This shadow guard, you are enlightened

I don't know if it was due to physical discomfort, or because of the habit of getting up early recently, Zhuo Ying didn't sleep peacefully this time, and woke up within half an hour.

Xing Chenmu hadn't fallen asleep at that time, so he simply got up and asked the store to bring hot water to wipe his body, and brought porridge to the bed.

After Zhuo Ying asked Xing Chenmu to wipe it off, her whole body was flushed. Seeing that he was about to be fed, she immediately struggled to sit up and reached out to pick up the bowl: "I'll do it myself."

His voice became hoarse from shouting last night, and he still hadn't recovered at this time, and his voice was breathless. Xing Chenmu regretted it as soon as he heard it, and didn't hand him the bowl: "Sorry, last night——"

Afraid of hearing him say something embarrassing again, Zhuo Ying hurriedly interrupted: "I'm not sorry, this is my own matter...you didn't force me to do it."

"Yes." Xing Chenmu was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and fed a spoonful of porridge to his mouth, "So you lie down and rest well, I'll take care of you."

When Zhuo Ying was young, he thought that practicing martial arts was the most tiring thing in the world, but later he got used to it and didn't feel anything, but after the torment last night, he was much more tired than practicing martial arts. The pain in my lower back was severe, and "that place" also felt sore all the time.

He was really hungry at this time, so he didn't shirk anymore, and finished the porridge with Xing Chenmu's hands. Xing Chenmu helped him to lie down, turned around and finished another bowl of porridge on the table, and went back On the side of the bed, she covered his eyes with her hand and coaxed softly: "It's still early, sleep a little longer."

Xing Chenmu's hands were very warm, with a scent of saponin, covering his eyes to block the sunlight entering the room, Zhuo Ying closed his eyes obediently, and when he was about to fall asleep, he muttered softly: "The one we provoked last night I don’t know if there are any other accomplices in the gang, it’s dangerous outside, so don’t go out alone.”

"Don't go out, I'll accompany you here, after you rest, we'll go to the county government office together."

"En." Zhuo Ying nodded, after a while Xing Chenmu thought he had fallen asleep, but heard him whisper, "Aren't you coming up?"

Xing Chenmu had heard before that a man might get a fever after the first marriage, and he did it a little hard last night, so he was worried and wanted to guard for a while, but then he remembered that he was sitting by the side like this, Zhuo Ying Instead, he couldn't rest at ease, so he responded, got on the bed and hugged him into his arms again.

Because Xiaoying specifically explained that no one dared to disturb their rest, they slept until noon, and Zhuo Ying finally woke up again. Xing Chenmu only woke up a little earlier than him. Seeing that he woke up, he asked: "You feel better?"

"Yeah." Zhuo Ying sat up, she really felt that her body was much better than that in the morning, but "there" was still a little strange, but fortunately, it didn't bother her, "Mu'er, don't worry."

Xing Chenmu was sleeping on the outside of the bed, seeing that he wanted to get up, he got out of bed and took his clothes for him, thought for a while and said: "The matter of the bandits is not in a hurry, why don't you rest for another day, and we will go to the county office tomorrow morning. "

"The spring night is bitter and the days are high, so the king won't go to court early?" Zhuo Ying laughed before speaking, "Mu'er can't let me be the source of disaster for the country and the people."

Xing Chenmu had no choice but to say, "If someone like you can bring disaster to the country and the people, then the emperor will be a bachelor for the rest of his life, and don't become a concubine."

Speaking of this, Zhuo Ying remembered another matter, and asked hesitantly: "Mu'er, last time I begged you...how did you think about it?"

It was about whether Xing Chenmu made him the queen immediately after returning to the palace.

"Let me think about it again..." Xing Chenmu naturally wanted to formally marry him as soon as he returned to the palace, but Zhuo Ying seemed to be very concerned about this matter, and he didn't want to argue with the other party about it.

While talking, the two had already got out of bed and put on their clothes. Zhuo Ying stepped forward and hugged Xing Chenmu's waist from behind, and said in a rare coquettish tone: "Mu'er, just promise me this time."

The two of them just finished that thing last night, Xing Chenmu was full of tenderness, wishing to hold him in the palm of his hand and pamper him, how could he be willing to refuse him, and asked after a long silence: "How long to wait, you have to give me a deadline, right?"

"Five, five years?" Zhuo Ying blinked, but she was not sure how long it would take for Xing Chenxiu to develop the medicine for men to have children, not to mention the time to conceive and give birth.

"Five years is too long, I can't wait." Xing Chenmu turned to look at him, "Three years! I don't care if others accept it or not, after three years I will make you my queen."

Afraid that Xing Chenmu would regret it, Zhuo Ying immediately complied.

Xing Chenmu leaned over and kissed him on the lips again, sighed: "A Ying is really my nemesis."

Having said that, the pampering in the tone seemed to be overflowing.

After lunch, Xing Chenmu ordered Ying Ba to take the bandits to the county government office, and he followed them himself.

The yamen servants at the gate of the county yamen saw that they were escorting the group of people, so they knew it well, and immediately turned back to the county yamen to report. Come out and let them in.

Xing Chenmu glanced back at the accompanying shadow guards, and ordered: "You all wait here."

Now I don't know whether the county magistrate is good or bad, Yingba hesitated when he heard the words, and couldn't help but turn his eyes to Zhuo Ying, Zhuo Ying also thought of this, but the county government is very important, bringing so many people with swords and swords inside It was really inappropriate, so he turned his head and asked, "Mu'er, should you bring Yingba and Yingjiu?"

Even if he feels a little unwell today, with the number of officers and soldiers in the county government, the presence of the three of them is enough to ensure that Xing Chenmu comes out safely.

Now Xing Chenmu obeyed Zhuo Ying's words, quickly nodded, and led the three of them inside.

The county magistrate was waiting in the meeting hall. Xing Chenmu entered the hall without saluting, and before waiting for the person on the other side to speak, he said directly: "We were attacked by bandits and managed to capture everyone, why didn't your lord immediately ascend to the hall?" ?”

"Disrespectful! Your lord hasn't asked a question yet, you—"

"No problem." The person who looked like a master wanted to say more, but was stopped by the county magistrate in official uniform. The county magistrate stepped forward and cupped his hands at Xing Chenmu, and said politely, "I see that you are very generous, but Are you famous?"

The county magistrate is not young, about forty years old, seeing Xing Chenmu's attire and the people around him, he also knows that he is not young, so he dare not neglect easily.

Xing Chenmu glanced at the other party and nodded slightly: "I'm waiting to come from Luan City, and I'm going to the south of the Yangtze River. Passing by here, I encountered bandits robbing the ship. As a parent and official, do you care or don't care?"

"Take care, take care of it, of course we have to take care of it, but... hey..." The county magistrate heard that the man came from Luancheng, and his heart skipped a beat, but he turned around and thought again. I don't think this is necessarily a bad thing.

"Just what?"

The county magistrate glanced around, and said to the master just now: "Master, you take people down first."

"But master, this..." The master looked at the swords around the waists of Zhuo Ying and the others, very worried.

The county magistrate said: "It's okay. Since they can wipe out dozens of bandits, they really hurt me. Even if you guard here, it won't help."

"My lord can see clearly." Xing Chenmu smiled.

Only then did the master hesitantly lead the people back.

When there were only the county magistrate, Xing Chenmu and other six people left in the whole hall, the county magistrate said: "Excuse Jiang for being rude, may I ask that you are an imperial court official?"

"What? If it's an ordinary person, you don't care about today's matter?" Xing Chenmu raised his eyebrows, walked to the seat and sat down.

Although Xing Chenmu did not admit it, the county magistrate believed that he could not be wrong in judging people. He already regarded Xing Chenmu as an official sent by Luancheng in his heart, and said bluntly: "No, I am ashamed to say that I don't care about this matter. But... can't control it."

The county magistrate bent down again, and when he raised himself up, he took off the official hat on his head and held it in his hand.

"What are you doing, my lord?"

"To tell you the truth, those bandits have entered my county office three times. The first two times were businessmen who passed by Suiyang County to report to the county office. I sent people to take them down, but they came in again and again. They all left safely." The county magistrate shook his head, "A few days ago, I had already written the letter of resignation, and I also reported the whole story of the matter, and ordered people to send it to Luan City, waiting for the emperor's approval."

Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying looked at each other, knowing that there was something inside the matter, the county magistrate didn't look like a corrupt official colluding with bandits, so Xing Chenmu took out his token and said: "You should know that the Holy Dragon is in poor health and is bedridden. At present, the assistant king is taking over the government temporarily, and I am the imperial envoy appointed by the assistant king, and I am here to inspect the place, so you can tell me about this matter in detail."

Changing people to preside over the government is a major national event. In addition, Xing Chenmu intended to establish prestige for Xing Chenxiu. When the imperial decree was issued, he posted a notice and issued an official document. The official document was sent out in [-] miles, and the officials here should have already received it.

"Yes, yes, Jiang Bowen, the magistrate of Suiyang County, the lower official, has met the imperial envoy."

Jiang Bowen saluted and explained the matter one by one.

It turned out that the gang of bandits were indeed from Suiyang County, and lived in a village at the foot of Suiyang Mountain beside the canal. The first time someone came to report to the officials, the county magistrate began to investigate. The officers and soldiers who went to the county government took him back, but before the interrogation, the prefect of Liangzhou came to the county government to ask for him.

Suiyang County was under the jurisdiction of the Liangzhou government, and the officials killed people at the first level, so Liang Bowen had to hand them over, and the matter was gone. It wasn't until the second time someone came to report to the government that he knew that the magistrate had arrested the gang of bandits. Let them all go.

In any case, if someone came to him as a parent officer, he still had to take care of it.He arrested him for the second time, and he didn't dare to imprison him again. He went up to the court overnight for interrogation, but the other party refused to plead guilty, insisting that they were not the ones who hijacked the ship. Arrived again.

The big hat of reckless judgment and beating was taken off, and the government office just took him away again.

This was the third time the ship was hijacked.

Xing Chenmu nodded and asked, "Who is the magistrate of Liangzhou?"

"Master Hui, his surname is Zhou, and his courtesy name is Pingsui."

Zhou Pingsui and Xing Chenmu had some impressions of this name, but they couldn't remember where they heard it.

On the other hand, Zhuo Ying frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, reminded: "It's Fulu's 16th year second-class Jinshi."

The 16th year of Fulu, that is, about ten years ago, was the time when the first emperor was in good health, but the first emperor intended to increase Xing Chenmu's knowledge, and since he was named the crown prince, he was allowed to attend the palace examination as the prince. As the leader of the shadow guards, Zhuo Ying was able to guard in the dark of the hall during the palace examination.

Xing Chenmu was still young at the time, and he participated in many palace examinations afterwards, so it is naturally impossible to remember every Jinshi, but for Zhuo Ying, it was the first time he entered the palace with Xing Chenmu after he was appointed as the envoy of Yingyingwei, so I remember it very clearly.

As soon as he said this, Jiang Bowen looked at him in surprise, bowed his head and said respectfully: "May I ask who this lord is?"

Zhuo Ying's body froze, and she quickly said, "The inner shadow guard, Lu Xian."

The author has something to say: Lu Xian:? ? ? ? ? ?
