Dianxia Qingcheng

Pei Zheng sent Shen Jiujiu back to the General's Mansion. Shen Jiujiu stood at the gate of the General's Mansion and watched Pei Zheng's sedan chair drive away before stepping into the mansion.

In fact, Zhao Litang is fine now, but Shen Huan still has to stay in the general's mansion for a few more days to prevent Zhao Litang's health from having any further problems.

"Teacher, why did you take so long to come back?"

Shen greeted him, and looked towards the door.

"Just you? Where's Mr. Pei?"

"My lord still has things to do, so I'll go back first."

Shen Huan understood, and dragged the little disciple inside.

"Don't be so embarrassed, let me tell you good news, we can go out of the house with the general tomorrow to play! We are not happy!"

"Master, where are we going?"

"Liuyun Lake outside the city."

Liuyun Lake outside the imperial capital city is a very big lake, it will freeze in winter when it is cold, there is a mountain villa in the middle of the lake, many elegant guests will take a boat to the lake mountain villa to meet.

Rafting a boat on the clear blue lake, cooking a pot of warm wine, watching thousands of mountains and birds flying away, and thousands of people disappearing, has a special meaning.

I made an appointment with those adults to meet directly by the lake, and the people from the General's Mansion were the first to arrive.

Originally, Zhao Litang didn't plan to bring Shen Huan and Shen Jiujiu with him. He didn't want to involve them in this kind of official affairs.

But after Shen Huan found out about this, he insisted on coming with him, so Zhao Litang had no choice but to agree, and Shen Nineteen even brought Yue Nu along.

After getting off the sedan chair, standing by Liuyun Lake, the cold wind blowing from the lake became even more violent, making people's bones tremble with the cold.

The surface of the lake is as bright and clean as a mirror, and ripples form in circles as the wind blows, and then slowly dissipate.

The lake in winter has a different beauty than usual.

Shen Jiujiu stood by the lake, took a deep breath, and then exhaled hot air, he seemed to like it very much.

The sound of horseshoes sounded again, and several carriages also came to the lakeside. It was Lord Qian and Lord Wei from yesterday, and their relatives and family members.

Three other adults also came along.

Several adults and Zhao Litang began to greet each other.

Mr. Qian said, "General Zhao, I didn't expect that you would really give me face. It's really a great honor for us."

"Master Qian is serious. Zhao has not returned to the imperial capital for many years. I did not expect that the adults can still remember Zhao. It is Zhao's honor."

"Hey, General Zhao is out of touch when he says that. Don't be cautious today. What can you say? The Hushan Villa we are going to is owned by my relatives. General Zhao must not be so polite."

Zhao Litang just smiled, the intention of this group of people was almost written on his face, Pei Zheng would really push him into the fire pit.

Just as he was thinking, another carriage came in the distance, which was more luxurious than everyone else's.

Master Wei asked quietly, "Old Qian, who else did you invite? Why is there still someone here?"

Lord Qian was also puzzled, "We were together at Yipinxiang yesterday, and we invited General Zhao, who else would know..."

Speaking of this, both of them froze, but there was another person present at that time...

The carriage stopped in front of everyone, the curtain was raised, and a black figure got off the carriage.

"Pei...Master Pei, you...why are you here?"

Except for Zhao Litang, the expressions of several adults present were unpredictable, they looked at each other, as if they didn't dare to be angry or speak.

"Be free and have nothing to do."

There was a smile in Pei Zheng's tone, but no matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like he was really smiling. His long and narrow eyes swept across a few people, as if they could see through their thoughts.

"Why, you're not welcome?" Pei Zheng suppressed his smile on purpose, and his eyes suddenly darkened.

"No, no, that's not what I meant..."

Mr. Qian was sweating, everyone has already arrived, what can he say?

"Master Pei, we, we are all very honored to be able to come together..."

A few other people also echoed, "Yes, yes, yes, yes, Mr. Pei is busy solving problems for the emperor, and he condescends to participate in our gathering. We are extremely honored, extremely honored..."

The far-fetched laughter of several adults attracted the eyes of other relatives, and several daughters who were waiting for marriage also looked towards this side, and then whispered with red faces.

Some of them were looking at Zhao Litang, and some were looking at Pei Zheng.

Pei Zheng raised his eyes as if he had sensed something, but he passed the women and looked behind them.

There were three people standing by the lake not far away.

Shen Huan pretended to be deeply stroking his beard, and sighed at Liuyun Lake.

And Shen Jiujiu and Yue Nu each took a small stone and were trying to throw it farther than anyone else.

The two children got playful, turned a deaf ear to the people talking behind them, and just watched the lake surface, and the lake was getting closer and closer.

"I must be better than you this time, because the stone I picked up is round." Shen Jiujiu raised his hand high and threw the stone out.

Yue Nu squatted on the ground and searched for a long time, then stood up holding a stone.

"Mine is great too, because mine is rounder than yours."

Then the stone was thrown out.

Sure enough, the moon slave lost farther.

Unconvinced, Shen Jiujiu tried harder to find it, and almost fell to the ground.

But after searching for a long time, he couldn't find the stone, but a pair of black boots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Shen Jiujiu raised his head, and saw Pei Zheng who looked down at him tenderly from above.

"grown ups!"

He stood up happily, "Why are you here? Are you going to be with us?"

Pei Zheng brushed his broken hair and nodded with a smile.

"Great! My lord can go to the lake with us, and go to the Lakeside Villa together!"

Shen Jiu's face brightened, and he was pulling Pei Zheng's cuff dangling. He looked behind Pei Zheng, but he didn't see Chengfeng.

"My lord, where is Ah Feng? Don't you want to go together?"

"He, went to the palace."

"Oh," Shen Jiujiu nodded, "Afeng went to the palace to find Doctor Jiang."

Pei Zheng tapped his forehead with his fingers, "Who did you listen to?"

Shen Jiujiu looked in Shen Huan's direction, and whispered, "Master said, Ah Feng and Jiang Taiji..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"Lord Pei."

Suddenly someone shouted from behind, "We are about to leave, my father invites you to go over."

The one who spoke was Lord Wei's prostitute, named Wei Yiren, who had the most outstanding appearance among all the female relatives present today. She was eighteen years old, dignified and elegant.

"Yeah." Pei Zheng glanced at her.

Wei Yiren smiled shyly and left first.

There are several small boats moored by the lake. You have to take the small boat to the big boat first, and then take the big boat to the lake center villa.

The adults and their relatives hadn't boarded the boat yet, and they were waiting for Pei Zheng by the shore of the lake.

Seeing Pei Zheng approaching, Wei Yiren quietly pulled Master Wei's sleeve, and Master Wei glared at her.

He originally wanted to match his daughter with Zhao Litang, but who knew that Wei Yiren actually fell in love with Pei Zheng, didn't she hear the gossip that Pei Zheng likes men?Still so unrepentant.

"Master Pei," Master Wei flattered, "We're going to take this small boat to the cruise ship first, and I might offend you a bit."

Pei Zheng smiled with a good temper, "Listen to Master Wei's arrangement."

Master Wei didn't expect Pei Zheng to cooperate so much, so he arranged the boats for everyone according to his own wishes.

Sure enough, he arranged Zhao Litang and Wei Yiren on the same boat, and brought Shen Nineteen, who looked the most harmless.

Both Shen Huan and Wu Quan were assigned to other ships, and because Pei Zheng only brought one servant with him, an extra monthly slave was added to the ship.

—The pedestrians all boarded the boat.

Pei Zheng stood at the bow of the boat. The hull of the boat swayed slightly with the lake water, but he stood still.

Yue Nu also boarded the boat where Pei Zheng was. He was not familiar with Pei Zheng, and he only met him once at Yipinxiang last time.

And Yue Nu felt that this Mr. Pei looked too cold, frighteningly cold. He really didn't know how Shi could get so close to Mr. Pei.

After everyone boarded the boat, several small boats by the lake started to move towards the large cruise ship parked not far from the lake.

Yue Nu has been sitting peacefully against the eaves of the boat, while Pei Zheng is standing at the bow with his back to him, not knowing what he is looking at.

The boat was rowing very fast, and some fish in the lake could be seen beside the boat.

"what!"

Yue Nu suddenly screamed and stood up abruptly.

A fat and big black fish jumped out of the lake just now, and it jumped directly onto Yue Nu's lap. Yue Nu had never seen such a big fish before, and was taken aback.

But he stood up too fast, the body of the boat shook violently, Yue Nu couldn't stand still, and fell back towards the lake.

He closed his eyes in a panic, but someone grabbed the front of his clothes suddenly, and his body hung in the air beside the boat, but he didn't really fall into the icy lake.

Yue Nu opened his eyes tremblingly, only to see that it was Pei Zheng who was holding onto his clothes, and he was staring at him with great interest, instead of pulling himself up directly.

"Pei, Lord Pei..."

Pei Zheng raised his eyelids and glanced to the side. Sure enough, the child's cry just now attracted the attention of the other people on board, including Zhao Litang.

"what's your name?"

"Yue, Moon Slave."

"What's the relationship with Zhao Litang?"

Yue Nu's eyes turned away, but he happened to meet Zhao Litang who was not far away, and he quickly lowered his eyes, "General, he saved my life."

Pei Zheng twitched his lips, "Like him?"

Yue Nu quickly shook her head, "No, I just want to repay the general, and I dare not have any extravagant thoughts."

Pei Zheng pulled him onto the boat, got closer to him, and then chuckled, "If it's not an unreasonable idea?"

Yue Nu looked at him suspiciously, not understanding what he meant.

"Are you afraid of the cold?"

"No, not very afraid."

"Then close your eyes."

As soon as Pei Zheng finished speaking, the strength in his hands suddenly loosened.

Yue Nu felt that his body was falling backwards sharply, his eyes widened in shock at first, and then quickly closed them again.

With a "plop", a figure fell heavily into the lake.

It's freezing cold, and one can imagine how cold the lake is. If you fall into it and don't come up quickly, you will be frozen to death immediately.

The people on the other boats saw that Pei Zheng was pulling the little servant just now, but they probably couldn't hold it, and they still fell into it.

No one would be willing to jump down to save him, he was just a servant, if he could come up by himself, it would be his fate, if he couldn't come up, he could only blame his own bad luck.

As soon as the person fell in, Zhao Litang immediately grabbed the eaves of the boat and looked at Pei Zheng angrily. His eyes were full of questioning and disbelief. Others might not be able to see it, but he knew that Pei Zheng must have let go on purpose just now. .

Pei Zheng looked back at the past without avoiding it, he was betting that Zhao Litang was different to this child.

"Ah Yue!" Shen Jiujiu also saw Yue Nu fell into the lake, and quickly lay down beside the boat, shouting at the lake, "Ah Yue! Ah Yue, where are you!"

After Yue Nu fell into the lake, he sank straight down, without even jumping, his limbs were instantly soaked by the icy lake water, and his whole body was frozen.

They were all numb and couldn't move.

It was dark all around, and Yue Nu felt that his strength was being taken away by someone. He was so cold that he wanted to close his eyes and sink to the bottom of the lake.He is not afraid of the cold, but this kind of freezing cold that envelops his whole body is more fatal than every cold winter he has endured before.Mr. Pei is afraid that he wants to kill himself directly, but that's not right, Mr. Pei just didn't save himself.

The only one who saved me was the general...

General, Yue Nu seemed to have seen Zhao Litang's figure, he swam to his side, wrapped a strong arm around his waist, and led him to swim towards the lake.

Finally returned to the lake and breathed the cold but fresh air again, Yue Nu took a big breath and was poured into a lot of lake water again, he kept coughing.

Zhao Litang dragged him while swimming towards the nearest boat.

When he jumped into the lake just now, he didn't think too much in his mind, he just thought, how could the child whom he almost poisoned to death be frozen to death so easily?

That kid has to live well.

Swimming to the side of the boat, the people on the boat hurriedly helped to pull Yuenu, who had choked on too much water, into the boat. Zhao Litang was still soaking in ice water, so he dragged Yuenu up first, and then he held onto the eaves of the boat to board the boat. .

Another hand stretched out from the side of the boat, slender and slender, stretched out in front of Zhao Litang's eyes, as if wanting to give him a hand.

Zhao Litang looked up, and saw the "instigator" smiling at him, it seemed funny to see himself in such a mess.

Zhao Litang really put his hand on it, but he didn't want to use Pei Zheng's strength to get on the boat, but to pull him into the lake directly while he was unguarded.

With a "plop", as the lake water splashed, the people on the boat changed.

Zhao Litang stood at the bow of the boat, glanced at Pei Zheng in the lake, and felt that he was in a better mood, so he ignored him and went to check on the unconscious child.

Pei Zheng who fell into the lake, although his limbs were almost numb from the cold, for some reason, he didn't seem to be angry at all, and he seemed in a good mood.

After the actions of these two people, the other people on the boat next to them were quite frightened. Lord Qian and Lord Wei were so frightened that they broke out in cold sweat.

One is the great general Zhenyuan with outstanding military exploits, and the other is the powerful prime minister of the current dynasty. If there is something wrong with either of these two people, they can't explain it clearly.

"My lord! My lord!"

Shen Jiujiu was lying on the side of the boat, carefully stretching out his hand to reach Pei Zheng who was not far away, "My lord! Come up quickly! Hurry up and let me pull you up!" Pei Zheng stretched out his hand to Shen Jiujiu , The warm little hand immediately held the cold hand tightly.

Although it was only a little heat, Pei Zheng felt warmer all over his body. He smiled at Shen Jiujiu, swam to the side of the boat, and boarded the boat with his backhand.

Shen Jiu opened his arms and was about to hug Pei Zheng, but was pushed away by Pei Zheng's forehead.

"Don't come here, don't get wet."

"But are you cold, my lord?"

Little Shen Nineteen's face was full of worry, the lake was so icy that the adult's expression was frozen, "Let me help you warm up."

"I am fine."

"Master Pei, are you okay?" Wei Yiren on the boat also seemed worried about Pei Zheng, and said to the boatman, "Hurry up and go to the cruise ship."

The boatman hastened the process.

And the other boat also rowed faster, and the two boats were heading towards the cruise ship at a much faster speed than the other boats.

The moon slave on that boat still closed his eyes tightly, motionless, his face was pale, the crescents at the end of his eyes seemed to have faded and then turned white, and his whole body seemed lifeless.

Zhao Litang kept pressing on his body, but it still didn't help at all.

"General, after you fall into the water, you have to do this..."

After the boatman finished speaking, Zhao Litang's expression changed.

"Is this... useful?"

"It's useful. If you don't believe me, just give it a try. It's best to hurry up. Children are prone to accidents if you hold it in for a long time."

Zhao Litang stretched out his hand, gently pinched Yuenu's cheeks, obeyed the boatman's words, and made him lie flat with his mouth slightly open.

Leaning down, getting closer and closer to the person under him, the tips of their noses touched together.

There are still drops of water hanging on the long closed eyelashes, which are crystal clear.

Zhao Litang took a deep breath, pressed it on, and breathed into his slightly opened mouth. The touch on his lips was soft and soft, a feeling he had never experienced before.

After taking a few breaths, the person below him suddenly began to cough, vomiting out all the water accumulated in his throat.

Zhao Litang quickly straightened up.

Yue Nu blinked her eyes, and slowly opened them, seeing a vast expanse of whiteness, and the drops of water hanging from her eyelashes rolled down.

After taking a few breaths, Yue Nu regained his composure, and finally realized that the person beside her was really Zhao Litang.

His eyes became hot, and he burst into tears, but he didn't dare to cry loudly, he only dared to sob softly, raised his arms to cover his eyes, and tears flowed down.

Zhao Litang saw the child crying like this as soon as he woke up, so he knew he was frightened.

"It's okay, change into clean clothes after boarding the boat, don't cry."

Yue Nu twitched, held back her tears, and nodded.

The general saved himself again, what should he do to repay this kindness.

Finally arrived at the side of the cruise ship, the cruise ship is very big, there are many rooms on board, and there are many servants.

Pei Zheng and Shen Jiu boarded the cruise ship first, and a few servants quickly took a cloak to put on Pei Zheng, and then led him to the inner room.

After walking a few steps, he realized that the people behind him were not following.

"come over."

Pei Zheng stretched out a hand to Shen Jiujiu who was standing there, Shen Jiujiu walked up and pulled it without thinking, and then let Pei Zheng lead him to walk inside together

go with.

Wei Yiren was also worried about Pei Zheng, so he followed behind and walked in, but was suddenly stopped by Shen Jiu.

"Miss Wei, my lord is about to change clothes, you can't come in."

After saying that, Shen Jiu turned around and entered Pei Zheng's room, trying to close the door.

Wei Yi said humanely, "Then how can you go in?"

Shen Jiujiu looked at her strangely, "Because I'm also a boy."

Wei Yiren was choked, and watched helplessly as the door closed in front of his eyes.

She was even more worried because Shen Jiujiu was also a boy!

After Zhao Litang boarded the boat, several servants also brought him into the cruise ship.

"Where's that drenched kid?"

"Did General Zhao ask that little servant? He went to the servants' room, down there."

"Down? Is there a charcoal fire?"

"Naturally not."

Zhao Litang's footsteps paused, there was no charcoal fire, how could he get back warm if he was cold all over?

Having already walked outside the room, as soon as the door was opened, Zhao Litang felt a rush of heat. The charcoal fires in each room were fully burned and warm.

The servant who led the way turned around to go down.

Zhao Litang said suddenly, "Bring him to my room."

"Yes"

Yue Nu had already been frozen to the bone. Unlike Pei Zheng and Zhao Litang, who both had internal body protection, he only had a thin and thin body.

He may get sick if he is properly raised after falling into the ice water, let alone blowing cold wind in this small cubicle where the cold wind is exposed everywhere.

His whole body was tingling, and he couldn't use any strength on his fingers. It seemed that his fingers were not his own. Yue Nu went to untie the wet robe on his body, and it took him a long time to untie one at the neckline.

"Hey, don't take it off yet, come with me."

Someone patted the door panel and said to the people inside.

Yue Nu didn't know what happened, so she quickly picked up the bundle of clean clothes, and followed the person with steps.

After passing through the deck and walking into the cruise ship, the inside is already much warmer than the outside.

Yue Nu's clothes were still dripping. He lowered his head and walked cautiously. Because his legs were also numb from the cold, he staggered a bit.

Finally stopped outside a room, the person in front was knocking on the door, Yue Nu obediently stood aside with her head bowed.

After the door was opened, the hot air inside floated out, making it so warm and comfortable that people wanted to rush in regardless.

"Go down."

Zhao Litang waved his hand, and everyone else retreated in response, only Yue Nu stood by the narrow aisle with his head bowed in his arms.

"Come in."

Zhao Litang dropped his sentence, turned around and entered the room.

Yue Nu raised her head and stared blankly at the steamy room in front of her.

Can he go in?

"Close the door."

Yue Nu moved, slowly and carefully walked into the room, and gently closed the door
