step on mountains and rivers

The people rode fast horses and galloped along the path. After traveling for more than an hour, they passed through a forest and finally arrived at the gate of Nangong Villa before dark.

At this time, the sky was dark, and there was a drizzle in the sky, and the lanterns of Nangong Villa were lit up one after another.

The faint lights are dotted in the rainy night, welcoming the returnees.

Nangongyu looked at the villa, led everyone off their horses, and walked through the gate.

After entering the door, Nan Gongyu said to Tang Qingfeng:

"I'm sorry to trouble everyone today, everyone go to rest first, and I will come to thank you tomorrow."

"You're welcome, Brother Nangong, do whatever you want," Jiang Ling said.

"En." Nangong Yu nodded, then looked at Nangong Qingqing and said:

"Qingqing, take the young heroes to rest first, arrange a place to stay, and entertain you well. I have something to do with your second brother, so I won't accompany you for now."

"Okay." Nangong Qingqing responded.Seeing her answer, Nangong Yu thought to Nangong:

"Second brother, let's go."

"En." After Nangong Xin returned, the two walked towards the inner courtyard.

Seeing the two leaving, Nangong Qingqing led Tang Qingfeng and the others towards the front yard.

Nangong Qingqing brought everyone to the front yard, and several people entered the house to sit down. Nangong Qingqing asked the servants to bring tea and food, and then said to everyone:

"You guys have worked hard today, it's getting late, everyone, take a good rest, and we'll bother you tomorrow."

"Miss Nangong, you're welcome. Miss has been busy all day, and it's been very hard. You need to pay more attention to your health and rest early." Jiang Ling said.

"Thank you Brother Jiang for your concern. Qingqing should pay attention." Nangong Qingqing smiled at Jiangling, then turned and walked out the door.

Nangong Yu and Nangong Xin came to Nangong Yan's door with a box containing Chiqing Meteorite.

Nangong Yu stepped forward, gently knocked on the door and said:

"Father, Brother Xin and I are back."

"Come in." Nangong Yan said.

Nangong Yu heard Nangong Yan's response, gently opened the door, and walked in with Nangong Xin.

Seeing the two people approaching, Nangong Yan got up from the chair and walked forward.

Nangong Yu walked towards Nangong Yan, Nangong Xin turned around and closed the door, and then walked towards the two of them.

Nangong Yan looked at Nangong Yu and said:

"how?"

Nangong Yu looked at Nangong Yan, put the box in her hand on the table and said:

"Father, I have achieved a lot this time."

As he spoke, he opened the box, and the Chiqing Meteorite was lying in the box.

Nangong Yan looked at the red and green meteorite in the box, and said in surprise:

"It's so big!"

"Father, we have measured it. This meteorite is one foot and two inches long, half a foot and one inch wide, and half a foot and five inches high. It is indeed a huge piece." Nangong Yu said.

"Well, this meteorite is extremely rare. My Nangong family got this piece. If we can refine it and make it into a weapon, we will definitely be proud of it." Nangong said.

"Yes, father, I need to worry about the refining matter." Nangong Yu said.

"Okay, Yu'er doesn't have to worry, I have my own plans for my father." Nangong Yan replied, and said, he looked at the two of them and said:

"Yu'er, Xin'er, since we dug the secret mine, Shenlongzhai has been eyeing it. Now that we have obtained the treasure, they may come to snatch it. You must strengthen your vigilance to prevent the people of Shenlongzhai from attacking you."

"Yes, father." The two replied.

"Well, you guys go down first, put the secret mine into the treasure house, and then arrange some more people to patrol, patrol once every half an hour, don't let the secret mine have any accidents." Nangong Yan said.

"Yes, father." The two replied.

"Okay, you guys go, I'm a little tired for my father, you should go to bed early after you make arrangements." Nangong Yan said.

"Okay, father, brother Xin and I will leave first." Nangong Yu said and led Nangong Xin out of the door.

Nangong Yan watched the two of them leave, looking at the pouring rain outside the door, a faint feeling of uneasiness arose in his heart.This dense mine is by no means owned by his Nangong family, but he is not willing to hand it over to others.Looking at the heavy rain outside the door, he said slowly:

"This rain, I'm afraid it won't stop."

Tang Qingfeng, Li Zhenwu, Jiang Ling and Lu Qing were sitting in the house drinking tea when suddenly there was a thunderstorm outside the house, followed by a torrential rain.

Tang Qingfeng looked at the rainstorm outside the door and said:

"This rain, I'm afraid it won't stop."

Jiang Ling listened to Tang Qingfeng's words, looked at the rainstorm outside the door, and then said:

"It's okay, this is a shower, and it will stop after an hour."

Tang Qingfeng looked at Jiangling, but did not reply, and took a sip of green tea with a heavy expression.

Seeing Tang Qingfeng's reaction, Jiang Ling looked at him suspiciously, then looked at Lu Qing and Li Zhenwu, and saw the serious expressions on their faces, so he asked:

"What's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"

Seeing that Jiang Ling was puzzled, Lu Qing said slowly:

"You're right, the rain will stop eventually."

"Well, it's just the rain. I don't know when it will stop." Li Zhenwu said.

Tang Qingfeng listened to Li Zhenwu's words, and said softly: "Zhenwu, don't be too demanding, just do your best."

"Yes." Li Zhenwu nodded.

Listening to the conversation of several people, Jiang Ling became more and more confused about the situation, and was about to ask, but was interrupted by Lu Qing:

"It's late at night, everyone should go to bed early."

Tang Qingfeng nodded.After Lu Qing finished speaking, he took Jiang Ling out of the door.

As soon as the two of them walked out, Jiang Ling looked at Lu Qing and asked suspiciously: "Lu Qing, what are you talking about, why am I the only one who doesn't understand?"

Lu Qing looked at him and said:

"Four Sacred Palaces."

After hearing his words, Jiang Ling suddenly realized.At this time, there was a bang of thunder, and lightning instantly illuminated the night.Lu Qing glanced at the rainstorm outside the corridor, then turned and walked towards the west wing.

Seeing Lu Qing leave, Jiang Ling followed immediately.

Seeing Jiang Ling following, Lu Qing questioned:

"Your room is over there."

After Jiang Ling listened to Lu Qing's words, he looked at him seriously and said:

"It's so cold and raining so hard, let's sleep together."

Lu Qing looked at him, raised his eyebrows slightly and asked:

"You're not afraid of lightning, are you?"

Hearing what Lu Qing said, Jiang Ling replied in embarrassment:

"Why, I'm worried that you're afraid. The lightning and thunder are so scary."

Lu Qing glanced at him and said:

"Thank you for your concern, I'm not afraid."

Then he turned to leave.

"Lu Qing." Jiang Ling stopped him hesitantly.

Lu Qing saw that he stopped him with an ugly expression, as if he was not fooling around, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Ling watched him silent for a moment, then said:

"Forget it, I'll go to the east wing."

Seeing Jiang Ling leaving in a state of disappointment, Lu Qing felt that he was a bit pitiful, so he stopped him and said:

"Jiangling."

Jiang Ling heard Lu Qing's voice, looked back, and only heard Lu Qing say softly:

"Let's go together."

Hearing Lu Qing's words, Jiang Ling nodded slightly, feeling extremely joyful and warm in his heart.He looked at Lu Qing with a smile and said:

"it is good."

Seeing him smiling at her, Lu Qing was slightly taken aback, and then said:

"Let's go." After saying that, he turned and left.

Jiang Ling followed behind him and walked towards the West Wing.

Seeing Lu Qing and Jiang Ling leave, Tang Qingfeng got up and closed the door, then looked at Li Zhenwu and said:

"Zhenwu, rest."

"Okay." Li Zhenwu replied.

He looked at the bed, and then walked towards the couch on the left.

Seeing him walking towards the couch, Tang Qingfeng stopped him with a voice:

"Zhenwu, the winter night is cold, go to bed and sleep."

After listening to Tang Qingfeng's words, Li Zhenwu thought for a moment and nodded slightly.

He just turned around and walked towards the bed, but saw Tang Qingfeng walking past him and walking towards the couch.

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and asked softly:

"Brother Tang? The bed is over here."

Tang Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment after hearing Li Zhenwu's words, and then said:

"Zhenwu, my injury is already healed, you don't have to worry."

Li Zhenwu looked at Tang Qingfeng and said softly:

"Well, the winter night is cold and the rain is heavy, let's sleep together."

"Zhenwu." Tang Qingfeng stared blankly at Li Zhenwu, speechless for a while, and then smiled softly: "Okay."

It rained all night, and everyone fell asleep in the rainy night.

The next day, Li Zhenwu woke up when it was slightly bright. He looked at Tang Qingfeng who was sleeping beside him, and got up gently and got out of bed.After covering him with a quilt, he opened the door softly and walked out slowly.

Tang Qingfeng woke up early at this time. He opened his eyes and looked at Li Zhenwu who was leaving, smiled slightly, then got up and walked towards the door.

Tang Qingfeng was walking on the corridor, and met Nangong Qingqing who got up early. When the two met, Tang Qingfeng greeted him:

"Miss Nangong"

Nangong Qingqing looked at Tang Qingfeng in front of her with a smile and said:

"Tang Shaoxia, you got up really early."

"Miss Nangong is also very early." Tang Qingfeng smiled.

"Well, I want to go to the kitchen. I was in a hurry yesterday. Everyone probably didn't eat." Nangong Qingqing said.

"Fortunately, Miss Nangong doesn't have to worry about it." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Well, Tang Shaoxia is busy first, I'm going to prepare breakfast." Nangong Qingqing said that he was about to leave, Tang Qingfeng looked at her, and called her to stop:

"I'll go with you."

After Tang Qingfeng finished speaking, Nangong Qingqing looked at Tang Qingfeng in shock, suspecting that she had misheard his words.

Tang Qingfeng looked at Nangong Qingqing who was stunned, and questioned:

"What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

"No, no, I'm just surprised that Tang Shaoxia can also cook." Nangong Qingqing said.

"Fortunately, I will." Tang Qingfeng said.

"Oh, since Tang Shaoxia is willing to help, let's go together." Nangong Qingqing said and led Tang Qingfeng towards the kitchen.

When the two came to the kitchen, Tang Qingfeng looked around and found the place where the food was stored.

He hesitated looking at the yellow millet and white rice in front of him, and vaguely remembered that it seemed a little yellow.So he grabbed some millet and some rice and put them in a bowl, cleaned them, and put them in clay pots.

Seeing the green smoke rising from the clay pot on the stove, Tang Qingfeng seemed to think of something. He picked up some green vegetables from his side and quickly cut them up, then put them into the pot, and then he thought about it again , looked at the kitchen, chopped the fish, and put it in a clay pot.

After finishing everything, he looked at the clay pot on the stove with satisfaction, and waited quietly for the porridge to be cooked by the fire.

Looking at Tang Qingfeng's series of skillful techniques, Nangong Qingqing couldn't help sighing secretly:

"Tang Shaoxia looked a little cold, but he didn't expect to be so proficient in cooking. He must be a gentle person like Brother Jiang."

Tang Qingfeng was watching the fire seriously, and didn't care what Nangong Qingqing thought. When the porridge pushed up the pottery cover, he lifted the cover and took a sip. The rice porridge was as light as water.He thought about it, and found that he forgot to put salt, so he asked Nangong Qingqing:

"Miss Nangong, may I ask where you put the salt?"

Nangong Qingqing was busy, pointing to the shelf behind him and said:

"On the shelf, the white one in the jar."

Tang Qingfeng looked at the clay pot, picked up the pot containing the white crystals, put a small spoon into the porridge, and stirred it gently to make it melt into the porridge.

Then he looked at the sky and saw that the sun had risen.
