Chapter 73

In Lianzhou, the accent of the local people sounds interesting, soft and soft, and the ending is even more brisk. Lu Zhun bought two pears along the way, and after that, he repeated his tongue over and over again: "Crispy and sweet, fragrant pears that moisten the throat."

Rong Luoyun gnawed on one: "Third brother, Shangguandao."

The two walked out of the forest and reached the official road. The horse was walking slowly and tiredly. The sunset gradually faded, and it was night, and the posthouse next to the official road hung orange lanterns.

Rong Luoyun turned over and landed, and handed the pony to the boy in the posthouse. Lu Zhun followed and asked with concern, "Is there any vacancy in the posthouse?"

The boy replied: "Yes, but the price has been raised."

Lu Zhun was not happy when he heard that, because of the war in Saibei, the large goods going to the north and the personal belongings of the darts have been greatly reduced. The business is deserted and the price is raised. What is the reason

The boy said: "The guest officer doesn't know something, it is because of the battle in Saibei." He was dark, but he couldn't hide his complacency, "Son of Dingbeihou, Huo Linfeng, General Huo, can the guest officer know?"

Rong Luoyun raised his eyes suddenly, and the stranger spat out the word "Huo Linfeng", which caught him off guard. Carrying a bamboo basket and scratching the pattern of the rattan with his fingernails, he shook his head.

"General Huo returned to Serbia to fight, and the posthouses along the way are full of guards. Our house is one of them." The young man said, as if talking about a glorious event, "This was appointed by the imperial court. General Huo Of course, the prices of the posthouses where I have stayed have gone up.”

That was the case, Lu Zhun became more and more unhappy when he heard this, and spat: "The price has increased since Huo Linfeng has lived there, the bed he slept in, the bucket he bathed in, and the spoon he used, just offer them up and burn incense!"

The young man couldn't argue, so he took the pony and hid in the backyard. In a few words, it was completely dark. Rong Luoyun and Lu Zhun entered the hall, they were very hungry, so they had some food on the first floor.

There is only one table of people eating together, it is quite deserted, and the words can be heard clearly. Rong Luoyun drank tea quietly. The bamboo basket was placed on the bench and covered with a lid, giving off a faint animal smell.

Lu Zhun was so curious all the way, he couldn't hold back, and lifted the lid lightly with his hand. Pa-ta, just opened a small gap, then suddenly closed it again, and there was a wolf in the bamboo basket!

"Second brother, what are you doing with it?!" He lowered his tone, "There is no one with a living thing!"

Rong Luoyun sipped weak tea: "Aren't you a living thing too?" Just as he was talking, the food was brought, and he held up a bowl of warm rice, "Eat, little living thing."

Lu Zhun couldn't help being teased, and ate obediently, but kept his eyes on the bamboo basket. Strangely, during the bumpy road, the little beast didn't show its head, nor did it whine.

Just opened the lid and looked, it seems to be still sleeping

He asked, "Second Brother, why is the wolf cub so peaceful?"

Rong Luoyun said, "Knocked to death."

Lu Zhun frightened off the chopsticks, a tiger would not eat a child, this brother is so cruel. After thinking about it, he is also a "living creature" in the eyes of the other party. If he is annoyed, will he give him a slap

The little God of Wealth was trembling, and put the chicken wings, fish maw, and tender cabbage into Rong Luoyun's bowl. Rong Luoyun looked up at him, and he smiled, like a considerate little lady in Chaomu Building.

Rong Luoyun was a ruthless benefactor, he just ate it blindly, and then gnawed on the chicken wings. As soon as he bit off the tip of the wing, the cups at the next table collided and drank like no one else was there.

One of them said: "It's still Taiping in the south of the Yangtze River, and that bitter cold place will make people suffer."

Another person echoed: "It can't be helped, my brother is in the leather goods business, so how can we not be spared that crime." Filled up the wine, the smell of wine was mixed with resentment, "However there is a war in the north, that's all, go to Jiangnan early for the winter."

After saying this, he smiled tacitly, with a vague hint of obscenity. "Elder brother didn't bring a wife and children?" said the younger one, "I heard that elder brother bought a house in the south of the Yangtze River and married a beautiful concubine?"

Rong Luoyun's ears were pricked up, his brows were lowered and his eyes were lowered, as if he was eating intently, but he was actually listening with gusto. These businessmen traveling between the north and the south have wives and children in their hometowns, and they buy outhouses in the south of the Yangtze River, how heartless they are.

"Brother, have you heard that General Huo lived here a while ago." The elder said, "If General Huo never returns, how lonely will his concubine and love in Xiganling be?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhun stole a glance at Rong Luoyun, and that cucumber's heart twitched a little. Without waiting for him to calm down, the next door said: "I heard that General Huo doesn't like to seek flowers and ask willows, so he is quite self-sufficient."

Another person retorted: "There is no such man in the world, just cover it up." Then he lowered his voice and said secretly, "That's for the higher-ups to see, dignified young master, the daughter to marry must be a lady from a famous family, princess Maybe, how dare you spread the name of a romantic and unruly flower?"

The words fell into his ears, Rong Luoyun put down his chopsticks, and glanced to the side. Afraid of the murder, Lu Zhun quietly tugged on Rong Luoyun's sleeve.

Rong Luoyun broke away: "I'm tired, go upstairs to rest."

Lu Zhun got up immediately, went back to the room with the bamboo basket, closed the door, and took the wolf cub out and put it on the couch. "Second brother, are you annoyed?" He hesitated, "Actually, what those two said made a little sense..."

Rong Luoyun circled behind the screen, took off his clothes, and sat down in the bucket with a plop. What's the reason, the reason for marrying a famous lady, or the reason for marrying a princess

Lu Zhun said: "The important thing is not who to marry, but whether to marry. Even if he still misses you, if his father wants him to marry, he will not be able to disobey his father's order..."

The scene behind the screen is hazy, with hot air and smoke curling up, and Rong Luoyun's words are very cold and hard. "Father's order?" He snorted softly, "Then I killed his father, what father's order is there?"

Lu Zhun was stunned, and hugged the wolf cub tightly in horror, God, even dare to kill the father of his sweetheart, it's crazy. He was both frightened and curious, what would happen if Huo Linfeng really married someone else

With the sound of splashing water, Rong Luoyun came out wrapped in a robe, his whole body was steaming with heat and humidity, his face, knees, and a pair of feet dripping with water, all were soaked in pale pink.

The person is just like the name, with a good face and a lingering attitude.

With this appearance, he should be a young man with weak writing skills, holding a book and a pen, and speaking sour words and poems. But he approached, grabbed the wolf, stroked the little beast and asked, "What did you say?"

Lu Zhun's Adam's apple rolled: "If Huo Linfeng gets married, what should I do..."

Rong Luoyun said softly: "I really killed him."

Even if he is a famous lady, a princess of the royal family, if he dares to marry Huo Linfeng, he is ready to be a widow. At this time, the wolf cub woke up with a start, his body was hunched up, and he only opened his black eyes.

Rong Luoyun hugged the wolf cub onto the bed and lay down, facing inward, stroking the wolf cub's ears. He just said it fiercely, but now as soon as he touches the pillow, his body relaxes, and his mood changes from hard to soft.

After a long while, he murmured, "Huo Linfeng probably won't let it go...I won't allow it."

Hearing this, Lu Zhun leaned over and coaxed clumsily: "Second brother, why bother with him, there are so many good men in the world." He touched Rong Luoyun's shoulder, "You love me the most, look at me its me."

Rong Luoyun frowned and looked: "Could it be that you also have broken sleeves?"

Lu Zhun was stunned: "I'm your good brother... If you want to break it, you should break me!"

Rong Luoyun really wanted to break this dog's leg, turned over, hugged the wolf cub and closed his eyes. Seeing this, Lu Zhun lay down on one side, feeling discouraged for a while.

He thought bitterly, maybe at this moment, Huo Linfeng's pillow on the high bed is happy.

General Huo was really wronged, don't even have a chair to sit on the high bed to warm the pillow. When it was almost the time of the child, most of the lights in Dingbeihou's mansion were extinguished, except for the candles in the study room.

He stood upright, with the thick carpet under his feet, swallowing the friction of the soles of his boots. Huo Zhao sat behind the desk, with a gloomy face, turning the finger on his left hand with his right hand.

After a long confrontation, Huo Zhao asked, "Where are the books?"

This is the third time, but Huo Linfeng's answer remains the same: "I left in a hurry and forgot to be in Xiganling."

Huo Zhao said: "Don't do this." His son, he knows the virtues inside and out, so he can see through lies naturally. "Nie Jing" is the only relic of Tang Zhen, and the contents of the book are more like treasures. How can it be an object that can be forgotten at will

"If you can't take it out today, just stay in the study and face the wall for a month."

Huo Linfeng said anxiously: "How can it be done? I need to return to the camp to oversee the army tomorrow!"

Huo Zhao's eyes were deep: "You can try."

The father of this extraordinary family has always said what he can do, Huo Linfeng held his hands behind his back, his fingers intertwined and entangled. He knows that paper can't cover fire, and this matter can't be kept secret.

Unexpectedly, Huo Zhao suddenly asked, "Who is Rong Luoyun?"

Huo Linfeng was startled suddenly, and was speechless in a daze. Huo Zhao actually smiled, and the corners of his mouth twitched a little: "My youngest son is in detention, of course I want to send someone to check it out."

The spies sent by the Hou's Mansion arrived long before a letter from the family who was "infected with the disease" was sent. To be on the safe side, the new faces that were specially selected are still hiding in Xiganling today.

Huo Linfeng was stiff all over: "Rong Luoyun is the leader of Uncommon Palace, he's just reckless."

Huo Zhao laughed and said, "That's not what my spies said." He got up and went around the table, oppressing his son like a copper wall, "You once saved his life, let him accompany you to see Shen Zhou, and allowed him to enter and leave the barracks , General’s Mansion, and revealed his military situation, and even allowed him to take a look at the family letter sent back, am I right?”

Cracks finally appeared in Huo Linfeng's calmness, and he stared at Huo Zhao in disbelief. One by one, no matter how spies can spy so far, they must be people who are hiding around him.

"Father," he asked, "who is your spy?"

Huo Zhao said, "You know Zhang Weiren."

It is absurd that the spies trained by the son were actually sent by the father a long time ago!

Huo Linfeng didn't care about being shocked, he only knew that the "Nie Jing" matter could no longer be hidden. He stared at Huo Zhao's tiger eyes, and nodded in recognition.

The calf suddenly hurt sharply, Huo Zhao kicked him to the ground: "Nonsense!"

He got up: "This is nonsense?!" From the past, Rong Luoyun gave up on him, hated him, and couldn't let him go because of the torture of love. The accumulation of time and time has brought him to the current situation, and he wants to vent a long time ago!

"There are more nonsense." He is like a frightened leopard, "Seeing Shen Zhou together, the relationship between Rong Luoyun and Shen Zhou is beyond my comparison."

"It doesn't matter if he comes in and out at will, he still sleeps in my military tent and on my high bed."

"Besides the military situation, the sailors have to rely on his younger brother for training."

"The family letter was not only allowed to be robbed by him, it was written in front of him!"

After Huo Linfeng said every word, he also smiled: "As for "Nie Jing", I also gave it to him."

Huo Zhao was so angry that he raised his big hand and swung it down vigorously. Huo Linfeng raised his arm to resist, with veins protruding from his forehead: "Father, this is called returning things to their original owners."

He gritted his teeth and said: "But if the relics can be returned, how can the lives of his parents be returned!"

Huo Zhao was full of surprise, only to hear Huo Linfeng's voice suddenly soft: "Rong Luoyun is an orphan of the Tang family."

With his arms hanging down, Huo Zhao took two steps back in a daze, touching the edge of the desk. The pine-like body suddenly hunched, as if it had been hit hard.

After a long time, he suddenly laughed, full of deep joy.

Huo Linfeng asked: "Father... what should I do?"

Huo Zhao replied, "I'll wait for the child to come."

— Bow down and hold the sword, life for life.
