you got on my tail

Chapter 47 Chapter 22

Bai Fu has always disliked Jin Yiwei, and felt that if he blocked him, it was considered a bad breath, but he was an official and he was a citizen, so he regretted it after a while, and just as he was about to turn his head to explain, Cang Hua looked away indifferently , the girl who just saw him was staring at him obsessively, but was suddenly pulled by her companion to turn around.

Cang Hua also looked towards the direction she was staring at. A group of people was coming in the direction of Deshengmen. happy event.

"What's the matter?" Cang Hua raised his head and saw a man straddling a white horse and wearing a silver armor. This man was handsome and majestic, but he had no airs. expression.

Cang Hua looked up, with a curious expression on his face.

"The general is back, don't you know...it's General Xun! He has friendship with our master!" For some reason, in a flash, Bai Fu recognized him as Bai Xuehe who said "sent home" Xiao Hei, after realizing it, shook his head and said, "You may not know General Xun."

"Why don't I know him? His name is Xun Luo." Cang Hua nodded and smiled. Although he was not going to tell Bai Fu that he was Xiao Hei, at least he hoped that Bai Fu would understand that he was very kind to them.

Bai Fu raised his eyebrows, which made him even more sure that he was a Jinyiwei.

The common people were not very familiar with Xun Luo, they had long been accustomed to the victorious General Xu, and thought that Xun Luo was just a leading lieutenant general.This time Xu Yan returned to Beijing privately, the common people naturally didn't know about it, they waited at the city gate for a while, and then dispersed, only a few girls were still parked by the roadside.

"Who did you say was the general just now?" A girl excitedly said, "I didn't say that, but he looks really good-looking, with long legs and a straight waist."

"This is a new general, this time he defeated those barbarians in northern Xinjiang!" Someone hastily explained: "It seems... called Xun Luo."

Amidst the girl's discussion, Xun Luo had arrived at the imperial city on a white horse. At the city gate, he took off his armor and sword, and changed into his official uniform in a side room.

"Your majesty wants you to mobilize people to come back like this. General Xu will definitely tell you." After the eunuch delivered the uniforms, he left. Li Shu, who followed him through life and death, took off the Jimu sword and put it in the tray. Never lost a battle, this time you not only took over his mess, but also captured a goddamn Turkic city, I guess he will be jealous."

"General Xu won't." Xun Luo smiled. He really admired Xu Yan's courage and strategy when it came to fighting alone. "Victory and defeat are commonplace in military affairs. It's enough for me to keep the people safe."

Li Shu also smiled. When others said such things, they were definitely bragging about their loyalty, but Xun Luo was different. He said such things from the heart.

"General, this..."

Li Shu opened his mouth wide, and shook his hands to shake off the official uniform. Both of them were a little surprised, it was the uniform of the second-rank General Dragon and Tiger.

The general is as clever as a dragon, as brave as a tiger, commanding millions of soldiers and horses, and conquering the world's cities.

……

Bai Xuehe sat in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, quietly waiting for Fu Jiying to change clothes.

Fu Jiying was the only one in the Nuan Pavilion. He personally changed his casual clothes into dragon robes, but he still didn't go out after changing. Instead, he looked out through the cracks in the door and the reflection in the mirror, as if secretly watching Bai Xuehe's actions.

Bai Xuehe smiled thankfully, and then took a sip of the hot almond tea served by the eunuch. Fu Jiying remembered that it was Bai Xuehe's favorite taste, sweet and even a little cloying.

The person in the mirror was obviously thinner than before, and there were still two blood scabs on the corners of his eyebrows, as if he had narrowly escaped a mine disaster. He still had a pipe on his body, and he still smiled tremblingly as before.

After Bai Xuehe disappeared, Fu Jiying's first reaction was that he had discussed with Fu Jijue for a long time, and then escaped from the mine disaster, so he ordered Fu Jijue to return to the palace. The crane was also found and hurried back.

People are right in front of him, and nothing is wrong.

But Fu Jiying still felt strange, but couldn't tell what was wrong, he changed his smiling face to the mirror and said softly: "Aiqing, come in."

Bai Xuehe got up immediately, dragged the corner of his clothes into the door and knelt down. Fu Jiying helped him up, tapped the corner and said, "Aiqing should sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Bai Xuehe sat down in agreement, Fu Jiying looked down at his feet for a while and then frowned: "Your feet, are you injured?"

"It's nothing serious." Bai Xuehe smiled, and replied nonchalantly: "It's a little scratched, I didn't feel it when I wore cloth shoes before, but I don't feel used to it after changing to official boots."

"After that, I came here wearing cloth shoes, and I didn't ask you to dress so formally." Fu Jiying was angry, "Don't pretend to be pitiful in front of me."

"I'm not, I'm really injured." Bai Xuehe paled in shock, immediately got up, and opened the sleeves of his shirt to show off. Healed with bloodstains.

Fu Jiying stretched out his hand, and slowly slid across the gauze. The wound hadn't healed, and blood streaks appeared when he touched it lightly, which was very obvious on the snow-white gauze.Bai Xuehe tried to hold back with a smile, but finally took a light breath.

Fu Jiying put down the hand that was on the wound, and turned to probe his forehead, but saw the blood scab on the forehead again.

"It's my fault." Fu Jiying sighed, "Tell me, what do you want me to reward you for, I'm in a good mood today, you have a rare opportunity, you can talk about it vigorously."

"Your Majesty." Bai Xuehe raised his head, "Although Lan Ziqing's body was not found, I want him to be buried in a grand funeral according to the etiquette of meritorious officials."

"That's it?" Fu Jiying stretched out her hand, touched his forehead affectionately and smiled: "Xuehe, did you have something wrong here too?"

Bai Xuehe shook his head, and Fu Jiying's fingers went down, along the collarbone of his cheeks, all the way to his chest.

In the end, the two of them were so close that they could almost feel each other's heartbeats, and any confusion would be taboo.

"Xu Gao opened up the coal mines and faked mine disasters. The name is to occupy the coal mines. In fact, he is leading to the iron mines. He used the workers and coal of the coal mines to smelt iron. He ignored human lives." Bai Xuehe said every word, "Lan Ziqing is an upright and honest man. The county magistrate, who loves the people like a son, is well-known in the local area, but died in vain because of this incident, and there is no body left."

Bai Xuehe had a smile on his face, as if he was taking advantage of Lan Ziqing's death, but these words came from the heart.

Fu Jiying's heart tightened, and Bai Xuehe continued: "The miner who knew about it is dead, and the county magistrate before Lan Ziqing also died for no apparent reason. Doesn't the emperor want to know where all these iron objects have been taken?"

"Of course I want to know." Fu Jiying narrowed his eyes, took two steps back and looked into the distance, "But Aiqing, what if Xu Gao still refuses to tell?"

"Punishment." Bai Xuehe smiled, "Under severe punishment, there is nothing you can't say."

"What if Xu Yan refuses?" Fu Jiying smiled playfully, "After all, Xu Gao is his younger brother, and he still has military power in his hands, as well as our twelve guards in the capital, so it's hard to say who will betray him."

"Then he will rebel." Bai Xuehe smiled, speaking lightly.

Fu Jiying didn't answer for a long time, as if he was weighing things up.

At this moment, the eunuch's deep and hoarse voice sounded

"Your Majesty, General Xun is here."

"Xun Luo is Luo Cangxia's son." Fu Jiying nodded and opened his eyes like an eagle, "He is upright and has the same personality as his father. If there is no clear proof that he is required to fight with his comrades and lead troops to arrest his former boss, I'm afraid he won't accept it."

"There will be." Bai Xuehe nodded, "Besides Xu Yan, who else?"

"Okay." After a moment of silence, Fu Jiying said softly, "Snow Crane, don't act rashly, wait for my news."

……

Bai Xuehe went to the Ministry of Justice to take care of some chores accumulated when he left. It was already late at night when he left the imperial city. He declined the carriage and horses escorted by Fu Jiying, and walked along the outskirts of the city, watching as he walked.

The gate of the city was about to be unlocked, and vendors from the suburbs outside the city closed their stalls and went home, hawking some unsold goods at a discount along the street. When they quarreled, it was more lively than the daytime market.

Bai Xuehe also leaned over, and suddenly found that there was no silly Xiao Hei around him, and no one would be interested in these things.

"One of my things is worth 20 taels. You can see for yourself how much it has been damaged?" I have paid, and I must go to your commander to sue!"

"You bumped into it yourself...!" The recruit's face was flushed with anger, but his mouth was not fluent in dialect.

"How could you bump into something belonging to the common people?" At this time, the commander also came out, frowning amidst the sound of crying father and mother, the recruit quickly explained, and the commander pretended to be generous and waved his hands and said: "That's all, it's your first offence, no If you are punished, your wages for this year will be deducted."

It is not easy for recruits to make money, and they will burst into tears immediately.

The old fried dough stick merchant was very proud, and blocked his car in front of the city gate.

"20 taels." Bai Xuehe stepped forward, picked up an ornament from the booth, looked at it for a while, and threw it on the ground.

"You!" The porcelain ornaments shattered to the ground, and the merchant grabbed him by the collar, and the recruit just reminded him in fear, "This is 20 taels."

"I don't have any money, so I can only pay with something." Bai Xuehe didn't even bother to pretend to be shocked, and directly untied something from his waist, "Use this as collateral, and ask your commander to borrow some money."

The commander was frowning and wanted to call someone, so his eyes were fixed on the thing in front of him. It was a badge for important ministers to enter and leave the palace, and even Jin Yiwei had to give up three points.

The merchant was so frightened that his face was as white as paper, his knees were weak, and his mouth trembled hurriedly: "My lord, it's my fault..., I don't want to..."

"You are a merchant from out of town, and you even recognize the waist badge of my palace official." Bai Xuehe still smiled, "I see that you have deceived many people. That's all, give this little brother 20 taels of silver, and we will write it off." gone."

The merchant knew that he would avoid disaster, so he touched 20 taels of silver in a hurry. The soldier was too frightened to take it.

The soldier was overjoyed when he got a lot of money, he pulled Bai Xuehe indiscriminately and boasted: "You are really a good official."

"Of course it is." Bai Xuehe smiled smugly, his eyes no longer drifted away, at this time a person pushed a cart over, and put a few leftover plum blossoms on the cart.

——"Mei Qing. Be a good official."

"Wait a little longer." Bai Xuehe smiled into the air, "Wait a little longer."

When he spoke out of thin air, he just realized that he didn't know Lan Ziqing's words.
