Jiaohua

Chapter 211 Drink with me
Although the street is cold these days, scholars still have to study. There are people coming and going on Huaizhou Street every morning and evening.

Shen Lie originally planned to wait for the army to go north and the city ban was lifted before going to Dongping Academy, but now Shen Wen's letter told him to say that he was sick for a few days and shut the door, not to go out, including not going to Dongping Academy to report.

"The imperial power will be suppressed, and the Guo family is in danger. Coming to Beijing at this time is no different from being a hostage? Although your surname is not Guo, the Guo family has favored you since childhood, and everyone in the world has heard about it..."

Moreover, Shen Fan directly stated in the letter that he should not forget who asked him to study in the capital, and urged him to come quickly along the way.

Shen Lie understood what Shen Wen meant, and knew what he was referring to.

"Don't think too much." Shen Lie said lightly.

Shi Shi was bringing tea, when he heard the words, he raised his head and looked at Shen Lie: "What are you talking about, young master."

Shen Lie is still looking out of the window, it is a small courtyard, the trees are yellow, the grass is withered, the light of the setting sun falls on his handsome face through the carved window, it seems to be covered with a layer of warm white of jade.

He didn't look back, and said lightly: "I'm talking to myself, don't pay attention to me."

"Tea, master." Shi Shi put down the teacup.

"Okay." Shen Lie replied.

He was finally willing to look away from the outside, and lowered his head to pick up the book on the case again. He looked at the profound words on it, his brows were still frowning.

Seeing him in a daze, Shitou knew that he liked to be alone, so he said, "Then, young master, I'll take my leave first, I still have some business outside."

"Yeah." Shen Li nodded.

Stone left, and the door of the study was gently closed.

Shen Lie was quiet for a long time, took away the paperweight, picked up the pen to dip in the ink, but when writing, the pen stopped again.

In the letter, apart from asking him to pretend to be sick, Shen Wen also told him about the situation of the rebel army and some major events in the capital recently.

He only put a little more ink when he mentioned the Guo family, and he stated the other things concisely without personal emotions. After telling them one by one, he must write back.

Shen Lie paused, and finally replied with four words, received, read.

........................

Compared with the depression of the previous few days, today's capital is extraordinarily lively, even at night.

There are many people walking on the street, but civilians are rare, most of them are officials and soldiers.

Tomorrow, Emperor Xuanyan will come to Chongtiantai to pray in person, and the details of the etiquette will have to be reconsidered and checked. The six departments will be in trouble, including the Ministry of Punishment, because Emperor Xuanyan seems to intend to amnesty the world.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't go back to the inn, but went to the lake.

She looked at the inn bedroom where Lin Qingfeng was on the other side of the lake. There was no candlelight, and it was dark.

The lake wind blew, and some of her loose hair was blown up, and the broken hair was messy around her face, but her heart seemed to have never been as peaceful as it is now for a long time.

From the beginning when she vaguely learned of the accident in the Duke's Mansion, to the fact that she didn't dare to know the truth, to the time when she overcame all the obstacles and uncovered the bloody situation with her own hands, she has never calmed down.

But now, surprisingly quiet.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his head to look at the night sky, and suddenly froze.

There are many stars in the south, which is reversed in the fairy pond. The stars in the east are obscure, flickering, bright and dark. In the north, a star lives alone, lingering outside, dazzling the stars in the sky. There is nothing in the west, and it seems that there are many dark clouds.

Xia Zhaoyi pinched her fingers lightly, her eyebrows slightly drawn together.

Another bad omen, how could it be tomorrow?

The day of ascending to the sky to pray for blessings must have been chosen by the Taishi Bureau, but with this fierce appearance now, things will definitely happen tomorrow.

Xia Zhaoyi didn't like Emperor Xuanyan, but tomorrow he went to Chongtiantai to pray for the march to the north. If something happened tomorrow, how could the soldiers' morale be settled?
It is a big taboo to mess up your own feet if you fail to succeed in your mission.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his head again, but paused again.

She froze for a moment, looking at the lake light in the distance.

The wind is still very strong, and it seems to be able to blow her awake.

There are rumors in the world, she is a guest of heaven and earth.

But in this world, she has indeed become a "guest".

So, should she take care of Emperor Xuanyan's affairs?Can you handle it?

As a guest, why should she care?
Regardless of the chief culprit who ordered the destruction of her family...

Xia Zhaoyi has never felt the hatred growing in his heart so clearly, it is very slow, but it is also very painful.

The sudden pain seemed to tear her apart from the inside of her body, shattering her bones and splitting her flesh and blood.

She licked her dry lips, not letting herself think about it any further.

Moreover, what she should do now is to take a good rest. After going back and forth in a day and walking so much, her body has been exhausted to the extreme, and she is extremely tired.

"Let's go." She said softly to herself, and finally turned and left.

The way out is still secluded, avoiding those main roads and crowds.

A group of people "passed by" her across three long streets, and the sound of horseshoes stepping on the empty long street was crisp and quiet.

Song Qingtang reined in his horse suddenly, and the men following him stopped too quickly, and many horsemen stood up.

Song Qingtang was riding on the horse, looking coldly at the closed Huiping pawnshop in front of him.

After the man threw a stone at him last night, there was no follow-up, and it was really inconvenient for him to show his face at that time, so he didn't dare to continue looking for it.

But the question is, does the other party know it's him?
This feeling made Song Qingtang feel uncomfortable.

At this time, the sound of horseshoes came from the front, and a soldier ran up to him on horseback: "General Song Lang! General Zeng called you for something urgent."

Song Qingtang looked over impatiently, pulled off the rein of the horse, and said, "Understood."

"Better hurry up! The general seems to be in a hurry." The soldier said again.

"Oh." Song Qingtang responded, pinching the horse's belly with his long legs, "Drive!"

However, when he hurried to Zhibei Yamen, what he was waiting for was a table of wine and food.

Zeng Tangzhi had already taken off his armor, sat there in plain clothes and said with a smile: "Come, drink with me."

Song Qingtang frowned, walked over and said, "General, now is not the time to drink."

"There's no need for us to patrol the city. It's still night, so get up early. Come, drink." Zeng Tangzhi said, raising his wine bowl.

Song Qingtang felt puzzled, and didn't know why he thought of asking him to come over for a drink, but although he was muttering in his heart, after sitting cross-legged, he still picked up the wine bowl.

After taking a sip, it's not spicy, but a bit bitter.

"This wine..."

"Eat meat, eat meat," Zeng Tangzhi yelled again, stuffing a large piece of meat into his mouth, and said as he ate, "Let's say goodbye, we don't know when we will see you next time, and the next meal will not be meat. Know when to eat."

"Soon." Song Qingtang said.

"Come on, drink." Zeng Tangzhi raised the bowl again.

Song Qingtang poured half a bowl for himself, raised his head up and drank it.

This taste is still not right.

He shook his head, feeling dizzy more and more.

He raised his head and looked at Zeng Tangzhi: "General, this..."

Before he could finish speaking, he tilted his body and fell to the ground.

The curtain at the back was lifted, and a tall, thin figure came out from inside.

Cao Youyun looked at Song Qingtang on the ground and snorted coldly.

　"Gossip Queen: The First Daughter Can't Be Messed With": The eldest lady of the Tang family has lived in seclusion for three years, and everyone in the celebrity circle is vying for the title of queen.

　　The eldest lady of the Tang family walked leisurely through the fruit forest with her hoe on her shoulders and her trousers rolled up.
