Lu Jin'an immediately dispatched post envoys to notify the officials all over the south of the Yangtze River to protect Xue Yao, and then dispatched warships to escort the servant of the household department to personally chase the grain ship to the south of the Yangtze River.

It takes a month or two to reach Jiangnan by water.

Xue Yao set off for more than ten days, Lu Jinan thought he could catch up, but after interrogation, he learned that the killer hired by the servant of the household department was actually lying in ambush at Qixingmen, not Jiangnan.

Qixingmen is the transfer point to the south of the Yangtze River, and it can be reached by water in more than 20 days.

If the boat was faster, Xue Yao might have stepped into the killer's ambush at this moment, and there was no time to intercept it!

Lu Jinan was helpless, sitting alone in the cabin in despair, as if he had lost all his strength, slowly closed his eyes, and vaguely remembered the year when the grain was harvested. In the year of Pingrong's great epidemic, it was that child who used his thin shoulders to support the safety of the people in the county...

Lu Jinan bent his back little by little, put his hand on his forehead, and sobbed painfully deep in his nasal cavity.

In the evening, the three killers ambushed at Qixingmen finally waited for the official grain collection ship from the capital, only to find that Xue Yao was not among them.

He bought the local escort and got the news—Xue Yao got off the grain ship in Lushan and went to Pingrong County.

The three killers immediately took a shortcut and rushed to Pingrong County, trying to send Xue Yao to see Lord Yan as soon as possible.

Xue Yao saved the woman's life, and because of this, he passed by Lord Yan and escaped the first catastrophe.

Once the ten days passed, he was supposed to board the ship and go to the south of the Yangtze River as agreed, but the people in Pingrong County tried to persuade him to stay, and the kindness was hard to refuse.

Without Lu Jinan's officers and soldiers clearing the way, Xue Yao could hardly shirk, so he had to agree to stay a few more days.

Lao Zhang's family is especially grateful to Xue Yao, and the eldest son of Lao Zhang's family even wants to give himself to Xue Yao as a cow and a horse.

If Xue Yao really brought a young man back to the capital, wouldn't he turn Lemon Cub into a real tyrant?

I can only persuade the young man to stay at home and take care of his parents.

The young man was not happy at first, but later he saw that Xue Yao really disliked him, so he begged Xue Yao to stay at his house for a few days, at least to finish eating his pig.

Xue Yao accepted the kindness of Lao Zhang's family and stayed at Lao Zhang's house.

This stay, the killer is waiting.

That gang of killers was top experts recruited by the minister of the household department and several high-ranking officials with a lot of money. They had a lot of connections and quickly found Xue Yao's residence.

The employer told them to pretend to be robbers and kill people, so when Xue Yao was sitting in the courtyard of Lao Zhang's house eating pork head meat, he saw a group of men with the appearance of mountain bandits rushing in with knives, yelling to rob.

Xue Yao was completely dumbfounded.

How can there be bandits who rob poor peasants?It's too much to pursue...

He didn't think much about it, and he wasn't even too nervous. Since it was a robbery, he would leave after paying enough money. The problems that can be solved with money are all minor problems.

So Xue Yao kindly persuaded the bandits to put away their knives, asking for money to negotiate.

The killers had already collected the money from their employers, so they wouldn't negotiate the price with the assassination target. They didn't listen to Xue Yao's nagging at all. They stepped forward a few steps and slashed at Xue Yao!

Fortunately, the old Zhang's son reacted quickly and pushed Xue Yao away with one hand.

"Killer!" Old Zhang's mother-in-law was the first to come back to her senses, and shouted out in a loud voice, unlike a seriously ill and weak patient, she attracted all the neighbors!

The surrounding villagers were getting close, and soon there were footsteps rushing into the yard.

Relying on the large number of people, Xue Yao got up quickly, and was about to counterattack, but saw that the villagers who rushed in were quickly chopped to the ground by the three bandits.

The villagers who were cut on the ground struggled to hug the bandit's leg, and shouted to Xue Yao in horror: "Run, Daoist!"

"Engong, run!"

"Hurry up and run!"

Xue Yao didn't have time to think, and was dragged out of the courtyard by Lao Zhang's son.

The three bandits chased out of the courtyard with bloody long knives, but were surrounded by the people of Pingrong County who came one after another.

Why did the robbers kill the villagers instead of taking money?

Xue Yao looked back in fear at the escape center, and unexpectedly collided with the robbers who followed him.

The three robbers didn't search for the property at all, but followed Xue Yao all the way, their faces full of teasing expressions.

These three people are not robbers at all!

"They are coming for me." Xue Yao stopped, pulled his arm out of the boy's hand, and shouted at the villagers who were coming from a distance: "Don't come here! Everyone spread out and go to the Yamen to report to the official!"

The boy hurriedly grabbed Xue Yao: "Grandfather, go away! They are going to catch up!"

Xue Yao didn't know why these three people wanted to kill him, there were too many possibilities, he only knew that he couldn't escape.

The killers seemed to appreciate Xue Yao's desperation on purpose, and followed him unhurriedly.

Xue Yao would rather be hacked to death directly than have this desperate thinking time before dying.

He didn't dare to think about Lu Qian's reaction when he heard the news of his death.

Lu Qian in this life couldn't stand such a stimulus, and couldn't live like a walking dead like in his last life. He would definitely fall into madness, and he might even anger Lu Jin'an because of it.

Don't dare to think about it anymore.

why?

He has done good deeds and accumulated virtue all his life, and he has no quarrel with the world. All he wants is to make Lu Qian comfortable and happy, but in exchange for such a cruel result.

Is there really a merciful Buddha in the world?Buddha made such a terrible thing happen, then Buddha is a fucking bastard!

Xue Yao grabbed the wrist of the boy next to him: "Little brother, please, please ask someone from the government to write a letter for me, and send it to King Ning in Beijing. Don't go back to Beijing anymore, please Qi Ye find another lover.'"

The boy said anxiously: "What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Yao suddenly pushed the boy away——

The cold light was dazzling, and a knife slashed straight down at Xue Yao's outstretched hands!

The post envoy of Pingrong County rushed four hundred miles away and delivered the letter to the palace in three days.

After reading Xue Yao's "cheating letter", Lu Qian only took a saber and didn't prepare any luggage. He went to the official road and rushed to Jiangnan like a fly, breaking the historical record of the Beijing-Hangzhou official road race. You will cry when you see it, and you will be silent when you see Jue Ying Ma.

After arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, the prefect told Lu Qian that the grain collection team in the capital had not yet arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, and the government had already sent troops to Pingrong County to protect Xue Yao from the urgent report from the palace.

"Protect Xue Yao comprehensively?" Lu Qian's eyes froze, he grabbed the prefect's front lapel, and asked in a low voice: "Who dares to let Yaoyao not comprehensive?"

Half a month ago, Lu Jinan's warship passed Lushan, knowing that he could not catch up with the grain ship, he ordered his own ship to dock, and disembarked alone to Pingrong County.

Lu Jin'an vaguely felt that if Xue Yao passed by this place, he might also visit the people who had been rescued in Pingrong County.

It was this miraculous moment of sympathy that made Lu Jinan block the blade that was cutting towards Xue Yao's arm with his sword at the critical moment.

Lu Jinan didn't bring any guards with him at the time, and he was no match for the siege of the three top killers, so he picked up Xue Yao and tried his best to escape the pursuit.

At this moment, Xue Yao was hiding in the Pingrong County Yamen.

Lu Jin'an had already learned from the Minister of the Household Department that the three of them were all top killers. They were responsible for several murders and were wanted by the government for more than ten years. They were still at large, and their assassination methods were terrifying.

Once the task is taken over, it cannot be cancelled. This is the rule, so Xue Yao is still in danger if the three killers are not brought to justice for a day.

Lu Jin'an was short of manpower, and it was even more dangerous to go on the road rashly, so Xue Yao had to hide in the yamen first.

The three killers were actually hiding in the inn near the Yamen.

Over the past few days, they have taken turns to check out the Yamen, and they have already determined Xue Yao's hiding place.

At sunset, a black-clothed man wearing a bamboo hat passed through the crowd of people coming and going in the inn, and climbed up to the second floor without a sound.

Walking to the guest room at the end of the corridor, and pushing open the door, the man took off his bamboo hat, revealing a funny and frightening face——

A dark scar meanders from the bridge of his nose to the corner of the left lip, and the tail of the scar rises upwards, giving him a perpetual crooked smile, weird and funny.

"You can do it tonight." The man with the scar said softly.

In the dead and silent guest room, suddenly two faces turned to him at the same time, as if they had just appeared in the room.

"It's time to do it." One of the killers complained in a low voice: "The man in white has a lot of background. If we wait any longer, we will definitely cause more trouble. We only have three people, so we can't underestimate the enemy."

"Just the three of you?" A young man's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Who is it?" The faces of the three people in the room changed, and they jumped up like lightning, showing their weapons outside the door.

The person outside the door snorted in a displeased tone: "You guys are already here, why did you do it tonight? Ask Ye Bai to wait for so many days."

The leader of the killer looked at the man with the scar: "Have you been followed?"

"Impossible!" The man with the scar was full of murderous intent, turned around and rushed towards the door like a dragon, but heard two sharp sounds of "swish" behind him!

He hurriedly turned his head, and saw two brothers behind him blocking the hidden weapon flying from the window with their knives.

"He's outside the window!"

Guessing that the incoming person might be attacking from both ends, the leader of the killer immediately ordered to change the formation. As soon as he turned around, he saw the man with the scar holding the knife, his eyes wide open, and he suddenly rushed towards him!

"What are you doing!" Before the leader could react, he was pierced through the throat by the long sword that suddenly pierced through the chest of the man with the scar.

The leader clutched his throat in disbelief, and just before his vision blurred, he saw a man poking his face out from behind the scarred man's head.

He is an extremely handsome young man, with a pair of peach blossom eyes slightly squinted, facing the setting sun shining in from the window, his light pupils are like melting gold.

The last twilight of the setting sun receded, and the yamen received a report that a homicide occurred in an inn, and three tenants died in the room.

After several inspections, the dead were actually the three killers.

Lu Jin'an was puzzled.

Who is the hero who saw the injustice and killed the murderer with his hands, and did not leave his name.

In any case, the crisis was over.

Xue Yao was finally released from the Yamen and regained his freedom.

That night, the people of Pingrong County held a sacrifice in the mountains to pray for Xue Yao.

Lu Jin'an asked the servant of the household department to participate in the sacrifice.

"You said that Xue Yao has been willing to be a companion all these years, there must be a conspiracy behind it."

Standing under the tree, Lu Jin'an looked at Xue Yao not far away surrounded by ordinary people, and said softly: "Then you can see clearly now, this is Xue Yao's 'conspiracy behind' these years. A few years ago, Xue Yao ignored In order to control the epidemic and eliminate the plague, save hundreds of thousands of people in Pingrong County and even two adjacent counties, these powerless people treat him as a living Bodhisattva and a reborn parent. If he really has the ambition you mentioned , why don't you spend this desperate energy on making friends with powerful people?"

The servant of the household department stared blankly at Xue Yao who was surrounded by the people not far away. After a long time, he bent his knees, fell to his knees, and bowed his head to confess his sin.

After the sacrifice, the villagers held a feast by the fire to celebrate.

Although he narrowly escaped death, Xue Yao still had one thing in his heart that he couldn't let go of. He searched for an opportunity to get out of the crowd and find the old Zhang's son for questioning——

"I asked you to tell the government that day, haven't you done it yet? If you can't do it, then you don't need to do it." Xue Yao thought he was dead that day, and planned to trick Lu Qian into empathizing with him.

If this letter were to be sent to the capital, Lemon Cub would be furious.

The old Zhang's son's eyes lit up, and he told Xue Yao very reliably: "After Engong was rescued that day, I immediately passed on Engong's orders to the county magistrate, please rest assured!"

Xue Yao: "..."

I'm afraid your benefactor is about to end.

"Engong, let's drink another bowl!" Old Zhang's son warmly persuaded him to drink.

"No, I have something to do later."

"Tonight? What else is there to do?"

"Eh..." Xue Yao turned his head to look around, planning to use Lu Jinan as a shield.

The moment his eyes moved, Xue Yao suddenly noticed that not far away, there were villagers gathered together. Among the villagers stood a tall and slender silhouette with a red gold crown and a dark purple gown.

That figure standing among the villagers was very abrupt, yet very familiar, so familiar that Xue Yao's legs were a little weak...

Why is the lemon cub appearing here!

Because of the "cheating letter", did you deliberately kill him for revenge?

Xue Yao took two steps back guiltily, planning to go to Lu Jinan to help explain the proof.

However, Lu Qian seemed to have noticed his intention to escape, and turned his head leisurely towards him.

Xue Yao was ready to die.

The moment his eyes fell on Xue Yao's face, Lu Qian suddenly showed a clear and innocent smile.

This smile was too cheating, making Xue Yao lose his desire to survive.

Lu Qian strode forward with long legs, walked up quickly, squinted his eyes and smiled at Xue Yao: "May I ask, are you a local?"

"Ah?" Xue Yao was confused.

Did this lemon cub lose his memory due to the explosion of vinegar?Why don't you know him?

Lu Qian lowered his head and cleared his throat, looked at Xue Yao, and said with a serious look: "My lord is a son of a family from the south of the Yangtze River. I just glanced at you in the crowd, and I feel full of admiration."

"You..." Xue Yao understood that Lemon Cub was playing the role of the "son of Jiangnan family" whom he fell in love with at first sight in that "Letter of Infidelity".

What kind of fresh revenge is this?

Xue Yao decided not to cooperate with Lemon Cub's script.

With a serious face, Lu Qian continued to say to Xue Yao, "May I buy you a cup of milk?"

Xue Yao suppressed a smile and rolled his eyes: "No."

Lu Qian frowned seriously: "I hope you will think about it seriously, but I am the freshest son of a family in Jiangnan."

Xue Yao: "..."

The night before he left Beijing, he teased Lemon Cub that he didn't like bamboo horses, but that he liked love at first sight, which was fresh.

Returning the son of the "freshest" family in the south of the Yangtze River, this guy is definitely the number one hater in the capital!

Xue Yao didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Your Highness is addicted to acting? When did you come to Pingrong County? Why didn't you come to me earlier, I even..."

"Don't move!" Lu Qian suddenly moved closer to Xue Yao's face and observed it carefully.

Xue Yao raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?"

Lu Qian squinted his eyes and sighed pretendingly: "My lord, you look like a princess with a phoenix head and phoenix eyes."

Xue Yao had nothing to do with this naughty kid, and didn't respond, waiting for Lu Qian to finish his performance.

Lu Qian looked forward to it, waiting for his flirtatious little companion to read and think of his fiancé who was far away in the capital, and then his conscience found out that he rejected the "Jiangnan wanderer" in front of him to invalidate the cheating letter.

However, Xue Yao did not cooperate with His Royal Highness' script at all.

Lu Qian lowered his eyes in disappointment, but still muttered persistently in a low voice: "Your face is extremely rare..."

Seeing Lu Qian's expression lost, Xue Yao was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and suddenly changed his expression, showing a surprised expression. In line with the boy's script, he said excitedly: "Really? I have the appearance of a princess?"

Lu Qian immediately revived his spirits, raised his head and replied, "My father never misses people."

Xue Yao smiled pleasantly and said, "Then, show me quickly! Where is my husband?"

Lu Qian stared at Xue Yao seriously for a while, and announced in a deep voice: "Your good partner is now living in the palace. It is God's will. It seems that an ordinary person like Jiangnan has no chance to have you."

"My husband lives in the palace?" Xue Yao raised his eyebrows and snapped his fingers: "Could it be the most handsome prince in the South Three Suo Dong Suo? I admire him the most!"

Lu Qian lowered his head and smiled, raising his long eyelashes to look at Xue Yao.

For the first time in his eyes there was a joy that was lost and found, the kind of joy that has not yet dissipated.

After a pause, Lu Qian replied in a low voice: "It's him, you can only marry him in this life."

Xue Yao's eyes widened slowly, and he raised his hand to cover his mouth in surprise: "My God...do I have this honor?"

Lu Qian was amused by Silly Yaoyao, and then nodded with a serious expression.

The laughter of the surrounding people mixed with the evening wind.

The smiles of the two boys overshadowed the good night.

Lu Jin'an stood not far away, watching the seventh younger brother playing and laughing with Xue Yao, a smile gradually appeared in his eyes.

It turns out that such a wonderful fit can also happen between men.

In the 21st year of Lin'an, Ning Wang Luqian ascended the throne according to the edict and changed the country's name to You'an.

In the first year of You'an, Xue Yao was established as queen, awarded the golden book and phoenix seal, and became the first male queen in Daqi. Because of his many efforts to participate in epidemic control and disaster relief, the people built a living shrine for the queen, and the folks also called him "" Queen Bodhisattva".
