[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

On New Year's Eve, the soft snow that had been falling for several days finally stopped.

The National Teacher's Mansion was very lively. Liu Mubai, who was originally in the south of the Yangtze River, returned to Beijing for the New Year. Lu Lingfeng's twin sister, Lu Zhi, also got acquainted with the National Teacher's Mansion, so she also went to the National Teacher's Mansion to celebrate the New Year. We ate together at Guoshi Mansion.

In the side hall of the kitchen, on the big Eight Immortals table, a mandarin duck pot is tumbling on the stove with fragrant broth, chicken is stewed in the white soup, spicy oil is bright in the red soup, and dishes of cabbage, mushroom meatballs and sliced ​​meat are placed around the stove, neatly Incredibly.

Lu Lingfeng picked up the thinly sliced ​​beef, rolled it twice in the pot, scalded it and put it in Su Jixian's bowl, and then scooped up chicken for him.

Liu Mubai lamented that different people have different fates, self-reliance to get meatballs for himself, and he did not forget to give a share to Chen Yue next to him.

"The leg of lamb is ready!" Lu Zhi rushed over with two large platters of leg of lamb, and the smell of barbecue filled his nostrils. "I am the number one expert in roasting meat in Mingjiao! Come and eat the leg of lamb!"

Lu Lingfeng picked up a piece of dried fish that was fried golden with chopsticks for Lu Zhi, and smiled lightly and evilly, "It does look much better than when I left the Holy Sepulcher Mountain."

Lu Zhi cocked his tail triumphantly, and snorted, "That's it!"

The leg of lamb she roasted is indeed very beautiful, the skin is burnt and crispy, sprinkled with top-quality cumin and thirteen spices, it is very tasty, and the cut leg of lamb is not the kind of thin slices of meat, but relatively large meat One bite, the oil can flow out, but it won't feel greasy at all, the meat is tender and chewy, even Chen Yue, who doesn't eat barbecue much, couldn't help but eat a few more pieces.

At the dinner table in the National Teacher's Mansion, there is basically no such rule of keeping one's mouth shut, so Liu Mubai chattered about what he had seen and heard in the south of the Yangtze River.

"Baling is quite interesting. It was summer when I went there. The rape blossoms were blooming just right, and a large area was so golden that I was almost blinded by the sun." Liu Mubai poured another plate of chicken into the pot Then I went to grill the mutton, "But the rapeseed is quite delicious, oh yes, there are also rapeseeds, which seem to be able to extract oil, but they are not as delicious as sesame oil."

"Baling? I've been there too!" Lu Zhi took a sip of the soup, his eyes sparkling with excitement, the dark blue eyes reflecting the fire, dazzling like a cat at night, "When I came to the Central Plains, I wanted to go directly to Chang'an Yes, but I took the wrong road and went to Baling. I saw a strange man there and said that he had a toothache and asked me to knock it out for him...Do you people in the Central Plains always have toothaches knocked out? "

"That's not it... Speaking of it, the person in Baling who keeps complaining about toothaches seems to be Jin... What the hell is Jin, oh where is Jin!" Liu Mubai slapped the table, and was cast a sideways glance by Chen Yue. Well, let me tell you, that person is very wicked, earning money from dead people! Knocking out his tooth would be cheap for him. Speaking of dead people... there is a mass grave in Baling, before I return to Beijing, the Haoqi League sent people Went to Qinggang."

After waiting for a while and no one asked any questions, he curled his lips and continued, "I've been there, I don't know some crooked person refining poison there, most of the mass graves are full of living corpses... What a crime!"

"Living corpses... I saw them in Lidu City when I was a child." Su Jixian ate a piece of beef and said, "At that time, I took Yue'er and stayed in Lidu City. I originally planned to return to the village after the limelight. Unexpectedly, we have not stayed in Lidu City for a few days, and the water source in the city has been poisoned."

Chen Yue obviously still remembers that experience, and she still has lingering fears, "Fortunately, the water my brother and I drank in the past few days was carried on our bodies... For three days, I watched the people in the city turn into poisonous corpses. Biting a living person or even an animal is a nightmare."

"Speaking of which, Lu Zhi, I remember that your Ming Sect tracked down the whereabouts of the Red Clothes Sect in the Central Plains?" Su Jixian looked at Lu Zhi, "I remember there were people from the Red Clothes Sect in Luodao, and Yue'er was almost caught by them Let's go. But after so many years, there are only ruins left there, and there probably aren't many valuable clues."

His eyes are very gentle, the peach blossom eyes are slightly curved, the corners of the eyes are raised, and the thick and long eyelashes outline a warm and beautiful arc, as if the bright galaxy is flowing in his eyes, when he looks at him, there will be a kind of love that he regards as The illusion of pampering like a pearl in the palm of your hand.

Lu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head in a daze and sucked a mouthful of fans, ate it to gather himself, and then calmly said: "Lingfeng, the stronghold of the Red Clothes Cult in Luodao, told me that it's because it's been too long. I can't find anything, but it doesn't matter, the Dihua Palace of the Red Clothes Sect has also been flattened by you Central Plains people, and the rest probably won't be a big deal."

Liu Mubai clicked his tongue, and tapped his fingers on the table, "Why are you talking about such serious things during Chinese New Year? Master Su, don't be so serious and boring."

"Am I boring..."

"Master, you have a good temper." Lu Lingfeng glanced at Liu Mubai, and poured the diced yam into the white soup pot, "Throughout the entire Tang Dynasty, how many gentlemen are as calm and wise as you?"

Chen Yue nodded seriously: "Brother is naturally the best."

Liu Mubai closed his mouth, then ate and ate, feeling that he could not communicate with these two people.

Lu Zhi smiled sullenly, turned his eyes, and looked at Lu Lingfeng, the corners of his lips curled up a bit, looking charming and cunning, with a faint hint of arrogance.

Lu Lingfeng also looked at her from the side. The golden and blue mandarin duck eyes looked like radiant glass at first glance, but after a long time, they turned into an abyss that sucked people's soul. Live numb.

After eating this New Year's Eve dinner for more than an hour, tea and wine were served after the stove was removed, and they were ready to watch the new year.

Su Jixian drank longan and red date tea slowly, his eyelids drooped, his eyelashes looked like half-folded butterfly wings, casting a shadow under his eyelids.

Lu Lingfeng squeezed his shoulder, and asked softly: "Young Master, are you sleepy? Go back to your room and sleep."

Chen Yue touched his pulse and asked him to go back to the room, "It's very cold in winter, brother, don't watch the New Year's Eve, go to bed first, Xiaobai and I will watch over for you."

Su Jixian yawned, covering his lips with five fingers, and put the cup on the table without refusing, "Then I'll go to sleep. This body is really getting worse every year, obviously last year it can last until midnight ..."

Chen Yue's smile disappeared from her lips, and there was a bit of panic in her eyes, but Su Jixian didn't see it, got up and put on a thick sable fur, put on a hood, and went back with Lu Lingfeng's company. room.

The National Teacher's Mansion is rich and powerful, the earth dragon is burning all the time, and the master bedroom is always warm.

Perhaps because of eating mutton and some warm food, Su Jixian slept well tonight. Although the temperature of his hands and feet was still not warm, they were no longer cold.

Lu Lingfeng waited for him to fall asleep completely before putting down the curtain and quietly walking out of the room. After closing the door and turning around, she saw Chen Yue standing in the corridor wearing a cloak.

After winter, the corridors of the National Teacher's Mansion will be hung with thick felts. Even if you stand in the corridors, you won't get a little wind, and it won't be particularly cold.

"Miss Yue." Lu Lingfeng nodded to her, and stood there waiting for her to speak.

Chen Yue stared at him in silence for a while, then said softly: "I know what you think about my brother."

Lu Lingfeng's heart skipped a beat, but she still had a smile on her face, looking somewhat innocent.

"My brother is very slow, but I am not. I can see what kind of evil thoughts you have towards my brother."

"How can this be called an evil thought?" Lu Lingfeng disagreed, "I sincerely want to grow old with the young master, this is not an evil thought."

"Although I am still young and a woman, don't forget that I am also a doctor. I know all the marks on my brother's body." Chen Yue snorted softly, her voice was indifferent, and her eyes were slightly cold, "Lu Lingfeng, Don't think I don't know what you did to your brother while he was asleep."

Lu Lingfeng wasn't panicked either, and took the time to continue: "So what does Miss Yue mean?"

"I won't interfere with you and my brother's affairs for the time being. Instead of letting my brother marry someone else's woman and take care of them, it's better to let you take care of my brother for the rest of his life. But, Lu Lingfeng, if you have the slightest sign of being sorry for my brother , I will make it impossible for you to see him in this life." Chen Yue whispered slowly, "Don't forget, I am in Yinyuanhui and Qingyan Wanhua, and I can talk to each other."

Lu Lingfeng smiled softly, her peach blossom eyes were slightly bent, as if glazed brilliance overflowed from the corners of his eyes, "Although I don't know what gave Miss Yue the illusion that I would feel sorry for you, but I can still understand Miss Yue's mood Woolen cloth."

After all, it would be heart-wrenching for one's own stunningly talented and unparalleled elder brother to be stared at by another man.

"Miss Yue can rest assured, the son is my life, and I will not do anything bad to him."

"Then remember today's words." Chen Yue didn't stay any longer, turned around and walked along the corridor to her room.

Lu Lingfeng watched her leave, until she could not hear her footsteps, then turned around, looked at the void beside her, and whispered in Persian, "Why are you here?"

Then the void he looked at gradually revealed a slender figure, and the flame-shaped golden ornaments shone coldly under the light of the lantern.

"Don't be so bad-tempered, my dear brother." Lu Zhi sat on the railing of the corridor with a smile, with a natural charm in his free and easy posture, "I'm just passing by."

Lu Lingfeng snorted softly.Listen to your nonsense here!

"That little girl looks weak and weak, but she has a very handsome personality. Then again, for a monster like Young Master Su, are you really relieved to leave his side?"

"Don't worry. But I am a disciple of the Ming Cult after all, and I cannot shirk my responsibility." Lu Lingfeng turned her head and looked at the closed window with an extremely tender and affectionate expression, as if she saw the peaceful sleeping person through the window. .

"So I'm going to get this sorted out as fast as I can and get back to him."

Then let him completely belong to himself.
