Linluo sunset

After Zhou Mu lay sick on the bed for a few days, he finally regained some energy. On this day, when he was dragging his cheeks and complaining to himself, secretly vowing that he would never eat beef pie again in his life, he came in from outside the door. A young man looked at Zhou Mu and shook his head with a smile.

"Smile!" Zhou Mubai glanced at him, "Who are you?"

The man frowned slightly: "Xingmu Zhou's family can be considered a wealthy family, why are you so vulgar?"

"I was arrested here by people from your palace for no reason. First, I was locked up and not allowed to go out. After finally going out, I came back with a whole body of illness. Why not scold someone?" Zhou Mu gritted his teeth.

The man sighed: "Si Ting came here to ask me for Xueyaohua for you, why don't you appreciate it at all, this is the first time he asked me for something on his own initiative in all these years."

"Young Master was harmed by him, of course he wants to..." Zhou Mu said halfway, before he came to his senses: "...Zhen?"

"The word "Zhen" can't be said indiscriminately." Hua Qianlang looked at Zhou Mu amusedly, just curious about what kind of person Xu Siting could be so caring about, so he stopped by to take a look after getting off the court, and he really had pretty eyebrows and eyes , It's just that the young master of the Zhou family has always been said to be a little bully full of bad things, so why does he look a little silly now.

"Your Majesty?" Xu Siting came into the room with his hand in his hand and saw Hua Qianlang looking at Zhou Mu. He was startled, and hurriedly saluted. Then he saw Zhou Mu still sitting on the bed with his mouth open while holding the quilt. Anxiously: "Your Majesty, Xiao Mu doesn't understand the rules and is sick..."

"Young Master Zhou has done something for Qianlang this time, and he contracted the disease because he took care of the refugees. I won't care about his rudeness." Hua Qianlang waved his hand: "It's okay."

Xu Siting heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, but just as he was about to thank you, Hua Qianlang said in a solemn tone, "But as the chief of the imperial army, shouldn't you be patrolling the palace now?"

Xu Siting was at a loss for words, Zhou Mu had been eating very little in the past few days, and his face was getting uglier day by day, so he would spare some time to come back and watch him eat obediently every day when he was eating. He didn't expect to meet Hua Qianlang this time, so He lowered his head and said, "It's the subordinate's dereliction of duty."

"As the commander-in-chief, he neglected his duties, and was punished twenty times according to military regulations." Hua Qianlang waved his hand: "Go down and get the board."

"Yes!" Xu Siting led the order and went out, Hua Qianlang glanced at Zhou Mu, and found that he had a face of gloating.

"He was punished for you." Hua Qianlang reminded.

Zhou Mu hugged the quilt and blinked: "The true spirit of the Buddha."

"Ah?" Hua Qianlang frowned: "What did you say?"

"When I went to the ruined temple a few days ago, I saw a Bodhisattva there, so I prayed a few words in my heart." Zhou Mu laughed: "I didn't expect it to come true so soon, and he will be bullied one day. Hehe, thank you, Your Majesty."

Hua Qianlang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she shook her hands and walked out, snatching Xu Siting from the guard who was about to execute him.

"Your majesty?" The second monk Xu Siting was confused: "Don't hit me anymore?"

Hua Qianlang gave him a sympathetic look: "I wanted to make him feel sorry for you, but it turned out to be a waste of time. Go to the Imperial Medical Hall and get Xue Yaohua for him."

Xu Siting was puzzled: "Why do you want him to feel sorry for me?"

Hua Qianlang looked at the sky, and the two of them were more stunned than the other.

After Zhou Mu drank the decoction decocted by Xueyaohua, he soon recovered. Immediately after healed, he felt his stomach growling, so he asked Xu Siting to order a large table of dishes, and he was very happy.

"Slow down." Xu Siting reached out to wipe off the scallion on his face: "No one will snatch it from you."

"Stay away from me!" Zhou Mu ran to the other side of the table with his job bowl in his hand and stared at Xu Siting: "Once I meet you, nothing good will happen! I'll go home tomorrow!"

"You hate me so much?" Xu Siting frowned: "Am I so bad?"

Zhou Mu slurped his soup: "You're not bad, you're handsome, good at martial arts, and have a future, but none of this prevents me from hating you!"

Xu Siting was silent, looking at Zhou Mu's heartless look, he felt a little blocked.

After eating, Zhou Mu ran out to go shopping in high spirits, thinking to buy some rare things to take back to the housekeeper's maid. While walking around, he met Xu Siting who was holding a sword and leading people to patrol the streets, so he was kidnapped again.

"I can really be alone..." Zhou Mu wanted to cry.

Xu Siting pretended not to hear, and stayed with him for another afternoon, and he didn't know when we would meet again.

In the distance, the guard patted his head: "My lord has to come here today to inspect outside the palace, is it just to 'encounter' this young master?"

Guard B came to a sudden: "No wonder, I also said, it's not good to stay in the palace in such a big sun, so I have to run out to bask."

Guard C was excited: "So many girls have been rejected by adults, so it turns out that adults like this tune!"

The guard Ding who just ran over was annoyed: "Oh, why don't you hold them back for a while, what do they look like?"

……

Zhou Mu was dissatisfied and cursed in his heart for a while, and felt that Xu Siting was so abnormal today, and he didn't say a word for such a long time, so he got a little nervous, and stretched out his hand to push him: "Why don't you make fun of me today?"

Xu Siting smiled wryly: "The teahouse of your Zhou family is in front, how about treating me to a cup of tea?"

Zhou Mu sniffled and nodded reluctantly.

The owner of the restaurant was originally Zhou Dajin, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion. When he saw Zhou Mu at this moment, his eyes widened: "Master, why are you here?"

"Uncle Zhou." Zhou Mule hugged Zhou Dajin tremblingly: "I'm here to play."

"The eldest young master came here a few days ago." Zhou Dajin gave Zhou Mu a seat and poured tea: "After looking at the accounts, I went to the south again."

"I haven't seen my brother for a long time." Zhou Mu said flatly, "I don't know if he will come home for the Chinese New Year this year."

"Ahem..." Xu Siting coughed helplessly as he was left alone.

"Master Xu." Zhou Dajin saw Xu Siting in casual clothes at this moment, and hurriedly opened the bench for him.

After ordering a good Yuqian Longjing and some snacks, the two sat in front of the window absent-mindedly watching the scenery.

"Siting?" A person came up from the stairs, and after seeing Xu Siting, he looked surprised: "How can you be in the mood to come here for tea?"

Because his brain is flooded!Zhou Mu muttered in his heart.

Xu Siting was also very dissatisfied with the disturbance from the visitor, so he raised his eyelids and did not speak.

The person who came was from a wealthy family in Shengjing, named Zhao Yan, and he had some friendship with Lin Haofeng and Xu Siting on weekdays, so he didn't care about Xu Siting's indifference, and sat on the side by himself, and said in a low voice: "You Come here, do you also think there is something wrong with this teahouse?"

"What?" Zhou Mu's eyes widened.

Zhao Yan glanced at Zhou Mu and was amused: "You're not from Shengjing City, are you? I haven't seen you before."

"Master asked you something!" Zhou Mu frowned, "What's wrong with this teahouse?"

"The master behind this teahouse has something to do with Wuhuan Palace." Zhao Yan whispered.

"Shit!" Zhou Mu slapped the table and roared angrily.

Zhao Yan's ears were buzzing: "What are you doing so loudly!!"

"That's enough, that's enough!" Xu Siting pulled the two of them away, turned to Zhao Yan and asked, "Where did you hear the gossip?"

"In the past few days, there have been rumors in the city that although Chu Wuxin is dead, there is still a younger brother staying in the south of the Yangtze River. His name is Chu Wutian. He has a map of the dragon's veins in his hand. Didn't the young master of the Zhou family go to the south of the Yangtze River? , I heard it was to meet with Chu Wutian." Zhao Yan continued: "It is said that the ancestors of the Zhou family are the guardians of the dragon clan, and only the brothers of the Zhou family can enter the dragon vein."

"Which grandson made the rumor, I will castrate him!" Zhou Mu almost fainted in anger, rolled up his sleeves and rushed out.

"Xiao Mu!" Xu Siting stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Mu: "Don't get excited, go back to the palace with me and report to Emperor Ming, I will send someone to investigate."

Zhou Mu frowned, and turned to look at Xu Siting: "You don't believe that I am a dragon guardian, do you?"

Xu Siting smiled and shook his head.

"You?" Zhao Yan opened his eyes wide.

Zhou Mu glared at him, and walked out angrily: "I'll go back to the palace first, I won't leave! I'll wait until I find out!"

Xu Siting wanted to follow, but Zhao Yan grabbed him: "Is he from the Zhou family?"

"He is Zhou Mu, the second young master of the Zhou family." Xu Siting gave Zhao Yan a disgusted look: "A big man who goesssips everywhere is not afraid of getting hemorrhoids!"

Zhao Yan was furious: "Isn't it right to report the news to the government?" After speaking, he leaned on the window with great interest and looked out: "One of the six sons, I didn't bother to take a closer look just now."

"What sixth son?" Xu Siting asked doubtfully.

"The sixth son of Qianlang Kingdom." Zhao Yan sighed: "You don't even know this? Lin Haoyang, the God of War in Qianlang, Chen Ziyue, the owner of Yuncha Castle, Leng Xizhao, the little genius doctor of Kuaishou, and the second young master of the Zhou family in Xingmu City. Mu, Mu Liran, the young owner of Qingyun Bank, and Shen Mofeng, the deputy owner of Hanshui City."

"How did this come out??" It was the first time Xu Siting heard that there was such a thing.

"Lin Haoyang is as gentle and moist as jade, Chen Ziyue is bright and smart, the cold sunset is elegant and elegant, Zhou Mu is unparalleled in handsomeness, woody and graceful, Shen Mofeng is suave, coupled with family background, literary talents, and martial arts accomplishments, this Qianlang is not only a woman, Even if it is a man, there are not a few who fall in love with it." Zhao Yan smirked: "If you like it, you should start early!"

Xu Siting rolled his eyes at him, and walked back with his hands behind his back, thinking to himself, the little liar is so famous.

After Zhou Mu returned to the palace, he was worried. His elder brother had been staying in Xingmu City for so many years and refused to have any relationship with any martial arts gang. He thought that the two brothers could live their lives in such a peaceful way. Why would there still be rumors? Why are there so many unpredictable people.

As soon as Xu Siting stepped into the door, he saw Zhou Mu laying on the bed with his pillows in his arms, his face full of concern. The bed was huge, and his body was getting smaller and smaller. hug him.

"Do you really believe me?" Seeing Xu Siting standing at the door, Zhou Mu turned his head and asked him with an extremely serious expression: "My brother never thought of getting involved in disputes between the rivers and lakes and the emperor's grievances. An An lived a healthy life."

"I believe." Xu Siting sat next to him: "I don't know your brother, but since he is Brother Lin's friend, he can't be a bad person. As for you, you are not a bad person. I have heard the rumors about the dragon vein guardian Are some...are they really the Zhou family?"

Zhou Mu smiled, turned over on the bed with his pillow in his arms, and swayed with his legs crossed: "When I was young, I heard people say that my brother and I were the guardians of the dragon clan, but in the end, we went around talking about it for a while, and my brother locked him up after he found out. I couldn't get out of bed for half a month because of the door slamming. My father, my mother, my uncle and aunt have been hunted down and lured for most of my life because of these rumors. My parents had no choice but to take me and my brother to Xingmu City. With the protection of the old castle owner of Yuncha Castle in Northwest China at that time, we lived a peaceful life. Before my parents died, my parents reminded me and my brother to forget about the Dragon Clan. Unfortunately, even if my brother and I tried hard to forget, we always Someone tried to force us to remember."

Seeing Zhou Mu's flushed eyes, Xu Siting felt a little pain in his heart, and stretched out his hand to rub his head: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

"Who wants your protection." Zhou Mubai glanced at him: "If you don't bully me, I already want to burn incense and worship Buddha."

"Then don't go, anyway, you will be alone when you go back, why don't you stay in the palace, I will tell the emperor, he will definitely give you and your brother a happy life." Xu Siting whispered: "I won't tease you anymore Are you ready?"

Zhou Mu raised his eyebrows: "Then you have to listen to me!"

Xu Siting nodded: "Okay."

"Really?" Zhou Mu became interested, and sat up hugging the quilt: "Then you will be my horse!"

Xu Siting's face darkened.

"Forget it." Zhou Mu tactfully lay flat on the bed, "I was joking."

Xu Siting's eyes slid to his delicate chin, and his mouth suddenly became dry.

"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Mu rubbed his knee against him: "Why is your face so red?"

"I'm going to tell the emperor what happened today." Xu Siting ran away, damn it, how could there be any reaction there, this little liar is too seductive!

After going out and blowing a gust of wind in the imperial garden, Xu Siting finally calmed down a bit, turned around and went to the imperial study to report to Hua Qianlang what he heard in the teahouse today.

"Dragon veins again?" Hua Qianlang frowned: "Why are there so many rumors about dragon veins recently?"

"I asked Xiaomu, and his parents did tell about the Dragon Vein Guardian." Xu Siting continued: "But even if it is, Xiaomu and his brother have no intention of doing this, they just want to live a peaceful life."

"Do you believe him?" Hua Qianlang raised an eyebrow.

"Letter." Xu Siting didn't hesitate.

"Then I will send you to Jiangnan to investigate this matter." Hua Qianlang smiled: "Take Zhou Mu together, and let me find out the whole story of this matter!"

"Yes." Xu Siting received the order, then raised his head and said, "Does the Emperor believe in Xiaomu?"

"I don't know him well, so why believe it or not." Hua Qianlang patted Xu Siting: "But I believe you."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xu Siting felt warm in his heart.

"However, that Zhou Mu doesn't seem to be interested in you." Hua Qianlang leaned in front of Xu Siting: "I will give you a chance to go to the south of the Yangtze River alone with him, you should seize the opportunity."

"The emperor was joking." Xu Siting blushed.

Hua Qianlang shook his head with a smile, and took out a few letters from a stack of papers on the table: "These are rumors about Longmai and news about Chu Wutian sent by spies from all over the place, take a look, it's not appropriate Chi, you will set off with Zhou Mu tomorrow."

"Yes." Xu Siting led the order to retreat, inexplicably in a good mood.

After hearing Hua Qianlang's will, Zhou Mu didn't object, but made a condition to Xu Siting: "Don't force me to beat your back along the way! Don't let me just drink water and eat steamed buns! Don't let me ride a horse!" On the way from Xichuan to Shengjing, he was bullied by Xu Siting enough, Zhou Mu left a psychological shadow.

Xu Siting did not refuse anyone who came, and nodded in agreement.

Early the next morning, the two of them left the palace through the side door, and rode their horses in low clothes all the way to Chiba City in the south of the Yangtze River.
