I'm not Murong Chong

The chariots and horses left the city gate of Chang'an, the people on both sides of the official road gradually thinned out, and the fields and rice fields seemed to have a new look.

Although Ren Zhen said that he wanted to punish Yao Song for eating up the apricot cakes, he was afraid that he would get angry if he ate too much, so he broke off half a piece and fed it to him, so he gave the rest of the 80 yuan to everyone, especially Wu Lie. , won nearly half of it alone.

The group rested on the spot, eating and drinking.At the beginning, Wu Lie ate happily, but soon he was choked and uncomfortable, because the emperor rewarded him to "eat it all" and couldn't pack it back, so he had to frown and search for water for food, making everyone secretly laugh .

Ren Zhen saw that the weather was pleasant in the afternoon, so he got out of the car with Yao Song to get some air. As soon as they sat down under the shade of a tree, they heard the sound of crying from the fields not far away.

Wu Lie was choking and rolled his eyes, seeing that there was finally an unexpected situation, he hurried over and said happily: "Mo, Mo will go and see what happened."

Yao Song kindly touched the water bag beside him and handed it over: "No, I want to go and see for myself what the quarrel is about."

When Yao Song spoke, Ren Zhen had nothing to do, and the two got up and left hand in hand.

But I saw a lot of people surrounded by twos and threes on the edge of the field. The old and the young in the middle were dressed as tenant farmers, their legs were covered with mud, and they were arguing with a few servants holding sticks.It turned out that the father and son were servants of a large family. As soon as the land equalization order was issued, they went to the Cao official's office to report, and they were given several acres of Susukida based on their heads.Unexpectedly, the big family sent slaves to chase after him all the way, claiming that the old man owed money and had not paid back, and was willing to sell himself to pay off the debt - how can he register his name and claim the land if he is a slave?If he wanted to drag him away, the old man's son said angrily: "Although I owe money, but I haven't signed the contract of sale, how can I count it as a slave? It is clear that you are bullying others!" The other said: "You escaped slave ! Then you don’t have to pay back the money you owe? How can there be such a good thing in the world!”

Ren Zhen stopped, leaned back slightly and asked Wu Lie in a low voice: "Whose family slave?"

Wu Lie said: "It seems that General Diao's uncle's family is also a nobleman in Chang'an."

"What? Want to go out and draw your sword to help fight the injustice?" Yao Song teased.Ren Zhen glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you want me to do it, I will do it." Yao Song curled his lips and said, "I don't care about it."

Ren Zhen said casually: "Then I don't care - from my point of view, the father and son wanted to sell themselves as slaves, and the pawn money had already been collected and used, but it happened to be the order of Juntian, so they took advantage of the loophole and took the field. , That big family can’t swallow this breath, so they will not let you go after them to find their bad luck. One side is rich and unkind, and the other side wants to change, each has its own problems. But for whom do you want me to come forward and 'draw the sword'?"

Yao Song smiled and nodded, his Ren Zhen would never be blindly impulsive: "If it's an ordinary rich man, it doesn't matter if he wants to gain a good reputation or stand out for the people, but he is Diao Yun's relative—— He is a veteran of the Pride Riding Battalion, and he is on the front line desperately fighting the world, if he is hit unexpectedly, he will inevitably be paranoid—so it's best to keep it private." Ren Zhen thought the same way, and was about to turn around. The head ordered people to fetch some money, and the struggle over there had escalated, and fists and kicks had begun.

"Wait a minute!" A bright young man dressed as a boy suddenly said, and pulled away the slave who was about to forcibly grab someone, "How can you force someone to be captured in broad daylight? If you make a big deal out of it, you won't be afraid that Chang'an officials will find out, and you can sue the court." Wei, will you be imprisoned, and even affect the Patriarch?"

As expected, everyone was bluffed by his words, but Yao Song secretly wondered: How could a little boy know Yan Lu so well, and still speak clearly and logically?He looked around, and saw a tall and tall figure hidden in the crowd, dressed in ordinary gray clothes and wearing a black gauze hat—it was him!

The slave of the big family came back to his senses, and he was also dissatisfied: "It's only natural to pay back the debt! Don't let it go?!"

The black-veiled man really stood out from the crowd, and said loudly: "That's natural. But it's not good for both parties to have a stiff fight, so it's better to negotiate."

The slave leader sneered and said, "How to negotiate? If they have money, they still have to cheat?"

"They don't have any." Xie Xuan, who was dressed in black gauze and gray, smiled slightly, and tapped his toes to the ground, "but there is loess under his feet. The land equalization order issued by Dayan just stipulates that all farmers who lead the land must pay a certain amount of grain, The rest can stay at home. When the next year’s harvest is harvested, let the two of you discount the remaining grain to you at the current market price—you don’t have to worry about them running away or reneging on their debts, all landholders are registered Registration is supervised by neighborhood chiefs, village chiefs, and party chiefs, so that people and the land are tied together and cannot be escaped. Isn’t it all four corners?”

Yao Song couldn't help but be very surprised - not long after the Land Equalization Order was promulgated, many old eunuchs and acquaintances under his command still couldn't memorize the regulations clearly, how could this person be so familiar with the newcomers?Ren Zhen also raised his eyebrows to look at the person who came, and secretly praised him in his heart.

Xie Xuan had persuaded both parties, and ordered Yang Ping to spread out a blank piece of paper, and dipped his pen in ink, and the pen was like a snake. Concealed and implicit, it is really wonderful calligraphy!Xie Xuan wrote a contract in no time, asked the father and son to draw it and handed it to the head of the slave, saying: "There is no evidence for the word, and the letter is the evidence, and then I will ask the 'three chiefs' to notarize— —Let the father and son repay their debts by offsetting the harvested grains with silver money in three years, and postpone it later in case of natural disasters."

This way of doing things, everyone was convinced, and they dispersed without mentioning it.

Yang Ping came jumping up and down, just as he called out "Master—" then he saw a burly man walk up to him, clasped his fists at Xie Xuan's master and servant and said, "My master invites you to come and tell me."

Yang Ping hurriedly stood up and stopped: "Who is your master's name? What's the matter?" Xie Xuanwei waved his hand to stop his interrogation, and followed Wu Lie to the shade of the tree in a polite manner, and met the two well-dressed young masters Slightly bowed and saluted: "I have no words to shoot, I wonder what advice you two have?"

Ren and Yao also answered the ceremony and signed up. Yao Song ordered people to serve tea to serve the guests, and said with a smile: "Wushe is one of the twelve rhythms of ancient music, which has been lost. The son must be named after it. talent."

As soon as Xie Xuan heard this, he knew that the handsome man in front of him knew that his name was fabricated, so he laughed it off: "I dare not take it."

Ren Zhen didn't understand these riddles, so he said: "I heard that Mr. Yan's accent is not from Guanzhong, but just now he acts like he knows Dayan's laws and policies like the back of his hand, which really makes me admire."

Xie Xuan turned his head to look at this heroic and extraordinary man, and said modestly: "I am wandering and traveling around the world. Suxi studies the local customs and customs, and only then knows a thing or two. The two brothers will laugh at me."

Yao Song said: "Since you have traveled around, you must have extensive knowledge and knowledge. I wonder if Mr. Yan has insight into this Juntian Order, so let's share it?"

Xie Xuan saw that the two people were very generous, so he thought it was a famous nobleman in Chang'an who was out of the city for the autumn, so he laughed and said: "The order of equalizing land is a strategy to enrich the country and strengthen the army. If it can be implemented, there will be no hunger or discouragement within three years. ——However, if you act too hastily, and the detailed rules are not perfect, it is easy for some people who are eager to take advantage of the loopholes to seek personal gain, but it is a disadvantage and a great good.”

Yao Song was taken aback for a moment - when the incident happened just now, he had thought of some shortcomings of the Juntian Order in registering names and registrations, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him could see through it at a glance!He smiled calmly and said, "My lord has a good opinion. I just don't know why you have to cover your face with black veils and don't want to show your true colors since you have traveled all over the world?"

Xie Xuan replied unhurriedly: "When I was young, there was a fire in my house, and my face was burned. It was very scary. I just dressed up like this for the convenience of walking."

Ren Zhen loved his talent very much, so he didn't doubt that he was there, and waved his hand and said, "Husband, why don't you worry about it!"

Xie Xuan said: "Exactly. After ten years of this, I've already gotten used to it, so I let it go." After a word, the three of them sat down and chatted a lot about the current situation, and it was very speculative.In the end, it was Xie Xuan who looked up at the sky, got up and bowed, and said, "It's getting late, and it's time for me to say goodbye."

Ren Zhen and Yao Song hurriedly got up to return the salute, and asked him where he was staying in Chang'an City, Xie Xuan excused himself and refused to answer, the two had no choice but to let it go, and ordered Wu Lie to send him away.

Ren Zhen looked at his back and said with emotion: "It's a pity that the recluse has no intention of official career at a glance, otherwise I really want to keep this person to help—" Yao Song was thoughtful: " The light fragrance on his body is so familiar, I seem to have smelled it somewhere..."

Ren Zhen turned to smile and said, "You have been scented by the medicine for a long time, why didn't I smell a very faint fragrance?"

The two boarded the car again, took their seats, and started slowly.At the same time, Xie Xuan who was in the distance suddenly stopped and turned around, Yang Ping said puzzledly: "My lord?" Xie Xuan didn't answer, but his eyes under the black veil chased after the carriage.

Even though the tall man who sent him away just now was disguised, it was obvious at a glance that he was a martial artist, and when he passed by, he even revealed the tiger-subduing badge tied around his waist-it was the token of the Tiger Benwei , Relying on the prohibition of entering and leaving the palace, it is impossible for someone to imitate it.He also thought of the demeanor of those two young masters just now... His heart moved, and he lowered his head and said: "Let's go."

Ren Zhen and Yao Song were sitting in the car, but they were abnormally speechless, and they were still thinking about that "Mr. Yan" in their hearts.After a while, Wu Lie came back to reply to his order, and by the way, according to Ren Zhen's order, he took Xie Xuan back to write the contract.Yao Song hurriedly took it and he and Ren Zhen took a closer look. Even a person like Ren Zhen, who has no understanding, can also see that this running script is written by everyone, which is really extraordinary.

Yao Song rubbed the rice paper over and over again, and straightly said, "This character is vivid and elegant; this paper is as firm and clean as jade, thin and smooth, all of which are rare and good... These characters are by no means unknown people—" —”

Seeing Yao Song murmuring like he was in a nightmare, Ren Zhen put the smoker in his hand into his arms: "Look, you are better, and you are so exhausted..." Yao Song took the smoker blankly, thinking Suddenly, he took a sharp breath and said in surprise, "I remember! It's a purple sachet! It's a treasure from the Southern Dynasties, and only one person in the world can wear this fragrance!" He hurriedly looked at the rice paper in his hand again: "It's not wrong, this word is taught by the book sage Wang Youjun, and this paper is Qingtan Sichi Dan-it's really him!"

Ren Zhen was taken aback, and quickly supported Yao Song's shoulders: "What can't be wrong? Who is he?"

"Yan Wushe! Remove the word "No" in the middle of this pseudonym, what is it?" Yao Song asked anxiously, "It's the word thank you!"

Ren Zhen was completely stunned - Xie Jiabaoshu - Xie Xuan?He is Xie Xuan!Yao Song had passed him and lifted the curtain with his hands, and said urgently with a solemn expression: "Turn back and chase this person immediately!"

Ren Zhen came back to his senses, and hurriedly added a sentence out of the window: "It must be captured alive!"

Yao Song was bathed in hot water filled with medicinal fragrance, but his face looked cold in the curling steam.Hearing the sound of footsteps behind him, he didn't turn his head, but said: "But still no results?"

Ren Zhen pressed his bare shoulders, hesitated for a moment, and still said: "Close the four doors, check the house - he still can't be found." At that time, they immediately turned the car around and chased after him, but there was no one there.Although Wu Lie was ordered to lead all the guards to scatter to follow, but after all, the surrounding area is vast and there is not enough manpower, so there is no result.

Ren Zhen had no choice but to order to go back to the city and search again, but Yao Song knew there was no hope.At this moment, he frowned and sighed: "Xie Xuan must have seen the clue, why am I so stupid and didn't detain him on the spot when I was a step too late!

No... the incident happened so suddenly, he must not have time to leave the city - he should still be hiding in Chang'an City! "As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of falling into the water behind him, and he was hugged tightly by a fiery chest in the splash of water. Yao Song turned his head helplessly and stared at Ren Zhen's suddenly enlarged handsome face: "Squeeze again It's hot, and I don't mind it! "

Ren Zhen agreed: "It's really crowded and hot..."

Yao Song's face became more blushing, and he grabbed the clever finger under the water suddenly, "I'm talking about serious business! Tomorrow, the gate of Chang'an City will be temporarily closed, and we will not be able to get in or out - digging three feet into the ground is necessary." Dig him out——" Ren Zhen leaned over and pressed him while listening, Yao Song suddenly felt the scorching heat of him pressing against his buttocks, and he inadvertently let out a sweet sound from the end of his nose Tired of humming softly, he said softly and angrily: "Didn't you always force me to be like a snake and scorpion recently? Why did you change my appearance again today~"

"Aren't I afraid that I will be entangled by you snake demon, and I will die~" Ren Zhen said with a flattering smile, grabbed his limp struggling hands, and swayed them up and down vaguely against his slippery back. It stood tall and slid into the hot buttocks, and Yao Song couldn't help moaning: "You bastard~" Ren Zhen stretched out his hand to pinch his chin and turned to himself, his eyes were full of desire: "Your body is getting worse now Well, if you hold on any longer, you'll be a bastard—”

Yao Song couldn't resist, and he kept his business in mind, half-pushed and said: "But then Xie Xuan—"

"I know that you are eager to arrest him because you want to use him for me, but Xie Xuan has been pushed out of the Eastern Jin court, and for many years he has devoted himself to Shanshui and will no longer be an official—he has no intentions, and it is useless to force him, so let him go! "Ren Zhen sucked his earlobe in his mouth and said vaguely.

Yao Song was taken aback, knowing that Ren Zhen had misunderstood—in his view, Xie Xuan came from a famous family in Jiangzuo, who was famous for poetry and wine, and even if he was forced to resign by Sima Daozi to protect himself, he would definitely not be able to switch to the Murong family of Xianbei In fact, once the north and the south are at war, he will definitely serve as the commander-in-chief of the Jin army regardless of the past - Ren Zhen has no distinction between Hu and Han in his heart, and his thinking is too simple.He insisted on arresting Xie Xuan in order to eradicate the roots and clear the way for the unification of the north and south in the future!

He was thinking over and over in his mind, when he suddenly felt that Ren Zhen had stabbed him hotly in the back, he couldn't help moaning, his hands and feet limply clung to the edge of the tub—forget it, there's no need to say these words now, just wait The net of heaven and earth captures people in one fell swoop, and he will kill them first and then play them forever to avoid future troubles.

In the dead of night, a door of an ordinary small dwelling suddenly opened, and a figure sneaked in deftly. After closing the door, he whispered to the people in the house: "My lord, there is already a curfew outside. I don't think there will be any more tonight." It's a mess. I'll pack up my luggage now, and we'll leave as soon as the city gate opens at Maoshi tomorrow."

Xie Xuan, who had been waiting indoors with his hair tied and draped, nodded slightly at this moment.

Yang Ping packed the cooked food and dry food that he bought one after another from the small shops on the street just now, and said: "It is true that all the inns in the city have been interrogated by the officials and the soldiers-fortunately, the young master is alert and changed them as soon as he came back. Such an unremarkable residence, we gave the owner a little money to cover it up for us. It’s just that I don’t understand, even if the two young masters are some big figures in the Yan Kingdom today, there is no need to arrest the young masters? Yan Jin Two Kingdoms One There are no disputes and no wars, and a peace treaty was signed the year before last.

Right now, there is nothing wrong with each other, but because there is a Houyan in the middle as a buffer zone. Once the two countries border, they will be determined by their strength. How can there be a peace treaty that will last forever?Xie Xuan said indifferently: "There are no eternal friends or enemies between countries. As long as there is a conflict of interest, they can immediately meet each other. So it is understandable for them to chase and kill me."

"Chasing and killing?!" Yang Ping jumped up, raised his eyes and said, "What crime have we committed? Those two young masters don't seem to be treacherous and evil, why are they so wicked!"

Xie Xuan shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty. They want to kill me not caring, but mentally."

Yang Ping half understood, Xie Xuan stood up and said: "Forget it, it's useless to talk too much. I just hope that I can leave the city safely tomorrow." As soon as the words fell, the dim yellow candles in the room flickered, Xie Xuan stopped, After concentrating for a moment, he shot like lightning, slapped the candlestick on the table and shot it out of the dark window. Suddenly he heard the sound of metal falling outside the room, followed by the sound of clothes rubbing and swords being unsheathed.

Yang Ping jumped up in shock and hid behind Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan knew that his whereabouts had been revealed, so he stopped struggling, and slowly lifted his clothes and sat down. He said calmly, "It's more serious, so many friends are guarding outside, so don't you feel tired?"

The door of the room opened with a creak, and Wu Lie, who was dressed vigorously and wore a sword, stepped in. Seeing that Xie Xuan was calmly carrying the pot and pouring water, he didn't dare to do anything wrong, so he respectfully clasped his fists and saluted: "See Thank you son."

Xie Xuan lowered his head and took a sip of water, and said slowly: "You guys are really patient if you can find it here." He had sent Yang Ping out to investigate the situation secretly after seeing that the world has already been scoured today. Unexpectedly, there are many eyeliners in various streets and workshops in Chang'an, and Yang Ping was followed by the hidden people as soon as he appeared, and his whereabouts were exposed.

"Following orders, my lord, forgive me." Wu Lie guarded the door like an iron tower, not retreating half a step: "Please follow me, my lord!"

"Where are you going!" Yang Ping became nervous all of a sudden, Xie Xuan lightly raised his hand, and stopped his scolding - just now he heard the voice to identify the position, there were so many visitors, he should still be an expert in the Huben Camp, no matter how good his martial arts skills are I'm afraid he can't take Yang Ping out of the siege... He stood up and walked towards Wu Lie step by step: "Where do you two masters want to take me?"

He spoke softly, even with a slight smile on his face, but for some reason Wu Lie felt his whole body tremble, and quickly lowered his head and said: "The last general has never had two masters. 'Mr. Ren' ordered me to take Mr. Xie away. "

As soon as this remark came out, Xie Xuan was taken aback, Yang Ping said angrily, "Where are you going? Isn't Mr. Ren and Mr. Yao all the same way!?"

"Shut up." Xie Xuan's voice was not loud, but he did not get angry, and ordered briefly, "Let's go."

Yang Ping opened his mouth wide in a daze, wondering how his master could easily believe such a mere sentence.Seeing that Xie Xuan walked out without any hesitation, he hastily packed up his package and followed closely.

A group of people walked through the streets and alleys silently under the starry sky, and in less than half an hour, the tall city gate was clearly visible in the night.Wu Lie stepped forward to show the token and documents to the guard on duty, and after the handover was completed, he left the customs smoothly.

Yang Ping was still a little unbelievable until he stepped out of Chang'an City. He couldn't figure out why these people let them go quietly while shouting and beating them.Wu Lie ordered someone to bring a good horse from Liangzhou to Xie Xuan, and made another salute: "Tomorrow the gate of Chang'an city will be closed, people are allowed to enter and not allowed to go out, and if you want to leave the city again, young master, it will be extremely difficult. My master has confessed, and I have already carried the money for food and money on the way, please get on the horse and go on the road, and return it quickly."

Xie Xuan was silent for a moment, took the reins of the horse, clasped his fists at Wu Lie and said, "General, please go back and tell 'Mr. Ren' that there is no way to repay you for saving your life. I owe him a favor."

In Weiyang Palace, Yao Song lay prone on the dragon bed, sleeping, revealing his skin outside the Qiluo brocade quilt as bright as moonlight.Ren Zhen stood up, tucked the brocade quilt carefully again, and made sure that Yao Song's hands and feet would not get cold before lying down again holding Yao Song's hands and closing his clothes.

In fact, he always knew that Yao Song wanted to kill Xie Xuan because of his great cause, but he couldn't bear the death of such an amazing, talented and beautiful person so easily, so he held Yao Song back and let him go out of the city quietly. Even if they dig three feet into the ground, they will not be able to find this person in Chang'an City.

I really don't know what kind of face and bearing should be under the black gauze, so that it can bear the four characters "zhilanyushu".Ren Zhen raised the corners of his lips silently - he even began to vaguely look forward to reuniting with Xie Xuan on the battlefield one day.
