Dew timid

Chapter 31

Yucheng is the intersection of the capital and Jiangnan.

Zeng Runliang sat in this position for ten years, working hard day and night, working diligently.

The ancestors of the Zeng family had titles in the capital, and the shadow of the ancestors was exhausted by Zeng Runliang's parents.

Speaking of which, Zeng Runliang was still Chengde's Tanhua Lang for 13 years.In the 13th year of Chengde, the Great Zhou came to invade, and the Great Chu was in turmoil, and the enemy almost broke through the Kanto.If the fortress is breached, it is only a matter of time before they go straight to the imperial city. The civil servants will fight, and the generals will fight. The memorials sent to the emperor are piled up like a mountain.

Zeng Runliang hadn't gone to the fief at that time. The Zeng family followed the teachings of the sages with Confucian rituals as their precepts. They were stubborn and arrogant.

The turmoil in the south of the Yangtze River is just like what Lu Yong said before, sticking to the rules, treating the symptoms but not the root cause, the rotten wood that consolidated the foundation was not removed in time, and there was a moment when the stable high-rise building collapsed. His Majesty first gave the crown prince the right to Today's approach is counterproductive.

The emperor's heart was unpredictable, and this resounding slap mercilessly slapped the prince's face.

We can't ignore things when they happen, but time is running out for the group of them to go to the south of the Yangtze River. While secretly tracking down Zeng Runliang, they send a letter back to Beijing.

The topographic map of Yucheng is still on him, and if someone finds out, the rabbit will retreat into the hole before he can see it clearly.

At that time, I really lost my wife and lost my army.

Ruan Dao took the sachet on Lu Yong's body and ran to squat to deliver the antidote to the pigeon.The task of returning things fell into the hands of Lu Yong and Fu Chengci.

The two of them came to the government office at night with familiar roads - with a "squeak", the dusty door was opened.

Lu Yong walked in first, and seeing that no one else was alarmed, Fu Chengci walked in with his back on his back, and gently closed the door.

The storage room was very large, with many sundries deposited, and some boxes were even stained with a thick layer of ash.

It was too much effort to find it like this. Lu Qi wanted to light a fire, but just as he touched his arms, he was grabbed, and his head was pushed down. Fu Chengci's voice was low and pressed against the skin of his ears, Said: "There are people patrolling outside the door."

As soon as the words were spoken, a row of lights came from the dark, and the two squatted behind a row of shelves, watching the team of guards pass by.

The two of them were close to each other, they stood up suddenly and looked at each other, Fu Chengci subconsciously turned his face away.

Lu Qi looked past him and landed on a booklet hanging on the wall, which marked the storage location of some things.

After returning the things to their original owners, the two hurried back to the inn.

In the lobby on the first floor, the night watchman was drowsy with his head on one hand. Fu Chengci led people around to the dark alley, where an extended tree with a crooked neck happened to lead to a certain room on the second floor.

Lu Qi's sprained ankle showed problems at this moment, and when he entered the room, the hem of his clothes was cut by a branch that protruded.

The inertia of the landing made the already injured ankle instantly hurt beyond the sky. He had little flesh in his body, and it was him who hurt Fu Chengci's back when his shoulder blade hit him. The latter turned around with a smile on his face. It seemed that he didn't see his embarrassment at the moment.

Half pushed and half hugged him in his arms, and said affectionately: "Put in your arms?"

Lu Yong managed to stand still, and said with a smile: "I have trouble with my legs and feet, so please take me back to my room."

Fu Chengci raised his long and narrow eyebrows, and he really helped the person to walk to the room, but it was not the room that Lu Yong mentioned.

Leaning halfway on the table, Lu Yong looked at Fu Chengci, and said in a cool tone, "What does your lord mean?"

"Come here," Fu Chengci patted the vacant person beside the bed, and said, "If you don't take medicine on your ankle, it may be difficult to land tomorrow morning."

Lu Yong walked over with a sad face.

After taking the medicine, Fu Chengci didn't let anyone leave. He directly blew on the lamp, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, and made a gesture of embracing him in his arms. His voice was deep and indescribable: "Just now Go to sleep now, if you go back to your room now, you will alarm others."

Lu Qi hesitated for a moment, looked into the depths of the other party's open eyes, swallowed the words of refusal, and had done all the intimate things, but now he is narrow-minded.

He was lying on the inside under the quilt, and the moment he turned his back, he didn't notice the sternness and sharpness that flashed in Fu Chengci's eyes.

Covered with a quilt, they could hear each other's steady breathing quietly, and felt that they were trapped in a warm embrace, with an arm across his waist, encircling him, and soon Lu Qi fell asleep down.

When I woke up the next day, there was already a figure outside the bed.

The ankles don't need much strength, and walking is not a problem. When Lu Yong walked out, Fu Chengci and Lu Yu were having breakfast below, talking and laughing.

The hand hanging by the side unconsciously tightened, and the unwilling obsession took root in the bottom of my heart.

Immediately, he sighed softly, and when he opened his eyes to look down, the haze in his pupils was swept away, and the ancient well was as calm as stagnant water.

Except for asking someone to bring food, Lu Qi didn't go out, even Lu Yu and Fu Cheng resigned to visit the folks, and he didn't say a word.

On the bed, Lu Yong bound his hands together with his teeth biting the rope, and stuffed a ball of cloth in his mouth to prevent him from gnashing his teeth or biting his tongue to kill himself. But he never returned.

Those who can't bear the unhappiness will die under their own hands, or they will understand with a sword, or they will die of bloodshed and suffering.

And he doesn't want to die yet...

It took a while for the stick of incense to relieve the pain from the bone erosion caused by thousands of insects. The sweat-soaked mattress could be squeezed out, the broken hair was pressed against the cheeks, and the cold sweat rustled from the temples.

This is what Ruan Dao saw when he entered the door. The people on the bed curled up together, their empty eyes were like a body that lost its soul, about to wither and fall.

Ruan Dao hastily loosened the man's wrist, and took away the cloth stuffed in his mouth, his movements were very gentle, lest he hurt the person on the bed.

Haobai's wrist was strangled with two bruises, and even the jaws were bleeding faintly, as far as the eye could see, he was in a state of distress.

Facing Shang Lu Yong's gaze, Ruan Dao, who has always been cold-hearted, was filled with the joy of surviving after the catastrophe.

The toxicity of Buchun is violent, and I will not let it go. After this time, it may be more violent next time unless the antidote is taken.

The whole body was soaked in the medicated bath, and took two medicated baths along the way. Lu Yong leaned against the edge of the tub, and a mouthful of blood slowly flowed down from the corner of his lips. Lu Yong stiffly raised his hand to wipe it away.

The medicated bath penetrated into the skin and paralyzed the limbs. After Lu Qi laboriously finished this action, even the bones were screaming in protest.

After the breath passed, Lu Yong heard the movement from downstairs, and happened to bump into Fu Chengci and Lu Yu entering the door side by side. The relationship between the two seemed to be one step closer than when they first went to Jiangnan.

After returning to the room, Lu Yong went to Fu Chengci's room. He pulled down his sleeves, just covering his palms.

He originally wanted to ask what was going on in the city today, and talk to this person by the way.

The dark red eyes didn't look very clearly, but the voice was familiar: "You go out with the prince, can you..."

Fu Chengci interrupted him coldly: "I had a deep bond with the prince when I was young, so don't think too much about it."

Lu Qi smiled wryly, but he also wanted to argue: "How do you know what I want to ask?"

Fu Chengci glanced at him lightly, then withdrew his gaze and adjusted the dark sleeves on his wrists: "It's nothing more than what happened in the city with the prince today."

"My lord, that's true," Lu Qi paused, and the words that were about to argue changed on the lips, "It's really... very smart."

Fu Chengci gave him a strange look. The situation in Yucheng was worse than they imagined. Lu Yu was worried about something in his heart. Naturally, he couldn't be happy when he missed Lu Yu. He didn't even want to do the show of comforting that person. .

At first, I thought that Lu Yong would hold on to this, but I didn't expect it to be solved so easily.

Looking at Lu Qi's leaving back, he felt a sense of strangeness in his heart. This strange behavior made him feel a little uneasy.

Pass the letter back to the capital, and get a reply, the court will send people to come at that time. If you wait for a long time and do nothing, it will make people suspicious. After the matter is finalized, it is not their responsibility.

One person stayed in Yucheng, and the rest continued to set off in the afternoon of the same day, heading south.

I drove all night to Wangdu, which really belongs to Jiangnan, because the officials in Jiangnan were notified in advance, and the prince paid a private visit in micro-service.

As soon as they arrived at the place, everyone was arranged to enter the station.

Different from sleeping in the open air while on the road, or resting in the inn along the way, the inn was built by the royal family, so the conditions are naturally much better.

Along the way, only Wangdu is the most prosperous and prosperous city, because it is closer to the capital, and the temperature is suitable, but the climate in the south of the Yangtze River is more humid.

Different from the fatigue of Yucheng, there are only a few refugees on the streets of Wangdu, but they have all been properly resettled. There are still lanterns that have not been unloaded at night hanging in the streets and neighborhoods. The crowds are bustling. What is the situation.

The local county magistrate, surnamed Zhang, was born round and rich, and he could respond freely to the future prince. Can't really fault it at all.

After sending them to the gate of the post station, he bowed to the three of them one after another, "Nowadays, there is a flood in the south, and the people are displaced. However, the officials and officials keep their words light, and what they do is only modest. In the evening, a small banquet will be held at the mansion. , to wash away the wind and dust for a few of you, and hope that His Highness the Crown Prince, King Qi, and King Jiangbei must honor your presence."

Lu Yu responded with a smile.

After the repair, the group went to Zhang's mansion, Master Zhang stood guard in front of the mansion, when he saw a few people coming, he trotted down the steps to welcome them, and saluted Zhou Quan: "I have seen His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness King Jin, and King Jiangbei. "

The rules cannot be broken, Lu Yu has the highest status among them, so he should be at the front, Master Zhang is the master of this family, he is a few steps behind to lead the way for the prince.

It was said to be a small banquet, but it was really a small banquet. There were no singers and dancers, and four tables were set up, all of which were empty and hadn't been served yet.

Lu Yu sat on the first seat, and looked around the surrounding environment indifferently.Mr. Zhang stood in front of his desk and explained: "There is no singing and dancing to add to the fun, and the meals are all good dishes that the chefs in the house are good at. I hope His Highness the Crown Prince will not dislike them."

Lu Yong then covered his face with his hands while toasting, and the corners of his lips curled into an inconspicuous arc, implying sarcasm.

The common people were displaced. As a county guard, he was diligent and frugal, and he knew the etiquette.

If it is said to the outside world, it is not a folk tale.

He was not the only one who had doubts in his heart, and Fu Chengci happened to show a meaningful smile when he looked up.
