Thousands of years

There were tears in Bao Zheng's eyes, but the black face was filled with relief. He looked the person in front of him up and down: "If you are dark, you will lose weight. This journey is far away, and the Zhan guards have suffered. "The four gateposts were also surrounded by Zhan Zhao, not knowing what to say. Only Gongsun Ce found Lin Ruoqing who was standing quietly by the side, stepped forward and said with a smile, "Miss Lin also returned safely?" "Lin Ruoqing nodded with a smile. She was also moved by the scene in front of her heart. At least Zhan Zhao and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion greeted each other like family members. I am afraid that her parents will never see her again in this life. It seemed that she could see the difference in her expression. Changing, Gongsun Ce said: "In the past few days Miss Lin has gone out, Old Man Lin has been here many times, it can be seen that Miss Lin is also very much in his heart. "

That's right, there is a adoptive father who cares about him, and Zhan Zhao, so he should be content.Thinking of this, she smiled gratefully at Mr. Gongsun.

Everyone entered the study room, Lin Ruoqing wanted to salute Mr. Bao, but was stopped by Mr. Bao: "At the beginning, Miss Lin used herself as the exhibition guard and everyone in Kaifeng Mansion in exchange for the antidote. She is very kind to Kaifeng Mansion. If it is about saluting, it should be This mansion is to salute Miss Lin." After that, he really gave Lin Ruoqing a deep bow, Lin Ruoqing was a little at a loss, and waved her hands in a hurry: "Master Bao, you are really upset, Ruoqing also had Selfish."

"Miss Lin, you don't have to be polite. No matter what, it's true that you have been kind to Kaifeng Mansion." Gongsun Ce who was on the side also said sincerely.

Lin Ruoqing said with some embarrassment: "Didn't Lord Zhan go all the way to rescue Ruoqing later?" Speaking of this, Lin Ruoqing stole a glance at Zhan Zhao who was standing aside, her cheeks were faintly hot.

Mr. Bao and Mr. Gongsun looked at each other, and they both understood.

After everyone was seated, Zhan Zhaogang shared his experience in the Western Regions, and then he knelt down on one knee and blamed himself: "This subordinate has not arrested the person behind the infanticide case, please punish me."

Master Bao got up from the desk and came to Zhan Zhao, and helped him up: "Guard Zhan don't say that, it's a blessing to be able to come back safely, not to mention that Guard Zhan rescued Miss Lin, this trip is not in vain. "When Master Bao said this, he glanced at Lin Ruoqing again, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Lin has been traveling very hard for many days, and her leg injury has not healed. The Zhan guards will send Miss Lin home to rest first, and we will talk about the rest later. "

Zhan Zhao clasped his fists in response, Lin Ruoqing also got up to leave, and the two left the Kaifeng Mansion one after the other.

Although Lin Ruoqing's leg injury had basically healed, she still limped a little while walking, Zhan Zhao tried to slow down her pace as much as possible, and walked side by side with her, but stopped reaching out to support her.Lin Ruoqing was dissatisfied, she slowly approached Zhan Zhao, then stretched out her arm to straddle his left arm, Zhan Zhao stopped, looked at her in embarrassment, and wanted to pull out her arm, but Lin Ruoqing hugged him even tighter.

Zhan Zhao's tone was slightly sullen: "What are you doing?"

"My legs aren't good yet, why don't you help me?" Lin Ruoqing shook his arm and began to act like a baby.

Zhan Zhao looked around, there were people coming and going, and some people had already started to look in this direction.He said helplessly, "This is on the street."

"What's wrong with the street?" Lin Ruoqing smiled at Zhan Zhao: "In my hometown, we call it dating. You are my boyfriend and I am your girlfriend. After they all know about our relationship, all those who covet you, Mr. Zhan Women will stay away, won't they?"

Lin Ruoqing looked up at Zhan Zhao triumphantly, Zhan Zhao's expression changed several times, and finally said in a deep voice, "This is Da Song, not your hometown."

"So you don't want to admit our relationship? Forget it." Lin Ruoqing shook off his hand and walked forward pretending to be angry.

Looking at her limping back, Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, shook his head, crossed his sword in his left hand, quickly caught up with her, supported her left arm with his right hand, looked straight ahead, and said in a low voice, "Okay , Zhan must admit to the head office."

Lin Ruoqing smiled contentedly: "It's not too bad."

As the two traveled along the way, many ordinary people greeted Zhan Zhao, and some looked at Lin Ruoqing beside him with unclear expressions. Zhan Zhao responded with a smile while avoiding Lin Ruoqing's body who was getting closer and closer. Awkward and hard.

"Master Zhan, why are you bothering? Just treat me as one of the many women who admire you?" Lin Ruoqing saw his discomfort and smiled lightly.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhan Zhao finally stopped and reprimanded lightly.

Seeing Zhan Zhao's face darken, Lin Ruoqing tactfully shut her mouth, she remembered the lesson from last time and dared not really provoke him.

As the sky was getting dark, the two of them turned a corner and arrived at Old Man Lin's house. Lin Ruoqing let go of Zhao's hand and knocked on the door impatiently.

"Who is it?" came the old voice.

"Father, it's me." Lin Ruoqing's eyes became moist instantly, and she spoke with a choked voice.

The door was half opened, and old man Lin appeared at the door with a slightly stooped figure. When he saw the person in front of him, he first rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

"Father, I'm Ruoqing, I'm back." Lin Ruoqing couldn't stop her tears.

"Ruoqing, it's really you, are you really back?"

Lin Ruoqing nodded with tears in her eyes, and the old man Lin also burst into tears with joy. He thought that the daughter he lost in this way really came back, and God really treated him well.He opened the door, saw Zhan Zhao at the side just now, wiped the tears off his face and said, "Master Zhan?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and called, "Uncle Lin, Mr. Zhan said that Miss Lin would definitely come back." At this moment, old man Lin couldn't say anything other than nodding his head.Zhan Zhao glanced at Lin Ruoqing again and said, "You father and daughter haven't seen each other for a long time, so you must have a lot to say, so Zhan will leave first." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.

"Hey." Lin Ruoqing couldn't help but make a sound, Zhan Zhao's figure paused but he didn't turn his head and continued to walk forward.

Lin Ruoqing looked at the straight back and curled her lips, thinking: "Sure enough, as soon as I come back, I will become a serious Master Zhan."

Next, Lin Ruoqing was very busy preparing various items for the Dragon Boat Festival. Firstly, she made zongzi, xiangtangzi, white balls, etc. and sold them in the store. Second, she prepared the pu-leaf wormwood and other evil-proof items for her own use. From this, Lin Ruoqing knew There are so many customs of the Dragon Boat Festival in the Northern Song Dynasty, and because of Lin Ruoqing's return, old man Lin cheered up again, tidying up the shop and buying ingredients, he was extremely busy.

In the past two days, old man Lin discovered that Lin Ruoqing would sometimes become dazed unconsciously while working, and sometimes she would suddenly giggle by herself, and also found that she would often look at the door of the store, feeling strange, but not Good to ask.

The third day was the fourth day of the lunar new year. Lin Ruoqing and her daughter were sweating profusely selling zongzi and other snacks outside the store. Lin Ruoqing looked up and saw a red figure passing by the crowd. She threw the snacks away , Pushed aside the crowd and chased them out.

"Zhan Zhao." Lin Ruoqing shouted, but her feet didn't stop.Dahong's figure stopped abruptly, and she turned her head slowly. Lin Ruoqing came limping in front of her. Zhan Zhao looked down at her. Because of the hot and busy weather, her smooth forehead was covered with beads of sweat. The shattered hair on the side was close to his face, his cheeks were slightly flushed, and the corners of Zhan Zhao's lips couldn't help but slightly curled up: "The leg injury is all healed, why are you running so fast?"

"Isn't it all due to you, I haven't seen anyone for so many days." Lin Ruoqing suppressed the urge to throw herself into his arms, and complained in a low voice.

The smile on Zhan Zhao's lips deepened: "It's only been two days."

"Yeah, it's only been two days, Mr. Zhan is very patient." Lin Ruoqing played with her broken hair hanging on her chest, and gave the person in front of her a light look.

Zhan Zhao suppressed a smile and said, "Zhan is going to patrol the streets today, and tomorrow Dragon Boat Festival will accompany Lord Bao to accompany the Holy Master to watch the dragon boat race at Jinming Pond." When he said this, he paused, and it was obvious that Lin Ruoqing's mouth was pouting more and more. The higher the voice, the softer the voice: "Tomorrow night when I have free time, I will come to look for you."

Lin Ruoqing gave him a hard look, and said with a bit of sourness: "Master Zhan, you are busy, and the daughter of the people will not delay your patrolling the streets." As she spoke, she blessed Zhan Zhao, turned around and left in a fit of anger.

Zhan Zhao watched her back enter the store, hidden in the crowd, and finally couldn't help but chuckle.

Dragon Boat Festival

Zhan Zhao had not had an easy two days. First he went to the palace with Master Bao to face the saint, and told the truth about what he had gained from the trip to the Western Regions. Zhao Zhen was generous and didn't say anything, but he couldn't stand Grand Master Pang stirring up the flames, so he ordered the Kaifeng Mansion We must find the murderer, and punish Zhan Zhao with three months' salary for dereliction of duty.

After returning to Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao handed over the letter he had found from Chu Tianyi to Lord Bao, and discussed with Gongsun Ce and the three of them. They all felt that Grand Master Pang was the most suspicious of this matter, so Lord Bao secretly sent someone to keep an eye on it. Grand Master's Mansion.

Zhan Zhao asked Mr. Gongsun privately if he had ever heard of Xiling Palace. Hearing the name, Gongsun Ce was taken aback for a moment, and then showed Zhan Zhao the historical materials from a few years ago. After reading it, Zhan Zhao was very surprised. It turns out that Xiling Palace helped Xixia deal with Song Dynasty in Songxia's Haoshuichuan battle a few years ago, no wonder it sounds so familiar.

This Xiling Palace is actually the enemy of Song Dynasty, so will Chu Tianyi go to seek refuge with Xixia?Could it be that Xixia's secret work in the Song Dynasty revealed the news of her going to the Western Regions to Chu Tianyi?Things seemed to be getting more and more complicated, and Zhan Zhao couldn't figure it out for a while, so he could only be ordered to investigate from the Grand Master's Mansion first.

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Ruoqing was so busy that her feet barely touched the ground. At noon, the weather was hot, and the number of talents gradually decreased. Lin Ruoqing was sitting in a corner with her chin resting on her hand and was falling asleep when Bai Yutang, dressed in white, suddenly barged in. Seeing thin sweat on his face, he shouted in a panic: "Lin girl."

Lin Ruoqing woke up suddenly, seeing that it was Bai Yutang, she said disapprovingly, "Fifth Master Bai is here
