The sky was completely dark, Lu Rui hurriedly packed up the offerings, wiped away her tears and was about to leave, but she looked up and saw Yang Hao, her whole person seemed to be frozen, frozen there and couldn't move.

"Are you sacrificing to your relatives?" Yang Hao pointed to the incense candles in her basket,

"Yes, yes......" Lu Rui instantly lowered her head, she wanted to hide the incense candle behind her, but at this moment the blood in her body seemed to have solidified and frozen, and her hands and feet did not obey the call at all, seeing Lu Rui's panicked look, Yang Hao felt a little guilty in his heart, he held Lu Rui's round arm with both hands and asked, "Are you sacrificing your parents?" Lu Rui was a little surprised by what he said, she nodded, and said in a panic: "Actually, tomorrow is her death day......

"Why are you carrying me?" Yang Hao scolded softly, but his heart was uneasy, Lu Rui had been married to herself for so long, and she didn't even know the death date of her parents, she ran to this wilderness with her back to pay tribute to her parents, isn't it her own fault, when Lu Benzhong left Yongfeng safely, he offered her as a gift, so he has always despised her, and he is a little disgusted with her vanity and indifference, and he has not been as intimate to her as Qing'er and Xiaoyu, but after all, she is his wife, and she is an orphan without father and mother, I can't justify snubbing her so much,

Yang Hao wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, smiled and said, "It's human nature to pay tribute to your parents, why do you want to hide it from me." ”

Lu Rui lowered his head and said timidly: "My parents both died unexpectedly, and I was afraid that you would be taboo, so ...... I didn't dare to tell you. Seeing her poignant and earnest, low-brow and pleasing appearance, Yang Hao had indescribable love and pity in his heart.

He picked up Lu Rui's face, leaned over and kissed her ** spicy cheek, and said, "I don't care about this, I will accompany you to Fuguang Temple tomorrow to pay tribute to them, and you won't carry me behind my back in the future." ”

A crystal teardrop rolled down her cheek, her eyes were full of tears of emotion, it was futile to comfort her with words at this moment, Yang Hao leaned over and kissed her neck, and arched her collar to continue down,

Yang Hao's intimate movements warmed Lu Rui's cold heart, big tears rolled down the jade-like cheeks, and fell on Yang Hao's mouth salty and salty, Lu Rui under the cold moon and cold glow looked unusually delicate and moving, Yang Hao's movements became rough, he wanted to use his own fire to warm Lu Rui's body to dispel the coldness in her heart, he picked up Lu Rui, put her flat on a piece of soft dry grass, with deep love starting from her feet, kissed every inch of her whole body,

Lu Rui also responded to him warmly, this response was from the heart, from the initial resistance gradually turned into pandering, but Yang Hao could always feel that Lu Rui had a door hidden in his heart, an iron lock and a copper door, he couldn't find the key to unlock the lock, and he didn't want to smash the lock rashly, he looked forward to it, looked forward to Lu Rui being able to hand over the key by himself,

Yang Hao began to kiss Lu Rui's eyes, she dodged Yang Hao's fiery gaze, but this fiery aura soon wrapped her completely, making her unable to escape, so her hazy eyes no longer dodged, her tender arms wrapped around Yang Hao's sturdy back, she gritted her teeth and turned her heart sideways, and handed herself over completely, after the fusion of ice and fire, both of them turned into water, you have me, I have you, and they can no longer be separated.

When Yang Hao and Lu Rui strolled back to the town, it was already the second half of the night, there were two wind lanterns hanging in front of the door of the inn, Zhang Lang and Li Weiduan were sitting in the hall drinking tea and watching the night, seeing Yang Hao bringing Lu Rui in, both of them stood up, Yang Hao saw that Ji Hongtu was also there, so he said to Lu Rui: "You go back and rest first, I still have something to do." The tone was unprecedentedly gentle, Lu Rui nodded obediently, and reluctantly let go of Yang Hao's hand,

Ji Hongtu, who did not have an official position, reverted to the dress of a scholar, after this period of tempering, he has become more mature and steady, after sitting down, he did not take the initiative to speak, but waited for Yang Hao to speak,

"Did you go to town to see it?"

"After looking around, I remember that two years ago, there were only two tea sheds here, and I didn't expect that it had become a town in the blink of an eye." Ji Hongtu said with emotion,

"Yes, as long as you don't tie the hands and feet of the people, they will always do better than we planned, I came to you because I wanted you to be the mayor of this town, and my duty is to serve the people."

Ji Hongtu asked with some confusion for a while: "The students are ignorant and don't know what kind of service method 'serving the people' is, please make it clear to the adults." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Regard the people in the town as their food and clothing, be their housekeepers and nannies, repair bridges and roads for them, catch thieves at night, mediate disputes, and picket profiteers...... Speaking of it, it is the set that Li Zheng and the chief of the security department do, but Li Zheng is the people, he is in charge of the people on behalf of the official, and he also has to ask for the people's lives, you are the mayor of the town, and you are the siblings and eyes sent out by the government, not only to obey the officials, but also to serve the people on behalf of the officials, am I clear. ”

Ji Hongtu got up and replied: "The students understand, adults want students to lower their bodies and work diligently for the people, but also not to rely on their temperament everywhere, to take care of them and manage them. ”

Yang Hao was very satisfied with Ji Hongtu's answer, he nodded, got up and pushed open the window, glanced at the three forks in the night, turned back to Ji Hongtu and said: "Here is still a blank piece of paper, you have to draw a beautiful picture here, three or five years later, I hope to stand here and push the window to see the lights of thousands of homes." ”

After returning to Feng'an, Yang Hao presided over the review of the plan formulated by the General Staff Department to send troops to Qu Ze, the General Staff Department planned to take Yu Chongchong as the main general, Wang Qun, Huang Yiliang as the deputy general, and dispatched the four battalions of Tiger, Leopard, Breaking Waves, and Fengya to march to the west in late October, Yang Hao changed the main general to Zhuang Yunqing, Huang Yiliang replaced it with Gu Duoli, the Leopard Battalion was withdrawn, and replaced by the newly formed Weiyuan Battalion, the Weiyuan Battalion was adapted from the Barbarian Black Soldiers, and the unified army was Gu Duoli, Yang Hao smiled and said to Ling Tong: "Yu Chongchong's credit is already big enough, let him make a meritorious contribution, What shall I give him a reward? Ling Tong and everyone laughed, Ling Tong didn't know this truth, but he felt that it was more appropriate for Yang Hao to say this sentence himself.

Yang Hao said to Zhuang Yunqing and Huang Yiliang: "You each do your own thing, cooperate with each other, work closely together, and don't fall into the mouth." ”

Towards the end of the meeting, Mu Lanqing walked lightly behind Yang Hao and whispered in his ear: "Tang Ning is outside the door." ”

Tang Ning came to inform Yang Hao to participate in the faceless meeting of the Baoli Society held in Suzhou a month later, it has been three days since he came to Feng'an, first heard that Yang Hao went out to inspect military affairs, but he had no choice but to wait patiently, this day I heard that Yang Hao had returned home, and came to see him in a hurry, but he was blocked by Mu Lanqing and said that there was a meeting inside, Tang Ning held back the fire in his belly, and complained when he saw Yang Hao: "Now that he has been promoted, he looks down on his old friend." ”

Yang Hao smiled and said: "Where is it, I just came back, and I was about to change my clothes to see you, but I was blocked here by them, I heard that there will be a faceless meeting in Suzhou in a month, why did I run so far away." ”

Tang Ning sighed: "The above meaning, how dare I guess as an errand runner." Yang Hao saw his expression aggrieved, full of complaints, and smiled unconsciously, although Tang Ning was just a post envoy, but with the monopoly of the upper and lower traffic, life has been very nourishing, just Fengzhou gave him subsidies in various names a year, no less than three thousand taels of silver, plus several other places, Tang Ning earns more than 10,000 taels of silver a year, although it is impossible for all this money to fall into his pocket, but this income is enough to make those purple-robed adults in Chang'an City envious,

"Alas, it's hard." Seeing that Yang Hao didn't speak, Tang Ning provoked the conversation himself,

"Don't think too much, how to toss above, aren't the lives of the people below still taking care of."

"Cut." Tang Ning sighed disappreciatively, "Don't take this substitution as simplistic, this time it's a big mess." ”

Tang Ning couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart, he didn't wait for Yang Hao to ask, he said to himself: "The four societies almost didn't fight because of the prince's red face and thick neck because of the prince's troubles now. Tang Ning suppressed his voice when he said this, stretched his neck and put his mouth in Yang Hao's ear and said: "Yuanhe and Changqing are now wrapped up with King An and Concubine Yang, plotting to abolish the prince, Li'an King Li Rong is the emperor's younger brother, Yamato and Baoli are desperately trying to protect the prince, and the fight is inseparable, hey, you can't even imagine it, now we are the loser." Tang Ning clapped his hands with a look of chagrin,

The four major factions of the Thorn Horse Battalion were originally the strongest in the Yamato Society, but after the defeat of the "Manna Change", their strength plummeted, and now the Baoli Society is the only one among the four societies, which may be the reason why Tang Ning is annoyed,

"His Royal Highness King Guang has always been on the side of the prince, they looked in the way, so they joined forces to bombard, King Ying is now alone in the society, he is friendly with King An, in order to be able to stand still, he will definitely fall to the side of Yuanhe and Changqing, we are all relying on His Royal Highness King Guang to start our family, he will not stop if we don't kill us into a river of blood, you wait and see, there will definitely be people rolling down at the Suzhou faceless meeting."

Tang Ning said that these Yang Hao also got some clues from the newspaper sent by Zhang Cheng, the current emperor Li Ang only has two sons, Li Yong and Li Zongjian, and Li Zongjian, the king of Jiang, died young, at this time Li Ang only has one son left by the crown prince Li Yong, since the emperor, the battle for the harem has never stopped, every time it is a bloody contest between you and me, the bloody smell of "manna change" has not yet dissipated, and there is infighting in the Daming Palace.

"It's going to be infighting again......" Yang Hao smiled bitterly, "Let them make trouble, Lao Tzu won't wait this time." ”

Tang Ning saw Yang Hao's appearance that he didn't care about himself, and his heart suddenly became angry, he knocked on the table and said viciously: "Don't think that you can stay out of the matter if you hide in Fengzhou, what does he mean when he meets you in Xiazhou, he ignores you when he is in power, and what does it mean to be promoted to a knight before leaving, you want to stay out of the matter, unless you cut off your arms and be a waste." Speaking of this, Tang Ning added with a hideous face: "I'm afraid that you won't die well." ”

Yang Hao was very confused by what he said, and asked a little overwhelmed: "What about then, according to your opinion." ”

A sinister sneer appeared on the corner of Tang Ning's mouth: "While he is not on his feet, squeeze him out." ”
