The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

In the evening, the sky is covered with red clouds.Chang Sheng sat on the railing by the corridor, leaning against the pillar, looking at the two half-bloomed peach blossoms in the courtyard, and fell into wild thoughts.Did he think too much, so at night he always dreamed of Murong Zhaohui, dreaming that he was holding him, and... Changsheng shook his head violently, and decided not to think about it anymore.Two cats on the wall meowed, approached slowly, and entangled their necks.Changsheng looked at the pink peach blossoms in the setting sun, listened to the ear-piercing meowing of the cat, and wondered if it was because the cat was in heat, and he followed suit, and the object of heat was so amazing...

Chang Sheng felt that the object of his erotic dreams was Murong Zhaohui, probably because he hadn't met many women, especially those of the same age.Except for Xiaoshuang and Yanzi, there were many little maids in Chu Palace, but he didn't look at them carefully, and he didn't pay attention to whether they were good-looking or not.And those little maids are mostly for display, except for Xiaoshuang and Yanzi, there is no one to serve them close.The rest are men, not even the actors are women.It should be... that Murong Zhaohui is the most beautiful among the people he has come into contact with, that's why he has these thoughts that he shouldn't have...

"Changsheng, what are you doing? If you continue to pull this peach tree down like this, you will bald it."

Chang Sheng came to his senses, seeing that it was Murong Zhaohui who came, he panicked for a moment.Just when he was upset, he picked up a lot of peach blossoms one by one, and scattered the broken petals and unopened flower buds all over the ground.

"Your Highness..."

Murong Zhaohui frowned slightly: "Didn't you tell me, just call me by my name, why have you started seeing strangers recently?"

Looking at Murong Zhaohui's clear eyes in the setting sun, Chang Sheng's heart felt like a deer.

Murong Zhaohui approached step by step, and said softly: "Changsheng, recently Xu Wenwen and Lu Fang have said that you are a little absent-minded, do you feel tired and your homework is too heavy?"

Chang Sheng shook his head, blaming himself for being so cranky lately, even his masters could see that he was absent-minded.

"I don't have any important political affairs recently. You can accompany me to Dongting. The spring in Dongting is just right, and it would be a pity to miss the spring."

Chang Sheng glanced at Murong Zhaohui in surprise, and Murong Zhaohui reached out and touched the top of his head.Chang Sheng blushed, quietly looking at the person in front of him, fortunately it happened to be sunset, the sky was full of rays of light, Murong Zhaohui certainly couldn't see his blushing.

"I heard that knights from the rivers and lakes will gather in Dongting in March to hold a martial arts competition. As the king of Chu, I naturally want to see the demeanor of heroes and youths in Chu. Changsheng, haven't you always wanted to go to Dongting?"

Changsheng nodded, a smile finally appeared on his face.

"That's good, you go and prepare what you want to bring, and set off the next morning."

From Jingzhou to Dongting, half by water and half by land, you can enjoy the scenery of lakes and mountains.Because they were not in a hurry, they arrived at the south bank of Dongting on the fourth day and stayed in a small town called Baishui Town.The King of Chu's trips were kept secret, and he didn't bring many followers. Except for the top martial arts fighters, he only brought Xiaoshuang Yanzi and others to wait on him.

Baishui Town is under the jurisdiction of Changsha County, and the small town next door belongs to Wuling County. The place where the two counties meet is the most likely to lead to unmanaged situations, so it has become a good place for martial arts contestants.At the junction of counties and counties, the prefects on both sides are not easy to intervene in the management, so if the trouble is bigger, it will be a major event and a minor matter.The martial arts atmosphere in Chu is very strong, and there are many knights in the rivers and lakes. Every year, there will be a martial arts competition at the junction of Wuling County and Changsha County, attracting martial arts practitioners from various counties and counties in Chu and even further places to compete.Baishui Town is small, but there are quite a few inns, lined up row by row, and restaurants and teahouses are also one after another.Every year in the martial arts tournament, many heroes would come to lodge. Today, five days before the martial arts tournament starts, people have come to lodge one after another. If they come a few days later, there may be no place to stay.

The inn they are staying in now is called Zhenbao Inn, and it is the best inn in Baishui Town. When they arrived, there were only two guest rooms left in Tianzihao, and Murong Zhaohui and Changsheng lived in one each.Chang Sheng felt that it was a waste for him to live in such a large room, and wanted to live in an ordinary room with Xiao Shuang and the others, but Murong Zhaohui insisted that Chang Sheng lived next door to better protect his safety.

On the first night of staying here, Changsheng found that the two Tianzi brand rooms opposite were not occupied. After asking the waiter, he found out that these two rooms had already been booked and paid for, but the guests had not yet arrived. .The daily cost of staying in a Tianzihao guest room is 15 taels. Although this price is not astronomical, it is the cost of half a year for an ordinary small family in this area, and ordinary people cannot afford it.And these two guests paid the money but didn't stay. Isn't this throwing money for nothing?What a waste.

Chang Sheng leaned against the window, watching the bustling market below, playing with a peach branch picked from the backyard of the inn.A kind of excitement surged in the body, and it became more and more restless.The rivers and lakes... the rivers and lakes... He had only read about them in novels, but now a real rivers and lakes are about to appear in front of his eyes, how can he not be excited?He took out the bamboo flute tied around his waist, casually put it to his mouth and blew it gently, and a song "Folding Willow" came out. Although "Folding Willow" is a song that hurts the spring and says goodbye, Changsheng is in a happy mood, and it sounds a little cheerful when played.The trip to Dongting really made him dilute the things that he had been thinking about a few days ago.

Sitting at the window, you can see the boats coming from the ferry in the distance. A large boat is slowly approaching. Changsheng stares at the white clouds in the distance and a few egrets on the lake, and replaces "Folding Willows" with "Plum Blossom Falling".At present, he can only play these two pieces completely, and he has not learned anything else.

A group of people got off the boat, the leader was wearing a bamboo hat, covered his face with a black veil, was wearing black clothes, and had a sword around his waist.Although he couldn't see his face, judging from his attire, he looked like a very mysterious figure.Changsheng watched the pedestrian walking slowly towards this side, and went straight to the downstairs of the Zhenbao Inn.The owner of Zhenbao Inn hurriedly and enthusiastically greeted them in, much more warmly than he and Murong Zhaohui yesterday, he seemed to be distinguished guests.

Changsheng moved his body, but unexpectedly dropped the branch of peach blossom. He quickly lowered his head to look down, and the branch of peach blossom happened to be pinched by a person behind the man in black.The man looked up at Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng was taken aback for a moment. Before Chang Sheng could take a closer look, a faint smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth, and followed the man in black into the inn.

Chang Sheng was in a trance when there was a slight knock on the door outside. "Young Master Changsheng, can I come in?" It was Xiao Shuang's voice.Chang Sheng hurriedly ran to open the door and said, "Is there something wrong, Miss Shuang?" Xiao Shuang walked into the guest room and put the clothes in her hands neatly in the closet next to the bed: "This is what I changed two days ago. The clothes have been washed and dried. Also, Dian...Mr. Mu asked you to have lunch downstairs, saying that you have used it and go out for a walk."

"I'm sorry, little sister."

Xiao Shuang smiled and said: "It should be, Young Master Changsheng, it's been so long, why are you still being polite to your servants?"

Changsheng took his saber and was about to go out, but the man in black came oncoming, and the man behind him was still holding the peach branch that he accidentally dropped just now. "Chi Lu, I'm sorry to trouble you on this journey." The man in black spoke in a calm voice and walked steadily, which seemed to be skillful.Changsheng looked at his clothes again, the black clothes were embroidered with gold silk, the waist was wrapped with a jade belt, and the sword he was wearing was inlaid with countless jewels, his wealth was extraordinary.

"Mr. Rong, where is this? Chi Lu should accompany you on a trip." The tone was very polite, even with a little alienation.

Seeing the person named Chi Lu, Chang Sheng was startled again, seeing that he was still holding the peach branch that he had just dropped, Chang Sheng was a little uncomfortable.When the man in black entered his guest room, the man named Chi Lu suddenly turned around and smiled at Chang Sheng: "Young master, what do you call him?"

"My...my surname is Meng, you can call me Changsheng."

"My name is Chi Lu, and I live right across from you. Thank you for your peach blossoms."

Chi Lu's age should be older than Changsheng's. Compared with the man in Xuanyi, his clothes are very ordinary. It's just ordinary white clothes, and the materials are also ordinary materials. With his long black hair left alone, he looks a little lazy .He is tall and tall, about half a head taller than Chang Sheng, with a short dagger on his waist.Ordinary dagger, nothing special.

Chi Lu gave Changsheng a strange feeling.He is very gentle and has a good appearance. Although his face is not as delicate as Murong Zhaohui's, he is very agile. His speech or movements seem natural, and even if he says polite words, he doesn't feel artificial.Chang Sheng felt that this was due to his eyes, which were very clear, like a stream that had just rushed out of the mountains.If Murong Zhaohui is a fairy in the sky, this pool of green is like a mountain god in the Xiaoxiang mountains.Although his appearance is very ordinary, it is difficult to regard him as an ordinary person. Even if he is an ordinary person, in terms of temperament, he is at least a very special person...

This is the second time Changsheng is nervous in front of strangers.He scratched his palms, looked at Chi Lu's slender back when he entered the door, his eyes were attracted unconsciously, it was not until Chi Lu entered the room and closed the door that Chang Sheng came back to his senses and hurried downstairs.Murong Zhaohui was still waiting for him.
