Bai Hong said: "Just wait here, they will come to save us!"

The two stood back to back, fighting back the attacks of the guards who rushed up. The guards began to fire arrows. Although Bai Hong was seriously injured, she had recovered slightly after resting for a moment. In addition, Leng Yi protected her back, so she only needed to use her long sword to shoot in front of her. Leng Yi was a little more relaxed about the arrows that were shot at him. He used a lockbox to cover his lower body. He had a bulletproof vest on his upper body and didn't need to worry about it. He only had to dial the arrow that was shot at his head.

After a while, I saw thick smoke billowing from inside the castle, and then, flames shot into the sky. Then I heard shouts of killing, and screams one after another.

The soldiers who surrounded Leng Yi and the others were immediately in chaos. Soon, most of the soldiers quickly withdrew and went back to defend the lord and other important people.

At this time, more than a dozen people came from the backyard, but they blocked the enemy and rushed in front of Bai Hong and the others. A big man at the head said: "Gang leader, you retreat, we will cut off the rear!"

"Okay!" Bai Hong and Leng Yi quickly rushed to the backyard under the cover of these Baihong organization's killers. There was a carriage parked at the door. The driver was an old man from Misang. There were also two big men from Misang guarding them. They came out, called the gang leader, and immediately raised the car curtains to let them get in.

Bai Hong and Leng Yi got on the carriage, which quickly sped off into the darkness.

Leng Yi whispered: "So, the organization also has people in Misang?"

Bai Hong felt as if she had collapsed. She leaned softly on Leng Yi's shoulder and said nothing.

From time to time, the Missan soldiers were heard asking questions, as if they were checking at the street corner. Then they heard the old man talking in the Missan language. In this way, the carriage stopped and stopped, and there were obstacles along the way, but it was not blocked. Even though I was stopped, no one came to check.

Finally, the carriage arrived at a house and entered the house. It stopped in front of the main house.

The curtain of the car was raised, Leng Yi helped Bai Hong get out of the car, and looked around. It was quiet, except for the old Missang who was driving the car, there was no one else. Even the two Missang killers from before were gone.

Bai Hong whispered: "Help me in!"

Leng Yi helped Bai Hong into the courtyard, and the old man closed the courtyard door. Leng Yi helped Bai Hong into the main room, entered the adjacent bedroom, and asked her to lie down on the bed.

Bai Hong shook his head and did not lie down. He just sat cross-legged on the bed. He reached into his arms, took out a red porcelain bottle, unplugged the stopper, poured out a red pill and stuffed it into his mouth. Leng Yi saw a teapot on the table. .Picked it up, poured a cup, and handed it to Bai Hong. Bai Hong took it and handed the medicine down. Then he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing.

Leng Yi then took off the sniper rifle from his back, disassembled it and put it back into the password box. Then he sat on the stool opposite her. Thinking of the scene just now, it was really thrilling.

After a long time, Bai Hong slowly opened her eyes, looked at Leng Yi, and whispered: "Thank you for saving me."

Leng Yi smiled and said: "You are a very smart person, but you still can't escape the word "love". I can only say that it was the word "love" that hurt you. Otherwise, how could Pu Ziqing hurt you? Okay. Now, this matter is finally over! You can start a new life!"

Bai Hong listened silently for a while, then said: "I'm tired. There is a bed in the study. You can go and rest. It's safe here, don't worry."

Leng Yi came over, helped her lie down, and covered her with a quilt. Seeing the faint sadness in her eyebrows, he knew that although she looked calm as water, in fact, she was in extreme pain inside, so he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart, and he couldn't help but hang on top of her head. A gentle kiss on the hair.

Bai Hong turned her head towards the bed, eyes closed, as indifferent as Guanyin's pure vase.

Leng Yi got up, put down the curtains, carried the password box, left the room, came to the study, and fell asleep on the couch.

The next morning, Leng Yi woke up and saw a letter lying on the bedside. The handwriting was beautiful and it was Bai Hong's handwriting. He quickly opened it and saw that it read: "I'm leaving first, Jiazhen."

I have arranged for someone to pick her up. You rest here for three days. After three days, someone will arrange to send you back to Da Song. Take care."

Leng Yi got up and went to the bedroom. He saw that the door was open and Bai Hong was gone. He hurried to the corridor and the whole yard was quiet.

Could it be that his loving kiss last night scared her away? Or maybe she wanted to find a place to silently lick the pain in her heart?

The old man Misang who drove the carriage last night brought food, all of which were from the Song Dynasty. His cooking skills were very good, but Leng Yi had no appetite at all.

In the afternoon, the old man Missang who drove the carriage brought Jiazhen here. When Jiazhen saw Leng Yi, she was so happy that her eyes were red.

The next three days were spent in peace.

On the fourth day, the old man of Missang drove the carriage and asked Leng Yi and others to get on the carriage and go to the Song Dynasty. The city of Missang was still heavily guarded, but the carriage seemed to have some kind of privileges. Although it was interrogated, it went all the way.

Traveling smoothly, we left Misang City smoothly and headed for the Song Dynasty.

As they approached the border of the Song Dynasty, it rained very frequently, and after they returned to the Song Dynasty, it rained continuously.

On this day, they returned to Yinling City in the midst of heavy rain.

After getting off the bus at the city gate, Leng Yi paid for the old man Missang, but the old man did not stop smiling and drove the carriage back to Missang.

Leng Yi and Jiazhen took the human skin masks, held oil-paper umbrellas, and walked quickly into the city.

The soldiers at the city gate recognized Leng Yi and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, calling him the magistrate.

Because Jiazhen knew that Leng Yi's true identity was the county magistrate, Leng Yi did not shy away from it and took her straight to the Yamen.

Wu Captou was sitting at the door of the class room chatting with the porter and a few servants sitting on the porch. When he saw Leng Yi coming in, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. He quickly got up and came out in the rain. He cupped his fists and said, "Master, can you come back?"

Yes! - Congratulations to the great master! Congratulations to the great master!"

Leng Yi couldn't help but be stunned, put away his umbrella, and then asked: "Why am I so happy?"

"The eldest master has been promoted to general magistrate of Bazhou."

In the early Song Dynasty, in order to prevent the magistrate from having too much power, the post of 'tongpan' was created. The magistrate was directly appointed by the emperor to assist the county government. Orders issued by the magistrate to his subordinates must be signed by the magistrate before they can take effect. The name of the magistrate,

Because all official documents are jointly signed by the magistrate, he is regarded as the second-in-command of the magistrate, and has the power to report directly to the emperor. He is in charge of soldiers and civilians, money and grain, household registration, taxes and servitude, and the hearing of prison cases. Of course, he also makes judgments.

It also needs to be signed by the prefect at the same time to take effect.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, county magistrates were only promoted from the eighth rank, while general magistrates were promoted from the seventh rank. In other words, Leng Yi was promoted unexpectedly this time, jumping two ranks in a row. He couldn't help but feel happy, pretending to be elegant, and said in a long tone.

:"Yeah?"

"Yes! The official transfer order has arrived a few days ago. We have searched all the villages in the county and still can't find you. We are worried about where to look for you."

While they were talking, the officials in the six houses over there got the news and ran out to greet him one by one, including Mr. Dong. Naturally, there were endless flattering words.

Leng Yi waved Master Dong and Chief Qiu to report to him in the second hall in half an hour. Then, he took Jiazhen to the inner house.

Zaoli, who had already had a good job to flatter him, braved the heavy rain and ran to the inner hall at full speed to report the news of Leng Yi's return. Zhuo Qiao Niang took her personal maid Cao Sui and held an umbrella to the door and saw Leng Yi dusty.

, obviously very hard work. With tears in his eyes, he handed the umbrella to Caosui and gave a happy gift: "The official is back!"

Leng Yi stepped forward to hold her hand and said, "Madam, how are you at home?"

"Okay. I'm fine. It's just that there's no news from the official. I'm really worried about you."

Leng Yi saw that she had indeed lost a lot of weight. He must have been worried about him and had trouble sleeping and eating. He said, "I'm sorry, it took a long time to go this time, which made you anxious."

Seeing Zhuo Qiao Niang looking at Jiazhen behind him, she hurriedly introduced her, saying that this was the family of a friend from Bazhou who came to Yin Ling to visit, so he invited her to his home. Zhuo Qiao Niang hurriedly asked her to talk.

It seemed very affectionate.

Several people entered the house, and Zhuo Qiaoniang quickly asked Caosui to prepare hot water for Leng Yi to take a bath.

After the hot water was prepared, Zhuo Qiaoniang personally served Leng Yi to take a bath. She already knew that Leng Yi had been promoted to the magistrate of Bazhou Prefecture, and her husband was a noble wife. Naturally, she was very happy. The two had not seen each other in recent months, and a separation was better than a wedding.

Then we had a nice intimacy.

After washing up, Leng Yi changed into new clothes. He called Zhuo Qiao Niang over, took out the red coral necklace given by Zhuo Ma and put it on Zhuo Qiao Niang's snow-white neck.

Zhuo Qiaoniang looked at him in surprise and said, "Guardian, is this...?"

"When I was in Misang, I did a little favor for a village leader. They gave it to you as a thank you gift to me."

Leng Yi didn't mention Zhuoma because he was worried that Zhuo Qiaoniang would feel uncomfortable. He just briefly told the origin.

Zhuo Qiao Niang was very happy as she held the necklace. She took the diamond-shaped bronze mirror and looked around for a long time. She said to Leng Yi, "My lord, does it look good?"

"Beautiful!" Leng Yi said sincerely, "My wife is naturally beautiful, and with this red coral necklace as a foil, she looks even more beautiful."

Zhuo Qiao Niang's pretty face turned slightly red and she said, "Thank you, sir."

Leng Yi took out the Damaga necklace and handed it to Zhuo Qiaoniang, saying, "The owner of this necklace has been found. They don't want it, so they gave it to us. Keep it."

The reason why Leng Yi said this was because Damaga's relative, the lord's daughter Jiayan, together with her husband, wanted to murder him, and he escaped with a narrow escape. This thing was naturally confiscated to offset his compensation, and there was no need to return it to them.

.But there is no need to explain these to Zhuo Qiaoniang.

Zhuo Qiaoniang was naturally a little surprised: "Why did you give it to us?"

Immediately he said: "I don't care if I have a lot of money, just accept it if I give it away."

"Oh." Zhuo Qiaoniang took the necklace and put it away.

Leng Yi then walked to the second hall holding an umbrella.

Master Dong and Master Qiu were already waiting here. Seeing him come in, they hurriedly smiled and congratulated Leng Yi on his promotion. Master Dong held the imperial order in both hands and handed it to Leng Yi. Leng Yi took it and looked at it. Sure enough, it was like this. Laughing.

He said to Mr. Dong: "This county has not made any outstanding achievements, so why did it get promoted?"

Mr. Dong smiled apologetically and said, "This student has already inquired about it. I heard that it was because Dong Weng was an upright official, loved the people like a son, had remarkable results in improving people's lives, and took effective measures, that he got the attention of the court."

Chief Qiu also said: "Yes! Your Excellency, you have provided disaster relief in winter, rented cattle in spring, stabilized grain prices in summer, and set up permanent warehouses to help people tide over difficulties. These measures are all excellent. Naturally, they have won the love of the people and the court." Appreciated."

Leng Yi's face was cheerful, but he was quite disapproving in his heart. As a county magistrate, disaster relief and other things were what he should have done. This Chang Pingcang initiative is still in the lending stage, and it has not yet reached the stage of profit, and the results are far from good. I can’t see it. Therefore, there must be some other reason for promoting yourself to be an official!

What is the reason?

Leng Yi didn't know. However, he believed that he would know soon.

Sure enough, on the night he returned to Yinling, in the drizzle, a visitor came to his yamen inner house, and it was the person she had been looking forward to for a long time - Cheng Luojie!

When he saw Cheng Luojie, he was sleeping in the house. Suddenly, he heard two soft sounds outside the window. Then, a sound of footsteps went away. The footsteps were very familiar. Leng Yi's heart moved and he looked around him. The sleeping wife Zhuo Qiaoniang glanced at her, got out of bed, gently opened the door, and saw a figure standing by the corner door not far away under the moonlight. The light was dim and could not be seen clearly. But the figure was pretty, and one could tell at a glance. She is a woman, and she is very familiar.

Leng Yi walked over quickly, but the woman floated into the back garden and walked to the bluestone railing under the big locust tree next to the well. Then she stopped, turned around and looked at him, a pair of delicate hands gently twisting her long hair. The braided hair is exactly the beauty Cheng Luojie that others miss day and night!

Leng Yi was overjoyed. He took two steps forward, grabbed her hands, and called out in a low voice: "Jie'er!"

"Brother Yi!" Cheng Luojie jumped into his arms, hugged his neck tightly, and put her sweet red lips on his mouth.

The two kissed passionately, completely forgetting about heaven and earth.

After a long time, Leng Yi let go of Cheng Luojie's mouth and said happily: "Jie'er, weren't you investigating the case in Juzhou? Why are you back again?"

"I miss you!" Cheng Luojie said coquettishly: "Do you miss me?"

"Of course I do!" Leng Yi hugged her and kissed her for a while, and said, "You must come to me if you have something to do, otherwise, you won't have time at this time."

"You guessed it!" Cheng Luojie hugged his neck, twisted her body like a twist, and said: "We have been at Yinling for more than ten days, but we can't find you and no one knows that you have gone. Where. I have to wait here. Fortunately, you are finally back. - By the way, do you know about your promotion?"

"knew."

"Then do you know who promoted you?" Cheng Luojie tilted her head and looked at him with a smile.

Leng Yi's heart moved and he asked, "Did you help me get promoted?"

"What ability do I have? Queen Kaibao personally promoted you. - Do you know why Queen Kaibao promoted you?"
