In the afternoon, outside the Bingzhou Governor's Mansion, a young man wearing a black robe dismounted his horse.

"Grand Governor!"

The attendant quickly came forward to greet him, saluted, took the reins from the young man's hand, and announced the news of Yuan Xiang's arrival.

Cui Jing heard this and strode into the mansion.

Yuan Xiang's flying pigeon letter had been delivered to Cui Jing four days ago. It contained the words "Mr. Chang Lang has successfully escaped from trouble. Please rest assured, the Governor."

After reading it, Cui Jing felt relieved and frowned - since he had written a letter, why not say more, for example... In short, was he afraid that the carrier pigeon would not be able to carry it?

Now I can finally ask in person what I didn't say in the letter.

Hearing the summons from the Grand Governor, Yuan Xiang, who had just prepared to take a bath and change clothes, did not dare to delay for a moment after the journey was dusty. He quickly tied up his belt, grabbed the baggage on the side and hung it on his body, and hurried to see his Grand Governor.

It is a rule developed in the army that when summoned from the top, there should be no delay.

When he came to the outer study, Yuan Xiang saluted and said hurriedly: "Don't worry, Governor, Dali Temple has cleared Mr. Chang Lang... But do you dare to believe that the real murderer is actually Ming Jin, the eldest son of the Ming family!"

Cui Jing: "I have vaguely heard about it."

For such a major event, more than ten days are enough to spread the most important part to Bingzhou.

But these were not what he wanted to hear most.

"The Commander-in-Chief already knows about it." Yuan Xiang smiled in surprise, and then talked about his errand: "I am ashamed to admit to the Commander-in-Chief that I haven't been able to do anything useful when I returned to the capital this time."

Finally hearing what he wanted to hear, the expression on the brows and eyes of the young man sitting in the chair changed silently, and he paid serious attention visibly: "Is this going to be a disservice?"

Yuan Xiang hurriedly said: "Of course it has never happened before!"

"Well, that's good." Cui Jing felt relieved. In front of her, it was normal not to be helpful, or in other words, not to be helpful was to be helpful.

"..." Yuan Xiang was silent for a moment, and then said to justify himself: "My subordinates will remember your instructions carefully and will never dare to make any arbitrary decisions. Everything is arranged by Mrs. Chang. Therefore, although my subordinates have not done any serious help,

But it’s not like nothing was done.”

He then talked about the errands arranged for him by Chang Suining one by one. It seemed like a lot, but Cui Jing felt that it could be roughly classified into two words - running errands.

Yuan Xiang: "Most of Mrs. Chang's plans are in secret, so she doesn't need many manpower... About half of these errands are probably because Mrs. Chang sees that her subordinates have come all the way back, so it's hard to ask them to run all the way in vain.

For the sake of traveling, I assigned them to my subordinates."

Cui Jing was silent for a moment, asking her not to bother.

He couldn't help but ask: "The other half is——?"

Yuan Xiang was a little proud: "The other half of the job was stolen by my subordinates!"

He was very clever and took care of all the errands that needed to be run. This left the two beggars named Xiao Duan Xiao Wu under Mrs. Chang with nothing to do and almost got angry with him.

There is no way, who can say that there is too much monk and too little porridge.

But he is a guest, so he should be allowed to come first!

Cui Jing: "..." You can probably imagine the shortage of errands.

He looked at his subordinates: "Tell me the whole story."

Yuan Xiang was startled - hadn't he already said it once when he was talking about the errand that Mrs. Chang sent him?

Yuan Xiang quickly understood the demeanor of his own Grand Governor... Oh, the Grand Governor didn't want to hear about him as the protagonist!

Yuan Xiang then focused the incident on the Chang family's wife, and explained everything about how she arranged the situation and how she exposed Ming Jin's crimes in front of the scribes in the Confucius Temple.

After saying this vividly, Yuan Xiang's mouth was already dry, but he saw the governor frowning: "She is injured?"

Yuan Xiang nodded.

Although but... what he said was so wonderful and thrilling, but the Grand Governor seemed to only listen to this sentence, right?

Cui Jing asked seriously: "How is the injury? What did the doctor say?"

"Don't worry, Commander-in-Chief, Mrs. Chang's injury is on her arm. The doctor said she only needs to be nursed for a while and she will be fine."

Cui Jing still didn't look relaxed.

Yuan Xiang wished he could go back to just now and cover his mouth. The matter of Mrs. Chang's injury could obviously be omitted. Why did he explain it in such detail?

So Yuan Xiang decided to put it lightly: "...After the incident was completed, Qiao Jijiu took Mrs. Chang to kowtow in front of Confucius to apologize. He said he was worried that Confucius would blame him and make Mrs. Chang stupid later!"

As he said that, he smiled first as a sign of respect.

Cui Jing raised his eyes and looked at his giggling subordinate.

Yuan Xiang's smile froze.

The Governor doesn't think it's funny...does it?

Wait, he still has a life-saving straw!

Yuan Xiang suddenly thought of something and took off the baggage from his shoulders: "By the way, Grand Governor, Mrs. Chang asked her subordinates to bring this to you!"

He quickly untied the baggage and came to Cui Jing holding a wrapped square object.

Cui Jing took it without delay, holding it in one hand and unwrapping the silk with the other.

However, after unraveling layer after layer, he discovered that the object was wrapped in more than seven or eight layers.

Cui Jing had a gentle look on her brows. She was so interested in it, but she didn't know what was inside.

Yuan Xiang smiled "hey" at this time: "These are all specially wrapped by my subordinates... for fear that they will be damaged on the way."

"..." Cui Jing's men paused.

Under the package is a brocade box. When the brocade box is opened, there is a plain purse inside.

Yuan Xiang smiled again: "This brocade box was also found by my subordinates!"

After all, it’s a gift from Mrs. Chang, so it feels like a ritual!

Cui Jing was completely speechless, threw the brocade box aside, and only picked up the purse.

After opening it, a chestnut fell into his hand.

Yuan Xiang's eyes were shocked.

Why is it just a chestnut?

He thought it must be Mrs. Chang's personal note...

It's over, the sense of ceremony is too great, the expectations are too high, the governor may be disappointed!

However, a closer look revealed that he was worrying too much.

The Governor looked at the chestnut with eyes that seemed more affectionate than those of his own son!

Aware of her subordinate's gaze, Cui Jing held the chestnut in her hand and asked, "Has she ever mentioned what her plans will be in the future?"

Is there anything he can do to help?

"Grand Governor, you and Mrs. Chang really have a good understanding of each other!" Yuan Xiang asked with bright eyes: "Before coming, what do you think Mrs. Chang told her subordinates?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After saying this, Yuan Xiang felt speechless for a moment.

The Grand Governor has always disliked other people talking nonsense, such as "guess your guess", "I wonder if I should say it" and the like... The Grand Governor will definitely not answer the conversation!

Just when Yuanxiang was about to bite the bullet and continue speaking on his own, he heard the young man patiently ask: "How did you say it?"

Yuan Xiang was greatly shocked.

How can people have two completely different faces?

After a while, Yuan Xiang recovered from the shock and said with a smile: "Mrs. Chang said that if you ask her about her future plans, she will ask her subordinates to tell you that she plans to take Chang Langjun to leave the capital and wait for her to settle down.

I will write to you when I get down so you don’t have to worry."

Then he said: "Ms. Chang also asked about your injury."

Cui Jing looked at him: "How did you answer?"

Yuan Xiang grinned and said: "My subordinates will naturally say that you are brave and unparalleled. A minor injury is nothing, it is no longer a problem!"

Cui Jing nodded, feeling very satisfied with this answer.

Although his injuries have not fully healed yet, for one thing, he didn't want her to worry, and for another... he thought, no one would refuse to establish a brave enough image in front of the people they care about, right?

However, since she was sure that he was injured, she thought she had met Master Wujue.

I wonder if she and Master Wujue have revealed their identities?

He recalled the scene when he said goodbye at the Tiannv Pagoda that night.

When Cui Jing came out of the study, it was already getting late, and a full moon was hanging on the branches.

He stopped for a moment, looking up at the moon.

When he heard Yuan Xiang talking about the Confucius Temple, he seemed to see in front of his eyes a general who returned victorious single-handedly, covered with blood but also covered with glory.

Yuan Xiang said that many people spontaneously blocked the building for her at that time, and he thought this was the right thing to do.

In this world, there are such "should" people.

Such a "should" person should have the world, not compromise with anyone - he is never a dull person, and because he knows things that others don't know, he can also see the emperor from Yuan Xiang's words
