Due to being really tired last night and due to illness, Wen Liunian slept soundly this time. Zhao Yue wandered around the study for a few times and had nothing to do, so he picked up the paintings that Lu Zhuida had praised before and looked at them, and felt... still a mess of black paint!
Wen Liunian coughed softly in his dream.
Zhao Yue stepped forward to pull up the slipped blanket and covered him again.
As the surroundings warmed up, Wen Liunian slept more and more soundly.
Zhao Yue sat back at the desk and yawned out of boredom. Later, he remembered that there was still a book in his arms, so he took it out to kill time, but after reading only two pages, he succeeded in getting angry again.
It's really tried and tested, and it doesn't work every time.
Turning his head to see that the bookworm was still sleeping, Master Zhao knocked him on the head angrily. Aren't all scholars supposed to be gentle, courteous and humble, why is this one so annoying
Wen Liunian frowned slightly, muttered something in a low voice, and turned over by the way.
Zhao Yue shook his head in his heart, and even missed the previous magistrate who was five big and three thick - if he really grew up like that, even if he felt angry, he could still fight with his bare hands without appearing to be bullying the other party. But now, not to mention a fight, even if he just speaks in a rough voice, it feels like he is bullying others.
Although he was the one being bullied.
The windows were not completely closed, and the wind blew up again at night. The hair on Wen Liunian's cheeks was slightly blown by the wind. He probably felt cold, so he hid under the blanket again.
Zhao Yue stood up and wanted to close the window for him, but he was pressed by the hem of his clothes, so he stretched out his hand and gently hugged him.
Lu Zhui just pushed open the door, followed by Mu Qingshan and Shang Yunze.
A gust of wind blew into the study, Wen Liunian shivered, opened his eyes in a daze, and yawned while leaning against Zhao Yue's arms.
Zhao Yue gritted his teeth, "Close the door."
Mu Qingshan quickly closed the door.
Zhao Yue: ...
After a while, Shang Yunze stood in the middle of the courtyard and said, "I think Master Zhao means to let us go in before closing the door."
Mu Qingshan: ...
They are clearly two people who will pinch each other when they meet, why do they hug each other and get on the soft couch after only a moment? !
Lu Zhui held the sugar cake and said, "I think there may be some misunderstandings."
The strong wind blew the leaves of grass, Zhao Yue opened the study door, his face was very dark. Because just now when Wen Liunian was stuffed into the bed, he was bitten again for no reason, and there are still teeth marks on the back of his hand.
Mu Qingshan silently hid behind Shang Yunze.
Lord Chambord is in a good mood.
Lu Zhui glanced inside, "What's wrong, my lord?"
Zhao Yue said with a paralyzed face, "I have a fever, let a doctor take a look, it must be due to a cold."
So that's the case... Mu Qingshan let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly sent for a doctor.
Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui were also preparing to go back to Tengyun Castle. After walking two steps, Master Zhao stopped, "Are you going to take this thing to eat on the road?"
Only then did Lu Zhui remember that he still had a pack of food in his hand, so he turned back and put it back in the study.
The two steeds galloped all the way, rolling away in the direction of leaving the city.
The next morning, the temperature on Wen Liunian's forehead dropped a lot, but his body was very sore.
"My lord is too tired these days." Mu Qingshan said, "There is no major event outside the city, my lord should rest for a few more days."
Wrapped in the quilt, Wen Liunian felt dizzy.
After a simple wash, the servants brought breakfast. Besides the usual porridge and side dishes, there were also a few golden and crispy sugar cakes, which looked very appetizing.
Mu Qingshan said, "I bought it from Lu Erzhang's house last night. At that time, my lord was in a daze, so I'm afraid I didn't remember much."
Wen Liunian stretched his waist, "The two masters have gone back?"
"I went back last night." Sitting across from him, Mu Qingshan also filled a bowl of porridge and drank slowly, "Zhao Dazhao is a person who respects his promises, since he promised to wait until the end of the bandit suppression, he will definitely not cause trouble in the middle , adults can rest assured."
"Naturally." Wen Liunian squeezed his chin, "Among the rivers and lakes, after all, there are still a lot of good people."
Mu Qingshan nodded, "Master Shang is also a good person."
Wen Liunian calmly picked up some pickles, "How is the relationship between master and castle master recently?"
"Very good." Mu Qingshan nodded earnestly, "Many things are done by Lord Shang, even he sent people to buy rice flour oil, and he also helped replace all the dilapidated tables and chairs in the government office."
"Only these?" Wen Liunian asked.
Mu Qingshan wondered, "Isn't this enough?" Even if you are a rich man, there is absolutely no reason to hold on to one and not let go, and even though Cangmang City is poor, there are still a few masters outside, why do you never see adults? blackmail
Wen Liunian had a deep meaning, "Perhaps Lord Shang thinks it's not enough."
Mu Qingshan firmly said, "I think it's enough!" You can't always think about taking advantage of others.
Wen Liunian ate sugar cakes slowly, "If you don't believe me, Master, you can ask Master Shang in person."
How to ask this? After breakfast, Mu Qingshan circled in the courtyard to digest, squatting down to watch the ants move.
"Little wood." Shang Yunze stepped into the courtyard gate.
"Castle Master." Mu Qingshan stood up.
Shang Yunze said, "I changed a new bed for you."
"Ah?" Mu Qingshan was shocked.
Shang Yunze said, "The bed before was too hard."
"It's too hard, just put a few more quilts, why change the whole bed?" Mu Qingshan felt very sorry.
Shang Yunze said, "It just so happens that there is a bed in Tengyun Fort that is not in use, it's better than throwing it away."
As soon as he heard that it was an idle item, Mu Qingshan didn't refuse any more, and there were still many official duties in the mansion, so he ran out and in a few times, and forgot about it in the afternoon.
In the evening, the dark guards brought back a few bandits, who said they also ran down the mountain by themselves, crying for an antidote.
The cell boss was overjoyed and handed out jelly beans one by one.
The bandits who surrendered this time called themselves the Black Wind Gang, and they said that there were only a dozen or twenty members in total.
"What was snatched away?" Wen Liunian ascended the hall overnight, although his face was still pale, but his majesty remained undiminished.
The bandit said, "It's not anything valuable, just some rice noodles and bacon, and even the salt was robbed."
Wen Liunian said, "Then is there anything valuable in the Black Wind Gang?"
The bandits all shook their heads, "No."
Mu Qingshan curled his lips at the side, living such a miserable life, then why did he become a bandit.
After the interrogation, Wen Liunian called the yamen servants to take the bandits back to the prison, and then picked up the confession to read, "What do you think, master?"
"I heard from Zhao Dazhang and others earlier that Hutougang should be regarded as a big bandit in the Cangwu Mountain." Mu Qingshan said, "Starting to grab rice, flour, grain and oil means that the stomach is not full, and if they can't even eat, then the rest Life will only get harder for the gangsters."
"This is also expected." Shang Yunze said, "It is impossible for the bandits to open up mountains and farms by themselves. They are all lacking something to rob, and now the adults have completely cut off their back roads. They have been sitting and eating for a long time. Naturally won't make it through."
"If you say that, then there is no need to fight." Mu Qingshan said, "You don't need to do anything, just guard the mountain road."
"It's too energy-intensive, and it's not worthwhile for us." Shang Yunze shook his head, "Life in the mountains is hard, but if you have perseverance, you may not be able to survive. After all, there are wild animals everywhere, and there are fish in the streams. If the other party We have been unwilling to go down the mountain, we can't always stay where we are."
"That's right." Mu Qingshan asked, "Then what should we do next?"
"Let's scare him a bit more for now." Wen Liunian said, "Those who stay in the mountains, we can think of other ways."
So from the next day, the rumors in the city became more and more unrestrained, and even mentioned the mysterious handsome man who hadn't appeared for a long time.
The common people gathered around like a tide, for fear of missing the exciting plot.
"It is said that a few nights ago, Zhuang Master Mu was practicing under the moon, and suddenly a red light lit up in the sky." The third son spit and splashed vividly, "Then I saw a silver-armored god of war riding a pegasus, galloping from the clouds !"
Wow! The common people covered their mouths one after another, this kind of picture really cannot be thought about carefully, the heart is surging!
"When he saw the person coming, Master Mu was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed ninety-nine and eighty-one, shouting that the immortal will save me!" Speaking of the rising point, Xiao Sanzi waved his hand violently!
The common people applauded collectively, feeling that Zhu Zhuangzhu is really sincere and will definitely be rewarded. After all, with so many heads, it will take a while even if you don't stop breathing.
And at the end of the story, under Mr. Zhao's immortal energy, Master Mu has indeed obtained the King of Ten Thousand Gus—it is said that as long as he raises it for a few more days, he can control all the poisonous insects in the mountain and kill people invisible.
"At that time, it will be too late even if you want to go down the mountain and surrender." The third son lowered his voice, "Because there is no cure for the poison of the Gu king."
The tone was quite gloomy, and the people felt that they were frightened.
The bandits in the mountains were also frightened.
So in just five days, they ran down again, at least hundreds of people, for fear that they would be bitten by the Gu king too late, and their seven orifices would bleed to death.
The more people there are, the more confessions will naturally increase. Wen Liunian and Mu Qingshan stayed up for seven or eight whole nights before they finished interrogating everyone and analyzed the clues one by one. Finally sorted out the general situation in the Cangwu Mountain.
Everyone was rejoicing, only the Mu Brothers felt tight in their chests and felt aggrieved—kneeling and kowtowing on the spot? !
Wen Liunian said calmly, "I only said what the owner of the villa did to Yue, and I don't know anything about the rest. It's probably because the common people spread rumors."
So Mu Wanlei had no choice but to continue to be irritable, thinking that he must cut Zhao Yue into pieces, so as to relieve his hatred.
But Wen Liunian obviously didn't pay much attention to him, after finishing his work, seeing that it was still early, he took a walk all the way back to the government office, thinking about sleeping for a while.
"Master Wen." Lu Zhui was waiting for him in the study.
"Why is the second boss here?" Wen Liunian was a little surprised.
Lu Zhui said, "Please ask for something."
Wen Liunian sat across from him, "The second head has something to do, but it's okay to talk about it, why do you use the word 'begging'."
Lu Zhui smiled, "Da Dangjia and I want to live in another place."
"Where to change?" Wen Liunian frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Lu Zhui said, "The opposite of the government office is also the residence of Lord Shang."
