Yu Jun

When Jin Lu swung his knife and chopped it down, Wu Jin woke up from his sleep.

His eyes were wide open, his nose was so blocked that he couldn't breathe at all, he could only open his mouth wide, panting like a fish out of water.

This is the battlefield, life and death, no one will show mercy.

The shortness of breath gradually subsided, and at the same time, he suddenly understood why the emperor's anger was extinguished.

One life, one death.

The emperor has already made a plan. Only one of the Mo family brothers and sisters will be left. If Mo Lingfeng dies in battle, Mo Qianlan will be left behind. If Mo Lingfeng is alive, Mo Qianlan will be killed.

The secrets of the Mo family must be shared by the two brothers and sisters, and it is enough to keep one.

This is a kind of catharsis, but also a kind of control and deterrence.

After a long while, Wu Jin got up, took off the Taoist robe from the screen and put it on, squatted down and put on the heels, went to the yard, scooped out a ladle of cold water, washed her face with a handkerchief, and went to the study.

Lighting the oil lamp, he was about to write the word "Lingfeng" by a little yellow light, when he suddenly stopped his pen and listened quietly to the movement around him.

Not far away came the sound of barking dogs, the rustling of the big pagoda tree in front of the door, and the occasional wild cat's coquettish barking, all of which were ordinary sounds.

Wu Jin didn't know if those eyes in the dark were still staring at her, but she quietly retracted the word "风风" on the tip of the pen.

While writing on Bijia Mountain, he stood with his hands behind his back and paced back and forth in the room. After a quarter of an hour, he walked back to the table and sat down, suppressing all the thoughts in his heart, and wrote with a pen: "Death is suffering, and life is also suffering. bitter."

Seven words, neither dry nor fat, with excellent charm, it can't be seen that he has a heavy heart at all, but it seems that he expressed his feelings after worshiping Buddha in Luodeng Temple today.

Putting the paper aside, he spread the bamboo paper again, and said silently: "Dayou, a gentleman wants to curb evil and promote good, and he will die in obedience to the sky."

After carefully arranging this piece of bamboo paper, he washed his pen and got up, yawned, blew out the oil lamp, and went back to sleep in the house.

A moment later, there was a slight "click" sound from the tiles on the roof of the study, and then a slender man in black jumped down from the roof, opened the window and entered, walked straight to the table, bent over, and planned to borrow Under the light of the sky, write down what Wu Jin wrote.

The moonlight was not clear tonight, and the handwriting was not clear. The man in black had to pick it up and read it carefully. He pouted his buttocks and tried to write down the positions of the two pieces of paper. in place.

Then the man in black turned out of the window again, jumped up the roof, and disappeared.

The next day, Wu Jin still didn't go to court, dressed neatly at Maoshi, came to the study, and sat in the chair with a blank face for a long time.

He looked weak, unresponsive, and his hands and feet were weak, but his eyes had quickly scanned the desk.

The two pages of paper placed on the desk moved slightly as if blown by a breeze.

He picked up the paper he had written by hand, rolled it into a ball in his hand, threw it into the slag hopper, folded the seven characters, put it together with the reply letter to Wu Yi, put it in his arms, and went out to send the letter.

He first went to the wharf to buy a few fashionable snacks, then handed over the thin piece of paper to Shi Yuan's confidant, then took the snacks to the courier shop, and sent them to Wu Yi together with the snacks and a letter.

Shi Yuan's confidant hid the crude paper in his bosom, went with the boat to Jeju Wharf, and then rushed to Kuanzhou.

On the tenth day of July, at the home of Liu Boyu in Kuanzhou City.

Liu Boyu sat firmly in the study, squeezed a handful of banknotes with his left hand, licked his right index finger on his tongue, counted the banknotes, and then put them into the money box. Just after the money box was covered, he opened it again, intending to count again.

Su Mingquan stepped over the threshold and came in from the outside: "Master, these pepper seeds are sold at a sky-high price! The more chaos we have, the more money we will make! If you listen to me, sir, and ask Miss Mo for some advice, then we will Can't make money."

When Liu Boyu heard the word "Miss Mo", he felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart, without raising his head, he said: "She is not the God of Wealth, but the King of Hades, don't even provoke her little ghosts."

Su Mingquan took out a rolled bank note from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Boyu: "Are you sure you won't run away this month?"

"I'll kill you." Liu Boyu took the banknotes, unfolded them one by one, flattened them and put them in the money box.

The bank note was brand new, and the smell of ink stains on it was particularly fragrant. Liu Boyu lowered his head and sniffed it, feeling very happy.

Grabbing a handful of melon seeds, he peeled them one by one in the palm of his hand, listening to Su Mingquan spit out his crooked ideas.

Su Mingquan was beaming with joy: "Almost all the gold captives are outside the fort now, no matter which way we go, we will be unimpeded. If we go out at this time, not only can we earn money, but we can also explore several roads!"

Liu Boyu ate a handful of melon seeds: "What if you die?"

"My belongings are placed under the third brick in the second row under the bed..."

Liu Boyu interrupted him: "Give me all the flowers?"

Su Mingquan shook his head: "You burn it down for me."

Liu Boyu picked up the teacup, only to realize that he had already drank it all. At the same time, he sat in the study for too long and wanted to pee, so he got up and walked outside. When he passed by Su Mingquan, he patted Su Mingquan on the shoulder: "On the table There are hawthorn sticks, eat some, that thing won't burn."

Su Mingquan thought about it, and went to eat hawthorn sticks.

Liu Boyu blocked his mouth, so that his ears could be cleansed, humming a ditty and walked out, stepping down three stone steps, a servant suddenly rushed over from the corridor and said loudly: "Master, Mr. Cheng is here to make trouble, We can't stop it"

At the same time, there were bursts of shouts outside the courtyard, among which was Cheng Ting's loud voice: "Liu Boyu! You have the guts to sell rotten peppercorns, but you don't have the guts to see the young master? Get out, young master!"

Liu Boyu was in a rush to urinate, so he had to say loudly: "Third Lord, I'll come as soon as I go!"

Cheng Ting heard the sound and kicked open the courtyard door: "Go to your mother! Stand for the young master!"

Cheng Ting was similar to his father Cheng Taishan, they were both military generals dressed in literati skins, kicking the door leaf "Kang Dang" against the wall, and with a dozen followers behind them, swarmed into the yard.

As soon as Liu Boyu stepped out with one foot, seeing Cheng Ting approaching aggressively, his heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and shouted: "Xiao Su!"

Su Mingquan rushed to Liu Boyu with his cheeks puffed up, holding the sharp knife at his waist with one hand, and stared at Cheng Ting who was approaching Liu Boyu.

Cheng Ting, a big bird with drooping wings all the year round, became furious at this moment, showed his sharp claws, and grabbed Liu Boyu fiercely.

Liu Boyu squeezed out a smiling face: "Master Cheng, the pepper seeds are bad, I will pay you."

He could see that Cheng Ting's intention for coming here was definitely not for Pepper, Pepper was just an excuse to break in.

Cheng Ting didn't say a word, just walked into the study, Liu Boyu reached out to stop him: "Master Cheng, this is the study, it's inconvenient to entertain distinguished guests, I'll take you to the front."

He shouted at the servants outside: "Come here! Take Third Master Cheng to the front yard!"

After shouting deafeningly, he put a polite smirk on his round face: "Master, please."

The servant who was still at a loss just now stepped forward immediately after receiving Liu Boyu's order, surrounded Cheng Ting, and at the same time put his hands on his waist.

However, the third master is a bloody man, and he is not afraid of such little troubles. The entourage brought by the bloody man also has a few tough bones, and he hides the knife secretly, so he is not afraid of doing it at all.
