Chapter 21: Chess Pieces (2)
Everyone in the cafeteria had been waiting for a long time, and everyone looked at the two of them with a smile. Although Duan Caiyan seemed a little jealous in her eyes, wasn’t Xiao Xiao’s encouragement because of her own today? She is not a petty woman, and she is somewhat expectant in her loss. When she goes back, it’s probably her turn, so she doesn’t need to be jealous.
Cheng Xiuyun and Yun Niang are experienced people. They could see at a glance that Changfeng had developed an intimate relationship with Xiao Xiao. Cheng Xiuyun was a little unhappy. Why did Cao Ruifeng find such a fickle husband and still devoted herself? I really don’t know what he is good about? But his face was not revealed, but just smiled. Yun Niang looked at Changfeng with a smile on her face, and then turned to smile at her daughter with a profound meaning. Lin'er, who was in the dust, immediately understood her mother's smile. Her face was already embarrassed, and she immediately covered in red and lowered her head shyly.
Changfeng pulled Xiao Xiao to sit beside him, and Xiao Xiao was even more ashamed. Changfeng had nothing to do. He sat down with a normal expression and greeted everyone: "Everyone have a meal."
This meal was very happy, especially Xiao Xiao's heart was sweet and warm. Changfeng did not despise her because she was born in a brothel, but instead was gentle and considerate to her. Her heart would always be tied to Changfeng.
During the meal, Changfeng announced that he would leave the capital and return to Xindao in a few days. Duan Caiyan was very happy. Yun Niang and his daughter didn't want to stay in the capital. They agreed with Changfeng's decision. Cheng Xiuyun was a little worried. Her pleasure boats were all in the capital, and Yanhu Lake is frozen now and she can't go back now. Maybe she was going to stay. The capital is so complicated that she might not be able to handle it alone. She worried: "Feng'er, what are you going to arrange the matter in the capital?"
Changfeng thought for a while and said, "I plan to let Guo Huai stay. He is smart and cunning like a fox. With him helping you in Beijing, I believe there should be no problem."
When Cheng Xiuyun heard that Changfeng kept Guo Huai to help her, she felt much more relieved. She had seen Guo Huai's smart talent these days in the capital. She arranged the entire Cao Mansion's guard arrangements by her, and it was simply described as a dragon and tiger den. People outside had no chance to come in and said, "I will feel relieved with Mr. Guo's help."
However, although Changfeng said this, he had to listen to his own opinions. So after he finished his meal, he first told Xiao Xiao to go back to his room to rest, and then returned to his study and asked someone to call Guo Huai over.
Guo Huai walked into Changfeng's study with a smile and said, "Lord, congratulations."
Changfeng knew what he meant, and his face turned red slightly, saying, "I know everything you want to say. I'm not here to listen to you."
Seeing Changfeng's face was serious and knew that there was something important to talk to him, Guo Huai put away his heart and said seriously: "I know my subordinates are guilty. Please tell me."
Changfeng said to him solemnly: "You know I have decided to go back to Xindao, but no one can take care of the matter in the capital. Therefore, I must leave someone to take care of here. Who are you suitable to see?"
Guo Huai knew what he meant when he heard Changfeng ask this. Now Niu Gao is impulsive among all the people in the Cao Mansion in Beijing. The rest are not capable enough. Only he and Jia Da can stand alone, and Du Xiang can do it. However, he is never a person from the river. He can't figure out the minds of smart people, so he is not reliable. Moreover, Du Xiang is still trapped in love and may not be too focused, so he can't do it either. Jia Da is too young, small things are OK, but big things are hard to make up his mind, so he is the only candidate. Changfeng asks him to discuss it, and he has a candidate in his heart, and this person is himself, so he said clearly: "The lord has already chosen someone in his heart, so why bother to ask Guo Huai again?"
Changfeng wanted him to ask him to keep it. After hearing what he said, he knew that his intention was discovered by Guo Huai. He smiled and said, "Yes, I have a choice in my heart, but I don't know what he meant?"
Guo Huai smiled and said, "Actually, everyone is doing things for the lord, and they are all subordinates of the lord. Naturally, the lord's orders will not be disobeyed."
"That's good, that's good." Changfeng said, "Let's do this, you have guessed the candidate, so just ask for me."
"Yes, lord." Guo Huai replied.
"Do you want those people to stay and help you?" Changfeng asked with his eyes raised.
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent.
The two discussed carefully. Jia Da wanted to stay, and he still had to deal with trivial matters. Two people were left in the five guards, Yuan Hu and the others basically left behind. Except for a few smart and clever women who served the girls on the way, the rest were also left, and the others followed them back.
"Brother Changfeng is really leaving?" Du Xiang heard the news and hurried over to find Changfeng to verify.
"Why, Brother Du can't bear to leave Changfeng?" Changfeng looked at Du Xiang with a smile on his face and said.
Du Xiang sat down in front of Changfeng and said, "Du Xiang and Brother Changfeng fell into old ways at first sight. Then he thought that Brother Changfeng would leave in less than a few months, and he would like to ask more advice!"
Changfeng smiled and said, "Brother Du understands his intentions, but Changfeng has to leave now. Please forgive me, Brother Du."
Du Xiang said with a gloomy face: "Since Changfeng said so, Du Xiang is embarrassed to force you to keep it."
Changfeng was also a little reluctant. He also troubled Du Xiang a lot. They admired both sides' talents and thought about each other. They thought of each other and said, "If Brother Du doesn't dislike it, how about going to Xindao with Changfeng?"
When Du Xiang heard this, he was happy at first, but his face soon darkened and said, "As for Brother Changfeng's invitation, Du Xiang should not refuse, but Du Xiang now..." As he said that, Du Xiang's face suddenly turned red.
Changfeng didn't know what Du Xiang was thinking, and knew that his invitation was a bit presumptuous, and he smiled embarrassedly: "Changfeng understands, Changfeng understands, okay, Changfeng won't force Brother Du."
Du Xiang blushed even more and hesitated and couldn't speak.
Changfeng knew that he was embarrassed and was embarrassed to say it clearly, so he had to chat for a few words and send him out, leaving him alone in the study to meditate.
I didn't notice that there was a beauty around me. The beauty brought him tea. When she put down the tea tray, the sound of knocking on the desk awakened Changfeng from her thoughts. When she looked up, her face suddenly became happy and said with concern: "Xiao Xiao is you, didn't you give you a little more rest? Why did you run over?"
Xiao Xiao's face was a little unnatural, but her love for love made her forget the pain in her body. Her originally cold face was covered with red clouds, and she said shyly: "Xiao Xiao is fine, husband, don't worry."
Changfeng took her hand and sat beside him, and hugged Xiao Xiao in his arms lovingly and said, "I, Changfeng, can have you confidants, and I am satisfied in this life."
Xiao Xiao snuggled obediently in Changfeng's arms and said, "Xiao Xiao feels so happy now."
Changfeng gently patted Xiao Xiao's shoulders and said, "Would you like to go to your room tonight?"
When Xiao Xiao heard this, he looked shocked and jumped out of Changfeng's arms, causing the pain in his lower body, "Ouch!" and shouted out.
Changfeng was unreasonable and said anxiously: "What's wrong? Where is it uncomfortable?"
Xiao Xiao became even more shy and didn't know what to say. Could it be that she could not bear Changfeng's favor tonight and didn't want Changfeng to go to her room? She asked her to say what she said, but she didn't know how to speak to Changfeng.
Changfeng saw that her face turned red and looked very embarrassed. He knew that she had thought wrongly, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Xiao, what you mean by being a husband is not what you think."
It doesn't mean that, or what does it mean? Xiao Xiao muttered in his heart, and didn't know how to speak, and he completely forgot the pain under him. If Changfeng hadn't held her hand, he would have run away shyly.
However, in the end, Xiao Xiao misinterpreted Changfeng's meaning. Fortunately, Changfeng stopped his mouth in time, otherwise the more he explained, the more he would be more chaotic.
However, that night, Changfeng still went to Xiao Xiao's room. It was just a night of warmth and did not really move Xiao Xiao a little. This made Xiao Xiao feel ashamed and ashamed when he misunderstood Changfeng's meaning during the day. At the same time, he felt sweet about Changfeng's consideration and slowly fell asleep with Changfeng.
The heavy snowfalls in succession not only eliminated a lot of tension in the city, but also caused a lot of noise to arrest Lian Teng and the prison-hijacking person. It may have become loose on the outside and tight on the inside, but it also delayed Changfeng and others' schedule to leave the capital. Although they were ready, they could only leave when the snow stopped.
I don’t know what method Ouyang Zhen used to transfer Li Qing and Fang Hao. Shi Quan lost the secret protection of the two masters, so he naturally encountered a wall everywhere. First, all the evidence collected with great effort disappeared one night. Then the county magistrate officials also made things difficult for all, and Shi Quan could not find any evidence at all. Moreover, they had been operating in the local area for many years and were deeply rooted. A mere Shi Quan wanted to find out the evidence of their embezzlement of disaster relief funds in a few months. Moreover, he didn’t know how to adapt, and he was a stubborn donkey and hit the definite thing in one head. As a result, he was bleeding and ended up being accused of a meritorious minister of the court. Fortunately, he was a censor. In the end, Dugu Tianpeng was merciless and removed his official position and never used it.
Finally, the heavy snow stopped. Changfeng took the girls, Yun Niang and others to leave the capital and walk the mountain to the way home.
