Chapter 52: Unsolved Mysteries
Originally, Mu Yan had already been burdened with the important task of welcoming and sending off the prince of Yunnan, and after sending the prince of Yunnan away, he had to rush to Jizhou to find out the truth, and he really couldn't delay everything.
When Mu Yan walked to the bedroom, Jiang Liyue's jade hand happened to be holding an embroidery needle and was embroidering the dark lines on his bedclothes, seeing that he was full of tiredness, she hurriedly put down the unfinished bedclothes in her hand: "Why is Lang Jun sad when he goes to the early court, but what tricky things have happened?" ”
Between the words, she took the jade pot and poured a cup of tea for Mu Yan, and pushed it in front of him: "Take a sip of hot tea to relieve the relief first, and you can talk to me slowly later." ”
Mu Yan propped his elbows on the table, supported his forehead with his hand, and soothed the slight stinging pain in his temples before he slowly spoke: "I did encounter a troublesome matter, but Madame doesn't need to worry, it's just that I need to go out in a few days, and the matter that promised you to take you to East Lake needs to be put on hold again." ”
Jiang Liyue blinked slowly, her expression calm: "Lang Jun doesn't have to feel indebted to me, if you really want to, you can take me there after Lang Jun finishes handling government affairs, but if Lang Jun really feels sorry for it now, why don't you take me to Nanhu Lake in the afternoon without taking a look, Nanjiang is close to Kyoto, but it is only half a stick of incense." ”
"Since coming to this Mu Mansion, I have been succumbing to my wife and me, is it my fault, since you want to go to Nanjiang first, I should naturally fulfill your wish, and I will order someone to prepare the carriage."
If Mu Yan can stay in the mansion in his free time, if he really calculates, there are really only two days left, and two days later, the prince of Yunnan will leave for Yuncheng, and he needs to bring elite soldiers to see him off, but fortunately, the prince of Yunnan is exempt from the company of the courtiers on this trip, and Mu Yan is idle for a while.
Yuanqing immediately prepared a spacious carriage after receiving the order, and after Mu Yan finished handling affairs in the mansion, he took Jiang Liyue out with him, and after the two of them boarded the carriage, they could really smell the noise of the Nanhu realm in just half a cup of tea.
Because the Nanjiang corridor is still narrow, can only allow people to walk in, Yuanqing found a spacious boundary parked the carriage and walked in, although the size of the South Lake is not as good as the East Lake, but the victory is on the side of the South Lake Wine Shops, and after the sky is completely dark, the South Lake area will begin to be noisy.
Mu Yan and Jiang Liyue went to the riverside at the same time, standing on one side of the blue brick ground, looking at the lake in front of which divides Kyoto into north and south, the breeze blowing on the lakeside, Jiang Liyue's few wisps of green silk hanging on her ears were blown up, she stretched out her hand to straighten it out, put her jade hand on the fence, and felt a little emotional: "In the past, when I was in the boudoir, my father and mother often didn't let me come to these places, and today I am grateful to Lang Jun for treating me to take a look at the scenery of this South Lake." ”
The moon is in the sky, the lake wind hunts, her clothes flutter and dance, late at night in late spring, the spring water in the original place is like a tide, surging over, just like a silver line and the moon comes.
The current spring water is very strange to her.
Mu Yan protected her by his side, put his free hand on the side of the railing, and asked, "The prince and princess never brought you here before?" ”
Jiang Liyue's expression on her face did not change, she raised her eyes to look at the spring water surging in front of her: "Naturally, how could my father and mother bring me to this complicated place, I only secretly followed my brother once when I came, and then I was found out by my brother halfway and stuffed into the carriage." ”
No wonder the little girl was able to follow her in the carriage and wade through the mountains and rivers to Jizhou.
Mu Yan looked at the spring water in front of him, and looked at the back for a long time before he spoke: "How could that Yue'er think of coming here with me today?" ”
Jiang Liyue puffed out her cheeks, withdrew her gaze to look at Chunshui, looked at him for a moment, and took the initiative to take Mu Yan's hand hanging by his side: "Lang Jun will know when he comes with me." ”
Mu Yan was pulled forward a few steps, and then paused slightly, and then walked towards the wall with her feet, although she remembered that she had changed into a light Luo skirt when she traveled at night, but now she was holding him with one hand, and the other hand seemed to be a little inconvenient for the Luo skirt on both sides, and when she stepped on the fifth step, she almost stepped on the Luo skirt, but fortunately, she reacted in time to stop her steps.
But because the movement was too big, Mu Yan had already realized the inconvenience of her wearing a Luo skirt, shook her head, and then took care of herself and lifted the Luo skirt on the other side for her from behind, and sure enough, Jiang Liyue's walking was much easier in the next moment.
The crescent moon bridge made of blue bricks is majestic and simple, and when she was still in the mansion last time, she only felt that the length of this bridge was endless, but now that she has walked with the Venerable Master once, she feels that the length of this bridge does not seem to be enough.
After the two walked for a long time, Jiang Liyue stopped and stood in the middle of the bridge, looked around carefully, and turned his head to Mu Yan on his side and said: "Everyone in the world says that when you look at this South Lake, you can see a different scene by the lake and when you look at the bridge, does Lang Jun think this is true?" ”
At night, there is an endless stream of people coming and going on the bridge, and the market on the side of the bridge is even more bustling.
After Mu Yan nodded, Jiang Liyue took a serious look at the bridge for a while, and then turned around and pulled Mu Yan to continue to the other side.
The two of them had just reached the north side of the lake, and there were several men dressed as attendants menacing, Mu Yan immediately guarded Jiang Liyue behind him with some vigilance, and then the attendant glanced at him, and walked forward without stopping for long, Jiang Liyue poked out half of his head from his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yan Lang is too nervous, people are probably just passing by, Yan Lang doesn't have to be on guard at any time." ”
"It's still very safe in Kyoto."
When Mu Yan was about to relax his vigilance after surveying the surroundings, a woman in a purple Luo skirt hurriedly arrived, stopped in front of him and looked at him, and said with a puzzled face: "Where do I seem to have seen Lang Jun, has Lang Jun ever been to Jingzhou?" ”
Mu Yan has always been wary of people he has never met, and when he saw a strange woman talking to him, he immediately took a step back vigilantly: "No, the girl is afraid that she has recognized the wrong person." ”
This is naturally true, Mu Yan has indeed never been to Jingzhou, and he wants to meet the girl in front of him Pingshui, and he has no front edge.
Jiang Liyue saw that the strange woman in front of Mu Yan had not answered, and poked out a pair of apricot eyes with a little curiosity, and looked around.
The woman in purple seems to be about the same age as her, but her facial features are very delicate, and her eyebrows are very vivid when she speaks, and their eyes are staggered in the air, and the woman in purple looks at her for a while, and she asks, "Who are you?" Why follow him? ”
It's really strange that when you go out shopping, you can encounter such an interesting thing, Jiang Liyue saw that the distance between the two was appropriate, so she simply leaned out from behind Mu Yan, and moved her steps to block in front of Mu Yan for a while: "I am naturally the wife of this Langjun, and I am afraid that the girl's behavior today is not in accordance with the rules." ”
The woman in purple smiled loudly when she heard this, and bowed, her face full of apologies: "The little woman is bothered, but I feel that Lang Jun is familiar, but since we met here today, the two of you may help me?" ”
At that time, her voice had just fallen, and there was a neighing sound of horses behind her, and when Jiang Liyue was about to speak, her eyes flickered, and a few more people came in front of her.
Mu Yan hurriedly escorted Jiang Liyue and took a few steps back, and finally stopped when his back was under the pavilion pillar, and Yuan Qing on his side saw that the situation was not right, and subconsciously lifted the unsheathed sword in his hand and placed it in front of the two of them.
Standing beside the woman in purple was a man who was also wearing a purple round-necked robe, with a beautiful figure, covering most of the woman in purple at once, and his eyes were slightly cold, and he felt that the person who came was not good at a glance.
How can such a blatant thief be provoked on the border of Kyoto? Jiang Liyue had never heard of this, but looking at the other camp, now her side seemed to be a little outnumbered, and she was a little worried for a while.
The purple-clothed girl on one side turned her head to look at the menacing man in front of her, and hurriedly pulled him away, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't scare others, I just think this son is familiar, and I said a few words, I wanted to have a good stroll in this market, but I didn't want you to come so quickly." ”
The man glanced at Mu Yan, lowered the hand that was holding the scabbard, and bowed again: "It's abrupt, Fang Cai Shemei avoided everyone in the mansion and came to this market, I was worried that she had an accident before catching up, and I thought that a few of you had a dispute and were in a hurry to meet you in a hurry." ”
Mu Yan saw that it was just a misunderstanding, so he made a gesture for Yuanqing to put down his sword, and responded with a faint smile on his face: "It's okay, but it's a bit dangerous for a woman to go out on the street alone late at night, if it is clarified that it is just a misunderstanding, I will continue to visit this market with my wife." ”
The atmosphere of the surrounding soldiers gradually dissipated, Mu Yan glanced at the group in front of him with a pleasant face, and then left with Jiang Liyue, and after walking a few steps away, he turned his head and asked, "Is that formation frightened?" As your Langjun, I should defend you against danger, how can you stand in front of me. ”
After Jiang Liyue returned to her soul, she hurriedly replied: "It's not that the girl's behavior is too inexplicable, I'm worried that Lang Jun alone will not be able to deal with the girl with evil intentions, but it is a misunderstanding." But it's strange to say, although the two of them are dressed ordinarily, I always feel that there is a mystery hidden in it. However, I know a thing or two about the daughters of large families in Kyoto, and I don't remember this face. ”
Mu Yan pondered while pulling her forward, and said with relief for a while: "Maybe it's just a coincidence, maybe it's from Jingzhou, just now that girl mentioned Jingzhou in her words, but I'm so old now, I really haven't been to Jingzhou, tonight's affairs Mrs. can just watch it as a farce, and you don't need to think about it in the future." ”
Although the clouds on his face were light and light, Yuanqing could follow Mu Yan for a long time, knowing that he had become vigilant, and Mu Yan obviously followed Jiang Liyue's side more closely along the way.
Although a few people looked at the good faces, but the heart of guarding against people is indispensable, if you go out of the house to play and go out of the fork, it is probably not easy to explain, so in the second half of the way, Yuanqing is more vigilant, and his hand is almost on the scabbard and does not leave.
In order to divert Jiang Liyue's attention, after walking forward for a while, Mu Yan saw that there were vendors selling Kong Ming lanterns next to the wine shop, and immediately stretched out his hand and pointed not far away, and said to Jiang Liyue: "I heard that I made a wish after putting Kong Ming lanterns in Nanhu Lake, do you want to give it a try?" ”
