The wind blows the plum blossoms over Guanshan

Spring is over, and the peach blossoms have already fallen.The sparrows chirped in front of the window, pecking at the wooden window and tinkling.Murong Zhaohui came back to his senses and realized that it was already the beginning of June.And Changsheng... disappeared for almost three months.

That day Chang Sheng said he was going to go to the deck to have a wind, he thought he would only go out for a while, but then he lost contact.He didn't come back late at night, and several people were looking for him on the boat, but Changsheng seemed to have evaporated in the world, and his shadow could not be found.He had negotiated with the ship's owner Liu Kui and Feng Sect Leader of the Wulin League, and the two readily agreed to help him find it, but until the flower boat docked, they searched all the places on the boat, but there was still no sign of Changsheng.

Some people said that Changsheng might have fallen into the water, so he asked a group of guards to row a boat and search around on Dongting Lake. They searched in Baishui Town for nearly a month, but there was no one alive or dead.Jingzhou urgently urged him to return.After returning to Jingzhou, many troops were dispatched, but until today there is still no news.

The Chixiao Sword hanging on the wall is a gift he intends to give to Changsheng on his 16th birthday.March [-]th is Changsheng's birthday, and he took this sword with him when he went to Dongting, in order to give it to him on his birthday.But now Chixiaojian is here alone, without a person who loves swords.

Recently, Murong Zhaohui often dreamed that the child died. After waking up, he realized that it was just a dream, but the more he thought about it, the more chilling he felt.A living person, how can he disappear without seeing it?Changsheng... Where did you go?

Strolling to the back garden, Murong Zhaohui was surprised to find that there were several red lotuses standing on the water surface in the pond, half open and half closed, with a unique style.However, he clearly remembered that when he first came to Chu Palace, the pond was not planted with red lotus, but ordinary lotus, the most common variety in the south of the Yangtze River.He called Cui Wan, the steward of the palace, and after asking, he found out that when he first moved to Chu Palace, Changsheng discussed with him to replace the lotus in the lotus pond with red lotus.

Recalling last year's Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang Sheng told him that he would plant a pool of red lotus for him, which made him feel like he was by the pool of red lotus in Chudi.Didn't expect it to actually grow...

"Your Highness, it's already noon, it's time to eat." Xiao Shuang reminded at the right time behind Murong Zhaohui.Since Young Master Changsheng disappeared, His Highness has been depressed, and there is nothing to make him happy.Xiao Shuang wanted Murong Zhaohui to be more cheerful, but he was powerless.

"Understood, you go down first." Murong Zhaohui looked at a blue dragonfly on the lotus leaf, thinking about Changsheng when he was young. On the night of his 13th birthday, by the red lotus pond, Changsheng asked his name, but he didn't answer, he just pointed the way back to the banquet venue, unexpectedly, he met him again when he chose the prince to accompany him.He is the son of Sikong Menghun. His father is a high official, but he is only an official in charge of water conservancy and construction. He does not have much right to speak in the court.He wanted to choose children whose fathers had higher official positions, but those children would definitely be chosen by the rest of the princes.He has no hope of inheriting the great power, even if he chooses a child with a high-ranking father, it will not have much effect on him, but it will hinder the career of others.

That day, he was maliciously reported the wrong time, and he came a little late.In order to avoid the dissatisfaction of other princes, he deliberately waited until everyone had finished the election before choosing.Seeing that Changsheng was not chosen by other people, I thought it might be fate.He wanted to ask for someone, but he glanced at Murong Dexin, but stopped.That person Murong Dexin seemed to be against him from birth, bullying and making things difficult for him in every possible way on weekdays, if he asked for longevity, he probably won't get it.Unexpectedly, the man pushed Changsheng into his hands.

This boy Changsheng is really not suitable for studying, he is naughty and active, and often loses his mind after studying for a while.On weekdays, he also likes to climb trees and dig out bird's nests. He secretly picked rare flowers in the imperial garden several times, and let Xiaoshuang and Yanzi make desserts.He turned a blind eye to these things, pretending he couldn't see them.He is not used to being close to people, even Changsheng is the same.Changsheng and him are not related, how can anyone in the world be nice to others for no reason?But... these have all been broken over the years.

Changsheng is a simple child, with a clear distinction between good and evil, jealous of evil, and good to others for no reason.It was only before he left the palace last year that he realized that Changsheng already had an important place in his heart.After his mother, Changsheng was the closest person to him. He was used to having Changsheng by his side, but at this time, the heaven took him away as a joke.

Murong Zhaohui thought about the past carefully, staring at a pool of red lotus that was about to bloom in a daze.Jiang Ling stood behind him, kneeling on one knee.

"Your Highness."

Murong Zhaohui came back to his senses, and quickly asked, "Is there any news this time?"

"The subordinates are incompetent, and there is no news about Young Master Changsheng for the time being."

"Have you searched all around?"

"Baishui Town and the surrounding places have been searched."

Murong Zhaohui stared at a pool of red lotuses that were about to bloom, and said, "Go to a farther place to look for them, and send more people."

"Yes."

"Wait!" Murong Zhaohui looked at a pool of clear water, and slowly said: "Chi Lu... Chi Lu... I didn't see him on the boat for a few days, and he was clearly qualified to board the boat, why didn't he come on board?" The boat? Or...he got on the boat and disappeared without anyone noticing..."

"The king of Chu is suspicious of him?"

Murong Zhaohui nodded and asked, "Where is the Wuling County Mansion located?"

"In Chenyang, west of Wuling County."

"Okay, let's go together this time. This king is going to Wuling to investigate the people's sentiments. Even if...you can't find longevity, it's not in vain."

Murong Zhaohui took the carriage and headed west.Along the way, we hurried on and arrived at Chenyang on the evening of the third day.The mountain road was difficult, the carriage kept shaking, and the horses and horses were exhausted along the way, Murong Zhaohui really suffered a lot.But thinking that Changsheng might be waiting for him somewhere, he couldn't wait.

The carriage stopped in front of the gate of Wuling County Mansion, Long Junyue saw that the visitors were in great numbers, so he came out to greet them personally.The curtain in front of the carriage was gently lifted by a maidservant, and an extremely handsome young man stepped down.Jun Yue thought that there were countless beauties in his family. His mother, second younger brother, third younger brother and his wife all had extremely good-looking faces, but this young man was rare in the world. And a little more heroic than the charming woman.

Jun Yue respectfully said: "Jun Yue is waiting here on behalf of my father, the prefect of Wuling, who is the distinguished guest?"

Next to the young man, a well-dressed man of about [-] years old said loudly: "The king of Chu is here, and he wants to rest in your place for a few days and check the people's conditions."

"It turned out to be the king's visit, so I'm far away to welcome you!" Jun Yue hurriedly greeted him, welcomed the group into the Wuling County Mansion, and sent two more people to the Dragon Mansion to invite his father.Jun Yue heard that the new King of Chu came to Jingzhou last year, but he never expected that he would come to such a remote place in person, let alone that the King of Chu was such a handsome young man.

The king of Chu didn't talk much, and most of the time he just sat quietly.He seemed to be very interested in his family, so he answered truthfully, only omitting the new "third brother".This child was brought back by Chi Lu, maybe he won't stay here for long, so it's better not to mention it.He was a poor child who accidentally heard about Murong Zhi, but fortunately he was saved by his second brother.Coincidentally, that child is really similar to the third brother who died young. With him around, my mother has been much happier recently.

"Chen Wuling County Governor Long Yuan, I greet His Highness the King of Chu." Long Yuan bowed to Murong Zhaohui, and Murong Zhaohui quickly helped him up. "I don't know if His Royal Highness is coming to visit, and I will be far away from welcoming you."

"It's because the king didn't inform you in advance. Prefect Long is not guilty."

Several people chatted for a while, Long Yuan looked at the sky, the setting sun was about to set down the mountain.He thought that the king of Chu must have had a hard time traveling all the way, and the post station in the Wuling County Mansion was relatively simple, so he said: "Your Highness, it's getting late and the post house is simple and simple, please go to the minister's house for a short stay. I don't know... Your Highness is coming this time. Come to investigate the situation of the people, how long will you stay?"

Murong Zhaohui thought for a while, and said, "It can be five or six days at least, and more than ten days at most. These days, I need to trouble the eunuch to take care of me."

"It's my honor to receive His Highness, so why bother?"

Murong Zhaohui followed Longyuan Long Junyue and his party to Longfu, leaving only a few cronies by his side, more than half of the accompanying guards stayed in the post house.Murong Zhaohui looked at the layout of the Dragon Mansion. Although the house was built big, the decoration was simple and unadorned. There seemed to be not many servants in the house, so it seemed that he was a clean and honest official.He sat down at the table, and a sumptuous meal was served.Everyone in the family has seen her before, Mrs. Long is a peaceful woman, she should be around forty years old, but she can still be called young and beautiful.The eldest son, Long Junyue, who received him has already married. His wife is charming and beautiful, and he has a beautiful and lovely son. The family is harmonious and harmonious, which is enviable.It's just that the target person of this trip has disappeared.

"Jun Yue, where is your second brother now? Why don't you see him alone?" Murong Zhaohui asked casually.

Long Junyue said with a faint smile: "Second brother likes to travel, he is outside now and has not returned home."

"Has he been away from home for a long time?"

"No...it's not too long, I went back last month."

"Aren't the family worried?"

"Second brother will take good care of himself. If he doesn't plan to go home after a long time, he will ask someone to bring a letter back."

"He travels alone?"

"Yeah, the second brother has a laid-back personality and is used to being alone. He often travels alone and rarely travels with others..."

Murong Zhaohui pondered for a while, thinking that Chi Lu's whereabouts were normal, if he brought Changsheng home, his family would know.Besides, the Wuling prefect had no reason to hide Changsheng.Could it be that this thread is also broken?Thinking about this, Murong Zhaohui couldn't help but feel lost.
