Chapter 25: The Demon of the World
The guard Baizhu stood in the study, his head lowered, not daring to look up at his expression.
After being silent for a while, the tip of the pen in Lu Changfeng's hand fell heavily on the paper, "Please Zhao Yuan drink, nothing will happen to the left and right, you just stare carefully." ”
Atractylodes said yes.
The door was closed, and the three of them sat together.
Zi Xiu played with the paper fan in his hand, "According to what you said, this Zhao Yuan is fake, so what do you see?" ”
Si Xing frowned: "It's just that you can't see anything, so there's a problem." That's why we pretended to be your attendant, saying that we would invite him to drink, and use this drinking party to probe his truth again. ”
Manyue nodded like pounding garlic, and the punishment was really a set, and the mistake was deliberate. It's really worthy of the pen in his hand.
Although it was a big winter, Zixiu didn't really want to set up a banquet to invite Zhao Yuan to drink, and Meng Zhao didn't care about these red tapes. I still remember that Manyue said that she wanted to go fishing, but it was better to go directly to the sky, which had a different flavor.
In order to act like a little bit, I really took out two jars of good wine. Maybe even the heavens follow them, the howling cold wind is rare to rest, except that it is a little late, it is really a good day for fishing.
The river had already been frozen by heavy snow for many days, and the torturer took his sword and knocked out a few small holes in the ice on the shore, and put the fishing rods on the ground.
Many people saw that the wind was getting quieter tonight, and they also came out and walked around.
The little servant knocked on the door of the Lu Mansion, and the housekeeper Lu opened the door and came out. The little guy said: "The Seventh Prince asked General Lu to go and talk about it." ”
Lu Changfeng put down the book and pinched his eyebrows. Fu Jinshu, the seventh prince, has been friends with him for many years. Lu Changfeng was in the center of the whirlpool, thinking that it would be better for the Seven Princes to have less contact, but it could be considered that they had not met for a long time.
I've been feeling bored lately, so it's good to go out for a walk. He changed into his regular clothes and went to the Seven Princes' Mansion with the little servant.
The wood in the woods was covered with snow and was mostly wet, so you had to buy it from nearby farmers to build a fire.
Manyue held a pile of messy firewood, went up to the bridge, and saw Lu Changfeng walking here, so she shouted from a distance: "Lu Changfeng-" The jagged wooden branches blocked half of her face, revealing only a pair of smiling eyes.
The night breeze lifted the corners of her clothes and looked at him from afar. The surrounding chaos disappeared, and only the little girl at the head of the bridge seemed to be left between heaven and earth, and the crisp voice came to him against the river.
"General, it's not too early, Your Highness is still waiting." Seeing him stop suddenly, the little guy was stunned and couldn't help but remind him.
Lu Changfeng came back to his senses, turned his face away, put his hands behind his waist, and walked straight over.
Si Xing walked behind Manyue from Manyue, saw Lu Changfeng, how did he feel that they were quarreling, so he asked, "Uncle Xiao, what's wrong?" Manyue was also confused: "I don't know, it's inexplicable." ”
Lu Changfeng glanced back, and could only catch a glimpse of the swaying corners of his clothes. He stopped and said to the servant: "You go back and tell Your Highness, just say that I have something urgent today, and I will visit tomorrow." ”
Going and returning, a small fire was lit on the opposite bank, illuminating the figures of several people clearly.
Zixiu and Zhao Yuan chatted quite speculatively, and Manyue sat on a big rock and watched. The priest roasted the fish on the fire.
Manyue leaned next to Si Xing and pushed him with her elbow, "Si Xing, do you see anything?" "The wine of the edict is strong, and the person who does not drink well can't drink much. Zhao Yuan drank a few sips of wine, sat by the fire and roasted, his face flushed.
Manyue looked into his eyes and made a mouth shape, "Demon energy? ”
The priest blinked.
It's amazing, how can there be demons involved. Si Xing said: "It's not the demon of Nanxu, it's a branch of the human world. ”
How is this pool of water getting more and more chaotic, Manyue holds his chin and combs it carefully.
Ten years ago, Zhao Yuan was led to the village of the undead and was killed by the undead, and the fake Zhao Yuan was actually a demon pretending. I'm afraid there are a lot of threads in this that they don't know. Manyue shook her head, had a headache, and didn't want to think about it.
The priest handed the grilled fish to her and said, "Uncle Xiao, if you can't figure it out, just put it first." ”
Lu Changfeng stood in the dark, sighed, turned his head and walked back to the Lu Mansion.
Zhao Yuan couldn't find anything here for the time being, so the punishment decided to go to the earth and the underworld first, and then discuss the rest of the things when he came back.
The earth and the human world are not far away, but if you rely on walking, you won't be able to walk for more than 100 years. The only way to pass is by the boundary bridge and the boundary gate that connect the two worlds.
It's rare to be idle, and when I think of this county lord, I came to look for her. When she came, Manyue moved a chair and sat at the kitchen door, while Liu Anan was busy inside. The maid who led the way blessed herself and withdrew.
"Anding, why are you here?" Manyue was very surprised.
She smiled, "I'll take a break these days, so I'll see if the county lord is free." ”
Manyue pouted: "I happen to be going to a place these days, so I can't play with you." Look at her sullen, An Ding really likes her as a person, joys, sorrows and sorrows are on her face, simple and clean. Much cuter than those old foxes.
"It doesn't matter, the county lord has been in Shengjing for a long time, so it's okay to go out for a walk. Where is the county lord going? ”
As soon as the word "earth" in the earth and the sky came to her throat, Manyue hurriedly swallowed it back, and pointed to Liu An'an inside: "Si Xing said that it is not a way for her to stay here, first find her a suitable place to live." As for her grievances, I can't help them, so it's up to you. ”
An Ding responded, "Now we know that Zhao Yuan did it, but there is no evidence, and it will take a long time to bring him to justice." ”
Liu Anan came out with the soup and put it on the table, and there were a few bowls on the table. She filled two bowls and said, "General An, let's also drink a few sips." This is the fish that the little county lord caught last night. ”
It smells very fresh and fragrant, and has a sweet aftertaste after entering the mouth. Stability was amazed.
Liu An'an's eyebrows softened, fading away from that sad face, and he was a lot gentle, "General Lao An is bothered about my affairs, and the general and the county lord don't have to worry too much." It is already An An's blessing to be able to get to know the two. ”
"I'm leaving, I won't go back to Shengjing in the future, thank you for taking care of the county lord and the general these days, and please General An help me thank General Lu." There was infinite sadness in her eyes.
Wandering in the human world for too long, even with the protection of the wild moon, it will not do her any good after all. According to the meaning of the punishment, this time she went to the earth and the heavens, and let her stay there first. After all, the earth is the land of ghosts, so it is also convenient for her to die in the future.
Stability feels strange, people have homesickness, it is common sense. She is a native of Shengjing, and she is naturally sad to be uprooted. But Liu An'an's grievances have not yet been washed away, and the post house is safe. Moreover, after the truth is revealed, she can continue to live in Shengjing. Why the hurry?
"By the way, Anding, has Lu Changfeng been busy lately?" Manyue asked.
An Ding thought about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed true, and the documents in the Patrol Division are almost piled up. But it's also strange that Lu Changfeng did those things by himself, and by the way, he also took care of her affairs. She had only stolen a few days of leisure.
Usually when he was upset, it was the same.
Rao is Manyue was sluggish and noticed his abnormality, and complained: "He always avoids me." She leaned closer to settle down, lowered her voice, and looked serious, "Does he owe anyone money?" ”
As soon as he swallowed a mouthful of fish soup, he was so amused that he coughed a few times: "The county lord thinks too much, and the court is enough for him." ”
It seems that the elder brother is only hiding from the county lord, and although he is old and serious, he is also young and high-spirited. After staying with the county lord for a long time, it is probably difficult to restrain yourself...... The smile on Anding's face couldn't help it, and he already had a plan in his heart.
The county lord is also a very good person, and Brother Yu is a good match. Now that she is at an impasse, it is better for her to add some firewood to her brother and break the deadlock in one fell swoop.
Thinking of this, An Ding stood up and said to Manyue: "It's not too early, where is the county going to go, but you have to go back quickly." When the weather gets colder and the roads are closed by heavy snow, it will be difficult to walk. ”
Settle down and leave the post house and go straight to the Patrol Division.
Lu Changfeng was looking through the paperwork, and she stepped forward: "Brother, don't be too tired, these things are not in a hurry." ”
He snorted.
She took out a copy casually, flipped it in her hand, but her eyes were staring at him, and she said casually: "By the way, I just went to see the county lord of Mengzhao once." ”
He still only hummed.
An Ning sighed, looking regretful: "I don't know why, a carriage stopped at the door, and the county lord packed up everything." After asking, I found out that the prince was worried that the county lord would not be used to living in Shengjing, and he wanted to send the county lord back to Mengzhao, and he was about to leave in the near future. ”
Lu Changfeng was stunned, and he couldn't read the words on the paperwork.
Where she is not used to living, most of the time Zixiu feels uneasy, so he wants to send her back. Anyway, sooner or later, you have to go back. There are some things that cannot be avoided.
Seeing that he was unmoved, An Ding continued to add fuel and vinegar: "The county lord also said that if there is a son, there will be no her, and the prince would better live in Shengjing for a lifetime, then she will not return to Shengjing for the rest of her life." So he got what he wanted. ”
It was like she said it.
"That's enough." Lu Changfeng said in a deep voice.
