Liu Jingxuan looked at Zhuge Qinglin with some doubts: "In that case, then why do you still believe me?"

Zhuge Qinglin smiled indifferently, her cheeks were red, like peach blossoms: "I didn't believe you before." Everyone is preaching about your brave life and death and courage to survive the flood, but I have not seen it with my own eyes. I always felt that it was just a rumor. Which official is not a hypocrite who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is sanctimonious, on the surface he is loyal to the monarch and loves the people, but in fact he is a male thief and a prostitute. More than once I have wanted to expose your hypocrisy. ”

Liu Jingxuan said with a look of surprise: "Looking at your usual life, I didn't expect it to be so insidious." ”

Zhuge Qinglin was not moved by Liu Jingxuan's words in the slightest: "I am not harmless to people's hearts, how can I be insidious? Later, when you gave a lecture at Jingxian Academy, I was even more sure that you were a person who was selling your reputation and reputation. ”

Liu Jingxuan took a sip of wine, and then said, "Then when did you start trusting me?"

Zhuge Qinglin was out of his mind and muttered, "You are alone, obstructing the day of the execution in the court." That day I will never forget. Mourning is all over the field, and weeping is all over the ground. At that time, the heavens were furious, and the wind was fierce and the hail was struck. But you knelt so quietly on the bench, waiting for the knife to come. I never believed that anyone would be selfless enough to be in such a situation, but I really saw it. The next day, God forgave all the capital sins, but not you. Nangong Xuanyun and I both tried our best to ensure that you robbed the prison and fought against the prison, but in order not to disturb others, you did not leave quietly in the end. From that moment on, I decided that you were the person I trusted all my life, a beacon for me to walk through the night. I began to notice that the sun was shining brightly, the air was exceptionally fresh, and even the rain outside the window was a little warmer. ”

Liu Jingxuan sighed: "Maybe I don't deserve your trust so much. ”

Zhuge Qinglin's eyes were confused: "If even you can't believe it, I don't know what else can be believed in this world." ”

Liu Jingxuan raised his eyebrows and said softly: "I have a lot of secrets, you don't know. And I don't know whether to tell you or not. ”

Zhuge Qinglin smiled indifferently, but said in a firm tone: "It's okay. All you have to do is know I'm willing to tell you my secret. ”

Liu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered his head, gently stroked the wine glass with the fingers of his right hand, and asked softly, "Then how do you know that I am not dead?"

"It was a pure accident. When I went to worship at your grave, I happened to meet Princess Chunyu and a group of people who dug up your grave. That's when I realized you weren't dead. ”

Liu Jingxuan gritted his teeth and snorted: "This woman is so vicious that she can even do such things as digging graves." I'm afraid that she won't have anything good to repay in the future. ”

Zhuge Qinglin smiled slightly: "That pure princess is indeed very capable of doing things, but the adults are only half a catty and eight taels." ”

Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "I will never do this kind of thing that damages yin and morality." ”

Zhuge Qinglin smiled even more heartily: "My lord, I don't have to say it so sure for the time being. Not only do I know that the Lord is not dead, but I also know that the Lord has a good relationship with Chu Jinglian, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Pavilion. ”

Liu Jingxuan couldn't help but be shocked: "How can you see it?"

Zhuge Qinglin pointed to the silver rainbow sword beside Liu Jingxuan, and said indifferently: "Everyone in the world knows that the silver rainbow sword is a peerless divine weapon that was known as the first in the world back then. Chu Jinglian was able to give this sword to adults, which shows how much Chu Jinglian believes in adults. Moreover, outside Yangzhou City, when Shangguan Yunying and I intercepted Chu Jinglian, the adult used the Xuantie shield to rescue Chu Jinglian, and I recognized you, my lord. ”

Liu Jingxuan said with a puzzled face: "I remember that day I was covered with a light veil and only showed two eyes, how did you recognize it, girl?"

Zhuge Qinglin crossed the ten fingers of his hands, propped up his pink chin, and said with a smile: "Believe it or not, I am a hundred steps away, as long as I look at your back, I can recognize you." ”

Liu Jingxuan sighed in his heart. He didn't know when he had left such a deep mark in Zhuge Qinglin's heart.

Zhuge Qinglin raised his head and looked at Liu Jingxuan: "Although I don't know why you want to help Chu Jinglian, I believe that you must be right to do this." And I see that you seem to have some resemblance to him. ”

Liu Jingxuan diverted the topic and said: "That Zhuge Yue girl is with you day and night, why is she not by your side now." ”

Zhuge Qinglin sighed: "I found that Princess Chunyu was in a hurry, and left Yangzhou City the next day. Therefore, he chased all the way, and did not bring Xiaoyue. However, Xiaoyue is with her sister now, so it shouldn't be a big deal. ”

The two chatted while eating, and before they knew it, they had reached the second watch.

There was a soft knock on the door. Immediately afterwards, a subordinate voice came from outside the door: "Young Master Liu, it's not early, you have eaten well, can you let me wait in and clean up the leftovers?"

Zhuge Qinglin got up quietly, slowly returned to his West House, and then closed the door. Liu Jingxuan said loudly: "Please come in!"

At the opening of the gate, three or four mermaids entered. The leader was about twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and said with a smile: "Young Master Liu, I'm really sorry to disturb your meal." There is still a lot to prepare for tomorrow, so the little ones have come to clean up so that the master on the stove can rest early. ”

Liu Jingxuan's face turned red and smiled awkwardly: "I'm bothered." ”

When the servants had finished cleaning, they quietly withdrew from the door. After Liu Jingxuan and Zhuge Qinglin washed up, they rested separately.

As soon as Liu Jingxuan lay down, he heard the noisy footsteps outside the courtyard. The sound was intermittent and lasted until the third watch. Liu Jingxuan couldn't help but say to himself: "It seems that there is really something tomorrow." ”

The next morning, the rain subsided. Liu Jingxuan and Zhuge Qinglin had breakfast, and after preparing to say goodbye to Bi Chunming, they set off on the road. After about half an hour, Bi Chunming hurried to the small courtyard.

Liu Jingxuan smiled and said, "Thank you Butler Bi for your hospitality." I'm going to hit the road today, so I'm leaving. He waved his hand.

Bi Chunming waved his hand and said with a smile: "A little thing is not enough to worry about." It's just that the son and his wife can't go yet, and the owner of my family held a hero meeting today, and I specially invited the son to take a look. I wonder if I can enjoy my face?"

Liu Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, just wanting to shirk. Zhuge Qinglin pushed open the door and walked out: "Since the owner of the village has been invited, I am disrespectful." Please also ask Steward Bi to lead the way. ”

Liu Jingxuan saw that Zhuge Qinglin agreed, so he couldn't shirk it anymore, and said with a smile: "Then there will be a housekeeper for Laobi." ”
