Linluo sunset

Star Curtain City is an important town on the northwest frontier, if you leave the city gate, you will be out of the border of Qianlang Kingdom. Outside the pass is the boundless Gobi. When you look up, you can see the sky full of yellow sand and straight Populus euphratica forest. You can faintly hear The jingle of the camel bells is probably because of this. Every year, a large number of literati and officials come here from thousands of miles away, just to see the bloody sunset on the vast desert, hoping to write some magnificent sentences. Local officials Seeing this situation, he simply held a poetry competition every year, so as to add to his political achievements. Naturally, the desolate land in the northwest cannot compare with the affluence and leisure in the south of the Yangtze River, but with its unique vast sand sea and vast momentum, the annual competition The scale of the poetry club is also getting bigger and bigger.

At this time, by the window of the largest restaurant in the city, a man in black was drinking alone. Northwest knives are notoriously strong, but this man seemed to be drinking water one after another, without showing any signs of drunkenness. After finishing the drink, he shook his head helplessly, then turned to ask Xiao Er: "Do you have any undiluted wine here? I'll pay double the price."

Xiaoer smiled awkwardly, and hurried back to get the wine-----Although the person in front of him was smiling when he spoke, it made people feel afraid to look him in the eyes for no reason.

After the new wine was served, the man in black opened the mouth of the jar and sniffed it, then tossed a piece of silver to Xiaoer with satisfaction: "Go down."

Xiao Er's eyes widened: "Guest officer, this is too much."

The man in black frowned in dissatisfaction: "Just take it if I give it to you, where is there so much nonsense?"

"Yes yes yes..." Xiaoer just wanted to leave knowingly, but was stopped by the man in black: "Come back."

"Uh... what else do you want from the guest officer?" Xiaoer smiled, thinking that he should not regret it and want to get the money back.

"What's going on down there?" The man in black looked out the window, and saw a group of ragged people being driven forward by officers and soldiers with whips.

"Oh, these people are official slaves who have been exiled." Xiaoer explained: "The Saishi Terrace is being built in the east of the city. It seems that there is not enough manpower, so I transferred some slaves from other places to catch up with the work. The Saishi will be a big deal. , there must be no delay."

The man in black frowned. The group of people looked like they couldn't even walk steadily, and they were whipped around. Even if they were slaves, they couldn't be abused like this, right?There was also a white-haired old man in the crowd, who staggered and fell to the ground after taking two steps. The officers and soldiers escorting him kicked him twice. Seeing that he couldn't get up, he thought it was a deliberate disturbance, so he waved The whip started to whip, and the man in black frowned. Just as he was about to fly down, he saw a young man rushing out from the crowd of slaves, pushed the officer and soldier away, and stretched out his hand to help the old man up.

"Hey, don't you die?" Xiaoer opened his eyes wide and said, "It's over." Before he finished speaking, he saw the officer and soldier who was pushed down get up, rushed up and took a whip to cover his head and face, and slapped him After getting down, the pedestrians tried to persuade them boldly, but they were all scolded by other officers and soldiers to go back.

"Bastard!" The man in black couldn't see it, took the sword on the table and jumped down the restaurant, shaking the officer and soldier away with one palm.

The surrounding crowd originally dared not speak out in their hearts, but seeing this scene, they couldn't help clapping their hands and applauding. They saw that the man was extremely tall, and although the black clothes on his body were not complicated in style, they were also unmistakable at a glance. It can be seen that the workmanship is extremely fine, the facial features are not rough, and even look a little delicate in detail, but the eyes are sharp like the bravest eagle on the grassland, which makes people fearful. In his hand is a blue saber. Looks like it's been around for ages.

"Who are you, you dare to hit me, grandpa?" The seven or eight officers and soldiers became furious, and surrounded the man in black one after another.

The man in black sneered, ignored them, squatted down and tried to help the young slave whose face was covered in blood, but found that he had been beaten unconscious, so he stretched out his arms to hug him, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Official slaves, do you dare to hijack? Brothers, go!" Seven or eight officers and soldiers drew their swords and swarmed up, but they were beaten to pieces by the men in black in less than ten blows. The team yamen servant heard the movement here and rushed over to take a look. His brother was beaten with a bruised nose and a swollen face. He just thought that some rioters came to intercept the prisoner once and took the shackles to handcuff him.

The man in black didn't bother to fight with these wine bags and rice bags anymore, so he fumbled for the waist card and threw it over. The quick-handed yamen servant took a closer look, and saw a nine-clawed golden dragon engraved in the center of the golden waist card, with a small Small "peak" character.The yamen servant has never seen the world again, and knows that this waist card is for the royal family. Although he doesn't know who the word "Feng" represents, it must be someone he can't afford to offend. Thinking of this, he hurriedly put his hands on his waist with a smile. The card was returned: "Forgive me, my lord, I offended you because I don't know Taishan with my eyes."

The man in black snorted coldly, pointed at the bunch of slaves and said, "Take them back to your county government office first so that they can eat their stomachs, and then find a doctor for the old man, and I'll see you adults later. If there is anything wrong with them, Come and see you!"

"Yes, yes, I know." The yamen servant nodded hurriedly, for fear of offending the god in front of him again.

After dismissing the group of yamen servants, he looked down at the young slave who was so angry, the man in black frowned and asked the people around him: "Where is the medical center?"

"My family has it!" A young man came out of the crowd with a smile: "Brother Lin really has a chivalrous heart."

Lin Haofeng looked at the young man with a hippie smile in front of him and felt a little powerless: "I'm not joking with you, this person is dying soon."

The young man dragged Lin Haofeng back and said, "I'm not joking with you, I really have a doctor in my family."

The onlookers whispered: "It's a friend of the second son of the Zhou family, no wonder."

The gang of yamen servants hadn't gone far, and when they heard the words, they immediately turned bitter. Everyone knew that the water in the Zhou mansion was not even a little bit deep, not to mention that the man in black who appeared out of thin air was still a member of the royal family. This time, he caused big trouble...

Lin Haofeng followed the second young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Mu, all the way back to the mansion, asked the doctor to look at the slave's wounds, and sat in the front hall to drink tea slowly.

"Brother Lin." Zhou Mu approached with a grin: "Don't worry, Lao Yang has a way of treating bruises to keep him safe. Lao Yang, who my brother beat me to death when I was young, can save me. "

"I'm not worried about him." Lin Haofeng glanced at him: "I was thinking that it would not be easy for my younger brother to work for the emperor. Why are there so many bullying officials in this world?"

Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows: "The situation in the world is good enough now, the world is so big, how can everything go as you want, please be content with yourself, besides, you have done something for the emperor and Hao Yang by being a hero all these years .”

While the two were talking, the doctor came out from the inner room.

"Uncle Yang." Zhou Mu stood up to meet him: "How is he?"

The doctor nodded: "Don't worry, young master, he has nothing serious, but he is too tired from long-term work, and he has not been eating well, and he was beaten again today. He fainted because he couldn't bear it, but he is in good health. You can wake up in two or three hours."

"It's fine." Lin Haofeng also admired his self-sacrifice to save others just now, and now he was relieved to hear that he was fine, opened the door and entered the room, went to the bedside to look, and was stunned: "Why is it him? "

"Who is it?" Zhou Mu leaned forward and took a look. After the blood on the man's face was washed off, his face looked pretty good. He was as white and clean as a person from Jiangnan, but his nose was quite high, and he looked a bit alien. .

"It's Yeluqing." Lin Haofeng frowned.

"Ah?" Zhou Mu stared: "He is the Yeluqing who attempted to rebel a year ago, but was defeated by the emperor himself? The Mobei wolf who ruled the Northwest back then? Be good, the rebellion really didn't end well!"

"So now you know it's right for your brother to remain neutral." Lin Haofeng looked at him amusedly, and looked back at Yeluqing who was lying on the bed, and was a little embarrassed: "What should we do now?"

Zhou Mu giggled: "You want to save him? He's a traitor!"

Lin Haofeng rolled his eyes at him: "If you're like this, you're still a traitor. Go out and don't disturb him."

Zhou Mu patted his buttocks and walked out, angrily in his heart, this is my home! ==

Lin Haofeng sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Yeluqing, and he didn't dislike him very much. If he hadn't been merciful before, Haoyang would have died a long time ago. In addition, he was also considered a hero back then, and it would take about a year for him to rebel against him. On the one hand, it was because he was infected by his foolish father's ambition, and on the other hand, it was probably because he really loved Hao Yang so badly that he disliked Hua Qianlang desperately.Seeing today that he would rather be beaten than save others, he shouldn’t be bad in nature, just now the doctor had asked someone to wipe his clean body and put on his clothes, his thin chest was faintly exposed in the open collar, Lin Haofeng frowned and stretched out his hand to open it. Looking at the hem of his clothes, he saw that his body was covered with bruises, which were caused by the whip and the iron. It could be seen that he had suffered a lot in the past year.

Two hours later, Yeluqing moved slightly on the bed and woke up. He opened his eyes and looked at the top of the bed above him. He felt the softness of the cotton wool under his body. It felt like a dream. lying on a bed.

"Are you awake?" Lin Haofeng approached him and asked.

Yeluqing was stunned for a moment, the face of the person in front of him was too similar to the person deep in his memory, but the feeling was completely different.

"My name is Lin Haofeng." Seeing his bewildered face, Lin Haofeng simply answered by himself: "I am Haoyang's elder brother."

Yeluqing frowned, and his voice was a little weak: "He asked you to save me?"

Lin Haofeng looked at him weakly: "It's a good idea. I just happened to pass by and saw that you were so righteous in saving people, so I brought you back by mistake."

Yeluqing smiled miserably: "Thank you very much. If there is nothing else, I will go back."

"Go back?" Seeing that he was struggling to sit up, Lin Haofeng stepped forward and pushed back on the bed: "Lie down well, the big man can't even walk steadily, what are you trying to do, you, don't go back!"

"I committed the crime of treason, how dare you save me?" Yeluqing's voice was hoarse and scary.

Lin Haofeng poured him a glass of water, and said in his heart that you still want to plot rebellion just like you are now?Seeing that he was eager to drink water, Lin Haofeng frowned and poured him another glass: "Slow down, what's the hurry."

Yeluqing felt a little dizzy after drinking the water. At this time, a servant brought up the cooked chicken porridge. The light yellow chicken soup was full of fragrance, and the white rice was cooked just right. People salivate.

"Eat, the doctor said you're fine, you're just too hungry." Lin Haofeng helped him up and leaned against the head of the bed, took the porridge bowl and handed it to him: "Here."

Yeluqing hesitated for a moment, but still reached out to take the bowl, took the spoon to put the porridge in his right hand and wanted to put it in his mouth, but couldn't hold it steadily.

"What's wrong with your arm?" Lin Haofeng saw something was wrong, stretched out his hand and squeezed his shoulder: "What's the matter?"

Yeluqing threw the spoon back into the bowl with an indifferent expression on his face: "Hua Qianlang pinched it to pieces."

Lin Haofeng saw a trace of pain flashing in his eyes, and suddenly felt that he was quite pitiful. It was hard for him to persist in surviving in such a situation as the Mobei wolf, who was feared in the northwest desert.

"What are you doing?" Yeluqing stared at Lin Haofeng.

"Hey, eat! Hurry up! I still have something to do!" Lin Haofeng stared back, and moved the spoon to his mouth: "Hurry up and open your mouth!"

Yeluqing rolled his eyes, how could Lin Haoyang, such a gentle and modest gentleman, have such a bandit elder brother?

After feeding him a bowl of porridge, Lin Haofeng left his job and went out: "You go on sleeping, I'm going out to do something."

"Hello!" Yeluqing called Lin Haofeng to stop.

Lin Haofeng turned his head in doubt: "Aren't you full?"

Yeluqing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "You... save people to the end, save everyone else. Most of them were framed and implicated. Except for me, they are all good people."

Lin Haofeng was amused, did he read it right? Whoever said this person is bloodthirsty, he is not a kind person, so he nodded: "Okay, you should have a good rest."
