Pet official

As soon as Liu Tong's words came out of his mouth, Song Bin and Ruan Yunqing couldn't help but their faces changed, and they broke out in cold sweat.

As soon as he was in the court, Song Yan felt strange. On the battlefield, speed is the most important thing, and soldiers are very fast. Generally, when marching and fighting, they will never keep prisoners of war. They either kill them on the spot or burn the dead bodies. The idlers who come here will follow behind to pick heads and return them for silver.

"Beimang people have lived in the grassland for a long time. They have a tough temperament and are brave and good at fighting. Most of the people in the country live by animal husbandry and hunting. Most of them have deep eyes and a wide mouth. It is much darker, and the cheeks are often exposed to the sun, and there are often red spots after sunburn, which can be recognized at a glance. Although the heads in the box just now have been weathered for a long time, they can still be distinguished in general."

When Liu Tong said this, the hand holding the wine cup was already trembling. He paused for a while before slowly opening his mouth: "The old man just looked at the heads in the box carefully, and saw that those people's faces were gentle, not like those from Beimang." half alike..."

Liu Tong shook his head, and said bitterly: "This Feng Kui really deserves to die! Could it be that for the sake of money, we really took the heads of our Dongli people and pretended to be the enemy army?"

He didn't believe it in his heart, but the facts were in front of his eyes. He checked those heads himself just now, and Liu Tong was sure that he was right. Those heads were indeed not from Beimang.

Liu Tong felt as if a boulder was blocked in his heart, his eyes were fixed, he stared at the clear wine in the glass, and after a long time he said: "The old man please come down, I just want His Highness to send someone to investigate this matter quickly, and to convict Feng Kui in the future. This alone is enough for him to die a few times."

Song Ru replied in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, don't worry, I will send someone to investigate immediately, and I will definitely find out the origin of these heads."

With a heavy heart, Song Ru was really shocked and angry.If this is true, then Feng Kui must have taken the heads of Dongli's people, pretended to be an enemy general, and even took the opportunity to blackmail.

Liu Tong thanked Song Bin, "Your Highness will be in trouble if you do that."

Song Ru waved his hand lightly, the two of them had nothing more to say, they sat silently for a while, and the room fell into a dead silence.

Liu Tonglue sat for a while, then got up to say goodbye, Song Bi was about to send him out, but Liu Tong hurriedly stopped him, saying: "Your Highness, who has a body of a thousand pieces of gold, has become a minister."

Song Bin didn't force it, and asked Ruan Yunqing to see him off on his behalf, Liu Tong agreed, bowed to Song Bin, and left.

He has long heard of Liu Tong's name, he is a famous official in the world, a pillar of the country, Ruan Yunqing did not dare to neglect, followed Liu Tong out, and sent him to the long street, saw him getting into the carriage, and then turned back wine shop.

Liu Tong sat in the car, opened the curtain, looked at Ruan Yunqing's back, and nodded secretly.When he just left the house, he tested Ruan Yunqing for a few words, and saw that the child was eloquent, diligent and willing to learn, and he already had some insight in knowledge. Although he was not as good as Song Ren and the others, he was better than those young masters of the same age. Not a lot.

The most important thing is that Ruan Yunqing doesn't have the arrogance and arrogance of a favorite minister, he speaks in a simple and polite way, and he is very considerate to himself, an old guy who is about to retire, and what's more, he doesn't have the servile look of an ordinary eunuch. Liu Tong was really surprised by his neither humble nor overbearing demeanor.

No wonder Gu Yuanwu praised him, and Song Bi trusted him a lot, even for such a confidential matter as he just said, he didn't let the child leave the door.Liu Tong felt relieved, with Ruan Yunqing by Song Bin's side, not only would it not disturb Song Bin's mind, but it would also give him a powerful arm.These two are definitely like a tiger with wings added together, Ruan Yunqing has a stable temperament and is not impatient in dealing with things. With him under pressure, I'm afraid Song Bin's violent temper can be restrained a bit.

Liu Tongxin felt a lot more relaxed, he was relieved, and told his servant to return home quickly, he had to collect more evidence of Feng Kui's crimes for Song Bin, so that he could eradicate the thief in one fell swoop.

Ruan Yunqing went back to the wine shop, and Song Ren had already told Po Jun to investigate the origin of the [-] heads.

Po Jun led the order to leave, Ruan Yunqing asked Song Bin if he would go back to the palace immediately.

"It's hard to come out, just sit down for a while."

Ruan Yunqing poured a glass of wine with Song Ruan, and Song Ruan let Ruan Yunqing sit down beside him, "Is everything ready?"

"Everything is ready, just wait until the day of the Chongyang Palace Banquet to close the net."

Ruan Yunqing answered easily, Song Ru smiled and said, "What can I do for you?"

Today's Ruan Yunqing has gathered a group of people to do things for him, and Song Ru is very relieved. He has the full power to deal with Queen Wei's layout and other matters. He is only concerned about the court these days. I just remembered to ask the last sentence.

Ruan Yunqing heard the words, thought for a while, and said: "There is nothing to help with business, but I want to ask His Highness for favor."

Ruan Yunqing begged him, and Song Ru almost thought he heard it wrong.Feeling happy from the bottom of his heart, Song Ju became energetic, and hurriedly asked, "Favour? What kind of favor?"

After a moment of silence, Ruan Yunqing said: "I can't say it right now, His Highness will know when the time comes. Please agree to it, Your Highness."

Song Ru was a little disappointed, Ruan Yunqing refused to say, he naturally would not force him, nodded in response, and asked: "I promise, but what can you thank me for?"

Song Ru was just joking, but Ruan Yunqing thought about it seriously for a while.He pursed the corners of his mouth, could it be: "I have nothing but this life."

Ruan Yunqing didn't feel depressed when she spoke, and she was very calm when she spoke. It was just such a plain truth, but Song Ru was very distressed when he heard it.

What is penniless?Song Ru's anger flared up again, he yelled to himself, he was so angry, he couldn't help shouting in his heart: Everything I have is yours, even me, my heart, is also yours of.

Song Ren opened his mouth, and when he met Ruan Yunqing's moist and clear eyes, all the clamor in his heart was blocked in his throat.Those words were like ice stubble, choking people uncomfortably, but because of waiting for too long, the ice stubble actually melted into the stomach, and those words became more and more difficult to say.

Song Ru sighed softly, took Ruan Yunqing's hand, held it in his hand, rubbed it lightly, and sighed, "I'll give you whatever you want."

Except for one thing.

Song Ru silently added in his heart, except for leaving me, I can give you everything else, even my life.

Ruan Yunqing was startled, but Song Ju spoke solemnly and always kept his word, and his sentence "I will give you everything" can naturally be fulfilled.

There was a rush of heat in my heart, like drinking wine, with a hint of sweetness.Ruan Yunqing moved his fingers lightly, he thanked Song Bin, then raised his head, looked straight into Song Bin's eyes, shook his head and smiled, "I don't want anything."

As long as you have me in your heart, that's enough.

In the afternoon, Beicheng was still a bustling scene, with endless street hawkers, and bustling noises from the restaurants and teahouses on both sides from time to time.

Song Bin's heart was soft, holding Ruan Yunqing's hand, he couldn't bear to let go, he let himself indulge for a while, then restrained himself, stood up, and ordered: "Go back to the palace!"

There was not much to say on the way, since Ruan Yunqing was troubled for a while after knowing the truth about Hongluan, she never guessed Song Bin's thoughts again.His fate has long been tied to Song Yuan's. Instead of guessing wildly and making himself miserable, it's better to keep the affection in his heart and stay by his side quietly.What is staying together for a lifetime and thinking through their hearts is too distant and extravagant for them today. If the foreign enemy is not clear for a day, their lives will hang on the edge of the knife for a day, and they are wasting their minds for love. If you don't have time, it's better to find a way to do more practical things for Song Ru.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the ninth day of September, and Emperor Hongyou was going to hold a palace banquet in Tingfenglou to celebrate Feng Kui and other border guards.

When the news spread into the harem, the whole palace also followed suit.

After Emperor Hongyou came back from Nanshan, he ignored Concubine De in the cold and favored Concubine Qin. The female family members in the palace were naturally happy to see the success, and sometimes when they got together, they couldn't help but sneer at Concubine De for her age and beauty. No more, it is unavoidable to give way to Qin Zhaorong who is only seventeen.

Concubine De has been favored since she entered the palace. She has swept the harem for so many years, outshine everyone, and has never had an opponent. Now that she has fallen out of favor, one can imagine the ups and downs in her heart.She has long been resentful, and being teased by the concubines like this, how can she not do her best to regain Emperor Hongyou's favor.

In the past few months, the harem has become a battlefield. There is no smoke and fire, but it is still in full swing.Concubine De and Concubine Qin fought fiercely, Concubine De was slightly inferior, and lost to Concubine Qin several times, the anger in her heart was already unbearable.

When Feng Kui returns to the capital, the happiest thing is Concubine De. Her elder brother has made great contributions, and it is easy to be promoted and rewarded. The most important thing is that Emperor Hongyou will love her a little more for his elder brother's sake. .

It was a great opportunity to hold a banquet in the palace. Concubine De dressed up early, thinking that today she must give Qin Ji a good look and make Emperor Hongyou change his mind.

At nightfall, Ruan Yunqing was also ready and communicated with Empress Wei, and after returning, she began to make arrangements for the clothes Song Ren would wear for the evening palace banquet.

"Take out that brocade robe." Ruan Yunqing looked at the clothes in Mo Zhu's hand, shook his head and said, "The weather is changing today, I'm afraid it will be cooler at night, this one is too thin."

Mo Zhu hurriedly went to change it, Hongluan sat at the table with her chin resting on her back, stared at Ruan Yunqing with good eyes, watched him turn around, looked at all the clothes on the bed one by one, picked out the ones that could be worn, Let Mo Zhu put it aside, and just wait for Song Bin to come back from Taifu He, so he can change it.

Hongluan sneered, and even when teasing people, her voice was pleasant to the ear, "I said you were too careful, isn't it just a few clothes, thin and thick, cold and warm, and Song Ru is not made of paper , so what if you freeze overnight?"

Ruan Yunqing turned around, smiled at Hongluan, turned around and was still busy with the clothes.

Hong Luan felt sore in her heart, she couldn't help but sneered again, and said to herself: "What's so great about him? It's just that he knew Yun Qing a few days before me. If we had known each other before, I would never let Yun Qing suffer so much. bitter."

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Song Ruan was not good enough for Ruan Yunqing. Hong Luan stood up, wobbled around to Ruan Yunqing's side, put his arms on his shoulders, half-wrapped Ruan Yunqing into his arms, kneaded his cheeks, and sighed : "Don't just focus on Song Yi, look at yourself, you are so thin that there is no flesh on your face, and your body is a bone, and it will fall when the wind blows. You are not cold. Come, go back to the house with me, Brother will find you a fox fur cloak and bring it with you."

Ruan Yunqing made him tickle and couldn't help struggling.Because of the balm, his body is much better than before. Although there is no flesh on his face, he has grown a lot taller, and his body has become much stronger. His waist and abdomen have been covered with a thin layer of muscles. .

Ruan Yunqing struggled out from Hongluan's hands, and said with a smile, "Let go of me quickly! I still have to rush to prepare things for His Highness to go out."

Hongluan took a breath, and Ruan Yunqing's fresh and clean smell filled her nose, and her mind was swayed by it.He pulled Ruan Yunqing and walked out, not expecting Song Ru to come in from the outside.When the two collided together, Song Ru stared straight at Hong Luan with a sullen face, his face was three points darker than the bottom of the pot.
