humble minister

"Okay, okay, don't talk about me, and don't try to change the topic, I really have a question to ask you." Lian Ying rubbed the cup in his hand a few times, and then opened his mouth after thinking. , "Did you encounter any trouble on the way to find Yaoxian? Or is it really your master looking for you?"

Hearing what Lian Ying said, Yao Li frowned, thinking of what he had experienced during this period of time, he understood something, hesitantly said: "I was indeed entangled by a group of people on the way, although they It didn't cause any substantial harm to me, but it made me delay a lot of effort on the way to find Master. But in the end, Master found me, and there was indeed something wrong."

Yao Li paused at this point, as if he was thinking about whether to tell the other party about it, but Lian Ying quickly said: "You don't have to tell me what it is, everyone has their own secrets, right? ?”

"Yes, yes." Yao Li murmured, and then said again, "But Ah Ying, I will tell you everything in the future, and I will not hide it from you again."

Lian Ying took a sip of tea, noncommittal, but thought in his heart that perhaps the group who were haunting Yao Li were the subordinates sent by Borg.

"Were you okay when you came back?" Lian Ying was still a little surprised that Yao Li had taken so long to come back.

"This..." Yao Li murmured for a while, thinking about what he said just now that he should not hide anything from Ah Ying, and now he has to say it even if it is a bit embarrassing, "On the way back, I was unlucky to be entangled by a group of people. Come on, these people seem to be deliberately blocking me and not letting me go back to the capital, but fortunately I met my senior brother in the end, so I was able to come back."

"Luoyi?" Lian Ying didn't bother with the people Yaoli met on the way back, thinking they were from Borg, but he didn't know that they were actually people sent by Shi Yu to deliberately obstruct him. Yi felt very surprised.

"Well, senior brother and the emperor of the Southern Dynasty seem to be out to play. It's really strange. Didn't the emperor just ascend the throne? Aren't they busy?" Yao Li put his hand on his chin and asked suspiciously.

"The country in the Southern Dynasty was taken care of by Luoyi himself and sent to the new emperor. Naturally, the new emperor doesn't need to be busy after he ascends the throne." So many people in Nanchao were dissatisfied with him.But so what about dissatisfaction, their power is still there, and they can only stare blankly.

"Hey, forget it, let's not talk about them." Yao Li waved his hand, and then asked, "Ah Ying, do you have any plans for the future?"

"I plan to travel around first, and after a while, I will go to Qulan Town to visit Yuniang and the others. If they are safe, I can travel around the world with peace of mind."

"Then I will accompany you." Yao Li said earnestly, but this time Lian Ying did not refuse.

A few days later, Lian Ying and Yao Li decided to go to Qulan Town.

Qulan Town is not too far from the capital, so Lian Ying and Yao Li didn't dare to visit Yuniang and the others too blatantly. Originally they planned to just take a look at them from a distance, but they never wanted to hear them along the way. All kinds of rumors.Some of these rumors are true and some are false, some are false and some are true. There are two points that are true. One is that the "traitor" has disappeared in the fire prison, and his life and death are unknown. The other is that the emperor has not taken any action so far. Hunting, I don't know why.

Fortunately, the fact that the queen gave birth to the prince was a joy to congratulate, and the whole country celebrated with joy, so this rumor was gradually diluted by this happy event that spread all over the world, and gradually no one mentioned it anymore.

But no one mentioned it doesn't mean that the people who cared would stop worrying, such as Yuniang and the others, so Lian Ying finally decided to come forward to reassure them in person.

"Why don't you come forward in person, I'll just tell them. After all, it's still risky for you to come forward." Yao Li hurriedly stopped him, he couldn't take the risk of letting the dog emperor have the slightest chance of finding Ah Ying.Although it was rumored that the emperor had done nothing so far, he didn't think that the other party would give up easily, so he exposed it because he knew exactly what kind of feelings and thoughts Shi Yu had for Ah Ying, even though he had scolded him before.

Lian Ying thought for a while, and felt that what Yao Li said was somewhat reasonable, so she wrote a letter and handed it to Yao Li, asking him to hand it over to Yuniang and the others as a way of saying that she was safe.

Yao Li's affairs were handled very well, and when he came back the next day, he brought a reply letter from Yuniang. The letter naturally contained words of careful advice, attention to safety, etc., full of trust and concern , let Lian Ying's heart warm.Even though there are still people who misunderstand him in this world, there are still people who trust him, right?

The thing that should be done is still there, the two of them did not stay in Qulan Town for too long, and unanimously decided to head south.One is because the south is farther away from the capital city of the Northern Dynasty and it is safer, and the other is because the climate in the south is better than that in the north, which is good for the medicine Lianying to take care of his body, so in the end the two chose to go south, maybe they could meet Jian Luoyi them.

After finalizing, the two decided to settle down in Jiangming City in the south for a period of time.

Jiangming City is a small city in the south. Although it is small, it has all kinds of internal organs. Moreover, the city's climate is one of the best in the entire Northern Dynasty. It is warm in winter and cool in summer, making it a very livable town.Lian Ying and the others felt this the moment they stepped here. Although it was winter, the temperature was still acceptable.

It is impossible for two people to live on the silver they carry without doing anything. The money on this body will be spent one day, and the only way to make money is the right way. Fortunately, both of them have " "Craftsmanship" is in the body, not afraid of not making money.

Yao Li used most of the money in his hand to set up a storefront and opened a medical clinic, but he didn't dare to use the name of "Little Yaoxian" to make a name for the medical clinic, after all, if it really became popular, it would be too late. The matter will inevitably spread, and it will be bad if the person in the capital finds out.

"Aying, Aying, what do you think is a better name for this medical clinic?" Yao Li looked at the renovated medical clinic in front of him, and then at the blank plaque on the table, asking for advice.

"Let's call it 'Jishi'. Xuanhu Jishi has a good meaning, and it's not ostentatious. It's a common name, and it's hidden from the world." Lian Ying would say quickly, and then he took Yaoli and handed it to him very clearly. His brush, said with a smile, "You have already decided to ask me to write this plaque."

"Hey, there is such a powerful calligrapher by my side, can I still invite others?" Yao Li smiled, a little treacherous.

"It's fine to help you write, but you have to promise me one thing." Lian Ying put the end of the pen under his chin and smiled.

"What... what's the matter?" Yao Li asked cautiously, cautiously.

Lian Ying licked his lips, hesitated for a while and finally said: "I want to go to Mingde Academy to be a private tutor for a period of time."

"No." Yao Li frowned and directly refused.Just kidding, now Ah Ying's health is still not good, can you let him go out to work?Although teaching is just a mental job, it will still be very tiring if the brain is used too much, it is not as easy as doing physical work.

"Ah Ying, just stay at home and let me take care of you, don't go out to work." Yao Li tried to persuade her, but her gentle tone was very firm.

"Ah Li, I'm fine, I'm not as weak as you think. Besides, I can earn some money when I go to teach. Although the medical center is about to open, I will definitely not earn much money in a short time. There's not much left, so..." Lian Ying opened his mouth to explain, but he didn't say anything more cryptic at this point.

Yao Li didn't know what Lian Ying meant, and he also knew that he didn't say anything to save his face. After all, it's really useless for a man who doesn't even have the ability to "support his family".

"Anyway, no, this matter is not discussed." Even so, Yao Li resolutely refused.

"It's a big deal, just come and see me every day when you are free, and I will take the medicine obediently, and I will never let myself get hurt!" Lian Ying looked straight at Yao Li, and his big blinking eyes were full of tears. He is full of sincerity and sincerity and begs to be believed, but Lian Ying's own "poisonous oath" is convincing enough, after all, Yao Li knows how much the other party hates taking medicine.

"Then... okay." Can you refuse when your loved one is acting like a baby to you?Can you refuse?Of course not.

"But you must pay attention to your body. If you feel uncomfortable, don't do it. Go home and stay well. Also, I will really visit you, especially when you are taking medicine. Absolutely Will stare at you to eat." At the end, Yao Li still pretended to be "vicious" and added a sentence.

"Yes yes yes, I will absolutely listen to you." Lian Ying smiled good-naturedly, but she was muttering in her heart: Anyway, when you get busy in the medical clinic, you won't have time to stare at me.

After making the decision, the two started their respective tasks. Yao Li went to the pharmacy to buy a batch of medicines and then officially opened the business, while Lian Ying packed up and went to Mingde Academy to participate in the assessment to apply for the position of a gentleman.The two people's settlement days in Jiangming City began now.

At the same time, in the palace.

"Everything is arranged?" Shi Yu stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back, looking at the whiteness outside. Although a lot of snow has melted, there is still some savings on the ground, and there is still a lot of snow on the roof. layer.

Li Qing, who was standing not far behind Shi Yu, hesitated, and finally said: "Yes, everything has been arranged."

"That's good." After Shi Yu finished speaking, there was another silence.

After a pause for a while, Li Qing still opened his mouth: "Your Majesty, excuse me for talking too much, is it true that Your Majesty is really going to leave everything in court to find the Lianxiang? Or even...never come back?"

That's right, Shi Yu's preparations during this period were to deal with the big and small affairs of the court and arrange the forces, and then decided to go to find Lian Ying. , but to Empress Duanmu Xiwei, this is also a point that Li Qing and others do not understand.Because Shi Yu acted and confessed as if he would never come back again, and even asked them to assist the queen and the little prince, in order to train the little prince to become the next emperor.

"Li Qing, you are all in pairs, do you still want me to live alone and helpless?" Shi Yu turned around, with a wry smile on his lips.

He made up his mind to do this, didn't he understand long ago that Ah Ying is much more important than the throne and power.And he did this to prove to Duanmu Xiwei that he has the method and determination to accompany Ah Ying to live the life he wants.

"But……"

Li Qing wanted to continue, but was interrupted by Shi Yu: "Li Qing, don't say any more. I didn't hand over the political affairs to the empress. Although she is a woman, she is not bad. You just need to help her. As for the little prince, Shi Yan, I have also handed it over to you, and the queen taught him well, he is the last blood of our division..."

After Shi Yu finished speaking, Li Qing didn't say much. He knew that the other party had made up his mind and he couldn't dissuade him. Besides, he didn't particularly want to dissuade him.

And Shi Yu looked out of the window again, looking south with his deep eyes, his expression uncertain.

Ah Ying, wait for me to find you...
