licking calf love

Qi Yan resumed walking dozens of steps, and suddenly supported the fence and frowned: That little son's legs are really strong.

When I returned to the courtyard, I opened my trousers and saw a bruise on my calf.

She shook her head helplessly, perhaps seeing the shadow of Xiaodie taking care of her back then from the little boy, so she couldn't get angry.

Qi Yan looked at the pale yellow mountains in the distance through the small windows in front of her. In the late autumn, everything was desolate, and the pain in her heart spread again.

In the past, she always hoped that Xiaodie was still alive in a certain corner of the grassland, but since she went out of the Nameless Valley and walked around, this kind of thinking has become more and more fading.

Except for the Tuba Department, who colluded with the Wei court, all the people of the grasslands were made into low-ranking status. These prairie people initially built the city wall in the north. In recent years, the city wall has been repaired one after another. The court of the Wei Kingdom detained these prairie people to the prefectures and continued to work as coolies.

When she went to Jizhou, she had seen the soldiers of the Wei State wielding whips to drive away the grassland people. I couldn't help but inquire about it: the prairie men who had been registered as low-ranking prairie men worked as coolies, and the women with poor labor were mostly sold to the livestock market, where they shared the market with cattle and horses.

The women in the slave market were all scrawny and bare-bones, allowing those Wei people with special hobbies to arbitrarily manipulate them as if they were picking livestock.

That's how the fifty-two coils given by the masked man were spent.

Even if Qi Yan knew very well that she should turn a blind eye to the great cause of revenge...

But watching the people of the Wei country pour out the leftovers into the food bowl with the chants of feeding the pigs, and the former compatriots scramble for the rancid rations like livestock, she couldn't calm down.

Xiaodie was only five years old when the plow department suffered. If she is still alive, Qi Yan can't imagine what kind of life she has lived these years.

After that, Qi Yan began to pray cruelly: Xiaodie and Bayin were already dead.

Died in the war, died in childhood; like Liu Huo, he never succumbed to the Wei people for a day. Buried under some unknown land, returned to the embrace of the gods.

The pair of siblings whom I had just met flashed through my mind again, and they were looking forward with some luck: Bayin and Xiaodie were still alive.

This is an extremely complicated and indescribable mind. The tenderness of family affection and the cold reason are constantly tearing Qi Yan's heart, which is a pain that is deeper and farther than tearing the heart and lungs.

Qi Yan retracted her gaze and sat quietly for a while, before she felt her right forearm numb.

He loosened his fingers that were trembling due to the constant force, and four crescent-shaped blood marks appeared on the palm of his hand.

She looked at the bleeding palm calmly but didn't intend to deal with it. She learned this method of solution from the masked man.

When the untouchable wounds in my heart are torn, I use other methods to transfer the wounds to where I can see.

My heart doesn't seem to be so painful anymore.

"Xiaodie, wait for brother." Qi Yan muttered to herself.

When the Wei Kingdom is in chaos, the smoke of gunpowder is everywhere, and the Wei Kingdom's royal family is repaid with blood; my sister will come to accompany you.

On this road of revenge, Qi Yan never thought of retreating.

She closed her eyes again, recalling the dossier Master showed her, and tapped the table with her clean and skinny fingers.

The middle book ordered Xing Jingfu to be the champion in the first year of Jingjia, and ordered a sixth-grade petty official. However, within seven years, Nangong Rang gradually brought him to the position of Zhongshuling, which can be said to be a favorite of the generation.

Xing Jingfu Commoner was born in the court and has no faction. He has been the mainstay of the fight against the Taiwei Party for many years.

The two deputy examiners were Deng Hongyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Shu Liren, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

The former is Lu Quan's colleague and friend, and the latter is Lu Quan's favorite student. According to the information, Shu Li cultivated both humanities and martial arts. After the world was settled, Lu Quan recommended him to serve directly in the Ministry of Personnel.

Qi Yan hooked the corners of her mouth, and the Wei Kingdom's court was really becoming more and more interesting.

Suddenly, a shout came from outside Chai Fei: "Dare to ask Jinzhou Qi Yan, is Qi Gongzi staying here?"

Qi Yan raised her eyebrows, first went to the main room to wash the blood stains on her hands, and then came to the courtyard and asked, "I'm here, dare to ask who is under your feet?"

"Little Xie's housekeeper, came to send invitations to the son."

Qi Yan immediately became vigilant: Except for Gongyanghuai who didn't know each other in the capital, he only left his address when he went to the Ministry of Rites to receive the Chunwei test card. How did the other party find him

Qi Yan opened the firewood door, and the other party was a young man dressed as a family man. Respectfully called a thousand children: "Master Qi, the youngest is the servant of Xie's house. My master ordered the villain to present an invitation, and I will invite the gentleman to a banquet on the day of this month. As for the name of the owner, the villain dare not say it, please invite me. It's already written in the book, you can tell at a glance, son."

Qi Yan did not take it, but asked, "I just arrived here, and I don't seem to know the master of your residence."

Jiading replied with a smile: "You don't know, my son, although my master has no official or rank, he is kind and generous. He likes to meet friends with literature and has a small name in this capital. I heard that the son is talented and wants to see his style. Many students from other places are going to the banquet, and I also ask the son to accept it."

After speaking, Jiading bent down and held the invitation card with both hands and held it high above his head. Qi Yan took the invitation after weighing it secretly.

"Thanks to the kindness of the master of your mansion, I took the courage to accept it."

Jiading thanked me a lot, and the two said a few more polite words before returning to each other.

Qi Yan opened the invitation, and saw a line of big characters on it: "I sincerely invite the son of Qiyan of Jinzhou to come to the waterside house in this month."

The signature is - Xie An.

Qi Yan recalled for a long time and determined that there was no character named Xie An in her memory, nor was there in the dossier that Master gave her.

Who is this Xie An? Where did you find out where you were from

On the other side, the sisters of the Nangong family had just returned to the mansion, and the guards who were protecting them in secret reported the news that the two had disguised themselves out of the palace to Nangong Rang.

Nangong Rang was silent for a moment after listening, and asked, "Is my son happy?"

The guard kneeling before His Highness reacted for a while before he understood who the "Myer" in the Emperor's mouth was referring to. Loudly replied: "His Royal Highness Zhen Zhen is very curious about folk things, the villain dared to infer that His Highness should be happy."

"Since this explanation, don't stop Jing Nu when she wants to go out. Send more faces to protect her secretly, so that Jing Nu will not find out."

"Yes." The guards exited the main hall, thinking in their heart: Your Majesty's love for Princess Zhen Zhen is truly unparalleled.

"Forty-nine."

"The slave is here."

"It is said that Lu Zhongxing entered the palace."

"Yes."

Lu Zhongxing was feeding the fish with Nangong Jingnv in the back garden of the Princess Mansion, when he received a message that he left the mansion in a hurry. Nangong Jingnv's mind was pure and did not think deeply, but Lu Zhongxing's heart sank: How does Your Majesty know his whereabouts so well

When he came to the imperial study, Lu Zhongxing raised his robe and bowed: "Lu Zhongxing sees His Majesty, Wei Chen hastily entered the palace without changing his official uniform, I hope His Majesty forgives his sins."

Nangong Rang put down the imperial pen in his hand and said with a smile, "Is your nephew here? Take a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Where does nephew come from?"

"Chen... from Princess Zhen Zhen's residence."

Nangong Rang didn't say anything, just watched Lu Zhongxing calmly for a moment, and the latter knelt down with a soft knee: "I am guilty."

"Oh? What's wrong with my nephew?"

"Wei Chen... Wei Chen was not good at doing things and didn't protect the two princesses."

Afterwards, it was useless for Nangong to ask Lu Zhongxing to tell the story of the two Nangong sisters disguised as leaving the house one by one, and even said that Nangong's sister's hand was injured.

Just an hour ago, he swore that Nangong Jingnu would keep the secret.

Nangong Rang said with a smile, "I already know about this, nephew, get up quickly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Jing Nv has just left the palace, and she is quite novel about civil affairs. She is inevitably a little playful at a young age, so this matter will be sealed."

Lu Zhongxing lowered his head and broke out in cold sweat, and replied bravely, "I understand."

Nangong let the point stop, and the conversation changed: "In the future, my nephew Mu Xiu will often go to the princess' mansion to walk around. If Jing Nv wants to go out, you will have full protection."

Lu Zhongxing was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him.

Nangong Rang waved his hand and dismissed the person, but when Lu Zhongxing left the hall, his eyes became gloomy: Do you still want to climb high with such a virtue

Although Nangong Rang didn't know what Lu Quan had secretly talked to with his second son Lu Zhongxing that day, he could guess something based on his knowledge of Lu Quan.

In recent years, in order to attack the Taiwei's Mansion, he ordered Tiansi and Yanguan to use others as an example to exaggerate the "twins ominous" thing, and there was a deep discord between the Lu brothers.

In particular, the eldest son Lu Boyan is very afraid of this twin brother. Lu Quan has only this pair of direct sons under his half-hundred knees, and the eldest son is about to take the big test. In order to appease the eldest son, he will definitely take action.

According to the laws of Wei State, the consort cannot participate in politics, and only Lu Zhongxing's complete withdrawal from the court can calm Lu Boyan's anxiety.

If he is not mistaken, Lu Quan will beg him after the big exam...

The Lu family tree has deep roots, and Nangong Rang has long wanted to eradicate it. If Lu Zhongxing married his only daughter, he might be safe for the rest of his life.

Nangong made a sneer: Lu Quan, the old fox's wishful thinking, was flawless.

but…

Another ten days passed, during which Qi Yan went to the study to sell two pairs of characters. The shopkeeper was overjoyed when he saw Qi Yan: "You're here, please come in quickly."

The two came to the secluded compartment, and the shopkeeper took out a bag of bulging cloth pockets and held it in front of Qi Yan: "Please accept it, old man."

"This is?"

The shopkeeper's smile became more and more flattering: "Master Juren, your last masterpiece was bought only two days after it was hung up. You didn't keep your address, you really made me wait."

Qi Yan took the cloth pocket and started with a lot of weight: "How much?"

Seeing Qi Yan, the shopkeeper was still indifferently flattered, and even more felt that the young Juren in front of him was unfathomable: "The old Juren doesn't know anything, most of the calligraphy and paintings in my store are not priced. You made an offer. A few days ago, a noble man came to see your masterpiece at a glance. The master also said: 'Thousands of gold are easy to get, but good works are hard to find', so he raised his hand and ordered someone to seal it with a hundred taels of silver. According to Sanqi Split the account, minus the deposit paid to you last time, the total is sixty-seven taels, can you count?"

"No need, the students can trust you."

"By the way, Master Juren's seal has also been engraved. Why don't you sign on these two new works? The little old man will also win the prize."

Qi Yan nodded and dropped the seal of "Lay Shepherd" on the two characters.

The shopkeeper's eyes gleamed, and he couldn't contain his joy.

Qi Yan put the silver in the box, and before leaving, repeatedly instructed the shopkeeper: Do not reveal the identity of the shepherd layman.

The other party hurriedly agreed.
