Lei Yue Longmen

The two returned to the cabin through the woods, Cen Zhu picked up the pure white peony jade pendant, looked at it over and over in the palm of his hand, with a puzzled expression on his face.Li Jing asked her what she was thinking?Cen Zhu said seriously: "I was just wondering if it was just a joke that the lady invited me to enjoy the flowers?"

"Why?"

"She said that as long as you take out the peony seal in front of the small wooden house, you can see the guide. I thought that there are people living in the small wooden house, but looking at the furnishings inside, it is simply a house that has been abandoned for a long time. How could there be What guide?"

Li Jingchen fell into deep thought.Cen Zhu continued: "Besides, I have inquired with the people in the county, and there is no place called Guidao near here at all, except for the mountain or the mountain, and the mountain is probably the Western Region. I have never heard of any forest of flowers. I really doubt that the lady is lying to me."

"No. She doesn't have to lie to you."

"No? Why are you so sure that she won't lie to me? Do you know her?" Cen Zhuo rarely asked about the lady during this journey, even though she subconsciously felt that the relationship between Li Jingbai and her was extraordinary.

First of all, the dragon on the seal is not a privilege that ordinary people can exercise. She must have a lot of connections with the Yurui royal family; second, she claims to be Mrs. Li, and Li Jingzhu respects her very much in his words, so it is likely to be hers. The elders of the same family; thirdly, she can make the crown prince of a country throw away? Everything in her hand has traveled far and wide to pay a visit, so she must have a pivotal position in the royal family.

Combined with her own characteristics, her appearance is extremely beautiful, she must have been famous all over the world when she was young, her bearing is graceful, and her status must be extremely noble, at least above Li Jingchen, she is in her 40s, that is, about the same age as the emperor, and she is very leisurely, so It is an idle clan.Cen Zhuoshi? I can't think of a character in Yurui's royal family who fits these qualities.But judging from all the signs, she must be the royal family.

Faced with Cen Zhu's doubts, Li Jingzhu chose to respond silently.Cen Zhu knew that if she didn't open her mouth, it meant that she couldn't talk about it, and she couldn't find out why if she asked again.

It's just that there are a hundred claws scratching in my heart, but I can't think of a way to crack it?She was sitting on the railing in front of the wooden house, holding the jade pendant in front of her eyes, as if she was hypnotizing herself.

Li Jingchen stood beside her with a heavy heart, what was he thinking?

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, there was still no one there.Cen Zhu yawned, a little bored.He pulled Li Jingchen to his side and asked her to sit on his lap to rest.Li Jingchen was reluctant to sit at first because she could smell the lime powder left on her body.However, referring to the worse sitting and lying environment in other places, she decided to give up thinking about it, mainly because she was really tired after standing for so long.

Cen Zhu didn't care so much, when she sat down, he treated him like a big pillow, rested his chin on her shoulder, and closed his eyes comfortably.

"..."

After a while, Li Jingchen heard her murmuring in her ear: "If, I mean, if we don't see that lady this time, will you be very disappointed?"

Li Jingbai's expression darkened, and he responded with a "hmm".

"How disappointed?"

"I don't know." She frowned, as if unwilling to consider the result.

"Oh, that must be very, very, very, very, very, very, very... disappointing."

She said a "very" and tilted her head. Li Jing's shoulders were itchy under her chin, and she frowned and looked at her. She hadn't finished saying "very", and her eyes and eyebrows were exaggerated to make a grimace. .

The Empress Dowager's expression was a little restless, and she raised her hand sullenly to pinch her chattering lips to stop her funny behavior at this moment.Clinker's expression became even more exaggerated, and she desperately pumped the muscles on her lips, almost breaking free from her fingers. Li Jingzhu hastily added another finger to barely hold it.

Cen Zhu blinked his eyes quickly, revealing a pair of innocent little eyes, and his mouth moved like a duck, looking very funny.Seeing her bulging cheeks like a goldfish, Li Jingchen finally couldn't hold back anymore, and laughed with a shake of his shoulders.

Cen Zhu hadn't heard her laugh for a long time, and pursued her with both hands, going around to her Butterfly Valley, scratching the sensitive area in the middle.Li Jingchen was scratched one by one, turned his shoulders suddenly to dodge, laughed so much that he threw himself into her arms, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "Don't scratch, itchy~"

Cen Zhuo laughed at her: "I haven't seen you for so many years, why haven't I made any progress at all, I'm still so ticklish." Li Jingzhu stopped smiling instantly when he heard this, broke free from her arms, walked to the other side with his arms in his arms, and left An angry back of her.

Cen Zhu realized that he seemed to have made an inappropriate joke, and felt a little resentful.

The two were relatively silent for a while, and suddenly they heard a mess of footsteps on the mountain road.Cen Zhu turned his head and saw a group of villagers with hoes and sickles walking towards him, about twenty of them, rushing towards the cabin together.

The blue scarf boy who had escaped by snatching the horse earlier seemed to be among the crowd, trying to say something to the leading strong man.When he was approaching the door of the wooden house, he suddenly pointed at them and said, "Uncle Ba, it's these two people!"

Knowing that they were coming in a bad way, Cen Zhu exchanged glances with Li Jingzhu, and decided to hold back for now.

When everyone gathered up, they yelled at them: "Where did you get those boys?" "Hand them over quickly! Otherwise, you will suffer!"

Only then did they realize that the villagers thought they had kidnapped the children, so they mobilized a large number of people to snatch the "hostages" back.

Cen Zhu knew that they were probably bewitched by the blue-turban boy, so he explained to them that he didn't make things difficult for those children, but compared to these two strangers, they were obviously more willing to trust a familiar child.Especially the leading burly men, who seemed to believe that they had kidnapped the group of children, raised their hoes high above their heads, and threatened them to hand them over.

"What are you talking to them about? This kind of profiteer is not a good thing, let's tie them up first!"

"Yes, tie them up and go to the officials!"

"You can't meet the officials. You have forgotten that the county magistrate is with them. If we send them to the officials, is there any way for us to survive? They will definitely retaliate."

Li Jing's eyes pierced through the crowd, and shot at the young man in blue scarf who was making a fuss in the arena. A look of complacency flashed in his eyes, his waist was straightened, and he looked confident and fearless.

"What should I do?"

The crowd was suddenly panicked and frightened.

"Calm down, everyone. The most important thing now is the children. Let them hand over the children first," said an older villager.

The "eighth uncle" in the middle stepped forward and confronted Cen Zhu, "If you are sensible, hand over the child quickly, or don't blame us for being rude!"

There is a slanted scar on the cheekbone on his left cheek, which is as long as a little finger, giving people a superficially intimidating feeling.

Cen Zhu sneered and said, "I've already said that those children are not in our hands. They should have gone down the mountain by now. If you walk back now, maybe you can meet them on the road."

"Nonsense, you obviously tied them up as hostages, how could you let them go!"

Cen Zhu saw that the boy in the blue scarf was lying without blushing and heartbeat, and said contemptuously: "Little rascal, you have to tell the truth with the facts. You keep saying that I tied them up? Do you have any evidence?"

"I saw it with my own eyes, and it can be fake. They took away the little hedgehog and the little tiger head one by one, and pinched the little hedgehog's neck to prevent him from talking. I was the only one who escaped." The blue scarf boy said to Everyone described it vividly.

At this time, someone suddenly brought up a case of serial disappearances of children that happened a few years ago, thinking that it might have something to do with them.In the end, the more the villagers discussed, the more they felt that the two of them looked like "human traffickers who came here to abduct and sell children."

Hearing what they said became more and more outrageous, Cen Zhu could hardly laugh or cry.

However, these unfounded discussions were eventually interrupted by a loud child's voice.

"Uncle eight!"

Everyone followed the sound, and the four children walked over from the woods behind the mountain together.The boy with the red scarf held the little hedgehog who was blindfolded, and walked up to the crowd with a serious face. First, he met the boy with the blue scarf, reading the unpredictable color from the other's eyes.

Cen Zhuo and Li Jingzhu looked at each other, raised eyebrows at each other, and decided to wait and see what happened.

He pursed his lips, his chest heaved, and seemed to muster up his courage. He pointed to Li Jingzhu and Cen Zhuo and said, "Uncle Ba, they didn't make things difficult for us. We robbed their jade pendants. Don't wrong the good people." .”

"What's going on?" the scarred man scolded coldly.

The boy lowered his head, and told the whole story in detail, the blue scarf boy saw that his lie was exposed, and became angry with embarrassment, he pushed him to the ground, "You are talking nonsense, everyone don't listen to him! "

"I'm not talking nonsense!" The red scarf boy showed a trace of unbearable eyes, but he still stood up firmly, pointing to the little hedgehog and the other two children, "If you don't believe me, ask them. They can also testify."

The boy in the blue scarf glared at the three terrified companions, "Who are you telling me is lying? Tell me!"

The three children were too frightened to make a sound, but they couldn't help moving to the red scarf boy's side in their actions, showing what their hearts wanted.

"How dare you betray me!" The boy in blue scarf waved his fist at them angrily, but Li Jingchen grabbed his wrist and threw him out. "You should take responsibility for your own mistakes, and don't blame others."

The villagers behind him looked at each other for a while, and finally figured things out. The facts about the boy with the red scarf? After explaining it in a very detailed and specific manner, with reasons and evidence, while the boy with the blue scarf just played it up without any real evidence.

The villagers were a little embarrassed for a while.Everyone said that it was a misunderstanding, and they made up for the two, then shook their heads and left.The man with the scar was especially puzzled, he slapped the blue scarf boy on the face, pointed at him roughly and said viciously: "Boy, next time you dare to lie and deceive others, see if I will pull out your tongue!"

After saying that, he picked up the hoe and left angrily, cursing as he walked: "It really is a bastard raised in a den of thieves! Just like his brother." The rest also echoed: "Yes, they did that business a few years ago I have earned enough, and now I am in jail, it is really retribution, and I deserve it!"

The blue scarf boy sat on the ground covering his face, staring at them with gritted teeth.The red scarf boy went over to help him up, but was kicked away by the latter, "Go away? You traitor, you also said you want to be my left prime minister, and now you have joined forces to betray me!" He started to cry.

The boy in the red scarf squatted down, bit his lip and insisted, "I don't want to betray you, but it's wrong for you to lie to the villagers."

"I lied to them to teach these two profiteers a lesson. What's wrong?" The blue scarf boy stood up with tears in his eyes.

"In order to teach them a lesson, you have lied to us that lime powder will not blind people, and it is fine to sprinkle a little bit. Today, the little hedgehog's eyes were almost blinded. You are such a big boss for lying and harming people like this. Besides, if it weren't for them today, The little hedgehog is really blind."

The boy with the blue scarf became furious and rushed at the boy with the red scarf, and the two scuffled into a ball on the ground.

"How dare you speak for them, since they are profiteers, they are villains."

"The one who steals is the villain!"

The two fought inseparably, and the scarves on their heads were pulled off each other, "From now on, you are no longer my brother. The friendship between us is completely broken."

"A cut in two is a cut in two."

The two of them were finally pulled away by the little friend? The "boss" threw the red scarf in his hand and stepped on the ground, wiped his nose indiscriminately, and said harshly with his shoulders, "Remember, I will come back and settle accounts with you!"

The boy with the red scarf held onto the blue scarf and didn't say anything.
