Broken Iron Clothes

=====================

When Yuan Mucheng and Jiang Shiqing entered through the door, Wen Yao was observing the calligraphy and paintings on the wall with his hands behind his back, silent as a stone statue.

Seeing those two people, Wen Kaisen stood up to meet them, but was suppressed by the accustomed silence in the front hall, he dared not speak, so he had to give them some glances.But that gaze only stopped elsewhere for a while, and he wanted to look at the little red marks on Jiang Shiqing's neck.

Wen Kaisen felt a burst of enthusiasm, and hurriedly looked away, then pretended to be innocent, and slowly moved to Yuan Mucheng's side, coughing a few times.

"Wild." He tilted his head and said softly.

"Envy?" Yuan Mucheng raised his eyebrows at him, then walked straight forward and saluted Wen Yao.

"Xiao'an met uncle."

Jiang Shiqing followed behind and saluted, "When I was going down the river, Qing met Wen Cifu."

Wen Yao turned around and raised his hand to signal: "You're welcome, the old man Tuo Kaisen led the way this time to deliver a message for His Majesty and Gao Shilang. Is it convenient to talk here?"

Jiang Shiqing said respectfully: "Please Wen Cifu to accompany Jiang to the study. Some things are better discussed behind closed doors."

It is not far from the front hall to the study, and it can be reached after turning two corners.Xu Guo stepped on the roof and followed the crowd all the way to the study room, then sat on the ridge of the roof and waited.

The study room is spacious and bright, and it can be regarded as the elegant orchid in the upper room. There is no shortage of potted plants in the display room. You can see some bright colors in the ink at a glance.The exuberance and the fragrance of books are so complementary, even though the doors and windows are closed, it doesn't look dull.

The four sat in pairs, but no one was in a hurry to speak.Jiang Shiqing poured a few cups of hot tea unhurriedly, and the smoky fragrance of the tea soothed his heart a bit.

Wen Yao supported the body of the cup and said: "This old man is straightforward, he doesn't like to be twisted, so he can speak directly when he has something to say."

"Please." Jiang Shiqing said.

Wen Yao said: "Your Majesty's illness was intentional this time. The only people present in the Yingchen Hall today are the old man and Gao Shilang who know about it."

Yuan Mucheng said: "What's your majesty's intention, please ask uncle to give some advice."

"The purpose of this old man's visit today is to tell your Majesty what your intentions are."

Wen Yao brushed off the water stains on his fingertips, straightened his sleeves, and said solemnly: "Peng Yan is responsible for the crime in the yellow book library, and the re-recording of the book can be postponed. In addition, the dragon's body is ill. As far as the family is concerned, the most urgent threat right now is the review by the Overwatch Council, but the review has not been disturbed for a long time, what do you think will happen to Yi Zhonghou and Yin Wang?"

Wen Kaisen first continued: "People are eager to rebel, and dogs are anxious to jump over the wall. Before there is any definite evidence, it is natural to keep their hearts at ease."

Wen Yao glanced sideways at him, and Wen Kaisen fell silent knowingly, and just silently raised his glass and sipped hot tea.

But it is indeed as what Wen Kaisen said, Liu Zhaoyu did this to widen Feng's heart, in order to achieve his purpose of playing hard to catch, he wanted to use the illusion he created by pretending to be stupid all these years, to deceive Feng Ruoping logically, after all, no matter how absurd It was only natural that the stupid things fell on him, Liu Zhaoyu.

It's just that since he asked Wen Yao to speak, he must have something to entrust to them. Jiang Shiqing guessed a little bit, and asked, "What Wen Cifu is going to say next is about 'evidence'?"

Wen Yao said: "Yes, but there is only one thing I want to say - sand snakes can be caught."

The eyes of Yuan Mucheng and Jiang Shiqing collided almost at the same time, but the surprise revealed was only hidden in the eyes looking at each other, not missing a single bit.

But Wen Yao was able to capture the tacit understanding between them.

He glanced at those two people, and said slowly: "You don't have to be surprised, although the Sand Snake was mentioned by His Majesty, Grand Master Jiang had asked me to talk about the matter of Jaecheng infiltrating into the inner line of Damo, which is exactly the answer. I was willing to intervene in this matter because of his request, otherwise why would I feel comfortable saying these things in front of Young Master Jiang today?"

Hearing this, Jiang Shiqing's mood moved slightly, he thought about Jiang Yu almost every day and night.

He didn't know that Jiang Yu had specifically sought out Wen Yao before leaving Jacheng, so now when he heard that address from Wen Yao's mouth, he was not prepared at all, and the corner left in his heart for that person was empty and a little uneasy.He stretched out his fingers to feel the body of the cup, so he had to drink two more sips of hot tea to ease his mind.

Wen Yao went on to say: "The household registration is changed every three years. Even if there is no such incident in the Yellow Book Library that day, the Ministry of Household Affairs will still urge the local prefectures to report the local population, land and taxes to the city as soon as possible in the coming year. When verifying the changes in the past three years and re-registering the register, since Sand Snakes have escaped the last household registration review, the effect of re-registering the register is not very effective, the key is to find the loopholes when they assumed their top identities.”

Jiang Shiqing said: "Wen Cifu don't worry, Yemen Zhuang is confident that it can be done."

Wen Yao replied: "Young Master Jiang's situation has been mentioned to me by Grand Master Jiang, so I can trust this, so I have to thank Young Master Jiang for this matter."

Jiang Shiqing nodded and said, "Wen Cifu is polite."

Wen Yao smiled back, turned to Yuan Mucheng and said, "As for Xiao'an, you and General Lu secretly searched for sand snakes, are you sure to catch them all?"

"I'm sure," Yuan Mucheng said, "but isn't Your Majesty worried that after Sand Snake is arrested, Mrs. Feng will notice something?"

Wen Yao said: "Your Majesty has something to say, someone will stop the relationship between Feng Shi and Sand Snake. You just arrest and don't worry about it."

"clear."

Yuan Mucheng nodded in response, his ups and downs couldn't be calmed down for a while, as if seeing a man with his head covered and calling for help suddenly drew his sword to open the way for him.Because he never thought that this person would be Liu Zhaoyu.

"The old man's words have been brought, so it is inconvenient to keep them," Wen Yao got up and straightened his clothes, "Kaisen, let's go."

Wen Kaisen followed, and when he came to the door, he heard Yuan Mucheng suddenly yell.

"uncle."

Wen Yao stopped and looked back, only to see Yuan Mucheng standing behind him, kneeling on the ground with his robe lifted.

"The people of Xiao'an speak lightly, and can only thank Master Cifu for his patriotism and compassion for the people of the Jingping Palace and the Xuanhe Army."

Yuan Mucheng kowtowed solemnly, not only for himself, but also for others.

He knew that Wen Yao couldn't let go of Wen Yu, who was regarded as a victim because of his power, and he wanted to avoid the court to keep the mansion stable. But now he is willing to re-enter the court to assist Jingping Palace and Liu Zhaoyu to clear up To rebel against the party has already chosen the latter between personal enmity and family and country.

There was some heat in Wen Yao's eyes, he paused for a moment, and said: "I will not let go of the resentment I have caused because of Ayu, this time it is only because of Jiang Taishi's entrustment, the remaining bit of dog-horse heart will come back. I'm ready to move. Maybe after these years of gloom, there is still a bright future for Da Li, I only hope that I can still be worthy of your thanks today."

Just as he turned his head to leave, another voice came: "Wen Cifu."

Jiang Shiqing walked up to Yuan Mucheng's side and also knelt down straight.

"Huaichuan thanked Mr. Cifu for his help on behalf of Grand Master Jiang. Dali has a long way to go. Although Mingjun is hard to find, the innocent heart preserved by loyal ministers in the turbulent wind and clouds is even more precious. I hope that your original intention will remain the same and you can work together with Dali. into prosperity."

Wen Yao turned around slowly. He looked at Jiang Shiqing for a long time before walking up to the man, and raised his palm to lightly cover his head.

"During your first birthday, I met you once in Prince Wei Xu's mansion, and now King Wei Xu still has such a good seedling under his knee...very good, very good."

Wen Yao sighed for a long time, looking down at Jiang Shiqing, feeling sore in his heart.

He could feel that he was touching tens of thousands of human lives through the palm of his hand, and those wailing sounds far away in the western region must have disturbed that person's peace day and night.The accumulated blood and tears were so thick that they were all carried on him alone.

"Before the fall of the western border, King Wei Xu was alerted and sent a letter to the city of Yu for help. The late emperor, worried that the northern border would not be invaded by the Wusen tribe and the Balang tribe, blocked Xuanhe's army from sending troops to aid the west, which indirectly led to the subsequent war. tragedy..."

Wen Yao folded his hands behind his back and let out a sigh.

"The bloody enmity of Wei Ning's battle is far greater than the burden on my heart. You can temporarily relieve yourself and defend the Dali country for the Liu family. What reason can I turn a blind eye to these traitors and thieves?"

-

After Wen Yao left, it was almost sunset.

After dinner, the bright moon had emitted a clear and soft light. Yuan Mucheng came out of the bathroom, looked up to see the moonlight, walked along the stone steps to the courtyard with ecstasy, stopped and watched silently.

The moon in the city is framed by high walls and locked in the corners of the scattered eaves. It is not like what Yuzhou sees, there is such a large space for it to run around.

But the moon in his eyes, even if it hangs in the sky above Yuzhou, is still bound by many things, which makes him feel lost.

He forgot that Yuan Mucheng would become Yuan Xiao'an after many years of absence, and Liu Zhaoyu would also become another Liu Zhaoyu.For the sake of the reputation of Prince Jingping's mansion and the lives of those around him, he has to learn to be like Yuan Haoxun, pretending not to see Wen Yu's death clearly, and instead protect the country for the descendants who killed their mother and enemies.

He still has to go to the west, wearing iron armor and carrying a heavy knife, far, far away from his Jiang Shiqing...

Yuan Mucheng looked at it for a long time, just because the moonlight cast a veil in front of his eyes, and it was like a melancholy that could not be removed from his heart.

The water droplets hanging on his body were blown cold by the wind, he endured a shiver, and his hairs stood up.

A pair of hands with an outer shirt just right came from behind him.Yuan Mucheng raised his hand to caress the arm in front of him, and the corners of his lips slowly raised.

"Hold for a while." Jiang Shiqing said against his back.

But Jiang Shiqing's hands were cold, and the man obviously couldn't even cover himself warmly, but he still wanted to give him all the warmth.

With that in mind, Yuan Mucheng loosened his collar and put Jiang Shiqing's hand in his arms to cover it, wanting to unreservedly send out the only warmth he had at the moment.

"Hold for a while." Yuan Mucheng said.

The touching skin was warm, Jiang Shiqing pressed his pulse to Yuan Mucheng's heart, and poured out all his love with the beating sound.

"I love you, Xiao'an." Jiang Shiqing said.

The tulle in front of Yuan Mucheng's eyes seemed to be shaken off.

He clasped Jiang Shiqing's arm tightly, and then heard the man say again: "I miss my husband, and I also miss my father, mother and brothers, just like you miss my mother."

Jiang Shiqing grasped the measure and landed on his heart.

Exactly.

"And," Jiang Shiqing tiptoed to kiss the back of his neck, "I don't want to leave you either."
