Dongyi City is slowly lively, the people who survived the disaster cheered up and began to rebuild their homes, and the streets began to be swept out one after another to restore the peace and tranquility of the past.

"Dongyi City, in the end, is still full of devastation and comes back to life."

However, there was no one with her side, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke, "Little sir, are you talking to me?" ”

Little Mister?

Bu Tong chuckled,

"Why do you call me that?"

The title of "sir" is generally not shouted, if it is not for the people who teach and persuade people to be kind, then at least it must be an elder who is respected by most people.

Bu Tong felt a cramp in his heart, as if he had returned to the last day of his previous life, January knelt in front of him covered in blood and said hoarsely, "Mr. Big, let's go, leave the green mountains in the ......"

January's voice was covered by January's ear, "Miss has done great deeds with immeasurable merits and saved countless people whose lives are like mustards, everyone respects you 'little sir', January naturally has to shout like this." ”

Butong smiled and walked forward,

"What's the use of being famous?"

An old man on the corner of the street, guarding the small stall next to him with a cane, but attracted the attention of Butong, it is a thriving stall, blessing characters, knots, accessories, paper-cutting, Spring Festival couplets......

The dazzling and vivid colors remind people that the New Year is coming, and this battered city is also about to usher in the farewell of the old and welcome the new.

"It's beautiful."

The old man's cloudy eyes looked at Butong for a while, and then he staggered up, "Mo, Mo, isn't it a little gentleman from Kyoto City?" ”

As he spoke, he staggered and was about to kneel, but Bu Tong hurriedly stepped forward to support him.

"Old man, don't be so polite, I can't stand it."

Tears flashed in the old man's eyes, and his mouth couldn't help but tremble, "Thank you Mr. Xiao for saving your life, we know that you are the county lord of Kyoto City, and you are even willing to come to this 'dead city' for us ordinary people, how can we ask Mr. Xiao to do this." ”

Why, everyone is reflecting on their own "how can he be", he brought the formula of Pudilan powder from modern times to save chickenpox, but he was respected by everyone, and the people should be attached to the country, but they were so "flattered" after surviving.

Butong had mixed feelings, and after a few words of greeting, he was about to leave.

The old man didn't follow, and dragged Butong desperately, "It's hard for the little gentleman to come out, what small objects do you like, and the little old man has a light on his face." ”

Thinking that he didn't bring money with him when he went out this time, Bu Tong had to refuse, which attracted more people, and finally, when Bu Tong staggered back to the gate of the mansion, he was carrying two large piles of things in his hands, and there were two pieces of fabric in his armpits.

"Is our young lady going to rob the merchants?" Chun Tao and Chang'an were boiling water in the yard, and they couldn't help but complain when they saw Butong coming in.

Bu Tong was crazy, "Why don't you come here and continue." ”

Chun Tao and the two hurriedly stepped forward and took the items in Butong's hand, "Baked cakes, preserved fruits, mugwort leaves, dusters...... There's also a blessing knot, what kind of mess is this. Chun Tao stuffed a preserved fruit into his mouth, pinched a duster in his hand and looked up.

Bu Tong finally breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his sore wrist,

"It's all given by the people on the street, and if I refuse, I cry and make trouble, but I'm tired to death."

Bu Tong's breath had not subsided, Shi Qing ran out in a hurry, "Miss Bu, my Royal Highness is gone, and Lord Tang also went out of the city early in the morning to patrol and was not there, what can I do?" ”

It's gone?

Bu Tong looked at the orderly and busy medical officer and Jinyi Guard, and saw that he was about to return to Kyoto City, Mu Hesheng would not have any accidents, if he didn't even bring Shi Qing, then there would be only one place.

Butong waved his hand,

"Shi Qing, what are you doing? I know where His Highness has gone, so I will go and look for him and come back, so that you can take good care of the sick here, and you will be able to return to Kyoto in seven or eight days. ”

Everyone smiled when they heard this, Butong tightened his cloak and slowly walked towards the mountain behind the mansion.

Next to Ji Chuan's mausoleum, there was indeed a black thin and tall figure, Bu Tong stood in the distance and did not come forward, another day, I am afraid that it will be difficult to see again, I really can't bear to spoil the current atmosphere,

"It seems that the relationship between this uncle and son-in-law is really good, and the much-loved Fourth Imperial Concubine of the Four Princes' Mansion must have a very good relationship with her brother."

Bu Tong stood in the distance and looked at the scene of one person and one monument standing in the snow, for some reason, he suddenly felt sad in his heart, turned his head and walked back, and met Tang Xuanlin, who was behind the government to guide the Jinyi guard to change guards.

"Xuanlin, are you back?"

Tang Xuanlin was reprimanding a person who looked like the leader of the brocade guards with a cold face, and the brocade guards around him were like ashes, and they didn't dare to make a sound, and when they heard Bu Tong's voice, they turned around and smiled gently and carefully, and spoke softly, so gentle that they seemed to scare Bu Tong away if they spoke loudly.

"Tong'er, why are you here?"

The brocade guards on the side shivered, their heads lowered even deeper, and they tried to reduce their sense of presence.

Bu Tong stepped forward happily,

"Shi Qing said that the Fourth Highness is gone, I came out to look for it."

Looking at the place where Butong came out, Tang Xuanlin naturally understood where Mu Hesheng went.

"I'm about to return to Kyoto City, and His Highness has been going there more frequently lately."

Butong nodded,

"His Royal Highness loves the four imperial concubines, naturally I don't know how to explain when I go back, sadness is certain, but if I have a way to regulate the body of the fourth imperial concubine and let her get pregnant smoothly, will the fourth royal highness be happier?"

Tang Xuanlin was stunned for five seconds before he eased up,

"Uh...... It doesn't seem like this, but if the fourth imperial concubine is pregnant, His Royal Highness must be deeply pleased. ”

Bu Tong has a fighting spirit, although he doesn't know so much about gynecology, but he still knows some things about internal and external adjustments, and there are always so many problems when it comes to torturing women left and right.

Tang Xuanlin saw Bu Tong's appearance like this, and smiled again and again.

Bu Tong continued to walk back,

"You're busy, I'll go back first."

Tang Xuanlin smiled and watched Butong leave, then turned back and continued to sweep everyone with his hundred-year-old ice-like eyes, "Look at what!" ”

……

Seven days later, in the reluctance of all the people of Dongyi City, the group embarked on the way home, different from the prudence and caution when they came, now everyone has happily accepted the rare fruits stuffed by the people, and the bright red and fragrant fruits in the winter are stuffed into the other hand from the trembling hand, so the scene is also complete.

Bu Tong watched Chun Tao gnaw sweetly one apple in one hand in the swaying carriage, and there were several beside him.

"Spring Peach, when did you harvest so many apples?"

Chun Tao is rare and shy, "It was given to me by Brother Chang'an." ”

"Oh? Chang'an, brother? Bu Tong raised an eyebrow and teased her, "I don't know, when did you become so close?" ”

Chun Tao continued to bow her head, "Miss, Chang'an and I both grew up with you, if we get closer in the future, it will be good for Miss." ”

Bu Tong deliberately questioned loudly, "Why do you say this?" Hasn't Chun Tao always been in love with her brother? I originally thought that I would send you to my brother's yard to be my aunt when I returned to Kyoto City. ”

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the neighing of horses and the exclamations of people were heard outside the car, and there was a panic immediately, and then a voice came, "Little brother be careful, press the reins!" ”

In Dongyi City, there is only one person who is always called "little brother".

Bu Tong lifted the curtain, and sure enough, he saw Chang'an's panicked face, and couldn't help but tease him,

"Chang'an, your horse skills were taught by your father and practiced by your brother together, and today you can't even hold the reins? Don't lose the people of the Southern Mansion. ”

Chang'an was embarrassed with a face that was no longer as arrogant and poisonous as usual by Bu Tingyun's side, and nodded "yes".

Hmph, this deceived the most powerful little girl around Miss Ben? It's not that easy.

Chun Tao looked at Bu Tong and lowered the curtain with a triumphant face, and hurriedly rushed over, "Miss, why are you bullying Brother Chang'an, you are with Lord Tang, Brother Chang'an knows everything, go back to Lord ......"

"What!" Bu Tong almost bounced in the carriage,

"I said Chun Tao, you have a love brother, so you sold your young lady?"

Chun Tao was so excited that she almost threw the apple away, and denied it again and again, "How is it possible?" Miss and Lord Tang don't avoid people at all, but Brother Chang'an grew up with adults, how could he not find out? ”

Bu Tong came to his senses, smacked his lips and looked at the spring peach that was seriously gnawing on the apple, and the fleshy little face trembled with the chewing action, and couldn't help but pinch it.

"Fortunately, Chang'an now has a handle in my hands, when I go back to Lingyin Temple to rest, call Chang'an to me, I have to have a good chat with him."

Chun Tao blinked, "What are you talking about?" ”

Bu Tong thought carefully,

"For example, if you leak Miss's secret, you will be married to someone else or something."

Chun Tao turned around angrily and ignored Butong, "Miss is really treacherous. ”

……

Because of the difficulty of snow, the team walked for most of the day, and it was not until the evening that they arrived at Lingyin Temple.

Butong got out of the car and exhaled a breath of hot air,

"Looks like we're going to spend the night here tonight."

Mu Hesheng walked over and responded, "Yes, if you continue to drive like this, I'm afraid the horses won't be able to stand it, and it's not safe to walk at night." ”

Butong nodded,

"His Royal Highness's arrangement is very proper, it just so happens that the courtiers still have some things to ask the abbot, and they were in too much of a hurry some time ago, and there are still a lot of things that have not been sorted out."

As soon as the words fell, Tang Xuanlin brought two people closer, his face was full of coldness, Bu Tong was shocked, afraid that something had happened,

"Your Royal Highness, just called the door, Jinyiwei climbed over the wall and entered, and found that all the people in the temple were shot in the main hall."

"What?!" Everyone exclaimed.

In the main hall of Lingyin Temple, the worship on the high platform still looked at everyone lovingly, but under his feet, there were a group of temple people who had been slaughtered, blood was all over the ground, and the congealed dark red liquid spread and flowed down the steps, and froze when it flowed down, and the hideous appearance was very terrifying.

"The old and weak of a temple, there are people who are so ruthless?!" Bu Tong's heart was cold and piercing, and he was so angry that he couldn't breathe, he obviously came after that life, and now he still doesn't know a lot of things, isn't this a joke?

Mu Hesheng had a rare cold face, "It's obvious that the temple people who have no power to fight back, they can still be ruthless and kill at close range, what kind of people are these!" ”

Close quarters?

But so, the familiar white-feathered red iron arrows, a few of them passed through the thin little body, and nailed straight to the bloody and sticky wooden floor, and the force of three points into the wood must be a close-range shot.

The hall was quiet, oppressive and persecutive, and suddenly Xingtian came in with a person with a big tie of flowers, and shouted loudly,

"Fourth Highness, Lord Overseer, I have caught a killer!"

The cheerful voice was very abrupt from the bloody purgatory hall, but when he heard what he said, everyone lifted their spirits, and Tang Xuanlin stepped up,

"Where did you catch it?"

Xing Tian triumphantly threw the person to the front, "We went to the apse to search, and we encountered this person who was in a mess in the apse, and he was about to set fire to the house, but fortunately he was extinguished by the brothers in time." ”

The person in front of him was dressed as a simple peasant dress, but the murderous aura in his eyes was too heavy, looking straight at the ground, without the slightest timidity and panic in his eyes, Bu Tong looked at him quietly,

"Master Tang, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for this person to open his mouth when he interrogates him."

Tang Xuanlin arched his hand towards Mu Hesheng,

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has recently obtained a new master of torture, it is better to let him try, it would be best if he could ask anything, if he can't ask, it is useless to keep such a useless killer."

Mu Hesheng looked at the man's appearance and nodded, "Let's give it a try." ”

Hearing this, Xingtian saluted Mu Hesheng, "Your Highness, the overseer, rest assured, the villain must do his best, and please go to the side room to rest for the time being, before sunrise tomorrow, there will be results." ”

Bu Tong was very relieved of Xingtian's methods, and then turned to leave, and looked back at Tang Xuanlin when he walked out of the door,

"Lord Tang, it's better to take care of the aftermath of these monks earlier, and it is also sad that the Buddha Gate is pure, and it is also sad that it has suffered such a catastrophe."

Tang Xuanlin nodded,

"Miss, don't worry."

Bu Tong walked out of the hall and looked at Chun Tao who was hiding at the door and trembling,

"What are you afraid of? Let's go to the side wing to find a room to rest. ”

Most of the side courtyards of Lingyin Temple are guest rooms, the scenery should be very beautiful, but this winter day is covered with snow can only see an outline, Butong stood in the garden and watched the brocade guards go in and out to check, turned his back to see the pool of frozen pools, maybe there are fish below?

A voice suddenly came from his ear, "Miss, Chun Tao said that you have something to do with me?" ”

Bu Tong turned his head, facing Shang Chang'an's pair of cramped and restless eyes, the threatening words that he had prepared suddenly couldn't be said, he paused for a long time, and finally slowly spoke,

"Good to Chun Tao."
