Some troublesome things seem to become easier to think about after waking up. Originally, his mind was in chaos, but after waking up the next morning, Wen Liunian turned his head to look at the people around him, and suddenly felt that it was actually not a big deal.
Even if it really has something to do with Yun Duanhun, so what? Who can go well in life, at least now that you have relatives, friends, and loved ones by your side, even if you leave everything behind and join hands with Tianya, it is enough to live this life happily, so what is there to worry about
After thinking about this point clearly, Wen Liunian lay on his chest, arching his head lazily.
Zhao Yue didn't open his eyes either, he just hugged him into his arms with a smile, turned over and pressed him into the bedding, and rubbed him with the stubble on his chin.
"Itchy." Wen Liunian avoided it.
"Sleep for a while longer." Zhao Yue patted him on the back, "I will fall asleep soon after dawn."
"Don't sleep anymore." Wen Liunian stretched his waist, "It's important business."
"The night attack on the Tiger Head Gang?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Yeah." Wen Liunian sat up, "Today the second head will come back, and we only have three days to prepare, except for the time spent on the road, so we must be sure that nothing goes wrong."
Just as Zhao Yue was about to speak, his lips were blocked, and they felt wet and soft to the touch.
With his eyes closed, Wen Liunian made up all of the "slightly short" kiss last night, and even added interest.
It really doesn't hurt at all.
The hidden guard happened to pass by the window, and after glancing through the gap, he immediately clicked his tongue and felt very emotional. There is such a scene of mixing oil with honey early in the morning, and he will definitely be able to eat three more bowls of dry rice later.
"I have something else to tell you." Wen Liunian put his hands on his shoulders.
"What?" Zhao Yue asked.
"In case that cloaked monster is too skilled in martial arts, it may not be easy to capture him alive, and it will attract the attention of the commander." Wen Liunian thought about his words, "So if the situation is critical..." He swallowed half of his words Go down and watch him tentatively.
"If the situation is critical, will he be killed?" Zhao Yue followed his meaning and guessed.
Wen Liunian nodded: "It's better than being caught by the court." Only in this way, another clue about King Daming would be lost.
Zhao Yue said: "You can decide, don't ask me what I mean."
"But it has something to do with your background." Wen Liunian reminded. There weren't many clues in the first place, if this one is broken again, if I want to know the truth of the year, I'm afraid I will really go to the East China Sea to find that elusive Qingqiu.
Zhao Yue shook his head, and stretched out his hand to help him tidy up his clothes: "These are not important to me." It has been so many years, and I have been struggling with the past, which is also a burden for myself, so it's better to be more free and easy.
Wen Liunian thought for a while, then smiled: "That's right, it's not too important."
That's fine for now.
Later, Lu Zhui turned back from Cangmang Mountain and returned to the government office, which also brought the latest battle situation-the imperial court suppressed the rebels, naturally, it would not be as worried as the government's suppression of bandits before, even if the price was heavy, it would not hesitate, just want to be able to quickly Quick decision. After successive fierce battles, Cangwu Mountain is now almost heavily blocked. Unless the opponent wants to kill a bloody path, they may be unable to escape.
"You won't hide in the ground, will you?" Wen Liunian squeezed his chin, it would be much harder to find that way.
The red-armored wolf swished along his sleeve and climbed onto his shoulder, shaking its tentacles as well.
Seeing this, Zhou Dingtian gasped, and stretched out his hand to help him bounce, but was stopped by Mu Qingshan, who whispered: "Master Zhou, don't worry, the relationship between the red-armored wolf and your lord is very good."
Sure enough, after glancing at the red armored wolf, Wen Liunian continued to look at the map on the table without being disturbed at all.
Zhou Dingtian was even more shocked, he wasn't afraid of bugs anymore
Shang Yunze explained on the side: "The red-armored wolf is raised by the master. Although it is highly poisonous, it never bites people randomly, let alone hurt the master."
Zhou Dingtian's mood suddenly became very complicated. When he was a child, he didn't know how much effort he had put in to cure his disease, but it was useless. Now he actually said that he was not afraid if he was not afraid. Isn't the worm raised by Zhao Yue not a worm
The red-armored wolf lay on Wen Liunian's shoulders for a while, feeling a little bored, so he swished back into the small porcelain jar, and after a while, with the blue-headed Gu King on his back, he came out and began to have fun in the study run in circles.
Gu Wang drooped his eyes and continued to feel drowsy, feeling quite comfortable.
Zhou Dingtian raised his foot with his beard curled up.
The red-armored wolf stopped quickly, even erecting its tentacles.
"Godfather!" Wen Liunian frowned, "Don't scare it."
Everyone in the room looked over.
Zhou Dingtian coughed twice, retracted his legs, and said majesticly: "What is the specific plan, tell Godfather."
Fortunately, I didn't step on it... The red armored wolf was scared, and ran out decisively.
The rest of the people were very speechless, they were more or less well-known seniors in the Jianghu, but they actually threatened a worm.
Can it be passed on
"If the imperial court has already surrounded Cangmang Mountain, whether the other party can escape or not is one thing, how can we sneak in?" Wen Liunian asked.
"This is not a big problem." Lu Zhui said, "There is a vanguard team led by Xiao Wu temporarily, and we can just find an excuse to send people away."
According to the experience of the previous spies, the leader of the Tiger Head Gang should live in the underground tomb, and there must be many traps inside, so after discussing, everyone decided to lurk in the Tiger Head Gang at night, and then wait for the opportunity to act when he shows up. .
Although after several discussions, the plan seemed to be well-thought-out, but on the eve of departure, Wen Liunian was still a little restless, and he didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night, keeping his eyes open and looking at the wall.
"Don't want to sleep?" Zhao Yue hugged him from behind.
Wen Liunian was taken aback, turned around and said, "Did I disturb you?"
"You've been awake, so I can notice it naturally." Zhao Yue held his hand, "I just thought that I would fall asleep after a while, so I didn't say anything." Still restless.
"Go to sleep, recharge your batteries, and go to Cangmang Mountain tomorrow." Wen Liunian closed his eyes, "I'm asleep too."
Zhao Yue said: "If you are not sleepy, then I will talk with you."
"Don't say it." Wen Liunian refused straight away, said something in the middle of the night, and went to bed quickly.
"Then do you want to kiss?" Zhao Yue pinched his chin.
…
Master Wen scratched his face, this seems to be okay.
Zhao Yue chuckled, lowered his head and bit his lips.
Wen Liunian was very cooperative.
"It'll be fine." After a long time, Zhao Yue whispered in his ear, "Don't worry."
"Yeah." Wen Liunian buried his face in his chest, "Be careful."
Zhao Yue tightened his arms and locked the man firmly in his arms.
At dusk the next day, everyone set off from the government office and went all the way to Cangwu Mountain.
Candles were flickering in the study room of the government office. In the middle of the night, Shang Yunze came to ask for someone in person.
Mu Qingshan was sleeping with hazy eyes, sitting beside Wen Liunian and tidying up the files.
The Master of Shangbao gritted his teeth: "Master Wen."
Wen Liunian looked at him innocently: "Huh?"
Lord Shangbao said: "It's almost midnight."
"I want to keep it." Mu Qingshan rubbed his eyes and explained, then yawned again.
"It's already midnight?" Wen Liunian finally came back to his senses, "Master didn't say anything, why don't you go back and rest."
Mu Qingshan muttered: "I don't want to go back."
"Huh?" Shang Yunze squatted in front of him.
Mu Qingshan stood up instantly: "I, I, I will sleep with the adults tonight!"
Wen Liunian was surprised when he heard this: "Why did Master suddenly have such an idea?"
Mu Qingshan looked nervously at Shang Yunze, fearing that he would be carried away.
Wen Liunian saw the clue: "Could it be that there was a quarrel?"
Mu Qingshan said indiscriminately: "Yes."
Shang Yunze was so angry that he was so angry that he couldn't bear to say anything serious, and even quarreled
"I just want to sleep in the government office." Mu Qingshan insisted.
"Originally, she was going to rest in the government office. The hidden guards have gone to Cangmang Mountain, and Zuo Hufa is pregnant. She can't be allowed to take care of your lord's safety." Shang Yunze said, "Stop making trouble."
Mu Qingshan turned to Wen Liunian for help.
"Ahem." Master Wen cleared his throat and said majesticly, "Master Shang, why don't we let—"
Before he finished speaking, Shang Yunze had already hugged Mu Qingshan with one hand, and strode out of the study.
"Let me down!" Mu Qingshan was indignant.
Lord Chambord didn't hear anything.
Wen Liunian stretched his neck to look out, then casually grabbed a pear beside him and gnawed it, didn't he say that he wanted to take care of me, he just left as he wanted.
Thinking of the situation in the mountains, he couldn't sleep, so after eating a pear, Wen Liunian sat back at the desk, found out the old books he had borrowed from Mr. Wang, and read them carefully one by one. .
In the bedroom, after Shang Yunze raised his hand several times to promise that he would not grope in the middle of the night or take off his clothes casually, Mu Qingshan was finally willing to get under the covers, leaving only a slapped face outside, watching him nervously .
Filled with helplessness, Shang Yunze stretched out his hand to grab his nose: "If you want to get married in the future, what will happen if you keep doing this."
"We'll talk about it after we get married." Mu Qingshan's voice was very low.
"Are you willing to let me touch you after getting married?" Shang Yunze hugged him into his arms.
Mu Qingshan asked: "Can we not touch after getting married?"
"No!" Shang Yunze's face darkened.
Mu Qingshan shrank his neck, no way.
"Afraid of pain?" Shang Yunze asked in his ear.
Mu Qingshan blushed, closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.
Shang Yunze was angry and funny, and helped him straighten his hair with his fingers: "You will bully me."
Mu Qingshan thought, clearly you are bullying me!
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this." Shang Yunze patted him on the back, "Ask you something."
"What's the matter?" Mu Qingshan raised his head.
"Recently, I saw that you bought a lot of books, and you always go to the shantang, and you still don't let me follow you. What are you going to do?" Shang Yunze asked.
"It's nothing..." Mu Qingshan's eyes fluttered.
Shang Yunze frowned slightly.
"It's nothing." Mu Qingshan's voice was very low, and he said after a while, "My lord asked me to write an annals of Boundless City, which recorded all the major events in the city for nearly a century. story."
"It's for this." Shang Yunze laughed, "Take it as some great event, why don't you let me know?"
"Your Excellency said that if you can write well, there will be a lot of rewards." Mu Qingshan emphasized.
"How much can you write this city annals, besides, you don't lack money." Shang Yunze pinched his ears, when did he become such a small money addict
"It takes a lot of money to get married." Mu Qingshan muttered.
Although the voice was very low, Shang Yunze could still hear it clearly, so he couldn't laugh or cry even more, "Could it be that I'm still short of money for getting married?"
"I'm going to hire you too!" Mu Qingshan was tough once in a while.
"What did you say?" Shang Yunze felt that he was hallucinating.
"I said I'm going to be hired too." Mu Qingshan shrank again, leaning his back against the corner of the wall, emphatically saying: "Marriage is a matter between two people."
Shang Yunze pulled him into his arms, three parts wanted to laugh, three parts were powerless, and four parts were moved for no reason: "Little idiot, you are called a dowry."
"I told elder brother." Mu Qingshan said again.
Shang Yunze was startled again: "Did you talk about us?"
"Yeah." Mu Qingshan said sullenly, "Just a few days ago, Big Brother just started beating me."
"Why did you suddenly go alone and say that I will do these things." Shang Yunze frowned, "And then? Didn't you really get beaten?"
"No, I was stopped by my sister-in-law." Mu Qingshan said, "Brother was very angry before, but it was much better when I had dinner later, before I went out, my sister-in-law said that she would help persuade me, after a while my brother calmed down and we went back. "
"Why didn't you wait for me?" Shang Yunze asked.
"I know big brother's temper, he will definitely lose his temper." Mu Qingshan said, "But it will be fine after he loses his temper, it's nothing serious."
"It's because he gets angry that he—"
"I don't want big brother to talk about you." Mu Qingshan interrupted him.
"So you just go back and get scolded?" Shang Yunze looked at him, "If you are really punished, won't you be afraid of my distress?"
"It wasn't really beaten." Mu Qingshan huddled in his arms, "It's all right now."
Shang Yunze hugged his thin body in his arms, he didn't know what kind of mood he should be in at this moment. Since he was a child, he has always regarded himself as a strong man. He never thought that there would be a young scholar in the future, who would not only secretly get scolded for him, but also work hard to write books to earn money for the dowry.
Really... Shang Yunze's eyes were a little hot, and he couldn't say anything, so he hugged him and kissed him hard.
"No random kisses!" Mu Qingshan protested.
"I'll wait for as long as I want." Shang Yunze's voice was low and hoarse, "I'm willing to wait all my life."
Mu Qingshan tried his best to push him away, Gulu rolled to the corner of the wall, and then thought blushingly, in fact, he didn't have to wait so long for a lifetime.
Shang Yunze leaned against the head of the bed, his eyes almost glowing in the darkness.
If people in the Jianghu knew that the master of Tengyun castle was so happy that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night just because someone wanted to hire him, he might be shocked.
Something feels wrong...
But in Cangwu Mountain, the atmosphere is obviously much more tense. When the sky was about to dawn, everyone was lurking in every corner of the Tiger Head Gang, paying close attention to the movement around them. They made an appointment to communicate with each other with signal flares. Take people out of the mountain before.
"Couldn't it have already run away?" The dark guard was a little worried. After all, it was the opponent's territory. No matter how tight the court's defense was, there might still be loopholes.
"Should still be in the gang." Zhao Yue said, "Otherwise the tens of thousands of imperial troops are suppressed outside the mountain. If the gang leader runs away again, the disciples under the sect should be in chaos, and they will definitely not be so quiet."
It is true. The dark guard nodded, took out a broad bean from his pocket and threw it into his mouth.
Lu Zhui frowned slightly.
The secret guard immediately said: "Don't worry, the second leader, I promise that there will be no sound, we have all worked hard."
Lu Zhui: ...
In the whole world, I am afraid that only people from Shadow Chasing Palace will work hard to practice this.
When the bag of broad beans was finished, the sky gradually brightened, and the cottage became noisy. Zhang Shengrui also walked over from a distance, "Where is the boss?"
"Not up yet." The disciple guarding the door of the tomb replied.
Zhang Shengrui looked a little anxious, but he didn't dare to trespass, he could only wait on the spot, turning around with an anxious expression on his face.
"Didn't it mean that the relationship is very close?" the dark guard said, "Why can't even enter the door."
"Probably because I'm afraid of being assassinated." Lu Zhui said, "The more treacherous and evil people are, the more empty-hearted they will be, and they will always be afraid that someone will seek revenge." That's why the bedroom is also made like a cage.
"It's not good!" A disciple hurried over.
"What happened?" Zhang Shengrui asked.
"The Chu army is attacking again!" The disciple's face turned pale.
Zhang Shengrui was also in a state of disarray at this time—after such a long time, he had long since given up on the idea of retreating. After all, he only wanted to be rich and prosperous, so he stayed in the mountains to work. He thought it was a cult at best, and it was no big deal. But he doesn't want to confront the emperor no matter what, so can he still survive
There was a trace of looseness in the fundus of his eyes, but before he could think clearly, the door of the tomb was already opened with a bang.
"Master." The guard disciples saluted in unison.
Zhang Shengrui also came back to his senses suddenly, stood with his hands down and said, "Master."
"How is it outside the mountain?" the cloaked man asked.
"Just received the news that the imperial court has launched a new round of offensive." Zhang Shengrui said, "Our people are a bit struggling to deal with it."
"Another three days." The man in the cloak said, "When this batch of Gu poison is refined, it will be the day of the death of the other party."
"Guard Master." The little boy who came to report the letter tremblingly said, "I'm afraid it will be a little..."
"Can't last for three days?" The cloaked man was furious.
"Master, please forgive me." The man knelt on the ground with weak knees, "This time, the imperial court seems to be desperate. There are so many people, and they have already arrived at Huanghua Bay. I am afraid they will call here soon."
As if to confirm his words, there was a sudden loud bang in the distance, which was obviously detonated by Thunderbolt.
The disciples present were suddenly panicked. The timing was hard to find, Zhao Yue and Lu Zhui looked at each other, and then jumped out to kill.
The man in the cloak flew backwards, the wind blew the wide sleeves, his arms looked like bones.
The dark guard was frightened, mother, what the hell is this, a skeleton? !
"Come on! Protect the leader!" Zhang Shengrui ordered loudly.
Only then did the rest of the disciples come back to their senses, and they all raised their knives to kill them, but they were stopped on the way, and a group of masked men came from nowhere, and before they could see what was going on, they were beaten and lying on the ground. on the ground.
"Zhao Yue." Although his face was covered, but because the Jiyue knife was so obvious, the cloaked man's voice seemed to come from the underworld, and he sneered, "Sure enough, just like your father, the ghost lingers on."
Zhao Yue slashed in the air, his eyes seemed to be bleeding.
Zhang Shengrui knew something was wrong and turned around to leave, but he was knocked unconscious by the palm of the hidden guard. He tied him up and hung him on a tree—he could be regarded as his right hand anyway, maybe he knew something, so it would be safe to take him back together!
The rest of the Hutou Gang disciples heard the movement, and originally thought of rushing over to help. It turned out that Zhang Shengrui had been captured alive, a group of people lying around were crying for their parents, a group of people were besieging a gang leader, and there was a masked man watching the fun, suddenly his legs felt weak, and he turned around and ran faster than anyone else— Originally, the imperial army was bombarded outside every day, and they were already terrified. Looking at this posture now, it is better to surrender earlier!
The cloaked man's martial arts are not high, but his speed is extremely fast, almost like a ghost, and he will disappear in an instant. Lu Zhui dodged his sword edge sideways, and suddenly remembered the rumors of "ghosts in black" that he had heard a few years ago when he lived temporarily in the East China Sea.
"Li Jiao!" Lu Zhui shouted.
The figure of the man in the cloak paused slightly, and then his moves became more and more ruthless.
"You know him?" The dark guard was surprised.
Lu Zhui didn't have time to say anything, so he stabbed with a sword.
Curiosity is not satisfied, the mascot is a little anxious, and the fight becomes more and more vigorous.
No matter how fast the dodging speed is, it can't match the number of opponents, let alone Zhou Dingtian - although he is often dizzy from his godson's anger, he is still a famous master. The man in the cloak fought and retreated, and finally waved his hand, turning around and trying to escape.
Overwhelming Gu worms buzzed over, the dark guard took out a cloth bag from his bosom, and sprinkled the medicine powder inside. Just kidding, this is my Zuo Hufa's medicine! Even Xiao Wu can be brought down, let alone a few bugs!
The poisonous insect fell to the ground, Zhou Dingtian kicked up a huge boulder, and smashed it heavily on the cloaked man's back, knocking him down from the air.
The hidden guard jumped up and suppressed him, of course he did not forget to put on the gold silk gloves. In case there is poison in our bodies, we still have to keep writing short story books to earn money - the palace lord does not give a monthly increase, so he has to fend for himself, and is often overwhelmed by the burden of life.
Very sad.
Lu Zhui strode forward and took off his mask.
Even though all the people present had gone through the storm, their hearts were filled with horror. The face under the mask was pale and bluish, with sunken eye sockets and a haggard face, as if a layer of human skin had been covered over the white bones. Because of being hit by a huge boulder mixed with internal force, blood oozes from the corner of his mouth, his eyes are turned white and he is dying, making him look even more horrifying.
"Second leader really knows him?" the dark guard asked again.
Lu Zhui shook his head: "I only know that King Daming had a subordinate named Li Jiao, who was called 'Ghost in Black'."
The horns of the Chu Army could be faintly heard outside, and there was no time to delay any longer, so everyone made a decisive decision and left first with the cloaked man and Zhang Shengrui. Before leaving, the dark guard cleared his throat, and then cried bitterly to the sky: "Brother Yang, little brother Qian Mancang finally avenged you for taking your wife today. If there is a spirit in heaven, let's rest in peace!"
The sound is very loud, comparable to singing opera, and even echoes.
Zhou Dingtian patted Zhao Wu's shoulder sympathetically: "Let's have a drink at a bar some other day, it's really not easy for you."
If I were to face this group of people every day, my life expectancy would be reduced by three years.
Without the guild leader in charge, the Hutou Gang became a mess in an instant. Xiang Lie rushed into the village with a large army, but only saw a post-war mess, so he was shocked and stepped forward to grab an injured minion: " What just happened?"
Minion trembled, rolled his eyes and passed out.
Xiang Lie threw him aside and asked three more people in succession before he managed to figure out what was going on.
"Full of money?" Xiang Lie frowned.
"Yes, yes, the warehouse is full of money." Minoru couldn't speak easily, "The martial arts are extremely high, and it is said that the gang leader robbed his wife."
"It's not his wife!" The other person retorted loudly for meritorious service, "It's his good brother's wife!"
"My surname is Yang!" Someone remembered another detail.
The rest of the people chattered, all wanting to ask for a chance to survive. Xiang Lie was furious, and while ordering people to clean up the mess in the cottage, he personally led the army to chase after him, trying to see if he could be stopped.
Originally thought it was the last battle, who would have thought that such an incident would happen
Inside the government office, Wen Liunian was still dealing with business in the study, and Mu Qingshan persuaded: "Your Excellency, you should go back and sleep for a while, the circles under your eyes are dark."
Wen Liunian shook his head: "Not tired."
"Sleep even if you're not tired." Mu Qingshan insisted.
But Wen Liunian was more persistent than him.
Mu Qingshan had no choice but to ask the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles, so as to fill his stomach - I didn't see him eating anything at noon.
Wen Liunian did not refuse this time, he lowered his head to eat with chopsticks, raised his head after eating half a bowl of noodles, Mu Qingshan was still carefully picking out chopped green onions, and did not move a bite of the noodles.
"My lord!" the yamen servant said at the door, "Someone from the Shang Mansion invited you to come over, saying that there is good tea."
As soon as the words fell, Wen Liunian rushed over.
The yamen servant was taken aback, for the adults could still walk so fast.
Mu Qingshan also ran out the door, leaving two bowls in the study, one was clean with only soup left, and the other was full of noodles, with green onions neatly piled up next to it.
…
Regarding picky eating, it is really a headache.
"How is it?" Wen Liunian ran all the way into the front hall of the Shang Mansion.
"It's frizzy, what does it look like!" Zhou Dingtian frowned.
"Have you caught anyone?" Wen Liunian asked.
"No, I ran away." Zhou Dingtian drank tea.
"You let him run away?" Wen Liunian's eyes widened.
"Little bastard, why are you talking to your godfather? I just let him run away, what's the matter?" Zhou Dingtian blew his beard.
"Then I'll tell Godmother when I get back, you broke her pair of family bracelets, not me!" Wen Liunian was more fierce than him.
Hearing this, Zhou Mubai twitched his mouth and looked at his father, there is such a thing, can you do it, find a five-year-old idiot to take the blame for you.
Zhou Dingtian choked on him until his chest became tight.
Zhao Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry and stepped forward: "Senior Zhou was teasing you, he was caught, and he was in the dark room in the backyard of Shang Mansion."
"Really?" Wen Liunian heaved a sigh of relief.
Zhou Dingtian glared at him.
"Godfather..." Wen Liunian looked innocent.
"Is it over for calling godfather?!" Zhou Dingtian's face darkened.
Wen Liunian knelt down to help him pinch his legs, his eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
Zhou Dingtian patted him on the head: "Go, let's go, people are behind, let's see how you interrogate." Seeing this gave him a headache.
"Thank you godfather." Wen Liunian held his hand seriously, "In the future, if you have to take the blame, just come to me!" Whether it's breaking the bracelet or burning down the house, there is no problem.
It's a very father-son relationship.
The passage in the dark room was a bit slippery, Wen Liunian walked very carefully, Zhao Yue simply hugged him in his arms and took him all the way down.
Zhao Yue's life experience was involved, the others did not follow, only Zhou Dingtian and Lu Zhui accompanied him.
"Some musty smell." Zhao Yue said, "But it's nothing serious, it's been windy all night."
There are many torches around, so it is very bright. After taking Huatang's medicine, the cloaked man had come to his senses and was being chained to the stone pillar.
Although he had been reminded before, Wen Liunian frowned when he saw that indistinguishable face, thinking that he probably didn't need to eat dinner.
What is the purpose of training yourself to be like this...
