On the eighteenth day of the lunar month, it is a rare good weather.

It's been cold for many days, and there is a thick white gas when I go out to talk. This year is a bit abnormal, there has been no snow, but at the end of the year, most people are also busy, and they don't pay much attention to this.

Annu opened the window, and a few plum trees outside the courtyard had already bloomed, and they looked very beautiful when they were red and gorgeous. Looking back at the man in black sitting on a chair drinking tea. Yesterday he left himself in Willow Lane and left, and did not return until this morning. An Nu thought that he was going to save Mu Qing and Li Qianyu, but in the end, this person came back alone.

"Master, they haven't come back yet, why don't you look for it," Annu put down the pole of the window, a little confused.

Lan Ruo put aside the teacup, looked at Annu, and said in a low and cold voice: "I went to look for it this morning, and the ruined temple is gone." ”

"Gone?" Annu was stunned, "What do you mean it's gone?" ”

Lan Ruo's eyes were dark, and his expression was as pale as usual: "It's gone, it's blown to the ground, it's scorched black, and you can't find anything." ”

Hearing this, Annu gasped heavily, and then his eyes became foggy and watery, and his hands holding the window frame were shaking. He was originally submissive and not too timid, but as long as it involved Mu Qing, he would inevitably think more.

"You say...... The master is dead? ”

The voice was trembling, and the hearts of those who listened to it were painful. But Lan Ruo didn't notice it, but glanced at it widely: "Where did I say that?" ”

Anu glared at him, speechless.

"The master should have left with Mu Gongzi." Can have such great power, Lan Ruo can only think of the heavenly thunder shock. Those few Heavenly Thunder Shocks were carried by Li Qianyu and placed in the hidden pocket in his sleeve in case of emergency, which was also the reason why Lan Ruo was willing to leave Li Qianyu temporarily instead of being guarded all the time.

Now it seems that Li Qianyu has used all those heavenly thunder shocks, and he really has no intention of staying any longer. Such a big movement has always been impossible to hide from the government, and there are still more than ten days before the day of negotiation between the Japanese and the Liao, and Lan Ruo can't figure out how to deal with the past.

However, since the master is resolute, he has an idea, compared to this, he still thinks about how to deal with the master's punishment this time when the guard is not good. Sometimes, Lan Ruo is almost superstitious about Li Qianyu.

Annu didn't believe it, but now there was no other way but to comfort herself and think on the bright side. His face, which was still full of vigor just now, was a little wilted, and seeing that the sun was almost noon, Annu whispered "I'll cook" and left.

Lan Ruo was a little worried, but she didn't show it, just nodded.

Mu Qing and An Nu's home is not big, not to mention that it is several times larger than Jingshi, even a wing room in the Mizhou Prince's Mansion is several times larger than here, but Li Qianyu lived directly next to Mu Qing after he came, and Lan Ruo understood that his master was really interested in Mu Qing.

The purpose of their coming to Guizhou was never Mu Qing, but Li Qianyu was willing to meet Mu Qing in between doing serious things, and Lan Ruo could weigh a few points.

So he was respectful to Mu Qing, including Annu beside Mu Qing, and he was not willing to be alienated.

As a qualified personal guard, in addition to protecting the master at all times, he must also be the master's heart shield to kill people, carry the black pot from time to time, and have a good relationship with the master's close favorites in order to make his position last for a long time.

It's not a calculation, it's just a little bit of a minister's way.

Annu's craftsmanship is very good, which makes Lan Ruo sigh a little, and he doesn't need to be urged to eat. But Annu didn't eat much, and put down the chopsticks after two bites of rice. From time to time, I looked into the yard, and the knot between my eyebrows never opened.

"The master will be back." Lan Ruo wiped the corners of her mouth with her thumb.

Anu pursed her lips slightly and said, "In less than an hour, the township exam will start...... I'm afraid that the master won't be able to catch up. ”

Compared with Li Qianyu's stunning brilliance, Annu seemed much more bland, and Lan Ruo, who had long been accustomed to his master, should have been like water. However, perhaps the afternoon sunlight was too soft, or perhaps the curvature of the corners of Annu's lips was too well-behaved, Lan Ruo, who had always been cold, lowered her eyes slightly, and said lightly: "Let's go." ”

Annu was stunned: "Go?" Where to go? ”

Lan Ruo stood up and straightened the long sword at his waist: "Go to the mansion, you bring the bookcase used by Mu Gongzi." Well, it's better to bring some more food. ”

============================================================================

When I arrived at the palace, there was already a queue at the door.

Compared with the previous two games, there are fewer people this time. Annu carried the bookcase almost all the way, looking left and right, but did not see any trace of Mu Qing.

Thinking that they hadn't come yet, Annu's forehead was already sweating slightly.

"You wait for me here, I'll ask." Annu held on to the last glimmer of hope, hoping that her master had already entered.

"I'm with you." Lan Ruo followed An Nu to the gate of the mansion.

The servants on both sides of the government didn't know Anu and Lan Ruo, so they stopped them directly: "Who are you?" If the candidate is to go to the back of the queue first. ”

Anu wiped his sweat: "We are here to look for someone, have you seen Mu Qing?" ”

Mu Qing's name was naturally known to the errand officer, and he gave them a dismount in the first exam, and they would fight and kick when they said they were fighting, and they were very majestic. Although Hou San was more or less underwhelmed, but after all, it was on the same road, and others who saw Hou San's misery were also related, even though they treated Mu Qing respectfully on their faces, they were all resentful in their hearts.

Seeing that Annu came to look for him this time, he completely lost his voice, and directly scolded: "How can the government be a place where you can go in and out casually!" Let's go, don't let me coax you with a stick. ”

An Nu burst into tears, Lan Ruo frowned, he had seen either a high-ranking official or a marquis before, no matter what he was thinking, his face was a group of kind, where had he ever seen such an arrogant master? Stretching out his hand, he pulled Anu to his side, and he looked at the errand coldly: "If you eat the court, you have to do things well." Our demands are not excessive, and it is okay if you don't let me wait to go in and take a look, so arrogant. ”

"Yo, the words are still in one set." The messenger muttered, then raised his chin and said coldly, "This matter is not my business, who you love to find whom." That look and tone is quite a bit of the charm of some staff members in later generations.

Although Annu was anxious, he also knew that reasoning with him would not lead to anything, so he wanted to pull Lan Ruo away.

At this time, someone walked out of the gate of the government and shouted: "What are you doing again!" ”

Annu looked back, but he recognized that it was the money master book who helped Mu Qing do the guarantee. I was overjoyed in my heart, and I was about to step forward, but I saw Master Qian glancing at him and shaking his head.

At such a time, everyone is afraid of words, and everything must be cautious.

When the messenger saw the money bookkeeper, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, and he immediately woke up, and there was a smile on his face: "Lord Bookkeeper, these two people are going to break into the mansion privately, and the little one is about to blow them away." ”

"Today is a big day to open a department, don't make any trouble," Qian Zhushu glanced at Annu and said, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Annu hurriedly saluted the master of the money and said, "My master ...... My master forgot to bring something, so I'll bring it to him. ”

Lan Ruo glanced at Anu and nodded in his heart. Mu Qing is gone, and it is inappropriate to shake it out now, so it's good to find an excuse.

Qian Zhushu frowned, turned around, glanced at it quickly, and shook his head again when he looked at Annu.

It seemed that Mu Qing really didn't come, Annu gritted his teeth, thanked the Qian master book, and then pulled Lan Ruo away.

Anu crouched under the tree with her bookcase in her arms, staring at her shadow cast on the ground by the sun without saying a word. Lan Ruo stood beside him, only feeling that this person usually doesn't look tall, but now he shrunk into a ball and stayed there, which was even more small and aggrieved.

"Mu Gongzi will be fine." Lan Ruo held the long sword at his waist, and his voice was faint.

Anu nodded, knowing that Lan Ruo was comforting him, and tried to squeeze out a little smile for Lan Ruo to see, but in the end, this smile did not take shape.

Another half an hour passed, and there were fewer and fewer students queuing outside, and when the last student entered the door, Annu stood up with his arm on the tree. After squatting for a long time, his legs were numb, and he stumbled, Lan Ruo quickly grabbed his arm, but was brushed away by Annu.

"I followed my master out of Yizhou and came here to get rid of the old days. The master is reading at home, and he still reads when he comes here, but what he is waiting for is this opportunity, the opportunity to soar into the sky. Annu tightened her arms and looked resolute, "I want to help my master." ”

Lan Ruo looked at him, his eyes were deep: "How can I help?" ”

Annu was stuck, pursed her lips and thought for a long time, then looked up at Lan Ruo: "If I use your sword to threaten the servants not to close the door, do you think it is feasible?" ”

Lan Ruo's eyebrows trembled slightly, and he slowly shook his head and said, "No." ”

Annu's face immediately collapsed, and he went around in circles but couldn't think of a way.

At this time, the messenger had already begun to clean up the table and prepare to close the door, and Annu's face tightened, and he ran forward with the bookcase in his arms. In fact, he didn't know what to do, he just thought that he couldn't close the door, and once he closed the door, his master's hard work during this period would be gone.

But what suddenly broke into the field of vision was a young man in a green shirt, who rushed ahead of Annu, strode up the steps, and then slapped on the gate of the mansion. The servants were startled by him, and turned their heads to look, only to see a man with a pale face, his clothes crumpled and grinning at them, his lips were bright red and his teeth were white, and if it weren't for the daylight, they would really think that a stalemate had come out.

Annu recognized it at first sight and shouted, "Master! ”

The person who came was Mu Qing. The place where he and Li Qianyu were was very far away from Guizhou Mansion, and even Li Qianyu took him for a full night, and he didn't arrive until now. Yesterday was already drenched in the water, and when the night breeze blew, the look on Mu Qing's face was naturally not good-looking, and the clothes on his body were wrinkled badly, looking at the indescribable wolf bèi.

"Have you started the exam?"

Mu Qing's voice was a little low, and with his dress, the errand officer who was asked felt a chill in his back, and he was not in the mood to embarrass him: "It's not ...... yet."

"Okay, hurry up and check, if you delay the young master's exam, the young master will go to the government to sue you!"

Taking the bookcase handed over by Annu, Mu Qing raised his hand generously. Only then did those officers settle down to look at him and recognize that this was Mu Qing, with colorful expressions on their faces. After a hurried inspection, he let Mu Qing in, An Nu also breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to look at Lan Ruo, only to see that the person was standing under the tree, and the person opposite him was Li Qianyu.

He stepped up to go that way, but stopped the next moment.

Because, the man in white slowly raised his hand, and slapped the man in black in the face.

Li Qianyu looked at Lan Ruo, and his voice was deep: "Waste." ”
