Chapter 87
Chapter 87
Xie Jue was placed in the back hall of the Pingjiang government office.
When Jiang Xiaohan left, Guan Zhong was no longer in the house, and there were two young soldiers guarding the door for Xie Jue. Seeing Jiang Xiaohan coming, they all had expressions of respect and fear.
Jiang Xiaohan didn't find it strange at all.These young soldiers are exactly Xie Jue's personal guards. Apart from being close to Xie Jue, they have always done chores on the scene, and they can't compare with Wei Shen and other experienced commanders. , naturally wouldn't have a good attitude towards him.
The light was on in the room, and when Jiang Xiaohan pushed open the door, he realized that Xie Jue had already woken up.
Guan Zhong didn't show mercy, Xie Jue sat on the bed with his back to the door, the back of his neck was bruised.
Jiang Xiaohan closed the door with his backhand, Xie Jue heard his movement, moved his body, but did not turn his head.
"What are you doing here? See if I ran back to the capital while you were not paying attention." Xie Jue said with a self-deprecating smile: "Master Jiang should have some confidence in himself, even the commander of the Divine Guard Battalion can work for you , How dare I break into the city gate by myself."
It doesn't make sense with people who have lost their minds, and Jiang Xiaohan knows this well.
He lit the candle with a silver braze, then walked over and sat by Xie Jue's bed.
Xie Jue's fingers unconsciously tightened the brocade quilt on his body, nervously strangling the cloth tightly in his hands.Jiang Xiaohan glanced slightly, and tried to pull a corner of the brocade quilt, but found that it couldn't be pulled.
Jiang Xiaohan sighed.
There was an abnormal paranoia on Xie Jue's face, and the 16-year-old boy had red marks at the corners of his eyes, and he pretended to be extremely indifferent: "What else are you here for?"
Jiang Xiaohan let go of his hand: "Did I tell you before that if there is anything different about Xie's family letter, please tell me as soon as possible?"
Xie Jue didn't get angry, and subconsciously raised his voice a little: "Co-author, are you here to blame me for not telling you earlier?"
"Hush." Jiang Xiaohan raised his finger and made a gesture of silence.He frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Keep your voice down, the noise is giving me a headache."
I don't know if it's because of fatigue or the few mouthfuls of blood just now, but Jiang Xiaohan's voice was soft and low, full of tiredness, even Xie Jue, who was angry, couldn't help but look at him twice.
In fact, Xie Jue also knew that Jiang Xiaohan would never harm Xie's family.He had known Jiang Xiaohan for many years, and since he was three years old, he stayed in Beijing and received a lot of care from him. Later, he entered the Shenwei camp as the emperor's guard, and Jiang Xiaohan also contributed to it.Although Xie Jue was young, he didn't know what to do.
He is just angry.
With such a big anger, Jiang Xiaohan actually decided to hide it on his own.If something really happened to his father and brother, he didn't know about it and didn't say anything. He still drank and listened to books every day, and had a good time, which made him think about how to deal with himself in the future.
Jiang Xiaohan obviously thought of this too, he pulled the brocade quilt from Xie Jue's clenched fingers, and rubbed his stiff and convulsive muscles for him.
After doing all this, Jiang Xiaohan said softly: "...I don't tell you, because I am afraid that you will go back to the capital regardless. The water in the capital is deep now. If you go back like this, Xie's family can't fish it out. You can't tell for sure. You have to go in too."
Xie Jue is only 16 years old this year, and in Jiang Xiaohan's eyes he is considered a half-grown child. Looking at Xie Jue's current appearance, he sometimes thinks of himself back then.
That year, the 16-year-old high school champion, who entered the cabinet to govern himself.
Jiang Xiaohan knew exactly what it meant to "grow up", and it was for this reason that he wanted to delay the process as much as possible, just like when Xie Liuyi taught him martial arts back then, teaching Xie Jue softly and gently.
But obviously not.
Young people have high spirits and feel that the sky is high and the sea is wide.Others can't persuade you, you have to stick your head on the south wall, hit your head and bleed to know what pain is.
Xie Jue still looked unconvinced, Jiang Xiaohan felt in his bosom, and took out two letters.
——It was Xie Yao's letter from home.
He stroked the letter, then put it in Xie Jue's arms.
Xie Jue looked at him with puzzled eyes: "What is this?"
Jiang Xiaohan didn't answer, he reached out and patted Xie Jue's shoulder: "If you really want to do something for the Xie family, I won't stop you. In the final analysis, your life is your choice."
As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to go out, when he reached the door, he suddenly added another sentence.
"I will do my best no matter what, but Xie Jue, once a person grows up, no matter what he encounters in the future, he will never regret it."
Xie Jue was taken aback.
He squeezed the two letters in his hands tightly, and suddenly had a very bad premonition.It seemed that this thing weighed a thousand catties, and once he took it apart, he would never be able to look back.
"Hey——" Xie Jue called out to Jiang Xiaohan in a panic, "What is this?"
Jiang Xiaohan didn't turn his head back: "This is the truth you want to know."
As he spoke, he pushed open the door and walked out. Within a few steps, he heard heart-piercing wailing from the closed door behind him.
Jiang Xiaohan paused.
The two soldiers guarding the door were startled, and looked at each other for a while, hesitating whether to open the door and have a look.
"Don't open the door." Jiang Xiaohan said, "Let him be quiet."
Jiang Xiaohan was not surprised that Xie Jue would open that letter.He looked at Xie Jue, as if he felt that life was an established trajectory, and these people had actually been in court since the moment they were born.In any case, eventually have to go down this road.
unavoidable.
But at least Yan Qing can avoid this undercurrent, Jiang Xiaohan thought.
He had been deliberately keeping himself busy just now, and now that he was free, the emotions in his heart seemed to come alive, and slowly wrapped around his heart again.
Anxiety and regret were mixed with sporadic resentment, and the uncontrollable negative emotions grew wildly in an instant, sour as if his whole heart was soaked in spicy wine, and the slightest movement was painful.
But more is still rejoicing.
In any case, Yan Qing doesn't have to worry about it with him, every day when he wakes up in the morning and opens his eyes, he has to start thinking hard, for fear that a fatal stab will be stabbed behind him at any time.
This is great, Jiang Xiaohan thought.Yan Qing will go back to the rivers and lakes, go back to Kunlun or continue to practice among the people, all he needs to do is stay clean, and he doesn't have to worry about other things.
Autumn in the south of the Yangtze River is more gloomy and colder than in the capital city, but after standing outside for a while, the cold air seems to penetrate into the bones along the veins, attracting a bone-piercing chill.
Eighty miles outside the city, Jing Zhan huddled beside the fire with his clothes gathered, and was tearing dry food in small mouthfuls.
This cake was bought at a random shop in the market outside the gate. Jing Zhan was tearing up the cake, while swearing in his heart that Yan Qing's shopping vision was much worse than Jiang Xiaohan's. The cake was dry and hard, much worse than last time. The mille-feuille cake that Jiang Xiaohan brought home was far from perfect.
It took him about a quarter of an hour to understand what happened tonight.
"Master, I don't think foster father is the kind of person who cares about human life." Jing Zhan swallowed the tasteless cake with difficulty: "In addition, someone sent a message that Master went to the government office tonight, so what happened today Obviously someone deliberately instigated it."
"I know." Yan Qing poked the fire with dry wood, and said calmly: "The reason why I believe the person who sent the message today that Xiaohan asked me to help him is also because he came to the mansion before— —Do you remember the day when you and Ah Ling caught red carp?"
Jing Zhan thought for a while, then remembered the scene of that day, and couldn't help but suddenly realized: "So it's that person?"
Yan Qing nodded, and said again: "So when I came to the government office today, I saw Xiaohan was interrogating He Liuyun, so I understood that this is a plan to sow discord."
Jing Zhan was even more puzzled: "But Master, we—"
"Why did you bring you back to Kunlun, playing into someone else's arms?" Yan Qing asked.
Jing Zhan nodded honestly.
To be honest, even though Jing Zhan is Yan Qing's apprentice, he should be the first in everything.But Jiang Xiaohan has always been very kind to his brother and sister. Jing Zhan is more mature than the other children since he was a child, so he naturally knows how Jiang Xiaohan likes Yan Qing. What happened tonight was just a few words by Yan Qing, but as long as If you think about it carefully, you will know that Jiang Xiaohan will never feel good about going there.
If he hadn't known that Jiang Xiaohan was not a cruel person, Jing Zhan would have taken A Ling away with him no matter what he said.
"He killed those 200 people today in order to kill He Liuyun, which means that He Liuyun at least made him feel in danger, and he had no choice but to do so." Yan Qing put down the dry firewood in his hand, and habitually touched the waistband. Jade pendant, for some reason, he didn't keep Jiang Xiaohan's jade pendant in Jiangfu, but took it away.
Yan Qing regained his composure, and said: "Although he didn't tell me clearly, after thinking about it, maybe it has something to do with Xie Yongming's matter. If this is the case, then the lives of these 200 people may have exchanged for more lives."
Jing Zhan was even more puzzled when he heard his words clearly said, "Then why is Master..."
"But those 200 people must die?" Yan Qing said: "It is true that exchanging 200 people for 2000 people is a good deal, but if you were among those 200 people, would you still think so?"
"This..." Jing Zhan was speechless.
Although he has learned from Yan Qing for a long time, he can think for himself when encountering some things, but he still can't answer this kind of question.
Yan Qing couldn't answer either.
"I know that Yu Li may not have done anything wrong." Yan Qing said, "But is this really axiom?"
Jing Zhan couldn't understand more and more, so he couldn't help asking blankly: "What?"
"I can understand what he did, but I can't agree with it for a while. It is true that everyone is mortal, sooner or later, it's just fate." Yan Qing said to himself: "But all things in the world are equal, friendship and justice, Which one is the best.”
Yan Qing pursed his lips as he spoke, and threw the dry stick in his hand into the fire, sending sparks flying everywhere.
Jing Zhan took a mouthful of biscuits before he could swallow them, so he was covered with an outer shirt, and was put on the horse by Yan Qing involuntarily.
"Wait, master!" Jing Zhan pulled down the jacket on his head a little: "So why are we in such a hurry to go back to Kunlun?"
Yan Qing pulled the rein, and the horse under him immediately started to run.
Yan Qing's voice was drowned out by the wind in his ears, and Jing Zhan couldn't hear clearly even though he tried so hard.
"To clarify."
