"How about that Peacock Sect martial arts cheat book?" Wen Liunian asked after thinking about it.
"Looked at it roughly." Zhao Yue said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that it is four or five points similar to the kung fu I learned before."
"Really?" Wen Liunian wiped his face with a towel, "Probably because the martial arts all over the world come from the same clan."
Zhao Yue said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple."
"Oh?" Wen Liunian was puzzled, "Why is that?"
"Even if the world's martial arts come from the same sect, each sect has its own inner strength and mentality." Zhao Yue said, "I have never seen any two schools with such similar inner strength and mentality."
"So?" Wen Liunian asked.
"I don't know either." Zhao Yue shook his head, "It's just that I always feel a little strange. Maybe Senior Zhou knows my master?"
"Probably." Wen Liunian patted his chest, "Don't think about it for now, if you really have doubts, ask your adoptive father after he comes, and you will naturally know the answer."
Zhao Yue helped him adjust his clothes, and did not discuss this issue with him again.
Since they woke up a bit late, the rest of the people had already finished their dinner, so the two of them simply didn't go to the dining room, and asked the aunt to cook two marinated noodle soup to eat in the bedroom, and served it with golden donkey meat on fire. The aroma is tangy, almost crispy to the point of falling off.
Wen Liunian eats very seriously, in fact he is serious about everything he does.
Zhao Yue reached out and took off a bit of chopped green onion on his face. For some reason, every time he saw him eating, his mood became better and his appetite became better.
So when the two of them finally put down their chopsticks, they both felt a little... overwhelmed.
Wen Liunian said happily, "Fortunately, I didn't add another plate of cut beef." It was true that he couldn't eat a single bite.
Zhao Yue asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
Wen Liunian thought for a while, "Why not go to Cangmang Mountain?"
"Okay." Zhao Yue nodded, and said again, "You seem to like it very much."
Wen Liunian said, "Because it's your territory." Naturally, he would go there more often if he had free time.
Zhao Yue laughed, "You are the parent officer of Cangwu City."
"Yeah." Wen Liunian nodded, "What's mine is yours." There wasn't much difference.
The two left the government office hand in hand. The people in the city are used to going to bed early, so the street is very quiet and no one disturbs them.
A crescent moon hangs in the sky, casting a faint light on the street, stretching the figures of the two people very long.
One is tall and the other is elegant, which seems to be a couple of gods and immortals.
It was still the same cave as last time. Mr. Zhao Yue lit a fire and spread a thick layer of hay at the entrance of the cave before letting him come and sit.
"It's cold." Wen Liunian rubbed his hands.
Zhao Yue hugged him into his arms, "The weather is fine tonight, and the stars are at their brightest."
Wen Liunian raised his head, and sure enough, on the deep blue sky, the Milky Way was shining extremely brightly, stretching across the city, as bright as if it had been sprinkled with countless fine gemstones.
The surroundings are quiet and silent, which is indeed very suitable for lovers to be alone.
Zhao Yue pinched his chin, lowered his head and kissed him.
Wen Liunian closed his eyes and wrapped his arms around his shoulders, looking very cute.
There was a touch of sweetness between the lips, Zhao Yue hugged him tightly, and the kiss became more intense and lingering.
Wen Liunian's cheeks were flushed, and he huddled in his arms motionless, letting his right hand wander around his body more and more presumptuously.
Zhao Yue unbuttoned his belt and gently put his hand in.
The skin in the palm of the hand is smooth and soft, and it is inevitable that it will be a little addictive.
Wen Liunian buried his face in his arms, his whole body was extremely stiff.
Doing this kind of thing is always nervous, let alone being outside, my mind is even more blank, until the end, Wen Liunian made a slight sound, but soon bit his lower lip again, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, The base of the ear is almost bleeding.
Zhao Yue patted him on the back and kissed him tenderly.
Wen Liunian said sullenly, "Don't go outside next time."
Because of the word "next time", Zhao Yue's lips became more and more obvious, "Okay."
Wen Liunian hugged him even tighter.
"Do you want to rest in the mountains? The mattresses in the cave are very dry." Zhao Yue said, "The weather is not cold now."
"Let's go back." Wen Liunian said, "There's been a lot of things lately, so I'll save this place for later." Otherwise, while everyone else is busy, it doesn't seem too good for me to hide with him in the vast mountain.
After all, he is a parent official, so he still has to do his business.
"Alright." Zhao Yue said, "After all, I have already asked Lu Zhui to bring this water stream here. From now on, it will be yours alone. You can come whenever you want."
Lu Erdao sneezed well in the government office, why did his back suddenly start to feel cold.
The two sat snuggled together for a while, then got up and went back to the government office to rest. Before leaving, Zhao Yue caught two more white fish for him, and was going to take them home to cook soup. He was very considerate.
The streets in the city became more and more quiet, and even the watchmen had already gone home to rest, and there was no one there.
Seeing him yawning all the time, Zhao Yue stopped and asked, "Do you want to recite it?"
Wen Liunian smiled and nodded.
Zhao Yue handed him the fish that was strung up with a straw rope in his hand, and was just about to bend down to carry him back, when a sound of something breaking suddenly came from a house next to him, which was especially ear-piercing in the dark. The cry of a woman.
Wen Liunian frowned slightly, "Husband and wife fighting?"
Zhao Yue said, "This kind of thing is also normal." After all, living together, it's strange how can we live without stumbling and bickering.
"Go and have a look." Wen Liunian said.
"..." Why do you want to watch a couple quarreling? Even if it's the local magistrate, it's not easy to manage this kind of thing... Zhao Yue was a little puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions, and cooperated with picking him up by the waist, and jumped into the house.
The courtyard is very small, there are only three or five houses, one of which is lit, it should be the bedroom.
As he got closer, the woman's crying sound became more obvious, as well as the man's low-pitched yelling.
Zhao Yue landed on the roof with his people, and through the cracks in the tiles, he happened to be able to see the situation inside the house.
A woman in her thirties was sitting on the edge of the bed and crying. There was a tall and thick man standing by the table. There were many fragments of teapots on the floor. It was obvious that the couple had just finished arguing.
"Woman, she has long hair but short knowledge, what do you know!" the man cursed in a low voice, "Don't cry!"
"Tell me honestly, did you collude with the bandits in Cangwu Mountain?" the woman asked.
Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue looked at each other, feeling a little surprised.
To actually mention the bandits in Cangwu Mountain... By mistake, did you really hit the right track? !
"Nonsense!" The man sat on the chair, picked up the teacup and wanted to pour water, but remembered that the teapot had already been smashed by himself, so he was upset and threw the water cup aside.
"I'm talking nonsense, or do you have ghosts in your heart?" The woman cried, "I thought it was wrong a year ago, the extra money at home out of thin air, and those people who came to you in the middle of the night, what is it if it's not a bandit? "
"Tell you to shut up, didn't you hear?" The man raised his hand to hit her, but the woman was not frightened at all, but her voice became louder, "Now the government has joined hands with Mr. Zhao to clear up Bandit, if you really have something to do with them, then go to your hometown to hide, what's the use of fighting against me here?"
The man was extremely irritable.
The woman stood up, "I'll pack your bags for you now."
"Do you think I can get away?" The man snatched the cloth bag from her hand.
"Now the government doesn't suspect you, and there is no one guarding the door. If you want to go out to see your uncle, why can't you leave?" The woman obviously didn't believe it.
The man was impatient, "Don't worry about this matter!"
"I don't care who is in charge?" the woman said, "If you had told me earlier, you wouldn't have been taken advantage of in vain like now... Ah!" Before she could finish speaking, a black object fell before her eyes , So I was terrified.
Wen Liunian stared at Zhao Yue with wide eyes.
Didn't hold it fast.
The fish fell.
Master Zhao: ...
"Who?" The man pulled out a dagger from under the table, looking vigilantly at the big hole in the roof.
It had already been smashed anyway, so Zhao Yue took Wen Liunian and jumped into the courtyard, opened the door and walked in.
"Master Zhao, Lord Wen?" After seeing who it was, the faces of the two people in the room turned pale.
"Are you related to the Tiger Head Gang?" Wen Liunian looked at the man majestically, with a bit of aura, as if the man who couldn't even hold two fish just now was not himself.
The man's knees softened, and he knelt on the ground with a puff.
"Be honest." Wen Liunian opened the bench and sat down, "The crime of collaborating with bandits should be executed according to the law, but if you behave well, you may be able to avoid death."
"My lord, spare my life, my lord, please spare my life." The woman was terrified when she heard the words, and hurriedly pushed her man away, "What are you still doing, tell me everything clearly."
The man's face was pale, but he hesitated, as if he had a lot of worries.
Zhao Yue said, "The Tiger Head Gang played a Gu for you?"
The man nodded hesitantly.
The woman widened her eyes in fright, bewitching
"Be clear." Wen Liunian said, "The Gu poison is not incurable, this is your only chance."
The other party hesitated for a while, but finally compromised.
The man's name was Li Mo, and he was originally a grocer who sold goods in various villages. Later, when he entered the mountain, he encountered a heavy rain. While hiding from the rain, he accidentally bumped into a member of the Tiger Head Gang. He thought it was impossible to escape. When he died, he didn't expect the other party to be extremely kind. He not only pulled him to warm up with him, but even gave him a lot of money, saying that as long as he is willing to cooperate, he will be rich and honorable in the future.
After working hard for half his life, Li Mo has never seen so much money, and was soon bewitched, willing to collect information for the Tiger Head Gang in the city, from the wealthy households in the city to the government's actions, he had to write down every detail, in the Send them out of the city on the second day of every month, put them in a cave in Cangwu Mountain, and take the reward from there.
"I just heard from you that there are still people coming to the house in the middle of the night?" Wen Liunian asked again.
"It's also a member of the Tiger Head Gang." Li Mo said, "Sometimes when there is an emergency, they will come to the house to issue tasks."
"What is an emergency?" Wen Liunian asked.
"For example, if you want some kind of medicine, or you need to keep an eye on the government." Li Mo replied.
Wen Liunian squeezed his chin, and exchanged a glance with Zhao Yue.
It sounds like the Tiger Head Gang has been secretly observing the government for a long time...
Inside the government office, the red-armored wolf is lying on the table in the study, shaking its beard in boredom. It originally wanted to go to Huatang House to play with the Gu King, but the other party was too lazy to poke for a long time and refused to move, so it had to slip out again and crawled all the way to the study in a daze.
After an unknown amount of time, voices suddenly came from the courtyard, and then we saw Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue walking in together.
The red-armored wolf quickly cheered up and crawled over with a swish.
"Why are you here?" Zhao Yue pinched it.
The red-armored wolf was very happy.
Having been together for so long, Wen Liunian naturally won't be afraid of it anymore, he poked at the bright red carapace, "Probably because I was bored, so I ran around."
"I'm not afraid of losing myself." Zhao Yue found a small plate and put the red armored wolf in it.
The surrounding walls are very smooth, and if you go up a little bit, it will slide down. The red armored wolf happily circles around, thinking it is a bit fun.
Of course, it would be even better if the green-headed Gu King could also come along!
"You go back first." Wen Liunian turned on the light, and took the wolf hair from the shelf, "I'll write down the things I asked tonight, and then I'll come back to rest."
"I'll be with you." Zhao Yue sat beside him.
Wen Liunian said, "Then help me sharpen the ink."
"Okay." Zhao Yue nodded.
"Will it be?" Wen Liunian asked.
Zhao Yue was amused, "In my heart, I really think I'm just a reckless man who fights and kills?"
Wen Liunian grinned while holding his wolf hair, "This is called Hongxiu Tianxiang."
Zhao Yue tapped his nose, "Write obediently!"
Wen Liunian closed his eyes and straightened his thoughts, and then began to write like flying, without even a single pause.
Zhao Yue was puzzled in his heart, because no matter how he looked at it, he felt that a nerd should be the number one scholar, why he was only a candidate
How powerful the top two must be... Master Zhao thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he asked him this question when he went to bed to rest.
"I ate too much roast duck on the day of the imperial examination." Wen Liunian shook off the quilt.
Zhao Yue: ...
Have you eaten too much roast duck
"It turned out that the duck the boss used was not fresh, and he kept having stomach troubles." Wen Liunian lay flat, "Then he only wrote half of it, and hurriedly handed in the test paper and went to the latrine."
Zhao Yue couldn't laugh or cry.
"At first I thought it was over, and I thought I would go back to the south of the Yangtze River after playing in Wangcheng for two days, but the emperor sent the prime minister to look for me in person after reading the half of the test paper." Wen Liunian said, "I finally got a Tanhua." After all, even I haven't finished the test paper yet, winning the top prize would be too much of a blow to the rest of the students.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether he should laugh or regret.
"The third one is actually pretty good." Wen Liunian lay on the bed, "It's not so noticeable, and it's not that much to be hated."
"When will the emperor call you back?" Zhao Yue rubbed his head.
"I don't know, maybe next month, maybe three to five years later, or maybe I've been forgotten." Wen Liunian looked at him.
Zhao Yue said, "I'll be with you."
Wen Liunian smiled, "Really?"
Zhao Yue nodded.
Wen Liunian asked, "What if I want to go back to Wangcheng?"
"I'll be with you everywhere." Zhao Yue hugged him into his arms.
"Stop facing Muya?" Wen Liunian put his arms around his neck.
"You can come back and have a look when you have time." Zhao Yue said.
"Then what about the Second Master Lu?" Wen Liunian asked again.
Zhao Yue said, "Lu Zhui is not a child."
Wen Liunian hugged him even tighter.
If we can stay together forever, even if we have to go back and deal with those fox-like veterans, it seems to be okay...
The next morning, the two of them got up early, Wen Liunian yawned in the dining room, desperately pouring vinegar into the bowl.
Did not wake up.
The dark guard watched with mixed emotions, most of the bottle was poured in, the left protector is not an adult who can eat sour, maybe there is.
We didn't even get the gift money for the marriage, and we had to make up the full moon money again. We were really tired.
"Is your lord uncomfortable?" Huatang asked.
"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "I'm fine." Just a little sleepy.
Zhao Yue recounted the accidental discovery of the two last night.
"There is such a thing?" Mu Qingshan was surprised when he heard the words, "Then where is Li Mo now?"
"In prison." Zhao Yue said, "As for his wife and children, in order not to be harmed by the Tiger Head Gang, they have also been taken to a safe place."
"It can be regarded as good luck." Zhao Wu said with a smile, "by accident, I can break through a small secret."
"During the interrogation last night, Li Mo himself didn't know how many Tiger Head gang's spies are still in the city." Wen Liunian said, "The other party is extremely cautious."
"This is easy to handle." Hua Tang said, "Since one has been caught, it should be useful to cheat."
"Oh?" Wen Liunian said, "I would like to hear the details."
"Just let out the news that Li Mo came here voluntarily to confess to the government. He has already provided a lot of clues. When the rest of the people hear it, they will naturally be unable to sit still." Li Mo, even if they are the eyeliner of the Tiger Head Gang, they are nothing more than ordinary people, and they won't last long."
Wen Liunian nodded, "That's right, you can give it a try."
"Just leave it to us." The dark guard patted his chest and promised that he really shouldn't be too good at fanning the flames.
Wen Liunian readily agreed.
So after breakfast, the dark guard happily went out to chat with the people, very self-cultivated as a mascot, and within half a day, the news had spread throughout the entire Cangwu City.
Two days later, the tiger head gang also heard the wind.
"Clan leader." Zhang Shengrui said, "The government has already caught out most of the spies who spent a lot of money to plant in the city before, and now the city's defenses are extremely tight, and our people can't get in at all."
The man in the cloak sat on the chair. Although he couldn't see his face, he could still feel the eerie atmosphere emanating from his body.
"Since the failure of the last battle at Mujiazhuang, the government has started to gain the upper hand." Zhang Shengrui said, "And I don't know what Zhao Yue thinks, he actually colluded with the government, and it is said that he accompanied the magistrate to the streets to inspect The people's sentiments are very uproarious." He didn't know that his leader was interested in Zhao Yue's life experience, but he just felt that as a bandit, it was a bit too strange to be able to enter and exit with the magistrate in an open and honest manner.
The cloaked man remained silent.
"The rest of the eyeliner shouldn't last long." Zhang Shengrui said, "I'm afraid this time all our chess pieces in the city will be pulled out by the government."
"Worthless chess pieces, just destroy them." The man in the cloak finally spoke hoarsely.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy." Zhang Shengrui shook his head, "The Left Protector of Chasing Shadow Palace is also in the government office. She is considered a master of Gu. Not only does she have the Gu King in her hand, it is said that Zhao Yue also has a red armored wolf. Force the Gu worms out of those eyeliners."
The man in the cloak tightly squeezed the teacup in his hand.
Frankly speaking, he has no interest in Zhao Yue's life and death, and even thinks that death is the only way to be clean—even if his identity is finally confirmed, he can find a puppet to replace him, and it will be much more convenient to do things, so he treats the Mu family Zhuang's behavior was not stopped. It's just that he never thought that Mu Wanlei and Mu Wanxiong would be so embarrassing and vulnerable. Not only did they fail to behead Zhao Yue, they even caused themselves to lose a large number of mourning birds for nothing.
"Clan leader don't get angry." Zhang Shengrui said, "There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."
"Call Huang Ying over here." The cloaked man said, "I have a task for her."
"Yes." Zhang Shengrui nodded, and retreated respectfully. After a while, a woman in yellow knocked on the door, "The boss is looking for me?"
The cloaked man whispered something in her ear.
"The subordinates know." Huang Ying took the order.
"Don't be discovered." The cloaked man stood up straight, his voice as cold as ice.
It's just that he probably wouldn't think of it now, and even more troublesome things are yet to come.
A few days later, a group of government officials marched into Cangwu City, looking very imposing.
The common people were curious and squeezed on both sides of the street to watch, not knowing what happened again.
"Deputy General Pan." Wen Liunian personally led someone to greet him.
"Lord Wen." Pan Qing, the deputy general of the garrison in Cang'er Prefecture got off his horse, and said in a voice like Hong Zhong, "Mr. Zhao is here with you?" His voice was so loud that no one else could hear him.
The people suddenly realized that they were looking for Mr. Zhao.
"Naturally." Wen Liunian nodded, "It's in the government office."
"Ah, it's amazing!" Pan Qing punched his fist and said impatiently, "Hurry up and take me in for a meeting."
The eyes of the people are full of envy, and we want to go in together!
Wen Liunian smiled and led Pan Qing into the gate of the government office.
The people are still tiptoeing to look inside, expecting to see the handsome face of the beautiful man.
It wasn't until he reached the backyard that Pan Qing put away his extremely excited expression and asked, "How was the performance?"
"Very good, very good." Wen Liunian nodded again and again, "There is Deputy General Lao Pan."
"But why do you want to play such a play?" Pan Qing asked suspiciously—he really didn't know anything, he only heard that Lord Inspector had received a letter from Cangwu City, and then sent himself to find Mr. Thousands of words must be "can't wait".
"There's no rush." Wen Liunian said, "Have a cup of tea first."
After all, Yee has a long story, and it still takes a lot of talking if he wants to explain it completely.
"Vice General Pan." Shang Yunze just walked in with Mu Qingshan.
"Lord Shangbao." Pan Qing clasped his fists together—the two had met before, so they had some kind of friendship.
"Vice General Pan." Mu Qingshan followed suit.
"Let me introduce you." Shang Yunze grabbed Mu Qingshan's shoulders, "My wife who has never been married."
Mu Qingshan blushed and stomped on him hard.
Pan Qing was really surprised, and repeatedly confirmed whether Mu Qingshan was a woman disguised as a man.
"It's the master in the mansion." Wen Liunian said, "The surname is Mu."
What a man... Pan Qing was a little surprised, but he had seen some of the world, so he quickly adjusted and said with a smile, "When will we get married, I'll come over for a drink."
"There will be a wedding after the suppression of the bandits." Shang Yunze said, "So since Vice General Pan is here this time, let's leave one of them to help, so that we can have a wedding just in time to save running around."
Mu Qingshan: ...
Pan Qing paused for a moment. Previously, Lord Inspector only said that he would lead someone to perform a play, and then hurried back after the performance, and did not mention that he would help suppress the bandits.
Wen Liunian also nodded, "Very good, very good, thank you, Deputy General Pan."
Pan Qing had no choice but to agree, and felt sad in his heart.
Those who can make good friends with the Shadow Chasing Palace are indeed as rumored, and they are the masters who are determined not to suffer...
