After returning to Chaomu Cliff, the little brother guarding the mountain gate was very frightened, the face of the head was really dark, what happened, it was very scary.
Lu Zhui handed him a glass of water, "Being able to be transferred to Cangwu City as an official from thousands of miles away should indeed have two brushes, so you don't have to worry about being a leader."
Zhao Yue said, "That bookworm not only has two brushes, he is simply a brush seller."
Lu Zhui sighed, "It's rare to see the boss so angry."
Zhao Yue was indeed angry.
Usually surrounded by people who practice martial arts, even if the heart is not happy, a fight will be over, but this time the other party is a scholar with no strength to restrain a chicken, pure and gentle, looking innocently in front of him One stop, not to mention a fight, even if you just poke it with your finger, you will feel like you will fall to the ground—of course, it is also possible that you deliberately fell to the ground to blackmail yourself.
"Can you still be a simple and honest nerd?" Zhao Yue was irritable.
Lu Zhui suppressed a smile, shook his head and poured himself a cup of tea.
Inside the government office, Wen Liunian was propping his cheek with one hand, looking outside thoughtfully, and would smile from time to time. The yamen servant passed by the door, and he couldn't help but tremble a little, my lord is bewitched.
Mu Qingshan also had puzzled eyes, wanting to go into the study to see what happened.
"It's almost dawn." Shang Yunze held him back, "I'll talk about something tomorrow morning, go and rest."
"Not very sleepy." Mu Qingshan said.
"Sleep even if you are not sleepy." Shang Yunze frowned, "Otherwise, how will you gain weight?"
Mu Qingshan was puzzled, "Why should I grow flesh?"
Shang Yunze paused, and said, "Because of being rich."
Mu Qingshan: ...
Wen Liunian picked up the portrait of Zhao Yue on the table and looked carefully at the lamp.
There was a strange feeling in Mu Qingshan's chest.
Shang Yunze also couldn't help laughing, "Looking at this posture, it doesn't look like he's going to Cangmang Mountain to suppress the bandits, but it looks like he's going to hire Chaomuya."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Mu Qingshan glared at him.
Shang Yunze said, "What are you afraid of, my lord can't hear you."
"I heard it." Wen Liunian stroked his chin, "Master."
"My lord." Mu Qingshan stepped into the study.
"What do you think of Zhao Yue as a person?" Wen Liunian asked.
"It's hard to say that we know each other well." Mu Qingshan said, "But it's really not like a treacherous person."
"Where is Lord Shang?" Wen Liunian asked again.
Shang Yunze said, "Before I thought that the Cangwu Mountains were full of reckless men, but according to tonight, Zhao Yue's kung fu is actually not weak, and he also had reservations when he was fighting with me."
"Compared to the castle master?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Shang Yunze immediately said, "Of course it's still not as good as me."
"I also don't think he is a villain." Wen Liunian said, "Since he is not a villain, then he must be summoned down the mountain. At most, he will be released back to Chaomuya after the bandits are suppressed. At that time, the mountain will be quiet. Isn’t it a beautiful thing to have a stable city?”
Mu Qingshan said, "Your Excellency wants to tell Zhao Yue, but he doesn't seem to be a person who can listen to persuasion."
"No problem." Wen Liunian said, "I'm a good eloquent officer."
Mu Qingshan was silent when he heard the words, and thought to himself, when he left tonight, his whole face was pale with anger.
"After ten days, do you think he will come?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Why didn't you come?" Wen Liunian said, "This official is so hospitable."
Mu Qingshan: ...
"Besides, if he refuses to come, I will take it as a default." Wen Liunian smiled.
Shang Yunze said from the bottom of his heart, "Your Excellency is really the pillar of the country." There was still a word left unsaid, the thickness of the skin was beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Castle Master, thank you." Wen Liunian thanked him with a gentle and kind demeanor.
Shang Yunze began to sincerely thank the letter from Shadow Chasing Palace, which allowed Teng Yunbao to join the government camp in the first place. At first, he was a little unhappy and felt coerced by others, but now it seems that the letter helped It wasn't Wen Liunian, but himself—otherwise, according to the behavior style of this magistrate, I don't know what method he would come up with to "invite him with kindness".
Just thinking about it makes my back go numb.
Three days later, Wang Tianhu's gang was imprisoned in a prison car, paraded through the streets and sent to Cang'er Prefecture for interrogation and exile. a bit.
The twelfth lunar month is approaching, and the schools and charitable halls in the city have been completed. Every day when passing by, you can hear the scholar Langlang. The old man sits in the courtyard and basks in the sun, very peaceful and happy.
"Not bad." Wen Liunian and Mu Qingshan walked on the street together, each holding a bunch of candied haws, "It's just that the atmosphere of Chinese New Year is missing."
"The New Year in Yunlan City is very lively, isn't it?" Mu Qingshan asked.
"Naturally." Wen Liunian nodded, "every year before the twelfth lunar month, we start to be busy. On the thirty day of the new year, there is still a stage, and the riverside is so crowded that it is difficult to even walk. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, people who guess lantern riddles can squeeze the boat out." .”
"That's great." Mu Qingshan smiled enviously, "Since I was born, Cangwu City has never been lively."
"Chinese New Year should always look like Chinese New Year." Wen Liunian said.
"The people celebrate the New Year, and the bandits also celebrate the New Year." Mu Qingshan said, "Every time before the New Year came, almost all the bandits entered the city to rob. Everyone is in danger, and they can't even protect themselves. How can they buy New Year's goods with peace of mind? .”
Wen Liunian shook his head, "Magistrates are idiots, and the only ones who suffer are the common people."
Mu Qingshan smiled and said, "It's rare to see an adult be so straightforward."
"Wang Tianhu's gang is gone, and there is Tengyun Fort in the city. I think the people should be able to live a stable year." Wen Liunian ate the last candy hawthorn, and then wiped his hands, "Come on, let's go to the market to see look."
Mu Qingshan nodded, holding half a bunch of candied haws and sighed while walking, although the lord looked gentle, but he was really quick to eat.
Although it can't be compared with Misty Cloud City, compared with before, the market in Cangwu City has become much more lively and bustling, and there are even many rare things brought in from outside. Wen Liunian was not surprised, but Mu Qingshan had never been out of Cangwu City since he was a child, so he would inevitably pay more attention to it.
"Like?" Shang Yunze asked beside him.
"Lord Shangbao." Mu Qingshan was taken aback, "Why are you here?"
Shang Yunze said, "By the way."
"I'm here to accompany you to inspect the people's situation." Mu Qingshan put down the gadget in his hand, "Hey, where is your lord?"
"Going to have dinner with the disciples of Tengyun Castle." Shang Yunze said.
Mu Qingshan: ...
Why don't you wait for me.
"Everyone, take it easy." As a literati, Mrs. Wen was very out of breath. Before in the Shadow Chasing Palace, he was always carried away by the dark guards, why now that he is in the Boundless City, he still can't escape this kind of scene.
The little disciple of Tengyunbao dragged Wen Liunian, walking like flying - must not let Master Mu see, otherwise he will be punished by the fort!
"Are we going to eat too?" Shang Yunze asked.
"Okay." Mu Qingshan agreed very readily.
Lord Shang was in a happy mood, but before he had time to propose a restaurant, Mu Qingshan was already sitting at a nearby stall.
Shang Yunze: ...
"Sit down." Mu Qingshan called him, and then said to the boss, "Uncle Zhang, two bowls of sliced noodles, and some side dishes."
"Okay." Although the stall owner is old, his hands and feet are very nimble, and he smiled while cooking noodles, "Yesterday your sister-in-law was still saying that little wood has grown up and has become a master of wood."
Mu Qingshan blushed, a little embarrassed.
"Little wood?" Shang Yunze sat beside him.
"Don't bark!" Mu Qingshan gave him a fierce look.
Lord Shang was in a great mood, and took out an elegant little jade pendant from his sleeve, "This is for you."
"Why?" Mu Qingshan picked it up and looked at it.
"It's just a small thing." Shang Yunze said, "It looks like the carving is pretty good."
"I can't take it." Mu Qingshan shook his head, "There is a word 'Shang' on it, which is clearly given to the castle owner by someone else, so it should be kept well." Shang Yunze frowned, "Why are there so many problems? You take it and take it!"
"Even if the castle owner doesn't like it, there's no reason for him to give it to someone else." Mu Qingshan insisted.
Shang Yunze gritted his teeth, you know it's out of his heart.
"Noodles are ready." Uncle Zhang brought up two steaming bowls of sliced noodles. One bowl was filled with red chili oil and green onion and coriander. The combination with the white noodles was truly appetizing. The other bowl is boiled white noodles in white soup, with a few extra pieces of beef covered on top.
"Can it be delicious?" Shang Yunze felt a toothache when he saw his bowl.
"Naturally delicious." Mu Qingshan handed him the chopsticks, "I have eaten noodles here since I was a child."
"That's right." Uncle Zhang also laughed when he heard it, and by the way he cooked another plate of green vegetables and bean sprouts for the two of them.
Shang Yunze said, "It's really hard to raise."
Mu Qingshan curled his lips, "I don't want you to support me."
Shang Yunze was taken aback when he heard the words, and turned to look at him.
Mu Qingshan didn't notice anything at all, he was still carefully picking bean sprouts to eat, his expression was very serious, because it was cold in winter, he was wearing a lot of clothes, and his face was only as big as a palm.
Shang Yunze took a deep breath, then lowered his head and ate a chopstick noodle.
Nerds are a real killer.
And Zhao Yue on Chaomu Cliff also felt that nerds were killing people.
"The master." Lu Zhui was originally reading in the study, but he was a little dizzy at this moment, "Can you sit down first?"
Zhao Yue pulled out a chair and sat opposite him, with dark circles under his eyes.
Lu Zhui looked at him sympathetically, "Did the boss really stay up all night?"
"Close your eyes and dream of Mr. Wen." Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, and broke out in a cold sweat in the middle of the night, who could still sleep.
Lu Zhui said, "There are still eight days before the ten-day deadline, and the boss can't stay up all the time."
Zhao Yue said, "Who said I'm going?!"
Lu Zhui: ...
