Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

In the city of Zhaoye under the night, all sixteen beams of light shone on a snow-white tower. Looking from a distance, the white tower seemed to be a bright light falling from the end of the sky. In an instant, there was music and cheers like the tide of the sea. One after another, the flowers bloom like a brocade, embellishing the city in a look that has never been seen before.

The sea-watching banquet has not yet begun, Zhou Mu Liangpu is standing on the railing, watching the sunset in the sky in the evening wind, a flute sound seems to be floating in the wind, melodious and melodious, complemented by the noisy and lively voices in the distance, Some sentimental passage of time.

The old man's eyes fell on the outside of the city, the mountains merged into the boundless night, and a pale white line could be vaguely seen, which vaguely looked like many years ago.Her old fingertips outlined the rivers she knew so well out of thin air, the three counties of Chenzhou, the waterways criss-crossed, extremely complicated and messy.Generations of people have worked tirelessly on this and worked together to achieve today's scene.

Liang Pu no longer remembers how he took over this burden from his former state shepherd. Now that he thinks about it, he doesn't know when it all started, and he doesn't know how it will end. People think that they have escaped their fate, but they don't know it. Already set foot on the established path.

The intermittent sound of the flute dissipated in the wind, only to see the lonely city walls and the long white water.Now, her path has come to an end.

Due to the sudden flood in Chenzhou this year, there were rumors among the folks that the dragon god sent down heavenly punishment. Rumors spread all over the place for a while, and the Chenzhou government had to advance the sea-watching banquet in order to dispel the rumors.But after that, the frequent disappearance of virgins in Zhaoye City made people panic. The government searched and searched, but they found it in the temple, and arrested the elders of the temple to question them.Those good men and believers knelt in the temple, burning and praying every day.What's more, he directly knelt in front of the government's gate. Unexpectedly, Mr. Liao, the always tactful governor, didn't evade the serious one this time.

At this time, the people were angry, but they didn't expect the twists and turns. This case led to an old case decades ago. The lost virgin was sealed in a clay sculpture enshrining the dragon god and made a living sacrifice. The statue was moved out and smashed under the yellow sun, exposing the gray and damaged human bone bracket, which made all the people present turn pale.The believers who had been clamoring kept silent, and could only watch helplessly as the temple was closed down.And the direction of the civil society has also changed sharply, turning the contradiction to

Affected by this matter, this year's sea-watching banquet is no longer as lively as before. There are many seats vacant on the main stage by the sunset lake. According to the usual practice, those seats were originally reserved for the principals of the seminary and senior believers. Now these When no one was there, Liang Zhoumu ordered the seats to be withdrawn, ordered the state officials to fill in the remaining seats according to their ranks, and ordered the ritual officials to record the matter in the book.

The ceremonial officer hesitated and said: "My lord, the head of the temple and the elders have already decided on the banquet. This is a rule that existed a hundred years ago. If it is recorded in the book, wouldn't it be..."

Liang Pu said softly: "Those who live in this position for a long time may not be able to stay for a long time. The rules always have to be changed, so what if they change once?"

The ceremony official stopped talking, bowed and bowed, then stepped back, and recorded the matter in the book as she said.This stroke erased the temple that had occupied an important position at the Wanghai Banquet for a hundred years.Since then, it is still unknown whether the temple can return to the main stage of the banquet, but there has never been a shortage of people on this high stage, and it is only a matter of one night to come and go.

As the music of welcoming the gods fades, the adults on the high platform have already taken their seats. At this time, a full moon rises from the west, and milky white mist rises from the calm lake, and is gently sent to the stands by the night wind. This year the number of tourists has dropped significantly, but the stands are still overcrowded.There was a flat area where the statue had been placed, and a wooden pole stood alone. A bold cat landed on the pole, and no one chased it away.

Compared with previous years, this year's sea-watching banquet has reduced many cumbersome ceremonies. After the ceremony and music were over, Liang Zhoumu personally lit the twelve sky lanterns on the stage, watched them fly into the endless night sky, and led a group of officials to raise their glasses away. wish.

The servants on the stage presented the food trays, still three bowls and six dishes.And the sound of the flute sounded, piercing the clouds and cracking the stones. In the lingering clouds and mist, Liang Zhoumu was holding the cup, and when it was close to his lips, he suddenly tilted his wrist, and poured all the wine in the cup into the air——

The wine was crystal clear, and when the wind spilled, a bit of translucent blue could be seen faintly.One of the servants' expression changed drastically, he kicked over the table and pulled out his dagger, and stabbed at Liang Pu with the light of the knife, the change happened so fast that the surrounding guards had no time to move.Liang Pu overturned the young couple in front of him and avoided to the side. At the same time, the guards drew their knives and took down the assassin in time. Said: "Don't panic, it's a trivial matter. Order to go on, don't interrupt the banquet."

The thrilling assassination on the high stage seemed to be just a small disturbance, and everyone's attention was focused on the music and dance, and this change did not cause panic.And under the eaves in the distance, several lanterns were suddenly extinguished, and several black shadows passed by at the same time, one of them drew a bow and set an arrow, and the arrow flashed a cold light, pointing directly at the stage!

The fog on the lakeside became more and more dense, and the drum beats came, fast and powerful, and accompanied by the soaring music, they fell heavily on people's hearts.The melody was about to end, and the drumbeats were chasing the end sound reluctantly. Suddenly, a loud bang came from the southwest. The crowd was silent first, and then there was an uproar. The bangs sounded one after another, and even the earth trembled. .

A woman struggled to jump over the guards surrounded on the high platform, and shouted loudly: "Master Zhou Mu, this subordinate is the personal guard of Commander Zhao under Zhou Shuai's command. I have something to see you by Zhou Shuai's most important order!"

The guard beside Liang Pu presented the token in the woman's hand, and Liang Pu waved his hand after identifying the authenticity: "Let her come up."

The guards and officials around took a few steps back, the woman escaped from the guards, staggered a few steps, walked up to her and knelt down and said, "Master Huizhou Mu, the guards of Qiannan County mutinied and blasted the city gate with gunpowder, now They are coming towards Yunzhong County! Zhou Shuai ordered his subordinates to come forward and report to Sir, please sir—”

The guards on the stage finally showed a flaw. The man in black on the roof no longer hesitated, the bow string was tense, and the cold light broke through the quiet night, and went straight to Liang Pu on the stage!

"Protect your lord! There are assassins!"

"Send someone to search quickly, don't let the assassin escape!"

The guards rushed forward, but there was no time to stop them. The woman who was the closest to Liang Pu was the woman who had reported the news. She turned her head when she heard the sound, and happened to meet the arrow, and it hit her right shoulder with a flash of light.

Liang Pu survived, and looked towards the direction of the opposite roof and frowned. Although the woman on the ground was hit by an arrow, she still struggled to get up, looked at her and gasped, "Master Zhou, Shuai Zhou..."

Seeing this, Liang Pu helped the woman who was hit by the arrow with his own hands: "What did Shuai Zhou say?"

The next moment, her pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked down in disbelief——

A short knife pierced it, and blood gushed out immediately, soaking the scarlet official uniform. The woman who was hit by the arrow had dark eyes and whispered in her ear: "Liangzhou Mu, Shen Ge ordered me to tell you that you are here. I've been sitting in my seat for too long, it's time to make way!"

It turned out that what was done just now was just a way to make her let go of her vigilance. Liang Pu covered the wound, but he refused to bend down, his spine was still straight. When the surrounding noises disappeared, she heard the flute sound accompanied by the sound of running water in a trance. The white bird landed by the river, and the hometown was not disturbed by the flood, and it was quiet and peaceful.The spring breeze blows, and it is still the same as it was many years ago.

The road in this mountain is rugged, it is very difficult to walk in the daytime, and it is even more difficult to figure out at night, so I have to move forward with black eyes.Qing Ping lay on Ming Yu Yan's back, up and down up and down, black and white hard to distinguish, as if seeing stars turning around, he couldn't even speak.

Thinking of how she was when she applied the medicine just now, her hand trembled extremely badly, but it was just a small injury, General Ming's face turned pale from fright, as if she was already dead.

Qing Ping thought it was a little funny, but the smile touched the wound on her back, she couldn't laugh immediately, took a breath, broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, and couldn't help but greet Bi Shu in her heart.

Ming Yuyan noticed her movements, and asked considerately: "Master Li, this mountain road is not easy to walk, just bear with it, if the pain is severe, then..." She kept on stepping, her mind was spinning fast, and she burst out One sentence: "Then bite me!"

Hearing the words, Qing Ping finally made a breakthrough, and laughed out loud, accompanied by bursts of pain from the wound on his back, it was simply a joy in bitterness.She smiled and said: "General Ming is wearing soft armor, if I say something, I'm afraid even my teeth will be broken!"

Ming Yuyan also smiled: "People like me in the army can't be compared with adults and scholars. Bleeding is a common occurrence. Who doesn't have some injuries? On the other hand, adults, if there are scars, then it's not good. Great."

Qingping sneered and said: "Isn't it on the back, who can see it?"

Who knows Ming Yuyan but replied solemnly: "Could it be that my lord will not get married in the future?"

Qingping choked for a moment, and would not be able to find anything to refute her for a while.Ming Yuyan's unintentional remarks fell into the ears of Jin Huan who was on the side, making Master Jin feel very guilty, and made up his mind to facilitate this beautiful event for Master Li after returning to Beijing.

Qingping didn't know what she was thinking at all, even if she knew, it would be difficult for my lord to explain this fake Feng Xuhuang.She pinched the roster in her sleeve, but she didn't feel at ease at all, she just felt a little heavy in her heart, and her smile faded.

But thinking about it, Bi Shu spent so much trouble just for this roster, and when she opened the jade box and saw Zhao Yuan's "Qing Jia Yi Zhi", she didn't know what it would look like.

Thinking of this, she felt a little happy again, but it was a pity that she couldn't see Bi Shu's angry look.It's a pity, it's a pity, after all, it's better not to meet this person.For some reason, she suddenly remembered the wooden boat model that Shao Ming sent, could it be...

Suddenly there was a huge booming sound, and fine sand and gravel slid down the trembling mountain, even Ming Yuyan stopped in his tracks.

Qingping followed the direction she was looking at, and saw a ray of flames in the distance, and the sound was continuous, like thunder.

With an ominous premonition, she asked, "What is that?"

Ming Yuyan's throat rolled, a little unbelievable: "Someone is... attacking the city!"
