warm garden

Well, take a team of Custodians! "

Ming Xiaoyang said: "No need, I'll go alone, it's convenient for investigation."

Luo Yuning said: "Alright."

Afraid of Zhao Anchen's hard work, Ming Xiaoyang said, "Zhao Yi, you can stay in Gyeongju, I'll be back in a few days."

Zhao Anchen said: "No, I want to go with you!"

When Luo Yuning heard this, he was really frowning: "His Royal Highness Ning, please spare the last general. If the officials know about patrolling the border alone, I won't be able to cut off eight heads!"

Zhao Anchen said calmly: "It's okay, you don't need to let my royal father know, there are very few people in the borderlands, and no one knows that I am King Ning, even if someone wants to kill me, Ming Huan will protect me."

Luo Yuning said: "Then at least two Xiaoyangs are needed!"

Ming Xiaoyang glanced at Zhao Anchen, and said, "Almost, he is equivalent to one and a half me."

Luo Yuning was puzzled and said, "What?"

Ming Xiaoyang smiled and said: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is so powerful in martial arts, even I can't beat him!"

Luo Yuning frowned slightly: "My nephew is talking nonsense."

Ming Xiaoyang said: "Really."

Luo Yuning saw that King Ning was very persistent, and said: "How about this, if His Highness King Ning can beat me, I will let you go!"

Zhao Anchen said: "Okay."

Luo Yuning is also a famous general who has experienced many battles. Although his martial arts is far inferior to that of the Wu family, he is still a fierce general. It is very difficult to defeat him.

Ming Xiaoyang followed him out to watch the play with a smile on his face, and he finished playing before he was addicted to watching it...

Zhao Anchen flashed his figure with his gun in his hand, and knocked Luo Yuning into the air within three moves. All the generals present were stunned, and none of them made a sound for a long time, and even forgot to applaud...

Ming Xiaoyang was also startled, thinking how stupid he was when he once wanted to compete with Zhao Anchen.

Zhang Li was dumbfounded: "This... isn't this the 'War Dragon' gun?"

It took Ming Xiaoyang so much time to carefully look at the spear in Zhao Anchen's hand, and said loudly: "Okay, Zhao Yi! You are indeed born to my parents, I picked it up! Not only are your martial arts better than mine, Gao, this is my father's gun, it was not passed to me, but it was given to you first!"

Zhao Anchen smiled lightly: "How many hands have you grown? You took your mother's Yanyue long knife, and you still have a sword on your waist. Are you still thinking of grabbing a gun from me?"

Ming Xiao stood on the side in a vigorous manner.

Luo Yuning walked over slowly, and said with admiration: "His Royal Highness King Ning has excellent martial arts skills, and the last general has poor eyesight. I accept it. I keep my promise, and you can go patrolling the border!"

Zhao Anchen was expressionless but with a smile in his eyes, and said, "Okay."

The border between Da Song and Xia Liao is very wide, leaving the military camp and Gyeongju to continue westward.Sometimes galloping, sometimes slowing down, exploring for several days, and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the border.It was a hard job, but the two of them were as happy as traveling together!

With green mountains and green waters, resting in place, Ming Xiaoyang squatted by the small river, washed his face, smiled brightly at himself in the water, and said in his heart: "Hey, I'm so handsome!"

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Zhao Yi, from the picture, it is half a day away from Lanzhou, and we can only enter the city at night. What shall we eat now? Go hunting together?" His handsome face shone brightly.

Zhao Anchen stared at him for a moment, then slowly said: "This river is clear, and there are fish in the water, eat the fish!"

Ming Xiaoyang said: "If you eat fish, you have to go into the water to catch it, making your clothes wet, and you have to go on your way in the afternoon. Uh... how uncomfortable."

Zhao Anchen said: "Take it off, the summer is scorching hot, the river water is cool, and you can take a bath by the way!"

Ming Xiaoyang stared wide-eyed and asked: "Ah? In broad daylight | naked?"

Zhao Anchen said with a smile: "In a remote place deep in the mountains and old forests, there are few people around, take a bath, and no one is watching."

Ming Xiaoyang said: "It's hard to say, Shen Lingshuang thinks the same as you, so we bumped into him."

Zhao Anchen said: "What are you afraid of, a man?"

Ming Xiaoyang said unconvinced: "What's wrong with the man? Men just look at it casually?"

Zhao Anchen said: "I want to eat fish!"

"Okay, well, I'll catch it for you. When I was young, brother Chen would peel lychees for me to eat, but now brother Chen asks me to catch fish for him to eat. It really doesn't hurt me anymore..." Muttering aggrievedly, he took off his clothes.

Zhao Anchen walked to the side and began to take off his clothes, Ming Xiaoyang asked: "I catch fish enough to feed us both, why are you still taking off your clothes?"

Zhao Anchen said: "It's hot, I want to take a bath!" While talking, he took off his clothes completely, stood naked by the river, and walked into the river slowly.

Ming Xiaoyang took off half of his clothes and stared blankly, Zhao Anchen said, "Hurry up!"

Ming Xiaoyang took off and went into the river. The water in the river was really cool and comfortable, and he swam happily, and said without principle: "You are right, you should take a bath when you meet the river! Haha!"

Ming Xiaoyang swam over and looked at Zhao Anchen's well-proportioned figure, exquisite and powerful lines, smooth and flawless skin, such a perfect man's body, dazed for a moment, and said leisurely: "Last night, I watched you take a bath by candlelight. I think you have a really good figure, standing in the sun and looking at you... Uh... why are you so perfect, a big man? You really don't have any self-esteem for your future princess!"

Zhao Anchen said with a smile: "People's eyes are on the face, and they can always see clearly. I think you look better."

Ming Xiaoyang felt inexplicably comfortable when he heard Zhao Yi praise him, and proudly said: "Really?" He looked down at himself, and said: "That's right, I also think I have a pretty good figure, hehe!"

Zhao Anchen looked at Ming Xiaoyang making noise in the clear river water, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the river was shimmering with waves, and his eyes were as bright as stars.

"Hey! Hey! There are fish, there are fish!" Ming Xiaoyang shouted excitedly, catching fish with joy.

Sitting on the bank, the two comfortably grilled a pile of fish they had caught. Ming smiled and said, "When I grill, I think of Zhao Che. When we went to the mountains to hunt game, he never forgot to bring salt and spices. His skills are outstanding." Excellent, what an interesting person! Next time I will bring them too, these prey must let their fragrance waft ten miles, so as not to let them die this time in vain!"

Zhao Anchen smiled and said nothing, grilling fish with Ming Xiaoyang.Ming Xiaoyang said: "The terrain on the border of the Song Dynasty is all in the hinterland of the Central Plains, which is easy to attack and difficult to defend, which shows the difficulty of defending the army."

Zhao Anchen said: "Well, it's impossible to keep calm for a long time, such a border will inevitably make others covet it."

Ming Xiaoyang smiled heartily, the sun was as clear as the morning sun, and said with a smile: "My soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are brave, and we are not afraid of them. Our Ming family will definitely protect the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Zhao Anchen said: "Yes."

"Zhao Yi?"

"what?"

"Have you grown taller?"

"..."

"On the Lantern Festival, you are only half an inch taller than me, and I am also growing taller. Why are you more than an inch taller than me now?"

☆, robbery

As soon as night fell, the two arrived at the city of Lanzhou on the western border of the Song and Xia Dynasties, and entered the city slowly.There are not many pedestrians on the street, so we need to find a shop to stay.

Not far from the city there is a Luoqing Inn, which looks pretty good. Ming Xiaoyang had just stepped into the door when he was bumped by a person walking out from the inside. The person was so drunk that he almost went down the steps He fell down and looked back at Ming Xiaoyang: "What? What are you looking at? Do you even want to bully me?" He sat on the ground shaking his head.

When Ming Xiaoyang saw him in the rich clothes, he looked like a nobleman, no matter how he looked, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.Walking to the counter, he asked, "Shopkeeper, what happened to that man?"

The shopkeeper said: "Hey, this is the guest officer of our store. He lives in the upper room on the second floor. He has been here for three days and got drunk for two days. I don't know where he is going for a night tour while he is drinking."

Ming Xiaoyang turned his head and glanced at the "drunk young master" who was sitting on the street outside the door, and asked the shopkeeper without saying anything, "give us two upper rooms."

The shopkeeper said: "My lord, you are late, there is only one room left, why don't you make it up first?"

Ming Xiaoyang glanced at Zhao Anchen, and replied, "Let's take one."

Ming Xiaoyang sighed as he went upstairs: "Oh...you're away from home..."

After entering the room, sat down and drank some tea, he said: "I have shared a bed with you for more than a month, and finally slept in an inn, and there is only one room. It is too miserable. If I were a girl, you must marry me." Otherwise, I will definitely not be able to marry. Fortunately, I am a man, free, it is better to be a man."

After speaking, he took off his outer robe, followed the old rules, consciously crawled to the inside to lie down, stood up habitually, supported his head with one hand, patted the bed with the other, and said with a smile, "Come on!"

Zhao Anchen stood beside the bed with expressionless face and eyes like frost and snow, staring closely at Ming Xiaoyang's smiling face, untied his belt and took off his outer robe bitterly. This undressing process was very common, but the atmosphere was really scary. Ming Xiaoyang jumped, sat up instinctively, and subconsciously said: "Hey! What are you doing? Don't come over!" Ming Xiaoyang didn't know why he said that, obviously he wanted to sleep together I just said "come here", what's going on now?Suddenly very nervous! ?

After Zhao Anchen heard this "Don't come here", a little sullenness seeped into Leng Ruoshuangxue's eyes again.After taking off, go to bed and lie down on your back, and sleep with your eyes closed.

Ming Xiaoyang was extremely embarrassed sitting inside...

Ming Xiaoyang had no choice but to lie down silently, thinking: "What's wrong with Zhao Yi?" Before he could figure out what was going on, he felt sleepy, and instinctively moved towards Zhao Anchen, and fell asleep against Zhao Anchen's body. up.

Zhao Anchen opened his eyes, turned his head sideways, looked at his arms being held by Ming Xiaoyang, and sighed.

Ming Xiaoyang didn't sleep well, and woke up with Zhao Anchen in his arms almost every morning, he was used to it without any embarrassment.That night, Ming Xiaoyang slept very peacefully and comfortably. When he woke up slightly, he found that he was hugged by Zhao Anchen from behind. For some reason, he was a little embarrassed, but he felt that he slept so comfortably that he didn't want to move. , I really didn't want to move, and said in my heart: "I've been traveling for more than a month, it's rare to be comfortable, let's sleep on the bed!"

But suddenly he heard Zhao Anchen say behind him: "When you wake up, get up!"

Ming Xiaoyang turned his head abruptly, just in time to see Zhao Anchen staring at him with wide eyes, so frightened that he sat up with a bang, and didn't want to sleep at all.

"Zhao Yi! Are you trying to scare me to death? What good will my early death do you?" Ming Xiaoyang yelled angrily while sitting on the bed like a little daughter-in-law.

"Don't make noise in the morning, you'll get dizzy from the shock." Zhao Anchen said softly, and sat up slowly.

When Ming Xiaoyang heard Zhao Anchen say he was dizzy, he immediately let out an obedient "Oh".Just about to ask why he hugged him in the morning, but then he thought about it, he hugged Zhao Anchen every morning, so he didn't have the nerve to ask.

Zhao Anchen asked Xiao Er to bring in some porridge and side dishes.Start getting dressed slowly.silent.

Ming Xiaoyang lay back on the bed again, without any clothes on, staring at Zhao Anchen with staring eyes, his head was empty and he didn't think about anything.

After half a stick of incense, Xiao Er delivered the food, turned around and closed the door to go out.

"You've been staring at me since you woke up, half a stick of incense, and you don't even blink, aren't you tired?" Zhao Anchen said slowly.Glancing at Ming Xiaoyang who was still lying on the bed staring at him, he said, "What? Wait for me to feed you?"

Ming Xiaoyang, who didn't think about anything, got up slowly when he heard "Hello", floated to sit beside Zhao Anchen, and opened his mouth without thinking about anything.

"Hey... go brush your teeth with salt water and rinse your mouth before eating." Zhao Anchen sighed softly, and continued to eat his own food with his head down.

Ming Xiaoyang walked to the side in his middle coat with loose belts and finished washing. He finally regained his energy. He straightened his clothes, put on his outer robe, and sat down at the table to have breakfast by himself.

Zhao Anchen smiled lightly, and said, "Every morning I'm dazed, I don't know what the ghost is calling today!"

Ming Xiaoyang looked at Zhao Anchen with innocent eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Are you bothering me?"

"no"

"Hmm! Hey!"

Zhao Anchen said helplessly: "Looking at the tall and burly people, when will they really grow up?"

Ming Xiaoyang answered very naturally: "I think I have grown up, but Uncle Sima said that I will not be considered an adult until four years later!"

Zhao Anchen: "Four years..."

"Zhao Yi?"

"Ok?"

"You've been a little weird lately?"

"Well, it may be that the weather is hot and I'm a little impatient. I need to find a time to recite the scriptures and clear my mind."

"Oh, so that's the case. Oh? This breakfast is good! Zhao Yi, how about we rest in Lanzhou City for a day?"

Zhao Anchen said: "Okay, it's all up to you."

Boom!

Ming Xiaoyang heard a noise at the door, opened the door to look, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw the "drunk young master" from last night lying in, half inside and half outside, sleeping at the door.

"Hey! Wake up, you went to the wrong room, the one next to it is yours, hey! Wake up!" Ming Xiaoyang stretched out his hand and grabbed it.

"Ah? Oh, I'm sorry." The drunk boy didn't even bother to get up, and crawled towards the next door like an earthworm.

Ming Xiaoyang closed the door, sat at the table and said with a smile: "I shouldn't be like this when I'm drunk, right? This is too embarrassing."

Zhao Anchen said calmly: "Le'er said that the time you were drunk was not much different from this."

Ming Xiaoyang was embarrassed for a moment: "Hehe, hehehe, is it... Let's go for a walk and see what's interesting in Lanzhou!"

Although it is a border city, this street is also very bustling. It was dark last night and there were few people, so you can see clearly during the day. The local people in Lanzhou have very distinctive costumes. Many men and women are born differently from Tokyo, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and tall eyes. The bridge of the nose, women have exquisite facial features and beautiful appearance.The children running around on the street are also very beautiful, lively and lovely.

Ming Xiaoyang happily said: "I heard from my mother that there are many ethnic groups in the frontier who look slightly different from us. I didn't expect them to be so good-looking, hehe!"

Zhao Anchen: "Well, exotic style."

Ming Xiaoyang said: "Zhao Yi, marching all the way, and reconnaissance border, green mountains and green waters, also passed a few state capitals, it can be regarded as making up for the 18 years you spent in the palace."

Walking forward for a while, I saw a large clearing where some people were stacking branches as high as two people.

Ming Xiaoyang asked the people beside him: "Brother, what are you doing?"

"Today is the summer solstice, and the day is the longest. Tonight everyone in Lanzhou City will dance and celebrate. This is the bonfire for the party. It looks like you are not a local. It is very lively at night."

"Oh, I see, thank you brother."

Ming Xiaoyang stood back beside Zhao Anchen with a full smile, tilted his head and said, "Tonight!"

After wandering around the city for a while, I was in a leisurely mood. In a blink of an eye, it was already past noon. I was thinking of finding a restaurant for a light meal. I looked up and saw a nice restaurant on the corner of the street. The plaque said "Ziyelou" .

Ming Xiaoyang smiled and said: "This name is very powerful, haha!"

Zhao Anchen asked: "Do you know what that means?"

"I don't know, I feel very atmospheric and delicious."

The waiter was very enthusiastic, and led the two of them to an elegant seat beside the hall. The dining table was placed horizontally, with an average width of about three feet, but this table was very long, about two meters long.The two sat face to face across the width.Ming Xiaoyang said: "Serve two of your signature dishes, and two jugs of good wine!"

"Okay!" The man set up the tea bowls and chopsticks, and happily went down to prepare.

There are quite a lot of guests in the building. While drinking tea slowly, I heard the guests in the next seat chatting.

"Hey! Do you know? Just the day before yesterday, Yuan Xie's son was robbed on the way back from another place!"

"I also heard that the Liang family was also robbed, and it happened a few days ago. The world is going to be chaotic."

"The Xie family deserves to be robbed. This is called retribution! What is there to rob the Liang family? It's just a small wealthy family living off the savings of their ancestors. Apart from the old man of the Liang family, there are only a few granddaughters. Is it possible to repay the robbery?"

"The Liang family was robbed. I heard that there was not much loss, only a little money. The female family members were not injured."

"Hey? Or a lustful robber? Hahaha!"

"Ordinary people like us, people don't look down on them. If you invite them to rob, they won't rob you. It has nothing to do with us. Eat and eat!"

"It's true. I've only heard about robbery, but I haven't heard of anyone being injured or killed."

"Well, I haven't heard of it either."

The waiter brought the wine with joy on his face, and said, "Later, two guests, the dishes will be here soon!"

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Is there robbers in Lanzhou City?"

The clerk said: "To tell you the truth, there really are. It's on the official road a hundred miles outside the west city gate. It's been making trouble for a while. It only happened about a month ago!"

Zhao Anchen asked: "Does the government not care?"

The clerk said: "Take care, but the surrounding area is complex, with mountains and mountains. I sent people there a few times, but they didn't even find anyone. It didn't hurt anyone. It's just that the government is not so diligent. They go there every now and then."

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Lanzhou is a border city, and there are tens of thousands of garrison troops. Why are there robbers here?"

The buddy sighed: "Yes, recently I heard that Xia is not peaceful. It is rumored that Da Song is going to be attacked. The defenders are all waiting for death. I guess they don't have time to meddle in this matter. The bandits probably also saw this point, so they temporarily I settled down here. I heard that some merchants hired escort agencies, but they were robbed in the end. It is said that the gang of thieves were so brave that they beat several escort agencies to pieces. Alas... fierce!"

Ming Xiaoyang was thoughtful: "Oh."

The guy shook his head and went down to serve the food.Zhao Anchen said: "You don't behave like ordinary robbers."

Ming Xiaoyang: "Yes."

☆, robbery two

After half a cup of tea, the buddy and a servant came over, and the buddy brought up a short-legged thing with a mouth as big as a pot. Well, he turned around and took a pot of boiling soup from the servant, and put it on the copper tripod. The pot was full of vegetables and meat, and he looked very appetizing.

Ming Xiaoyang's gluttons were all restless: "Wow~~~It smells so good!"

The man smiled and said, "This is one of the signature dishes of our restaurant, called mutton hot pot." He put several plates of meat and vegetables beside the pot, and said, "After you finish eating the dishes in the pot, you can also put the dishes on the plate again. Put it in the pot and cook it, you can eat it to your heart's content! This mutton hot pot paired with our old wine is delicious in the world!"

The man served two more dipping sauces for each of them, one was powdered mixed spices and the other was light-colored sauce. The man said, "It's even more delicious when you dip it in. Hey! Be careful. You don't have to worry about the carbon gas, we use the best gold bone silver dragon carbon."

Ming Xiaoyang was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear: "Okay, okay!"

Zhao Anchen had never seen this kind of eating method before, and asked, "Why is the food table so long?"

The buddy laughed and said, "You'll know it in a while, take it easy!" He continued with a smile.

Ming Xiaoyang said happily: "Yeah! It's delicious!"

Zhao Anchen looked at Ming Xiaoyang and smiled slightly: "Slow down, don't burn yourself!"

Ming Xiaoyang grinned and said: "I know, if I get burned, brother Chen will feel distressed again, hehe." Grabbing vegetables to eat.

After a while, Xiao Er came again.This time, I brought two young servants, lifted a rack supported by two poles, with a roast leg of lamb in the middle, and fell to the end side of the wide case. Sit down slowly, take a knife and cut off little by little, dip it in the secret powder, arrange it one by one, cut four large plates, and salute: "You two guests, eat these Just call me over and cut it." He finished speaking.

Ming Xiaoyang took a sip and said in surprise, "Better than Zhao Che's craftsmanship!"

Not long after, at dinner time in the evening, the number of guests in the building gradually increased, and a man came in at the door. He was dressed gorgeously and looked handsome, not like a local.The clerk went up to meet him and said, "My lord, I'm sorry, there are no seats in this shop, why don't you come back later, how would you like it?"

Ming Xiaoyang looked over and called out, "Oh? 'Drunk Master'?"

The 'Drunk Young Master' tilted his head and said, "Oh! It's the 'Neighbor Young Master'!" He said and walked over.

Ming Xiaoyang was hospitable, pulled 'Drunk Master' and said: "Come, come, let's eat together!"

Mr. Zui looked at the dishes on the table, nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, you two have ordered so much, it seems that I have my share, so I will not be polite." Sitting next to Ming Xiaoyang .

The waiter looked at it, and happily served a pair of bowls, chopsticks and plates, and said with a bright smile: "Put some more pots of wine, this 'drunk man' can drink it."

"Okay!" The man agreed and went on.

The drunk young master said: "When I woke up, I was sober from the wine, and I was hungry. The innkeeper said that the food and wine here are the best, so I found it here. Why did you order so much?"

Ming Xiaoyang said: "I'm only talking about two signature dishes, who knew that the two dishes here are so... er... Spectacular?"

The drunk young master looked down and saw the Huo Qilin on Ming Xiaoyang's body, and suddenly asked with a serious expression: "Who are you?"

Ming Xiaoyang laughed and said, "I'm the 'next door son'!"

Mr. Zui said, "Why do you have this fire unicorn?"

Ming Xiaoyang looked down: "Do you recognize it?"

Mr. Zui said: "Of course I recognize it! This technique is something my father can't do!"

Ming Xiaoyang was startled, and said slowly: "Oh~~~~! Why do you look so familiar to me?"

Drunk Young Master: "?"

Ming Xiaoyang said: "You and Shen Lingshuang look seven to eight points alike, your surname is Shen!"

The drunk young master said in surprise: "How do you know? You still know my sister?"

Zhao Anchen took a closer look at this "drunk young master", and he really looked like Shen Lingshuang, so the brows slightly moved.

Ming Xiaoyang said: "I am Ming Huan, Ming Xiaoyang, the son of Bai Heyun."

The drunk young master said: "Ah! So it's you, the last one?!"

Ming Xiaoyang: "..." He said in his heart, "Ah? As the young master of my family, why is it that I am the last one as the focus?"

Mr. Zui said: "I am Shen Xuanqing, who is this?" He looked at Zhao Anchen.

Ming Xiaoyang said: "He is Zhao Yi, your Aunt Jing's son."

Shen Xuanqing opened his big eyes, covered his mouth, looked around, and whispered, "Then this is King Ning?"

Zhao Anchen nodded slightly: "Don't call me King Ning, call me Mr. Zhao outside."

Shen Xuanqing said softly: "Okay." After his stomach growled, he came back to his senses, touched his stomach, and said, "I'm starving to death, I'm not welcome!" After speaking, it was like starving for ten days and a half months It was like a storm.

The three of them ate for a long time before they ate up the two-meter-long food table. They were all stuffed enough, and they sat on the seats drinking tea and chatting.

Shen Xuanqing asked: "Why did Brother Ming come to Lanzhou? To inspect your own business?"

Ming Xiaoyang was very surprised and asked, "Does my family have business here?"

Shen Xuanqing looked at Ming Xiaoyang in disbelief: "You are so old, don't you know what kind of business your family has? What do you mean 'does your family have business here' but where is your family not doing business? There are many businesses of your family in any state capital, how can Lanzhou be an exception?"

Ming Xiaoyang nodded dumbly: "Oh! My mother never told me about the Bai family's business, so I don't know anything about it."

Shen Xuanqing asked: "Then why are you here?"

Ming Xiaoyang took a sip of tea and said, "Patrolling the border."

Shen Xuanqing said: "Oh, that's it."

Ming Xiaoyang said: "What are you doing here? Do you still drink like that every day?"

Shen Xuanqing said with a smile: "I want to travel the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, and I will be a member of the Great Song Dynasty! I have swam here. I am not drunk every day, at most twice a month."

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Why do you know that I am the bottom one?"

Shen Xuanqing proudly said: "Because I am the second to last!"

Zhao Anchen looked up at the 'second to last'.

Ming Xiaoyang embraced Shen Xuanqing, patted his shoulder and laughed loudly: "Hahaha! Fate!"

Zhao Anchen said suspiciously: "I vaguely remember that the last one is Lu."

Shen Xuanqing sighed, and said with a desolate expression: "This is bullying. I saw Brother Ming carefully from No.1 to the last place, three times! Without me, I thought I had failed the ranking, and I was depressed and drunk at home. Later, my father told me that in fact, I was on the list, second to last, and I was squeezed out."

Zhao Anchen and Ming Xiaoyang stared at Shen Xuanqing together, Zhao Anchen asked, "Squeeze?"

Shen Xuanqing continued: "My father is a jade and jewelry merchant, but I always feel that my father is not an ordinary person. How did he know that he didn't tell me? Since he didn't tell me, even if I asked, he would definitely not say more. So I I took the money and walked around to ask about it, but the result was exactly what my father said. The man surnamed Lu is the son of Lu Weiguang, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and he replaced me through connections the night before the announcement."

Zhao Anchen frowned, and said, "It's unreasonable!"

Ming Xiaoyang sighed: "There is such a thing? How many people on the list have made such a move, do you know?"

Shen Xuanqing said: "I also asked, it's just me..."

Ming Xiaoyang was full of sympathy: "Brother Shen, I have to say, your luck is the worst in the whole list! Hehe."

Shen Xuanqing said: "It looks like bad luck, but it's not. People told me that there is a reason to find unlucky people from the bottom of the list, because the people behind are definitely not as talented as those at the top, even if they are not on the list. It will not arouse anyone's suspicion, even the candidates themselves may think that they just failed the exam. It just so happens that I am the second last and the son of a merchant, just right."

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Then I should be replaced, right? Before the ranking was announced, I felt that I would not pass the exam. Haha, my mother is also a businessman!"

Shen Xuanqing said: "Is your mother an ordinary businessman? She should be the third grade! Besides your mother, there is also your father, Duke Wu! Brother Ming! Of course, the knife is aimed at me, the penultimate one who has no official background!"

Ming Xiaoyang suddenly realized: "Oh! It makes sense!"

Zhao Anchen said: "It's outrageous."

Ming Xiaoyang smiled and said: "It's okay, you all have great achievements, you can pass the exam even if you don't take the exam, and live a good life."

Shen Xuanqing said: "I'm full of economics, and a man will serve the world and serve the country. What does it mean to live well, cut!" Shrugging his shoulders, he shook Ming Xiaoyang's hand.

Ming Xiaoyang said with disgust: "Just you? Full of knowledge? Huh? The second to last?"

Shen Xuanqing was full of confidence: "There is a specialization in art, and what I have learned is not suitable for taking the exam, you don't understand!"

Ming Xiaoyang smiled and said, "Oh?"

The three of them ordered some more wine and chatted until Ziyelou was about to close, Ming Xiaoyang and Shen Xuanqing were a little dizzy, only Zhao Anchen was still awake.The waiter came up and asked, "Are the three guest officials satisfied? It's getting late, and the shop is about to close. Do you think it's time to go back and rest?"

Zhao Anchen said: "Okay." After paying the money, he dragged the two dizzy people out of Ziyelou.

Just as he was about to go back to the inn, Ming Xiaoyang suddenly remembered that there was still a bonfire party, and said, "Zhao Yi, I'm going to watch the bonfire party!"

Shen Xuanqing was also very happy to join in the fun: "Okay! Let's go! Watch the fire!"

Staggeringly, I walked to the open space and saw that it was really lively. The high firewood pile in the daytime was lit, and the flames soared into the sky, illuminating a long distance.Many young men and women played tambourines around the campfire, sang and danced, sometimes they danced joyously, sometimes they held hands and danced. It was really hearty drumming and singing and dancing. Ming Xiaoyang pulled Zhao Anchen in to dance with everyone, and Shen Xuanqing also danced together.Zhao Anchen is good at fighting, he really can't dance, and neither can Ming Xiaoyang, following everyone's example, jumping happily.Zhao Anchen looked at Ming Xiaoyang holding his hand, and reluctantly danced along for a while with a blank face.

"Haha! It's so fun!" Ming Xiaoyang was having fun playing with the fire shining on his smiling face.

There was a commotion for a while, and the three of them sat on the side, watching others singing and dancing.

Shen Xuanqing laughed hard, and said with a smile: "Master Zhao, I can remember your dancing expression forever, hahahaha!"

Ming Xiaoyang leaned against Zhao Anchen's body and said, "Zhao Yi, have a laugh!" He even reached out and touched Zhao Anchen's face.

Shen Xuanqing laughed and pulled Laming Xiaoyang: "Hahaha, you still want to insult King Ning? Hahaha, it's so funny."

Zhao Anchen looked at Ming Xiaoyang's approaching face, his slightly stupefied eyes sparkled with the flickering firelight.Zhao Anchen said softly: "Okay, don't make trouble, it's time to go back." After saying that, he picked up Ming Xiaoyang and went back to the inn.

Shen Xuanqing also stood up and called out: "Wait for me!" hurriedly followed.

☆, robbery three

Along the way, Ming Xiaoyang put his arms around Shen Xuanqing's neck, Shen Xuanqing put his arms around Ming Xiaoyang's waist, supported each other, and followed Zhao Anchen back to the inn staggeringly.

Shen Xuanqing said: "The food from Lanzhou is really delicious. The girl is so beautiful, with big eyes and high nose bridge, fair skin and beautiful appearance, who can sing and dance well. I really want to marry one and be a wife. Don't be beautiful!"

Ming Xiaoyang said: "Yeah! It makes sense!"

Zhao Anchen turned his head to look at Ming Xiaoyang, and looked forward helplessly.

Ming Xiaoyang smiled and said: "Zhao Yi, why don't you choose a princess here, my nephew will definitely be beautiful in the future!"

Zhao Anchen's expression was cold all the way, and he kept looking at the hands of the two with a slightly displeased expression.

When it was past midnight after entering the inn, Shen Xuanqing said: "I'm going back to my room, good night, brother Ming, Mr. Zhao..." and went upstairs shaking.

Ming Xiaoyang lay on the counter and asked the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, is there any room available today?"

Zhao Anchen glanced at Ming Xiaoyang lightly: "..."

The shopkeeper said: "I'm sorry, you came back too late today, and there are no more. You still have to settle for your room."

Ming Xiaoyang pouted and said: "Okay then, let's go Zhao Yi, let's go back to the room." Pulling Zhao Anchen upstairs.

When Ming Xiaoyang entered the room, he fell down on the bed and lay down with a big character.Zhao Anchen took a cloth towel and soaked it in clean water, wrung it dry, walked over to help Ming Xiaoyang, hugged him in his arms and wiped his face and hands.

Ming Xiaoyang squinted his eyes and said: "It's delicious, enough is enough, Brother Chen..."

Zhao Anchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly, put down Ming Xiaoyang, and went to wash himself.Ming Xiaoyang just fell asleep in such an unseemly way.

In the early morning of the second day, Ming Xiaoyang woke up comfortably in Zhao Anchen's arms again. He glanced back and saw that Zhao Anchen was still asleep. Today, he got used to it and was not embarrassed at all. He turned over in Zhao Anchen's arms, his face Lie face to face, looked at Zhao Anchen's sleeping face, thought to himself: "She looks so good-looking, alas...it's even better-looking than this young master, no matter who the princess is in the future, she will take advantage of it." Blink Blinking an eye, he thought again: "It's so comfortable, I really don't want to wake up, Wangfei, I'm really ashamed of you, but I, a big man, tried your husband's arms first..." After thinking about it, I slipped into my arms again. drill.

Ming Xiaoyang thought: "Zhao Yi will also hug the princess to sleep in the future... Well, that's natural..." He felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, moved uncomfortablely, stretched out his hand unconsciously, gently He hugged Zhao Anchen's waist.

Zhao Anchen actually woke up a long time ago, he always wakes up first, and today is definitely no exception, but he was a little curious whether Ming Xiaoyang would scream again this morning, so he used his internal strength to hold back his breath, pretending to be asleep very realistically.I didn't expect such a situation, thought it was very interesting, and continued to pretend to be asleep.Ming Xiaoyang stuck his head in his arms, so naturally he couldn't see the slight titter on Zhao Anchen's face.

Ming Xiaoyang whispered: "This woman from Lanzhou City is really pretty, and I even dreamed of a beautiful girl kissing me last night, ha ha ha."

Zhao Anchen suddenly opened his eyes, lowered his head and said, "What did you say?"

Ming Xiaoyang raised his head: "Huh? You're awake, I mean..."

Bang!As soon as the door opened, "Brother Ming? Wake up!" Shen Xuanqing was like his sister, who would never see anyone else once they got acquainted. He walked to the bed and saw this posture, and shouted, "Ouch!" He turned around and said, "What are you doing?"

Ming Xiaoyang said: "What else can you do, sleep, why do you get up so early!"

Zhao Anchen: "..."

Shen Xuanqing still covered his eyes and said, "Then...how did you sleep like that?"

Ming Xiaoyang has long been used to it, and said indifferently: "What do you care if you fall asleep!

Shen Xuanqing said: "It's true, but why do you sleep in the same room?"

Ming Xiaoyang said helplessly: "You have to ask the shopkeeper downstairs why there are so few rooms!"

Shen Xuanqing said: "Oh! This is what happened."

Zhao Anchen got up slowly, looked at Shen Xuanqing, his eyes were as deep as a mystery, and Shen Xuanqing was startled, puzzled.

Ming Xiaoyang asked: "Why did you come so early in the morning?"

Shen Xuanqing said: "It's nothing else, but I'm going to visit Ningzhou today.
