Neatly trimmed trees hide a palace. The breeze was blowing, and the bells were melodious. I didn't expect that there would be such a quiet place in the noisy city of Tianyun.
Lu Mingshu followed Xie Xing into the palace, but he saw that he knew his way like an old horse, turning left and right, and didn't meet anyone on the road.
In the end, I arrived at a remote garden, and under the cover of a rockery, I pulled out a blade of grass, smoothed it out, put it in my mouth, and blew a whistle.
After blowing several times, he stopped, leaned against the rockery, and waited silently.
Not long after, hurried footsteps sounded outside, and a Taoist nun rushed in.
Seeing him, the man was surprised and delighted, unbelievable, finally lowered his voice and called out: "Cousin!"
This Taoist nun is only in her twenties, wearing a patchwork robe, a lotus flower crown on her head, and holding a whisk in her hand, she looks dusty.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lu Mingshu couldn't have believed that County Mistress Jiayan would have become like this. She is like this now, how can she still look like the unruly county lord back then
Xie Xingchen smiled slightly: "Jiayan, long time no see."
County Lord Jiayan almost burst into tears, and managed to hold back her excitement. She stepped forward and grabbed him and said, "Cousin, how have you been all these years? Why are you so courageous? You even came to the capital! Look at what you're wearing, you're suffering..."
Lu Mingshu wanted to roll his eyes. suffer? His clothes didn't look out of the ordinary, the fabric was exchanged from Tianlun, it was only one foot long, and it was worth a dozen or so profound crystals, the one hundred profound crystals she lost back then wasn't enough!
"cough."
Hearing the clear coughing sound, Jiayan realized that Lu Mingshu was leaning against the side of the rockery. She just rolled her eyes, turned around to block Lu Mingshu inside, and pulled Xie Xingchen to talk: "Cousin, where have you been these two years..."
She chirped and asked a bunch of questions, Xie Xingchen raised his hand to block it, and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm back this time, I have something to do, and I came here to ask for your help."
"What can I help you with? Cousin, tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help!"
Xie Xing said in a deep voice: "You help me arrange two identities, those who can enter the Seven True Views during the Qilin meeting, and..."
While he was talking, Jiayan nodded and patted her chest to reassure: "It's all trivial, just leave it to me."
"Thank you very much."
"What did you say to thank me?" Jiayan said angrily.
"Okay, let's not talk about it." He looked outside, "We can't delay for too long, you can go back. I will come to pick up things in two days."
"Let's go now!" Jiayan reluctantly said.
Xie Xing said with a deep smile: "I can't help it, I can't see anyone now, it's not good for others to see me."
"All right… "
He winked at Lu Mingshu, and the two were about to leave.
"Wait!" Jiayan said, "You go first, I'll have a few words with her."
She pointed to Lu Mingshu.
Xie Xingchen frowned: "What do you have to say?"
Jiayan stomped her feet: "Anyway, I have something to say!" She said jealously, "If you protect her like this, I won't be able to eat her!"
After receiving Lu Mingshu's gaze, he nodded: "Okay. I'll wait at the door, hurry up."
"understood!"
When his figure disappeared, the head of Jiayan County looked at Lu Mingshu and sneered twice: "Isn't Miss Lu proud of her spring breeze? There will be a day of hiding in Tibet?"
Lu Mingshu held his sword and leaned against the rockery: "Fortunately, I'm used to these days. Is this what the county lord wants to say?"
"Hmph!" The other party didn't answer at all, and Jiayan had no choice but to stop there and say, "Lu Mingshu, I don't want to bring up the past. I just want to ask, are you sincere to my cousin?"
Lu Mingshu said lightly: "I don't have the habit of explaining things to others."
Jiayan's face darkened: "Do you think I want to take care of it? You want to be alone, I will take care of you! Anyway, listen to me, my cousin has nothing now, only you, if you feel sorry for him, I will I won't let you go."
"Thanks for the advice, is there any more?"
Jiayan was annoyed by her attitude: "You answer that you can die?"
"..." Lu Mingshu remained calm, "The county chief has nothing to do, so I'll leave first."
County Mistress Jiayan glared at her for a while, then flicked her fly whisk angrily: "Scroll."
"Farewell."
Lu Mingshu came out and met Xie Xingshen who was waiting at the gate of the garden, and the two returned the same way.
After leaving the palace, she asked: "Where is this place? County Mistress Jiayan is so nice, why does she live here?"
She remembered that when King Yijun was imprisoned in Qizhen Temple, County Lord Jiayan was not implicated. There is only so little blood in the royal family, except Shi Yu is her. She is still the head of the county and still enjoys status and food.
In other words, she can still be the majesty of the county, so why dress like this and live in this palace? Cold and cheerless, it's really not like Jiayan's character.
Xie Xing said in a deep voice: "Don't be prejudiced against her. Jiayan's nature is not bad, but she is ignorant. She practiced here, and her temperament has been worn down in the past few years, and her cultivation base has also improved a lot."
Lu Mingshu glanced at him: "Hey! I've never treated her well, okay? It's obviously your cousin who slapped her in the face without mercy."
Xie Xingchen laughed: "That's right, it's my fault."
He sighed softly, and said: "Jiayan is actually very pitiful. Her mother passed away very early. The way Yijun Wang spoils her is to let her go, and he rarely has time to accompany her. Sometimes I am idle and bored, and play with her After a while, she was very happy. Even if I treated her like that before, she didn't care, and only remembered my kindness. "
"In comparison, I was an asshole before. I never really treated her well. I always found her annoying and stupid."
Needless to say, Lu Mingshu had seen Xie Lianzhen's virtue before.
"Are you so enlightened that you have changed your past?"
He looked over with a smile in his eyes: "If you think I need to change, then change it."
Lu Mingshu didn't answer.
After walking for a while, she suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Mingshu pulled him and hid in an alley.
Someone walked by outside, and the voice came over: "Master Fu is in great interest to visit Sky Fortune City alone."
Then, there was another voice: "Your Excellency is..."
"I'm Huo Zhengfeng of the Jade Blood Sect. I'm a nobody. I don't think I've heard of Fu Sect Leader." The man said with a smile.
"It turned out to be Brother Huo, look forward to it for a long time."
"Don't dare dare..." The two chatted for a few words, quite speculatively, they found a teahouse and went in to talk.
Xie Xingchen looked at Lu Mingshu: "Your father is here?"
She nodded.
"It's rare. Sect Leader Fu personally dispatched, is he unwilling to be seized by you?" After the goddess sacrifice, it was no secret that Fu Shangqing, the Sect Leader, survived in name only.
Lu Mingshu thought for a while: "He has been the head of Jiuyao Palace for nearly twenty years, but he has never been outside. He came to Tianyun City suddenly, and it was during the Qilin meeting... Could it be that he also wants to be listed on the hero list?"
