The sun was very warm in the morning, and there were birds chirping in the courtyard. Wen Liunian stretched vigorously, and then shrank back into the bed, intending to go back to sleep in a daze.
Zhao Yue leaned sideways on the head of the bed, reaching out to poke his face.
Wen Liunian frowned and shrank his head under the quilt.
Zhao Yue poked his hand again.
Another "whoosh" and took it back.
Zhao Yue laughed out loud, turned over and held him down and kissed him.
Feeling hot and humid on the lips, Wen Liunian finally opened his eyes reluctantly.
Zhao Yue held his waist with both hands, closed his eyes and kissed more deeply. The bodies of the two were very close, and through a thin layer of underwear, the heat in their hearts gradually rose. Wen Liunian wrapped his arms around his back, and also raised his head slightly in cooperation, which resulted in a more intense response from the other party as expected.
By the time the kiss was over, the clothes of the two were messy. Zhao Yue hugged him in his arms, slowly moved down his waist with one hand, and then dragged the belt towards him.
It feels soft and smooth to the touch, and I don't want to let go.
Wen Liunian's ears felt hot, so he lay in his arms and pretended to be dead.
Zhao Yue kissed his ear lightly, and the two of them lingered together for a while, until the commotion outside gradually became louder, and they reluctantly separated.
Wen Liunian huddled under the blanket to watch him get out of bed to wash, and carefully picked up his trousers, blushing slightly.
Breakfast was pancakes with eggs, vegetable porridge, and freshly fried chili in soy sauce. Wen Liunian took a big bite of pancakes and was so satisfied that he almost squinted his eyes.
tasty!
Zhao Yue helped him cool the porridge and fed it spoon by spoon.
In the palace lord's courtyard, Mu Qingshan leaned listlessly against the head of the bed, his whole body lacking energy.
Shang Yunze coaxed and tricked him into feeding him and taking his medicine, he was almost sweating from exhaustion.
She usually looks good, but when she is sick, she is quite difficult to take care of.
Mu Qingshan lay on the bed and watched him.
"Are you still dizzy?" Shang Yunze asked.
Mu Qingshan said: "Dizzy."
"I won't be dizzy later." Shang Yunze helped him cover the quilt, "Go to sleep."
Mu Qingshan turned his back to him, still angry!
Lord Chambord had a headache.
Before going to bed the night before, the two of them leaned together holding hands and talking in a low voice, but then it was probably because the atmosphere was too good, so it was inevitable that they were a little out of control, and their clothes were stripped off their bodies one by one. Mu Qingshan was still confused at first, waiting for the reaction It was too late when I came here, and even though I hadn't reached the last step, I was bullied so badly that I started to have a fever the next morning, half of it was because I caught a cold, and the other half was probably because I was shocked.
Thinking of the white and tender body under the moonlight, Master Shang felt a rush of energy and blood rushing to his head, and felt that it was really not easy for him, but he could bear it like this.
Lying on his side made him even more dizzy, Mu Qingshan turned back sullenly, the whole body got into his arms, and continued to sleep.
Shang Yunze was amused, and patted him on the back with his big hand. The battle on the mountain outside the city must be tense, but he is not in the mood to take care of it. After all, there is the imperial court this time, and it would be a bit embarrassing if he still can't deal with the Tiger Head Gang.
At noon, another battle report came from outside the city. Wen Liunian took it apart and took a look, and saw that compared with yesterday, there was not much progress, and the two sides were still at a stalemate.
"What do you think?" Zhao Yue asked.
Wen Liunian put away the battle report: "Wait for three to five days first."
"After three or five days?" Zhao Yue said, "You want to intervene?"
Wen Liunian smiled and squeezed his chin to look at him.
This expression... Zhao Yue is funny: "You want to sell me?"
"It's not impossible, but when I receive the money, you can find a chance to run back." Wen Liunian patted his chest seriously, "Do you remember?"
right! The hidden guard nodded along on the roof, and we often have this kind of thought. Find a chance to sell the Palace Master, and then sell him a second time when he comes back, and he will make a fortune just around the corner, so I can't help but count the money—of course, it would be better if he doesn't come back, we don't really need it palace lord.
The abacus was playing very loudly.
Zhou Mubai has always lived in the Furun Inn, but he never came to the hotel, but occasionally went to Cangmang Mountain to see the battle situation.
Five days later, Wen Liunian wandered back to the backyard all the way.
Aunt Wang still didn't come back, there was only Fang Cui in the small courtyard, and there was no one to talk to, she wanted to go out but was stopped by the hidden guards, she was sitting on the stone chair, slightly impatient.
"Why didn't Miss Fang do the laundry today?" Wen Liunian stepped into the courtyard, looking slightly surprised.
Fang Cui's expression froze for a moment, and then said: "Just finished washing."
"Don't blame me, girl, I don't mean that you have to work all the time." Wen Liunian explained.
"Your Excellency, what do you want me for?" Fang Cui made a pot of tea for him.
Wen Liunian said: "I received a message from Aunt Wang in the morning, saying that I will stay in the country for a few more days, so I came here and told the girl."
Fang Cui nodded: "Thank you, my lord."
"Then I will go back first." Wen Liunian stood up, "I still have to go outside the city to see."
"How is the battle going?" Fang Cui took the opportunity to ask.
"Naturally, we are victorious." Wen Liunian was a little elated.
Fang Cui's heart was empty: "Has the Tiger Head Gang been wiped out?"
"Not yet, but it's just two or three days." Wen Liunian said, "The imperial army has broken through the mountain pass and is advancing inward. Last night, a group of masked men in black appeared to try to sneak attack, but they were discovered by Commander Xiang Afterwards, they all beheaded and no one escaped."
Fang Cui's palms were sweating.
"It really is someone close to the emperor." Wen Liunian sighed as he walked out, "It's not normal to do things."
Zhao Yue is waiting for him not far away.
Wen Liunian ran over with a smile.
"How is it?" Zhao Yue rubbed his hair, "I'll go if I say such a thing, but you won't listen."
"I'll be there to be credible." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, for things like lying, of course you have to find someone with experience."
Zhao Yue raised his eyebrows, "So?"
"I told her that the army is as powerful as a broken bamboo, and the Tiger Head Gang will be wiped out in a short time." Wen Liunian said, "I don't know if I will believe it, but it's not important. If you don't believe it once, say it twice, and three people will become tigers. In the end, what is false can become true.”
"But it's unreasonable for you to run to find her again and again." Zhao Yue took his hand and walked back.
"Yeah." Wen Liunian nodded, "So I won't go in the future, I'll just leave it to the heroes of Shadow Chasing Palace." When it comes to the ability to stir up trouble, I'm afraid no one is better than them.
"You don't need my help?" Zhao Yue asked.
Wen Liunian tugged at his hair: "You didn't say anything panicky when you saw it." So it's better not to interfere.
Zhao Yue laughed: "I think this is an advantage."
"It's an advantage." Wen Liunian pressed his shoulders, leaned on his back to carry him, thought for a while, then tugged at his ears and told him, "When you get married in the future, don't lie to me."
"Okay." Master Zhao frowned, "The ears are going to be pulled off."
"What if we quarrel in the future?" Wen Liunian asked again.
Zhao Yue said: "Of course I won't quarrel with you."
"When living together, there will always be stumbling blocks." Wen Liunian said, "My father is so soft-tempered, he would even quarrel with my mother."
"Then I'll apologize." Master Zhao followed the example of kindness.
"It's my fault, what should I do?" Wen Liunian rested his chin on his shoulder.
Zhao Yue said firmly: "You must be right."
Wen Liunian laughed out loud, and kissed him sideways.
Master Zhao heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately he did not answer wrong.
It's really... more nervous than fighting.
"Ah, is your lord injured?" Zhang San, an honest man who cut wood in the mansion, was shocked when he saw it, and hurried to find a doctor.
"I'm fine." Wen Liunian yawned.
Zhao Yue carried him on his back and continued to walk calmly to the bedroom.
Zhang San was suddenly at a loss, why was he carried away by others when he was not injured
Li Si, who was carrying water, looked at him with sympathy, but he couldn't tell, no wonder he hasn't married a wife yet...
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Zhao Yue asked, "I just dried the quilt today."
"Don't sleep yet." Wen Liunian changed his clothes, "accompany me to a place."
"Okay." Zhao Yue nodded, "Where?"
Wen Liunian said, "North of the city."
To the north of Cangwu City, there is a large area of old houses. One of the plaques is incomplete, and only the word "Book" can be vaguely seen.
"What's the smell?" Before reaching the door, Zhao Yue smelled a strange smell.
"It's insect-eating grass." Wen Liunian said, "Although it smells bad, it's very useful for smoking books. In the past, students from poor families couldn't afford camphor wood, so they came up with this method to prevent moths."
The smoke got bigger and bigger as he walked in, Zhao Yue could hardly open his eyes, but Wen Liunian was quite normal.
"Not choking?" Zhao Yue asked.
"I'm used to it. There are similar academies in the south of the Yangtze River." Wen Liunian knocked on the door knocker lightly.
"This is the academy?" Zhao Yue looked around, it was so dilapidated, he thought it was someone's shop used to pile up sundries.
"Well, but it has been abandoned for seven or eight years." Wen Liunian said, "In the past, there would be bandits every now and then, and most people would not dare to send their children to study."
While the two were talking, there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and then a white-haired old man opened the door. Although he was old, his body seemed to be quite tough, his clothes were clean, and his manner was very gentle.
"My lord is here." The old man smiled.
"Mr. Wang." Wen Liunian saluted respectfully, "Excuse me."
"My lord, you don't have to be polite." The old man turned sideways to clear the way, "I live in Xiaoping Village outside the city, so it's convenient to come back."
Wen Liunian entered the front hall with Zhao Yue, and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Wang was originally a teacher in the city. In the year when the banditry was the worst, there were three or four times when his home was robbed. The children were sent to study, so they closed the academy, and took their wives and children to Xiaoping Village to join relatives."
Zhao Yue asked: "Do you have something to do with Mr. Wang this time?"
"Borrow a few books to read." Wen Liunian said, "The Wang family can be regarded as a scholarly family. Although it is not as good as the Jiangnan University, it is better than the Fuya. When I first took office, I came here before. At that time, I thought it was a deserted and empty house, but I only recently found out that there is still an academy, so I sent someone to invite the old man back."
Zhao Yue said: "No wonder." Just now he was still wondering, how could he wait until now to come based on his book-loving temperament.
Wang Qinglan smiled and came in with tea: "There is no good tea, so please don't dislike it, my lord."
"Of course not." Wen Liunian hurriedly stood up and took the teapot from him.
Mr. Wang also made an appointment with some old friends when he returned to his hometown this time. He was very happy to learn that a school had been built in the city, and he also had a good impression of the new magistrate. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they brought the two of them to the backyard. The pile of herbs had been extinguished, and the books were neatly stacked on the table.
"Look slowly, my lord, I'll go back to my room first." Wang Qinglan said, "Just call if you need something."
Wen Liunian nodded, and after thanking him, he took out a book and flipped through three or four pages.
"When will we see this?" Zhao Yue felt a headache when he saw it, "Why don't you move back to the government office temporarily?"
"Do you know what I want to see?" Wen Liunian asked with a smile.
Zhao Yue paused: "Book."
Wen Liunian sat by the desk: "I'm looking for records about King Daming and Qingqiu."
Zhao Yue frowned slightly.
"Since it's related to you, there's no harm in seeing more." Wen Liunian said, "The more we know, the better for us."
"That being said, there may not be any of these books." Zhao Yue squatted beside him, "Besides, there are so many volumes, and we won't be able to finish them until the year and month."
"You don't need to watch that big movie." Wen Liunian pointed out.
Zhao Yue wondered: "How do you know?"
Wen Liunian leaned on the chair and said with a smile: "Naturally, only nerds can understand the classification of nerds, not bandits."
Zhao Yue choked.
"Those are all history books and the teachings of Confucius and Mencius." Wen Liunian said, "This area is the miscellaneous notes of the countryside, and they are not too many."
"That's not too much?" Zhao Yue thought to himself, enough to see for three or four years.
Wen Liunian smiled more happily.
Zhao Yue had no choice but to admit defeat: "I didn't like reading when I was young." It was a pain in the ass.
"I know." Wen Liunian lifted his chin, leaned in for a kiss, and said rascally, "So you don't need to look."
"But relying on you alone, how long will it take to finish watching?" Zhao Yue shook his head, "Otherwise, let's find more people to come over."
"The matter hasn't been clarified yet, so the fewer people who know about it, the better." Wen Liunian took a book, "Don't worry, I read this kind of book very quickly."
Zhao Yue frowned, how fast it could be.
Then he realized that it was really fast.
Rather than talking about reading a book, it would be better to say looking for the banknotes inside - within a short while, there was already a stack beside it.
"Is this the end of reading?" Zhao Dadang was startled.
"Otherwise?" Wen Liunian continued to turn the pages of the book without raising his head, "I don't need to think too much." If it wasn't for the fact that the book has been a few years old, it would break through too much force, and I'm afraid it would be faster.
"Keep this book away." A moment later, Wen Liunian suddenly stuffed a book over.
Out of curiosity, Mr. Zhao flipped through the book three times, only to find a line of small script with the words "Yun Duan Hun" in it.
…
How could it be discovered
Time passed very quickly, in the evening, Zhao Yue asked him, "Are your eyes sore?"
Wen Liunian looked up at him: "Not sour, just hungry."
"Eat first." Zhao Yue pulled him to stand up.
Wen Liunian yawned: "Call Mr. Wang together, let's eat chicken noodle soup."
"Mr. Wang has been resting for a long time." Zhao Yue helped him press the acupuncture points around his eyes, "You treat everyone as you, and you read books without sleep."
"It's already so late." Wen Liunian glanced outside, "There is a lamp in the room, so I didn't notice it."
"How about eating steamed fish with shredded ginger?" Zhao Yue asked.
"En." Wen Liunian's stomach growled.
The restaurants in the city are not too big, but the cooks are not bad. Since the lady's ancestral home is in Sichuan, the spicy dishes are also very suitable for Wen Liunian's taste. It was past the time for eating, and there were not many people inside. Seeing the adults coming, Xiao Er courteously brought the two of them to the second floor, but before they were seated, they saw Zhou Mubai, drinking with his back to the two of them.
"My lord, Mr. Zhao, sit here!" Xiaoer's voice was quite loud, for fear that others would not know that the distinguished guest came to the door.
When Zhou Mubai heard the voice, he turned around and looked this way.
Wen Liunian rubbed his nose, and pulled Zhao Yue to sit at the table.
Zhou Mubai smiled, but didn't come over, turned around and continued to drink by himself.
"Still as usual, I want a plate of braised trotters, a steamed fish with shredded ginger, a plate of sanjiao kimchi, a cage of rice noodles beef, a stir-fried three shredded pork, and a bowl of radish rib soup with blanched vegetables?" The waiter was elated. , proficiently reported the name of the dish, and said, "We also newly serve braised pork, do you want to try it?"
Zhou Mubai paused, and shook his head with a smile in his heart.
It really is still the same as before... good appetite.
"After eating, do you want to go back and continue reading?" Zhao Yue asked him.
"No." Wen Liunian shook his head, "I'm a little sleepy."
"I'll come with you again tomorrow morning." Zhao Yue poured him a cup of hot tea.
Wen Liunian hugged his warm hands, lowered his head and sipped a sip, glanced down the street from the corner of his eye, but frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Do you think that person is a bit sneaky?" Wen Liunian put down his teacup and motioned him to look down.
Zhao Yue followed his gaze and saw a middle-aged man hurrying on his way, looking around while walking, as if he was very guilty.
"It's too dark to see the face clearly, and I don't know who it is." Wen Liunian stood up, "Go and see."
As soon as the words fell, the man was already running wildly. It turned out that he saw a group of officers and soldiers patrolling not far away.
"Captain Li!" Wen Liunian shouted, "Catch him!"
The officers and soldiers immediately chased after him, and Zhou Mubai also jumped onto the street, kicking the man in the chest.
The torches were bright all around, and the man curled up and rolled on the ground in pain.
"Where do you come from?" After seeing his appearance, Catcher Li was a little puzzled. He wasn't from the city
