Tyrant, he wants to spoil me

Chapter 848 If he uses affection, it must be affectionate

Jiangnan New Year's Eve has just passed.

Xiao Tingchen, in a green jacket and black clothes, stood tall and tall, with his hands behind his back on the prow of the boat, and went down the river, sweeping across both sides of the river with a smile.

There is still white snow on the shore, and red lanterns and Spring Festival couplets under the eaves add to the festivities. Children wear new clothes and play on the arch bridge, and vendors hawking candied haws and flower cakes work hard.

He occupied the city of Lin'an, but placed his troops outside the city, not allowing them to disturb the people.

Because of this, he left an excellent reputation in Lin'an City.

The black-covered boat stopped at the side of the long street, and he walked ashore, passed through the bustling crowd, and stepped into the magistrate's yamen.

Luo Lishang stepped forward with a roasted sweet potato in her mouth, and lazily handed him a letter, "It's from Jinling, Wu Song checked it, and it's not poisonous."

"It must have been sent by a close friend of mine in Jinling City..." Xiao Tingchen took it casually, "I was in Jinling back then, after all, I was considered a son of a famous family, a romantic man, and I don't know how many beauties secretly admired me in Tianxiang."

Luo Lishang rolled her eyes.

She sat down grandly, raised her legs and said, "Xiaojiu is still waiting for you to save her in Nanjiang. If she knows what you are talking about in this bustling and rich place, she will definitely hate you."

Xiao Tingchen smiled.

After reading the letter at a glance, he said, "It was sent by Xiao Hanqing."

"Xiao Hanqing?" Luo Lishang raised his eyebrows, "The former princess who betrayed you? Didn't she marry your elder brother? Tsk, you wouldn't have an affair with her, would you?"

Xiao Tingchen burned the letter, and his peach blossom eyes dimmed a bit, "She asked me, if she returned with Jinling and Song Prefecture, would I be willing to forgive her, would I be willing to make her and Xiao Tingxiu reconcile the old relationship."

"How do you plan to reply?" Luo Lishang wiped her fingers with a handkerchief after eating the roasted sweet potatoes.

Xiao Tingchen twisted Mo Yu's fingers and remained silent.

Luo Lishang took a sip of tea with great interest.

Xiao Tingchen seemed cynical and cold-hearted, but she knew that if he used affection, it must be affectionate.

Whether it's a brother or a woman, as long as he has cared about him, even if he is betrayed, he is willing to give those people another chance.

For example, Xie Rongjing and the others.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Tingchen said solemnly: "In the past month or so, we have fought more than a dozen battles, large and small, and lost more than [-] troops. Songzhou Prefecture and Jinling City are very important to Jiangnan. If we can not fight Surrendering will help us recuperate and conquer Chang'an."

Daqi's heavy troops are all gathered in the north. Although the Jiangnan area is prosperous and prosperous, there are not many troops stationed there.

So the farther north one goes, the harder the war will be.

Luo Lishang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "So, you plan to agree to Xiao Hanqing's conditions? But do you know where your elder brother is now? It's time to sacrifice your appearance, you have to find him first. I really can't find him." Come on, how about you do it yourself?"

Xiao Tingchen didn't bother to give her straight eyes.

He went to the back hall, "If Xiao Tingxiu is not in Chang'an, then he will only go to one place. I want to go to Jinling personally, and you ask Su Runmo to strictly guard Lin'an and be careful in everything."

Xiao Tingchen only took Wu Song with him, and the master and servant rode to Jinling.

Standing on the tower to see them off, Luo Lishang couldn't help sneering, "Our emperor is really a bold man of skill, to rush to Jinling just like that... isn't he afraid that the letter is a trap set by Xiao Hanqing?"

Xiao Weihua stood beside her wearing thin armor.

Looking at Xiao Tingchen's back full of admiration, he said seriously: "The emperor is the most wise and powerful man in the world. It seems reckless to go to Jinling, but he must be hiding something behind."

Luo Lishang: ...

She looked at Xiao Weihua complicatedly.

She found that no matter what incredible things Xiao Tingchen did, he could get a perfect interpretation from this boy's mouth.

She really wanted to tell him that their emperor has no backup!

Their emperor is really just reckless!
……

Xiao Tingchen and Wu Song rode fast horses and swept across mountains and rivers.

Four days later, they arrived in Jinling.

Xiao Tingchen raised his head, the ancient city wall was just as he remembered it.

The city is more prosperous than ever. There are row upon row of vendors selling vegetable and fruit cakes along the street. The green brick streets are spacious and clean, and there are many restaurants and singing halls on both sides.

Wu Song grabbed the rein and followed behind him unhurriedly, "Where is the emperor going? Don't we need to disguise ourselves with beards or something?"

Xiao Tingchen rode across the long street, the corners of his lips were always curled up, "Of course I'm going home."

"Go home?" Wu Song was stunned.

Xiao Tingchen rode his horse and headed towards Bird Clothes Lane.

The cold wind rolled up his hunting robe, the man's narrow sleeves were tied around his waist, and the black brocade robe set off his seductive handsomeness, attracting the amazed attention of many big girls on the street.

A quarter of an hour later, he reined in outside Bird Clothes Lane.

It was still the first lunar month, and the gray tiles and white walls of Wuyi Lane, with a little snow on the top of the walls, made the lanterns extraordinarily festive and bright red.

The clumps of lilacs in the corner are dark green in winter, and they seem to be trying to accumulate nutrients so that they can present the most beautiful flowers in spring.

Xiao Tingchen's eyes were gentle.

He remembered that when Xiaojiu was young, he liked the lilacs here the most. Because he couldn't afford pearl flowers, he would often pick one off and pin it on his temples.

There are simple and naive lettering left on the wall, like the writing practice left by naughty children.

He remembered that when Xiaojiu first learned to write, his handwriting was so immature and clumsy.

The hundreds-year-old sweet-scented osmanthus tree at the end of the alley was rescued by small wine, and the crown of the tree is still huge and majestic, even in winter, it is still full of vitality.

He stepped on a block of green bricks, and appeared in front of Xiao's residence.

The old mansion, which was supposed to be uninhabited, was clean and dust-free.

The rich door was closed tightly, and the two bright red lanterns under the eaves were brand new, obviously they had just been hung up.

The sound of reading aloud came from behind the door.

Xiao Tingchen lifted his robe and climbed up the nine bluestone steps.

Pushing open the door casually, there are more than a dozen young children sitting in the courtyard, all holding books in their hands, shaking their heads and reciting "In the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good".

Xiao Tingxiu was wearing a Confucian shirt and was sitting behind the big case.

Unsmiling, as before.

He noticed Xiao Tingchen from the corner of his eye, and he frowned slightly, with disbelief in his narrow eyes.

He got up, hurriedly waved his hands and said, "That's the end of today's class, you guys go home first."

As he spoke, he walked up to Xiao Tingchen under the curious eyes of the children.

"Back?" His voice was hoarse.

Xiao Tingchen nodded, and dusted off the shoulders of this unrelated elder brother, "After you resigned, you have been living in the old house to teach?"

"Yes." Xiao Tingxiu pulled the corner of his mouth, "I always think that you will come back one day. It is also good to cultivate more talents. Those children are poor and cannot go to Jinling Academy and government schools, so I will enlighten them here .”

"Very good..." Xiao Tingchen's eyes became more playful, "I heard that Xiao Hanqing also lived in Jinling City in recent years, how are you and her doing?"
