Qi Huang

Xie Xuan didn't force him any more, and walked back along the river bank.Qingzhu didn't get the order to back down, so she had to follow step by step.

The workers on the bank of the river were doing their own things step by step. When they heard the movement, some people occasionally turned their heads to look back.Xie Xuan went back to the Supervision Department and asked Qing Zhu to wait outside, while he went in to get something.

After a while, he came out.

Qingzhu is still regretting what happened just now.Firstly, he felt that he had not kept Xiao Ling's secret well, and secondly, he felt a little ashamed of Xie Xuan.

Until a longbow was handed to him.

The bow line is smooth, but the weight is not light, and an adult needs both hands to hold it.Looks like the format is very old, like something from many years ago.

Qing Zhu was puzzled for a moment, then heard Xie Xuan say: "Mr."

Qingzhu: "?!"

He realized something, and quickly turned his bow, and as expected, he saw a character Xiao clearly at the tip of the bow.

Over the years, everything will be weathered by time, and the same is true for the engraved name.When the hand touches it, the uneven touch is no longer obvious, only the old and decayed strokes, like the quietly flowing years.

"It came by accident, you can return it to Mr. when the time comes."

Xie Xuan sat down slowly, raised her head nonchalantly, and signaled that Qingzhu could go down.

Qingzhu was holding the bow, with mixed feelings in her heart.

He once heard Xiao Ling mention this bow.

The Lord who doesn't care much about anything naturally doesn't want to talk about the past too often.There was only one time during the Lantern Festival, when the palace was full of lanterns, Wang Qi and his entourage returned to Beijing for the festival, with swords pinned to their waists and bows in their hands.

Wang Qi walked with the wind and went straight to Jinluan Palace. He didn't notice Xiao Ling passing by the path.

Qingzhu still remembered that scene back then.

The shadow of the night lantern cast mottledly on the bluestone brick road, like a broken moon.Xiao Ling walked to the end of the road and said quietly: "I also had a good bow once."

Stripped from the memory, Qing Zhu asked: "Why didn't you hand it over to Mr.

Xie Xuan was holding the documents related to the canal, and without raising his head when he heard the words, he glanced at ten lines and said, "I'm afraid he doesn't want to see me."

Qing Zhu blurted out: "How come?"

The moment after finishing speaking, Qingzhu felt that she had overstepped.What's the matter with his servant meddling in the matter between the masters he serves?But ever since he uttered Xiao Ling's intentions, he didn't dare to look at Xie Xuan's eyes again, with guilt on the one hand and worry on the other.

Not to mention that he was still holding this bow that was scalding like fire.

A heart of affection is given to others, but in exchange for it is a cold murderous heart, even a heart made of stone should hurt.

Why is Xie Xuan so fine?

Thoughts were flying, Qingzhu wanted to turn around and leave, forcing herself not to worry about it, but her feet seemed to be nailed to the ground and she couldn't move, her eyes were firmly locked on the back of Xie Xuan's head.

As if feeling the scorching gaze, Xie Xuan finally took a break from his busy schedule and looked back at Qingzhu.

"Why this expression?" Xie Xuan couldn't help laughing, "Why, do you think I'm repaying grievances with virtue?"

Qing Zhu turned his eyes away.

"Go on." Xie Xuan picked up a pen and ticked off the document, indifferently showing no emotion, "It's blocking my light."

If it wasn't for Xiao Ling who taught him, Qing Zhu's temper, even if he wasn't as stubborn as Xiao Ling, would be more difficult to persuade than ordinary people.Maybe it was really blocking the light, Xie Xuan got up and wanted to change his position, but unexpectedly there was always a tail behind him wherever he went.

After a long time, Xie Xuan couldn't take it anymore and threw the document on the case: "What do you want to do?"

Qingzhu's lips twitched, and finally lowered her eyes pitifully.

Xie Xuan couldn't do anything about him, and the originally calm footsteps became chaotic.He paced back and forth in the house with his hands behind his back, and the shadows that poured in through the car window flickered on his robe.

After a while, he paused.

"You really don't want to go?" Xie Xuan stared into his eyes.

Qing Zhu nodded invisibly.

"Then come here with your ears." Xie Xuan said, "I have something to tell you."

Qingzhu got the task, and the inexplicable sense of guilt in her heart finally dissipated.Before leaving, he was extremely considerate and closed the door for Xie Xuan, but unfortunately the door was pushed open again after a while.

Tan Xia turned her head three times a step at a time, and her eyes glanced at Qingzhu's brisk back from time to time.

Didn't this fellow have no good looks towards Xie Xuan before?Why does it look so much like a rewarded puppy now?

As soon as Tan Xia turned her head, she saw a few open booklets in Xie Xuan's hand, with a large densely packed large block of characters. Those were the progress of the project handed over by the supervisor below. They were originally very formal documents, but except for the small print , in the empty space, but who has drawn a pattern.

She took a closer look and saw that it was a puppy losing his temper, with two ears painted vividly.

Tan Xia: "..."

Without any embarrassment, Xie Xuan raised her hand and closed the booklet: "What's the matter?"

Tan Xia tried her best to draw her attention back: "...Master Gu and Master Yu have the final say, saying that the Nanqu canal will be completely dug next month."

Xie Xuan was slightly surprised: "So fast? Did you say the exact time?"

"About the middle of next month."

The middle of next month... That should be the middle of August, the rainy season.

The Grand Canal is connected by several vertical and horizontal canals. The distance between Yongzhou and Hangzhou is at least a thousand miles. Now that the South Canal has been dug, it proves that the excavation of the entire canal can proceed smoothly.If there is no accident, just proceed step by step, counting the time, it will probably be several months earlier than the scheduled completion time.

Gu Shiqing did have some skills.

Xie Xuan's mind was spinning all over the place, and his mind was spinning fast.Unexpectedly, Tan Xia next to him said coldly: "You...what did you say to Qing Zhu just now?"

"Huh?" Xie Xuan was still thinking about her own affairs, subconsciously replied, "What?"

Tan Xia said again: "It's nothing, I just feel that the child has been cheated again."

Xie Xuan: "..."

He smiled and said, "He said Xiao Ling wanted to kill me."

"..." Tan Xia was startled, but seeing that Xie Xuan didn't respond, he couldn't figure out what he meant for a moment.

Xie Xuan is indeed leading her to learn things these days, but there are many complicated and entangled things that she can't get in touch with for the time being.But even so, she was keenly aware that there was a deep secret buried in Xiao Ling.

Such a person naturally has deep thoughts... Could it be that Xiao Ling really wants to kill Xie Xuan?

"He won't kill me." Xie Xuan shook his head, sighed, and seemed to be feeling emotional, "But since Qingzhu feels that this matter will hurt me, then I have no choice but to follow his wishes, beg for comfort, and scratch It's good."

Tan Xia: "..."

She knows it!

She knew that Xie Xuan never suffered a disadvantage!

"You don't have to follow me these days, let Qingzhu come. You go in and out with Gu Shiqing, and I will say hello to him." The teasing look on Xie Xuan's body faded, and when he talked about business, "Although he is immature, he has been in the cold for ten years , but it’s not a dead book, you can learn something from him.”

Speaking of Gu Shiqing, at first Xie Xuan thought he was just a reckless young man.With passion in his arms, he slammed into the court, and then fell silently on the words "bad luck".

Until he broke into Xie Xuan's house.

In the following time, he grew up rapidly, and even had some names in front of the Queen Mother. The starting point of everything came from the words he said to Xie Xuan: You want me.

Gu Shiqing really has ulterior motives for him?

In Xie Xuan's opinion, not necessarily.

But Xie Xuan didn't bother to guess if it was true or not.

Scholars are not entirely pedantic.For someone like Gu Shiqing, who generally knows how to advance and retreat, and has a quick mind, it doesn't hurt to mention it.

Xie Xuan instructed: "When he is by his side, run to the river to record the situation of the workers. The slightest dust and mist can also benefit the mountains and seas, so don't take it lightly."

Tan Xia nodded, and heard Xie Xuan's implication: "Is there anything else, Your Highness?"

Xie Xuan smiled: "Well, I want to go back to Beijing."
