Just a glimpse, Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun were dumbfounded. Not only the two of them, but also one or two of the errand servants inadvertently swept the woman's face, and they all gave souls to them.

They had never seen such a beautiful woman, and even if all the words in their wombs were added together, they probably couldn't accurately describe what it was like at that moment. Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun have been in the sea for a long time, even though they are only low-level petty officials, but their vision is not low. Especially Lu Xingyun, suave and suave, is a frequent visitor among the flowers, claims to have read countless women in his life, and even has seen many women who are naturally beautiful and even known as flowers and moons, but no one has ever been able to give him such a heavy blow in his heart. He searched in his mind for a long time, and suddenly thought of the word "beauty of the country", which seemed to be worthy of his evaluation of that woman.

If beauty is not enough to shake the heartstrings of Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun, then, for a moment, the noble temperament exuded by that woman is something that ordinary women can't imitate - it is a kind of natural nobility, not fearful, but respectful.

The words of the mouth were about to come out, but as soon as the woman said so softly, the middle-aged man standing at the door shut up, immediately changed his face, bowed down and said: "Quarrel until the third lady makes a vow, and the old slave is guilty of death." The change in attitude is faster than Guo Mingtao and others imagined.

"It's okay, the wish has been repaid, and the mother's entrustment has been done." The woman spoke very slowly, but it did not give people a sense of weakness, but it was clear and powerful, and it sounded very comfortable in a straight and round official language.

Seeing that the middle-aged man couldn't stop nodding his head, Lu Xingyun took the opportunity to rush forward and said loudly: "This lady, this temple is not opened by your family, why can't we live if you can live there?" ”

The woman did not reply to Lu Xingyun, but turned to the middle-aged man: "Uncle Zhong, what's going on?" ”

The middle-aged man replied respectfully: "These two are on an errand in Xi'an Mansion, and they want to stay in the temple." The body of the three ladies and daughters, how can they live with idle people, it is neither safe nor compliant. ”

The woman hesitated for a moment, but asked, "Shall we stay here tonight?" ”

The middle-aged man replied, "Exactly, it's getting late, and it's not safe to walk at night." Please forgive me. ”

The woman nodded and said, "It's all arranged by Uncle Zhong." However, since these are all from the government, it is not appropriate to force them out. Dad once said that we should be better to be an official, and those who are an official will be better to us. ”

The middle-aged man was still hesitant, and Lu Xingyun couldn't help but say, "This lady, you are not very old, and your tone is not small. What do you think of us as officials? ”

The voice fell, and the middle-aged man first reprimanded: "Shut up, the county lord is also a casual inquiry?" ”

"County Lord?" Lu Xingyun's face was stunned, and he glanced at Guo Mingtao. The six servants also looked at each other.

Facing them, the middle-aged man raised his head again, and said with a smug face: "You have heard clearly, this is the lord of Huaqing County in the Rui Mansion of Hanzhong, and today the surrogate mother came to this Jade Emperor Temple to make a vow." Remind you that if you take a good measure in your words and offend the county lord, you will offend the king of Rui; If you offend King Rui, hum, that is to offend the saint today. ”

Ruiwang Zhu Changhao is the half-brother of Chongzhen's father, Mingguangzong Zhu Changluo, who became a vassal during the Apocalypse, because of his close blood relationship with Wanli, Taichang, Tianqi and Chongzhen, he has always been deeply favored. Among the kings, it is also a powerful vassal in the forefront. To say that offending him is to offend Chongzhen, which is not too much at all.

Lu Xingyun secretly scolded this loyal uncle in his heart, but he had to put on a smiling face. The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, not to mention the steward in the emperor's uncle's mansion today. If they say the wrong thing and stab them in Xi'an Mansion, then their career in this life will come to an end.

When Guo Mingtao heard that he was the county lord, he was in awe, his sleeves were shaken, and he bowed and said: "I don't know that the county lord is here, and there is a lot of offense in front of his head, please ask the county lord Haihan."

The county lord of Huaqing also returned the salute, said two polite words, and then said to the loyal uncle next to him: "On the other side are the humerus pillars of the imperial court, not only the imperial court, but even we rely on them to protect us to be safe." If we want to let them live in the temple, what reason do we have to drive them away? ”

Uncle Zhong obviously listened to the words of the county lord of Huaqing, and said in a loud voice: "The villain can save it!" ”

Lu Xingyun saw that this Huaqing county lord was quite good at being a person, so he also saluted: "Don't worry, the county lord accidentally woke up the county lord with a fart in the middle of the night, and I won't go back and get out of the temple." ”

Guo Mingtao scolded secretly: "A good scholar, how come he is full of, pee and fart all day long, and it is a joke when it comes to Xi'an, see how the military gate cleans you up!" ”

Na Zhongbo's face was unhappy when he heard his presumptuous words, but the county lord of Huaqing "giggled" and said, "You are an interesting person. "Hearing her say that, there was not much trouble.

As soon as the county lord of Huaqing spoke, the people under his hands had no opinions, and Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun were able to enter the temple. Lu Xingyun never forgot the appearance of the county lord, and wanted to see him again, but since he entered the temple gate, the county lord of Huaqing was surrounded by people and didn't know where he went.

Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun were in the same room, and when he saw his lost soul, his heart was bright, and he said to him while eating: "People are the county lords of the Rui Domain, don't make a wrong decision." One misstep becomes a thousand years of hatred, and you won't be able to fish it out when the time comes. ”

Lu Xingyun chewed the rice, and whined in his mouth: "The food is tasteless, the food is tasteless." When he swallowed the food, he couldn't help sighing, "You say, how can there be such a beautiful woman in this world?" In my opinion, the fairy girl in the sky descends to earth, and that's it. ”

Guo Mingtao stretched out his index finger and said "shh This Huaqing county lord has golden branches and jade leaves, growing out of the honey pot, the skin is jade, and the eyes are drilled, how can a vulgar person like you and me climb high. ”

Lu Xingyun was very melancholy, and said with a sad face: "This Huaqing county lord is not very old, maybe he is not married yet." You say, what kind of man can be worthy of her? ”

Guo Mingtao also sighed: "Rui Wang's family business is huge, and he is the closest relative of today's saint, the county lord is the pearl in his palm, and he is afraid that it will be difficult to find, but he must be a young handsome man from a big family." Speaking of this, he didn't forget to joke, "You are neither young nor handsome, let alone a big family, I advise you to die of this heart." ”

Lu Xingyun sneered: "Isn't this still suitable for you?" ”

Guo Mingtao raised his head and said: "I am self-aware, unlike you, the toad wants to eat swan meat." ”

The two fought for a while, and the fatigue of the day hit their bodies, and they couldn't help it, so they went to bed to rest after washing.

Lu Xingyun thought about the county lord of Huaqing, lay down on the bed, but his spirit was bright, he couldn't fall asleep thinking nonsense, and he didn't know how long it took, Guo Mingtao's snoring sounded, and he began to get confused slightly.

In the dream, there seemed to be a figure slowly approaching him. He was confused, and as soon as he raised his hand, the breeze blew, and there was also a silky lightness on his face. It seems to be the curtain of the county lord of Huaqing, and under that scene, there is that delicate face. Lu Xingyun stretched out his hand eagerly, wanting to lift the curtain and take a look at his face, but another gust of wind blew his hand away, and at the same time, it also blew the white-clothed Huaqing County Lord farther and farther away......

Lu Xingyun woke up suddenly, and it was not until he found that it was pitch black in front of him, and only a little moonlight spilled into the house through the cracks in the doors and windows, and he sighed and realized that he was dreaming.

Maybe it was because of the heat, or maybe it was because of the dream, his front and back were covered with sweat, and it was uncomfortable to lie on the bed. Listening to Guo Mingtao's snoring not far away, he muttered "dead ghost" in a low voice, and at the same time quietly got up, wanting to pour some tea to quench his thirst.

Half of the water was poured, and the afterglow suddenly brightened, and Lu Xingyun looked along the past, and was surprised to see that the direction of the temple gate in the west was as bright as day, and it was because many people were holding torches.

Who's where at this late?

Lu Xingyun had no time to drink any more water, and walked to wake up Guo Mingtao in his sleep. Guo Mingtao rubbed his eyes, confused, and was also shocked after seeing the bright western sky.

"What's the matter?" Guo Mingtao asked for directions calmly.

Lu Xingyun shook his head and said, "I don't know." Let's get dressed and go out and have a look. ”

The two of them were getting dressed, and suddenly they heard someone shouting from the side: "The host kills people, the host kills people!" Xiang Gu was stunned, and then stepped up. When they went out, they found that the entire Jade Emperor Temple was in a tumultuous and shaky manner, and the monks were running around like headless flies, and they were already in chaos.

Guo and Lu met the six messengers who also heard the news in the courtyard, grabbed a passing monk and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The monk cried and said, "The third senior brother killed the master, and there are thieves outside the temple!" ”

"Huh?" Lu Xingyun opened his mouth wide in disbelief, and Guo Mingtao gasped. With a slight relaxation of his hand, the monk ran away in a panic.

Several people couldn't figure out the situation, standing in place at a loss, at this time, one person was admitted to the hospital and shouted: "A few come with me, protect the county master!" "Look up, it's the arrogant uncle. But looking at him now, he has to be distracted, and his expression is extremely nervous.

Guo Mingtao ran over to support Uncle Zhong and asked urgently, "What's wrong in the temple?" I heard that the host died? ”

Uncle Zhong gritted his teeth and said: "I saw that the monk didn't look like a good person, but it turned out to be a thief's den, not only murdering the master, but also going out to the thief." In his mouth, "that monk" and "master" should have heard "three senior brothers" and "host" just now.

Knowing the outline of the matter, Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun had a little bottom, and continued to ask: "How many rogues came?" How is the county lord? ”

Zhongbo pulled them and said, "There are a large number of rogues, and now there are a total of twenty monks in the temple and my people here blocking the door, you follow me to protect the county lord." As he spoke, he secretly rejoiced in his heart that the county lord had behaved appropriately during the day. If these people are not allowed to come in, there will be eight new troops in vain.

Guo Mingtao would not retreat from the battle, Lu Xingyun heard that he was protecting the county lord, and he took the lead, but instead pulled the loyal uncle and shouted: "Take us to the county lord!" ”

The excitement of the two of them does not mean that the six officers under him also want to fight the rogue. At the moment, two of them stammered, and they showed a look of fear and resistance. Guo Mingtao just wanted to open his mouth to persuade, but Uncle Zhongji stepped forward, slashed the two servants neatly one by one, and spitted: "Who else doesn't want to go?" "The action is so fast, it's hard to imagine that this is the technique of a man of the age who knows the destiny of heaven.

Sure enough, it was the people under King Rui, who were decisive and did not drag their feet. Although Guo Mingtao was quite dissatisfied with Zhongbo's hot hands, these six errand servants were also allocated by the Hanzhong Mansion, and if he wanted to rely on the prestige of King Rui, it was not easy to get a good future, so he also pressed his worries. Lu Xingyun was impressed by this middle-aged man, thinking that he was just a mud leg of a dog fighting people, and he didn't want to take it seriously.

Uncle Zhong saw that the two of them were different, and sighed: "The old man also made a living of licking blood on the knife in his early years, which is not enough. The situation is urgent, and a few people have already made up their minds. ”

In front of the blood test, how could anyone dare to say a word, so everyone followed Zhongbo and rushed all the way to the location of the county lord of Huaqing.

The Jade Emperor Temple is quite large, Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun observed on the road, only to find that there is a hole in it, the residence of the lord of Huaqing is very quiet and difficult to find, and even a small garden is specially opened up in front of the house, which is quite a bit of style. But if you want to come back, this temple was originally funded by King Rui and vigorously supported, and it is reasonable to preside over the return of peach and Li, and to build a separate courtyard for them in the Rui Domain.

When everyone arrived, there were already seven or eight families in the courtyard guarding there. Lu Xingyun glanced at it and found that the county lord of Huaqing was standing not far away, with two personal maidservants waiting beside him. It's a pity that the county lord of Huaqing is still wearing a curtain, and Lu Xingyun's expectations are once again disappointed.

Zhongbo went up in three steps and two steps, and said to her: "Three ladies, people have been brought." ”

Guo Mingtao listened, secretly surprised, it turned out that the idea of looking for a few of himself in his busy schedule was not thought up by Uncle Zhong, but by this county lord who seemed to be ignorant of the world. Then I heard the pleasant voice of the county lord of Huaqing: "Okay, how is the battle situation at the gate now?" ”

Uncle Zhong said angrily: "That thief monk has been planning for a long time, just to take advantage of the people in our Rui Domain's mansion to do things like chickens and dogs. There are no less than five hundred thieves outside the hospital, but fortunately, the temple gate is controlled by us, and there is no danger for a while! ”

Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun both knew that Uncle Zhong was exaggerating in order to stabilize people's hearts, and there were only twenty people at the door, plus everyone here was less than fifty. There are hundreds of rogues, and no matter how you count them, there is no chance of winning. Thinking that they might die tonight under this sudden change, Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun, who were not mentally prepared, couldn't help but panic.

"Uncle Zhong, is there a secret path in this temple, which can lead to the outside of the temple?" The voice of the county lord of Huaqing trembled slightly, and he sounded a little panicked. But Guo Mingtao and Lu Xingyun were still shocked when they heard it. Thinking that his two big men are facing such an urgent moment, they will inevitably be in chaos, and this seemingly delicate little county lord can still control his emotions and calm down to think of a way to get out. originally thought that this county lord was pampered, but he was afraid that everything here would have to be taken care of by the old loyal uncle, but now he realized that he would bow down to this little county lord who was several rounds younger than himself, and it was not just because of the identity of the other party.

"The old slave has asked carefully on the road, except for the main gate and the two side gates, there is no other way...... Zhong Bo replied truthfully, "the two side gates are blocked, and the gate is full of rogues, and it is impossible to pass." ”

The county lord of Huaqing pondered for a moment, and then said: "Now the rogues are gathered at the gate, and the wind and waves are calm here. You see that the wall behind you is broken, so it is better to combine the strength of everyone, tear down this wall, and sneak away, maybe there is still a chance. ”

Guo Mingtao, Lu Xingyun and even Zhongbo are conceited and knowledgeable, knowledgeable, and experienced, and at this time, the speed of ideas is completely unable to catch up with a cowardly little county lord. Lu Xingyun peeked at the Huaqing County Lord standing opposite, and was secretly speechless.
