Chapter 10: The Aftermath of Jiangcheng

Shen Yan guessed wrong, Xu Jin didn't regret not pinching her.

Instead, he regretted letting her out.

On that day of the Summer Flower Festival, there was a grand noise inside and outside the city, and the lights were colorful.

As the lord of the city, Xu Jin should be happy with the people. After dealing with the affairs at hand, Xu Jin ordered someone to take the flower cake and small purse prepared early in the morning and go out of the city.

The Haiyan River is clear, the people are happy, and they look prosperous and peaceful.

As the head of the party, he is proud in his heart.

Xu Jin was born with an excellent appearance, and he was a good city lord who was aware of the people's feelings, so as soon as he appeared by the stream in the suburbs, someone noticed him and shouted with a smile: "The city lord has also come to enjoy the flowers." ”

"Yes, this is a good day for our Jiangcheng, how can I be absent?"

Xu Jin rolled up his sleeves and responded to the words of the people kindly. Feng Mian beside him was already carrying several bamboo baskets and walking towards the crowd.

Some children have been staring at this bamboo basket for a long time.

Before going out today, the adults told them that the city lord would distribute a hundred flower cakes every year, and if they ate the city lord's hundred flower cakes, they would be blessed, and they would successfully obtain fame and marriage.

Although they didn't know what it meant, the wistful expressions on the faces of the adults made them decide in their hearts that the city lord's potpourri cake was a good thing!

"The lord of the city comes to enjoy the flowers with us every year, and he also brings these potpourri cakes! It's really the best and best adult in the world! ”

A little girl took a piece of potpourri cake from the bamboo basket and said with a smile, and the people around her were immediately amused by her dancing appearance.

Xu Jin rarely relaxed and played, and said with a smile: "It's my honor to be praised by the girl." ”

His pale garden robe was blown by the breeze, the sweet and greasy taste of potpourri cake was scattered in the air, and the coldness between his eyebrows and eyes melted away.

The breeze was warm, and the little girl was stunned with the potpourri cake, and ran away with a little blushing.

Feng Mian distributed the flower cakes in the bamboo basket to the surrounding people, and received many words of thanks and courtesy, and his face couldn't help but bring some joy.

Xu Jin's eyes swept over the bustling crowd, thinking, Shen Yan celebrated the Summer Flower Festival for the first time, would he put river lanterns to pray?

What would a cunning person like her wish make?

Just as he was guessing, Feng Mian walked towards him.

Feng Mian has a calm personality, although there is no superfluous expression on his face at this time, but the pace under his feet is much faster than usual, I am afraid that there is something urgent.

"Yan Niang fled?"

Xu Jin never expected such four words to pop out of his mouth.

"What about the others?"

"An Niang was stabbed, and someone has been sent to bring her back to the city. When the accident happened, Xiaoqiu ...... By the stream...... Play. ”

Fengmian whispered and said no more. Xiaoqiu left his master to play and committed a big taboo.

Xu Jin took a deep look at the distance and thought thoughtfully.

"You go back to the city and send the best Langzhong to An Niang. Xiaoqiu, detain them first. Who is defending the city today? ”

The scenery in front of him is still prosperous, but he has no mind, he just wants to catch Shen Yan back!

It's not that you say yes, you won't say goodbye......

"Today is Guo Shoujun defending the city. The curfew will be postponed according to the calendar of the Summer Flower Festival. Feng Mian knew Xu Jin's thoughts, closed the city gate, and caught turtles in the urn.

But Shen Yan escaped in the suburbs, and he didn't have to cross the city by taking the mountain road, which obviously had loopholes.

"You go back and find out all the people in the mansion who know Shen Yan and guard them at the gates of each city. Martial law was imposed in the house, especially in her courtyard. ”

He's gambling, betting she'll go back to get her stuff.

Only this time, he lost.

……

At night, Xu Jin stood on the city tower with his hands in his hands, looking from a distance, the colorful lights in the city seemed to be connected to the sky, and the joy of the earthquake seemed to overshadow everything.

Such a lively scene, he originally planned to take Shen Yan to watch it together.

"There is no trace of Yan Niang, but everything in her room is there, and there is no shortage of gold and silver."

Feng Mian's voice seemed a little thin in such a bustle.

"You take her portrait and go to a nearby pass. She doesn't know martial arts, she has no power to tie the chicken, and she won't walk the mountain road all the time. ”

The people below were dressed in bright dresses and laughing, and fireworks bloomed in the distance, illuminating and falling in an instant, causing a burst of cheers.

The noise has nothing to do with him.

……

After returning home, Lang Zhong had already seen Anniang's injury. Xu Jin thought about asking something, so she raised her feet and went outside the house where An Niang was.

Lang Zhong came out of the house, walked a few steps quickly with the medicine box, and reported to Xu Jin, "This girl's injury is in the heart, if it is more deviated, it will be dangerous." Now he has saved his life, but he must be carefully nurtured from now on, and he must not be stimulated or do tiring work. ”

Shen Yan actually made a dead hand?

Xu Jin's eyes sank, and he waved his hand and ordered Lang Zhong to retreat.

Hongxiu was in charge of the affairs of the house, and now when she heard that Shen Yan had fled after assassinating An Niang, she came up in anger and scolded: "Such a disgusting and dirty! I don't know how to lift! Dare to kill? I really should have caught it and broken my legs and broken arms! ”

"Enough!"

Xu Jin was so noisy that she had a headache and scolded her.

Feng Mian's eyes were quick, he reached out and dragged Hongxiu to his side, and when an eye knife passed, Hongxiu closed her mouth aggrievedly, but her eyes were still monstrous and angry.

An Niang lives in the side courtyard of the house, she is just a dancing girl, the house is plain, there is no superfluous decoration.

Xu Jin didn't sit down when he went in, but stood outside the inner room with his hands in his hands, and asked coldly through the hanging veil: "Today's matter, you tell me carefully." If you lie, know what will happen. ”

An Niang sneered and whispered.

An Niang and Mrs. hit it off at first sight, thinking that Mrs. didn't go out much, so they invited her to enjoy the flowers together during the Summer Flower Festival. She said that she also likes summer flowers very much, saying that they are gorgeous, unlike her, who is detained and loses her freedom. After saying that, An Niang was a little scared and said, "Madame begged me during the day, begging me to let her go." But how dare I? In the middle of the push, Madame actually took out a dagger and stabbed me......"

In the end, the suppressed cry fell on Xu Jin's ears, which was really fatal.

A woman's tears are the best weapon.

Xu Jin held back her anger and asked, "What did she say?" ”

"Madame said that she already has a lover in her heart, and it is not her wish to marry you as a concubine. She's not happy to be there for you. I also hope that the city lord can cherish the people in front of him and stop clinging to her. ”

An Niang's soft words were like a bucket of cold water, extinguishing Xu Jin's anger.

Xu Jin inexplicably pulled up a faint smile and comforted: "You have a good rest during this time." Lord Zhang will return to Qingzhou tonight, you don't have to worry about these things for the time being, I don't want a second banquet lady to appear. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Leaving An Niang alone, her expression was unknown. The candlelight was faint, and it couldn't illuminate the pool of deep water under her eyes.

The autumn breeze is rising. Heaven and earth were slaughtered.

The concubine of Xu Jin, the lord of Jiangcheng, drowned, but in half a month, he married a new concubine and called him An Niang.

Speaking of which, Xu Jin is in charge of Jiangcheng and the land of the city and the three continents of the city, the lord of one side, who is close to the age of standing, but has never married a wife. Before the feast, the back house was almost a decoration!

There are rumors, and there are always people who wonder if this city lord who holds three continents and one city has some hidden diseases.

Now, the rumors are self-defeating.
