yes sire

Lin Rucheng, governor of Changzhou, was preparing to eat, and before he could eat a piece of braised pork, he heard the announcement that Mr. Han was coming.He exchanged a glance with the prefect Wang Zhidong who was dining with him at the same table, threw the meat into his mouth and chewed it, then slowly put down his chopsticks and got up to greet him.Wang Zhidong followed behind, wiping his mouth with his sleeve as he walked.

The three of them went to the living room to salute each other and sit down. Lin Rucheng felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Han You holding an account book.

Lin Rucheng has been released for six years, and he has sharpened his head to think that he can be transferred back to Beijing this year.And Han You is also an official transferred from Beijing to China, and it just so happens that this year also happens to be the end of his three-year term.Every year, the number of officials sent abroad to return to Beijing is limited, and their official ranks are about the same. If they all want to return to Beijing, one person's wish will always come true.So Lin Rucheng always regarded Han You as his greatest opponent, and he was polite on the surface, but in his heart he wished that something would happen to Han You.

Comparing his heart to his heart, he felt that Han You must have thought the same way, so when he saw Han You coming with the account book, he subconsciously felt that Han You was here to find fault, and when he was interrupted from the meal, his tone of voice seemed not so polite : "Master Han came here at noon, is there some serious and urgent matter?"

Han You didn't seem to notice his tone, but just rolled up the account book into a tube and held it in his left hand, unconsciously tapping the palm of his right hand.

Wang Zhidong asked Lin Rucheng with his eyes: what's going on?Lin Rucheng shook his head and replied with his eyes: I don't know, let's wait and see what happens.

After a moment of silence, Han You tentatively opened his mouth: "Master Governor, recently...has something important happened in Changzhou?"

"What's the big deal?" Lin Rucheng asked back, "What kind of big deal?"

Han You changed his method and asked again: "Do we have any big business to discuss with Baihui?"

Lin Rucheng became upset, "Don't you handle all the big business with Baihui? Don't worry, Mr. Han, no one in the state government office dares to break this rule."

Knowing that he had misunderstood, Han You hurriedly said, "I didn't mean that." After finishing speaking, he remembered that this was the rule set by His Majesty when he was sent here. He asked personally.

However, this time Cha Risong talked about the big business, but no one informed him at all.

Is His Majesty unwilling to see him?

Do you even have to avoid meeting on business?

Thinking of this, Han You felt a little wronged.But at the beginning, I was the one who insisted on letting go, and I was the one who said the cruel words. At this time, what right do I have to feel wronged?

He thought that as long as the two places were separated and they would never see each other again, the longing would heal little by little, but this stubborn disease deepened every day like his stomach problem, and the pain would become unbearable for him from time to time.He often regrets what he said to Xia Siyan at night, and at dawn, he tells himself that what he did was right, that he can't regret it, and once he starts to regret it, everything will be lost.

Lin Rucheng was a little baffled to see him like this. Normally, although Han You seemed to be in poor health, he was in good spirits.Clear thinking, eloquent, and decisiveness when negotiating with foreigners often makes Lin Rucheng jealous, but it is rare to see him showing such a confused expression.

"What exactly does Master Han want to ask?" Lin Rucheng asked him again.

"I heard..." Han You looked at Lin Rucheng and then at Wang Zhidong, and simply asked, "I heard that His Majesty is coming, did Master Lin get any news?"

Lin Rucheng naturally got the news, but His Majesty's whereabouts are top-secret information, I don't know how Han You knows.He immediately remembered that Han You seemed to have a good relationship with the second prince of Baihui Kingdom, and he probably knew about it from Cha Risong.But Lin Rucheng knew that Han You was very honored and favored in Beijing, and worried that the emperor would think of Han You again when he came to see Han You, and if he was happy to transfer Han You back, his chances might be small.Thinking of this, Lin Rucheng put on a polite smile on his face: "Master Han is well-informed."

Han You didn't have the heart to play around with him, "Does the governor know when His Majesty will come?"

"This..." Lin Rucheng didn't want to tell him, and said vaguely, "I don't know the exact date, but we should prepare in advance to meet it. But it seems that His Majesty didn't arrange anything for Mr. Han this time, Mr. Han Don't worry about it."

"Well," Han You's face turned pale again, "So the governor doesn't know the exact time?"

"It should be before the end of this month." Lin Rucheng said perfunctorily.

Han You nodded, stood up and said goodbye to them.

Wang Zhidong waited until Han You walked out of the main room, and whispered to Lin Rucheng, "It seems that Mr. Han wants to show something in front of His Majesty."

These words made Lin Rucheng even more defensive, and he glanced at Wang Zhidong, "Your Majesty came here in secret this time, Mr. Han shouldn't have known about it."

Wang Zhidong hurriedly nodded understandingly, "I understand, don't call him when the time comes."

Ever since he knew that Xia Siyan was coming, Han You has been worried every day.From Lin Rucheng's words, he heard exclusion and precaution, so he was careful, these days Charisong asked him to have tea and dinner, and he occasionally went to the appointment, just to get news about the emperor from Charisong.

On July [-]th, Cha Risong asked Han You to have dinner at a restaurant in the city. Cha Risong told him that Lin Rucheng had sent someone, saying that the emperor had arrived in Changzhou, and asked the Baihui Mission to be in Luoying City at Shenshi the next afternoon. will meet in the same hall.

The wine glass that Han You handed to his mouth stopped, and Cha Risong knew that he didn't know about it when he saw his reaction, and said with a smile: "I heard that you have lost the favor of your emperor, it seems that is true. You Just follow me, I won't give up on you forever."

Cha Risong's Zhaoguo dialect is good. Of course, he knows that the emperor's "favor" for ministers is different from the "favor" between lovers, but he is not very familiar with idioms and often uses them indiscriminately.Han You didn't bother to correct him, since he already got the desired information anyway.

Han You drank the wine in the glass, stood up and said, "I remembered that I still have some things to deal with, so I will take my leave first."

Cha Risong also stood up, "Okay, I'll take you back."

Han You ignored him, turned around and went downstairs first, Cha Risong dropped a large piece of silver on the table and chased it down, and walked side by side on the street with him.

Just after noon, the sun was scorching, and the streets were still bustling with people.Cha Risong was tall and very burly, and Han You could even hide in the shade while walking beside him.

Suddenly there was a noise from the front, and cavalry in soft armor cleared the way, surrounded by a delicate carriage back and forth.People stopped to watch the excitement, guessing the identity of the owner of the carriage.Feeling something, Han Youruo stopped and looked at the direction of the carriage, his heart beating wildly.

At this time, a carriage also came from the other side of the street, and the horse pulling the carriage seemed to have lost control, and ran straight towards Han You and the others.Cha Risong hugged Han You's waist with one hand and moved aside, while with the other he drew the saber at his waist.Before he could pull out his knife, he heard a bang, and Crazy Horse fell down in response.

Han You saw the horse lying in a pool of blood, the horse's neck was bloody and bloody. He was a little frightened by the bloody scene, so he missed that when the carriage surrounded by soldiers passed them by, the car window showed Come profile.When he regained consciousness, the carriage and the army had already left.
