across mountains and seas

The night covered the entire Lidu, and thousands of houses were lit like beans. No matter how fierce the war outside was, the place was still as prosperous as ever.

Nie Guang rode his horse through the imperial street, turned into an alley and walked more than ten steps, then stopped the horse, turned over and jumped off the horse's back, handed the reins to the boy who had been waiting for a long time, holding the whip, Walked into the depths of the alley.

Pushing open the door, sister Nie Su greeted her.

Nie Guang's face was livid, and he seemed to be in a bad mood.

Nie Su closed the door silently, quickly followed Nie Guang into the main hall, and served the prepared hot tea.

Nie Guang took the hot tea and squinted at Nie Su, "You shouldn't have come back in the first place."

"Almost all the sons of the Dongjing family have run away. It's really boring for me to stay in Haicheng and deal with Aunt Hong every day." Nie Su felt extremely frustrated every time he thought of failing to hook up with Jing Lan.

Nie Guang said displeased: "You should have the cheek to stay. Now you will know whether the eldest princess is in the hands of the Dongjing family or not?"

"Why am I brazen enough to stay? It's approaching New Year's Eve, and Aunt Hong is going to Donglin City for a family reunion. The master is gone, and I still brazenly stay here. Isn't this...isn't there no silver in this place?" Nie Su said. He became displeased for a while, sat aside, and sighed, "If I miss one hit, I will definitely not be able to hook any of the sons of the Donghai Clan."

Nie Guang frowned and suddenly fell silent.

Nie Su felt that something was wrong with his brother today, "Did something happen in the palace?"

Nie Guang shook his head, "Everything is calm, so calm that it makes me feel uneasy."

"What's wrong?" Nie Su asked in confusion.

"Cao Yang is seriously injured, and has been raised in the son-in-law's mansion for the past few days." Nie Guang looked at Nie Su seriously, "The spies went to many people, but they have not found out the whereabouts of Eleven Niang. Cao Yang is as quiet as a dumb dog at this time. The more you think about it, the more strange it is. He is the emperor's son-in-law, under one person, above ten thousand people, and an assassin's assassination is a big deal. If the assassin is executed, he should show his head to the public, so as to warn the people of the world not to defy the law."

Nie Su was shocked when he heard that, "Could it be that Eleven Niang is not dead?"

Nie Guang can only think of this only possibility, "She is one of the best spies in Qianzhulou. If she turns against Cao Yang temporarily, I am afraid that Cao Yang will use her injuries to hide behind the scenes, and her purpose is to deal with us in Qianzhulou."

Nie Su took a deep breath, "Brother, if you can think of this, Second Uncle must also be able to think of this." Suddenly Nie Guang's eyes hit him like a thorn, Nie Su was startled, and quickly explained, "My It means, Second Uncle, he..."

"He always calls me an idiot, do you also think my elder brother is an idiot?" Nie Guang's expression became even uglier.

Nie Su didn't dare to speak too much, so he could only lower his head.

"There are priorities. Qianzhulou is my grandfather's lifelong painstaking effort. Although I hate my second uncle, we can't turn against each other at this time." Nie Guang only hates Nie Zhong for always being on guard against him. The young master who didn't let him know, now he has the same heart and mind to tell the outside world, but Nie Zhong doesn't seem to need him.

"Brother, what if we use a knife to kill someone?" Nie Su asked in a deep voice.

"How do you borrow a knife to kill people?" Nie Guang asked irritably.

Nie Su approached Nie Guang and explained the strategy to Nie Guang in a low voice.Nie Guang was a little hesitant at first, but when he heard the back, the corner of his mouth slightly raised a smile, "I didn't know that you girl is a bit heavy."

"It was Xue Qingxian who rescued the eldest princess. She is also a master of our Qianzhulou. She must know what your status is in Qianzhulou, brother." Nie Su smiled triumphantly, "I'm afraid now She didn't betray Qianzhulou, and she sent the eldest princess to Xiyang City and turned back."

"I'm even more afraid that she won't be able to send the eldest princess to Xiyang City." Nie Guang sighed softly, "If the eldest princess dies, sister, you will have nowhere to do this move."

Nie Su said firmly: "Don't underestimate her, she is the third elder's most proud disciple, and she is also the person who is most familiar with the operation of our Qianzhulou spies." Then, Nie Su looked at the moonlight outside the court, "With three It is impossible for the elder to have no news these days, so I think he must have missed it."

As soon as Nie Su finished speaking, a white dove flew down into the courtyard.

The boy caught the white pigeon, took off the envelope, and brought it in respectfully.

Nie Guang took the envelope and waved his hand to signal the boy to leave.

He waited for the boy to walk away, then opened the envelope, and after reading it, he said coldly, "Sister, you are really smart, the third elder really missed."

Nie Su's smile became stronger, "So, the eldest princess must have arrived in Xiyang City safely."

Nie Guang twirled the envelope between his fingers, and made up his mind, "Sister, you have to grasp this opportunity to get close to the little governor."

"I used to be watched by Liu Xi all the time, so I couldn't do anything." Nie Su thought that Liu Xi had died in the Xishan Liu family, and she thought that Jing Lan was only a 17-year-old boy, so she couldn't believe that she couldn't seduce this little one. cat.

There is no cat in the world that is not greedy. As long as it is a man, she does not believe that it cannot seduce the soul.

"Brother, look at me this time."

"Ah!"

Somehow today?It was clear that she hadn't contracted the cold, Jing Lan's ears were just burning, but she couldn't help sneezing all the time.

"Have you caught the cold?" Liu Xi, sitting opposite her, asked with concern, and covered her forehead with her hand, "I'll let my sister show you when she comes."

Jing Lan rubbed her nose and said with a smile, "It's okay." As she spoke, she glanced at Liu Xi's writing paper, "Let me see what Xi'er wrote?"

Liu Xi tapped Jing Lan's forehead with a brush, "It's agreed that we will do our own business tonight. See how many government affairs you have to deal with?" She squinted at the letter on Jing Lan's left hand, at least There are dozens more.

Jin Shoujiang replied to the letter, and after preparing for the defense of Guancheng, he set off for Xiyang City to take over Xishen Prefecture, so that Jing Lan could return to East Fuzhou with Princess Eldest.Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang were not in Xiyang City these few days, and they made a special trip to meet Jin Shoujiang.With the loss of two capable helpers, Jing Lan handles the military and political affairs of the two states by herself. This is the third day, and there are still so many of these grievances.

Jing Lan frowned, and sighed: "The governor has to deal with so many papers every day, wouldn't the Emperor be exhausted to death?"

"You still want to be emperor?" Liu Xi's eyes lit up, hiding a look of surprise.

Jing Lan asked with a smile, "Does Xi'er want to be a queen?"

Liu Xi put down the brush and looked at her playfully with her chin poised, "Tsk tsk, do you still want to have a harem of three thousand beauties?"

Jing Lan also put down the brush, staring fixedly at Liu Xi, "One stream is fine."

Liu Xi smiled hoarsely, and asked earnestly, "Alan, do you really want to be the emperor?"

"I don't want to." Jing Lan took her hand and held it tightly, "When the sun is too tired, I guard against this and that every day. If I am tired, you will be very tired. I don't want you to be older than me." White hair."

"The most difficult thing is actually you." Liu Xi pretended to be helpless, "The emperors of all dynasties, which one is not the Sangong and Six Courts? Even if you don't want to, there are courtiers who insist on giving you a few women..." Liu Xi endured Standing up with a smile, she walked up to Jing Lan, sat in Jing Lan's arms, and pulled Jing Lan's palm over her lower abdomen, "Every day the queen has no children, the harem will be full of beauties every day. Tell me, don't you worry?" worry?"

"How can I make the girl's family pregnant?" Jing Lan hugged Liu Xi tightly and sighed heavily.Not to mention that the emperor has no heirs, it is impossible for her to have an heir when she is the head of the family.Now that she and Liu Xi are not married, this matter can be put aside, but if they are married, this matter will become a troublesome matter.

"Xi'er, I'm sorry." Jing Lan had mixed feelings.

Liu Xi smiled, turned around and hooked her neck, and said in a gentle voice: "Don't worry, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and you can always think of a way." As she spoke, she smiled slightly, and said with emotion: "Mother is just because of birth. I died in a broken body, and to be honest, I've been terrified of it since I was a kid."

"Xi'er." Jing Lan felt distressed when she heard it, and couldn't help but leaned forward and pressed her forehead, "I will treat you well, very well."

Liu Xi lightly rubbed the tip of her nose, "Silly girl."

"Dong dong."

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the study.

Liu Xi hurriedly got off Jing Lan's body, straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes, and asked, "Is it a girl?"

Shen Jiangli pushed the door open, poked his head first, and took a look inside, "Yes, me."

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Is Your Highness awake?"

Shen Jiangli nodded.

Liu Xi smiled, "I'll go and have a look."

Jing Lan stood up and said anxiously, "I'll go too!"

Liu Xi pressed Jing Lan and said in a solemn voice, "You deal with these papers first."

"Xi'er..." Jing Lan looked at her eagerly.

"You have your battlefield, and I have mine." Liu Xi smiled, and tapped the paper she had written on three times, "I'll ask you when I come back, do you know what I want to do? If I can't answer... Tomorrow you will handle the papers alone, and I will not accompany you."

She had reached this point in her words, and Jing Lan couldn't say anything more, so she could only softly ask, "Be careful."

"There's a girl here, don't worry." After Liu Xi finished speaking, she walked to the door, took Shen Jiangli's hand, and went to the small courtyard where Chu Xi was.

Jing Lan looked down at the paper that Liuxi had written all night. Wei was written on the upper left, Chasing the Deer was written on the upper right, and Jing was written on the bottom. A circle was drawn in the middle, and only two strokes were written in the center of the circle. Find out what the word is.

Where does Jing Lan have the mind to deal with government affairs?Xi'er only wrote a few words in one night, what is her so-called "battlefield"?

After thinking about it, Jing Lan said with a dumb smile: "If you don't accompany me, then I will accompany you."

At worst, if she climbed a window with a stack of papers in her arms, Xi'er could be considered as accompanying her.

With this in mind, she folded the paper and put it in her arms, straightened her slightly wrinkled skirt, and hurried to the small courtyard where Chu Xi was.

Jing Yuan and Jin Lingdang were not in the government office these few days, so the task of patrolling the government office fell on Uncle Jing Jiu and Jing Huan.It happened that Jing Huan was on duty tonight. When he saw Jing Lan's figure, he happily chased after him with his sword.

"Little five!"

Jing Lan turned her head and said, "Fourth brother, what's the matter?"

"Does it have to be something to call you?"

"I did not mean that……"

"Third brother is busy, you are busy, even sister Shen is busy, I am almost bored to death."

"I'm going to His Highness's side right now, I have business to do!"

"Take me one!"

"it is good……"

Jing Lan shook her head helplessly.
