Since Wen Liunian usually has a good appetite, everyone's first reaction when they heard that he was on a hunger strike this time was—this must have something to do with the head of the family again.
Zhou Dingtian's beard was about to fly into the sky: "What's going on?"
Zhao Yue had no choice but to say: "Because I don't give him candy."
Zhou Dingtian slapped the table angrily: "Don't even give Xiaoliuzi a piece of candy?!" It's like this now, after they get married, they will still have it, so they say they still want to take them back to Jiangnan!
The dark guards also condemned fiercely, saying that the adults have been working so hard for the people in the city recently that they are exhausted, and we all feel distressed when we see it, but we don't even have to eat candy, it really shouldn't be!
Lu Zhui shook his head aside, there was no cure, and he would be killed sooner or later.
The red-armored wolf was on the table, and looked at Master Zhao with very sympathetic eyes.
Hua Tang said: "Although eating too much is not good for teeth, but the medicinal juice is really sour and bitter, it's okay to eat some peanut candy after drinking it."
Under the bombardment of everyone, Zhao Yue honestly went to the bedroom with a plate of candied fruit and zongzi candy.
Wen Liunian rolled himself up under the blanket, still looking at the top of the bed angrily.
Zhao Yue sat by the bed.
Wen Liunian turned his back to him.
"How about something to eat?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Don't eat!" Wen Liunian covered his head under the quilt.
"I brought your favorite candied fruit." Zhao Yue carried him out, "We will have dinner after eating."
"I don't want to eat that!" Wen Liunian was angrily.
"I know I was wrong." Zhao Yue held his hand, "I won't give you medicine next time, huh?"
"No!" is really very principled.
Zhao Yue took the candied dates from one side and handed them to his mouth: "I just bought them, and I used Sophora japonica honey."
Wen Liunian tightly shut his mouth.
"What about this?" Zhao Yue changed another one, "Dried apricots from Tianshan."
Wen Liunian looked at the roof, but he still didn't want to eat.
Pinching the nose and pouring medicine, it is fierce, and no sugar is given!
Zhao Yue picked up another piece of wax gourd honey, which was golden yellow and orange.
Wen Liunian thought to himself, it looks delicious.
Zhao Yue fed it into his mouth.
Wen Liunian was stunned for a moment, he just ate it.
Haven't asked me yet.
Zhao Yue pinched his chin, lowered his head and kissed him gently.
The small candy was pushed up by the tip of the tongue, and the sweet taste immediately melted in the mouth, as sweet as I thought before.
After a long time, Zhao Yue was finally willing to let him go, Wen Liunian's cheeks were a little red, and he leaned in his arms and didn't speak for a long time.
"Not angry?" Zhao Yue asked in a low voice.
Wen Liunian licked his lips, the candy was delicious.
Looking at the soft tip of his tongue, Zhao Yue's heart moved, he bowed his head and kissed again.
Wen Liunian rubbed his nose, "We need to eat."
The hidden guard who had been squatting outside the door quickly rushed to the kitchen, very conscientious.
Not for eavesdropping at all.
When the people in the city heard that the lord was tired and sick, they were naturally concerned. Fresh eggs, vegetables and fresh fish were sent to the government office in a steady stream. Uneasy to ask, I heard that after the suppression of the bandits, my lord will be transferred to Wangcheng as a high-ranking official, is it true or false
The steward of the government office patiently said: "I can't say for sure, but even if my lord really wants to leave, he will take care of everything and will definitely not leave the people alone."
The common people nodded, while reluctantly looking into the government office.
I haven't seen such a good prefect for many years, if only I don't leave...
More than half a month later, Shang Yunze also took Mu Qingshan back from Tengyun Fort—according to his previous thinking, he originally wanted to stay on the mountain for a while, at least to make people fatter before leaving the mountain, but Mu Qingshan was worried. Looking at Wen Liunian's official business with the government office, he kept arguing about coming back, and if he didn't agree, he would get sulky, and he wouldn't be hugged at night, and even if he had a secret kiss, he would be pushed away, which was really a headache.
"You'll bully me too." Shang Yunze pinched his face.
"Yeah." Mu Qingshan huddled in his arms, "I still want to eat."
Shang Yunze obediently fed him a candied hawthorn.
The carriage stopped at the gate of the government office, Mu Qingshan happily jumped off the carriage with puffy cheeks: "My lord, I'm back!"
"Master." Upon hearing the transmission, Wen Liunian also ran out, "Why did you come back so soon? I still have to stay in Tengyun Castle for a while."
"There's nothing to do on the mountain, and there's a lot of official business in the government recently." Mu Qingshan said, "I came back early."
"That's fine." Wen Liunian said, "But even if Master doesn't come back, I will send someone to send a letter to Tengyun Castle."
"What's the matter?" Mu Qingshan asked.
Wen Liunian said: "Commander Xiang just came back from the government office yesterday, the transfer order has been issued, and the next magistrate will come soon."
"So fast?" Mu Qingshan was slightly taken aback.
"That's right." Wen Liunian went into the study together with him, "Actually, it's not too late. If there were no bandits from Cangmang Mountain, I should have left more than a month ago."
Mu Qingshan was very reluctant.
"My successor is Qian Mingfang, who is considered a good official." Wen Liunian said, "Now that the banditry has been eradicated, according to Mr. Qian's ability, he will soon be able to lead the people to live a good life."
Mu Qingshan nodded: "Yeah."
"If master wants to stay in the government office, then I will study the book—"
"No need." Shang Yunze interrupted him at the door, "We will also go to the royal city with your lord."
"Really?" Wen Liunian was pleasantly surprised.
"Yeah." Mu Qingshan nodded, "It was agreed earlier that I'm going to visit my friends in the royal city. I've never been out of Cangwu City since I was a child, so I'll follow along to see the excitement."
"It's so good." Wen Liunian immediately cheered up. He was a little bit reluctant before, but now it seems that there will be no one missing—except that Zuo Hufa is pregnant and has to go back to Chasing Shadow Palace to raise a baby and wait for delivery. Even the dark guards will go to the royal city together.
"The heroes of Chasing Shadow Palace are going too?" Mu Qingshan was surprised, thinking that this end was over and he was going back to Sichuan.
"Yes." Wen Liunian said with a grin, "The emperor signed an agreement with Qijue Kingdom of the desert a while ago to jointly open up a commercial road to the West. After hearing the news, the small countries around them also want to share the pie. The envoys of the other countries should all go to the royal city, and the Lord Qin and Young Master Shen of the Chasing Shadow Palace will also go, and the dark guards will naturally also go together."
"So many great people." Mu Qingshan looked forward to it.
It is really possible to see the big world.
Three days later, Zhao Wu and Huatang bid farewell to everyone, left Cangwu City first, and headed all the way to Chasing Shadow Palace in Central Shu.
Five days later, Qian Mingfang succeeded Wen Liunian and became the new magistrate of Cangmang City.
Although the common people were reluctant to give up, they also knew that the emperor's fate was difficult, so they spontaneously staged a three-day performance in the city, and had a farewell party with everyone for Wen Liunian.
The vast mountain is already peaceful, the common people go fishing and chopping firewood together, and their life is a bit more peaceful and prosperous than before. When the mountain road is repaired, caravans from outside will also come in, and life will be better. The previous bandit strongholds had already been demolished, only Chaomuya remained. The original third master brought the rest of his disciples back to set up camp, farm and fish, and soon resumed their previous routine.
As for Li Jiao and Zhang Shengrui, they were temporarily sent to the Sun Moon Villa in the south of the Yangtze River—if the Tiger Head Gang is an ordinary cult, then Shen Qianfeng of the Sun Moon Villa is the leader of the martial arts and should be under his control; The person next to her pillow is the current young prince, a real relative of the royal family, and it should be under his care. What's more, Wen Liunian had another thought in sending people to the south of the Yangtze River, since it was close to the southeast coast, maybe he could find out new things.
All in all, no matter from which point of view, there is no more suitable place than Sun Moon Villa, it must be worth giving away!
In order not to let the people see them off, they left Cangwu City at midnight on purpose. Five fine horses and two carriages were in the middle of the night.
Wen Liunian lay on the window of the carriage, reluctantly looking out.
"We will come back when we have a chance in the future." Zhao Yue pulled him back to his side, "Don't look at it, lest you catch a cold again."
"I don't know when I'll have a chance." Wen Liunian leaned in his arms, his tone full of reluctance.
"Go to sleep for a while." Zhao Yue said, "I will probably be on the road for the last three days, and I will be a little tired."
Wen Liunian responded in a low voice, then curled up obediently in his arms.
Zhao Yue patted him on the back with his hand, his eyes were very gentle.
In the carriage on the other side, Mu Qingshan was leaning on the small bed, eating a plate of snacks.
"Still sleeping?" Shang Yunze scratched his nose.
"Not sleepy." Mu Qingshan held the cup to drink water.
"It's rare to see you so energetic." Shang Yunze helped him wipe off some powdered sugar on his face.
"I've never traveled so far before." Mu Qingshan said honestly.
"So you're so happy that you can't sleep?" Shang Yunze laughed, holding him and sitting in his arms, "From now on, you can go anywhere you want."
Mu Qingshan thought for a while: "Then I have to go to the beach first."
"En." Shang Yunze nodded.
"I still want to go to Jiangnan."
"good."
"I still want to go to the snow mountain."
"not afraid cold?"
"Will it be cold?"
"...Not at all." With me around, not at all.
Mu Qingshan clasped his fingers together and stretched vigorously.
Shang Yunze picked him up: "You really don't want to sleep?"
"Yeah." Mu Qingshan replied foolishly.
"Then do something bad?" Shang Yunze asked ambiguously in his ear.
Mu Qingshan froze: "This is in a carriage."
"Good boy." Shang Yunze pulled his belt away.
Mu Qingshan's face was red and his ears were red and struggling: "You let me go!"
"There are still people listening outside." Shang Yunze laughed lowly, "Are you sure you want to make such a loud voice?"
Mu Qingshan quickly covered his mouth.
"Really obedient." Shang Yunze was very satisfied, and stroked his chest with his palm.
Mu Qingshan kicked him with red eyes, bullying others!
The two driving guards outside looked at each other, flicked their horsewhip wisely, and distanced themselves from the rest.
"Well..." The carriage suddenly became bumpy, and Mu Qingshan bit his shoulder, aggrieved and anxious.
Shang Yunze dragged his back with one hand, and held his delicate waist with the other, breathing more and more heavily.
Seeing it from a distance, the dark guards felt very puzzled, Hao Duanduan suddenly ran so fast, could it be to show off to us
That must not lose!
So Wen Liunian, who was sleeping, was jolted awake.
The guards of Tengyunbao were startled: "What's the matter?" Why did they drive the car and rushed over suddenly.
"Drive!" The dark guard flicked his horsewhip, and flew past them at lightning speed.
The carriage of the Chasing Shadow Palace ran so fast that it did not embarrass the Young Master and the Young Palace Master at all.
"Ah!" Wen Liunian hit his head against the car, causing his nose to wrinkle in pain.
"What's the matter?" Zhao Yue opened the curtain and asked.
The dark guard said beamingly: "We are the fastest now!" He couldn't help puffing out his chest proudly.
Zhao Yue: ...
After a while, Jiang Hu's mascot was kicked off the carriage and had no choice but to return to ride the horse lazily.
When he was driving the young master back then, he was chased away by the palace lord with a black face just like now.
Fortunately, we are still so handsome.
It's very sad.
There are mostly deep mountains along the way, so there are not many towns and villages. Most of the people spend most of their time sleeping in the woods. Although it is already midsummer, the nights are still cold. People who practice martial arts are even better. Wen Liunian and Mu Qingshan are somewhat I couldn't bear it anymore, and I was coughing due to the cold.
Everyone was sick, so Xiang Lie couldn't force himself to hurry, so he went back to Wangcheng alone to return to his orders, and let the two of them take care of themselves before leaving.
The place where everyone temporarily lives is called Yaojia Town. There is only one inn in the city. It looks a little old, and usually there are porters and traders staying temporarily. This time, so many big people came here, and even the boss was alarmed and ran away in person. Go downstairs and settle down.
The tables, chairs, and benches in the house were shabby, and the bedding still had a musty smell. Shang Yunze frowned as soon as he entered the door, and sent his subordinates to the city to buy new bedding and quilts, and opened the windows for a long time before letting everyone in.
Wen Liunian picked up the teacup and looked at it. There was a circle of black tea stains, and he immediately put it down with disgust.
Zhao Yue said: "I'll get you a cup in the carriage."
"I'll go too." Wen Liunian stood up, "By the way, let's get some air."
Zhao Yue nodded, took a cloak from one side, and wrapped him tightly.
"The distinguished guest wants to go out?" The boss was dialing the abacus behind the counter, when he saw the two of them going downstairs, he quickly dropped his work and ran out.
"Yes." Wen Liunian said, "The room is too stuffy, I'll go out and take a walk."
"It's better not to go out, it's getting dark," the boss said.
Zhao Yue was puzzled when he heard the words: "Can't you go out when it's dark?"
"It was possible before, but it's better to be more careful recently." The boss whispered, "I don't know if you are outsiders, this town has not been peaceful recently."
"Why?" Wen Liunian asked.
"It can't be said, it's just that the evil door is tight." The boss said, "The mayor invited an expert from outside to look at it, and said that the city is haunted, and if you go out at night, you will be seduced."
"It's nonsense." Wen Liunian shook his head, "Have you reported it to the government?"
"What's the use of reporting ghosts and gods to the government." The boss said, "The night is cool, the honored guest should go back early and rest."
Before he finished speaking, Wen Liunian wrapped his cloak tightly and went out.
