Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Jing Hongzhui not only rebuilt a strong big bed, but also added a terrace on the roof, where you can lie down and watch the Milky Way at night.

There was an obvious coolness in the wind, Su Yan lay in the arms of his bodyguard, put a frosty white cloak on his belly, looked up at the bright full moon floating in Dongshan, and said softly: "The moon is so big and round, isn't it? Is it Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Jing Hong replied: "Today is the fourteenth day of the eighth lunar month, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

Su Yan let out an "oh", closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Jing Hongzhui vaguely sensed that he was a little lonely.It is true that the days without years in the mountains are leisurely, and being with a lover day and night is also a sweet treat, but Mr. Su is still so young after all, and the spirit in his chest has been quiet for a long time, and he will think about it in silence.

"...There is Lanyi Town more than a hundred miles away from here. From today until August [-]th, there will be a Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival for three consecutive nights. It is said that there will be activities such as playing with the moon and lighting lanterns, and the most beautiful one will be contested in advance. Boy, dress up as a Bodhisattva at the Lantern Festival. How about I take adults to watch the excitement?"

Jing Hongzhui would go to Lanyi Town at the beginning of every month to buy necessities such as rice noodles, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, etc. More than ten days ago, people in the town were busy preparing for the Lantern Festival.If he didn't see Su Yan bored, he didn't intend to say it.

"The Lantern Festival in the small town is far worse than the Aoshan Lantern Festival in the capital's Lantern Festival." Su Yan said with disgust, but was actually a little tempted. He opened his eyes and sat up, "However, it's not bad to buy some mooncakes and seasonal fresh fruits. Why? To go, on horseback or by car?"

Jing Hongzhui put on the cloak for him, and said: "I don't ride horses at night. I will use lightness kung fu to take the adults there, and it will be there in a stick of incense."

Compared with riding a horse, Su Yan prefers the bullet train of Ah Zhui, which is stable and fast. Sure enough, he left the mountains and fields after more than half an hour, and saw the lights of the world in the distance.

Lanyi Town is a large town, and the Kelan County Government Office is located on the West Street of the town. At this time, it is also flooded by various colored lights hanging high on the tile eaves and corridor pillars.

On the three days before and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the rich families held Guangxi Pavilion and Dai Dai Banquet, drank wine and sang songs, and played with the moon in the pavilion;The night market in the whole town is well known, and the people drink happily.

Su Yan happily took Jing Hong to the night market and ate sweet-scented osmanthus duck, fried snails and steamed taro according to the custom. He also bought a box of red bean paste mooncakes, a large bag of fresh osmanthus flowers for wine making, and five or six kinds of seasonal melons and fruits. , Even the masks played by the children and the colorful clay sculptures of the rabbit master also brought a few, saying that they would be used as wall decorations.

A procession crossed the street beating gongs and drums, carrying a white lotus pedestal, and in the center of the lotus pedestal stood a statue of a solemn moonlight Bodhisattva.Su Yan wanted to see how much the Bodhisattva played by a real person looked like, so he chased Jing Hong, "There are too many people here, let's find a higher place to watch."

Jing Hong chased him around to look around, and dragged him to the second-floor terrace of a nearby restaurant.

Su Yan was condescending, and saw the young Bodhisattva holding a lotus flower and a moon wheel, with long eyebrows and almond-eyed oval face, looking dignified and holy from the front, but looking from behind, he could find a foot that was sore from standing turned back, wearing green monk shoes He also kicked off, twisting his ankles between the petals of the lotus seat.He thought it was a little funny, so he couldn't help joking: "Bai Yu half opened the face of the Bodhisattva, Wu Ling is impatient with the hozen's feet."

Someone at the wine table next to him burst out laughing and said, "This young man is very talented and humorous."

When Su Yan heard the sound and looked back, he was a middle-aged man dressed as a scribe.Jing Hong caught up with the other party and seemed to want to strike up a conversation, and said to Su Yan in a low voice: "My lord, let's go."

Su Yan didn't want to make trouble, so he bowed his hands to the scribe as a sign of courtesy, turned around and went down the stairs.

The scribe had already got up to invite him, so he had to sit back in embarrassment, poured himself a glass of wine, and held it in his hand without drinking.The companion at the wine table asked: "The master poured the wine and didn't drink it, what was he thinking?"

The scribe pondered: "I was thinking that the young master looked familiar just now, he seemed to have seen it somewhere."

A companion with a knife scar on the bridge of his nose said poorly, "Such a beautiful young master, of course I have seen him in my spring dream."

The people next to him laughed loudly: "The team leader talks dirty again, so he is not afraid of being slapped in the face."

The scribe stood up abruptly, slammed his wine glass on the table, and the wine splashed everywhere.Everyone was startled, but seeing his dignified face showing excitement, they ran downstairs.

"Master!" His companion called from behind him, "What happened, Master Liao!"

Master Liao said without turning his head, "Follow me! That young master is the one in the portrait!"

The "portrait" he refers to is specific, and everyone in the yamen knows it.Scarface's head catcher jumped up immediately, and greeted everyone: "Brothers, there is a bounty on our heads, chase after us!"

A group of plainclothes government servants followed closely behind, chasing out of the restaurant, but seeing the bustling crowd, where was the young man in white?

The scar-faced headhunter said to Mr. Liao: "I'm going to gather people and search the whole town to find him!"

"Wait!" Master Liao said after pondering, "There are too many people. Searching and arresting the whole town may not be able to find them, and it is easy to overwhelm the snake. Let's go back to the yamen and report to the magistrate, and report to the court immediately."

"What if the person just leaves and can't be found anymore?"

"Since he came to the town to enjoy the Mid-Autumn Festival night, his residence should not be far away. There will be two days of lantern festivals tomorrow and the next day, and he might come again. If you see someone again, keep an eye on him, follow him to find his residence, and don't do anything."

The head catcher also knew that the order from above was to "Secretly search, and report immediately once the whereabouts are found", and they did not ask them to arrest anyone.So he nodded and said, "I'm going back to the yamen now."

At this time, Su Yan and Jing Hongzhui were already on the bank of the river at the other end of the town, mingling with young men and women to release water lanterns.

"Ah Zhui chose the red light, what do you want to wish for, marriage?" Su Yan was narrow-minded on purpose.

Jing Hong chased her silently, but her ears were stained with rosy clouds.Su Yan also took a red light, placed it on the water side by side with his, and said with a smile: "Good things come in pairs."

The two squatted on the bank of the river watching the radiant water surface, and they couldn't help but hold each other's hands, fingers intertwined, and silence speaks louder than sound.

After a long time, Su Yan said: "It's late at night, let's go home."

"Okay. Do you still want to come to play tomorrow night?"

"No need, just play with it. Tomorrow night, Mid-Autumn Festival, we will worship the moon at home. You can make a table of mountain delicacies, and you want nine dishes and one soup."

"As many dishes as you want."

"I'm going to make sweet-scented osmanthus wine. I've already bought sweet-scented osmanthus, as well as mountain grapes, wolfberries, rock sugar..."

"Bought them all."

The two leisurely chatted about trivial matters, and their figures disappeared into the bright moonlight.

Shanxi Division, Kelan County.

The red-maned horse rode Juechen, shattering the peaceful morning in Lanyi Town.

On the loess road, a group of galloping Tiqi raised smoke and dust in the sky, chasing after the red-maned horse's buttocks exhaustedly.

The red-maned horse stopped on the street in front of the county government office, and Zhu Helin, who was trailed by a scarlet unicorn, got off his horse and entered the door hurriedly.The county magistrate of Kelan County greeted him with a nod and bowed his head: "Your Majesty is here, but the lower officials are far away from us, please don't be offended..."

Zhu Helin, who wears the title of guard in Jinyi, didn't bother to talk to him, and asked directly: "Who is the insider, call him over!"

The head catcher with a scarred face in the hall quickly stepped forward to salute: "The villain has seen the lord."

"Where are the people?"

"Five days ago, it was at the Mid-Autumn Lantern Festival in Lanyi Town, and it never appeared again after that." Seeing the unsuspecting and intimidating look of the Jinyiwei leader from the capital, the head catcher was beating his heart, and hurriedly continued, "Xiao People couldn't find it in the nearby villages, so they asked many mountain people, and finally found out the whereabouts. According to a hunter, last month, he saw a wooden house surrounded by a fence from a distance by the lake at the foot of Lujingling. The wooden house is built off the ground, which is very strange, but for some reason it cannot be approached."

"Why can't you get close?"

"Orion doesn't know for sure. I guess he encountered a ghost hitting the wall."

What the hell is hitting the wall? I'm afraid it's not because of the influence of the true energy released, and the mind is confused!Zhu Helin guessed that in all likelihood, it was Jing Hong who was chasing after him. That smelly-faced guard was originally a master of martial arts, and his current level is even more unfathomable.

"Draw me a map."

"Yes, yes." Scarface said again and again, "A few days ago, I asked the Orion to draw a topographic map, but it was very scribbled, and the little people couldn't find the wooden house according to the map."

He took out a piece of rough cardboard from his pocket.Zhu Helin took it and browsed it for a while, then turned around and ordered: "Let's go!"

In a blink of an eye, the Tiqis galloped away like wind blowing clouds.

The scar-faced head catcher let out a long breath, and asked the master standing aside: "This is the Jinyiwei? It's too majestic... The leader is not very old, so he is definitely a stump. That imbecile in front of him can't even speak."

"Hard stubble is good. If you can find someone, the reward will be fulfilled." The county magistrate looked at the reward portrait on the table with joy, and hummed out of tune, "I am harsh, good mountains and rivers, where can I attract you?" ~Phoenix~"

On Lujing Ridge, Zhu Helin stands on the hillside and overlooks from a high position, and vaguely sees a corner of blue flashing at the end of the dense forest...it is the surface of the lake under the sun.

He looked down at the topographic map that looked like a ghost drawing, and said, "It should be that lake."

After turning around the headland, the lake is clearly visible.Sure enough, there was a tall wooden house on the grass on the other side of the lake, most of which was blocked by the big tree in front of the house, and the surrounding fence was covered with blue morning glories.

"It's that wooden house!" Wei Liangzi clasped his fists and begged for orders, "I will lead the team there now, and invite Master Su to return to the capital."

Zhu Helin's face was sullen, and he warned himself not to show his emotions or anger, but his heart was beating violently, hitting his chest wall straight.He took a deep breath and held Wei Liangzi's shoulder: "Don't worry. With so many people outflanking him, Jing Hong will definitely be alarmed to chase after him. He has a top-notch lightness skill, and when the time comes, he will slip away with Qinghe in his arms. He will not be able to run on the mountain road and catch up."

"The minister went there alone."

"No, I'll go by myself."

"emperor?"

"I appear alone in the countryside, even if Jing Hongzhui finds out, she will feel puzzled, and maybe she won't run away immediately. It would be even better if Qinghe finds out, he will definitely meet me and ask what happened."

Wei Liangzi was still a little worried, but the emperor insisted on going his own way, so he had to obey.A group of people lay in ambush on the other side of the lake, watching the emperor walk around the wild lake and approach the wooden house.

Last night Su Yan heard the howling of wolves on the back mountain, so he said on a whim: "I didn't know there were wolves in the back mountain until I lived for a few months. Now that the weather is getting colder, if you are not around when the wolves go down the mountain to look for food , will you take me away?"

When Jing Hong chased him, he inevitably became worried, fearing that Master Su would really be attacked by wolves when he went to the town to buy supplies in the future.So early this morning, he went up the mountain to hunt the wolf, and told Su Yan not to go too far away from the wooden house, and he would return after only half a day.

Don't worry, Su Yan said with a smile.There is no one in this remote mountain and wild ridge, and the nearest village is a hundred miles away, and I haven't even seen a wild boar after living in it for several months. If I didn't just hear the howling of wolves, I thought there were no dangerous animals in this area.

After Jing Hong chased him away, he sat on the stone slab in the courtyard, facing the stone table on which the chess board was drawn, and studied life and death problems with the chess record in his arms.

The wind was a bit strong, and the leaves of the big mountain peach trees in the courtyard blew, covering the sound of the wooden fence door being gently pushed open.

"Qinghe..."

"Qinghe!"

Su Yan heard a familiar voice calling him, subconsciously turned his head to look at the courtyard door, and saw the person he thought would never appear here.

The chess pieces on the stone table were knocked off the ground by the sleeve of his robe, Su Yan almost stood up hastily, and blurted out: "Master... Your Majesty."
