Traitor and Concubine Quan

The road from Changyang Mansion to Qidong Mansion is full of winding and steep mountain roads. Occasionally, when it is rainy and the rocks are loose, there will be mud and rocks that have fallen from the cliffs and piled up the mountain roads, making it difficult for people to walk.

"My lord, the road ahead has been cut off by mud and rocks. Please rest in the carriage for a while, don't come out. Let the humble staff clear the road before we go on the road."

"Okay." Lin Pin leaned lazily, with a book rolled up in his hand, with the words "Xiaoyaoyou" written on the title page.

Ruan Xixi was so bored, Lin Pin never took the initiative to speak a word to her along the way, he didn't expect that this slick and sycophantic in the government and the public would actually be a saw-mouthed gourd in private, very boring.

Ruan Xixi has never liked the poetry and songs of literati, and she doesn't see people shaking their heads in front of her to play with literary talent.When I was in Mochun Mansion, in the nearby academy, there were often scholars who didn't know the heights of heaven and earth and came to watch her at the gate of her yard, and there were even some who followed her in and out, which made Ruan Xixi feel annoyed.

The carriage stopped, and Ruan Xixi opened the curtains, only to see green mountains and green waters, and mist.From the corner of his head, he glanced at Lin Pin, with sharp eyebrows and fine eyes, gentle and elegant.

"Hey—" Ruan Xixi sighed.If that Qin Huadan hadn't died, maybe there would be something interesting along the way.But now that she died miserably, he could neither keep her nor Zhang Shanwu.It's a pity, a pity, a pity...

These people really can't think about it. As the saying goes, "It's better to die than to live." As long as you live, there is always some hope.If I was as depressed as they were, I don't know how many times I would die, there would be no such person as Ruan Xixi in the world.

"Cross this mountain and you will be able to reach Qidong Mansion." Lin Pin turned a page of the book, peeking out one eye from the back of the book, and glanced at Ruan Xixi, "There is no Dongting perch, but Qishan deer antler."

"Really?!" Ruan Xixi's eyes lit up, and she licked her delicate lips.

Lin Pin suppressed a smile, "A small plate of stir-fried velvet antler is a tael of gold." He gestured with his finger, "Can you afford it?"

Ruan Xixi said coquettishly, "I'm a girl from a poor village, how can I have the money to eat Qishan velvet antler... It's just... I don't know if the famous Lin Bu Zhengshi has the heart to honor me, the future favorite concubine of the Great Jin Dynasty?"

A sharp light flashed in Lin Pin's eyes, and he put down the scroll, "Have you really figured it out?"

Ruan Xixi supported her chin and said, "Well, I figured it out, I'll listen to you."

Lin Pin stared at her delicate face for a moment, then fell silent, and picked up "Getaway" to read again, but the words on the scroll became illusory, and he couldn't understand...

"My lord, it will take some time to clear the road. There is a tea house in front. Your lord can have a cup of tea and rest first."

The carriage was gloomy and damp, Lin Pin shook a cloak to cover his body, but ignored Ruan Xixi, who was in thin clothes, and bent down to get out of the carriage alone.Ruan Xixi stuck out her tongue at his back, not understanding his sudden indifference, and jumped out of the carriage.

The twelve guards were still cleaning up the mud and rocks that had fallen from the landslide. There was indeed a teahouse at a corner not far ahead.

Ruan Xixi saw Lin Pin standing still there, so she leaned over and asked, "Why, why don't you go and sit down? I saw the fragrance of tea overflowing there, and there must be some lo mei stewed in the pot. It's a hot cup in such a cloudy weather. Wine is the best way to remove moisture."

Lin Pin said, "Don't you find it strange that there is such a tea house in the wilderness?"

Ruan Xixi let out a "puchi" laugh.

Lin Pin frowned, "What are you laughing at?"

Ruan Xixi walked around in front of him with her hands behind her back, and said while observing his expression, "Are you afraid?" Seeing that Lin Pin did not return, Ruan Xixi's smile deepened, "Aren't there three twelve guard brothers following you? What are you afraid of? Could it be that you have done a lot of bad things on weekdays, and you are afraid that people will come to seek revenge?"

Lin Pin looked at her coldly, "It seems that you hide your martial arts because you are afraid that people will seek revenge."

Ruan Xixi choked for a moment, and walked towards the teahouse in a swaggering way, "I definitely don't have as many enemies as you. Besides, I know I can't defeat your twelve guards, but I tried my best to escape with light work. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Instead of that, it's better to hide your strength, maybe it will come in handy when necessary.

"My lord..." The twelve guards followed.

Seeing them coming, Lin Pin said, "Let's go, let's go to the teahouse and sit down."

As soon as I was seated, I heard a huge thunder roaring and cracking a little far away, and the ground seemed to vibrate.Lin Pin's face turned pale, and his fingers on the table seemed to tremble.While the lightning was flashing, he turned his head and saw Ruan Xixi, but he saw Ruan Xixi holding her head in her hands, covering her ears, her slender eyebrows were tightly frowned, and her whole body was shaking non-stop.

Lin Pin secretly thought: Could it be that she is also afraid of thunder?

The gloomy drizzle suddenly turned into a torrential rain, and the raindrops were like beans, crackling and smashing.The carriage a little further away had turned into a faint shadow in the rain curtain, and the nine twelve guards who were still bending over to clear the road beside that shadow were left behind.

There are three more left beside Lin Pin and Ruan Xixi.

"Boom——" Another thunderclap exploded beside him. Before Lin Pin could react from the shock, he felt something soft in his arms, and his nose was filled with the fragrance of her body.

Ruan Xixi hid obediently in Lin Pin's arms like a wounded little beast. At this time, he didn't care whether Lin Pin was a loyal minister or a treacherous minister. He just wanted to hold a life-saving straw as a safe haven, so he put his hand She wrapped her arms around Lin Pin's waist and hugged him tightly.He buried his face in Lin Pin's chest, not daring to look up and take another look.

Lin Pin couldn't recover for a while.

Ruan Xixi felt something was wrong at the moment when she buried her head.

Lin Pin's body is very soft, especially the part on his chest, which seems special...

Ruan Xixi held Lin Pin's shoulder with her left hand, and wrapped her right hand around Lin Pin's waist. Taking advantage of the gap, she secretly raised her eyes to look at Lin Pin's chin.Previously, I thought that this treacherous official was too soft and charming, like a woman, but now under the shock of thunder, the majesty he had always established before seemed to be a little loose, and this relaxation made him more feminine and more humane up.

After a while, Lin Pin's voice above his head said coldly, "Have you hugged enough?" Before Ruan Xixi could reply, he pushed Ruan Xixi away.

Ruan Xixi was pushed down to the ground with a "Yeah", and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but seeing Lin Pin's increasingly stern face, she gave up temporarily.He only tapped his own forehead, blaming himself for thinking wildly just now.

"On the eighth day of this month, at the martial arts conference held in Anyang Mansion, it is said that the descendants of the former leader will show up." In the teahouse, a plainly dressed man said to the woman at the same table. pretty.

"Brother, there are a lot of people here." The woman glanced vigilantly in one direction. She had noticed earlier that there was a gorgeously dressed man sitting with a beautiful girl at the next table. Beautiful, and accompanied by three menacing guards, he must be an unusual person.

Seeing the woman glance towards him, Lin Pin sneered and ignored her.

Ruan Xixi's eyes swept back and forth between the woman and Lin Pin, and joked, "Master Lin, I think this girl looks good, why don't you accept her too."

Lin Pin raised his hand to drink from the tea room, and caught a glimpse of the elderly couple on the northwest side. Although their shoes and hats were simple, they were clean and tidy, without any dust or dirt.

There is only one waiter and one chef in the teahouse. The waiter is holding his trouser legs, and his running appearance is a bit funny, like a lame man.The chef kept his back to the guests, busy in the foggy kitchen, the spatula in his hand crackling non-stop.The stove on one side was burning hot, and there was an iron shelf on it, and an iron kettle was placed on the iron shelf, steaming hotly.

Ruan Xixi sat down, took a sip with the teacup in her hand, but spit out the tea in distress, muttering, "What's the taste in this water, it's so bad."

Lin pin said, "The water in Qidong Prefecture is like this."

Ruan Xixi raised her eyebrows, "Master Lin has been to Qidong Mansion before?"

Lin Pin kept a cold face and didn't answer her.

The man and woman at the next table are obviously from the Jianghu. Along the way, they first met Zhang Shanwu, and then met these two people. I heard from them that Anyang Mansion is about to hold a martial arts conference. Qidong Mansion is not far from Anyang Mansion. Look There will be a lot of people from the rivers and lakes there.

Should we bypass Qidong Prefecture?

"Are young heroes and female heroes here to participate in the martial arts conference?" The waiter put a dishcloth on his shoulders while serving dishes, and said courteously, "Many people from the world have been walking around in the past few days, and they all drink tea at our place. .”

The man heard him call himself "Young Hero", and couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Not everyone is qualified to participate in this martial arts conference, they have to have tokens on them."

Xiao Er showed an expression of admiration, "Young Xia has this token on him? It is said that only a few sects in the martial arts have this honor. All the passers-by in the rivers and lakes have no names and surnames, and have never obtained the Fengyuan Order..."

Seeing the shining eyes of the junior sister opposite, the man puffed out his chest and said proudly, "Of course I have it, it's on my body!"

The junior sister was also obviously surprised, she reached out and pressed the man's forearm, "Senior brother Liu, don't show off."

Senior Brother Liu looked at the delicate little hand on his forearm, his thoughts wavered, he reached out and patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, Junior Sister Ding, no one dares to offend our Yuheng sect."

Junior Sister Ding said with thin eyebrows, "When I see Master in Anyang Mansion, I must tell Master what happened on the road. Thanks to Senior Brother Liu's protection, otherwise I would have been punished by that treacherous minister..."

As she spoke, she bowed her head sadly, as if she was about to cry.

Ruan Xixi twitched her ears, stared at the treacherous minister who was sitting peacefully beside her with wide eyes, and wondered to herself when did he offend that Junior Sister Ding?Hasn't he been with himself all this time?Or was it impossible to rob this junior sister surnamed Ding before seeing him, but was stopped by Senior Brother Liu?

Lin Pin was also taken aback when he heard the words, and cast an extra glance at the woman surnamed Ding.Although this woman's appearance is considered outstanding, it is still not at the level that can attract his attention at a glance.It can be said that Lin Pin has seen countless people. From the beginning to the present, there are only two people who can make him feel astonished...

When Ruan Xixi came back to her senses, she saw Lin Pin looking at her, pointed to herself and asked, "Is there something on my face?"

Lin Pin reached out and grabbed her wrist, threatening, "No matter what happens later, you won't be able to take advantage of the chaos and escape."
