.That's why Liu Xianglian joined Shangyu's backup department before, and was dispatched to Ping'an Prefecture in the northwest to investigate the matter.

After all, the emperor's rectification of the imperial court did not happen overnight, and it was not a matter of empty words. He always collected information and inquired about the secrets beforehand, and when he had enough confidence, he would act thunderously to convince the officials.

Although the Shangyu Reserve Department is an intelligence department, it is limited to the capital, and its local power is very weak.So it has absorbed many secret members like Xiang Liu Xianglian.

The reason why Bo Yang came here this time was precisely because Liu Xianglian found a lot of information, but was also hindered, so he needed help.But Lin Qi couldn't get away from coming forward, so he had to entrust Bo Yang.As for Bo Yang, accepting this errand is tantamount to accepting the court's solicitation, and he will not be as free as before.But it's also the best option right now.

He told Xue Pan that as long as the two of them stood up and possessed enough power to be feared, no matter how outrageous their behavior was, they could still be the backing and support of Baochai and Daiyu. .

But for Bo Yang, it is obviously impossible to become an official through the normal way, and it is more suitable for him to use the little plot superficiality he knows, and then hide in the dark to investigate news for the court.

He did not tell Xue Pan about this for the time being.Firstly, Xue Pan would definitely not be able to accept him making this kind of "sacrifice", and secondly, his thoughts are very shallow, and he will be easily tested by others. It is not a good thing to know such a secret.Thirdly, the Xue family is one of the four major families, and there are many things involved, and they will be implicated more or less in the future, which also means to avoid suspicion.

As for whether Xue Pan can understand his painstaking efforts, now is not the time to worry about this.At least for Bo Yang, he did everything he could and handed over the rest to Xue Pan, which can be regarded as showing his attitude and doing his best.
