The twenty-fifth festival today is the Little Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is rare for Nanning City to have a light snow. Snowflakes fluttered and landed on the courtyard wall, making a rustling sound. Wu Ming got up early in the morning, practiced light kung fu on the courtyard wall with the soldiers of the guard battalion, and then answered some difficult questions about martial arts for some soldiers. In the past two days, Wu Ming has been getting up early and greedy for darkness almost every day, getting up early in the morning, exercising light body kung fu with all the soldiers, and being familiar with Yang Xiong's newly choreographed pace and battle formation during the day. In the evening, I would like to read a book.

After all this, the sky is already bright. Yang Xiong shouted to disband, everyone giggled, grabbed their clothes, and was about to leave the practice ground, Wu Ming grabbed the thin silk clothes, and walked out with all the soldiers laughing and scolding all the way, just stepped out of the practice room, he couldn't help but stop. I saw Xiaobi dressed in green, standing under the eaves, snorting white, and stomping her feet from the cold. She was holding a cotton coat in her hand, and when she saw Wu Ming and the others coming out, her face turned red, she mustered up the courage to walk over in small steps, stretched out her hands and handed it to Wu Ming: "My lord, it's so cold, you better add some clothes." ”

After the warrior reached the third stage, he was already able to resist the cold. And on the seventh stage, the true qi of the whole body is released, and the condensation qi is formed, which can automatically form a shield, not to mention that the cold and heat will not invade, but the impact of the weather on the martial artist is minimal.

Wu Ming wanted to excuse himself, but when he saw that the other party's small hands were red from the cold, his heart softened, so he had to reach out and take it, and said, "Thank you, Xiaobi." The warriors beside him burst into laughter. Wu Ming's old face flushed, and he didn't know what to do, when he knew that Xiaobi suddenly raised his head and said loudly: "Now that the princess is not here, I take care of my family, it is only right, what's so funny." She has been staying in the house that everyone has cleaned up for him for the past few days, giving people a weak image, and everyone is stunned, as if they did not expect her to say such fierce words. The warriors were silent, and after a while, there was another good-natured laugh.

Wu Ming couldn't cry or laugh, what Xiaobi said also had her truth, he and Xuanyuan Ling now have a marriage contract, according to the customs of the Eastern Han Dynasty, she, the personal maid, will also come with her. It's just that I didn't expect to see that the other party was soft and weak, but in private, he had a straight temper. It's just that now I can't even accept Xuanyuan Ling's feelings, not to mention Xiaobi, thinking of this, I feel even bigger than a fight.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, Tao Yu must be lonely now. As Xuanyuan Ling's personal maid, Xiaobi must also know Xuanyuan Ling's sister-in-law, why didn't she send Xiaobi to Tao Yu and solve the current trouble, which is killing two birds with one stone. Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "Xiaobi, Niangniang is now pregnant with a dragon, it is a little inconvenient for you to stay here with me after all, why not go to accompany Niangniang, and also do your part for Xiaoling." ”

He said this in a high-sounding manner, Xiaobi was stunned, looked at Wu Ming, and after a long while, he bit his lip and nodded: "One qiē is at the mercy of the adult's arrangement." ”

After solving this matter, Wu Ming only felt that a big stone had been placed in his heart, and as soon as he finished breakfast, a soldier ran in from outside and said loudly: "My lord, a carriage was parked outside, saying that the Governor's Mansion asked you to have something." ”

It's almost the New Year, what's the matter with Zhu Huai looking for me? The New Year here is not very different from that on the earth, and it is generally not allowed to trouble others during the New Year's holidays. Zhu Huai hasn't looked for himself for so many days, it seems that there is really something urgent, but the other party is looking for me, what is the matter?

However, he originally wanted to send Xiaobi to Tao Yu today, and the other party had a carriage to pick him up, so he also stopped by. He nodded and replied, "You go and tell the other party, I'll be right away." The warrior answered, and withdrew.

Xiaobi's room was not far from Wu Ming's residence, and when Wu Ming went to look for her, he saw her sitting on the bed in a daze, with a sad face. He coughed and walked inside. Xiaobi was taken aback, calmed down, and saw that it was Wu Ming, so she hurriedly got up from the bed, bowed, and then said softly: "My lord." ”

Wu Ming said: "Today, I wish the governor just happened to find me something, and the carriage was also on the way, so you can go with me, and I can send you to Niangniang by the way, so that I can also feel at ease." Xiaobi's face changed, as if she wanted to say something, but she still nodded.

When the two of them went out, they saw the carriage parked at the door, and a person standing on the carriage was trying to look in, Wu Ming looked fixedly, but it was Steward Hu. He was suddenly startled, ran to the carriage in a few steps, and saluted: "Let Hu Lao wait for a long time." "The relationship between Steward Hu and Zhu Huai is not a secret in Nanning. Wu Ming has been in Nanning for a while, and naturally he knows it. Steward Hu jumped out of the car, a smile bloomed on his wrinkled face, and said, "Lord Wu is really busy. ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Xiaobi, was slightly surprised, frowned, and said, "Who is this?" ”

Wu Ming said: "This girl is Xiaobi, the personal maid of Princess Mengling, and now that the princess is missing, she can only stay in Nanning temporarily." It's just that it's inconvenient to live here, but today Hu Lao came, and he just sent her to Niangniang, so that Niangniang could have more companions. ”

Steward Hu somehow seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and continued, "I see. ”

The carriage traveled all the way, and after a while, it arrived at Tao Yu's palace. The palace where Tao Yu lives now is the residence of the Eastern Han Dynasty emperor in the south, also known as the temple of sending children. Legend has it that this temple was only built by a monk of the temple before, after all, the ability of a monk is limited, when the temple was first formed, this temple was also dilapidated, overgrown with weeds, no one cared about, so it was nicknamed the broken temple by the locals. Seeing this, the governor of Jiangnan at that time felt that it was really disturbing the scenery around the governor's palace. even had the idea of destroying the temple, but Empress Zheng, Gaozu's wife, changed her temperament greatly after the founding of the country, but she believed in Buddhism very much. Somehow, the matter of this relocation reached the ears of Empress Zheng, and the word was passed down in person, and this temple could not be moved.

Later, I learned that this temple was built by the eminent monk Huayuan of the temple at the behest of Empress Zheng. In this case, the governor also has an extra mind, and builds on the basis of the original dilapidated temple, which is the original form of the current Songzi Temple.

Coincidentally, in the spring of the second year, in order to stabilize people's hearts, Gaozu went south to patrol and hunt, and Empress Zheng happened to accompany him. Nanning, as a large city in the south, has naturally become an important foothold for this southern tour. That night, Empress Zheng refused to stay in the palace, and only wished to repay her vows in the Broken Temple. Fortunately, this dilapidated temple has been repaired by the governor of Jiangnan, and it is not unbearable to live in.

Early the next morning, Empress Zheng said to Gao Zu that she dreamed of a phoenix soaring in the Nine Heavens last night, and then inexplicably burrowed into her stomach. At that time, Gao Zu was already a grandmaster, and the martial arts had reached the peak of the realm, so he naturally scoffed at these fantasy things. When I heard it, I just smiled and didn't take it to heart. I know that soon after the two returned to Kyoto, the imperial doctor diagnosed it, and the queen mother was happy.

Gaozu fought all his life, and at this time, he and Empress Zheng were close to knowing the Mandate of Heaven. Naturally, I was happy to get this news. So he ordered to build this temple again, because the dilapidated temple was indecent after all, and the edict was renamed the temple of sending children. Later, after several additions, it finally became a large-scale garden with a magnificent scale and elegant and chic, and later the royal family of the Eastern Han Dynasty simply moved the Nanning Palace here. Now Tao Yu is pregnant with a dragon and lives here, which is also suitable for the situation.

When the carriage arrived at the Songzi Temple, he saw two eunuchs standing at the door from a distance. Wu Ming stepped forward to report his identity, and the eunuch naturally didn't dare to be sloppy, so he bowed and said with a flattering smile: "Lord Wu come with me." Wu Ming confessed to Steward Hu, and then took Xiaobi to follow. The eunuch led the two of them all the way in, cautious all the way, and didn't even dare to take a breath.

Most of these eunuchs used to be on duty in the Songzi Temple, and generally speaking, at most, they ended up in the old and dead palace. This time Tao Yu settled in the palace, and it is even possible to build a palace here, for them, it is naturally a godsend, I just hope to be able to talk to someone, and then it is okay to jump into the dragon gate and be an internal affairs manager or something. Wu Ming didn't care about him, all the way was just the scenery along the way, although it was winter now, but these courtyards were full of plums, blooming in the wind, with this light snow, there was a lot of fun.

Tao Yu's dormitory is located in the innermost layer of the Songzi Temple, which is a three-entry quadrangle. This is the original site of the Ruined Temple. As far as the eye can see, the blue bricks and tiles, the eaves and beast kisses, the ridge and the treasure top, the carved beams and painted buildings, and the vermilion lacquer columns. Except for the gilded bronze statue under the eaves, it is really impossible to find the appearance of a temple. The eunuch confessed to Wu Ming and said, "Master Wu, wait a minute, I'll go first to tell Niangniang." ”

Wu Ming nodded, and the eunuch went in for a while before coming out, and said, "Niangniang said, I invite Miss Xiaobi." The tone of his speech was also a little surprised, probably because Tao Yu used the word "please" in his tone, which made him a little unsure of Xiaobi's identity, and after finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at Xiaobi several times.

Now Tao Yu is definitely inconvenient to welcome and send her, and even Wu Ming wants to see her, which is quite taboo. He turned his head, looked at Xiao Bi and said, "You accompany her here first, I won't go in." ”

Xiaobi nodded, bit her lip and said, "I know, Master Wu, you should be careful." After speaking, under the leadership of the eunuch, he turned back and walked inside. When she was about to reach the door, she turned her head and suddenly said: "Uncle, I am a weak woman, I really have no ability, staying by your side can only be a drag, it's just a matter of the princess, I hope you can take it to heart, Xiaobi please." After speaking, he stood at the door and knelt down towards Wu Mingyingying. It's just that there is a layer of mist in his eyes.

When he came out of the palace, Wu Ming only felt that his heart was also heavy. After returning to Nanning, he has been worried about He Yi. I almost forgot about Xuanyuan Ling. "The dead are gone, and the living are like this." Putting aside his and Xuanyuan Ling's unclear marriage, for the sake of the prince's face, he had to think about finding her first.

It's just, where is Xuanyuan Ling? Did Li Tie catch her? He thought, and couldn't help but look up at the sky. The sky was gray, with only sporadic light snow falling from the sky and falling in the courtyard. The plum blossoms in the yard are in full bloom, and the snowflakes fall and hang on them, white and misty, and I don't know how much is snow and how much is flower.
