Chapter 66
There was a drizzle of rain outside the house, and the rain hit new shoots, splashing and rustling.
Opening his eyes again, Luo Min's gaze returned to calm, "Leading troops out of the city at this moment is killing oneself."
Qie Feng was startled, and suddenly realized that the increase in patrols these days was just a smoke screen before Zhi Ming closed the net.If he really wanted to do something, how could he let them notice?Since the spies wrote that Sun Yan had already arrived outside the city gate, it would be a rebellion if Luo Min led his troops out of the city again.He has military merits, and if he is dismissed and sent to prison for no reason, it will inevitably make people think of a drama of "superior merits". Even if Luo Min is detained, the husband can use this to make trouble.But right now, if Luo Min forcibly leaves the city, it will just give Zhi Ming a reason to take him down - "treason".
"Damn it, it's still a step too late!" Qie Feng beat his chest and stomped his feet, slightly resentful, "Senior brother too, Mr. has already sent the letter, why didn't you lead the troops to leave early?"
leave early?Luo Min's heart turned cold.
Everything is not without warning, he has been in Tianquan for many years, Zhi Ming has never hesitated to show his miss for Mu Rongli in front of him, the same is true, he feels that Zhi Ming trusts him to some extent...
It's ridiculous to say that his coming to Tianquan to help was just a move by his mentor, and he was just a piece in this game, but wouldn't the pieces have feelings?
He puts himself into acting, and after guarding this land for so many years, he's actually gotten used to it...
In the past, plain clothes and shabby clothes, youthful spirit, holding a long scroll in hand, reading the history books carefully, not envious of reckless pride, only thinking that helping the community is the way a scholar should go.
He was originally an outcast in Tianshu's countryside.All his life, he should have grown up ignorant, returning home with a moon lotus hoe in the fields and mountains, only knowing food and clothing, not knowing the mountains, rivers, and country.But when he was about seven or eight years old, an official who retired from his old age came nearby. The house was not gorgeous, but it had a spacious yard.
The person who had been an official in the village came back, and everyone was curious and awed.The old man was very kind, and would often give the children some snacks to eat. As time passed, everyone's fear disappeared.The fruit in the courtyard was harvested very well that day, and it was huge.Thinking that the owner of the yard was also kind, he and a group of children climbed over the wall of the yard to steal the fruit.Unexpectedly, the fruit was not stolen, the person fell, and the books on the floor were overturned.
The old man smelled something, and when he came out of the house, a group of children stuck out their tongues and said nothing.
"Who knocked over my book?" the old man twisted his beard and asked.
They are all children who are used to going wild on the mountain trails, and seeing the old man smiling, they didn't feel that something was wrong, they all surrounded the old man and asked for the fruit on the tree to eat, only Luo Min didn't move.
It's been a long time, and he can't remember why he didn't move. He just thinks that if he wants to ask someone for fruit, he should pick up the book that fell down first.
"These are the words of the sages."
He was squatting down to pick up books, when a sigh suddenly sounded above his head, when he raised his head suddenly, he saw the old man's eyes were kind.
"I don't understand." Luo Min shook his head, he couldn't read.
"Does that have a name?"
Luo Min nodded, very well-behaved, "Luo Min."
The old man tasted these two words and asked with a smile, "Which two words are they?"
Luo Min paused, looked around, picked up a stone and drew on the ground.The reason why it is painting and not writing is probably because the two characters are written in the same way as Taoist talismans.Fortunately, the old man has been able to read and write for decades, and he finally recognized it. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Min, it looks like jade but not jade. The beauty of stone. Hehe, children can be taught."
Luo Min glanced at the scattered characters on the ground, which were no different from the picture, and looked at the old man puzzled.
The old man smiled and said, "Don't you know how to write?"
Luo Min took out a small bronze medal, "Brother Xiucai said it was my name."
It was tied around his neck since he was a child. There are only two scholars in the village, one old and one young. They told him that it was a name. It is not surprising that such a thing may be given by the family who left him.
"This is your name. A man stands upright. To be a man, you must walk and sit upright, and your name must be correct!" The old man was a little excited, "Do you want to write these two characters correctly?"
Luo Min didn't understand what the old man said at the time, but he felt that being able to write beautiful handwriting must be a good thing, at least he wanted to write his own name well.
Cold comes and summer goes, autumn goes and winter comes, the old man seems to have opened a door for him, allowing him to see a different side of the world. It turns out that he can not only hoe the fields to feed himself, but also benefit the country and the people with a lot of hard work. , and even benefit the common people.
The owners of those names in the history books may have long been turned into smoke, but their achievements can benefit future generations.
He also wanted to be like that.
So when he stood among a group of students for the first time and heard Zhong Kunyi talking in class, he decided that he was the one he wanted to follow.
At that time, he first entered the capital city, and was admitted to study in the imperial palace, he was young and full of vigor and high spirits.
"You guys, it's time to catch up. In the old days, how could you poor students like you get into the academy?"
This is somewhat contemptuous and makes people uncomfortable, but he is even more curious, how can he get in?It's not that he doesn't know the gap between a wealthy family and a poor family.
"I heard that Mr. Zhong next to Wang Shang was also born in a poor family. However, Mr. Zhong doesn't care about family status, and only talents are selected. That's why the academy has an exam every year to recruit talents from all over the world."
"I heard that Mr. Zhong has always hoped to change the annual exam to one in spring and autumn, so as to record all the talents in the world, but several big families don't allow it."
"Now that we have taken a place, the age is the test, why don't we have an equal share with the family, it's no wonder they will agree!"
"But the king is facing Mr. Zhong, I think there is something going on!"
"You are not the king, so don't talk about the king's heart..."
Before meeting Zhong Kunyi, he had heard many legends about him.The son of a humble family, he entered the palace with only one talent, and was on the side of the king.Hearing that Yuheng's old way was reopened, he was also responsible for it.A gentle young man, but there is a torrent surging in his heart, and he also wants to be like that person in the hall, benefiting Tianshu.
Burning the lamp to read at night, practicing martial arts diligently, and finally joined Zhong Kunyi's sect. At that time, there was already a disciple named Gen beside him. He was the second and last disciple to enter the house.
He was full of hope that one day, the three of them, the master and the apprentice, would be able to build a stronger Tianshu, but Tianshu died after all...
After all, I couldn't wait until the day when the Academy of Spring and Autumn took the exam and recruited all the talents in the world.
I haven't returned for many years, and I don't know if that small village is still there...
It's ridiculous, he wants to do his duty as a courtier, but he does it all in other countries.
"Let's go."
"Let's go? How do we go now?" Qie Feng asked.
With a bang, the soldier talisman was presented on the table, Qie Feng also knew what it was, and was speechless in surprise.
Luo Min said, "It's just us." He glanced outside the room, "There's still time."
The soldier who does not take away the power of heaven, if he wants to go, he is the only one who goes.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is a matter of being a courtier, and one day there will be a war, so why let the same robes meet each other in arms.
"Are you going out?"
Xiaopang was startled, turned around and said angrily, "Why are you so elusive?"
Xun Xiao, who was dressed in a crow-blue costume, stood with his sword in his arms, looked at the sky, and said indifferently, "I was always behind you, and I didn't notice it."
"Qinggong is amazing!" Xiaopang was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he turned around and left.
"Hey! You shouldn't go out recently!" Xun Xiao said again, "There are a lot of patrols coming and going on the street these days, it seems that it is not very peaceful."
Fatty paused, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty is coming back, so you should be more defensive."
Thinking of seeing Zhi Ming and Murong Li soon, the smile on Xiaopang's face grew even wider.
Xun Xiao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to grab Xiaopang, "Zhi Ming is coming back?"
Xiaopang's wrist hurt from his grip, almost dropped two jugs of wine in his hand, and said angrily, "Be careful, my wine!"
Xun Xiao immediately let go of him, smiled apologetically, and said happily, "When will Zhi Ming come back?"
"Zhi Ming Zhi Ming, Your Majesty is also called by you?"
"Oh! Didn't you scream too? Zhi... Hey, when will your Majesty come back!" Xun Xiao said anxiously.
Xiaopang squinted at him, and chuckled, "You miss your little prince so much?"
Xun Xiao touched his nose, blushed, but said confidently, "It's a matter of course!"
Xiaopang was also happy, and stopped teasing him, "I'm leaving in a few days, so hurry up!"
When Xun Xiao heard that it was just "soon", he immediately felt as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. He felt quite unhappy, and became bored again. He looked at the jug in Xiaopang's hand, "Hey, can I drink wine?"
Xiaopang immediately hid the wine behind his back.
Xun Xiao snorted, "Stingy!"
Xun Xiao is also a guest, after what he said, Xiaopang blushed, and stammered, "There are some in the cellar, if you want some servants to take them for you, these two pots I... I will give them away! "
"Who are you sending it to?"
"What's with you?"
Xun Xiao laughed, "I'm just asking, why are you nervous, I'm not interested in knowing. Go drink!"
After saying that, Xun Xiao turned around and left.Xiaopang stared at that figure from behind. He was greedy for alcohol at a young age, and if he doesn't learn well, your little prince is much more likable!
"Wait!" Luo Min pressed Qie Feng's shoulder and hid behind the roof.
Qie Feng was puzzled, followed Luo Min's gaze and glanced at the guards walking in the distance, his brows were tightly frowned, "Brother, do you think it's a fraud?"
"Wait and wait!" Luo Min said solemnly.
Xie Feng's heart twitched, "Then what should we do now?"
"Wait!"
wait? "How long will it take?"
"How long does it take to wait, I'm afraid the city gate is also in the same situation. If you want to go out of the city, you have to wait until nightfall."
Qie Feng wants to say that if it is late, there will be changes. Maybe changes will also bring opportunities?
A carriage rattled up from the street, and the patrol cautiously stepped forward to check. I don't know what the person in the carriage said, but the patrol let it go with a smile, very politely.
Qie Feng stared at the car, maybe this is the opportunity, there is a corner ahead, which is the blind spot of the patrol, and he wants to hijack the car there...
Uh... Qie Feng's precise calculations got stuck in his mind, and without waiting for the carriage to turn the corner, the carriage unexpectedly stopped at the gate of Luo's mansion.
The moment the people in the car got off, Luo Min was shocked, while Qie Feng was ecstatic.
Xiaopang got out of the carriage with two jugs of wine. Anyone who can drive on Dongxi Fifth Street is not an ordinary person. He stepped forward with a smile and said respectfully, "What's the matter with your lord?"
Xiaopang handed over the greeting card, "Is the general at home? I'll come to visit."
The big family's Yan Shu has a book in his heart for the dignitaries in the court, and he still knows the name on the little fat post. He knows that he is someone close to the emperor. He should have been led directly to the main hall to wait, but it is his first time to visit. Yan Shu was not sure whether his general was waiting to see someone, so he said with a smile, "The general is here, my lord, wait a moment. You, take the post in, hurry up!"
Xiaopang waited as promised, touched the wine jar again, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Luo Min and Qie Feng glanced at each other. If he went in to look for Luo Min at this moment, he would definitely attract guards from a distance. Although the two of them are not bad at martial arts, they are outnumbered. No matter what, a conflict here would be a problem. Unwise.
Luo Min closed his eyes and sighed, and jumped off the eaves.
In the main hall, Luo Min sat on the seat, Xiaopang came at a leisurely pace, and when he entered the door, his steps slowed down again.
Seeing him coming, Luo Min got up and smiled, "You're here."
Xiaopang also smiled and said, "Come to visit the general."
Luo Min was taken aback, "Is there something wrong?"
Xiaopang was slightly taken aback, "I... I came... on that day..."
After thinking about some words for thousands of times, I can recite them backwards, why can't I straighten my tongue when I say them?Little Fatty gritted his teeth in frustration, put his heart on hold, raised his hand and showed two jugs of wine, just about to speak...
Suddenly there was a pain in his lower back, and a cold object cut through his clothes and touched his skin, making him tremble immediately, with a bang, the room was filled with the smell of wine.
"Don't move!" Qie Feng grabbed Xiaopang's throat with one hand, pressed the knife against his lower back with the other, and said ruthlessly, "If you don't want to die, don't yell!"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xiaopang's forehead, he stared at Luo Min in a daze, and Luo Min also stared at him in a daze, then his lips moved slightly silently, and Luo Min's heart trembled.
"Brother!" Seeing Luo Min in a daze, Qie Feng said urgently, "We need to borrow his carriage if we want to leave the city."
Chubby's pupils trembled, the surprise in his pupils was like the sharpest sword in the world to Luo Min.
"you……"
"Shut up!" The strength of the choke on the throat increased, and it was difficult to breathe, and the words were cut off like this...
Xiaopang took a hard look at the broken pottery all over the place, there was still some fine wine glistening in the pottery shards, it was the best wine in the Tianquan wine market.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"You'd better behave yourself..."
"Let him go."
Qie Feng was taken aback, looked at Luo Min in disbelief, and said angrily, "Brother, what's going on with you? Don't forget, Tianshu and Mister are still waiting for you!"
Luo Min was stunned, pinching his palm with his fingertips so painfully, Master Guoqing, yes... what is he doing?I missed the best opportunity from the very beginning, should I make the same mistakes again and again?
Luo Min closed his eyes and walked sideways to Xiaopang and Qie Feng, without saying a word.
At the gate of Luo Mansion, a group of people carried something like a screen to the carriage, and Fatty also got into the carriage with the people carrying it.
Yan Shu, who came to see the guests off, was a clever man, and said with a smile, "Our general has been busy with His Majesty's return to the capital recently, so he is not in good health. He must be tired today. Your lord will come back another day?"
Feeling the cold edge on the back of his waist, Xiaopang smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's okay."
The carriage drove away, and Yan Shu was puzzled, his general had always been considerate to guests, and today this lord is someone close to His Majesty, why did he let the guests see him off without exchanging a few greetings?I also gave away a screen for no reason, and it was not a very expensive thing, so many people were asked to move it.Speaking of which, the lord came alone, so why did he have an attendant by his side when he left?Is he forgetting?
Yan Shu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it, since he was just a janitor anyway.
In the carriage, Xiaopang sat quietly without any resistance. Seeing that he was honest, Xie Feng no longer strangled him by the throat, but still held the knife against him.
"How long will it take to reach the city gate?" Xie Feng asked.
Xiaopang didn't even look at him, and whispered, "Where are you going?"
Qie Feng saw that he didn't answer the question, and the sharp blade in his hand penetrated another inch, Xiaopang's body stiffened, but he didn't feel any pain, so he said, "Do you want to go back to Tianshu?"
He thought about it and felt very puzzled, "But isn't Tianshu also a county of Tianquan?"
"Bastard!"
"Hmm..." Xiaopang snorted.
Luo Min said coldly, "Qi Feng!"
Thinking about needing this hostage to go out of the city, Qie Feng loosened the blade resentfully.
"Why..." Fatty still couldn't understand, "Isn't the world already stable? You are a general... Your Majesty trusts you so much..."
"Hmph! Don't mention your majesty," Qie Feng said contemptuously, "the emperor's mind, if he really believed in his brother, he wouldn't deploy defenses along the streets and block the city gates!"
Xiaopang was stunned, unable to say for a long time, "Your Majesty... how could he..." He suddenly said, "Luo Min, no, General Luo, Your Majesty is not the kind of narrow-minded person who would be afraid of the achievements of his subjects, you must have misunderstood gone."
Luo Min looked at him with a frown, and said after a long time, "I didn't doubt him, it was I who was leaving, I... from the beginning to the end... allegiance to Tianshu."
The four eyes met, Xiaopang opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the generals guarding the city stepped forward to question him, and seeing that it was Xiaopang, he let him go.When they reached Wengcheng and were about to leave the outer city gate, the guard here turned out to be Sun Yan.
Through the car window, Xiaopang looked at Sun Yan who was walking towards him in shock, his heart was still in a cold cellar.
"How come Xiaopang is you?" Sun Yan didn't expect that, "You want to leave the city?"
"I..." The knife on his waist penetrated another inch. For some reason, he didn't feel afraid, but felt a little calmer and colder in his heart, "I...I miss Lord Hou."
He really missed Mo Lan, he grew up beside Mo Lan, Mo Lan was a few years older than him, just like his elder brother.
Seeing that his eyes were red at first, Sun Yan was at a loss for what to do. He was not good at coaxing people, so he could only lower his voice, "Don't cry, they will be back and they are already on their way."
"Hmm..." Xiaopang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but couldn't hold back, "I want to go out of the city to pick him up."
Sun Yan looked at the city gate in embarrassment, "It's not peaceful these days, you can wait, I'll be back soon."
Hearing that Zhi Ming was coming back soon, Qie Feng couldn't help feeling ruthless, and subconsciously tightened his blade.
Xiaopang gritted his teeth and endured, Sun Yan frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? I think you look bad."
"Didn't you say that His Majesty is coming back soon? I want to go out of the city to pick them up."
Thinking that Zhiming said that you should not startle the snake, there are so many people here, and forcing Xiaopang to go back may make people suspicious, so Sun Yan had to remind, "Then be careful."
This is already the second person who asked him to be careful today, but... he just didn't.
After leaving Wengcheng, the carriage galloped all the way, and did not stop until it reached the outskirts.
Xiaopang was dragged and dragged out of the car, followed by Luo Min.
"Brother, quickly unload the horse, this cart is burdensome."
Fatty was held hostage and quietly watched Luo Min unload the horse, and watched him lead the horse over. He remembered that night when the snow was flying. He stood in front of the carriage with a gentle smile. Let me ride together."
Suddenly he felt very tired, his eyes were flickering, thinking of Murongli and Zhiming's journey along the way so much, thinking of Xun Xiao's occasional mention of his and Yuyuan's past... He still has time to figure out the strange things in his heart What's going on with the excitement and disappointment, I suddenly feel very tired.
"Hey! You!" Qie Feng exclaimed as his hands sank suddenly.
Luo Min turned around and saw Xiaopang fainted.
"Little Fatty!" Walking over in three steps at a time, Luo Min snatched Xiaopang from Qie Feng's hand and hugged him, "Little Fatty, Little Fatty!"
A comatose person won't give him any response. Only then did Luo Min see the bright red at Qie Feng's feet, and then slowly took out the hand that was wrapped around the chubby waist. The palm was also bright red, which made people's eyes hurt. He suddenly raised his head and stared coldly at Qie Feng, and at the knife that was stained with bright red.
Qie Feng's scalp was numb from being stared at, and he felt even more baffled, "Why are you staring at me, he is a man of heaven!"
"It's not Tianquan who destroys Tianshu!"
"What's your reasoning?" Qie Feng was also angry, "A friend of an enemy is an enemy!"
Said that Qie Feng drew his sword and was about to cut it off, but was stunned by Luo Min's eyes, and took a long time to withdraw the sword angrily, "I don't know why!"
Luo Min tore off a strand of clothing, wrapped Xiaopang's waist wound, carried him into the car, took off his outer robe and covered him.
He wanted to say something, but found that it was useless to say anything.
After all, there is no words, each of them ends up in the world.
The news of Luo Min's escape reached Zhiming one afternoon, when he was still three days away from the capital.
"Heh, as expected of Zhong Kunyi's disciple." Zhi Ming said calmly.
Although the soldiers who submitted the report didn't see him getting angry, they didn't dare to be negligent, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, General Sun has ordered people to seal off the passes in various places, and Master Ding has also ordered people to strictly guard all the passes into Tianshu."
"Well, step back." Zhi Ming closed the report, rubbed the bridge of his nose, the report showed that besides Luo Min's escape, there was also the matter of Xiaopang's injury.
"Your Majesty, is the city okay?" Mo Lan asked as soon as the soldiers retreated.
Zhiming paused for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face, and finally handed him the report, "You can read it yourself."
Mo Lan was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy, and hurriedly took the report and flipped through it quickly. Suddenly, her hands froze, and she suddenly raised her head, "Little Fatty..."
"Don't worry, he's fine, he's awake."
This matter involved Xiaopang for no reason, it was beyond Zhiming's expectation, with half a city separated from east to west, Luo Min did not expect that Luo Min would hold Xiaopang hostage.
It was only then that Mo Lan saw the line on the other page, Sun Yan said that Xiaopang was only injured on the flesh, and he had already woken up.But even so, he still can't rest assured, "Your Majesty, I want to go back first." Following the emperor, no matter how fast he travels, he won't be able to get anywhere soon...
Zhi Ming frowned slightly, but it was hard to stop him. After getting the consent, Mo Lan hurried out of the post house and rode away.
Leaving the study, Zhi Ming went back to the bedroom, but he didn't see Murong Li, he asked the palace staff again, and finally found him in Yu Yuan's wing.Laughter came through the carved wooden window, Murong Li sat on the side of the chessboard, contemplating, suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "You lost."
Yuyuan shook her head and sighed slowly, "As expected of Zhongyuan's chess skills, Yuyuan is convinced!"
Murongli smiled gently, "You are amazing."
He was telling the truth, Yuyuan was born in the Western Regions since she was a child, but she is proficient in Zhongyuan culture, which really impressed him.
"Brother King?" Yuyuan laughed, "If you look at me like that again, His Majesty will be angry."
"Ah?" Murong Li was taken aback, thinking of Zhi Ming, he couldn't help laughing, "He won't."
Zhiming's heart warmed up, and he walked into the room with a smile, "The widow will!"
Seeing Zhiming, Yuyuan hurriedly stroked her heart, and said quite aggrieved, "Oh, your majesty is angry and scared me to death. The elder brother of the country is one person who does things and one person is responsible, so I will withdraw first!"
Seeing the person who played chess just now walk away without any morals, Murongli can only feel that the boat of friendship will turn over at any time.
"Ah Li likes to play chess with Yu Yuan very much recently!" Zhi Ming sat down beside Murong Li, taking him into his arms.
Murong Li said with a smile, "It's rare to meet an opponent at chess."
"Oh, it turns out that Ah Li dislikes the poor chess skills of others." Zhi Ming leaned closer to Murong Li's ear and whispered.
Murong Li couldn't help but laugh, "You are okay."
Being able to get his family's A Li to say "It's okay" is already enough face, Zhi Ming is very self-aware, bit the tip of Murong Li's ear, and muttered, "Yu Yuan has someone she likes."
"What?" Murong Li laughed, "What do you mean?"
"The widow is jealous." She said and bit her pink earlobe again.
It was the first time that Murongli saw someone eat Wuming Fei vinegar so confidently, without blushing, he immediately bowed down, "I just think Yuyuan is very similar to you."
"Like me?" Zhi Ming's eyes widened, "Him? A widow? Where does he look like?"
"Same, pure heart." Murong Li said with a smile.
For the sake of good reviews, I don't care about it. In short, what A Li says is what he says.Zhi Ming smiled and rubbed against his neck, "It's nice to hold you like this."
Murong Li paused for a moment, then said softly, "Is it because Sun Yan's side is not going well?"
Although Zhi Ming kept joking, since he stepped over the threshold, he noticed the hidden worry in his eyes.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Zhi Ming said frankly, "Luo Min ran away."
"So that's how it is. He is not someone who will be arrested without a fight. We have calculated whether this matter can be achieved. Isn't it only five or five? You don't have to worry." Murong Li said indifferently, "He should not return to Tianshu. The reason why Ding Yuan was sent to the north was because of the dense forests there, which might be Zhong Kunyi’s hiding place, but after all these years, Ding Yuan hasn’t found any clues, so it can be known that he is not there. It is not easy to train soldiers in the middle of the country, and the need for food and grass is also a problem.”
"A Li..." Zhi Ming covered Murongli's hand and sighed heavily.
He was not in a hurry, he didn't know how to tell Murongli, this incident hurt Xiaopang, although he knew that Murongli would know sooner or later, but Zhiming still hoped that this day would come later, he didn't want to break the rare man in front of him. happy.
Afraid that Murongli would think too much, Zhi Ming had no choice but to follow him, "If it's not Tianshu, could it be Kaiyang?"
"It's not impossible. Since ancient times, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It's just that Zuoyi tried so hard to force me to save his life. He certainly wouldn't take the risk."
"This person is arrogant and conceited, how can he see it?"
"Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is also extremely suspicious. He won't take risks easily after being defeated once, not to mention that he hasn't found the person he is looking for yet."
"Qianyuan?"
Zhi Ming knew Zuo Yi was looking for Qian Yuan.In order to prevent Zuo Yi from being overconfident and wanting to be independent, Tianquan's spies have been dormant in Kaiyang King City. The news that comes back every year is that Zuo Yi is quite safe, and the only big move is that he is looking for Kaiyang City. The mechanism master who disappeared after being broken——Qianyuan.
"Speaking of this, I have something I've always wanted to ask you." Murong Li said.
Zhi Ming looked at those clear pupils carefully, and smiled softly, "Ask."
"Those swords..."
"What sword?" Zhi Ming picked up Murongli's hair, "Yan Zhi? I will keep it for you."
Murongli took his hair out of Zhi Ming's hands, and said seriously, "Don't be stupid, since you are planning to guard against Luo Min, why haven't you read the letter I left for you, the fragments of Liuren, the eight swords, the fragments I didn't find it, but Excalibur, I..."
"I ordered someone to secretly hide in Xiangxu Terrace." Zhi Ming took his words, and continued lazily, "It's not once or twice that Ah Li regards the widow's palace ban as nothing, the widow really should let Sun Yan rectify it Let's go to the inner palace guards."
"Zhi Ming..." Murong Li sighed helplessly, "Have you put it away?"
"Your widow..." Zhi Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't go get it."
"Why!" Murong Li was surprised.
"The widow thinks that Ah Li is well hidden, so... I don't bother to look for it."
"You really are..." Murong Li was speechless.
"Farewell to you." Zhi Ming coaxed carefully, "Actually, I should have told you...the Liuren scroll...is here with you."
"..." Murongli's pupils froze for a long time before hesitating, "Zuo Yi gave it to you?"
Zhiming said with a guilty conscience, "It's... Gen Mochi."
Murong Li looked at Zhi Ming for a moment, then suddenly laughed at himself, "So when we said goodbye in front of the city gate, were you testing me?"
"A Li..." Zhi Ming panicked in his heart, he couldn't explain what happened back then.
Murong Li stared at him thoughtfully, "I always thought that you resented me because of Taifu and Ziyu's affairs."
"It's because of Taifu and Ziyu, no, no, I never hated you, alas, it's not true," Zhi Ming was annoyed, and finally realized what it means to be blackened and blackened, wishing to go back to the past and scratch his ears, " In short, you are a wimpy bastard!"
Finally, Zhi Ming came to a firm conclusion.
Seeing that he was incoherent in a hurry, and his eyes were disturbed, Murongli sighed helplessly, and reached out to caress his side face, "You are not a bastard, you are very stupid."
As he said that, Murong Li laughed, and felt very angry when he smiled, that's right, this person is really stupid!
"Ah Li...", Zhi Ming was in a state of confusion. He felt sorry for the person in front of him at first, but now he felt more guilty, and he was ashamed to hug him. He could only hold his hand, even though he had thousands of words, but Not a word.
Seeing him like this, Murong Li couldn't bear to argue with him, obviously he was the one who was suspected back then, but now he has come to coax him, anyway, who let the person in front of him have such a childish temper...
Murong Li took Zhi Ming into his arms, and said softly, "Just this time, if you dare to doubt me again, I will go back to Yaoguang, and will not go to Tianquan again."
Zhi Ming knows that Murong Li is not a person who clings to the past, but he also knows that the word "trust" is what he cares most about, so he secretly swears that such a stupid thing will never be done again.
His A Li, so good, better than anything in the world, was exactly the person he wanted to be by his side to raise, pamper, and walk side by side with him since he was a child.He didn't look for those swords because they were meaningless to him, all he cared about was the person in his arms, the country was peaceful, and the warehouse was rich, just because the person in his arms expected so much, he felt that he couldn't live up to it.
Murongli cherished the world, so he cherished Murongli.
The author has something to say:

Notes:
阍立: Refers to the boy servant who guards the gate.
Wengcheng: It is one of the main defensive facilities of ancient cities, which can strengthen the defense of castles or passes, and the semicircular or square gate guard city built outside the city gate (there are also special cases inside the city gate) belongs to ancient Chinese Part of the city wall.
There was a drizzle of rain outside the house, and the rain hit new shoots, splashing and rustling.
Opening his eyes again, Luo Min's gaze returned to calm, "Leading troops out of the city at this moment is killing oneself."
Qie Feng was startled, and suddenly realized that the increase in patrols these days was just a smoke screen before Zhi Ming closed the net.If he really wanted to do something, how could he let them notice?Since the spies wrote that Sun Yan had already arrived outside the city gate, it would be a rebellion if Luo Min led his troops out of the city again.He has military merits, and if he is dismissed and sent to prison for no reason, it will inevitably make people think of a drama of "superior merits". Even if Luo Min is detained, the husband can use this to make trouble.But right now, if Luo Min forcibly leaves the city, it will just give Zhi Ming a reason to take him down - "treason".
"Damn it, it's still a step too late!" Qie Feng beat his chest and stomped his feet, slightly resentful, "Senior brother too, Mr. has already sent the letter, why didn't you lead the troops to leave early?"
leave early?Luo Min's heart turned cold.
Everything is not without warning, he has been in Tianquan for many years, Zhi Ming has never hesitated to show his miss for Mu Rongli in front of him, the same is true, he feels that Zhi Ming trusts him to some extent...
It's ridiculous to say that his coming to Tianquan to help was just a move by his mentor, and he was just a piece in this game, but wouldn't the pieces have feelings?
He puts himself into acting, and after guarding this land for so many years, he's actually gotten used to it...
In the past, plain clothes and shabby clothes, youthful spirit, holding a long scroll in hand, reading the history books carefully, not envious of reckless pride, only thinking that helping the community is the way a scholar should go.
He was originally an outcast in Tianshu's countryside.All his life, he should have grown up ignorant, returning home with a moon lotus hoe in the fields and mountains, only knowing food and clothing, not knowing the mountains, rivers, and country.But when he was about seven or eight years old, an official who retired from his old age came nearby. The house was not gorgeous, but it had a spacious yard.
The person who had been an official in the village came back, and everyone was curious and awed.The old man was very kind, and would often give the children some snacks to eat. As time passed, everyone's fear disappeared.The fruit in the courtyard was harvested very well that day, and it was huge.Thinking that the owner of the yard was also kind, he and a group of children climbed over the wall of the yard to steal the fruit.Unexpectedly, the fruit was not stolen, the person fell, and the books on the floor were overturned.
The old man smelled something, and when he came out of the house, a group of children stuck out their tongues and said nothing.
"Who knocked over my book?" the old man twisted his beard and asked.
They are all children who are used to going wild on the mountain trails, and seeing the old man smiling, they didn't feel that something was wrong, they all surrounded the old man and asked for the fruit on the tree to eat, only Luo Min didn't move.
It's been a long time, and he can't remember why he didn't move. He just thinks that if he wants to ask someone for fruit, he should pick up the book that fell down first.
"These are the words of the sages."
He was squatting down to pick up books, when a sigh suddenly sounded above his head, when he raised his head suddenly, he saw the old man's eyes were kind.
"I don't understand." Luo Min shook his head, he couldn't read.
"Does that have a name?"
Luo Min nodded, very well-behaved, "Luo Min."
The old man tasted these two words and asked with a smile, "Which two words are they?"
Luo Min paused, looked around, picked up a stone and drew on the ground.The reason why it is painting and not writing is probably because the two characters are written in the same way as Taoist talismans.Fortunately, the old man has been able to read and write for decades, and he finally recognized it. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Min, it looks like jade but not jade. The beauty of stone. Hehe, children can be taught."
Luo Min glanced at the scattered characters on the ground, which were no different from the picture, and looked at the old man puzzled.
The old man smiled and said, "Don't you know how to write?"
Luo Min took out a small bronze medal, "Brother Xiucai said it was my name."
It was tied around his neck since he was a child. There are only two scholars in the village, one old and one young. They told him that it was a name. It is not surprising that such a thing may be given by the family who left him.
"This is your name. A man stands upright. To be a man, you must walk and sit upright, and your name must be correct!" The old man was a little excited, "Do you want to write these two characters correctly?"
Luo Min didn't understand what the old man said at the time, but he felt that being able to write beautiful handwriting must be a good thing, at least he wanted to write his own name well.
Cold comes and summer goes, autumn goes and winter comes, the old man seems to have opened a door for him, allowing him to see a different side of the world. It turns out that he can not only hoe the fields to feed himself, but also benefit the country and the people with a lot of hard work. , and even benefit the common people.
The owners of those names in the history books may have long been turned into smoke, but their achievements can benefit future generations.
He also wanted to be like that.
So when he stood among a group of students for the first time and heard Zhong Kunyi talking in class, he decided that he was the one he wanted to follow.
At that time, he first entered the capital city, and was admitted to study in the imperial palace, he was young and full of vigor and high spirits.
"You guys, it's time to catch up. In the old days, how could you poor students like you get into the academy?"
This is somewhat contemptuous and makes people uncomfortable, but he is even more curious, how can he get in?It's not that he doesn't know the gap between a wealthy family and a poor family.
"I heard that Mr. Zhong next to Wang Shang was also born in a poor family. However, Mr. Zhong doesn't care about family status, and only talents are selected. That's why the academy has an exam every year to recruit talents from all over the world."
"I heard that Mr. Zhong has always hoped to change the annual exam to one in spring and autumn, so as to record all the talents in the world, but several big families don't allow it."
"Now that we have taken a place, the age is the test, why don't we have an equal share with the family, it's no wonder they will agree!"
"But the king is facing Mr. Zhong, I think there is something going on!"
"You are not the king, so don't talk about the king's heart..."
Before meeting Zhong Kunyi, he had heard many legends about him.The son of a humble family, he entered the palace with only one talent, and was on the side of the king.Hearing that Yuheng's old way was reopened, he was also responsible for it.A gentle young man, but there is a torrent surging in his heart, and he also wants to be like that person in the hall, benefiting Tianshu.
Burning the lamp to read at night, practicing martial arts diligently, and finally joined Zhong Kunyi's sect. At that time, there was already a disciple named Gen beside him. He was the second and last disciple to enter the house.
He was full of hope that one day, the three of them, the master and the apprentice, would be able to build a stronger Tianshu, but Tianshu died after all...
After all, I couldn't wait until the day when the Academy of Spring and Autumn took the exam and recruited all the talents in the world.
I haven't returned for many years, and I don't know if that small village is still there...
It's ridiculous, he wants to do his duty as a courtier, but he does it all in other countries.
"Let's go."
"Let's go? How do we go now?" Qie Feng asked.
With a bang, the soldier talisman was presented on the table, Qie Feng also knew what it was, and was speechless in surprise.
Luo Min said, "It's just us." He glanced outside the room, "There's still time."
The soldier who does not take away the power of heaven, if he wants to go, he is the only one who goes.
Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is a matter of being a courtier, and one day there will be a war, so why let the same robes meet each other in arms.
"Are you going out?"
Xiaopang was startled, turned around and said angrily, "Why are you so elusive?"
Xun Xiao, who was dressed in a crow-blue costume, stood with his sword in his arms, looked at the sky, and said indifferently, "I was always behind you, and I didn't notice it."
"Qinggong is amazing!" Xiaopang was so angry that he wanted to laugh, he turned around and left.
"Hey! You shouldn't go out recently!" Xun Xiao said again, "There are a lot of patrols coming and going on the street these days, it seems that it is not very peaceful."
Fatty paused, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty is coming back, so you should be more defensive."
Thinking of seeing Zhi Ming and Murong Li soon, the smile on Xiaopang's face grew even wider.
Xun Xiao's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward to grab Xiaopang, "Zhi Ming is coming back?"
Xiaopang's wrist hurt from his grip, almost dropped two jugs of wine in his hand, and said angrily, "Be careful, my wine!"
Xun Xiao immediately let go of him, smiled apologetically, and said happily, "When will Zhi Ming come back?"
"Zhi Ming Zhi Ming, Your Majesty is also called by you?"
"Oh! Didn't you scream too? Zhi... Hey, when will your Majesty come back!" Xun Xiao said anxiously.
Xiaopang squinted at him, and chuckled, "You miss your little prince so much?"
Xun Xiao touched his nose, blushed, but said confidently, "It's a matter of course!"
Xiaopang was also happy, and stopped teasing him, "I'm leaving in a few days, so hurry up!"
When Xun Xiao heard that it was just "soon", he immediately felt as if he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water. He felt quite unhappy, and became bored again. He looked at the jug in Xiaopang's hand, "Hey, can I drink wine?"
Xiaopang immediately hid the wine behind his back.
Xun Xiao snorted, "Stingy!"
Xun Xiao is also a guest, after what he said, Xiaopang blushed, and stammered, "There are some in the cellar, if you want some servants to take them for you, these two pots I... I will give them away! "
"Who are you sending it to?"
"What's with you?"
Xun Xiao laughed, "I'm just asking, why are you nervous, I'm not interested in knowing. Go drink!"
After saying that, Xun Xiao turned around and left.Xiaopang stared at that figure from behind. He was greedy for alcohol at a young age, and if he doesn't learn well, your little prince is much more likable!
"Wait!" Luo Min pressed Qie Feng's shoulder and hid behind the roof.
Qie Feng was puzzled, followed Luo Min's gaze and glanced at the guards walking in the distance, his brows were tightly frowned, "Brother, do you think it's a fraud?"
"Wait and wait!" Luo Min said solemnly.
Xie Feng's heart twitched, "Then what should we do now?"
"Wait!"
wait? "How long will it take?"
"How long does it take to wait, I'm afraid the city gate is also in the same situation. If you want to go out of the city, you have to wait until nightfall."
Qie Feng wants to say that if it is late, there will be changes. Maybe changes will also bring opportunities?
A carriage rattled up from the street, and the patrol cautiously stepped forward to check. I don't know what the person in the carriage said, but the patrol let it go with a smile, very politely.
Qie Feng stared at the car, maybe this is the opportunity, there is a corner ahead, which is the blind spot of the patrol, and he wants to hijack the car there...
Uh... Qie Feng's precise calculations got stuck in his mind, and without waiting for the carriage to turn the corner, the carriage unexpectedly stopped at the gate of Luo's mansion.
The moment the people in the car got off, Luo Min was shocked, while Qie Feng was ecstatic.
Xiaopang got out of the carriage with two jugs of wine. Anyone who can drive on Dongxi Fifth Street is not an ordinary person. He stepped forward with a smile and said respectfully, "What's the matter with your lord?"
Xiaopang handed over the greeting card, "Is the general at home? I'll come to visit."
The big family's Yan Shu has a book in his heart for the dignitaries in the court, and he still knows the name on the little fat post. He knows that he is someone close to the emperor. He should have been led directly to the main hall to wait, but it is his first time to visit. Yan Shu was not sure whether his general was waiting to see someone, so he said with a smile, "The general is here, my lord, wait a moment. You, take the post in, hurry up!"
Xiaopang waited as promised, touched the wine jar again, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Luo Min and Qie Feng glanced at each other. If he went in to look for Luo Min at this moment, he would definitely attract guards from a distance. Although the two of them are not bad at martial arts, they are outnumbered. No matter what, a conflict here would be a problem. Unwise.
Luo Min closed his eyes and sighed, and jumped off the eaves.
In the main hall, Luo Min sat on the seat, Xiaopang came at a leisurely pace, and when he entered the door, his steps slowed down again.
Seeing him coming, Luo Min got up and smiled, "You're here."
Xiaopang also smiled and said, "Come to visit the general."
Luo Min was taken aback, "Is there something wrong?"
Xiaopang was slightly taken aback, "I... I came... on that day..."
After thinking about some words for thousands of times, I can recite them backwards, why can't I straighten my tongue when I say them?Little Fatty gritted his teeth in frustration, put his heart on hold, raised his hand and showed two jugs of wine, just about to speak...
Suddenly there was a pain in his lower back, and a cold object cut through his clothes and touched his skin, making him tremble immediately, with a bang, the room was filled with the smell of wine.
"Don't move!" Qie Feng grabbed Xiaopang's throat with one hand, pressed the knife against his lower back with the other, and said ruthlessly, "If you don't want to die, don't yell!"
Cold sweat suddenly broke out on Xiaopang's forehead, he stared at Luo Min in a daze, and Luo Min also stared at him in a daze, then his lips moved slightly silently, and Luo Min's heart trembled.
"Brother!" Seeing Luo Min in a daze, Qie Feng said urgently, "We need to borrow his carriage if we want to leave the city."
Chubby's pupils trembled, the surprise in his pupils was like the sharpest sword in the world to Luo Min.
"you……"
"Shut up!" The strength of the choke on the throat increased, and it was difficult to breathe, and the words were cut off like this...
Xiaopang took a hard look at the broken pottery all over the place, there was still some fine wine glistening in the pottery shards, it was the best wine in the Tianquan wine market.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.
"You'd better behave yourself..."
"Let him go."
Qie Feng was taken aback, looked at Luo Min in disbelief, and said angrily, "Brother, what's going on with you? Don't forget, Tianshu and Mister are still waiting for you!"
Luo Min was stunned, pinching his palm with his fingertips so painfully, Master Guoqing, yes... what is he doing?I missed the best opportunity from the very beginning, should I make the same mistakes again and again?
Luo Min closed his eyes and walked sideways to Xiaopang and Qie Feng, without saying a word.
At the gate of Luo Mansion, a group of people carried something like a screen to the carriage, and Fatty also got into the carriage with the people carrying it.
Yan Shu, who came to see the guests off, was a clever man, and said with a smile, "Our general has been busy with His Majesty's return to the capital recently, so he is not in good health. He must be tired today. Your lord will come back another day?"
Feeling the cold edge on the back of his waist, Xiaopang smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's okay."
The carriage drove away, and Yan Shu was puzzled, his general had always been considerate to guests, and today this lord is someone close to His Majesty, why did he let the guests see him off without exchanging a few greetings?I also gave away a screen for no reason, and it was not a very expensive thing, so many people were asked to move it.Speaking of which, the lord came alone, so why did he have an attendant by his side when he left?Is he forgetting?
Yan Shu couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't bother to think about it, since he was just a janitor anyway.
In the carriage, Xiaopang sat quietly without any resistance. Seeing that he was honest, Xie Feng no longer strangled him by the throat, but still held the knife against him.
"How long will it take to reach the city gate?" Xie Feng asked.
Xiaopang didn't even look at him, and whispered, "Where are you going?"
Qie Feng saw that he didn't answer the question, and the sharp blade in his hand penetrated another inch, Xiaopang's body stiffened, but he didn't feel any pain, so he said, "Do you want to go back to Tianshu?"
He thought about it and felt very puzzled, "But isn't Tianshu also a county of Tianquan?"
"Bastard!"
"Hmm..." Xiaopang snorted.
Luo Min said coldly, "Qi Feng!"
Thinking about needing this hostage to go out of the city, Qie Feng loosened the blade resentfully.
"Why..." Fatty still couldn't understand, "Isn't the world already stable? You are a general... Your Majesty trusts you so much..."
"Hmph! Don't mention your majesty," Qie Feng said contemptuously, "the emperor's mind, if he really believed in his brother, he wouldn't deploy defenses along the streets and block the city gates!"
Xiaopang was stunned, unable to say for a long time, "Your Majesty... how could he..." He suddenly said, "Luo Min, no, General Luo, Your Majesty is not the kind of narrow-minded person who would be afraid of the achievements of his subjects, you must have misunderstood gone."
Luo Min looked at him with a frown, and said after a long time, "I didn't doubt him, it was I who was leaving, I... from the beginning to the end... allegiance to Tianshu."
The four eyes met, Xiaopang opened his mouth, but found that he had nothing to say.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the city, the generals guarding the city stepped forward to question him, and seeing that it was Xiaopang, he let him go.When they reached Wengcheng and were about to leave the outer city gate, the guard here turned out to be Sun Yan.
Through the car window, Xiaopang looked at Sun Yan who was walking towards him in shock, his heart was still in a cold cellar.
"How come Xiaopang is you?" Sun Yan didn't expect that, "You want to leave the city?"
"I..." The knife on his waist penetrated another inch. For some reason, he didn't feel afraid, but felt a little calmer and colder in his heart, "I...I miss Lord Hou."
He really missed Mo Lan, he grew up beside Mo Lan, Mo Lan was a few years older than him, just like his elder brother.
Seeing that his eyes were red at first, Sun Yan was at a loss for what to do. He was not good at coaxing people, so he could only lower his voice, "Don't cry, they will be back and they are already on their way."
"Hmm..." Xiaopang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, but couldn't hold back, "I want to go out of the city to pick him up."
Sun Yan looked at the city gate in embarrassment, "It's not peaceful these days, you can wait, I'll be back soon."
Hearing that Zhi Ming was coming back soon, Qie Feng couldn't help feeling ruthless, and subconsciously tightened his blade.
Xiaopang gritted his teeth and endured, Sun Yan frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? I think you look bad."
"Didn't you say that His Majesty is coming back soon? I want to go out of the city to pick them up."
Thinking that Zhiming said that you should not startle the snake, there are so many people here, and forcing Xiaopang to go back may make people suspicious, so Sun Yan had to remind, "Then be careful."
This is already the second person who asked him to be careful today, but... he just didn't.
After leaving Wengcheng, the carriage galloped all the way, and did not stop until it reached the outskirts.
Xiaopang was dragged and dragged out of the car, followed by Luo Min.
"Brother, quickly unload the horse, this cart is burdensome."
Fatty was held hostage and quietly watched Luo Min unload the horse, and watched him lead the horse over. He remembered that night when the snow was flying. He stood in front of the carriage with a gentle smile. Let me ride together."
Suddenly he felt very tired, his eyes were flickering, thinking of Murongli and Zhiming's journey along the way so much, thinking of Xun Xiao's occasional mention of his and Yuyuan's past... He still has time to figure out the strange things in his heart What's going on with the excitement and disappointment, I suddenly feel very tired.
"Hey! You!" Qie Feng exclaimed as his hands sank suddenly.
Luo Min turned around and saw Xiaopang fainted.
"Little Fatty!" Walking over in three steps at a time, Luo Min snatched Xiaopang from Qie Feng's hand and hugged him, "Little Fatty, Little Fatty!"
A comatose person won't give him any response. Only then did Luo Min see the bright red at Qie Feng's feet, and then slowly took out the hand that was wrapped around the chubby waist. The palm was also bright red, which made people's eyes hurt. He suddenly raised his head and stared coldly at Qie Feng, and at the knife that was stained with bright red.
Qie Feng's scalp was numb from being stared at, and he felt even more baffled, "Why are you staring at me, he is a man of heaven!"
"It's not Tianquan who destroys Tianshu!"
"What's your reasoning?" Qie Feng was also angry, "A friend of an enemy is an enemy!"
Said that Qie Feng drew his sword and was about to cut it off, but was stunned by Luo Min's eyes, and took a long time to withdraw the sword angrily, "I don't know why!"
Luo Min tore off a strand of clothing, wrapped Xiaopang's waist wound, carried him into the car, took off his outer robe and covered him.
He wanted to say something, but found that it was useless to say anything.
After all, there is no words, each of them ends up in the world.
The news of Luo Min's escape reached Zhiming one afternoon, when he was still three days away from the capital.
"Heh, as expected of Zhong Kunyi's disciple." Zhi Ming said calmly.
Although the soldiers who submitted the report didn't see him getting angry, they didn't dare to be negligent, and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, General Sun has ordered people to seal off the passes in various places, and Master Ding has also ordered people to strictly guard all the passes into Tianshu."
"Well, step back." Zhi Ming closed the report, rubbed the bridge of his nose, the report showed that besides Luo Min's escape, there was also the matter of Xiaopang's injury.
"Your Majesty, is the city okay?" Mo Lan asked as soon as the soldiers retreated.
Zhiming paused for a moment, with a complicated expression on his face, and finally handed him the report, "You can read it yourself."
Mo Lan was stunned for a moment, feeling uneasy, and hurriedly took the report and flipped through it quickly. Suddenly, her hands froze, and she suddenly raised her head, "Little Fatty..."
"Don't worry, he's fine, he's awake."
This matter involved Xiaopang for no reason, it was beyond Zhiming's expectation, with half a city separated from east to west, Luo Min did not expect that Luo Min would hold Xiaopang hostage.
It was only then that Mo Lan saw the line on the other page, Sun Yan said that Xiaopang was only injured on the flesh, and he had already woken up.But even so, he still can't rest assured, "Your Majesty, I want to go back first." Following the emperor, no matter how fast he travels, he won't be able to get anywhere soon...
Zhi Ming frowned slightly, but it was hard to stop him. After getting the consent, Mo Lan hurried out of the post house and rode away.
Leaving the study, Zhi Ming went back to the bedroom, but he didn't see Murong Li, he asked the palace staff again, and finally found him in Yu Yuan's wing.Laughter came through the carved wooden window, Murong Li sat on the side of the chessboard, contemplating, suddenly smiled lightly, and said, "You lost."
Yuyuan shook her head and sighed slowly, "As expected of Zhongyuan's chess skills, Yuyuan is convinced!"
Murongli smiled gently, "You are amazing."
He was telling the truth, Yuyuan was born in the Western Regions since she was a child, but she is proficient in Zhongyuan culture, which really impressed him.
"Brother King?" Yuyuan laughed, "If you look at me like that again, His Majesty will be angry."
"Ah?" Murong Li was taken aback, thinking of Zhi Ming, he couldn't help laughing, "He won't."
Zhiming's heart warmed up, and he walked into the room with a smile, "The widow will!"
Seeing Zhiming, Yuyuan hurriedly stroked her heart, and said quite aggrieved, "Oh, your majesty is angry and scared me to death. The elder brother of the country is one person who does things and one person is responsible, so I will withdraw first!"
Seeing the person who played chess just now walk away without any morals, Murongli can only feel that the boat of friendship will turn over at any time.
"Ah Li likes to play chess with Yu Yuan very much recently!" Zhi Ming sat down beside Murong Li, taking him into his arms.
Murong Li said with a smile, "It's rare to meet an opponent at chess."
"Oh, it turns out that Ah Li dislikes the poor chess skills of others." Zhi Ming leaned closer to Murong Li's ear and whispered.
Murong Li couldn't help but laugh, "You are okay."
Being able to get his family's A Li to say "It's okay" is already enough face, Zhi Ming is very self-aware, bit the tip of Murong Li's ear, and muttered, "Yu Yuan has someone she likes."
"What?" Murong Li laughed, "What do you mean?"
"The widow is jealous." She said and bit her pink earlobe again.
It was the first time that Murongli saw someone eat Wuming Fei vinegar so confidently, without blushing, he immediately bowed down, "I just think Yuyuan is very similar to you."
"Like me?" Zhi Ming's eyes widened, "Him? A widow? Where does he look like?"
"Same, pure heart." Murong Li said with a smile.
For the sake of good reviews, I don't care about it. In short, what A Li says is what he says.Zhi Ming smiled and rubbed against his neck, "It's nice to hold you like this."
Murong Li paused for a moment, then said softly, "Is it because Sun Yan's side is not going well?"
Although Zhi Ming kept joking, since he stepped over the threshold, he noticed the hidden worry in his eyes.
Knowing that he couldn't hide it from him, Zhi Ming said frankly, "Luo Min ran away."
"So that's how it is. He is not someone who will be arrested without a fight. We have calculated whether this matter can be achieved. Isn't it only five or five? You don't have to worry." Murong Li said indifferently, "He should not return to Tianshu. The reason why Ding Yuan was sent to the north was because of the dense forests there, which might be Zhong Kunyi’s hiding place, but after all these years, Ding Yuan hasn’t found any clues, so it can be known that he is not there. It is not easy to train soldiers in the middle of the country, and the need for food and grass is also a problem.”
"A Li..." Zhi Ming covered Murongli's hand and sighed heavily.
He was not in a hurry, he didn't know how to tell Murongli, this incident hurt Xiaopang, although he knew that Murongli would know sooner or later, but Zhiming still hoped that this day would come later, he didn't want to break the rare man in front of him. happy.
Afraid that Murongli would think too much, Zhi Ming had no choice but to follow him, "If it's not Tianshu, could it be Kaiyang?"
"It's not impossible. Since ancient times, the most dangerous place is the safest place. It's just that Zuoyi tried so hard to force me to save his life. He certainly wouldn't take the risk."
"This person is arrogant and conceited, how can he see it?"
"Although he is arrogant and arrogant, he is also extremely suspicious. He won't take risks easily after being defeated once, not to mention that he hasn't found the person he is looking for yet."
"Qianyuan?"
Zhi Ming knew Zuo Yi was looking for Qian Yuan.In order to prevent Zuo Yi from being overconfident and wanting to be independent, Tianquan's spies have been dormant in Kaiyang King City. The news that comes back every year is that Zuo Yi is quite safe, and the only big move is that he is looking for Kaiyang City. The mechanism master who disappeared after being broken——Qianyuan.
"Speaking of this, I have something I've always wanted to ask you." Murong Li said.
Zhi Ming looked at those clear pupils carefully, and smiled softly, "Ask."
"Those swords..."
"What sword?" Zhi Ming picked up Murongli's hair, "Yan Zhi? I will keep it for you."
Murongli took his hair out of Zhi Ming's hands, and said seriously, "Don't be stupid, since you are planning to guard against Luo Min, why haven't you read the letter I left for you, the fragments of Liuren, the eight swords, the fragments I didn't find it, but Excalibur, I..."
"I ordered someone to secretly hide in Xiangxu Terrace." Zhi Ming took his words, and continued lazily, "It's not once or twice that Ah Li regards the widow's palace ban as nothing, the widow really should let Sun Yan rectify it Let's go to the inner palace guards."
"Zhi Ming..." Murong Li sighed helplessly, "Have you put it away?"
"Your widow..." Zhi Ming raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I didn't go get it."
"Why!" Murong Li was surprised.
"The widow thinks that Ah Li is well hidden, so... I don't bother to look for it."
"You really are..." Murong Li was speechless.
"Farewell to you." Zhi Ming coaxed carefully, "Actually, I should have told you...the Liuren scroll...is here with you."
"..." Murongli's pupils froze for a long time before hesitating, "Zuo Yi gave it to you?"
Zhiming said with a guilty conscience, "It's... Gen Mochi."
Murong Li looked at Zhi Ming for a moment, then suddenly laughed at himself, "So when we said goodbye in front of the city gate, were you testing me?"
"A Li..." Zhi Ming panicked in his heart, he couldn't explain what happened back then.
Murong Li stared at him thoughtfully, "I always thought that you resented me because of Taifu and Ziyu's affairs."
"It's because of Taifu and Ziyu, no, no, I never hated you, alas, it's not true," Zhi Ming was annoyed, and finally realized what it means to be blackened and blackened, wishing to go back to the past and scratch his ears, " In short, you are a wimpy bastard!"
Finally, Zhi Ming came to a firm conclusion.
Seeing that he was incoherent in a hurry, and his eyes were disturbed, Murongli sighed helplessly, and reached out to caress his side face, "You are not a bastard, you are very stupid."
As he said that, Murong Li laughed, and felt very angry when he smiled, that's right, this person is really stupid!
"Ah Li...", Zhi Ming was in a state of confusion. He felt sorry for the person in front of him at first, but now he felt more guilty, and he was ashamed to hug him. He could only hold his hand, even though he had thousands of words, but Not a word.
Seeing him like this, Murong Li couldn't bear to argue with him, obviously he was the one who was suspected back then, but now he has come to coax him, anyway, who let the person in front of him have such a childish temper...
Murong Li took Zhi Ming into his arms, and said softly, "Just this time, if you dare to doubt me again, I will go back to Yaoguang, and will not go to Tianquan again."
Zhi Ming knows that Murong Li is not a person who clings to the past, but he also knows that the word "trust" is what he cares most about, so he secretly swears that such a stupid thing will never be done again.
His A Li, so good, better than anything in the world, was exactly the person he wanted to be by his side to raise, pamper, and walk side by side with him since he was a child.He didn't look for those swords because they were meaningless to him, all he cared about was the person in his arms, the country was peaceful, and the warehouse was rich, just because the person in his arms expected so much, he felt that he couldn't live up to it.
Murongli cherished the world, so he cherished Murongli.
