Qinghe walked fast, almost jogging in, so now Erbai saw what was going on inside the room.She touched the only teacup left on the table. Luckily it didn't roll to the ground and shattered into pieces. She picked it up and rubbed it in her hand before throwing it without any precautions.

Snapped--

A cup was caught off guard and brushed past Zhang Hai's fat face, bringing a trace of scorching heat from high-speed friction, and shattered into pieces on the wall.After Zhang Hai came to his senses, his legs and feet went limp, and he propped himself up on the edge of the door so he didn't sit down and fell to the ground.

I heard that General Mu's temper is unpredictable, it seems that the rumors are true.

A large drop of sweat fell on Zhang Hai's hands, making the already sweaty hands even more wet.

"Did you find the thing?" Erbai sat on the chair, slightly lowered his head to look at him.

The latter's back felt cold when he was watched, and he crawled to her feet on his knees, begging for mercy: "General, I blame my unfilial son. It turned out that he hid the things and lied to me that Miss Xu hid them privately. I'm in a hurry..." Before he finished speaking, he knocked his head on the ground, begging his father to tell his grandma, he looked very pitiful.

But Erbai was indifferent, she just looked at Qinghe.Maybe it was annoying to hear, Qinghe wiped her face, walked to the room, she began to tidy up slowly, trying to restore the place to its original state.

"Your son..." Erbai spoke slowly, as if thinking about something, "The one called Zhang Peng?"

"My unpromising second son, his temper changed a lot a few years ago. He wouldn't have done such a shameful thing in the first place. It's all because my father didn't teach him well. General, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Erbai snorted coldly, such a man is actually a loving father?Do you still know how to speak for your son when you can't protect yourself?Rare, really rare.

She suddenly noticed a special word, a few years ago?After these three words rolled in her mouth, she remembered what the two siblings had mentioned, and felt a little unhappy.What they all knew, but kept from her?The scar on Qingqing's face, the kid's uneasiness, she needs to know what happened.

"A few years ago...what happened?" She lowered her head and spoke in a low voice. At the same time, she glanced into the room a few times, trying not to be heard by Qing He.She knew that this was a wound in Qingqing's heart, and she didn't want her to think about it again.

But she had to figure it out!

"Just, that's..." Zhang Hai couldn't help but swallowed, and unconsciously lowered his voice as if he was affected, "My youngest son is unbelievable and greedy for beauty. A few years ago, he fell in love with Miss Xu and often went to She ate in the noodle shop, but Xu girl didn't like him, but he paid more attention to him, and then, and once..." He stammered more and more, and his eyes flicked around.

"Say it! Once what?"

Zhang Hai wiped his forehead, "One time, Lu Xunxin actually tricked Miss Xu back to the house...and then planned to use force, but it's a pity...Miss Xu accidentally kicked the wrong one in defense. Feet..." He spoke intermittently, and couldn't go on anymore, Erbai had already understood it, and there was no need to stop.

Originally, Erbai's hands were placed on the table, but halfway through the hearing, the corner of the table was already deeply dented, full of Erbai's fingerprints.Zhang Hai kept staring at him until he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He closed his eyes when he saw Erbai raising his hand, thinking that the other party was still beating him. Looking at the place where the calluses grew on his fingers, as if seeing something interesting.

"What happened a few years ago..." Erbai sighed and said a few words, and was about to stand up, but Zhang Hai shrank in fright, sat back with his buttocks, and his eyes were wide open. It's funny, "I won't eat you, I heard someone is waiting at the magistrate's yamen?"

"Fu Dongqing, Mr. Fu and Mr. Chen."

When Erbai heard this, he felt strange, who on earth was this old man who could be compared with Fu Dongqing.Now I made up my mind and went to the house to look for Qinghe.

"Qingqing, why don't we go out to eat if we don't have anything at home?" Seeing that Qinghe was still picking up the quilt thrown on the ground and shaking, Erbai took a few steps forward and said, "I heard that Mr. Chen also Wait there, won't you go?"

Qinghe paused for a while, and then spoke after a long time, but her voice was a little hoarse: "Go."

Then the few of them rolled up their sleeves and quickly cleaned the house a little, and then returned to the place where the magistrate's yamen was located on the East Street.

Before the chariots and horses arrived at the Yamen, someone with sharp eyes spotted it and rushed back to report it.

"Master Fu, Master Fu, Master Zhang and the others are back!"

Fu Dongqing, who was pacing up and down the room with her hands behind her back, looked happy when she heard this.

"Where have you been?"

"We're here, Mr. Fu, live up to what you entrust, and live up to what you entrust." Zhang Hai bowed his waist and clasped his fists to signal, behind him Erbai walked in holding Qing He's hand. There is obvious resistance to this.

"Sister, can't we go back?" Qingyang tugged at the corner of Qinghe's clothes.

Qinghe rubbed his younger brother's head casually, and smiled helplessly at him, "No, I have to come, and have a meal by the way, is Yang Yang hungry?"

Qingyang nodded embarrassingly as he touched his stomach.

Since they got up in the morning, the three of them hadn't eaten anything, and they were all hungry.

"Girl Qing, I've seen you guys." It was Mr. Chen who walked out from the inner hall. He saw Qinghe at first sight, but Erbai took his sight away the second he saw him.Not seeing each other for a short time, Erbai no longer acted obediently and foolishly like last time, but became much more stable, her eyes were sharp, and the people she stared at felt like they were on their backs.Old Chen was satisfied, and nodded. This time, he looks much more presentable, at least he has some of his mother's charm. Even if he held the jade tiger in front of him like before, he wouldn't believe it at all.

"Mr. Chen, are you okay?" Qinghe thought that the other party was implicated because of their affairs, so he gave them both hands, and hurried forward to see if the other party was okay.

Mr. Chen waved his hand, "I'm fine, but now I think it's the magistrate who is not good."

"What did Mr. Chen say, I'm fine too." Zhang Hai snarled.

"Where's your good son?"

When Zhang Hai heard this, his heart skipped a beat. He was in a panic last night, and he didn't know if he had asked someone to remind him, "I'll ask someone to ask."

"No need, I have nothing to do today. Master Fu and I have already searched here, and there is no one. I said Master Zhang, it is impossible for a living person to disappear out of thin air." Like a thorn.

Seeing Zhang Hai stepping back, Erbai stretched out his legs to block the escape route. Zhang Hai raised his hand to beg for forgiveness after bumping into him: "I don't know, it seems that I sent someone to notify me this morning, how about I go and have a look?"

"No need, I have sent someone to block the gate with a token, and I have sent someone to inform the people above. It will take a few days for the people who came to pick up General Mu to return." Old Chen Youzai Sitting leisurely on the seat, a maid next to him handed him a cup of brewed tea, the temperature was just right, and he took a small sip.

Just at this quiet time when no one was talking, someone ran in quickly and whispered a few words in Fu Dongqing's ear.As soon as he finished speaking, he waved the other party back.

He coughed, and seeing that everyone was paying attention, he said, "We have captured Zhang Peng. He is hiding in that Li Er's house. I have sent someone to bring him here."

"Let go of me, do you know who I am? My father is the biggest official in Kaiyang City, do you know the magistrate! Damn it, you let me go, it hurts to death..." A man screamed from a distance. The soft and feminine voice yelled loudly, and he didn't think his throat was too tired. The ears of the people in the room were tired of hearing it. As soon as they entered the room, they saw Zhang Hai's eyes lit up, but just as "Dad" said it, It's like being choked by someone, so I can't speak the next word.

"Unworthy son..." Zhang Hai forced three words out of his throat, swallowed the rest of the words, and knelt on the ground with a crying face. This time, it was neither Old Chen nor Fu Dongqing who begged. who to ask.So he crawled up to Qing He and kowtowed, "Miss Xu, Zhang Peng, that wicked son, has been punished for what he did back then. He will have no heirs to inherit the incense for him in his life. Please let him go." He, after this incident, I will lock him up and teach him a good lesson."

In fact, Zhang Peng was the son of Zhang Haizheng's wife, and the eldest son was born to a concubine. His wife passed away after Zhang Peng was born, so he carried the concubine's room to fill in the house, so he also pampered this son a little, so he let him Do things lawlessly, regardless of the consequences.

Without his wife, he would not be able to be the prefect.

"One has to learn to be responsible for what he does." Erbai stretched out her hand to pull the hair on Qinghe's cheek, revealing a faint pink scar. She couldn't help but reach out and touch it. He flinched.As she answered, she put down her hands in a concealed manner.

"Okay, let's go eat together, kid, are you hungry?" The first time Erbai took Qingyang's hand, and then Qingyang took Qinghe's hand and walked inside, Erbai's nose moved, his face There was a smile on the face, "It smells so good, what are you doing inside?"

"Just make something, come and eat."

When the dishes were ready, Mr. Chen greeted them with chopsticks in his hand.

Drunken chrysanthemum crabs, river prawns in typhoon shelters, sweet and sour mandarin fish, steamed pork slices, vinegar potato shreds, dry steamed pork ribs and glutinous rice, and served with eight-treasure lotus root soup that quenches thirst. The water was dripping, not to mention it was three people who hadn't had brunch.

"Do whatever you want?" Er Baishou stretched out, found a fat and oily crab, and started to eat impatiently. Her hand collided with Qingyang's hand holding the mandarin fish, her eyes narrowed, and it was the first time. She took the initiative to move her hand away, "Eat so fast and be careful not to choke." As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyang was so frightened that he swallowed a fishbone that was about to be spit out.

"Cough cough cough-"

Qingyang blushed from choking, Qinghe hurriedly moved his back, Erbai froze his hands with a blank face, "What did I do wrong?"

"No, he just didn't get used to it for a while." Chen Lao smiled and gnawed on the ribs while answering Erbai's unconscious murmur, "Eat well, be careful not to be robbed."

Zhang Hai held a big bowl and stuffed it into his mouth, and emptied half of the dishes in front of him with a jaw-dropping speed.

"Hey Fatty, you give me almost some, Qingqing and I haven't eaten a few mouthfuls yet!"

Zhang Hai took his face out of the bowl, and with a sleepy misty look, he forgot to take a look at Erbai and continued eating with a "huh".

After a group of people are full of wine and food, they have the energy to start thinking about other things.

for example.

"Old man, the craftsmanship is very good."

"Where is it, he is just a cook."

The cook will make the magistrates respectful?

"Tell me." Erbai turned to Zhang Hai, and the latter broke out in cold sweat. Neither of them could be offended. He smiled obsequiously, "Old Chen said yes, and he said no, then he didn't."

As the atmosphere was deadlocked, it was Fu Dongqing who broke the silence. He apologized to the silent Qinghe, "It's all because of my stubbornness. I stole the jade tiger, so Miss Xu and General Mu fled overnight. I got angry with those gangsters, and I have already taught them a lesson."

"No, Mr. Zhang is a very nice person, and he didn't treat the three of us harshly." Qinghe pulled up his younger brother Qingyang, thanked him and was about to leave, Fu Dongqing became anxious when he heard that, the implication was that they treat others Not a week?This is not acceptable.

He immediately got up and wanted to give a full salute, but Qing He hid and refused to accept the salute.

"We are just ordinary people, and we can't bear the courtesy of adults. The little girl just wants to live an ordinary life. It's just because I didn't see Mount Tai for a day, and accidentally injured the general by accident. This happened today. It's all wrong. I, I hope you adults don't blame me." After Qinghe finished speaking lightly, he blessed his body and saluted, but Fu Dongqing couldn't avoid it, and was actually a little dazed.

Erbai became anxious after hearing this, and she wondered why Qingqing was very cold from the beginning of the car. She thought it was because she was not feeling well and didn't sleep well, but now it seems that it is not at all, but because of her status. Grievous!

"Qingqing, I'll go back with you, don't leave me alone..."

Erbai stretched out his hand to hug Qinghe, but was dodged by the other party.

Qingyang tugged at Qinghe's sleeve, and seeing Erbai's red eyes as if he was about to cry, he also felt strangely uncomfortable, as if the fault was on his sister, so he couldn't help but plead for her.

"Sister, don't be angry with Erbai, you know she is stupid and stupid, let's go back and punish her for carrying the thorns and pleading guilty." Qingyang still remembered the last time Erbai didn't know what he did to make his sister angry. After eating the vitex, I lost all anger, and wanted to repeat the old trick, so I shook my head again and again and nodded approvingly.

Qing He murmured something in a low voice, Qing Yang was just distracted, he couldn't hear clearly, just about to ask a question, he heard Qing He say: "No need, how dare you bother Mr. General, there are still mundane things to be done at home, let's go ahead." Pull Qingyang hard and walk out.

"Qingqing—"

Erbai stretched out his right hand unconsciously, and was about to chase him out, but was surrounded by Zhang Hai and others.

"Sister, what's the matter with you?" Qingyang was pulled out vigorously, his wrist felt a little painful, he wanted to ask Qinghe to let go, but he felt the hot liquid on his hand as if it was going to scald him.

sister crying?

He thought of Erbai's red eyes and the hot liquid on his hands just now, and he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. He didn't understand what happened, so he could only stay silent, obediently followed Qing He's pace without speaking.

On the second day, and even the third day, as if deliberately avoiding something, Qinghe went to the market to buy things early in the morning, and it took a whole morning to buy things, but when she came back, she didn't carry much in her hand. I bought it and forgot to take it back, looking devastated.After lunch, I went back to Xuji Noodle Shop, but there were many customers waiting there, but Qing He, who was usually very efficient, didn't bring out a few servings of noodles, so he had to close early again. Bai did not see it.

On the fourth day, there were a lot fewer people on the street, and there were only a few sparse people. Qing He, who was about to go to the store, stopped a big brother and asked, "What happened today?"

The man wondered: "Sister, don't you know that yesterday a team of officers and soldiers came in from the north gate, and they were dressed so brightly, unlike the garrison in our city? No, how long has it been? Today Just block the area of ​​the magistrate on the East Street, we have to hide at home, so as not to cause trouble, guess what the magistrate did is known by the higher-ups, retribution..." After finishing speaking, he shook his head and walked away, saying as he walked Qinghe even forgot to say thank you for "karma".

"It came so fast."

"Sister, what did you say?"

Qinghe forced a smile, "It's nothing, what would Yangyang want to eat today? My sister will make it for you."

"Sister, don't go to the store, take a good rest, your complexion is not very good, why don't we go to see the doctor?" Qingyang seemed to remember the advice given to him by the doctor, but he forgot the specifics, just I remember that I didn't seem to care about it at the time.

"It's okay, your sister and I are fine."

·

"General, my subordinates are late, please forgive me, General."

Chen Kaiyang was wearing armor, holding the scabbard with one hand, and put the other on his knee, kneeling on the ground with one knee, the general's voice was so loud that it was so loud that it echoed in the magistrate's yamen.The gate of the yamen, which had been open all year round, could not be closed today. Er Bai sat where Zhang Hai used to sit, with a heavy expression on his face, obviously not thinking about it.

As usual, the general would let him get up as soon as he knelt down, but today he didn't hear a sound for a long time. Chen Kaiyang couldn't help but look up, but saw that the originally cold and serious general's face was full of worry and softness from his daughter's family. , I was shocked in my heart.

What's going on here?It's clearly the general's face, but what's going on?

"General?"

Erbai's thoughts were interrupted, he waved his hand and said impatiently: "Get up, get up, I'm not your general, you have misunderstood me, my home is in South Street, my surname is Xu, and my name is Bai." After he got up, he was about to go outside Let's go, upon hearing this, Chen Kaiyang immediately knelt down again, this time almost on both knees, with his forehead touching the ground.

"General, have you forgotten that our 20 armored soldiers are waiting for you at Tangguan? You disappeared half a year ago, and there was no news of you. We cede land and pay compensation, so we admit defeat! General, have you forgotten that you once made an alliance with us?!"

Chen Kaiyang's voice was as high as weeping blood, and the onlookers who said it seemed to have seen the scene of several generals cutting blood and drinking, as if they felt the contempt of those people, and the humiliation made them feel hot all over.

Erbai paused, as if thinking of something, she turned her back to everyone, no one saw the struggle on her face, biting her lower lip so hard that it was about to bleed, she pushed open the door of the yamen cruelly.

creak.

The air outside the door was cold, and the bustling street was lined with soldiers in full armor. Everyone was as tall and straight as a pine, exuding the iron-blooded spirit of having been on the battlefield and killing the enemy.

As soon as they saw Erbai stepping out, they all nodded their heads one after another, their movements were uniform, and the sounds followed Erbai's passage one after another.

Great Wei is lucky to have this armored soldier.

When thinking of this in his heart, Erbai was not surprised at all.This idea came about so naturally that she couldn't resist it at all, as if it was lurking in a certain corner of her mind.

"General, are you willing to let go of these 20 iron cavalry that you have worked so hard to raise?"

"General, can you endure being trampled on by the Great Wei Mountains and Rivers?"

Chen Kaiyang's life has been difficult for the past six months, the emperor sent a general from the capital to take over, but the Huwei Jiajun refused to listen to their deployment at all.The main reason is that the generals refused to obey the discipline and only recognized Mu Gui as a general. As a result, Lieutenant General Chen Kaiyang was scolded by people on both sides, and he was anxious every day.

At that time, he regretted it to death. If he knew this, he would never let the general go to investigate the enemy's situation by himself.No matter how strong her kung fu is, there will always be things that two fists are no match for four hands.

"I... No, I'm not your general." She finished speaking with great difficulty, and was about to move forward. Chen Kaiyang wanted to move forward, but was stopped by someone.

"Don't chase, she is determined to go back and have a look, you can't stop it, even if you fight hard."

When Chen Kaiyang turned his head, he saw that Old Chen's expression softened a lot, "Eunuch Chen, I didn't expect to see you here. You have retired since the last four years ago."

"The emperor is gone, so of course I have to go with my old bone. Would it be a hindrance to the new emperor if I keep it?" Old Chen smiled slowly, with his hands behind his back, and walked towards his small alley.

"Old Chen, do you live in such a place? It's too shabby."

"What's so shabby about this? Before I entered the palace, I couldn't eat enough, and I had to work outside in the cold weather. My life now is much better than before." Old Chen pushed open the door, "Compared to your marching days, my little days are so beautiful."

"Mr. Chen, why didn't you send someone to notify us when you saw the general?" Chen Kaiyang asked, with a hint of reproach in his tone, "If you had notified us earlier, the city would not have fallen into the hands of Chi Na thief! "

"I left Beijing four years ago. General Mu was stationed in the army six years ago. I am old and my memory is bad. I can't be sure. How about letting you go for nothing?" Chen Lao said, but his hands were flick.

He couldn't help but think of the shock when they met for the first time, the strange emotion on the familiar face.When Mu Gui was young, he always liked to act like a baby to him, but when he grew up, he would always be dressed in armor, dressed as a man with a sword, and could no longer laugh, and his daughter's attitude was even more distant.

"Mr. Chen, you are getting old. It seems that this place is really suitable for you. Let me take my leave first."

After clasping his fists, Chen Kaiyang left in a hurry, leaving a room full of sighs.

"In such a big country, if we only rely on women to fight, how can we talk about a strong country..."

·

Erbai stood at the door, with her left hand stretched out in the air, wanting to knock on the door but refusing to let it go for a long time. She had maintained this posture for a long time, and Chen Kaiyang, who was standing at the corner, really wanted to go forward and kick the door open for her. Door.

The night he arrived in Kaiyang City, when he asked why the general refused to return to the camp for a long time, everyone was silent, so he wanted to find the answer himself.He followed him from a distance. In fact, according to the vigilance of the generals in the past, he would have found out, but she didn't know what she was thinking all the way, her whole body was depressed, and her vigilance was extremely low.The general must be seriously injured!

knock knock knock.

Erbai finally knocked on the door.

After a long time, no one came to drive, she seemed a little anxious, she retracted her hand and struggled in place.

Does Qingqing hate me?Why don't you come and open the door?What if she never sees me again?

As soon as Erbai thought of such a possibility, she became extremely flustered. When she was about to raise her hand to knock on the door again, she heard footsteps, footsteps from inside to outside.

The footsteps were light and slow, and she had a disappointed expression on her face when she heard it.

This is Qingyang, Qingqing always walks neatly.

"Erbai?" As soon as the door opened, Qingyang stared wide-eyed, "Come in, sister has gone to the store and will be back soon."

Erbai stopped walking as soon as he heard this, and wanted to go out, but was stopped by someone.

"Don't go, my sister has been late to go out recently and come back early, she will close the door and come back soon."

"Why?" Erbai was puzzled, Qingqing is a diligent person, she should leave early and return late.

"She seems to be restless recently, and she can't sleep well. She gets up to buy things every day, but she often doesn't bring them back. You can persuade her quickly. I don't know what's wrong with her, she's so anxious."

Qingyang tugged on Erbai's sleeves, his eyes were red with tears rolling in his eyes.It is said that a man does not cry lightly. After staying at home for so long, she has known Qingyang, a child who always pretends to be mature, for half a year. She has never seen him cry a few times.

"I, I'll wait, don't cry." Erbai stretched out her hand a little clumsily to wipe the corners of Qingyang's eyes, she clearly wanted to be gentle, but she wiped the corners of Qingyang's eyes red, "Let's go in and wait. "

"Okay." Qingyang smiled through tears.

Chen Kaiyang staggered and almost fell because he kicked a bump on the road. Fortunately, he stretched out his hand quickly to support the wall and stood firm, but his eyes were still wide open, and his mouth was still closed because of surprise.

This is their unsmiling general?

No, no, he doesn't believe it, it must be his eyesight.Wait for him to get closer and listen again.

But he had just walked a few steps when he suddenly saw someone walking into the gate from another direction.

woman.

A woman with a delicate face.
