Lin'an Never Night

Chapter 167: Bright Moon and Spring Breeze
On August 14, the day when the university entrance exam results were announced, Yang Yuan had basically recovered.

He had memorized the A-calendar by heart.

Tomorrow, he will report to the Privy Council, which makes Yang Yuan feel restless and excited.

On the one hand, he could return to Qingshi Lane openly and see Luxi's sweet smile again.

On the other hand, it was because Zhao Yu provided him with an opportunity, which gave him hope of taking revenge on Qin Changjiao.

Although he told Li Shishi that the number of enemies killed did not mean the increase or decrease of hatred.

But in reality, as the killing continued, the hatred in his heart could not help but diminish.

And in the process, his people also calmed down.

He knew that it would not be easy to deal with Qin Changjiao alone.

When Qin Changjiao travels, he is protected by at least fifty experts, both openly and secretly. Even so, he lives a secluded life. How can we get close to him?

There must be many experts in the Qin Mansion, and the security is tight.

Another thing is that he felt that simply killing Qin Changjiao would be a loss.

Qin Changji is already an old man, how many days does he have left to live?
He wanted to take away everything Qin Changjiao wanted to keep, that would be the ultimate revenge.

In the afternoon, Li Shishi slowly came to Yang Yuan's abode and saw the bundle packed at the head of the bed.

As soon as Yang Yuan saw Li Shishi coming, he consciously moved a bamboo chair over for her and then lay down on the bed.

Li Shishi said calmly: "Well! Let's move today's practice to the evening at midnight."

Yang Yuan was stunned: "Why is this?"

Li Shishi said nonchalantly: "The notes I gave you are not complete. In fact... there is one last formula that needs to be passed on orally."

Yang Yuan was deeply moved after hearing this.

He has increasingly felt the power of this technique, which does more than just help heal his injuries.

Yang Yuan has already felt the subtle changes taking place in his body. With time, he believes that his skills will be several times better than they are now.

However, Madam Li actually said that this was not all of the technique, and there was a final, crucial mantra?

Then this Kung Fu is really amazing!

For a moment, Yang Yuan's gratitude towards Li Shishi was beyond words.

He was stunned for a while before he said sincerely: "Madam, you are so kind, Yang Yuan... I really don't know how to repay you!"

Li Shishi smiled and said, "I just admire your courage to fight against injustice. Why should I thank you?"

She turned to leave, but suddenly stopped, but she didn't turn her head back. She just said, "This secret is not to be passed on to others. To prevent it from being leaked, you should wait for me on the meadow by the lake at midnight tonight."

"Yang Yuan obeys your command!"

Yang Yuan quickly clasped his fists to express his gratitude.

When I looked up again, Li Shishi's figure had quietly disappeared.

……

"Erlang, you've recovered very quickly. I thought you'd need to rest for at least another half a month. You're so strong! As strong as an ox. Goose, goose, goose, goose..."

Zhao Yu was lying on the Xiangfei couch, with two pretty maids on his left and right massaging his shoulders, two pretty maids under his knees massaging his legs, and two pretty maids on both sides of the bamboo couch fanning him. He was lying there like an old man, laughing loudly.

Yang Yuan smiled and said, "I have to thank Brother Runfu, otherwise this matter would not have been resolved so smoothly."

Zhao Yu waved his hands and said, "If anyone should thank you, it should be me who should thank you, not you who should thank me."

Zhao Yu sat up and waved his hand. Several beautiful maids bowed and left gracefully.

Zhao Yu's face became more serious, and he said, "I don't know how many people want to eat Qin Changjiao's flesh and drink his blood. Do you think the government doesn't want to deal with him?"

"But, let's not talk about how the Jin people would react if we kill him rashly. Qin Changjiao has been plotting in the court and the country for many years, and he has many followers. If we want to get rid of him, it won't be a simple success just by killing him alone."

Zhao Yu looked at Yang Yuan and said seriously: "I hope that Erlang can take the overall situation into consideration, put personal grudges before national grudges, and act prudently."

Yang Yuan nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I have figured it out now. It is better to take away everything he has than to kill an old man. I will help the court and first deprive him of everything he has stolen, and then take his life!"

Zhao Qu smiled, then slowly lay back on the couch, a lazy expression returning to his face.

"As a member of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, I am ashamed to ask you to do these things. However, I, Zhao Runfu, am such an frivolous person. If you ask me to be serious for even a quarter of an hour, I will not be able to bear it. What can I do?"

Yang Yuan did not answer him because he was not aware that Zhao Qu and Zhao Ai were cooperating with each other.

Therefore, he was not sure whether Zhao Qun was really not interested in the supreme power or was just hiding his ambitions.

Therefore, he could not fully believe what Zhao Yu said.

Is Zhao Yu an idle king, a wise king, or...

At this moment, it is difficult to define.

Zhao Yu asked, "You will report to the Privy Council tomorrow, right?"

"Yes!"

"Okay, come and see me when you have time. We can only talk about love and romance, not state affairs. But I'm afraid you won't have the time by then..."

Zhao Qu sighed and felt that life was so boring.

Even if others have the desire to lie down, they don't have the capital to do so!

It is so difficult for him to find a friend who plays games with others.

……

It is August 14th, and although the moon in the sky is not yet fully round, its bright light is already spreading all over the ground.

It was almost midnight. Yang Yuan, who had just finished bathing, casually tied her wet long hair into a ponytail, put on a light robe, and walked towards the meadow by the lake.

The moon is bright in the sky, casting its light all over the ground, and in the distance you can hear the sound of water gently lapping against the shore.

As his footsteps passed, the chirping of insects near and far became silent. When he passed by, the chirping of insects would still stop for a moment before starting to chirp again.

Yang Yuan chose a spot on the meadow by the lake where the grass was lush and soft and sat down.

Above my head, there is the moon and the stars.

There is the sound of waves nearby.

In the distance, there is an evening breeze.

The fragrance of green grass lingers around me.

Yang Yuan sat down cross-legged, full of anticipation for the meeting tonight.

He waited for a long time and felt that it was almost fifteen minutes past the hour of Hai, but there was still no sign of Li Shishi.

Yang Yuan was a little surprised. He stood up and looked towards the temple.

Under the starlight and moonlight, he saw a graceful figure walking towards him on the grass.

She was wearing a moon-white Taoist robe, and in her hand...it seemed like she was holding a pot of wine?

Although she was still walking, her gait seemed as if she was stepping lightly on the tips of the grass, as graceful as a fairy.

Her long hair was loose, fluttering in the evening breeze, like a demon born under the moon!

……

Li Shishi was holding a tin wine jug. She walked a few steps, then stopped and took a swig.

But when most of the wine was still in the pot, she had already seen Yang Yuan.

When Yang Yuan saw that Li Shishi had finally arrived, he happily took two steps forward and bowed to her as a disciple.

People have saved his life and passed on his skills to him, so he deserves this gift.

"Yang Yuan asks Master Li for guidance."

Li Shishi was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed, her laughter sounded a little strange: "Do you really want someone to teach you?"

"Of course!"

Yang Yuan was a little surprised. Who would miss such a good opportunity?

"Okay, then I will teach you a lot tonight!"

Li Shishi walked to the lake, sat down, and patted the grass beside her: "Come over and talk."

Yang Yuan felt that her expression and behavior tonight were somewhat different from the past, but his desire for magical powers prevented him from thinking too much about it. Instead, he walked over quickly and sat down beside her.

Li Shishi bent her knees, hugged them with her arms, looked at the moon in the sky, then looked at the moon in the water. Suddenly she turned her head and looked at Yang Yuan. Her eyes were very bright, seemingly brighter than the stars in the night sky.

"Do you know what this Kung Fu is?"

"Uh... I only know it's a Taoist internal skill. Madam didn't explain it in detail, so Yang... I'm not really sure."

"Are you... sure you want to learn it thoroughly?"

"Of course!"

"No regrets?"

"Why regret it?"

"So……"

Li Shishi tilted her head back and took a sip of wine, revealing her graceful jawline.

The tin wine jug, the same color as the moon, was placed casually and was supported by the green grass by the lake, leaning on the grass.

Li Shishi stared at Yang Yuan, her slender jade fingers twisted the ribbon around her waist, and gently pulled it...

The robe was spread on the ground, and the beauty sat on it, like a white lotus in the water.

Her long hair that reached down to her waist, along with her slender waist, swayed gracefully in the evening breeze like soft grass in flowing water.

Just one look at it and you'll be startled and fly away.

"lady……"

Before he finished speaking, the lotus flower flowed like a stream of water, and Shishi leaned over.

His lips were kissed by two soft and sweet lips.

……

August 18th is coming soon, and the tide in Qiantang River is extremely turbulent.

The waves are higher than one another, and the raging sea seems to stir up the clouds in the sky and to solidify the entire earth.

However, the sky seems to have no form, yet it is everywhere, embracing everything;
The earth is heavy. No matter how turbulent and vigorous the tide is, it still silently carries the surge of the tide.

It seemed like it didn't take too much time before the violent tide was calmed down by the gentle embrace of heaven and earth.

The chirping of insects, which had been silent for a long time, gradually became active again.

There was a bright moon in the sky, pulling through the thin clouds, just like pulling through a thin summer quilt, quietly covering its cheeks.

A bright moon in the water was pushed by the waves and shattered into thousands of ounces of silver all over the lake.

The green grass by the lake fell down for some reason, and a new moon rose slowly among the falling grass.

Maybe because it was almost the fifteenth, it was round, like a circle drawn with a compass, a standard circle.

The round new moon has a stronger tidal pull!
It brings about a new wave!

Then the anxious lake water rushed onto the shore wave after wave, over and over again, for a long time without stopping.

The sound of insects chirped and then became silent for a long time.
