The morning sun shone through the living room, casting a bright beam of light in the slightly dim hall. The crane-shaped incense burners erected on both sides of the door are lifelike and simple and elegant. Curling green smoke rose from the censer and diffused in the beams of light that shone into the room, changing shapes.

The room was quiet and you could hear a pin drop. Only the Miao family elder who sat in two rows, lowered his head, occasionally raised his head, and secretly glanced at Lord Zhizhou, who was sitting on the main seat, but his eyes were blank.

However, there are also disgusts.

After all, the Yizhou Miao family has been bullied by the official master for many years. The villagers live a hard life, with no clothes and no food. Now, seeing this culprit, my heart is naturally not very happy!

Although, it is said that this official has just arrived.

But so what? The world is as black as a crow. These elders basically sneered at these officials and masters.

After a while, Zhang Wenshan, who was sitting on the main seat, put down the teacup, lowered his head, looked at these Miao family leaders with different expressions, smiled slightly, and said: "Everyone, I want to tell you one thing when I invite you leaders to come today!" ”

Under the seat, these Miao leaders, after hearing the voice of Lord Zhizhou, put down the tea cup in their hands and listened with their ears.

Zhang Wenshan didn't care about the fake deference of these people. After all, the contradictions between the Miao and Han ethnic groups have been around for a long time. If you want to resolve it, it will not happen overnight.

After he took a sip of the teacup, he looked at these people and said with a smile: "You Miao are the leaders of other ethnic groups in Yizhou. It plays a pivotal role in Yizhou! ”

The people below, when they heard this official say these words that didn't hurt or itch, they all had smiling expressions on their faces. They coughed, clenched their fists in unison, and echoed at will, praising the official for his insightful eyes and discerning everything.

However, the look on that face was mostly disdainful.

Zhang Wenshan didn't care, he smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, glanced at these people lightly, and said casually: "Since you are the leader, the official also hopes that your Miao family can play a good leading role among other ethnic groups." Don't incite others to oppose the government, the court or anything at every turn! ...... like this"

Zhang Wenshan put down the teacup, raised his eyes, and after glancing at these people, he saw that when they heard his words, they all changed color. A fidgeting look. Zhang Wenshan smiled, his fingers lightly knocked on the table, frowned, seemed to be very dissatisfied, smiled and said to himself: "This is very bad!" ”

"What do you mean, sir?" Elder Ye Dan stood up with a slurp, with trepidation and uneasiness in his tone, looked at Zhang Wenshan, and asked with a frown.

Zhang Wenshan raised his head and glanced at him, smiled slightly, and waved his hand, stopping him from continuing to ask questions.

Then, Zhang Wenshan smiled, looked at these restless Miao people very kindly, and suddenly said with a smile: "Of course, don't worry. Last year, the imperial court had already made a conclusion on the rebellion in Yizhou. Everyone, none of them had anything to do with that! ”

And Lu Heng, who had been sitting on the side, was about to drink tea when he looked at Zhang Wenshan, the old man, and even coaxed and deceited. I was happy in my heart, and I couldn't help but shake my head funny.

Oh, this stick and carrot is an immutable truth! No matter whenever, where, or what occasion, you can use it!

It's just that, inadvertently, when he picked up the teacup, Lu Heng suddenly saw the thin figure sitting in the left row, behind the white-bearded old man, who had been lowering his head.

Keenly saw this delicate figure, where it seemed to be trying to suppress his emotions. But the slight trembling body showed how nervous he was in his heart.

Seeing this familiar figure, Lu Heng's heart was shocked. Put down the teacup and just stare at him so burningly.

How can it be so similar?

And just when Lu Heng stared at the lower figure with a low head, all the Miao family leaders in the seat, including Ye Dan, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they heard Lord Zhizhou say this.

They secretly lifted their sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads. I was relieved.

"Thank you, sir, for your foresight!" Ye Dan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, clenched his fist at Lord Zhizhou, and the smile on his face finally looked better. "I don't know, what instructions do you have for me to come here?"

Zhang Wenshan glanced at the Miao family elders under the seat, and saw that their attitudes had changed significantly, and it was obvious that they were much friendlier.

After smiling, he turned around and ordered the black-clothed warrior beside him to bring tea. After taking a sip, he smashed his mouth, and then got to the point: "Heh, please come today." As soon as it comes, it's what the official said above. I hope that you can abide by the laws of the Great Zhou and never do anything that will affect others. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Wenshan's tone paused slightly. Quietly watch the reactions of these people.

When I saw them bow their heads, as if they were thinking about something. Zhang Wenshan smiled and continued: "This second is naturally for the life of the people of our Miao Township!" ”

"You may not know that at the beginning of this year, the Holy Lord issued an edict ordering the officials of Yizhou to persuade farmers and farmers here to cultivate water conservancy. Moreover, His Majesty sympathizes with the hardships of the Miao family members. It was decided to exempt the Miao relatives from forced labor and taxes for three years! When these Miao family leaders were still stunned, Zhang Wenshan threw out another bombshell.

As soon as the words came out, all four were shocked!

"My lord, what you said is true?" Elder Ye Dan couldn't pretend anymore, he stood up hurriedly, and looked at Zhang Wenshan with anticipation in his eyes. He asked with a trembling voice.

"Of course, you don't have any jokes. Even if this official has great courage, he will not dare to falsely proclaim the holy decree! Zhang Wenshan smiled, looked at the white-bearded old man who had an extraordinary status in the Miao family, nodded, and said confidently.

After receiving Lord Zhizhou's affirmative words, Elder Ye Dan's old face suddenly flushed with excitement, he turned his head, his eyes were full of tears and he looked at the thin young man behind him who was dressed in coarse cloth and kept his head down, trembling all over, and was about to kneel down as he spoke.

"Holy ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Elder Ye Dan suddenly saw this young man raise his head, glaring at him with a look of disgust in his eyes.

Elder Ye Dan's heart suddenly woke up, and he secretly turned his head and glanced at the scholar who was sitting next to Lord Zhizhou, talking to Lord Zhizhou in a low voice. Scales fall from one's eyes.

The old man hurriedly changed his words, coughed and said, "Shengfan, you, you, hurry back and tell the villagers the good news!" ”

Turning his head away, he stole a look. The scholar seemed to have sensed something, and had already stood up and walked towards here.

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the young man with a wry smile, his eyes full of helplessness. This man is terrible. He just said one wrong word, and he knew everything.

Just now, when he heard the white-bearded old man say the word saint, Lu Heng, who was extremely bored in his heart, was suddenly struck by lightning. His body shook violently, and he suddenly turned his head, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes, and he quietly looked at the thin young man beside the white-bearded old man.

Oh, it's really her! Lu Heng's steps were a little heavy, looking at this familiar shadow, he took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked over with difficulty.

He quietly looked at this thin young man with his head down, not daring to look at him. With a hint of tremor in his tone, he asked, "You, your name is Shengfan?" ”

Just when he walked in front of this thin young man, Lu Heng was very keen to see this thin young man dressed in a short beat, and his body began to tremble sharply. She lowered her head, her breathing becoming more and more rapid. The pair of small hands in front of him tightly grabbed the corners of his clothes.

Seeing this thin young man, he showed such a familiar movement. Lu Heng didn't understand in his heart.

"White, Bai Gongzi ......!" Lu Heng was happy in his heart, and his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, and it was difficult to calm down. He stepped forward and reached out to grasp the young man's hand.

"Ugh. The adult ......, "Seeing this scholar, he is so rude and bold. In front of so many people, he pestered the holy aunt. Elder Ye Dan immediately jumped out and blocked in front of Lu Heng.

However, because I don't know Lu Heng's true identity. He didn't know what to call it. It's just that since I entered the door, I saw that the scholar had been sitting next to Lord Zhizhou, and the relationship between the two was really as the Holy Aunt said, it was not the same. After thinking about it in his heart, Ye Dan decided to call him an adult.

Ye Dan coughed, stubbornly stubborn, and said to this scholar with an extremely mysterious identity: "This adult, you have recognized the wrong person." The old decay's subordinate is surnamed Sheng, not Bai! ”

Lu Heng didn't seem to see the white-bearded old man in front of him, he just quietly looked at the white boy who was standing in front of him and within reach. "Xiangyang farewell, Bai Gongzi, you, are you okay?" Lu Heng took a deep breath, looked at the young man in front of him with fiery eyes, and asked in a trembling voice.

Hearing this familiar voice, Bai Suyan, who was disguised as a man, couldn't hold back any longer. She raised her head, and her misty eyes were full of tears to look at the familiar face in front of her. Inadvertently, my eyes were already stained with tears.

"Bai Gongzi!"

Seeing the woman's familiar face, Lu Heng could no longer bear the longing in his heart. He took a deep breath, stepped forward, looked at Bai Gongzi with sincerity in his eyes, and asked softly: "Bai Gongzi, I have liked you for a long, long, long time!" Can you lend me your hand and let me take it! ”

In his words, there was a hint of uneasiness. It's like life is as shy and pure as the first sight.

Bai Suyan raised his head, tears flickering in his misty eyes. She bit her lip tightly and looked at the scholar's fiery and sincere gaze. Gently closed his eyes, nodded, and two lines of tears flowed down.

Lu Heng stretched out his trembling hand and gently stretched out in front of the woman. Quietly held the woman, the show hand that tugged at the corner of the clothes.

At the moment when she was held by the scholar, the woman could no longer bear the sorrow in her heart for so many years. remembered the resolute and ruthless gaze of the scholar when he was in Xiangyang. The woman raised her little fist hatefully, smashed it on the scholar's chest, and cried: "You, so ruthless! ”

"I'm sorry!" Lu Heng slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed the woman's waist, and gently took her into his arms, with great apologies. whispered in the woman's ear.

Hearing this, the woman's body trembled slightly, and she gently leaned into his chest. Silent, just shaking his head slightly.

In the bright morning light that shone into the room. A tear slipped down her pretty face, which had been much clearer. Reflecting the colorful light .......
