The moon was as cool as water, and the charcoal basin in the house made a crackling sound.

When Huang Yaoshi first heard the sound, he straightened up quickly and did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly walked out of the house and closed the door tightly, fearing that the gentle moonlight would further confuse him.

On the bed, Lou Jingmo slowly opened his eyes when he heard the door closing.Just as Lin Chaoying would not easily expose the gate of her wrist to others, it is also impossible for her to be really trapped because she is extremely exhausted and does not know who is entering the gate.

"Fool." Lou Jingmo whispered two words with a smile, stretched out his hand to touch the warmth on his forehead, and fell asleep again under the hazy moonlight.

In the next few days, Quanzhen Sect also had a more welcoming atmosphere for the Shangyuan Festival.

Especially when Zhou Botong walked back to Mount Zhongnan, Wang Chongyang's apprentices were so teased that they used the name of training their martial arts to play the game of sneak attack and throwing snowballs to the extreme.

Groups of white snowballs can fly from the roof, from the trees, hit the front door when opening the door, or be filled with snow just after leaving the latrine. The opportunity to wear good pants makes the buttocks instantly cold for the winter.

Headed by Ma Yu, Wang Chongyang's seven disciples formed the Anti-Snowball Alliance. They all knew that the master was cultivating these days, and it was absolutely impossible to restrain his uncle Zhou Botong because of such trivial matters.

Before deciding when Zhou Botong's playfulness would disappear, the seven decided not to travel alone, and decided to start an offensive and defensive battle within the range of the Quanzhen Sect mountaintop.

Zhou Botong sneezed a few times and didn't care if he was cursed secretly, he came to Lou Ke's room through the window. "Ake, the snowball fights you mentioned are really fun. Oh, why didn't I find out that this group of little bull noses is also very interesting. Are you really going to leave Zhongnan Mountain after you recover? No one taught me how to be so interesting. game."

Lou Ke stretched out his index finger in front of his lips to silence his voice, and Zhou Botong immediately covered his mouth to express that he would not speak. It is not necessary to let more people know about such fun, especially not wanting to let Wang Chongyang know.

"You were staring at the sky in a daze just now." Zhou Botong looked closely at Lou Ke's head, the golden needles on it had been pulled out, "It doesn't mean that you can remember the past after three or five days at the most, after the breath in your head is straightened out, Haven't figured it out yet?"

Lou Ke didn't answer directly, he pointed to the Lantern Festival warmed by a small fire on the table. "Just now, everyone was eating Lantern Festival together in the hall. Daoist Wang couldn't find you, so I specially left a copy for you. The sky is already dark, and the full moon has risen into the sky. Aren't you hungry?"

Zhou Botong patted his belly that had screamed several times, he was afraid that Wang Chongyang would keep nagging about New Year's prospect and so on, so he ran away.Now, regardless of Yuan Xiao's burning mouth, he ate it, and said inarticulately, "Although senior brother is a bit talkative, I know he can always remember me. This stuffing must be specially made for me. It smells of honey in it."

Is Wang Chongyang talkative?

Lou Ke looked at Zhou Botong who was eating Lantern Festival heartlessly. Only Zhou Botong's indifferent personality didn't understand the feeling of loneliness, so Zhou Botong would not stare at the moon in a daze.

"Ke'er, the greatest wish of being a father in this life is to regain the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.This may be a fool's dream, but I am willing to give it a go, otherwise the disaster of the Jin soldiers' invasion of Bianjing in the past will sooner or later become the difficulty of the Mongolian swallowing of the Song Dynasty. '

Lou Ke looked at the bright full moon in the sky, he already remembered everything, recalled his life experience, remembered why he encountered a fire and was hunted down when he was six years old.Just as expected, he and his infant sister were burdened by the family. If I had to generalize, it would be because of just four words in the final analysis - power struggle.

"Seriously, what's so good about the moon?" Zhou Botong looked up at the moon, and then at the Yuanxiao in the bowl. They were all round, or the Yuanxiao looked at Huanshi. "You all like to look at the moon, and so do brothers. Don't you really fantasize about Chang'e floating down from it?"

Lou Ke shook his head slowly, if there were gods descending to earth, he would be willing to send them to command soldiers. "I just think that the bright moon is easy to be cold."

Zhou Botong blinked his eyes, not understanding why Lou Ke said that. "Don't be depressed, Ah Ke. You have just recovered and are not suitable for running up and down the mountain, so you can't go to the town to have fun. There will be opportunities every year in the future. At worst, I will accompany you to pull the rabbit lantern."

"There will be opportunities every year in the future." Lou Ke laughed as he said that, and he slowly shook his head, "Don't lie to me. I don't want to accompany you to pull some rabbit lights."

At this moment, at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain, Qinghui Town is very lively to celebrate the Lantern Festival.

Lou Jingmo and Yaoshi Huang came to the foot of the mountain to replenish medicinal materials, but the pharmacy is not open at night and they have to wait until tomorrow to pick up the goods.The two had an excuse to stay overnight in the inn, so that they could enjoy the excitement of the Lantern Festival.

People in the town cannot celebrate the festive season without a word of lamp.The large and small shops along the street are hung with colorful lights, and there are several places where the colored lights are tied and pushed to guess lantern riddles.Compared to guessing lantern riddles which were not difficult, Lou Jingmo chose to pull the rabbit lantern which Lou Ke seemed a bit silly.

The stalls along the street sell semi-handmade rabbit lamps, and the price is almost the same as that of finished rabbit lamps.The stall owner first made a rough outline with bamboo branches and white paper, and then prepared some paints for the guests, so that people can draw the patterns they want.

"What the hell are you painting?" Huang Yaoshi reluctantly agreed to pull the rabbit lamp together, and he used a few strokes to paint a rabbit lamp on the street with a touch of a palace lantern.Unexpectedly, Lou Jingmo next to her kept dipping her pen in pink paint, and countless small flowers bloomed on her white-bottomed rabbit lamp, which lacked any sense of beauty at all.

However, Lou Jingmo was very satisfied with the painting of the soul on the rabbit lamp, "Is there anything wrong with these flowers? They are drawn with reference to your peach blossom forest. I think I saw peach blossoms in the formation of Peach Blossom Island, just like your current one. The mood is exactly the same. I deliberately let you feel the same way, isn’t it wonderful? You don’t need to thank me, this is what I should do.”

"You! You are really good at drawing." Seeing Lou Jingmo's funny smile, Huang Yaoshi was sure that she deliberately brought out an ugly rabbit. "I said, why are you interested in pulling the rabbit lamp? It turns out that you are waiting for me here."

"If you want to understand it that way, I can't help it. Looking at it from another angle, it's still very unique. You can't find another rabbit lamp with such personality in a radius of ten miles."

Lou Jing Moxin said that such an ugly and cute rabbit lamp is unique enough, and she resolutely doesn't want Huang Yaoshi to superimpose and modify it, as if she pulled a golden rabbit and walked on the street with high spirits.

Huang Yaoshi recited silently. Fortunately, those ghostly talisman-like flowers cannot be seen as peach blossoms. Since they are so ugly that they can't tell what kind of flowers they are, they won't think of the colorful fallen flowers on Peach Blossom Island.

In this way, he can still bear to walk side by side with Lou Jingmo, and reluctantly let the Wanhua Lantern go forward with his Jade Rabbit Lantern, regardless of the difference in their painting styles.

The two lights along the way caused a very high rate of turning heads.

Lou Jingmo endured the pain with a smile.After walking around for a while and returning to the inn, the two of them burned two paper rabbits fortunately because they had to take away the paper lanterns because of the inconvenience of walking, which made Huang Yaoshi obviously heave a sigh of relief.

Huang Yaoshi waited for the paper lantern in the warm basin to be reduced to ashes, and all the embarrassment and discomfort he had experienced along the way were also burned away, before he said rather emphatically, "Laugh if you want, so you don't have to bear it."

"You burned all the lamps, why am I laughing at you? If I look at you laughing and are accused of laughing at you, then I have to work hard to put out the fire." Lou Jingmo has no regrets either, the ugly and cute Wanhua rabbit The lamp can be burned, but the memory of the journey just now cannot be burned, so she doesn't want to keep everything.Then he took out another piece of jade pendant and put it in Huang Yaoshi's hands, "It's a spiritual compensation for you."

The pink and moist sand jade has been carved into a peach blossom, the carving is fine but still a little stiff.

At a glance, Huang Yaoshi knew that it was different from the box of beautiful jade that he got once, this peach blossom jade should be carved by a novice, and that novice is right in front of his eyes. "The carving of this jade shows that someone is not good at learning. I accept it without hesitation, but I kindly remind you, don't show off to others."

Who showed off!Love or not!

Lou Jingmo read it twice without getting angry, Huang Yaoshi always spoke like this.She recalled Huang Yaoshi's expression on pulling the rabbit lamp just now, poured another glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp, swallowing all the annoying thoughts.

Huang Yaoshi regretted not being able to wait for Lou Jingmo to promise not to give anyone else a jade pendant, but he rubbed the peach blossom jade in his hand and thought of the jade hairpin carved last night, and asked seriously, "When are you leaving? Do you want to go to Kunlun again? "

"It is inconvenient to tell Master Wang the truth about some things. Senior Lin really needs to change her environment as soon as possible. I asked her to live in Kunlun for the sake of her health. Therefore, after I have asked my brother about some things, if there is no accident, the day after tomorrow morning Just move."

Lin Chaoying's meaning was very clear, there was no need to tell Wang Chongyang about everything about her, and since she left Zhongnan Mountain this time, the two of them might really never see each other again in this lifetime.

Lou Jingmo didn't say much about it.Both Wang Chongyang and Lin Chaoying have a kindness towards her, and she can't resolve the grievances between them, all she can do is to let them be well.

Huang Yaoshi poured a glass of wine by himself, and it will take a long time to get together to enjoy the moon after tonight.He looked at the night sky outside the window and was silent for a while, "After all, this place is not as lively as Jiangnan. The Lantern Festival in Gusu City will have fireworks. Back then, we only focused on testing medicine in the suburbs and didn't see the night view of fireworks. I heard that Hangzhou is the grandest and most beautiful. In the future, you Would you like to go back to Jiangnan to watch a Shangyuan fireworks?"

On the night of the New Year's Eve, the east wind blows flowers and thousands of trees at night, and blows down stars like rain.

Lou Jingmo has never seen such a beautiful scene in a prosperous age, so of course he would like to see it with his own eyes, or even find a person in a dimly lit place. "Of course I want to go back to Jiangnan, but there are so many trivial matters that I need to wait. Maybe it will take three to five years."

"It's only three or five years, then we will go to Hangzhou together." Huang Yaoshi put the peach blossom jade pendant in his arms and asked, "I haven't seen the full moon in Kunlun yet, so you never thought of inviting me to the snow-capped mountains to enjoy the moon? "

Lou Jingmo just added a glass of wine with a smile. The moonlit night in the snowy mountains was icy cold, and Huang Yaoshi, who liked bright peach blossoms, couldn't get used to it.Even though she has lived in the snow-capped mountains for many years, she still misses the gentle spring in the south of the Yangtze River. "I'll talk about it when I have a chance in the future."

----

Fifteen moons and sixteen rounds.

Lou Jingmo replenished the medicinal materials in the Quanzhen Sect Medicine Store, and she returned to the guest room after working around to see Lou Ke was already sitting by the window, he obviously had something to say. "Brother, why did you suddenly get sick this time? I see your pulse is poisonous, who did you meet in Mongolia? It must not be Ouyang Feng, he is still staying in the desert."

"A lama, he should belong to a sect somewhere in Qinghai. That's all right, the medicine you gave has already dealt with him." Lou Ke didn't take that kind of character to heart, he was seriously injured but the other party was already dead Now, the important thing is never the thug, but the master behind him. "I will be injured in Mongolia. It can be regarded as an accident, and it is caused by meddling in a business."

The Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia have been in conflict for years on the border, and the Kingdom of Jin has been defeated again and again, and it has already planned to abandon the capital of Beijing and move south to Bianjing as its capital.

Lou Ke did not encounter a large-scale conflict between the two armies, but encountered a small-scale incident of looting a border town, among which was Xiao Louchun's inside line planted in the Kingdom of Jin.The golden soldiers stationed in the border town were defeated, making the small town almost empty.There was blood all over the floor, ten rooms were empty, and there was no need to describe the tragedy.

"Although there is only one group of Mongolian soldiers, their methods of looting are very brutal. Killing all the men in the town is to rob the wealth and women back to the grassland. When I meet them on a narrow road, even if I don't want to have a conflict, I can't resist it. The opponent intends to kill. In the battle, injuries are unavoidable."

Lou Ke summed up the cause of the sudden disease in a few words. It was not an enemy looking for revenge, but just met a Mongolian army team with martial arts people in command, and it was not a common thing before the troubled times. "I was just unlucky. The lama I met had poison in his internal strength. He was also unlucky, so he was killed by your medicine. That Mongolian army was also wiped out. Search from the leader Judging from the items I got, that guy really has made a lot of military exploits at a young age."

Xiaolouchun's bodyguard team walking on the border of Jinmeng and Mongolia has always been fully armed. The Mongolian army team they encountered this time was the most powerful in history, and Xiaolouchun's bodyguard team suffered heavy casualties.Not to mention that they took advantage of the danger and captured all the wounded Mongolian troops after the battle between the Mongolian army and the guards of the Kingdom of Jin. After all, it was always you who died on the battlefield.

Lou Ke didn't mention that the leader of the dead team was named Temujin, the dead people are not worth mentioning, and there is no need for Lou Jingmo to worry about the follow-up. "Someone is finishing things over there. I have one more thing to tell you. Do you know that the current emperor is not the son of the emperor."

"This matter is well known. The Taishang Emperor Zhao Gou has no heirs. He selected several boys from the clan to be raised in the palace 50 years ago. More than 20 years ago, he named the current Shang Zhao as the crown prince and abdicated in the same year. Zhao Yan."

The whole Song Dynasty knew what Lou Jingmo said, and it wasn't some palace secret. "Brother, if you have something to say, just say it, and you don't need to go around."

Lou Ke took a deep look at Lou Jingmo, he had already said it directly, but now Lou Jingmo didn't want to think about it.

"Little sister, you cured my poison, and you reminded me of the past. You should know that the most vicious struggle in the world comes from the deep palace, and you can't ask for more than imperial power.

Today, when he was young, he entered the palace to be raised by the Supreme Emperor, but is an emperor really willing to pass on the imperial power to his nephew?Later, Yue Fei went to the north to fight against the gold, but the court, headed by Qin Hui, tried his best to make peace. Zhao Gou recalled Yue Fei with twelve gold medals, and later Yue Fei was thrown into prison by Qin Huigou and executed.

Qin Hui has become a sinner through the ages, but Zhao Gou, as the emperor who issued the imperial decree, is he really innocent?You have also known for a long time that today is different from Zhao Gou. When he ascended the throne, he focused on fighting to regain lost ground, but he was frequently obstructed by the Supreme Emperor.May I ask, before he was crowned prince, did Qin Hui, who was powerful in the court for decades, really never take precautions against him?

The main battle lord and the two factions are fighting each other to the death, and Zhao Gou has to let the imperial power fall aside because he has no children.These things are far away in the temple, and it seems that they have nothing to do with you and me. I am afraid that my father would never have thought that someone would be ruthless and ruthless to burn down the county prince's mansion and attack his wife and children.

Ke, Mr. Lou He really got it right with this name, I don't know if he hit it by mistake or did it on purpose. "

Lou Jingmo couldn't help but took a step back, and tightly held the wooden fan in his sleeve.In order to find out the truth in those years, they investigated many people and things, but the only one they didn't touch was the royal family of the Song Dynasty. Xu Shi never thought about how close or far the distance between Hangzhou and Suzhou was.

The current Holy Majesty has a total of six children, four boys and two girls, all of whom were born to the former queen Guo. Guo passed away before she became the throne today, not long after she gave birth to her youngest daughter.Died together was a five-month-old baby girl who was still in her infancy, and Zhao Ke, the fourth son of the emperor who disappeared and never saw him again.

"Lou Ke, King Shao Mourning Su Zhao Ke." Lou Jingmo slowly closed his eyes. King Shao Mourning Su is the title given to Zhao Ke today, and the palace has not yet determined whether the fourth son of the emperor is still alive.

It is no longer important to fight because of what kind of conspiracy in Zhao Yun's mansion back then.Later, Zhao Yan successfully ascended the throne, and after more than 20 years, those past events have also been dealt with.However, in this way, he finally understood why Abi abandoned her.

Murong Fu dedicated his whole life to restoring the country. If the restoration was successful, the Zhao Song Dynasty would be overthrown.How could Abi teach martial arts to the royal family of the Song Dynasty? Wouldn't that be completely contrary to Murong Fu's wish? This is absurd but reasonable.

"I know you won't recognize your ancestors, but there are some things you have to think about what you want to say." Lou Ke didn't say what it was and who he told, he had already left when Lou Jingmo closed his eyes out.

Perhaps after a cup of tea or more, there were obviously unsteady footsteps at the door of the house.

Lou Jingmo had to open her eyes when she heard the sound. She had never cared about her family, but it was impossible for someone to turn a blind eye. Huang Yaoshi stood at the door trying to suppress his emotions.

"I want to hear from you that this is not true. There is no Zhao Ke, and there is no emperor's daughter. This is because Brother Lou made a mistake, and there is a problem with our treatment method."

Huang Yaoshi couldn't believe the truth he overheard back then. If there was anyone in this world he wanted to kill but couldn't, it was the Zhao family of the Song family.

The decline of the Huang family was caused by the Emperor Zhao. His grandfather was demoted by Zhao Gou because of his close relationship with Yue Fei in the main battle.And his father once again became a victim of the party struggle, he was demoted by Zhao Yun and went to Qinzhou, where he died of illness after ten years of depression.

Ten years in Qinzhou, Huang Yaoshi first sent away Huang Lao and then Huang's father. He knew that the deaths of the two were not directly ordered by the two generations of emperors, but how could they have nothing to do with each other.

He observes the great festival of loyalty and filial piety instead of etiquette, so it is impossible to recognize that thunder, rain and dew are all the grace of the king.He smashed Confucian temples, killed corrupt officials, and stayed far away from the court. He couldn't mess up the world because of his own hatred, but he couldn't do anything to make the people of the Zhao family half-hearted.

The Huang family was just like other official families in this era. They could not say clearly that the emperor was unfair, and all the ups and downs of the family's officialdom and the rise and fall of personnel were actually determined by the emperor's order.

Maybe you can't hate, but you can't say nothing without grudges, and being sincerely friends with the Zhao family is even more idiotic.If it weren't for an accident in his early years, Huang Yaoshi would have avoided Lou Jingmo and Lou Ke just because of their elder names.

"True can't be fake." Lou Jingmo understood that what Lou Ke said was to think carefully about what to say, referring to how to clarify the inside story to Huang Yaoshi. "You and I……"

Lou Jingmo didn't know what to say, no matter how powerful she was, she couldn't change her body and skin on the spot.

But Huang Yaoshi couldn't bear it anymore, the gloomy resentment he had harbored for many years due to the death of his elders had nowhere to vent, and he couldn't help but get angry at Lou Jingmo, "Yes, father is not free and easy, and he can't let it go. I don’t understand how he became a victim. He wanted to serve the emperor all his life, but the emperor relegated him to Qinzhou, where he couldn’t be farther away. He didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of him, can’t I blame him!”

Lou Jingmo couldn't refute, and of course Huang Yaoshi could resent the Zhao family, but could she be blamed?

"So you are going to blame me? Brother Huang, you should also be reasonable. The five-month-old baby left the royal family in its infancy. The difficult escape all the way, and the narrow escape in those years, apart from my brother and my husband, only You know best what kind of life I live. When we were eating and sleeping in the dilapidated courtyard in Gusu, when we were being bullied by the beggar gang, did my brother and I ever receive the slightest favor from the Zhao family!"

"I'll reason with you. Before my grandfather and father died, who would have reasoned with them? Tell them that it's right or wrong to have ambitions."

Huang Yaoshi laughed instead, the sadness in his laughter couldn't be stopped.He was holding a jade hairpin tightly in his sleeve, and he came here to give the hairpin, who would have thought that he would hear such a truth. "Who can reason with me?"

'tick, tick'

The sound of blood dripping to the ground was heard silently in the house.

Lou Jingmo saw the blood falling from Huang Yaoshi's sleeve. She just took a step forward but saw Huang Yaoshi take a step back. It seems that some things are destined to be impossible to negotiate today.

"Brother Huang, yesterday you asked me why I didn't invite you to Kunlun to enjoy the moon. It's because it snows all year round in Kunlun, and the moonlit nights in Kunlun Mountain are always bitingly cold. Why don't I want to settle in the south of the Yangtze River, and why don't I know how much Peach Blossom Island is? Well, it’s just that I can’t say or dare to think, because I’m also afraid, afraid that the reason that separated us for the first time will separate us for the second time.”

Lou Jingmo looked sideways at the bright moon that was rounder than last night outside the window. "Look, the day has finally come."

Huang Yaoshi felt even more pain in his heart when he heard it, and when he saw that there seemed to be tears in the corners of Lou Jingmo's eyes, he couldn't help but want to reach out and wipe them away for her, but the next moment he turned around and went out.

"Give me some time to be quiet. I need to think about it and don't come to me."

The noise the two made in the room naturally attracted Lou Ke's attention, but when he came, Huang Yaoshi had already clutched the blood-stained jade hairpin in his hand and left like the wind, leaving only bloodstains on the ground.

"He already knows." Lou Ke saw the blood stains on the ground, and then looked at the expressionless Lou Jingmo, "Little sister, you..."

Lou Jingmo took a deep breath, turned around and returned to normal, "It's nothing, I don't blame him. Brother Huang is the most difficult thing in this matter, how can I blame him. Don't talk about it, we have always wanted the right time and the right place. , Renhe, now that Renhe is coming quietly, brother should be happy to finally be able to let go of his hands and feet."

Lou Ke had thought it over for a while. After Zhao Yan succeeded to the throne, the relationship between Song and Jin was peaceful for the time being. It is obviously inappropriate for such a situation to raise an uproar.Now thinking of all the past, it was a godsend opportunity, and he was bound to return to Hangzhou to take over the crown prince. "I can handle things in the palace by myself. You and Senior Lin can go to Kunlun. I only have one relative in this life. The sky is big and the earth is big. As long as you want to be free, little sister, brother will do his best to allow you to be free for the rest of your life."
