"He has Hu ancestry and respects Hu Feng in Jizhou. Yuan Tuo said before that he was the person behind the chaos in He and Shouzhou, right? Looking at the scale of the hidden troops in the mountains, it didn't happen overnight. He has been planning for a long time, and he is sure of what he said in Jizhou..." The more Mingyi went on, the more astonished his eyes became, "Could it be said that he actually wants to tear apart the earth and become the king, and take Jizhou... No, he wants to take Anxi from Anxi. Will Dazhou break away?" Xue Lin said nothing and looked back at her with a serious expression. Mingyi knew that she had guessed correctly. For a moment, my heart felt heavy. "Anxi is too far away from the Central Plains. Han and Hu people live together here. How many of the people here still miss the imperial court of the Central Plains?" Mingyi lowered her eyes, her expression gloomy with uncontrollable anxiety. She raised her eyes and saw Xue Lin. On the other hand, An An was eating his rice dumplings with peace of mind, and his eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, "First there were Hezhou and Shou Prefectures, and now there is Jizhou. I wonder if there are any of the fourteen Anxi Prefectures that are not of the same mind as the Governor? " "These three states are enough, otherwise Madam, what do you think I have been doing these past few years? Or am I just a loser in Madam's heart?" Xue Lin raised his eyebrows slightly. Mingyi looked at him, the panic in her heart was inexplicably missing, "The Governor is also a smart man, why didn't he think of a better and faster way?" "What?" Xue Lin seemed to be interested. "Marriage! Since ancient times, hasn't the best alliance between the various forces been marriage? For example, in Jizhou this time, although the governor is Han, if he had married a Hu girl, Jin Changguo might not have switched sides, but he would not have I am so repulsive to you, how can I still treat you as half one of my own?" Mingyi looked at Xue Lin with a smile. Xue Lin saw the sly look in her eyes, like a little fox. He put his tongue on his cheek and hummed, "If I really married a bearded girl back then, Anxi would definitely not be in the same situation as she is now." Mingyi moved forward curiously, "So... did you really have a chance to marry Hu Nu at that time? Which family were you talking about? Who secured the matchmaker for you?" She looked as if she was pregnant with autumn water. Her eyes were full of curiosity now, and she blinked at him. However, Xue Lin felt an inexplicable tightness in her chest and turned to the side, "It didn't work out after all. Otherwise, where would the chance to marry my wife come from?" Not only did he marry her, but he also got angry with her from time to time like this.
"That's such a pity. In fact, even if you are not a Hu girl, marrying a wife from a local wealthy family will make your life a lot easier." Mingyi sighed. As soon as she finished speaking, she felt a cold swipe on her back and turned her head. Look, it wasn't Xue Lin who was staring at her coldly, with a cold light in his eyes, like ice knives. Mingyi quickly apologized and said, "I just said it casually, Governor, you don't have to take it seriously." Xue Lin snorted and turned away, "If it's as you said, and I marry Hu Nu or the wife of a local wealthy family, I may not be able to take the position of Governor." Mingyi was stunned when he heard this. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood what he meant. His assumption of the position of Grand Governor was not only due to his own hard work and accumulation of military merit, but also the result of the struggle between various forces. He was completely on the opposite side of people like Jin Changguo, so the court would support him. The imperial court chose him because of this, but how difficult it is to sit in this position, and how difficult it was for him to open up the current situation. Although Mingyi has not experienced it personally, but after these few days, he has somewhat understood it, and can't help but feel softly in his heart. Sighed. He raised his eyes and frowned, "How many have you eaten so far?" Xue Lin has already eaten two rice dumplings, one sweet and one salty. He obviously prefers the salty ones. He has already picked up another rice dumpling wrapped with navy blue thread and wants to peel it. Mingyi reaches out and pulls the rice dumplings. Only the rice dumplings held it down, "No, I can't eat any more." Xue Lin raised his eyes and looked at her, "Didn't you say you left it for me?" "It's reserved for you, but it's easy to accumulate food. It's already so late. Are you afraid that you won't be able to sleep if you eat it again? Don't eat it. If you want to eat it, it will be the same tomorrow." Mingyi pressed the rice dumpling with an expression on her face. With a rare stubbornness. Xue Lin's hand was still firmly grasping the corner of the rice dumpling, but her eyes were looking at Mingyi, "Madam, are you taking care of me?" "Uh..." Mingyi didn't know how to answer for a moment. Was she not qualified to care? What's more, it's just a rice dumpling. Considering their alliance relationship, her control is indeed a bit too lenient, right? "Okay!" Unexpectedly, Xue Lin quickly let go of her hand before she could answer, "If you don't let me eat, then I won't eat?" Huh? Mingyi looked up at him blankly, and what she saw was his almost gentle expression, "I'll let you take care of it!" Mingyi's heart palpitated, and then she panicked, "Who... who wants to care about you? I don't want to care about you, it's just a rice dumpling. You can eat it if you want. It was left for you. It's just a night It's late, I'm going to bed. If you want to eat, you can eat it in your room. You can eat as many as you like." Mingyi said as she hurriedly picked up the plate with rice dumplings and put it in Xue Lin's arms. Then he pulled the person up and pushed him out of the house. She was very strong, and Xue Lin was pulled up by her without noticing, and was pushed out of the door by her. When he turned around, she blessed him inside the door with all the courtesy, "It's late at night, the governor should be earlier." Settlement." After saying that, he closed the door directly. With her back against the door, Mingyi breathed a long sigh of relief and stretched out her hand to hold down her racing heart. What happened just now?
Outside the door, Xue Lin looked at the tightly closed door, but what he was thinking about was her smooth movements of pulling him up, pushing him out, and then closing the door. He murmured, "You are really strong." When he turned to leave, he suddenly remembered that she had touched his hand when she stuffed the plate into his arms, but she didn't seem to have any other reaction?
This discovery made Xue Lin unable to control the corners of his mouth. He didn't care about the fact that she pushed him out of the door and refused to accept the door. He turned around with the plate of rice dumplings in his hands. When he just walked to the peach tree, he Hearing Xue Tai's voice, "Brother?" Xue Lin raised his head, and before he could put away the smile, he frowned suspiciously and said, "Artai? Didn't I ask you to go home early to spend the holidays with your aunt?" "My mother went to bed early, and it's not like I don't know. I came to have a drink with him, so we can celebrate the festival together." Xue Tai raised his hand and shook the two jars of wine he was carrying. Xue Lin showed the plate in his hand calmly, "Just in time, I still have some rice dumplings here. The sweetness is a bit strange, but the salty taste is pretty good, and they can be used to go with wine!" Xue Tai said he wanted to drink, but he took Xue Lin out of the house and all the way to a forest on the outskirts of the city. Entering the forest, you can hear the sound of the pipa, which is majestic and majestic, but also reveals an indescribable sadness. This is the tone of the pipa, and because of the skill of the player, the tragic and exciting sound has reached a very high level. The person's soul was shaken. Xue Lin's footsteps suddenly stopped when he heard the sound of the pipa, and he looked sideways at Xue Tai. The softness in his eyes was no longer there, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
Xue Tai did not dare to speak, turned slightly pale and lowered his head. Xue Lin didn't say anything, just took steps with a calm expression. There was a shallow stream not far into the forest, and there was a grass pavilion beside the stream. In the pavilion, there was a beauty, who was playing the pipa. As the scale got higher, the strings became tighter and tighter, and her fingertips trembled more and more. The louder the sound, the higher the sound suddenly fades and the music stops abruptly. It makes people feel disappointed, but it feels like it should be like this. Xue Tai clapped his hands vigorously and said, "Great song!" The woman put down her pipa and turned around. The night spread out behind her. Her every frown and smile still contained a bewitching beauty. It was Xian Ge. (End of this chapter)
