Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight

They nodded to me, called me "Miss", and walked in one after the other. They said to Feng Long, "Let's help you wash up."

After that, one of them put the basin at Fenglong's feet, took off his shoes and socks, and washed his feet. The other one brought the basin to Fenglong's hand, and Fenglong first put it in to wash his hands, and then took the towel to dry them. When the servant saw that he had finished wiping, he put the basin aside, wet a face towel, and carefully wiped his face.

I saw him with his eyes closed, thick eyebrows and a high nose, a handsome man with a majestic appearance. I looked past him to the knife and the Red Emperor whip hanging on the wall, and my heart tightened when I thought of his ending.

The servant who wiped Feng Long's face was very skillful and finished it quickly. He then ran to the teacup on the table and poured a cup of hot water for Feng Long. He handed it to Feng Long and said, "Young Master, please rinse your mouth."

Fenglong took it, gargled vigorously, and finally spit the water into the basin. The foot-washing boy wiped his feet dry and brought him a pair of slippers to change into, and that was the end of the wash.

The two men put away their towels, bowed, and said, "We will not be here to serve you tonight. Sir and lady, please go to bed early. We will be leaving now." Then they picked up the basin and walked towards the door.

As soon as I saw it, I rushed to open the door for them. The taller one smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, young lady. The night is short, please come back soon."

I stared blankly at the two of them walking into the night. A gust of wind gave me a startle, and I gently closed the door, but I didn't dare to turn around. Tu Shanjing's suggestion to let me be a concubine was probably a temporary expedient, but I don't know how Fenglong understood it...

I heard Feng Long standing up from behind me, which frightened me. Then I heard footsteps clattering towards the inner room.

He turned over and got on the bed, and the quilt rustled. When the noise stopped, his voice rang out: "Tonight, young lady, please stay on the couch in the outer room. Tomorrow morning, we will make plans with Jing."

I breathed a sigh of relief, secretly disgusted with myself for being paranoid, and slowly walked back to the couch.

There was a blanket piled on the couch, and I put the thin quilt that Senying brought underneath it, and spread the blanket on top of the quilt, thinking that it wouldn't be cold at night. I also lifted the quilt and lay down.

Hearing me lie down, Feng Long waved a few palm winds in the air, and the remaining candles went out, and the room became completely dark. Only the window was still slightly lit, probably because of the light reflected from the snow outside.

I was very tired, but it was hard to fall asleep. I turned over several times, and Feng Long suddenly said, "Lanxiang, let me ask you, do you know the final outcome of the Monkey King?"

I was a little amused, so was Xiao Hui, and so was he. All boys seemed to be the same, unable to forget this story. I replied: "The Great Sage was not afraid of hardships and difficulties, and he and his master and brothers went through 81 trials along the way. In the end, he finally obtained the true scriptures, achieved the right result, and was named Fighting Buddha."

Feng Long laughed: "What?! After fighting all over the four continents and three realms, and traveling all over the nine heavens and four seas, you finally surrendered?"

I replied, "Perhaps it is because after fighting all over, he finally realized that it is just like that, it is lonely at the top, so he looked for a new place to go. Subduing demons and protecting the way, sincerely worshipping Buddha, as long as he agrees in his heart, it is a good place to go."

Feng Long said, "That's right. He has a character that would rather break than bend. If he doesn't want to, even if someone puts five hundred mountains on him, he won't obey!"

I thought about it and couldn't help but say, "Fighting and killing for a long time, maybe you will get tired. And - Master, I heard that weapons like swords and knives are murderous when placed in the bedroom, which is not good for the body. It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Lanxiang said something presumptuous, why don't you take it, just as a way to strengthen your body. In the future, do business with the young master, drink and watch plays all day, practice when you feel itchy, and rest after practicing, okay?"

Feng Long remained silent. I was afraid that he was angry, so I pinched the corner of the quilt tightly. At the moment, I really couldn't find a better reason to persuade him to give up martial arts and pursue literature, so as to avoid the fate of dying in battle in the future.

After a moment, he said, "Thank you for your kindness. But a man's ambition is to travel far and wide, and it is hard to forget the mountains and rivers of his homeland. The current situation is changing rapidly, and many forces are intertwined. Although my father has surrendered, the people of his homeland are still there, and our Chishui clan is still there, and we have always been the target of others' strict defense. If I just give up and do business when I'm busy, and eat, drink and have fun when I'm free, I will lose my skills. If there is a war in the future and I need to go to the battlefield, I don't want to be defeated by the enemy's pawns in the first battle."

I closed my eyes in the darkness and whispered, "It was Lanxiang who was not thoughtful enough and said too much. Please don't take it to heart. Lanxiang wishes you to improve your skills and be invincible."

He laughed and said, "I'm glad to hear your words! But that's all for nothing. You should go to sleep first. There will always be a way out when the car reaches the mountain. Don't be like your son, who thinks about things all day long. Be careful that your hair turns white and wrinkles appear on your face!"

I said "yes" and heard him turn over and soon he started snoring loudly. He was really cheerful and didn't let the things from the previous night get to him. He was so good at falling asleep as soon as he said he would.

I closed my eyes in a daze. Although I calmed down and stopped thinking, my brain was not working and my ears were very tired. I covered my ears with the quilt and lay on my side.

I was half asleep and half awake, and I felt that the bed was too hard and the quilt was too hot, so I couldn't fall asleep. I simply got up, went to the table and poured myself a glass of water, fumbled to open the lid of the sweet-scented osmanthus pea yellow, took a piece and put it into my mouth and chewed it slowly.

The howling wind outside stopped, and the shadows of the tree branches projected on the window were intertwined and motionless. I wondered if Tu Shanjing was sleeping soundly at this moment, and if he couldn't sleep like me, what he was doing. I also wondered if he had calmed down, and whether he had thought about how to defend against Yue Liang's back-up plan before going to bed...

As I was thinking, I thought of him standing alone in the garden before I came back. I felt a lump in my throat and wanted to go outside to get some fresh air. I touched Tu Shanjing's robe that was previously placed on the stool. The robe had a similar smell to mine. I put on the robe and tiptoed to the door, thinking of getting some fresh air on the porch.

Unexpectedly, Feng Long suddenly said, "Stop!"

I was startled and turned around, just about to ask him, but he turned over and said vaguely: "You dare to act wild in front of me, I will beat you up..."

It turned out that he was talking in his sleep, which startled me. I pulled the latch gently, and as soon as I opened the door, the fresh air outside with fine snowflakes blew in my face.

I walked to the porch and saw a tall, thin white figure far away in the courtyard. It was very eye-catching in the night and looked like a snowman. I don't know which maid or boy made it, but the technique was quite good as they piled it so high but it didn't fall down.
