A Collection of Old Sayings by Fourth Sister You

Chapter 144 Lin Yuan (7)
When she finishes her revenge, she must find a way to rob him back to her cave.

Shenheyuan has a high terrain, and you can clearly see the scene in the distance.The national teacher's Yuhuacong is a famous horse, and it is easy to travel thousands of miles a day.Seeing that vigorous posture getting farther and farther away, several Lingtai men on the palace gate chased him out, without saying anything, they chased after him with whips.

The Taishang Shrine is deserted, but the city is full of excitement.Once the curfew was lifted, people came back to life, and before it was dark, a night market had already been set up outside.In fact, the market during the day is not interesting, it is completely for the needs of life, but it is different at night.The long streets are lit with lanterns, and people walk in the shadow of the candles, bathed in the soft light, and their mood will become extraordinarily charming.

The night market is a place to create chance encounters and love. For people like Zhuanzhuan, there is nothing more wonderful than this.Hearing that Chunguan was going to travel with him, the burning excitement lasted the whole afternoon.

Tan Nu and Lian Deng sat side by side on the edge of the couch, smiling as she watched her busy around, picking out skirts, jewelry, and frantically doing her makeup in front of the mirror.She attaches great importance to this opportunity, and there is nothing wrong with showing the most beautiful side to the person she likes.Tan Nu said: "Look at the right time tonight, let's go away with excuses, and let Zhuan Zhuan and Chun Guan be alone."

Lian Deng was eating golden soufflé, and she turned her head puzzled when she heard her say that, "Didn't you object to Zhuan Zhuan being with Chun Guan?"

Tan Nu smiled a little, "I'm just fighting her with my mouth, and of course I hope she is happy in my heart. No matter what, a gentleman has the beauty of an adult, and she wants to be with Chunguan, this is her wish."

Lian Deng nodded and said yes, broke off a piece of shortbread, and stuffed it into Tan Nu's mouth.

Zhuan Zhuan is the only one among the three who knows how to dress up, and after tidying herself up, she has to worry about them.They usually wear Hu clothes, which are more than heroic but not feminine. Taking advantage of the festival, let alone dress up, at least make yourself look like a girl!

She picked out a moon blue light embroidered hidden flower skirt for Tan Nu, covered her half-arms with Yang Fei-colored silk gauze, the skirt was short and long, and Tan Nu, who was wielding knives and guns, suddenly changed into a different person, like a Xiaojiabiyu.

The lotus lamp surrounded her and smacked her lips, "Ah, whose family's little lady is this, she looks so beautiful!"

Tan Nu was a little embarrassed, she was used to taking big steps, and it felt awkward to wear a skirt.Zhuanzhuan pulled her to the mirror, tied up her hair and pasted plum flowers on it. The person in the mirror smiled sweetly, because she was seriously ill, so she had a weak beauty.

After seeing it, Lian Deng was eager to try it, and said, "It's my turn, and I want to be as good-looking as Tan Nu."

Turning around, pouted buttocks, rummaged in the box, and found a half arm with red flowers and yellow stems, and a long garnet red dress.The mandarin duck embroidered belt was tied on the chest, and the straight long skirt hung down, making her breasts slightly protruding, with a faint charm of green plums.

The lotus lantern made a sound, and foolishly let them see, "It's growing a little bit."

Zhuan Zhuan and Tan Nu laughed uncontrollably, nodded and said yes, "You are still young, don't worry, you will grow bigger and bigger, just like Xie Sanniang."

Lian Deng thought of Xie Sanniang's snow-white breasts, which were big and fat, and didn't think they looked good.It's as good as a maiden, with a moderate size and subtle beauty.

She squeezed to the mirror to take a look, looking back and forth, satisfied.Zhuanzhuan tied a double spiral bun for her, and inserted the silver hairpin upside down.Take another pair of dimples, not as eye-catching as seen in the market, small, very delicate, pasted on the socket of the smile, very playful and lovely.

Sometimes they were also surprised, who would have thought that such a girl would be the instigator of the two murders of officials in Chang'an City!She stood under the window, with pure eyes and a graceful figure, no matter how she looked, she looked like a little girl who didn't know much about the world.So it's not her fault that Bai Bi is slightly flawed, it's the injustice of this world.

The three girls are well dressed, and they feel happy when they look at each other.After the makeover, life seems to be different, there is no sad past, they are just the daughters of an ordinary small family, traveling together at night.

When Fang Zhou came to see their attire, he was immediately surprised.The few times I met, she was dressed in a somewhat rough and bold manner, but now she has transformed into a slender beauty. Sure enough, everyone depends on clothes.

"Oh, that's great, I don't recognize you anymore." He stroked his hands, "Three girls are swimming with me, it really makes my face proud."

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the Yuntou Temple was still relatively quiet, and there was a vague sound of shengxiao and drum music outside the wall, and Chang'an glowed with a coquettish and brand-new vitality in the night.

They were about to go out, and wanted to tell Fuju, who knew that the priest had already left.The place where she plays is different from them, and she specializes in socializing with literati.Fuju is a well-known talented woman in Chang'an, just like Yu Xuanji back then.Originally, they planned to invite them warmly, but since they were not here, they let it go.So I asked the little Taoist nun to leave the door, and went to the market hand in hand.

Because of the agreement between Lian Deng and Tan Nu, the two of them moved a little behind and let Zhuan Zhuan walk side by side with Fang Zhou.Zhuanzhuan's youth is so prosperous and enthusiastic that it can almost melt people, and the boat falls into her hands, and she can't get out for a while.

Tan Nu's body is not recovering well, although he will not faint anytime and anywhere, but his physical strength is always short, and he can no longer swing the horizontal knife.Lian Deng helped her linger in front of a jewelry stall, saw a pair of velvet butterflies exquisite and interesting, took them off and put one in her hair.The price of things in the small shop is very low, only ten yuan for two.Lian Deng untied her purse to count the money, and threw a string of Kaiyuan Tongbao beside her, which was picked up by the stall owner.Lian Deng looked back, and the people behind him took off their military uniforms and put on a round-neck gown. There was no hostility emanating from the armor, and their eyebrows and eyes became peaceful.I think it was the first time I saw Tan Nu dressed up in women's clothing, there was a subtle but amazing light in his eyes.

Tan Nu and Lian Deng looked at each other, only to hear Xiao Chao smiled and said: "It's such a coincidence, we met here."

Tan Nu was a little embarrassed, cupped his hands and said: "The general doesn't have to pay for us, we brought our own purse."

Xiao Chaodu didn't take it to heart, "The gadgets are worthless, so pay if you pay for it." He looked at her face carefully, "Your complexion is still bad, it seems that the previous medicine didn't work. If you are free, I will take you to my Shishu. He is the imperial concubine of the Shangyao Bureau. He used to treat diseases for the Holy Majesty. Later, he became old and retired and still lives in Chang'an City."

Lian Deng has always been worried about her body, and now as long as there is hope, she refuses to miss it, so she answered for Tan Nu first, "One hundred is good, thank you, General Xiao, for your trouble." Holding Tan Nu's shoulder, he said, "The general is with us. I've dealt with him several times, so I'm an acquaintance. Besides, it's a good intention, so go with him!"

In fact, when a person is interested in another person, bystanders can see it.Xiao Chaodu used to call himself "someone", but now you and I match each other, probably because he intends to shorten the distance.Lian Deng is the most knowledgeable and interesting, Zhuan Zhuan is with Fang Zhou, and then contributes to Tan Nu and Xiao Chaodu, she is full of joy in the success of media protection.Let them go, each with his own company, that's fine.

Tan Nu really followed Xiao Chaodu to seek medical treatment, Lian Deng stood in the crowd and waved to her, watching her go away, only to realize that he was the only one left.She arched her shoulders a little lonely, looking around, everyone's face was full of the same happiness.She smiled and walked through the crowd with her arms swinging. She watched the lanterns for a while, and then watched the songs for a while, knowing that she couldn't meet them, so she only met in the back view.

She withdrew from the crowd, intending to find a wine shop to have a drink or two, when she turned around she saw a young young gentleman standing in the bright lights, dressed straight in bamboo leaf green and wearing a purple gold crown on his head.

She stood with her neck on one side, and confronted him.Don't think she doesn't know, I've followed her for several streets, what's the origin and who?What is the intention?
She gave a hello, "Young man, do you have something to say to me?"

The man didn't answer, and turned his face away with a little disdain. This kind of arrogance reminded her of Jiu Se.

Lian Deng frowned suspiciously, and suddenly became alert. Could it be that what he did before caused Dali Temple to suspect it?This person's clothes and attire did not look like that of a Yacha, and his arrogant eyes and movements did not seem to be someone who could be inferior to others. Could it be that the night market is really a breeding ground for romantic encounters, as Zhuan Zhuan said?
She is a little sad, even if she meets her, there is no hope, she has already been booked in this life, and the national teacher will not give her an antidote, so she dare not take the risk of having a gut-piercing stomach to play with other gentlemen.

She shook her hand at him, "Stop following me, have you seen my fist?" She lowered her voice and warned, "It's very hard!"

She turned around and walked towards an open area, walking very gracefully.He folded his chest and watched, this kind of character of not turning corners is a bit interesting, he is cautious in front of him, but he is so arrogant outside.

But maybe it's because of the girl's shyness. Although the way she was eager to get rid of was a bit rough, in fact, it is understandable when you think about it.At least she wasn't dazzled by the good-looking face. In this regard, the national teacher felt that her performance was quite good.

She said that he was not allowed to follow, and of course he couldn't be at her mercy.A joke, the road leads to the sky, each side walks, the mud she stepped on can't be touched by others?

The national teacher followed behind her with his hands behind his back, looking at the sky, the stars were dim, and even the moon had disappeared.There is a small wine shop not far away, and a movable shed is built, with lanterns hanging from the eaves, illuminating the empty tables and chairs in the shed.Seeing where she planned to go, the tourists on New Year's Eve were usually full of wine and food, and only those without a house like her would have an empty stomach.

Sure enough, she went in, raised her voice to call the wine doctor, threw down a few five baht coins, and ordered a handful of dried fish and a dime of wine.Women from the Central Plains rarely patronize wine shops alone. Unlike the women in the boudoir, those who grew up in the Western Regions have a bold temperament and are not so particular.Da Ma Jin Dao sat on the bench, even though the tavern was empty, he seemed out of place.

Dr. Jiu shrank his neck and brought up what she wanted, and said with a smile, "My lady, why are you traveling alone today?"

"There are two companions, but they got separated, I'll rest here first." Lian Deng responded, took out an apricot from her sleeve and took a bite, gasping for air with sourness.There is a way of eating in the Central Plains, dipping salt in things that are too sour, it is said that it can reduce the sour taste.So I asked the doctor for a small amount, dipped it on the table carefully, and tried it again. It was sour and salty and hard to eat.

She has not been in Chang'an for a long time, and her conversation still has the taste of the desert.Dr. Jiu realized that he was idle anyway, so he stood aside and struck up a conversation, "Little lady is from the Western Regions, right? The accent is not from Chang'an."

Lian Deng recalled that Luo Xia Yin called fish yo, no matter how central the dress was, people would still recognize her when she opened her mouth.

She smiled, "Yes, I came to Chang'an to join relatives." As she said, she grinned and threw Xingzi out.

Xingzi Gululu rolled to the door of the shed, she glanced inadvertently, and saw that the person who had followed her all the way had also arrived in front of the restaurant, went in and chose a corner seat, and sat down gracefully.

He was not far from her, just two or three wine tables away.He followed him like a shadow, and Lian Deng was on guard. He thought he had already left, but he didn't expect to follow here.It seems that there is something wrong with this man. If this continues, she will have to do something to him.

Thinking in her mind, she took a piece of dried fish and put it in her mouth, watching him glance at her table and calling for the same thing.

Pampered people can't eat this kind of folk snacks. The national teacher doesn't drink alcohol, and just pours a glass to smell it.Maybe because the wine was strong, I felt like I was going to get drunk after smelling it too much, so I pushed the wine cup away.Looking at the dried fish on the plate again, he flicked it with his fingers, with a disgusted expression on his face.

Lian Deng couldn't stand it anymore, Yaoyao pointed at him, "Eat it, it's delicious."

He laid his arms across the edge of the table in a haughty manner.He raised his eyes to look at her, his eyes were as deep as the sea.Lian Deng was slightly surprised, thinking that he might have forgotten something, this person should have seen it before, but he just couldn't remember it for a while.

She didn't feel safe, and if they confronted each other, it might not be an easy one to deal with.It's useless to stay any longer, it's just a pity for the dime wine.Reluctant to waste it, she picked it up and took two gulps, then got up without making a sound, and quickly left the tavern.

The national teacher threw away the money for the drink and followed her out. In a blink of an eye, she didn't know where she went, and she disappeared everywhere.When a person senses danger, he must want to rush back to the place where he stayed!He shook the corner of his robe, turned around, and walked slowly towards Yuntou Temple.

In fact, the lotus lantern didn't go far, she leaned against the corner of the room, watching him look around, watching him walking towards here, she was even more convinced that this person was not simple.If it is someone from Dali Temple, there is no need to go around in circles like this, no matter who he is, first restrain him before talking.

She was ready to go in the dark, she pulled out the silk ribbon in her sleeves, and wrapped the two ends tightly around her hands.He approached little by little, and when she was approaching, she jumped up. The original idea was to strangle him and torture him, but he didn't expect to meet a master. His reaction was too fast, and he twisted her hands , Her two arms were actually bound by her own silk ribbons.

Lian Deng became anxious, "Who are you?"

He snorted, "The vision is dull and the agility is not enough. This kind of skill has succeeded twice. It can be seen that it was a mistake."

She couldn't recognize his face, but she recognized the voice, and she immediately relaxed, "Oh, national teacher, why are you doing this!"

He pushed her away with such force that she staggered a few steps.The national teacher didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and the lotus lantern didn't have the cognition that women need to be cared for. He pushed it away and still leaned forward, looked at his face and murmured: "I really can't see it at all. The national teacher said before that there will be flaws. Where is the flaw?"

She was extremely curious, and stretched out a finger to touch it, but he slapped it away, "You still want to sneak attack on me, how brave you are!"

Lian Deng twisted the corner of her clothes and said sullenly: "I didn't do it on purpose, you have been following me all this time, I'm afraid it's a spy sent somewhere. If I knew it was the national teacher, I wouldn't have dared to borrow my courage." He quickly changed the topic, "Is the national teacher also coming to the city to celebrate New Year's Eve? I didn't expect to meet here, what a coincidence."

He hummed majestically, "I walked here, and I met you. Chang'an is really too small." He glanced at the brightly lit place, "Isn't Chunguan with you?"

Lian Deng responded, "He got along well with Zhuan Zhuan, let them talk, but I stepped aside on purpose."

There was a vague smile on the young man's face, "It's good for you, you have helped others, and you would rather be alone."

She was not interested in this topic, and fixed her eyes on him tightly, "...you can't see anything unreal when you smile, the national teacher's disguise technique is really amazing." She smiled shyly, " It's strange, the national teacher has changed his face, and it seems that he is much easier to get close to."

He frowned, and said coldly: "Can a skin change your appearance? I ask you, what is the difference between before and after disguise?"

Lian Deng thought about it carefully, "This mask is made after a young man, it looks like he is only seventeen or eighteen years old."

The national teacher glanced at her, very dissatisfied, "I said that the essence of disguise lies in the contrast..." Suddenly came back to his senses, "What do you mean?"

Lian Deng's heart skipped a beat, and somehow touched the sensitive and slender nerves of the national teacher, and quickly changed his words and said no, "I mean this mask looks very young, but there is nothing inappropriate on the national teacher's face, I just feel that this little gentleman is stable and calm, which is rare."

Only now did his expression soften a little, he nodded and said: "You can only do this for your appearance, no matter how good it is, it's unreal."

Lian Deng hurriedly said, "After all, how many national teachers can there be in this world!"

The flattery is right, and the attitude of the national teacher has improved a lot.The light from the lantern beside the road shone gently on his face, his brows were calm, and he said in a brisk tone: "The mask was made the day after you left, how about it, do you want to see it?"

Lian Deng is very happy, she is a person with relatively poor association ability, if you describe it to her in general, she may be confused, just nod blankly, and have no requirements for everything.But if there is an intuitive effect in front of her, such as the appearance of Tan Nu wearing a short jacket, the face of the national teacher after changing his appearance, whatever she is interested in, she is eager to try it immediately, and her heart is full of enthusiasm.

"Yes, yes..." She rubbed her hands and said, "Where is it, did the national teacher bring it?"

He patted his sleeves, then looked around, "But this is not a good place."

Lian Deng said sincerely: "The national teacher will go to Yuntou Temple with me, Zhuan Zhuan and Tan Nu won't come back for a while, no one will disturb the national teacher."

Hearing this, he turned his gaze away, and glanced at her, "There is no habit of women in the Central Plains to invite men into the boudoir, only the closest people can share the same room."

But she was very frank, "It doesn't matter, the national teacher is an elder, and the Central Plains has no habit of avoiding elders."

This sentence made the corner of the teacher's lips twitch. In her heart, he was much older than Wang Lang, not from the generation of the parents, but probably from the generation of the ancestors!
He made no further objections, but he was unhappy.Slowly followed her to Yuntouguan, she was walking in front, looking back at him from time to time, as if afraid that he would get lost.He turned his face away from her, and didn't like her old-fashioned thoughtfulness.She probably noticed it, and asked cautiously: "Master, are you unhappy?"

He snorted, "Is there anything to be happy about?"

He was always like that, always seemed critical.It was nice when we first met, at least very gentle and tolerant, but it became more and more wrong later on, as if her existence just annoyed him, and he had to put on a bad face all the time to show how dissatisfied he was with her.

Lian Deng originally has a strong self-esteem, and can immediately respond to any unkindness from others, but her self-esteem in front of the national teacher is like foam in the water, and it disappears when poked.She has cultivated an invulnerable heart, because it's no big deal if the elders blame her a few words, the national teacher doesn't like her, it must be because she didn't do well enough.So you have to pay more attention to every step and try to make him feel good.

Yuntouguan is in the corner, gradually moving away from the night market, and the road is not so bright.She led him along the way they had come. A lantern had been inserted by the side of the road before, just to prevent him from being unable to see the way on the return journey.But when I got back there, the lantern was still there, but the wax had burned out.

She looked down, and said sadly: "I forgot to blow it out..." Turning around, she handed it to him, "Master, let's brighten it up!"

He glanced sideways, "It's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice, and there are no candles, how can it be bright?"

She was planning to bring up the Star Gathering Pond that night, and the lantern would light up when he waved his sleeve, but now the spell doesn't work... Think about it and let it go, so as not to make him angry again.In fact, Lian Deng itself doesn't matter, even if she can't see the way clearly, she can go back in the dark.Isn't this worrying that the national teacher has no foundation at his feet!She tucked up her sleeves and sighed, she was feeling sad when someone approached her with a lantern, went to her side and stuffed it into her hand, and walked away.

She gasped and looked back, and the man disappeared in the blink of an eye.Looking back at his attire, he seems to be someone from Taishang Shrine.She looked at the national teacher in astonishment, "Who is that official?"

The national teacher responded casually to Xia Guan, and looked at her after speaking. She raised the lantern very low, and the light shone from the circle. Her face was reflected like a ghost, and her red lips slowly raised up. good."

He took a breath, "If you don't want me to treat you like a monster, hurry up and lead the way."

Lian Deng was busy, turned around and led the way obediently, and didn't care if he stumbled, as long as he illuminated his feet for the national teacher.

But she didn't lead him to the main entrance, and turned to a secluded wall to stop, and made a awkward bow, "There is a little Taoist nun guarding the mountain gate. It's so late, I'm afraid I will cause criticism when I bring a gentleman back. The Taoist temple It's a quiet place, so we have to avoid it, so..." She looked at the courtyard wall, "Let's jump over the wall!" Seeing that he was about to get angry, she bowed to him one step ahead, "I have wronged the national teacher, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Instead of being interrogated, it's better to avoid their sight. I also want to save trouble, and I definitely don't mean to offend the national teacher."

He thought about it, too, a gentleman changes with the times, anyway, he changes his appearance, so let's jump!So he gave her a wink, "You go up first, and I will respond behind."

Lian Deng didn't feel that there was anything wrong, nodded and bowed in agreement, handed the lantern to him respectfully, nodded his feet, and jumped onto the wall.Looking around, the lamps were lit in several quiet rooms, and no one was moving around, presumably those little Taoist nuns also sneaked out while the Lord was away.She jumped down, rolled the horn in her hand and shouted loudly, "Okay, come here!" There was only the sound of the wind, but there was no movement of the national teacher.

She was a little puzzled, did she leave without saying goodbye?After waiting for a while and planning to jump up to see what happened, he stretched his figure and came gracefully. His Hongya demeanor is simply amazing. Even if he is doing something not so proper, he is still radiant and cannot be underestimated.

Like a bodhisattva, the lotus lamp greeted him with a smile of incomparable admiration.It was a bit embarrassing when I took him into the bedroom. What a quiet place Linlang Realm was at the beginning, compared with the stables of the Jingu Temple here.

Sure enough, he was very picky, he didn't even want to sit down after he came in, he just stood in the center of the earth with his sleeves folded and watched.Lian Deng smiled awkwardly, "This place is too simple, please forgive me, the national teacher." While talking, he took out the lotus-colored handkerchief, spread it on the mat, and gestured, "The national teacher sit down and run outside. After a long time, I must be exhausted. Let’s take a rest, I will make tea soup for the national teacher.”

This time he didn't refuse, Lianpao sat down and watched her burn water and brush the tea set, busy running around.

In fact, he is not thirsty, but he is used to others serving him, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.Looking around the interior, the furnishings are simple and old, which is different from the girl's boudoir he imagined.This place is full of Taoist simplicity, with a table, a chair and a cabinet, and there is almost no fourth thing to find.He frowned, "Why do you have to live here? I said that the Supreme Shrine can take you in. Even if you go back, I won't dislike you. After all, you have to be loyal to this seat, and this seat will never Embarrass your own people."

Lian Deng gave a pause when he heard it, and his heart was already boiling like boiling water.Swallowing that pill was not voluntary, she had no choice.Up to now, she still feels that the punishment she has suffered is not equal to what she has enjoyed. Since she has lost her whole life, at least she will lose something. As a result, in addition to his enchanting back, what she remembers is that horribly white face.

But she didn't dare to resist. She squatted down in front of the stove pitifully and glanced at him, then lowered her head and whispered, "Shenheyuan is tens of miles away from Chang'an, so it's inconvenient. I want revenge, so I can't run back and forth every day."

He pursed his lips and raised his chin slightly, "Then what about the revenge? I have to go back to the shrine!"

She said no, "Since my wish is fulfilled, I should go back to the original place. I have been away from Dunhuang for several months, and I miss my life in the desert."

He snorted inexplicably, "What's so good about the desert? Haven't you eaten enough sand? The disciples taught by Wang Lang are also like him. At first they were a little demonic, and then they gradually went crazy. After taking my medicine, you swear Those who want to be loyal to this seat are not in front of them, so where does the word "loyalty" come from?"

She spread her hands and said: "Then what should I do? The family always has to go back! Isn't that the drug that prevents marriage, and the national teacher also said that there is no distance limit. I can go back to Dunhuang or go alone. what?"

How can it be the same!He looked like you were not enlightened, "Do you think you peeked at me, as long as you don't get married for the rest of your life? You want to be by my side and be at my beck and call!"

Lian Deng secretly slandered, a man of his age was paranoid and selfish, and would ruin someone else's life for such a small festival, yet he could still be so righteous when he said it!She turned her face away and moved her lips secretly a few times, and then came up with a good idea, "How about this, the national teacher will go to Dunhuang with me, I will clean up a beautiful cave for the national teacher, and accompany the national teacher to watch the sunrise every day, okay?"

The national teacher looked a little confused, and a picture floated in front of his eyes. In the endless pile of yellow sand, two unkempt people were sitting facing the sun.One said it was a big sun, the other said yes yes yes...

He shuddered, "I have a great responsibility on my shoulders, how can I go to Dunhuang to live in a cave with you? Besides, you can watch the sunrise in the Taishang Shrine, climb up the palace wall, and have a panoramic view of all the scenery of Wuqu in the south of the city. Why? To go to the desert to endure the wind and the sun?"

"But don't you feel bored staying in one place for hundreds of years? I'm doing it for your own good. Enjoying the glory, I can also afford to be poor." Seeing his objection, Lian Deng muttered a few words to herself.She knew it was her imagination, but somehow the idea of ​​taking him back to Dunhuang was deeply planted in her mind, and she couldn't shake it off.

The national teacher didn't appreciate her kindness, and he spoke forcefully of grievances, "Now you owe me, not me. Have you ever seen a debtor as reckless as you?"

Lian Deng blinked and said: "If the creditor wants to collect the debt, don't they all chase after the debtor?"

Now the national teacher can't answer, it's just that people's hearts are not old now, so it seems illegal to pay back the debt.After thinking about it, I came up with a truth, "That's because the creditor's power is not enough. If you change this seat, who would dare to owe this seat half a point?"

Lian Deng fell silent in embarrassment, this sentence hit the point, it was irrefutable.

The water in the catkin boiled, making a gurgling and tumbling sound.She crushed the tea cake and threw it in, added some salt, and stirred it with a bamboo tong to make a thick green color.In fact, it is very simple to quench thirst in the desert. The water hoisted in the well is very satisfying to drink raw.Dunhuang is hot and has many miscellaneous affairs. Except for those high-ranking officials, no one has time to study the tea ceremony.She still learned this skill from Fuju, the first bowl of tea after boiling tastes the best, she walked on her knees, and held it in front of the national teacher.

The national teacher's two white and slender fingers like water onions pinched the bowl, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, his movements were very elegant.She held her breath and watched him take a sip, although she frowned slightly, fortunately she didn't say anything.The national teacher is proud and expensive and used to drinking famous products, so he must not be interested in their ordinary sencha.Regardless of whether it is good or bad, Lian Deng feels that after the etiquette is thoughtful, the next step is to talk about disguise.

"Wait for the national teacher slowly." She smiled, "The previous national teacher said that the mask has been made, where is it, let me see."

The national teacher reached into his sleeve pocket, took out the rolled mask and threw it over.The lotus lamp caught it, and carefully opened it to look at it. After looking for a long time, I found that it was a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, and said with a smile: "I just want to go to Beili these days, and having a mask will help me a lot." As he said, he lowered his face Buckle your head to your face.

She is so clumsy that she can't even put lip balm on her face, let alone wear a mask.When she raised her head, her facial features were all shifted, and the national teacher almost choked when she saw it, so she had to move the bronze mirror to the mat, and sat behind her to demonstrate to her.

"Gestures should be gentle and stick to the texture of the skin slowly. Just like Yin and Yang, they have their own rules and rules, which are irreversible. You have to follow the trend..."

In the bronze mirror, there were two people rubbing their ears together, his face was almost close to her hair, and the breath of his words hit her ears.Lian Deng suddenly felt shy, and her heart jumped up.Probably because she was too close, it made her feel insecure.She licked her lips and became so angry that she didn't dare to breathe.But he didn't notice, and wrapped his arms around her, wrapping her around his chest.The cold fingers slid across the corners of her lips and eye sockets, with very gentle force, like the waves of Crescent Moon Spring, rising up bit by bit until it reached the bottom.

Lian Deng watched an unfamiliar face gradually take shape under his hands. It was a face with barbarian features, mature and coquettish.Lian Deng watched with fixed eyes, her heart gradually calmed down.Every face has its own life. After changing her face, she is no longer her, as if she has put on a hard armor, she can temporarily get rid of the shackles, and she can manage another life wholeheartedly.

Two faces without flesh and blood but equally flawless, put together harmoniously and terrifyingly.Lian Deng looked at him from the mirror, and he seemed to be appreciating it too, very satisfied with his masterpiece.In order to hide the flaws as realistically as possible, the interface is made more concealed and extends to the place covered by clothes.

The lotus lantern froze, and he seemed to realize it, and looked at her in the bronze mirror.

"National teacher..." she murmured, "I think we're already even."

It is the last thing to admit easily, once it is admitted, all the previous agreements will automatically become invalid, and from now on Baililiandeng will be free again.The National Teacher has not enjoyed enough of the happiness derived from inequality, so it will be over as soon as it is said, how can it be so easy!
He tried to explain her, "It's very common to have some physical contact when changing clothes. Is it worth making such a fuss? A person can't just focus on the small area in front of his feet, but try to take a long-term view. Just like Wang Lang has been painting in caves for many years, in order to complete I don't care about wasting my youth if I wish... There is a kind of spirit called devotion, since you worship under him, you should be very touched by these two words."

He was really eloquent, he squeezed her, and firmly convinced her that this was a necessary process to realize her ideal.It's true that she begged him to change his face, but he can't be touched casually like this!Lian Deng would not be angry because of this, she just thought that she could use this opportunity to re-discuss with him.

"Girls in the Central Plains should attach great importance to this aspect. Although I didn't grow up in the pass, I know that there is a big difference between touching and looking at it." She stared at the person in the mirror carefully, and slowly smiled, "I Look at this, the two things cancel each other out, what does the national teacher think?"

The national teacher carefully considered it, "If I think it's worth it, I don't need you to say it, I will consider it myself. But now your bet is too small, how can it compare with the humiliation I suffered?"

Did he imply that he thought she didn't have enough capital and laughed at her for being overconfident?The face under the mask suddenly turned red, it was strange that he was unreasonable, why did Lian Deng himself feel embarrassed after making unreasonable demands?She looked at her chest, it was indeed not big enough, and it was a bit funny to say that it was offset.But she is a girl after all, so she can't be treated lightly by him like this for nothing!

"I think we can discuss it again." Her voice became very weak, and the two people in the mirror kept maintaining an ambiguous posture, as if they couldn't even open their mouths to bargain.The lotus lamp gave way slightly, "The national teacher will give me half of the antidote, and I will save up the other half and return it slowly."

He lowered his eyes, covered his long eyelashes, and said in a regretful tone, "It's not poison, where is the antidote! Swallow it for a lifetime, and it's too late to save it."

Lian Deng is desperate, so no matter how much effort is made, it will be in vain to touch it. If he refuses to give in, she will never be able to touch it back!She collapsed and was extremely sad. The national teacher supported her shoulders and lifted her up. His fingers continued to walk around the corners of the mask, and he comforted her in a semi-seductive tone, "I didn't have anything just now!" Feel it, touch it and not touch it. So you don’t have to be shy, I eat more salt than you eat rice... Didn’t you also say that there is nothing to avoid with the elders, just forget about it when it’s over Alright! But I can make a little concession, for example, next time you encounter a difficult hurdle, I can give you a little help, what do you think?"

What to do, talk is better than nothing.Lian Deng said desolately: "The other request is also agreed to by the national teacher. I want to go back to Dunhuang after finishing the matter."

He turned cold, "You are good in everything, but you have a bad habit of pushing your limits."

She couldn't figure it out, so she turned around and sat face to face with him, and said very sincerely: "If I betray the national teacher, I will have my stomach pierced. Master a hundred times, and paint the statue of the national teacher on the mural. The national teacher and disciples are all over the world, and it’s okay if I’m missing one, just let me go back!”

He pursed his lips, that mask was fresh, but he could still see her face through her new skin.

"I want to find someone for company." He said slowly, "Although Nine Colors is smarter than you, it is a deer and can't talk. When I'm lonely, I hope someone can chat with me. This person doesn't have to be too shrewd , as long as you can understand the words." Then nodded firmly, "You are just right."

Isn't this just calling her stupid in disguise? It turns out that her intelligence has been reduced to the same level as Jiu Se.She frowned, "I still think the previous proposal is good. I will take you back to Dunhuang, so I can listen to what you have to say, and I don't have to leave my hometown."

He was a little impatient with this topic, so he slapped her ear hard, "There is no need to say too much about this matter for now, your revenge has not yet been completed, and you will discuss it with me after you have resolved the last trouble."

Lian Deng felt hopeful when he heard this, and suddenly imagined that it would be good to marry the national teacher back home.Such a beautiful person doesn't have to do anything every day, just sit there and let her watch.She can go out to earn money to support her family, and the national teacher is responsible for her beauty. Such a life is worth looking forward to.

She was still thinking about it, she couldn't hide the matter in her heart, it was all written on her face.The national teacher unconsciously closed the skirt of his clothes, seeing her smiling happily and suspicious of fraud, he said in a sullen voice, "What else are you planning?"

She couldn't speak out her thoughts. If she made him angry again, it might be more than just a pill.Then she said it was nothing, turned around to look in the mirror, and kept stroking her cheeks, "If only I could grow up like this, I'll go learn how to dance with Zhuanzhuan later, this face is more useful than the old one, not to mention Beili, just Entering the pear orchard is easy."

The royal family in Dali has a very high talent in poetry, singing and dancing. When not talking about politics, they are the best craftsmen.Today, the Holy Father founded Liyuan when he was young, and the musicians only played for the ban.When she mentioned Liyuan, he was secretly surprised. Seeing how silent she was, I am afraid that Imakami is also on the list of enemies.

He sighed slowly, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, without proper guidance, it is bound to suffer miserably in the future.

"There are four hundred musicians in Liyuan, and it's wishful thinking to rely on the disguise technique to stay forever." He stretched his sleeves and walked around the room, saying as he walked, "I appreciate that you have clear goals, but you live in the world and do what you can. Doing is the golden rule. Don't blame me for not reminding you, be careful not to fight indiscriminately, if you have any changes that endanger the calendar, I will be the first to spare you."

Lian Deng turned her head in panic, and after several contacts, she felt that the national teacher was an easy-going person, but once he got serious, she was still a little scared.In fact, I have also considered whether I can kill all the enemies she identified by myself, and the result is that I can't.The previous two died because of defenselessness, and the third one must not be so easy to succeed.As for the emperor in the Daming Palace, the tens of thousands of Jinwu Guards were not vegetarians.

She was more sensible, nodded and said: "National teacher, don't worry, although I am a fledgling, I know that the sky is high and the earth is strong. Anyway, the emperor is so old, if I don't kill him, he will die himself."

She spoke very bluntly, but her reasons were sufficient, and the national teacher was instantly annoyed by her.It's best if you can see it openly, that's how it is in the first place, if you spend a lot of effort to kill a person who is about to go to the ground, it's too bad to lose your own life.

The national teacher nodded in satisfaction, and was about to praise her when a voice came from the mountain gate, like that girl from Kucha, saying goodbye with a voice so sweet that it could be squeezed into honey.

Lian Deng jumped up all of a sudden, and said in horror: "What should I do, Zhuanzhuan is back!"

The national teacher said it's okay, "Anyway, I'm wearing a mask."

"what about me?"

The national teacher gave her a blank look, "Didn't you also change your appearance! Just pretend to be in the wrong place, she won't recognize it." Said that he opened the door calmly, raised his leg and stepped out.

Sometimes the national teacher's behavior is very puzzling. Doesn't this kind of reason feel far-fetched?It's not a shop in the market, how could you go to the wrong place?
Zhuanzhuanzheng was so happy with Chunguan Yeyou that the flowers shook and the willows trembled. When he looked up and saw two strangers coming out of the bedroom, he was immediately stunned.

"Who are you?" She screamed, "It's the middle of the night, why did you come to someone else's house?"

The voice attracted Taoist nuns, and everyone looked at each other in surprise, bewildered.

Lian Deng was very anxious, why didn't this idiot look at her clothes, shouting and shouting attracted so many people to watch, if her identity was exposed, wouldn't it be rumored that she led a man to jump over the wall in the middle of the night !
But Zhuan Zhuan let out a sigh, trembling for some reason, and whispered in a low-pitched voice like a bird's song, "Xiao Langjun, we've seen each other before!" As he said that, he stepped forward and stared at him excitedly "Do you still remember me? Last year at the Lantern Festival, musicians from the Western Regions set up a stage to sing, and Nunu was on the stage. We made eye contact."

The nobleman of the state often forgets things, and is confused by her familiarity, but Lian Deng understands that the young gentleman in front of him is the one in front of him.She couldn't help but feel a little sad for her, her thoughts were wasted, the fate between her and Mr. Xiao Lang ended before it started, and she just took it out occasionally in the future to recall it, anyway, it can't be taken seriously anymore.

Zhuan Zhuan was still immersed in his own joy, holding his heart together and said: "Are you here to look for me? Unfortunately, I went out earlier, if I knew you were coming, I would definitely stay in the temple and wait for you."

Lian Deng rolled his eyes when he heard that, just now he was fascinated by Chun Guan, and when he turned his head, he forgot everything.

The national teacher is not used to others' overtures like this, and he has no intention of talking to her, so he responded casually: "Someone came to look for Lian Deng, since she is not here, let's forget it. Yaonu, let's go!"

Lian Deng's reaction was half a beat slow, and only when he looked back did he realize that Yao Nu was himself.He didn't dare to speak, fearing that his words would be heard by others, so he hurriedly touched his knees and followed.

Zhuan Zhuan couldn't hold back, full of resentment, he yelled at her and stopped, staring at her like a fighting cock, "Why are you dressed the same as my lotus lamp? What's your origin?"

The national teacher held a walnut in his hand and smiled sweetly, "Is the lotus lamp dressed the same as my maidservant? I will order some bolts of satin to make some new clothes for her some other day." up.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the people in the temple didn't understand what was going on.How could people appear here without seeing them come in?
The young Taoist shuddered, "I heard that the national teacher is closed again. At the end of the year, all kinds of evil spirits came out to make troubles. Two officials died in the city. It is said that they offended the ghosts and gods and were dragged to the eighteenth floor of hell." It's gone... Can you see? There is no shadow under the feet of those two people just now!"

The stars and the moon were dark in the sky, and the lanterns on the ground were so far away, of course they couldn't see their shadows.Everyone was already tense, but they felt panic when they heard this, and they couldn't react in their minds, only their only instinct remained, and they scattered with a bang.

Lian Deng went out with the national teacher, walking with a thud, still not convinced.

The national teacher looked at her impatiently, "You made such a big noise by flying over the roof and walls, you must have been shot to death long ago."

She raised her mouth high, "I'm not a slave!"

He froze for a moment, "I just said that, why are you angry!"

"I'm not called a demon slave either!"

The national teacher was almost annoyed by her, "This is just talking nonsense, do you still remember the grudge for a long time?"

He thought she couldn't see that he was teasing her all the time?It's not good to call it Yao Nu. Is there a normal person with this name?Anyway, she felt that her dignity was trampled on by him, and she wasn't so fussy at first, but when several things came together, the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became.

"You can call me Yu Nu, I think Yu Nu sounds much better than Yao Nu, and she also looks like a maid of a good family! Now those Taoist nuns may be talking about me as a monster, isn't it self-inflicted!"

The national teacher didn't take it seriously, "There are many people in the world who are not as good as monsters. Monsters have unparalleled wisdom and amazing beauty. Do they have them? Monsters can step from the Central Plains to Jiangnan with their feet. Can they do it? What's wrong with being called a monster? Some people call me a demon behind their backs, so what? Let him slander you, you have the same knowledge as him, and you are as insane as they are?"

Lian Deng was blocked by him, and he felt unable to refute, so he shook his sleeves and said, "The national teacher should go back earlier, I'm a little sleepy, so I won't send you far away."

His face suddenly darkened, "Squatting on the roof of someone's house without sleeping all night is not sleepy, but when you see me, you will be sleepy? It's almost midnight, and you can only leave after watching the fireworks!"

So I had no choice but to stand in the bitter cold wind and stare blankly at the sky. Occasionally, I saw the firecrackers of several families go up to the sky, bursting into the air for a moment.

The two people in the darkness stood with their heads up for a long time. Fortunately, there was no moon, otherwise it would be a strange picture of practicing against the moon.The national teacher lost his patience waiting a bit, and said slowly: "Go and eat something!"

Lian Deng had an empty stomach, and he hadn't eaten dinner. This kind of proposal was really suitable for the occasion, so they hit it off and walked to the Hutuo burden at the entrance of the alley.

The doctor is a little old man in his 60s, and he set up a stall very simply. The stove, pots and pans are placed on a flat-headed cart, and there are two or three low tables and five or six beds beside him.Seeing them go and greet them enthusiastically, and asked what they wanted, Lian Deng said two bowls of Hoto, afraid that the national teacher would not be full, so he compared him, "Add another steamed cake for this gentleman." He glanced at her sideways and said nothing.

The doctor agreed resoundingly, and lifted up his sleeves to pick pieces of dough from the dough, his movements were quick and precise.That kind of thin pasta can be picked up in a short time after being placed in the pot, put in a bowl and sprinkled with a pinch of chopped bok choy. Although the shape is not good, the taste is excellent.

Lian Deng was very hungry, out of respect for the elderly, he still gave the first bowl to the national teacher.The national teacher was also polite, took the chopsticks and wiped them again and again, and took a sip like testing medicine, seeing Lian Deng sincerely spurn him.

When the second bowl came, she couldn't care less about eating, and she always felt a little troubled when she changed her face, but it was okay, looking at the facial features of the national teacher, it was very vivid and natural, and it didn't look awkward at all.She reassuredly and boldly sipped the noodle soup, and the whirring sound caught her ears, and the national teacher glanced at her again in disgust.

It's troublesome to be at the same table with a gentleman, he probably has never seen a barbarian beat the table passionately while eating, compared with people from the Western Regions, she is already impeccable.

The doctor took out the steamed cakes from the oven, and when they put them in front of them, they were steaming.The national teacher's hands are noble hands, and they couldn't stand the scalding, so he ordered her to tear them into small pieces and soak them in the soup bowl one by one.

While waiting, Lian Deng tried to inquire, "Last time you said you were going to find medicine for Tan Nu, did you make any progress?"

The national teacher shook his head, "No progress."

"Then what should I do..." She murmured softly, "Ten days have passed, if the blood in the bottle loses its effect, Tan Nu will die."

Thinking of this, I couldn't even eat anything, so I pushed the bowl and chopsticks and just stood there in melancholy.The national teacher is in a good mood today. After eating, he tucked the corner of his mouth and said: "I'll look at it later, there is no news at that time, at worst, I will ask for your blood again."

Her face immediately cleared up, "Really?"

He pointed to the bowl, "Finish."

She hurriedly said yes, and the chopsticks clacked the rim of the bowl.The national teacher slightly pulled the corner of his lower lip, it was the first time he ate something from the market, and it was not as bad as he imagined.It was the first time to eat with a woman, and the woman's eating style was not as dignified as written in the book.

Suddenly, a bell rang in the distance. Unexpectedly, fireworks all over the sky swept over like a tide.He stood up and looked into the distance with his hands behind his back. The fiery trees and silver flowers wove a beautiful Chang'an.I have never been to the city on New Year's Eve before, and looking from Shenheyuan, no matter how brilliant it is, it is just a very faint light from afar.Now that I am in it, I feel a huge shock that has no place to hide.

The people behind him also saw this scene for the first time, cheered happily, and rushed over to stand side by side with him.He turned his head to look at her, and the colorful lights lit up her eyes. She said it was so beautiful, "I have been in Chang'an for so long, and this is the first time I feel that this capital city is full of fireworks. Even if I am a passer-by, I like it a little bit now."

The corners of his lips cooled down, and he murmured: "I have always liked this place very much, I like...even desire..."

This feast of light and fire did not last long, about two cups of tea, and gradually subsided, leaving only the lingering smell of sulfur in the air.When the song is over, people should leave.The national teacher touched the sleeve pocket and found that it was empty. He didn't know if it was lost or what. Anyway, the money was gone, so he could only stare at the lotus lamp.

Lian Deng has always been very independent and decisive, this is the cutest part of her body, she feels that she should be responsible for herself, and has never caused any burden to others because of her delicate gender.She didn't want him to pay at all, she generously untied her purse and put it on the table, poured the copper coins into her palm like a child learning to count, and counted two coins extremely carefully.

Sometimes the clumsy and childish movements are more touching. This is a charm that the sophisticated girls in Chang'an can't learn.The national teacher folded her chest and watched from the sidelines. She smiled and handed over the money to the doctor. She was satisfied with the meal and was very grateful.Then he resigned his burden and walked back, looking around while walking, "Why haven't the envoys come to pick up the national teacher? Have you forgotten the national teacher? It's already very late at night, I don't know if Tanu has gone back, I am a little relieved No more."

The national teacher had no temper after eating, and felt tired, so he raised his hand and slapped twice, and a few more figures appeared behind him.Lian Deng breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to them respectfully, "I have handed over the national teacher to the envoys, please ask the envoys to protect the national teacher back to the palace."

The national teacher covered his mouth and yawned, tied on the streamer of his cloak, turned around and went to the other side of the courtyard without any explanation.

Lian Deng was finally able to stretch his muscles and bones. He had been restrained for a long time, and felt that he was inflexible.So Shi Zhan returned to the mountain gate, took off her mask before entering the temple, and saw Tan Nu and Zhuan Zhuan were there, she felt at ease.

She turned around and closed the door and asked, "How is it? What did the imperial doctor say?"

Tan Nu leaned on the mattress and shook his head, "Just like what Fuju said, the person who tied the bell is needed to untie the bell. General Xiao asked me where I was poisoned, but I dare not mention the Yin Yang Inn. After all, it is a human life, and Dali Temple may still hang it." What about the case?"

It's also a dilemma, the person is dead, even if he knows where the poison is, it's useless, it's better not to talk about it, one more thing is worse than one less thing.

Lian Deng propped his face and lamented, "I asked the national teacher, but there was no news from him. I thought about going to the Yin Yang Inn in two days to find out where that person studied and which sect he belonged to. Even if the poison was developed by himself Yes, the same sect can always know something inside."

Zhuan Zhuan said quietly: "If someone kills my fellow disciple, I will not hand over the antidote. The reputation of the Supreme Shrine is so great that I can't find out the clues. Can you do it alone?"

Tan Nu was very optimistic, "I'm fine now, you don't need to worry about me. Fuju said that day that the poison cannot stay in the body for a lifetime. If I'm still alive in two years, the poison should have subsided by then. As for the root The needles are only two to three cents long, so even if they wander through the veins, they won’t be fatal. Thanks to the pot of blood, I can survive until the day when the poison is exhausted, maybe I’ll be fine.”

Speaking of this pure Yang blood, it is also a headache.It takes two years to drink, how can others provide for it for a long time?If there were not so many restrictions, it wouldn't matter even if Lian Deng had to cut herself twice every day. Now that the national teacher refused to say who that person was, she couldn't talk about it if she wanted to discuss it.

Seeing that they were all frowning, Tan Nu deliberately changed the topic, "Okay, okay, don't talk about me, how is the conversation with Chunguan going? Is there any progress?"

Turning around with a dry smile, "That man is very good at pretending to be confused, he seems to be an old fox. But it doesn't matter, I can subdue him with my beauty and intelligence." At this point, he remembered what happened just now, and hurriedly told Lian Deng, "I saw that young gentleman today. When he came back, he was coming out of our room. He was not polite. He even asked the maid to make tea soup. It is said that he came here to find you. When did you know him? It's that Bibi Chunguan is even more handsome, he looks seventeen or eighteen."

Lian Deng was very embarrassed, "I just tell you, don't worry about others anymore, forget about it!"

Turn around and look at her suspiciously, "What? Did you fall in love with him too?"

Lian Deng suddenly grew one head and two bigger, and asked her simply, "Is there another bearded woman with him? Wearing exactly the same clothes as mine?"

Zhuanzhuan was surprised, "How do you know?"

Lian Deng held his forehead and said: "That bearded girl is me after my disguise, and that little man, he is the national teacher."

Zhuan Zhuan and Tan Nu said at the same time, "The national teacher is an old monster!"

"I told you long ago that the national teacher is not old, and that young gentleman is disguised by him, but his appearance is not much different, a little older and better-looking."

Turn around and say oh my god, "It's a trap!" After saying this, he sobbed and cried, beating his chest and said, "My heart is about to break, how can Mr. Xiaolang be a national teacher! How could he lie to me like this! Why? Why……"

The other two looked at her mournfully, and could do nothing but hand her the handkerchief.

The next day, two people dressed as domestic servants came, drove to the mountain gate, and sent several bolts of colorful clothes, jewelry sachets and two thousand guan.

The three poor people gathered around a pile of things to admire, the national teacher's great handwriting, the national teacher's vulgar vision!It is hard to imagine what it would look like to wear the satin of red and willow green.

Fuju has contacts with the noble lady in Chang'an, and according to her, these are the most fashionable patterns, there are only satin that cannot be bought, and there are no clothes that cannot be made.For example, tangled branches and group flowers can be used to make myrobalan and narrow sleeves, small clusters of flowers and curly grass can be used to make skirts, silver flower gauze can be used to make silk paintings, etc.As if waking up from a dream, they each pulled a few feet of material and gave it to Fuju, who happily carried it away.

Tan Nu looked at the flying money and praised, "Why is the national teacher so generous? What we do is risky, and we have money exchanges with us. Are you afraid it will be bad for the Jingu?"

"That's why the person I sent here wasn't dressed up as a jerk." Lian Deng thought about it carefully, "It must be that I treated him to a bowl of Hoto last night, and he wanted to thank me. Likeable."

Having said that, Lian Deng is still very grateful, and specially wrote a letter of worship and sent it to the Taishang Shrine to ask to see the national teacher.

Lu Changshi was very enthusiastic when he saw her coming, so he hurriedly invited her to the pavilion to offer tea soup and snacks, but his face was full of regret, "Unfortunately, the national teacher is in retreat, and it is not yet determined when she will leave. Let's go for a run."

Lian Deng said, "It's not in vain. I haven't seen Chang Shi for several days, so I should come and see Chang Shi."

Lu Qing was flattered and said with a smile: "Accepting my wife's affection, don't just look at me, it's good to walk around often. I'll order people to clean up the Linlang Realm. How about my lady still live there?"

Lian Deng hurriedly said no, "I just came to see the national teacher and the long history, and I have to go back to the city. I got a lot of rewards from the national teacher yesterday, and I felt uneasy. After all, I don't get paid for nothing. So many things , I don’t know how to thank the national teacher.”

Lu Qing held his hands and smiled, "The national teacher is a compassionate person, and he knows that it is not easy for women to live in the city. Since the lady does not want to come back to the shrine, the national teacher can only help with daily expenses." Pause Then he asked tentatively, "Has the lady been doing well in the city recently? A few murders occurred a few years ago, which alarmed the government. The lady is from the Western Regions, so I don't know how powerful they are. You should be extra careful when you act in the future."

Lian Deng looked up at him, his words were ambiguous, as if he knew the inside story, but he didn't point it out, so he couldn't guess whether the national teacher had told him about her situation.In any case, I still want to thank him. From Dunhuang to Chang'an, the three of them depended on each other along the way. Although they sometimes showed their teeth and claws, most of the time they were alone.Later, when they arrived at the Shrine, the people in the Shrine treated them very kindly. Even if the national teacher was intermittently petty and stubborn, but with such a large amount of things in front of them, all the anger would disappear.For example, Xiaodujichang immediately becomes serious about life, and being unruly and self-willed only shows a distinctive personality.

She sat down and bowed to him, "Thank you for your generosity, and thank Chang Shi for your concern. The inspection in the city has been very strict in recent days. Fortunately, the clearance has been completed earlier, otherwise I don't know how to deal with it when the government soldiers come to the door." That's good."

Lu Qing nodded, fell silent, walked slowly to the side of the flowers, picked up two fallen leaves from the bottom of the potted plants and threw them out of the window.After a while, he said again: "I used to be an internal servant of the Forbidden Palace before I came to work in the Jingu Temple, so I know a little bit about the affairs in the court. People are in the whirlpool, and they often don't see things so thoroughly. The lady came to Chang'an..." He shook his head, "It's far away."

After hearing what he said, Lian Deng's mind suddenly jumped.It seems that Lu Qing knew something, and he didn't mention it at first, probably because he didn't expect her to make such a big commotion.Now pointing at her right now, I don't know why.But he said he would look far away, so could the real enemy be in the desert?

She straightened up and took two steps forward, "I also ask Chang Shi for advice."

Lu Qing opened his mouth, thought about it and gave up, and just said it was nothing.Suddenly he heard the sound of deer croaking outside, he hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Lian Deng followed up to see that it turned out that several adult stags were fighting among themselves, their huge antlers collided, and they were gnashing their teeth to wrestle under a pine tree.It's just strange that deer are like people, they have nothing to do with themselves, and some like to watch the excitement.Lian Deng recognized the familiar figure at a glance, with sparse plum blossoms, and a pair of small horns pointing his feet to look around in the herd of deer, who is not the favorite pet of the national teacher!

"Nine colors!" She called out, and sure enough, it turned around immediately, saw it was her, and ran towards her step by step.Lian Deng knelt down to meet it, and it slammed into her arms intimately.She stroked its head and body well, and said softly, "The horns haven't grown yet, don't always go to dangerous places. What if someone bumps into you? When the national teacher comes out and sees that you are missing arms and legs , don’t you feel so distressed that you are crying all the time?” After finishing speaking, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and looked left and right, but fortunately Lu Qing was far away, busy fighting over there.

Jiu Se didn't pay much attention to her advice, turned his head and rubbed on her neck, sniffed everywhere after rubbing, and then squeezed his head into her collar.

Lian Deng covered his neck, raised his hand and patted its mouth.What kind of deer is really raised by someone, Jiu Se's temper is very similar to that of the national teacher, he feels good all the time, and he doesn't take others seriously all the time.

"A deer must also have a deer character. Don't rely on the imperial prestige to fly domineeringly. Be careful that one day you will be caught by sawing your horns and bleeding."

She intimidated it, and it immediately looked disdainful at her expression, turned around with its head raised, twisted its round buttocks and pretended to go towards the bluestone slab.

Lian Deng watched it off with a smile, and looked up at the sky. The clouds in the distance were accumulating rain.She stroked her sleeves and planned to go back, but she just turned around and found that Jiu Se had returned, shaking her neck stiffly and imitating the "follow me" posture, how awkward and awkward that look was.

She looked at it with her hips on her hips, "Every time you take me somewhere, I end up having bad luck. You exist just to trick me, right?"

Its large eyes looked straight at her, as pure and flawless as when they first saw it.One person and one deer stared at each other for a while, but Lian Deng decided to trust it again, followed it to the back of the yard, and turned around into a rose flower shelf.It was only after walking to the end that there was a row of verandas separating this place from the front yard. The mullion door was wide open at the back of a large oak room, and the front was half-covered and half-closed. Through the veranda, you can see the scene in the warm pavilion in the front yard.

Lian Deng glanced at Jiu Se, not understanding what it meant.It arched its head and led her forward, and then went around the corner of the room before seeing the situation in the room clearly. Behind the door sat a man wearing a smock with wide sleeves. The hem of the coat was stretched out and spread flat on the floor. The door frame was pushed forward as far as possible, sneaking and shrinking, not knowing what to look at.

A gust of wind blows over and blows the long hair under the jade belt. The hair is so soft that when it is lifted up, you can see the details of the strands falling.Lian Deng covered her mouth in surprise, isn't the national teacher in retreat, why is she peeking here?Do you feel embarrassed because you gave something to the girl?

She almost burst out laughing, how can there be such an awkward person in the world, shouldn't one be over 100 years old and sit on the Diaoyutai without being surprised?He must have been unsure whether the suit he chose would be disliked, and his mouth was unforgiving, but in the end he had a fragile heart that could not be touched.

Nine colors have finally done a good thing this time, sometimes it's very pleasing to eat.Lian Deng held its deer head and kissed it vigorously, but unexpectedly it fainted, staggered a few steps, and fell to the ground.Lian Deng was startled, and hurriedly hugged it in his arms, its half-opened eyes were blurred, as if drunk.

After all, it was too much noise, and was finally discovered by the national teacher.He turned his head in a panic, and seeing her appearing behind the house, he was at a loss for what to do.

Lian Deng squinted and smiled, a row of glutinous rice and silver teeth were neat and cute, "The national teacher is here, I came to find you, Chang Shi said that you are in retreat, I didn't expect to see you again."

The national teacher cleared his throat and put on a dignified expression, "I was about to enter the pagoda, but something happened, so I was delayed for a while." Wearing snow-white silk socks, he crept over, stood under the eaves and lowered his eyes to look at them, "Nine-color this What's the matter?"

The lotus lantern shook it twice, and murmured: "It may not be close to women, I kissed it, and it fainted."

The national teacher's complexion changed slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "It's okay, I asked Qiu Guan to give it a few needles, and it would wake up naturally." As soon as the words fell, he watched it jump up swiftly, and ran away in the blink of an eye like an arrow Far.

Lian Deng suddenly couldn't help laughing, she had never found everything in the shrine so interesting, unlike when she first came here, she was trembling, and gradually felt that many people and things were very amiable, which would make people feel a sense of attachment.She looked up and called him, and he pointed his nostrils at her arrogantly, but she still kept smiling, "I have received all the things sent by the national teacher, so much material and money, I can't repay you. I Originally, I owed the debt to the national teacher, and now I can't pay it off."

He is very indifferent to money, and the wealth accumulated by the Taishang Shrine in the past 160 years will not be spent in ten lifetimes.Anyway, I already owed it, so it doesn't matter if I have more.However, the priority of money and love still needs to be distinguished. He hugged his chest and said, "Money is something external to you, so it should not be confused with another debt. I think you don't have anything long, so I don't expect you to pay back the money. Virgos are still very generous to their own people."

It's a strange development to owe debts to one's own people.But there's nothing wrong with his own people, the way Lian Deng looks at him has more meanings.Just wait, when she finishes her revenge, she must find a way to rob him back to her cave.

The national teacher didn't notice, and still asked her with airs, "Those materials...do you like it?"

She nodded repeatedly, "We all like it, one piece of material can make several clothes, and we can wear them when the weather gets warmer."

He was very happy, but still a little worried, he hesitated and said, "Don't you think the color is too bright?"

Fortunately, he has this awareness, but he can't pick and choose when receiving gifts from others. Lian Deng said no very considerately, "Ladies in the city all wear pomegranate skirts, and the materials chosen by the national teacher are very suitable."

Now the national teacher is happier, not worried that others don't like the things she gave out, and she won't be afraid to see her because of it.He walked around twice under the eaves, straightened his face and said: "The auspicious time for me to enter the customs has come, you go back." Dragging the hem of his clothes, he walked a few steps, remembered something, turned around and ordered, "I will leave later. Nine colors are far away, it is still small, it cannot withstand the temptation of beauty, and it can't tell whether it is a human or a deer. If there is a deviation in understanding, it will have an impact on its future marriage...There will be no relationship between humans and deer. happy."

He said something inexplicable and walked away.Lian Deng stood there scratching his scalp, without pausing, went back to the front to say goodbye to Lu Qing, and hurried back to the city.

Fortunately, it didn't start to rain until she entered the mountain gate.At night, it was still pattering, and the rain feet, accompanied by the sound of the wind, suddenly swept on the window lattice.

Turning around and busying with nachezi, wrapping the four sides of the ball of satin with dark inlays, and threading needles and threads under the lamp.Tan Nu had just taken the medicine and became energetic, so he stood up and wiped the tin-mounted horizontal knife.After polishing it, he swished a few times above his head, and began to lament that he hadn't practiced for too long, and his fists and feet were rusty.

Lian Deng put his face on his face and had nothing to do. Thinking of Lu Qing's words, he couldn't let go of his heart, "What did Lu Changshi mean when he said that I would look far away? Could it be that the real enemy worthy of attention is in the desert? Anyone with whom to hook up?"

Tan Nu looked up at her, "Then why didn't Wang Apu tell you back then, but let you go to the Central Plains?"

She couldn't explain the reason behind it, but she thought for a while and said, "Maybe even Abu doesn't know, or maybe Abu knows that the enemy is too strong, and thinks that my revenge is tantamount to death, so just hide me!"

Tan Nu was silent for a moment and said it doesn't matter, "We will return to the desert when the matter in Chang'an is resolved. No matter who the enemy is, we must find him and tear him to pieces."

Zhuan Zhuan quietly interjected next to him, "If the opponent is really too strong, you still have to find a strong person to help. When I get Chunguan into my pocket, it would be great to ask him to stand up for you."

Lian Deng thought of the national teacher, shook his head and said: "I don't need other people's help, this is my own business, and I can't involve irrelevant people. Now I just want to get revenge early, and then take someone back to the desert to settle down."

Zhuan Zhuan suddenly turned his head, "Who are you taking? Have you found someone? You don't want to marry a sheep herder?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, "I want to find someone better. It seems that I can't marry. I can."

Tan Nu laughed when he heard this, "Are you going to marry by force? But don't forget, the national teacher does not allow you to get married. The medicine he forced you to take is said to be effective for a lifetime. You still plan to marry someone else, don't be whimsical."

Whether it is whimsical or not is not important, what is important is that she finds being with the national teacher very interesting.Although he was bullied all the time, his heart was not bad at all.Because after taking that medicine, I didn't want to die alone, so I could only make up my mind on him.Take him back to the desert, coax him well, maybe you can keep him, and you can also take Jiu Se.Then there were Ah Pu, Tan Nu and Zhuan Zhuan. Xia Ye sat on the sand dunes and roasted wild game over a fire. It was a happy day to think of those days.

However, the national teacher is so capable, it may not be easy to rob him.And the Lingtai Langs around him, not to mention others, a Chunguan would be hard to resist.

She lay on the table and sighed, maybe it was just a good wish, just to make herself happy.Going over to look at the clothes you sewed, the needlework is crooked and unsightly, "Tomorrow, I'd better go to the Caibo shop in Dongshi, ask someone else to make it, and make it the most fashionable, I will need it later. .”

For more than ten days after Gao Yun's death, she has been in a state of doing nothing. After the year is over, the remaining one should be resolved.

She went to guard Li Xingjian's mansion. After the festival, relatives and friends visited each other constantly, so she didn't find a good opportunity to make a move.Later, I thought about infiltrating the mansion, but Li Xingjian was much more vigilant than Gao Yun, and he didn't necessarily notice that someone was specifically targeting Bailiji's case, but more because he thought that a certain group had started targeting the ministers of the DPRK and China. massacre.The older a person is, the more he is afraid of death. Li Xingjian is cautious when going out, and there are many guards around him.Lian Deng stared at it for a long time, but gave up because there was nowhere to insert the pin.

After staying like this for seven or eight days, things finally turned around, and Li Xingjian's birthday was approaching.Li Jieyu's biological mother passed away half a year ago, she probably felt that it was still in the mourning period, and it was not appropriate to put up lights and festoons at home, so she chose another place and made grand arrangements in the other garden.
