A pot of wine among the flowers, drinking alone without a blind date.

Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and the shadow becomes a trio.

The moon does not drink, and the shadow disciples follow me.

Temporarily accompanied by the moon will be shadowed, and the joy must be spring. ……

Du Zhenghai poured himself a drink in a tavern, borrowing wine to drown his sorrows, but his sorrows were even more sorrowful. All the sad emotions stirred in his heart, but he forcibly suppressed himself, and the pain was unbearable to the extreme, but there was nowhere to vent.

He was melancholy, frustrated, bored, and clueless. In the drunken haze, a vague figure seemed to have approached him in a trance.

He didn't bother to raise his eyelids, he just muttered: "Ling'er, Ling'er......"

"Brother Du, you can't drink anymore." Someone reached out and pressed his cup.

Du Zhenghai raised his head and saw that the person who came was Ling Yun, and a chill immediately condensed in his eyebrows, and he said coldly: "What are you doing here?" ”

Ling Yun glanced at him with dim eyes, and said in a tone without any emotion: "Brother Du will not die, out of prison, after learning this news, I have been looking for you everywhere - Brother Du, you didn't suffer anything in prison, did you?" ”

Du Zhenghai hooked the corners of his mouth lazily, and said in a low voice: "Thanks to Commander Ling's care, I can't die for the time being." ”

Ling Yun sat down in the seat opposite him and said with a wry smile, "Do you still hold a grudge against me now?" ”

Du Zhenghai snorted, and there was a trace of trembling hidden in his cold voice, "The surname is Ling, let me ask you, why did you save me?" Is it to atone for the sins of your so-called father? ”

Ling Yun felt stunned for a while, and said bitterly: "Brother Du, how can you say that, that so-called father, I have never admitted it. ”

Du Zhenghai squinted at him and said coldly: "Yes, then what are you saving me for?" ”

Ling Yun said: "Because we are friends. ”

Du Zhenghai's eyes became distant, and the cool smile on the corner of his mouth made his heart tremble, "But we are no longer friends now!" ”

Ling Yun said: "Because we used to be friends. ”

Du Zhenghai nodded lightly, "Okay, that's a good point." I will always remember Commander Ling's life-saving grace, and I will pay you back this life I owe you one day. Leave! As he spoke, he pushed his cup up, threw a loose ingot of loose silver on the table, and walked straight out.

Ling Yun said in the back, "Wait." ”

Du Zhenghai said: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Ling Yun looked at him with a misty look in his eyes and said, "Will we still be friends in the future?" ”

Du Zhenghai's eyebrows were cold, "No." ”

The emotion in Ling Yun's eyes trembled violently, and he pulled out a bleak smile, and said bitterly: "Just because I am ...... He Yuting's son? ”

"Yes."

Ling Yun lowered his starry eyes, his long eyelashes covered the sadness under his eyes, and said with some difficulty: "Actually, I'd rather I wasn't." But if providence is arranged, what can I do? Do the grievances of the previous generation have to be borne by the next generation? ”

Du Zhenghai narrowed his eyes coldly and said: "You should always know the phrase 'father and son repay debts', right?" ”

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, speechless.

Du Zhenghai said: "I also know that all this is not your fault. But you are also the son of my enemy, and the blood of my enemy will always flow in you. The enmity between parents is not the same as the sky, and the enmity between you and me is as deep as the sea, do you think we can become friends? ”

Ling Yun's heart ached. He didn't refute because he knew there was no need to refute at all.

He felt as if he was in ruins, the reality of a ruined wall, with a sense of powerlessness; And he was alone, wandering, with nowhere to escape, and seemed to have to wait for death.

At this time, he really wanted to cry; But he knew that he didn't even have the qualifications to cry......

Du Zhenghai sighed lightly and walked out.

Ling Yun suddenly said, "Brother Du." ”

Du Zhenghai stopped and said expressionlessly: "What else do you have to say?" ”

Ling Yun said: "Although you and I are no longer friends, can you promise me one thing?" ”

"You say."

Ling Yun said: "Don't tell me about He Yuting. ”

Du Zhenghai said: "If you can hide for a while, you can't hide for a lifetime, even if I don't say it, I can't guarantee that one day I will be known by others - Ling Yun, do you think you can escape?" ”

Ling Yun said indifferently: "It's a while, right, you just said that you don't promise me?" ”

Du Zhenghai turned his face and glanced at Ling Yun's pale, almost bloodless face again. At that moment, he felt as if his heart was being crushed by an invisible boulder, and he was suffocated.

It turns out that in this world, he is not the only one who is wandering and helpless. At that moment, Du Zhenghai suddenly felt a sense of sympathy in his heart.

After pondering for a moment, he finally nodded solemnly, "Okay, I promise you." ”

"Thank you." Ling Yun raised his head and glanced at him with burning eyes, then slowly raised his palm.

Reflecting the cold moonlight, Du Zhenghai saw that there were faint fragments of light flickering in the other party's eyes.

Du Zhenghai's heart throbbed unconsciously, and he subconsciously stretched out his right hand. The two hitters made a deal. ……

There are two flowers, one on each branch.

But it is said that Huanyu's personal girl Jiao Xing has been sad and troubled these days. Her father was sick, but he had no money for medicine.

She took a few days off from the lord of Huanyu County, and when she returned home, she looked at her father, who was lying on the bed and was sick and dying, and at the two younger brothers who were already anxious and helpless to treat their father, and she was at a loss.

She lost her mother when she was a child, and her father worked hard and hard to pull the three of them into adulthood.

In order to reduce the burden on her family, she was forced to sell herself as a slave and became a maid in the Jinling Palace.

And her two younger brothers except plough the fields; also took advantage of some spare time to do some labor at the house of Yang Ximeng, a big family in the capital, and the little salary he earned could only barely support his family.

Now that her father is seriously ill, the famous doctor in the capital has prescribed a sky-high price, which makes her three sisters and brothers dumbfounded.

Five hundred taels of silver! - Such expensive medical expenses are something that their whole family cannot earn in a lifetime. But the famous doctor told them to have enough money within ten days, otherwise their father would be dead.

At this time, the family was really anxious and helpless.

Jiao Xing's real surname is Liu, and her nickname is Keer. Her eldest brother is named Liu Aniu, and her younger brother is named Liu Ahu.

People are often forced to be anxious and cornered, and they will have some desperate thoughts.

Liu Aniu paced around the room in distraught, and suddenly he stopped, and a pair of dark eyes slowly stayed on Jiao Xing, who was fidgeting in front of him.

Jiao Xing looked at her brother's somewhat hideous face, those ill-intentioned eyes, and a chill couldn't help but hit her heart, and she stammered: "Ah Niu, what's the matter...... What's up? ”

Liu Aniu's expression distorted for a moment, and he suddenly laughed slowly, "Sister, your master is the commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, when he is a county horse, the emperor is the second grade, and he is wealthy, if he plucks his hair, it will be thicker than our thighs, why don't you beg him?" ”

Jiao Xing's eyes were stunned, and she immediately retorted: "How can you let me open this mouth?" Five hundred taels of silver, money that our whole family can't earn in a lifetime!

"Besides, doesn't the county master usually help me less? Three, two, five, ten, eight, as long as I have difficulty speaking, he will give it to me happily, never need to return it, and never ask me to do anything.

"I was always very uneasy, but I secretly made up my mind that one day I would repay his kindness, who would have thought that! - Alas, I owe him enough......"

Liu Ahu raised his chin and said, "That's not bad this time!" ”

Jiao Xing's eyes were red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother, aren't we too greedy to do this?" Jun Ma Ye is such a good person, but we treat him like this, how can we bear it? ”

Liu Aniu sneered, with a look of disdain on his face: "What, Ling Yun is a good person? Sister, don't be too naïve! Nine times out of ten, people in officials like them are well-dressed and dignified on the surface; Behind the scenes, chickens crow, dogs and thieves, men and women prostitutes. Hmph, this surnamed Ling is no exception. ”

Jiao Xing said: "Brother, there are some things that are not easy to say; I serve by his side every day, and I know the person of the county master best, he is a rare upright gentleman! ”

"Ling Yun is a righteous gentleman? ......" Liu Aniu pursed his lips with a disapproving look.

Suddenly, he glanced at Jiao Xing with a gloomy look, and said with a low smile: "Sister, you just said that Ling Yun usually always helps you, as long as you need silver taels or something, he will give it to you happily, and he never needs you to pay it back?" ”

Jiao Xing nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Liu Aniu continued: "You still said that you are by his side every day, serving closely? ”

Jiao Xing said: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”

A lewd smile flashed in Liu Aniu's narrow eyes, and he said with a shallow mouth, "Sister, tell me the truth, is there anything between the two of you?" ”

Jiao Xing's misty eyes blinked, and she said confusedly: "What about it?" What's the matter? ”

Liu Aniu glanced at her, bent down and whispered in her ear: "What are you pretending to be confused, what's the matter, of course it's a matter of men and women!" ”

Jiao Xing's eyes widened, and she said angrily: "Liu Aniu, what are you talking nonsense? He is the master, I am the slave, and my duty is to serve the lord and the horse wholeheartedly—I dare not think anything else! ”

As if a raging fire was suddenly poured with cold water, Liu Aniu's originally excited and ambiguous eyes slowly dimmed.

He drooped his head in frustration and sighed tastelessly, "So, there really is nothing between you?" Alas, what a disappointment! Sister, you said such convenient conditions, but you didn't succeed...... Alas! You're a little stupid, aren't you? ……”

Jiao Xing was so angry that her face immediately turned red, and she raised her eyebrows and said, "Liu Aniu, if you say such an unreasonable thing again, I will ignore you!" You can insult me, but you can't insult the county horse! In the whole capital, who doesn't know the personality of the county horse, he is open-minded and open-minded......"

"What, Lingyun is open-minded and open-minded? ......" Liu Aniu seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, it seems that you are really confused by his appearance!" If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, hum ......"

Speaking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up mockingly, pulling out an exaggerated arc.

Jiao Xing saw that Liu Aniu didn't say anything when he talked about the key place, and deliberately sold the pass, she couldn't help but feel a throbbing in her heart, and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?" You mean! ”
