Although all the bandits have been wiped out, it doesn't mean that they can relax. On the contrary, there are more things to do-lead people to clean up the cottage, redraw the topographic map of the mountains, open up wasteland, build roads, farm and fish, nothing can be delayed.
But before that, the people of Cangwu City still had another big event on their minds.
"What are you talking about?" Little Sanzi stood under the big locust tree and licked melon seeds, and said happily, "A guest from outside? It's not unusual if you don't know. Remember to get up early tomorrow to watch the excitement. Shangbao of Tengyunbao is mainly getting married That's it!" A big family in the martial arts is generous, not to mention that there are more than a dozen carts full of rare betrothal gifts at the door of Big Brother Mumu, and even the common people in the city, every household has been given red wedding cakes. No matter if you are a local or a foreigner, as long as you are willing to go to say hello, you can have a full stomach, which is really a good thing.
As night fell, Tengyun Fort was still in a hurry. In the yamen of the vast city, Wen Liunian was also leading people to count the congratulatory gifts and various procedures to be sent to the wooden house tomorrow, not to mention everyone in Chasing Shadow Palace. Running out and in until late at night. Only Mu Qingshan had nothing to do, and was driven back to the bedroom by his sister-in-law early, but he couldn't fall asleep for a long time, no matter whether he opened his eyes or closed his eyes, there was only one person he saw.
They are about to get married... Hugging the quilt and turning over, Mu Qingshan was stunned for a while, feeling a bit chilly on his back, so he hurriedly covered the quilt again. Disappointed him.
The temperature on his face was getting higher and higher, and he couldn't sleep more.
According to the rules, couples can't meet each other before getting married. Shang Yunze lives in an inn not far from him, and after drinking a pot of intoxicating spring breeze alone, his eyes are clearer.
The sky is full of stars, covering the small house in the distance, and the little nerd in the house.
"Does the castle master need someone to talk to him?" The dark guard came out of the window beaming.
Shang Yunze's smile froze on his face: "Thank you, no need."
"We don't take money." The dark guard's attitude was very sincere. Not only did he not take money, he even prepared a huge red envelope as a gift.
Shang Yunze raised his head and drank the last glass of wine, and strode out the door.
The dark guard looked slightly sad.
It's a pity that we came here on purpose, it's ruthless to just leave like this.
A slight sound came from outside the window, followed by a familiar low smile: "Are you asleep?"
Mu Qingshan was shocked, this is...
"I can't sleep either." Shang Yunze stood outside, "Come to accompany you."
"We can't meet tonight." Mu Qingshan sat up nervously.
"Can't meet, it's not that we can't talk." Shang Yunze said, "I want to hear your voice."
Mu Qingshan heaved a sigh of relief, hugged his knees and said, "Yes."
The night wind gently blew past his ears, and Shang Yunze leaned against the wall, whispering sweet words.
The little wood at the other end closed his eyes, and his dream was full of smiles.
The next day the weather was fine, Wen Liunian woke up early, hurriedly fumbled for his clothes and put them on.
"Why get up now." Zhao Yue hugged him from behind, "Sleep a little longer."
"I'll go and order the gift list again." Wen Liunian was worried.
"If you are so nervous now, what will happen when you and I get married in the future." Zhao Yue put his chin on his shoulder.
That's different. Wen Liunian thought to himself.
On the day of getting married, I definitely don't have to do anything, just like the current master, just sleep at home.
The two of them just kissed each other last night, and there was a small tooth mark on Zhao Yue's naked chest.
Wen Liunian rubbed his fingers out.
"Why do you like to bite people so much?" Zhao Yue pulled the quilt over his fair and clean shoulders.
"I just like it." The surroundings became warm again, and Wen Liunian leaned lazily in his arms, "I'll sleep for a while."
Zhao Yue straightened his hair with his fingers, but he couldn't help but began to wonder if he should come to propose marriage soon.
Early in the morning there was smoke from the kitchen, the boss rolled up his sleeves and was about to make noodles when his wife patted his head, "Today, Lord Shang is going to get married, so why are we baking cakes?"
The boss was very puzzled: "Shangbao mainly wants to get married, so what's the matter with our family?"
"You are stupid, there is a big banquet of noodles at noon, who wants to eat breakfast, won't save some stomach." The proprietress said, "Don't say it is this morning, I heard that the young man next door started at noon yesterday, I haven't eaten much."
"That's right." The boss suddenly realized, and hurriedly poured the flour back into his pocket.
Or the daughter-in-law has a vision!
The tables, chairs and benches for the water mat were prepared two days ago, and the small kitchen in the wooden house was obviously not enough, so Shang Yunze not only booked the two largest restaurants in the city, but also set up more than a dozen stoves in the suburbs for frying and cooking. Fried, roasted, steamed and boiled, the flames rose a foot high. Near noon, the big guys go to the wedding in groups. The joy is more lively than the Chinese New Year. Even the people in the neighboring towns come to join in the fun, and the laughter almost overwhelms the sky.
Recently there were many things going on in the government office, it was impossible for Wen Liunian to go to Tengyun Castle to congratulate him, so he arrived at the wooden house early, when he entered the door, he bumped into the guard and ran out, almost sitting on the ground.
"My lord, I'm sorry." The dark guard hurriedly supported him, "I didn't see you here."
"It's okay." Wen Liunian wondered, "Did something happen?" Why is it in such a hurry.
"It's nothing, I'll go to the kitchen to get a steamed bun to eat." Anwei said, "This way it looks rushed." It's like taking care of everything.
"Why do you appear to be in a hurry?" Wen Liunian became more and more puzzled.
But the hidden guard had disappeared over the wall—he didn't even leave the door, so he was indeed very busy.
Mu Qingshan was wearing a red wedding dress, which made his whole person look white and delicate. Shang Yunze talked with him most of the night last night, but he was actually not nervous at first. It's just that as soon as I opened my eyes this morning, a group of hidden guards rushed in, followed by the servants sent by Tengyunbao to help, and now Wen Liunian and Zhao Yue, and even Huatang came over Watching the excitement, the house was packed to the brim all of a sudden, not to mention sitting, and there was no place to stand.
"Getting married is really a troublesome thing." Wen Liunian sighed.
Standing beside him, Zhao Yue felt tense for no reason: "No matter how troublesome it is, it will be done." Don't say that you think it's troublesome, so you won't marry.
Wen Liunian said: "Oh." Then when do you plan to propose marriage
Zhao Yue wrapped his shoulders with one hand.
Wen Liunian scratched his nose - in this way, it is actually no different from getting married.
"Lord Shang is here, Lord Shang is here!" the dark guard ran in hastily.
The sound of firecrackers came from a distance, and Mu Qingshan became more and more nervous. If Wen Liunian was not standing behind him, he would almost faint.
So Master Wen thought, what is there to be nervous about? Getting married... What a wonderful thing, it's too late to be happy.
The dark guard took the incense head and ignited a big firecracker, then happily covered his ears, the crackling sound suddenly exploded, Shang Yunze pushed open the door and strode in.
Mu Qingshan stood by the table, looking at him foolishly.
Tears welled up in the dark guard's eyes, so excited that he couldn't extricate himself.
Huatang supported her forehead, if the palace lord wanted to sell these people next time, she would definitely not do anything to stop her.
It's really embarrassing.
The red-armored wolf squatted on Zhao Yue's shoulder, shaking its beard happily. Although it didn't know what happened, it still felt very happy to see the bright red colors all around it!
Amidst the cheers, Shang Yunze picked him up and walked out the door.
Mu Qingshan was dizzy thinking, it seems that it is not the same as when he watched the excitement before and other people in the city got married.
But before he could think it through clearly, he was brought onto his horse and headed towards Tengyun Castle.
"My lord." The butler of the Shang Mansion stepped forward respectfully, "The restaurant has already prepared a banquet."
"Very good." Wen Liunian smiled and took Zhao Yue's hand, "Let's go to the wedding banquet!"
Tranquility, happiness, prosperity and festivities, this is what a town should look like...
Although Tengyun Castle is still some distance away from Cangmang City, the cavalry team to welcome the bride are all good BMW horses, and their foot strength is naturally not comparable to that of ordinary horses, so that Mu Qingshan felt that he hadn't finished being nervous, so he was sent in with a suona bridal chamber.
As the night fell, there was a faint sound of punching and ordering in the distance, which should be the rumored major Jianghu sects. Mu Qingshan stood up and stretched his muscles and bones, then sat at the table and opened the food box. A bowl of steaming chicken porridge, as well as a few light side dishes, are all things I usually like to eat, but this time I don't have much appetite, and I only drank two spoonfuls before being withdrawn.
The red candle on the table was beating, and most of it had been burned. Although there was no watchman, he knew it was very late, so Mu Qingshan couldn't help but stood by the window and looked out, muttering in his heart, why haven't he come back yet
There were footsteps outside the house, Mu Qingshan hurriedly sat back on the bed, but a servant knocked on the door carefully, and then brought in a large bucket of hot water for bathing and washing, saying that the castle owner was drunk and asked the young master to rest first.
drunk? Mu Qingshan was stunned for a moment, how can someone get drunk on a wedding night in the bridal chamber, and the people around him won't persuade him, or is it that people in the Jianghu are just so... casual
Soaking in hot water to wipe his body, Mu Qingshan didn't know whether he should be angry or relieved.
The inner garment and bedding are the most festive red color, soft and comfortable, and the smell of incense is also very good, Mu Qingshan got into the bed and yawned lazily.
It seems to be fine to just sleep all night.
He had been nervous for a long time, and after two days of driving, he was finally able to relax this morning, and the drowsiness swept over him, but before he could fall asleep, the door was already pushed open.
"Little fool, why don't you wait for me." Shang Yunze carried him out of the quilt, lowered his head and was about to kiss him.
"No kiss." Mu Qingshan covered his mouth.
"Huh?" Shang Yunze was amused, "No kisses on the wedding night?"
"Are you drunk?" Mu Qingshan looked at him carefully with wide eyes.
"No." Shang Yunze pinched his chin.
"Liar, just now the servants clearly said you were drunk." Mu Qingshan wrenched out of his arms, "Drunk is not allowed to go to bed!"
Shang Yunze pressed him on the bed, and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "You just got married, why did you become so fierce?"
"Get up!" Mu Qingshan pushed him.
"Little idiot, how could I get drunk at this time." Shang Yunze whispered helplessly in his ear, "I just pretended, otherwise there are so many people outside, how am I going to get out?"
…
Um
Mu Qingshan looked at him suspiciously: "Really not drunk?"
Shang Yunze raised his hand: "I swear."
Mu Qingshan looked at his eyes, it seemed that they were not cloudy, but still very clear.
"Can I go to bed?" Shang Yunze chuckled lightly.
"Go take a bath." Mu Qingshan turned his head with red ears, reeking of alcohol.
Shang Yunze sucked his pink neck heavily, then turned over and got out of bed, and came over with two white porcelain wine glasses after taking a bath: "Bring a glass of wine."
Mu Qingshan sat up, took it over and smelled it.
"It's flower wine, not strong." Shang Yunze's tone was ambiguous, "I'm not willing to let you get drunk tonight."
Mu Qingshan blushed even more, after drinking with him, he wanted to hide under the blanket again.
"Do you know how long I have been waiting for this day?" Shang Yunze hugged him from behind.
"I don't know." Mu Qingshan's voice was muffled, you are such a rascal.
Shang Yunze smiled lowly, but he was not in a hurry to do anything else, he just hugged him quietly, not wanting to let go for a moment.
Originally, she was also a wanton temperament. She never thought about getting married, and never thought that she would be trapped by the same person for the rest of her life.
"Tell me, since when did I fall in love with you?" Shang Yunze bit his earlobe.
Mu Qingshan hugged the quilt: "I don't know!"
Shang Yunze laid him flat on the bed, turned over and pressed him on top.
When does it begin? It probably started when he was foolishly eating chili peppers, or when he was wrapped in a round padded jacket, standing on the street to buy sugar cakes, and carefully sorting out files in the study, leading a group of children in the government office to study, and helping Uncle Wang sweep the floor and sprinkle water ... many ordinary and simple small details, added up little by little, and finally became the most irreplaceable little idiot.
A small candle was burning beside the bed, Shang Yunze lowered his head and kissed his forehead: "Don't be afraid."
Mu Qingshan was a little uncomfortable, but still nodded obediently: "Yeah."
You're so obedient at times like this... Shang Yunze's movements were very gentle, for fear of scaring people away.
The underwear was thrown out of the bed curtain, Mu Qingshan closed his eyes, and was completely embraced by him.
The intimate contact of the hot skin seems to burn with the heart.
"I love you so much." Shang Yunze whispered in his ear.
Mu Qingshan was short of breath, and unconsciously wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
The big hand caressed the small body in his arms, Shang Yunze felt very pity, and the kiss became more and more lingering, until he was sure that the little idiot was no longer nervous, and then he slowly taught him how to love and be happy, patient and gentle .
The bed curtain pours down like running water, covering the infinitely charming spring scenery.
When the sky was about to dawn, Mu Qingshan's face was pale, and he curled up softly in his arms.
"Do you want some water?" Shang Yunze asked.
"No." Mu Qingshan felt aggrieved, "It hurts."
"It won't hurt next time." Shang Yunze pressed his waist for him, "Be good."
"There will be no next time." Mu Qingshan's eyes are like little peaches.
"Ok, go to sleep." Shang Yunze patted him on the back, "Don't cry, don't cry."
Mu Qingshan coughed hoarsely, and when he fell asleep, there were still tears on his eyelashes.
Shang Yunze bowed his head and kissed him, not wanting to look away even for a moment.
I have never been so satisfied in my life.
This Mu Qingshan got married, and the other Wen Liunian naturally became even busier, hardly even touching the ground.
"Aren't you going home for dinner?" Zhou Dingtian raised his beard, the emperor reckoned he wasn't so busy!
Wen Liunian took people to check everywhere in the mountains, and made detailed records of where roads were built and where fish were raised.
In midsummer, the weather in the mountains is unpredictable, the sun is shining brightly in one place, and the rain is about to come in another place. With the cold and heat and overwork, Wen Liunian finally passed away vigorously and fell ill in bed. It was hot for three days, and I barely regained my energy on the fourth day.
Zhou Dingtian slapped the table, "This official is not allowed to do it again!"
"Hungry." Wen Liunian was wrapped in a big quilt and leaned on the bed, aggrieved and pitiful, still coughing softly.
So Zhou Dingtian lost his temper immediately, and went out to prepare meals by himself.
Zhao Yue held him in his arms and sighed inwardly.
"Godfather has already said it once, so don't say it again." Wen Liunian said, "I want to be quiet for a while."
"It's fine once or twice. If you will tire yourself out in the future, not to mention Senior Zhou, even I won't agree." Zhao Yue held his hand, "What is your body better than?" All important."
"I don't know when I will be transferred." Wen Liunian leaned against his chest, "Before I leave, I want to do more things for the common people."
"You have done enough." Zhao Yue said, "Besides, there are a lot of talents in Dachu, maybe the next one will do well."
"Yeah." Wen Liunian yawned, "I still want to sleep."
"Sleep after eating." Zhao Yue patted him on the back, "The kitchen has been stewing bird's nest porridge, and the disease can be cured quickly if you have strength."
Wen Liunian stretched vigorously, feeling that if he knew this earlier, he would have learned some boxing and kicking skills from his godfather - people who practice martial arts seem to have a good physical foundation.
In the afternoon, Zhou Mubai came over to take a look at him, but was stopped when he entered the door: "Sit down!"
"What did I do wrong again?" Zhou Mubai was surprised, why was he so serious.
"Tell me about Qingqiu." Wen Liunian sat cross-legged on the bed.
"Qingqiu?" Zhou Mubai frowned.
"Yeah, things happened one after another recently, and I didn't have time to ask them properly." Wen Liunian said, "I just happen to be free now."
"You're still sick, take a good rest." Zhou Mubai shook his head.
"I've been sleeping for three days." Wen Liunian said, "Do you want to tell me? If not, I'll go to my godfather and complain that you won't let me rest."
"..." Zhou Mubai's head was buzzing.
"Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up." Wen Liunian urged.
"There's nothing I can do about you." Zhou Mubai conceded, "I don't know much about it, but the whole island does seem to have the shadow of a cult. It is said that it has only grown stronger in the past ten years. There are many ecstasy formations around. It’s hard to break in, so it’s even more mysterious.”
"Does it have anything to do with Daming King?" Wen Liunian asked.
"No." Zhou Mubai said, "I'm not sure if there is, but the rumors are true. I have also traced Qingqiu's origin for a while, but no one can tell."
"According to what Li Jiao said, Qingqiu should be the same as him, the right arm of the King of Ming Dynasty." Wen Liunian said, "Perhaps it is because of the light and the darkness, so there are only Li Jiao in the rural rumors, and there has never been Qingqiu. .”
"So?" Zhou Mubai asked, "You want to intervene in this matter?"
"I have to think about it again." Wen Liunian was thoughtful.
Zhou Mubai shook his head: "You shouldn't meddle in the grievances of Jianghu."
Wen Liunian perfunctory: "Oh."
Zhou Mubai said: "Father will not agree either."
Wen Liunian continued: "Oh."
Zhou Mubai was helpless: "Are you listening to me?"
Wen Liunian said, "Yes."
Zhou Mubai: ...
"Have you ever heard of the Dragon King of the East Sea?" Wen Liunian asked again after a while.
"Naturally, Sea Dragon King Chu Heng." Zhou Mubai said, "He is now leading the East China Sea Garrison, and the common people are saying that it is quite a shadow of Yun Duanhun back then."
Chu Heng was originally Chu Yuan's uncle. After Yun Duanhun disappeared, he was sent by the first emperor of the Chu family to guard the East China Sea. Later, he was given the surname of Chu as a general and marquis, and his prestige in the army was extremely high.
"You are also the first to think of him." Wen Liunian said, "Besides, is there a possibility that there will be a second Sea Dragon King?"
"The second one?" Zhou Mubai shook his head, "It's unlikely, the one who has something to do with the 'dragon' must be a relative of the emperor anyway, and no one in the ordinary world is willing to find trouble for him."
"What do you think of Chu Heng?" Wen Liunian looked at him.
"I haven't dealt with them before, but the army is very strict and has a good reputation among the people." Zhou Mubai replied.
Wen Liunian propped his cheeks to think about something.
It sounds like a loyal minister and good general, so why did Zhang Shengrui say that Li Jiao planned to go to Chu Heng after the matter was completed
It doesn't seem like it should be related...
"What are you thinking?" Zhou Mubai waved his hands in front of his eyes, "Dazed again."
"It's nothing." Wen Liunian lay down on his back, "I'll sleep again." The wind and cold hadn't fully recovered yet, and he felt dizzy after sitting for a long time.
Zhou Mubai nodded, "You have a good rest."
"Mubai." Wen Liunian stopped him when he reached the door, "Thank you."
"Thank you." Zhou Mubai said, "It's just a trivial matter."
Wen Liunian smiled: "Yes."
Looking at those familiar eyes, Zhou Mubai's heart throbbed suddenly, but he finally turned around and went out the door.
To miss is to miss, so what if you don't want to give up
Sea Dragon King... Wen Liunian was lying on the bed, still thinking about the conversation just now.
"If you catch a cold, don't cover yourself with the quilt." A moment later, Zhao Yue came in with soup and medicine.
Wen Liunian kicked his legs: "Yes."
Zhao Yue shook his head and picked him up with one hand: "Take medicine."
"Where's the sugar?" Wen Liunian asked.
"Guard Zuo forbids you to eat any more candy." Zhao Yue said, "Otherwise your teeth will be broken."
"Bitter." Wen Liunian wrinkled his nose, trying to protest, but before he could speak, he pinched his nose and forcibly gulped it down.
…
Not happy!
So at dinner time that day, everyone heard a great news.
My lord, he is on a hunger strike.
