General, there is a demon [Rebirth]

"Yes!"

Xiao Duo got up and followed the emperor's side, and heard the emperor whispered: "General Xiao, you stay here, so that the monks don't panic, let Zhao Cheng escort me back to the palace."

There was no panic or anger in the leisurely tone.

He stopped and glanced at Xiao Duo, the emperor said indifferently, "Leave the things at your place, it's useless to be left or right."

Xiao Duo frowned slightly and stopped walking, clasped his fists in response: "I obey the order!"

After Sheng Jia left, Jiming Temple was completely under martial law. All the monks were driven to the central courtyard, but they were not tied up.

After Xiao Duo arranged the affairs, he went to the back mountain to look for Huo Changying.

The back mountain is empty.

Xiao Duo frowned, and heard a familiar humming and laughing around him, but he didn't see anyone.

"Hey, don't look for it," Huo Changying showed his figure, "It seems that the emperor's words just now are not... Hey, what is your expression?"

Xiao Duo frowned as he looked at Huo Changying who appeared out of thin air.

"Don't wrinkle, you can catch flies," Huo Changying sneered and knocked on the folding fan in his hand, and explained, "I'm a human or a ghost, but it's just a trick to hide myself."

After thinking about it, he leaned closer and laughed in a low voice: "Could it be that the general thinks that I am a fox fairy in the mountains, who can transform into a woman to seduce your soul?"

Xiao Duo's face darkened instantly.

Huo Changying withdrew his leaning body, and shook the folding fan nonchalantly, "Don't listen to folk rumors, those are unreliable, fox demons don't attract human spirits... Oh, don't go."

Holding back Xiao Duo who couldn't listen anymore, Huo Changying said seriously: "Is the emperor's assassination..." Mouthing two words.

Xiao Duo stared at the thin pink lips that opened and closed in front of him and nodded, presumably this person had been following him just now, and he did not hide it when he saw no one around: "The matter is of great importance, only me and the emperor and Master Jingxin People know."

Huo Changying nodded, and tapped his chin with the folding fan: "You, Xiao Duo, are indeed the emperor's close minister." The destruction of Buddha bones and the false assassination were all carried out secretly by Xiao Duo.

Thinking of the day when the flower demon satirized Xiao Duo on the day they met, she couldn't help but murmured: "No wonder Peony teased you so much."

Seeing that Huo Changying was in a daze and wanted to explain a few words, Xiao Duo felt his wrist tighten, "Anyway, I'm fine now, do you want to see Master Jingyuan's meditation room?" Huo Changying pulled Xiao Duo and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Xiao Duo acquiesced, but did not see Huo Changying's movements. Looking at him strangely, he saw a little pink on the young man's pale face, as if he was ashamed from the cold, but he said solemnly: "General Xiao, as the commander of the imperial army, must be very concerned about the layout of the temple. familiar."

Huo Changying felt a little unnatural in his embarrassment, he was actually a bit... road-crazy.

Xiao Duo stared at Huo Changying, then held the cool hand on his wrist with his backhand, and strode towards Master Jingyuan's meditation room.

Master Jingyuan and Master Jingxin are both brothers, but the meditation room is far away. As the former abbot, Master Jingyuan lives in an independent Buddhist temple away from the monks. Because Master Jingyuan has just passed away, there is no imperial guard guarding the surrounding area.

Huo Changying glanced at the courtyard wall that was as tall as a person. Occasionally, loud voices could be heard, and there was a square street between this wall?Doubt flashed in his eyes.

The two entered the room through the window. It was past noon, and the tall sycamore trees blocked a large area of ​​sunlight.

The room was dim and dark.

The furnishings are simple, with a futon altar, a few beds, and a bookshelf full of Buddhist scriptures.

Huo Changying looked around, and it seemed that it was no different from Master Jingxin's room. He turned around and went to the bookshelf, staring at the wooden box in the corner. The box is so different, it's just...

Feeling inexplicably ominous, he raised his hand to touch the wooden box.

Suddenly, a cold air gradually hit from outside the door.

"General," Huo Changying grabbed Xiao Duo who was inspecting the wall, and said in a low voice vigilantly, "You have demonic aura!"

Xiao Duo glanced at the hand grabbing his cuff, pursed his lips, "Go!" He raised his hand to hug Huo Changying's waist naturally, and turned towards the window with a step forward.

As soon as Fang stepped out of the window, a gust of cold evil spirit hit his face!

There are demons in the pure land of the temple? !

Before he could think too much, Huo Changying opened the folding fan with a "swish", swung away the attacking demonic aura, clamped the yellow talisman in his hand, the spell stirred up wind, and the talisman paper flew out, and the demonic aura was instantly forced back and dispersed.

"--who!"

The guards who were on patrol heard the noise and rushed over.

Not wanting to stay longer, Xiao Duo's expression froze, he hugged Huo Changying's waist, jumped over the wall quickly, and merged into the bustling street with a few steps.

Pingkangfang, an alley.

"Your wontons, just out of the pan, be careful of burning!"

The small lanes and lanes are too narrow for horse-drawn carts to pass through, so ordinary people set up stalls here to make a living.

At this time, Huo Changying was enthusiastically pulling the cold-faced Xiao Duo to sit on the small stall to eat wontons, and chatted with the stall owner's wife, as if he had completely forgotten the strange things he encountered in the temple.

"Ma'am, this wonton tastes really good," Huo Changying took a sip of the soup and praised with a smile, "Even Zheng'er Bajing Tavern can't make it!"

The white and tender wontons are steaming with pink and tender meat filling, and a handful of shallots float in the soup, which is full of fragrance.

The aunt was very happy when she saw that the young lady was lively and handsome, and she liked it very much. She waved the iron spoon in her hand and said, "No, I have been cooking wonton here for many years, auntie. Many dignitaries love this wonton!"

Huo Changying smiled, raised his hand to scoop up the wontons and put them in his mouth. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Duo frowning and staring at him in a daze.

Raising eyebrows teasingly: "This is on the street, even if the general doesn't feed it himself, no one will say that you treat him badly—" Silently mouthed "fiancee".

Xiao Duo's ears turned red when he heard the words, and he frowned as he looked at the steaming wontons in the blue-gray pottery bowl: "I still remember when I was a child, I..."

"Can you remember!"

Huo Changying ate a mouthful of wontons. Seeing Xiao Duo's expression tense, he snorted, "Your bite really hurts!"

Xiao Duo seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and suddenly frowned and asked, "How do you remember?" Milk dolls who are obviously only more than a month old usually don't remember anything.

Huo Changying was stunned for a moment, lowered his head to eat wontons and did not answer.

"Matchmaker Song, where are you going?" The stall owner said hello to the round middle-aged woman, "Would you like a bowl of wontons?"

"No, no, no," Song Matchmaker waved her handkerchief and said sadly, "I'm not an old girl from Liu Ji's shop, so I'm so worried."

"Why," the aunt asked with a smile, "you haven't married yet?"

Matchmaker Song spread her hands, "No! Apart from her, General Xiao is the only matchmaker in Yong'an City."

Huo Changying immediately pricked up his ears, and by the way raised his eyebrows and cast a teasing look at Xiao Duo.

"The Duke of Jin is the 'Ghost Seeing Sorrow'. During the winter solstice a few years ago, Matchmaker Li and Matchmaker Zhang were kicked out, tsk tsk," Song Matchmaker said, frowning and shaking her head, "Stop talking, I have to Hurry up and go."

Huo Changying raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Duo: "It's really a headache for you to look like this." Frowning and shaking his head, he blinked at Xiao Duo, covered his mouth and said in a low voice: "Could it be that the general has something to hide?"

His eyes swept down, and he patted his chest with incomparable righteousness: "What are men afraid of? Tell me and I will ask Master to treat you!"

The author has something to say:

Changying: General, do you have something to hide?

Xiao Duo: Huh?

Immediately threw Chang Ying down, and after a long time, Chang Ying rubbed his waist that was about to fall apart, weeping silently
