At the end of October, it was already very cold in the Chu country, and the wind was blowing impatiently, and people felt the cold wind when walking on the street, and they only felt that their legs and feet were numb and difficult to move.

On the long street, passers-by were in a hurry, and inadvertently, Lu Mingfeng saw an old man in ragged clothes curled up on the ground on the side of the street, like a dying old dog, looking really shabby and pitiful.

Lu Mingfeng's gaze stayed for a moment, Lu Yong also noticed the old man, and Lu Qinghe also turned his head to look, looking inexplicable.

Her cold and beautiful face is also like this wax moon day, frosty and quiet.

Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but pause, but looked at the third sister, she ...... A faint cold light shrouded his body. is as cold as the white rabbit in the Moon Palace, rejecting people for thousands of miles.

Lu Qinghe came back to her senses and saw that her sister was looking at her, and suddenly smiled at Lu Mingfeng a little unnaturally: "Sister, let's give that old man a little money, there is nothing to eat, I'm afraid he won't be able to survive the winter."

Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng looked back at her, and his mind moved slightly. Nodding to Lu Yong, he said, "Give him ten taels of silver."

Lu Yong answered the call and took a silver ingot of white flowers from the money bag and gave it to him.

The skinny old man nodded and thanked Lu Yong again and again, but he almost fell down because of excitement, looking embarrassed.

Before leaving, Lu Qinghe suddenly said with some amazement: "All living beings are suffering."

When Lu Mingfeng heard this, she suddenly walked towards the old man, and several people were shocked by her sudden move, and they all looked at her in a daze, only to see her walk over and help the old man up, let Lu Yong go over and book a room in a restaurant in front of him, and helped the old man to the guest room.

He was given a change of clean clothes and food for him. After dressing up, the old man actually showed a bit of elegant temperament, which made Lu Mingfeng slightly surprised.

Lu Qinghe didn't understand what her sister was doing, just because of her sentence that all living beings are suffering, did she do this? But I really don't understand the point of her doing this.

Lu Mingfeng was busy with everything, and then pulled Lu Qinghe and said: "See, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can change a lot of things, how old are you, you are full of sentient beings are suffering, you spend the same age, don't give up without daring to try anything, it is better to be born and die, so as not to live and suffer!"

Lu Mingfeng's words were sonorous and powerful, like a hammer hitting Lu Qinghe's heart, which shocked her heart and felt pain, she didn't come back to her senses for a long time, and looked at Lu Mingfeng in a daze.

My sister said...... Step up your game?

She was a little stunned, she didn't fully understand what Lu Mingfeng meant, but there were huge waves in her heart, and it was difficult to calm down for a while.

Compared with Lu Qinghe's stunned, the old man sitting on the side looked at Lu Mingfeng with a surprised expression, and there was a kind of hope in his eyes, which was completely different from the appearance he had curled up on the side of the road before, and there was indeed a look of hope in his eyes.

Lu Mingfeng didn't pay attention to her, her heart was full of Lu Qinghe's cold face that had broken through the red dust, her heart was painful and sour, she turned around and was about to go out, but she heard a dark and hoarse voice shouting: "Girl, wait!"

Lu Mingfeng turned around in surprise and saw an indigo robe, and the old man who looked clean and refreshing after cleaning his face and beard walked towards her politely.

Lu Mingfeng stood waiting for him to approach, and said with a smile: "What advice does the old gentleman have?"

Hearing this, the old man waved his hand again and again: "I don't dare to say advice, but I just listened to the girl's heartfelt words to this girl, and the old man was deeply touched, so ......"

He hesitated slightly, but as if he had made up his mind, he said to Lu Mingfeng: "The girl is young, but she can have such knowledge, it can be seen that she is not a layman, I don't know who the girl is?"

Who is she? Lu Mingfeng raised his eyebrows lightly, and said to him with interest: "If the old gentleman has something to say, it's better to say it directly, it's too boring to beat around the bush, isn't it?"

Seeing her so bold, the old man raised his head and stroked his beard and laughed, his voice was as bright as a breeze, and there was still the decadent and lifeless appearance that he had seen on the side of the road half a minute ago.

Without waiting for Lu Mingfeng to figure it out, he said aloud: "The old man knows that the girl is a person who wants to do great things, and those who achieve great things are not informal, seeing that there is no shortage of healthy people around the girl, but there are no poems and books to fill her stomach, talented people, I don't know if the girl lacks a bookkeeper?"

Mr. Bookkeeper? Lu Mingfeng muttered secretly in her heart, when it comes to Mr. Bookkeeper, she is really lacking, but he actually has the courage to recommend himself to be her Mr. Bookkeeper, I don't know what he can do.

She thought about it and asked, "What you say is interesting, Mr. Bookkeeper is not something that anyone can do, I don't know what Mr. Old Man did before?" Where do you work? ”

When asked about this, the old man was slightly stunned, this was a little embarrassing, she obviously saw herself on the side of the road, it can be seen that she was in a desperate situation, but he went into a desperate situation not because Jiang Lang was exhausted, or because he didn't have a smart plan, but because of some unspeakable things.

It's hard to explain his life experience, and he doesn't want to talk about many things. So when asked what he used to do and where he worked, the old man couldn't help but be speechless.

Lu Mingfeng seemed to be very hesitant when he saw him, although he was very short of Mr. Accounts, it didn't mean that he would be frizzy and find someone who didn't know the details to put by his side, this was not to help himself, but to harm himself.

Speaking of Mr. Ledger, on the surface, he is said to be Mr. Ledger, but in fact he is a strategist, a strategist who knows the root of the matter only someone dares to use it, like this kind of self-report family door does not dare, who dares to use it, in case of using a person whose identity is not clean, I am afraid that I will be dragged into the water by myself when the time comes.

Lu Mingfeng thought about it and no longer hesitated, said take care, and was about to take Lu Qinghe away, the old man hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth.

"Girl, slow down!" He shouted to Lu Mingfeng, walked over quickly, but because he hadn't eaten enough for too long, he was malnourished and unstable under his feet, and almost fell down directly.

Lu Mingfeng stretched out his hand to help him, and only then could he be stable.

He looked at Lu Mingfeng, his cloudy eyes were covered with water stains, and there was a faint bit of wisdom, and he made a trembling gesture to Lu Mingfeng: "Girl, it's not that I want to hide it, but because this matter is too secretive, the less people know about it, the better, but now you must know, I will tell you."

His voice was far away, as if it had come from a long time away, and she couldn't help but be frightened when she listened to it, but she listened quietly.

"The old man is an old staff member in the Four Princes' Mansion."

Such a short sentence is like a boulder thrown into the quiet lake, instantly stirring up a thousand waves.

The Four Princes? She is now in the imperial capital of Chu State, the fourth prince should be the fourth prince of Chu, and Xuanchi of the Dali Palace is also ranked fourth, but he was named Prince Jing early, so the person in the old man's mouth must not be him.

A face appeared in Lu Mingfeng's mind, the fourth prince of Chu had gone to the Great Calendar as an envoy with Princess Ruoyu before, she was still pregnant with Liujia at that time, and she had also seen them at several palace banquets.

Princess Ruoyu is reckless and rude, and the fourth prince of Chu is very inward-looking, and he seems to be very shrewd on the outside, but in fact, he is a person who has few poems and books in his belly, and does things without regard for his head and tail.

Lu Mingfeng really didn't have a good impression of him, the deepest impression was that Princess Ruoyu was interested in Gong Xuanchi, and when it came to Gong Xuanchi, Lu Mingfeng's heart was a little gloomy.

This time when they came to the Chu State, in order to avoid the place where the Chu State and the Great Calendar were fighting, they first took the waterway to bypass a section of the road and went to the Chu State.

She had long heard that Gong Xuanchi led the troops as a marshal, and now he was still confronting the two armies of Chu State, and she didn't know what happened to him now.

But she quickly pressed him back to the bottom of her heart, she looked at an old gentleman, and didn't ask why he didn't continue to be a staff member for the fourth prince of Chu, but he hung his head and said in a low voice.

"Girl, I also listened to your words, only to understand the stubborn things that have been stubborn for a lifetime, I was originally cast under the door of the four princes, I wanted to solve problems for him, what should be done as a staff, who knows that the four princes are just self-serving, in fact, no one listens to anyone's words, although the old man is old, but he can't resist the four princes, and he can't be reused for many years, and his heart is a little depressed, so this is ......"

The rest of the words are self-evident, Lu Mingfeng knew it in his heart, nodded at him, thinking that this time he came to Chu State to find Sister Nuo'er, this old gentleman has been under the door of the fourth prince of Chu for many years, and he should know a lot about the palace, if he can provide some things that they don't know, wouldn't it be twice the result with half the effort?

Thinking of this, she nodded at the old gentleman, who was overjoyed, he only hoped that his ambition would be rewarded, and he would not be unhappy anymore.

"The old man's surname is Zhuang, his name is Yan, and his name is Boyan, Miss can directly call me Zhuang Boyan in the future." Hearing this, Lu Mingfeng couldn't help laughing, how could she say it, what she lacked, God would give her something, so that something like a tiger would also fall on her, how could she not be happy.

"Mr. Zhuang doesn't have to be polite, my surname is Lu, and my name is Mingfeng. Mr. Zhuang can call me Miss Feng directly. ”

Mr. Zhuang also smiled politely at her, and when Lu Mingfeng introduced Mr. Zhuang to Lu Yong and the others, their expressions were able to swallow an egg.

But soon accepted this fact, after all, Miss never plays cards according to routines when she does things.

For this matter, it was quickly revealed.

came to Kyoto in Chu State and waited for a day, Lu Mingfeng and his party chartered a restaurant and settled in the restaurant that night.

At night, the wind poured into the house through the cracks in the window, and Lu Mingfeng wrapped the quilt tightly, still feeling very cold and couldn't sleep.

She suddenly understood why Princess Ruoyu liked it very much when she talked about the Great Calendar, and she had complained that the winter in the Chu State was really cold and sweltering, and it was estimated that it would be frozen in a few days.

Thinking of this, Lu Mingfeng suddenly felt that his back was very cold, and that feeling was like falling into the lake in the cold winter and soaking in the cold lake water.

Lying in bed, she remembered those days in her mind. She thought of Gong Xuanchi, Gong Jueyi, Mu Chu, and Murong Lingfeng.

There were many, many more people who lingered in her mind.

The memory paused in that night in Changyang Palace, when "Lu Mingfeng" frantically killed the eyeliner of various palaces in Changyang Palace, which made her really feel heartbroken.

I don't know why, although it wasn't her own consciousness control behavior at the time, but no matter what, that person is her, she is her.

She suddenly thought of something, thought of the pair of infinite strength, one hand lifted the purple smoke up, her heart couldn't help but rise slightly, she suddenly touched the colored stone around her neck, since the box was opened that day, she got the jade pendant, and the colored stone returned to the normal in the past.

There is nothing unusual about this, but the bystanders are clear, Lu Mingfeng vaguely feels that this stone hides a big secret, but what the secret is, she can't tell it for a while.

She simply got up, put on her coat, and wrapped herself casually, and Mei Sha appeared, she lit the oil lamp, and then obediently retreated.

The candlelight in the room flickered slowly. From time to time, the wind blows, and the shadows that beat all over the room, this is nothing to Lu Mingfeng, she likes it sometimes, and she has heard in books that this kind of stone generally has a strange space.

Thinking of this, she closed her eyes and pondered, her mind was all on the colored stone, thinking about what was in it, her head was almost about to hurt, and there was no strange space, and the colored stone almost didn't move.

Lu Mingfeng was busy for a long time, and suddenly felt a little deflated, lying on the table exhausted, she never thought that there was nothing after working for a long time, she couldn't help but be a little discouraged.

Suddenly, she suddenly remembered one thing, blood!

Why is she stupid, didn't Lu Mingfeng use blood to activate this stone before?

It seems that the correct way to open this colored stone is to use blood, thinking of this, Lu Mingfeng turned her heart sideways, bit her finger, and suddenly stabbed, her face wrinkled in pain, but she still hurriedly pressed her bleeding fingers on the colored stone.

A strange light burst out from the stone, and it immediately dazzled Lu Mingfeng's eyes.

She hurriedly covered her eyes, but her head seemed to be hit hard, and she was unconscious with a loud bang.

When she woke up again, she was lying on the bed, still wearing the coat she wore when she got up last night, Lu Mingfeng couldn't help but be surprised, what happened to her, what happened last night, how could she suddenly faint? What happened next? Wouldn't her blood be shed in vain!

Thinking of this, she felt a pain in her flesh, and she wanted to bite down on the stone hard, but found that although she was on the bed, she was not covered with a quilt, but her body did not feel cold at all, which surprised her.

She's not afraid of the cold? Or are you stupid? She thought and shook her head again and again, how could it be? Last night, she felt cold when she wrapped herself in the quilt, but she didn't feel cold when she wore a coat, what is the reason.

Thinking of this, she suddenly took off her coat and only wore a snow-white middle coat, if it was usual, she was probably already jumping up cold at this time, and she had to find a crack to get into, but ...... She didn't feel cold at all?

This made her wonder the most, could it be related to the colored stone? But in the past, this stone was also activated in the Great Calendar, but there was no such change, is it because this is the Chu State?

I have one layer of doubts in my heart, but I can't get answers.
