The roof tiles of Bianjing City are continuous, and the trouble of candle flames is often there. The night is shrouded, and the taverns and restaurants on both sides of the street outside the Suzaku Gate gradually disappear from the hustle and bustle and return to peace. The spring rain did not stop, the night wind cut the face, Lu Muqing held the gong in his hand, and shouted majestically every hundred steps: "The fire ban is coming!" Jia Chongjiu carried a lantern with him, and he looked around, and if he saw a glimmer of light in the house, he rang the fire bell to alert him.

Walking to Lu Xiang's mansion, there are two small lamps burning in front of the door, which are the only light within a radius of several miles. The two little servants stood in the gatehouse and looked out the window, saw Lu Muqing walking slowly, muttered a few words, took out the food box from the tea cabinet, opened the door to welcome the street, and said: "Young Master Tang, the old lady prepared a supper for you, saying don't be hungry." Another little guy took a coat and a hat and put it on Lu Muqing's body, "It's weird and cold, the old lady said that you must drink ginger soup." ”

Lu Muqing let out an "um" and handed the food box to Lu Chongjiu, "The old lady is healthy?" ”

"Recently, it has been cold in spring, and the old lady's leg hurts, so she has asked the imperial doctor to administer an injection." The little guy replied and quietly stood to the side. Lu Muqing threw the hat to Lu Chongjiu and walked forward, "Tell the old lady that I am fine, and I will go back to the house to eat with her in a few days." ”

"Yes."

When the time comes, in the dead of night, Yuefu is deep and dark. Le Yi couldn't sleep, tossing and turning on the couch and couldn't sleep, occasionally heard a cat crying under the window, and it was interesting for a while, so she lit the soybean oil lamp with a flint, and looked for the lantern outside. This room was originally a place where the five courtyards were stacked with sundries, and its owner, Le Jiao, had never set foot here, and before Le Yi came, it had always been the nest of wild cats in the house. Wild cats are not afraid of people, they are dressed in black hair, their eyes are blue and green, and they are staring at Le Yi.

Leyi has walked around the countryside and mountains since she was a child, and she has seen tigers, leopards and jackals, and even once raised two little wolf dogs. She squatted down happily, reached out to scratch the black cat, and couldn't help but smile on her face, "Little thing, it turns out that you are making trouble." ”

The black cat ducked back, ran away in a gray manner, and disappeared in an instant.

Le Yi was about to turn around, when a cold wind blew, she raised her eyes and saw a cat figure squatting on the dark corner tower in the distance, as if waiting for her. Her heart moved, and she couldn't help but chase after her, and when she climbed the corner tower, the black cat jumped on the beam and landed on the wall. Le Yi raised the lamp to shine on the black cat, and was about to speak, when he suddenly heard a loud shout outside the wall: "The fire ban is coming, be careful of the fire candle!" ”

Bludler hurriedly blew out the lamp, and did not dare to move while pestle.

After a while, a word came from outside the wall, and a man muttered, "This seems to be Lord Le's mansion." After a pause, his tone suddenly became oily and smooth, and he said with a smile: "I heard that there is a little lady with yellow silk in Yuefu, I don't know what it looks like?" Last time, you risked your life to save Lord Le's life, and I heard a few adults in the military division mention it in their spare time, Lord Le can intentionally promise your daughter to you! ”

Le Yi was so frightened that she didn't have time to react, when she heard another man say: "Is it child's play for men and women to get married?" It is my duty for me to save him, and I don't expect him to reciprocate. The sound of rain was pouring, his voice was still cold in the quiet night, he walked farther and farther, and gradually lost his sound, Le Yi quietly went downstairs, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart.

Before dawn the next day, she heard a commotion outside, and Le Yi didn't know the rules of the house, thinking that everyone in the house had the habit of getting up early, so she got up and dressed and sat quietly in the room waiting for the maid to come in and serve.
