"Why did you two suddenly come here?" Xiang Mai started chatting in order to divert her attention.

"And you, didn't you leave long ago?" She looked down at Mei Xingzhi again.

"I was going to leave, but I had other things to delay it." Mei Xingzhi said without affecting the movements of his hands, "I was going out of the city today, and I happened to meet you."

"What about you?" Fourteen asked the elder Sun Jingxu.

"Coincidentally, I was going out of the city too, so I just happened to meet." Changsun Jingxu said.

What a coincidence.

"Thank you."

"You don't need to say thank you." Eldest Sun Jingxu was not used to talking while eating, so he held the naan bread Xiao Yan gave him, and only focused on talking to Fourteen.The firelight reflected on his face, and the light and shadow kept flickering, making his eyes sometimes bright and sometimes dark.

"You are willing to risk yourself to save us after only meeting a few times, Sun Shiliu, I respect you for being a man, and it is worth paying for... Ah!"

Xiang Mai pulled his arm back, but Mei Xingzhi had been on guard for a long time, and the arm in his hand did not move at all: "Don't move, I will clean your wound."

"Can you be gentle!" Xiang Mai was unprepared just now, the pain suddenly hit, her tears almost overflowed, how could she speak in a good tone, "I am a living person, not a corpse."

"The cloth is stuck to the wound. If we don't tear it apart, why should we let it grow inside?" Mei Xingzhi didn't raise his head, picked up the gauze next to him, moistened it with water, and wiped the wound carefully.

"And the long-term pain is worse than the short-term pain. Let you choose whether you want to expose it bit by bit or all at once?"

"..." Xiang Mai pouted, realizing that she had wrongly blamed him, "I choose short pain."

Mei Xingzhi didn't take it for granted, and continued to wipe the wound.It's just that subconsciously, the action is lighter.

The eldest grandson Jingxu ate naan bread quietly.

Fourteen pulled Xiao Yan to check carefully whether he was injured.

Mei Xingzhi moved quickly, applied medicine to Xiang Mai, and bandaged the wound.

"Thank you so much."

Mei Xingzhi stood up from her side, took the pancakes Xiao Yan handed over, and passed one of them to Xiang Mai.

Xiang Mai caught it with her uninjured hand and thanked her again.

"How did you offend the guards of the surrendered city?" Mei Xingzhi sat down again and asked Shishi.

"It wasn't us who provoked them, it was the pig who provoked us first!" Hearing this, Xiang Mai immediately said angrily, "It was she who molested Shishi first, and after being taught a lesson by her and Ah Yan, she ran home to mobilize the officers and soldiers Come vent your anger."

"The surrendered city is located at the junction of Dali and Tule. It is not only remote, but also has mixed forces." Changsun Jingxu swallowed the pancakes in his mouth and participated in the discussion. "The law is useless here, and the imperial court It’s too far away to control it.”

"To put it bluntly, as far as Shoujiang City and surrounding counties and towns are concerned, the chief official is the Tu Emperor. I have been here for a while, and I have also seen the oppression and resentment of the local people by several big families headed by the prefect Qin Huaian. It's happening everywhere, but no one dares to speak."

"Can't the court change a good official to take over the surrendered city?" Xiang Mai asked.

Mei Xingzhi sneered in a low voice, laughing at her innocence.

"It's said that the imperial court can't reach it." Seeing Mai Xiang, he explained, "If you can control it, is it still too late?"

"But he is a small governor, and the court can't suppress him?" Xiang Mai said, "Just send troops to arrest him."

"Master, soldiers can't be dispatched just by sending them." At this time Xiao Yan continued, "Since he can be so rampant, there must be a reason behind it. Either he is involved with the northern garrison, or he holds the Enough military power to make him arrogant."

"Secondly, he just oppressed the people, but he didn't rebel. The imperial court will not send troops to suppress such a person. Besides, this place is so far away from the gods, who will report on him?"

"Besides, the situation in the surrendered city is complicated. If troops and horses are really mobilized, it may cause even greater turmoil. At that time, the labor of the people and the loss of money will not be worth the loss. What the court wants is stability, which is the most important thing."

"...Who taught you these?" After being taught a lesson by his apprentice and benefiting a lot, Xiang Mai felt a little complicated.

Changsun Jingxu and Mei Xingzhi were also surprised that Xiao Yan had such insight at such a young age.Every word he said just now has something to say, and it is definitely not the insight that a ten-year-old boy who grew up in the folk should have.

Changsun Jing silently shifted her gaze to Fourteen, and attributed Xiao Yan's insight to her.Xindao: Henan Dao Xiao Shishi Niang, her reputation is well-deserved.

Mei Xingzhi was a little more thoughtful than he thought, so he was not sure whether it was Xiao Yan from the Fourteenth Sect, or that person?

Xiang Maiyi directly believed that it was Xiao Yan taught by Zuoqiu Yue, and he would deliberately hide everything taught by Zuo Qiuyue. Only Zuo Qiuyue taught him would deliberately "show off".

"Xiao Langjun is so broad-minded and insightful at such a young age, Mrs. Xiao teaches well." Changsun Jingxu praised.

"It's just a child's nonsense, don't take it too seriously." Fourteen deliberately changed the subject, "Let's discuss how to keep watch at night."

Xiao Yan also realized that he had talked too much, so he began to eat naan bread silently, and stopped talking.

After discussion, the children and the injured don't need to keep vigil. The fourteenth, eldest grandson Jingxu and Mei Xingzhi take turns to watch each other for an hour and a half until dawn.

Despite this arrangement, it is impossible for Fourteen to really fall asleep tonight.

……

"A Yan, Ah Yan wake up."

"Mother?"

Xiao Yan lay on his fourteen legs, feeling like he had just fallen asleep when he was yelled up.

"Don't make a sound." Fourteen quickly buried the fire with earth, took Xiao Yan with one hand and Xiang Mai with the other, and walked quietly to the side of the horse.

Xiang Mai was dizzy, and when the movement on the other side became very loud, she heard the sound of trampling horseshoes, and saw a long dragon of torches approaching them.

Chase!

No one thought that the pursuers of the surrendered city would be so relentless in their pursuit.

When the pursuers passed by right in front of them, everyone subconsciously held their breath.

……

"Huh!" Seeing that the fire was so far away that it was almost invisible, Xiang Mai dared to breathe out boldly. At the same time, he leaned back and sat on the ground.

"Did you beat that pig's head to death?" She asked Fourteen.Otherwise, it shouldn't be such a big fight, it's too exaggerated.

"Probably." Fourteen turned around to pack up his things, "It's not suitable to stay here for a long time, let's take a detour to the next county."

……

gods.Prince Yu's Mansion.

Lin Jiu respectfully sent the officials of the Ministry of Industry out of Zuoqiu Yue's courtyard, stood at the gate of the courtyard and took a look at the bustling scene in the mansion, then turned and walked back.

More than a month ago, this place was still an abandoned house, and a small yard was barely cleaned up to live in.Who would have thought that more than a month later, Lang Guan from the household department came to supervise the work in person and watched the craftsmen repair the mansion.

In the same way, their husband lived like a transparent person more than a month ago. After returning here for several months, no relatives and friends came here to walk around.But now, even if the entire mansion is being repaired, many people pass through the construction site and come to visit in person.

Moreover, the identities of these people are princes, county princes, princesses, princesses, county masters, prime ministers... He never thought before that he would be able to meet so many and such big people one day.

Lin Jiu walked back to the courtyard lightly and quickly, and when she entered the room, she heard Zuo Qiuyue's voice: "Xiao Wu, when will your lady come to God City? It's been almost a year."

Then Xiao Wu replied: "Lang Jun, my lady went back last summer, and it's only spring now, less than a year."

"I don't care, it's a year after the new year."

Xiao Wu didn't answer this time.

Lin Jiu hesitated, wondering if he should go in now.If you go in, you will definitely be dragged by the gentleman like Xiaowu to ask the lady when she will come.

Where does he know?
After a while, Zuoqiu Yue said again: "Prepare me a pen and paper, I'm going to write a letter to tell her about my injury."

Lin Jiu was about to back off, and looked inside through the screen with some guilt. None of the four of them dared to say what they had told the lady.

"Lang Jun." Xiao Wu's voice came out again, "I'm going to tell you something, but you have to promise not to get angry first. Well... Actually, the second day after you were injured, we already wrote to my wife."
