Frost shines on Qingcheng

The dew was deeper, and Lu Yuanzheng, who had rushed back from Qingcheng overnight, was covered with a layer of fine dewdrops.

"Father..." Lu Qingrong's voice was a little hoarse in the middle of the night.

Lu Yuanzheng took off his cloak and sat down at the table. The maids poured water and brought it up.Xu was exhausted day and night, he drank the water in the cup before speaking: "Zhao Yueyao seems to have completely given up on Shen Wanrong, neither willing to form an alliance with us, nor to hand over what we want."

Lu Qingrong has no interest in this, and now she is actually too busy to take care of herself.She said: "It is precisely because she is unwilling to use brute force to seize her feelings, so that thing has become her last thought for Shen Wanrong. If you want her thought, how can she agree?"

"When——you know her so well?" Lu Yuanzheng's tone was a little strange.

Lu Qingrong smiled: "If I can't stay with the one I love, I must be in the same mood as Zhao Yueyao."

Lu Yuanzheng stood up and said helplessly: "From the day you got the Gu worm, you should have known that you have lost the right to love someone. Let alone Shen Shuang's photo, even if you love an ordinary man, you will suffer ……all the same."

Lu Qingrong lowered her eyes and said quietly: "I know, but it's a pity that people can't control their emotions."

"It's me and your mother who are sorry for you." Lu Yuanzheng felt guilty after all, "I have comforted myself countless times in my heart, if Gu worms can make you stay away from love in the world, it might not be a good thing, after all, it is too hurtful It's just... but now it seems that I am naive, who can easily get rid of the seven emotions and six desires?"

The corners of Lu Qingrong's lips under the veil twitched mockingly: "But you can't tolerate me and Shen Shuangzhao."

Lu Yuanzheng remained silent.

"Forget it, let's not talk about that." Lu Qingrong took the initiative to end the topic, "Let's talk about Zhao Yueyao."

"What can she say? In short, I must get what I want. As for the method, it doesn't matter."

Lu Qingrong: "You met Luo Qi. If Zhao Yueyao still refuses to cooperate, Dad, will you go to Luo Qi?"

"Yes." Lu Yuanzheng gave an affirmative answer, "Among the three cities, Bihai City is far away from Shahai, but the conflict of interest is the smallest. If we join forces with Luoqi, Shahai can get more."

As if she was tired of fighting and intrigue all of a sudden, Lu Qingrong was so negative that she didn't want to say a word.She said, "Father, you can make a decision."

"I know you're tired. You're resting in the sand sea during this time. I'll take care of other things. Also, I'm going there tomorrow."

The "that place" in his mouth was clear to Lu Qingrong.She seemed to think of something, and said abruptly: "I don't have any good feelings for Luo Qi, if possible, we should stay away from her."

Lu Yuanzheng walked out of the hall, his deep voice echoed in the hall: "I don't think we can get rid of her."

Really can't get rid of it.Lu Qingrong subconsciously covered her heart. She seemed to have nothing to do at the moment, unless...

-----------------------------------

Luo Qi sat on Shen Wanrong's right hand, holding a cup of freshly brewed tea in his hand.

"Miss Luo, I had a meeting with Sect Master Luo a few days ago. I don't know if he mentioned something to you..." Shen Wanrong was circumspect, even asking questions cautiously.

Luo Qi took a sip of tea, with a bright and decent smile: "Of course I know. Although he is the suzerain of Bihai City, in terms of seniority, I am his older sister after all. Is there any reason not to let me know about life-long events?" ?”

Shen Wanrong also smiled unnaturally: "Then... what does Miss Luo think?"

Tang Mengxuan and Sang Yu sat on the lower left side of Shen Wanrong, facing Luo Qi.When it comes to this matter, although they are in different moods, they are both quite nervous.

Luo Qi put the lid on the teacup unhurriedly, and the smile on his face didn't change a bit: "Miss Shen has a beautiful face, a docile personality, and her talent and learning are not inferior to my younger brother. Such a girl is very cute. People like it."

Hearing what she said, Shen Wanrong's heart was suspended in an instant, but she still managed to remain calm on her face.Sang Yu lowered her head slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Under the cover of the teacup, Luo Qi's eyes turned around the people present seemingly inadvertently.She put down the teacup: "It's a pity that I'm afraid that my younger brother won't be good enough for Miss Shen, let alone..." Her tone was deliberately drawn out, "I heard that Miss Shen already has a sweetheart, even if I mentioned it to her , I'm afraid Miss Shen won't agree, right?"

"Where is Miss Luo, Sect Master Luo is very nice, but I feel that my family Shuangzhao is stubborn and stubborn by nature, and she can't afford such a big responsibility as the Sect Master's wife."

Luo Qi stood up, and said again: "In that case, let's stop with the marriage. Luo Ji and I came here this time more in the hope of benefiting the people of the two cities. I heard from A Ji that the two The matter of city exchanges has been discussed with the city lord last time. Although I am a little girl, I don't understand this very well, but I know that it is better to implement things earlier. City lord, what do you think? "

"It's something that benefits the people, and I hope it can be realized as soon as possible. After the two cities conclude a book repair, they can communicate with each other." Luo Qi said that the marriage was over, and Shen Wanrong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Sang Yu looked the same, the hand hanging by her side was tightly clenched.Luo Qi took this little action in his eyes calmly.

……

"Is Sect Master Luo's wind and cold better?" Shen Wanrong asked on the way to send Luo Qi out, "Why don't I drop by to see him."

Luo Ji was slapped by Luo Qi, his face was swollen like a steamed bun, and the swelling finally subsided, so he didn't dare to go out in the past few days, so he had to lie to the outside world that he was recovering from the cold in the palace.

"The illness is almost recovered, and it has caused trouble for the city lord these few days. The suzerain can continue to discuss with the city lord tomorrow. As for the visit - the city lord, please stay a little longer, I am afraid that he will catch the wind and cold that is about to recover. You." The tactful Luo Qi did a better job than anyone else in refusing such things from others, she stopped, "The city lord can just send it here, please stay."

After saying goodbye, Sang Yu happened to walk with Luo Qi.Along the way, the two faced each other in silence.

"Doesn't it feel good to be stepped on and unable to get up?" Luo Qi looked ahead, but the words in his mouth were meant for Sang Yu.

Sang Yu sneered: "Is it funny to ridicule others?"

Luo Qi stopped and turned to face her: "It's not interesting. It's just that there are too many unfair things in this world. I will inevitably feel a little emotional when I see it, and even... sympathize." She said the last two words meaningfully profound.

Such words can always poke other people's pain, but Sang Yu looked very calm, deliberately walked around her side, and said without looking back: "Miss Luo's emotion and sympathy are useless to me."

"If you get the chance, don't hesitate. You must climb up desperately." Luo Qi still stood where he was, and after speaking, he glanced at Sang Yu's back and left quietly.

……

Shen Shuangzhao hid in the quiet small pavilion by herself, lying on the stone table with her face pressed against her arm.She stared at the red rope in her left hand in a daze, fingering the little silver bell intentionally or unintentionally.

She said she was in a daze, but in fact her thoughts went to Lu Qingrong's side.Sorrow, worry, she waited for so long to meet Lu Qingrong, how could a short night of rubbing hands together satisfy her heart that was burning with love?What's worse is that the next meeting between her and Lu Qingrong seems to be far away.

"Alas..." Shen Shuangzhao sighed, and closed her eyes weakly, completely sinking into despair.

Luo Ji wandered around blindly by himself and ended up wandering to a place he didn't know at all. The inner city of Shuilan City was like a maze, no matter how he walked, he couldn't get out.When he was in despair, he heard a sigh. He looked around and saw a girl leaning sideways on the stone table in the pavilion.He hurried forward and whispered: "Girl, may I ask..."

As soon as the words started, Shen Shuangzhao jumped up upon hearing the sound, and deftly turned Luo Ji to the table with his backhand.

"Oh, what are you doing, girl? I just want to ask for directions." Luo Ji grinned in pain, not expecting this girl's hands to be so strong.

Shen Shuang heard that his voice was familiar, and took a closer look, only to realize that this was the so-called "cold" Luo Ji.She hastily let go of Luo Ji, and said in a cold voice: "Didn't Sect Master Luo suffer from the wind and cold? It's better for Sect Master to come out less in this early spring weather."

It took Luo Ji a lot of effort to get up straight from the stone table. The half of his face that was slapped by Luo Qi before was now pressed against the stone table by Shen Shuangzhao.He covered his face, and stared at Shen Shuangzhao resentfully: "Miss Shen, you need to have more eyes, I can be regarded as an assassin by you even if I ask for directions with nice words, you will kill me unjustly."

His words were reasonable, Shen Shuangzhao restrained her hostility, and said: "I'm really sorry, but few people come to this place, and you are a man, so I have to guard against it."

Luo Ji covered his face, unable to say anything, he could only cry for grievances with his eyes.

Shen Shuang looked at him, and saw that something was wrong.She raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Did I strike so hard? Your face is a little swollen."

Hearing this, Luo Ji hurriedly turned his back, his expression became serious: "Stop talking nonsense, my face is fine."

Shen Shuangzhao saw that the corner of his mouth was scabbed again, and after a moment of speculation, he made a judgment: "It looks like you've been slapped, Sect Master Luo, your face and the corner of your mouth must have been slapped by Luo Qi, right?" Here, the only one who dared to attack Luo Ji was Luo Qi.

Luo Ji, who was caught in the truth, felt pain in his heart, and wanted to leave quickly.

Shen Shuangzhao smiled: "I knew it, your ruthless snake and scorpion sister really can do it..."

Luo Ji hastily reached out his hand to cover Shen Shuangzhao's mouth, and warned in a low voice: "Miss Shen, you should be careful, if she hears this, you and I will suffer."

"Hmm..." Shen Shuangzhao pushed him away violently, "Don't be rude to a man and a woman whether they want to kiss each other or not. You are afraid of Luo Qi, but I am not. I am too lazy to get involved with your siblings." , she left a little sullenly.

"Miss Shen! Just wait for me, I don't know the way..."

When Luo Ji returned to the palace, Luo Qi was already sitting in the hall.When Luo Ji saw it, he hurriedly leaned over to salute.

"Where did you go?" Luo Qi's voice couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger, "With this half swollen face, you really dare to go out."

Luo Ji lowered his head and didn't say a word.

"I did hit hard, and I apologize to you. It's just, Ah Ji, I hope you remember that without my permission, don't make any claims."

"Aji remembered."

Luo Qi narrowed his eyes, and the events of a few days ago were over like this: "Where did you go just now? I haven't seen anyone for a long time."

Luo Ji didn't dare to hide anything, and told in detail how he lost his way and how he was scuffled by Shen Shuangzhao in the pavilion as an assassin.

"You, you, are always bullied by her."
