Chapter 267: Adventure
In the dead of night, it seems that the birds and insects have rested, and there is no sound. Only the wind passed through the treetops, and the occasional rustle of leaves could be heard.
The moon was hidden in the clouds, and the only light and dim lanterns flickered under the eaves at night.
There was a dark shadow, but it slid out of the window quickly and silently, and jumped onto the roof, watching the patrol cautiously, holding its breath and discerning the direction.
If King Ning is also in Zongzheng Temple, then he will definitely be able to find him.
In his heart, he reviewed the pattern of Zongzheng Temple.
Like a nimble swallow, it spreads its wings across the silent night sky.
His figure staggered, like a cat with a cushion under his feet, and landed silently on the tiles.
If it's not the North Garden, then it's possible to be in the South......
He had to rush back before the night patrol people found his room......
Suddenly, the light of a torch shone in the direction of his hideout.
Li Xuanyi held his breath and condensed, and disappeared his figure in the night.
"Let's go, Xiyuan is the point! I heard that King Jing can kill people with one punch, and his temper is very bad, King Ning is gentle, even if he is imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, he has never been angry at the guards! The guard's whispering voice at his companion penetrated Li Xuanyi's ears.
"I see the leaves moving here!" The other guard whispered.
"What nonsense! When the emperor was the first emperor, there were relatives who died here, don't scare people! The guards who persuaded him said nervously.
The guard, who came with torches, immediately stood still, "Are you scaring people, or am I scaring people?" ”
The first guard quacked, "Scared, look at your rat guts!" ”
"Who's afraid?" When the guard heard this, he stepped forward again.
"But I didn't lie to you, there was really a clan member who died here, and he was sealed before he died, and then I heard that his tomb was dug up, do you think his soul will come back here?"
The guard immediately felt a gust of wind blow behind his head, and the hairs on his body stood upside down, and he felt as if some ghost he couldn't see was looking at him with teeth and claws in the darkness.
"Let's go! Nothing happens here......"
The two of them walked away quickly.
Li Xuanyi flickered from the shadows and floated towards Nanyuan.
Sure enough, in the South Garden, in an independent small courtyard, it was heavily guarded, and the lanterns under the eaves were swaying in the wind.
Li Xuanyi's figure flickered in the dark.
The guards rubbed their eyes, yawned, and straightened up, peering into the endless darkness in all directions.
The moon shines pale through the clouds.
The quiet courtyard casts the shadows of the trees, like aquatic plants floating in the water.
The doors and windows of some place were not closed, and there was a slight "squeak".
The night breeze was slightly cool, blowing the eyelids of the guards, and there was a fight.
"Check the night!" Outside King Jing's courtyard, the voice of the patrol guard was heard.
The guards guarding the outside of the room, a spirit, came out of his half-asleep and completely awakened.
He looked back into the room, where it was silent.
"Check the night!" The guards on patrol walked into the courtyard as they spoke.
The guard guarding the door yawned and said, "King Jing fell asleep early in the morning, and he is still asleep inside!" ”
The patrol guard nodded, stepped forward slowly, pushed the door open a crack, and glanced in, and saw a figure on the bed, lying quietly with his back to the door.
The guard withdrew his hand and turned to leave.
But he had just taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, frowning slightly.
"No...... right"
"What's wrong?" The guard asked in surprise when he heard this.
But the guard did not answer, but immediately turned to the door, and stretched out his hand to push the door.
The guard stopped him, lowered his voice, and said, "What are you doing?" Wouldn't it be better to check the night and see people inside! This is Zongzheng Temple, do you think it's a prison? The people who live here are all clan relatives, and they are depressed today, and they can't say that they will come back tomorrow, just do their duty, don't offend people! ”
The guard pushed him away, "What if the man is not in there?" ”
The guard took two steps back before standing firm, sneered, and said, "Why don't you come to patrol the night before you wake up?" It's King Jing who is locked up here, with iron chains and shackles! People aren't in it? Oh, what a joke! ”
The leader of the night guard ignored him and reached out to push the door open.
The light under the eaves, the moonlight is cast into the house.
As soon as the person on the bed turned over, the chain rattled, and he snorted dissatisfiedly, "In the middle of the night, don't let people sleep?" What is the noise? ”
"King Jing forgives sins!" The guards quickly withdrew from the house.
It's good that people are here, it's really a false alarm. The light was too dim just now, and he was dazzled.
The night is quiet, the shadows of the trees are swaying, and occasionally a nightingale's cry and chirping are heard far away, which makes the night even quieter.
The moon jumped out from behind the clouds, and the light of the moon fell to the ground, as if it had covered the earth with a silver veil.
Under this silver veil, it was as if nothing had happened.
A few days later, Yushitai came again to inquire about King Ning and King Jing.
King Ning finally couldn't bear the huge pressure and admitted that he was greedy for money to repair the river.
The saint was shocked when he heard this, and he personally summoned King Ning with a heartache.
King Ning wept bitterly, confessed his transgression, and begged the Holy One for forgiveness.
King Jing admitted that he was also somewhat involved in this matter, and he also bought land in Lishan to build another courtyard.
Ning Wang Dao, during his time in Zongzheng Temple, reflected on his own mistakes, and felt that he had failed the expectations of the saints, and he was even more ashamed of the people in the lower reaches of the Chu River.
The sincerity of King Ning's attitude of admitting his mistake is contrary to the resoluteness of not admitting it at the beginning, and the contrast is so great that the saint did not expect it.
The saint looked at him in shock, trying to see the unwillingness and calculation on his face. But from King Ning's warm face, he could only see repentance and a little decadence.
The Holy One asked him to return to Zongzheng Temple, put the sin in his heart into writing, and observe his attitude of admitting his mistakes, and then send it out.
King Jing's accomplice, because of his good attitude of admitting his mistakes, was released to his home and 500 households were recovered. He was dismissed from his official position, ordered to think about it at home, and handed over a fine to help the victims.
King Jing was released from Zongzheng Temple.
King Ning was still locked up in it to write a book of guilt.
When Li Xuanyi finally returned to his home, standing in his yard, breathing the free air, watching his wife and children running towards him with joy on their faces.
He really thinks that this is a good deal! What is a food town, what is an official position, as long as you can be with your loved ones, the family is happy, which is more precious than anything else.
"Aye!" Li Ningxin pounced on Li Xuanyi's thigh.
Li Zhen stumbled behind, and refused to show weakness.
It's a pity that he is younger than his sister after all, and maybe the cerebellum is not as developed as his sister, so he didn't know what he tripped under his feet, so he went straight to the ground.
The nurse didn't have time to hold him, only to see that he was still two steps away from Li Xuanyi.
The orchid grass beside Li Ningxin was close and pulled him up.
Li Zhen pouted and wanted to cry.
Liang Yan said with a smile: "I think it's our Zhen'er who misses Aya more, and when Aya comes back, he will be busy with the gift of the five bodies!" ”
Li Xuanyi also smiled and said: "Zhen'er's gift Aya has accepted it!" ”
After speaking, he held his son and daughter in his arms, and his heart was full for a while.
Probably understood his father's words, Li Zhen rubbed his eyes, sniffed, and really didn't cry.
Even Li Ningxin teased him, but he didn't take it to heart.
I coaxed the two children and had a meal with them.
finally had time for the couple to be alone.
Li Xuanyi hugged Liang Yan tightly in his arms, his chin rested on her shoulder, "It's better to be at home, it's better to have you." ”
Liang Yan also hugged him tightly, "Yes, it's good to have you!" When you weren't there, everything seemed to have changed in King Jing's Mansion, becoming deserted and barren, and becoming confusing. ”
The two had a long talk about their lovesickness.
Liang Yan remembered, "Now that you're back, King Ning won't be able to come out in a long time, right?" ”
Li Xuanyi was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly, "It really makes you guess the mind of the saint correctly, even so defensive against his own son, this son of the saint is really tired to sit!" ”
Liang Yan smiled, "The saint is not tired, we don't need to worry about it, but the saint's mind and this way to deal with it are really not what I came up with." ”
Li Xuanyi looked at her suspiciously, "Is it your father-in-law?" ”
Liang Yan shook her head, "Maybe it's because the authorities are fascinated and the bystanders are clear?" ”
"Bystanders?" Li Xuan thought for a while, and slowly shook his head, "I can't guess who it is." ”
Liang Yan smiled and said: "It's strange to be able to guess, you shouldn't know the person, now you are in the guest room, how can you say that it is also the person who saved you out, don't you go to see it?" ”
Li Xuanyi nodded and said, "It's time to meet." ”
Liang Yan didn't go along, she had already done an acupuncture for Su Pu today.
Li Xuanyi went to the courtyard of the guest room.
I stayed for two hours.
It is unknown what he and Su Pu talked about, but when he came back from the guest room, the calmness on his face, and even a faint joy Liang Yan could feel it.
"Mr. Su is very knowledgeable and a rare talent." Li Xuanyi sighed with emotion and held Liang Yan's hand, "Madame, isn't it my lucky star who came to me to bring me luck?" ”
Liang Yan smiled, "Who knows, maybe it's it!" ”
The prince's party, perhaps never expected that King Ning, who had always pretended to be high, cleared his name, and cherished his feathers, would admit to being greedy for ink, and wrote a long scroll of guilty letters, announcing to the world that he would take the responsibility for the flooding of the Chu River on himself.
And he asked himself to relinquish all his duties, and return to his home and plough, that he might taste the hardships of the people, and that he might forgive the guilt of his own body.
The Holy Lord was very happy to accept his guilty letter, and recovered 3,500 households from King Ning's food estate, and asked King Ning to fill the deficit in the treasury caused by disaster relief.
Although King Ning has returned home.
The days of the Koning Palace's palace are really stretched.
King Jing didn't know if it was to avoid suspicion or other reasons, so he didn't come to comfort King Ning, but asked someone to send a short letter to show comfort.
