Chapter 21: The Moon Falls in the Sky
Liu Mingyue got lost and fled in a hurry, not only lost her way, but also didn't know where she lost her baggage.
"Dead without dust, stinky without dust, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be like this....."
She held a twig in her hand, and every time she took two steps, she would wave a burst of air, as if Li Wuchen was approaching.
'Purr.....' There was a soft sound.
Liu Mingyue touched her stomach, squatted on the ground, hung her head on her knees, and cried loudly, from childhood to adulthood, when did she suffer such grievances and live this kind of life. This has just stepped out of Qingshan Town, and she hasn't even touched the threshold of the rivers and lakes, so she has seen the sinister nature of the human heart, and now she doesn't want to mention how much she hates the stammering and the thin man, after all, if it weren't for them, she should be eating delicious food and drinking sweet mountain spring water in the restaurant in Nanding City now, where would she suffer such a crime.
"I'm so hungry, I stink, come and save me. ”
Now what she thinks about most is Li Wuchen, and she keeps calling Li Wuchen's name in her head.
"Girl, are you alright? ”
As if hearing her inner cry, a gentle male voice sounded.
"Dust-free!"
Liu Mingyue quickly stood up when she heard this, her face was full of surprise, but when she saw the person, her pretty face quickly deflated, and in front of her was a young man in white dressed in a strong suit, plump as jade, with a smile like a spring breeze on her face, but there was an inexplicable majesty.
"I'm fine. ”
After Liu Mingyue saw that this was not Li Wuchen, she replied with a look of loss.
"Where is the girl going, do you need me to give you a ride?"
The man was riding on a tall horse, and as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and added, "My name is Lin Changkong, not a bad person, I am going to Nanding City to worship my ancestors, I see that the girl's horse is lost, if you don't mind, I can give the girl a ride." ”
If it was someone else, it would be fine, but the man in front of him was surnamed Lin, and the bad woman who snatched Li Wuchen in Liu Mingyue's mind just thought about refusing, but his stomach screamed angrily.
When Lin Changkong saw her embarrassment, he immediately laughed, took out a white cloth bag from his waist bag, dismounted and handed it to Liu Mingyue, and said with a smile, "I still have a little bit of jerky, if you don't dislike it, you can eat it first, it's a big deal to go back to Nanding City, and then you invite me to eat it." ”
Liu Mingyue thought for a moment and felt that it was right, so she took the white cloth bag, and after taking out a piece of jerky, she carefully tore off a piece and put it in her mouth, which is also related to Liu Yuan's teaching from childhood to adulthood, no matter how hungry you are, you must maintain a beautiful demeanor.
Lin Changkong didn't speak when he saw this, and he was also thinking about which pearl had been lost recently, and after thinking about it for a long time, he had no clue, so he had to give up.
After eating the jerky and drinking a pot of mountain springs, Liu Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, but she was not too embarrassed to get on Lin Changkong's horse, so she had to learn the etiquette of the rivers and lakes awkwardly, and hugged her fist towards Lin Changkong and said, "Thank you for the grace of the son, but there is a difference between men and women, Mingyue should go to Nanding City by herself." ”
Lin Changkong smiled, the more he looked at this girl, the more he liked it, and asked, "Your name is Mingyue, good name, I'm not in a hurry, looking at your appearance, I'm afraid that I will get lost and be robbed, why don't you and I be companions, you sit on the horse, and I will lead the horse for you, so that there is someone to accompany you on the way, and it won't be too boring." ”
As soon as Liu Mingyue wanted to refuse, Lin Changkong led the horse in front of him and gently helped her up.
"Please don't refuse, Miss Mingyue, and accompany this benevolent man who hasn't seen anyone along the way. ”
After hearing this, Liu Mingyue was no longer hypocritical, stepped on the saddle, and got on the horse.
"Dare to ask Miss Mingyue's surname. ”
Lin Changkong led the horse in front, turned back as he walked, and asked Liu Mingyue.
"My name is Liu Mingyue. ”
Liu Mingyue hesitated for a moment, but still told the other party her name.
"Liu Mingyue ......"
Lin Changkong pondered for a moment, then suddenly stopped, turned to her and asked, "Are you the granddaughter of Liu Yuan, Liu Ningyuan, a master of calligraphy?"
"Do you know my grandfather?"
Liu Mingyue, who has been with Liu Yuan since she was a child, didn't know that her grandfather was so famous.
"There was a relationship with one side, but I wanted to apprentice but couldn't. ”
Lin Changkong said with a hint of regret.
"If you have the opportunity, I will introduce you. ”
For this young man who helped him, Liu Mingyue still remembers the kindness, and decided to have the opportunity to introduce his grandfather to him in the future, if the old man does not agree to accept him as an apprentice, he will ignore him in the future.
Lin Changkong was very talkative, and kept chatting with Liu Mingyue along the way, and the two of them just walked and chatted with each other.
...................................
In Lin Fuzhong, after Li Wuchen had done the morning class, he packed up his salute, and then found Lin Yi, who was still having breakfast.
Lin Yi seemed to have forgotten what happened yesterday, and treated Li Wuchen with the same enthusiasm as before, "Wuchen is here, hurry, I'll leave you breakfast." ”
Li Wuchen didn't sit down, and arched his hand to Lin Yi and said, "I still have a few flavors of medicine, and I need to travel far, and today I am here to bid farewell to Uncle Lin." ”
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said, "Can't you stay for a few more days?"
Li Wuchen shook his head and replied, "It's approaching August, I'm going to Lingyun Peak to make an appointment, and at the same time, there is still a missing spirit grass on it that needs to be obtained." ”
What he said is indeed not wrong, there is a very rare spirit flower on Lingyun Peak, called 'Phantom Sea Flower', which blooms once in ten years, if it is picked within half an hour and preserved, it will quickly wither, so it is very rare, and according to Old Man Qiu's calculations, if you miss this time, I am afraid that it will take another ten years.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have gone to that inexplicable appointment.
"In this way, I will not keep you, and after breakfast, I will ask Zhengbo to prepare a carriage for you. ”
Lin Yi sighed regretfully, and no longer kept the other party.
After eating breakfast in a hurry, Li Wuchen refused Lin Yi's carriage and still rode his original gray horse out of the city.
Soon after Li Wuchen left the city, a young man led a white horse into the city, and on that horse sat a girl in a green dress with a delicate face but a somewhat gray face.
"Where are you going?"
Lin Changkong turned his head and looked at Liu Mingyue, but it was time to separate.
"I'm going to the General's Palace. ”
Liu Mingyue had some joy on her face, there were too many setbacks along the way, but fortunately, she finally arrived in Nanding, she thought in her heart that she would beat him up when she saw Li Wuchen later, no matter what, she had to say this tone.
"Are you going to find your dustless brother?"
Lin Changkong's eyes were a little dim, and his voice was a little subtle, which was extremely inconsistent with his sunny and confident and cheerful appearance.
Liu Mingyue didn't hear what the other party said, stepped on the stirrup lightly, turned over and got off the horse, hugged her fist awkwardly towards Lin Changkong again, learned the tone of the people in the rivers and lakes, and said in a coquettish voice, "Thank you Brother Lin for saving you righteously, we will meet again." ”
To be honest, her tone and her movements were very strange, attracting the attention of countless passers-by and amusing Lin Changkong again.
"I'll meet you soon, Miss Mingyue. ”
Lin Changkong hugged his fists solemnly, and there was a banquet in the world, although he liked Liu Mingyue in front of him very much in his heart, but he couldn't stop her from finding a lover.
After saying goodbye, Liu Mingyue left in a hurry, but looking at her brisk pace, she was very excited in her heart.
Not long after Liu Mingyue left, the Liao Governor's Mansion hurriedly came with more than a dozen officials wearing official uniforms, knelt down on Lin Changkong's knees, and shouted with his hands, "Liao Changming, the prefect of Nanding City, is late to welcome the Second Prince, and asks His Royal Highness the Second Prince to atone for his sins." ”
Lin Changkong didn't speak, he stood with his hands in his hands, and quietly watched Liu Mingyue's voice and shadow disappear in front of him, and then said abruptly for a long time, "Recently, there is a person named Li Wuchen in the city?"
Liao Changming couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this name that almost made him fall on his head, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and asked in disbelief, "Li Wuchen?"
Lin Changkong's gaze was still firmly locked on the direction of Liu Mingyue's departure, and when he heard Liao Changming's answer, his eyes froze, sweeping over the other party like a sword, with an inexplicable majesty, which made Liao Changming, who was already kneeling, bury his head lower.
"There was a Li Wuchen who came to Nanding City, and he had a very good personal relationship with General Lin, and it is said that he also assisted General Lin in quelling the Tusi rebellion. ”
Liao Changming kept an eye on it, knowing that even if he didn't say these things, Lin Changkong would be able to find out, so he simply replied to his words without hesitation, and at the same time secretly decided that he must break his brother-in-law's other leg later.
"In this way, he is also a talent. ”
After Lin Changkong finished speaking, he also added a sentence in his heart, "However, if you are worthy of Shangmingyue, you have to pass the teaching test." ’
After Liu Mingyue left the city gate, she went straight to the general's mansion, and after reporting the names of Lin Yi and Li Wuchen, the guards on duty hurriedly went in to report.
Without the trouble of toast, Lin Yi came out very quickly, looked at Liu Mingyue in front of him, and said with a smile, "You are Xiao Yue'er who is often mentioned by Wuchen." ”
As soon as Liu Mingyue heard Li Wuchen mention her, the anger in her heart couldn't help but dissipate a lot, and she hurriedly asked, "General Lin, where is Brother Wuchen?"
Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, and said with some embarrassment, "He went to Lingyun Peak in the morning, and now he has walked at least thirty miles." ”
Liu Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and didn't say anything more to Lin Yi, and hurriedly ran out, muttering on the side of her mouth, "Dead dustless, smelly dustless, I will definitely beat you to death if I catch me." ”
Lin Yi froze and walked in place, nor did he go, but Liu Mingyue didn't go far and ran back, and said a little embarrassedly, "General Lin, my horse was killed by bandits, can I ask you to borrow a horse and be a little entangled." ”
After that, it seemed that he was afraid that Lin Yi would not agree, and hurriedly promised, "Don't worry, as soon as I find Wuchen, I will come back to return you." ”
After listening to Liu Mingyue's words, Lin Yi smiled awkwardly, patted his chest and promised, "What do you think is the matter, you wait, everything is wrapped up in uncle's body!"
