The pouring and pouring rain gradually turned to pattering, slowly and silently.
"The rain has stopped."
Wei Lian opened the window and looked out, it was late at night. In the thick night, only the faint outlines of buildings can be seen, and there are few pedestrians on the road.
The air that has just rained is fresh and natural, mixed with a touch of floral fragrance.
"It's the scent of butterfly orchid." Wei Lian said.
Liang country is the country of spices. This is rich in all kinds of strange fragrances, and the raw materials are extracted from flowers. Therefore, Liang Guo also has the reputation of "the country of flowers".
There are thousands of exotic flowers and plants in Liang State, among which butterfly orchid is the most popular among the people of Liang State. Butterfly orchids are purple in color, and the petals are like butterflies spreading their wings. The fragrance is even better, and it will attract real butterflies. Aristocratic women in Liang Kingdom like to use it as incense.
This is also related to the folk customs of Liang Guo. Liang Guo liked to take flowers as gifts, and compared the girls to beautiful flowers. Sending a butterfly orchid to a woman means a confession - butterfly loves flowers, I love you.
Every year, the Flower God Festival is approaching, and every household will be covered with flowers of various colors outside the door and window, turning the whole city into a sea of flowers. Butterfly orchid has a particularly strong fragrance. A fresh rain and a fresh breeze can make the fragrance of butterfly orchid drift ten miles, refreshing the heart.
Wei Lian looked out the window and breathed in the air with a faint floral fragrance. He felt a lot more refreshing: "Liang Guo once paid tribute to the spice of Butterfly Orchid, and it smelled good at the time, and I always wanted to see the real flower."
Before he finished speaking, a pair of hands covered his eyes from behind.
Wei Lian's vision suddenly fell into darkness, but the tip of his nose smelled a fragrant fragrance, much stronger than the light floral fragrance in the air.
He sniffed lightly, it was a butterfly orchid.
"Does it smell good?" Ji Yue asked.
Wei Lian was surprised: "You—"
Ji Yue let go of his hand, Wei Lian lowered his eyes, and saw a bunch of butterfly orchids in full bloom in front of him. The purple petals were like butterfly wings, as if they were about to fly out of the window at any time.
He closed the window, raised his eyes and asked with a smile, "Where did the flowers come from?"
Is there anything more surprising than a dream come true? As soon as he said that, Ji Yue let him get his wish.
"When you went to the Hall of the Holy Virgin, I saw that the man used this flower to decorate the lobby, saying that this flower was given to his beloved in Liang Guo. I asked him for a bunch." Ji Yue said.
Wei Lianxi asked curiously, "You can understand Nanjiang language too?"
"Wei Xiaolian." Ji Yue said sternly, "Gu not stupid than you."
His learning ability is also very strong, right
"Okay, I underestimated you." Wei Lian smiled and fiddled with the purple petals with his eyes down, "Don't you hate purple the most? Why do you think of sending it to me?"
Ji Yue didn't like purple clothes, and he didn't like purple either.
"I hate that person. I hate everything related to her. Sending her to death is my belief to live. But it will be different in the future." Ji Yue chuckled, "My belief is not her anymore."
His current and future beliefs are Wei Lian.
He still has things he hates, but it's nowhere near his love for Wei Lian.
Wei Lian fiddled with the petals for a while, put the flower in the vase by the bed, and leaned over to give him a kiss.
"You always make me want to kiss you today." Wei Lian said when they parted.
Ji Yue replied, "I want to kiss you every day."
Wei Lian hooked his lips.
They lay back again, leaning against the head of the bed to continue chatting, this time talking about business.
"On the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, we will worship the flower gods." Wei Lian said, "I asked. That day when the float was patrolling the streets, the mysterious witch of the state appeared and sat on the float to accept the crowd. , There are also flower girls who spread flowers. They call this process the goddess scatters flowers. Those who get flowers on their bodies will be favored by the flower gods and bring good luck."
Ji Yue said: "That scene must be very chaotic."
"It's the best time for us to do it." Wei Lian said.
Everyone was scrambling for flowers, and probably no one thought that someone would assassinate the national witch.
Naturally, there will be a large number of soldiers to protect the national sorcerer, but this is not worth mentioning before the martial arts of Wei Lian and Ji Yue. It's easy for them to kill a person. Often, before people can react in full view, the person they are targeting is already dead, and no one can even find their trace.
"But the problem is," Wei Lian said again, "We still don't have enough evidence to prove that the national sorcerer is the one who cast the curse."
Although the suspicion of a national witch is high, it is not 100% after all. It would be embarrassing to kill the wrong person.
"Myerna's clue is temporarily interrupted, and I haven't found any problems with her." Wei Lian thought, "No problem is the biggest problem..."
"If Myerna has no way to start." Ji Yue gave him a way of thinking, "Then the holy son Aslan can be used as a breakthrough point."
"Aslan?"
"Didn't you see it?" Ji Yue said, "At the state banquet, his eyes never left Myerna. Obviously, he likes her."
"People always want to protect the people they like." Ji Yue said, "Just like I want to protect you."
Wei Lian turned his head away: "Let's talk about business." He had heard too many love words today, and he didn't want to kiss Ji Yue any more.
He was afraid that he couldn't help but throw people down again.
"Okay, let's get down to business." Ji Yue smiled and glanced at Wei Lian who was suddenly awkward, "If Aslan knew that the girl he liked was not naturally like that, but involuntarily, would he tell us what we need? information?"
Wei Lian was absent-minded: "We have no evidence to show that Myerna couldn't help it. Will he believe it?"
"What's wrong with you, Wei Xiaolian, has love made you stupid?" Ji Yue pinched his nose, "What evidence should I tell him, as long as there is any possibility, he will want to save Myerna from water and fire. "
"Never underestimate how much someone cares about their sweetheart."
Wei Lian refused to accept: "You are stupid."
He is the smartest person in the world.
Ji Yue raised his eyebrows: "Idiots say that."
Wei Lian was even more annoyed: "It's all your fault."
Ji Yue said coolly, "Fool still likes to push the pot."
Wei Lian thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with a rebuttal, and said in a resentful tone: "You don't love me anymore, and you don't even know how to let me. What good is it for you to be mad at me?"
Ji Yue was not like this before. Ji Yue, who could be teased by him until he blushed, didn't know which grave he was buried in. Now this thief is angry.
Ji Yue sneered: "Look at you cute."
Wei Lian: "It's no use complimenting me, you're just trying to humiliate me."
Ji Yue pierced his bulging cheeks again, and said in a low voice, "Don't seduce me, eh?"
Wei Lian: "???"
Ji Yue looked at the confused young man and raised the corners of his lips.
He really thought that Wei Lian's frowning and tantrums was cute.
Wei Lian is too prudent, so sophisticated and precocious since childhood, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. Thoughtful and wise, he learned to keep his face at the age of the crown, and he did a good job in all aspects.
But he just wanted this person to taste the purest joy of all children, and wanted to make up for everything Wei Lian had been missing.
There's nothing wrong with being two naive ghosts.
What he wants is not a fairy figure who can't stand in the cold. Ji Yue brought him to the world, gave him a little bit of human flavor, taught him six emotions and six desires, and gave him joy and happiness.
This is the tenderest love and favor a king can give.
Annoyed to annoyed, Wei Lian felt that what Ji Yue said was very reasonable.
One road doesn't make a difference, and all roads lead to the city of Munch, Umulizi, and Harbosa—are you still worried about the dead end
On the fourth day of the eighth lunar month, Wei Lian visited Myerna again at the Hall of the Holy Virgin.
Myerna said last time that next time she comes here often, Wei Lian will treat her as not, no matter if she is polite or not.
Myerna didn't expect Wei Lian to come back for the second time in such a short time. She warmly welcomed him: "I thought you were gone. How long are you going to stay in Liang Country?"
Wei Lian said, "Didn't the girl say last time that the Flower God Festival is coming? You have to join in the fun now, and go to the next place after this festival."
"Yes." Myerna nodded, "Actually, I envy you. You can travel around the world, eat so many different things, and meet so many different people. The world is so big, you will definitely meet better people. , don't always think about that heartless man."
Wei Lian reacted for a while, before realizing that the heartless man was equal to Ji Yue.
Myerna took Wei Lian's silence as sad, and said angrily, "Oh, I'm stupid. I wanted to comfort you, but it reminds you of sad things again. Cough, change the subject, let's not mention him."
Wei Lian smiled softly again: "It's okay."
Myerna immediately covered her chest: "Don't laugh, it's so beautiful, I can't stand it. Hey, how come you have such a long face, why are you so beautiful? Young master, why don't you think about it, and come with me for some dew too? Marriage? Maybe you will like a woman in the future, and you can forget who it is."
Her face control attributes are extremely serious, and she can't stand against a beauty like Wei Lian.
In the past, Young Master Lian belonged to the King of Qin, and she could not touch him. But now it's different, Wei Lian is alone, and she is unparalleled.
Wei Lian said: "The girl is joking. I will break my sleeve next day."
Myerna didn't care: "What does it matter? How do you know if you don't try, your face really makes my heart move... "
Wei Lian's ear tip moved, and suddenly he quickly grabbed the mask on the table and put it on.
Aslan broke into the door behind him, and when he heard Myerna's words, "It made my heart move," most of his sanity suddenly lost.
He heard that Myerna had seen the same man twice, so he rushed over immediately. It should be noted that no matter how enthusiastic Myerna was to a man in the past, it was immediately dull after returning, so Aslan could only bear it when he was angry.
But the second time that Myerna saw a man for the first time, she also said something like "heartbeat" to him.
Is Myerna sincere
Aslan couldn't bear it.
It was his limit to indulge Myerna and other men to do that, and he couldn't accept that Myerna liked other men at all.
Anger swallowed reason, Aslan just wanted to kill the man favored by Myerna.
Wei Lian dodged an attack quite embarrassedly. In Myerna's eyes, he was just a weak man with no strength. If he exposed the fact that he knew martial arts, it would make Myerna think that he was the one who stole the Resurrection Pill, and then he would not be able to play. .
After all, Myerna had suspected him at the beginning.
But Aslan came, and the purpose of leading the snake out of the hole was achieved. He really cares about Myerna.
"Aslan! Stop it!" Myerna stood in front of Wei Lian, "Do you know who he is!"
Aslan's eyes darkened: "Get out of the way!"
Myerna retorted: "I won't let it!"
"You better get out of the way, girl." Wei Lian stood up slowly, "I just happen to have something to say."
