The character design of the Flower of the High Ridge has collapsed

Chapter 43
Tai Chi Temple.

The ministers bowed their heads and held their breath, all silent.

Emperor Wen of Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon chair, suddenly threw down the official document in his hand: "A total of 200 million taels of silver, when we arrive at the front line, only 50 taels are left for military pay! In this battle, I am undefeated, whoever loses?" ! You guys, what do you say!"

Everyone immediately knelt down in fear, but still no one dared to answer.

Pei Xun stood up, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"Go ahead."

Pei Xun said conveniently: "The Ministry of Household Affairs, which is in charge of the foundation of the country, has made such a mistake. Considering the size of the country, there is still more corruption in the states and counties. I am willing to take over this task and pursue the war money from the treasury. I ask the emperor to approve it." .”

Seeing this, Su Qi'an also followed closely: "Your Majesty, I believe that if corruption is not clear, it is impossible to establish a country, let alone defeat Rouran. Therefore, cleaning up the sludge and rectifying the household department should be the top priority today. I am willing to take over this job, and I beg your majesty to approve it."

Emperor Wen of Zhou glanced at the two of them: "I am very pleased that the two lovers can take the initiative to invite you, but let me think about it."

Pei House.

Today, the sky was fine, Jiang Youzhi felt drowsy after dinner.

Mi'er broke in suddenly: "Miss, it's not good, the young master is injured!"

Jiang Youzhi woke up for a moment: "What's going on?"

Mi'er said: "I heard that on the way back to the house, there was a sneak attack, the young master did not expect it, and a sword was planted in the abdomen. I saw that there were a lot of blood cloths cleaned out in the room, and the injury may not be serious."

Jiang Youzhi didn't know why, she was so flustered, she got up and said, "I'll go and have a look."

In the east courtyard room.

While helping his young master to apply medicine, Ah Chang said: "Young master, you can just put on a show, why hurt yourself so badly?"

The wound was deep, but there was no wave on Pei Xun's face: "If there is no real sword, how can they believe it."

Ah Chang knew that the young master has always had his own opinions, so he said: "What the young master said is very true."

Suddenly, the door was pushed open by someone, and Jiang Youzhi rushed in eagerly.

At a glance, she saw the terrifying wound on Pei Xun's abdomen, which was a full three inches long, and the flesh and blood were clearly visible.

Jiang Youzhi stepped forward slowly, glanced at Ah Chang who was applying the medicine: "I'll do it."

Ah Chang was a little embarrassed, so Pei Xun said to him: "Go down."

When Ah Chang left, Jiang Youzhi slowly sat beside him, picked up the white bag and gently approached his wound.

Pei Xun didn't show any pain on her face, but the corners of her eyes were slightly red, and her voice was buzzing: "Does it hurt?"

Pei Xun just said: "It doesn't hurt."

Jiang Youzhi muttered to himself, "It's a lie."

After the wound was treated and wrapped with gauze, Jiang Youzhi asked slowly, "Who did it?"

Pei Xun said indifferently: "Su Qi'an."

When Jiang Youzhi heard this, he seemed to be angry, and his voice was a little anxious: "It's that scumbag again! I'll just go to him directly and try my best!"

As she said that, she got up and was about to go out, but Pei Xun grabbed her anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Youzhi turned around and fell on his lap.

Pei Xun held her waist firmly with one arm, but for some reason, his five fingers, which were slowly tightened, trembled a little.

The delicate and charming face, lively and fragrant, and endlessly alive, the flickering candles in the room are not as good as the remaining tears in her eyes.

The red corners of the eyes have become the most confusing temptation, making people want to stop.

"Knowing it's impossible, why are you messing around?" His deep voice lingered in Jiang Youzhi's ears.

The corners of her mouth moved and tickled, touching the fine hairs on her cheeks, causing tremors, and her warm breathing continued to intensify.

"You..." Jiang Youzhi couldn't help moving his body in order to avoid him, but the words came to an abrupt end, and his sense of touch was infinitely magnified.

This movement attracted countless people, a thunderbolt, a bolt of lightning exploded, and the thoughts in his eyes were completely ignited.

Jiang Youzhi was a little frightened, her eyes trembled slightly, mixed with helplessness, reflecting the bottomless depths of the man in front of her.

Such despondent eyes, but pure and innocent like the first dew on the lotus leaf in June, the fragility that is about to evaporate, the fear of the unknown, arouses the strongest protection desire in men.

"Why were you crying just now?" He approached slowly, and finally touched the unsteady face with calloused hands.

"Why?" His voice became deeper and deeper, and the distance from that slender and white neck was about to cross the thunder pool.

"I... I thought you would be in pain." Her voice was thin and weak, like a cat being strangled by someone.

"I thought you were crying because you cared about me, didn't you?" He straightened up slightly, and took another step forward.

Jiang Youzhi put one hand on his chest, but was almost burned by the fiery temperature, and there were incomprehensible beads of sweat in it, but he still stubbornly resisted.

The whisper in the ear sounded again: "Didn't you always care about me?"

Seeing that she didn't answer, Pei Xun suddenly tightened the arm around her waist, and the other hand on her shoulder gradually pressed hard.

"That's me being self-indulgent?"

Jiang Youzhi sensed his movement, her heart trembled, and her eyes were tinged with fear.

Seeing her like this, Pei Xun was full of interest, with a warm and fragrant soft jade in his arms, if he could act recklessly under the creamy and crispy texture, it would really make people imagine the wonderful taste in it.

"Don't be afraid." He comforted her unexpectedly, but the desire in his eyes didn't diminish a bit.

The palm resting on her waist slowly moved up...

"hiss!"

Pei Xun let out an unintentional sound of pain, and Jiang Youzhi saw that blood was oozing from his wound, so he immediately got up and said in a panic, "Are you all right?"

Pei Xun shook his head, but his voice seemed to be in pain: "Go down."

Jiang Youzhi was a little worried: "But you..."

But he was interrupted by his slightly cold voice: "Go out."

Seeing his overbearing appearance, Jiang Youzhi opened his mouth, but in the end he left without saying anything.

At the door, he kindly told Ah Chang that the son might have to change the gauze again.

But when Ah Chang just entered, he saw the young master who never cried out in pain, with his head down, clenched fists, and even trembling.

Then he said with concern: "My lord, I will help you..."

"go out!"

A violent voice sounded, and Ah Chang quickly disappeared without a trace.

What's going on here?Who messed with the son?
In the early morning of the second day, all the ministers left the court, and they were all talking about Mr. Pei not coming today, but the emperor entrusted him with the task of recovering the war money from the treasury.

Lord Wu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, said to Lord Gongsun, Minister of Zhongshu: "This time, the errand should belong to Mr. Su, but he is too reckless, and the emperor is most afraid of those who are eager for quick success."

Master Gongsun shook his head: "Whoever strikes first will have the biggest problem, but whether Master Su panicked or something else is unknown."

On Pei Xun's side, as soon as he received the imperial edict, he rushed into the palace regardless of his injuries.
