Lu Yun stared blankly at the golden ring in his hand, dumbfounded, just now the maid came to look for the lost golden ring of the county master, but he subconsciously hid the golden ring, and he couldn't help but feel a little remorse, even though he knew that the girl was like water to him. Xian, the flower in the dream, why did he fall so deeply and miss the only chance to take revenge on Jiang Zhe, that's all, just, Rou Lan is just Jiang Zhe's righteous daughter, how can he be so shameless and can't do anything to Jiang Zhe, he will target Put it on a little girl.

At this moment, Li Lin's roar suddenly came from a distance: "What, you said that Rou Lan fell into the water and almost drowned, how is this possible, you dare to curse her, this king will cut you."

Lu Yun's heart froze, he was already quite jealous of Li Lin, lest he ask too many questions and find that he was wrong, he hurried to hear the sound, and before he could get around the flowers, he heard a clear and powerful voice. "Brother Lin, don't be reckless, this maid may be too much, but it's definitely not malicious, didn't you also hurry back after hearing that Rou Lan fell into the water, let's go to the inner house to see, this girl is used to fooling around on weekdays , maybe what's going on?"

Lu Yun's heart moved, and when he looked through the flowers, he saw Li Lin standing angrily in front of a maid on the flower path in front. There was a young man in bright yellow clothes, about fifteen or sixteen years old, handsome and gentle, with deep eyes, like a deep pool, with a calm demeanor, he was pulling Li Lin to persuade him. Don't think about it, seeing this young man's costume and the name of Li Lin, Lu Yun's heart is like a river and a sea, but he is less than a few feet away from the Prince of Dayong, His Royal Highness Li Jun, and he can't help holding the dagger. His eyes fell on the face of the young prince, seeing his gentle demeanor, with a smile to persuade him, although he had an incomparably noble identity, it made one feel like a spring breeze. I heard that the Crown Prince guarded Youzhou on behalf of Li Zhi at a very young age. He was known for his benevolence and filial piety. When he saw him now, he was indeed very charismatic. When he thought of Zhao Long, the ruler of Southern Chu, he was obviously of the same age, and he was the ruler of a country. He only knows how to eat, drink, and have fun, he is mediocre and incompetent, and his heart is even more painful, and his breath is in a mess. A young guard standing behind Li Jun raised his brows, stepped forward, stood beside Li Jun, and shouted, "Who is sneaking behind the flowers." His tone was not sharp, probably because this was the residence of Princess Changle. , because it is recognized as one of the most heavily guarded mansions.

Lu Yun was shocked, walked around the flowers, knelt down on one knee to Li Lin and said, "My subordinate, Yunlu, sees the Prince of the County." He deliberately said that he did not know Li Jun, so that even if he was questioned, it would be lighter, and those who did not know were not guilty. what. Sure enough, he stole a glance, and the guard looked calm and retreated behind Li Jun.

Li Lin said in a rough voice, "So it's your kid. Did you not dare to come here when you saw this king lost his temper?"

Lu Yun felt more stable in his heart, lowered his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "My subordinates dare not."

Li Lin waved his hand and said: "Forget it, come to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Brother Huang, this is my new bodyguard, I see that this kid is not bad, I plan to send it to the East Palace to be your bodyguard in a few years, but it's not enough right now. Ming Jian Si and Si Wen Cao are watching closely, the identity of this kid is not very clear, if I send it, I am afraid that I will be impeached."

Li Jun smiled slightly, and he naturally knew the truth. The guards around him were carefully selected, and their background and martial arts character had to be assessed. However, since Li Lin attaches so much importance to this young guard, he must be a rare talent. He took a step forward and picked up Lu Yundao with his own hands: "Pingshen, you are Brother Lin's guard, and you will inevitably meet Gu often in the future. You don't have to be so polite, and don't listen to Brother Lin's nonsense. The guards of Gudong Palace are all assigned by the father. The number of people is limited, so it is inevitable that you will have more conditions. You will follow the King of Jiajun in the future, and you will have a bright future. In a few years, you will make a name for yourself in the battlefield.

Lu Yun was submissive, with admiration flashing in his eyes. This Prince Dayong is indeed an emperor. Just a few simple words can make people feel warm. If he is really a carefree Yunlu, I'm afraid It is also possible to give back in the future.

Li Jun looked at Lu Yun for a moment, and saw that although this young man was young, his demeanor was quite respectful, but his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, with a hint of arrogance and strength in his eyebrows. With a glance, he applauded, "Brother Wang's eyesight is indeed extraordinary. I see that this son has the bearing of the eldest grandson."

Li Lin showed a smug look. He was still young, and showing such an expression not only did not make people angry, but it made people feel that he was particularly childish. Li Jun shook his head and smiled, and said, "Okay, let's go to see Rou Lan. She has suffered so badly, and she will definitely pay for it from us. If it's too late, I'm afraid she will be left out for a few days."

Li Lin's expression changed, and angrily said: "Rou Lan is the most eccentric, every time I see you, she smiles, and when she sees me, her eyebrows are raised, obviously you can only come to see her once every three or five days, and I accompany her almost every day. She, but she always treats you so kindly."

Li Jun laughed and said: "Who told you to not watch her grow up? I think when I was the heir of Prince Yong, I tried my best to help her escape from her uncle's poisonous hands. As for you, Donghai was with her when we first met him. Dispute, and forced the little girl to call your brother, and later was deceived by the uncle, when his accomplice bullied Rou Lan, you deserve to be punished today."

Li Lindun was silent, his face was black and red for a while, he looked around at the guards who couldn't bear to laugh, and shouted: "Go away, this is the uncle's house, and you need to watch the play here." The guards looked at each other, wondering if they should obey. Li Jun smiled and said: "Forget it, except for Leng Hui, you all go down to rest." Except for the young guard standing behind Li Jun, the other guards all dispersed, Lu Yun sighed in his heart and was ready to leave . Unexpectedly, Li Lin stopped him and said, "Yun Lu, you were with Brother Huo and Rou Lan. I heard that you rescued Rou Lan, right?"

Lu Yun blushed, remembering that he was going to take Rou Lan's life, he couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, and said in a low voice, "This subordinate happened to be there, because I have a little water, so I had to offend the county master."

Li Jun let out a snort, and looked at Lu Yun with a little more appreciation, nodded lightly, and then walked towards the inner house. Li Lin waved his hand, indicating that Lu Yun didn't have to follow him, and then hurried away. Lu Yun was stunned for a moment, and finally sighed, and walked listlessly towards Qi Fengxuan.

Who would have guessed that he had just walked to Qifengxuan when Li Lin rushed in angrily and shouted, "I'm so pissed off, I'll go back to the mansion with me." Seeing his fury, the guards did not dare to ask him what happened What happened, I had to hurriedly follow Li Lin out of the Changle Princess Mansion. Li Lin took the horse and whipped it down angrily. He even galloped in the imperial city. The guards were shocked and called out from behind. Riding a horse in the imperial city was a serious crime. Although Li Lin's back was gone, he could only be anxious and hurried to Qi Wangfu.

Lu Yun felt strange in his heart, and asked a more familiar guard, "What's wrong with your lord, you are so angry?"

The guard looked left and right for a moment, then whispered: "It must have eaten at the top of the Zhaohua County Lord again. Who does not know the entire Chang'an City, our County King is not afraid of the sky, the earth is not afraid, just afraid of Chu Hou and Zhaohua County Lord, especially County Lord, if the two of them are together, there must be a big quarrel for three days and a small quarrel for two days. In the end, either the County Lord went to cry to our prince and princess, or the County Prince went to complain to His Royal Highness Princess Changle. They were both persuading and punishing, but when they turned their faces, the two of them were reconciled again, but now no one cares about it. But today is really strange. Originally, if His Royal Highness Prince and Mrs. Huo were present, they would always be able to persuade them. Those who live in the county prince and county master, I don't know what happened today, and the words of these two are useless."

Lu Yun listened to it interestingly, and couldn't help but lower his head and chuckle. No matter how noble their identities are, Jiang Roulan, the Lord of Zhaohua County, and Li Lin, the King of Jia County, are children after all, but it is really difficult for him to compare this childish boy today with the one who is there. When Jin Guyuan summoned him, the stern King Jiajun contacted him.

After a while, the guards returned to Prince Qi's mansion, and at a glance, they saw Li Lin striding around the door, and seeing these guards, he angrily said: "Why so slow, the father asked me to go with my mother and concubine. Nanshan, why don't you hurry up and prepare." When the guards heard it, they couldn't help but justify that the prince was too fast, and hurried to prepare the luggage. Lu Yun was overjoyed in his heart. He was worried about how to leave King Jia Jun and go to Nanshan to find an opportunity to assassinate Jiang Zhe. He never thought that King Jia would also go to Nanshan. All the guards had gone, and only Li Lin was standing in front of the palace gate angrily, kicking at the dismounting stone, venting his anger.

Looking at Lu Yun's back, Li Lin kicked away angrily. Just now, he looked at Rou Lan. Unexpectedly, she sneered at herself, saying that her eyesight was poor, and she kept an assassin by her side. How can you blame him, obviously It was Si Wencao who didn't check it out, and besides, didn't she admire Yun Lu quite a bit at first, why is the responsibility all on him now. Annoyed and annoyed, he wanted to go out immediately and Yun Lu killed him, but he was stopped by Huo Cong, who instead asked him to take Yun Lu to Nanshan Bieye. Seeing that the young man who deceived him couldn't take punishment, his anger could not be subsided, he simply violated the prohibition and galloped back to the Qi Wangfu. No matter how angry he was, he knew that Huo Cong meant what his uncle Jiang Zhe meant. Along the way, he was thinking about how to take Yunlu to Nanshan Bieye, and he had to find a reason not to make him suspicious. This is what Brother Huo explained. of. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned to the mansion, he learned that Princess Qi Lin Bi was going to Nanshan, originally to let his concubine Li Jing accompany him. Otherwise, how could the concubine go to Nanshan alone inexplicably? Now that the concubine is pregnant again, the father and the king are almost inseparable. Thinking that he has made a mistake this time, he will be ridiculed by his uncle and Rou Lan within a few months, and he is angry and frustrated, and even more angry with Yun Lu. pierced.

Full of doubts in his heart, Lu Yun didn't understand why Princess Qi would go to Nanshan by car. He had been in Prince Qi's mansion for many days, and he already knew that Prince Qi's mansion had no other business in Nanshan. He has other businesses in the western and eastern suburbs, but he did not build other businesses in Nanshan. But he was too lazy to think too much. It would be nice to have the opportunity to go to Nanshan anyway. He was thinking about how to find Jiang Zhe's other career, how to sneak in and assassinate, but he didn't pay attention to the cold eyes that Li Lin occasionally looked at him.

Nanshan was fifty or sixty miles away from Chang'an, and he had to detour to the western suburbs. Li Lin was instructed by his father that Lin Bi was not allowed to be tired. . Nanshan forests are beautiful and majestic. Soap, Fengshui, Bashui, Chanshui, and Kushui all originate from Nanshan and flow into Wei in the north. Winding down, several waterside pavilions have been built along the stream. On both sides are rugged rocks, abundant vegetation and no roads. If you want to enter or leave other industries, you can only cross the water by boat. The streams converged into a pool at the foot of the mountain, and a light boat was parked in the pool. These guards from Yunlu were the last to board the boat, sailing against the current, but the servant in Tsing Yi was very familiar with it. This water pavilion must be designed to accommodate the guards and servants, it is spacious and simple.

After arriving, Lu Yun knew that this was Chu Junhou's other business. In addition to being overjoyed, he was thinking about how to find an opportunity to assassinate. Lu Yun chose a room near the water to live in. This room is located in the corner of the water pavilion, which is small and cramped. No one competed with him, but it was exactly what he wanted. Open the window, and there is a stream of water below it. The stream is crystal clear, the bottom of the stream is jagged, and among the sharp gravel, you can see fish and shrimps playing. Lu Yun looked up along the stream, and as far as he could see, he could already see two water pavilions. Although there is a Hongqiao connection between the water pavilions, Lu Yun knew that if he walked up, he would definitely be caught immediately, so his eyes fell on the stream. If it was night, he should be able to go upstream and find Jiang Zhe's Let's sleep.

After dinner, Lu Yun only said that he was tired from riding all the way and went to sleep early, and he didn't attract anyone's attention. He lived in a small room, so he didn't have to worry about others finding out his whereabouts and fastened the door. After the second watch, when the sky had already turned dark, he put on a black night clothes. This night clothing is refined, light and smooth, and can temporarily replace the water in the water, and the most difficult thing is that it is small and easy to store. He took it with him for a long time, and no one noticed.

Opening the window, he glanced vigilantly, except for a few water pavilions, there was no light, he turned over and jumped out of the window, hung under the window, stretched out his hand to cover the casement, and then plunged into the water, his water was excellent, and his movements were light. The spirit, not only did not make a sound, but even the water did not splash half a minute. After entering the water, he swam against the current. After swimming for a while, he reached the second water pavilion. He climbed up the window facing the water and looked inward. There were also some guards inside. He looked like a tiger guard, and it should be someone next to Jiang Zhe. Going further upstream, before the third water pavilion approached, I heard Li Lin laughing loudly. Lu Yun grabbed the rocks on the shore and rested for a while, then continued upstream, turned a corner, and there were four water pavilions in front of him. The fourth water pavilion was dark and soundless. He swam to the fifth water pavilion and found that this water pavilion was a little different from the previous four. It was only a few feet above the water surface. Outside the room adjacent to the water was a platform. It is suspended in the air by Lingbo, and the three sides are protected by red fences. From here, the stream gradually widens and the water flow is much slower. Lu Yun's heart moved, and he was about to climb on the platform to check it out. He just grabbed a railing with his fingers when he heard the sound of the door opening, and then the light overflowed from the door, enveloping the entire platform in a dim yellow light. Lu Yun felt a chill in his heart, his body sank gently into the water, he just climbed on the pillars supporting the platform in the water and listened intently.

Then a sigh came from his ear. It was the voice of a man. Then, the lights on his head brightened a lot. It must have been the man who lit the tall wind lantern at the corner of the platform. Stealth, Lu Yun was very troubled in his heart, but he could only wait patiently. After a while, the man didn't mean to go back to the room, the mountain wind was cold, and the moonlight and stars were extremely dim. I don't know why this man was in the mood to enjoy the scenery. Lu Yun cursed secretly in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the man suddenly let out a light sigh, and Lu Yun's heart tightened, and then he heard a woman's sigh. The voice was cold and desolate, and Lu Yun only felt a shudder, and couldn't help but listen carefully.

I just heard the woman say: "Invincible, you have been wandering in a foreign land all these years, how are you doing?"

The man's voice was calm and elegant, and he replied: "Thank you for your concern, I can't say whether it's good or not, the days are still peaceful, but I always think of my former colleagues and the wind and smoke of Qinzhou, so I couldn't help coming back after all. It's hard to leave your homeland, that's probably the case. I heard that you have been named a marquis, and you are very much used. I am also happy for you."

The woman said lightly: "Actually, the emperor has treated me too favorably. With my meager credit, it is okay to be the deputy commander of Hu Benwei, but Fenghou is too rewarding."

The man said: "You deserve it, and Dayong is used heavily for you, those who are related to Fengyi Sect will be relieved a lot, knowing that Dayong will not abandon them because of his background. The activities of the remnants in Dayong should be more and more difficult."

The woman was silent for a moment, and said, "I don't need to ask about these things. Since the fall of the Northern Han Dynasty, my wish has been fulfilled. Except for the affairs of Hu Benwei, I have not asked about other things. The responsibility of guarding the royal family is heavy, and I dare not relax. ."

The man sighed: "I know that you don't really care about power, fame and fortune, but it's impossible for you to escape now. If you leave the protection of the Dayong court, you may be unable to move an inch in the world. You have already surrendered, but there must be many people who hold grudges against you, even Fengyimen, they will not let you go. I heard that you are not married yet, and General Huyan, he should be with you this time, right?"

The woman paused for a while and said, "Huyan, he is going to accompany me this time, and he even went to Lord Sima to ask for leave. I had no choice but to let him go. In fact, I am living a good life now, and I don't need to worry about it. , I don’t need to fight with each other. You made it clear about some things. I only need to keep myself safe and enjoy wealth and honor. Such a day is what I most hope for. For so many years, I have struggled and I have already been exhausted. After resigning from office and going into seclusion, His Majesty said that I had too many complaints, and that I had a lot of credit. He didn’t want me to be depressed among the people, so he gave me the position of deputy commander of Hu Benwei. If I have the will, I can do a career, if I don’t want to. , I can also live in peace. The emperor treats me like a mountain, so although I know that they also want to use my identity to appease people, they still stay in Chang'an. Now I have nothing to worry about, the only one I feel sorry for is you, so listen Hou Ye said that you also came to Chang'an, and finally came to see you, do you still hate me?"

The man smiled and said: "Hate, I can't talk about it, thirteen years ago, when you and I broke up, we had already parted ways and each had its own master. Although you voted for Dayong and overthrew the North Han River, I don't hate you. This is your choice. As long as you have no regrets, what else can others blame you for? Seven years ago, I was in a predicament where I could not survive or die. I will never forget the friendship. But Qingmei, I blame you. Although the death of Quartz was caused by many factors, you played a major role, and I know that you took advantage of the affairs between us. Although Quartz doesn't get along with me, he is an upright and upright man. I can never forgive you for this matter. You not only made him speechless and committed suicide, but also slandered his reputation, even though it was a war between two countries. Means, I don't hate you for doing this, but as an old friend, I can't help but blame you."

The woman was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "I understand, I heard what you said today, and I finally felt relieved. Every time I think about the death of General Shi over the years, I feel uneasy and sad, and some people are complaining about it today. Me, I can leave my mind behind. Thank you, Wudi, to get rid of the dead knot in my heart. Over the years, I have been waiting for the opportunity to meet you again. Don't laugh at me, although I was the one who broke off my love in front of General Shi's tomb. Jue Yi, but until today I know that you will blame me for the rest of my life, so I can put my mind down and feel that I will no longer be wrong to you."

The man said solemnly: "I understand, Haili once told me that if you don't give you a chance to break the fate between you and me, you will not be able to live comfortably in your life, otherwise, no matter what, I will not come to Chang'an. General Huyan has been very fond of you over the years, and when I first met you, I knew what he meant, you have been miserable for half of your life, and if you have him by your side, I can rest assured."

The woman's tone was a little more gentle, and she said, "Actually, I have already agreed to his marriage proposal on the way here. Are you willing to stay and attend our wedding banquet?"

The man said happily: "Congratulations, Lord Jiang has agreed to let me go in a few days, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to attend your wedding banquet, tell General Huyan for me, and say that I wish you a happy old age and forever. Unite."

Lu Yun was dazzled and fascinated by what he heard below. At this moment, he had already heard the identities of these two people, Dayongcheng Hou Su Qing, and General Duan Wudi Duan, the only remaining four generals under Long Tingfei's command. He had also heard about their father's stories. , Unexpectedly, I heard the secret conversation between the two today. If it weren't for forcible forbearance, he really wanted to show his head to see the demeanor of the two.

At this moment, the sound of distant footsteps came from my ears. It must have been Su Qing leaving. The man sighed softly, but there was joy and relief in his sigh. He just heard the man whispering: "The spring waves under the sad bridge are green, and it was once the shadow of the world." The voice was desolate, although Lu Yun didn't quite understand the meaning of it, he felt dejected.
