The water is misty, and the rain beats.
Shen Zechuan was about to immerse himself in the water, and Xiao Chiye, who was behind him, could clearly see the curve of his waist and hips, which became more and more conspicuous with his movements.
Muscular and tight.
But it's not like a martial artist at all, because in Xiao Chiye's view, he is not threatening.
Shen Zechuan sank into the water, and his feet that had been soaked by the rain gradually warmed up. Xiao Chiye went into the water and leaned on the other side far away from him.
Shen Zechuan asked in surprise, "Why are you hiding so far?"
"I'm happy." Xiao Chiye rudely folded the wet handkerchief over his eyes, folded his arms, and stopped looking at Shen Zechuan.
After a while, Xiao Chiye felt inappropriate again, raised his hand and tore off the veil, staring straight at Shen Zechuan. Shen Zechuan felt that Xiao Er was like his Haidongqing at the moment, as if he was about to attack with a poke.
"What do you want to see?" Shen Zechuan's expression was as genial as a spring breeze, and he used the tone of a child coaxing the street to eat candied haws, "Tell me, I'll show it to you."
Xiao Chiye bent one leg, quietly pulled the only cover left on his waist, and said, "I touched it just now."
Shen Zechuan sank slightly, only staring at him with his eyes open.
Xiao Chiye was even more irritated by his scrutinized eyes, and said, "What are you doing?"
Shen Zechuan showed his chin and said, "I was in a good mood just now, why did it suddenly change?"
"I'm in a good mood at the moment." Xiao Chiye said, "You can shut up when you take a bath, you don't need to talk... Can you stop looking up at me like this?"
Shen Zechuan raised his body slowly, water droplets dripped down his chest, and his hair was soaked like ink, like a magnolia flower that climbed out of the mist.
Xiao Chiye couldn't take it anymore.
How could he think of "flowers"
He opened his eyes as Shen Zechuan leaned over, and when Shen Zechuan sat next to him, he could even smell Shen Zechuan.
Not fragrant, light, I really want to smell it a few more times.
Xiao Chiye retracted his arm that was on the edge, suddenly pulled the clothes on the small hanger, and stuffed them into the water, blocking his waist. After he had done all this, he calmly looked at Shen Zechuan and said, "What's wrong, I'm surprised? I'm afraid that you will get in the way of the second son and block him."
"I thank you..." Shen Zechuan looked hesitant.
Xiao Chiye lowered his head, only to realize that what he had torn off was Shen Zechuan's clothes.
"... Wash my clothes." Shen Zechuan said, "Let me stay here until tomorrow."
The awkward silence between the two of them quickly spread, the wind was rustling outside, and the autumn rain was desolate.
After a long while, Xiao Chiye said, "I can't do it even with this clothes on, I can go and call Chen Yang."
After saying that, he raised his head and whistled.
There was silence in the hot spring for a moment, and neither Lang Taoxuejin nor Meng came.
Xiao Chiye whistled again.
The man outside slammed his head under his wings, ignoring him. With such a heavy rain, it didn't want to fly out and get wet at all.
The silence seemed boundless.
Finally, Shen Zechuan said, "...I'll wring it out."
Xiao Chiye pressed his clothes back again, and said to him through gritted teeth, "Wait a minute!"
* * *
The two were sleepy in the hot spring for a night, and it was already 90 hours when the clothes were drying. Shen Zechuan finally put on his clothes, and when he tied his belt, he could still detect the staring eyes. But he didn't say anything, pretending not to know.
Xiao Chiye lifted the curtain, and it was still dark outside. The air was filled with mountain fog and the smell of dampness after the rain stopped. It is inconvenient to go down the mountain, and the stone steps are covered with thin ice.
Two people in tandem.
"The school field occupies the southwest of Fengshan Mountain," Shen Zechuan looked at from a high point. "Although it is very close to the town, it is completely blocked by Fengshan Mountain. The Eighth Camp will not inspect this place. Your position is too good. "
"If there was no Fengshan Mountain, I wouldn't want this land." Xiao Chiye pushed aside the maple branch and turned around to motion for Shen Zechuan to come under his arm.
Shen Zechuan passed by, the scenery in front of him suddenly became clear, all the obstructions turned into fog, and the forbidden army school grounds could be clearly seen, and there were already queues running on the school grounds.
"The Imperial Army didn't do anything during the Autumn Hunting." Shen Zechuan looked at it for a while and said, "But it can be seen that the equipment is complete. Now that Hua Siqian is dead, as soon as the follow-up seizure of the Autumn Hunting is over, the Supreme Court will find you."
Xiao Chiye's salary obviously couldn't support the 20,000 banned soldiers, and he couldn't misappropriate the army salaries of the Libei Iron Cavalry. However, according to the annual fee allocated by the household department before the autumn hunting, the Imperial Army obviously did not have the money to form such a scale. Xi Guan died on the "unclear", and now this "unclear" should come to Xiao Chiye immediately.
Xiao Chiye said, "Just come."
Where did the money come from, he didn't continue talking at the moment, and Shen Zechuan didn't ask any more.
After a while, Xiao Chiye said: "Many labor errands from the Ministry of Industry are handed over to the Imperial Guards. Since five years ago, every money spent by the Imperial Guards has been recorded in a book, written in black and white. of."
For this reason, Xiao Chiye has become a well-known debt collector in the Ministry of Household, and he thinks that he begs for money to spend, but he doesn't know that he has really saved all these years, and the only account that can be called a big expense is the money for drinks. Although Li Jianheng is sloppy, he is very generous to his brother. Every time he asks Xiao Chiye to go to Donglong Street, he pays for the girls and feasts with friends.
Li Jianheng ate the imperial food, and he had no concubine to discipline him, so he asked the palace for it when he had no money. Emperor Xiande was never stingy about his use of money, and even if he misappropriated his own treasury, he would also give it to him, so Li Jianheng was not short of money.
Xiao Chiye never returned to Chenglibei, but he never complained about Li Jianheng. Because he understands better than anyone else, Li Jianheng regards them as brothers.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chiye said: "The Queen Mother will use you to save you. If the weather is calm, you may be able to rise step by step among the Jinyiwei. But the emperor suddenly attacked, the Queen Mother... Has the Queen Mother looked for you?"
Shen Zechuan met Xiao Chiye's eyes.
He couldn't dodge, not even for a moment. Xiao Chiye's sense of smell is exceptionally keen, as long as he shows a little guilty conscience, he will definitely be seen by Xiao Chiye.
Shen Zechuan said firmly: "Never."
The cold wind blew, rolling up the hem of the two of them.
Xiao Chiye slowly exhaled cold air, and smiled indifferently: "Then you are lucky."
It was already dawn when we returned to Yedu, Xiao Chiye said immediately, "I'm going to rush Zaochao, you go back first."
Shen Zechuan nodded and watched Xiao Chiye beat his horse and leave. When he returned to the house, he didn't see Chen Yang, so he should have waited for Xiao Chiye outside the palace gate.
Shen Zechuan took out Dongzhu from his sleeve. He held Dongzhu between his fingertips and looked at it in the dim light. However, he stopped before he took off the cloth strip.
When he undressed, he put Dong-joo in his right arm pocket. But now, Dongzhu was taken out from the left sleeve pocket.
Shen Zechuan tutted lightly and frowned.
* * *
Xiao Chiye arrived outside the palace gate, got off his horse and got into his carriage, and quickly changed into his official robe. Chen Yang also prepared breakfast, the porridge was hot, and Xiao Chiye drank a bowl.
"Last night, I went to the school grounds to look for you, but I didn't find anyone." Chen Yang knelt by the curtain and whispered, "It's been unstable recently, you still have to follow people when you go out."
Xiao Chiye put the bowl down and said, "You ask people to keep an eye on Shen Lanzhou at any time."
Chen Yang responded and said, "Everyone outside the house is our people. As long as he goes out, he will definitely not escape your eyes. It's just that the Hua family has been defeated. Governor, what's the benefit of staring at him now?"
Xiao Chiye didn't answer, he lowered his eyes for a long time and his face was bad. It wasn't until Chen Yang mentioned Zao Chao outside that he wiped his hands with a clean handkerchief and said, "I think this person is unpredictable. If you look at him now, maybe you can see a little bit of kung fu?"
Chen Yang said: "He looks obviously weaker than when he entered Jinyiwei. If it wasn't for the Governor's help when he talked about the Autumn Hunting, I would definitely not have seen the slightest clue. However, if the Governor asked Zhaohui to look at it, he might be able to see it. something."
"Zhaohui had a face-to-face meeting with him when he entered the capital last time, and didn't see anything unusual." Xiao Chiye said, "His body..."
His voice came to an abrupt end, and after a while he said, "Send a letter to Li Bei immediately and ask Master to come."
Chen Yang was startled and said, "I want to invite..."
"No matter what method he uses to cover it up, he can't escape Master's eyes." Xiao Chiye turned his fingers and said indifferently, "Besides, I... also have something to do with Master."

Li Jianheng put the morning on hold, and before he slept enough, he listened to Shuanglu's report that Hai Liangyi was kneeling outside. Li Jianheng woke up immediately, but Mu Ru in his arms was still asleep and couldn't get out for a while, so he could only lift his neck and whisper to Shuanglu: "Go! Send him away."
Not long after Shuanglu went out, he knelt back and said, "Elder Ge must see the emperor. The servant said that the emperor had not got up yet, and Lao Ge said that he was kneeling and waiting for the emperor."
Li Jianheng panicked, and Mu Rucai woke up in his arms. He hurriedly coaxed: "Kiss, get dressed, and go to the Shenming Hall behind for dinner! I'm going to meet the old man!"
Mu Ru has black hair like waterfalls, and was born small and exquisite. At this moment, she doesn't bother, and dresses obediently. After getting dressed, she glanced at Li Jianheng with her affectionate eyes, and helped the person stand up like a grace.
Li Jianheng fell in love with her appearance, and held her hand reluctantly, wishing to hold someone on his lap to govern.
"Next time," Li Jianheng kissed her several times, "I will never let you retreat next time."
He held the person and talked for a while, Shuanglu came in and urged again, and Li Jianheng reluctantly let Mu Ru go.
Hai Liangyi looked solemn, came in and kowtowed.
Li Jianheng sat on the dragon chair and said, "Please get up, sir, please get up quickly."
Hai Liangyi didn't move, but nodded again.
Li Jianheng didn't get a response. He looked left and right, and felt his face was hot. He coughed twice and said, "I have had a cold for the past two days, so I want to sleep a little longer in the morning..."
Hai Liangyi said: "The emperor has been working diligently in night administration recently, and the old ministers have also heard about it. It's just that the memorials presented are not holy. The spirit of the world, the prosperity of the world is just around the corner."
Li Jianheng laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay..."
"But the emperor lives in the big house and is surrounded by thieves. If you let it go, over time, the emperor will be deaf and far away from the current affairs!" Hai Liangyi said resolutely and decisively, "I have heard that the servant and the eunuch Shuanglu were bribed by others and went to The emperor is surrounded by a lot of nasty people. According to the rules of the palace, if you don't have an order, you should be killed if you dare to lead outsiders into the palace!"
Shuanglu knelt down, looked at Li Jianheng in panic, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
"Mingli Hall is a holy place of light in the world, so there is no room for eunuchs to make noise." Hai Liangyi looked at Li Jianheng, "Your Majesty!"
Li Jianheng's chest was pounding, he looked at the stern Hai Liangyi, and remembered the extreme thrill of that night. His palms were sweating, and he wiped the dragon robe without any hope, but he didn't even dare to answer.
The guards outside had come to drag Shuanglu, and Shuanglu cried softly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"
"Sin..." Li Jianheng looked at Shuanglu, "Sin does not lead to death..."
"Your Majesty." Hai Liangyi said firmly, "Pan Rugui built the eunuch party, colluded with Hua Siqian, and made waves inside and outside the capital. Now it is time to guard against the slightest and to set an example! Not only that, but the prostitute | messing up the harem, bewitching the holy listeners, It should also be killed!"
Li Jianheng was terrified and said, "Don't dare, don't dare! With such a wise minister as the patriarch urging him every day, how dare I come here! Those things that are chasing the wind, the patriarch must not take it seriously."
However, Hai Liangyi said ruthlessly, "Without wind, there will be no waves, Your Majesty, there is no way to keep a bad face in trouble!"
Li Jianheng was really scared, how could he be willing to let Mu Ru die? He got up in a hurry and said embarrassedly: "Elder Ge, I know I'm wrong. The Shuanglu has served me for many years, and now you... that's it, I will be diligent in the future!"
Hai Liangyi kowtowed to save his face in the end.
Li Jianheng leaned on the table and listened to the sound of the stick outside, as if all of them hit him. He had mixed feelings and looked at Hai Liangyi, both aggrieved and afraid.
When Xiao Chiye came in, he saw someone splashing water and wiping the floor, and the blood was spread under his feet, red and terrifying. The eunuchs of Mingli Hall were all kneeling outside, and no one dared to raise their heads in silence.
Xiao Chiye stepped into the door. Li Jianheng was sitting on the dragon chair, dumbfounded. Seeing him come in, he was stunned for a while, and then burst into tears.
Li Jianheng smashed things while crying, and shouted, "What kind of emperor is this? To be humiliated by people pointing their noses like this! Is there no king in the world! What's wrong with me pampering a woman? What's wrong!"
