Yi Song

Chapter 97 Lingguang Academy is full of experts
  Early the next morning, Liu Guozhang went straight to Lingguang Academy.

As soon as Lao Ding saw him, he ran over in surprise, pulled his sleeve and asked, "Erlang, are you out?"

"Out!"

"I heard that they became relatives of the emperor?"

"The news spread quickly."

"Haha, everything in Kaifeng is slow, but news spreads the fastest!" Old Ding said with a smile, "How about Erlang, becoming a relative of the emperor? How does it feel?"

"I didn't sleep well last night. I always felt like I was dreaming." Liu Guozhang replied with a wry smile.

Lao Ding looked at Liu Guozhang with a deep look, "It's normal, it's normal. If Erlang reacts like this, I feel closer to you."

"Ah, there is another saying?"

"I saw you leaping on horse and carrying spear, galloping invincibly in Yujin Garden. Although you lost fifty times, I saw that I, the Song Dynasty, had another brave general. He was decisive in killing, wise and brave, Really, God will descend to earth.

As scholars say, you can only observe from a distance, not get close to each other. Later, when Erlang was in prison and met with trouble, he suddenly became rich and powerful, experienced ups and downs, and felt panic-stricken, but it made my father-in-law feel that Erlang was indeed a living person. "

Liu Guozhang looked at Old Ding and said, "Old Ding, I never expected that you are not a mortal."

"Mortals and gods are all ants in this world. Go in, I heard someone said that the master of the hospital was tossing and turning all night last night."

"When I went in, I suddenly got out of trouble and became an official. I had to report to the hospital master. It was too late last night, so I didn't dare to come here rashly."

Old Ding winked and said, "I know, this is a Taoist temple for women, and it's very inconvenient for men. Look at me, at night, I become the master of the main gate courtyard, and I can't even step in from the front door."

Liu Guozhang laughed and walked in.

Along the way, the female champion and the Vermillion Bird Guard all greeted him with smiles on their faces, with strange expressions of surprise and joy.
  When they arrived in the backyard, Xu Xiniang ran out after hearing the news, "Erlang, are you out?"

"Out!"

Xu Xiniang circled around Liu Guozhang, her face full of surprise.

"What? Did you lose my arms and legs in the Western Prison?"

"How could it be?" Xu Xiniang suddenly smiled, and then her face burst into tears. She covered her face with her hands and let out a low sob. Tears flowed from her fingers.

Liu Guozhang wanted to step forward to comfort her, but he was embarrassed. I had to stand there motionless and watch silently.

Xu Xiniang quickly stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and looked up at Liu Guozhang with a complicated expression, a mixture of resentment and sadness.

"Go in, the master didn't sleep well last night."

"Where is the master?"

"In the backyard garden, I'll take Erlang in."

Following the familiar road to the moon gate of the garden, Xu Xiniang pointed far away, "The master of the courtyard is in the pavilion by the pond. Erlang, please go in by yourself."

From a distance, Murong Shisan was sitting on a bench in the pavilion dressed in women's clothing, with his arms spread out and resting on the guardrail, his back turned to this side, looking at the pond dreamily.

Magu stood outside the pavilion, staring at her.

Liu Guozhang lifted up his front shirt and walked in. As he got closer, Magu saw him and gave him a sharp look, then smiled again.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Murong Shisan turned his head.

She simply styled her hair into a small bun, with a few strands of black hair hanging down from each side of her temples. Her bare face looks like jade, and her face looks like fresh flowers. It is rare for her to wear women's clothing. She wears a scarlet robe on top, a light ocher white floral skirt on the bottom, and a silk scarf hanging casually on her shoulders.

His face looked a little tired, but revealed an indescribable laziness and casualness, as if it had changed from a sharp green-edged sword to a soft one wrapped around his fingers.

A gleam of joy flashed in Murong Shisan's eyes, like the gleaming glow at dawn, but it instantly dissipated in the lake.

"Erlang is here, sit down."

"it is good."

"You came quite early." Murong Shisan turned around and continued to lean on the railing, looking at the pond at his feet, where several koi carp were swimming happily.

"Have you had breakfast, Master?" Liu Guozhang walked over with a slight stoop and sat down next to him. “Want to treat me to breakfast?”

"is it okay?"

Murong Shisan smiled and said, "It's a good thing if someone invites you to dinner. I'll go to your new mansion after eating."

"Okay, I'm about to ask the owner to take a look at my new kennel."

"Just wait, I'll go change my clothes." Murong Shisan patted the bench, stood up, held up the hem of his skirt with both hands, and disappeared after a few steps.

Magu glanced at Liu Guozhang, nodded her finger, showed a ferocious but helpless expression, turned around and left.

Murong Shisan was wearing a blue flying fish suit - Liu Guozhang made a vermilion suit for her, and later she had two flying fish suits of different colors and similar styles made for her, and she wore them interchangeably. With his hands behind his back, he walked around Liu Guozhang's mansion and nodded with satisfaction.

"Yes, the place is quite big and everything is quite good. But this Xianyuan Garden is a bit deserted."

"After Zhang Xianggong was demoted, his descendants were also demoted out of the capital. This house was transferred twice and was deserted for three or four years. Especially this Xianyuan, the place is a bit big and I can't take care of it. It's overgrown with weeds and I don't know what's hidden inside. How many animals, snakes and insects are there.

I'm going to ask people to bulldoze this whole place and turn it into a school ground. Archery, horseback riding, exercise. "

"Well, good!" Murong Shisan nodded with satisfaction like a leader who came down for inspection.

"This Wuyuan is nice." She said while standing in a garden.

Liu Guozhang replied: "Yes, this place is small but very exquisite. It is said that it was built by famous architects from Suzhou and Hangzhou. Water buildings are alternated with mountains, bones and trees. The small is large and the artistic conception is profound. Especially this attic is the entire building. The garden and even the entire mansion have the best views.”

"What's the name of this building?"

"It used to be called Linshui Xuan, but after changing two owners, the name changed again and again, and there is no name anymore. How about the owner of the hospital give it a name?"

"My Township Pavilion."

Liu Guozhang thought for a while and asked hesitantly: "I wonder if it is good to note Lingnan. But he said, this place of peace is my hometown."

"Exactly."

"Then I also need to ask the president of the hospital to write the name of the pavilion. I'll have someone engrave it and hang it here."

Murong Shisan glanced at Liu Guozhang and said, "I helped you name it and write it for you, why don't you give me this attic."

Liu Guozhang was stunned, "What do you mean, the master of the hospital?"

"This garden is nice, this attic is nice. I will often come and play in your new kennel from now on. If I don't want to go back, I will live here. Why, Erlang is reluctant to let go?"

Murong Shisan clasped his hands behind his back, turned sideways, tilted his head, and looked at Liu Guozhang.

Liu Guozhang smiled and said, "Master, just take it."

"Okay! I declare that this Wuxiang Pavilion belongs to me, Murong Shisan." Murong Shisan stretched out his right hand, pointed at the "Wuxiang Pavilion" behind him, drew a circle, and announced loudly.

Magu was anxious, and just as she stepped forward to speak, Murong Shisan turned around and walked into the Wuxiang Pavilion.

It's been cleaned and tidy.

Murong Shisan climbed up the stairs to the third floor in one breath, walked through the hall and walked straight to the corridor.

"Well, this scenery is indeed amazing. Compared with my boring Lingguangyuan, this place is much more lively. I will come here often in the future."

"Welcome the master to come often."

Murong Shisan glanced at Liu Guozhang, returned to the house, sat down on the chair in the outer hall, and said to Magu: "Ma Gu, ask them to bring tea and water, and then help me take a look. Erlang and I have important matters to discuss. .”

Magu hesitated for a moment and responded: "Okay, Master, I'm on the second floor."

Murong Shisan pointed to the seat next to him and said to Liu Guozhang: "Sit down."

After sitting down, Liu Guozhang asked, "What do you want to discuss, Master?"

"I just want to ask, how did you kill Cai Silang the night before?"
