Chapter 416

After experiencing the turmoil in Tianlang Lake, he suddenly came to Dongming Mountain, which is isolated from the world. The pace of life with almost nothing to do made people feel a little uncomfortable.

After eating in the morning, the rest of the work is to be idle. Ye Jingtang has a restless temperament, and his injury is not good and he is not suitable for boxing, so he followed Qinghe to visit the medicine fields deep in the mountains, and also It is an early spring.

Benben stayed in Yun'an City in the past years. Now that he came outside the customs, he definitely wanted to look around, but the master was in front of him. She couldn't be a daughter-in-law like Qinghe to support her lover. She just followed behind, holding a Pick up some items for a picnic, and wander around with Master.

Shui'er has such a personality, she seems to be interested in everything, wandering all the way to the mountains and rivers, occasionally stopping to rest, she would even tease Qing He:

"As expected of a Saint Thief who is unrivaled in the lightness of the world, he worked hard all night yesterday and got up early to climb the mountain with such agility..."

"You can die if you don't speak?"

"It's just the four of us, and there are no outsiders. It's boring not to talk..."

……

Yejingtang was basking in the early spring sun, wandering in the green mountains and fields, because the three girls had no milk, so it was not easy to move their hands on the road, so they just silently listened to the conversation of the three.

The medicine fields in Dongming Mountain are all reclaimed on the hillside, where medicinal materials such as gastrodia elata are planted, and there are artificially raised wild ginseng in the woods. Because the harvest is usually counted on an annual basis, there is no one to look after it, only the responsible clan elders, Occasionally patrol the mountain and turn around.

After walking for a long time, the four of them arrived at a flat ridge. Looking out, they could see the mountains and the wasteland in the distance. The thin clouds had reached their feet, and the scenery was quite magnificent.

Fan Qinghe put down the things he carried, took out a blanket and spread it on the newly sprouted grass, and then sat down on it with Ye Jingtang.

Master Xuanji is rather lazy, and wanted to sit down beside her, but Fan Qinghe saw that the demon girl would not help with anything, and wanted to enjoy the ready-made ones, so she was a little unhappy, so she motioned to the grove next to her, and ordered:

"You go and chop a tree, cut some sticks, and let's play the drinking order."

Master Xuanji did not refuse this, and came to a small tree with the Hehuan sword, and cut it into several sections with a few strokes of "唰唰唰唰", and carved words on it.

Dongfang Liren sat next to Ye Jingtang, seeing his master walking away, he gently approached Fan Qinghe, and asked with concern:

"Miss Fan, how is your health, are you okay?"

Fan Qinghe is quite patient. Although piling was half-night yesterday, it was only a little sore in the morning, and it is already fine now.

Seeing the Queen asked directly, she blushed, and said to him from left to right:
"What can I do, you should ask Ye Jingtang."

"I'm pretty good. I feel like I'll be fine after a few more days of recovery. My skill has also increased a bit. I guess it's enough for a Martial Saint."

Ye Jingtang sat on the blanket, seeing the two of them sitting far away, his eyes felt a little helpless:
"Sit closer, sit so far away, where will Fairy Lu sit later..."

People from Dongfangli were afraid of being touched, so they placed the dried fruit they carried, pretending they didn't hear it.

And Fan Qinghe saw that the queen was not moving, and Ye Jingtang spoke again, she couldn't pretend that she couldn't hear, so she could only move forward a little, but she was touched on the lower back as soon as she got close.

The three of them chatted for a few words before Master Xuanji came back from not far away, holding a freshly cut wooden stick, and even made a wooden stick by the way, and sat down next to Liren:
"Have you ever played with the wine lister? The lottery is drawn in turn, and those who are drawn will follow the instructions on the lottery, and drink if they can't do it."

Dongfang Liren naturally played this game before, but he was worried about the master's sense of proportion, so he turned his head to look at the wooden stick:
"Master, what did you engrave?"

Master Xuanji took the wooden sign and did not let the disciples see it:
"My family is playing in private, so it's natural to be more open. I can't do it and drink."

Ye Jingtang felt that Shui'er was going to be a demon, but the three girls were all his wives, so there was nothing he couldn't let go of, so he smiled and said:

"Let's have a try, how about I come first?"

Seeing this, Master Xuanji handed the lottery to Ye Jingtang.

Fan Qinghe felt that the demon girl would definitely mess around, but with Dongfang Liren in front of her, the demon girl was no matter how embarrassing she was, so she didn't hesitate at the moment, watching Ye Jingtang shake the stick.

shhhhh~
It only shook back and forth a few times before a white wooden stick fell on the blanket.

Dongfang Liren picked up the signature and glanced at it slightly:
"Kiss the person on the right..."

As he said that, he blinked his eyes, and looked to the right side of Yejing Hall...

Isn't that her? !

Dongfang Liren was taken aback, and quickly inserted the stick back, with a dignified expression:

"you drink."

Ye Jingtang can do it well, why should he drink?He said with a smile: "You have to follow the rules when drinking wine. It's just for fun at the wine table, it's nothing..."

While speaking, he leaned over and poked on the stupid face:
"Okay, it's your turn."

Dongfang Liren was poked in front of his master, his face turned red, and after glaring at Ye Jingtang, he suppressed the embarrassment in his heart, took the lottery by himself, and shook it back and forth.

shhhhh~
pat~
The signature fell on the blanket, face up, and before Dongfang Liren picked it up, he saw the words on it - holding his breasts and shaking...

?

Dongfang Liren was speechless, and turned to look at the dignified master next to him who was full of fairy spirit:
"Master, what are you writing about?"

Master Xuanji didn't expect Liren to be so unlucky, so she shrugged slightly and said:
"Just for fun, without losing a piece of meat, if you can't make it, just have a drink."

Dongfang Liren doesn't drink as much as his master, so let's start drinking now, what if we get something even more outrageous later and drink too much?
She hesitated for a moment, raised her hand to hold the fat-headed dragon, shook it slightly, and then quickly gave the lottery tube to the master.

Fan Qinghe knew that the demon girl was very skilled in martial arts, and was afraid that the witch would cheat, so she moved to the front and stared at her hands carefully:
"Shake quickly."

Master Xuanji didn't bother to cheat, so he swung around twice and threw out his signature.

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang looked like a curious baby, and he and Benben came up to him to have a look.

As a result, it can be seen that it says - when was the first time you hugged a man?
"..."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang and Fan Qinghe had weird eyes.

Dongfang Liren, on the other hand, was full of gossip, and asked a little closer:

"Master, have you ever hugged a man?"

When Master Xuanji saw the sign, he naturally remembered the night in the depths of Mount Wu, hugging Ye Jingtang.

But in front of Liren, she was too embarrassed to say so, so she picked up the wine gourd:
"I'll drink. Qinghe, it's your turn."

"Oh~..."

Dongfang Liren was disappointed and looked at Aunt Fan again.

When it was Fan Qinghe's turn, he naturally became nervous. He picked up the sign and shook it back and forth twice. He didn't dare to read the signature when it fell off, but asked Ye Jingtang:
"Written what?"

Ye Jingtang picked up the signature and read it with Benben:

"Rub the one sitting on the left..."

Fan Qinghe was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to be able to draw such a good lottery, everyone was a bit more energetic, before the witch dodged, she leaned over, raised her hand and squeezed it full, with five fingers stuck in it, and rubbed it back and forth twice , also came a sentence:
"So soft, aren't you witch?"

Master Xuanji's mind is quite tyrannical, and he said without changing his face, "That's natural~".

Dongfangli's face turned red when she saw the two girls playing so fancy, and she dared to peek at Ye Jingtang. Her eyes turned cold, and she turned Ye Jingtang's cheek to the other side:
"What are you looking at?"

"Heh~ I don't see anything... um... rub the one sitting on the right..."

"?"

Dongfang Liren was stunned, and quickly raised his hand to hug the fat-headed dragon:

"Seqian, did you do it on purpose? Why do you keep torturing me?"

Ye Jingtang slightly spread his hands, a little innocently:

"I really shake it casually, there are only four people, either on the left or on the right..."

"Then you drink!"

"I'm injured, I can't drink too much..."

"You... ah~"

Dongfang Liren still wanted to say a few words of righteousness, but the fat-headed dragon was pinched, his eyes were angry and annoyed, he stood up, and pushed the master to Ye Jingtang:
"Master, let's change positions."

Master Xuanji was pushed into the fire pit by his apprentice, naturally it didn't matter, he came to the front and continued to shake, but this time he got a good one-pull the neckline to let the person on the other side see.

Now facing Qinghe, Master Xuanji naturally had no worries, she gently hooked her fingers to pull open her collar, and bowed slightly:
"Hmmmm~"

After Fan Qinghe glanced at it, he found that the witch was wearing a flamboyant white silk hollow gown, and slightly puffed up his chest and said in disgust:

"It's just this little meat, what's so good about it, and it's still dressed in fancy clothes..."

"Keep going……"

Ye Jingtang sat between the three of them, watched the three of them tossing back and forth, and felt that this game was really fun, no wonder the ladies in the capital like to ask a few faces to sit together, if there is no match between men and women, the game is really useless mean.

This kind of nasty way of playing, men must take advantage of sitting in it, Ye Jingtang still enjoyed it at first.

But after playing for a while, he found that the game was quite fair. After a few rounds, he finally drew the lottery - stood up and twisted twice...

Ye Jingtang originally had a smile on his face, but his eyes froze when he picked up the wooden stick, and then picked up the flagon:
"I drink!"

Dongfang Liren was groped several times, so he naturally quit when he saw this, and held down the jug:
"You are injured, you can't drink too much, give me a twist!"

An old man in the Ye Jing Hall got up and scratched his head. This martial saint might not succeed, so he hid back and forth and drank the wine...
-
When Ye Jingtang was having fun in Dongming Mountain, the turmoil outside did not stop because of his departure.

As the empress of the Southern Dynasty arrived at Jingjie City, the border gates of the two dynasties entered a state of silence. The border troops and even the people were outside the gate. The businessmen traveling in the enemy country sensed that something was wrong and were afraid of being trapped in the enemy country during the war. They returned to the gate one after another. There are a few more people than usual.

Pingyi City is the southernmost city in Western Xinjiang, and there is a prairie fire outside the city. If the two countries go to war, this place will be the first place for King Liang to attack. For this reason, the security is far stricter than that of the Xihai Dufu. Tens of thousands of soldiers have been hoarded inside and outside the city. horse.

After the death of King Zuo Xian, although the son took over the throne on the same day and filled the vacancy of the head coach, the son of King Zuo Xian and King Zuo Xian are two different things, with junior qualifications and no prestige, it is difficult to suppress the generals and followers under his command. It looks like the army is well-organized, but the city is a bit chaotic.

For example, the head coach of Pingyuan City, because the son has never fought a war, can't believe the current military arrangements of the palace. Kind of out of touch.

Even the army is like this, and other aspects are naturally more chaotic.

As soon as King Zuo Xian died, Baixiao camp was left without a master. Because most of the masters were killed and injured in the battle of Xue Huhua, there were not many available people left. The new king was so busy that he had no time to deal with this group of people who were raised with money. The thugs made Bai Xiaoying become headless chickens, not knowing what to do next.

Jia Shengzi and others who were left on standby in Pingyi City were originally collecting information on the people who came and went, but now even if they collected information, no one from the Xihai Governor's Mansion came to pick it up, and the group of them was forgotten in Pingyi. In Yicheng.

At noon, in the yamen of the anti-theft room in Pingyi City.

Dozens of warriors from the Baixiaoying camp, because no one arranged where to go, all lay dead in the squad room.

Jia Shengzi is the counselor of Zuo Xianwang. In the past, in order to prevent the prince from being suspicious, he didn't have much contact with the prince; now that the prince is gone, according to the practice of one emperor and one courtier, he guessed that he should find another job. In the teahouse on the street, chatting with the military advisor of the guard general of Hepingyi City, to see if he can take his team and find a job in the general's mansion.

But in the courtyard behind the yamen, Cao Aning and the others had no worries.

Several hidden guards who came out have already started to pack their things, ready to follow Cao Aning back to Dawei to return to his life.

Cao Aning and Xu Tianying sat on both sides of the sea of ​​tea in the room, brewed Kungfu tea, and waited for Ye Dayan's recall order.

Xu Tianying followed all the way to today, and he really admired Cao Aning. When he helped pour tea, he even sighed:

"I didn't believe in the destiny before, but now it seems that I have to believe it. Say you are useful, but you haven't accomplished anything; say you are useless, and bring down King Wu, King Yan, and King Zuoxian in succession. Whoever uses you will fall." Blood mold..."

Cao Aning also felt that he was evil, but as a person with great ambitions, he still frowned and said:
"What are you talking about? King Wu was treated as a pawn by me, and King Yan was an accident. As for King Zuo Xian, I sat in Pingyi City and did nothing. How could he be blamed on me when he died? ..."

"So it's fate, normal people can't understand it, but it just happened. In other words, you have to be careful in the future, Mr. Ye may not dare to stay with you..."

Cao Aning waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about it, Ye Dayan is famous for his tough life, he can beat me almost, how can I beat him.

"Sigh~ Now that King Zuoxian has fallen, we can count ourselves as successful. With this achievement, I can return to Yun'an and reckon that I can get back the position I was in back then. In my lifetime, I might be able to take over Duke Cao's class..."

Xu Tianying still bears the name of the Eight Great Leaders, but he dare not go back and show his face. Hearing this, he also sighed:

"The sign of Jieyun Palace cannot be reversed. As an apprentice, I have paid off my master's debt after atoning for such a long time. I don't expect to be able to call my brothers back to support Jieyun Palace again. I am satisfied with my title..."

"This is not a big problem. Now that the Great Wei Jianghu has been swept away by Ye Dayan, and you return to Jieyun Palace, I don't think you will be at the bottom of the eight leaders..."

The two chatted like this, discussing future plans, but before they could come to a conclusion, the sound of horseshoes suddenly came from outside the yamen.

stomping on...

Xu Tianying's eyes moved, he got up and came to the door, but saw five men in brocade clothes dismounted from outside the yamen and came in, their badges were policemen from Yanjing.

Seeing this, Xu Tianying frowned, stepped forward and bowed his hands:
"Greetings, how many adults dare to ask who are..."

The leader of the five officials is a middle-aged man with a rather strict face. After scanning the courtyard for a few times, he took out the roster from his waist:

"My father-in-law has an order. Xu Tianying, Jia Shengzi, Cao Aning, Tang Yudan, Du Mao...will go to Yanjing with me to stand by from now on. The rest of the idlers, with the order of Baixiaoying, come to me to collect money and be dismissed on the spot... "

Xu Tianying was taken aback when he heard the words, and understood the meaning of the order, which was to take away the available people in the Baixiao camp, and give the rest of them some severance pay to fend for themselves.

Xu Tianying didn't expect that the Beiliang court still remembered their gang of thugs, so he immediately asked:
"Dare to ask your father-in-law?"

Before the middle-aged official could respond, Jia Shengzi hurried in from the outside, nodded and bowed to several people along the way, and then explained:

"Eunuch Ziliang, the head of Yandu's Twelve Attendants, and the celebrity around the Holy One, we are lucky. Thank you soon..."

Xu Tianying was a little shocked when he heard that he was recruited by the eagle dogs under Emperor Liang's command. As a hidden stake, how dare he run to Yanjing.

But Ye Dayan’s order to let them call it a day hadn’t come down yet, and now they ran back to Da Wei privately, so they definitely couldn’t do business. Seeing Jia Shengzi’s urging, they could only bow to thank them, and then asked:

"Shall I go to the palace as an errand in the future?"

The leading official, whose identity is similar to that of the little commander of the secret guard, is a serious minion of the emperor, and he is not very polite to these gangsters. Hearing this, he responded:
"Only eunuchs can work in the palace. You used to run errands for the nobles in the palace. It's not so easy to eat the imperial food. When you arrive in Yanjing, you should do odd jobs first. You are capable and sensible, so you can naturally be reused."

"Oh……"

"Let me see... you are Xu Tian, ​​right? You are good at martial arts, your master has assassinated the empress, and your background is clean and reliable. Maybe you can work in the National Teacher's Mansion. By the way, who is Cao Aning?"

Cao Aning was still a little confused, and hurried forward when he heard the words:

"It's down."

The chief official flipped through the brochure and said unexpectedly:
"You are not very capable, but you have done a lot of things. You have helped King Wu and King Yan to rebel, robbed the black government office, and assassinated the empress. Misuse.

"However, a few days ago, a father-in-law had an accident in Tianlang Lake, and Yandu Twelve lacked a servant, so we couldn't find a suitable one in a short time.

"You have a good background, and you are an eunuch. You can follow me to meet the next few father-in-laws in charge. If you can gain favor, you will be able to reach the sky in one step."

In fact, Cao Aning wanted to return to Dawei to be the junior manager, and he didn't want to take the risk of going deep into the tiger's den and running to Yanjing to die.

But such a good opportunity is in front of him. If he breaks into the Imperial City of Yanjing and accomplishes a great career, his future achievements may be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with King Ye Dayan, and his master will have to lift his shoes for him. Not even once.

For this reason, Cao Aning hesitated for a while, but still bowed and said:
"Thank you, sir, for your appreciation."

"Okay, let's pack up and go. Eunuch Yin is waiting outside the city. Eunuch Yin is the third head of the palace. Remember to be smart when you meet him. If it weren't for the fact that the prince is so loyal and fierce, how could the court care about your helpers?" Running errands, this opportunity is beyond the reach of ordinary Jianghu..."

"That's natural."
