Chapter 193: Alone Under the Moon (Extra 5)
"General Lu, are your injuries better?"
Rong Ling invited Lu Yan to sit down on the stone chair in the courtyard, and hurriedly asked him about the knife wound.
Lu Yan listened to Rong Ling's worried tone, and after sitting down, he turned his head to her and replied with a smile: "I am a person who practices martial arts, and this flesh injury is not in the way." ”
"I was really scared to death that day, but fortunately, the general showed up in time to save me, and Rong Ling thanked the general again for saving his life."
With that, Rong Ling quickly stood up, squatted down slightly at Lu Yan, and made a blessing salute.
Seeing this, Lu Yan immediately stepped forward and raised his hand to ask Rong Ling to get up.
"Miss Rong doesn't have to be like this, get up quickly."
Although Lu Yan had traveled to the Dajing Dynasty for a few days, the complicated rituals of ancient times still gave him a headache.
What kneeling, worshipping, please, it really has to be done countless times a day.
His soul comes from a free society, and the memories of the original owner are all in the military camp, and he rarely comes into contact with these red tape.
Therefore, in Jingyang Palace these days, Lu Yan is really uncomfortable with this etiquette.
He still prefers to be able to stay comfortably for a while on this quiet night, rather than always thanking him like this.
Otherwise, wouldn't he not have a moment of freedom?
Therefore, after Rong Ling got up, he motioned for Rong Ling to sit down quickly.
Otherwise, he really can't stand it.
At this time, the moon in the night sky was hanging just above the two of them, and the bright moonlight shone down, making the small courtyard also light up.
This was the first time Lu Yan had come to the real imperial dining room, and he couldn't help but look up and down.
Sure enough, the filming in the film and television dramas is fake, and this imperial dining room is not as small as the performance at all.
In addition to the main room for cooking, there are also wings on both sides, and there is a corridor in front of the wing, and in front of the corridor is the small courtyard where he is now.
Rong Ling saw that Lu Yan's gaze had been sweeping over his imperial dining room, and he could also see his curiosity about the imperial dining room.
So, he said, "This imperial dining room has been like this since my master was here, and although it is just a place for cooking, it is like home to me. ”
"Yes, where there are fireworks, they are all warm. Unlike me, who has been living in the camp and eating military rations, it would be nice to be able to fill my stomach. ”
"General Lu can ask the guards to come to the imperial dining room to inform him of what he wants to eat, and the imperial dining room will definitely satisfy the general."
"Really? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for the girl? ”
"General, you are my savior, how can you be in trouble? General, you just open your mouth. ”
"Okay, then I'll be respectful and obey. By the way, who was the last person to kill Miss Rong? Can you catch it? ”
Hearing Lu Yan's inquiry, Rong Ling frowned, shook his head and said, "Not yet, that person is masked, I can't recognize it at all." However, His Majesty already knows about this, and he is sending someone to investigate secretly. ”
"This matter looks strange, someone dares to kill people in the palace, and the person behind him must have an identity. Otherwise, this killer would never dare to do it in the palace. Miss Rong, you might as well think about it, have you offended the master of which palace? ”
"Offended? Although I am in charge of the imperial dining room, I also provide meals for the masters of each palace, and I do it every day according to the food list provided by each palace, so I don't offend. ”
"What about in the court? Have any officials been refuted? ”
"Your Majesty gave me a third-grade female official, such an honor can be said to be a precedent that has never been seen in the Dajing Dynasty, and naturally many people are dissatisfied with this. But if you kill me because of this, isn't that clearly dissatisfied with the Holy Decree? ”
After Rong Ling's words were finished, Lu Yan only felt that there was some truth in them.
Indeed, even if there is an objection to Rong Ling's sealing of the third grade, it is impossible to kill people because of this.
To be able to do it so decisively, there is definitely a deep hatred, or some of his own handles in the hands of Rong Ling.
Otherwise, they will never risk doing anything in the palace.
But what is the reason for this?
If it was really deliberate revenge, and the murderer didn't succeed last time, then wouldn't Rong Ling have been in danger all the time?
Lu Yan looked at the woman sitting beside him, and a worry gradually arose in his heart.
He finally understood now why his mission to this world was to protect Rong Ling, it turned out that in this seemingly auspicious and luxurious palace, there were murderous intentions.
But why did the original owner anticipate this before he died?
Could it be that he has the ability to foresee the future?
How is this possible?
This is the ancient feudal imperial system, even if it is a fortune teller, it is impossible to calculate this scene before death.
Lu Yan sat there and carefully recalled the memories of the original owner before returning to the dynasty, and suddenly, a scene in his memory caught his attention.
He suddenly remembered that one day, the emperor had sent a confidant to send him a secret letter.
This secret letter mentioned that the Huns have been moving frequently in recent days, and some people in the palace are secretly colluding with the Huns, and they want to ask Lu Yan to return to the DPRK to discuss countermeasures.
"Could it be that this incident has something to do with what was said in the secret letter before?"
Lu Yan thought to himself, it seemed that he needed to discuss this matter with His Majesty in private.
"General Lu! General Lu? ”
Rong Ling, who was sitting on the side, saw that Lu Yan had been silent and did not speak, so he immediately whispered softly.
Hearing the call, Lu Yan came back to his senses from his thoughts.
Because what he was thinking was just a guess, he didn't tell Rong Ling what he guessed.
And changed his tone and said: "Yes, you are right, it seems that it should not be possible to do it out of jealousy." But no matter what, you should be careful these days, and if you want to go to the palaces, you still don't go alone. ”
Lu Yan's gentle voice reminded Rong Ling, his eyes full of worry.
This sudden gentleness made Rong Ling's heart feel like a warm current flowed.
In this silent night, the bright moonlight sets off the atmosphere just right.
Lu Yan's deep gaze stared at Rong Ling's crystal eyes, and at this moment, it seemed that the feelings that had spanned hundreds of years and the two spaces had converged.
The two of them were relatively speechless, but they seemed to have thousands of words.
"Okay, I see, I'll be careful."
Rong Ling responded softly, and when he heard this answer, Lu Yan's face showed a slight smile.
However, the worry in his heart has not diminished.
Right now, finding the killer is the most thorough way.
"It's not early, I should go back, Miss Rong, you should rest early."
"Okay, General Lu walks slowly."
Rong Ling sent Lu Yan to the door of the imperial dining room, but just as Lu Yan turned around to leave, she suddenly spoke again.
"General Lu, I, I have a reluctant request, I don't know if the general can help."
After hearing this, Lu Yan turned around and said, "What's the matter?" But the girl said it was fine. ”
"I, I want to learn swords, I don't know if the general can teach me some."
"Learning a sword? Why do you suddenly want to learn swords? Lu Yan was puzzled.
Rong Ling took a deep breath and said resolutely with a resolute look in his eyes: "I don't want to sit still." ”
Lu Yan thought about it for a moment, indeed, it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish.
So, he agreed, "Okay, then tomorrow afternoon, you can wait for me in the garden." ”
"Rong Ling thanked the general."
Rong Ling smiled lightly, two pear vortices appeared on her cheeks, the appearance of this delicate girl, looking at Lu Yan's eyes, only felt a shock in her heart...
