Let Me Pursue You

Chapter 16 – Moved

This little ancestor really dared to say anything, and he was not afraid of spreading it to the ears of saints.

Yuan Cixian spoke dryly, and felt that the ink in his belly was drained, so he turned around and grabbed Lu Shiqing’s hand: “Lu Shilang, do you want to be okay?”

Lu Shiqing dodged for a while, not being touched by her, and said indifferently: “Lu is fine, please return to the mansion first, the county master, I have something to discuss with brother Ling.” After speaking, he glanced at Yuan Yu.

Her heart turned cold in an instant: “Aren’t you trying to be unfavorable to my elder brother?”

Lu Shiqing glanced behind Yuan Yu: “Could it be that General Yuan didn’t bring his troops with him tonight? It might be Lu who will be disadvantaged.”

Yuan Cixian followed his gaze, looked at the dark road ahead, and said to his elder brother: “Brother, you must not bully Minister Lu.”

This is a piece of grass!

Yuan Yu was depressed, and said bitterly: “You girl… Be careful I will pinch your elbow! Go back first, and Picking Branches will be waiting for you not far ahead.”

She curled her lips, turned around and left sullenly, and after walking a few steps, she turned her head and told: “Speak well if you have something to say, don’t fight!”

Both ignored her.

She stood still and said, “I’ll leave after you agree.”

Lu Shiqing and Yuan Yu sighed together, and said in unison: “Got it.”

When she was gone, Yuan Yu said: “Sister She said that Yuan Mou was indiscriminate, so please ask Lu Shilang to explain, Yuan Mou is nice to listen to.”

Lu Shiqing smiled: “General Yuan, what happened tonight, you go back and ask the county magistrate, you may not believe the explanation that Lu said, why bother?”

Yuan Yu choked.

He said indifferently: “General Yuan, I am here, and I want to ask, when do you plan to send the county master back to Yaozhou?”

What’s the matter, is this trying to drive people away?

Yuan Yu frowned: “In what capacity is Lu Shilang now meddling in Yuan’s family affairs? We can live in Chang’an for as long as Ci Xian’ai does, what does it have to do with you?”

Lu Shiqing said silently: “It is true that this matter has nothing to do with Lu, but it is closely related to your Yuan family. Has General Yuan ever heard the saying that ‘one stone can stir up a thousand waves’?”

“The wind and rain outside the mountain forest are precarious, and the tiger ordered the jackal to guard the mountain pass for it to protect the beasts. One day, a wolf cub broke into the tiger’s den. The tiger was afraid of the wolf’s ferociousness, and because it was indispensable to the mountain forest, he let it go. A wolf cub is playing in it, eating and drinking for it.”

“But wolves are wolves, and tigers are tigers. How do you know that the seemingly kind-hearted tiger is thinking of holding the wolf cub firmly in the palm of his hand, so as to avoid the threat that jackals and beasts will drag him down from the throne one day? How do you know that the beasts are not thinking in their hearts, trying their best to please this wolf cub, so that the jackal’s minions can be used for themselves, so as to tear their tigers apart?”

Yuan Yu’s expression flickered.

“This is a dangerous mountain forest, a world where beasts are fighting, hungry leopards and eagles, surrounded by enemies… Dealing with tigers is not what this innocent wolf cub should do.”

He paused at this point, then nodded towards Yuanyu: “That’s all for Lu, let me leave.”

After Lu Shiqing finished speaking, he got back on his horse, pulled the reins, and was about to whip away, but Yuan Yu jumped into a rage and said, “What a tiger, what a jackal! Lu Zishu, you have a lot of tongue, and you have been talking for a long time because you dislike us. I didn’t agree with you two, but now it seems…” He rolled his sleeves, “I really don’t believe that my Yuan family can’t deal with you, and I will beat you as my brother-in-law!”

“…”

Why is it so difficult to communicate with the Yuan family? Is his metaphor too subtle?

Lu Shiqing saw that he looked like he was about to rush up and beat her violently, so he quickly stopped him with a gesture: “General Yuan, what did you promise the county magistrate just now? If you and I can’t live in harmony, it may make her sad.”

Yuan Yu’s footsteps faltered, his lips pursed, and he waved his hand to signal him to go: “Let’s let you go tonight, see you another day, if you still ignore Ci Xian’s love, you must eat my fist!”

…

It was already late at night when Lu Shiqing returned to the mansion. After he had bathed thoroughly and treated the wound, it was almost dawn, so he simply didn’t sleep. After getting dressed, he boarded the carriage and went to Daming Palace.

It was early when he arrived at the Zichen Palace, and after sending a report, he learned that Emperor Huining was discussing matters with Shangshu Zuopushe Zhang Zhixian, so he stood outside the palace and waited.

The sun breaks through the clouds, and the golden light shines everywhere. His slender figure was cast on the white marble steps at his feet, with an eleven-gold gold jade belt pinching his waist, shining brilliantly under the sun. If there is any incongruity, I am afraid it is the pale gauze around the back of the right hand.

When he was bandaging himself earlier, he even thought about applying the same bandage to his left hand, but he finally held back.

Lu Shiqing waited for a long time, but seeing that Zhang Zhi came out first, he lowered his head slightly, glanced at the hand, and frowned slightly.

He was out of control last night. He is Zheng Zhuo’s counselor, if he hadn’t been moved by this whip, he would never have said that to Yuan Yu.

After a stick of incense, an old man in purple official robes with half-white hair and beard came out of the hall. It was Zhang Zhixian.

Lu Shiqing came back to his senses, raised his eyes slightly, and stepped forward: “I have seen Zhang Pushe.”

Zhang Zhixian was one of the prime ministers who really held the real power in the court, with the body of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and the name of Tongping Zhangshi. He stroked his beard: “Lu Shilang has been up and coming for a long time, he is diligent and prudent, he is my great talent.”

Lu Shiqing nodded and said: “In terms of this horoscope, the lower official is not as good as you, let alone a saint.”

Zhang Zhixian smiled “hehe”, and walked away with his eyes narrowed. When he passed by him, he paused, tilted his head and said in a low voice: “The word “Qin” is a good story, but Mr. Lu must not make a mistake.”

Lu Shiqing turned around, faced him and continued to nod his head: “Your Majesty, remember Zhang Pushe’s teachings, and you must follow Zhang Pushe’s way in the future.”

Zhang Zhixian stopped walking, his beards trembled, and he turned to stare at him angrily. The ignorant boy, but he just became a servant of the door, so he falsely claimed that he would follow the way of the minister in the future, and he would still be in front of this Zichen hall, what a big tone!

Lu Shiqing continued to laugh: “Zhang Pushe is old, please walk slowly all the way and be careful on your feet. Da Zhou and the saint can’t do without you.” After speaking, he saluted solemnly and completely drove him away.

Emperor Huining announced Lu Shiqing into the palace, and asked with a smile when he saw people, “Did Lu Shilang argue with Zhang Pushe just now?”

Lu Shiqing saluted him and replied: “Your servant is terrified, how dare you disrespect Zhang Pushe.”

Emperor Hui Ning wanted to joke, but when he raised his eyes to see his saluting hand, he was surprised: “This hand of Minister Lu…?”

Before he could answer, an **** hurried into the palace, leaned into Emperor Huining’s ear and whispered: “Everyone, there is news from the Yuan family.”

Emperor Huining glanced at Lu Shiqing, said without suppressing his voice, “Speaking bluntly, Zi Shu is not an outsider.”

The **** straightened his back slightly: “Everyone, spies came to report that General Yuan sent Lancang County Lord out of the city overnight, and the direction should be to Yaozhou.”

Emperor Huining was a little surprised, raised his eyebrows and asked in a low voice, “Do you know why?”

The **** couldn’t answer: “This, the spies didn’t say…”

Lu Shiqing blinked lightly, then suddenly cupped his hands and stepped forward: “Your Majesty, I know.”

Emperor Huining signaled him to speak.

Lu Shiqing said calmly word by word: “Yesterday, under the order of His Majesty, I went out with the Lord Lancang County. I happened to see clues in the Jinxiu Village of Xishi. After tracking them, I found a suspicious Uighur merchant in the outskirts of Chang’an City. Team. Unexpectedly, the county lord entangled the minister tightly, and followed her all the way quietly. Because of the situation at the time, the minister had no choice but to advance and retreat with her, and it would be the second half of the night before she escaped.”

“General Yuan didn’t wait for the county lord to return to the mansion late at night, and went out of the city to look for it in anxiety. When he saw the minister and the county lord, he misunderstood him, lost his temper, and quarreled with the minister. The county lord blindly protected the minister, which made him very angry. Light. I think that the reason why General Yuan ordered her to go back to Yaozhou is because of discord with him, and he doesn’t want her to be involved with him again.”

After hearing this, Emperor Huining was taken aback, and then laughed loudly: “Everyone is young and energetic! So, your injury, could it be that child Shichen did it?”

Lu Shiqing nodded: “Exactly, it makes you laugh.”

Emperor Hui Ning was good at pointing at him: “I just want to keep Cixian under my nose and watch, but you are lucky, and Shichen was sent back! Tell me, what should I do now?”

He was silent for a long time before he said: “Your Majesty is here to deal with you if you are guilty of the crime.”

Look at his reluctance, it doesn’t look like he has been convicted.

Emperor Huining thought for a moment, and asked the eunuch, “Where is the man?”

“Everyone, I heard that you just left the city.”

He nodded, and said to Lu Shiqing: “You are also an unintentional mistake, so you can avoid being punished. If you are guilty and meritorious, just welcome the county master back.”
