As the rooster crowed and the sun rose, the sound of firewood doors opening and closing broke the silence of the night in the village. Farmers yawned and came out of their homes with hoes on their shoulders.

After the ghostly farce subsided, Lu Xun left twelve taels of silver for Ge Sanniang, and stopped staying any longer, leaving the inn with Jingyue and Zhang Huan.

Jingyue was still so happy that he couldn't spend it. He stretched out his hand and pulled Lu Xun's sleeve, and said, "I thought Mr. Lu was so gentle and tender, and he felt pity after hearing Ge Sanniang's complaints. Who would have thought that the money would come to compensate you?" A broken bed?"

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, then pinched Lu Xun's cheek, "Why are you so stingy."

Lu Xun looked displeased, and he patted Jing Yue's hand away, "We have to buy a carriage when we go back to Chang'an, we have to stay at the top of the store, and we have to buy new clothes, which one doesn't cost money? You are generous, and you can give it away if you say ten taels of silver. , if you are so poor that you have no money to eat, you can go to the streets to perform!"

He snorted coldly, and added: "What's more, we didn't hurt them. Didn't you hear her say that the government's taxes are too heavy? To help her, you have to help her from the root."

"Wolf cub has sharp teeth, and you can answer ten sentences if I say one." Jing Yue took Lu Xun into his arms, tilted his head and kissed his forehead lightly, the smile on his face faded a little, as if he was thinking about it. What, after a long while, he said softly: "I understand what you said, aren't we going to help her right now?"

Hearing this, Lu Xun's eyes flickered, and he looked up at Jing Yue.

He had read the original book, and understood what Jing Yue wanted to do as the regent—he wanted to reform, to reshuffle the entire court.

But how can this kind of thing be done by only one person?The Chu Dynasty has gone through more than 300 years since the founding of the country, and the number of civil servants has increased from 3 in the Taizu period to more than [-]. Searching for the wealth of the country as much as possible.

There is no criterion for judging right from wrong, and everything is governed by the "benevolence" in the mouth of the civil servants, which governs the emperor and the people of the Chu Dynasty.

This country has been rotten from the root, but Jing Yue is still trying her best to help Jing Jun protect it, which is tantamount to flying moths to the flame.

He became the enemy of all civil officials, and became the "tyrannical and innocent" prince whom they criticized verbally and in writing.

Lu Xun has always been unwilling to think about such a sad fact. He just wanted to do his best to let Jing Yue escape from the court, but now that Jing Yue told him this clearly, he realized that no matter how much the world slanders, Jing Yue Won't go, can't go.

The blood of the royal family flows through Jing Yue's body, and there is an invisible thing that binds him, teaching him to do more things for the emperor consciously or unconsciously.

Lu Xun pursed his lips. He is a capitalist, and the principle of thinking about problems is naturally to maximize his own interests. However, the indifference and rationality he has cultivated for a long time has gradually changed in getting along with Jing Yue.

Since Jing Yue wanted to "repair the sky", then he made "repair the sky stone". Jing Yue didn't care about the two results of success and fame forever, and defeat for thousands of years. What else did he care about as a dying person.

Thinking of this, Lu Xun sighed almost inaudibly, he stretched out a finger, and poked Jing Yue's forehead, "You are really the Omen star I was destined for, since I followed you, all I do is lose money. .”

"I don't like to hear that." Jing Yue smiled and held Lu Xun's hand, and he said with a straight face on purpose: "It's not a loss to like me."

"Oh, I'm so sorry that I like you." Lu Xun said with a bitter face.

"What's wrong with you? Huh?" Jing Yue squeezed Lu Xun's chin, and said with a smile, "Isn't it enough for you on the bed? Or is your appearance and wealth not good enough for you?"

This sentence made Lu Xun laugh. He smiled lightly and raised his foot to kick Jingyue, "Why do you speak like Wang Xifeng now? I still look rich. I'm not Lin Daiyu, and you are not the second master of Bao. We have no wood and stone before League, nor..."

Speaking of this, he suddenly paused, Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu?One is short-lived and one is infatuated, but he and Jing Yue are somewhat similar.

They were silent, when they suddenly heard Ge Sanniang calling from behind, Lu Xun and Jing Yue turned around, and saw her dragging five or six men's bodies out of the inn, "Master, this is the table at the other table last night. The guests, I thought about selling the two masters to save face, and let them go too."

Those people took Ruanjinsan, and although they were awake now, they still couldn't move their hands and feet. Seeing what the proprietress said, their faces showed joy, and they turned their eyes to look at Lu Xun and the others.

Lu Xun waved his hand to indicate that he understood, then turned around and walked towards the city with Jing Yue.

Ge Sanniang watched their figures drifting away, wiped away tears, and sighed, "Good people, good people are rare these days."

The three of Lu Xun walked into the city through Xuande Gate.

It was just a quarter past the hour, and the shop hadn't opened yet. There were guards on both sides of the street sweeping, and the sound of brooms "swiping" echoed in the quiet alley. "One more drink".

Zhang Huan pulled the burden up and said in a low voice, "My lord, lord, what should we do next?"

Lu Xun said: "Send the greeting card to Yingtian Mansion."

Zhang Huan frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "Ge Sanniang said that Ying Tian Mansion is recruiting heroes of the Jianghu recently, and Lu Xun is most likely in Ying Tian Mansion. If we go there with such a big fanfare, will we startle the snake?"

Lu Xun said: "It's enough to have Zhao Ying in ambush in the dark. If we disguise ourselves and sneak into the snow lotus picking team, I'm worried that Zhao Ying's identity will be exposed."

Speaking of this, he paused, rubbed his fingertips, and continued: "Your Lord Jing is the regent who covers the sky with his hands, and the emperor can't do anything to him. Listen to me, don't be too timid when doing things, What are you afraid of if you get into trouble and have him in your pocket? These few days I've been very aggrieved, I just want to go to Yingtian Mansion to make a fuss."

"..." Zhang Huan forced a smile, didn't dare to answer, and only glanced at Jing Yue quietly.

Jing Yue let out a muffled laugh, looking at Lu Xun with a doting smile in his eyes, he said: "That's right, if something goes wrong, I'm going to take care of you, so you can have a hard time with Mr. Lu."

The three of them lingered in the city for a while, and when all the shops were open, they walked into a restaurant, found a seat by the street, sat down, and ordered small dishes.

Zhang Huan put the burden under the table and went to arrange the invitation.

Lu Xun ate the green bamboo shoots with chopsticks. They were crispy and raw, and he chewed them with his teeth. The sweetness lingered on the tip of his tongue, and Jing Yue sipped his wine.

After a while, there was a commotion outside the door, and dozens of yamen servants rushed in with single knives. The waiter was so frightened that he lost his plate and stood by at a loss, and the shopkeeper turned pale.

After the yamen servants came in, they divided into two teams and stood upright at the side. Then, an official flashed in, wearing a crimson black and silver rhinoceros horn and an official uniform. , Kowtow to see the lord. I didn't know that the lord came to Liaodong, but I taught the lord to send a letter of worship. I really deserve to die, please forgive my sin."

While speaking, dense sweat oozes from his forehead. This King An came too suddenly. When the greeting card was delivered, he was so frightened that he dropped the teacup in his hand.

Yuan Ren raised his sleeves, stained with sweat, and waved his hands. The two government servants who followed followed him with two wooden trays, and when the red silk cloth was lifted, the white ones were silver, and the yellow ones were gold. More than 100 taels.

He said: "I don't know the lord's coming from a lowly position, so I'm not far away to welcome you. I hope the lord can accept it with a smile." As he said that, he winked at the yamen servant standing beside him, and the yamen servant immediately understood and withdrew. Find the shopkeeper's checkout.

Jingyue lifted the lid of the cup, glanced at the silver, and said with a smile: "It seems that the tax money in Liaodong has been collected well this year. This king sees the quality of this silver is very good. When I return to Chang'an, I will set it up in front of the Holy One." Give your lord a good compliment."

Yuan Ren's expression froze, and he blinked slowly. He didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd, so he could only sneer and say: "My lord, my lord is joking about the humble job again... The humble job has been cleaned up. Go to the platform and wait for the prince Xian to drive."

"No need, this king has a place to live." Jing Yue flicked his sleeves, and looked down at Yuan Ren indifferently. The prefect prepares the ledger and brings it."

Yuan Ren's face changed instantly when he said this, and he smiled with the corners of his mouth open: "It's natural, it's natural, I will order you to go down and prepare the details of the account book."

Jingyue squinted his eyes and took a full look at Yuan Ren's expression. He rubbed his fingers on Moyu, then suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile, "Oh, don't worry, Mr. Zhifu. I have heard that there are many precious herbs in Liaodong. I want to keep more of them. Bring some back in a few days."

He slightly raised his hand, motioning Yuan Ren to stand up and not to kneel again, "Your Excellency, prepare slowly, this king has plenty of time to wait for Your Excellency."

"Yes, yes." Yuan Ren climbed up from the ground, nodded repeatedly, took a step forward and bowed to salute: "The humble official has ordered people to set up a banquet at the Bu Er Xuan, just for the sake of the prince, and I hope the prince will give him a face." .”

As he spoke, he took out a gold invitation card from the sleeve and held it respectfully in the palm of his hand.

Jing Yue reached out to take it, opened it and glanced at it, then nodded and said, "Don't worry about it."

Seeing Jing Yue accepting it, Yuan Ren smiled, and said: "What else does the lord need, just ask, so that the humble job can be completed and I can honor you, the lord."

"Go." Jing Yue waved his hand.

Yuan Ren didn't dare to stay, bowed down and kowtowed again, then withdrew and went out.

Lu Xun reached out and took the post from Jing Yue. The peach blossoms were fragrant, and when he opened it, it was a palm-sized portrait of a beauty. Although the portrait was small, the person in the painting was very vivid. Lu Xun just sneered and stared at the tender In a few lines of Ruo Wugu, he said: "My lord is going to sell the golden cave tonight again."

"You also go with me, I see that the girl in that painting is quite beautiful, but her eyes are somewhat similar to yours." Jing Yue said with a smile.

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xun snorted coldly and his face darkened. He threw the post back into Jing Yue's arms, "How special do I think I am, so I'm just like those prostitutes and young men."

Jing Yue was taken aback by Lu Xun's reaction. He thought that the two of them had been together all the way to this day, and these things had long been ignored, so he made a few casual jokes, but he didn't expect Lu Xun to be really angry.

After realizing later that Lu Xun was jealous, Jing Yue secretly cried out that something was wrong, he quickly got up, walked to Lu Xun's side, hugged him from behind, held his hand and greeted his face, "Damn it, I said something wrong, can you hit me?"

"The lord is the treasure in the eyes of the sisters and aunts outside, what if I break it?" Lu Xun withdrew his hand, his expression cold.

Seeing this, Jing Yue leaned over and pressed her cheek against Lu Xun's temple, rubbed it lightly and said, "Don't be annoyed, will I punish myself with three cups?"

Lu Xun ignored him, and raised his hand to push Jingyue, "Is it over after being punished with three cups? The apology is so insincere."

"Hey, I was fascinated by a ghost, and I said the wrong thing for a while. So shameless, don't we both get annoyed, okay?" Jing Yue coaxed, "I know you're jealous, and you're unhappy. Tonight Can you come with me and sit by the side to supervise me?"

Lu Xun looked back at him and said, "What you said to me is like that narrow-minded resentful woman."

He has always been uncomfortable these few days, and he would wake up in pain until the third watch. Maybe it's because his life is approaching. Lu Xun's possessiveness towards Jing Yue is getting stronger day by day. He wants to teach this man everything. Everything belongs to him alone.

The two were quarreling awkwardly when they suddenly heard the sound of horseshoes and boots from outside, and dozens of guards in armor walked into the tavern.
