Gongshang Confidante

"I think that Li Zhifu is pig-headed and pig-headed. He doesn't look like someone who helps gifts but not relatives." Ning Xiaobao looked at Li Zhifu's back and said,

"In my opinion, it's better to get out of the city as soon as possible to avoid trouble." Gu Qingsheng turned his face and saw Duan Ruohua's tired face, "Let's rest here tonight, I'll watch outside."

"Xiaobao, you replace..." Ning Zimu was about to speak when he saw Ning Xiaobao closed his ears and pulled Su Muxue in with a smile, "It's okay", Gu Qingsheng patted her hand and said pitifully, "It is better to watch the night than to sleep alone",

Ning Zimu pursed his lips, pinched her hand, "I will accompany you at night", Gu Qingsheng opened his eyes wide in surprise, Ning Zimu stared at her, turned and went into the inn.

Li Zhifu ordered his son to be tied up and brought into the mansion. There was a person sitting in the lobby. Li Zhifu knelt on the ground and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, the dog is messing around. It is a subordinate official who is incapable of discipline. Please forgive me, Imperial Envoy."

The man snorted coldly and said, "Young Master Li Zhifu dared to mobilize the court officers and soldiers to arrest the people without authorization. Is this nonsense? Li Zhifu must have regarded the laws of the Great Zhou as nothing."

"The dog is young and ignorant, please be punished lightly, I will be disciplined in the future", Li Zhifu said in panic, "I have reported this matter to the police, it is better to take off the black gauze hat on your head", The man sneered, turned and left.

"Father, father, untie me quickly." Hearing his son's cry, Li Zhifu slapped him hard, and cursed, "You are unworthy! You are evil!" He anxiously asked the master next to him, "Who is this person?" Where did it come from?",

The master shook his fan, "This person holds an imperial token and speaks with a capital accent. It seems that he has a lot of background, but, except for the rebellious Zuo Sijiao Su Muxue, the capital has never heard of such a high-ranking female official."

Li Zhifu stroked his beard suspiciously, "Isn't it because of the tricks of a liar, I sent someone to follow her quietly to find out where it came from."

Along the way, Su Muxue frowned and said, "Is this the way to Fengzhou?"

"Aunt Qing wants to go to Fengzhou to see what water conservancy project she led the people to do." Ning Xiaobao got in from outside the carriage, with a few peach blossoms scattered on her hair and shoulders, she stretched out her hand from behind with a smile , a delicate peach branch, with a faint fragrance, handed to Su Muxue, "Here you are",

"Stinky girl, don't bring me one." Ning Zimu snorted and pinched Ning Xiaobao's ears, "How can it be my turn? Aunt Qing has picked one up and is taking care of it." Ning Xiaobao smiled slyly, and blinked at Ning Zimu,

Only then did Ning Zimu open the moon, opened the curtain and peeked outside, met Duan Ruohua's eyes, the two got out of the carriage, and went looking for Gu Qingsheng.

"It's finally gone", Ning Xiaobao suddenly felt the pressure lighten, and said with a smile, "There is a peach forest not far from here, I'll take you there." Brushing off the peach blossoms on his head, he said with a smile, "Sneaking off to play again, we are almost in Fengzhou, but we still can't do it",

Ning Xiaobao wrinkled his nose, sat sideways beside her, and sighed, "You, old-fashioned." Su Muxue turned her head and looked at the thick city gate of Fengzhou that came into view. color, shocking.

The purgatory of the city massacre that day is still in sight, the ground is covered with sticky blood, every step you take, blood pours into your boots like hell spring water, and the strong, disgusting smell of blood permeates the entire city of Fengzhou, screaming and wailing The sound is still in my ears.

Su Muxue's face was pale, her fingers unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and she clenched her teeth. That day, she killed many, many people.

Ning Xiaobao held her icy hand with some force, and said slowly, "You know that day, when I entered Fengzhou and saw you surrounded by rebels all alone, covered in blood, I I can't believe my eyes..."

Ning Xiaobao was still afraid when thinking about the scene that day. The Su Muxue in her memory was such a gentle and indifferent person, but when the pistol in her hand pierced every body, she did not waver for a moment, her eyes were cold And ruthlessly, without flinching at all, like a lone wolf trapped in a herd of beasts.

"My mind was empty at the time, I just wanted to save you, I must save you", "When you passed out in my arms, I was angry and jealous",

Ning Xiaobao laughed softly, "I hate the person who put you in danger, and I'm crazy jealous, the person who made you risk your life to protect",

"Xiaobao", Su Muxue turned her head to look at her, her voice trembling slightly, Ning Xiaobao raised her hand to caress her eyes, "You don't even know how reckless your eyes were at that time, at that moment, I thought , I think I really understand the word love, even if I die in a sea of ​​swords and guns, I will never let my beloved be hurt in the slightest."

Ning Xiaobao choked his throat and said, "I care about you more than her. I will never put you in danger. I would rather die with you by your side than leave you alone." .

"Little Treasure, why are you bothering?" Su Muxue closed her eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks. She was deeply troubled in the past and couldn't see clearly. Now that she thinks about it, in this relationship, everything she has given is against Zhou Chiyu. Her use and deceit are disappointment, pain, and unbearable,

Ning Xiaobao lowered his head and kissed her face, and hugged her into his arms, "Mu Xue, I swear on my life that I will never let you fall into that situation again in this life, you, you wish, wish, give me one……",

Ning Xiaobao stammered and didn't finish, Su Muxue had already cried and fell into her arms, the old relationship was unbearable, every step was full of sadness.

When Ning Zimu opened the curtain and came in, he saw Su Muxue lying on Ning Xiaobao's lap, sleeping with his eyes closed. Ning Xiaobao put his finger on his lips and motioned her to speak softly. Ning Zimu smiled and poked Ning Xiaobao. On Xiaobao's forehead, "Girl, you have some skills",

Ning Xiaobao glared at her, gently wiped away the wet tears on Su Muxue's face, and sighed softly, she shouldn't have brought Su Muxue to Fengzhou, a place that touches people's hearts.

After Gu Qingsheng arrived in Fengzhou, he was warmly received by the people. It was he who called the people to dig water, build shafts, underground canals, and open canals to guide groundwater out and irrigate the farmland, so as to alleviate the famine caused by the drought.

The magistrate of Fengzhou is a young official with an angry face. He came to greet Gu Qingsheng in person and led the inspection, "Thanks to Mr. Gu for benefiting Fengzhou in those years, I dare not slack off in the past few years. Always lead people to repair and improve",

"Song Zhifu speaks seriously. From this point of view, if there is another drought, Fengzhou can handle it," Gu Qingsheng said. Fengzhou is located in a terrain with low rainfall. Fortunately, the newly appointed Song Zhifu has a vision for this water conservancy project. If Short-sighted people are unwilling to spend manpower and material resources. I am afraid that Fengzhou will be destroyed by drought or flood.

While chatting with Song Zhifu, Gu Qingsheng glanced at Su Muxue, fell behind, his eyes were red, and was about to speak, when Ning Xiaobao stepped forward, held her hand, and spoke to her in a low voice, Gu Qingsheng smiled, I met Ning Zimu's eyes, and then said, "Appoint people on their merits, Song Zhifu is the blessing of Fengzhou",

"I have heard for a long time that Mr. Gu is talented and has outstanding conduct. It is better to meet him if he is famous." Song Zhifu said with a polite smile. He had a good chat with Gu Qingsheng, and he was very courteous to the group. He prepared lunch in the private room of the restaurant .

"Song Zhifu is an official and approachable, and understands the sufferings of the people." Duan Ruohua praised, "Thank you Madam." Song Zhifu did not look down on the woman in front of him, but thanked him very politely. Duan Ruohua nodded and stopped talking , Song Zhifu poured wine for Gu Qingsheng with a side face, and said, "Ben

The official is a small magistrate, who can lead the people to resist the drought, but the court is in turmoil, but it is difficult to ensure the peace of the world."

Gu Qingsheng paused his hands, and said calmly, "After the new emperor ascended the throne, the country will be peaceful and healthy, so where is the turmoil?" Song Zhifu drank a glass of wine, his face turned red, he looked around, and Fang sighed,

"Mr. Gu doesn't know something. According to the news from the capital, the emperor has not been to the court for many days. The veteran ministers of the court communicated with Queen Su and the second prince in private. I heard that the second prince and Queen Su were released from prison two days ago. released from the temple,"

Gu Qingsheng's expression remained unchanged, only his eyes were surprised, and when he looked behind Duan, there was also a look of surprise in his eyes. Ning Xiaobao reached out and held the wine glass that was almost touched by Su Muxue, frowning into Sichuan characters,

Song Zhifu sighed heavily, "Mr. Gu is not a member of the imperial court, and he is more open and generous. Song is willing to make friends with his heart, so he dares to say these words. I don't know if the emperor is seriously ill or has been raped. Conspiracy, but now it seems that it is more ominous than good, I am afraid it is... ",

"Master Song is serious?!", Su Muxue blurted out, she spoke quickly and sharply, "This matter is of great importance, did Master Song inquire about the truth?"

Or being overwhelmed by Su Muxue's aura, Song Zhifu panicked and said with a wry smile, "This matter was only a few days ago. I heard from a colleague who visited Beijing. Song dare not vouch for the truth, so please keep silent. Otherwise, this official's black hat will be lost."

"Sir Song has an upright temperament, and I will not make any mistakes." Gu Qingsheng said with a smile, which eased Song Zhifu's heart, but his eyes were solemn.

After sending the prefect Song away, Su Muxue stood up, grabbed the package, and said, "I'm going back to the capital right away." Be careful of fraud, I am afraid you will fall into the trap."

Su Muxue shook her head firmly, "No, I won't gamble with her life", "You are not allowed to go", Ning Xiaobao grabbed her arm with a serious expression, "Xiaobao, let me go", Su Muxue made a gesture Shaking her hand, Ning Xiaobao didn't let go,

"Stop making trouble, what Xiaobao said is reasonable, and this matter should be discussed in the long term," Duan Ruohua said, "If Chi Yu is in danger, we won't just sit idly by." Gu Qingsheng held Ning Xiaobao's hand and signaled she let go

Ning Xiaobao's eyes turned red, he gritted his teeth, glanced at Su Muxue, then let go, turned around and did not speak.
