Chapter 9 Celebration Banquet

Jiang Ling's nervous palms were full of sweat and shook his head.

"Honestly", Wang Quanlin pinched Jiang Ling's chin and warned with a smile: "The previous Mu Yun is dead, what should be said and what should not be said is weighed by yourself!" ”

Jiang Ling's face was pinched and deformed, and he looked at Wang Quanlin in horror.

"Hahaha......" Wang Quanlin shook his hand away and let out a burst of oozing laughter.

Jiang Ling couldn't care about the painful face, and lowered his head in panic, "My subordinates know, I don't dare to talk nonsense!" ”

"Go back, go back to Lin'an and tell Su Mu to retrieve the robber's head."

"That'...... The fold ......"

"I won't let him down!" After the words fell, Wang Quanlin sat back in front of the piano platform and plucked the strings, lingering like a pond in water, stirring up ripples......

The sound of the piano was diametrically opposed to Gangneung's mood, and he was frightened and retreated.

As soon as he turned around, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and rubbed his aching face.

Seeing his red and purple face, an attendant stepped forward and said with concern: "Deputy Envoy Jiang, what's the matter?" ”

"Nothing!" Gangneung didn't stop and went straight to the door.

The attendant followed up again, "Deputy Envoy Jiang is leaving?" ”

"Hmm!"

"You're just coming back and leaving, is the command causing them to get into some trouble?"

Jiang Ling really, this person kept honking, he glared at him impatiently, and warned: "Laifu, if you are talking too much, be careful that I pull out your tongue!" ”

Laifu immediately closed his lips and handed a water bladder to Gangneung.

He took the water bladder, raised his eyes and glanced at the words "Governor's Mansion", and then put his tongue on his hot cheeks.

"Gone!" After saying that, he slapped the horse's ass with a backhand.

A man, a horse, clattering hooves and his wistful sigh streaked across the long street of Shengjing and disappeared into the corner.

"Hiss!"

A horse barked, Jiang Ling quickly got off the horse, and collided with Song Zirui, who was driven out by the sound.

Jiangling is not tall, and his head is level with Song Zirui's nose.

"Ahh The two of them screamed at the same time, one covering his nose and the other covering his head.

"Hiss~ Zirui, what are you doing?"

Song Zirui, who raised his head, suddenly felt a smell of blood coming out of his nose, and he wiped his hand, and his hand was suddenly covered with blood.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Xia Yuyu jumped over the threshold and held Song Zirui with a frightened expression, "Why are you bleeding?" ”

"Ah, Zirui, you're bleeding!" Jiang Ling hurriedly handed over the handkerchief and stood on tiptoe to put on his face and care.

"Gangneung?" Xia Yuyu stared at him, incredulous, and asked, "Why did you come back so soon?" ”

"You think I'm as playful as you?" After that, he guiltily took out a white handkerchief and blocked it in front of Song Zirui's nose.

"You don't look at the dots when you walk?" Xia Yuyu said.

"It's okay, it's okay." Song Zirui waved his hand and said, "Su Mu and Master Lu are in the front hall. ”

Jiang Ling was unconvinced, and pouted at Mu Yun, and helped Song Zirui to the front hall with him.

Seeing the appearance of several people, Su Mu looked up and down, found that there were still blood stains on Song Zirui's mouth and nose, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's all his ......" Su Mu moved his gaze to Xia Yuyu with a sharp look, and he instantly regained a little dignified, "It's nothing, Zirui accidentally hit his nose." ”

Song Zirui also hurriedly shook off the two of them, and arched his hand: "Don't get in the way, it's Jiangling who is back." ”

Su Mu was still silent, with a look of "Am I blind?" I'm not going to be able to see such a big living person standing there."

"He's not blind." Jiang Ling muttered to Song Zirui in a low voice.

Lu Zixian got up and approached Jiangling with a look of expectation, and asked eagerly, "I don't know what the above says?" ”

"The Metropolitan Governor said that he won't disappoint everyone, but it's just ......" Jiang Ling and Su Mu looked at each other for a long time before they whispered: "You want us to hurry up and carry the robbers' heads back." ”

As soon as these words came out, several people looked at Lu Zixian in unison.

Lu Zixian was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "This is natural, as soon as the matter of the excerpt is settled, the head of the robber will be sent by himself." ”

Three days later

The people of the imperial court really came, and Lu Zixian, who had not received the holy decree a few times, wandered outside the county government with excitement and nervousness when he got the report.

As the sound of the carriage got closer and closer, Lu Zixian's legs trembled with excitement without knowing whether he was afraid.

"Lin'an Zhi County, Lu Zixian greets all of you!" The carriage was still a hundred paces away from him, and he knelt on the ground and shouted in a loud voice.

When the carriage approached, three or four hundred soldiers in armor behind him stood still in place.

A eunuch in his forties, jumped out of the carriage, completely ignoring Lu Zixian and his party, who knelt down to greet him.

"Jinyiwei commanded Su Mu, I have seen Gonggong Liu!" Su Mu led a few people to give a salute.

The eunuch didn't return the salute, but just said "um", and looked back and forth with contempt at the dilapidated county government, and the corners of his disgusted mouth were deflated into a downward bracket.

After a while, he took out a yellow handkerchief and shook it, covered his mouth and nose in disgust, and asked in a girlish manner, "Lu Zixian, where are you?" ”

"Lin'an Zhi County Lu Zixian saw his father-in-law!"

"Isn't it? Lord Lu is such an official, how can he give such a big courtesy to a minion? Xia Yuyu asked Song Zirui on the side in a low voice.

"Luan Ling" Song Zirui gave her a look.

Only then did Xia Yuyu find the small string of flat round luan bells above the scale.

"Even his handkerchief is a yellow silk given by the emperor." Song Zirui added.

Gonggong Liu cleared his throat, and the little eunuch on the side immediately served a bowl of tea in his hand.

He chirped, and then slowly took out the holy decree, "Lu Zi will take the decree first!" ”

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict"

"Today, there is a great drought in Lin'an, the people are suffering a lot, and I am deeply saddened by the disasters that have fallen from heaven."

"Order, Lin'an Zhi County Lu Zixian, according to the needs of Guangling, Jingkou, Gusu three places to prepare the name. Escorted by soldiers, sent to other counties to protect their livelihood. ”

"Chin this!"

"Lin'an Zhi County Lu Zixian bowed to thank the Holy Grace." Lu Zixian kowtowed three more times, and then raised his hand to take the holy decree.

Holding this heavy holy decree, Lu Zixian burst into tears.

"Master Lu, get up." Song Zirui hadn't helped him up yet.

Seeing that Gonggong Liu waved the yellow silk in his hand with a disgusted face, he said angrily: "Commander, you also accept the order!" ”

"Me?" Su Mu pointed at himself in horror.

The eunuch looked at it disdainfully, "Isn't there still a commander here?" ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Su Mu and his entourage immediately knelt in front of Gonggong Liu.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict"

"Within three days, the robbers will be arrested and the military rations will be recovered."

"Chin this!"

"Subordinate order!" Su Mu got up and took the holy decree.

"Yo, it's not early, and our family has to go back to resume our lives, so we won't chat with you." Gonggong Liu pointed to the guards behind him, "Lord Lu, they will send your people out of Lin'an." ”

After that, ignoring Su Mu and the others who saw him off behind him, he twisted his little buttocks proudly, and got into the carriage with the support of the little eunuch.

I'll rub it, this is for you to be proud, your ass is twisted into a circle!

Lin'an lacked everything except a vacant room, and Lu Zixian excitedly set up guards.

He even ran to scoop a few spoonfuls of rice and came back, gathering all his closest relatives, so that the deserted county government immediately had vitality.

Lu Zixian shook the old bones and played in the garden with three or five children, and the women in the kitchen were also very busy.

"Hehehehe......" Xia Yuyu couldn't help but laugh under the eaves when he saw his old bones dangling.

"Hey, look at that kid doesn't look like you! Hahaha......"

Su Mu glanced down at the hand pulling at his sleeve, "It's quite similar." ”

"Ouch, grandpa's waist, no, no, no, grandpa is old!" Lu Zixian, who was still playing, suddenly stopped, covered his waist, and waved at the children surrounding him.

"Master Lu, are you alright?" Su Mu held him up and asked with concern.

"It's okay, you go sit over there with me."

As soon as the words fell, the children did not agree, and shouted: "No, no, grandpa will play with us." ”

Lu Zixian looked at the children around him with embarrassment, and was a little reluctant to leave for a while.

Xia Yuyu's eyes rolled, isn't it just to play with children, what's so difficult about this.

"Come, listen to me, how about my sister playing eagle and catching chickens with you?"

"Good!"

But these four or five children were too few, and besides, there was still a lack of a hen, so she shouted outside the kitchen, "Gangneung, Gangneung." ”

Jiang Ling, who had been taking the opportunity to fish outside the kitchen, hurriedly pouted his fingers and replied, "What are you doing?" ”

"You're here to play games with us!"

"Not interested!"

Hmph, stinky Jiangling knows how to eat, I don't think you have heard the phrase "eat alone to have diarrhea".

"I'm coming!" Song Zirui's tall body appeared in front of Mu Yun, with a slight smile on his face.

If Su Mu is in the middle of winter, Song Zirui is the Mid-Autumn Festival, lukewarm and hot is just right, as for Jiangling, the four seasons do not belong to him, only two hundred and five are suitable for him!

"What do you want?" Song Zirui shook his hand in front of his eyes.

"I didn't ...... Didn't think about anything. Xia Yuyu smiled and arranged for the children, "I'm an eagle, this brother is a chicken woman, you are all chickens, understand?" ”

"Understood!"

"Okay, then you all hide behind Ji Po, and I'm going to arrest you."

Xia Yuyu pounced as he spoke, and the screams and laughter rang out.

Under the protection of Song Zirui, the children went back and forth for more than a dozen times until the meal, but she didn't succeed in any of them.

There wasn't much to spare on the table except for two large pots of boiled potatoes and the like.

However, this is already the best meal that several people have eaten in Lin'an.

Except for Su Mu and Lu Zixian, the rest of the people at the table seemed to be gobbling up their chopsticks, and they couldn't even bother to speak.

"It's so delicious, too!" Jiang Ling added another bowl as he spoke, looked at the two people who were moving the chopsticks in a blink of an eye, and asked, "Master Lu, why don't you eat Su Mu?" ”

"Deputy Envoy Jiang, please!" Lu Zixian said.

"Then you're welcome, hehe......"

Suddenly, Xia Yuyu felt that Venus was shining in his eyes, and the sky was spinning, as if he had become the center of the universe, and whatever he saw was revolving around him, and he didn't dare to open his eyes at all.

Oh, my God! Am I guilty of hypoglycemia?

With a "bang", she was stunned for a moment, shaking her head and seeing Jiangling lying on the ground in a daze.

Glancing around, except for Su Mu and Lu Zixian, who seemed to be still sitting, the others were either crawling on the table or lying on the ground.

The next second, she also crawled on the table.
