Chapter 148: Flying Lanterns
Jiang Yu took back the rush in Gan Peilin's hand: "It seems that you don't have to intercede for the Ao family." ”
"Are you going to let them go?" Gan Peilin was still surprised. It is said that Ao Min should not have taken the lead at this time. And how could he, a teenager, tear through the defense of the West Camp and break in single-handedly.
"Of course." Jiang Yu nodded casually. "If someone is willing to do things for the imperial court, I am naturally happy to see it happen."
Gan Peilin nodded: "It's okay." ”
"Let Ao Yu be responsible for the transportation of grain and grass." Jiang Yu didn't have too much expression on his face, but he was slightly unhappy in his heart. The emperor didn't even say hello, so he let Ao Xuan go on the expedition. And he also chose a time he didn't know. It seems that he has become an "important minister" used and guarded by the emperor, and he is suspected of being a meritorious master at any time.
"Full?" Jiang Yu saw that Gan Peilin had no heart to eat anymore. "Let's go, I'll take you to the moon."
Gan Peilin wanted to say something, but he was already holding his hand and getting up and going out.
The carriage picked up the two and headed all the way to the Golden Beach.
Along the way, the slightly cool autumn breeze blows the curtain from time to time.
Gan Peilin sat quietly beside Jiang Yu, his mind blank. It's good not to think about anything.
Golden sand beach, empty.
At this time, only the ripples of moonlight can be seen on the water surface of the huge river beach. The dark night twinkles with a little moonlight, but it is also quiet and comfortable.
Unfortunately, the moon is not full tonight. It can't catch up with the brightness and brightness.
Jiang Yu could see a little disappointment on Gan Peilin's face, and couldn't help but smile.
"What are you laughing at?" Gan Peilin stared at him. "Looks like you're smiling right now."
"Yes?" Jiang Yu didn't notice this change.
Gan Peilin didn't make a sound, looking into the distance: "Aren't there many people who usually come here for a walk?" Why is it so quiet tonight? ”
"I thought you didn't like to be busy." Jiang Yu asked: "Have you ever seen the bright moon in the sky, and have you seen thousands of stars?" ”
"Huh?" Gan Peilin was curious.
Jiang Yu snapped his fingers.
Suddenly, the stars flickered again in the dark night, and soon, many people came from nowhere, all carrying elaborate flying lanterns in their hands.
didn't wait for Gan Peilin to speak.
People let go almost at the same time, and the flying lights rose into the air. The dark night sky was lit up by a bright light.
The men, women and children who put on the lights are either smiling or embracing each other. The children happily ran after the flying lanterns. For a while, the quiet golden sand beach became particularly lively. It's like a new year.
"Thousands of stars, this is true." Gan Peilin's clear pupils were illuminated by this starry light.
Jiang Yu looked at her with a picturesque face, full of warmth.
She's so beautiful, especially those clear eyes. As bright as the moonlight in the sky, it is unforgettable at a glance.
"Do you like it?" Jiang Yu asked softly in her ear.
"I like it." Gan Peilin replied without hesitation.
"There's finally one thing, I gave it to you, and you like it." Jiang Yu saw that she didn't wear the clothes and accessories she gave to the appointment, so he knew that she didn't like the gift she sent to Ganfu this morning. But it doesn't matter, there is always one thing, there is always one time, it can touch her heart.
"Thank you for bothering me." Gan Peilin retracted his gaze and landed on Jiang Yu's face. "Can you promise me one thing?"
She wanted to say it, but when the words came to her lips, she felt that she was not qualified to say such things.
"What?" Jiang Yu stared at her.
"No ......" Gan Peilin turned his gaze away and looked away.
"......" Jiang Yu didn't know what she was hesitating about. But it doesn't feel very good. "Peilin."
Gan Peilin turned his face around, and his lips fell on the corners of her mouth so suddenly.
Pushing him away violently, Gan Peilin covered the position he had kissed, and his eyes widened. "You take advantage of people's danger......"
"Nothing." Jiang Yu frowned dissatisfiedly: "With me here, how can it be dangerous?" ”
"You're in danger." Gan Peilin's guard was provoked by him just like this. "The dinner is over, and the moon is with you. It's not too early, it's time for me to go home. ”
Hearing that she was leaving, Jiang Yu couldn't help but be anxious, and hugged her in his arms with a flash. "Don't go, Peilin."
Gan Peilin struggled even more. "You let go of me......"
"As long as you don't go, I'll let go." Jiang Yu said this in a consultative tone with her.
Gan Peilin nodded slightly, and Jiang Yu really let go.
"Now tell me, what did you just want me to promise you?" Jiang Yu wanted to know what she thought. Want to know everything she cares about.
"......" Gan Peilin didn't know how to speak, and was stunned for a while.
She wanted Jiang Yu to promise him not to kill so many people again. Especially after the Great War, those innocent subjects and prisoners.
But this matter doesn't seem to be her turn to take care of at all. And she was sure that if she did, he might not listen......
"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Yu couldn't help but be curious when he saw her strange expression. "Is there something wrong with it?"
"No, I'm fine." Gan Peilin avoided the hand he was about to reach over to touch his forehead, and smiled reluctantly: "I forgot what I was going to say again, I'll tell you when I remember." After all, if you promise one thing, I can't afford to lose. ”
"......" Jiang Yu's eyes, she is playful and cute, and she is smart. Whatever you want. ”
Whatever you say you want, I'll do my best to accommodate it. Apart from...... Away from you.
No more talking, the atmosphere became much more comfortable again.
Gan Peilin remembered the last flying lantern, or the Mid-Autumn Festival with his mother. It's a pity that there is no such opportunity again.
"Metropolitan Governor, Metropolitan Governor help......"
In the midst of the crowd, a woman stumbled over.
Lu Yao and Liulan, who were not far away, were vigilant, and the two of them drew their blades in unison.
"Bold." Lu Yao's sword was almost pierced into the woman's body.
"Stop." Jiang Yu suddenly stopped.
Lu Yao's body trembled in shock. "Yes, master."
Gan Peilin looked at Jiang Yu in a little panic, he didn't expect him to stop Lu Yao in time, and let out a long breath. "Liulan, you also put away the sword, there are a lot of people here, don't scare others."
Rulan nodded and did as she was told.
"Is there something wrong with this sister?" Gan Peilin asked the woman who was so frightened that her soul was about to fly.
Hearing her voice, the woman came back to her senses. "Governor, my daughter is gone. When the lights were just turned on, I asked her to fetch some flying lights. But in the blink of an eye, I went back to look for it, and the person was gone. She's very well-behaved and won't run around. However, when I found it just now, the flying lantern fell to the ground, and I just didn't see her there. ”
"Lu Yao, you go and look for it." Jiang Yu frowned.
"Don't worry, this sister, the Metropolitan Governor has already asked people to find it. It should be fine. Gan Peilin asked Liulan to help her to sit next to her. After waiting for a while, he asked Jiang Yu again: "You made these flying lanterns by you?" ”
"Yes." Jiang Yu nodded: "I found some farmers so that they can do a good job today." Rest assured, I have given the silver. There is no coercion. ”
Gan Peilin nodded, believing his words.
Jiang Yu was a little embarrassed as to why he would explain that sentence. But it was as if if he hadn't said it, she would have misunderstood.
It's awkward after all.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Yao went and returned: "Master, I have searched all the neighborhood, but there is no one." ”
When the woman heard this, her heart tightened: "But my daughter is really well-behaved, she won't run around." ”
"How old is your daughter?" Gan Peilin hurriedly asked.
"She was born two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she will be twelve soon." The woman was nervous.
"Expand the scope and keep looking." Jiang Yu had a bad feeling.
"Yes." Lu Yao received the order and quickly disappeared in front of him with his entourage.
"Don't worry, maybe your daughter will come home." Gan Peilin thought to herself, it is impossible for a twelve-year-old girl to get lost by herself. Maybe it's home, maybe it's a friend of your own, where to talk. "That's it, let Rulan accompany you home first and wait."
"Nope." Liulan shook her head again and again: "The slave has to stay to protect Miss." ”
"It's okay." Gan Peilin was about to say something.
Jiang Yu snapped his fingers, and an entourage stepped forward.
"Master." The person who came was a woman in an ordinary cloth dress who was hiding in the crowd.
"Send her home." While Jiang Yu spoke, he held Gan Peilin's hand.
Gan Peilin only cared about worrying about that girl, and didn't think much about it for a while.
"I'll send you home." Jiang Yu had a premonition that something was wrong and didn't want Gan Peilin to take risks.
"But I still want to help her ......"
"There's me here." Jiang Yu gave a gentle look back.
"Okay then." Gan Peilin nodded: "If you find it, let someone tell me." ”
"Okay." Jiang Yu led her from the crowd and slowly walked towards the direction of the carriage. The rest of the people didn't know what was going on, and they were still indulging in the joy of putting the lights on.
His brow furrowed slightly, and he was always vigilant.
Gan Peilin was still aware of this subtle change.
She stood by the carriage and looked at Jiang Yu intently: "Is it ...... What bad happened? ”
"How so." The corners of Jiang Yu's lips hooked slightly: "I'm here, who dares to make trouble." ”
"Anyway, you promise me that you must tell me if you have news of that girl." Gan Peilin always felt that something was wrong, so he had to add: "Whether it's good or bad." ”
"I promise you." Jiang Yu accompanied her into the carriage, and the carriage drove all the way to Ganfu.
Gan Peilin lifted the curtain to look at the night scene outside the car window, I don't know why, I miss the lights that fly with the wind.
"Let's go in by ourselves." Jiang Yu stayed in the carriage and did not get down.
Liulan helped Gan Peilin get out of the car.
"Thank you, Jiang Yu." Gan Peilin glanced at him before turning around and entering Gan's mansion.
Jiang Yu looked at her back, his eyes warmed.
At this time, Lu Yao also rushed over: "Master, I have searched all the neighborhood, but there is no clue." ”
"How is that possible?" Jiang Yu said unhappily: "A twelve-year-old girl, disappearing out of thin air, or under the nose of Ponturake?" ”
Lu Yao couldn't help but feel a hot face: "My subordinates will look for it again." ”
"Be sure to find it before dawn." Jiang Yu remembered Gan Peilin's worried look, and couldn't bear it: "Did you hear clearly?" ”
"Yes, master." Lu Yao immediately retired.
Jiang Yu sat silently in the carriage for a long time before reluctantly leaving.
