Chapter 184 The Only Light

At this time, Zeng Jiuyan was standing at the south gate of Yaotai Palace, he looked around, but he couldn't see his servant.

The north gate of the palace leads directly to the pier, but Bo Ling was not registered on the cruise ship list tonight, so she must be free to move on the shore like herself.

Zeng Jiuyan frowned, his design was very rigorous, why not only did he not see Bo Ling, but also his own servant?
"This... Young Master?" A soft female voice came from behind.

Zeng Jiuyan turned his head a little upset, and saw a young lady standing not far away, she was wearing a white jacket, her long hair was tied behind her back with a red ribbon, although she was a little shorter than herself...but If those tall beauties were scaled down, they would probably look like the person in front of them.

I don't know whose little lady is here alone at this late hour...

Zeng Jiuyan coughed lightly, and replied seriously like an upright gentleman, "What's the matter, girl?"

The beautiful little girl in white bowed slightly, "I saw a garden here earlier, and wandered around it out of curiosity... When I came out, I found that everyone was gone."

"Oh." Zeng Jiuyan nodded.

"...a friend kept reminding me before, saying that I must not be alone after nightfall, but it is so late now, and there is no one here again, I wonder if I can ask the young master to give me a ride, I have to see Ann The southeast port on the outside of the lake, my brother is waiting for me there."

Zeng Jiuyan looked at the weak person in front of him, and thought to himself that you are such a small one, it is of course very dangerous to be alone at night.

He finally looked around the four fields - there were still no servants or suspicious maids in his field of vision.

"Okay." Zeng Jiuyan raised his arm and placed it in front of the girl. "This section is rough and rough. Hold me and I'll take you to the shore."

The girl walked very slowly, Zeng Jiuyan also patiently slowed down his steps.

"Thank you so much," said the girl next to her with a smile, "Dare to ask your name?"

"Zeng Jiuyan." He replied softly.

"...Little Marquis?" The girl suddenly stopped and looked at him in surprise.

"Huh? Do you recognize me?"

The girl laughed, "I've heard your name before."

"..." Zeng Jiuyan glanced at the people around him with black lines all over his head, "...it's not a good reputation anyway, just hear it."

"Why not a good reputation?" The girl smiled and looked over seriously.

Zeng Jiuyan suddenly felt that this girl was a bit annoying, he sneered, "The so-called dude, a tyrant in Beijing, what else can I say?"

The girl didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly, staring at him a little uncomfortable.

"Mr. Zeng is a little arrogant." The girl seemed to really want to argue with him, her starry eyes were bright, and there was a bit of stubbornness in her voice, "Last year, the old man from Xiaoge occupied the eastern suburbs of Pingjing forcibly. In the [-]-acre paddy field of the common people, Mr. Zeng and his own troops not only trampled all the young crops in the paddy field, but also took the lead in beating up the guards guarding the field. The officials couldn't hold it back anymore, and this gave the common people justice."

"...Hmm." Zeng Jiuyan snorted.

"It was also last year," the girl continued, "it was also the people from Xiaoge's old side who reported to Jin Yiwei that more than a dozen households nearby had injured the dragon's veins, and they had to go door-to-door to pursue responsibility. It was Mr. Zeng you again. I came forward and pulled a group of Fengshui masters to smash the theory of dragon veins to the point where I saved the lives of those dozens of ashes collectors."

"And the reconstruction of Donglin Temple the year before last..."

"This year's Baihuaya Doujiu..."

"All right, all right." Zeng Jiuyan hurriedly interrupted the girl's words, and he was somewhat surprised that someone could tell all the "absurd things" he did.

This girl's flattery is a bit too much... Although it sounds quite comfortable, it seems to be talking about him like a hero for the country and the people.

Zeng Jiuyan thought for a while, but still waved his hand and denied, "I just saw that Mr. Song Na was upset, so I just punished them when I had time. I didn't think too much about it."

"Why isn't this a hero?" The girl sighed softly, "Why don't you answer my question, Mr. Zeng, what counts as a country and what counts as a people?"

Zeng Jiuyan frowned slightly, but did not answer, he looked at the girl beside him.

The girl continued, "How many people are plundering in the name of the country. My brother used to sigh with me, the so-called 'those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be lords'."

She looked deeply at the lights on the far shore, and said word by word, "I have never seen any 'country', only the 'people' one by one in the 'country'... Those ordinary people started to enrich their own pockets from oppression and plunder, and they are big robbers."

This view made Zeng Jiuyan's heart move slightly.

Have you never seen any "country", only the "people" one by one in the "country"...

This statement is interesting.

Zeng Jiuyan looked at the girl beside him, nodded and said, "What you said... makes sense."

"Yeah." The girl nodded, "So you don't have to underestimate yourself, Mr. Zeng. The young people in my Dazhou should be so fearless, just go up blindly, and don't listen to those who give up on themselves. Those who can do things do things and can speak out Make a sound. There is a little heat and a little light. Even a firefly can emit a little light in the dark without waiting for the torch. If there is no torch after that, then you are the only light[1].”

Zeng Jiuyan felt as if a bell was ringing in his ears, he took a deep breath, and put away the last bit of cynicism on his face.

There is heat, and there is light.

After that, if there is no torch, then I am the only light.

"What's the girl's name?" Zeng Jiuyan looked at the girl next to him, his eyes ignited with passion, "Which adult is your father in the court, if you can say such a thing, your father must not be an easy person."

The girl smiled, shook her head and said, "My father is just a medical officer, he only cares about people, and doesn't ask anything else."

"Doctor?"

Zeng Jiuyan paused in his heart, then slowly frowned, an ominous premonition quietly surfaced in his heart.

His throat moved, and it took a long time before he asked in a low voice, "I don't know... Which imperial physician is it?"

"My father is Bai Shijun, the new imperial physician of the Taiyuan Hospital." The girl replied calmly. She looked at Zeng Jiuyan with a kind smile on her face, "My name is Bai Ling, and I am now working as a doctor in Chengqian Palace."

The corner of Zeng Jiuyan's mouth twitched slightly.

I go……

At this moment, he only felt ten thousand wild horses roaring past in his heart.
