In March in the capital, the weather has become much warmer, and people from the Yamen of Beizhen Fusi are coming and going. Ever since Mr. Lu took over the post of Zhenfushi, there have been more and more things to deal with.
Bian Guang met Jiang Xian in the atrium. The two chatted for a few words and then left. As the two most trusted confidants of Master Zhenfu, Lu Hanjiang became the boss, so they naturally had more things to deal with. .
After passing a few corners, Bian Guang came to his office, where Ji Qianli had been waiting for a long time.
"I've met Mr. Bian." Ji Qianli saluted quickly.
"Get up."
Bian Guang raised his hand casually, and when he saw the other party getting up, he asked directly: "I'm going to the Northwest Sword-making Villa. How did the errand go?"
Ji Qianli laughed twice: "With Mr. Lu personally in charge, naturally everything is safe. It's just that my ability in the humble position is mediocre and I failed to make any achievements. Mr. Bian's hard work was wasted... I'm really ashamed."
"There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to talk like this. You and I are friends, and this little favor is nothing."
As Bian Guang spoke, he walked back and forth twice in front of Ji Qianli with his hands behind his back, and then said: "No one can help you with your matter except the Lord himself. You have a rest for two days. You will also follow me when you return to the Gongsun family." .”
Ji Qianli opened his mouth slightly, but a few words were stuck in his throat but did not come out. In the end, they only turned into two words: "Thank you."
Bian Guang shook his head and said: "Remember, the thoughts of adults are always elusive. When working around him, you only need to keep your duty. If you are lucky, the credit will fall on you."
"I understand." Ji Qianli nodded solemnly.
Bian Guang patted his shoulder and couldn't help but joked: "I didn't expect that one day, your old man would fall in love with me. When we brothers went to Yue Tower together, you were the only one who was serious and stubborn. I didn’t even bother to pick it up, but now... tsk tsk.”
Ji Qianli hesitated to speak, but in the end he could only smile and say nothing.
Seeing the other party's appearance, Bian Guang was helpless and could only sigh: "It's so hard for a hero to be a beauty."
Afterwards, the two chatted for a while, and Ji Qianli left. After he left for a while, another person quietly came out of the cubicle. It was another deputy Qianhu promoted by Lu Hanjiang. , Cui Yixiao.
"well."
Bian Guang sighed softly, and Cui Yixiao stepped forward, looked at the direction Ji Qianli was leaving, and asked, "Sir, it seems that you are worried about the general banner brother?"
"I have been in the arena for too long."
There was a hint of helplessness in Bian Guang's tone, and his expression was somewhat silent. When Cui Yixiao saw it, he couldn't help but say: "In this case, this person is not suitable to stay with you."
"I also know that, but we have been brothers for many years, and this is the only time he begged me. I have to let him stop thinking about it on his own."
Bian Guang raised his head and sighed: "Old Ji, he is a good person."
Cui Yixiao said calmly: "Jin Yiwei doesn't need any good people."
"I understand."
Bian Guang was silent for a moment, and after calming down, he slowly said: "Lao Ji is quite a good person, but it's a pity that he is not suitable to be a royal guard. By the way, I heard that Master Cui has a few friends serving in the capital camp?"
"Yes, I am also from the frontier army, so I know a few of them," Cui Yixiao replied, and then asked doubtfully: "Sir, what do you want...?"
"Brother, let's find a place for him in the capital so that we can all get together and get away." Bian Guang said.
"Master Bian, you are indeed kind-hearted."
Cui Yixiao also sighed, and immediately agreed to the matter: "Leave this matter to me."
"Thank you."
"No need."
...
On the other hand, he left Beisi Yamen and rushed home without stopping. He lived in the south of the city far away from the main street, in a small and inconspicuous house.
Ji Qianli's parents have both passed away and he is alone. He has never married and has no children. Besides him, there are two brothers in the family who have already separated and lived alone. He is now living alone.
However, when he returned home, the deserted courtyard was a little more smoky, and some warmth appeared on Ji Qianli's unsmiling face.
He pushed the door open and entered the kitchen, only to see a girl in plain clothes working inside. When she heard the door opening, she turned around, with an expression on her face that was still at a loss. She lowered her head and stayed there for a long time before she lowered her head. Say: "Sir, you are back..."
Ji Qianli scratched his hair and said with some embarrassment: "Miss Pei, you don't have to be so outspoken, just call me by my name."
This woman is Pei Xia, a former disciple of Beiyue Hengshan Sect, and the one Ji Qianli saved originally.
The other party was a woman from the Jianghu, and she had once been against Jin Yiwei, and even knew the identity of Jin Yiwei. Normally, such a person should be eliminated quickly, but for some reason, he managed to save the other party through some strange combination of circumstances.
Not only did he save the person, he also brought him to his home to take good care of him. In order to give him a stable life, he is now running around looking for a way out.
When Bian Guang said that a hero was saddened by a beauty, it was all because of brotherly love. For other people, it would be light to accuse him of being obsessed.
In fact, it was not just Ji Qianli who was confused, but Pei Xia herself was also dizzy. She was seriously injured on Mount Heng, and she subconsciously grabbed someone's trousers. Only when she woke up did she realize that the person who had saved her had actually... It's Jin Yiwei.
Putting this connection together, I am afraid that those who besieged Hengshan at the beginning also had Jin Yiwei's men, or maybe those Wudang disciples were all Jin Yiwei pretending to be.
She was frightened and angry, and wanted to escape from here, but suddenly she remembered everything that had happened. She risked her own life to save her junior sister, and the master could only look away, so she chose Shi Suxue in the end. , abandoning oneself.
If she had died at that time, Pei Xia might not have so many emotions, but she survived. Now, the pain of being abandoned that day has become a nightmare in the middle of the night, tormenting her all the time. heart.
The little junior sister is a close disciple of the master, and it is natural for her to be taken care of. But the more she tells herself this, the more aggrieved she feels for having risked her own life to save others.
This was like a hurdle that fell in Pei Xia's heart, and she might never get over it, so she gradually gave up her intention to return to the Hengshan Sect. The world was so big that she had nowhere to go, and she was also injured and couldn't travel far. , so she temporarily lived here in Ji Qianli.
Unexpectedly, they lived together for more than half a year. Over the past six months, the relationship between the two gradually changed. Pei Xia did not want to accept favors for nothing, so he did what he could to repay the other person, such as taking care of the housework for the other person.
After getting along for a while, the two of them saw something different from each other than they imagined. For example, Pei Xia discovered that there were good people among the Jinyi Guards.
On the other hand, she was vaguely aware of Ji Qianli's attitude towards Pei Xia, and sometimes she thought that maybe it would be good to live like this for the rest of her life.
Ji Qianli returned to Beijing to report on his work, but he was leaving soon. He looked at Pei Xia, hesitating again and again, and did not tell the other party what happened at Zhujian Villa.
At the dinner table, Ji Qianli mentioned that he was about to leave Beijing. Pei Xia nodded slightly, with an expression that made it difficult to understand his thoughts.
Ji Qianli hesitated for a long time before he bit the bullet and said, "When I come back from finishing my errands this time, we will, I will, just..."
I pity him for being an old man. A word was stuck in his throat for a long time and he couldn't say it, and his old face turned red from holding it back.
"My lord, there is no need to say anything. My little lady knows," Pei Xia lowered his head shyly and said to the other party in a quiet voice: "I wish you a safe journey, my lord. My little lady... is waiting for you in the capital. .”
Ji Qianli was startled at first, and then overjoyed. He was so helpless that Pei Xia couldn't help but laugh out loud. The cold courtyard was finally dyed with a bit of happiness.
