08 | The storm is back

I can't wait to return to it, and my stomach has to be counted separately.

After hearing Pu Jia say that she was going to eat osmanthus cake, a special snack in Jiangzhou City, this morning, the demon immediately became interested.

The three of them left the inn side by side, led the way by Pu Jia, and went straight to the breakfast shop.

Walking on the street, the demon found that the people of the two states had very different cultural customs.

Not to mention anything else, just their attitude towards snow - the people in Zhongzhou will regard snow as a gift from heaven to the earth, so no matter what, they will not sweep away the snow, but let the snow be pressed layer by layer, and the city and everything will be dissolved into silver. The people of Jiangzhou City are more advocating the unity of heaven and man, no matter the wind, frost, rain or snow, they must keep their minds clean and clear.

This is also the reason why Jiangzhou City does not see high-rise buildings and many gardens, only anytime and anywhere to put yourself under the dome, in the middle of all things, in order to feel the subtlety of listening to the sound of heaven and earth anytime and anywhere.

After a short time, the three of them came to the Shili White Causeway, which Jiangzhou City is most proud of.

"Demon, do you know what kind of tree is planted on both sides of the ten-mile white causeway?" Pu Jia asked.

"Osmanthus tree." The demon said.

"How do you know?" Pu Jia was a little surprised.

"That's it." Mu Yu was also curious, "It's the depths of winter now, and this tree has neither bloomed nor produced leaves, how did you recognize it?" ”

"Because I smell the fragrance of osmanthus cake." Demon Dao.

Hearing this, Pu Jia and Mu Yu looked at each other, and they didn't know what to say for a while.

The three of them walked on the white causeway, and on one side was a frozen canal, meandering away with the trend of the white embankment; On one side is a chic forest garden building, which is wantonly extravagant towards the inner city. The demon smelled the faint fragrance of osmanthus cake in the air, and couldn't wait to walk in front, while Pujia and Muyu followed behind her without saying a word.

"Pu Jia, you should know how to get to the Vientiane Gate, right?" Mu Yu asked in a low voice.

Pu Jia nodded, but did not speak.

"The demon is greedy and playful, we can let her be. But shouldn't we get down to business first? Mu Yu frowned.

"Are you relieved to leave her alone in the city?" Pu Jia asked softly.

"Then I'll accompany her in the city, and you can go find them yourself......" Even Mu Yu himself felt that it was not appropriate to do so, and his voice gradually became inaudible.

"The Dementor Bell is the treasure of the Vientiane Sect, and no one can use it except their head." Pu Jia continued, "So my plan is to take her to eat, drink and be merry in the city first, and when the head of the Vientiane Gate personally comes out and invites us, we can naturally bring the demon and visit us." ”

"And when do you have to wait?" Mu Yu asked.

"Wait until the wind picks up." Pu Jia Road.

"Windy?" Mu Yu was puzzled.

"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed." Pu Jia raised her head and looked at the sky, a wisp of distant thoughts flowed in her eyes, as if she was waiting for a gust of wind, and it seemed that she was recalling a long past.

"You two are grinding in the back, muttering something unseemly?" The demon's menacing voice reached the ears of the two people.

Only then did the two realize that the demon who was only thinking about the osmanthus cake had already walked around a corner, and when they saw that the two did not follow, they turned back again.

Pu Jia gathered her thoughts, Mu Yu hid her confusion, and the two looked at each other, as if they were silently telling each other with their eyes: "No matter how the demon asks later, I can't tell her what they talked about just now." ”

It's just that this glance has changed the taste in the eyes of the demon. She suddenly lost her interest in eating osmanthus cake.

……

……

In the past few days, no matter what Qin Hanmu did, he was extremely interested. Even when he saw the solemn scene of "the autumn wind withered golden cinnamon, and the red swing was red", he could chant leisurely: "The autumn wind knows my heart, and I pick up flowers and send beautiful women." ”

Shangguan Miao could naturally feel his happy state of mind, but the more he was happy, the more sad she was in her heart.

But this sorrow can't be said to him.

So while the two of them were visiting the garden together, Shangguan Miao told Qin Hanmu that he was actually the top brand of the Drunken Dream Hall.

She originally wanted to use this to make him snub and alienate herself, but after Qin Muhan heard it, she just asked with a smile: "So what?" ”

"You are the general of Jiangzhou, how can you not care about my past?" Shangguan Miao asked.

"You're right." Qin Hanmu nodded thoughtfully, "I'm the general of Jiangzhou." ”

Shangguan Miao was bitter in her heart, but she still had her customary, breathtaking smile on her face.

"I'm a general, and what I say is a military order." Qin Hanmu gently took her hand, "If I say that I want to marry you, then all those who oppose it will be a violation of the military order." ”

"What if I don't agree?" Shangguan Miao asked rhetorically.

"Then it will have to be dealt with by military law." Qin Hanmu pretended to be vicious, "Drag it in and get married." ”

"What if the state pastor doesn't agree?" A hint of cunning flashed in Shangguan Miao's eyes, she cleared her throat, and said in a rough voice in the accent of the state pastor, "That top girl in the Drunken Dream Hall, I even like her very much, and I occasionally want to marry her, I don't know what the general wants?" ”

"I knew you were going to ask." Qin Hanmu said with a smile, "I went to the Prefecture Governor's Mansion this morning, and I already told him about the two of us. ”

Qin Hanmu deliberately paused for a moment to look at Shangguan Miao's expression, but he didn't see the expected surprise.

So he stopped selling Guan Zi and continued: "The state pastor has agreed, didn't you notice that you haven't seen Steward Qin for a day today?" ”

Shangguan Miao was slightly stunned, and after thinking about it carefully, he hadn't seen him for a long time.

"I asked him to go to the Drunken Dream Hall to redeem for you." Qin Han said.

While speaking, there was a commotion in the front yard, Qin Hanmu held Shangguan Miao's hand, and walked out with her, saying as he walked: "Look, as soon as we talked about this, he came back,"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Shangguan's misty eyes, and she once again recalled the night of the Baidi Wine Shop, the black mist that devoured the stars and the moon, and the gloomy voice: "Good apprentice, I can't wait to enjoy you as a teacher, ...... you."

Qin Hanmu took Shangguan Miao's hand and came to the front yard, his feet had just crossed the threshold of the courtyard, and the smile on his face froze.

He saw that Steward Qin and the servants he had taken out to propose his relatives had all returned, to be precise, the corpses had been sent back.

Seeing Qin Hanmu come out, Cui Mu stepped forward with a solemn face: "General." ”

"Who did that?" Qin Hanmu's voice trembled a little.

"General, take a look at this first." Cui Mu took out a note soaked red in blood, "Steward Qin found it." ”
