Kaolin Flower Raiders Guide

Surprise condensed into blood in his chest, and a short silence was not enough to dissipate the thick blood, Qi Jiansi suddenly didn't realize that his tone was different from usual, with a confrontation that seemed to be there.

"Since Big Brother Lu has returned to Chang'an, why didn't you tell Lu Xiao?"

Lu Xuehen frowned, and seemed to be asking sincerely: "Isn't Xiao'er living in Qi's residence? How can I tell him?"

Qi Jiansi was at a loss for words for a while, and waited for Lu Xuehen's second sentence.

"Master Qi, you are so aggressive, be careful to lose your wife and lose your army."

There seemed to be something in his words, especially the emphasis on the word "madame".

Lu Xiao's eyes filled with tears flashed through his mind at the right time in the mid-autumn night, causing Qi Jiansi to put aside his doubts for a while, and opened his mouth calmly.

He frowned and said, "Brother Lu and Lu Xiao haven't seen each other for a long time. If there's nothing else, you can go to my residence first. Lu Xiao is in the Hanlin Academy, so it's inconvenient to leave suddenly. She can return to the residence in the evening."

A trace of sarcasm flashed across Lu Xuehen's face: "No need. My Xiao'er was just deceived for the time being, and he will come back by himself when he understands."

My, deceived.

Qi Jiansi was caught off guard by such words. There was a large crowd, people coming and going, and the two of them stood by the roadside not too far apart, but it didn't look awkward.

He looked at Lu Xuehen very calmly: "In that case, please go ahead."

At this time, Qi Jiansi had returned to normal, and there were countless doubts about the person in front of him, and it was very likely that he was the person who harmed him in Yunzhou.Because he was kind to Lu Xiao in raising him, Qi Jiansi was already polite enough to him, but Lu Xuehen obviously didn't appreciate it.

Qi Jiansi turned around and walked towards the carriage. The coachman not far away was looking at this side hesitantly, and immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and pulled out the horizontal footstool.

Lu Xuehen who was behind him suddenly called him, Qi Jiansi paused slightly, and heard him say slowly: "Qi Ce thinks that staying away from the court can atone for his sins, it's impossible."

Qi Jiansi narrowed his sharp phoenix eyes slightly, turned around and said one word at a time: "Who are you from?"

"I might as well tell you that Yunzhou didn't hurt your bones, so it's your life." Lu Xuehen's answer was irrelevant, but it just confirmed Qi Jiansi's guess.

Qi Jiansi's face was frosty, he went straight to the carriage, and said coldly: "Go home."

Meng Ye was squatting in the yard watching the fish swimming in the pond, when he raised his head in a daze and saw a man with windy sleeves coming in, and then saw that it was his young master, he asked foolishly: "My lord, did you come back so early today?" ah?"

Qi Jiansi's footsteps landed in front of him: "You don't want to follow me during this time, go to the Mrs. Madam's yard and wait."

Meng Ye panicked and said, "I...young master, is it me..."

"No," Qi Jiansi decisively interrupted his worry, and said with a solemn expression, "I am most assured of you, you go and protect the master and wife, don't let them find out the abnormality, and come back if there is nothing wrong."

Meng Ye stopped talking immediately, and nodded solemnly.

When they met by chance today, Lu Xuehen almost tore his face mercilessly.There was Lu Xiao between Qi Jiansiyuan and him, and he had never thought about Lu Xuehen carefully.Thinking about it now, the name Lu Xuehen must have been a pseudonym. According to what he said, he and his father had an old grudge.

The people my father offended were nothing more than moths and rats in the court, and it was definitely not to the point of life and death.Qi Jiansi silently ruled out one after another, and calculated according to his age for a long time, but he couldn't match Lu Xuehen with someone else's heir.

In the middle of the spring day, Qi Jiansi sat quietly for a long time, without a drop of tea, the door of the room was closed tightly, and no one came to disturb him.

A thought that touched Yunzhou made him feel a chill down his spine.

Meng Ye and one of the guards in the mansion confronted each other, they both saw the assassin near the mansion at the same time, Qi Jiansi concluded that there were two people cooperating inside and outside.After distinguishing the real from the fake Du Zixiu, he even acquiesced that the one who assassinated him was the man who was good at disguise.The real Du Zixiu is dead, and the one who escaped and left a blood-stained cloth strip is a fake.

When the person in disguise faked his death, he once said a contradictory statement, which was both clever and stupid.

Since seeing the threatening blood cloth with his own eyes, Qi Jiansi has recalled countless times what happened when he was in Yunzhou. He thought it was stupid to say that no one found out that the people in the hall were fake deaths , and now I just understand the meaning of this contradictory statement.

Lu Xuehen was the one who assassinated him.

Lu Xuehen was always on the same boat with the disguised person, so when he shot Qi Jiansi but accidentally knocked Lu Xiao down, he would show a look of astonishment.

Clever means that the two of them broke the obvious situation. How could Lu Xiao suspect Lu Xuehen at that time, so this situation hidden in the dark, until leaving Yunzhou, no one thought that this matter was related to Lu Xuehen .

Once he knew that Lu Xuehen was the man in black clothes, a series of his actions were linked together like a string of beads.When there was nothing to hide, Qi Jiansi felt a little unbelievable.

Qi Jiansi knew that his appearance was an accident, and Lu Xiao originally intended to correspond with him, asking about food and grass in the letter, but he couldn't bear it, and ran to Yunzhou desperately.At that time, he was able to think about Lu Xiao's safety. Since Lu Xuehen and the fake Du Zixiu were originally the same breed, when he came to Yunzhou, he could remind Lu Xiao in many ways why he had to suffer so many crimes of uselessness.

Going forward for a while, even Lu Xiao's application for a foreign transfer was made under the interference of Lu Xuehen.

How many of these were Lu Xuehen's handwriting?

The door knocker knocked lightly, and Qi Jiansi said lightly, "You don't need to come in for more tea."

The person who knocked on the door ignored him, and swaggered open the door and walked in.The frisky young man glanced at the desk, didn't even see a piece of paper, and told the boy that he was studying and don't bother him if he has nothing to do.

Lu Xiao didn't move closer to him, but sat down on the low couch at the back, and poured herself a cup of cold tea.

Before he could speak, Qi Jiansi got up and left the desk, and reached out to play with Lu Xiao's slightly messy hair.The slender fingers followed the hair, all the way down, and finally landed on the shoulder and neck.Lu Xiao grabbed the cloth on his chest and pulled him down, rubbed against the tip of Qi Jiansi's nose, narrowed her eyes and said, "Why are you so sullen?"

Qi Jiansi didn't say a word, his beautiful face seemed to be made of ice and snow, with a cold look.

Lu Xiao moved aside, put her finger on the back of Qi Jiansi's hand, and tapped it like a woodpecker.The two huddled together, practicing silent meditation together tacitly.

This person, if he is determined and unwilling to speak, it will be useless for others to say anything.

Lu Xiao naturally saw that Qi Jiansi was out of his mind, but the coachman listened to Qi Jiansi's instructions early on, and Lu Xiao came back late, so he couldn't come up with any useful words.

He sighed, put his hands on Qi Jiansi's cheeks and pinched and kneaded, but it's a pity that Qi Jiansi didn't have a small round face like Ning Huai's, and the feeling of touching it was not as comfortable as being fleshy.It didn't take long for those messy hands to do anything wrong, before Qi Jiansi clasped his wrists and pulled them down.

It's useless to talk nonsense, Lu Xiao lazily leaned back: "I will have dinner with my uncle and aunt later, so don't look so out of your mind."

A few hours earlier, the sun was still hanging high outside the window. After Lu Xiao finished speaking, she leaned close to the window, and the fine spring rain pressed the green leaves and flowed into the soil.Qi Jiansi stared at him in a daze, Lu Xiao smiled lightly, and patted his hand comfortingly with her thin white palm: "Go out."

Qi Jiansi lowered his eyes, and held the hand gently: "Give me some more time."

The rain from the eaves dripped onto the window lattice, and the spring rain was dense and moist, bringing a gust of wind through the gap between the two bodies.

"You say that," Lu Xiao pretended to be angry and pulled out her finger, "I would think you were going to give up."

Qi Jiansi couldn't help pinching his cheek: "Nonsense."

"Guess, since you've denied it, then I'm relieved." Lu Xiao raised the corner of her mouth, held his face and kissed him unexpectedly, and left the study quickly.

Fortunately, what Qi Jiansi was worried about did not happen in a short time. Meng Ye wandered outside Qi's father and Qi's mother's courtyard like a thief for more than a month, and even stared at the waiters in the courtyard in a daze. Didn't see who was wrong.

When Qi Jiansi was busy checking Lu Xuehen all day long, the short spring day gradually came to an end.

There are few people in the streets and alleys, most of them are women strolling and shopping, while countless young people are standing proudly in front of the open white wall.More young and middle-aged men sat in the inn with different thoughts, waiting for the servants who came to report.

At the turn of spring and summer, Enke released the list.The inns in Chang'an City were overcrowded, and the students sat around in the lobby in twos and threes, holding their breath, waiting for the first one to rush in, which family's servant would be the first.

Suddenly a young man like a skinny monkey staggered in and shouted in shock: "Young Master! You have won! Young Master! You have won Huiyuan!"

In the crowd, a man in a blue shirt stood up in surprise, and everyone cast their envious eyes on him.He looked less than 30 years old, and won the Huiyuan after taking the exam two or three times, and there were many old candidates in Qingliu Inn who were still in their 60s and [-]s and still went to Chang'an to catch the exam.The first name is already in other people's pockets, and there are about [-] tribute students left. For a while, there was a buzz in the hall, and countless students were sweating and sweating.

Dozens of inns in the city of Chang'an were performing the same show. Lu Xiao vividly talked about what he saw and heard when he passed the inn in the palace.

Emperor Yunkang tapped his fingers, tapped the gold-painted ornaments on the desk regularly, and teased him: "What about you? I remember that Mr. Cui fell in love with you in the tens of thousands of answer sheets early in the morning. It is well known that the rankings of the general examination and the palace examination are almost the same every year, have you ever had any thoughts?"

"Your Majesty is going to reveal the truth of the minister again." Lu Xiao pretended to be troubled, and sighed: "When the minister entered the palace for a re-examination, he was almost stripped of his qualifications for the palace examination. He almost couldn't stand here and talk to His Majesty."

The Golden Palace Biography is a good name. During the re-examination, some people did not recognize talents. It was just that when others talked about Lu Xiao four years ago, they compared him with his status as the No. [-] scholar after dinner.

On the day of the re-examination, Lu Xiao was late, but she didn't really miss the timing, but was caught and lectured by a fellow examiner for a long time.

Lu Xiao felt baffled, and after a long break up with the examiner, he was delayed by a quarter of an hour. The same examiner insisted on depriving him of his qualifications for the imperial examination.Lu Xiao was young and vigorous, fell into a trap in a fit of anger, and turned around on the spot.Cui Yu was also the chief examiner that year. He was startled by the movement here, and listened to the two arguments with bated breath. When Lu Xiao wanted to leave, he suddenly appeared and stopped him.

Lu Xiao didn't know the identity of the old man, so she called out vaguely that she had seen the adults, and stepped forward without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Cui Yu insisted on asking his name, Lu Xiao held back her anger and said, "Student Lu Xiao, I will bid farewell to your lord today."

Cui Yu's drooping eyes suddenly brightened, and he asked hastily, "But Dan Erlu, so chic?"

Lu Xiao turned her head to look at the old man, and nodded in confusion.

The old man who had looked sleepy suddenly showed a smile, and assured him again and again that he would be able to answer with peace of mind, without worrying about the matter here.Lu Xiao was skeptical, but it was hard to ignore the kindness of others, so she returned to the hall and continued to answer.

As for the fellow examiner who has a rather talented wife, who was No. 3 in the exam that year, that's a story for later.

"Nonsense, according to Mr. Cui's temperament, if he fails to see you during the examination, he must check your hometown and find your home." Emperor Yunkang thought of such an old incident, and his thoughts immediately drifted further.

I don't know what was added to the censer in the hall, and it ignited a light medicinal fragrance. Emperor Yunkang's expression was slightly condensed, and he said lightly: "This year's palace examination was arranged earlier, I wonder if I can see one or two people who are not sticking to reading dead books. students."

"Four hundred tribute students, some of them will be cut off in the re-examination, there are still many students who will be able to face the Holy Spirit, and His Majesty will be able to select outstanding people from among them."

"Lu Xiao, you are standing beside me now, can you still remember what you said in the palace examination?"

Lu Xiao paused, but unlike that day, he raised his head slightly at this moment, and said firmly: "No one is born familiar with sage books, parents are born, teachers teach, and children are born through daily discussions and pondering. Adults. Everyone alive, no matter what their origin, has a way to go in front of them. Being a person or an official is constantly groping for a path of sincerity. Since a child is an adult, why should he hold on to that innocuous heart? Don't let it go? I still believe that the heart of a child is born in life, and the way of sincerity is difficult."

His face was tense, but he didn't relax at all. He lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down and said, "This statement is too common and against the sages, but every sentence is from the bottom of my heart. If it offends His Majesty, it is my fault."

Emperor Yunkang laughed suddenly, clapped his hands and said, "It's really difficult for one to walk."

He couldn't help but order Lu Xiao to stand up, with a puzzling expression on his profound face.

"You're right. I'm not on the same road as anyone else, so how can others deserve to blame me?
