Wu Yu

Xie Lingyu didn't put on too much makeup, but just slightly softened the contours of the face, making it indistinguishable from male to female under the moonlight.

He is slightly taller, but his softened facial features are too delicate, making people feel that he is a girl of extremely tall stature.

He was mixed in the crowd, and people passing by couldn't help but look at him more. No one thought that the first person to talk to Xie Lingyu was not a handsome young man or a beautiful lady, but a Mother-in-law with wreath in hands.

The mother-in-law looked at him lovingly, even though the years had left deep wrinkles on her face, she didn't look scary, it just made people feel kind.

"Looking at you, you must be a foreigner. The Isle-seeking Festival is once a year. It was originally a festival to receive blessings. Later, it gradually evolved into today's Marriage Day. Whether it is marriage or blessings, it is a gift from God in the end. good thing."

The mother-in-law's voice was old, but she patiently explained to him.He didn't act strange because he was indistinguishable between male and female, and he didn't call him hastily. He just smiled and handed him a wreath.

"You take it, I hope the fog whale will bring you good luck."

Xie Lingyu's heart warmed, and he thought of his grandmother. The old man's body was bent, but his eyes were surprisingly bright. He took the wreath, took out a gold leaf, and said softly: "Grandmother, thank you for your wreath. This is my return gift."

The mother-in-law was startled, and quickly waved her hands: "Will you want to..."

Xie Lingyu bent down to give the old man some comfort, and said softly, "Mother-in-law, please accept it, this is my good luck in return."

As he said he stuffed the gold leaf into the old man's hand, Xie Lingyu thanked her mother-in-law with a salute. The old man was still in a daze, but saw the nobleman wave his wide sleeves, and he disappeared into the vast crowd.

------

In the capital city, in the magnificent palace, the guards are patrolling in an orderly manner. The palace is very large, but it is very quiet. No wonder it is difficult to splash water in the deep palace.

He was killed in his own bedroom. Although many women were sent to the harem symbolically, the guard seemed to be deeply rooted in his bones, and he couldn't fall asleep soundly by the pillow of a stranger.

"Your Majesty, the night is cold."

Zhou Xi put on the coat for him, skillfully helped him grind it, and tidied up the scattered memorials.

Chong Lu raised his eyes: "Xie Lingyu should arrive in Zizhou tomorrow."

Zhou Xi only said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the overall situation is still in His Majesty's hands. Even if he has great abilities, nothing will happen."

Chong Lu looked at him, his falcon-like eyes carried a sense of peace at the moment, Zhou Xi was by his side when he succeeded to the throne, usually he was not flattering and noisy, but he took good care of him, standing quietly by his side, But it has a stronger sense of existence than anyone else.

"Zhou Xi, I'm tired."

This is his only close confidant, and it is only in front of Zhou Xi that Zhong Lu occasionally shows an expression that does not fit the status of an emperor, with some fresh emotions.

Zhou Xi stopped his movements, waited patiently for Chong Lu to change his clothes, smoothed his slightly messy hair, made the bed, and took his leave leisurely, guarding the door.

The dim candlelight was imprinted on the window, and the figure at the door could be vaguely seen. Chong Lu's eyes moved slightly, but he waved out the candle without saying anything.

His sight suddenly darkened, and he couldn't see anything.

Where the foggy whale falls, the lights are on.

"Xunyu Festival is so lively, the boss's business is good, right?"

Xie Lingyu found a corner and chatted with a peddler selling masks. If the peddler hadn't heard the magnetic male voice, he wouldn't have believed that the fairy-like beauty in front of him was actually a son.

"There are very few people who come and go, and those who can surprise at a glance are very few. Why don't you buy a mask, my lord. Today is the Islet-seeking Festival, so it's better to cover up your appearance."

Xie Lingyu had this intention, and didn't want to draw too much attention. He caught a glimpse of a whale mask with a gradient from silver to light blue. eyes and surrounding skin.

For some reason, the sleeves of the white shirt with blue patterns flashed through his mind. He bought the mask by accident, and didn't ask for change.

"However, along the way, I heard that many refugees have come to Zizhou City. They say that it is not peaceful recently. It is a pity that they come here because of their reputation. Now..."

Taking advantage of the cheerfulness of the peddler, Xie Lingyu sighed casually, seeming particularly distressed.

The hawker has just been taken care of for his business, now he has something to say: "It's not peaceful, some of these refugees got sick on the way, and they don't know where they died, the children and the elderly are helpless, ah...it's hard to watch. "

As he said that, he lowered his voice: "I heard that these refugees came from remote places, and it is estimated that there are corrupt officials somewhere, and the people who suffered from natural disasters and man-made disasters cannot survive."

The little girl pointed towards the west vaguely, sighed and shook her head, she had more energy than her heart for this matter, she was struggling to maintain her own life, and how could she care about other people's life and death, her heart was filled with resentment over time.

Those who are capable of governing turn a blind eye and watch the people displaced and the imperial city extremely prosperous. After all, this dirty place in the corner cannot enter the eyes of the adults.

Xie Lingyu looked up to the west, only seeing the moving heads, and had a guess in his mind.The refugees probably did not appear suddenly, and the peddler hinted that something happened to the west, which meant that it was no secret.

What a local peddler knew, how could the one in the imperial city not know, but he didn't mention a word, and made his attitude clear, such "innocuous" trivial matters were not worth mentioning in his eyes, or in other words, he was in the middle right now. Surging tactics are the top priority.

Send him over, one is to test, and the other is to let him clean up the mess.

In addition to today's discovery, there is another force pushing in the dark, and everything makes sense.

The heavy killing is too conceited. He planned that when the refugees arrived in Zizhou, many people would die on the way.Those who have diseases will be stopped for examination. Most of these people are overworked and sick, and they will be "brought" to the clinic for diagnosis and treatment for the safety of the people in Zizhou. No one knows the final result. After all, it is still righteous on the surface .

In the end, very few refugees entered the city. At this time, as long as he, who has little experience, "finds out the truth" and uses the name of a natural disaster to suppress the rumors of corruption, wouldn't it be good?

It's a pity that he didn't expect that someone would send the common people into the city all the way, and heal them on the way. In the end, the number of deaths was greatly reduced. Those who were not seriously ill were basically cured, and a large number of refugees entered the city.

This is tantamount to forcing the court to give an explanation. It is impossible for the refugees to gather in Zizhou all the time. They need justice.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyu's eyes flashed with admiration, no matter who is behind the scenes, it is really rare for people to do this for the common people, even if the purpose is to kill people, they have done a great good deed.

"Young master...Young master?"

The peddler recalled Xie Lingyu's drifting thoughts, and the peddler said to him helplessly: "Zizhou is in chaos recently, you can have fun tonight, and the poetry and martial arts competition will start later, you might as well go and see this year's competition." On which two of you will Fuze fall on?"

Xie Lingyu turned his head when he heard the words, and saw the crowd gradually gathered in two places, one was elegantly dressed, the other was recklessly dressed, looking at the ring not far away, he felt a little itchy.

He thanked the boss, quietly put a piece of gold leaf on the mask, turned around and walked towards the outfit.He has practiced martial arts for many years but there is no place to use his skills. This place is not like the capital. There are no eyeliners from various forces, and no one knows him. If he misses this time, he may never have the opportunity to fight in the ring in his life.

The lantern was lit, illuminating the wreaths dotted on the lake. Xie Lingyu put the wreaths on the water, swung his fingers in the water a few times, and swam towards the center of the lake with his wreaths.

There were so many people by the lakeside, Xie Lingyu didn't see him. Not far from him, a man wearing a fox mask with impatience written on his brows casually threw the wreath, and twirled his slender fingers randomly twice to see if it was Pushed towards the center of the lake.

Jin Chan rolled his big eyes, mocking the ancestor's perfunctory good nature and uprightness, and he didn't know who could stand such a bad temper. He saw a familiar figure at the tip of his eyes and widened his eyes.

"Boss, look!"

Qingqiu Jue was pulled a bit, and looked back impatiently, her phoenix eyes swept across a familiar figure, paused, then chuckled: "I thought I was going to look for it, but I didn't expect it to be delivered to my door..."

At this moment, a man in gray robe came over and whispered something in his ear, Qingqiu Jue nodded, and the man handed him a gold leaf respectfully, it was enough for people to see clearly when he raised his head , This is the peddler just now!

Xie Lingyu finished placing the wreaths, then walked towards the ring, the gray-robed man gave him the things and left, Qingqiu Jue put the golden leaves in his arms, and also walked forward, Jin Tang followed closely behind.

They walk in similar steps, but in opposite directions.

In the fueling of the lake, the wreaths that no one cares about carry moist water vapor, and they leave as soon as they are touched.
