The group walked slowly until the sun set below the horizon, the sky gradually darkened, and a black silhouette that looked like a behemoth appeared in Zhong Yu's field of vision. The veteran came to Zhong Yu's side again behind www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion and whispered, "Young man, there is Pingshan City in front." ”

Zhong Yu nodded to indicate that he understood. The group walked for a while before they came to the city, Zhong Yu wanted to find an inn to live in, but the veteran stopped Zhong Yu: "Young man, almost all the inns in this town are crowded with imperial soldiers, and there are even many soldiers who have no place to live and can only sleep on the street at night, so no matter how you look for it, it is impossible to find an inn to live in this town." ”

Zhong Yu was a little helpless when he heard this, but the veteran smiled and said, "But I can help you find a place to live." Zhong Yu didn't refuse, after all, Rouxin really needed a bed to rest, he continued to walk with a few people, and after about a meal, the veteran took Zhong Yu to the City Lord's Mansion, and the others had already left.

The veteran turned to look at Zhong Yu and said, "Young man, you wait here, I'll go in and talk to the city lord about what happened today, he knows that after you saved the lives of ten of us, he will definitely let you live in the city lord's mansion for one night." Zhong Yu nodded when he heard this, and the old soldier walked straight in, and the soldier guarding the door seemed to know this person, so he didn't stop him.

Zhong Yu stood quietly outside with his soft heart on his back, at this moment the sky was completely dark, and the city lord's mansion was lit with white light, Zhong Yu guessed that the lantern should have just been lit inside, and it didn't take long for the veteran to come out, he came to Zhong Yu and smiled: "The city lord said he wanted to see you." ”

Zhong Yu nodded and followed him into the city lord's mansion, through several courtyard gates, after walking a few corridors, Zhong Yu followed the veteran to a room, the veteran took Zhong Yu in, this is a study, three shelves are lined with books of different thicknesses.

There was only one middle-aged man in the room, he was slightly handsome, with two mustaches on his mouth, and his hair was very neatly tied into a bun, fixed with a wooden hairpin. The man watched Zhong Yu walk in with a person on his back, and couldn't help but look puzzled.

However, he didn't take the initiative to ask this, but said with a smile: "This little brother is the one who saved my ten subordinates, right?" Zhong Yu nodded with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "I just saw that a few of them were in trouble so they came to the rescue, I didn't want to trouble the city lord, but I heard that there is no inn in this town that can be lived, so I cheekily came over and asked the city lord to help." ”

The city lord laughed when he heard this: "Although the housing is indeed a little nervous, but since you saved the lives of ten of them, little brother, then I will help you with this question no matter what, I have always had a question I want to ask little brother." ”

When the last sentence was spoken, the city lord's eyes looked at the soft heart on Zhong Yu's back, Zhong Yu smiled and told the city lord what he had said to the old soldier again, the city lord did not doubt it after hearing it, he looked at the old soldier and said: "Since that little brother has been trapped like this, then Lao Chang, you should quickly take them to the west courtyard, there is still a room empty." ”

The soldier named Lao Chang respectfully agreed, Zhong Yu left the study with Lao Chang after saying goodbye, and after the two left, the city lord called another person and ordered: "Send someone to monitor the every move of those two people tonight, and if there is anything suspicious, come directly to report to me." ”

"Yes!"

Zhong Yu followed Lao Chang to a courtyard with a few corridors, this courtyard was huge, there were more than ten houses, two pavilions, and more than a dozen tall green trees were planted in the courtyard, Zhong Yu couldn't help but look at Lao Chang and asked, "Is this courtyard uninhabited?"

Lao Chang took Zhong Yu to the second floor of an attic and replied: "Of course not, there were several generals in the army who lived before, but today I heard that there are several big people who are coming here, so I temporarily vacate them to live." Zhong Yu was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Who is it?"

Lao Chang opened the door of a room and walked in first, and replied: "I don't know about this, these rooms have been cleaned by the maidservants this afternoon, and the beds have been replaced with new ones, you and the young man will be in this room tonight, I'm really sorry, the house is really tense, so I can only let you live in one." ”

Zhong Yu smiled: "I understand, one room is enough, you don't have to blame yourself." Lao Chang laughed twice and said a few words of apology before leaving, Zhong Yu put Rouxin on the bed at this moment, and those beds exuded a faint fragrance, which was the smell of cloth and satin that had only been made for a short time.

Zhong Yu looked around the room, where four lanterns hung on the walls, and the white gauze paper rendered the dim glow of the candles as pure white, as bright as moonlight. Zhong Yu opened the window and looked around, where he could see most of the scenery of the City Lord's Mansion, and a crescent moon hung high in the sky.

A few faint stars dotted around the crescent moon, and a quiet night scene appeared in front of Zhong Yu, and at this moment, a slightly arrogant voice came into Zhong Yu's ears: "What do you say, let me squeeze in that kind of shabby room all night? Do you know who I am? My father is General Mingyuan, and you actually let me live in that kind of dirty and smelly place." ”

A slightly weak woman's voice replied, "There's really no way, almost all the places where the City Lord's Mansion can stay tonight are crowded with people. "I don't care, I will never live in that kind of place, you hurry up and find a way for me, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind to you." ”

At this time, another man's voice sounded: "Haoyuan, you be quiet, if the princess hears it, be careful that she scolds you, besides, didn't you have to rush to live in that place just now?" The arrogant voice heard the man's words and suddenly retracted a little, but it was still very arrogant: "Just now... Didn't the city lord just say that there are not enough rooms in the west courtyard? There must be one of us who will be separated, and I'll just... I'm just—" "You just want to show it in front of the princess." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm for your own good, you don't thank me, forget it, but ridicule me?" The man replied when he heard this: "Anyway, you grabbed it by yourself just now, if you regret being known by the princess and the second prince now, then what will be your status in their hearts?"

When the arrogant man heard this, he immediately stopped talking, and after a while, he said with some resentment: "But that place is too bad, I didn't know what kind of people lived before, and I couldn't stay in that smell for a short while." "No way, just bear with it all night. ”

Zhong Yu obviously heard a hint of schadenfreude in this sentence, and after the man's voice fell, the woman's voice rang out: "Two sons, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first." "Hey, wait, just now the city lord said that there is a room in this west courtyard for someone else to live in, who is that?"

When the woman heard this, she replied directly: "This slave doesn't know either. When the arrogant man heard this, he suddenly became angry again: "I don't know, then I guess those two people should have no identity, you go and ask them to move to other places, and say that my son of General Mingyuan asked him to give me the room." ”

"What?" "If you dare to obey my orders, I only need to say one word to you and your family, and your life will be over." The other man also seemed to think that this person's approach was a bit excessive, and he couldn't help but persuade: "Haoyuan, you better don't make trouble, have you forgotten how His Majesty the Emperor explained when we came out?"

"No, no, no, I can't stay there tonight anyway, or I'll die of misery, and I'm going to settle that room, and you! The maidservant seemed a little embarrassed when she heard this: "But... But that room was ordered by the lord of the city to live in it, and I couldn't go there. ”

"What? I..." "Ahhh

Zhong Yu, a man next to him, could see the side face, looking a little gentle and elegant, just when his left hand was about to fall, the man hurriedly grabbed his wrist and said sharply: "Haoyuan! What are you going to do?!You should know that Her Royal Highness the princess hates to see others bullying maidservants!"

The man with his back to Zhong Yu seemed to suddenly remember something when he heard this, and hurriedly looked around, but he still said, "What are you afraid of, the princess can't see it." After saying this, the man looked at the maid again: "If I let you go, you will go, and if the city lord blames, you will say that I made you do it." ”

"This..."The servant girl was still hesitant when she heard this, and the man snorted coldly and took out a few silver coins from his shirt and handed them to the woman: "That's all right." Before the woman could react, there were a few more silver coins in her hand.

When she reacted, her face was even more embarrassed, as if she wanted to return it, but she was a little afraid that the other party would be angry. "Since he is willing to give you the money for nothing, then you can take it. The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this voice.

I saw a delicate-looking man standing on the courtyard wall not far from them at some point, the crescent moon hanging over the man's head, and the maid had the feeling that the man was falling from the moon at this moment.

The arrogant man known as Hao Yuan frowned, looked up and down for a while, and asked dissatisfiedly: "Who are you, you dare to eavesdrop on us, do you know that it is very rude to do so." ”

The corners of Zhong Yu's mouth hooked a trace of arc when he heard this: "Oh? I am rude to do this, it is not as good as you, the room is obviously inhabited, and you want to drive out the people who live there." Hao Yuan was immediately angry when he heard Zhong Yu's ridicule: "Do you know who I am, I dare to talk to me like this, and besides, does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"What a coincidence, this really has something to do with me. The three of them were stunned for a moment when they heard this, but the three of them reacted immediately, and Hao Yuan sneered and said: "Since you are that person, it's simple, you should also hear my identity, move away quickly." ”

Zhong Yu jumped down from the wall of the courtyard and looked at Hao Yuan: "What if I say I won't move?" Hao Yuan was stunned at first when he heard this, and then showed an expression of disbelief, he didn't expect that the other party would dare to go against him after knowing his identity, he couldn't help but say that sentence again: "Do you know who I am?"
