"The trouble now is not just the wolf teeth. Have you looked carefully at the finger wrench that your ancestors gave you?"

Yinqi rubbed his forehead and gave a wry smile, only to feel that the current situation was completely messed up: "I thought it was strange at that time, the old ancestor didn't dabble in riding and shooting, so why did he give a finger puller for no reason?" ? If it’s just such a coincidence, I’m afraid that now you theoretically—in fact, have the capital to command all the bullies of Zhengbaiqi…”

Tanlang's complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly touched the wrench out.He had only thought it was an ordinary reward before, and had never studied it carefully, but now he took a closer look with the light and found that there was a lifelike wolf head carved on it: "Master, this——"

"This... It's not a big deal. Don't be in a hurry, let's think about it later."

It was extremely difficult to say this mantra for the first time, Yin Qi comforted him without confidence, and leaned against him to study these two things carefully.Seeing him, Greedy Wolf subconsciously supported himself with his right hand, ignoring his own troubles, he hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, and whispered worriedly: "Master, hand, be careful with your hand... "

"It's okay, it hasn't hurt much these two days." Yin Qi shook his head, simply let go of his strength and leaned on his shoulder, playing with the finger wrench thoughtfully: "Tanlang, can you return the pain?" Remember - when the ancestors rewarded you, they kept saying that they looked familiar to you? Now, judging from the situation, you are probably [-]% inseparable from the Su family, and Mr. Cao and the others are not special when they see you. If I think about it, I have to go up to at least two generations, that is Sukshaha's generation... But I still can't figure it out, if the old ancestors look at you, they feel familiar, but Huang Ama doesn't. Is it?"

As soon as his words came out, Tanlang's breathing became slightly stagnant, and his complexion turned pale.Yinqi smiled lightly again, and patted the back of his hand comfortingly: "If Huang Ama knew about it a long time ago, it might not be a bad thing—you have always been by my side, Huang Ama never said anything more, when we were chatting before, he even told me about his guilt towards the Su family..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly held Tanlang's wrist and sat up, raised his head slightly to look at him, pursed his lips, and said in a serious and slow voice: "I want to trust Huang Ama once...Tanlang, you Would you like to take a gamble with me? If you win, you won’t have to be a guard who can’t even have a name, and you can even get back the things that should belong to you. If you lose, I’ll ask you Let's go out of Beijing, let's hand over everything, and follow Master to enjoy the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, and I can keep you safe..."

"Master, you actually don't have to worry so much..."

Tanlang listened quietly for a while, and suddenly interrupted him with a warm voice.In just this moment, his expression has returned to his usual calm, even with a faint determination, and the confusion and fragility in his eyes have all dissipated, leaving only a frank and clean sincerity: "I am The secret guard of the master has been for this whole life. Tanlang, this life, belongs to the master completely - if he can follow and protect the master for the rest of his life, it is naturally a blessing for Tanlang, but if the fate is not Now, the master must not ruin his own future for the sake of a secret guard."

"I'm not willful, listen to me—"

Yinqi pursed his lips helplessly, and was about to roll up his sleeves and tell him about his dream of Red Mansions filming, but Tanlang smiled and raised his hand to caress his forehead, rubbing it jerky and tentatively. Rubbing, he embraced his little master who always worried too much and said in a gentle voice: "Master, you can do whatever you want, and Tanlang will always follow you... Since you believe in the emperor, Tanlang will too. Besides—" ——If it really comes to the time when there is no way to retreat, I can still run. At that time, I will go to my master and become a bandit. Wouldn't it be a pleasure to travel with the master again?"

"..." Yinqi choked back his words, opened his mouth and blinked his eyes, and finally surrendered helplessly: "Tanlang, you are from the rivers and lakes, this idea is really - really, very bad ah……"

"This is going to be serious. Master hasn't seen how master scares Mr. Cao." Tanlang couldn't help but chuckled, helped him fall on the mattress without any explanation, packed the things on the bed, and moved After walking through the row of Mrs. Tang, she stuffed him into the warm quilt: "This matter is not urgent, it is late at night, master, please rest quickly, don't tire yourself out anymore. ——This time the bedding is absolutely warm enough, the master can rest assured to sleep, and it will definitely not wake up from the cold at night."

Before Yin Qi could react, he was wrapped tightly by him, poking his head out from under the quilt and blinking blankly, but he looked smaller than usual.Greedy Wolf's eyes warmed up, he lowered his head slightly and smiled shallowly, but he also slipped to the side and lay down, gently wrapping him around him through the quilt: "Master, let Greedy Wolf go overboard again. accommodation..."

"What kind of presumptuousness is this? It must be so presumptuous."

Yin Qi threw off the quilt, wrapped him in it together, grabbed him tightly, and raised his chin triumphantly at him: "Don't think that you can do it with your little thoughts." I can't hide it from me—where did you keep the things? Confiscated, the wolf teeth and the finger pulls are confiscated, and I will return them to you when something happens. I said I will take care of this matter, so you don't make trouble for me. What do you think? It’s all clearly written in my eyes, and I’m still talking nonsense about falling into trouble, I really think it’s coaxing children..."

Tanlang stared at him blankly, his breathing was a little short, but suddenly he twisted his body hastily, and closed his eyes tightly as if to cover up.Yinqi gently hugged his trembling body, raised his hand and slowly patted his back, slowed down his voice and said patiently: "Don't think about getting rid of me and looking for Huang Ama by yourself." .Some things are useful for me to say, but when you say it, the meaning will change... Tanlang, I know that you are doing it for my own good and don't want to involve me, but have you ever thought about my feelings? You He promised to stay with me all the time. I have never really believed in other people's oaths. Don't leave me suddenly when I finally believe it——you see, if You're not here, I can't even sleep well..."

After rambling on for a while, I didn't see any reaction from my stubborn guard, but I couldn't help but feel that it was too hypocritical for me to babble.Yinqi sighed resentfully, feeling tiredness could not stop rising, covered his head and buried himself in the quilt, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep regardless.

It wasn't until he heard the sound of breathing beside him gradually become even, that Tanlang finally opened his eyes quietly, and moved lightly to arrange the quilt carefully.Quietly looking at his little master who was sleeping soundly, he held his breath for a long while, and finally lowered his eyes helplessly and smiled slightly.

My own thoughts - if it is true, I can't hide it at all...

Forget it, the night is long, if I think about it like this, I'm afraid I really have no idea.Shaking his head and shaking off those thoughts in his heart, Tanlang tentatively moved closer, and gently embraced the boy who fell asleep and unconsciously rolled himself into a ball. In his arms, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly closed his eyes.

Every day now is almost a day of earning - what is there for him to be dissatisfied with?

-

Dragon boats are different from ordinary small boats. Even if the boat sails smoothly, it takes more than double the time for the same distance.It's useless to worry about it. Early the next morning, Yin Qi, who forcibly confiscated the wolf's teeth and fingers, wanted to take Tanlang to the mysterious Xie's house to find out what happened, but before he could go out, he took it away. To the governors of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces greeting cards.

Now the governor of Jiangsu's office is still in Jiangning, so it is very convenient to go back and forth, but it is not so easy for the governor of Anhui to come here.Yinzhen looked suspiciously at the two exquisite invitations, and couldn't help but frowned slightly: "The governor is already an important minister of the province, and as two of my brothers, it's not enough to ask them to come see...but If you come to see Huang Ama, how can you and I agree?"

"Fourth brother, don't worry, they didn't come to see Huang Ama, they came to see the lord."

Yin Qi responded with a smile, threw the official seal of the deputy general in charge twice in his hand, and then smiled lightly at Cao Yin, who was still looking up and down, wishing to stand in a military posture: "Lord Cao , let them come in—thinking about forcing Jiangnan to open the city gate to accept refugees these days, the faces of the two governors will not be too good, right?"

——That is of course very bad!That's all for Mr. Tang, that Mr. Tong almost wants to bite someone!Cao Yin shouted a few words silently in his heart, but suddenly felt a chill behind his back, and tremblingly glanced at the gloomy and cold eyes of the fourth elder brother next to him, and said loudly with tears in his eyes: "Return to elder brother's words, The two governors care about the people and are not dissatisfied!"

"..." Suddenly, as if he felt that he was reviewing the guard of honor, Yin Qi rubbed his ears in a daze, and helplessly tugged at the sleeve of his fourth brother: "Fourth brother, there are so many people here, Mr. Cao It's nothing, don't scare him..."

...? ?

Cao Yin almost jumped up in grief and indignation, what can he do if there are fewer people? !He still doesn't understand why he left such an unbearable impression on the fourth elder brother. He originally hoped that his father could help him to say a few words, but now he is obviously defeated by the fourth elder brother Brother lowered his head in a natural cold, and for a moment he only felt that the future was gloomy.Have the courage to make a little treasonable thought - if the fourth brother becomes powerful in the future, I'm afraid he will be able to do it completely as an official...

"Although the action can be stopped, the heart is unpredictable!" Yinzhen replied in a cold voice, but finally turned his head away and ignored him.Yin Qi hurriedly took the opportunity to give him a quick wink, then coughed lightly at Li Xu at the other end and said: "Master Li, my brother's status is not suitable for going out alone, so please invite Master Li Accompany Mr. Cao to welcome the two governors—fourth brother, we will deal with each other in a while, and I will meet Mr. Tang, and I will leave Tong Guozuo to you..."

In the Kangxi Dynasty, Mingzhu's mind was gloomy and he made frequent moves, Suo'etu acted arrogantly and arrogantly, Zhang's family was cautious and loyal from generation to generation, and the Cao family's affairs were meticulous.Some well-known families and high-ranking ministers can tell a few things about their characteristics, but it is the Tong family that Yinqi can't understand the most——Tong Guogang is a real military general, he is brave and takes the lead in battle, and his temperament is also rigid, honest and loyal. .When it was the turn of the second child, Tong Guowei, he completely changed his style of painting, thoughtful and tactful, and climbed to the position of chief assistant step by step after Mingzhu Suo'etu died together.If it is said that there is a powerful master in the family of honest people, but this powerful second child is about to be reported by his own son Longkodo as old and incompetent, and Longkodo arrives In his later years, his own son Yue Xing'a actually read a book.Seeing that the families next to them were all framed by other people's jealousy, only their family was beaten up in their own nests, and it's really no wonder that the Queen's behavior was so weird. If you think about it, it's inevitable that it will be inherited...

Out of inexplicable awe of the Tong family, Yinqi resolutely decided not to test the temper of this little Master Tong, and planned to meet Tang Bin, the teacher of the future prince.Yinzhen had exactly this plan, nodded and got up, and then took a special look at Cao Yin who was about to sneak out, and said lightly: "Master Cao, accompany me to welcome Master Tong, and ask Master Li to accompany you." That's the fifth brother."

"Follow my elder brother's orders." Cao Yin had lost his temper for a long time, and turned around in despair, followed the fourth elder brother and floated out of the room, leaving Yin Qi in the room with a dumbfounded smile: "Yes, I It is estimated that Mr. Cao will not want to see us two brothers again in this life..."

"When you grow up a few more years, Brother Xingsi won't be so nervous." Li Xu responded with a light smile, and then sighed sincerely: "Although this misunderstanding is a bit ridiculous , but the fourth elder brother's concern for the master really cannot be faked..."

Yin Qi smiled lightly, and didn't respond, but was supported by Tan Lang, and walked outside slowly.Li Xu quickly walked to the front and opened the door for him, and then led him to the small study on the west side to meet Tang Bin, the governor of Jiangsu: "My lord, there are no outsiders here, so I dare to say a few more words. Master Tang is a A good official who loves the people like a son, never sticks to dogma in doing things. This time, he was able to do the work-for-relief thing, but it was thanks to Mr. Tang's help-it was Mr. Tong, who was said to be in charge of Anhui He is economical, and he is quite a bit...a bit out of tune, but he just eats, drinks, and enjoys himself all day long. The good Jiangnan Province is divided into two, and the half that is in his hands has no political achievements for several years... ..."

"Incompetent, inaction, but also not very bad-hearted - it's just right for you to ask the fourth brother to frighten him."

Yin Qi chuckled, and finally felt a little relieved.This kind of incompetent idiot officials is actually the best to deal with, just because they have no skills, they have no ambitions, and dare not do those shady private things-it seems that the one who made the shocking crying temple case before Zhu Guozhi still sounded the alarm to Huang Ama.The land in the south of the Yangtze River is no different than other places. If there are no suitable capable officials, it is better to call down a worthless Beijing official for no merit, than to call down that ambitious wolf cub, who will bite down hard when he sees the opportunity. A piece of meat comes well.

When I met Tang Bin, it was not much different from Yinqi's imagined appearance of a well-educated Confucian.This is an old Jinshi from the Shunzhi period. Although he is over [-] years old, his eyes are still hale and radiant, and he does not show any contempt for the half-grown baby in front of him. various matters.Since leaving Beijing, Yinqi has not met such a capable official for a long time. For the first time, he felt that he could be so relaxed and happy when explaining things. Suddenly, he felt a little bit of resentment for seeing each other late. meaning.The old and the young talked for most of the day, until the subordinates cautiously came to ask if they had dinner, and then they realized that it was this time.

"The fifth elder brother is gifted and talented, which is really the blessing of the Holy One and the blessing of the whole country."

Looking at the half-grown boy in front of him, Tang Bin sighed sincerely, but suddenly took a step back and bowed deeply in salute.Yinqi hurriedly dodged sideways, then quickly stepped forward to hold his hands, and said in a warm voice with a smile: "Yinqi is a fool, it is really the result of Huang Ama's teaching-as a governor, he cares about the people and does good. I am the blessing of the Qing Dynasty."

On the surface, he responded calmly and calmly, but the fifth elder brother who was suddenly recognized as a talent was very depressed in his heart, and once again broke into a cold sweat silently in his heart.

——Being praised for being smart by a person who will be a teacher for the prince in the future is simply the level of hatred that ten "children from other people's families" attract.With his second brother's awkward and petty temper, this is almost a proposition...
