Long Xiao wipes Qingfeng

"Keep your voice down, Zhong Beining is also in power in Linye now, if someone with a heart passes it on, it's not good." Someone reminded in a low voice with a wine glass.

"What are you afraid of? It's not too close to Linye. They just finished the war. What are they doing here? Besides, I heard that Linye is under the control of Emperor Ji Yongmu..." Zhang Shi said.

Zhong Shuo really wanted to say that Xiao Jiu actually sent a secret agent to Qianghu, so Xiao Jiu probably knew about any rumors.

He knew that Xiao Jiu's reputation was not good in the capital, but he didn't expect that it would be the same in the west... As for trampling people to death, it might be true.

Xiao Jiu has his own reasons for everything he does, probably just because he is pushed.

Zhong Shuo felt sorry for Xiao Jiu in his heart.

They were talking about Emperor Yongmu and Concubine Zhong here, Zhong Shuo stuffed meat into his mouth expressionlessly, and was full for a while.

Qianghu's singing and dancing are different from Changhua's. The dancer has a slender waist and bold and gorgeous movements, which is very eye-catching.

After the song was over, the dancer was about to leave the stage, but was stopped by someone.

The voice came from the second floor, and it was a low-pitched male voice, "There's no need to retreat, come up."

The wine glass in Zhong Shuo's hand shattered!

It's Xiao Jiu.

"Why is this wine glass so brittle?" Zhang Shi looked at the liquid and debris in Zhong Shuo's hand, and was very dissatisfied with the things in the posthouse.

Zhong Shuo came back to his senses, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, Brother Zhang, maybe this cup has been used for a long time and it's not fresh, just change it."

"Okay, let's change it. This boss is the same. He won't replace the old one with a new one." Zhang Shi didn't care much.

Zhong Shuo forced a smile: "Well, you guys eat first, I'll make it easier for you."

"Go." Zhang Shi waved his hand, and Zhong Shuo got up and walked back.

Xiao Jiu suddenly had a chill down his spine in the seat on the second floor, and his hair stood on end for no reason.

At the moment, he is dressed like a businessman, wearing brocade clothes and fox fur, he looks very rich.

This was the fifth day he was looking for Zhong Shuo. On that day, he didn't find Zhong Shuo in the cave, so he had to go back the same way. After rectifying the discipline in the army, he immediately brought people out to look for Zhong Shuo.

He sent people to find out the news, and learned that some businessmen knew about the cave, so he went to the post station where most businessmen passed by to check the news, and called the dancer to ask some questions.

Unexpectedly, Zhong Shuo caught him.

When Zhong Shuo went upstairs, Xiao Jiu was behind the heavy guards, and the dancer was sitting beside him, holding a glass of wine to respect him with winking eyes.Zhong Shuo watched helplessly as the glass of wine was about to reach Xiao Jiu's lips, and the Baipi at his waist came out of its sheath in an instant, and with a "duh", it was nailed to the wall behind Xiao Jiu's head, and along the way, cut off the glass of wine. A wisp of blue hair of a delicate dancing girl.

Xiao Jiu's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't believe it when he saw Zhong Shuo in a daze.

Zhong Shuo had already told Songzhu with a cold face, "Take this girl away."

"Yes." Songzhu bowed and retreated, and the original guards also retreated from the second floor, leaving only the two of them.

Zhong Shuo stepped forward to put away his sword, and then said nothing.

Naturally he was angry.

He worked so hard day and night to rush back, he was afraid that he would be frightened if he was late, but he was better off, he even dared to call a dancer when he came here to find someone...

Xiao Jiu's heart is empty.

"Beining, are you seriously injured?"

Zhong Shuo poured himself a cup of hot tea, "It's not heavy."

"Beining, I was wrong, please don't do this, my name is Wuji, I want to ask for news about the caravan, in order to find you, trust me."

Zhong Shuo didn't agree with him, "I trust Your Highness."

"Beining... Look, I've lost weight the past few days looking for you, don't you feel bad?" Xiao Jiu had no choice but to pretend to be weak.

It is said that there is no man in the world who does not like weak

…Obviously Zhong Shuo was not among them, he glanced at Xiao Jiu indifferently, "Your Highness would look better if she was thinner."

Xiao Jiu: "..."

He shut up aggrievedly, grabbed Zhong Shuo's fingers and shook them, "You look bad, you're exhausted, do you want to eat something first?"

"Shall I cook porridge for you?"

Zhong Shuo lost his temper when he shook him, "Your Highness, don't do this."

"Absolutely not." Xiao Jiu pointed to the sky and swore, "She came up to her just now, even if you don't come over, I will get out of the way."

"Well, I know." Zhong Shuo was only a little angry when he saw the situation suddenly, not because he was angry with Xiao Jiu, but when his mind cooled down, he felt that he was so boring and embarrassed.

"It's fine if you don't get angry. Songzhu told me that you were stabbed in the shoulder. How is the injury?"

"It's all right. I was rescued by a group of merchants. The wound has been treated properly and is already healing. Your Highness does not need to worry."

Xiao Jiu was still worried, but there was no way for Zhong Shuo to take off his clothes to look at the injury. He was anxious and said, "The carriage is parked in the backyard, go to the carriage, let me see your injury?"

Zhong Shuo said: "We shouldn't stay here for long, we'd better return to Linye as soon as possible, and leave now."

"Alright, you won a great battle, and if you are not in the army for a long time, there will always be people who will become suspicious."

"Well, it is also very hard for His Royal Highness to manage the army alone."

Xiao Jiu smiled and said, "It's nothing, after all, everything will be left to Jiang Xi."

Zhong Shuo still felt sorry for him, "Go back and make up for it."

"Okay, let's go."

Xiao Jiu pretended to be a businessman and went out to look for Zhong Shuo. He didn't bring many people with him, just a few camels, a few carriages and carts, so he walked slowly.

In the carriage, Xiao Jiu carefully lifted off Zhong Shuo's coarse clothes, looked at the wound, and found that it really healed very quickly, and only needed some more medicine.

After tying up the wound and changing his clothes, Xiao Jiu said: "Among the merchants who saved you are people who are skilled in medicine, and the medicine they used is also very good."

Zhong Shuo nodded: "Yes, that medicine is quite miraculous." Although no bones were injured, it was not easy to heal a penetrating wound in such a short period of time.

"I wonder if I can buy some from them."

Zhong Shuo thought for a while, "Maybe it is possible, but those people are refugees from the two countries, and they may be very wary and hard to find their whereabouts."

Xiao Jiu was surprised: "How do you know their identities?"

"There are a lot of Qianghu people in the caravan, and the merchants value profit. They know that I am a general of the enemy country but they don't hand me over to the Qianghu royal family to claim credit. And, although the Han people among them cover it well, I accidentally saw a tattoo on the side of a person’s face.”

Changhua will inflict black ink on the face of the prisoner as a punishment.

"Presumably these people got together in one place to make a living while fleeing." Xiao Jiu knocked on the little table, "Changhua can't be like this."

Regardless of whether it was a wrongful sentence or a real crime in exile, the existence of such a group of people at least shows that the law is not strict, the supervision is not effective, and the judge is unknown.

In the long run, absolutely not.

What he thought, Zhong Shuo also thought about, but this kind of thing is still beyond their capabilities.

Zhong Shuo held Xiao Jiu's fingertips and said, "Your Highness, we still have a long time, so take your time."

"Okay, take your time." Xiao Jiu tidied his hair with a smile.

It took the two of them three days to return to Linye, and Zhong Shuo's injury healed a lot. Xiao Jiu wanted him to recover for two more days, but without turning his head, Zhong Shuo put on his armor and went to train soldiers.

Xiao Jiu couldn't control him, and he had a lot of business to deal with, so he had to let Xi Wen look at Zhong Shuo.

When Zhong Shuo returned to the tent, he was held down forcibly, and he was not allowed to go out.

"Now I'm young and don't take care of it, it's too late to regret it when I'm old." Xiao Jiu nagged Zhong Shuo while serving him the black-bone chicken soup stewed in the kitchen for him to drink.

Zhong Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "I'm not that delicate, I'll be fine once my injury is healed, and I used to be like this."

"The past is the past, the present is the present, drink up."

Xiao Jiu stuffed him with a small porcelain spoon, and while Zhong Shuo was drinking the soup, he said, "This time it's a great victory, and I'll leave the rest to Jiang Xi. Just be a hands-off shopkeeper and practice every day." That’s all for military training, don’t worry about the others.”

Zhong Shuo put down the spoon and said embarrassedly, "It seems that something is wrong. Big brother Jiang came all the way, after all, he can't be tired like this."

Xiao Jiu didn't care, and said: "Don't feel sorry for him, he will do more and go back so that the emperor can give him a promotion."

Jiang Xi's visit this time can be said to be for military exploits, and it can also be regarded as Emperor Longde's way to win over the Jiang family. Xiao Jiu also needed him, so he simply asked him to do more work, so that he could write more on the notebook.

Hearing what he said, Zhong Shuo stopped thinking about letting Jiang Xi rest, and thought about finding more memorable things for him to do some other day.

Xiao Jiu scooped up another bowl of clear porridge for him, and said with a smile, "Besides, when I reached the marriageable age, I planned to marry Jiang Xi."

Zhong Shuo:! ! !

Xiao Jiu put the porridge on the table, "Speaking of which, when you were fighting in the north, I had a fierce fight with the emperor, so he naturally wanted to marry me to an ordinary noble family with no power and no power, but it hindered the Jiang family. I can't act either, it's best for me to marry Jiang Xi under such circumstances."

After waiting for Zhong Shuo to drink the porridge, he continued: "Before you came back, I conspired with Jiang Xi to have a private meeting, so that the emperor could see it. He would naturally marry me to Jiang Xi for the sake of the royal family's face, or You came back in time, and as the best candidate, the emperor gave you the marriage in a hurry, why don't you think about why I can't walk around at will before I get married? He is the one who guards against me."

Zhong Shuo couldn't think about it, if he came back later, Jiang Xi would have married Xiao Jiu!

Not very acceptable...

Fortunately, I fought beautifully in the last battle.

Xiao Jiu finally revealed his purpose, "So, if you still dare to go missing during the war and don't come back, I'll marry Jiang Xi and give you a cuckold, understand?"

Zhong Shuo: ...

He said: "Your Majesty knows, I will definitely think more about His Highness in the future. This time it was also a sudden accident. I didn't expect that there was a woman in that team."

Xiao Jiu said: "I haven't asked you yet, what happened to the woman you brought back? You gave me a cuckold?"

Zhong Shuo drank soup and porridge, and said, "Your Highness, don't make trouble, the wound on my shoulder was stabbed by that woman, probably the wife of the general I killed."

Xiao Jiu thought for a while, and said, "Who is the general who chased you? Do you know?"

Zhong Shuo shook his head and said, "I don't know, but the general looks young, about twenty years old, and he also wields a scimitar, with a red feather on his head."

Xiao Jiu said: "I heard that only generals and warriors in Qianghu can wear feathers. They are still red, and their status should not be low. They may be the key figures in the leadership of Qianghu this time."

Zhong Shuo asked doubtfully, "The woman...?"

Xiao Jiu said: "The woman didn't say a word after being captured, she looked very sad, how about letting the first few prisoners of war recognize her?"

Zhong Shuo said, "Alright."

Xiao Jiu picked up the bowl he had used, and said, "Lie down for a while, I will take care of this with Jiang Xi." Zhong Shuo watched Xiao Jiu leave, and then lay down silently—then took out the bowl and hid it in his bosom. look at the documents.
