It turned out that Lu Rongfeng lived in this city guard, and in the middle of the night, he heard someone knocking lightly on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was his daughter Lingque. Although Lu Rongfeng hated his daughter for being ignorant, he was worried about his daughter's safety after all, and now he saw his daughter coming back in a good manner, and he forgot his grievances for a while, and he felt overjoyed.

As soon as the father and daughter had not spoken a few words, Lingque said: "Daddy, I came back with Brother Lu this time to pick up the big boss, and Daddy will go with us." ”

Lu Rongfeng was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly deceived his daughter with words, and found an excuse to come out to Feng Junyang to report the news, and learned that he had come to Chennian, so he chased after him again.

After listening to this, Feng Junyang only felt a little empty in his heart, and only after a while did he say in a daze: "She really lied to me again,"

But no one could answer that. Shunping was worried about his toothache, and at a glance he saw that there seemed to be a piece of letter paper on the table next to him, so he hurriedly went over and took it, and said, "Lord Wang, Miss Xie left a letter,"

Feng Junyang unfolded the letter and looked at it through the candle flame that Shunping had brought over, and saw that there was only one line written on it: If you have a friend, go and go back, don't read it.

It is indeed the handwriting of Chen Nian.

Shunping boldly glanced at the word, breathed a sigh of relief, and persuaded Feng Jun Yang: "Lord relax, if Miss Xie is willing to leave the word, she will not sneak away." ”

Feng Junyang smiled bitterly, Chen Nian left this note, maybe he really just went out to explain things to Lu Xiao clearly, but it was also possible that he deliberately stayed to confuse him, so as to gain time to escape.

Shunping looked at his expression and knew that he couldn't let go of this heart, so he said: "If the prince is still worried about Miss Xie, it is better to find the spirit bird and ask." Since she came back with Lu Xiao, she should know where Lu Xiaoren is. Moreover, in case Miss Xie really wants to leave, according to her temper, she will never leave the sparrow behind. When the time comes......"

He didn't finish his words, and only used his eyes to look at Feng Junyang's face.

Feng Junyang stood silently for a moment, but said, "No need, let go of the sparrow." ”

As soon as these words came out, both Shunping and Lu Rongfeng were very surprised. Shunping hesitated for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "Then you have to send someone out to find Miss Xie,"

Feng Junyang shook his head, smiled lightly, and said, "No, I'll wait for her here." Go ye out and do not alarm others. ”

With that, he sat down on the edge of the bed. Since Chen Nian had said that they were going to try to trust each other, then he believed her. He let go and waited here for her to return.

Shunping sighed secretly, gave Lu Rongfeng and the maid a look, and the three of them lightly withdrew from the door, leaving Feng Junyang alone in the house. Shunping gently closed the door of the house, called Lu Rongfeng aside, and said in a low voice: "Although the prince said so, we can't do nothing." Leader Lu rest assured, the prince is a person with clear rewards and punishments, even if Miss Xie is really gone, he will not be angry with the spirit sparrow and embarrass your father and daughter. ”

When Lu Rongfeng heard this, he kept nodding.

Shunping thought for a while, and then said: "It's better to be like this, you pretend to be willing to go with them and see what the situation is." ”

Lu Rongfeng responded and hurriedly returned to his residence alone.

The spirit sparrow was waiting anxiously in the room, and when he saw his father coming back, he hurriedly greeted him and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, Uncle Jiang wants to go with us?"

Lu Rongfeng pretended to sigh and said, "I asked him sideways, but I would like to go back to the mountains again, but I don't want him to follow this prince to make contributions." I saw him like this, and I didn't dare to say anything, so I hurried back. ”

Where did the sparrow think that his father was lying to himself, and when he sighed like this, he persuaded instead: "Everyone has his own ambitions, and since he is willing to stay, then we will not care about him." ”

Lu Rongfeng nodded, and said: "Daddy was confused for a while, so he made eyeliner for the prince, and he has been blaming himself and regretting it in his heart. You said the big boss could really forgive me,"

The sparrow was bent on pulling his father out of the quagmire, and when he heard the words, he said: "Daddy, don't worry, what kind of temper the big boss is, you don't know yet, don't worry, she won't hold a grudge against her father." She said, paused, and then whispered: "If the big boss refuses to forgive, then our father and daughter will go elsewhere, the world is big, and there is always a place for us." ”

Lu Rongfeng seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Okay, Daddy will go with you." ”

His father and daughter simply packed their bags and went out secretly. Shunping had already greeted the secret guards in the house, and no one went to stop the two of them. The two of them went out of the city guard mansion smoothly, picked a secluded path and walked, secretly climbed over the city wall and walked seven or eight miles north, and then they arrived at the small forest where Lingque and Lu Xiao met.

The bonfire in the forest was still there, and a few mounts were tied to the trees on the side, but Chen Nian and Lu Xiao were nowhere to be seen. Lingque said strangely: "Their feet should be faster than the two of us, why haven't they arrived?"

Lu Rongfeng was also surprised, so he said: "It may be almost there, just wait for a while." ”

The Lu father and daughter were anxiously waiting for Chen Nian and Lu Xiao to arrive in the forest, but they didn't know that the two were in the south of Yiping City at the moment.

There is a hill not far from the southwest of Yiping, there is a restaurant named Wangjianglou on the top of the mountain, because it is high in the river, the scenery is excellent, it often attracts the literati and ink writers to come here to drink and enjoy the scenery, leaving countless poems and ink treasures, this is extremely lively. It wasn't until He Ze led the army to attack Yiping a while ago that the business of this restaurant became bleak. The owner of the restaurant was afraid that it would be affected by the war, so he simply closed the restaurant and returned to his hometown in Jiangnan with his family.

Because Lu Xiao wanted Chen Nian to accompany him to admire the moon, Chen Nian thought of this, specially brought him over, and said with a smile: "Let's also learn to be elegant and enjoy the moon in the river." ”

Lu Xiao smiled and replied, "Okay." ”

Chen Nian looked up at the sky Haoyue, and said, "You go to the top of the building first and wait, I'll go to the backyard to steal wine." I've heard people say that there is good wine hidden in the back cellar, but I don't know if there is still one. ”

This restaurant is not only famous for a long time, but also has a good view and a good collection of wine. After a while, Chen Nian touched the decades-old wine from the wine cellar in the backyard, jumped on the roof of the building, threw it to Lu Xiao, and said with a smile: "You always look down on our Central Plains wine, taste it, this is worse than your Xian's wine,"

Lu Xiao took it, slapped the mouth of the altar, raised his head and poured a few sips, and couldn't help but praise: "Good wine." ”

Chen Nian smiled, walked over and sat down beside him, saw Lu Xiao hand over the wine jar, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, I don't dare to drink such strong wine." ”

Lu Xiao knew that Chennian had a shallow amount of alcohol, and he was not reluctant, so he only drank alone. After a while, he suddenly asked her, "I really have made up my mind, follow him,"

Chen Nian nodded and said softly, "Hmm." ”

Lu Xiao glanced at her from the corner of his eye, took two more sips of wine, and then said: "After reading your letter, I know that you have never let go of him in your heart." ”

Chen Nian once asked Wen Daya to bring a letter to Lu Xiao, asking him to help find a place for them to settle outside the gate, which also showed that she would not go over and did not need to wait for her.

"I didn't write that letter with the intention of reconciling with him, but I just felt that I shouldn't bother you anymore. It's best to go away alone and fly high, without worries, and at ease. Chen Nian explained, after a moment of silence, said, "I'm sorry. ”

Lu Xiao said with a smile: "What are you apologizing for, this matter of love between men and women is the most unreasonable." I just didn't give up, that's why I came to see you. He paused and whispered, "To be honest with you, in fact, looking at you like this, I feel like I have suddenly rested from a heavy burden, and I feel much more relaxed." You give me an excuse to give up, and I can say, you see, it's not that I don't work hard, but that I can't force my feelings. ”

Chen Nian smiled, and didn't want to talk to him about it again, so he changed the topic and asked him, "How does Tuoba Yao treat Yunsheng?"

Lu Xiao replied: "Very good." Wang treats Yunsheng very well. ”

Chen Nian felt a little relieved in his heart, but he couldn't help but ask: "Then why can't you make her the queen, who is blocking it?"

"This involves the struggle between the old and new tribes of the royal court, and several tribes have been opposing Li Yunsheng as the queen, saying that although she is the bloodline of the princess of Yashan, half of the bloodline comes from Xihu, and the blood of our Xian family's own noble daughter is pure. Speaking of which, I was also curious, as if someone was making a hindrance and deliberately instigating a dispute between the two sides. ”

As he spoke, he went to look at Chen Nian again and asked, "Guess who I saw in the Murong Department,"

"Who," Chen Nian couldn't help asking.

Lu Xiao replied, "Fan Jingyun." He was transfigured, but I saw him as him. ”

Fan Jingyun was the leader of Feng Junyang's fine work in the Xian clan, and it was not strange to see him in the Murong Department. But Lu Xiao deliberately mentioned him out, Chen Nian thought about it, and then asked: "Is Murong Ministry against Li Yunsheng as the queen?"

Lu Xiao said: "Yes, the Murong tribe is the most fiercely opposed tribe, and their power has increased greatly in recent years, even the king has to be a little jealous." ”

Chen Nian suddenly understood that Feng Junyang didn't want the He family to fall to the Xian family, so naturally he didn't want Yun Sheng to become the queen of the Xian family. It's just that Yunsheng is the most innocent. Chen Nian knew that Feng Junyang had always acted by unscrupulous means, and this matter involved the dispute in the world, although he did not agree with his approach, he could understand it.

Chen Nian was silent for a moment and asked, "Does Tuoba Yao know?"

Lu Xiao said: "The king already knows, but that Fan Jingyun is very cunning and has not caught him." The Murong clan refused to admit it, and only bit Yun Sheng's impure bloodline to death, and made her the queen, who was not as good as the noble daughter of the eight major clans of the Lixian clan. ”

Chen Nian couldn't help but smile when he heard this, and asked Lu Xiao, "Is the Murong family also a noble girl to be married?"

Lu Xiao smiled: "You are really smart, you guessed their thoughts at once." The Murong clan obviously wanted to marry their daughter, but it was difficult to say it clearly, so they pushed the eight major clans out first, which made them also moved. ”

Tuoba Yao originally relied on the support of the emerging tribe to ascend to the throne, in order to obtain the support of the old nobles of the Xian clan, so he went to find the spirit bones and the orphans of the princess. I don't want the spirit bones and the orphans of the princess to be found, and the eight major clans are finally willing to recognize his throne, but these new tribes who support him refuse to agree to Li Yunsheng as the queen.

Chen Nian couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that it is just a fight for a queen, in the final analysis, it is also a struggle for power." ”

Lu Xiao said: "Feng Junyang is fueling the troubles. ”

Chen Nian raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, and after a while, he said: "Since he has done this, he has his reason, and I believe in him." ”

Lu Xiao smiled and didn't continue.

Chen Nian pointed to the bright moon on the river, and smiled with him: "Look, how can I see that the moon in the river is brighter than the one in the sky," she just finished speaking, but she said softly, "Huh", and said strangely: "It seems that there is a boat on the river." ”
