King's Landing [Rebirth]

In the early morning of the next day, the long-lost sunny day in western Yunnan after winter began, and the thin sunlight shone through the thick clouds to the world.Liang Jian got up early to pack her things, and patiently waited for Xu Ze to enter the mansion.Song Yuan knew that he couldn't stop him from going to Qiao County, but he didn't stop him, and promised to temporarily take care of the affairs in the city and let him go back early.

Liang Jian knew that Song Yuan was worried that there would be riots in the city after he left, so he sent a letter to Yang Junning in the morning to ask her to pay attention to the movement in the city.Although Yang Junning does not interfere with the affairs of the government, she will not sit idly by when it comes to Song Yuan's safety.

After receiving the order, Xu Ze went to the City Lord's Mansion. Liang Jian told him that he was going to Qiao County, hoping that Xu Ze would cover him and not reveal his current identity.

Liang Jian had only been in office for a short time, and few people knew him when he left Hongye City. It was not difficult to cover him. Xu Ze agreed on the spot without asking anything, and Wronged Mei Zhenghan and Liang Jian pretended to be guards and left together.

Liang Jian was very satisfied with Xu Ze's understanding of current affairs, and together with Mei Zhenghan, they changed into guards' attire and mounted their horses to open the way for Xu Ze.Song Yuan came to see the two off, and told them to be careful all the way.Mei Zhenghan did not bring Jiang Shengxue with him on this trip, he left Jiang Shengxue in the city and asked Song Yuandai to take care of him.Song Yuan reassured him that at least he was a friend who shared weal and woe, and he would take good care of Jiang Shengxue without Mei Zhenghan telling him.

Xu Ze's convoy set off quickly, and Song Yuan sent them out of the city before returning to the City Lord's Mansion.Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the city lord's mansion, a guard rushed to report: "Lord Song, the second young miss knew that the city lord and Mr. Mei would leave together and insisted on going with them. Wen Yao couldn't stop him and was afraid that something might happen to her, so he had to go along with her." Wen Yao asked me to inform you, do we need to send someone to recover it?"

Mei Zhenghan went here because the murder case is not a child's play. With Jiang Shengxue's intelligence, it is impossible to deliberately run over to add trouble. I am afraid that she also has something to do as a last resort.

Song Yuan still understood the girl, and raised his hand to prevent the guards from chasing her: "No need, Wen Yao can't make trouble with her."

Outside Hongye City, Xu Ze's convoy was overtaken by Jiang Shengxue and Wen Yao after half a day.Wen Yao was still wearing the feather general's clothes, because he was worried that something might happen to Jiang Shengxue, so he didn't dare to relax. When he saw Xu Ze's convoy stopped, he felt dark in front of his eyes, and he almost couldn't sit still.Jiang Shengxue changed into light clothes, covered with a pink cloak, her hair was blown a little messy by the wind, she raised her hand to roughly comb it, not caring about her image at the moment.

Seeing the two of them, Liang Jian was taken aback for a moment, then straightened his face, and said angrily, "Nonsense, what are you chasing after?"

Liang Jian's trip this time was not for fun, so there was a reason why he couldn't bring Jiang Shengxue back, who knew that the girl brought Yu Jiang to chase after him as soon as he left.The generals in the city each have different responsibilities. Wen Yao usually patrols the security of the city, who will fill in his vacancy once he leaves?

Mei Zhenghan was also a little surprised, he had made it very clear to Jiang Shengxue last night that although this girl couldn't turn the corner for a while, fortunately she accepted the result without making a fuss.Mei Zhenghan thought she would settle down, but who knew she would come out this way.

Jiang Shengxue was a little afraid that Liang Jian would be angry, she grabbed the reins fearfully, lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "The Gu Master Conference in West Yunnan is just a few days away, I want to go and see it."

The Gu Master Conference in western Yunnan is at the intersection of Danlin City and Hongye City, and it only takes one day from Qiao County.Jiang Shengxue is considered half a Gu Master, so he is naturally very interested in this grand event.

Liang Jian had heard about it but never met it at the Gu Master Conference, so he never expected it to be at this moment.

It's a coincidence to say it this way, people from Fujian will also come to the Gu Master Conference, and around this time, the jurisdiction area of ​​Qingxi County is full of psychic powder and Gu Master indulges the insects to chase and kill. It seems very pitiful The orphan girl, and now this orphan girl is clearly afraid that he will be angry, but she still insists on going to the Gu Master Conference.

Liang Jian couldn't help suspecting that what happened in Qiao County this time had something to do with the so-called Gu Master Conference, but he didn't know what role Jiang Shengxue would play in it this time.

"Since this is the case, why didn't you tell me before, but chased him by yourself, and took away the feather generals in the city."

Jiang Shengxue bit her lower lip lightly, her eye sockets were reddened by the wind, she slightly raised her head to look at Liang Jian, and said with a lack of confidence: "I'm afraid you will say that I am capricious and won't take me there."

After all, Liang Jian was not from the west of Yunnan, and the Gu Masters Conference might be an unpopular thing in his opinion, but Jiang Shengxue had to go.She didn't know how to explain the matter of the Gu Master to Liang Jian, so she had to resort to this trick.If Liang Jianjian returns, she can go secretly by herself.

"It's self-willed enough." Liang Jian answered coldly, Jiang Shengxue's heart sank, but soon she heard Liang Jian say: "Since you are here, let's go, just go back and offer a stick of incense to your parents. Wen Yao Stay here too, I will leave the safety of Second Miss to you."

After Liang Jian finished speaking, he led the horse and walked to the front of the team, letting the team that was disrupted by the episode continue to move forward.Xu Ze lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw Jiang Shengxue's thin cloak being blown up by the wind. He was worried that the road ahead would be long and that she, a girl, would not be able to withstand the wild wind. Don't be an official, give up the carriage to the second lady..."

Before Xu Ze finished speaking, Liang Jian turned his head and gave him a cold look, and said, "Don't bother Mr. Xu, there is no second lady here, only one accompanying maid."

Seeing Liang Jian's cold expression, Xu Ze knew that he was in a bad mood. He was in trouble, so he kept saying yes and then returned to the carriage without daring to say anything.

The team gradually moved forward, and Mei Zhenghan fell behind. He looked at Jiang Shengxue who was chasing him helplessly, shook his head and said, "You, you, let me tell you what's good about you. Even if you want to go back, you should make it clear to Liang Jian , instead of suspecting that he won't take you there before he started talking, it hurts his heart too much."

Liang Jian took good care of Jiang Shengxue along the way, but in the end Jiang Shengxue suspected him of being unreasonable, disappointment and sadness were inevitable.Mei Zhenghan felt sorry for him, and it was rare for him to put on a straight face in front of Jiang Shengxue.

Jiang Shengxue suddenly opened his eyes wide, and looked up at Liang Jian's back.The fierce cold wind was piercingly cold, and Liang Jian led the convoy to the front. He stood upright and sat motionless on the horseback.The wind blew his cloak like a hunting banner.He didn't look back, and walked forward unswervingly.Like a lonely beast, it doesn't expect a companion to follow behind it.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Tears dripped from the sockets of his eyes, and Jiang Shengxue raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face.She apologized for her waywardness, and shed tears because she wronged Liang Jian.

Mei Zhenghan immediately went forward to tidy Jiang Shengxue's cloak, and said softly, "Silly girl, he is our elder brother. If you don't even trust your elder brother, who can you trust in the future?"

Mei Zhenghan has long regarded Liang Jian as his close relative, and he trusts Liang Jian more than anyone else.He felt at ease by Liang Jian's side, as if all the troubles in the world had left him, only the indulging years were left.As long as he followed Liang Jian, he would not be afraid even if he went through mountains of swords and seas of fire.

Jiang Shengxue understood what Mei Zhenghan said, she lowered her head in shame, feeling extremely annoyed.Mei Zhenghan also felt sorry for her, and stroked her head to reassure her that Liang Jian would not take it to heart, but she still wanted to apologize.

Xu Ze's convoy had already gone a long way, Mei Zhenghan didn't talk to Jiang Shengxue, told Wen Yao to take good care of her, pulled up the reins, raised the whip and whipped the horse's ass, let the horse gallop forward, it was very fast Hurry up and catch up with Liang Jian.

The wind blew up Mei Zhenghan's long hair, and Liang Jian naturally reached out to take care of him. The two looked at each other and smiled, walking side by side and drifting away.

It only takes three days from Hongye City to Qingxi County. The last time Liang Jian and the others passed by here was to relieve Mei Zhenghan, they came in a hurry before the city gate fell, and left in a hurry after repairing. They have never seen the inside of the city. scenery.Coming back now, looking at the bustling streets and the people living and working in peace and contentment, Mei Zhenghan had mixed feelings in his heart.

The three of Liang Jian acted as guards all the way, and now that they arrived in Qingxi County, Xu Ze would never dare to wrong them, and sent someone back as soon as he entered the city to inform the family to clean out the wing to welcome the guests.

Liang Jian is going to Qiao County and won't stay here for a long time, so Xu Ze doesn't have to worry about it, just arrange a few rooms.

"Cheng... Mr. Liang came from a long way, even if I only stay for one night, I should do my best as a landlord and not trouble you." Xu Ze is not only well-versed in the way of being an official, but also very skilled in human relationships.Of course he knew that Liang Jian would not stay for long, but the etiquette that should be done must still be in place.

Liang Jian didn't want to take advantage of the privileges of the city lord when he arrived at someone else's site. He looked back at Jiang Shengxue, who was a little tired after living and sleeping in the open air these days, and didn't refute Xu Ze, and let him make arrangements.

Xu Ze is a clean and honest official, and his mansion is simple and unadorned. He has a good wife and two children at home.His son is 14 years old this year, just the age to be mischievous, when he heard Xu Ze came back, he happily ran out to greet Xu Ze and hugged Xu Ze in his arms.The daughter is still young, no more than seven or eight years old, she is cute and pleasing, she timidly follows Madam Xu, pulls Madam Xu's sleeves, and sneaks a look at the guests who come.

Xu Ze pulled his son off his body and asked him to stand upright, then turned around and cupped his hands at Liang Jian, "Don't take it for granted that the dog is naughty, Mr. Liang."

Even though Xu Ze said so, there was a doting smile on his brows and eyes.As a father, he naturally loves his children very much.

Liang Jian looked at the not-so-tall boy in front of him, and saw his big flexible eyes staring at her without fear. She found it very interesting, and asked, "I don't know what to call the young master?"

"My name is Xu Wenqiu, and this is my younger sister Xu Wenqi." The young master raised his chin and patted his chest to announce his family name, and at the end he also included his younger sister's name.

Seeing her brother mention her name, Xu Wenqi stepped out from behind Mrs. Xu and saluted Liang Jian.The little girl has an innocent look in her eyebrows, which is very pleasing.

Liang Jian looked at the two brothers and sisters with completely different personalities and was in a daze for a moment. Childhood memories flashed inappropriately. He rubbed his forehead to suppress the bloody things.Standing beside him, Mei Zhenghan thought that he was uncomfortable due to the wind, so he changed the topic and said, "Master Xu, you don't want us to stand on the wind all the time, do you?"

The weather in Qingxi County is colder than Hongye City, and Xu Ze's house is facing the wind, and the cold wind is blowing right now.Xu Ze quickly invited everyone to go inside, and let them go to the back room to warm up the cold.

Xu Ze's family only had a few old women who were rough envoys. They were all working in the house when Xu Ze's parents were still alive. When Xu Ze was the head of the family, they had nowhere to go when they got older, so Xu Ze left them at home to help out on weekdays. Do chores and chores, and only hire a few young and strong day laborers to help when the family is busy.

There were very few guests at home, so Mrs. Xu was very happy and cooked a table of delicious dishes for everyone.Wen Yao felt that his low status was inconvenient to sit with everyone, but Mei Zhenghan grabbed him and dragged him to the table.

"If brother Liang hadn't become the city lord, I would still be a wanted fugitive. My birth is worse than yours. Why do you despise yourself so much?"

Xu Ze's family doesn't pay much attention to meals, everyone just sits casually.Mei Zhenghan dragged Wen Yao to her side, seeing Liang Jian drinking with Xu Ze, lowered his voice and said to Wen Yao: "This time we are all companions when we go out to work with Brother Liang, no one treats you as a servant."

Both of Wen Yao's parents died when he was young, and he followed the master of Qianyu Sect in his early years and later joined the officialdom. His personality is honest and dull, and he is very introverted.He knew that he could be reused by Liang Jian because Song Yuankan recommended him to Liang Jian based on his past friendship, and he was always not confident in his heart.Mei Zhenghan's words warmed his heart, and his eyes turned red.

Seeing the two whispering in each other, Jiang Shengxue served Wen Yao a bowl of soup, and thanked her in a low voice: "I'm self-willed to cause you to run this trip, and if there is no drink, I will use this bowl of hot soup as wine, thank you Worried about my safety and chased me out. Brother Liang, I will explain it to you, so you don’t have to worry.”

What Jiang Shengxue served was a bowl of fish soup, with a few emerald green scallions floating on the milky white soup, it was very tempting | delicious.It was Wen Yao's duty to protect her. Seeing Jiang Shengxue thanking him, he immediately blushed and lowered his head while holding the bowl.

Liang Jian and Xu Ze were drinking wine, glanced inadvertently, and saw Jiang Shengxue and Mei Zhenghan sitting upright, and Wen Yao, who was in the middle, had his face buried on the table, and couldn't help laughing.

This young general named Wen Yao is okay, we can consider transferring him to protect Jiang Shengxue's safety in the future.
