[Sword Three] The general will return or not

Chapter 9

The annual Fahua Festival is the most grand festival in Chunyang. During the festival, not only the imperial court will send people to watch the ceremony, but also all the sects in the world will also come to congratulate. The reception work is complicated and time-consuming.

The five sons of Chunyang each perform their duties, and it is difficult to spare time to arrange everything in detail, so they are handed over to the younger generation of disciples every year. This year, it is Yu Rui's disciple Hua Zhu who is in charge of the reception.

After Ling Yan helped Master prepare the things needed for the sacrifice, he was sent to help Senior Brother Hua Zhu.Hua Zhu, who was so busy, saw that Ling Yan's eyes lit up when he saw that there was no shortage of young, upright, well-behaved and gentle Taoist priests in Chunyang Palace, but there were very few of them who were senior enough to come to help.

It is enough for ordinary martial arts people to send a little boy to lead the way, but if people from various sects come, the head of the sect has no time to receive them in person, and it makes sense to let the apprentices do it for them.

Hua Zhu couldn't find a suitable candidate everywhere, and Ling Yan's arrival just solved his urgent need.Hua Zhu also understood the intention of the head of the sect. After the Fahua Festival, Ling Yan has reached the age of going down the mountain to practice. Taking this opportunity to let him get to know more famous martial arts people will be of great benefit to him in the future.

Hua Zhu asked Ling Yan to follow him. The people who came earlier were all ordinary martial arts people, and they were not too busy. Hua Zhu took the time to introduce to Ling Yan the people who might be sent by the various sects to watch the ceremony, and said some attention matters, and finally told my little junior brother, "When the time comes, just pick anyone who is pleasing to the eye and tell me, and I will let you receive him."

Ling Yan followed Hua Zhu all morning, and he was dizzy when he recognized people. During this period, people from Wanhua, Qixiu, and the Beggar Gang all came. Among them, a long-haired Hua brother from Wanhua Valley turned his ink pen in his hand, pointed at Ling Yan, and smiled. Zhao Hua said: "Brother Hua, your little brother is born with a sign, let him follow me in these two days."

Brother Hua obviously smiled gently, but for some reason, Ling Yan felt a layer of cold sweat crawling up his back. He had heard his senior brothers and sisters complain that Wanhua Valley was all warm and dark, but seeing him today really lived up to his reputation.

Ling Yan was so frightened that he shook his head again and again, Brother Hua sighed pretending to be sorry, and said, "Are you really not coming? I have a clear water here."

clear water!The dream of thousands of baa baa in Chunyang Palace!Ling Yan visibly wavered for a moment, then shook his head firmly as if he had made up his mind after a while.

Hua Zhu seemed to know Brother Hua very well, and he pushed him away with a smile, "Don't tease me, my little brother, he's very good-looking, hey, I've arranged the staff room for you, go ahead, don't Make trouble for me."

After sending Wanhua Valley away, Ling Yan tugged at Hua Zhu's sleeve and whispered, "Brother, I want to receive people from Tiance."

Hua Zhu was a little surprised when he heard the words, Wanhua, Changge, and Qixiu are all elegant places, and people in the sect are easy to get along with. He originally wanted to pick someone with a good temper and let his younger brother receive him, but he didn't want his younger brother to choose Tiance .

It's not that Tiance is bad, but Tiance is a soldier after all, many of his habits are different from those of literati, and he has a hot temper, and quarrels may occur if he doesn't like him.

Hua Zhu frowned, "Are you sure you want to receive Tiance?"

Ling Yan nodded firmly, "Yeah!"

Although Li Huaiyuan was not among the "people who might come to watch the ceremony from Tiance Mansion" mentioned by Senior Brother Hua Zhu, but after all they were working together, if possible, Ling Yan would like to inquire about Li Huaiyuan's news.

After that kiss, Ling Yan's mind was in a state of confusion for a long time, and his mind was frequently distracted during his daily practice, even Li Wangsheng could see that something was wrong with his lover.

Ling Yan didn't dare to ask his master and uncle, but privately dragged his senior sister to ask about the meaning of kissing lips.

Lin Yuyuan smiled and said: "This kind of thing can only be done by close people. Is there any girl for my junior brother?"

Ling Yan was puzzled: "I am also very close to Master, can I also kiss Master?"

Lin Yuyuan: "..."

Lin Yuyuan: "Oh, that's not the case! This kind of thing can only be done by the closest people, just like me and Uncle Shangguan."

Ling Yan was surprised: "Then... isn't that husband and wife?"

"Yeah, only those who are facing their true love will want to kiss his lips, that is, between husband and wife..." After saying this, Lin Yuyuan suddenly stopped, showing a strange smile, "Actually, husband and wife can also, but my junior brother won't. Which boy do you see?"

"No...no! I'm just asking, senior sister, don't think too much!" Ling Yan hurriedly explained, but the description became darker and darker.

After this incident, Ling Yan kept walking around Lin Yuyuan, afraid of being questioned by his senior sister, but Lin Yuyuan observed secretly for a long time, but didn't find any clues, so he put away his curiosity.

Ling Yan behaved as usual on weekdays, but he often stared at the moon in a daze in the dead of night, playing with the white jade glass cup that Li Huaiyuan used that night, and rubbing his lips lightly on the mouth of the cup.

-

Reception is a physical labor. Ling Yan has been held by his masters and brothers since he was in the Chunyang Palace. He has never done heavy work. Now he has stood here for a long time, only feeling back pain, and he is about to ask Hua Zhu for a lie. The place was lazy, but heard the neighing of war horses outside the mountain gate.

Hua Zhu said with a smile: "Judging from this voice, one knows that people from Tiance Mansion have come."

After hearing what his senior brother said, Ling Yan, who was still a little tired, immediately cheered up and looked eagerly towards the entrance of the main hall. He wondered whether the person who came was familiar with Li Huaiyuan, and wondered if he could find out some news about him.

The neighing of horses outside the door gradually subsided, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps from far to near, a group of armored soldiers strode forward, the leader was a general with silver helmets and red armor, standing tall and tall, and imposing.

A group of people walked to the center of the main hall, and the leader and general handed over the greeting card and congratulatory gifts. They clasped their fists at everyone in Chunyang and said in a loud voice: "Li Huaiyuan from Tiance Mansion and everyone from Tiance came to pay their respects."

Hua Zhu was stunned for a moment, Li Huaiyuan, the general of Tiance Mansion, was highly skilled in martial arts and made great military exploits. He was an important official of the imperial court and Hume of Ce Mansion, but he had little contact with Chunyang Palace on weekdays, and had never shown up in Chunyang Ceremony in the past.

The last time Li Huaiyuan came to find out about Ling Yan in private, few people knew about it, and Yihua couldn't understand why this general, who is not used to Taoist priests, came to the Fahua Festival in Chunyang?Didn't he come to play games?

Since Uncle Liu Mengyang married Tiance, the seniority of Chunyang and Tiance was not easy to calculate. Liu Mengyang was younger and had a higher seniority, and even raised the seniority of the younger disciples of Tiance Mansion.

In terms of age alone, Li Huaiyuan is almost the same as Hua Zhu, but in terms of seniority, Hua Zhu should not call Li Huaiyuan senior.

Still Tiance didn't pay much attention to these red tapes, Hua Zhu responded by saying "General", while winking at his junior brother, meaning: the plan has changed, this one is not easy to serve, if you don't want to do it, forget it.

However, Ling Yan didn't notice the look in his senior brother's eyes. He just stood there in a daze, staring at Li Huaiyuan in a daze, and didn't know how to speak.

Li Huaiyuan met Hua Zhu, turned to Ling Yan who was standing beside Hua Zhu, and gave him a gentle smile, "Master Daoist, long time no see, how are you doing?"

"it is good……"

"Can I trouble the Taoist priest to guide us?"

"From...naturally."

Hua Zhu saw that his younger brother was in a trance, he couldn't help worrying, he pulled him aside and asked in a low voice if there was any embarrassment, Ling Yanmu shook his head, his eyes never left Li Huaiyuan for a moment.

Since the junior brother himself said that there is no problem, Hua Zhu couldn't say anything more, so he had to let Li Huaiyuan lead Ling Yan and the others to leave.

Li Huaiyuan ignored all the people in the Cefu behind him all the way, and only pulled Ling Yan to talk: "After a long time, does the Daoist think about this general?"

"It's just... just a month or so."

"The Taoist priest can know that 'one day is like three autumns'. In this way, the general and the Taoist priest have been separated for a hundred years."

Li Huaiyuan saw that Ling Yan's face was flushed by his love words, but he didn't say anything to refute, and there was no anger on his face, knowing that he had himself in his heart, he couldn't help feeling happy, and laughed.

Ling Yan followed Li Huaiyuan out for a while, the heat on his face gradually disappeared, and he stopped stumbling in his speech, so he asked: "Senior Brother said that General Cao came to the ceremony in previous years, why is it General Cao this year?"

-

When Li Huaiyuan returned to Beijing to report on his duties, he told His Majesty that he should be transferred back to Luoyang. Although Chang'an is good, Luoyang is his hometown.

After returning to Luoyang, Li Huaiyuan deliberately piled up other guest rooms in his mansion with sundries, but his master bedroom was clean and comfortable. Waiting for the lamb to fall asleep with me when he comes to Luoyang.

Ling Yan mentioned the Fahua Festival, so Li Huaiyuan naturally paid attention to it. After inquiring, he found out that Chunyang would send invitations to Tiance Mansion every year. In previous years, Director Li would send Cao Xueyang there.

How could Li Huaiyuan miss such a great opportunity to go to Chunyang in such an upright manner, and immediately begged Li Ju with the cheek. Go smash the field.

With Director Li's consent, Li Huaiyuan carried two more baskets of horse grass to make amends to Cao Xueyang. Cao Xueyang was in a good mood after getting the horse grass, and while counting the horse grass, he still did not forget to tease him: "You don't think you are looking for a lamb, do you?" ? If you dare to bully the little Taoist priest Chunyang, be careful that sister-in-law Mengyang will beat you up."

Li Huaiyuan casually grabbed a handful of horse grass and stuffed it into Cao Xueyang's Li Feisha's mouth, and said with a lazy smile: "Little girl should feed more horses and practice martial arts. Why do you gossip so much?"

Seeing that the beloved horse was almost choked, Cao Xueyang couldn't help smoothing the beloved horse's hair. At the same time, he did not forget to feign anger and make a face at Li Huaiyuan, "Seeing how you look angry from embarrassment, be careful that you will never get a wife in your life."

"I will bring you a sister-in-law back next month. Remember to prepare a red envelope." Li Huaiyuan turned around, waved his back to Cao Xueyang, and was about to leave. Okay, I'm afraid I have rubella, and there are occasional hypericums in the woods in the north of the city, so I'd better stop going there for horses in the future."

-

Of course Li Huaiyuan would not tell his sweetheart about exchanging two baskets of horse grass for a visiting spot, he leaned into Ling Yan's ear with a smile and whispered, "Of course it's because I miss you."

"..." The heat that had just subsided on Ling Yan's face tended to warm up again.

Everyone in Tiance who followed the two yelled in their hearts: There are people who abuse dogs here, is there anyone in your Chunyang Palace to take care of them!

The author has something to say:

A long-forgotten little yellow chicken: Didn't you say that the Fahua Festival has a role for the young master? !

Author: Keke, I wrote so high that I forgot about you, it’s okay, no one wants to see you anyway, it happened that Cang Yun ordered a yellow braised chicken, you go.

The little yellow chicken threw out a piece of ingot: Is there any role for me?

The author quickly put away the ingots, with a dignified righteousness: Money can only buy my body, not my soul.

The little yellow chicken raised the epee: Is there any? !

Author: Wealth and honor cannot be promiscuous, and might cannot be subdued.

Little Yellow Chicken: The wind is coming to Wushan! ! !

Author: Yes, yes, yes, hero, spare your life, let's go down...the next chapter will have your part.

The little yellow chicken carried the epee and left contentedly.

Good Fang, I feel like I will be warned by the windmill
