Chapter 41: Entering the Moon Shadow Palace Alone
When he saw Duan Lang again the next day, his face was already radiant.
Lu Li didn't take it seriously in his heart, and when he turned his head, he had almost forgotten about Taixue.
Knowing that she had found a fun object in the bazaar and was about to share it with Shangguan Yinling, when she saw that his room was neatly tied, the words of that day suddenly flashed in her mind, and she panicked and rushed out of the door.
They wouldn't be gone, would they?
She ran back to the mansion in a panic, and saw that Duan Lang was sitting under the mirror, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master came just in time, come and see, this official has made a new discovery."
Lu Li stepped forward and saw that he was looking at a map of Dujing, so he was not interested, and turned around to leave.
"Oh, you bastard, don't be in a hurry, take a closer look, what's on my picture?"
Lu Li looked down and hastily looked at it, except for the dense streets, neat buildings, and the surrounding moats and mountains, there was nothing else.
"Lu Li, do you know how many people are in the capital now?" Duan Lang asked like this, seeing Lu Li's puzzled look, he couldn't help but ask himself, "Do you know how many places near Yingzhou were famine a few years ago?" At that time, in order to make a living, the people in the vicinity all went north, moved to Dujing and along the way, which is also the biggest reason for the explosion of the population of Dujing, Dujing is now the richest city in the world, as long as I use my brain, I can earn money bags to support the explosion. ”
Duan Lang said this, but he quietly observed the change in Lu Li's expression, and sure enough, she slowly raised a trace of interest from her indifference at the beginning.
What Lord Shangguan said was indeed right, she was really concerned about the population transfer of the corresponding state.
Pity him, a friend of Lu Li for many years, but he can't compare to Shangguan Yinling, a first acquaintance who has only known Lu Li for more than 20 days.
"By the way, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you." Duan Lang suddenly raised his head, as if he had thought of something, "Yizhou was not lightly affected by the disaster this time, it is rumored in the rivers and lakes that the Moon Shadow Palace, which originally settled in Yizhou, is going to move the palace to Yingzhou this time, and you will be in Yingzhou in the future, I am afraid that you will have to mediate the contradictions between the public and the people of the Moon Shadow Palace from time to time, it is really hard." ”
Sure enough, as soon as he heard the words "Moon Shadow Palace", Lu Li's expression froze, and his expression became unnatural.
This Lord Shangguan is really like a god, God counts! How did he know about the Mustard Moon Shadow Palace?
He didn't know about it.
Lu Li stood there for a while, and suddenly remembered something and looked at Duan Lang.
"Where's Lord Shangguan? Why didn't you see anyone else in the morning? ”
"Don't you know? Lord Shangguan left for Yizhou early in the morning, saying that there was something to find Lu Chenghe to bring back......
Before Duan Lang finished speaking, Lu Li had already turned around and ran out, led a horse, and chased after him along the southbound road.
He really went to find Lu Cheng and fetch the jade pendant. She didn't even take it to heart, but she didn't expect him to remember it.
As soon as the land was hot, he quickly whipped up his horse and hurried to Yizhou.
At this moment, the Moon Shadow Palace is also leaderless, the palace master Lu Chenghe has been drinking decadently every day since he came back from Yingzhou a few days ago, and often lingers in the flower streets and willow alleys, and the palace affairs are not asked, and the secret attendants do not dare to reveal what happened, and the group can only be anxious.
Try it, Lu Chenghe went to the mass graves in Yingzhou, the mass graves a few years ago are now green mountains, and the people who were buried here before have long disappeared, replaced by mountains full of grass.
Although he was not sure whether the descendants of the Lu family died here, just looking at the grass on this mountain, as long as he thought that the descendants of the Lu family might be exposed to the corpses here for the beasts to eat, his heart ached.
Blame him, if he hadn't stolen the bun back then, he wouldn't have been separated from his sister.
For so many years, he has been looking for traces of his sister all the time, he thought that he would be able to find his sister if he found the family heirloom jade pendant, but although the jade pendant was in his hands, his sister was lost.
In the Moon Shadow Palace, Lu Chenghe was drunk again and collapsed on the palace master's seat, and a carrier pigeon flew in from outside the hall and landed in his hand, he took out a note from the bamboo tube on the pigeon's feet, and unfolded it into a few words.
"Shangguan Yinling and his helpers will enter Taixue, and I hope that Your Excellency will not enter Taixue in the near future to balance Shangguan Yinling's side."
"Hongyan, how many things have the deity helped you with over the years, but you haven't investigated the deity's sister." Lu Chenghe casually threw the letter paper into the brazier at his feet, and with a wave of his hand, the carrier pigeon flew away, "Now don't you treat the deity as those lackeys around you at will?" ”
What kind of place is Taixue, why did he go to a place where the imperial court restricts a group of children of a gentleman's family?
At this time, outside the Moon Shadow Palace, Shangguan Yinling grabbed the reins of the horse, and the horse took a few steps on the spot and stopped in front of the steps under the main entrance.
When the palace guards saw that someone was visiting, they asked for their names.
"Who's coming?"
"I'm tired of reporting to the Lu Palace Master, and Shangguan Yinling asks to see him."
The man turned around and went in to report, Shangguan Yuling waited in front of the door for a while, and the man quickly came back and opened the door.
"Shangguan Shaoxia, our palace master is invited."
Shangguan Yinling followed the man into the main gate, in the middle of the main gate is a fairly wide playground, it is expected that there are brothers who practice here, and then go inside, inside is the main hall of the Moon Shadow Palace, the man led him to the outside of the main hall and retreated, he stepped into the main hall gate by himself.
"Rare guest, just now someone from below came to report that it was Lord Shangguan who was visiting, and the deity thought that he had misheard the name, but he didn't expect that it was really Lord Shangguan who came." Lu Chenghe sat on the top of the main hall, with a faint smile in his eyebrows and eyes, as soon as Shangguan Ling stepped into the main hall, the strong smell of wine filled his nose, he frowned slightly, and still hugged his fists with full courtesy.
"Palace Master Lu, this time I took the liberty of disturbing, there is really something that needs to be retrieved from the palace master's hands, this thing has been with that person for several years, and I hope that the palace master will cut his love."
"Is this what Lord Shangguan said?" Lu Chenghe took out the jade pendant from his arms, and his expression darkened.
This thing was given to the kid by his sister, and the kid has been properly collected for so many years, and even the first time of life and death did not reveal its origin, but first made up a lie to hide it, the two wanted to love each other, this is the sister's jade pendant, and it is nothing to give it to her beloved.
But there are no things that have been taken from him for free.
"Lord Shangguan can get this thing back if he wants, as long as you can win against me today." Lu Chenghe put away the jade pendant, with a bit of excitement in his expression, "Last time, I couldn't have fun with Lord Shangguan outside Baozhou City, so it's better to divide the victory and defeat today." ”
After a while, the two of them had already raised their swords and stood on the playground outside the main hall, and many palace people from the Moon Shadow Palace were watching next to the playground, all of whom applauded Lu Cheng and clapped their hands.
The sword momentum was together, and both of them used ten percent of their internal force to raise their swords and stab at each other.
