The golden flowers fluttered and sprinkled, the dense canopy cast a large shadow on the grass, and everyone's clothes were stained with a few wisps of osmanthus fragrance. At this time, they were quite leisurely, walking and stopping in the forest, immersed in the fragrance of flowers, relaxed and happy, and unconsciously walked into the depths of Guilin.

Lu Ci, who had just been thinking about the problem, came from the edge of the forest and quickly caught up with a few people. He stood beside Ling Xiao, showed a sly smile, and called Ling Xiao aside rather flatteringly. In order to come up with a reasonable argument, he didn't even enter the house just now.

Standing in the shade of the tree, with flowers and branches flourishing on his head, Ling Xiao raised his eyes and glanced at the young man in front of him who was standing casually, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Say, what's the matter?" ”

Lu Ci secretly glanced at a few figures not far away through the cracks in the trunks of the trees, and made sure that Lu Jingxing didn't pay attention to their movements here, so he opened his mouth curtly, but didn't spit out a word. He was very annoyed that he had forgotten all the words he had just thought of.

"It's okay, then I'll go first." Ling Xiao only felt funny when he saw his embarrassed look. In fact, she had already guessed what he was doing by calling her aside alone, but if she didn't break it, this kid was to blame.

Lu Ci buried his head in the grass, stood on tiptoe and stepped on a cluster of yellowed grass, raised his hand and scratched the back of his head: "That, you help me talk to the mansion master, I'm really not suitable for managing accounts, maybe it will become more and more chaotic when the time comes." ”

"I won't help with this, you are completely in trouble, and you will talk to Jing Xing yourself." After Ling Xiao finished speaking, he was about to leave.

Lu Ci hurriedly blocked her way, with a bitter face: "Woman, please." If the lord of the mansion was willing to forgive me, he would have taken back the order a long time ago, and I begged him all the way, but he just ignored me. Actually, I didn't say anything at the time, I just accidentally broke a little secret of his. ”

"Then I can't help you." Ling Xiao spread his hands helplessly, and his eyes naturally swept over Lu Ci and landed on a cluster of flower branches in front of him, with a hint of cunning on his face that Lu Ci could not detect.

When Lu Ci heard her say this, he frowned at first, but soon stretched out again, his eyes rolled, and the corners of his mouth curved into a mysterious smile: "Woman, aren't you curious about this secret?" ”

"Will you tell me?" Ling Xiao glanced at him, his tone was light, and he didn't seem very interested.

Lu Ci continued to step on the grass slowly, and looked down a few times from time to time, pouting: "You go and help me intercede first, I promise to tell you." Also, I'm curious, what did the lord of the mansion say to you when you entered the courtyard? Since you didn't ask again. ”

Of course, it was impossible for Lu Ci to really tell Ling Xiao, otherwise, he estimated that his mansion master would have killed him. Besides, even if it wasn't for his own life, it was impossible for him to betray his mansion master.

"Just this little secret, it's worth telling me about the conditions? Didn't you just mean that he stayed overnight in the Qinglou? Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows, his face was indifferent, and then he looked at Lu Ci's face with a frozen expression, "Let me ask you, before he met me, did he go to the Qinglou?" Answer truthfully, I can also consider interceding for you. ”

After being stunned, Lu Ci's face was instantly full of still, and a pair of eyes widened: "Huh? You know it all? Shouldn't you have told you this when you were at the door? ”

Seeing Ling Xiao nodded, Lu Ci didn't know what to say at all, he only felt that Ling Xiao was generous. Moreover, he never imagined that his mansion master would dare to tell Ling Xiao about this matter so generously.

"You don't have to take it to heart, the mansion master may have just gone for that woman's talent this time, and didn't do anything else. And you can rest assured that there was absolutely no before. As far as I know, he didn't, but he had been traveling most of his time, and I don't know if he had been there during that time. "I really don't know if Lu Ci is excusing Lu Jingxing? still deliberately wanted to harm Lu Jingxing, it was simply getting darker and darker, and some of it was all shaken out of his big mouth. If Lu Jingxing was present at this moment, he would definitely be finished.

Fortunately, Lu Jingxing and Ling Xiao were together last night, otherwise, when Ling Xiao heard Lu Ci's words, Lu Jingxing was afraid that he didn't know how to explain to Ling Xiao, although he also knew that Ling Xiao might not necessarily believe Lu Ci, but it was best not to have such a misunderstanding.

Ling Xiao was deliberately tricking Lu Ci, just to know if Lu Jingxing had been to Qinglou before.

She thought that since Lu Ci could think that Lu Jingxing went to the Qinglou last night, maybe it wasn't a guess, maybe Lu Jingxing had really been to such a fireworks place before. Thinking of this, her heart was sour, and she was a little angry, so she used this method to set Lu Ci's words.

If Lu Jingxing really went, she wouldn't be able to spare him. Although it was in the past, she still minded it in her heart because of her possessiveness. As a result, this question is equivalent to not asking, listening to this, Lu Ci is not very clear, after all, Lu Jingxing has been gone for a long time before, and no one has followed.

However, this time Lu Ci really guessed out of thin air, and he inadvertently pitted Lu Jingxing once.

Looking at Ling Xiao's back as he turned to leave, Lu Ci was a little anxious, and hurriedly shouted, "I've told you everything I know, you have to talk too, right?" ”

"It's natural, but if he doesn't listen, it's none of my business." Ling Xiao's footsteps did not stop, nor did he look back at Lu Ci, but glanced at the finches bouncing in the forest, and then changed his direction slightly, and walked towards the handsome figure that fell behind the few people.

Lu Jingxing was deliberately waiting for Ling Xiao, so he fell behind a few people. At this moment, seeing Ling Xiao walking on the somewhat uneven grass towards him, he also greeted him and asked casually, "What did Lu Ci tell you?" ”

"He told me everything. Let me ask you, have you ever been to a place like Qinglou before? Ling Xiao stood opposite Lu Jingxing and glanced up at him. When she asked this, there was a coquettish look on her face that had never been revealed, and such a look did not seem to belong to her before.

The two of them stood half-hidden in the shade of the trees, one bright and one dark, and the occasional golden flower grains drifted down from the branches in the breeze. Lu Jingxing looked serious, stared at Ling Xiao's feigned anger face for a long time, the corners of his lips hooked up a warm smile, and shook his head: "I've never been there." ”

"I don't believe it, since Lu Ci can think like this, it means that there may have been such a thing before. Besides, I've seen it once. When Ling Xiao saw Lu Jingxing's serious expression, he already believed his words in his heart, and there seemed to be a trace of sweetness in his heart, but he was hard-mouthed, wanting to see how Lu Jingxing would explain.

Lu Jingxing took two steps forward, raised his hand and gently plucked the petals that had penetrated into her hair, and his words were mixed with a helpless smile: "Xiao Xiao, isn't this deliberately embarrassing me?" How can you count that night? As you can see, I stumbled into that kind of place after the murderers. It seems that the punishment given to Lu Ci's kid is not enough, and that mouth is still not covered. ”

"Don't worry about talking about other people's resignations first. I've been there once, I've been there once, and I've sworn to tell that I never did. Hmph, remember, never go to that kind of place again. Ling Xiao said, and couldn't help but raise his eyes and glance at Lu Jingxing, with a hint of arrogance. Such a look, she will only occasionally show it inadvertently in front of Lu Jingxing.

For Ling Xiao's petty temperament that is not easy to show, Lu Jingxing has no way at all, but what is more right in his heart is joy. He naturally put his arm around her waist and walked side by side with her, smiling happily, nodding and promised: "Okay, Xiao Xiao's words, I remember, I won't go to that kind of place in the future." ”

"That's pretty much it. By the way, Lu Ci begged me for one thing, I have already promised him, you can do it. Ling Xiao's expression had returned to his usual calm and indifference, and he looked up at him with his lips slightly hooked.

This tone is obviously a hint of threat, but it is very useful here in Lu Jingxing. He looked at her, and there seemed to be a smile in his eyes: "It seems that I won't spare him this time?" Well, I'll leave you and him alone this time. However, his mouth almost caused me a misunderstanding that I couldn't clear, so the punishment should not be less. ”

"How are you going to punish him?" Ling Xiao's steps were leisurely, and he was not in a hurry to catch up with the four figures in front of him, so he picked a few grains on the cinnamon branch that fell in front of him, and put them in the palm of his hand to look at them carefully.

Lu Jingxing looked up at Lu Ci, who was already walking with Zhong Limu and them in front of him, shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Before you know it, you have come to the end of Guilin. And beyond the woods, there was a clearing ahead. Lu Jingxing pointed slightly ahead: "Let's go, I'll take you to pick a horse." ”

Walking out of Guilin, although the sun was not as strong as summer, it was still very strong, and it seemed to be a little hot on the body without shelter, and the pace of the two of them accelerated a little, and they saw the stable on the other side of the open space from a distance.

Ling Xiao clearly remembered that he had learned to ride a horse in this clearing last year, but the horse he had chosen had died near the sinkhole. That's why Lu Jingxing brought her here again, planning to give her another horse.

At this time, the others were still wandering in the forest, where the breeze mixed with the fragrance of flowers, refreshing and quiet. But they saw Ling Xiao and Lu Jingxing walking towards the opposite side of the clearing, and they all came out of the forest one after another, walking slowly while listening to Lu Ci's introduction to the horse shed over there.

When the two horsemen saw Lu Jing walking, they hurriedly went up to salute.

Lu Jingxing bowed his head and let the two grooms step aside, pulled Ling Xiao closer, and raised his finger: "Which one do you like?" ”

Looking at the scene in front of him, Ling Xiao seemed to think of something, couldn't help but smile, and muttered: "This is like giving away a luxury car, the nature seems to be the same, they are all rides." ”

Each of these horses is a fine horse, a precious breed, and a few of them can even be regarded as a rare gold in ancient times, which is tantamount to a modern luxury car. Besides, like ordinary people, let alone valuable horses, even ordinary horses may not be able to own.
