Retreat, Retreat, Retreat! - Chapter 58

In the meeting hall of the East Factory, Shen Xuan was reviewing the list of secret investigations in the East Factory last month. A fan hurried over and knelt outside the door and reported: “Report to the factory superintendent, Beizhen Fusi, please see you!”

,

Yueyao?

Jin Yiwei’s people have always gone to the Three Treasures Hall without incident. Shen Xuan has already guessed her intentions. Without even lifting her eyes, she said: “Let her come in.”

If it is not for urgent business needs to be connected, Yue Yao is extremely unwilling to step into the door of the East Factory.

For example, at this time, she was wearing a dark red silk gauze and a black gauze hat. As soon as she entered the gate of the East Factory, she felt the surrounding atmosphere changed: the one who touched up the makeup closed the rouge box in her hand, and put it down when she was eating. I took the halogen goose paw in my hand, and the practicing arrow put away the pheasant feather arrow in my hand…The group of sitting or leaning Dongchang fans all stood up, staring straight at her, and their eyes followed her steps. While moving, the look in her eyes as if she wanted to gouge a few pieces of meat on her, reminded her of the jackals who hunted together in the wilderness.

Yue Yao ignored their hostility, and just walked up the stone steps leisurely, leaning against the door of the chamber and smilingly said: “If the two armies are fighting, why don’t the two armies be cut off? Greet me like a battle?”

Only then did Shen Xu close the dossier list, and the Fanzi who gathered outside the door gave a wink: “Get down.”

With two simple words, the invisible sense of oppression around Yue Yao disappeared instantly.

Shen Xuan returned his gaze to Yue Yao again, without the slightest expression on her face, and uttered a word: “Say.”

Really cherish words like gold! Yue Yao couldn’t help muttering in her heart: Such a cold evil god, I don’t know how Princess Changning fell in love with him.

“Jin Yiwei Commander Wen Lingyin took office yesterday. The emperor gave him a flying fish suit and embroidered spring knife in the Fengtian Hall. All the important ministers are present, but Admiral Shen is not there.” Yue Yao said, “The emperor did not say anything, but he was determined in his heart. It’s unhappy.”

After hearing this, Shen Xuan just sneered and said, “So, the more you caress, the more you caress for the new boss?”

Yueyao smiled, “If I really make trouble for Wen, I won’t come to you. It’s not because of the face of Princess Changning, to remind you, Master Wen is not like Huo Wei, he is a Qingliu who is not easy to deal with.”

Shen Xuan said keenly, “It seems that Yue Fu has already had a face-to-face encounter with Wen Er.”

When Yue Yao remembered her first encounter under the pear tree that day on her birthday, she thought she had molested a handsome young man, but unexpectedly, the boy who met by the water suddenly turned into her immediate boss… Yue Yao’s eyes were erratic. I don’t have the courage to remember how embarrassing it was when I saw Wen Lingyin in Fengtian Temple.

Seeing Yue Yao’s uncomfortableness, Shen Xuan’s expression was full of meaning, “The emperor wants to use Wen Er to kill the governor’s prestige. Naturally, the governor will not be so stupid that he will be sent to the door to be humiliated. If the emperor is unhappy, he is unhappy, and the governor is happy. .”

“…” After so many years, Yue Yao is still not used to Shen Xuan’s arrogance. If she hadn’t been able to beat him, she would have punched him.

“The new official has three fires. You always have to take someone to do it. Be careful.” After talking about the official business, Yue Yao didn’t bother to be polite with him, and asked bluntly, “Where is your Royal Highness? I haven’t seen her for a long time. I’m thinking hard.”

When someone was thinking about his sweetheart, Admiral Shen became unhappy and said with no expression: “His Royal Highness is not there.”

Before the words fell silent, I heard an exclamation from outside the court: “Sister Yue? Why are you here!”

Yue Yao turned around and glanced at Xiao Changning who stepped in from outside the door, then at Admiral Shen who had a cold face, squinted and smiled: “Aren’t there?”

“What’s not here?” Xiao Changning listened to a general idea, but he was ignorant, and then happily took Yue Yao’s hand again, “Are you here to visit this palace?”

Seeing that Shen Xuan’s complexion became more ugly, Yue Yao felt happier, and said, “Yes, Your Highness.”

“Let’s go, let’s go in the house and have a cup of tea and chat.” Xiao Changning was delighted after seeing Yue Yao for a long time. He didn’t notice the sudden taste of Admiral Shen’s face, and took Yue Yao to the South Pavilion.

Yue Yao walked into the court and looked back and showed a triumphant smile towards Shen Xuan.

Shen Xuan watched the backs of the two disappear into the beauty of Li Li, if he hadn’t thought that Yue Yao was an overly heroic girl, he would have to chop off her fumbled claws.

Xiao Changning entered the South Pavilion, ordered Dongsui to cover the door, opened the window, took out a tea bag and boiled it in the boiling water on the stove, and said to Yue Yao, who was wearing a dark red uniform, “You are sneaking here. So, what did you say to Shen Xuan?”

Yueyao sat behind the case, smiling and pretending to be confused: “Didn’t you say it, did you make a special trip to see your Highness?”

“Don’t fool me.” Xiao Changning also squinted at her, his eyes clear and flexible, “I heard that the new commander took office yesterday?”

When it comes to Wen Lingyin, Yue Yao’s smile is always a bit stiff. He paused for a while before saying: “Yes.”

“What do you mean by’yes?’? When will you speak, you are indecisive?” Xiao Changning opened the iced jade box on the side, took out a small piece of cold milk cake from the inside and placed it in the tea cup, and then scooped it out with a bamboo spoon. A scoop of hot tea melted into the milk cake, and asked casually, “What kind of person is this young talented gentleman Wen?”

The fragrance of milk and tea are intertwined, and the fragrance mist is lingering. Yue Yao’s two eyebrows are twisted into lumps, and he licks his lips and said: “Indifferent, rigid, incomprehensible.”

Xiao Changning keenly caught the key point, stopped and smiled and asked: “Oh, this is strange, how do you know Wen Lingyin is incomprehensible?”

Yue Yao opened her mouth, seeming a little awkward.

She has always been bold. Although she looks exquisite, she is not like a girl. She lifts up her skirts, rolls up sleeves, and drinks and eats meat with a group of elders. It is rare to have such a twitching moment today. .

Xiao Changning found it interesting, only to tell her that Yue Yao had some little secrets in her heart. She was not in a hurry to ask, because she knew that Yue Yao was a straight person who couldn’t hide what was in her heart.

Sure enough, Yue Yao touched her nose, and said uncomfortably: “On that day, Chen returned home on his birthday, because he was drunk, fell from a tree and fell into the arms of a stranger.”

Xiao Changning’s eyes widened in surprise, and then joked: “It’s a romantic story. How old is it to pass by, is it good-looking?”

“Very young and good-looking.” Yue Yao said concisely, “It’s just that the minister was so drunk at that time. Seeing that life is good-looking, he couldn’t help but said something frivolous.”

Thinking of Li Baifeixue that day, she drunkly rolled from under the tree and fell into the cold embrace of that person. The horse’s back is not spacious, and the saddle hurts her back. She woke up with a muffled grunt, opened her eyes, and faced a pair of indifferent eyes.

The eyes are beautiful, showing a bit of indifference and alienation, reflecting the pear blossoms shaking from the sky, like a snow in the eyes. His eyes were young and handsome, his pale lips pressed tightly, and he looked at the drunk-red complexion in his arms, and a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Yue Yao seemed to be stunned by the devil, raising his hand and stroking those too cold and beautiful eyes, feeling his eyelashes trembling slightly, and couldn’t help but smile: “You look so beautiful.”

The black man’s muscles were obviously stiff, and after the stunned eyes, there was a faint anger.

Before he started to throw this drunken Yueyao off his horse, Yueyao twisted like a fish with dexterity, broke away from his arms and settled firmly on the ground, smiled mercilessly at the indistinct handsome Langjun on horseback, and staggered. Away…

Yueyao went home and slept, and soon forgot about it, just as having a beautiful dream. Until yesterday, she met the new commander Jin Yiwei in Fengtian Hall…familiar eyebrows, familiar Junyi, the black man standing alone in the hall, and the emperor called him Wen Lingyin.

Jinyang Hou Shizi, the young Wen Er, Wen Lingyin.

At that moment, Yueyao opened her mouth like a thunderstorm, and she could only expect that the appearance of her girl’s makeup would be very different from the appearance of her official gown, and pray that Wen Lingyin would not recognize herself…

When he came back to his senses, he found that Wen Lingyin was looking at her with a delicate look in his eyes. Rao is as thick-skinned as Yueyao, but also a little flustered and embarrassed. Unable to bear that look, she had no choice but to bite her scalp and salute forward: “Fusionist Yueyao, Fusi, Weibei Town, Jinyi, a humble post, I have seen the commander!”

She heard her voice a little unstable, her ears roared, and she only saw Wen Lingyin’s lips move, but she never heard what he said.

In the South Pavilion, Xiao Changning said with great interest: “Why don’t you go to find out who the son is and if you have a marriage. Speaking of which, you are three years older than me, so you should think about it for yourself.”

Yue Yao held back for a while and said, “No, the minister already knows his identity.”

Xiao Changning’s eyes lit up: “Oh, the action is so fast? Whose son is it, can I tell you a matchmaker?”

Yue Yao coughed dryly: “He is the new commander of Jin Yiwei who took office yesterday, Wen Lingyin.”

“…” Xiao Changning opened his mouth, “So, you molested your new boss?”

Yue Yao nodded awkwardly, and defended: “However, the minister was really drunk at that time!”

Xiao Changning gave her a self-seeking look, then rolled her eyes and said with a smile: “From the perspective of this palace, you are simply wrong?”

“No, no, no!” Yueyao waved her hand again and again, and drank the milk cake and tea soup on the case table as a cover. She almost choked because she drank too quickly, covering her mouth and said, “In his arms, he He doesn’t say a word like a piece of wood, and how to live his life with such incomprehension? The minister still likes a gentler man, besides, he is a month younger than me.”

Xiao Changning snorted and said amusedly: “What’s the matter with a month of childhood? The female junior is holding gold bricks.”

Yue Yao said: “I only hold gold bricks when I’m three years old, what’s a month old? Holding bricks?”

Xiao Changning was so amused by her that she couldn’t help laughing while lying on the desk.

The two chatted one after another, and from time to time a burst of crisp laughter erupted, until a cool air came from behind… Yue Yao turned around and saw that she just saw Shen Xu standing at the door with a solemn face.

“Is Jin Yiwei’s position so leisurely?” Shen Xuan looked down at Yue Yao, her eyes like ice skates.

Yue Yao naturally realized his illicit expulsion, and had to say to Xiao Changning: “It’s not early. The minister will return to Beizhen Fusi first, and next time he will invite his Highness to go out to enjoy the flowers.”

Xiao Changning was a little bit reluctant, but he was afraid of delaying Yueyao’s official duties. After all, the newly appointed commander seemed very difficult to deal with.

After Yue Yao left, Xiao Changning cooked a cup of milky tea soup for Shen Xuan again, and waved at him: “Not happy?”

Shen Xu loosened her brows slightly, and the coldness in her eyes faded. She slowly sat down beside Xiao Changning and said, “I don’t want you to smile at others.”

The voice is low and possessive.

Xiao Changning handed him the tea soup, and forced a smile to coax, “Yue Yao is a woman, why are you jealous?”

Shen Xuan took a sip of the tea in an orderly manner, “I think she doesn’t look like a woman in any way.”

Xiao Changning leaned in his arms: “Okay, Yueyao is pitiful enough. For the sake of telling you about her, please be gentle with her.”

After the beginning of the spring, the affairs of the East Factory became complicated again. Shen Xuan often led Fanzi out for investigation before dawn, or was in jail for interrogation, and returned at night. The two rarely had such a tender time.

Shen Xuan put her arms around her waist, slightly increased her palm strength, and asked: “What do you want for lunch, let Youfu make it for you.”

He knew that Xiao Changning’s stomach was not very good, and drinking a glass of cold wine could hurt her for half a day. After the beginning of spring, the weather was erratic, and Xiao Changning had no appetite. He asked Wu Youfu to change the way to cook and coax her to eat more.

“Just stew a cup of porridge for this palace.” Xiao Changning leaned in Shen Xuan’s arms lazily, and said softly, “Being tired in the spring, it is always hard to get rid of food, and I don’t have much food to eat.”

Shen Xuan said ‘OK’, and then said, “You have to walk more if you have accumulated food. The peach blossoms in front of the court are blooming. Let me take you to see.”

Xiao Changning likes flowers, and she also likes to spend time with Shen Xuan, and happily said, “Okay.”

There are not many peach blossoms in the vestibule, only a dozen, but they bloom luxuriantly, and the blossoming Xia powder trembles in the spring breeze, swaying with an intoxicating fragrance.

Xiao Changning folded a peach blossom and smiled with his eyes down: “If you have a pot of good wine, it would be better to have a drink with you.”

“No.” Shen Xuan refused very simply, her tall and tall figure enveloped her like a mountain, and said slowly, “If you have a bad stomach, drink less alcohol.”

Xiao Changning had to give up angrily.

Then Shen Xuan said: “I have found a new maidservant for you, and I will serve you in two days.”

Xiao Changning looked up and said, “I already have Dongsui in this palace. She is honest and reliable.”

“You are the eldest princess, and a maidservant is not enough for a countertop. Many of the fans in the factory are people with blood on their hands, so they are afraid of hitting you.” Shen Xuan held her fingertips, “Blessed is the new maidservant. My niece, I heard that the cooking is also good, you will like it.”

Xiao Changning could feel Shen Xuan’s care and love, and he couldn’t help but squinted his eyes, and his tail finger lightly hooked Shen Xuan’s palm, “But I’m disrespectful, thank you.”

The two of them took a stroll in the courtyard, walked to the side, and saw Jiang shooting behind the rockery to practice arrows.

He does not practice arrows better than ordinary people, but covers his eyes with a black cloth and listens to the sound to distinguish his position. Lin Huan squeezed a walnut and ate it. After eating one, he threw the walnut shell into the air. Jiang Shot immediately shot the walnut shell with a hundred shots. The opposite soil wall was densely covered with pheasant feather arrows. Arrows, each with a walnut shell nailed into the wall three inches deep.

With another arrow, Xiao Changning couldn’t help but gently stroked his palm, yelling hello. She turned her head and said to Shen Xuan: “The shooting skills of Chief Jiang is inherited from…”

Before she finished speaking, she was stunned.

Shen Xuan’s face was a little gloomy, her eyes filled with cold, mixed with a little surprise. It was obviously a warm spring day, but Xiao Changning seemed to perceive the death of dripping water and ice, and was in a daze, as if he had returned to the time when he first saw Shen Xuan.

“Shen Xuan…” Xiao Changning squeezed his palm lightly, and said worriedly, “What’s wrong with you?”

Her soft voice evoked Shen Xuan’s mind.

He slowly raised his brows, the hostility in his eyes dissipated a lot, but his expression was still a bit ugly, staring straight at the Tuxinliang bow in Jiang Archer’s hand, and muttered: “His bow and arrow…”

Bow and arrow? is there any problem?

Xiao Changning couldn’t see what was wrong, and was about to ask, but saw that Jiang She shot another arrow. This Shenxuan took action, he drew his sword swiftly, the blade pierced the air with a whirring wind, collided with the arrow shot in mid-air, and split it in half.

Ding–

The pheasant arrow shattered into crumbs and crashed to the ground. The slender blade brushed Jiang Shot’s shoulder and nailed it into the opposite soil wall.

That knife was angry, and perhaps mixed with other emotions. Jiang She was stunned, and felt that something was wrong, so he took off the blindfolded black cloth and knelt down in the direction of Shen Xuan.

Lin Huan was also taken aback. Although Shen Xuan was severe, she rarely angered her subordinates.

Lin Huan was panicked for a while, even reluctant to eat the walnut meat. He bowed his head and walked to Jiang She’s side and knelt down.

Shen Xuan let go, leaving Xiao Changning to wait where she was. She walked sternly in front of Jiang She, looked at him condescendingly, and asked, “Where did this set of bows and arrows come from?”

Jiang She was few words, not good at words, and said, “Wu.”

Although there was only one word, Xiao Changning, who was not far away, could still hear it clearly. He was a little surprised that he had such a soft and clear juvenile voice, which did not match his calm appearance. No wonder he rarely spoke.

The word ‘Wu’ was said without beginning and end, but Shen Xuan quickly understood it, and said to Lin Huan on the side: “Call Youfu to come over.”

Lin Huan hurriedly got up and went away.

Wu Youfu rushed over quickly. Because of the rush, he didn’t have time to take off the blue cloth apron on his body. He wiped the sweat from his face and knelt beside Jiang She.

He glanced at the bow and arrow in Jiang Archer’s hand, then looked at Shen Xuan’s sullen expression, and hurriedly said, “This bow and arrow were indeed given to Chief Jiang by his subordinates.”

Shen Xuan stared at him.

That is the oppressive force from the superior. Wu Youfu was instinctively aware of the danger and bowed his head and confessed: “It was the set sent by the Su family in Luoyang a few days ago. The subordinates saw the excellent bows and arrows, but it was a pity to lose them. The factory supervisor’s order was bribed and he was willing to be punished.”

The East Factory is not a clean place. There are hundreds of fans to feed, and the small amount of silver set aside from the top is not enough. So when someone gave a gift and asked for a commutation of punishment, as long as it was not excessive, Shen Xuan would always open one eye and close one eye, not thinking about what happened today. It was just a bow, but it made him furious…

The sweat from his forehead ran across the temples and dripped down his chin. But Wu Youfu didn’t feel the heat, but only felt cold and panic.

Seeing Shen Xuan’s silence, Jiang shot: “I, that’s wrong.” The words seemed to be chewed up, and they bounced out word by word, speaking very hard.

Shen Xuan rubbed her eyebrows and said in a slow tone: “It’s not because of this, you get up.”

Jiang She was still kneeling straight, Wu Youfu’s face was ashamed, and he said, “Supervisor of the factory, your subordinates have done something wrong. Just punish your subordinates. Otherwise, I will wait for my conscience.”

“Get up.” This time it was an unquestionable order.

Wu Youfu and Jiang She looked at each other, and had to stand up slowly, waiting to be dealt with.

Shen Xuan did not punish them, but asked, “This bow and arrow were indeed given by the Su family?”

“It is true that the subordinates dare not lie.”

“How about the name taboo?”

Wu Youfu said: “The son of Su’s family, called Suqi, is a chess of Qinqi, calligraphy and painting.”

Shen Xuan frowned, savoring the name’Suqi’, and the emotions in her eyes flashed over, and she said in a deep voice, “How is his age and appearance? Does he have a message?”

“About his age, his father is a Luoyang squire. This time he rushed to see the factory superintendent, but he was driven out by the factory sergeant. He only left the bow and arrow. He said that he must give it to you.” Wu Youfu is the four chief officer. First, it is natural to find out the details of the incoming person and ask carefully, “The factory supervisor, what’s wrong?”

Shen Xuan pondered for a while, and ordered: “Bring him to the East Factory immediately, remember that he needs to be unscathed. The Governor has something to ask him.”

Wu Youfu didn’t dare to say much, and said ‘yes’, and hurriedly arranged with Jiang She.

Shen Xuan strode forward, standing in front of the earth wall and examining the familiar and unfamiliar pheasant arrows, her eyes gloomy. After a long time, he drew out the blade that was stuck in the strong, and returned the knife to its sheath.

Shen Xuan returned to Xiao Changning’s side and gently lifted her from the stone bench. Her voice was deep: “It’s a good idea to enjoy the flowers, but I’m really happy.”

“My palace cares more about you than flowers.” Xiao Changning took Shen Xuan’s hand, gently stroked the bulging veins on the back of his palm, and asked, “Can you tell this palace, that arrow? What’s the problem?”

Under the peach blossom, Shen Xuan’s eyes were very deep, as if the past was entangled.

He said, “Changning, I have seen this kind of arrow many years ago.”

Xiao Changning looked at him seriously: So what?

Shen Xuan was silent for a long time, before Fang said: “Golden lacquered cloud pattern, profound iron as the arrow, unique to the world, that is the arrow I gave to Ah Qi.”

“Did you find the lost arrow?”

“Ah… Arrow? I can’t find it.”

“If you can’t find it, I will give you something better.”

The ups and downs of the past, Shen Xuan’s light and fluttering sentence, seemed to be struck by thunder.

Xiao Changning’s eyes widened suddenly, a little unrecoverable, and his voice was dry and said, “Why… so?”

Luoyang and Qingzhou, Zhou’s family and Su’s family are simply two worlds that can’t stand up to each other! Why does this person named Su Qi have the arrow that Shen Xuan gave to Ah Qi when he was a child?

Xiao Changning didn’t dare to think deeply, and said anxiously: “Is it a coincidence or a conspiracy?”

“Perhaps someone found out about my life experience and used this to warn me, or maybe…” In the middle of the sentence, Shen Xuan paused, “When I bring back Su Qi, everything will be self-explanatory.”

The cool breeze hit, the red rustle, and the deep thoughts in his eyes were blown away.

…

Yueyao returned to Fusi in Beizhen, but noticed with a sharp eye that there were a few strange Jinyiwei guards at the door, and dozens of her subordinates on duty had gathered up and slouched for an unprecedented time, all standing on both sides of the courtyard with knives, like It is a row of straight pillars with a solemn atmosphere.

Yueyao entered the door, poked at this and then again, and asked with a smile: “The sun has come out from the west, why are you so diligent today?”

Under the sun, the Jinyi guards shed a drop of cold sweat, and their expressions stopped.

Yueyao walked up the stone steps suspiciously, and saw her confidant Liu Qianhu standing at the door. As soon as he was about to say hello, Liu Qianhu was sweating like a ghost. Voice: “Warm, big, human…”

Yueyao understood, all over her body, turned around and ran.

It’s a pity that the people sitting in the middle of the hall have heard her loud and crisp voice, and said in a deep voice in the room: “The more you caress.”

Yue Yao stiffened all over, as if nailed to the spot. It took a long time to turn around, bite the bullet and sneered: “I don’t know if the commander is coming, the humble duty will be missed to welcome…”

With the sound of calm footsteps, a pair of spotless soap boots stood in front of her eyes, and the new flying fish suit swung its hem slightly, extremely majestic.

And his voice was extremely cold, like a cold spring flowing by, “Summon Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei, and call the name.” After saying that, Wen Lingyin stretched out a white and powerful palm and handed a roster to Yue Yao.

Yueyao was miserable.

She has always been tolerant towards her subordinates. Occasionally, if there is an urgent matter at home, you can go home after taking a leave of absence from her. There is not too much red tape. Therefore, Beizhen Fusi Jinyiwei occasionally drinks a little wine and slacks off. Many people are…

The partial student met Wen Ling Yin Cha Gang! The new official took office with three fires, but she didn’t expect that it was herself who would be the first to bear the brunt.

Those who are late for no reason are fined ten lashes; those who are lazy and slack are fined ten lashes; those who gather in a crowd are fined 20 lashes and deduct salary…

Half an hour later, Yue Yao looked at the full school and wailed his subordinates, only to feel that all the whips had fallen on him. It was hard to tell.

After the penalty was over, Wen Lingyin said again: “Send the case files handled by Beizhen Fusi in the past ten years to the general government for my review.”

Yue Yao held back for a while, “I must have ten cars, adults can you finish watching?”

Wen Lingyin pressed the Xiuchun knife, light-colored eyes rolled lightly, and the temperatureless gaze fell on her.

Yue Yao persisted for a moment, then said with a dry smile: “Fine.”

The surrounding temperature began to warm up. Wen Lingyin raised his head and glanced at the sky, silently thought for a moment, and suddenly said, “The more I caress.”

Yueyao dare not slacken off: “The humble job is here.”

“Put on regular clothes and go out with me.”

“Huh, are you going to handle the case so soon?”

“No.” Wen Lingyin looked at her with a calm expression, but his eyes seemed to change, and said, “Go eat.”

“Eating?” Yue Yao was shocked and pointed to herself: “With me?”

Wen Lingyin nodded.

Hongmen Banquet!

The alarm bell in Yueyao’s mind is masterful.
