Chapter 444: Turmoil
The king was just on a whim, but the atmosphere at the banquet was much more lively, especially the young people who were a little bored before, pretending to be calm and coughing a few times, secretly straightening their waists, and a little gearing up.
Su Xiaoman also listened to the girls in the next seat persuade each other to go up and behave, and the crisp and agile girls laughed very pleasantly.
She held a wide sleeve in her left hand, picked up the hot tea in front of her with her right hand, and slowly put it into her mouth, using the wide cuffs to hide the smile on the corner of her mouth.
Su Xiaoman has already married a wife, and in just a few years, she was originally just an ordinary rural girl, but because of Lu Li, she has experienced a huge identity change, and it is precisely because of this that her relationship with Lu Li has become deeper and deeper. But even now, in the face of this youthful sprout, Xiao Man feels cute as a passerby, but also misses it.
The children of Bei'an City seemed to be born a little more free and bold, and without letting the king wait longer, a man volunteered to stand up, bowed respectfully to the king, and read a new poem aloud under the gaze of everyone, and his voice full of vigor and confidence sounded at the banquet.
Su Xiaoman also stopped looking left and right, listening carefully to the man's voice, and the lady next to her who had talked to her before saw Su Xiaoman's expression and leaned her head over again.
"County Lord, this is one of the best talents in our Bei'an City, Fu Kai, not only talented, but also honest and responsible, I heard that the king attaches great importance to this rookie."
In the end, the lady covered her mouth and whispered in Su Xiaoman's ear, and then, she showed a smile: "Let's Bei'an City, I don't know how many girls want to marry this Ruyi Langjun." ”
As soon as her words fell, as if to confirm what she said, there was a loud applause for Fu Kai at the dinner, and many girls in the boudoir were dyed red on their cheeks, looking at Fu Kai with peach blossom eyes, and even the king had an approving look.
"He is indeed a rare young talent." Su Xiaoman clapped his hands and nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Su Xiaoman agreed with her words, the lady's eyes lit up, and her spirit of speaking was even more sufficient, and she was about to open her mouth immediately.
"Who are the young talents?" A familiar deep voice came from above the two of them, its sound like an old cellar of wine, the longer it lasted, the more mellow it became.
The two of them immediately looked up, and sure enough, it was Lu Li, who didn't know when he had come here.
"That ......" The lady obviously recognized Lu Li, and glanced around the faces of Lu Li and Su Xiaoman, and spit out two bytes in embarrassment.
"It's just the boy who wrote the poem just now, let's mention it in passing. But you, don't sit down in the middle of the table, why did you get here? Su Xiaoman smiled and cleared the siege, and the lady who provoked her glanced at her gratefully.
Lu Li didn't answer immediately, he quietly glanced at the lady who was still looking at the two of them, that one was also a human spirit, and immediately understood, and left the seat with a random reason.
Lu Li hooked his lips with satisfaction and sat down beside Su Xiaoman.
Su Xiaoman felt helpless, and glanced at him: "If there is something, just talk about it, as for driving that lady away?" She had been talking to me for a while. ”
Who knew that Lu Li quietly moved his position, the two sat side by side, Lu Li relied on his hand length, hugged Su Xiaoman's whole person into his arms, buried his whole face in Su Xiaoman's pine-scented green silk, and muttered: "You are sitting too far away from me, talking and laughing with others, and looking at other men." ”
The moment she was hugged by Lu Li, Su Xiaoman's face burned red, she didn't dare to look up to see if there were many people around her watching their intimate movements at the moment, and she could only gently pat Lu Li's arm as a comfort. Her hand was hard to the touch, as if it had hit a pile of stones, which were the muscles left over by Lu Li's years of archery and horseback riding.
"Ahem." After a while, there was an abrupt and deliberate coughing sound next to the two, Su Xiaoman woke up suddenly, and when he raised his head, he saw Li Lin looking at their faces with a smile. Su Xiaoman subconsciously wanted to get up, but Lu Li didn't mean to let go of her at all, as if Li Lin didn't exist at all.
Su Xiaoman tugged at Lu Li's two hands, and finally let him let go of his arms. Lu Li glanced at Li Lin.
"Why don't you stay up there and drink the celebratory wine, what are you doing here?" Although it was a question, Lu Li's voice still didn't have too many ups and downs, and he didn't seem to care much about the result of Li Lin's answer.
However, Li Lin touched his nose, and he didn't know why, he always felt that Lu Li's eyes were a little dissatisfied when he looked at him. As for him, he didn't want to come over and disturb the two of them.
There was a complaint in his heart, and Li Lin still spoke relentlessly: "General Lu, you also said that it was a celebration wine, isn't this just about to drink, the king saw that you were missing this great hero, so how can he do it, so he ordered to come down to find you." And he will bring the county lord again and talk for a while in the inner sanctum at the back. ”
Since it was the king's order, the three of them did not delay any longer, and got up and prepared to go to the inner hall.
At this moment, the sky was a little dark, and the light was still bright compared to the time when it came, and now there was only a little afterglow of the sunset on the horizon, and when you walked out of the outer hall where the dinner was held, you still had to walk some distance on the cobblestone road to reach the inner hall, which looked not far away, but was not.
Gradually moving away from the bright lights in the outer hall, Li Lin led the way in front of Lu Li and Su Xiaoman, and at a distance from a pond in front of him, he could faintly hear the noise coming from the pond, and then walked in and listened, it seemed that the two women were entangled here, and there were a few pine trees between the pond and the stone road, so the specifics could not be seen really.
Although those few people gathered not far away, none of Su Xiaoman and his party had a strong curiosity, so they didn't plan to stop, but before the three of them walked too far, a sharp female voice that seemed to be enraged came from the side of the pond: "Lin Chutong, you forced me!" Immediately, a "pop" sound sounded from falling into the water.
When Su Xiaoman and the three of them heard the voice, their faces changed more or less, especially Li Lin, as the commander of the guards in the palace, if there was a serious safety accident in the palace, when it came to punishment, he would bear the brunt, especially when he was still present.
And the dinner held in the palace today, all the ministers of the court and their families were invited, and everyone's identity was not trivial, if something happened, not only Li Lin would be punished, but the palace would not be able to save face.
said that it was too late, in fact, from the moment he heard the sound of falling water, Li Lin had already turned around and rushed towards the pond, and Su Xiaoman immediately turned his head to keep up, but the speed was obviously unable to keep up with Li Lin, as for Lu Li, he followed behind Su Xiaoman to prevent other accidents.
When Su Xiaoman walked halfway, a louder "poof" sounded, and I don't know if Li Lin was jumping down to save people, Su Xiaoman mentioned it in his heart, took Lu Li's hand, and trotted over at a faster pace.
Passing through the pine trees, the first thing Su Xiaoman saw was two fluttering figures in the pond.
One was a woman, she didn't seem to be able to swim, she was constantly going up and down and struggling, and I could feel the swing of her arms getting smaller and smaller, probably because her strength was gradually running out. Fortunately, as she got closer and closer, Li Lin was speeding up and swimming towards her. Soon, Li Lin grabbed the woman, and after wasting some strength to stop her struggle, Li Lin slowly swam ashore with the woman. It wasn't until he personally helped Li Lin and the woman ashore that Su Xiaoman breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Lin, who was wet all over, saw the woman lying on the ground who had passed out, and couldn't take care of her own embarrassment, so she immediately pressed the woman's chest, and after a few strokes, the woman choked a few mouthfuls of water from her lungs, and her consciousness gradually woke up.
When Su Xiaoman paid close attention to Li Lin and the woman who was lying, Lu Li saw a woman standing not far from the pond, wearing a peach pink thousand butterfly skirt, but with a pale face, the pink and lively skirt made her face even more paper-colored, and when she found that in addition to Li Lin, there were two people coming over, the woman's forehead was faintly sweaty, and one foot unconsciously took a step back, obviously she had done something bad before, and at this moment, she saw someone who was a thief, and even wanted to run away.
Although I don't know what happened, this woman is obviously one of the two women who had been entangled before, thinking of the words they just heard, the reason why the woman in the pond fell into the water was obviously caused by the woman wearing a thousand butterfly skirts. Lu Li stared at the woman and said warningly: "Don't move!" ”
The woman in pink was glanced at by Lu Li's murderous eyes, and the whole person trembled with fear, no matter how anxious she was, her feet seemed to be filled with lead, and she couldn't lift her feet, so she stopped in place so honestly.
Although the pond here is not a place where people from the palace usually come often, it is not far from the stone road after all, and now that there is such a big commotion, a column of guards has already sensed that something is wrong and ran over.
"County Lord! General Lu! Lee-sama! The team leader at the top of the list saluted and greeted the people present one by one, and Su Xiaoman and Lu Li nodded.
Li Lin looked at the woman on the ground who was shivering slightly because of the cold, and ordered: "Hurry up and call a few maids in the palace to take this young lady to the side hall." "In fact, the best way is for Li Lin to carry her over, but after all, men and women can't kiss, and the situation was urgent before, and now if Li Lin continues to hold this woman, especially in front of so many guards, it may ruin this woman's reputation.
"In my name, go to the Tai Hospital and ask the imperial doctor to show this young lady, go quickly, don't delay on the way!" Su Xiaoman hurriedly added.
