Chapter 4 Spring Snow (3)

Sit properly

Where?

Zhang Duo raised his head and said in a flat tone: "I have allowed you to live for ten days, today is the first day, what are you afraid of"

The old servant lowered his head and smiled: "Whether half a ghost or not, at least I can still be a person in front of the master for ten days. If the old master were to know that you are willing to have someone by your side, it would surely bring him comfort"

Prepare snake gall liquor

Who

Zhao Qianyi was momentarily taken aback, his arrogance suddenly diminished. With a sense of indignation, he released the shackles, rising to kneel down. He threw the chains from his shoulders onto the ground

General Zhao Qian, the leader of the Central Army, stood before the jade screen adorned with a hundred birds, shackles hanging from his wrists, as he silently watched a person dressed in a Yanju cloth robe approach. The person opened their mouth and said: "Is human life not worth much?"

After he finished speaking, he casually closed the door of the Qingtan Residence and lifted his leg to walk out into the courtyard

Ask a place, and I will send someone to guide you

It is not for you

Fortunately, the day has finally dawned

In the inner guard camp! By Your Majesty's decree, today at the hour of Chen, there will be no restrictions on dealing with assassins. Those who were on guard last night have all received fifty strokes. Is that settled? Why are you asking such pointless questions

Zhao Qian was filled with anger.

The master has his own reasoning.

He gestured with his hand like a knife and made a cut across his own neck. "To take its place"

When did I permit you to bring people to my residence

Zhang Duo raised his hand to signal the serving maid to withdraw, and walked directly to the tea table in front of the screen to sit down, personally taking a cup. "Here to plead on behalf of your person? So urgent, I haven't even had the chance to ask you about your faults."

Uh ... what? '' And - picture - book

I sincerely do not dare to deceive.

Zhao Qian strode in from the front and sat cross-legged opposite him

The people in the palace

The snow dragon sand at the feet of the old servant sprang up as if granted a reprieve, wagging its tail at the old servant. The old servant looked at Zhang Duo's back and sighed discreetly. He bent down to stroke the dog's head and offered it some dried meat at its mouth.

You ... ...

Having finished speaking, the person had already circled around the west wall

Zhang Duo did not look back, "He is a half-ghost."

Zhao Qian, the leader of the team, has arrived

After a whole night of tossing and turning, he watched as the lively charcoal fire gradually cooled down, while the eastern sky began to glow with a red light. It seemed that he had not slept soundly all night, occasionally twitching, sometimes clenching his fingers tightly in a fit of anger, and after a while, he would dejectedly release them, as if he were having some unpleasant dreams

The door of the Qingtan residence was pushed open, and the snow dragon dog joyfully dashed out, running into the snowy yard, kicking up clouds of clean snow powder. The old servant, who was sweeping the snow in front of the door, set down his broom and took out a piece of dried meat from his sleeve, calling the dog over to eat. The dog happily approached, but just as it was about to open its mouth, it heard footsteps at the door, shrank its neck back, and retreated a few steps, lying down behind the old servant.

What ... ...

Jiang Qin, you have not wronged my father, nor have you wronged me. I took you and your son in because I did not want my father's old friend to end up on the streets. I regarded you as guests, but you chose to be subservient, and I cannot say much about that. However, if you are to be subservient, then you must abide by my rules and must not continue to treat me as an elder. Speak when necessary, and be cautious about what should not be said.

Zhang Tuihan! Do you believe that someone has copied your Western Pavilion!

Where to hit

Killing and saving lives is my own affair; you are a member of the Imperial Guard, capturing people is your duty. There is no need to feel troubled. I am sitting here, you may take your shackles and lock me up. Rest assured, without my word, Jiang Ling would not dare to act against you.

The old servant leaned on the broom and glanced behind Zhang Duo, smiling as he said: "She must be a young lady."

Prince Liu Bi of Jin is in the eastern corner; even if the whip is long enough to reach the palace city of Luoyang, you may evade me, but you cannot evade him

Zhao Qian struck the tea table, causing the cup to overturn and tea to spill all over him. He did not even have time to wipe it off, supporting himself on the tea table with both hands, he raised his voice and said: "Since you are aware of the uncertainty, why do you still keep that woman in your residence?"

"Last night, the one who was blinded by that servant beside you is the nephew of Xu Shang, the Chief of the Guards. This aside, do you truly know what crime the woman you saved has committed?"

I said you ... ...

It is not necessary for you to go through this hardship

Zhao Qian was furious, disregarding any notions of propriety or gratitude, and shouted loudly.

The West Pavilion is a separate garden of the Central Secretariat, interconnected with the western gate of the office. Within it, there are heavy doors and spacious rooms, with arched windows connecting various chambers, and high terraces and fragrant pavilions standing in abundance, offering a change of scenery with every step.

Let's talk about it when we can climb up

Master

Zhang Duo pours tea for himself and drinks it, following the way

Zhang Duo glanced at it, and it hurriedly and obediently shrank behind the old servant.

He looked at the dog, but his words were directed at the old servant

Falsehood

How do I conduct myself in society

Where to strike the fifty staves

Zhang Duo

Who would have thought that the person in front would retort in a flat tone

Zhang Duo lowered his gaze: "It is still unclear."

The tea cup pressed against the eastern corner of the mat, Zhang Duo bent his fingers to tap on the mat and raised his head to say

If you continue to be reckless, get out!

Jiang Ling led him to sit comfortably in the Western Pavilion

Provide some food and water to the people inside, pass it through the window on the west side, and do not look at her with your eyes closed, as she is not presentable. Furthermore, inform Xuanping that there is no need to go in and tidy up for the next ten days

Zhao Qian was taken aback, recalling his graceful demeanor while walking. Suddenly, he reacted, casting a glance at him, and finally his gaze settled on the wrist partially exposed outside the sleeve. The coagulated snow at the wound had turned black, appearing quite gruesome

Did he come alone

The skin is split and the flesh is torn, yet the heart is at ease and the reasoning is sound

Well

Inside, no one dared to respond

Zhao Qian was furious, yet he could no longer confront him directly. He scratched his head and sat down again, desperately suppressing the anger within him, and said in a flattened voice: "I know that woman is with you. I came here alone today because I do not wish to involve you in last night's affair. Hand her over to me, and I will take her back to the court. After that, you and I will have nothing further to do with each other, is that not acceptable?"

As the sound ceased and the wind rose, a snow-white plum blossom fell onto Zhang Duo's shoulder, only to be blown away by the wind moments later, rolling down the stone steps and landing on a dog's face, where it became stuck to the moist tip of its nose. The dog, feeling an itch on its horn, stood up in a daze, extending its tongue in an attempt to lick it off. However, after just a couple of licks, it unexpectedly let out a powerful sneeze that shook its entire body.

As soon as these words were spoken, a sudden sound of cups and dishes being overturned came from behind the door, followed by a rustling sound of fabric brushing against the ground. Zhang Duo turned around, and it seemed that the person inside was aware of the offense, abruptly ceasing all sounds.

Zhao Qian was taken aback by this sudden question

Zhao Qian was surprised, "Is it still insufficient? Which part is lacking?"

He suddenly let out a laugh and raised his eyes to call out his real name

After the night snow, the sky cleared up, and a group of children playing in the snow ran through Tong Tuo Street. Their cheerful laughter passed through the heavy doors, causing a few solitary cold flowers in the elm and poplar forest to fall.

Yes, but this old servant saw that he was accompanied by shackles

Zhang Duo glanced sideways: "The Imperial Guards pursued a woman under the stars last night. Who did she murder in the palace?"

Come, let us eat

Sit properly

Be quiet

Jiang Ling

Zhao Qian shrugged his shoulders: "Regicide. Your Majesty was injured by the short knife concealed in her embrace, and was greatly alarmed. Meixin Lin entered during the second watch and has yet to return. I suspect that the assassination last night was orchestrated by Prince Jin. I fear that Prince Jin has already plotted to..."

At.

Zhang Duo glanced at the shackles on the ground

You, as a person ... ...

The old servant straightened up and looked towards the door. Beside the snow-laden elm, Zhang Duo descended the stone steps, adjusting his collar with one hand.

Zhao Qian was so provoked that his eyebrows stood up, and he half-drank, half-scolded:

The Grand Marshal again ... ...

Zhao Qian had the appearance of having eaten a fly and could not spit it out. With a sudden movement, he stood up and said: "What is the matter with you? Every time you return from visiting your mother at the Grand Marshal's residence, you come back in this disheveled state. If I were truly intent on capturing someone, I would have the Imperial Guards surround your residence!"

Zhang Tuihan! Do not look down on others! It is merely fifty strokes; I am not so desperate as to resort to that bitter thing.

Zhao Qian was taken aback: "Indeed. Who could be pulling the strings behind this?"

Zhang Duo, my life was saved by you, even the head of the organization can be given to you. Are you saying these words because you wish for my life to be shortened? You are currently in a precarious position, and I merely see the danger you are in, fearing that some malevolent forces might harm you. Otherwise, I would have already accepted those fifty strikes by now. Yet here I am, secretly bringing this thing to you.

He did not allow her to speak. Nor did he go to the bed, instead, he lay down behind the table, exposing his back, which had been treated with medicine, to the heat of the charcoal fire, and closed his eyes while hugging his arms. Seeing that his master had fallen asleep, the snow dragon sand lay down quietly with its front legs stretched out, occasionally opening its eyes to glance at Xi Yin. Xi Yin was truly afraid of it, so she wrapped herself in her robe and tried to shrink closer to Zhang Duo, but she did not dare to get too close, fearing that she might accidentally touch the wound on his back.

What has been said is insufficient
