Looking for plums under the moon

"Excuse me, can I sit here for a while?" A purple-robed man walked to the table of the two of them, looked at Ling Guyue, and waved the folding fan in his hand boastfully.

Little did they know that shaking the fan in such a season would look like a fool to others.

Shen Luo already looked at the man very displeased.

The purple-robed man didn't realize it, and just glanced at Ling Guyue.

Ling Guyue coughed, although she saw that there were still many empty tables and chairs around, she was too embarrassed to refuse him, so she nodded and said, "Please."

"Thank you," the purple-robed man shook his hem, happily sat on Ling Guyue's right side, cupped his hands and said, "Next Zhang Yi, I don't know what to call you two?"

Although he was asking the two of them, his gaze never left Ling Guyue in front of him, so he naturally ignored the gloomy aura emanating from Shen Luo's body.

Ling Guyue smiled, "Le Guling, this is my junior brother Luo Chen."

Shen Luo stared at Zhang Yi without saying a word.

Zhang Yi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Mr. Le. I just saw that Mr. Le seems to be very interested in the story Mr. told?"

Ling Guyue raised her eyebrows and said, "It's okay."

"Then Mr. Le, do you think Prince Du will be..." Zhang Yi gestured to wipe his neck, "I don't think Prince Du is dead."

"Oh?" Ling Guyue blinked, "How can I see that?"

Covering his face with a fan, Zhang Yi approached Ling Guyue and said in a low voice: "There is an elder in my family who was seeking employment in Jinling more than ten years ago. He said that it was not Prince Du who was beheaded on the street that day, but the real Du The prince has already been dropped... It's just that this matter involves a lot, and it seems to be the meaning of the above, so no one dares to ask more questions, so let's forget it..."

Ling Guyue nodded, "It seems that Prince Du was taken away by Qiu Chenggu."

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "Although the two of them have retired, I think the female general may not be willing to be with Prince Du."

Ling Guyue thought that he had some great ideas, and only heard him say triumphantly: "It's a matter of course for women to observe festivals. Since Qiu Chenggu is already with Jiang He, if she is the wife of Prince Du again, wouldn't she be criticized by others? What face does she have to face Jiang He under the Nine Springs?"

Ling Guyue saw that his appearance was upright and his manners were elegant, but when she said such words, she seemed to be smiling but said: "Don't you hear that the wish wins one's heart, and the white head is not separated? Qiu Chenggu used deep affection, Presumably it was because he couldn't forget Jiang He, and it was definitely not because of worldly views that he rejected Prince Du."

Zhang Yi touched his nose in embarrassment, silently took back the folding fan, and said embarrassingly: "Mr. Le is right..."

Ling Guyue saw that his accent was not like a person in Jianghu, so she asked: "Just now I heard Brother Zhang say that the elders of the family are working in Jinling, is it possible that Brother Zhang is also a member of the court?"

Hearing this, Zhang Yi calmed down, cupped his hands and said humbly, "I dare not call you a member of the imperial court, but fortunately the emperor has accepted a small official position, and now he is here to take up the post in Shu."

"Ah, so that's the case," Ling Guyue understood, "I don't know why Brother Zhang came to Luofu Mountain?"

Zhang Yi said with a smile: "It is said that Pingnan is the most beautiful place in Shu, and Luofu Mountain is the most mysterious in Pingnan. This is the place where fairies descended in the past. Recently, I have time to visit here."

Ling Guyue nodded.

At this time, a servant-like servant walked up to the three of them, and respectfully said to Zhang Yi: "Master, the master of the state capital invites you to drink."

"Now?" Zhang Yi frowned.

The boy said: "The uncle said that we made an appointment with the master at this time."

"Okay, you go down first," Zhang Yi waved his hand, and after the boy left, he turned his head to Ling Guyue and said courteously, "I don't know if Mr. Le needs help with something? I have been here for a few days, yes The customs of Luofu Mountain are somewhat familiar, if you don't dislike it, let me be the host, and take the two of you to enjoy it tomorrow, what do you think, Mr. Le?"

Ling Guyue declined politely: "Thank you Brother Zhang for your kindness, but we are still waiting for someone and have no intention of going out to play."

"That's really unfortunate..." Zhang Yi put his hands on the table with a look of regret.I don't know if he did it on purpose, put his fingertips against Ling Guyue's, and caressed the back of his hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"Boom!" Shen Luo slammed the teacup on the table.

"This...Young Master?" Zhang Yi was taken aback by him, and didn't realize what his name was for a moment.

Ling Guyue moved her hand away, took a look at Shen Luo, and told him to be calm.

Seeing that Shen Luo was just staring at him, Zhang Yi felt terrified and didn't dare to look at him again. He got up and said to Ling Guyue, "If Mr. Le has any needs, just come to me. I will be at the Tianzi shop on the second floor of the inn for a few days. in the room."

Ling Guyue gave a dry laugh, "Thank you."

Seeing that Zhang Yi still refused to leave, Shen Luo suddenly said coldly, "Young Master Zhang."

"Huh?" Zhang Yi glanced at him suspiciously, "What's the matter, my lord?"

"Are you afraid to die?" Shen Luo raised his eyes, and a frosty and snow-like glint suddenly appeared in his eyes.

"Brother!" Ling Guyue was afraid that he would make some unexpected move again, so she hurriedly interrupted him, turned to Zhang Yi and said, "Since Brother Zhang has something to do, go and do it first, let's sit down for a while."

Zhang Yi looked at Shen Luo thoughtfully, seeing that he lowered his head and didn't say anything, he cupped his hands at Ling Guyue, and said with a smile: "Mr. Le, let's leave it for now."

"There will be a period later."

After Zhang Yi left, Shen Luo still sat there with his head down, sullen.

Ling Guyue said helplessly: "It's just that he touched his hand, why are you angry?"

Shen Luo took his hand and held it in his hand, then covered his face again, and said viciously: "That kind of person...is he worthy of touching senior brother?"

Ling Guyue was taken aback for a moment, only feeling a warm stream dripping from his palm, he asked in surprise, "What's wrong with you?"

Shen Luo raised his face, his eyes were already flushed, "Senior brother once said that I love family, but I am not family-loving. If senior brother is willing, I am willing to follow him everywhere, but I hate other people's eyes on senior brother's face. , that would drive me crazy with jealousy

......"

Ling Guyue was stunned, touched his head and said: "When others look at me, can I still cover his eyes? Since I can't control others, I can just control myself." Laughed, and said , "Besides, Junior Brother, why do you look like a little girl? Your heart is only as big as a grain of rice."

Shen Luo put his hand on his cheek, and said softly, "I'm just narrow-minded." From the corner of the eye, he glanced at the place where Zhang Yi disappeared, "No one can bully senior brother..."

"Okay, I didn't say anything, let's wait for Luyuan." Ling Guyue pulled back her hand and poured a cup of tea, took a sip and continued to look out the window.

It was early winter, and it was extremely cold in the mountain city. People on the street put on thick cotton robes one after another, and some even took out sheepskin hats, revealing a simple atmosphere everywhere.

In the crowd, a group of people who were incompatible with the rest suddenly appeared. They were all big and strong men with weapons hanging on their waists, and a carriage followed closely behind them.

A girl lifted the curtain from the carriage, poked her head out to look at the city, and put her hand down after a while.

Ling Guyue put down the porcelain cup in her hand, and said calmly: "They are here."

Shen Luo looked down and saw that group of people walked to the door of the inn, stopped to look at the signboard, and asked the girl in the carriage.

Soon, the girl slowly walked out of the carriage, glanced at the Fuluo Mountain surrounded by smoke and clouds above her head, nodded, and led a group of people in.

"Girl, shall we stay here tonight?"

The girl said: "This place is no worse than Jiangnan. The mountains are high and the roads are far away. You must not be able to go up today, and you are all tired these days. Why don't you take a good night's rest and recharge your batteries. We will start our journey tomorrow morning."

"Yes, girl." Hearing what she said, the big man walked to the counter and seemed to discuss with the shopkeeper about the guest room.

Shen Luo looked at the girl and said, "She seems to have some ideas..."

Ling Guyue nodded. In his impression, Lu Yuan was always a shy girl, but he did not forget that Qing Chan once told him that Lin Jue and the backyard were all taken care of by Lu Yuan. It seems that she is not as weak as the surface.

Looking downstairs, Lu Yuan was also looking around the inn, and when she looked up, she happened to meet Ling Guyue's eyes, and she was startled suddenly.

Ling Guyue smiled at her, "Long time no see."

Seeing that Lu Yuan turned around and said a few words to the big man, she went upstairs with her skirt and walked towards Ling Guyue.

"Young Master Feiyi, I never expected to meet you here," Lu Yuan smiled at Ling Guyue, then looked at Shen Luo who was opposite Ling Guyue, nodded, "I've met the head of Pingchuan."

Shen Luo nodded slightly.

Ling Guyue said: "Miss Luyuan, please sit down."

Lu Yuan didn't refuse, glanced between the two of them after sitting down, and asked: "Could it be that the two of you are going to Jiaochen Pavilion too?"

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "Pingchuan has a lot of contacts with Jiaochen Pavilion, this time I passed by here, and I came to visit one or two. By the way, Miss Luyuan, why don't you see your landlord?"

Hearing the word 'landlord', Lu Yuan's face changed suddenly, and hesitantly said: "We are also looking for the landlord..."

Ling Guyue pretended to be puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"

Lu Yuan looked distressed, "To tell you the truth, when the owner took a boat to this place half a month ago, he encountered a storm on the way and fell into the river accidentally... We searched around for a long time, but found nothing."

Ling Guyue said: "Did you find it downstream?"

Lu Yuan nodded, "I ordered people to search all the tens of miles of dangerous beaches along the river, but I didn't even see the corner of the landlord's clothes."

Ling Guyue thought in her heart: Lin Jue is a thoughtful person, and he will definitely leave a way out for himself. If he drowned in the river like this after all the tricks are exhausted, wouldn't it be a waste of success, making people laughable?Moreover, no one was alive or dead, so he must have landed somewhere...

He comforted her and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing not to be found, maybe he has been rescued, but I don't know how to contact you."

Lu Yuan gritted her teeth and said: "I hope so, but we only brought a dozen people with us when we came out, and the third master still stayed in Jinling and did not go with us, so manpower is limited, so I thought of nearby Luofu Mountain to ask Jiaochen Pavilion for help."

Ling Guyue knew that she deliberately concealed the purpose of this trip, and she did not expose it, and asked, "I wonder when Miss Luyuan plans to go up the mountain?"

Lu Yuan said worriedly: "The landlord's life or death is uncertain, so there is no need to delay. We will set off tomorrow morning."

Ling Guyue said: "It just so happens that our two brothers and sisters are also going to Jiaochen Pavilion, why not go together?"

Lu Yuan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Of course it's the best. We are worried that the people in Jiaochen Pavilion will deliberately make things difficult. With the head of Pingchuan, it must not be difficult."

Ling Guyue took a look at Shen Luo, seeing that he was still lacking in interest, holding a purple sand pot to drink by herself, so she replied for him: "So, we will set off early tomorrow morning."

"By the way," he reminded, "Jiaochen Pavilion never likes men to go, you take them..." Looking at a group of big men downstairs, "I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome."

Lu Yuan thought for a while, and said decisively: "Then let them wait here, and I will go with you two."

Ling Guyue smiled and said: "If you can trust us, girl, of course you can."

Lu Yuan also smiled, "Young Master Scarlet Clothes, of course I can trust you. Since the young master left, the host has mentioned you to us many times..."

"Oh." Ling Guyue was surprised, "What did he say?"

"The landlord said that if Mr. Feiyi hadn't misunderstood him, he would really be willing to make friends with him..."

make friends?Been fooled by him over and over again and still say that he wants to make friends with him?Ling Guyue really didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh, so she could only feel sorry for Lin Jue's clever words.

He chuckled lightly and said, "I don't dare to be a friend, as long as he doesn't treat me as an enemy, he will be lucky."

Lu Yuan sighed, "I really hope to see the landlord come back and explain clearly to Young Master Fei Yi."

"Don't worry, girl, he will be fine."

"hope so."

After discussing with Lu Yuan, seeing her going downstairs with a lot of thoughts, Ling Guyue said in a low voice: "She doesn't seem to be surprised about my identity at all."

Shen Luo said: "It must be Lin Jue who told her the identity of the senior brother. The last time I went to Shuyinglou, Lin Jue did not avoid many things about this woman. Her status must not be simple."

Ling Guyue thought about it, and indeed, Lin Jue was obviously more at ease with this mysterious girl than Qing Chan.He was puzzled again, didn't Lin Jue keep her just to get the Red Medicine King?Why tell her some secret things?Wouldn't it be easy to get out of hand?

Shen Luo poured a cup of tea into his cup, "Brother, you don't have to think so much, the cunning rabbit has three holes, that fox Lin Jue will definitely not put himself in danger."

Ling Guyue smiled and thought: I hope so.

He took a sip of tea and looked towards the sky, the distance was open, dark clouds and the misty Luofu Mountain were pressing down on the small town, and the north wind was gradually blowing in with the chill of early winter.

The next day, Ling Guyue and Shen Luo went downstairs together, only to see that Lu Yuan had packed her bags and was ready to go.

"I've been waiting for a long time." Ling Guyue blushed rarely, coughed, and the three of them left the inn together.

At this time, the sky was still bright, and there were no pedestrians on the street except those who yelled and sold breakfast.

Ling Guyue asked: "Girl Luyuan, do you know where you fell into the water?"

Green kite said: "After we went ashore, we heard from people living nearby that it was called Hongshi Bay."

"Red Stone Bay?" Shen Luo suddenly said, "When you fell into the water, was it day or night?"

"In the evening, the sky was already dark, so I couldn't see where the host was drifting to."

"What?" Ling Guyue cast him a questioning look.

Shen Luo said: "Red Stone Bay is connected to the South Peak of Luofu Mountain. If you go from there to Jiaochen Pavilion, it is also a road, but that road is mostly cliffs, and it is much more difficult than this road."

Ling Guyue heard the words, and murmured: "Maybe after he landed... went to Jiaochen Pavilion by himself?"

Lu Yuan always thought that Lin Jue came to Jiaochen Pavilion for her own sake. Besides, he didn't use martial arts at all, so how could he climb the towering mountain?So it was just a joke and I didn't care.

To sink is to meditate.

Just after leaving the city, Shen Luo's complexion suddenly changed, and he stopped in his tracks.

"What?" Ling Guyue and Lu Yuan both looked back at him.

Shen Luo said: "I left something in the inn."

"what?"

Shen Luo looked at the empty hand, "Cold Light Sword."

Ling Guyue frowned, in order to cover up his loss of martial arts, Shen Luo often kept his sword close to him, but this time he left in a hurry, probably because he left such an important thing in the room.

"I'll go back to get the sword. Senior brother and Lu Yuan will go first. I'll come as soon as I get the sword," Shen Luo said.

Ling Guyue said worriedly: "I'll go with you."

Shen Luo looked at the green kite beside him, and said meaningfully: "Brother, don't worry about me, I'll go back as soon as I go."

Ling Guyue also felt that it was not safe to leave Luyuan alone in this wilderness, so she nodded and said, "Be careful."

Shen Luo smiled, "Brother, don't worry." After saying that, he turned around and left.

In order to wait for the sinking, the two walked slowly on the path up the mountain. After burning incense, they suddenly heard the sound of messy footsteps coming from the path behind them.

Ling Guyue said "huh?", and said to Lu Yuan, "Could it be that Junior Brother took back the sword so quickly?"

Someone chased after them panting heavily, and shouted behind them: "Master...brother!"

But it was not a sinking voice.

Ling Guyue looked back, and saw Xiao Qiu running over panting, out of breath, and said: "Senior brother... Hurry up, go back to the inn, Shen, brother Shen... He is going to kill someone!"
