Chapter 276: Successful Departure - Another Branch
It is said that Ling'er gave Emperor Hengqing an idea to let the waterway yamen in various places collect road and bridge tolls, and then use the silver for disaster relief. This method is very much in line with Emperor Hengqing's thoughts, which is not considered to increase taxes in the imperial court, but also famous. It was issued with a holy decree, and Emperor Hengqing suddenly felt refreshed, and Ling'er's eyes became more and more different.
"Back to the emperor, there is a prince outside who asks to see you, but the guards can't stop it, and they have already arrived outside the second gate." Xiao Maozi said seriously, but there was no panic on his face.
Ling'er and Emperor Hengqing glanced at each other, and it suddenly became clear in their hearts that no one had such courage except for that person. While speculating, Mu Chenfeng was already laughing loudly outside the door, "Little Maozi Boss, don't give this young master a dumb riddle, I forgot to bring objects when I left in a hurry today, you block me outside the door and don't blame you." But Ben Shao is mainly gone, and you may not be able to come back. ”
Xiao Maozi was still waiting for Emperor Hengqing to show him, Ling'er stepped in front of the door one step earlier, and shouted, "Who told you to go through the gate without bringing a token, hurry up and come in, the emperor is about to reward me with a royal meal, you can be regarded as catching up." ”
While speaking, Mu Chenfeng had already walked in with a folding fan, and Xiao Maozi retreated when he saw the situation, and hurriedly went to dinner.
Ling'er saw that Mu Chenfeng still looked chic and dignified, and couldn't figure out how he had just appeared when he had just arrived when he said goodbye to him and went back.
"The grass people see the emperor in the morning breeze." Mu Chenfeng clasped his hands into fists and saluted.
Emperor Hengqing was indispensable, and he met his old acquaintance in a foreign country, so naturally he was happy today, and he was in a happy mood at this moment, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Why should you and I have a friendship like this." On the contrary, it is divided, please take a seat. ”
Mu Chenfeng didn't sit down, took out something from his arms and handed it over. Emperor Hengqing took it apart and looked at it, and the expression on his face changed from shock to dragon face joy, and he was speechless for a while. Ling'er was standing behind him, and when he looked sideways, it turned out to be a silver ticket. It is expected that Xunyinlou must be a big deal, so that the relief of the victims and the repair of the embankment are much easier. The worries in my heart were unconsciously put down.
For a while, the food and drinks were put on the table. Emperor Hengqing asked the two to sit together. "I want to pay homage to the young master of this cup, people say that the icing on the cake is not as good as sending charcoal in the snow, and the gratitude cannot be said much, I drank it for the people." As the king of a country. Since he lowered his body to thank a cloth-clothed people. Emperor Hengqing can not be said to be a wise man. Ling'er looked at it from the side with deep emotion. Love and hate are intertwined, and for a while since I am obsessed with the past.
"Ling'er asked for me last time, and as soon as I returned to Beijing, I immediately issued a decree to grant the seal. Are you satisfied? Emperor Hengqing looked at Ling'er with a light smile.
Ling'er came back to her senses in a panic, and when she saw the smile on her face, she nodded hurriedly again and again, forgetting the rule that she should kneel down and thank you. Since he thinks that he has come all the way to get this favor, it is really ridiculous, no wonder people will do anything for the sake of power, it is really rich and powerful. But Ling'er only thought about these words, and turned her gaze to the wine glass in her hand. The small bone china cup is round and cute, and it feels a little warm in the palm of your hand.
Ling'er's performances were all seen by Mu Chenfeng, and he drank a few glasses with Emperor Hengqing, who was on the rise, and then got up to say goodbye. Emperor Hengqing knew that he was busy with the affairs of Xunyinlou, and he did not force him to stay, so the two said goodbye. When he sat back at the table, Emperor Hengqing was about to talk to Ling'er. Ran Ling'er still had the mind, only said that he had never rested all the way, and he had a headache, and he was going to go down to rest, so he also retreated.
Closing the door, Ling'er sat alone for a while, the things to be done now have been done, and he was only afraid of regenerating the details here. What's more, the reason why he escaped from the palace Emperor Hengqing still doesn't know, so it's better to get out as soon as possible. Thinking of this, I found pen and ink and pondered for a long time to write a poem:
First, it's best not to see each other, so that you don't fall in love.
Second, it's better not to know each other, so that you don't love each other.
Thirdly, it is better not to be accompanied, so that you do not owe each other.
Fourth, it is better not to cherish each other, so that you can not remember each other.
Fifth, it is better not to love each other, so that you can not abandon each other.
Sixth, it is better not to be relative, so that we can not meet.
Seventh, it is better not to be wrong, so that there is no loss.
Eighth, it is better not to allow each other, so that there can be no continuity.
Ninth, it is better not to depend on each other, so that they can not be together.
Tenth, it is better not to meet, so that we can not meet.
But if you have seen each other, you will know each other, and when you have not seen each other.
Ande and Jun are absolutely anon, and they are exempt from teaching life and death to be lovesick.
After writing it, he sighed, put the letter on the table, blew out the light, waited for the door to be quiet, and left with a light effort.
Ling'er left the post house where Emperor Hengqing temporarily stayed, and did not dare to slack off, so she rushed all the way to the capital. When I arrived at a dense forest, I was too tired to walk, and I thought that probably those guards couldn't catch up, so I stopped. At this moment, the night breeze was very cold, and in order not to be discovered when escaping, he did not bring any warm clothes, and he became more and more cold when the wind blew and could not sleep.
"Silly girl, since you don't know how to make a fire to keep warm, thanks to the fact that you are still a shrewd person, why have you forgotten such a simple method?" I don't know when, Mu Chenfeng walked out of the woods, still holding some wood in his arms. He threw it on the ground and lit it, but in a moment the fire was blazing.
Ling'er stretched out her hand to keep warm and said gratefully, "Where did I not think of this?" It's just alone, how dare you burn a fire to attract people, but at this time, you are not afraid. After speaking, he cheekily sat down beside Mu Chenfeng, and the loneliness just now disappeared without a trace in an instant.
After a night without saying anything, Ling'er woke up to find herself lying by the fire, covered with Mu Chenfeng's cloak. The burnt wood still has the sparkling fire, and the nose can smell some of the aroma of barbecue, and you know that you are in good luck.
"The pursuers are still five miles from here, if you don't want to run on an empty stomach, get up quickly."
Ling'er sat up stiffly, the beautiful fantasy just now suddenly came to naught, snatched a chicken leg in Mu Chenfeng's hand and ate it while walking.
Emperor Hengqing silently read the letter in his hand, and it was best not to see each other first. So you don't fall in love. Second. She came all the way to help me, wasn't it because she still had love for me? So what does this poem mean? Anxiety, hesitation, helplessness, and helplessness all came to my heart in an instant. If you don't want to see each other, if you don't want to know each other, why do you come to see me again, and after seeing and leaving, what did I do wrong? Even in the face of the furious waters of the Yellow River, Emperor Hengqing was never so helpless. He forced his composure and instructed Xiao Maozi, who was standing with his hands hanging down, "Send someone to find it, and find it within one day." Don't hurt it. ”
Poor Ling'er. Although she is different from the ordinary women of this dynasty, she is a daughter in the end, and now she has suffered a lot of suffering when she flees in fear. "Brother Mu, we've been gone for three days. There was not the slightest movement in the back. I'm afraid they didn't catch up and go back, right? ”
Mu Chenfeng looked at Ling'er funny. There were several dirt on her face, and her hair hadn't been combed in the past few days, and it was messy like a flower child. Look around. Pretended to be serious, pointed behind Ling'er and said, "That's not coming." ”
Ling'er was so frightened that she was about to run, when she suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Chenfeng's face, and she was so angry that she shook her hand and walked forward. In the past few days, I have been wronged in my heart, and I have no place to vent, but at this moment, I feel that the tears are like beads with broken threads, and they are falling down like beads. Frightened, Mu Chenfeng suddenly panicked, he used to laughing and scolding in the past, Ling'er had never been like this today, knowing that she was sad, he came to the front and said, "It's okay, the official road ahead, let's find a place to rest and then leave." ”
Hearing that she could finally take a breath, Ling'er stopped crying, but she ignored Mu Chenfeng and still rushed forward by herself. So the two arrived at a small shop before it was dark, and the outside of the store looked very pompous, with a tall gatehouse and a majestic signboard, with the book "Li's Restaurant". But when you enter the gate, you can't help laughing, there are only more than a dozen houses behind, each of which is not big, and next to the door is a small building with two floors at the bottom, for guests to eat.
Xiao Er saw that the two of them looked like dusty servants, so he came over and said, "You two are coming from afar at first glance, do you freshen up and eat, or do you want to take a sharp spot first and then rest?" ”
Ling'er knew that Xiao Er was too embarrassed to see her, so she hurriedly said: "I want two good guest rooms, freshen up and eat first, and you can quickly prepare more hot water and send it." ”
Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Hot water is naturally enough, but this guest room?" I won't tell you, the small shop is full of two Hongfu today, only one is left in the corner, fortunately, it is quite spacious, or you two will have some? ”
After listening to Xiao Er, Ling'er couldn't help muttering in her heart, and she had the heart to let Xiao Er think of a way again. But in the blink of an eye, Xiao Er looked like he couldn't stop it, knowing that there must be only one place within a hundred miles, otherwise where would he have the confidence to do this. Looking at Mu Chenfeng again, he looked completely obedient to the arrangement. With the temper of a boy like him, he can usually smash someone's restaurant if he is dissatisfied, but since he doesn't say a word today, Ling'er is even more angry.
"You freshen up first, I'll guard outside, isn't this better than living in two places?" Mu Chenfeng still didn't change his swinger appearance.
After Ling'er finished freshening up, the two entered the restaurant in front of them one after the other. At this time, it was time for dinner, and sure enough, as Xiao Er said, it was full, and the bottom was full of people. The two of them found a corner and sat down. Xiao Er didn't ask this time, and immediately sent the signature dishes in the store. After sleeping in the open for a few days, where will the two of them be picky at the moment, and they will eat in a hurry, so happy.
"I said big brother, that little girl is very stubborn, I think there is a mistake on the other road, it is better to clean it up as soon as possible, and it will also eliminate her thoughts, isn't it the best of both worlds?" There were more than a dozen big men sitting at the adjacent table, and at a glance they knew that they were mixed up on the road. Even if they eat, they all have guys on their bodies, which shows that they are all ruthless characters. Ling'er was eating energetically, and suddenly heard such a sentence, and couldn't help but listen carefully. She was still dressed as a white-faced scholar at this time, and Mu Chenfeng was so chic that the two of them couldn't see that they had kung fu, so they didn't attract the attention of others.
"Sixth, you are also a little impatient, the twisted melon is not sweet, the eldest brother said that he would give her to you as the wife of the main house, and he will never regret it, are you afraid that the cooked duck will fly?" One of them teased. The rest of the people laughed as they heard this. The old man blushed his face, and his beard covered his face with horizontal meat, making him look more and more hideous.
Ling'er looked disgusted, and guessed in her heart that she didn't know that it was the two women who suffered, and when she met this group of bandits, she couldn't help but itch her hands again.
"Eat well, eat enough to have strength." Mu Chenfeng made a pun and knocked on the table with chopsticks.
Ling'er smiled knowingly, it is enough to have this sentence, the young master of Xunyin Building is here, and something is uneven. He hurriedly lowered his head and continued to eat, but his eyes never left the table next to him, and when they finished eating, they hurriedly followed.
Seeing that the group of people scattered and went back to their rooms, Ling'er pretended to be passing and wandered back and forth a few times, completely unaware that a woman was locked inside. I couldn't help but feel depressed, and I couldn't go in and look for it one by one, how could this save people? I didn't find any news, so I could only go back to my room depressedly. saw that Mu Chenfeng had finished freshening up and was resting comfortably on the bed, and he didn't look like he was planning to save people.
"Hey, you're not going to die, are you? Why don't you go out and take a look, but the life of the girl is all in your hands? Ling'er was dissatisfied, and deliberately aggravated her tone.
Mu Chenfeng jumped up from the bed, paced slowly to the table, and picked up a glass of water, "Don't worry, they are veterans, how can you easily find out where the arrested person is hiding." But this young master has his own way, you have to wait and see. ”
Ling'er looked at him with a bamboo in his chest, and still had some doubts, and he searched a few times and found that he didn't find that he could show off his talents while lying on the bed without going out - he knew what was going on in the world? But it was useless to be anxious, she knew the character of this person, so she simply walked to the bedside, fell down with a 'plop', and rested for a while.
Mu Chenfeng looked at the person on the bed in amazement, she never thought that she was more comfortable than herself, where was the reserve that the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion should have?
Ling'er was really not asleep, and when she heard Mu Chenfeng opening the door, she hurriedly stood up and followed out. At this time, it was the third watch, and the surrounding guest rooms were full of snoring sounds, which were unusual and interesting. The two of them crouched on the roof, but after a moment's effort, they saw a dark figure bow out of a guest room in the middle and tiptoe towards a house facing north of the restaurant.
"Sixth, come back! Everyone you want to make trouble in the middle of the night is known, and don't forget that we have important things to do! A break came from one of the rooms, not loud, but the one named Lao Liu was really listening.
At this time, the sixth man was not advancing, nor was he retreating, so he stood alone for a while and had to go back to the room with his head drooped. (To be continued......)
