Hot as China, cold as snow

Above ten rights, what else is left besides scheming?

People are not the only ones who are loyal, sometimes animals are more loyal than people.A white pigeon flew out of the courtyard, over the tall branches and the eaves of the red carved dragon, and flew into the distance.

Standing outside the house, the iron mask with a black mask said coldly: "Stop it." Ye Xuan flashed out from the shadow, leaving only a string of shadows in the air. I don't know what he threw out and hit the impending Carrier pigeons flying into the sky.The carrier pigeon flapped its wings and fell, Ye Xuan casually picked it up, handed it over respectfully, and then disappeared.

Tie Mian picked it up casually, and only then did he see a curved willow leaf stuck to the pigeon's body. He unwrapped the letter tied to the pigeon's body. On it were just a few simple words of safety, just an ordinary letter from home, signed by Mr. Lanling Liu.Tie Mian narrowed his eyes, folded the letter paper, tied it back to the pigeon's leg, and let it fly.

"Yexuan, find you and tell me."

Ye Xuan stood upright and stood aside: "Mr. Liu, a disciple of Taoshan people from Lingzhou, is called Mr. Liu of Lanling because of the different color of his hair and tail."

"Really? There is no other identity, which means it is credible. What about the other thing I asked you to investigate?" Tie Mian half-closed his eyes.

"That one, has been living a peaceful and prosperous life just as the master thought. Ten years ago, shortly after the master returned to the Suoming Building, a fire broke out in the Imperial Palace of Chengtian Empire. It is said that that one was injured and left behind. After becoming disabled, he stayed in Rongwang Mansion and never went out. But he can be sure that he lived a good life. During the investigation, it was strange that someone obstructed the investigation and deliberately covered up the information."

Tie Mian nodded to show he knew, looked into the distance with unfocused eyes, and waved his hand.Ye Xuan stepped back and disappeared.

Tie Mian then slowly walked to the door of the guest room. From a distance, he could hear the sound of slapping pieces coming from the room. When he entered the room, he saw Mr. Lanling Liu sitting there, holding a gold and bronze chess piece in his hand. Lazie.Tie Mian looked up, and shouted good from afar, and said: "A horse stepping on the slanting sun is like flying a field cannon, knocking down a pheasant, walking hanging, a pawn crossing the river, rushing into the elephant, and the elephant is not far away from the old commander. Why are you so idle today? Love, let’s play chess?” Said and sat down on his own.

"Didn't I always be idle all day when I was with you? Someone guarded the door, and someone followed wherever I went. I was really taken care of by you." Mr. Lanling Liu didn't raise his eyes, but just looked at the chess pieces in his hand. on the chessboard.Tie Mian didn't care about it, and took the horse on the chessboard and said: "You must learn to be a scholar and a bishop, and you must be able to be a master; pawns move forward, don't talk back; you must learn to drive straight, not like a horse. It should be like this. Let's go." Mr. Liu stretched out his hand to hold Tie Mian Nazi's hand, and looked directly at him: "It's time to rein in the precipice!"

Tie Mian threw him away, looked into his eyes, and said in a cold tone, "You know too much."

Mr. Lanling Liu smiled, shook his head and said, "I have sent six family letters in the past month, but you have blocked them all. It's just a family letter, so why be so cautious. I know you have a big heart and big ambitions, otherwise you won't I would take such a big risk to get the purple jade card that is not sure." 'Pa' the iron face fell silent, but Young Master Liu put down the chess piece: "You have kept me here as a guest for more than a month. My excuse is to recuperate from my injury, and my injury has healed, but I did not propose to leave, because I know you will not let me leave easily, because I am worried that the news that the Ziyu card is in your hand will spread."

Young Master Liu was unable to move around before, and Ye Xie, the maid who took care of him while he was recuperating, was transferred away under the pretext.Tie Mian considered that Ye Zai was cheerful, unscheming, and straightforward, and this was an urgent moment, so he transferred Ye Zai back to him and was only in charge of the kitchen.

Tie Mian rubbed the old general's chess piece in his hand: "37 days ago, the fog on Mount Xutu cleared, and there was no barrier to entry and exit. People from all walks of life who heard the news gathered at Mount Xutu. Some people went up the mountain to see that there was nothing left There is no one in the house. The cave we went to collapsed, like an earthquake, and no strange beasts were found. No one knows where all the people from the Qu family in Xutu Mountain Villa have gone."

"You want to say that you are not afraid that I will leak the news. Who would believe it? It's not bad to deceive a three-year-old child. I'm here with you. I'm a hot potato. You want to kill me, but I have been in the arena all these years. But you can’t kill him.” Mr. Lanling Liu returned and picked up the chess piece, put it in the box, and said unhurriedly: “So you want me to help you.”

"Smart, are you going to help or not? Duominglou has never been afraid of blood."

Mr. Lanling Liu raised his eyebrows: "Is there any harm in helping you?"

"No."

"Is it any good?"

"No, but you can make a name for yourself again. This can be regarded as a good thing to follow God's will and benefit the people. Except for some involvement with the government, the rest is in line with your usual style of doing things, and they are all for the benefit of the people."

Mr. Liu's white fingers curled the tip of his light blue hair, and he took a long time to curl his hair into a circle before he said, "If I help you, how can you thank me?"

Tie Mian leaned forward slightly: "I never thought that Mr. Liu, a disciple of Taoshan people in Lingzhou, who is praised by everyone in the world, is also a villain who wants to benefit. If this spreads, no one will believe it."

"I'm really grateful for the praise. As the old saying goes, people don't kill themselves. What's more, I'm just a person, and I can't be a sage." Mr. Liu stretched out two fingers leisurely to play with the ends of his light blue hair.

"But I remember that you owe me your life." Tie Mian lowered his voice and after finishing speaking, he fixedly glanced at Mr. Liu, then got up and left without looking back, leaving only a handsome back.Mr. Liu sat on the seat and showed a lonely smile: "You are so confident that I will help you? Well, if you pay back the favor, there will be nothing more to do."

There was a slight noise, and Mr. Liu raised his ears alertly to avoid it. A folded piece of black and white paper was nailed to the window frame from the outside along his direction, and a sharp cut was made on the wooden window frame. A neat trace.Mr. Liu took out the paper and looked at it. It was full of densely written words, each of which was full of chic, majestic, full-bodied, and iron-faced.Mr. Liu thought for a while, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table, followed suit, folded it, walked outside the door, and threw it out.

A figure outside the door flashed, cutting off the black and white writing flying in mid-air.Mr. Liu went back to the room and opened the window, the door was wide open, and the chess game was set up again by himself.It didn't take long before he heard the movement again, and he pricked up his ears to identify who was outside the door.After the sound of the wind passed, he caught the folded white paper with two fingers, and shouted: "Stop, Ye Xuan. Why didn't he come, but asked you to reply?"

A black shadow flashed out and stood outside the door. There was only a faint moonlight outside the door: "Yes. The master is very busy recently and has no time to see the young master. He asked me to pass the letter."

"What is he busy with? He obviously got the treasure to lead the martial arts, but he doesn't use it. Instead, he asks me for help. Isn't he taking a detour?"

Ye Xuan straightened his waist, and said bluntly: "Master always considers things. I'm just a guard. If Mr. Liu has something to say, you should ask him." Mr. Liu didn't say any more, just returned to the table, Picking up the pen and ink, he thought for a while and wrote the reply letter. At the end of the letter, he carefully signed the words "Liu Gongzi" and handed it to Ye Xuan.

Letters intersect, and people can be seen by words.As for the preparations for the uprising, the two of them settled the world in simple black and white paper, with a tacit understanding without the slightest mistake.

In Shunhui country, there are many natural disasters in this year. Large and small forests all over the country are on fire for no reason. The land in the area is dry and cracked.The people were displaced, people were panicked, messages spread everywhere, the people remembered the palace change 18 years ago, everyone was spreading rumors everywhere that the late emperor Leng Ning did not die of illness, but Leng Ce seized the palace to usurp the throne, poisoned his elder brother, and forced his elder sister-in-law to marry. , Drought, lack of rain, and sun exposure are really condemned by God.There are rumors that the throne of the Shunhui Empire is not the emperor of the real dragon, but a four-clawed dragon usurping the throne.

Rumor has it that the emperor sent down the pariah, the emperor of the Shunhui Empire, Leng Ce, was depressed and angry, and the tyrant killed people like rivers.Youdao is difficult for everyone to talk about. Under natural disasters and man-made disasters, the people are even more miserable, and they are angry and only look forward to the coming of the Ming King.Sima Yuerong, a veteran of the two dynasties, learned of the sufferings of the people and was heartbroken. He wrote a letter and proposed that the emperor Leng Ce should go to Zeyun Mountain in person and set up an altar. He would pray for rain like the world to show his sincerity and save the people.

There were crowds of people, and the people at the bottom of Zeyun Mountain knelt down to worship, and the voices came and went. The bluestone steps up the mountain were winding and long. superior.

The altar is very empty, except for a huge statue of the rain god leaning against the mountain wall, the picture of the cloud, rain and flying dragon on the stone wall is spectacular.There are no less than a dozen stone sculptures the size of a person guarding the left and right sides of the statue of the Rain God, and the pigs, dogs, cattle, sheep, incense burners and spirits are placed on the altar directly in front of it.Golden cattail mats are spread in front of the altar, and the surrounding guards surround the top of Zeyun Mountain with five steps and one post.After the priests in charge of the sacrifice sang loudly, danced strange dances, and respectfully recited the theology that heaven has the virtue of good life, they sang loudly: "Kneel to the heaven and earth, sacrifice to the gods, and kowtow three times." The sun was scorching hot, and there were no lush green trees to shade the entire Zeyun Mountain, and the green grass on the ground was also listless.

Leng Ce knelt on the yellow futon with a stern face and bored face. When the emperor knelt down, no one dared to stand up and down the mountain. For a while, everyone in Zeyun Mountain silenced their voices and knelt down piously on the ground .

'Tick tock' at such a quiet moment, a clear sound of falling water sounded, and it landed in front of the futon where Leng Ce was kneeling. Leng Ce narrowed his eyes slightly, with a slightly surprised expression, and looked up at the statue.Water drops were falling drop by drop from the eyes of the god statue, Leng Ce stretched out his hand and caught the tears falling from the sky, feeling slightly chilled.

Seeing this, the priest shouted from the side: "The oracle descended from heaven, pity my people, and pity the earth. This is auspicious." As soon as these words came out, the officials who were close to him showed joy on their faces, and praised the emperor again and again; All the people who could hear cheered, tossing their hats, and some women and children embraced each other and wept.Leng Ce frowned as if he was arguing, watching the cool water dripping on the ground and soaking into the loess under his feet.
