Chapter 52: The Key
"Daddy, do you really plan to keep her for a long time?" Listening to Shen Yuanfu's plan, Shen Ruolan gradually calmed down, and Shen Yuanfu showed a smug smile on his face, "I thought she was a stupid girl who didn't know anything, so I rushed out, but I didn't expect her to have a few brushes, and Master Lu also had the grace to take us in back then, and we took her back as a reward for their family's kindness, and from then on, we didn't owe each other to their Lu family." ”
"Daddy is right, but I was confused for a while, and I didn't think of this." The look on Shen Ruolan's face gradually changed from shock to satisfaction, and she also laughed with Shen Yuanfu, "It's still Daddy's thoughtful, since that's the case, I'll let my subordinates prepare first." ”
"Well, first clean up a courtyard and come out, then clean up the place where she used to live in the east, that yard has been deserted for a long time, and it needs to be taken care of." Shen Yuanfu nodded and walked to the door of the study, looking at the sky outside that was gradually darkening, "When I take her back and settle down, my father will go to Liufu to meet Lord Liu in person." ”
"Really?" Shen Ruolan's face was shocked, and then she showed a look of surprise and joy, and walked quickly to Shen Yuanfu's side, "Daddy, do you agree with me and Liu Gongzi?" ”
"I haven't written a word yet, but since you brought it up, I'll take a look, it's not a big deal." Shen Yuanfu spoke, his squinted eyes flashing with a fine light.
The night was getting deeper, the soldiers in the barracks had already gone to bed early, they were all tired after a day of training, and they were almost snoring like thunder when they hit the pillow, Murong Zheng was lying on the innermost bed, staring at the unclosed window next to him, and a ray of moonlight secretly spilled in.
He couldn't help but turn over and sit up, and was about to get out of bed and go out, when a soldier on the bed next to him looked at him in a daze, "Why don't you sleep yet?" ”
"I'm going to wake up at night." Murong Zheng replied, the soldier didn't say anything more, smacked his lips and fell asleep again, he got up and walked to the window, stretched out his hand to push open the window, and quietly flipped out.
Commander Li was sitting under the lamp wiping the big knife that was always at his side, the blade was as bright as new under the lamp, glowing with a faint silver light, and he took the soft cloth in his hand and gently wiped it one by one, like some beloved treasure.
His ears suddenly moved, and he heard a soft sound around him, and he immediately became alert, took the long knife in his hand, and got up and touched it towards the place where the sound had come.
I saw a figure flash quickly, Commander Li frowned, waved the long knife in his hand and followed, the knife light flew up and down, reflecting a bright light, just shining on the eyebrows of the visitor, Murong Zheng grabbed Commander Li's wrist with one hand, and the other hand was already attached to his neck.
"If I had a dagger in my hand at this time, I am afraid you would have no power to fight back." The sword light reflected Murong Zheng's long eyebrows that flew obliquely into his temples, and his eyes were as faint and cold as the cold long knife in Commander Li's hand at this moment.
"If you want to come and knock on the door, why do you have to pretend to be a ghost? I thought someone had broken into the barracks. Commander Li withdrew the long knife in his hand, turned around and walked into the house, Murong Zheng followed behind him and straightened his sleeves, "If I come openly, what does it mean?" ”
"You......" Commander Li couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't say anything to blame.
"I heard that the palace is going to send people to suppress mountain bandits recently, has the list been drawn up?" Murong Zheng walked to the soft collapse by the window and sat down, his posture was very casual.
Commander Li also turned around and put away his long knife, sat down opposite him, raised his hand and poured a cup of hot tea, "It's already booked, these mountain bandits have been frequently harming the people recently, and their methods are becoming more and more cruel, and the villages within a radius of dozens of miles have almost harmed them, and the local officials have already written several letters, if the court and the central government don't care about this matter anymore, I'm afraid it won't work." ”
"Let me go." Murong Zheng frowned, and after listening to Commander Li's words, he simply spit out three words, Commander Li was slightly stunned, "I can't be the master of this matter, and those mountain bandits are still hundreds of miles away from the capital, this is not as simple as a military drill." ”
"You're the Grand Commander, and you can't even be this lord?" Murong Zheng raised his eyes to look at him, picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it up, "I naturally know that this is not a drill, those mountain bandits do a lot of evil, I just want to do a part, if you can't be the master, I will go into the palace to find the emperor." ”
"Are you really going?" Commander Li was slightly stunned, originally thinking that Murong Zheng was just talking and playing, but he suddenly remembered that the current Murong Zheng was no longer the same person he used to be, and his brows furrowed even deeper.
"Well, if I stay in this barracks, I'll never get ahead, and if I want to get out, I have to do something." Murong Zheng nodded, as if he suddenly thought of something, got up and walked out, and stopped at the door again, "If I really go, I will ask Commander Li to help me take care of someone." ”
As soon as it was dawn, Lu Linlang was awakened by a knock on the door, she was dreaming, she got up from the bed in a daze, and walked to the door before remembering who would come to her so early in the morning, and the way to wake her up was so rude.
When he opened the door, he saw Murong Zheng standing outside the door, raised his eyebrows, looked at her with a smile, and looked at her from head to toe with his eyes, "That's how you receive guests?" ”
Lu Linlang was wearing underwear, that is, modern pajamas, her hair was unkempt, she hadn't woken up yet, and she frowned a little unhappily, but her white and tender skin like cow's milk looked more and more delicate, and her pink lips pouted.
"You came to me early in the morning. What's the matter? It's not my usual time to wake up. ”
"Are you opening an embroidery village, or are you here to be the eldest lady?" Murong Zheng walked directly into the house as he spoke, and put the things he was carrying on the table next to him, and Lu Linlang suddenly smelled a burst of fragrance.
"You didn't come here so early just to bring me breakfast, did you?" As she spoke, Lu Linlang walked to the vanity mirror and quickly combed her hair, pulled all her hair on top of her head, and fixed it with a hairpin, the rest of her hair was a little messy, which made her look very vibrant.
Murong Zheng saw her plain face and undisguised appearance in front of him, and couldn't help but smile on his lips, "I knew that when I came to look for you so early, you definitely didn't get up, and with these things to eat, you will be able to wake up." ”
"It's still Brother Murong who knows me best." Lu Linlang said and sat down at the table, wiped his hands and picked up a small steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth, with a satisfied look on his face, "The small steamed bread in the morning is the most delicious food in the world." ”
After eating and drinking, Lu Linlang personally made a cup of hot tea, and opened the window of the room to ventilate, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, and the wind outside was not so cold.
Murong Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window, and he could understand how comfortable Lu Linlang lived here, and couldn't help but sigh lightly, Lu Linlang sat down opposite him, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? You have evaporated from the world during this time, and there is no news, I thought you were not going to come back, if you really want to move away, give me your yard, and I still want to open a weaving mill! ”
"You're so desperate for me to move out?" Murong Zheng glanced at her, with a thick dissatisfaction in his tone, Lu Linlang smiled, "Where, where, I just feel that you have been wronged by living here, just like now, I am very content to come back and see me from time to time." ”
"If I did move away, why should I come back to see you? Who are you? Murong Zheng suddenly spoke, Lu Linlang was choked by his words, and he didn't know what to say for a long time, when he suddenly heard a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, thinking that Qinghong and Lanyi should have gotten up to clean up.
"I ...... Am I not your sister? It's not strange that the eldest brother occasionally comes to see his sister, right? Lu Linlang's eyes rolled, and then he came up with an excuse, "But if the sister-in-law minds, you just need to let me know, and we can also become strangers who have never known each other, but this wedding wine can't be without mine." ”
"What are you talking nonsense again?" Murong Zheng listened to her talking nonsense alone, and after a while, a sister-in-law came out again, and couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle, "I really have something to tell you when I come this time." ”
"What's the matter? You're not really going to get married, are you? Lu Linlang blinked, if Murong Zheng really wanted to get married, she was still a little empty in her heart, and he was just getting used to being a neighbor with him, and he was going to move out.
"If you want to get married, you must also have a woman marry me." Murong Zheng glanced at her helplessly, "I'm going to go on a long trip, and I may not be able to come back for ten days and a half months, you should be more careful by yourself, stay in the embroidery village honestly and don't go out and walk around at will." ”
"Where are you going?" Lu Linlang blinked, for some reason when Murong Zheng told her like this, she really felt that the eldest brother in the family cared about her sister, and she couldn't help but be a little worried when she looked at Murong Zheng's face.
"Go out to do something, come back when it's done, if you want to build a weaving mill in my yard, you can do it, and when I come back, I will move the luggage to your house and squeeze with you." Murong Zheng raised his eyes, and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden.
Lu Linlang was stunned for a while before he realized what he meant, and he blushed a little, "My house is small, but I can't accommodate your big Buddha, I'll help you keep your yard, so when will you leave?" ”
"Now." Murong Zheng got up and walked out as he spoke, and Lu Linlang hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, I have something for you." ”
I didn't expect him to leave so suddenly, but he didn't forget to bring himself a breakfast before leaving, and he didn't call him big brother in vain on weekdays, Lu Linlang walked back to the inner room, took out a baggage, thought about it and walked out, and handed the burden to Murong Zheng.
