Chapter 12: Rosecastle
This thin young man is naturally Cai Ling'er, and she naturally followed Chen Mingye all the way out of the restaurant. Fortunately, Chen Ming's walking at night was not fast, and she was hiding in Tibet, but it was not difficult for her to follow.
"What are you doing at the City God Temple?" she muttered as she walked as she thought, and accidentally bumped into a man.
Chen Mingye looked at the girl who bumped into his arms with a smile, and asked, "What are you doing with me?"
"Who...... Who is following you!" Cai Ling'er looked up and saw that it was him, and immediately panicked, "Anshun City is so big, I just walked around, how do I know that I will bump into you." ”
"I just heard someone talking about the City God Temple," Chen Mingye smiled.
Cai Ling'er replied with confidence: "Yes, I came to this Anshun City when I was very young, and I haven't been to the City God Temple for a long time. ”
"Oh, it's such a coincidence, I just want to go," Chen Mingye nodded, "Why don't you stop by and introduce me too?"
"It's okay, I'll reluctantly promise you. Cai Linger craned her neck proudly.
Chen Mingye said: "Thank you little boy for that." ”
Cai Ling'er waved her hand: "You're polite." ”
So the two who said that they would part ways had just been separated for less than an hour, and they went to the City God Temple together.
The City God Temple is located in the middle of the city and is the god of the city who guards the side. The main god of Anshun City is the general who stabilized the peace of southern Xinjiang before, and the people in the city are quite reverent about it, so it can be regarded as the peak of incense.
Entering the door and passing through the instrument gate is the main hall, the main gate hangs the plaque of "City God Temple", and the two sides are the upper and lower links of gold characters on a black background. Chen Mingye raised his eyes and saw that the upper link was to be a good person, the body and the soul were stable, and the lower link was to do some good deeds.
The two of them entered the hall, and the statue of the general of Nanchu should be enshrined in the center of the hall, and there were civil and military judges sitting on the left and right, which was vast and majestic.
Chen Mingye looked at it carefully: "It's quite exquisite." ”
"Hmph," Cai Ling'er snorted coldly, "Although he has pacified the war in Southern Xinjiang, he can be regarded as a clansman who killed a lot of my Aoki." ”
"You don't like him?"
"Decades have passed, and I just heard my grandfather talk about what happened back then, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Cai Ling'er shook her head and said, "He is worthy of the position of this city god, but he is in his rightful position." ”
Chen Mingye nodded, walked around the hall a few times at random, and when he went out of the temple gate, he still saw people burning incense sincerely in twos and threes to worship and pray to the statue of the main god.
"The incense is in full bloom. Chen Mingye sighed, "Guarding is a blessing, extending a good name, attacking and killing is creating a karma, and children and grandchildren do not exist." ”
Seeing that he looked lonely, Cai Ling'er didn't interject and followed silently.
The east and west of the main hall are the God of Wealth Hall and the Cihang Hall respectively. Chen Mingye walked around, obviously a little absent-minded.
"What are you doing here at the City God Temple?" after a long time, Cai Ling'er couldn't help but ask.
Chen Mingye spread his hands: "I don't know." ”
"It's a lie again!" Cai Ling'er pouted.
"Wait. Chen Mingye said lightly.
Cai Ling'er asked, "What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for someone who should come. ”
Cai Ling'er bounced her hands along the green bricks on the floor with her hands behind her back, she didn't say when she would leave, and Chen Mingye didn't ask.
————————————————
Haoming Northern Xinjiang, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, the world is vast.
On the vast snowfield, the huge Luoquecheng is only like a drop in the sea from a distance, as if there is a little wind and snow, there is a risk of capsizing.
However, Luoque City since the founding of Haoming Dynasty is an important town in the northern border, the original name of Yang Shouguan small city, since the opening of the Dynasty Taizu Yubi Qin gave the word "Luoque City", it has gone through decades of heavy construction, before and after the three feudal officials painstakingly operated, before and after the creation of today's scale.
The word Luoque, the majestic ambition jumped on the paper, which is a self-metaphor for the tiger, wanting to swallow the northern desert.
It's a pity that when Haoming Taizu's martial arts were at their peak, he wanted to take down the Northern Desert with the power of sweeping the Central Plains and dominating the world, and the three-way army was smooth at the beginning, but after going deep into the Northern Desert, it was ambushed, and the army was hit hard, and Taizu himself was wounded by arrows, and he died soon after returning to Beijing in a hurry.
Since then, the first emperor and the Son of Heaven of the current dynasty have strictly followed the will of Taizu, and have not forgotten the ambition of annexing the Northern Desert and dominating the world, but the first emperor lost the thirteen cities of Yanyun in his hands, and the son of today has no merit, but Luoque City was indeed built under the heavy army hoarding.
Today's Luoque City Lord, who is also one of the frontier officials in Beizhou, talks about the change of color in the court, and Yang Jian, who is known as the "Executioner City Lord", is quite funny at the moment slumped on the chair, looking at the woman standing opposite him with a bitter face.
"I said daughter, do we really have to provoke that stinky boy?"
"Father," the woman gritted her teeth, "if you don't want to let me go to him, I'll go alone!"
"What nonsense are you talking about, you let a team of guards accompany you to the bitter cold place in southern Xinjiang, how can I agree!" Yang Jian blew his beard angrily and glared, "I don't know what is so good about that kid?"
"I just understand!" The woman glanced at him, "I, Yang Ziyan, swear here, that I will not marry him in this life!"
When Yang Jian heard this, he was furious: "Nonsense! If you dare to say it again, I will break your legs!"
"I want to say, I want to say!" The woman who claimed to be Yang Ziyan played a brutal character, refused to give in at all, and pressed step by step.
"You!" Yang Jian got up angrily, raised his hand and was about to fight.
"You fight!" Yang Ziyan didn't dodge or dodge, and looked at him with her neck stalked.
Yang Jian looked at the stubborn appearance of the woman in front of him, but the hand that was originally raised could not fall.
Yang Ziyan glared at him, and her beautiful little face was a little red at the moment.
"Hey," the hand that had held the sword Qiantu was still stable, and it trembled slightly at this moment. Finally, Yang Jian sighed, put down his raised hand, and spread back on the chair, "I can't beat you anymore." ”
"Dad," Yang Ziyan held the trembling hand, rough and heavy, and the palm was full of calluses, "I know that you have always spoiled me, and this time is really the last time my daughter will be willful." ”
Yang Jian held his daughter with his backhand, but his tiger eyes were a little gloomy, "Yan'er, do you know who Chen Mingye is?"
"The son of the former Governor of the Northern State, and now an exile, I like him, and I won't change anything because of the change in his status. Yang Ziyan said firmly.
"Now, he is no longer the son of the Beizhou State Shepherd," Yang Jian slowly raised his head, as if reminiscing, "Now, it is time to be called the queen of sinners." ”
Yang Ziyan hurriedly said: "Who is Uncle Chen, don't you know, how could he collaborate with the enemy and commit treason!"
"I know what's the use," Yang Jian shook his head, his voice was slow, "Collaborating with the enemy and treason is His Majesty's decree, and it is a crime!"
"That's wronged!" Yang Ziyan said indignantly.
Yang Jian squeezed his daughter's hand violently: "Be cautious!"
"Dad, are you not willing to let me go to him because of this?"
Yang Jian sighed: "Isn't this enough? Do you want the whole family to be implicated by you?"
Yang Ziyan shook her head: "No, three years have passed since that incident, I think Your Majesty will not pursue it anymore." ”
Yang Jian let go of his daughter's hand and stood up. Looking up at the sky outside the house, he let out a slight sigh, and then said, "Then I won't allow it, I can't let you try it with the lives of the whole family." ”
Yang Ziyan shook off his hand: "Is it okay as long as your daughter is out of relationship with you and no longer affects this Yang Mansion?"
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Yang Ziyan said with a firm expression: "I'm not talking nonsense, I think so and will do it." ”
"I've spoiled you so much all these years!" Yang Jian glanced at her and waved his hand, "Come on, take the young lady down and keep her under strict supervision, and don't let her go out of the room for half a step until she is willing to repent." ”
Yang Ziyan didn't say a word, but her trembling clenched fists revealed the turbulence in her heart at the moment.
Yang Jian looked at his daughter's stubborn back and was silent.
For a long time, as if he was tired, he waved his hand, let everyone go down, picked up the pot and poured a cup of tea, and pondered.
He was the only one sitting in the whole hall, and it was a little empty.
"Brother Chen Bai," Yang Jian smiled bitterly and sighed silently, "I hope you don't let me wait in vain." ”
