Ruoshui, the capital of Rongguo, the city wall is towering, the flag hunting sounds, the wide and flat main street on both sides of the pavilions are lined up, and the shops are very lively in front of the door, everything here shows the strong strength of Rongguo.

Su Yan rubbed his eyes on the edge of the window, and asked Zuo Qing: "It's been a few days since I came all the way from Hongji Town, and I haven't seen such a prosperous scene. ”

The carriage slowly and unhurriedly made its way through the streets, carefully bypassing the crowds of pedestrians. Zuo Qing closed his eyes and recuperated, and said unhurriedly: "The country can't do without business, relying on the people's farming alone, it is impossible for the country to be there today in the country that was founded not long ago." ”

Su Yan laughed at him, "It seems that you really want to be a vendor?" It's better to invest in the eldest grandson family, maybe the elder of the eldest grandson family will use you very much. ”

"Oh? Do you know the eldest grandson family well? ”

Su Yan seemed to be choked, and it took a long time to organize the language, "That, of course I understand!" My master is a jack of all trades, what can he not know, I also understand that the eldest grandson family had a princess in the early years, married Prince Zheng, and gave birth to Ge Zixiu, the most outstanding general in Rongguo. ”

Zuo Qing smiled: "It was renamed Yanzhen many years ago. ”

"Really? Why the name change? ”

Zuo Qing said: "I heard that it was for her sister who ran away from home that she gave up her surname and changed it to the surname of his sister's biological mother, do you care very much?" ”

Su Yan hurriedly shook his head, "I just asked casually, casually, haha." ”

Zuo Qing opened her eyes and looked at her perspective, which newcomer in the flower street was being repaired, and the plaque sent by the guy was about to be hung, and a woman was standing under the plaque, with the shadow of the tree reflected on her face.

The carriage stopped suddenly.

"Why don't you leave?"

Yan Sheng seemed to sigh, and the next moment he hurriedly drove away.

Su Yan opened the curtain and poked his head out, but he didn't see anything, only to see the crowded crowd, there seemed to be some excitement, all gathered at the city gate, presumably the government posted the wanted notice just issued, the bounty must be attractive enough!

A breeze mixed with the fragrance of peach blossoms swept by, Su Yan felt very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had smelled it.

Seven Senses Academy is located at the foot of the southeast mountain peak of Ruoshui City, and most of its true face is surrounded by ancient trees. The Seven Senses Academy is adjacent to the Imperial Palace and the Hunting Grounds, and has been hosting the Seven Senses Hunting Event for many years.

The carriage stopped at the entrance square, and at the other end of the square was the main entrance of the academy, which was located on the 10-step bluestone steps.

The whole academy is surrounded by green trees, with green bricks and green tiles, pavilions and pavilions, which is very simple.

Su Yan looked back at the road he came, this road was hidden in the woods, paved with stones, and the shade of the trees was hurried, burying the sunlight overhead. As far as the eye can see, there are dappled spots of light, floating fog, and trees seem to be sleeping in them, quiet as if they are out of the world.

After a few days and nights, everyone was a little tired and had nothing to say all the way.

After entering the second courtyard gate, a group of maids came up to take the luggage, and then quietly followed behind. No one said a word along the way, and it seemed that under the influence of Zuo Qing's silence, the air became solidified.

Su Yan followed everyone through the labyrinthine academy without a head or a brain, stepping on the intricate road like vines, and the houses and pavilions where he passed were of different shapes, some were extremely simple, and some were very exquisite. The first time I saw such a academy, I was indescribably curious. She also noticed that the clothes worn by the maids were differentiated, and there were only three types of clothes: plain, blue, and red.

Su Yan was immersed in his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard a string of coughs in front of him, and suddenly woke up. Zuo Qing reminded the fork and ordered a few maids to stay for Jinyun City to call, and she led Su Yan to the accommodation.

As soon as Zuo Qing left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Suo Qingqiu gasped and said, "Hey! I'm finally gone, I'm going to suffocate if we stay together all the way! ”

Jin Yuncheng's arm gently pushed on her waist, and she immediately fell silent. Then he said to Su Yan gently and amiably: "The lord in charge asked me to arrange a place to live for you, or you go to my place to stay for one night, it just so happens that we haven't had time to talk all the way over, so let's talk tonight and have a drink?" ”

Suo Qingqiu obviously wouldn't agree, Su Yan was naturally interested, and was about to refuse, when a little girl suddenly caught up behind him, hurriedly as if she was dying, handed a letter to Jinyun City, and then retreated. After reading the letter, Jin Yuncheng immediately threw Su Yan to Suo Qingqiu, and returned the same way in a hurry, not even having time to say hello, seeing that this posture was going out.

Suo Qingqiu finally seized the opportunity to be alone with Su Yan, smiled sinisterly and said, "Let's go, this big man." As he spoke, he took her to a tiled house built on the water, picked an elegant one, threw her softness to the ground, and walked away.

Su Yan couldn't help but sit on the threshold, looking at Suo Qingqiu's back, not only sighed: "The dog's eyes look down on people!" ”

Zen Meditation Temple, Xinghan Pavilion.

A dim glow spreads across the screen, flickering incessantly to make people drowsy. Zuo Qing leaned in front of the bookcase and checked the accounts of the academy for half a year. Yansheng gently placed the teacup on the table, listening to the cough that the master deliberately suppressed, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

"My lord, it's cold at night, it's time to rest, isn't there no shortage of you all the way?"

Zuo Qing felt strange, Su Ming disappeared, he must have returned to Rongguo to report the news, why was there no movement at all?

Yansheng was a little worried: "I'm afraid that Su Ming will suspect the origin of those killers, so our plan..."

"First, the killers sent are all Jianghu people, so that they can disguise themselves as Murphy's people, and they will not suspect me; Second, no one in the world can find out my details, and all he can know is the news that I released myself, and you have been with me for a few years, don't you know my ability? ”

Yansheng hurriedly said yes.

Zuo Qing said: "I haven't been back to Ruoshui for a long time, and I haven't gone to ask my father-in-law for peace, you go and arrange tomorrow's carriage." ”

"Yes."

One night flashed, and it was another night, Su Yan was stunned and waited for two days, Zuo Qing didn't come, and Derivation didn't come, and Jinyun City didn't set foot here.

Could it be that these people threw themselves here and forgot about them?

She opened the west window, the lake was foggy, and in the fog, you could see the blue bricks and tiles, the water pavilions, the carved beams and painted buildings, a good fairyland, but it was a pity that she was lonely and had no interest!

I was depressed, and I saw a canopy boat slowly sliding over the ferry at the other end of the lake, gradually approaching.

When the boat docked, a cardamom girl came up, with a goose-yellow brocade skirt and a red fluttering face, looking like a young lady from a scholarly family, but this appearance was a little depressed.

"The eldest student, Sun Yue, has met Mr. Su." Her voice was so soft that it took almost your ears to hear it.

Su Yan finally saw a living one, and hurriedly took her hand, "I finally smell some popularity!" Did Zuo Qing ask you to come? ”

She seemed to be very afraid of everything here, including Su Yan, and even the name Zuo Qing, "It's Lord in charge!" Mr. Su, in our place, we have to call him an adult. ”

Su Yan couldn't help frowning, "There are so many rules. So what did he ask you to do? ”

"They... No! It was the adults who said that you are well versed in the art of tea, and it just so happens that there is a shortage of a gentleman in Shuyoutang, so you will let the students lead you there, and these days you will first familiarize yourself with the lower academy, and then start taking up your post at the beginning of next month. ”

"What do you say? Mr! Zuo Qing is crazy, right? ”

"No, no!" She was so frightened that her eyes straightened and she spoke incoherently, "Sir, you must not call adults by their names, and of course you can't call other people by their names, the students are saying, they are saying that in this Seven Senses Academy, except for the subordinates and students, they all have official positions, you have to be careful." ”

Su Yan minded in his heart, and he had to admit it, "Yes, yes, what you said is, I'm new to the city, I don't know anything, and I have to teach me more about this halfway monk in the future... Mr. ”

"How dare the students! You are a gentleman, and you will have to ask him for more advice in the future. As he spoke, he took the initiative to enter the house and lure her into the boat.

Su Yan tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and left this ghost place where birds don't.

Leaving the lake, you walk through a forest of intricate stones, facing a row of green tiles and red walls. Looking into the wall from Su Yan's point of view, he saw a magnificent hall, and nothing else could be seen. Listening to the introduction of the eldest Sun Yue, it was the place where important matters were discussed—Broken Cloud Xuan, and it was also the façade of the academy. Going northeast along the red wall, Changsun Yue suddenly stopped, pointed to the courtyard that was half hidden behind the woods directly behind Xuan Yunxuan, and kindly reminded that it was Zuo Qing's Zen Meditation Courtyard, and he should not disturb it.

Walk all the way to the end of the red wall, turn right for dozens of steps and there is another completely different courtyard wall, and through the moon gate is a bamboo forest that is almost withered, and this is Qingping Hall. The eldest grandson Yue whispered: "Mr. Qingpingtang has a strange temperament, sir, you'd better be careful... These are the heartfelt words of the students, not to mention you, even the adults in charge will not walk around with her. ”

Su Yan didn't feel surprised at this time, every person here was normal, even if there was a three-headed and six-armed one that appeared now, she could face it calmly.

Walk through the green bamboo forest, step on the bluestone steps, follow the water flow direction in the canal, go south, then come to the South Lake, at the end of the road, is a stone archway, engraved with the four words of "high mountain flowing water".

There is a building complex in the center of the lake, look at it from afar, you can vaguely see that there are water pavilions, water pavilions, watchtowers, covered bridges, and courtyards, the most conspicuous is the three-storey pavilion built by two Bang Shui, which is connected by flying buildings, and the craftsmanship is exquisite, which is staggering.

The curved bridge on the lake is paved with bluestone slabs, granite is along, and the hook is carved with begonia and green bamboo, and then a few steps, and then replaced with winter plum powder snow, and then there are four seasons of plants, flowers and fruits.

Originally, it was within 100 steps from the shore to the Courtyard of the Mountains, but because of the role of the curved bridge, it took 200 steps to see the gate of the Courtyard.

After walking through the front yard and climbing the frantic promenade, this is where she will stay tonight.

Su Yan had already walked with straight eyes, the soles of his feet hurt and sore, and the bones in his body were about to squeeze out sour water!

The eldest grandson Yue didn't raise his head all the way, and when he fell here, he didn't dare to come out, put the fine soft on the bed, moved out of the door tremblingly, and ran away.

Su Yan was confused by her demeanor, and vaguely felt that this seemingly timid young lady was deliberately manipulating her.

Su Yan was about to enter the door, and looked up to take a closer look—Chaoyun Pavilion.
