Chapter 173: Yellow Sparrow
The slender young man leaned on the railing of the painting boat, his face was like fresh snow, and his lips were like a dot of vermilion, which attracted the young girls on both sides of the strait.
But the young man's eyes were only sparkling in the water.
After a major drought and floods, the people of Qinglan County, who had long been experienced, quickly regained their vitality with tenacious resilience.
"Woo-woo-woo-"
In the distance, the humming of the train blended with the laughter, and soon turned into the sound of selling, a group of fireworks in the world.
Tang Jing lay on the railing beside Chu Yunge, his eyes couldn't stop falling on the unattainable national teacher beside her, and he couldn't help but move to her: "...... When you come out to play, why did you bring a national teacher? β
The young man, whose thoughts were drifting away in the fireworks, came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and smiled softly: "It's not that I'm out to play." β
Tang Jing looked at her in confusion, Chu Yunge still kept smiling, but his tone was a little gritted: "I was swept away." β
Tang Jing was startled, and cautiously looked at Jiao Xin and the others behind Chu Yunge, and several people touched their noses and looked at the sky. In the end, Wei Shu pulled Tang Jing aside to explain the reason.
In the noise, only the window where Chu Yunge was was fell into silence.
A tall figure stood beside her with his hands in his hands, and looked out the window together. Fu Yanzhi seemed to be looking at the scenery, but his eyes kept slanting to the side, which can be said to be very low camouflage skills.
Looking at it with a sense of presence, Chu Yunge couldn't pretend not to see it anymore, and turned his head to look at Fu Yanzhi with some suffocation.
Completely opposite to the look of the national teacher Gujing Wubo, the fox eyes that were looking at her fixedly reflected the light reflected on the surface of the lake, which was quite a little rippling, and Chu Yunge looked at it and felt less depressed.
Fu Yanzhi asked slowly: "Deflated?" β
Chu Yunge leaned on the window frame and looked at Fu Yanzhi openly: "It's not angry." It's just that I didn't expect that I didn't even have a chance to try to turn around, so I was going to 'return home'. β
The pair of sparkling fox eyes glanced at her: "Returning home? β
"Isn't it a return to home?" Chu Yunge chuckled, "Anyway, you gave me a county, and I have to go back to Fengguo to take over." β
After Emperor Jin Wen rejected Chu Yunge's request to take over the construction of the Palace of Eternal Life, he gave Nanhai County to Chu Yunge as compensation and allowed him to include it in the feudal state. The idea of marrying the princess to disturb the Xiongnu and levy conscription did not waver in the slightest.
Chu Yunge and his subordinates repeatedly offered treasures and shared their worries for Emperor Jinwen quickly and accurately, but they did not change his mind.
He even semi-forcibly let Chu Yunge go back to Huainan, saying that he had been busy repairing the railroad tracks for a long time, and had a good time.
So Chu Yunge and Fu Yanzhi, who followed out of Chang'an for some reason, were escorted to Yangzhou to 'play' with Li Wenkang and Jiao Xin, who did not stay in Chang'an as officials for the time being.
"The bald head will take my place."
So said the handsome man in the cool breeze.
Chu Yunge: "......"
Emperor Jin Wen wants to build the Palace of Eternal Life, and after selecting the land, he will dig the mountain, these jobs are used to the young and strong people who serve the forced labor, and this autumn harvest Yangzhou and Jiaozhou Many places are planted with high-yield seeds from Huainan, so there is no need to worry about the lack of food for the time being.
The matter was not in a hurry for the time being, so although Chu Yunge was unhappy in his heart, he still did not force it.
It's just that I'm a little depressed in the end.
A hand fell lightly on her hair, twisting up the petals that had fallen at some point, and letting them float down into the river.
The surroundings were still noisy, but Chu Yunge found a trace of peace from the dark clouds' dull silence, and the laughter and scolding on both sides of the strait made people feel very safe.
Learn Tang Jing to lie on the railing, his eyes wander the crowd at will, and sometimes say a few words to the people around him.
Tang Jing listened to the matter of withholding part of the information from Wei Shu, and did not go over to disturb the young man's melancholy alone, seeing that the man with a cold temperament easily calmed down his friend, a trace of confusion could not help but appear on his face.
Doesn't Changli not like people getting too close?
The lion cat, who lazily accepted the national teacher's hair, didn't know his friend's belly, and his unfocused gaze gradually fixed somewhere, and his brows frowned slightly.
On the bank of the river, someone put up lanterns at some point, and the flickering light points swayed along the gentle river, and the attention of the people on the river bank was focused on the delicate lanterns. As a result, no one noticed, and a woman in the corner seemed to be struggling, her face covered by a large palm that only showed a pair of eyes.
The boat drove slowly.
At a certain moment, the woman felt that she was looking at a pair of pure phoenix eyes, but she was powerless to make a move for help.
Paralyzed, half-dragged and half-carried through several alleys, the woman was almost desperate when she was thrown to the ground.
She curled herself up in a ball, crying out in her heart with grief and despair, but her throat was too terrified to speak.
She didn't think that this man would let her go if he took him captive.
Whether it is the loss of innocence or life, it is a terrible end for her. There was a rude and filthy discussion in her ears, and she couldn't quite hear what the other party was saying, only that it was more than one person.
If you don't die...... As long as you're not dead......
The woman tried to calm herself down, and her parents were affected by her body, and her father and aunt at home were still waiting for her to go home after watching the lanterns, as long as she didn't die......
A demonic voice rang out: "Fine-skinned and tender-fleshedβdelicious!" β
The woman's face turned pale, and she almost fainted when she rolled her eyes.
It's not just fatal! There are no bones left!! She remembered that when there was a snow disaster some time ago, the cannibal army that spread all the rage, her body was weak, and she didn't even cramp and tremble.
Frightened to the extreme, he couldn't even muster the courage to run away. She only saw the man who tied her and five other big men in her suddenly clear vision.
The woman's mind went blank and she thought, "Am I going to be dinner for six today......
However, just as the big man sharpened his knife and Huo Huo walked towards her step by step, there was a ping-pong sound, which startled the big man to look at the closed door.
But before they could raise their vigilance, the people who kicked the door had already rushed in as soon as possible, and a dozen or so people surrounded the five big men, and almost beheaded the five people under the knife - kitchen knives.
The woman was lifted up by the unrope in a trance, and felt a pair of rough but by no means man's hands help her wipe away the tears that had unconsciously shed her face, and she trembled and said two silent words in her twitching throat: Thank you......
Even she couldn't hear herself, but the weather-covered woman with a shabby mask said something trivial. Then, as if they had come, the woman, accustomed to farm work, picked up the money from the five men in her rough palms, chopped off another finger, and left in a hurry.
The woman, fully dressed, watched them leave in a trance, and did not have time to call out to her benefactor.
The woman and her companion traveled very fast all the way, and soon left Qinglan County, stopping in a broken temple on the outskirts of the city. The person who walked at the end looked back vigilantly and looked back a few times to see if anyone had followed, and then happily rushed into the Broken Daoist Temple.
In the darkness of the trees, several pairs of eyes looked at each other and stepped back a little.
Chu Yunge snapped and killed a mosquito, and pondered: "They seem to be ordinary farmers, but they are really ruthless when they kill people. β
"Is there another rebel?" Wei Shu is almost used to the fact that wherever His Highness goes, he will encounter a group of bad people.
"Not really, if it's the rebels, they should recruit that girl, right?"
"Hmm." Fu Yanzhi agreed, took out a sachet from his sleeve, and hung it on Chu Yunge with a frown, "Why didn't you bring it?" β
Chu Yunge touched his nose: "I don't like to hang things on my body." β
King Huainan only wears accessories on serious occasions, and he can be as simple as he can on weekdays. Not to mention that the road from Chang'an to Yangzhou is still sulking, where is the mood to hang sachets?
I don't know if it's an illusion, after hanging the sachet given by Fu Yanzhi, don't talk about mosquitoes, even the mosquito bag in your hand is not so itchy.
Chu Yunge glanced at the broken Taoist temple that was lit up with a little fire: "Could it be that black eats black?" β
Lu Fei provided a new clue: "When his subordinates were about to make a move, I heard that the thief said that he wanted to eat people. β
Fu Yanzhi's fox eyes were raised, and there was a coldness under the moonlight: "Cannibal ......"
Chu Yunge hurriedly tugged on his sleeve to appease him: "It doesn't have to be a cannibal army. It's okay, we'll leave after this matter is resolved, and we won't let more people suffer. β
The fingertips of the two touched inadvertently, and after a pause, neither of them let go.
The national teacher, who was still snowflakes just now, instantly turned into a light rain.
Tang Jing, who was in the corner like a quail, shouted in his heart that he shouldn't. I shouldn't have seen all this, and I shouldn't have come with me, maybe I shouldn't have personally delivered the goods to Yangzhou and walked with Changli and others.
The young master of the Tang family's firm looked at Lu Fei with teary eyes, and said with his eyes: "I can break the relationship between Your Royal Highness and the national teacher, I won't be killed, right?"
The intelligence guard was silent, and hesitantly patted the young man who was about to cry.
Tang Jing: ?
"It's getting late...... Chu Yunge glanced at the moonlight obscured by the dark clouds, and sighed softly, "We traveled all the way to business, but when we were about to enter the city, we found that we had lost money in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and after being tired, we had to find a broken Taoist temple and rest for the night." β
All:???
Fu Yanzhi lowered his eyes and sighed: "I don't know if the audience's mountain hunters will let us in." β
The two glanced at each other, and they had the demeanor of a rich man who didn't know anything about the world.
Seeing the two masters walking towards the Broken Dao Temple, the remaining few people subconsciously followed despite being blindfolded. The other secret guards around Lu Fei hid in the darkness very professionally, and Lu Fei was originally going to hide, but he glanced at His Royal Highness and the national teacher who were powerless, the weak female official and the young master of the small and thin trading house......
The secret guard, who was proficient in martial arts, silently followed.
There was a faint fragrance of wheat wafting from the Taoist temple, Chu Yunge sniffed, and smelled the smell of roasted steamed buns, and he actually felt a little nostalgic, if he sprinkled some chili noodles......
Suck and slip.
She was the first to push open the door of the Taoist temple, and seemed to be unaware of the surprised and vigilant gaze cast inside, and in the hazy light, the young man smiled and pouted: "Passing by here, can you take a bite ......?"
Chu Yunge was stunned: Wait! Mouth scoop!
The woman in the view showed an incomprehensible look.
