Immediately after the death of the master

The best grade in the afternoon, the master said that he still needs to work hard, and he couldn't hide the pride and pride on his face. Obviously, he was very satisfied with himself as a teacher.

In the evening, the third prince and Ji Qingshuang, who had been hunting in the woods for a day, came out, and Ji Qingshuang was followed by Ji Sanqing who was worried about his sister making trouble.Judging from the prey of Ji Qingshuang and the third prince, the third prince who ran ahead of schedule still lost against the freak Ji Qingshuang.What's more, Ji Qingshuang was annoyed by the behavior of the third prince who sneaked away ahead of time, which caused the third prince to lose even worse.

After Ji Qingshuang came out, she went straight to her master. She triumphantly threw her prey in front of her master, and ordered him to light a fire to roast the meat.

It wasn't until then that I realized that the reason why the master could not participate in Ji Qingshuang's hunting competition and stayed where he was waiting for me was at the price of agreeing to Ji Qingshuang's request.

The master has to do these dirty jobs because of me, I feel guilty in my heart, I want to go to help the master, but he pushes me aside.

While telling me viciously that one person should do the work and the other should be responsible, he dealt with the prey as if he were killing his father and his enemy. That method made my scalp tingle a little.

Ji Sanqing couldn't understand that Ji Qingshuang was so domineering, so he pulled her ears to instill her three obediences and four virtues. Ji Qingshuang covered her ears and made Ji Sanqing a funny face, obviously not listening to anything.

The third prince looked at Ji Sanqing and Ji Qingshuang's "love each other" on the left, and looked at me who was tremblingly accompanying the master. He felt extremely lonely alone, and couldn't help singing a song.In his own palace, no matter how well he sang, his servants would listen attentively and praise him with a smile, which caused the third prince to not have any self-awareness about his singing.

After the third prince sang a melody narcissistically, Ji Qingshuang, who had her ears plugged, couldn't sit still, and she couldn't care less about being angry with her elder brother. The mother-in-law fought and ran away in a hurry.Ji Sanqing was worried that his sister would really mess up the third prince, so she followed closely behind the third prince and Ji Qingshuang.

When the three of them were chasing each other, the master finally grilled the meat. He wanted me to be his first diner, but I couldn't resist seeing the unknown object that looked like charcoal...

That's when I was happiest, when I realized it.

wake up.

Waking up before dawn, before the morning star sets, before the sun rises.

At the darkest hour.

98,

Except for my master, I didn't tell anyone, including Ji Qingshuang who insisted on entering the city with me.

Contrary to my expectations, the other party made it hard for me not to enter the city. After I revealed my identity as the envoy, the Wancheng side let me in directly.But from this point of view, Wancheng also has the willingness to negotiate peace—at least some people do.

Wancheng is considered a medium-sized city in Yuzhou. According to common sense, the streets in the city should be crowded with people and noisy.However, due to the siege, every house in Wancheng is now closed, and all restaurants and shops are closed. Except for the patrolling soldiers, no one walks on the street, which is no different from a dead city.Under the guidance of the reception staff, I sat on a high horse and walked along the main street in the city to the residence of the prefect of Wancheng. From time to time, there was an indescribable stench coming from the alley. I looked closely, only to find that there were several beggar corpses lying there.The body of the beggar is intact and looks like he should have died of starvation.

It's a good thing, having a whole body means things are not in the worst shape yet, and I still have time to slowly execute my plan before the worst happens.

When we were about to reach the prefect's mansion, suddenly a little beggar rushed out from a dark alley. The officials leading the way thought it was an assassin and wanted to kill him, but I stopped him.

The beggar's footsteps were frivolous, and he definitely didn't look like he had martial arts. From the beggar's staggering steps, it could be seen that this was a child who had been driven to a corner.The child is always sensitive, she could feel the killing intent of the leading officials, so she rushed to my horse, stretched out her skinny hand like an eagle's claw, grabbed the corner of my clothes, and prayed to me in a tone of great desire :

"My lord, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

The superior has been doing it for too long, and has some useless sympathy. Looking at the little guy's big dark eyes, I really want to help her, but I don't give her anything to eat.

"I don't have anything to eat for you, but I can take you to a place with food, how about it, would you like to come with me?"

Ignoring the surprised eyes of the guiding officer, I bent down and carried the stinky little beggar onto the horse.The little girl curled up timidly in my arms, grabbed my skirt, and nodded gently.

I held her in my arms with one hand, and pulled the rein with the other. The expressions of the leading officials changed again and again, and finally brought me to the prefect's mansion.

When I stepped into the prefect's mansion, I was shocked. For a mansion of this size and such exquisite decoration, even if it is a fake official in the capital, it is rare to achieve this level.But the prefect of Wancheng, he is just a small prefect, and he has only been in office for more than ten years, and he is really ashamed of being able to search out so much money.

I can be sure that even for a person like me who made war fortune and scavenged hard-earned money, his seven-year savings would only be half the house.Among the people I know, Xu Yuque, a profiteer, is the only one who can struggle to build this house by his own ability without relying on the old emperor's reward.

Looking at the rockery in this house, the running water in this house, the flowers and trees in this house, I really feel that I underestimated this Wancheng prefect before, and facing such villains, I should have a good discussion with him about corruption The secret of not overturning for so many years.

The leading officials did not take me to see the prefect of Wancheng first, but took me to Ji Sanqing's current residence first, so it can be seen that the current ruler of Wancheng is Ji Sanqing.This is not a good thing. Regarding matters such as surrender, it is easy to talk with a villain, power over money and life, interests first, and clearly mark the price; talking to a gentleman is a headache, family and country righteousness, courtesy, justice, loyalty and filial piety, from the commanding heights of morality Overlooking you, sticking to your own moral bottom line, would rather die than surrender.

Unfortunately, Ji Sanqing is one of the best gentlemen, and "dedicating himself to politics" and "to Jun Yaoshun" are exactly the purpose of his life. From the very beginning, I had no hope of convincing Ji Sanqing , intending to secretly bribe the prefect and directly tie Ji Sanqing up.But now, I looked down at the frightened little beggar in my arms, and I felt that I was [-]% sure.

After all, seeing is believing and hearing is believing.

Ji Sanqing lived in a small building in the bamboo forest, so it was difficult for him to be a prefect. When he built the house, he still thought of leaving such an arty place. With such care, it's no wonder he was able to wear the black hat on his head so firmly. Let people learn.

The small building in the depths of the bamboo building was also made of bamboo. With the creak of the bamboo door opening, the eldest son of the Ji family, whom he had not seen for seven years, finally revealed his true colors.

He sat cross-legged on the cushion, in front of him was a fighting chess game, beside him was the curling smoke from Tingting, he was dressed in a white shirt, and his gestures and gestures were elegant.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he turned around, with a gentle and scholarly air, and a jade-like style.

In the past seven years, we have already faced our own mistakes. Our original desire, original character, and original self have all been torn apart by our own hands.But for the eldest son of the Ji family, time seems to be standing still, he is still the same as when he first saw him, and he is still the same white-clothed gentleman who is not stained with dust.

This is the delusion that I can't bear to blaspheme, this is Ji Sanqing, the son of Ji's patriarch.

The person playing chess with Ji Sanqing is Xiaozhu, and Xiaozhu has also changed a lot, from an indistinguishable boy to a handsome young man, he followed Ji Sanqing's line of sight and saw me, different from Ji Sanqing who was a little confused , He recognized me at a glance who hadn't seen me for many years.

"Li Sanfat?!" Xiaozhu's voice was a little surprised, but then he realized that I am now opposing him, and his expression darkened a lot, "No... it should be Li Nian'en now... "

"Who is Li Sanpang? Li Nian'en again?" There was a black chess piece twisted between white jade-like fingers, Ji Sanqing knocked on the head with the chess piece, but still had no impression.

Xiao Zhu explained to him chatteringly for a long time, and only then did Ji Sanqing dig out some trivial memories from the depths of his mind, and recognized that I was the child sent to Prince Yu's Mansion by his sister.

I agreed with a smile on my face, but my heart was inevitably bitter——

Ji Sanqing really doesn't recognize me anymore.

"I am the envoy of the Ninth Prince, Li Nian'en. I am here to pay my lord the order of my master."

Now, I use my new name to meet you again.

I put down the child in my arms and bowed to Ji Sanqing.Ji Sanqing got up and helped me up, and his eyes fell on the child beside me. The girl's clothes were shabby, her hair was messy, and she exuded an unknown stench, which was incompatible with the current quiet scene.

"Who is this?" Ji Sanqing's tone was a little hesitant.

"The girl I met on the road was very hungry, but I didn't have anything to eat for her, so I boldly brought her to your place to eat and drink." I patted the little beggar's back with my hand, exerting force secretly , and send her to Ji Sanqing.

Unbearable flashed in Ji Sanqing's eyes, he bent down, took the little girl's hand, brought her to the chessboard, and brought her a plate of refreshments.The little girl was really hungry, her eyes were so bright when she saw the food, she ignored it, grabbed the tea and stuffed it into her mouth, the little girl
