I'm a bully in troubled times

Gongsun Ke's heart skipped a beat, this is going to be a bad thing.

After all, when he checked, he did it secretly and didn't let others know.Qi Ranming also didn't know that Jiang Yu had been assassinated.

Qi Ranming stood at the gate of the yard, watching that Jiang Yu didn't come over.But Gongsun Ke could see clearly that Qi Ranming was gripping the door frame with his fingers until his knuckles turned white, obviously he had used a lot of strength.There was no expression on his face, but disappointment and bewilderment were hidden in his eyes.

Gongsun Ke looked at Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu didn't take the initiative to step forward, nor did he call Qi Ranming, the two looked at each other silently.So Qi Ranming looked at it for a while, didn't come in again, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and left without looking back.

"Qi Ranming!" Gongsun Ke called out, but Qi Ranming ignored him.

"My lord." Gongsun Ke turned to look at Jiang Yu, a little anxious for Jiang Yu, why didn't he chase after him?

Thinking of how he took the initiative to find Qi Ranming yesterday, Jiang Yu was also a little depressed, and turned around and entered the room, saying: "He didn't ask about the process or the facts, and he directly convicted me and decided that I was a People who kill indiscriminately, what can I explain?"

Gongsun Ke was at a loss for words, and said again: "...Although that is the case, but the matter of the Ji Mansion comes first, he is in a fit of anger. I have misunderstood your lord, but it is understandable. Why should your lord be angry with him, and with yourself?"

Jiang Yu glanced at him: "Now you are talking for him."

Gongsun Ke: "...Didn't you recognize him, my lord? You are my master, so he is my mistress. There must be more understanding between the two of you."

Jiang Yu: "..."

"Now it's clear."

Gongsun Ke thought to himself, maybe he was moved by Qi Ranming's seriousness when he carved the jade.In fact, it was just a jade pendant, which was not a rare item for Jiang Yu.

But even for such a small thing, Qi Ranming is willing to spend so much time doing things that he is not good at, polishing bit by bit, just because it is for Jiang Yu.Gongsun Ke felt that this mistress was also good.

Qi Ranming is not bad looking, he has read books and can read characters, can play the piano and play chess, changing gender is a level that only a proper lady can have.Besides, Qi Ranming's martial arts are still very strong, with one more Qi Ranming, wouldn't Jiang Yu have one more person to protect him?If it is a lady from an official family, let alone know how to fight, it will probably be a drag.

Apart from infertility, everything else is fine.

Qi Ranming turned around and left without asking, which made Jiang Yu feel uncomfortable. He read the book absent-mindedly for most of the day, and before he knew it, it was already dark in the blink of an eye.After thinking about it, Jiang Yu thought that she should explain to Qi Ranming and not suffer this kind of ambiguity.

However, before explaining, Jiang Yu received another letter from his family, from Xun Shu.

However, after Jiang Yu took the note from Gongsun Ke and unfolded it, he found that it was not written by Xun Rong, but by Xun Rong. There were a few lines of dignified and elegant hairpin small script on the paper, and there were water marks on the paper after drying. The traces are probably tears, as if the writer is crying while writing.

"Nephew Jiang Yu, your uncle has suddenly contracted a serious illness, his mind is in a trance, coughing up blood day and night, and he may be unable to recover... Uncle misses you very much, hope to return soon."

After a few short sentences, Jiang Yu read them all at a glance.But after reading it, he couldn't help but read it again, only to confirm that he was not mistaken, it was indeed Xun Rong's handwriting, and Xun Shu was indeed seriously ill.

"My lord?" Gongsun Ke didn't know what was written in the letter, seeing that Jiang Yu's expression was wrong, he asked, "What happened?"

Jiang Yu handed the note to Gongsun Ke, and after reading it, Gongsun Ke frowned: "The ruling lord is seriously ill, should you go back as soon as possible?"

The relationship between Jiang Yu and Xun Shu has not been very close these years, and they only go for a walk during the New Year's festival, or get together because of political affairs, and discuss a few words.In terms of family affection, there is not much.But Xun Shu was still Jiang Yu's only blood relative in this era, and he was the one who saved Jiang Yu from having to watch the New Year's Eve alone.

It was the person Jiang Yu wanted to bring Qi Ranming to meet.

Don't say that there is a blood relationship, even a rock is warmed up, how can it be possible to have no feelings for so many years?

"Didn't you go well when you left?" Gongsun Ke said, "How come it's only been a month..."

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and rubbed his forehead: "Uncle has been sleepy and sleepy for many years. He has devoted himself to the country of Yan, and he has already become sick from overwork. Now that the domestic reform is entering a critical period, uncle must have not done a good job since the beginning of the year. rested."

"The ruler is dedicated to his duties, caring about the country and the people... is worthy of admiration." Gongsun Ke said, "but he doesn't care about his body..."

"My aunt probably wants me to go back as soon as possible and see my uncle for the last time. My uncle's long-cherished wish in his life has not been fulfilled, so he must have something to ask me." Jiang Yu said.

Gongsun Ke: "Your Excellency has issued an order this morning to return to the country early tomorrow morning. The subordinates have already packed up today. We will leave early tomorrow morning. We will hurry up on the road so that we can catch up."

"Let's hope." When such news came without warning, Jiang Yu always had some ominous premonition in his heart. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "Gongsun Ke, do you think uncle is really sick?"

Gongsun Ke: "What does your lord mean?"

Jiang Yu lowered his head and stroked the writing on the paper with his fingers: "...My parents died unjustly in prison because of the reform, and now my uncle is also... It's hard for me not to think about it."

"Could it be that Dong's plan was repeated and murdered uncle?"

"..." Gongsun Ke bowed: "I don't know the situation in Beijing, so my subordinates dare not speak nonsense."

However, Jiang Yu opened his eyes, his eyes were slightly cold, showing a faint killing intent: "If this is the case, I will make Dong Shi pay the price, let them know the lesson, and they will no longer be able to do such dirty things."

From a political point of view, Xun Shu was someone Jiang Yu admired very much.Jiang Yu asked himself that he couldn't be like Xun Shu, who died after death, disregarding his life, only for the prosperity of his family and the well-being of the people.

If even such people were killed because of the conservative party's self-righteous inherent interests, but no one took care of them, then what future does the country of Yan have?

At night, Jiang Yu knocked on Qi Ranming's door for the second time.

Because of the news that Xun Shu was sick and dying, Jiang Yu felt a little heavy in his heart, and felt that the moonlight in the courtyard was as cold as frost, and the evening wind blew through his clothes, and the coolness penetrated to the marrow of his bones.After Jiang Yu knocked on the door for the first time, no one came to answer the door. Jiang Yu used his internal strength to dispel the coolness of the evening wind, and knocked a second time.

Fingers tapped on the wooden door, making a light "click" sound in the dark night, making the night more and more lonely.Jiang Yu approached the door and whispered, "Ranming, it's me."

Before Qi Ranming opened the door, Jiang Yu told himself in his heart not to be impatient, just to speak clearly.

After a rustling sound came from the room, the door opened, and Qi Ranming stood at the door.

"What are you doing here?" Qi Ranming asked.

"..." This opening statement was too unfriendly, Jiang Yu opened his mouth, "...Let me explain what happened in the morning."

"You have a reason?" Qi Ranming said.

Jiang Yu: "..."

Even though it is true, Qi Ranming always feels a little ironic when he says this.Jiang Yu didn't understand, why did he get so angry without listening to the explanation?Is Qi Ranming such a vexatious person?

But Jiang Yu soon realized something was wrong.

——He found that Qi Ranming seemed to be a little uneasy now, as if he was using such harsh words to cover up something so that he would not find out.

Upon discovering this, Jiang Yu calmed down instead, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qi Ranming: "..."

Jiang Yu: "Why didn't you open the door when I knocked?"

Qi Ranming avoided Jiang Yu's gaze with a guilty conscience, and said in a low voice: "...I rested, I didn't hear."

This reason was so clumsy that Jiang Yu didn't know how to continue asking.He found that Qi Ranming really couldn't lie at all.

Jiang Yu pursed her lips, pushed Qi Ranming away, took a step into the room, glanced around, but didn't see anyone else.But between the bed curtains, a package was faintly revealed, half-opened, with clothes inside.It's like packing up and leaving.

Jiang Yu turned his head to look at Qi Ranming who dared not look at him, and suddenly felt a little tired.

He seemed to be unable to catch this person no matter what, he would leave at any time for various reasons, when he left quietly, and when he came in a hurry, like a gust of wind.

It's obviously a matter between two people, but it seems that he is the only one who is worried, uneasy, and trying to resolve the conflict to save it.Ironically, when he was thinking about how to explain, this man had no intention of listening to any explanation and was leaving, so merciless.

And Qi Ranming didn't seem to intend to explain anything.

"Heh." Jiang Yu waited for a while, lowered his eyes, and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, then turned and left without saying anything more.

"Jiang Yu." Qi Ranming took a step out of the door, looked at Jiang Yu's back, and thought of something, so he didn't continue to follow.

After leaving Qi Ranming's courtyard, Jiang Yu walked around the post house, not in a hurry to go back.

The evening breeze was slightly cool, blowing on the man's face, it seemed that he could calm down and wake up his feverish head in the past few months.Ever since Qi Ranming ran to his house with injuries all over his body in a snowstorm last year, and told him not to leave again, Jiang Yu really thought that he had found that person, who could walk with him all the time and become the person he was in. The only bondage person in this world.

He has no relatives, Xun Shu counts as one, and now his life is hanging by a thread, and it is not known whether he will see him for the last time.He doesn't have many friends, Ji Chunshen is one, but he has completely disappointed him, and they can never get together again.

He is obviously the Suiyang Lord whom everyone admires and envies, but he is empty-handed and alone, like a piece of duckweed floating on the water without roots.

Finally one day he saw the shore, but a wave hit him farther away.

That being the case, that's all.

When Jiang Yu returned to his room, Gongsun Ke was taken aback. He felt that he hadn't seen Jiang Yu's face like this for many years.The last time we saw each other was 12 years ago.

"My lord, my condolences." Gongsun Ke thought it was Xun Shu's matter, and it hit Jiang Yu too hard.

Jiang Yu walked into the room, lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "From now on, you won't have a mistress."

"What?" Gongsun Ke was stunned, "Why?"

Jiang Yu said: "Let's go out, I'm tired, we will set off tomorrow morning, don't worry about him."

Gongsun Ke was full of question marks, but Jiang Yu had driven him out mercilessly.

Gongsun Ke was at a loss. He was sure that there must be some misunderstanding between the two, but Jiang Yu obviously wouldn't tell him.Gongsun Ke had no choice but to ask Qi Ranming.

However, he knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it, so he had to push the door in by himself, only to find that the room was empty and there was no one there.
