Rebellious officials bow their heads

Xu Yan walked towards him, "How long do you want to lock us up?"

He Liancheng turned around again when he heard this, and continued to lift the wooden box lid, "Some of those are medicinal wine, he can drink even strong wine, don't need to pay too much attention to taboos, we rely on a pot of strong wine in winter Wine warms the body against the wind and cold."

Xu Yan glanced at Xie Linze who was looking at the wine jar by the wooden table, "What happened to the Frost on him?"

"He has learned martial arts before and his foundation is not bad, otherwise he won't be able to survive now. It would be good to ask the witch doctor to practice mother-child Gu a few more times to clear out the residual poison in the blood. However, it is very difficult to practice and it takes time, so I did it Did not let you go."

Xu Yan said lightly: "Does staying here mean house arrest?"

He Liancheng stroked his curly hair on his head irritably, "You two are my bloody captives! Do the captives understand? Where did all these questions come from?"

"If you really treat them as prisoners, you can kill us if you catch us, but you can't, you don't want to provoke a war between Beiluo and Dazhao, right?"

He Liancheng was poked to the core by the calm words, choked for a while before saying: "What's the matter?"

"Then meet our requirements. We are not living comfortably, and you can't live in peace either."

He Liancheng stared at him with wide eyes, "Have you figured out whose territory you're bragging about?"

Xu Yan sneered, and looked at the wooden box the other party had been swinging. Inside was covered with thick soil, and there were clusters of white flowers with unfurled branches and leaves.It has just been poured with water, and there are stars shining in the simple elegance, exuding an indescribable smell, like a mellow wine smell, mixed with many drinks on the wooden table, it is difficult to distinguish, if it is not for him standing here It took a while to distinguish the source of the smell.

"Is the scent of flowers the smell of wine?" he asked.

"Did you smell it?" He Liancheng said proudly, "I have spent all my time and effort to raise it. It is called Shenxiu. It is a rare medicinal herb. The flower contains the fragrance of wine. Only Beiluo can produce it. two."

Xu Yan's heart moved slightly, "Is this flower edible?"

"Of course, do you know how difficult it is to raise such a precious thing..." He Liancheng had a bad feeling, "Wait, what do you want?"

Xu Yan was noncommittal, his eyes moved away from Shen Xiuhua, and fell on Xie Linze on the other side. The other party's attention was on the wine jar, and he didn't notice what they were talking about at all.

Xie Linze pulled out the cork, lowered his head and sniffed. To his surprise, the aroma of the wine was not as strong as ordinary spirits, but filled with an orchid-like scent, with a faint medicinal smell.

He noticed that his eyes were on him, so he looked up, and when he saw Xu Yan, he put down the wine jar and walked over, "How is the discussion going?"

He Liancheng closed the lid of the wooden box, stood up straight, folded his arms and said, "Xie Linze, we haven't seen each other for many years, I kindly helped you untangle Foluosan, but you are better off, and you pretend to be a puppet to avenge your favor. Shouldn't it be calculated?"

"How do I know if you have ulterior motives?" Xie Linze smiled a little. He stood in front of the stone window, and the sunlight that poured in melted and glowed, outlining his outline. One side of his face was immersed in the warm light like warm jade.

"Unpredictable intentions? I have told you clearly and frankly." He Liancheng spread his hands.

"Is that so? I think you stayed with us not only because of your good intentions to help me relieve Foluosan, but also because if Dazhao did not have the emperor, the court would be in chaos, right?" Xie Linze said slowly, narrow eyes Eyes staring at each other.

"Jizhao is in chaos, you are quite happy to see it succeed?"

He Liancheng coughed a few times, and changed the topic very bluntly, "What did you just say? You are going out, right? Yes, but only in the north, there are patrol teams guarding other places, don't think about it. It is also for your own good to leave or move around at will, after all, it will be troublesome if it is discovered by Fei Lian's staff."

Xie Linze turned his gaze away, and exchanged a glance with Xu Yan.

"It's not bad today. It's rare that the sun is out. I'll take you around Luling, just to stretch your muscles and bones." He Liancheng said to the two people in front of him, "What are you still standing for? Wear something thicker and prepare to go."

The two left the stone room. Xie Linze thought that a cotton robe was enough, so Xu Yan put on a snow-white fox fur cloak, and walked out under the leadership of the guards, stepping on the icy snow. The face was white, and several guards were riding on horseback with bows and arrows on their backs, and He Liancheng's voice was heard shouting from a distance: "Beauty, come here quickly!"

Xie Linze was still confused, when he saw that He Liancheng was squatting on the ground, waving at three tall and fierce mastiffs.

The whole body of the Tibetan Mastiff was reddish-brown, with a thick mane. When it galloped, its limbs were strong and powerful, like a small lion, it rushed into He Liancheng's arms, the momentum made him fall to the ground, he sat up with a loud laugh, and stretched out his palm Smooth down the mastiff's fur.

He turned his head and saw Xie Linze and Xu Yan, stood up and said, "This is my beauties, their sense of smell is not bad, you better not run around."

"That's a lot to talk about." Xie Linze stopped looking at him, patted Xu Yan beside him, and continued walking forward.

The rocks at the foot of Luling are jagged and scattered, and a few branches of wintersweet extend from the cracks of the rocks. The rhizomes are like splashed ink, and the pale yellow petals have not yet fully bloomed. They are dotted in the snow, with a faint fragrance and sparse shadows.

Wanshu Songluo Wanduoyin, a group of people walked unhurriedly, leaving a series of black footprints, the three mastiffs spread their hooves first and rushed out, the scenery of Luling pine forest is extremely beautiful, and the world is covered with snow , Flawless and quiet, Yushu Qiongzhi, occasionally the wind passes by, the snow on the branches falls all over the sky, like white pear blossoms.

Xie Linze raised his head when he heard the birdsong, and saw a few silver-throated long-tailed tits squatting on the tree, small fluffy balls, not afraid of strangers when they saw people, chirping.

He saw that the tit was about to fly down, and wanted to touch it, so he took his hand out of the fox-fur muff, and the tit fell down, and before it stopped on his fingertips, He Liancheng came over suddenly, and flew away in shock tit.

"What's so interesting about sparrows? Let me tell you, there is a hot spring on the top of Luling Mountain, and I even asked someone to build a wooden house. Do you want to go and have a look?" He Liancheng said with pride, "You don't have such a view in the Central Plains. Bar?"

Before he could finish his words, there was a bang, and a huge snowball exploded on his face!

He Liancheng's voice was stuck in his throat, and the broken snow was scattered. He saw Xie Linze in front of him grab another ball of snow from the ground, weighed it in his hand, and immediately stepped aside, shouting: "Beauty——"

There was another dog barking in the forest, and it was getting closer, Xie Linze had no time to look back, when something threw him behind him, and he rolled down the hillside immediately!

Seeing He Liancheng's loud laughter, Xu Yan on the other side hurried down and saw the man lying motionless on the snow, his hood dropped, and his black hair shockingly scattered on the snow, as if he had passed out. Hugging him up in a panic, "Linze, you—"

The back of the neck was suddenly stuffed with a ball of snow, which fell into the robe, and the warm robe was suddenly immersed in biting ice. The feeling was so frightening that he froze immediately.

The man in Xu Yan's arms opened his eyes at some point, hooked his neck, and laughed narrowly, "Yan'er, don't be so nervous."

The next moment Xu Yan moved stiffly and threw him on the ground. Seeing that he lost his temper, Xie Linze stopped messing around and got up to pull his arm, "Don't be angry, can I help you take out the snow? "

Xu Yan shook off his hand and walked forward without looking back.

Xie Linze had never seen this reaction before, so he was humiliated and followed behind and said, "What's the matter? I'll let you stuff it once too!"

Xu Yan continued to walk forward in silence.

"Don't ignore me anymore? Isn't it just a joke?" Xie Linze saw that he was ignoring others, and his temper also came up, and he grabbed a ball of snow and threw it at him.

However, Xu Yan would not let him hit him at all, and went to the side to talk to He Liancheng.

Xie Linze felt even more unbalanced now, if he couldn't hit Xu Yan, he would go straight to hit the culprit, He Liancheng.

He Liancheng was hit several times in a row, his whole head was covered with snow scum, he cursed angrily, and rushed over as if to fight him desperately, but the opponent's attack was too fierce, the crackling snowballs were too much to deal with, he just Can hide behind a tree and roar at Xu Yan angrily, "You don't care!"

Xu Yan stood aside expressionlessly.

He Liancheng could only call for help: "Beauty, go and bite him—!"

Following his command, two brown-red mastiffs rushed forward fiercely, Xu Yan's expression changed, but it was too late to go by now.

The mastiff rushed towards Xie Linze like a bamboo shoot, showing its sharp teeth, saliva flying across the air, and then rubbed its furry head against his calf.

Xie Linze was stunned, then squatted down, patted the mastiff's head, "Good boy."

He Liancheng felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and he hated the rebellious mastiff, "How could this happen?"
