Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 122

"Yes, my lord, Concubine Duan told me that I have something to discuss with my lord today, and I want my lord to go out later."

Nie Wuhuan frowned slightly, and said impatiently, "Let's wait until I come back from the army."

"Yes, my lord!" The butler silently cupped his hands and left quietly.

Looking at the mess on the ground, Nie Wuhuan couldn't help but let out a long sigh. After dispelling the weight on his body, he took off his clothes, grabbed another coat, and hurried to the study.

Zhou Dehai was a classmate of Nie Wuhuan when he was not a prince. He said he was a classmate because the late emperor once held a private school competition when he was still alive, and put all the trial children in the private school yard, whether they were ordinary people or princes and generals. The son of the family, even the prince is no exception, after three years of closed education, and then select the capable ones, the winners will stay in the court for reuse, saving the cumbersome provincial examinations and imperial examinations.

However, this has only been going on for a year, and because of the civil strife, it fell through. In addition to being friends with Nie Wuhuan that year, apart from Zhou Dehai, who is now an official in the court, there is also Tang Chong, who has been executed by all his families because of his involvement in the civil strife. .

Zhou Dehai was two years older than Nie Wuhuan, and he was the best in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting that year, but because he was born weak and sick, he couldn't learn Kung Fu, and he gave birth to a boy and a girl, so he was often bullied.

As the prince, Nie Wuhuan did not hesitate to stand up for him several times, and the friendship between the two of them was formed at that time.

After so many years, Zhou Dehai has been unknown, and above the imperial court, he is only a civil official who first recorded the historical records for the fifth rank.

Recently, because Nie Wuhuan has been wanting to control the military power and wantonly dispatched troops outside, so he has been a little alienated from him, but Nie Wuhuan has been secretly helping him, lest the only good brother around him also be squeezed by the DPRK and China. a good death.

But every time he thinks about it, Nie Wuhuan will be helpless because of the heavy pressure and his limited ability. Except for life, Nie Wuhuan really can't help him at all.

"My lord!" Zhou Dehai became thinner and thinner, his shoulders protruding from his spine supported his large robe, which had faded from washing many times, and the dim color showed his paleness even more. and emaciated.

"Sit!" Nie Wuhuan walked in, waved his hand lightly, and sat beside him like a normal brother. There was a coffee table with a tea set between them. Steaming.

Nie Wuhuan first filled the teacup in front of Zhou Dehai, then filled his own, and said to him, "It's been getting lighter recently, is there any problem?"

Zhou Dehai lowered his eyes slightly, and said with a embarrassed smile, "My lord, you also know that I have been like this since I was a child, but it is because of the weather changes, I have been sick for a long time, and there is no difficulty."

"I have sent someone to send your medicine, and some are from the Western Regions and the Northern Dynasty. Before using it, you can ask the doctor to reconcile it for you before drinking. I am worried that the medicine over there is too strong, and you will not be able to bear it. Especially after using the medicine for so many years, it has not improved, and I have become dependent on the medicine, and I am afraid that you will not be able to adapt if you suddenly change the nature of the medicine."

"My lord is too worried. I am afraid that I am invulnerable to all poisons, let alone medicine, hehe..."

"Hehehe..."

The two chatted with each other, Zhou Dehai still liked to make lukewarm jokes like before, after talking for a while, Nie Wuhuan finally mentioned the serious business of Zhou Dehai's visit.

"How is the investigation?"

"Some eyebrows." Zhou Dehai didn't repeat, took out a letter from his cuff, and put it on the table.

Nie Wuhuan didn't rush to take it apart, but stared at the beautiful characters on it in a daze.

Zhou Dehai's handwriting was unmatched by anyone, how glorious it was at that time, he was reused and praised by the former emperor, and even a few princes could not match it.Thinking about the past now has become a kind of burden settled in the bottom of my heart, because it is also because of this that Zhou Dehai will be hated and beaten by others, otherwise Zhou Dehai would only be willing to be a small fifth-rank now? !
At that time, he had already seen the dangers of the world clearly!

They are all children around ten years old, so vicious, what will they be like when they become adults? !

The eldest prince was killed, the third prince was expelled, and the fifth prince was placed under house arrest.The second prince, who has become the emperor, is now extremely promiscuous and ignores the government, while the youngest, he wants to gain a foothold in the imperial city, and the journey is even more difficult, and he can't even protect the people around him well.

"Hey……"

His mind was pulled away, Nie Wuhuan sighed helplessly, then took the letter over and gently opened it, which contained the ins and outs of the matter in detail.

Zhou Dehai doesn't like to talk, so he likes to record things on paper rolls a few times when he does business, which also saves the trouble of being overheard by others.

After reading it, Nie Wuhuan burned the letter, and the burnt ashes fell to the ground, and everything disappeared, except the fact that it happened still remained in his mind.

Nie Wuhuan frowned when he thought of the Murong family and what he did back then.

It was as if someone had grabbed a corner of the heart, holding it tightly and refusing to let it go, holding it to see through it, but who could understand the pain hidden in the bottom of my heart? !
"My lord, that person is already in my residence, if you want to..."

Nie Wuhuan shook his head at him, indicating that it is not appropriate to talk too much here, then he filled his teacup with the teapot again, turned his posture, and looked at the fleeting footsteps outside, the corners of Nie Wuhuan's mouth slightly raised.

Chatted with Zhou Dehai for a few more words before sending him away.

Then, Nie Wuhuan secretly asked the dark guard to follow him back to the Zhou Mansion to interrogate the man, while he sat outside the study door looking at the footprints just left on the ground, thinking deeply.

Everyone will pay attention to the people around them, no matter whether that person is their parents or the person next to them, so Duan Qingyu has already doomed her sorrow since the moment she entered the mansion, her intentions were impure, her She has ulterior motives, and, does she really have ulterior motives?

Yes, but a black heart.

Nie Wuhuan sneered and called the maid who was walking over there.

"My lord!"

"Tell Duan Qingyu that if you want to know what this king is doing, you can ask directly. It's better than eavesdropping behind your back but not being able to hear it, and being grabbed by the tail. It's really ugly."

That maid was a little girl doing odd jobs in the yard, although she couldn't understand the meaning of the words, she also knew that these words should not be passed on to Duan Qingyu, so she stood there hesitating.

Nie Wuhuan didn't bother, he just wanted to find someone to speak out to, because he didn't care if the words could get through.

After all, in this yard, there are either Duan Qingyu's people or Dou Qingqing's people, and the eyeliners planted by other ministers, and the people she left behind in the harem, but none of them belong to Nie Wuhuan .

Nie Wuhuan looked at the huge courtyard, people coming and going, maids and maids, their faces were familiar yet unfamiliar, he couldn't help feeling sad, couldn't sit still any longer, directly pulled the horsewhip, and went to the military camp .

He was hurriedly called away by the lieutenant yesterday because the man in black who was holding him suddenly opened his mouth and said what he wanted.

The barbarian tribes were scattered in the early days, and then unified by a Central Plains man with only half barbarian blood. But after a short period of rule, they were scattered by various tribes. After that, there were frequent disputes and civil wars between tribes.In order to avoid wars, they spontaneously select the leader, and they have to change it every ten years, but the succession of the leader can only be done through the jade finger, but because the jade finger was lost after the war, so far the person sitting in the position of the leader is just a pair of Empty airs and no real power.

In order to find the jade wrench, the barbarians did not hesitate to fight, facing each other with swords, and at the same time looking for the whereabouts of the jade wrench.

After nearly ten years of searching in the barbarian tribe, the new leader was about to be replaced, so they ran to the Central Plains in a hurry.Then... Nie Wuhuan remembered what the man in black said, "The jade finger was stolen by the woman who was the leader back then, and it is now in the Central Plains, in your Yuezhao country. It has something to do with it, our lord has inquired many times, but we are still not sure, we have to take the girl away first, and then check it later.”

Nie Wuhuan sneered, these barbarians are still as brainless as before, Su Jiu is similar to the woman in the portrait, but the age difference is more than [-] years, then Su Jiu is not, maybe her family is, that Su Jiu's mother, whom he had never met, became the person Nie Wuhuan had always suspected.

But this matter needs to be verified, and Nie Wuhuan didn't dare to act rashly, so he had to ask people to surround the Su family in secret, waiting for the barbarian's next move.

Thinking of the Su family, the appearance of Su Jiu jumped in front of his eyes again, and after arriving at the army camp, Nie Wuhuan tossed and turned all night, laying a piece of pancake on the bed tossing and turning, even if he fell into a sleepless sleep For a moment, Su Jiu's swollen face was still flashing in his mind.

"Hey!" Nie Wuhuan finally stopped lying down and suffering, and sat up straight, muttering in his heart, "Do I miss her or do I miss her, hey... I must be missing her, thinking about that keeps making me angry Damn girl."

Well, miss her.

Nie Wuhuan made the final decision.

I can't think about it, but I can't see it again.

Why can't I see you?Don't ask me to see you, don't ask me to pester you, I just want to.I am a dignified prince, but you, Su Jiu, can't handle it?joke!
Nie Wuhuan pulled off his clothes, got on the horse, and went to the inn where Su Jiu was staying before dawn.

To say that some people are very annoying is to dream of them.

Su Jiu fell asleep and dreamed, then woke up, woke up and fell asleep again and dreamed again.

It's nothing more than a dream, but in the dream he had to quarrel with that ignorant and machismo bullshit prince, Su Jiu's acquaintance was crushed by a stone, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

Since she couldn't fall asleep, she didn't go to sleep, and sat in front of the window with Murong Zhi who was also unable to sleep tonight, staring at the dry and white moon outside in a daze.

"Murong Zhi, why did you come here? Hey, it's okay if you don't want to say it. I'm just bored and just ask."

"It's okay, I can tell you that I came here to recognize my relatives, but the servant who accompanied me has disappeared. I have been waiting for his news. I don't know how the family arranges it, and I can't show up alone. The servant Said it would be dangerous, so I have been waiting for him here."

"Is it dangerous to admit relatives?" Su Jiu didn't understand.
