Cui Zhouping looked around: "Where is Her Royal Highness the princess now?"

Liu Jingxuan smiled: "I was scared away by you just now." ”

Cui Zhouping thought for a while and said, "Since Her Royal Highness the princess has discovered your whereabouts, my lord. It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and please leave Jiangning Mansion immediately. ”

Liu Jingxuan nodded: "I'll leave immediately." ”

Cui Zhouping ordered someone to bring facial cleansing water and mouthwash, Zhuge Qinglin and Liu Jingxuan had finished freshening up, hurriedly ate breakfast, and were about to board. Two men brought two war horses, one black and one white. The black one is the war horse under Liu Jingxuan's crotch. The white one doesn't know where Cui Zhouping got it.

Cui Zhouping personally sent Liu Jingxuan and Zhuge Qinglin out of the west gate of Jiangning Mansion, and then handed Liu Jingxuan a burden. Liu Jingxuan stretched out his hands to take it, and suddenly felt very heavy. When I opened it, I couldn't help but be stunned, and the baggage was full of yellow horseshoe gold.

Liu Jingxuan handed the burden back to Cui Zhouping: "Shopkeeper Cui, this gold is too much, and it is inconvenient to carry it with you." I've got enough coils on me, so please take this gold back!"

Cui Zhouping smiled slightly: "Lord Liu, although I don't know what kind of friendship you have with the pavilion master. But with this silver rainbow sword being handed over to the adult, it shows that the pavilion master and the adult are life-changing friendship. This thousand taels of gold is nothing. My lord, you take it with you, with the silver rainbow in your hand, and you are afraid that the thief will not be able to remember. In times of crisis, this gold may even be able to help adults get out of trouble. After that, Cui Zhouping pushed the burden back to Liu Jingxuan.

Liu Jingxuan saw that Cui Zhouping had made up his mind, so he smiled and said: "Since the shopkeeper Cui is sincere, then I will accept it with a smile." ”

Liu Jingxuan, Zhuge Qinglin and Cui Zhouping said goodbye, and then beat their horses and whipped to the west.

After walking for a while, Liu Jingxuan slowed down the speed of the horse and asked Zhuge Qinglin softly: "Zhuge girl, thank you for saving your life." It's just that where you plan to go, Liu will give you a ride. ”

Zhuge Qinglin glanced at Liu Jingxuan and said indifferently, "Then where are you going?"

Liu Jingxuan thought for a moment and sighed lightly: "I am now a ghostly person. is like a lonely ghost, and can no longer share the worries of the people. I still have a bad relationship with Chu Jinglian, so I plan to rush to Yunnan to see him. ”

Zhuge Qinglin said lightly: "Then I also want to go to Yunnan to see how it is different from the Central Plains." ”

Liu Jingxuan said with a smile: "The mountains in Yunnan are high and the road is far away, and the girl will go with me, but I am afraid that I will suffer a lot of hardships and many crimes." ”

Zhuge Qinglin raised his eyes to look at Liu Jingxuan, and still said lightly: "Follow the adult, what's the harm in suffering and sinning?"

Liu Jingxuan looked at Zhuge Qinglin with some embarrassment: "Why did the girl say that?"

Zhuge Qinglin looked at the distant mountains in the sky, and said lightly: "I have lived in Sichuan Bird Forest for a long time, and I rarely visit all parts of the Central Plains. But it's not like I've never seen a mountain woman in the world. If the adults dislike the vulgarity of the people's girls, they are unbearable to walk with the adults. The folk girl will take her leave. ”

Liu Jingxuan shook his head: "Miss Zhuge , you should know that I didn't mean that. Since the girl is willing to walk with me, I am honored to be Liu Jingxuan. After speaking, Liu Jingxuan subconsciously stroked his beard with his right hand. It's a pity that it's empty.

Liu Jingxuan said with some annoyance: "Now that the beard has been cut off, how should I meet people in the future?"

Zhuge Qinglin laughed. The smile was as bright as spring, like a peach blossom: "I look good." ”

Liu Jingxuan glanced at Zhuge Qinglin in disbelief, and subconsciously touched his chin with both hands: "Will it be like a eunuch, making people feel that they lack manly bearing?"

Zhuge Qinglin smiled faintly: "I think it's good to be ten years younger." On weekdays, you always carry a prefect's shelf, and I feel tired when I look at it!"

Liu Jingxuan sighed, and then suddenly looked up to the sky and smiled: "Yes! Since the girl said so, Liu will not have a beard for the time being. ”

At this time, in Zhuge Qinglin's eyes, Liu Jingxuan lost his beard, and he showed his scorching and jade demeanor. Zhuge Qinglin rarely smiled so heartily. Liu Jingxuan and Zhuge Qinglin walked west side by side, chatting while walking, and unconsciously disappeared on the official road of a distant mountain.

On the official road ten miles outside the south gate of Luzhou Mansion in Anhui Province, a red lacquered carriage walked slowly. In front of the carriage were two tall horses, one black and one white. The driver was a man, dressed in a gray robe, with a face as white as jade, colorful eyebrows, and eyes like stars. This person is none other than Liu Jingxuan.

Not long after leaving Jiangning Mansion, Liu Jingxuan bought a red-painted carriage. He asked Zhuge Qinglin to sit in the carriage, and a thick brocade mattress was spread inside, so that it could be more comfortable and avoid showing his face. In order not to let the carriage be too bumpy, Liu Jingxuan did not drive fast. Zhuge Qinglin was tired and rested in the carriage for a while, and when he woke up, he lifted the curtain and looked at the scenery on the side of the road. They stayed at the hotel early, and when the sun had risen, they set out on their way.

Ten days later, Liu Jingxuan and Zhuge Qinglin gradually left Jiangsu Province and entered Anhui. I don't know when, dark clouds floated in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, rolling in. In an instant, raindrops the size of beans fell.

Zhuge Qinglin's voice came from inside the carriage: "Lord Liu, come in and take shelter from the rain!"

Liu Jingxuan looked up at the dense drizzle in the sky, and said lightly: "If I go in, I'm afraid that I will tarnish Miss's reputation." ”

Zhuge Qinglin also said lightly: "The so-called clean person is self-purifying." I didn't expect adults to be so pedantic now. ”

Liu Jingxuan sighed, shook the rain on his body, and said, "Everyone has their own beliefs and attachments. I never force others, but I also don't want to change myself. Besides, you see these two horses pulling the cart in the rain, but we are enjoying the happiness in the carriage, which makes everyone a little unbearable. ”

Zhuge Qinglin's voice was no longer heard in the carriage.

The horse's hooves trampled, Liu Jingxuan drove the carriage slowly, looked up, passed through the drizzle, and found that there was a mountain villa not far from the high slope of the road in front. A smile appeared on Liu Jingxuan's face, and he said to the carriage: "There is a mountain villa in front, I will rest here for the time being, and it will not be too late to hurry tomorrow when the weather is fine." ”

Zhuge Qinglin's leisurely words came from the carriage: "Everything is arranged by the adults." ”

Liu Jingxuan came to the gate of the villa, jumped out of the car, and looked up. Nice and stylish lodge. The gate of this villa alone is three zhang high, and the gatehouses on both sides are seven or eight zhang. Vermilion black pillars with dense copper nails. On the top beam of the gate hangs a gold lacquer plaque with four large characters written on it: "Innocent Villa".

Liu Jingxuan was slightly stunned, and then hurriedly stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker. After a long time, the corner door opened, and a head poked out of it. This person is about forty years old, with a slight black beard and a dark blue robe, which looks more elegant. He looked Liu Jingxuan up and down for a long time, and then said, "Your Excellency?"
