Seeing that Shang Yunze seemed to have suffered a great blow, Mu Qingshan took the initiative to say, "Let's go out for a walk?" Anyway, I bought and cheated, and being upset didn't help, maybe it would be better to relax.
Shang Yunze said, "How about having a glass of wine together?"
"Drinking?" Mu Qingshan was in a dilemma, "But I don't know much about drinking, and I get drunk easily."
"Then watch me drink." Shang Yunze made a compromise.
Mu Qingshan thought, it turns out that the people in the Jianghu are really like this, they will be drunk and dream about death when they are not happy, just like what the storyteller in the teahouse said, so he nodded and agreed, "That's fine."
Shang Yunze held the wine jar in his left hand, hugged him with his right hand, and took a few steps up to the roof.
Mu Qingshan said, "The castle master should drink less, or it will hurt your health."
Shang Yunze set out two wine bowls, one of which was only shallowly poured.
Mu Qingshan imitated him and took a sip, feeling that he was quite a hero.
Shang Yunze smiled, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The breeze is gentle, and the moonlight is just right.
In the government office opposite, Wen Liunian was stretching in the study.
Zhao Yue said, "Go back to sleep when you're sleepy."
Wen Liunian shook his head, "It's still early."
"Staring at the map all the time, you may not be able to find the answer." Zhao Yue said, "It's better to have a good sleep and think about it when you wake up tomorrow morning."
Wen Liunian still didn't want to go back to his room.
Zhao Yue suddenly said, "How about I go to Cangmang Mountain for you?"
"The head of the family?" Wen Liunian raised his head when he heard the words, with some surprise in his eyes.
"I originally lived in Chaomuya, and I have a different identity from the people in Chasing Shadow Palace." Zhao Yue said, "Even if I was discovered by the other party, it can be inferred that I want to cooperate and discuss how to deal with the government's encirclement and suppression together."
"I don't want anyone to enter the mountain alone." Wen Liunian frowned.
"This is the only way." Zhao Yue said, "Besides, the other party may not be able to find me."
Wen Liunian still disagreed, "But now that Chaomuya is empty, even if the people in Mujiazhuang don't know, the Tiger Head Gang may not know about it. How will the head of the family explain it?"
"This is even more confusing." Zhao Yue said, "The vicinity of Chaomu Cliff is my territory, and it has almost never been set foot by outsiders. There are many organs and secret passages set up by Lu Zhui in the back mountain, and there are many water streams, karst caves and deep canyons. Ditch, there are plenty of places to hide people.”
Wen Liunian said, "Let me think about it again."
Zhao Yue continued to pour tea for himself, and the bookworm was Moji.
After a cup of tea, Wen Liunian was still thinking.
Zhao Yue yawned and reached out to close his books.
Wen Liunian: ...
"I've been bored in the room, and I'll only get more and more dizzy." Zhao Yue pulled him to stand up, "Go, I'll take you to Cangwu Mountain."
"Where?" Wen Liunian thought he had heard wrong.
"Cangmang Mountain." Zhao Yue tapped his head, "Don't worry, I won't meet Mujiazhuang or Tiger Head Gang, just go to relax."
Wen Liunian said, "The government office garden can also relax." Even though he is a little smaller, he can walk around in circles, so why do he have to go to Cangmang Mountain
But Zhao Yue obviously didn't intend to ask for his opinion.
Hei Feng was dozing off in the stable, Zhao Yue untied the horse's reins, and put Wen Liunian on it.
Sitting on the roof, Mu Qingshan saw it from a distance, a little strange, "What are Master Zhao and your lord going to do?"
"I don't know." Shang Yunze raised his head to drink.
Mu Qingshan continued to crane his neck to look.
Zhao Yue led the horse out of the government office, turned over and sat behind Wen Liunian, and took out a black scarf to cover his face so as not to be hit by others.
Hei Feng flicked his tail happily, spread his hooves and galloped forward, leaving the city at a fast speed.
Wen Liunian was not that afraid of riding a horse, but felt that the night wind was a bit cold, so he tucked his hands into his sleeves.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to put one hand around his waist to avoid throwing him down.
"My lord was taken to Cangwu Mountain by the master?" Zhao Wu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Hua Tang nodded, "The dark guards have already followed."
"You two don't need to worry." Lu Zhui was drinking with Zhao Wu, and laughed after hearing about it, "The boss is not reckless, he should just go out and relax."
"Let's relax?" Huatang was even more puzzled, "Why did the relationship suddenly become so good?" They were able to go out together to relax.
"It has nothing to do with whether the relationship is good or not." Lu Zhui said, "Go out and have a look, maybe you will have new ideas and ideas, and with new ideas and ideas, you can solve the banditry in Cangwu Mountain earlier. After all, the Mu family is now The people in Zhuang are just outside the city, but the head of the family is unable to take action due to the promise, so he will only want to eliminate the tiger head gang more than the adults."
"I see." Hua Tang realized.
"So you two don't need to worry." Lu Zhui said, "The master is very familiar with the situation of the boundless mountain, and you will definitely not be in danger."
"Ah!" Heifeng stopped suddenly, and Wen Liunian threw himself forward.
Zhao Yue hugged his waist tightly and carried him off the horse.
Wen Liunian's heart was pounding.
"This is called Lianxing Valley." Zhao Yue said.
"Huh?" Standing beside him, Wen Liunian turned his head to look around, and saw that it was a long and narrow valley, pitch black, and there was nothing to see.
Zhao Yue said, "Heaven."
Wen Liunian looked up.
The continuous galaxy is magnificent and bright, almost traversing the entire sky.
"A lot of stars." Wen Liunian was amazed.
"It is said that this is the place where the stars rise and fall." Zhao Yue sat on a big rock, "When you are not happy, it is very useful to come here to blow some air."
Sitting next to him, Wen Liunian felt that the view was indeed good, but it was a bit cold.
Seeing that he was rubbing his hands together, Zhao Yue put his robe on him.
"Cangmang Mountain is really big." Wen Liunian said, "There must be many different scenery."
"Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons in the mountains are more distinct than outside." Zhao Yue said, "In spring, there are flowers all over the sky, and in summer, when it rains, the whole mountain is hazy like a fairyland. In autumn, the golden woods are endless. There will be red lantern fruit, and when it is snowy in winter, there is not even a trace of other variegated colors, it is indeed more interesting than in the city."
"That's why this mountain should be returned to the people." Wen Liunian said, "The mountain is a cornucopia. When the time comes to cut firewood, open up wasteland, hunt and do business, the life of the big guys will be much easier."
"You are really a good official." Zhao Yue glanced at him.
Wen Liunian nodded, "Well, I'm a good official."
Zhao Yue wanted to laugh a little.
Wen Liunian continued to look up at the stars, his eyes were shining brightly, a few strands of hair were blown by the wind, and lightly brushed Zhao Yue's cheeks, a little itchy.
Zhao Yue reached out and pulled his hair.
Wen Liunian looked at him suspiciously, "Is there something wrong with the boss?"
Zhao Yue thought to himself that even the hair of a nerd is softer than ordinary people, and then remembered that he still had half a bag of peanut candy in his arms, so he took it out and handed it to him.
Wen Liunian took it over, "I didn't expect the boss to like sweets so much." It's really a sense of understanding.
Zhao Yue said stiffly, "I don't want to eat it myself."
Hei Feng was grazing grass at first, but when he saw it, he trotted over and rubbed Wen Liunian with his head.
Zhao Yue said, "It likes to eat."
Wen Liunian: ...
Heifeng looked at him with watery eyes, his eyelashes flickering.
Wen Liunian laughed out loud, and fed a piece of peanut candy.
"Eat it yourself." Zhao Yue said, "Old Wang won't let him eat more sugar."
Wen Liunian said, "Guard Zuo doesn't let me eat more sugar."
Zhao Yue: ...
But it’s rare to come out, and it’s okay to steal it once in a while. Wen Liunian and Hei Feng each finished half a packet of peanut candy, and then patted the candy residue, feeling very satisfied.
Zhao Yue stretched out his finger and said, "Cross the first five or six hills, and that's the site of Hutougang."
"The boss is really going?" Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue nodded.
"Is it to settle the old score with the people in Mujiazhuang as soon as possible?" Wen Liunian asked again.
Zhao Yue said, "Yes."
Wen Liunian didn't ask any more questions.
"After taking revenge, I will return to Cangwu Mountain." Zhao Yue said.
"Live here forever?" Wen Liunian asked.
Zhao Yue smiled, "Just like what Lu Zhui said, it's actually a blessing to be able to spend your life here without being disturbed."
Wen Liunian let out a "hmm" and continued to stare at Xinghe in a daze.
"What about you? I heard from Lu Zhui that the emperor wants to call you back to the capital?" Zhao Yue asked again.
"Perhaps." Wen Liunian said, "The emperor wanted to put me in the Imperial Academy back then, because I wanted to be a local official. Otherwise, I would have been immersed in learning in the imperial court, and I wouldn't know what the people wanted. What do you want?"
Zhao Yue began to feel that the emperor took advantage of having such a person in the court.
Inside Shang's mansion, Mu Qingshan was leaning against Shang Yunze's arms, sleeping with his eyes closed - he is indeed not very strong at drinking, he was already groggy after drinking less than a bowl.
Shang Yunze carried him back to the bedroom next door, gently placed him on the bed, helped him take off his coat, and poured hot tea for him to rinse his mouth.
Mu Qingshan frowned and complained, "Headache."
Shang Yunze somewhat regretted letting him drink.
Mu Qingshan grabbed his sleeves and shrank his whole body into his arms. The collar of his inner shirt slid down his shoulders, revealing a shallow knife wound. When he was a child, he almost lost his life when he encountered bandits going down the mountain.
Shang Yunze lowered his head, and gently kissed that fair shoulder.
