Is it an illusion to always be loved by NPCs? [Quick Transmigration]

Jiang Mi finished catching fish in the middle of the night, and carried the wooden bucket full of fish back to the small courtyard, and then returned to the lake.

His long reddish-brown hair spread out in the deep lake, and it was midnight now, perhaps because of the continuous heavy rain in the past few days, the dark clouds rolled in the sky, completely covering the bright moonlight.

The people around had also rested early, except for a few chirping insects and birds, the distance was very quiet.

Jiang Mi's vertical green pupils looked out through the slightly rippling water surface, but there was no human voice nearby, and Jiang Mi's detection was very clear.

With a flick of the blue fish tail under him, Jiang Mi quickly swam towards the shore. He propped his paws on the shore, bringing out wet watermarks, and sat back on the weed-covered shore.

Jiang Mi raised his tail fin, his eyes were very serious, and he used the tip of his claws to rub a little mud embedded in the lines of the tail fin, and the ethereal shark's yarn drooped and hung aside.

If the fish tail is not washed for a long time, it will be stained with mud, so Jiang Mi will wash the tail from time to time.

While washing, there was a sudden sound of clear and rapid horseshoes in the distance.

Jiang Mi could hear clearly that the sound of the horse's hooves was far away from him, but he didn't quite understand why someone in this small town was so hasty to pick up a horse in the middle of the night.

Without thinking about it, Jiang Mi washed the fish tail and slowly immersed himself in the lake to rest.

But what Jiang Mi didn't know was that the man riding the horse in the middle of the night was a member of the county magistrate's faction, so he went to inform Futai that he suspected to have captured the bandit leader Li Hai.

-

Until the second day.

Yue Liang went back to the small courtyard where Jiang Man lived.

At this time, she looked relaxed, her silky winking eyes contained tears, her slender fingers half-covered her red lips, yawning continuously, and her long gauze dress was tainted with the pungent smell of alcohol.

Jiang Man seemed to be used to Yue Liang's drunken appearance, so she didn't make a statement, and brought out a bowl of hangover soup from the kitchen with ease, and handed it to Yue Liang.

"Senior, drink the soup."

Yue Liang gave her a charming smile, and poked her eyes like small hooks, "You still stick to my heart."

Jiang Man put her arms on the table, her eyes widened slightly as if puzzled, "Senior, I forgot to ask you, can demons get drunk too."

Yue Liang took a sip of hangover soup, his body tilted as if he had no bones, "Of course I won't get drunk, just have a taste."

The two talked for a while.

Then, Jiang Man seemed to remember something, sat up straight all of a sudden, and pointed to the large water tank in the corner, "By the way, senior, Ami sent the fish last night, but he hasn't come back yet..."

Yue Liang shook his hands, with a meaningless expression, and took another sip of hangover soup while talking, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone in the world is busy today, but we monsters will be fine, don't worry..."

Before she finished speaking, Yueliang's expression froze for a moment, her movements stopped, and she immediately put down the porcelain bowl in her hand.

With blue eyes looming, Yue Liang quickly glanced in the direction of the courtyard gate.

This is an alley, and it is common for people to come and go on weekdays.

But at this time, there were bursts of footsteps coming from the entrance of the alley, as well as the sound of scabbards colliding.

Yue Liang's sloppy expression withdrew, and she turned to look at Jiang Man.

"Hmm... There may be quite a few people who have come here. They probably came to look for us. It's fine."

Jiang Man froze, "Is someone here?"

Yue Liang thought she was afraid, so he stepped forward and patted her hand lightly, "Don't worry, I'm a demon, there's nothing I can't handle."

After a while, there were sparse footsteps, leading to the gate of Jiang Man's small courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, the door was knocked.

After Jiang Man realized it, she got up and went to open the door.

Yueliang lowered his eyes and stopped her with his hands, "I'll go, don't move here."

Jiang Manliu frowned slightly, knowing that it might be a troublesome matter, she sat on the chair and didn't get up again, she looked at Yue Liang's leaving back with a little uneasiness in her eyes, and grabbed the undercloth skirt tightly with both hands.

Yue Liang fiddled with the long hair hanging down his shoulders with cool eyes, but the courtyard door was knocked louder and harder, showing the impatience of the knocker.

Yue Liang moved lightly, still unhurriedly, stepped forward and slowly opened the courtyard door.

When I opened the door, I saw two officers and soldiers in robes and soap boots with swords across their waists.

The two officers and soldiers were full of impatience, their thick eyebrows were furrowed, and they opened their mouths to reprimand, but when they saw Yue Liang, they suddenly froze again.

The corner of Yue Liang's mouth was pressed down, and her head was lowered halfway, revealing her slender and pale neck. Her voice was low and weak, "I don't know that the two officials came here, and the daughter of the people has neglected you."

The two men opened their mouths for a few words, then one of them seemed to react, snorted his face with his hands, and coughed twice.

"Cough... We are the ones who bothered you. We were ordered to search for bandit gangs. Please forgive me. If you dare to ask the girl's family, do you have a tooth card?"

Yue Liang suppressed the coolness in his eyes, raised his head, and glanced aside timidly, "There are three members of Minnv's family, all brothers and sisters, and the tooth card is in the house. Minnv will fetch it here, is it possible?"

The officers and soldiers scratched their heads and said with a naive smile, "I'm still bothering the girl."

Yueliang smiled at them again, turned around and walked into the house.

Jiang Man was raising her head at this time, looking out anxiously, seeing Yue Liang came back, she hurried up to meet him.

"Senior, you are back, what happened?"

Yue Liang smiled reassuringly at her, "It's nothing, I'm here to catch bandits, it has nothing to do with us, just come to see our tooth cards."

Jiang Man breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it's okay, I keep the tooth card in the house, I'll go over and get it."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Man picked up the skirt at a trot, walked to the inner room, and hurriedly found out the tooth tags of the three from the wooden cabinet.

Yue Liang smiled and took it, "Okay, I'll send it over to show them."

Yue Liang returned to the gate of the courtyard, smiled lightly and handed over the three tooth cards in his hand.

The officers and soldiers smiled embarrassedly, took it over, and looked through it. There is indeed nothing wrong with the tooth card. It is a real identity card, and there is no fraud.

The officer and soldier returned the tooth card, and just as he was about to leave, the companion next to him secretly kicked him.

Then the man looked at Yue Liang, with a smile on his face, "May I trouble you to call out your sisters and brothers, so we can have a better look, but you're right, this is also an order, there is no other way."

Jiang Man was leaning against the door, carefully listening to the movement outside the house.

At this moment, upon hearing this, she paused, lifted the curtain and walked out, walking towards Yueliang.

Jiang Man hung her hands in front of her body, smiled shyly and nodded her head, her words were a little hesitant, "Officer, Minnv is her sister, and Minnv's younger brother is still working outside. Can’t come back, what… what should I do?”

The officers and soldiers looked at Jiang Man and waved their hands again and again, "Hey, it's all right, we will come again in the evening, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Man's expression seemed relieved, and she stood beside Yue Liang, "I need to trouble the officials."

After a while, the courtyard door closed again.

Jiang Man and Yue Liang returned to the house, just waiting for Jiang Mi to come back.

Jiang Mi had already left the lake and returned to the shore at this time, and walked towards the small courtyard. He slept in the water for a long time last night, and the people around him gradually became lively and lively.

It took Jiang Mi a while to avoid being seen and left.

As soon as he walked to the front of the alley, he saw a group of officers and soldiers standing in front of many houses, talking to each other.

Jiang Mi's footsteps stopped, and he also heard clearly what the officers and soldiers said in the distance.

He was talking about arresting bandits, and it seemed that it had something to do with Li Hai who fled here.

Jiang Mi knew in his heart that these people were not here for him.

He didn't show any hesitation, and continued to walk towards the alley calmly.

Just halfway through the journey, there was the cry of horses behind them, and the officers and soldiers who were going from house to house immediately turned around and walked over.

Jiang Mi glanced back casually.

In the distance, the leader was seen riding a tall horse, wearing a military officer's robe, and stopped in front of the alley.

It is a strange face, never seen before.

Just as Jiang Mi was about to look away, he seemed to meet the sight of a military officer riding a horse in the distance, and it was only for a moment.

He didn't think much, and continued to walk away.

On the other hand, the man on the tall horse had a stunned and suspicious look on his face. He tightened his hand on the reins, ignoring the kicking and stamping of the horse under him, and looked at the back of the crowd and his profile for a moment.

An accompanying official called him softly behind him, "Master Futai, Master Futai?"

The young man called Master Futai was Ren Zhize, and he was a son of a family who had attended the banquet of Changhua Palace.

At that banquet, he almost had a deep memory of Jiang Mi, he remembered Jiang Mi's face firmly, and thought that if he met in the future, he would have to give way to Jiang Mi.

But before it was too late, the male servant who was highly regarded by His Majesty seemed to disappear out of thin air.

There is no such person around His Majesty anymore, and His Majesty has become increasingly gloomy, but his bloodthirsty and brutal temperament has improved a lot.

Since a few months ago, the left prime minister of the court was suddenly imprisoned, and the direction of the court changed instantly.

All the members of the leftist party were replaced, and the new officials who were replaced were appointed by His Majesty himself.

Ren Zhize's family was declining day by day, the official positions of his father's generation were crossed over, and it was difficult to intervene in matters large and small between the DPRK and China.

But he himself was recommended to His Majesty by his father at the beginning, and he has been to this day, sitting in the current position.

Ren Zhize had also heard about that male waiter. He said that when His Majesty went to Jingshanfu Palace to escape the summer heat, he was assassinated on his way, and the male waiter disappeared. Some people suspected that he died during the chaos.

But later, Ren Zhize heard that His Majesty still sent a large number of people in private to find someone secretly. Ren Zhize didn't pay attention to the next thing.

But until today, after discussing the matter with the county magistrate, he confirmed that the injured man who inexplicably appeared in the ancestral hall was the bandit leader, Li Hai.

After Ren Zhize settled the matter of the bandit leader, the next step was to escort Li Hai back to Beijing. In order to see how his subordinates were doing the investigation and search, and if there were any suspects, Ren Zhize took time to come over again.

Then, he saw the person who looked like the missing male waiter in the crowd.

He didn't seem to come back to his senses until the subordinates around him called him a few times. He looked at the male waiter who had disappeared in the alley, and turned his head to look at the officials beside him.

"The portraits of all the young men in this alley must be sent to the county office to be seen with me."

The officials around Ren Zhize were stunned and didn't realize it for a long time. Although they didn't know what benefit this would be for catching the robbers, they just did it. The official then quickly replied, "I will remember the order of Mr. Futai, the portrait will be released tomorrow." Present it at the table of Master Futai."

Ren Zhize nodded, and listened to the report from the subordinates. After finishing his work, he reined in the reins and returned to the county government office where he was temporarily staying.

But Jiang Mi, who knew nothing about it, had already returned to the yard.

Jiang Mi had already heard the outline of the matter from Jiang Man's mouth, nodded, and lowered her eyes to ponder, it seems...the matter of Li Hai's escape here is really not hidden?

What Jiang Mi didn't know was that Li Hai had already been arrested and was about to be escorted back to Beijing.

Jiang Mi looked at Jiang Man, "Then they will come over at night to count the number of people, right?"

Jiang Man sat at the table opposite Jiang Mi, "Yes, they will come again, but it doesn't matter, the tooth cards have already been seen, so it doesn't matter."

Yue Liang continued to cover his lips with his hands and yawned, "I thought we were going to move again, but luckily it was just a false alarm."

The three of them also had memories of being forced to move before, and this town was where they lived for the longest time, and Yueliang didn't want to change places yet.

What Jiang Mi thought was also in his heart. He should continue to live in this town until the mission is over. This is what he should do.

In the evening, some officers and soldiers did come, but not only those two officers and soldiers, but also an elderly man.

The old man's clothes were clean, with a long beard on his chin, he raised his eyes with a sophisticated gaze, and secretly looked at Jiang Mi from head to toe.

Jiang Mi noticed the old man's gaze, and looked back slightly puzzled, and the old man smiled kindly again.

This old man is one of the painters sent by the officials. He is famous for his ability to draw human faces. Like the other painters, he has to write down the appearances of several young men, draw them overnight and present them to Lord Futai. .

Looking at Jiang Mi's appearance, the old man knew that this person had an extraordinary background, so he secretly guessed in his heart.

On the second day, the portraits of all these young men were presented on Ren Zhize's desk.

Ren Zhize was dressed in official uniform, sitting at the table with a thick stack of drawing paper under his hand, he flipped through them one by one, but he never saw a man who looked like Jiang Mi.

Just when he thought that seeing Jiang Mi last time might just be an illusion, he turned over another portrait.

On the portrait is the frontal face of a young man, with black hair tied up, peach blossom eyes slightly glanced over, slightly protruding browbones, and a straight nose.

A few strokes of painting will draw its charm.

It is impossible to have two people with such a similar look and face in the world.

Thinking of the inexplicable disappearance of that male waiter, Ren Zhize already had guesses in his mind.

Ren Zhize clenched the drawing paper tightly, his eyes were full of astonishment, his uncontrollable chest trembled, this... this is related to His Majesty!He himself really did not expect to meet His Majesty's male servant here.

Cheng Zhan and Ren Zhize have both a love for support and a kindness for knowing each other.

Ren Zhize wanted to pass on the news without any hesitation, but he was still afraid of making a mistake.

Before sending the secret letter to Cheng Zhan, he quietly took a look at the residence given by his officials.

With that figure, he almost concluded in his heart that this person was the servant whom His Majesty had been looking for for a long time.

When Ren Zhize returned to the county office, his hands were shaking, and he wrote a secret letter to His Majesty who was far away in Bianjing.

The secret letter clearly stated all the incidents, but Ren Zhize didn't dare to say anything, so he only wrote that there was a young man who looked like a missing male waiter here.

By the time the secret letter was delivered to His Majesty the Emperor in Bianjing, four or five days had passed.

Ren Zhize secretly calculated in his heart that it would take another five days for His Majesty to reply to his letter, so he only kept an eye on the whereabouts of Jiang Mi and the others, fearing that Jiang Mi would disappear out of thin air again.

Three days after the confidential letter was delivered to His Majesty, Ren Zhize was still waiting for His Majesty's reply and was processing the paperwork in the study.

It's already noon, and it's time to eat after the meeting.

At this time, the door of Ren Zhize's study was suddenly pushed open, he sat in the inner room, he didn't pay attention, he just thought it was the servant who came to invite him to dinner.

Ren Zhize was still thinking casually, why did this boy forget to knock on the door today.

He just raised his head, but saw His Majesty, Cheng Zhan, who should be far away in Bianjing at this time.

Ren Zhize was holding a writing brush in his right hand, and with a "click", the writing brush fell on the document, creating circles of ink stains.

But Ren Zhize couldn't care about it anymore, he immediately stood up from the chair, suddenly lifted his robe and knelt down heavily, his knees hurt so much that he had no time to care about it.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

Ren Zhize faced the bluestone slab, not daring to move at all, but there was no sound in front of him.

Then, a pair of satin soft-soled boots with golden rims fell silently before Ren Zhize's eyes, and a hoarse voice sounded, which was a bit weird because it was too calm.

"Where is the other person?"

-

Jiang Man is very good at cooking, and she cooks breakfast, lunch and dinner every time.

Jiang Mi was holding a porcelain bowl and a pair of wooden chopsticks to pick up vegetables.

There are four dishes and one soup on the table, and the dishes are rich.

Since Jiang Mi mainly makes money by catching fish, the most indispensable thing on the dinner table is fish.

Today, Jiang Man cooked a West Lake Vinegar Fish.

Jiang Man opened her eyes slightly, looking at Jiang Mi and Yue Liang.

"Try how it tastes. The aunt next door taught me how to make it."

Jiang Mi took a sip, the fish was tender, sweet and sour.

There is no need to tell lies against your will, Jiang Mi sincerely praised: "It's delicious."

Yue Liang just stretched out his chopsticks towards the West Lake Vinegar Fish, when suddenly there was a knock on the gate of the courtyard.

In the past few days, the officers and soldiers checked closely, and the three of them were used to it, so they didn't think about it.

Jiang Mi was the closest to the door, so he stood up, "I'll go and open the door."

Yue Liang nodded casually with food in his mouth, Jiang Man nodded to Jiang Mi, "It's okay, I'll ask senior to save some food for you."

Yue Liang paused for a moment while holding the chopsticks, and looked at Jiang Man with slightly puzzled eyes.

Jiang Man smiled embarrassedly, "Sorry senior, I was joking."

Jiang Mi walked towards the gate of the courtyard, except for the knock on the door at the beginning, it stopped after that, as if there was no one else.

Jiang Mi noticed for a moment, there was only one person's aura, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

He lowered his eyes and stepped forward to open the courtyard door.

Then, Jiang Mi raised his eyes.

……

The person in front of him was dressed in a crow-blue robe embroidered with cloud patterns, his slender waist was tied up with a jade belt, his long black hair was tied up by a wooden hairpin, and on his feet were a pair of satin soft-soled boots with golden rims.

The man's eyes were light, with a soft smile in between, and the tails of his eyes were slightly upturned.

Her brows are soft and soft, like the juice coming out of crushed peach petals, with a bit of inexplicable... weirdness.

The corners of his lips curled up, a moist light red.

The eyes of the two met.

At that moment, as if the sky and the earth turned pale, all the sounds in the distance disappeared, only the person in front of him remained.

Jiang Mi: "..."

The shock brought by this moment was too great, Jiang Mi's green pupils appeared uncontrollably for a moment, and then quickly disappeared.

He couldn't believe who he saw. After he realized it, he subconsciously backhanded and quickly covered the courtyard door.

Who was standing in front of the courtyard just now?

...Cheng Zhan...

Jiang Mi's face froze.

Is he crazy, or is Cheng Zhan crazy?
