Perfect Encounter

An Ruochen sat still, lowered her head, and saw the general glaring at her.

"The more you fall, the more you learn." Long Dao said.

An Ruochen blushed. She didn't want to fall on purpose, but she was a little excited. And now that he looked down and saw the general, his excitement grew a little bit bigger. He could actually look down on the general.

An Ruochen glanced at it several times in a row, and couldn't help laughing while watching.

The general's upturned face is really beautiful.

"Sit up straight and smile, or you will really fall." Long Da trained her.

"Not afraid." She was still laughing, if she fell, the general would definitely catch her.

"Won't."

"what?"

"If you fall, I won't pick you up. If you break your leg, you will remember the lesson." Long Da said flatly.

An Ruochen's smile froze, she couldn't help curling her lips, the general was threatening again. Almost forgot the general's preference.

An Ruochen cleared his throat, raised his head and chest, and sat up straight.

Long Da waved his hand and told the groom to step back. He took the reins and led the horse slowly. As soon as the horse moved, An Ruochen swayed on the horse. She tightly gripped the saddle, walked for a while, and then relaxed after getting used to it.

"The battle drum will be yours from now on. Remember to look at it every day and learn to take care of it." Long Da told her, leading the horse.

"Yes."

"Not only do you have to learn how to ride a horse, but you also need to learn how to defend yourself with fists and feet."

"Yes."

"Don't just agree. When I'm not around, you practice very little." Long Da poked at her.

An Ruochen blushed, she didn't have much talent for things like swords, fists and kicks.

"I also asked someone to make a set of bows and arrows for you. You can practice when you have time on weekdays."

An Ruochen nodded vigorously: "If the general needs me to go to the battlefield, I will go!"

Long Da turned his head and glared at her: "Is it making trouble? Are you sent to the battlefield?"

An Ruochen didn't dare to speak back, she was indeed a little too happy to make a slip of the tongue. The general led the horse for her, and she could be so happy for this that her hair turned gray.

"Years ago, the prefect hosted a banquet for important officials and gentry in Pingnan County. You can go with me."

"Okay." An Ruochen replied cheerfully.

Long Da couldn't help but look back at her again, what's the matter with answering him in such a tone of a waiter?

"Boss Fang has gone back to the prefect's mansion in the past two days. You should discuss the manpower arrangement with him in advance. If you need to add some people, you can do so."

An Ruochen nodded, she knew about it, Fang Guanshi told her about it.

"Mr. Min and the spies in the army have not been found yet, so you have to be more careful." Long Dao said, "Mr. Min's appearance has been exposed. In this situation, he has no value in Zhonglan City. If he is mine Spy, I will send him elsewhere and replace him with a new face. This means that he needs to explain clearly the affairs of the city with a new contact person. The big forces in the city should be gone and have to be reorganized, but he There must still be people in the Yamen."

"There are also in the Yamen?"

"It can be placed in the army, so how can the yamen let it go? I discussed this with the prefect, and he didn't think anything suspicious about the people close to him for the time being. It's just that there are merchants in the account books of Zhaofu Restaurant and Jubao Casino. Clues to officials of the Shipping Department. The prefect will first handle the Shipping Department in the near future. I haven’t moved in the past few days because I was looking into the inside. Now the situation is clear, and I will arrest people in the near future.” Long Da turned his head and said to An Ruochen: “ The export of your father's goods did not violate the law, Liu Deli had already completed the formalities, but he did not give the goods to him."

An Ruochen nodded: "It must be Qian Pei's trick to coerce my father into giving him my fourth sister."

"And your father always thought that it was something illegal and treasonous, so he took the goods back. If the Merchant Shipping Department is under strict investigation and Liu Deli is arrested, what will happen to your father?"

"Scared him to death." An Ruochen suddenly thought deeply, she understood what the general meant.

"False accusations are punishable."

Knew it. An Ruochen felt warm in his heart. The general is busy with military affairs, but he is still thinking about her affairs. She nodded, very moved.

Long Da was serious and serious: "I don't care about your housework, you handle it yourself. As long as you don't cause trouble and don't get caught, then I won't protect you."

An Ruochen looked at Long Da's stiff face, couldn't help smiling, then she raised her head and chest, and said loudly: "General, don't worry, I, no, this slave will definitely learn how to protect the general!" It doesn't matter if the general doesn't protect her , she wants to protect him!

Long Da looked at her, his face seemed to be hardened, and he muttered, "It's messing around again."

An Ruochen listened, and said sternly: "It's not fooling around. General, I knew it from the time I entered Ziyun Tower. What the general needs is not a soft and weak woman, what the general needs is someone who can help him. Serving and rewarding him is a man of iron horse. Although I don't have much ability, but I put my heart and work hard, and I will definitely live up to the general's entrustment."

Long Da was angry: "Have you been entrusted to become an iron horse man?"

An Ruochen shook his head and said, "I can't be an iron horse man, but I can be a loyal woman. General, when I grow old, I would like to serve the general." Look at Aunt Lu, who is chivalrous and courageous. Mastery is her role model.

Long Da was silent. After looking at her for a while, he gave her the rein with a blank expression: "Okay, I've led you around twice, will you?"

what! An Ruochen was dumbfounded, she didn't know how to do it, it was two different things to stand on the bottom and lead her while sitting on the top.

"Pinch the horse's belly lightly, let the horse walk slowly, and shake the rein."

An Ruochen complied. The drums didn't respond.

An Ruochen tried again, but the war drum still didn't respond.

An Ruochen thought about it for a while, maybe she has short legs and can't hold her back.

"Is it okay to kick it lightly with your foot?" she asked.

"Try it." Long Da stood with his arms crossed and watched.

try? After the trial, the general who was kicked off by the horse will you take over? An Ruochen didn't dare to ask. The iron horse man is loyal to his mother-in-law, she can do it!

An Ruochen mustered up his courage, gritted his teeth, and kicked with his feet. This time, the battle agitated and he walked up. This sudden departure made An Ruochen almost scream in fright, but after the fright, there was joy. Look, she can ride a horse. But before two steps of joy, the drums of war stopped.

Isn't it right, you just lazily step on the war drum and it's over? An Ruochen gave Long Da an embarrassed look.

Long Da said seriously: "Practice hard." Then he left.

gone! Actually left! An Ruochen was dumbfounded.

How dare she practice when no one is watching her? Is the general punishing her? What did she do wrong? She had just professed her loyalty clearly and affectionately.

At this time, An Ruochen was alone in the small yard in the backyard, and wanted to look back to see where Long Da had gone, but she didn't dare to turn too far, for fear of disturbing the horse and throwing herself off.

Not daring to move, he simply touched the horse's neck: "Zhan Drum, you are a strong iron horse. I am a heroic heroine, and we can be majestic together. Don't worry, I will be taken away when someone comes. Let it go."

War Drum let out a sigh of relief and stepped forward. An Ruochen sighed, did she really do nothing wrong just now? After thinking about it seriously, she felt that she really didn't, she was obviously very sincere and loyal.

At this time, Xie Gang had just returned to the mansion after finishing his work, and came in through the side door on a horse, and saw a horse and a man in the middle of the small school yard not far away.

"Guan An?" Xie Gang recognized it. "What's wrong with her?" Xie Gang didn't hurry to check on An Ruochen, he looked around first, and saw that Lu Zheng and Tian Qing were beside the stables, and Chang Shi Li Mingyu was also there, so he went to ask.

"It seems that General Long is teaching Steward An how to ride a horse." Lu Zheng replied. While answering, he snickered.

"Oh." Xie Gang looked around again, "What about the general?"

As soon as he finished asking, he saw Long Dazheng riding his **** horse out of the stables and galloping towards An Ruochen.

An Ruochen heard the sound of the horse's hooves, and looked back: "General."

"Have you learned it?" Long Da rode up to her. An Ruochen had to look up at him again now. His horse was taller than hers, and so was his man.

What have you learned? She did know how to stand on a horse.

An Ruochen had a bitter face: "Although Zhan Drum has a famous name, he is quite shy and needs to get used to it."

Long Dalou laughed loudly, as soon as he clamped the horse's belly, his horse jumped out, and he rode the horse galloping, jumping and striding around An Ruochen twice.

Xie Gang didn't see it, Lu Zheng and Tian Qing were also stunned, Li Mingyu simply turned his head and left.

Lu Zheng asked: "Master Xie, how old is the general?" Is this situation naughty?

Xie Gang coughed hard, really ashamed to answer for the general.

On An Ruochen's side, she was also in a daze. General, your demonstration is so fast that I can't see it. The main reason is that the general's heroic appearance can't care about observing the movements of the royal horse.

Besides, is this how people are taught to ride horses? An Ruochen feels a little bit being bullied, General, you are kidding me, aren't you?

But the general looked very happy. He rode his horse around her twice. An Ruochen wished he could turn his head around for a week to see enough. The general was happy, and An Ruochen felt that she was also happy. Even being punished to stand still is joy.

Mr. Min took one last look at the letter, and then burned the letter with a candle.

"How?" asked the person sitting across from him.

"My lord has obtained the detailed work list of Great Xiao Yu Nanqin." Mr. Min's expression was not happy.

The person opposite him smiled: "I think the prince will be very dissatisfied with you. You haven't done anything here. So far Long Teng has not sent troops to fight. You have almost wiped out your power in the world, and you are still in hiding. Just Even Da Xiao's detailed work list has to be obtained from the other side of the capital by the prince himself. I am worried about you, how to explain to the prince when I go back."

Mr. Min didn't want to talk to him at all. If he could, he would have killed this person with a knife. It's a pity that he has to rely on him to achieve the great cause. Mr. Min said: "I will finish the last matter before leaving. Someone will take over from me later. I have told him everything that happened here. He will come to you. He will tell you that his surname is Xie." , come to Zhonglan City to do business."

"Okay. I'll entertain him just like I entertain you, and ask him if he can ring."

"He said two bells were enough, and that's right."

Mr. Xie is the code name, which means the person who unleashes the bell. When he first came, he said that a bell was enough. He is the first Mr. Xie, and he is really unconvinced to leave like this. After nearly five years of planning, he has laid the foundation of this city bit by bit, and only he knows the hard work. But now he is fleeing in embarrassment and handing over his achievements to others. When the great cause is completed, he is not the last to win.

Mr. Min gritted his teeth. In addition to completing the things that should be done, he had to make some extra achievements to go back and gain some face to be satisfied.

Mr. Min changed his appearance, put on a beard and gray hair, put on coarse clothes, and went to Jingxin Nunnery.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there are even more pilgrims in quiet temples like Jingxin Temple.

Mr. Min went to the vegetable garden behind the nunnery as usual, and saw two children playing with vegetable worms there. They were not afraid when they saw Mr. Min, and shouted "Old Man" happily. Mr. Min ignored them and was about to go elsewhere when someone called the boy's name, and the two children responded and ran away.

Mr. Min waited, but no one came to the vegetable garden, so he went to the jujube tree, picked up the lantern, stuffed a piece of paper under the candlestick, and hung the lantern up.

Then he listened at the back door, but he didn't hear anything. When he pushed the door, it was locked. He jumped and rolled over into the wall.

He has only been in this backyard once, and he still has an impression of the layout. Everything seems to be the same. Mr. Min walked in while observing, and when he reached the door of the side courtyard, he saw a key.

Mr. Min stopped in his tracks, and was about to bend down to pick it up for a closer look, when someone behind him suddenly said: "The old man went to the wrong place, the front hall is the place to offer incense and pray for blessings. Behind this is the poor nun's residence, no visitors are accepted. .”

Mr. Min stopped his movements and turned around. Seeing Mrs. Jingyuan alone, she said, "It's me."

Master Jingyuan's expression remained unchanged, and she said: "It seems that the old man has not been doing well recently, it's better to leave earlier."

Mr. Min was annoyed, and Mrs. Zhijingyuan satirized his situation. There was a big case in the city, and with his disguise here, she naturally understood.

Mr. Min felt that he was oppressed everywhere, even a dead nun dared to ridicule him like this. He said: "It's better not to be too busy lately, but it's better not to delay the business. Not every pilgrim is as talkative as I am."

Master Jingyuan pointed to the front yard: "Old man, please go back."

Mr. Min lowered his voice and said: "Master, here is a Buddhist place, how can there be playthings such as keys?"

Master Jingyuan replied calmly: "A pilgrim brought a child. You should come in from the back wall, and you should see the child just now. Maybe some child accidentally left it behind. I put it away for them, so as not to come back to look for it." " After saying that, he leaned over and picked up the key, and put it in his sleeve. That face was calm, as if there had never been anything suspicious on the ground.

"Do you have something to hide? Tell me now, and no one will pursue it. Otherwise, it will be different if someone else comes in."

"When someone else comes, let him tell me how different it is."

Mr. Min stared at Mrs. Jingyuan for a while, then turned and left.
