Enemy proton must be pregnant with the cub of the regent

It's not that Xie Yan doesn't want to come back to collect debts, but that he really can't get out of his family.

The resumption of the court meeting, naturally, as Pei Jun said, many officials made it difficult for Xie Yan, but this is good, Xie Yan was mentally prepared, and he could handle it easily, not to mention the little emperor speaking for him, nothing major happened trouble.

All the ministers asked to meet the Prince Regent, but Xie Yan refused all of them on the grounds that the prince was injured and needed to rest.

Those who looked down on Pei Jun in the past, now think of the Prince Regent. Instead, they looked at Xie Yan, a powerful minister of a foreign race, as if they could peel him alive.Others scolded him, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different."

Xie Yan didn't feel annoyed, it was quite interesting.

It seems that no matter whether it is a country or a family, if things go well for a long time, they tend to be scattered. If they want to be twisted together, they have to find some incentives for them.

Now Xie Yan is the stimulus, the catfish in the fish box.

Not mentioning the affairs of the court, but there was something that tripped Xie Yan.

It was the Yanling Guards who were sent south to look for the little princess of Nanye. They sent back news that they had found the princess and her current adoptive parents and were escorting her to Beijing.

Speaking of this matter, it is still related to court affairs.

This summer has been extremely hot and rainy, and many places in the south have experienced floods, especially in Hongyao County. The river embankment broke down and nearly half of the city was flooded.Previously, Pei Jun had approved the documents and sent an imperial envoy for water control.However, the government and businessmen in Hongyao County colluded and deceived the top and bottom. The brick mud used to repair the embankment was mixed with sand. The imperial envoys failed to detect it in time, so that the project was halfway through, and the river embankment collapsed for the second time, drowning more than a dozen strong men. .

These strong men were temporarily arrested by the county government from various households. The people had long been angry with the government, and after the accident, the government still took some money to pay them off.The second collapse of the embankment became the trigger, causing public resentment, and the people were provoked by others. In just ten days, a thousand-strong rebel army was assembled and occupied the Yamen by force.

The imperial envoy is indeed a good hand in water control, but he is a civil servant, not good at speaking and martial arts, and he is hindered by the local corrupt officials.

Fortunately, the Yanling Guard passed through Hongyao County, rescued the imperial envoy and others, and mobilized some people with tokens, suppressed the rioters, and captured several traitors who were the leader who secretly provoked the people.

The imperial envoy wrote a booklet to report the matter, and asked for relief supplies and pension money, and escorted several villains back to Beijing for trial.

The rest of the rioters were instigated civilians who were educated and released. Among them was a man. When he was released from prison, he heard several Yanlingwei adults inquiring about a person. The orphan girl who was born in the country that year is about thirteen or fourteen years old. There is an old woman by her side. When the orphan girl is lost, the only token she keeps is a swaddling cloth embroidered with ostriches.

The man recognized that what they were looking for was his adopted daughter, so he led Yan Lingwei home to see her, and showed them the swaddling cloth that had been treasured for many years.

It's just that the old nanny who took care of the girl before died of illness.

Yan Lingwei saw that the age was right, the experience was right, and the infancy was right, so he immediately sent one person to bring the message back, and the rest took the family back to Yujing.

After Xie Yan left, Chaogang summoned some of the courtiers named by Pei Jun in the imperial study, and when he heard the news brought back by Yan Lingwei, he was very excited. He heard that the family had just traveled to Yanyang, because the little girl fell ill. I couldn't make it to the road, so I stayed in the inn to recuperate.

Yanyang is only three days' journey away from Yujing, Xie Yan couldn't wait any longer, and he didn't have time to change his clothes, so he hurriedly pulled a fast horse and headed straight for Yanyang.

Xie Yan wanted to see his younger sister wholeheartedly, so he rode his horse fast and traveled day and night, until the horses were so breathless that they finally arrived at the inn in Yanyang in just one day and one night.

The Yanling Guards who were guarding him saluted one after another when they saw him coming.

Because the little girl was very likely to be the little princess of Nanye, Yan Lingwei didn't dare to neglect, so he booked the whole inn.At this time, a man was sitting in the lobby of the inn, with one foot on a stool, and a brocade suit that didn't fit very well.

Xie Yan got a little dizzy from the sun exposure, got off the horse, and before he had time to take a sip of water, he was pulled aside by a Yanling guard outside the door.

The other party was slightly surprised: "Master Hou, why are you here wearing an official uniform?"

But that's not important, Yanling Wei nu pouted, and whispered in disgust: "Master Hou, the man inside is the adoptive father of the little princess. It's not because he is—" He quickly stopped talking, "Anyway, you should be careful when you go there."

Xie Yan glanced at the man and asked, "Where's the little girl?"

Yan Lingwei pointed to the upstairs: "With her mother... adoptive mother, rest upstairs. The adoptive mother is okay, she is honest."

Xie Yan nodded, and took out a pouch full of gold and silver beads: "Thank you for your hard work, take these, go buy some wine and vegetables later, and rest your legs."

"This is not going to work!" Yan Lingwei was so flattered that he declined a few words and took the money bag happily.Just as I was going to share with my brothers, I was stopped by Ping Anhou.

Xie Yan helped the hair crown: "Look at me, my clothes and hair, are they still neat?"

Yan Lingwei swept up and down: "Handsome! Master Hou is very handsome!"

Xie Yan pursed his lips and smiled, and waved him to go. Standing outside the inn door, he took a few deep breaths, rubbed his face, and then mustered up the courage to step in.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he approached, a hoof bone was thrown down, and it just landed on the edge of his boot, Xie Yan took half a step aside.

The style of the official soap boots was similar, the man caught a glimpse of a pair of black boots out of the corner of his eye, and thought they were Yan Lingwei, he licked his greasy fingers and yelled: "Master officers and soldiers, where is the wine I want, if there is no wine, our family can leave Don't move!" He burped while talking, "This oily hoof is not, not bad! Another one!"

Xie Yan saw that two wine jugs had already been poured on his table, so he still wanted to drink.

No wonder Yan Lingwei had such a disgusted expression when he mentioned this person.

Xie Yanqing coughed.

After eating the hoof, the man was grabbing Xuanruan's steamed buns with his hands. Hearing this sound, he glanced impatiently, only to see a big red robe.Even if he is a commoner, he knows that those who wear the big red robe are nobles just by listening to the storybook.

He was so frightened that he knelt down on the ground with a clang, and kowtowed, "Ouch, Mr. Guanguan!"

The steamed bun in his hand hit Xie Yan's foot, he kowtowed, and wanted to wipe Xie Yan's dirty shoes with his greasy hands, but Xie Yan avoided it calmly.

"You don't have to worship me."

Seeing this, the man didn't come any closer. He got up on his own, turned his eyes around, and looked at Xie Yan secretly, then showed his yellow teeth, and eagerly dragged the wide stool next to him: "My lord The name of the grassroots is Gu Gui. Is the old master here to pick up my girl?"

Before Xie Yan could make a sound, the man had already shouted to the top: "Madam! Let the girl come down! The elder is here to pick her up!"

After a while, a reply came from upstairs: "...Got it!"

That being the case, Xie Yan had no choice but to suppress his emotions. He glanced at the stool that had been smeared with oily palms of the man, pursed his lips, and moved to another stool to sit on.He was on his way all night, he was thirsty, but when he saw the teapot on the table and the man eating again, he held back his thirst no matter how thirsty he was, and said calmly: "No hurry, if the girl is not feeling well, let her rest first."

Gu Gui grinned: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way! Here we come."

Not long after, there was a creaking sound in the guest room upstairs, and a commoner woman led a young girl down. The little girl was wearing a clean but simple cloth skirt, but was skinny, holding a piece of brocade in her arms, more than half of her body. When I hid behind my mother, I almost couldn't see it.

When Xie Yan saw the embroidered cloth, his heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously stood up, but he didn't want to lose his composure, so he just observed it quietly for a while.

As soon as he went downstairs, Gu Gui pulled out his daughter, pushed her towards Xie Yan, flatteringly said: "My lord, this is the orphan girl."

The little girl should be thirteen according to her age, but she is a bit shorter, thin and weak, as if she would fall down when the wind blows, and her complexion is not good-looking, yellow and black.After being pushed out by Gu Gui, she was so frightened that she wanted to grab her mother's hand, but she couldn't catch it, so she lowered her head timidly and called out "Master".

Xie Yan bowed down, took the piece of embroidered cloth and took a closer look. The embroidery pattern on it was indeed the handicraft of the concubine's mother. His eyes couldn't help sore. He turned his eyes away and calmed down for a moment, then turned his head and whispered softly: " Don't be afraid, what's your name?"

The little girl looked up at him, it was the first time she saw such a good-looking person, she was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly lowered her eyes: "Little sister..."

Gu Gui secretly pinched her behind her back.

The little girl hurriedly changed her words: "My nickname is... Tuanyuan."

Gu Gui smiled and said, "Yes, yes, reunion."

Xie Yan frowned, ordered people to separate Gu Gui, and only led the little girl to sit in front of him, and said gently as if afraid of shocking her: "Is there an old mother who took care of you before? Did she take care of you?" What did I tell you? Or leave you something?"

The little girl first turned her head to look at Gu Gui, then looked at her mother, and whispered: "She, she said, I have a lost brother in the north, let, let me go find him. I have one piece, one piece Bu, she said it was left to me by my mother... and said that my brother is here..." She looked at Gu Gui again, "he is a high official in the capital."

The woman opened her mouth hesitantly, but did not speak after all, and looked at the little girl uneasily.

Gu Gui nodded, grinned at Xie Yan, rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's what happened, my lord."

Xie Yan's eyes were sharp, and he didn't miss the woman's expression for a moment, and his eyes sank in an instant: "Benhouyun, have you spoken? Drag it on."

Somehow, Gu Gui had such a change, his expression changed, and before he could say "Master", he was gagged by Yanling Wei and dragged him down.Seeing the man in the family being dragged away with his hands twisted, the woman's expression changed drastically, and she immediately knelt down and tremblingly begged Xie Yan for mercy.

Seeing this, the little girl also knelt on the ground.

Xie Yan closed his eyes, his good temper dissipated in an instant, he just felt tired, and said coldly: "Say! One more lie, I pulled out the tongues of your family."

The woman on the ground turned pale with fright, shook her head, and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, this child is indeed not the one you are looking for. The woman knows the girl you are looking for. The woman has indeed raised her for two years. But she, she...she was sold by that murderer a few years ago..."

"What? Make it clear!" Xie Yan jumped up.

The woman hurriedly pulled the girl over, and the mother and daughter were both panicked. The mother wiped her tears and said, "This is my own daughter, called little sister. My man died in the battle of Nanye. I ran away with my younger sister and made a living by washing for people. Later, I met an old woman in a village. She also brought a girl of about the same age, called Tuanyuan. The girl was white, tender and beautiful. The lady who escaped."

"That old woman will pamper Tuanyuan with any good things. I was a neighbor to them at that time, and my younger sister often played with that girl. But the old woman was very old and sick all over. Before she died, she entrusted Tuanyuan to her. Give it to me, and tell me to hand over the swaddle to her when the reunion is big, and let her go to Yujing to find her brother."

Hearing this, Xie Yan clenched his nails tightly in his hands.

The woman's eyes were red from crying: "I took two girls and walked northward, but our village is far away from Yujing. I am a woman who knows nothing, and I have only walked for two months, and I took the money. The money is gone, I really can't afford to support two children... At that time, I met Gu Gui, who promised me to take care of the children and bring the reunion to the capital. I believed his words for a while, and remarried He, who would have thought of him, he was actually..."

The little girl hugged her mother's arm and said in a low voice, "He is bad, he drinks every day, he beats my mother, beats me and makes reunion..."

Xie Yan's expression turned cold.

The woman hugged her daughter, sniffled and said, "If it doesn't go his way, he threatens to kill us, he is really capable of it!"

She rolled up her sleeves and showed Xie Yan the bruises on her body, "I hid the swaddle cloth well, but he found it when he was rummaging through the box for money, and forced me to say where the good material came from. I won't tell you." , he is going to beat us to death... My lord, I really have no choice but to talk about Tuanyuan's life experience, but I don't say much, really!"

Xie Yan didn't want to hear this, so he asked in a deep voice, "Where is Tuanyuan now?"

The woman choked up and said: "A few years ago, I went out to do laundry work one day, and when I came back, I saw Gu Gui counting the money in the house. I asked him where the money came from, and he said, said, raise two It's useless to lose money, and wanted to sell both girls, but the man didn't like the little girl, only the beautiful reunion of Shui Ling... I also looked for reunion, but I really couldn't find it, that guy Ren Yazi left early, and Tuanyuan doesn't know where he was sold."

She paused: "A while ago you sent someone to look for relatives, Gu Gui heard about it, and felt that the people who came from Beijing were either rich or noble, so he was greedy and forced the younger sister to pretend to be a reunion identity to recognize relatives. I didn't dare, and my little sister didn't want to, but he forced us with a knife, and we were really scared of being beaten..."

"I'm ashamed, that old lady treated us so well and entrusted the young lady to me, but I lost it." The woman looked sad and knocked her head heavily on the ground, "I'm sorry, my lord , you want to kill or cut, and the women will admit it! I just ask you to let the little girl live, this matter has nothing to do with her..."

The little girl kept crying when she saw that her mother had knocked her head off.

Xie Yan's eyelashes trembled, and there was a deep ache in his heart. He had just received some news about his blood relatives, and he had some hope, and this meager hope was met by... a local rascal, a despicable and shameless villain, ruthless... Crushed.

The mother and daughter were still crying, Xie Yan closed his eyes: "...don't cry." He was annoyed, he didn't cry when he should have cried, why should they cry, feeling angry, he swept down the cup in his hand , A piece of broken porcelain fell to the ground, "Shut up!"

The mother and daughter covered their mouths in horror for a moment, and the Yanling guards who guarded the gate also rushed in: "Master Hou?"

"Take them down." Xie Yan was tired, he stood up and swayed, "Find me a room, I think, I want to sleep for a while."

Yan Lingwei was frightened by his scarlet eyes, felt chills for no reason, but dared not speak, and silently took the mother and daughter back to the room to be guarded.

With such a bumpy road, Xie Yan felt that every bone in his body was crying out for pain.

Yan Lingwei helped him upstairs, he fell on the bed and fell asleep.

In the dream, there seemed to be spider webs crawling on his chest, densely wrapped around his heart, so that he could only slightly relieve it by clenching his heart and the skirt of his clothes.

In the scorching summer, he felt cold all over his body. He could vaguely hear the voice of his concubine mother calling him. The concubine mother was standing in a pool of misty water, covered in blood and asked him: The country is broken, why are you alive, but why are you still alive? Didn't protect my sister?

"I don't know, Concubine Mu...I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

When he was submerged in a nightmare and was so uncomfortable that it was difficult to breathe, a warm palm gently stroked the top of his hair and rubbed it gently.

Another voice, low and gentle, said in his ear: "It's not your fault... Do you still want to sleep? You've been asleep for so long, just wake up."

The voice is like a trickle, soft-soft and warm.

Xie Yan curled up his body, rubbed against the palm that was stroking him, opened his eyes in a daze, saw a figure beside him, raised his heavy eyelids, and met a pair of deep eyes of a man.

The man sat on the edge of the bed, fanning lightly with one hand, for an unknown how long he had been sitting like this.

A curtain fence was buckled on the table, and a small tea stove was gurgling beside it.

Probably the nightmare was gone, and the vertical lines between his eyebrows were also loosened. Seeing that he woke up, the man got up and poured a cup of tea, poured a piece of ice into the cup, and brought it to his lips.

Xie Yan was still a little dazed, and when he moved, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart. He sat up with the help of the other party's hand, lowered his head and bit the side of the cup to drink some water.After taking a sip, he frowned, the bitterness returned to sweetness, with a slight herbal smell, but he was really thirsty, and after swallowing it, he congealed his thoughts and looked at the man who fed him the water: " ... Goro?"

"Why are you here. I'm..." Xie Yan had a headache and couldn't tell where he was.

"In Yanyang." Pei Jun rubbed him, "You've been sleeping for two days, are you hungry?"

Xie Yan was stunned: "Two days?"

Pei Jun looked at him for a while: "The doctor said that you were in a hurry, and you galloped in the hot sun, and you were hurt by the heat. You had a nightmare again, and you couldn't wake up from it." He poured another glass and added ice. Tea with a strange taste, "Cheap tea, drink some more."

Xie Yan gulped it down in a gulp. The tea was cold, with a refreshing aftertaste, which swept away the heavy feeling covered in his head.

He was tired and wanted to lift his legs to change his position, but felt that the inside of the horse was a little hot. He frowned, and his eyes showed a little embarrassment.

The words Pei Jun wanted to blame him reached his lips and he couldn't utter them. Finally, he sighed lightly. He leaned over and held Xie Yan in his arms, and said in a deep voice, "If there is anything you can't discuss with Gu first. Come again? Do you know how worried Gu is about you."

When he got the news from Yan Lingwei, when he rushed over, he heard Xie Yan having nightmares and talking in his sleep. He knew how sad Xie Yan was, but he couldn't help it. How uncomfortable he felt.

Xie Yan knew that his trip was hasty, but: "I, I'm impatient..."

When he heard that his sister was just around the corner, why couldn't he resist coming?

Pei Jun didn't mention that family's mess, and helped him to apply medicine to the worn parts of his horse. By the time Xie Yan realized it, he had already ripped off his underwear.

Xie Yan is delicate and fleshy, and has not ridden or shot for many years. This time, he rode a fast horse for a whole day and night. At this time, he was so sore that he didn't want to move. A cool ointment was applied to the skin.

Xie Yan looked at the man who was meticulously administering medicine to him, and asked softly, "You just left the palace regardless? Aren't you afraid of being discovered by spies?"

Pei Jun glanced at him sideways, and his subordinates were punishing him severely, causing Xie Yan's leg muscles to tremble in pain: "Then what can be done, compared to those, you are more important."

Xie Yan was speechless, silently watching him finish applying the medicine, and then spread a towel around his waist.

Pei Jun didn't sleep either, his eyes looked tired.

After a while, Xie Yan lowered his eyes and said in frustration: "Did I cause you trouble... Sorry, I won't be so impulsive next time."

In the current situation, this time he did something wrong.

He shouldn't have lost his judgment as soon as he heard the news of the reunion.

Pei Jun will soon lead an army to go to the western border, if he loses his mind so easily, how can he let him rest assured that Yu Jing's rear will be handed over to him?

After being silent for a while, Pei Jun put down the ointment, came over and kissed him lightly on the hair: "I should say sorry to you."

Pei Jun pressed his tense muscles and bones, and seemed to know what he was thinking: "You have done a good job, very good. Not everything in this world has to be borne by you. Besides," he said with nimble fingers Rubbing a string of bone beads on Xie Yan's back gently, "You will never be a trouble to Gu. But no matter what happens, you can tell Gu not to worry Gu, okay?"

Xie Yan's heart moved, and he leaned on him resignedly: "Mmm. I'm sorry."

"At least we know that reunion is real." Pei Jun kissed his forehead and cheek lightly, hugged him in his arms distressedly, and promised in a low voice, "I guarantee that no matter where the world is, I will definitely find her... Live to see people, die to see corpses."

It was fine if he didn't mention it, but when he mentioned it, Xie Yan's nose couldn't help sore, and when he looked up at him, the corners of his eyes slowly turned red.

"Okay, the orphans have come out, can you still let the orphans fly back in the blink of an eye?" Pei Junfang pinched his face easily, and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? Eat something, I heard Yan Yang's lotus root festival is good."

Xie Yan pursed his lips and nodded.

Pei Jun felt that he probably did not repay the great favor he owed Xie Yan in his previous life, and he was punished in this life to return all his patience and tenderness to Xie Yan.A few years ago, he couldn't believe that a person like himself would treat another person so tenderly one day.

But as long as he is in a better mood, Pei Jun is willing to do anything, and immediately goes out to call someone: "I'm going to fetch food."

Xie Yan's heart was slightly hot, and his gaze followed him until he came back with a few dishes, his eyes still glued to him.Because he suffered from heatstroke before, all he prepared were refreshing, delicious and easy-to-digest summer summer dishes.

The two ate together at the same table. After the meal, Xie Yan was lucky enough to eat a small bowl of sour plum ice cream while listening to Pei Jun talk about the ministers in his secret edict, and the depression in his chest was completely dissipated. .

Xie Yan buried his face in his chest and rested for a while, his mood gradually calmed down, and he knew that what should be resolved still had to be resolved.Then he raised his head and asked: "That Gugui, can you leave it to me?" There was a chill in his eyes, and he tried his best to suppress the anger in his chest, "He has had a reunion."

Pei Jun held his thin shoulders: "Naturally."

After the two of them packed up, Pei Jun put on the curtain that concealed him as usual, and followed Xie Yan to the firewood room where Gu Gui was imprisoned.

"Wulang." Xie Yan clenched his hands, nails embedded in his palms, but facing Pei Jun, he still wanted to be coquettish, "No matter what Wulang hears outside, don't be afraid... I'm usually not so fierce. "
