Although Xian Ge's face was a little pale, he managed to maintain a straight face and bowed to Mingyi in courtesy, "I came here rashly today because I was concerned about the Governor's injury. Since the Governor has been able to go to the outer courtyard to serve on the board of directors, there must be nothing serious. So, Then I can feel at ease. I'm sorry for bothering you, Madam, so I'll take my leave now."
"It's already this hour, Miss Xiange should finish her lunch before leaving!" Mingyi said, just as it happened, Songfeng was already jogging back.
When he arrived in front of Mingyi, he said with a smile without waiting for Mingyi's instructions, "The governor said that Mrs. Lao stayed with him all night last night and it was very hard. He had already asked the kitchen to make some love for Mrs. Eat, eat, and come back to dine with Madam after a while..."
Xian Ge couldn't listen any longer, "I have something to do in Fallen Immortal Tower, so I won't interrupt you and say goodbye first!" After that, he gave Mingyi a hurried blessing, then turned around and walked out quickly.
"Hey!" Mingyi shouted, but he couldn't stop her. She had already walked out the door. Mingyi could only say, "Fengyu, go and see her off!"
"Yes!" Feng Yu took the order and came out.
Songfeng looked at Mingyi hesitantly and said, "The governor got angry and asked the military judge to execute Mr. Xue. He also invited all the generals who were discussing the matter in the study to watch the execution!"
Mingyi raised her eyes and saw that Xian Ge, who had already walked into the courtyard, suddenly stagnated. After a moment, she took another step forward, but her back was full of loneliness and frustration.
Mingyi sighed softly, "Commander, why do you have to..." After all, Xian Ge was Xue Bai's unmarried wife, and Xue Lin obviously respected Xue Bai so much. Over the years, he had regarded Xian Ge, Xue Tai and the others You can tell that they are family members, but now, they are so merciless.
Not only Xiange, but also Mingyi herself thought it was because of her, which made her feel... very guilty.
Songfeng didn't say anything. He just followed the governor's instructions to convey the message. As for what the governor thought, he really didn't know.
Mingyi sighed softly, "That's all." Although Xue Lin's approach was a little ruthless, there are some things where it is better to cut the knot with a quick knife! But...why is this person thinking about cutting through the mess with a quick knife now? What were you doing earlier? Could he still be unaware of Xian Ge's thoughts?
"I really didn't notice it!" When Xue Lin came back for lunch, listening to Mingyi's questioning and looking at her eyes full of suspicion, he really wanted to say that he was wronged, and sighed deeply, "If I had noticed it earlier. , how could you let it go?"
"When she met my eldest brother, I was just a teenager. I also knew that their relationship was very good. It was not just the fate of their parents or the words of the matchmaker. After my eldest brother passed away, she was devastated. She had already saved enough money to redeem herself. However, she resolutely stayed in the Fallen Immortal Tower and climbed to the position of oiran, just to be the eyes and ears, to find out the truth of the year, and to restore my eldest brother's innocence. These years, I have really treated her like my elder sister-in-law. I respected him so much that I didn’t think much about it until..."
He had never thought about the love between his children before. Although he was not young anymore, he had never thought about anything charming. What's more, he had preconceptions. He always felt that Xian Ge loved Xue Bai deeply, so how could he think about anything else? It wasn't until later that he fell in love with Mingyi that he felt enlightened. In addition, because of Mingyi, Xiange also lost some sense of proportion in his actions. Xue Lin was already sharp, so how could he not notice it?
I treat you as my sister-in-law, but you treat me as my best friend? Mingyi sighed, not knowing what to say. She really wanted to ask Xue Lin how it felt to be secretly in love with someone she respected as her sister-in-law, but after looking at his depressed expression and his quick actions to cut through the mess as soon as he noticed it, there was probably no need to ask. . On the contrary, Xian Ge was a little pitiful. Xue Lin was kind to her because Xue Bai was kind to her, and she was already stuck in the quagmire. Such kindness was naturally very precious. No matter when her feelings for Xue Lin changed, she was destined to be hurt when she faced such a steadfast lover. But... Xian Ge is also stupid. She knows how much Xue Lin respects Xue Bai, and this love is unlikely to have any results, but she still plunges into it, like a moth to the flame.
Look! This is love between men and women. It makes people stupid, blind, and troublesome. Why bother with it?
"If brother Quanxia knew about it, I would really have no face to face him!" Xue Lin had no idea what Mingyi was thinking. If he knew, he would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
The next day, the news from Jizhou arrived. After Xue Lin opened the letter sent by Yuan Tuo Kuai Ma, his face was as dark as water, and he told Mingyi that the charred corpse found in the Jizhou Prefectural Mufu was indeed not Jin Changguo. . Jin Changguo has been friends with Yuantuo's father, the patriarch of Mingdao Village for decades. It is precisely because Jin Changguo has "kindness" to the patriarch, and the patriarch must repay his kindness, that he has mobilized the power of Mingdaozhai. , has been helping Jin Changguo.
Jin Changguo's "kindness" to the elder was precisely because he saved the elder from a flood. For this reason, a leg bone was punctured. However, there was no trace on the leg bone of the charred corpse. , it became a flaw.
Yuan Tuo regretted very much. Why didn't he think of checking the leg bones of the charred corpse? He was so careless that he didn't realize that Jin Changguo had shed his golden cicada shell.
And Xue Lin doesn't regret it. What's more, Jin Changguo is related to Xue Bai ten years ago. The clues are cut off. Jin Changguo and his other path are all in Kezi. If they continue to investigate, they will inevitably take risks. No wonder Xue Lin continues to For two days, my whole body was filled with a bone-chilling cold that kept strangers away.
Fortunately, this stranger did not include Mingyi. However, in the past two days, even to Mingyi, he would never speak unless necessary. Mingyi did not want to bring trouble to himself, so he was busy with his own business. Although the caravan She has already set off, but she still has unfinished account books. When Hua Xiangrong comes out with this month's account books, it's time for Fuji and Deji Hall to set up shop in other state capitals.
On this day, another urgent letter was sent to the Governor's Mansion. After Xue Lin finished reading, his eyebrows instantly relaxed, as if the clouds had cleared and the mist had dispersed, and the sky had cleared up after the rain. Although he still looked calm, his whole person seemed to become brighter, even slightly squinting. The corner of his lips said to Mingyi, "Master is coming back."
"Who?" Mingyi was having a headache with the accounts. She was still a little confused when she heard the word "Master". When she asked, she realized, "Is that Mr. Li?"
Xue Lin nodded, "Now that the government and military affairs of He and Shou Prefectures have been sorted out, Master no longer needs to stay there. Now that the border patrol has arrived, Master has thought of returning to Beiguan to help me. , he was already on the way when this letter was sent, and he will arrive tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will take you to see him by then." Xue Lin couldn't wait to take Mingyi to see Li Zhi, and couldn't wait to tell Master , he not only wanted to treat his wife with respect, but also wanted to try the harmony between the piano and the harp that the master said.
Mingyi saw the admiration and longing in Xue Lin's eyes when he mentioned this Mr. Li. It was rare for him to show his emotions like this. Mingyi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, "I only know that this Mr. Li has had Even His Majesty treats him differently as a person. He is the head of many staff in the Anxi Army, but you don't know that he is actually your master?"
"He taught me reading, literacy, horseback riding and archery. I inherited most of my skills from him..."
"He is my master, and he has gone through the formal apprenticeship ceremony. From now on, I will have to support him until his death. Since my wife has married me, I am afraid she will have to come with me."
