Rebirth of Noble Menjiao

Mingyi had no idea that her fateful enemy was only a few feet away from her, and she slept soundly.

Xue Lin opened his eyes and saw her peaceful sleeping face, her slightly flushed cheeks, thick eyelashes like butterfly wings, snow-skinned red lips, willow eyebrows and long nose, all of which were right on the tip of his heart. .

There was a smooth touch under his fingers. Xue Lin lowered his eyes and realized that his hand had grasped her wrist at some point and never let go. The wrist in his palm was as white as white jade, and the touch was like fine Hetian jade, so warm and smooth that he couldn't bear to let it go.

In her sleep, she would not be afraid, disgusted, or wave away his hand with a pale face.

very nice! It would be even better if she could do this when she was awake!

People are really the most greedy! It was not long ago that he felt that as long as he could see her all the time and touch her occasionally, even for this moment, while she was in a dream, he was satisfied, but now he wanted more.

It was still far away, but the sound of chirping coming towards this place lingered in his ears. Xue Lin frowned and gently rubbed the skin between her wrists with his fingertips. Then he reluctantly let go and looked at her. With his sleeping face, he quietly sat up, and the movement pulled the injury on his shoulder. He hesitated for a moment, then straightened up as if nothing had happened, crossed Mingyi and got down on the bed. Mingyi, who didn't see her back turned to him, quietly opened her eyes after he sat down. After being stunned for a moment, she lowered her eyes and looked at the bright wrist he just held, with a very strange look on her face.

As soon as Xue Lin stepped outside the door, he saw Xu You leading two staff members from the corridor. Before they could speak, he had already raised his hand, glanced into the room, and asked in a low voice. He said, "What's the matter?"

Xu You glanced at the half-open door of the main room, and her eyes lit up. Before she could raise her gossiping smile, Xue Lin froze her lips with a cold, whooshing eye.

The other two staff met Xue Lin's cold eyes and did not dare to look around at all. They hurriedly lowered their heads and said, "We have checked around the city and found nothing unusual."

"I know." Xue Lin nodded, not much surprised.

"It stands to reason that whether it is a spy or an assassin, you will meet him many times a year, but this time it is a little different. These Di people have also learned to use roundabout strategies and are full of tricks." Since the gossip failed, Xu You gently shook the folding fan and got down to business. Those Beidi people hated Xue Lin to the core. In which year would they not send some assassins to take his life? But this time it is really different, from the news that Jinchang Guo is not dead and appears in Beidi, to Xue Lin receiving the news and rushing back to Beiguan, and even ambushing Tianxing Gorge, using the "Madam" who was traveling with Xue Lin as bait , luring Xue Lin into a trap, this step-by-step plan is a series of tricks, which is very unlike the Beidi people they know.

Why didn't Xue Lin have any doubts in his heart? What he was thinking about at this time was not only what Xu You knew, but also what Xue Tai had said before. The assassins seemed to be divided into two groups, but they only targeted his "wife". One group wanted to kill and the other wanted to save. Although he scolded Xue Tai not to be suspicious, he still had hidden worries in his heart.

"If it's not that the Beidi people suddenly became smart, there is someone else who is giving guidance behind the scenes. But where does this expert come from? Is it Jinchang Guo?" Xu You tapped his palm with a folding fan.

"Jinchang Guo, let's wait for the news from Yuan Tuo. It should be soon." Xue Lin said quietly, then thought of something, and asked in a low voice, "Is there any news from the south of Hunan?"

Xu You didn't know why he suddenly asked about Xiangnan, but after pondering for a moment, he still shook his head, "There is no movement at all. The King of Xiangnan is just drunk and dreaming every day. I see more wives and concubines in his courtyard than His Majesty." Those days, I envy them."

Xue Lin's face was completely unmoved, "Go on, keep an eye on me, and report any news in a timely manner."

"Yes!" Xu You was eyeing this line, and he responded immediately when he heard the sound.

Xue Lin turned to the two staff again, "Where is the border patrol?"

"We should have entered the border of Qinzhou. I estimate that we can reach Beiguan in another three to five days. The post house has been cleaned out and is ready to move in at any time. However, our Beiguan government office is already short of money. This patrol will The envoy is here, how should we entertain him?" Wang Xian, one of the staff members, couldn't help but feel a hint of resentment in his tone.

"According to the regulations, you can entertain them as you should. There is no need to make a fool of yourself, but there is no need to go out of your way to be poor. Since the border patrol officer is patrolling the border with His Majesty's decree, let him see the truest reality of Anxi. "Looks like." Xue Lin still looked calm, "Let people keep an eye on it. If the border patrol comes to report in time when he arrives at Beiguan, I will personally greet you at the city gate." "But Commander, your injury..." Another staff member, Gao Qi, frowned, his eyes filled with worry.

"Although I'm injured, I can't neglect the envoys from the imperial court. What's more... I'm injured, but I'm just about to show it to the patrol. The Governor of Anxi is not that easy to be." Xue Lin looked back. He raised his ears and turned his head, and sure enough he saw Mingyi standing by the partition with a frown on her face.

Xue Lin touched the corner of his lips towards her, turned around and waved lightly. Wang, Gao and Xu You cupped their hands and turned away. Xu You winked at Mingyi before leaving, but waited for Xue Lin to cast a cold glance. When he came over, he had already sharpened his face, turned around and walked away.

After they left, Xue Lin turned and walked towards Mingyi, "I didn't sleep all night last night. I just saw you sleeping deeply. I wanted you to sleep a little longer."

Mingyi frowned and asked, "Border patrol envoy? When did the imperial court send a border patrol envoy?" Moreover, people were almost arriving at Beiguan, which showed that the news was not just for the past two days.

"It was when you were busy preparing the caravan." Xue Lin said thoughtfully, "At that time, you were too busy to touch the ground, and it was not a big deal, so I didn't tell you." Look up and see Ming Ming. Yi frowned, her eyes filled with worry. He sighed, reached out, held her arm through the sleeves, pulled her into the room, and said, "Don't think too much, we have it here first." After the chaos in Hezhou and Shouzhou, the commotion in Jizhou became quite big, and some people in the court couldn't sit still. This border patrol came just to reassure some people in the court, and my wife should also feel relieved. , in these fourteen prefectures of Anxi, all border patrols can come, and everything they see can be told to others."

"But..." Mingyi frowned. Before preparing for the caravan, she had received a letter from Wang Jing and a letter from Li Fengjiao, but neither of them mentioned this matter in her credibility. Could it be that it happened after the letter was received? Then the border patrol arrived too quickly. Could it be that he was heading straight to Beiguan?

As if he knew what she was guessing, Xue Lin said softly, "In the Fourteenth Prefecture of Anxi, this border patrol did not go anywhere else, but came straight to Beiguan. Perhaps he had to meet me first before going anywhere else." Prefecture. Of course, it is not impossible that his entourage went to other prefectures for secret visits. By the way, speaking of which, this border patrol envoy, his wife, and I are also old acquaintances."

Mingyi's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, "Who is it?"

"The eldest son of the Chu family, Chu Yanze!"

"How is that possible?" Mingyi exclaimed, "Didn't he just lose his mother? He should still be in Dingyou right now!"

"I heard that His Majesty stole my love."

"Just to let him patrol the border on behalf of His Majesty?" The worry on Mingyi's face became even more serious.

"Yes, this Young Master Chu is now deeply attached to the Holy Spirit!" Xue Lin's words made Mingyi's heart feel cold.

Chu family... She had clearly reminded the emperor's uncle before leaving Beijing, why did he still use Chu Yanze so much? Border Patrol Agent... In her memory, such a thing had never happened in her previous life. So... what went wrong?

In Ji Xia's day, Mingyi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Madam, there is really no need to worry too much. When soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when water comes, the soil will cover them. Didn't you say that? You believe in me and yourself. We are in the same place, so why be afraid?" Xue Lin tightened her hand and said in a deep voice.

Mingyi calmed down and nodded, but at this moment Weiyu came quickly with a letter, "Madam, a letter from Wangjing!"
