After being mistaken for a fellow by Long Aotian

The sound of movement downstairs is still going on, even in the corridor there are many sounds of people looking for and packing things, the sounds of chaotic footsteps, voices of conductors, and chaotic searches resounded through the whole brothel for a while. .

"Master," the man in black listened to the movement outside the door in fear, "there are so many people outside, Emperor Jingguo...it seems like we can't do anything better today!"

"Don't panic." The young man in purple got up, even in this situation, he still maintained Shi Shiran's composure, "If Emperor Jingguo really wanted to come and arrest us, he would have come to arrest us long ago."

The man in black: "Master, what do you mean?"

"To make such a big commotion, it's either to scare the snake, but Emperor Jingguo can find my trace at a glance in the entire city that never sleeps, so he must not be such a careless person. Now he is making all these noises, just to let me I'm here to find him—or—" The purple-clothed youth flashed interest and vigilance in his eyes, "Let me know that he is looking for me..."

"But why did he..."

"Knock knock."

At the paper door, there was the sound of someone knocking on the door.

The man in black glanced at the young man in purple, and the young man in purple nodded his chin to him, signaling him to hide under the bed and keep silent.After the man in black hid, the young man in purple straightened his collar and walked towards the paper door with a smile.

The paper door was pulled open by the young man in purple, and what appeared in front of him was a man with the appearance of an officer and a shopkeeper standing beside him.The young man in purple tried his best to look like he didn't care, and said sleepily to the two of them, "What's the matter?"

"I'm here to refund your accommodation fee." The shopkeeper handed a bag of silver to the young man in purple, "I charged you some extra money before, I'm really sorry..."

The youth in purple:!

His eyes darkened.

Before I spoke, how did these people know that I planned to leave this brothel and no longer live here?

"Who told you to send this silver?" he asked.

The shopkeeper and the officers and soldiers exchanged glances.The shopkeeper wiped the sweat off his brow and said, "The owner of this place."

The owner of this place.

'Is it the land of the king in the whole world, and the land of the land is the king's minister.The owner of this place... is naturally the lord of Jing Kingdom, the emperor of Dajing. '

The young man in purple thought.

His slender eyes fixed on the bag of silver, and behind the velvet patterned surface, he seemed to be able to see a strategizing and thoughtful face hidden behind the bead curtain.

——He already calculated that he would leave here, so he specially sent a bag of money here?

——Is he warning himself, he already knows his plan?

——He already knew that he was hiding in this brothel, and deliberately made a big fanfare to scare the snakes, letting himself know that he had arrived.Moreover, he also calculated that his next move must be to leave here, and he kindly brought this bag of silver for him...

The young man in purple didn't move, but his heart was already filled with turbulent waves.His fingers tightened slightly.

This rumored tyrant... is actually smarter than he imagined!

"...He," the purple-clothed youth finally said, "do you have anything else to tell me?"

The shopkeeper thought for a while, and said: "He said, if the young master likes this place, you can stay here for a while, just be careful not to damage the things here. If it is damaged, you have to pay according to the price."

The young man in purple: ...

Appeared!The rumored tit for tat!

The young man in purple was startled suddenly.

The emperor meant that if Great Liang dared to violate the boundaries of Dajing, Dajing would be returned tenfold?

In addition, it is difficult for him to be sure whether the emperor has known about what happened in Xizhou before his uncle colluded with the local witch to cause the plague to develop... Reminiscent of the sudden death of the witch a few days ago, and the fact that there was a maid What I saw, before the death of the great witch, flashed through the witch mansion, the corner of the black clothes dotted with red clouds...

Suddenly, the back of the purple-clothed youth was covered with cold sweat.

The emperor's words... have a profound meaning!

How much does he really know?Is there anything in this world that he doesn't understand? !

"...Mister, please tell your master for me." The young man in purple put his fingers on the wall and said softly, "Since I am in his territory, as a foreigner, I will naturally abide by Jingguo's rules."

Treasurer:  …

This guest is suddenly so polite!

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper's smile blossomed, "Thank you for your understanding, young master."

The young man in purple nodded.

"By the way," before leaving, the shopkeeper said again, "The current master said that if the young master likes this place, he can stay here for a long time. It doesn't matter if he lives for three or five years longer. Oh , if you still don’t want to leave, it doesn’t matter.”

Emperor: It's hard to meet a super rich local tycoon who lived in a private room for more than a month.

The young man in purple: ...

Emperor Jingguo, what does this mean?Do you want to persuade and subdue him, or...

Are you warning him that if he stays in Jingguo territory for a long time, he will detain him, imprison him, and even use him as a hostage to threaten Great Liang?

Or are you threatening to kill him?After all, if he died in Jingguo, wouldn't he be considered a "long-term resident"?

The young man in purple: "Tell your master for me, I will keep a sense of propriety."

Shopkeeper: "Hey."

Under the terrified brain of the young man in purple, the shopkeeper went down from the fourth floor.Behind the closed paper door, the young man in purple leaned against the paper door, slowly sat down on the ground, and was startled into a cold sweat.

The man in black crawled out from under the bed, looked at his impoverished prince in exile: "Master..."

"Nothing." The young man in purple said coldly.

He thought for a while, and then said, "Go get me some pens and paper. I'll write a letter and send it to my uncle, so that he will stop meddling in the Xizhou epidemic."

The man in black nodded, he was loyal and would not interfere with all the decisions of his master.

The young man in purple was still sitting on the ground, he looked at the sky, and sighed slowly.

"The kingdom of Jingguo, the city that never sleeps..." he said slowly, "It really is a difficult place to explore."

The emperor had no idea that he had solved a big conspiracy against Xizhou by chance.

Zhou Xun didn't know either.

He sat in a chair thinking about his own affairs, what he had to do next, and many more.

One is to learn art from the old man named Shen Xiaoliu... no, Shen Huanju.Shen Huanju said that they will meet and teach once in three days. Of course, if he is free, he will go to the bookstore in Youhuang Lane every day, and it would be good to be his helper doing chores.

The two are things that will happen next spring.Once you have made up your mind, you cannot delay.Compared with Chun Wei, other things are not particularly important.

The third is the Zhou family.The Zhou family's two breakthroughs are the little brother Zhou who hurt someone, and the other is the one I saw just now...

Brothel women.

Thinking of the woman's face, Zhou Xun's stomach seemed to be filled with sour water again.

The emperor was still going up and down in the brothel, and he went for a walk in the backyard by himself.This brothel named Zhaoying Pavilion occupies a very large area, almost like a small government house.Except for the high-rise buildings with carved beams and painted buildings facing Huajie in the front, there is actually a landscape garden-like existence behind, with small houses inside, maybe for guests or girls.

He walked in the garden for a long time, and when he passed a certain building, Zhou Xun glanced at it.

The only thing is that there are many flowers planted around this building, not for viewing, but for...

"Hey, Brother Zhou," someone came out of the building with a pale face. When he saw him, he was stunned and patted him on the shoulder, "Why are you here?"

Zhou Xun: ...

It was Xie Zhengqing who came.

Seeing him staring at the building she came out of, Xie Zhengqing coughed in embarrassment: "Here is the place where grains reincarnate. Xie's stomach was not feeling well last night, so..."

Zhou Xun: ...

He remembered the last time he saw Xie Zhengqing in the imperial garden of the palace. At that time, the man was also in the washroom near the imperial garden because of... having a stomachache, so he came out and couldn't find the eunuch to guide him, so he got lost.

Why is it that every time he sees Xie Zhengqing, he has just come out of the land of reincarnation... after many times of reincarnation?

Xie Zhengqing didn't realize that he had become a "Brother Samsara" in Zhou Xun's heart.He looked at Zhou Xun, thought of his misunderstanding of him in the past, and felt ashamed, so he said: "The last time I left the palace, it's been a long time since I saw each other. How are you doing recently?"

Zhou Xun said, "It's okay."

Xie Zhengqing said: "Originally I should have come to visit you first, but unfortunately I have been really busy recently. The emperor has put forward many new opinions on the matter of marching, whether it is the organization, tactics or new weapons. I'm so busy that I want to tell you something..."

Zhou Xun said, "Understood."

Xie Zhengqing spoke for a long time, but felt that Zhou Xun's posture was unexpectedly indifferent, as if he didn't even bother to say a few words to him, and shut up after only rolling out a few necessary words.He doesn't remember where he offended Zhou Xun, and Zhou Xun just seemed a bit cold-tempered before, but when communicating with others, he was always very friendly and polite...

Why is Zhou Xun so abnormal today?

As he thought this in his heart, his mouth was still twisting.He wanted to mediate between Zhou Xun and Zhou Cai, and he also wanted to talk about Zhou Xun's younger brother, but these were other people's family affairs, and it was difficult for him to speak up, so he could only talk about other people's affairs first, trying to introduce topic.

until……

"Thank you sir."

Xie Zhengqing heard Zhou Xun call his name, Zhou Xun's voice was a little weird.

Xie Zhengqing hurriedly said, "Young Master Zhou, what's the matter?"

Zhou Xun smiled, his smile was very gentle, but his voice was——

"Let's talk in another place." He looked at the tunnel of reincarnation of the five grains behind them and said, "Perhaps my lord...is used to being here?"

Xie Zhengqing: ...

Zhou Xun: ^_^

The two walked in the landscape garden, and Zhou Xun felt that his suffocation was much better.Xie Zhengqing walked halfway, and finally got to the point: "Actually, your brother Zhou Cai and I have always been friends..."

Zhou Xun: ...

Xie Zhengqing was fine if he didn't speak, but when he did, it made people want to slap him to death on a tree.

"I had heard many rumors about you, but when I saw you a few days ago, I realized that the rumors may not be true." Xie Zhengqing said sincerely, "There may be some misunderstanding between you and Zhou Cai, which makes others like this Miss you……"

Zhou Xun: ...

"You're not the first person to talk to me like this." Zhou Xun said coldly, he knew that Xie Zhengqing didn't seem like a bad person, but the more he said this, the more annoying he was talking like this, "Yes, many people Everyone thinks that I have misunderstood my elder brother Zhou Cai..."

Xie Zhengqing: "Ah, I didn't say you misunderstood him. I think Zhou Cai misunderstood you and misunderstood you."

Zhou Xun: ...

Xie Zhengqing: "Rumours are often untrue. Three people make a tiger, and one word makes a fortune. It only takes a few words to make an outsider misunderstand a person. This is too simple."

Zhou Xun suddenly smiled and said, "But in the eyes of others, how can there be a closer relationship than a brother? Zhou Cai is my brother and my family, and the two get along day and night. Naturally, how can I 'misunderstand' me? Everything that was said was true.”

Xie Zhengqing said: "However, although your Zhou family is nothing in the capital, you are also a big family in Jiangzhou."

Zhou Xun: ...

Xie Zhengqing continued: "There should be more than a dozen servants and maidservants around you, living in different yards. Since you live far away, and you are not brothers who sleep on the same bed all day, there will be misunderstandings. It’s a very normal thing.”

Zhou Xun: ...

Seeing his "..." look, Xie Zhengqing asked in confusion, "Ah, did I say something wrong? Your family...isn't that well-off?"

Zhou Xun: ...

Zhou Xun couldn't help thinking of a guy named Lu Xiandao who sold ugly fans before.That guy Lu Xiandao has a straightforward personality and says one is one, and he is so irritating when he speaks casually.But this guy named Xie Zhengqing was sincere, and what he said was also very irritating.

He roughly understood what Xie Zhengqing meant—this little general Xie, the son of the Patriarch of the Xie family, grew up surrounded by flowers and applause, and the biggest setbacks he experienced were the yellow sand on the battlefield and the enemy from across the border. , the malice of a frontal confrontation.When he took part in the imperial examination, he would not encounter favoritism and fraud, and his grades would not be replaced by others, and no one would dare to deduct the rations given to his army when he went to the battlefield-so in his opinion, all misunderstandings, all Rumors can be dispelled and unraveled as long as there is a sincere reconciliation.

Sometimes the more well off the family is, the kinder they are and the less they believe in malice.Because in their view, the inexhaustible goodwill in the world is something that is readily available and should be taken for granted.

——So in his view, the misunderstanding between Zhou Xun and Zhou Cai can also be solved by being open and honest.Just like when he is on the battlefield, he can kill an enemy with one arrow, just like when he swings a knife, he will definitely cut off the head of another person-it is difficult for him to know that misunderstandings between people can also be like battlefields. The whole body is dripping with blood, but it is absolutely not as if cutting off the head with a knife is to take a person's life, and it is very organized.

But now Zhou Xun is always difficult to insult or reject him directly with harsh words when facing these people who have good intentions for him.He just said: "Master Xie, there is no need to say any more. The matter between me and Zhou Cai is not a family matter as Mr. Xie understands."

Xie Zhengqing was startled, pursed his lips, and said no more.

"By the way," he said again suddenly, "Zhou Cai came to me before and said that...something happened to your little brother, do you know?"

Zhou Xun said: "I have been in the palace for a long time, but I only heard that he injured an innocent businessman and is now in prison."

Xie Zhengqing nodded: "The businessman surnamed Lu suffered a lot. He woke up a few days ago, but his body was still a little inflexible. It's a pity. Do you know? That man's father passed away, and he settled his mother in Beijing. , I originally wanted to take the risk to go to sea and earn a future to come back. Unfortunately, there was another storm on the road, and everyone thought he was dead..."

"... Who knows, he just wandered on a desert island. He ate some fruits on the desert island, and found treasures and sea charts hidden on the island. Later, a pirate ship passed by, and he managed to get on the island. He took control of that boat and returned to Jingguo..." Xie Zhengqing sighed, "He made a fortune and originally planned to go back to pick up his mother, but who would have thought that such a thing would happen?"

The author has something to say: Xie Zhengqing: I came back from the end of reincarnation, kufufu
