Those years when I climbed the wall

The morning light is faint, and the remaining snow in the huge courtyard has almost disappeared.

Lu Chongning lazily stepped into the courtyard gate, without looking up, he knew that those indifferent eyes were staring at him under the opposite eaves—sometimes he really wondered, no matter when he came, he could see him, could it be that this Mu Mu was also like those medicine men, what kind of panacea did he take so that he didn't need to rest and eat?

He walked forward slowly, and that person also came towards him, and the two met in the court.

"Your Majesty hasn't risen yet."

"I know, just wait outside."

"You don't have to come so early every day."

"Your bed in Xingzhou is too hard, I can't sleep."

"……random."

Seeing the back of the other man striding back, Lu Chongning smiled triumphantly, and walked forward slowly.

Going up the steps, leaning against the colonnade with eyes closed and arms folded, there is a deep silence in the ears-boring!It would be great if I could find someone to talk to... A flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I opened my eyes to look at the person standing upright at the bottom of the steps: "General Zeng, has your face been injured?"

"Never!" The predecessor was decisive, but a trace of doubt flashed on his face when he turned back, "Why do you ask?"

"Never..." Holding his forehead, Lu Chongning smiled forcedly, "I thought... it was because of an injury that made your face stiff, which made you look the same."

Only then did he realize that being teased by him, Zeng Wuhua tightened his sword hand, turned around and took a deep breath of cold morning air, his voice returned to indifference: "Don't provoke me."

Feeling confident, Lu Chongning laughed wantonly: "Hey, you can still stare! It seems that you are definitely alive."

Without responding, Zeng Wuhua took a few steps forward.

"Sure enough, it's a piece of sunken wood. The so-called old and unchanging, the name is just like the person!" Lu Chongning murmured to himself from behind.The sound just fell, and suddenly heard a strange movement, followed the sound, and saw a head popping out of the east wall!

There was a sound of drawing swords all around.

Seeing that face clearly, Zeng Wuhua signaled everyone to calm down, and walked to the wall: "Miss Li, Zeng told you yesterday that Mr. Lang has never invited you, so you can't come here without permission."

With her elbows on the wall, the woman took out a melon seed from her sleeve: "I didn't come to see your husband, and I didn't step into the yard, you didn't say yesterday that I'm not allowed to lean against the wall."

The brows of the person under the wall moved slightly: "Dare to ask why the lady came today?"

"What else can she do!" Lu Chongning strode forward, his voice was half contemptuous, half joking: "I'm really annoyed that you didn't let her in, so I came to provoke you early in the morning!"

"Officer Lu's words are wrong." The woman didn't feel annoyed, on the contrary, there was a flattering smile on her face: "What happened yesterday is my fault, the two officials followed orders, no wonder you guys. I thought about it all night, I can't help it I'm sorry, I'm here today to make amends."

"Apologize?" Lu Chongning's eyebrows twitched, as if he didn't believe his ears: "How to make amends?"

Spitting out the melon seed shells in her mouth, Li Qiaoer smiled sincerely: "As usual, I should go to a restaurant and buy a table for the two of you, but unfortunately the current situation does not allow it; I want to give something to express my feelings, but unfortunately I have no money left, so I can't give a heavy gift You don’t have to pay attention to it lightly, so..." One finger raised and scratched the forehead, "After thinking about it, the only thing I can do is to please others! So I thought, young talents like you, after all, like What, or... what is missing?"

"What's missing?" Lu Chongning took two steps forward, full of interest.

Turning her eyes, the smile on the corner of the woman's mouth became more attentive: "It is common for a promising person like you to get married and have children around his knees, and the two officials are still single, so they must be busy with official duties and have no time When it comes to talking, I boldly recommend myself to lead the red line for you—" His eyes left Lu Chongning, and fell on the indifferent person: "Mr. Zeng is calm and dignified, and I want to match a quiet beauty. I just know that there is such a woman. , and you are a match made in heaven!"

Seeing the corner of the person's mouth twitching, Lu Chongning felt inexplicably comfortable, pretending to be surprised and said "Oh", and asked: "Where is this woman coming from?"

The woman raised her chin and talked with great relish: "The Liu family, who makes tofu in our village, has two elders and a daughter, who is only twenty years old and has a beautiful appearance. The most commendable thing is that this family works hard all day long and never has a word of gossip. Since there is no way to quarrel and quarrel, isn't it just in line with Zeng Guan's wishes?"

"Never gossip?" Lu Chongning rubbed his chin, "Is this statement exaggerated? How can there be people who live under the same roof all day long without quarrels?"

The woman smiled and covered her mouth: "It's not that we don't have quarrels, but we can't, because his family is all dumb!"

Without holding back his laughter, Lu Chongning glanced gloatingly at his side.

The person with a sluggish face said: "Miss Li, everything should be done in moderation. Are you going to go down by yourself, or should I send someone out to invite you?"

The woman is interesting: "Come on, come on, let's go naturally after I finish talking, I can't lie here all day and blow the cold wind!" After showing weakness, she turned to the side and reported to the man with a face full of jokes: "Since it's a good thing, I can't favor one over another, just say it Mr. Zeng, I still need a bowl of water to level it out, and then I will be connected with Mr. Lu! By the way..."

With a serious look on his face, Lu Chongning said sharply: "Li Qiaoer, you have enough time, how can people in the public family allow you to tease at will? If you don't restrain yourself, you will definitely regret it!" After saying that, he walked away.But after walking not far, he heard footsteps coming from behind: "Officer Lu, stop." Lu Chongning was angry, and turned around and snorted: "General Zeng didn't deal with the intruder, what did you call me for?"

Looking over his shoulders to the distance, the man said indifferently, "Please trouble Sergeant Lu and persuade Miss Li to leave."

"Teach me..." Lu Chongning felt absurd: "I didn't provoke her, why should I persuade her to leave?"

The person who came looked back: "This woman is making noise here early in the morning, which will inevitably disturb the Lord, but Mr. Shao only said that she is not allowed to enter this courtyard. If she is outside the wall, I will not force her away."

Lu Chongning laughed back angrily: "So, do you want me to go? Why?"

Eyes lowered slightly, there was an extremely faint smile on his face, and he said softly and slowly, "Otherwise, I can only tell my lord that she was recruited by you."

Lu Chongning was annoyed: "When did I recruit her? You framed it maliciously!"

"This woman came after you, and the two of you sang together and joked with me at will, which is common to all. From this, I deduce that the two of you are in conspiracy, but is there something wrong?" The speaker was not in a hurry.

"You..." Lu Chongning was dumbfounded.Momo thought about it for a while, and finally flicked his sleeves resentfully: "Zeng Mutou, I have written down this grudge, you wait." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Going out of the courtyard gate and turning around the east corner, I saw the culprit who seemed to be bored, leaning on the wooden ladder to eat melon seeds.

After spitting out the melon seed shell and clapping her hands, Li Qiaoer's face was stained with spring breeze: "Hey, Mr. Lu, have you changed your mind? Then let me tell you about that woman in detail?"

Ignoring his words, Lu Chongning said coldly: "Don't you have to take care of Ah Nuan? Don't forget that you have established evidence to charge him, and if you ignore it, you will be punished by the law of the country!"

If it is said that Li Qiaoer was shocked by Mu Yunqi's words before because she was in awe, and because she cared for Ah Nuan from the bottom of her heart, then this time, facing Lu Chongning, who has always been serious in her eyes, how can she do it? Still fall for it?For a while, he was careless: "Ah Nuan just fed milk and went to sleep. I took the opportunity to go out and buy cloth with her to make two small jackets. Is it a crime?"

Lu Chongning snorted coldly: "Do you have to carry a ladder when you go out? Let's say you go out from your residence, so you don't need to go around here?"

In exchange for a stare back: "I was stopped by the gatekeepers when I went out. I had to ask you to reason, but I was not allowed to enter this courtyard. I had no choice but to make such a bad plan!"

"It's just to buy a piece of cloth," Lu Chongning gave her a good look, "Do you have to go there yourself?"

"Naturally!" the woman said confidently, "Could it be possible for you to buy it? Would you choose?" Seeing that she was unmoved, she turned around and stepped up the ladder, "Forget it, I know you can't make up your mind, so don't be embarrassed." You, just go up and wait, when you see your husband coming out, just ask him for permission."

"Come down!" Lu Chongning was in a hurry, and quickly stepped forward to drag her down.

She was unstable and almost fell, and the woman was annoyed: "I can't tell what to do between men and women! If you don't let go, I'll call!"

"You..." After being startled, he realized that he was being reckless. Lu Chongning hurriedly let go, gritted his teeth and glared angrily.

He patted the sleeves that had been pulled over by him, and the woman trimmed her hair. Turning her eyes, she restrained her anger, and a sly look slipped out of the corner of her mouth: "You just acted deliberately frivolous. Wouldn't it be an exaggeration to say that you want to sue me?" How about going to your lord?"

His eyes darkened, and Lu Chongning suppressed his anger: "What do you want?"

"No way!" The smiling man pretended to be innocent, "It's just that if someone sees what you did just now, my reputation will be lost, so what are you going to do to make it up?"

"I'm talking nonsense!" Lu Chongning was annoyed, "I just touched your sleeve, so why talk about reputation?"

"You said you were pulling the sleeves, but other people may not think so. At that time, everyone will make money, but you can speak clearly with your empty teeth?" The woman was not in a hurry or ashamed, and walked around him. Walking around for a while: "However, things don't necessarily come to that point, as long as..."

"What exactly do you want?" Lu Chongning had no choice but to give in.

"It's easy to say!" The woman jumped in front of him, "You take me out for a stroll, and this matter has never happened!"

Closing his eyes and sighing, Lu Chongning said helplessly, "Do you know how many people outside want your life?"

Seeing her smile fearlessly: "I know! But I will suffocate to death here, and it is the same death, dying in peace, so that this life is not in vain!" Twisting the black hair hanging down her cheeks, she begged again: "I don't want to die either!" If you go far away, go to a shop in the downtown area to buy two pieces of cloth, and make an appointment before noon, so the assassin will not commit crimes in the street in broad daylight?"

After a long silence, Lu Chongning's face was calm: "Go back and change into men's clothes, make up a little, and wait at the door in half an hour."

Joy rose to the corner of her mouth, the woman nodded sharply, and was about to turn around when she was called to the side by the other, and pointed to the side: "Carry the ladder away."

After half an hour.

When Li Qiaoer walked to the gate of the official house, she saw Lu Chongning standing with her back outside the door. Knowing that he had never broken his promise, she was very happy. With a thought, she tiptoed forward, and then she suddenly called out: "Guard Lu!", and saw him Looking back, her face remained calm, "Here you come? Let's go now."

"Are you going too?" It didn't frighten him to be disappointed, but Li Qiaoer was even more disappointed when he knew that he would go with her. With a little luck, she smiled and declined: "Don't bother the officials, Buzhuang is not far away, I will hurry Go back quickly, I won't trouble you."

"Who says I'm going with you?" The man nodded his chin and stepped down a group of soldiers who were ready to go, "I follow him to patrol the city, and take you along the way, in case of accidents."

"There are so many people?!" Li Qiaoer was dumbfounded.

Lu Chongning was impatient: "Go if you want to go, go back to the house if you don't go, don't make trouble."

Li Qiaoer stomped her feet: "Go, I'll go! You should wait for me!"

Walking through this hundred-foot-long street, there is a cloth shop at the corner, but Li Qiaoer insisted that the goods here were not satisfactory, and followed him to walk two or three streets before choosing a larger one to enter, but pretending to be, Regardless of Lu Chongning's repeated urging, careful selection, repeated bargaining, and repeated hesitation, the latter finally couldn't bear it anymore and left in a huff.

It took about two or three pillars of work to pick and choose. Li Qiaoer peeped out the door, but there was no sign of the brigade, so she paid for the goods, and walked out the door with the spring breeze blowing.

"Okay?" A voice suddenly sounded, and her hands trembled in shock, almost shaking the cloth off.

"You...why are you still here?" Li Qiaoer's almond eyes widened.

"Wait for you!" Lu Chongning pointed his eyes at Lu Lu, "Go back after you buy it."

"Going back now??" Li Qiaoer frowned, showing unwillingness: "You...don't you still want to patrol the city? You don't have to send me off, I'll go back."

However, just like when he came out, the man did not leave room for discussion with her on this matter, he took a step forward and blocked the way: "I will lead you out, I will send you back safely, don't make it difficult for me."

With no other choice, Li Qiaoer had no choice but to submit.

Silence all the way.Li Qiaoer didn't make a sound, but looked around along the way, from time to time, she was attracted by the fruit shop and food shop on the side of the road, and finally she couldn't move in front of a cheese shop, and decided to go in for a rest.Lu Chongning was helpless, after several persuasions, they finally gave in and allowed her to buy two bowls of cheese to bring back to the residence to enjoy.

Fortunately, it is only one or two hundred zhang away from the official building, and I can already see the roof of the Department of Economics and Appeasement.Lu Chongning stood waiting in front of the door, not as uneasy as before.

Although it was not yet noon, the sun had already risen, and Lu Chongning felt quite warm when his whole body was exposed to the sunlight.Looking back at the store, Li Qiaoer was waiting for the cheese to be delivered, she looked demure and quiet, no one could confuse her with that arrogant and willful woman.

With a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, Li Chongning turned his head, his eyes casually glanced at the bustling crowds on the street, and after a while, he suddenly stopped somewhere—the figure on horseback from the south was so familiar!

"Okay, let's go." Li Qiaoer's cheerful voice sounded behind her.

Lu Chongning did not move.

"What's the matter?" Following his gaze, Li Qiaoer was surprised: "Then...isn't Mr. Shao? How could he travel alone?" Looking back at the predecessors, he urged: "Go quickly, don't teach him to see me, lest I Adding extra problems to make him angry."

"You also feel strange?" The predecessor did not move, but said a word.

"What?" Li Qiaoer was taken aback.

"Travel alone." Lu Chongning was vague.

"Oh," Li Qiaoer stomped her feet: "Maybe he is like me, he doesn't like to be restrained, so he will come out and wander alone for a while when he has free time, can't it?"

However, it is obviously difficult to explain the confusion in the other person's heart. He still stares at the approaching figure, and if he inadvertently makes eye contact, he immediately seems to be startled.

"Mr. Shao." Lu Chongning stepped forward and bowed respectfully, and Li Qiaoer followed bitterly.

The visitor glanced over the two of them, suspicious: "Wait, this is..."

"Oh... I came out to buy cloth to make two small jackets for Ah Nuan. Officer Lu is just at my request to accompany me." Li Qiaoer hurriedly answered before Lu Chongning.

Glancing at her, Lu Chongning remained silent.

Fortunately, Shao Jingheng didn't ask any further questions, but just nodded: "It's not peaceful outside, go back earlier."

Hearing this, Li Qiaoer put down a huge stone in her heart, thanked her quickly, and turned her urging eyes to Lu Chongning.The latter raised his eyes: "Sanggong inspected the barracks today, why did he return so early?"

Is this what you should ask?Li Qiaoer's complexion sank, anxious and helpless.

However, unexpectedly, the visitor was not displeased: "The incident happened suddenly, and the secretary had some urgent matters to deal with, so he rushed back early."

"That's it," Lu Chongning turned into a persuasive tone: "Although it is only a few steps away, the city is full of dangers, so it is better for you to bring some guards with you when you go out."

It was extremely difficult to detect a change in his face, and the man still smiled: "I know. But I just returned from the barracks, a few steps away from the military commander, and then dismissed the rest of the people." The important thing is to take a step first, and you will go back quickly." After saying this, he rode his horse and went north with him and others.

Unexpectedly, Lu Chongning caught up and pulled the reins: "My lord, stop!" After a while, "My lord has something to say, I haven't seen you for a few days, if my lord is free, please come to the room to have a drink in the evening."

"Wine talk?" The man immediately smiled cheerfully: "Okay, I've made a note, and I will go tonight if there is nothing to do!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, Lu Chongning's eyes became colder: "In broad daylight, the city is full of officers and soldiers, how dare you pretend to be Shao Jinglue and run amok in the world?!"

"Pretending...pretending??!" Li Qiaoer stared wide-eyed, scrutinized Fanma carefully, and shouted angrily: "Lu Chongning, are you really crazy? If he is not Mr. Shao, who is he?"

"I'm fully awake." The questioned paused every word, his eyes clear: "As for who he is, I'll find out when I bring it back to the military commander for first trial. If I'm not mistaken," he glanced at the woman, "He should be the one you are most familiar with." man of!"

"Familiar..." Shocked, Li Qiaoer looked back at the horse: "You said he is..." Before she finished speaking, she saw the man on the horse bowed his head, approached Lu Chongning and said something lightly, the latter's face suddenly became condensed.

Immediately, the man straightened up: "It's inconvenient to talk here, we'd better find a quiet place to chat."

After thinking about it for a while, Lu Chongning told Li Qiaoer: "You wait here, I will go back when I go!"

After some twists and turns, it was almost noon when Lu Chongning and Li Qiaoer returned to the official residence.Sending Li Qiaoer back to the house, Lu Chongning was very worried, and went back to the east courtyard, but he had no interest in provoking Zeng Wuhua, and stood silently in front of the door, waiting for the call of the Patriarch.

Finally it was noon.

It was a rare time when he woke up and the person was not by his side, Mu Yunqi was still a little uncomfortable, put down the snack soup he brought, and looked at Lu Chongning: "Jing Heng hasn't come back yet?"

The thoughtful person was startled when he heard the words, and replied: "Shao Xianggong is out of the city today to inspect several military camps, and I'm afraid he won't return too early."

Rubbing between his brows, Mu Yun prayed a little frustrated: "Forget it, let's go for a walk in the courtyard."

"Your Majesty!" Lu Chongning crossed his hands: "I have feelings to report!"

"What's the matter?" Listening to the sound and discerning the meaning, Mu Yunqi's heart tightened.

Look at it and bow down: "I made a claim today, or made a big mistake, please forgive me!" He raised his eyes: "I was in the market just now, and let go of the most wanted criminal - Li Tong!"
