[Jian Wang III] Prosperous Tang Dynasty

In the long corridor of Da Ci'en Temple, there were few pilgrims, only Su Jixian and Lu Lingfeng walked one after the other.

Su Jixian walked very slowly, step by step, his boots stomped silently.

The late spring cold is almost over, although it is still cold, but there is already a little sunshine, slanting through the heavy lead clouds.Half of the corridor was bathed in sunlight, but he walked in the shadows, refusing even the corners of his clothes to touch the sunlight.Lu Lingfeng looked at his back from behind him, and suddenly felt that this was a corridor extending into the depths of darkness, and Su Jixian was walking down without hesitation.

"Lingfeng," he whispered his name, his voice was still gentle and loose, "I remember, this is the fifth year you have been with me."

"Five years and six days." He replied, stretching out his hand to brush off a floating bamboo leaf.

"When Lu Jiaozhu brought you here, my father said that he only needed to be my bodyguard for five years. Now it has been five years, and the favor owed by Mingjiao to my father has been paid off." Su Jixian walked around the corner, brightly The soft sunlight shone on his face, and his lips and chin, which were not covered by the mask, were coated with a faint golden light, outlining dizzyingly delicate lines, "When are you going back to the Western Regions?"

"...I won't go back for now. Mingjiao affairs are managed by my adoptive father, and I have nothing to do when I go back. It's better to stay here."

Su Jixian looked back at him in surprise.In fact, Lu Lingchuan had already taken over part of Mingjiao's affairs, and he knew all about it, but he didn't expose this guy's open-eyed nonsense, only saying that he still had something to do in the Central Plains and needed an identity as a cover.

"In the past few years, I'm afraid it will not be peaceful."

"I'll play it safe."

"Yue'er returns to Chang'an today, and is expected to return in the afternoon."

"I've already made arrangements, my lord, don't worry."

Walking out of Daci'en Temple, there is still a section of empty alley, where horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slabs make a sound of kicking and tapping, and the echo is ethereal.

The sound of horseshoes seemed scattered and orderly, interlaced and overlapped, and a dark figure gradually walked into the other end of the straight alley.

A tall black horse came leisurely, and the metal on the horse ornaments shimmered as it swayed. The man on the horse was dressed in a purple-grey dark gold lapel jacket, with a tall and straight figure, deep and handsome eyebrows, and a darker wheat-colored skin. Her gestures are all flamboyantly wild, and she looks different from the people in the capital.

Seeing Su Jixian, he stopped his horse, got off the horse and bowed his hands: "I have seen the national teacher."

Lu Lingfeng approached and whispered to remind Su Jixian thoughtfully, "Master Shi Jia, Shi Chaoyi?"

Shi Chaoyi is now just a little captain of Fan Yangjie, while he is a first-rank national teacher, no matter how proud he is, he must bow his head in front of him.

"The national teacher has a good memory, and righteousness is flattered." Shi Chaoyi pulled the reins, his voice was low and hoarse, although he was respectful, but it always made people feel a sense of crisis. It's not beautiful. Now that we meet by chance, why not be righteous and invite Master Guoshi to have a drink?"

"My national teacher doesn't like drinking." Su Jixian refused cleanly, and Shi Chaoyi couldn't even react, "Besides, my national teacher came out of the Da Ci'en Temple, and Mr. Shi seems to be about to enter the temple? It's a different way. Why drink together? Lingfeng, let's go."

"Yes."

The two left, Shi Chaoyi stood there silently, looking back at Su Jixian's back, his face sinking like water.

Although he had heard of the state teacher's wanton arrogance, but this time he really saw the state teacher's defiantness.

This is a special way?

Ah……

The meeting with Shi Chaoyi was just an episode, neither Su Jixian nor Lu Lingfeng took it to heart.

After returning to the National Teacher's Mansion and ordering people to prepare lunch, Su Jixian turned and went back to the dormitory to change clothes.Wearing a gorgeous dark purple dress in line with the style of the national teacher when going out, there is no need to wear such cumbersome clothes at home.

He put on a black wide-sleeved jacket over the snow-white jacket. He bowed his head and tied the belt. Just as he buttoned the concealed buttons, his hands suddenly covered his eyes from behind.

The field of vision was pitch black, but the rest of the senses became more sensitive.The silk gloves on the hands above the eyes are slightly cold, with a vague medicinal fragrance, as familiar as their own hands.

"Yue'er." Su Ji smiled and turned around.

The girl in front of her looked at the age of fourteen or fifteen, wearing a deep purple top and a lavender-trimmed snow satin dress, wearing the same style of boots, with a scarf around her neck to cover her small face, neat bangs The next pair of eyes are not quiet like the eyes that a girl of this age should have.

"Brother." She let go of the hand covering Su Jixian's eyes, hugged his waist, and buried herself in his arms.

"Why did you arrive so early?" He patted her head that had just reached his chest, tenderly and pamperingly.

"Take a shortcut." Chen Yue replied softly, eyes closed, long eyelashes covering the eyes like a small fan, and the brows and eyes were a little tired.

Su Jixian rubbed her hair, "What are you in such a hurry for? I don't know how to run away in Chang'an."

She frowned slightly, a little unhappy, "You didn't tell me when you suddenly went to Yangzhou last time, and I went to Baidi City to find you, but you left when you got there."

When going to Baidi City, Xuanzong sent him to deal with the rogue Yin soldiers, but Yang Guozhong arranged for dead soldiers to ambush him and injured him, so he had to run away so as not to scare Chen Yue who came to look for him.

"Hey, there's nothing I can do when I'm on official business." He smiled and held her face and rubbed it, as if he liked the soft and smooth touch in his palm, "When I received the news that you were coming to see me, I would On the way to Yangzhou. Have you had lunch?"

"Not yet, I have ordered people to prepare more meals, and eat with my brother."

"Well, let's take a rest after eating and washing up. Although Wanhua Valley is not far from Chang'an, it's easy to get tired."

"Okay." Chen Yue stood obediently and let him rub it enough, then took his arm, and grabbed his wrist with a white gloved hand, with her slender fingers lying across the wrist.

The slight beating was transmitted to her fingers through the thin snow satin, Chen Yue lowered her eyebrows and eyes, making it hard to see her expression.

"Yue'er, what's the matter?"

Chen Yue raised her head, looked at Su Jixian's lightly smiling face, blinked her eyes lightly, "I'm hungry."

"Heh... let's go, the dishes should be ready by now."

When Chen Yue returned to the National Teacher's Mansion, the servants in the mansion even walked much more briskly.It's not that there is less work on hand, but that their master is in a good mood, and they can relax a little bit.

However, with Chen Yue's return, a guest also came to the National Teacher's Mansion, and in a very short period of time, everyone in the National Teacher's Mansion was familiar with him.

Ye Xuan, the youngest disciple of Ye Ying, the master of Hidden Sword Villa.

As the young master of Yinyuanhui, Su Jixian is actually very familiar with Hidden Sword Villa, and he knows the reason for Ye Xuan's frequent visits.

Ye Xuan took a fancy to his family, Yue'er.

Chen Yue is only one year younger than him, and now he is only fifteen, and Ye Xuan is seventeen, so they match in age.Moreover, Ye Xuan's personality is lively and careful, a bit crazy, which complements Chen Yue's indifferent personality. If Ye Xuan and Chen Yue are together, Su Jixian has nothing to worry about.

It's just... It's always a bit delicate to have my younger sister who has been raised by me for ten years being stared at like this...

The pavilion in the backyard is filled with a faint fragrance of flowers. Wisteria is wrapped around the pavilion pillars, covering the entire pavilion cover, and hanging down like a curtain, blocking the increasingly intense sunlight and heat from the Yin Yin vines after the cold spring.

Su Jixian was lying on the recliner, wearing a snow-white wide-sleeved shirt trimmed with water-blue twigs and lotuses, with a fluffy white cat lying in his arms, each of them closed their eyes and meditated.

Chen Yue was sitting on the stone bench next to him, pounding medicine with a small medicine mortar, and grinding it finely, while Ye Xuan lay on the stone table and looked at her without blinking.

Ye Xuan is also very good-looking. He is dressed in yellow clothes with folded breasts, and the embroidery patterns are exquisite and elegant. The golden silk rope across his forehead makes his eyebrows look like swords. He is firm and clear, and he loves to smile.

Being stared at by him like this, Chen Yue tightened her hand holding the stone pestle, and glanced to the side, Ye Xuan quickly showed a quite bright smile, "I'm making medicine, you lie on your stomach like this, in case the powder flies away What if it gets in your eyes?"

"With Xiaoyue here, what am I afraid of?" Ye Xuan smiled and leaned towards her.

"Cough." Su Jixian coughed lightly, and slightly opened his eyes.

Ye Xuan immediately sat down obediently, three feet away from Chen Yue.

In fact, Su Jixian was one year younger than him, but every time he met him, Ye Xuan felt as if he was standing in front of his senior brother and master, and became inexplicably cute.

Probably - because he is his future brother-in-law?Ye Xuan scratched his head full of puzzlement, saw Chen Yue grinding the medicine powder, smiled and leaned over to help.

"It's the end of April now, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching. Do you want to go to Yangzhou?" Ye Xuan helped her pack the medicine powder. The movements were careful and familiar, and it seemed that it was not the first time he did it. , Zongzi is also delicious, and the red beans and candied dates are stuffed a lot.”

Chen Yue looked at Su Jixian who closed her eyes and fell asleep, her voice softened a bit: "Brother likes salty rice dumplings."

Her voice is very nice, soft and steady, Ye Xuan couldn't help but soften her voice a bit: "Although the taste in the south is sweet, there are salty rice dumplings, and they are delicious."

"That's good. Brother?"

"If you like, we will go tomorrow." Su Jixian caressed the cat in his arms lazily.

Chen Yue nodded, and hesitated, "The court..."

"It doesn't matter, I said go to the south of the Yangtze River to see the sky, just see if there is any flood this year. Heh, maybe you can travel at public expense." Su Jixian stood up yawning, her long hair hanging down her cheeks, her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful Surprisingly, "I'm entering the palace now. If I leave for Yangzhou tomorrow, I should be able to arrive before the Dragon Boat Festival. I won't miss anything."

"Yeah. By the way, when I communicated with Maomao a few days ago, he said that he would go to Yangzhou for the Dragon Boat Festival." After thinking for a while, she added, "Leader Xie won't come, Tianxuan will accompany Maomao film."

Su Jixian raised his eyebrows slightly, "He is idle. Then I will ask Xiaoyu to go to Yangzhou for the Dragon Boat Festival, but Kunlun has not been very peaceful recently, so I'm not sure if he will come."

"If Maomao goes, Brother Yu will go too." Chen Yue put down the bottle and went over to tidy up his long hair and hem, held his wrist and straightened his sleeves, and the slight depression between her brows dissipated.

Ye Xuan was lying on the table listening to them talking, suddenly raised his hand and shook it, and tilted his head on the other arm: "The Xiao Yu you are talking about...is it Mo Yu, the owner of the Evil Valley Shaogu?"

The two nodded, Ye Xuan almost bit his tongue.

Hidden Sword Villa’s attitude towards Evilman’s Valley is not as hostile as other Jianghu sects, but it is also very subtle. After all, Ye Fan, the five masters who smeared the villa and defected, is in Evilman’s Valley, and he is also the disciple of the valley’s owner Wang Yifeng... If If the three uncles know that they have some kind of connection with the villain Gu Shaogu, will their legs be broken?

The author has something to say: In the Tang Dynasty, officials called their official positions directly, and there was no such thing as Mr. xx... Well, I just read what I saw on the post bar. I don’t know exactly what happened.
