last time

Chapter 78
The weather was fine, Li Xunchuan and Liu Yulin arranged things perfectly, the Imperial College was in good order, the repairs were done quickly and well, all problems were solved, there was enough money, and no one owed anything.Chu Shiyu was overjoyed, and the people rewarded many things one by one.

When Li Xunchuan got up in the morning, he saw Chang Yinyu waiting in the courtyard early. He looked down at Chang Yinyu and said, "What's wrong."

"You should let my master go." Chang Yinyu put his hands on his hips, looked back at the three people hiding under the eaves of the corridor, and said, "Your Majesty has just given you a reward. Please don't embarrass us, Governor."

Li Xunchuan came down and said, "Be smarter in the future, your master is ruthless enough to think too much, don't let her take risks alone."

If only he could manage it.Chang Yinyu raised an eyebrow, showed a very polite smile, and said, "What the governor said is true."

"Go in, she's awake." Li Yanchuan lifted his robe and stepped out, calling the three hiding people out of the mansion together.Far away from the boss of the mansion, Li Yuchuan frowned, and said impatiently: "Songzi, you go back to the mansion and drive Chang Yinyu out of me!"

"Why?" Wu Song looked at Li Yuchuan, saw that he didn't want to explain and had a fierce look on his face, so he lowered his head and said, "Got it."

After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage.Xiyu watched Wu Song run back, then looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "What's the matter, master?"

"Nothing." Li Yanchuan shook his head slightly and said: "The rewards given by His Majesty will be distributed to the brothers as soon as possible. Don't miss anyone or delay anything. You have worked hard during this period. In the future, I will arrange more things for the garrison. Accept this kindness."

Gu Zhao nodded, and said: "Master is sympathetic. This time, Xiong Zhenghao and I found a few people who were acting abnormally when we helped move supplies to Lianhua Lane. It was just because of His Majesty's order that we didn't pursue them too much. Xiong Zhenghao had already sent these few People are watching, and the master will go to make a decision."

"Well done." Li Yuchuan nodded and said, "I originally suspected that that group of people would not act alone, and would definitely infiltrate contacts in some places. I just didn't expect that there were also people in the Imperial Army."

"Master, don't worry." Xi Yu said, "Let's continue to follow the clue of the purple sand that Song Zi said, maybe we can find out the ins and outs of these things."

Li Xunchuan raised his hand and lifted the curtain, watching the red sun gradually rise into the bright sky outside, he sighed quietly, and said: "There is no need to rush this matter, it must be squeezed out slowly."

Fu Sisi rejected Han Congzhong's and Zhou Yu's request to see Zhuo Ran several times due to the complicated situation, and finally took Liu Yulin's pocketbook, signed and sealed it, and they couldn't say anything more .

Fu Sisi was worrying about how to fool them over again, when she saw Zhuo Ran and Chang Yinyu walking over together.That's good too, everything is over, if Zhuo Ran doesn't show up again, I'm afraid he really won't be able to hide anything.

Chang Yinyu didn't go in, and walked around the street with Fu Sisi for a few laps.

Zhuo Ran pushed open the gate of Zuixue Court, the students there had all moved back home, it was empty, only the backyard was still moving.Holding her dress, she walked over slowly, and seeing Han Congzhong sitting at the stone table playing alone, Zhuo Ran took a deep breath, and called softly.

Han Congzhong looked up and saw Zhuo Ran, and immediately smiled and said, "Xiaqiu is here, come and sit down, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Zhuo Ran was sitting in front of Han Congzhong. She looked down at the chessboard and said with a smile, "I've been busy recently, so I haven't come to see Master and Uncle Zhou often. Are you all healthy?"

"Alright." Han Congzhong handed Zhuo Ran a cup of tea, and said, "Come on, let Master see what to do next?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a moment, then picked up a chess piece, placed it in the center of the board, raised her eyes and said, "Master, how about this move?"

"Very good," Han Congzhong praised, "It really is a fearsome future generation."

Zhuo Ran didn't speak, and straightened the chess pieces one by one.

Han Congzhong stood up, and he walked slowly under the grape shed, looking down at the few seedlings.Although it was rainy for several days, these seedlings were still taken care of by him very well, he suddenly said: "You knew about the relationship between Yongniang and Yan Yingzhen a long time ago, right?"

Zhuo Ran's hands froze.

Han Congzhong knew that he was thinking right, he didn't look at Zhuo Ran, but continued: "Xiaqiu, it's understandable that you killed Master Liao Ze, but you also plotted Yong Niang into your game, involving innocent people, Master never wanted you to do that."

Zhuo Ran slowly raised her head, then looked down at the full chessboard, black and white, in a mess.

"Master knows that Liao Ze has something to do with your father's death. Besides, he tried to put you to death several times. It's useless to keep you, so you are right to kill him." Han Congzhong said: "It's just a later thing. I don’t want to say it, but Master knows in his heart that you want to fulfill Master’s long-cherished wish and try to find out the secret behind the battle in the Luxi mountain stream, but what will you do after you find out?”

He was silent for a long time, his voice gradually trembling, and said: "Xiaqiu, you have the will to die. Master sees that you have been splitting up everyone, even at the expense of seeking skins from tigers, and your ultimate goal is not only to turn the world upside down, but also to settle it yourself. .Do you feel that no one cares about you, and no one cares about your feelings..."

Zhuo Ran looked at Han Congzhong.

"...Xiaqiu, in the past four years, Master and Uncle Zhou have tried their best to make you strong and learn to be independent, in order to let you live well, but how did you push yourself to the edge of this cliff? What do you think? Think about it, if something happens to you, what will you and Uncle Zhou do? We have lived together for the past four years, even if you want to do your own thing, you should discuss it with us, and you must not take risks yourself! This time Seeing you in danger for the first time, do you know how worried Master and Uncle Zhou are about you?"

He slowly walked up to Zhuo Ran, knelt down to look at Zhuo Ran, raised his hand to wipe away the tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, and said softly: "Master, I'm sorry. It turns out that when Master was the Taifu, he was always eager for success. His Royal Highness suffered a lot, and later His Royal Highness was seriously ill, and he still asked me to teach him knowledge. Master’s heart is like being frozen. Now it’s you, Master did the same thing wrong, Master knows? Any responsibility should be imposed on you, but Master does not want you to forget who you are because of hatred. You must understand why you live. If it is only for revenge and to fulfill Master's wish, then Master can do whatever you want. Find someone else, you won't let you torture yourself like this. Xiaqiu, Master's heart was thrown in the tomb of Emperor Nanhuan, and it was finally found because of you. Master doesn't want you to lose yourself in the past. A person should look forward and learn to let go of the past."

Zhuo Ran frowned, she couldn't see Han Congzhong's face clearly, but felt that Master was touching the top of her hair very kindly, giving her the warmth that she hadn't seen for a long time these days.

She was indeed not alone, and was indeed held firmly in the palms of Han Congzhong and Zhou Yu, but she was always lacking protection, and lost her way in that higher and higher position.But in the past, how could it be so easy to let go.Zhuo Ran raised his head slightly.

Han Congzhong said softly: "A kind heart is fundamental to human beings. Xiaqiu, you must be ruthless and resolute in moderation. Master only hopes that you can live comfortably, so that revenge will be useful, live, and hopeful."

Zhuo Ran was like waking up from a dream, melted the long-frozen ice in that word, and slowly saw everything.

"Xiaqiu...remember."

Chu Shiyu summoned He Xiyao and Wu Xiuting into the palace.Wu Xiuting injured his leg and couldn't move, so he moved to the pilgrimage hall step by step with the help of others.

Yuan Lu put the teacup away for Chu Shiyu, and his eyes receded when he looked at Chu Shiyu.He Xiyao stood beside Wu Xiuting and bowed together.

"There is no other reason for calling you here this time. I just hope that you will do your best to prevent this kind of situation from happening again." Chu Shiyu tried the temperature of the teacup and took it in his hand when it was not hot. Looking at Wu Xiuting, he said: "Wu Shilang, I have something to ask you. Why did you appear in Lianhua Lane that day? The internal patrols in Gaodu have always been controlled by the Imperial Army. How could you be involved?"

Wu Xiuting couldn't kneel down, so he had to say this: "Your Majesty, the interior of Gaodu is indeed not under the control of the minister. It happened that the minister passed by Lianhua Lane that night, and saw all the students gathered there, and people from the Ministry of Industry were also there. The construction started in the rain, but the minister was about to stop it, and the Lianhua Lane collapsed from the inside, and directly connected to the outside."

"When did you arrive in Lianhua Lane?" Chu Shiyu said.

"Return to Your Majesty, it was the end of Haishi that night." Wu Xiuting said, "It happened to be the time when the imperial guards changed their guards, so no one noticed the situation in Lianhua Lane."

Chu Shiyu rubbed the aching forehead, he relieved the pain, then slowly raised his head, and said: "I suspect that there is an organization in Gaodu that specifically wants to disturb Gaodu. People can’t get away with it. It’s just that there are too few clues, and I can’t verify whether it’s true. This time the imperial army has worked hard, and the governor has also taken the lead. He brought up this matter. You secretly assist the governor to find out.

He Xiyao thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, how should Wu Shilang and I help the governor? Since the governor discovered this organization, he will definitely not reveal anything easily, which will make those people even more suspicious."

"That's why I want you to help each other in secret." Chu Shiyu paused every word, and said, "I know that this matter is extremely difficult, but we have almost contacted everyone now and have not found anything. These people will not be eliminated for a day, Gao There will never be a peaceful day. This time you have also made meritorious service, and Wu Shilang can command the army, so it is most appropriate for you to help."

He Xiyao nodded, and said: "I will do my best to help the governor secretly find out who is behind the scenes."

Wu Xiuting also bowed his head and said the same.

Chu Shiyu took a sip of his tea and said softly, "Don't make any publicity beforehand, and tell others when you have obvious clues. Let's catch this group of people together and return Gaodu to peace."

"Yes."
