In the chrysanthemum garden, flowers bloom in the wind and are fragrant.

Under the sun of early winter, or red and gorgeous, or delicate yellow eyes, the chrysanthemums stand proudly in the cold wind, and the whole yard is decorated with gorgeous colors.

The cold morning breeze blows, and the chrysanthemums in the garden are full of bright colors, like ocean waves, slightly undulating. The delicate petals of the flower flutter in the wind, fly over the garden, and finally float down. On the ground, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the red mud is everywhere.

Although all around, there are smiling tourists. But Xiao Zhiyuan's mood couldn't get any better.

His eyes were full of viciousness, staring at the scholar at the gate of the garden, gritting his teeth, eager to go up and eat his flesh and cramp his tendons.

Shameless!

He spat the ground, gritted his teeth and scolded the scholar who was standing in the distance, laughing with a woman.

Just over a month ago, this person swore that he and Miss Tingzhi had nothing to do.

However, in the past few days, rumors about the affair between him and Miss Tingzhi have become more and more intense.

Earlier, he was a little skeptical. In the spirit of going to find out, I went to the Qinhuai River and inquired about the news in a tea stall.

As a result, after sitting there for a whole day and drinking more than a dozen pots of tea, what I heard was, in addition to the rumors that the Su Liu family had been wiped out, that is, about the fact that Miss Wang had been defiled by that beast.

Looking at those idle and lazy people, with their chests open on a cold day, with a silver face, Miss Wang and Lu Heng's romantic affairs. Xiao Zhiyuan, who was furious at that time, took the case.

Of course, in the end, because he was outnumbered, and, in a panic, he couldn't find a breakthrough route. was surrounded by three or five big men in the tea stall and beaten hard.

After limping home, he thought that at this moment, maybe Miss Tingzhi was in the dark room with the well-dressed beast.

Xiao Zhiyuan, who was upset and angry in his heart, his eyes were dark, and he fainted on the spot.

Afterwards, he hated Lu Heng more and more.

In the past few days, he has thought about it several times, going to the Lu family's courtyard in person, questioning Lu Heng, and then humiliating him fiercely. It's just that Xiao Zhiyuan, who was unlucky, was glared back by several murderous warriors before he reached the door of the alley.

Of course, once, he managed to enter the alley leading to the Lu family's courtyard. At that time, it was dark and there was silence all around. Only in the night sky, the shining stars are shining. At the end of the alley, the osmanthus tree in the night, like a fierce yaksha, stands there, making people feel a little frightened.

At that time, Xiao Zhiyuan was carrying a lantern and moving forward sneakily.

Just as he was approaching the gate of the Lu family's small courtyard, suddenly, a cold blade behind him caught the back of his heart.

Xiao Zhiyuan was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, his lower body was incontinent on the spot, and the hot liquid stayed along the trouser tube.

He opened his mouth several times, but found that his tongue, as if it had been cut by the cold blade, could not say a word.

However, just when he thought that his surname was whimpering, he felt a sharp pain in the stamina. Then, it was dark again.

When he woke up, he found himself back at the small tea stall where he had been beaten up.

And, as in the previous encounter. Three or five shirtless men were standing tall in front of him with their arms crossed, staring at him condescendingly. The face is full of horizontal meat, shaking and shaking, and it is hideous.

"Brothers, go up!" With a big man, with a wave of his hand. Three or five big men rushed up.

So, for a while, the bench and the table flew together, and the fists flew together.

The owner of the teahouse sat on the side with a frown, looking at Xiao Zhiyuan, who was surrounded by three or five big men in the center and screaming miserably, while calculating the damaged property.

Wait until the big men stretch their waists and leave with their mouths slammed into contentment.

The shopkeeper put down the teacup, got up slowly, walked to Xiao Zhiyuan, who was bruised on his face, and handed over a list of belongings with a smile.

…… At this time, Xiao Zhiyuan, who had gone through hardships, finally met Lu Heng in this Qixia Ancient Temple.

As the so-called enemies are extremely red when they meet, Xiao Zhiyuan stared at Lu Heng with red eyes, his fists clenched, and his teeth creaked.

Beside him, the passers-by couldn't help but look sideways when they heard the sound similar to the grinding teeth of rats.

I saw a scholar in a purple robe, standing in place, his fists clenched, and the green tendons on his forehead were exposed. His eyes were bloodshot and he was staring ahead.

The pedestrians suddenly realized, oh, what about the exercises!

So, everyone gathered around with a smile and asked Xiao Zhiyuan what kind of exercises he was practicing.

As more and more people gathered around him, the view was gradually blocked. Xiao Zhiyuan raised his head, and when he looked again, he found that Lu Heng and the woman were gone.

Under the anxiety and turmoil in his heart, he also did not care about maintaining the humble demeanor of a gentleman. He yelled at the crowd around him: "Get out! ”

This roar, something is wrong.

The people around them, who were still smiling, suddenly changed color after hearing this very unfriendly greeting.

"You scholar, how can you talk like that?" In the crowd, some people were not very cheerful and asked in a non-yin and yang manner.

"That's what my son said, what are you going to do?" Xiao Zhiyuan was angry, no matter who it was, he turned around and replied viciously.

When I turned my head, I saw that the one who mocked me was a black-faced man in civilian clothes. Xiao Zhiyuan seemed to remember what happened a few days ago, and a trace of fear arose in his heart.

Helpless, there are a lot of people around. He can't show too much.

Mencius said, mighty and unyielding.

As soon as he read the books of the sages, how could he be frightened by a martial artist in broad daylight.

So, Xiao Zhiyuan took a deep breath, raised his head bravely, and stared fiercely at the black-faced man in a short fight.

However, it is obvious that the Han Dynasty has not read Mencius, and it is estimated that he does not even know who Mencius is.

Seeing that this scholar dared to pout at himself, the big man's smile was neither yin nor yang, and he immediately put it away. With a black face, he strode over with clenched fists.

"You, what do you want to do? I, I am the Great Zhou Jinshi. You, aren't you afraid of being beheaded? Xiao Zhiyuan pointed at the big man who came over, and obviously lacked confidence to threaten.

"You are the Great Zhou Jinshi, and Lao Tzu is the martial champion!" The black-faced man, his fists creaked, he laughed cruelly, grabbed Xiao Zhiyuan's neckline, and punched him all over the door.

With a bang, Xiao Zhiyuan's face suddenly splashed with blood.

Xiao Zhiyuan screamed, and a white front tooth roared out, fell into the flowers with a whoosh, and disappeared.

"Brothers, go up!" The black-faced man waved his hand, and the onlookers rushed up, using both fists and feet.

Suddenly, the fists and feet flew again.

Xiao Zhiyuan, who was huddled on the ground with his head in his hands, finally thought in his heart, how could he think that this big man was so familiar. It turned out that he was the one who took the lead in beating himself twice last time.

After throwing an old fist to Xiao Zhiyuan, the black-faced man stopped the group beating of the surrounding crowd. He shook his fist, grabbed Xiao Zhiyuan, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and said viciously: "Damn, there will be bright spots in the future!" There are people you can't afford to mess with! ”

After throwing Xiao Zhiyuan to the ground, the black-faced man stretched his waist, twisted his neck, and turned to face the opposite side of the garden where thousands of flowers were beautiful, and a burly man wearing the clothes of a guard of Ning Wangfu stretched out his thumb.

The other party smiled and nodded in satisfaction.

…… Among the flowers, the gorgeousness is extraordinary. The rising sun sprinkled ten thousand golden rays, covering the chrysanthemums blooming in the wind in the garden with a layer of blurry gold.

On the clusters of flowers, the crystal dew rolled down the petals, and the delicate petals trembled gently. Under the sun's rays, the dewdrops are like pearls, reflecting the psychedelic colorful light.

The breeze blows, and the colorful petals flutter with the wind.

Among the flying petals, the scholar slowly walked in this fairyland-like sea of flowers, and the pale cyan robe on his body merged with the delicate flowers in the garden.

A stunning woman in a blue long dress, her face is captivating, and she is full of charming style.

At this time, this stunning woman, with a face like a spring peach blossom and a smile on the corner of her eyebrows, gently accompanied the scholar.

While strolling in this sea of colorful and dancing flowers, the two of them talked and laughed about some things.

Talented and beautiful women, I have heard of them before, but I only thought it was a joke made by those literati students who had nothing to do. I never thought that when I saw it today, it was really exciting!

Tsk, Lu Gongzi and the county lord are really a natural pair!

In a corner of the garden, Wang Wu, who was hidden in the corner, was lying on the garden wall, his head sticking into the small hole in the wall, looking through the rain of flowers flying in front of him, looking at the talented and beautiful woman walking slowly in front of him in this flying color, and couldn't help but admire.

"Brother Wang, what are you looking at, let me wait and see!" On Wang Wu's side, a group of guards from King Ning's Mansion who had just participated in the siege of Xiao Zhiyuan were all huddled together, and their eyes were full of interest as they looked at Wang Wu, who was smashing his mouth and talking to himself, and asked.

"What to see, what to see! Okay, hurry up and go back to patrol Lao Tzu! Wang Wu jumped down from the wall, reached out to wipe the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at his guards with a serious face.

The guards rolled their eyes, muttered, and turned away.

After Wang Wu saw that the guards had returned to their respective places, he smiled, stood on tiptoe again, and glanced through the small hole, and saw that Lu Gongzi and the county lord had already sat down in a pavilion, so he withdrew his gaze and returned to the closed arch.

Behind him, on the closed arch, hung a wooden sign with a few big words written on the wooden row: "Idlers do not enter!" In the garden, Lu Heng was still surprised, how could there be no one in this flourishing garden.

However, when he casually glanced back, he suddenly saw Wang Wu's thief's head in the small hole in the wall.

After a little thought, I understood what was going on.

While laughing in his heart, he felt a headache because he owed Wu Ningyuan a favor again. "Uncle!" Thinking about these things in his heart, Liu Qingqing's slightly sad voice came from his ears.

Lu Heng retracted his gaze, turned his head and saw Liu Qingqing bowing his head with a sad expression, and his face was full of helpless wry smiles.

I suddenly got angry inexplicably.

With a smile in his heart, he forced a calm look, looked at Liu Qingqing with a sincere face, and asked with a smile, "What's the matter?" ”

Liu Qingqing raised her hand and wiped away the tears on her face. turned his head and smiled at Lu Hengyan.

"Uncle, concubine, concubine can't marry uncle!"

Liu Qingqing said with a smile, but tears flowed down her beautiful eyes.

In the morning light, on her pretty cheeks, two lines of clear tears, glittering.
