Jinan Sea

In the morning, the sky was gray.There was a lot of people in Li's house, the guards mounted their horses, the carriage was harnessed in the front yard, and Xiaojing Wang sat on the carriage and sighed.Mingzhu stood at the door waiting for the beautiful guards.

"Do me a favor. Take Little Mirror King to other places to avoid the limelight. There will be some troubles in the two cities and one sea."

"I'm sorry. I caused trouble by swinging a knife at the imperial envoy at the dragon boat race, and I didn't protect the mirror king after the banquet..."

"It has nothing to do with you. The capital is looking for an excuse to annex the two cities, taking advantage of the fact that the imperial envoy and Lord Changle have not conspired to plot against us. You leave Guangji first. The imperial envoy will leave sooner or later."

"What about taxes?"

"Why should I give them my money? No! Unless I die." Little Mirror King suddenly yelled.The horse on the cart moved sideways two steps in fright, and the guards shivered.

"Money is what Zhang Gelao and others have decided on their own, and we have no money to give him."

"However, if you don't have money, you will die. Why don't you borrow some more?" Little Mirror King was still afraid of death.

"I remember that the Tongshan Coin Factory still has a huge amount of deposit silver, and there are many money houses in Tongshan. You just go to hide there for two days, and then borrow some silver to decorate the facade. Haoyue will follow you, safe and secure." Mingzhu With confidence.

But there are ghosts there!

Xiao Jingwang frowned, struggling between dying if he didn't pay the money and going to Tongshan to borrow money.

Isn’t Tongshan the city of gold with two cities and one sea?

Haoyue's heart skipped a beat.Before coming to the South China Sea, I collected a lot of information.Copper Mountain is the treasury of the South Sea.The owner of the money factory is the famous Murong family of Zhejiang merchants.The Zijin copper coins and Zijin coins cast by the money factory have a high gold content, far exceeding the value of the currency.Very popular all over the country.The folks mostly trust to use the money minted by the Mu family in Nanhai instead of the money supervised by the Ministry of Industry of the Dazi Dynasty.The Mu family is also more economical, based on the volume of goods entering and leaving the port of Shuangcheng each year, the number of rice grains produced by the land, and the gross production value of the market circulation, plus double to determine the total amount of coins minted for the year.Therefore, the price of their money is much stronger than that of the official silver of the Qianjian of the Dazi Dynasty, and they almost took away the right to make money from the Qianjian Office of the Ministry of Industry.

That is to say, the Tongshanqian Factory in Nanhai found out the economic situation of the Dazi Dynasty.Paying taxes again accounts for half of the national tax revenue. If something goes wrong, the national economy will be unstable.Tongshan Xingshou, King Xiaojing, Mingzhu and Ji Lin are stuck in the lifeline of Dazi Dynasty.

It's not safe to go there, is it?

Just as Mingzhu wanted to persuade King Jing again, King Jing showed regret again: "Forget it. It may be my fault, and the ghost pestered me. I will go to Tongshan to worship him and resolve some grievances."

Mingzhu smiled, "Mu Xingshou is famous for his integrity and trustworthiness. You will feel more at ease when you go to Tongshan to worship."

……

Well, they were expelled from Two Cities and One Sea.

Haoyue held a puff of breath in her chest.

***

The night was like water, Haoyue took advantage of the moonlit night to sneak out of the inn.Avoided Xiaojing Wang and others in the main room of the inn.The boy galloped wildly under the moonlight, and the night wind blew across his hot face.For a moment he almost forgot who he was and where he was.

Life flows like water.It was different then and now.The upstream you is not nearly the same as the downstream you.A few days ago, he was still insulting Mingzhu on Guangji Street, but today he was furious because of his humiliation.He made him fall involuntarily.

Haoyue did not hide her anger. "Bang Dang" kicked open the gate of the Shiliting post station, and threw the torch into the arms of the imperial envoy Zhao Xiachen.

The imperial envoy was furious: "Do you know who I am?"

Slices of knife light streaked across his neck like lightning.The imperial envoy, reeking of alcohol, woke up.A layer of scalp was removed from the top of the head, and blood scattered down the scalp, completely turning into a wilderness witch god.Five subordinates besieged Haoyue, and Zhao Xiachen rushed forward in a rage. The two sides fought back and forth dozens of times, and the handsome boy defeated them like a whirlwind.

"Little guard, do you dare to beat the imperial envoy?" Zhao Xiachen recognized Li Dashan's beautiful bodyguard.

Haoyue slashed his right shoulder with a knife.

These days, the poor are afraid of the rich, the rich are afraid of the officials, and the officials are afraid of their lives.Teenagers don't hesitate to die.He stepped on the imperial envoy's chest, and the imperial envoy vomited blood wildly.He raised his knife and slashed again, and the imperial envoy fell into a pool of blood.The subordinates and station officials screamed in horror.

He really came to kill.

Outside the post station, the officers and soldiers of the governor's mansion who were secretly watching were also staring at him.General Mang Zhang Zhaohai was so excited that he rubbed his hands together: "Okay. I knew he was a good guy! Just kill the imperial envoy." He ordered someone to report to Lord Changle urgently.

Haoyue slashed like a ferocious god: "How dare you treat him like this? He is a bright pearl, the only honest gentleman in this dirty world. How dare you make him kneel down to you!"

The imperial envoy turned into a blood gourd, grabbed his silver knife and shouted: "Brother misunderstood! If I knew that Mingzhu was yours, I would not have asked him to report on his duties. He is worthy of the world, and I am such a scumbag!" How can you teach him a lesson. Stop it."

Haoyue held a bloody knife and forced him to back up: "Are you not bothering?"

"I don't care. I admire heroes the most in my life. You little boy, you are not a little knight, you have a way."

"What about the taxes in the Twin Cities?"

"It's okay to hand it in later, and it's okay if you don't. I'm only responsible for delivering the documents, and the other matters are all up to Mr. Zhang Ge and the prefect of Mingzhu!" The imperial envoy screamed while clutching his chopped-off head.He was blocked at the post station, drunk, and disabled, so he simply surrendered with a smear of face.He didn't expect Guangji to have such an upright man, he thought everything here was rotten.

Haoyue grabbed him by the hair and pulled him up: "I know what you're thinking. Hmph, you don't have a wife and children, but you always have drinking friends, mentors, and colleagues. If you dare to attack my people, I'll go to the capital to kill them." Just them. Go and rob [-] dignitaries in a row, and write on the wall, "This is done by Zhao, the witch god of the Xinsheng religion, Mr. Zhang Ge rebelled." I see if you are afraid. I am homeless and jobless, and they pay me to work hard. If you want his life, follow the rules of the officialdom, and then play him with dirty tricks. I will chop you up!"

Zhao Xiachen's face was broken, and he laughed angrily: "You can do it! Everyone will fight with open and bright moves. Who is your man, I will take a detour from now on. Is it Miaochen Mingzhu or Nanhai Xiaojing King? Hehe Xiaojing Wang Tai You are old, your taste is too strong."

Haoyue kicked him over.You really can't kill him with a knife.He turned and left.

Zhao Xiachen jumped up crying and howling, and kicked several of his subordinates over: "Get up, wash the floor, and wash away all the blood! I was bitten by a little white wolf, and you all hid aside to watch the fun. I beat you to death. Damn it, Guangji is going to rebel."

***

It rained in the middle of the night, like people's depressed mood.

Haoyue rode his horse and rushed back to the inn a hundred miles away.The back door opened.Mingzhu was waiting for him standing under the eaves of the gatehouse.

"It's useless to beat him up. Those who should come will come. Maybe it's Li Qincha, Wang Qincha, the court wants to reap the wealth of Shuangcheng."

Haoyue was still full of excitement and passion after the fight, her black hair was flying back, her eyes were shining brightly, and her cheeks were like fire and glowing with heat.He pursed his lips tightly to suppress his emotions.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the rain streamed down like a bead curtain.The bright pearl reflects the lights and smoke of the inn, which is picturesque. "Life is like a dream, like dew is like electricity." Haoyue thought of this sentence for no reason.He felt that he would always remember this scene of tonight.Dim light, transparent rain, a delicate man who is as pale as a chrysanthemum.

"How did you do it?" he asked bluntly.

Mingzhu didn't understand what he said, and frowned slightly.It is not a good sign not to understand what the other person is saying.

"I mean, how did you manage to become a good subordinate of King Jing?" Hao Yue asked with a breath.

Mingzhu's eyes sank slightly.This is beyond the bounds, their relationship is far from the point of saying this.

"It's an opportunity. It's like you came to Guangji to be his subordinate. He is a good boss, and I will try my best to be a qualified subordinate." Mingzhu considered.I don't want to talk to him anymore.He carried a dangerous air about him.And he has a kind of foresight vigilance in the face of danger.

The handsome boy's determination was faster and more powerful than his evasion: "I like you very much! I can't bear to watch you die, so leave Little Mirror King."

The young man's words pierced his heart like a javelin, Mingzhu was shattered by the sharpness, and it was too late to escape.His face was pale, and he looked at the handsome young man with angry and embarrassed eyes.He finally understood where his danger came from.The young man didn't play his cards according to common sense, and said some things that shouldn't be said lightly, such as love, hate, longing, etc., making this bad situation even more chaotic.

The beautiful boy's face was full of cruelty, and he walked up to him dangerously and briskly like a cheetah, his black eyes fixed on his prey: "You can't help him! You can't keep the sea of ​​relief either. Only when you separate can you survive."

"Are you so suspicious and picky about your master? You are not a good subordinate." Mingzhu turned and left.

The figure flickered, and Haoyue stopped in front of him, her beautiful, sharp and aggressive face forced her face: "Mingzhu, come with me, I can protect you. Let you go back to the life you should live .”

What does this mean?What should he live?Mingzhu's eyes were confused.Then he secretly regretted that he shouldn't be confused.He slightly tilted his cheeks and looked at the quiet inn next to him. The main house where King Xiao Jing lived was still lit.The light is like a bright light in the dark night, like a lonely tower on the sea, igniting his black pupils.Haoyue immediately understood what he meant.He can't leave him.

"I will help him escape and let him hide in the sea of ​​people." This is Haoyue's promise to Mingzhu, and it is also a promise made by Youdu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to local officials.He was dereliction of duty, he didn't want to investigate Wei Mo's case anymore, and he was helping two suspects get off the hook.

"Thank you, Haoyue, your heart is warmer than your knife."

"..." Was he mocking him?Haoyue frowned.

"I don't intend to leave the Mirror King." After speaking, Mingzhu wrapped her cloak tightly and walked into the back door.

"Why?" Haoyue jumped forward again, blocked the way, and held the knife tightly.

Mingzhu paused, hesitating.Should he hold this young man in his palm forever, or let him go and continue to fly.He looked back at him, the night rain, the dim light, the wet brick floor, the handsome young man who was drenched all over, and a heart that was burning like fire.The rain dripped down with his hair, his flawless facial features were cold and hot, his eyes were blood red, and he carried the heat and evil spirit of galloping back after taking revenge on the enemy hundreds of miles away.It was because of him that he sneaked back to Guangji and beat up the imperial envoy, and his bright and vivid feelings were held in front of him.

What is the most precious thing in the world?A touch of sincere, fierce, reckless love.

"I do not like you."

"What?" Haoyue's face and body trembled, and she couldn't hold the knife.

Mingzhu said seriously again: "——I don't like you. I originally thought you were a good subordinate, so I recruited you. But you made yourself an imperial envoy and caused more trouble. We can't do it anymore. I'm using you. You go."

He turned and went through the back door and closed it.

The torrential rain was like a waterfall, and Haoyue stood in the rain for a long time.The blood on the knife slid down with the raindrops, forming a small red puddle at his feet.

***

It rained all night, and people began to worry about waterlogging on the roads, delaying their trips.

The next day, the sky is clear.The fragrance of flowers and trees accompanied by coolness makes people feel refreshed.In front of the inn, people are busy preparing to go on the road.King Xiaojing only took more than a dozen bodyguards and godsons with him when he went out this time, and neither the luthier nor Duanmuqian accompanied him.

Mingzhu got up a little later than usual and walked out of the guest room.It was found that King Jing was sitting on a stone bench by the door.Beside him stood the handsome and peerless guard Haoyue.

Haoyue changed into a robe, gorgeous and serene.He is usually very indifferent, and now he is even more indifferent.Pearl doubts.

King Jing patted the ashes on the hem of his robe with his sleeve, and said listlessly: "The sun is out, let's go. The sun will get too hot in a while. You don't have to give away the pearl, as long as Haoyue is with me."

Mingzhu glanced at Haoyue in surprise.He seems to have spent all morning convincing King Jing.

Mingzhu pondered for a while.He didn't want to argue with him in front of everyone, let alone tear his face apart.He also had to return to Guangji Dajun to stare at the imperial envoy and Lord Changle.I agreed.He watched Haoyue Fujing Wang get into the carriage.After that, she slowly walked up to him.

"It's not good to use the mirror king's excuse to refuse to leave."

"I will leave. I will protect King Jing to go to Tongshan and then send him back to Shuangcheng. I am not an irresponsible person." The young man replied bluntly.

Mingzhu stared into his eyes and smiled: "...you can do whatever you want. Remember your responsibilities." She said goodbye and left.Haoyue looked up at his back for a while, then turned around and got on the horse to follow the convoy.

The spring breeze gradually blows green on both sides of the green hills, making people's minds float.

Mo Jiya looked around curiously.After the little monk Shang Zhiyu left Guangji to go to other places to practice penance, he didn't even have anyone to gossip about.He looked back at Little Mirror King again, didn't his godfather notice that the atmosphere was weird?
