While the two were talking, they were already very close to the Mingyue Tower. Whether it is the ordinary people living nearby, or the long-term coolies in shabby clothes gather on the opposite street and watch from afar, just because there are more than ten black-clothed family members standing at the door, posing as idlers do not approach, among which there is an old bustard-like old mother standing in the center, facing the dignitaries who come down from the sedan chair from the street in the distance, changing into a soft smile.

Through the bustling crowd, Ji Ye looked even more shocking, only to see that across the street was a large lake, and the lights on the upper floor were reflected on the lake, extremely bright. Mingyue Tower was originally built on this lake, in a Nagisa facing the lake on three sides, and there is another stone bridge on the shore on the right to connect to Nagisa.

Fang Yu said on the side that the name of this place is Peach Blossom Zhu, which is named after the peach blossoms blooming on Zhu. Therefore, there is a saying in the world: "Fold the mirror lake near the pond willows, and the peach blossoms are on the bright moon tower." ”

The two stepped forward to face the old bustard, and when they looked at it, the old bustard seemed to be not very old, his body was plump and extremely soft, his eyes narrowed into a line when he smiled, he was wearing a red fox fur, and he wore a bewitching peony on his head, as if he was the embodiment of his body.

Fang Yu took out the invitation card from his arms, and the old bustard recognized him at a glance, his brows furrowed slightly imperceptibly, and in an instant, he returned to normal, and stepped forward with a face to greet the distinguished guests, and said, "Your Royal Highness, you are here, go in and sit down." ”

Fang Yu was about to speak, but saw Zhang Xuening walking out of the door, almost trotting over to a few people and said, "Pan Niang, these two are my friends, I will entertain them." "She wore a pure sable fur today, which is very extravagant.

The old bustard, who was called Pan Niang, had expected that she would come out to greet her, and said respectfully: "Miss, please please." ”

Ji Ye walked forward with Fang Yu and Zhang Xuening, and suddenly there was a screaming voice from behind him: "Oh, why did you two come here at this time, no one told you to come later, hurry up and go to the backyard, there is really no way." ”

Ji Ye looked back, it was Huo Yan and Sun Zheng who each led a carriage, and the back was full of the goods and grass that had been transported all the way from Yunzhou, and they were talking to Pan Niang and didn't notice him.

As Pan Niang said, 'Come with me,' the two led the horse, and Ji Ye hurriedly turned around.

Walking into this hall, the candlelight lights are particularly dazzling, Ji Ye blinked his eyes a few times, only to see that the bright moon building is hollow and looks at the top, there are barrel-like thick silk nan wood in all directions, there are corridors on both sides, and a very spacious and atmospheric singing platform is enclosed in the middle, and from the second floor above the outer row of rooms and private rooms, the floors are stacked, and the staggered falls.

There are no flowers and plants in it, but there is a hidden fragrance.

Ji Ye didn't care about this strange fragrance, he only thought about what the dart bureau was doing to send medicinal herbs all the way to this green building, and when he met Huo Yan and Sun Zheng again, he still wanted to see them from afar.

After thinking about it, he said to Fang Yu, 'I'll come back to you later', then turned left and went in the direction of Huo Yan and Sun Zheng.

I don't want this backyard to be quite tortuous, Ji Ye followed the rut marks all the way, so as not to get lost.

Soon they came to a row of low houses close together, far from the noise of the front yard, and the lights were a little dim. Ji Ye chose a low wall from a distance, and lowered his body to listen.

I only heard Pan Niang say: "You are from Yunzhou to the Fuwei Dart Bureau, why didn't that old man Huo bring people to deliver the darts this year?" ”

Huo Yan sniffed, and after a slight pause, he said silently: "What you are talking about must be my father, my name is Huo Yan, I am the daughter of the old man Huo, my dart team encountered bandits half a month ago, and my father was unfortunately killed and died on the spot." ”

Pan Niang frowned when she heard this, and asked, "What about the dart goods you transported?" In addition to these two carriages, are they missing? ”

Huo Yan replied truthfully: "Although a few darts have been damaged, the dart goods are not lost, and there are still seven or eight carriages left in the city inn. ”

Pan Niang really breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Fortunately, there was also a dart team attacked on the way last month, but they were unlucky, and they were empty, and only one person survived to report." ”

As he spoke, he took out two silver tickets from his arms, took out the money bag and took out a handful of broken silver, about twenty or thirty taels, put them in front of Huo Yan and said: "These two hundred taels are the dart money along the way, and the extra twenty taels should be regarded as a compensatory for these dart masters who died in vain." Your old dart head is dead, so you don't have to take this dart in the future, and send the remaining darts to you when you get back, but don't forget to wait until midnight to come back. ”

Ji Ye was listening to it, and there were a few footsteps in his ears, and when he looked up, he saw that it was Li Ruolin, who had not seen him for two days.

Seeing that Li Ruolin had walked to Ji Ye's side, he was about to open his mouth to call him, but Ji Ye dragged him down and covered his mouth with one hand, making a silent gesture.

Li Ruolin was so anxious that his ears blushed, and he understood what he meant, and nodded violently, and Ji Ye withdrew his hand.

But she was really a little angry, and immediately stretched out her right hand and twisted it violently around Ji Ye's waist.

Ji Ye was in pain instantly, but he couldn't scream at this time, so he could only cover his mouth again and forcibly hold back. There was a fresh fragrance from the mouth and nose in the palm, which could be regarded as intimate with her, Ji Ye thought shamelessly.

Huo Yan and Sun Zheng heard her say that it was okay, but they were angry, and they were about to have a seizure, but seeing that the money she gave was so generous, and they also gave some compensation, their anger disappeared.

After thinking about it, this long dart must not be lost, and said earnestly: "Although my dart game has damaged the backbone, the whole is still there, and there is no problem in taking this dart in the future." ”

Pan Niang thought for a moment and said, "In this case, you will bring all the remaining darts tomorrow and talk to you in detail." In the past six months, it has indeed folded a few caravans, which is a time when there is a shortage of personnel. ”

Huo Yan took the silver ticket and the handful of silver, thanked him honestly, and moved the sack of burlap from the carriage into the low gatehouse, led the carriage and turned away.

Pan Niang also entered the building and left.

When the three of them had gone far, Ji Ye Li Ruolin stood up.

Ji Ye looked at her, and then he had time to ask, "Why are you here?" ”

He looked at it so closely, Li Ruolin took off the deerskin hat and soil jacket he wore along the way, and changed into a pure white fox fur, with soft and smooth hair, extremely delicate and beautiful.

With her stunning appearance, she is really like a white fox in the snow, which makes people fall into it at a glance. It seems that he has been remembering tightly from Nalu City, and when he arrived in Shangjing City in the past two days, he immediately placed a precious fox fur.

Li Ruolin's face was flushed, and he was inexplicably a little nervous when he looked at Ji Ye, and said, "I, I saw you walk in the hall, and when you turned around, you went out again, so I followed." So how can you crouch here and eavesdrop? ”

Ji Ye said: "When I came in, I saw Huo Yan and Sun Zheng and the others, so I wanted to come over and have a look, but because of the previous misunderstanding and guilt, I hid behind this wall and listened, and did not come out to recognize each other." ”

Li Ruolin nodded thoughtfully: "So these darts were originally sent here, so they won't come to Shangjing and become headless flies, which is already an excellent result." ”

She changed her words and asked, "Then where have you been in the past two days?" Brother Xiao Se's words were heavier that day, he spoke like that, he was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, don't take it to heart. ”

Hearing her say this, Ji Ye's mind came to the words that Li Xiaose said that the two had a marriage contract, and his heart was sour, and he took a deep breath and calmed down and said: "I have stayed with His Royal Highness for the past two days, and I have agreed to be his personal guard. ”

Li Ruolin looked clear and said, "It's the Third Highness with a peerless face, right?" I've heard them talk about it, and that's fine. I didn't see you when I came out of the restaurant that day, and I was still a little worried. ”

Ji Ye was a little relieved.

The two of them walked along the same road to the front hall, only to see that the passage from the door to the side of the street was a little empty, and it seemed that everyone had arrived.
