Jianghai Wuyue

Chen Lingqing, who had been tossing and turning all night, got up with black eyes. Yuan Qingzhang, who slept with him last night, had disappeared. On the table was a plate of steaming lotus leaf porridge. A few square-cut cucumbers were neatly stacked on the plate, and a few slices of red peppers were sprinkled on top, which looked very appetizing.

Chen Ling's lips were abnormally bright red, and there was a thin layer of wrinkles on the surface of the soft lips, like a patient who had been ill for a long time.

The frenzied and cold eyes of last night have now returned to calm, enveloping a piece of peace and tranquility with blackness and anger, but this kind of peace and tranquility always makes people feel a chill on the spine that something is wrong. , It seems that some undercurrent and ups and downs are brewing.

Chen Ling went to stand in front of the long table, and lightly brushed the right spring flowers blooming on it with his fingers. There was a sudden gap between the beautiful flower branches, which was a flower he accidentally dropped last night. .He saw the flower being held in the palm of the man's hand, and he hid it for some reason.When he was about to leave at the end, the man covered in pitch black looked at him from a distance, his eyes were cool and indifferent.

When "Iron Face" faced him in his previous life, he had never looked at him with such a safe and harmless gaze, as if looking at a stranger who had never met before.It's just that even though there is no intersection between them this time, he has already made up his mind that he will never end with him.

On the edge of the window lattice stained with last night's cold dew, a string of small water droplets gathered, shining under the rising sun with bright rainbow light.Chen Ling half-closed his eyes, glanced indifferently and calmly at the place where "Iron Face" was standing last night, after a while his lips curled up in an arc that seemed to be a smile, and he closed the pane with a "bang".

Hearing the noise, Lin Si opened the door and came in, holding a steaming breakfast, chicken porridge with a strong aroma, and rose and silver rolls freshly made in the inn's kitchen.

Seeing that Chen Ling had already got up, he hurriedly put the things in his hands on the table, poured the hot water that had been boiled early into the copper basin in a hurry, and poured two drops of the chamomile flower dew that he carried with him on the water. inside.Immediately, the scalding heat was stimulated, and the smell of this fragrant dew came out.

While keeping his hands on his hands, Lin Si was also rambling, "Master, you shouldn't have come to this place. You should go straight back to the mountain gate after seeing your wife at home. Look at these days, you have changed What is it like, with such a haggard body, if the suzerain finds out, I don’t know what will happen to us!" Lin Si scalded the handkerchief in boiling water, and then soaked it in the dripping dew Soaked it in the water, and then brought it over for Chen Ling to wipe his face.Holding the clean tea and green salt for gargling in his hands, he waited for Chen Ling to wash up before putting the meal in front of him and seeing that he ate nothing unusual, so he was relieved.

"It's just that I haven't rested during this period of time. I'm so young, and it's the time when I'm light and strong. In just a few days, I can eat and drink again. When I return to the mountain gate, I don't know when it will be, but at that time, master, how can I see how haggard I am now, you just love to worry too much, and you love to worry too much." Chen Ling shook his head helplessly, holding a bowl of porridge in his hand and raised his neck He drank it cleanly in one gulp, "Besides, Master never punishes anyone recklessly. You have been with Master for such a long time, why are you still so full of fear of running the train?"

Seeing Chen Ling's puzzled expression, Lin Si licked her lips twice, but kept the words in her heart.The suzerain has always been so cold and cold, even the head of the sect may not have much weight in the eyes of the suzerain, let alone such insignificant people like them.What's more, all the tenderness of the suzerain is only shown in front of the young master, so you naturally don't know how terrifying the suzerain is.

After Chen Ling had eaten and drank enough, Yuan Qingzhang also came back slowly, dressed in light-colored white clothes, with two flimsy peach blossoms on his shoulders.Seeing Chen Ling's indifferent expression, his expressionless face melted into a gentle smile like a pool of water wrinkled by the spring breeze, "Your spirit seems to be fine, but last night you tossed and turned, I thought you must be fine today. I need to sleep a little longer, so I didn’t call you when I woke up.” He sat down next to Chen Ling, held his face with his fingers and carefully looked at it, and then put a basket on his hand away with confidence. .

"This is something sold by a flower girl I saw on the street. There is nothing in this place now. It took me a lot of effort to hug this basket of flowers. It's useless, but it can make you happy A smile is the blessing of this flower." Yuan Qingzhang sent the basket to Chen Ling, and the simple and simple rattan basket was exquisitely inserted with peach blossoms and edelweiss that had just bloomed, and the fragrance of pink and white was astounding. It is very gratifying.A string of exquisite and small silver bells was tied on the basket, engraved with the pattern of the two immortals.Its thoughts are clearly revealed.

Chen Ling's state of mind that had been spent all night, when he saw this thought, he really became cheerful like a flower blooming and seeing the moon, his eyes curved into a crescent arc, and his wrinkled lips smoothed out with a joyful smile "The flowers are blooming well, but this bell is my favorite." Chen Ling took down the bell strung with a red thread, rubbed his fingertips on the lines of Hehe Erxian, and handed it to Yuan Yuan. Qingzhang, let him hang the bell on the other wrist.

Yuan Qingzhang is naturally happy that his heart can be liked and treated with respect by the person he loves. The two of them tied the bell sweetly for a long time, which made Lin Si feel sour. Unable to bear it, he rolled his eyes and went to find Danyun.

Although Danyun is not likable, it is still more comforting than those two crooked people.

It wasn't until noon that the group planned to leave, and Tong Yue followed the group of people very attentively, with a white and fat face smiling like a steamed bun.

"If you guys think our small shop is quite satisfactory, please come to the shop to rest when you come to Hongzhou next time. The rooms where you live will be cleaned every day, waiting to welcome you. Great drive." The turquoise necklace on Tong Yue's chest, because of the owner's hospitality, seemed to know his heart more and more lustrous.

Early this morning, he received the news that the person who asked him to serve him was actually the gentle and charming young man in front of him. This is really giving him a pillow when he is sleepy. The timing came so ingeniously.The superior also specially ordered that this young master must be served comfortably, but if there is anything needed, no matter how difficult and dangerous it is, he must get it and send it to him.The seal that fell from above was the seal of the most confidential and important phoenix flower in the palace.This is a good opportunity to reach the sky in one step. It will be up to him to see if Tong Yue can leap into the dragon's gate and skyrocket to the sky.

So when he heard that Chen Ling was going to the inner city designated by Wang Shouying, he hurriedly prepared all the things carefully and properly.It is still under the banner of the inn, saying that there are no guests for a long time, and now it is very easy to meet someone who is not afraid of this situation, so naturally he has to firmly catch these big fish.The shopkeeper knew about it, and said that Tong Yue was clever, and he valued it very much.

Chen Ling squeezed the token for entering the city that was delivered to him, chuckled with unknown meaning, didn't say much, accepted it with a smile, and relieved Tong Yue, who was waiting anxiously, and got even more motivated to get busy. For a moment, Lin Si was pushed aside.

Yuan Qingzhang still maintains that heroic and carefree temperament, it is inconvenient to ask these doubts for the time being, so he can only pretend to be in his heart and wait until he goes out.

The road is still as desolate as yesterday, and the few shops I saw by chance are also sparsely populated, and all the things they sell are daily necessities.The people walking on the street were all thin men in ragged clothes, with pain and vicissitudes of life on their brows.

I have seen this kind of scene once yesterday, but when I saw it again, I still felt uncomfortable and painful to tear gently.Wang Qi glanced indifferently at the desolate and poor street with hidden green eyes, seeing Lin Si beside him frowning with unbearable grief and indignation, he sneered disdainfully in his heart.The folks in Hongzhou have a fierce and aggressive style. These poor people who looked simple and pitiful didn't know what they were doing before. They can be regarded as their own fault for falling into this situation.

The desolate road will eventually come to an end, and the streets and rough houses covered with weeds and moss will gradually become more and more exquisite large and neat white stone roads. The intricate patterns are carefully carved, and the corners of the eaves exposed across a city wall are quietly gorgeous and prosperous.There is a thin drumming sound in the wind, and the nose seems to be able to smell the sweet and greasy fragrance of the powder inside.This was the scene of prosperity and prosperity they were used to, but in this place, it felt a little uncomfortable as if it had been a lifetime away.

Behind the half horse is the desolate dilapidation that is about to merge with the sky. In the distant sky, there seems to be a little mess of thatch blown by the wind. The few people are like a deserted city that has not been inhabited for a long time.

But in front of the half-horse is an indescribably romantic scene. Under the high blue sky is an astonishingly tall and towering temple, and a burning orb is embedded on the pointed roof. Even under the brightest sunlight at noon, it exudes an unstoppable precious light.The majestic gate of the inner city is like a dividing line, cruelly dividing the so-called high gate and poor gate.

Next to the gate painted in rich vermilion stood majestic and tall guards. The shiny white armor on their bodies caught the shining sunlight, and the reflected light made Chen Ling's eyes hurt.He swallowed his throat, got off his horse and stepped forward with the token given by Tong Yue.

The token that symbolizes entering and exiting the inner city is made of high-quality huanghuali wood, using round and correct calligraphy in the style of pavilions and pavilions, and a few poplar flowers are carved on the bottom.

The guard turned over the token seriously and looked at it again and again. The four gatekeepers took turns to look at it before letting them go.

The thick vermilion door opened, and before entering, colorful crimson petals floated out, mixed with moist water vapor.The sound of trampling horseshoes led Chen Ling and the others to slowly see the scenery of the inner city.

Looking around, they are all high-rise buildings, with a glazed wind lantern hanging on the corner of each floor. There seems to be red sleeves waving on the high pavilion of Zhangtai, and the delicate swallow language is like the cry of orioles.Just listening to such a voice, I feel that this day is happy and comfortable.

What is eye-catching is the wide and winding bridge deck after entering the city. There are tender-colored water lilies floating on the endless clear water next to it. On the round platform rising from the water, there are precious blood. Peach blossoms, as delicate as a daughter's crimson flowers, are densely packed into a tree.Continuous stretches of cloud-like clusters guard this well-built place where dignitaries gather.

"This place was actually built. It's hard for Wang Shouying to come up with such a tormenting method that bulldozed the entire city and filled the city with water from the Yuquan Spring." Wang Qi sneered. With a sneer, the greenness in his eyes became more and more intense because of the indifferent irony, "It's hard for him, it's really hard for him to come up with such a good blueprint without any knowledge and background."

"You...you know this Wang Shouying?" Lin Si raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully.

Wang Qi glanced at him lightly, "My surname is Wang, and I came from Hongzhou. Wang Shouying is my elder brother, so I naturally know."

Lin Si was stunned when he discovered a new secret. It was only now that he realized that Wang Qi was from the Wang family in Hongzhou. Although he had already guessed that Wang Qi came from Hongzhou, he didn't care much about it. Withered and pitiful, in the mountain gate.If it weren't for Chen Ling's care, I'm afraid he would be worse than an outer disciple.Unexpectedly, he actually came from this Wang family in Hongzhou.

"But... since you are a member of the Wang family, how could you be like that? During the holidays, you have never seen anyone go up the mountain to visit you." Lin Si asked curiously, and there was another sentence he asked Not to mention, when he just entered the mountain gate, he looked so down and out, who would have known that he was from a family.

"Like Wang Shouying, I am a concubine, and I am not treated by my aunt. Besides, I am not as kind and forbearing as Wang Shouying, so naturally I can't get along well." Wang Qi did not shy away from his own background, and even felt that he The blood of the Wang family on his body made him feel that it was a stain that he could not erase.

"Looking at the prosperous appearance of this building, I'm afraid it won't be completed in three to five years as people outside said." Chen Ling looked around, and he could see Sisi in a blink of an eye on a tall building not far away. Golden light, that is the gold thread mixed on the curtain.

Yuan Qingzhang's eyes lit up, looking at this place of singing and dancing, it is the best place for secret growth, "It seems that we have to be more careful. Such a place seems to be peaceful and happy, but it is actually dangerous."
