Imposter Queen

It is June in Gulian County, Jiuyang County, Guangdong Province. The sun at noon is as hot as fire, making people restless. There are few pedestrians on the streets of the county town, and no one wants to go out to work in such hot weather. Only a few sparrows on the big trees on the banks of the embankment were yelling loudly, and the piercing sound made passers-by drowsy.

Xuanyuan Hao carried the darts engraved with "Hong" in his pocket, and rode his horse on the steaming stone road, looking left and right. He received a secret report that Lin Lin might have arrived at this small county town far away from Luoyang City. , he immediately rode his horse and came here, but after a few days and nights of bumps and exhaustion, he didn't know how many good horses died to get here, but there was no news at all. Could it be that he was going to return disappointed like the previous few times? ?The time agreed with Yao Qihua was getting closer and closer, but he hadn't even seen Lin Lin's shadow yet, so how could he be willing to go back like this.

Suddenly, Xuanyuan Hao drove to the increasingly dilapidated Gu Lian county government office. Suddenly, he saw several arresters rushing out, followed by an old man and a young woman. The woman covered her face and was crying. There were a few scars from being whipped, and so was the old man. Apart from the bruises on his face, there were also bruises from the beating.

The old man and the good-looking woman did not follow the arresters far away, but came to a teahouse not far from the county government office in dejection, found a small table and sat down with their hands on the dust. The old man yelled at the teahouse owner something completely inconsistent with his simple and honest image, as if he was very familiar with it: "It's so fucking hot, the head of the Yang family, quickly serve us a pot of herbal tea!"

Hearing the sound, Xuanyuan Hao took one more look at the old man, and wanted to turn his horse's head to leave, but the sudden voice of conversation behind him forced him to stop——

"Old Tiger, you really don't want to die, you really dare to report to the officials... Don't you know that the new group of robbers dare not even be controlled by the government? What's the use of reporting to the officials? , the old man of the county government will only send a few arresters to make a show, and it’s fine if you can’t get it right, if you are really targeted by those unreasonable robbers in the future, you will be in constant trouble!"

A fat uncle in his thirties who was wearing a single roving jacket was kindly nagging while helping them serve tea. His brows were frowned tightly due to the pain, "I can't just watch my daughter being bullied, even if the dog officer raised by XX is just dealing with us, it's better than doing nothing."

"Hey - if you want to blame it, blame us for being too far away from Luoyang City. People say that the sky is high and the emperor is far away, and the county magistrates of the ninth rank have become emperors -" The big man flicked the rag that wiped the table on the fat Liu Liu left with a feeling on his shoulders. As a poor commoner, he was satisfied with what his family had to wear and eat. If the rest of the dog official wants to be greedy, let him be greedy, but if the family can’t eat enough to wear If it's not warm, he thinks he will also fight those government offices that only oppress the common people.

"Father, let's go, let's go to another place, to a place where there are no such terrible local thieves... My daughter can play the pipa and sing, we won't be hungry!"

"Okay, okay, Yan'er, let's go home and pack our bags and go out to make a living..." Seeing his daughter crying even more sadly, the old man changed his rude appearance just now and comforted him kindly, Hey~~ I only blame myself for not being able to protect myself, the only precious daughter who lost her family since childhood, I am so fucking useless!

Just when the two of them were about to stand up and say goodbye to Boss Yang, a handsome young man who was not gorgeously dressed but had an extravagant demeanor walked over to them, but the expression of that young man was so ghastly that they were shocked. The body that stood up couldn't help but sat back down again.

"Young master, me, do we know each other?" In most of my life, I have never met such an imposing man. Even the county magistrate can only be described as wretched compared to this person.

Xuanyuan Hao didn't answer his father, but just took out a gold ingot from the cloud-patterned sleeve and put it on the table: "You only need to answer my question, this gold is yours."

The old man was also an ordinary and upright citizen, he didn't pick up the gold ingot and bite it with his teeth to distinguish the authenticity, but straightened his back, and said with some disdain: "An answer is worth my daughter's singing." You may not be able to save gold ingots for a year of drama, isn't this young master too generous?"

Xuanyuan Hao knew that this old man might regard him as a family member of those corrupt officials or a prodigal son, but he didn't want to explain too much, he just wanted to know what he wanted to know: "Whether it's worth it, only me I can tell, why didn't daddy first ask me what I wanted to ask?"

"Then what does this young master want to know? I, a commoner, don't think what I know is worth the price."

"Have any outsiders come here in the past few days?"

"Yes, a group of robbers."

"anything else?"

"There are more?... It seems that there are no more." He is an old man who sings with his daughter in the teahouse every day. How could he notice if there are any new faces here? If those local thieves were not too rampant, he would not know him them.

"Then have you ever seen the little boy in the painting?"

A scroll unfolded, causing the old man to gasp. Is there such an elegant and free-spirited person in this world?Seeing her father's reaction, the woman beside her also poked her head to look at the man in the painting through her swollen peach eyes. It was a handsome young man who made most women envious and jealous. The beauty is different, the person in the painting adds a touch of softness and cleanliness, especially the pair of eyes without impurities, which makes people unconsciously want to fall into such a clean beauty.

Xuanyuan Hao put away the painting expressionlessly, and pressed it carefully in his arms again. Judging from the reactions of the two people, it should be that they have never seen Lin Lin himself. Since they have not, don't waste any more time here.

"Hey—my lord, your gold ingot—" You won't be rewarded for any merit, and he can't accept the gold without answering the lord's question.

Xuanyuan Hao, who had no news of Murong Xilin, had no intention of listening to what the old man had to say, hum, Jin Yuanbao, if Lin Lin could come back to him, he would give a box of gold ingots to the old man——

"Hey—my lord—"

The old man's hesitation stopped annoying Xuanyuan Hao, he turned around and quickly threw another gold ingot to the old man, seeing that the old man caught it clumsily, he couldn't help but sneered and turned to lead the horse.Oh, isn't it just that the money given is too little!

"My lord, you misunderstood me. I just wanted to say, is the person you are looking for the lord over there?" The old man anxiously stepped forward and grabbed Xuanyuan Hao's sleeve, pointing to the noisy place. ——

"Brother Lin, please do me a favor, follow me back, if that hag finds out, I'll have to shed another layer of skin~~~"

"No, little brother, if you don't help me, I'll go by myself—"

"Brother Lin, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that the hag always makes people stare at me, I dare not move~~~"

"Then don't we run out now? Little brother, you know how to lie to me, and Jingran is also—"

"Oh my brother Lin, I really didn't lie to you, you see, we are still quietly following people behind us."

"Really, why didn't I notice—" Murong Xilin suddenly turned around to check, but there was only an empty street, not even a single person. "Nobody~~Little brother, you—ah——"

"Lin Lin——" Seeing the vivid person in front of him appear intact in front of him, Xuanyuan Hao felt his heart, which had been dead for almost a month, start beating alive, jumping higher and faster, and it was beautiful The corners of her mouth also curved into a charming arc with the powerful beating of her heart.

"Huang--Hao!" He knew that the emperor would be sad if he disappeared, he knew that the emperor would come out to look for him if he did not return for a long time, and he knew that the emperor would not take good care of himself if he was not around. In the moonlight, the emperor has become so thin.

Murong Xilin walked towards Xuanyuan Hao slowly, with every step he took, the smile on his face became brighter.

"Hao, don't you want to hug me?" Murong Xilin walked up to Xuanyuan Hao who could only smirk, slowly stretched out his slender hands, winked mischievously and said, he wants his hug now, needs his warm embrace.

Xuanyuan Hao excitedly hugged Murong Xilin by the waist, and spun around several times in uncontrollable excitement, until the person in his arms laughed and fainted and was reluctant to let him go.

"Lin Lin, I miss you so much." Facing Murong Xilin's crescent-like eyes, Xuanyuan Hao whispered tenderly in his ear.

"Hao, Lin Lin looks like you too." He stretched out his jade arms to hook Xuanyuan Hao's neck, and placed a deep kiss on his nostalgic lips.

"Hee hee, ~~ I haven't seen you for a month, Hao has become more shy than Lin Lin~~"

"Naughty~~"
