Raising Wolves

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he gave amnesty to the whole world and lifted the curfew. Lin'an Mansion was originally the most prosperous place in Daqi.

Lu Qing, who was wearing a mask, walked in the crowd, making him less conspicuous.

Duan Lingguang would board the painting boat by the lake every night, go sightseeing on the painting boat, get drunk all night, and only get off the boat early the next morning to go home--you don't need Chen Xiaodao to inquire, anyone who catches passers-by will know.

The night was not as hot and dry as the daytime, and there was a breeze by the lake, while Lu Qing strolled all the way there, which seemed to be a relief.

When Ning Juan was by his side, he wished he could pick him up and walk away. Even if Ning Juan was not by his side, there would always be a few hidden guards behind him, making it difficult to move.

Although it was for his safety, it was very uncomfortable to be stared at anytime and anywhere.

It's rare to be alone.

At this time, the lanterns are just coming on, the boats are scattered, and the lakeside is especially lively, the lights shine brightly, there is one scenery on the lake, and another scenery in the lake.

Most of the boats have not landed yet, Duan Lingguang is a celebrity by the lake, when he comes, the whole street will be lively, and Lu Qing is not worried that he will miss it.

Walking here from the palace, he was a little out of breath. Holding on to the willow tree to stop, he turned his head and saw an old woman selling flowers not far away.

It is a slim pink lotus with dew still on it, as if it was just picked off.

Lu Qing calmed down, moved over, took out a few copper coins from his sleeve and handed them over: "Grandma, buy a lotus."

The old woman handed the flowers to him with a smile, and seeing that he was thin, she grabbed a large handful of fresh water chestnuts and wrapped them in lotus leaves and handed them to him.

Lu Qing thanked her with a smile, and the old woman muttered a few words of Lin'an dialect.

He tilted his head and could only understand a few words.

But there is nothing left or right, so it doesn't prevent him from chatting: "Grandmother, is Lin'an Mansion so lively every night?"

The old lady didn't quite understand what he said, so she said a few more words.

The two talked with each other, while Lu Qing twirled the lotus petals and fell into deep thought.

Suddenly a laugh came from nearby: "It's not that every night is so lively, it's just the Qixi Festival, and everyone hasn't had enough fun."

Lu Qing suddenly realized, Qixi Festival.

Counting his fingers, on Qixi Festival, he was still lying unconscious in the official office of Ji'an Mansion. After waking up, he had to recuperate for a few days, so he didn't know what night it was.

But even if he wasn't sick, with Jiang You's situation, it was impossible for anyone to be in the mood to celebrate this festival.

He turned his head and looked at the person who spoke: "Thank you, brother, for your clarification."

The other party stood under the willow tree, holding a fan in his hand, and looked him up and down: "You're welcome, my friend seems to be from the capital city, and he looks quite confused about Lin'an Mansion. I just happen to be curious about the capital city, how about Let's go boating on the lake together and chat about the place?"

Lu Qing squinted his eyes, and after a while, smiled slightly: "Okay."

The person standing under the willow tree spread the flowers and brushed the willows, stepped out of the shadows, and flapped the fan in his hand, rather coquettishly: "My boat has come, please."

While talking, there really was a painting boat parked by the shore.

Lu Qing supported the mask on his face, hugged the lotus and a bag of water chestnuts, and calmly followed.

The man got on the boat neatly, and turned around to help Lu Qingze.

Lu Qing dodged backwards, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, I can walk by myself."

The other party shrugged and didn't care.

After Lu Qing boarded the painting boat and sat firmly, the painting boat slowly rowed towards the center of the lake.

There are also many pleasure boats floating nearby, big and small, in various styles, as delicate as carved objects, the sound of silk and bamboo is accompanied by the sound of water, the wind blowing against your head is mixed with coolness, and the lotus wind full of the lake is accompanied by the fragrance of powder.

There were no beauties on the boat, only a few servants, who bent down to pour wine for the two of them, and retreated obediently to the stern.

Lu Qing's back was as straight as a pine, and he sat steadily, but his thoughts were temporarily confiscated.

Last time at the banquet, the last recreational activity was a lake tour. This time, the local officials would not invite Ning Juan to tour the lake, right?

There are so many boats tonight, mixed with fish and dragons, Li Xun and others should not dare.

I can't imagine what would happen if I ran into Ning Guoguo here.

Nothing should happen, right?

He was just avoiding the eyes of the hidden guards and walking around alone, the kid would lose his temper with him at most.

Lu Qing was thinking casually, Yubai twirled the white jade wine glass with his fingertips, but did not drink.

The person on the opposite side saw that he didn't move, and suddenly realized: "Brother, don't you know how to drink alcohol? Negligence, I'll ask someone to change it to tea."

"No need." Lu Qing withdrew his gaze from looking outside, "Take a boat trip on the lake, enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious wine, don't let me lose your interest."

The young man was not polite, he drank two cups by himself, and then said: "Since I am not good at hospitality, please ask your Excellency first, and I will answer, I will definitely know everything, and I will say everything."

Lu Qing smiled, "Really?"

"really."

"Well," Lu Qing wrote lightly, "Then what do you think of Daqi's current situation?"

Opening your mouth is the general trend of the world, and the person opposite can't help laughing: "Ordinary people, don't discuss political affairs recklessly, friend, you are quite courageous."

"Anyway, it's not at the feet of the Son of Heaven," the boat swayed slightly on the water, while Lu Qing remained motionless, and the curvature of the corners of his lips remained unchanged. "So what about the discussion."

"That's true." The other party nodded with a look of deep sense, "Then I'll just say it, I think it's rotten."

"..." Lu Qingze, "It sounds like you are more courageous than me."

"Isn't that what you told me to say?"

Lu Qing said in his heart, and he didn't let you say so bluntly.

"The first emperor was obsessed with spiritual practice and ignored the government. He has been in power for more than 20 years and has accumulated many abuses. Headed by the chief minister of the cabinet, a new party was formed." The other party did not shy away from it, shaking the wine cup, talking and laughing freely, "I am far away in Lin'an Prefecture, and I have heard many things from the capital. The Guards are so arrogant. I'm afraid that Wei Shoufu didn't expect it, he couldn't control it, and Yanggu was finally backfired... Oh, I said so much inadvertently, is it okay to say it?"

Lu Qing listened quietly, nodding his head: "The wall has no ears, of course it's fine."

"Then do you have anything else to ask?"

Lu Qing leaned forward slightly, his warm and quiet eyes stared at the face of the opposite person without blinking: "Your Excellency has already expressed his opinions on the former emperor, the imperial court and Wei Shoufu, why not be bolder and say yes Your Majesty's opinion today?"

This time, the young man who had been talking eloquently for a long time fell silent, tapped his fingertips on the edge of the wine cup, and then said, "I've heard about Jiang You, but it's quite unexpected. I think His Majesty the Emperor took the risk of coming to Jiangyou in person for three reasons. One is to catch the head of the guard, the other is to save the victims from the fire and water, and the third is to gain fame. I did not expect that His Majesty would be like this people."

"Oh?" Lu Qing raised his eyebrows, "What did you think Your Majesty was like?"

The other party was quiet for a while, and spit out a few words: "killing and brutal, cold-blooded and ruthless, unscrupulous."

The wind on the lake was cool, but Lu Qing didn't notice it, his back tensed up at some point, and he stared at him without saying a word.

The young man drank another glass of wine calmly: "You've already asked me three questions. To be fair, it's time for me to ask you."

Lu Qing anticipated what he wanted to ask, and said lightly, "Please tell me."

"Teacher Lu, aren't you from Lin'an Prefecture?" The other party smiled, "Why can't you even understand Lin'an dialect?"

Lu Qing didn't blink: "I've been away for many years, and I'm just a little dazed when I hear the local accent. But Mr. Duan, you have revealed my identity in one word. It seems that you have planned for a long time, and you have sent someone to stare at me, which looks even more suspicious. "

Duan Lingguang sighed: "It's been a long time. Ever since I heard that you are still alive, I have wondered if you will come. After all, the resurrection of the dead may be a coincidence?"

He actually said it directly.

Lu Qing glanced at him, his fingertips didn't even tremble, and he peeled off a water chestnut without showing any abnormal color.

Seeing that he was so calm and stable, he didn't even have the slightest emotional ups and downs. Duan Lingguang, who was so excited that he wanted to jump into the lake for three laps, held back for a while, but he still couldn't hold back. You came to me specifically to ask what the little emperor is doing, don't pretend, I've already guessed it!"

Lu Qing handed a water chestnut to his mouth, and said calmly: "Yes."

Duan Lingguang moved closer to him excitedly: "I've been here for seven or eight years, how about you?"

Lu Qingze: "A little later than you."

"..." Duan Lingguang slapped the table, "Why are you so calm? Are you not excited!"

Lu Qing measured his own pulse, and felt that his heartbeat should not exceed [-]. After thinking about it, "Is it okay?"

Just now when he saw Duan Lingguang who took the initiative to make trouble on the shore, he was slightly puzzled. When he sat down and listened to his remarks, he vaguely guessed it, and his heart really didn't have much ups and downs.

Lu Qingze's calmness is very contagious, and Duan Lingguang's mood quickly cooled down. He sat back silently and peeled water chestnuts together, and said brokenly: "My original body was framed by my stepmother and pushed into the water to drown. I died suddenly while working overtime, and I appeared here when I opened my eyes again. Fortunately, I have read the original text and understood the plot..."

Lu Qing listened to him, and put another crispy and sweet water chestnut into his mouth: "Can I ask you another question?"

"Tell me, just say it."

"Since you treat His Majesty that way," Lu Qing stared into his eyes, "Are you going to follow the original plot?"

Duan Lingguang shook his head decisively: "No."

Duan Lingguang also put a water chestnut into his mouth, right to serve the food and drink, and shook his finger: "I was a social animal in my previous life, and a salted fish in this life, whoever wants to rebel will go. The protagonist in the original book can't beat your little emperor, let alone me Well, wouldn’t it be good to stay in Lin’an Mansion? The family has a mansion, a lot of money, no worries about food and drink, and when you’re too busy to get moldy, you can still fight in the house, adjust your life, how nourishing it is.”

Seeing his sincere expression, he was afraid of avoiding the original development route, but Lu Qing confirmed that what he said was the truth, the corners of his mouth curled up, showing the first sincere smile, and his raised hand remained calm put it down.

Ning Juan was always worried that Lu Qing would be in danger, so before going to the south of the Yangtze River, he ordered someone to modify a flying arrow in his sleeve.

It's a very delicate gadget, buckled on the wrist, and the weight is almost imperceptible. There are three poisoned sleeve arrows inside. Press the mechanism lightly, and the poisonous arrows will fly out. The emphasis is on surprise.

Regardless of whether Duan Lingguang is from his hometown or not, he doesn't really want to kill someone who hasn't done something.

Besides, Duan Lingguang, like him, came from another world.

It is best not to kill people.

Duan Lingguang passed by without noticing the danger, drank another glass of wine, and looked slightly drunk: "I am planning to stay in Lin'an Mansion for the elderly, how about you? The capital city is different from Lin'an Mansion, and you are the teacher of the little emperor. The position is so conspicuous, it's quite dangerous. After you get rid of Wei Shoufu, will you continue to be an official in the court?"

Although Lu Qing treats people with kindness and kindness, he is alienated inside and rarely talks about his thoughts. It is rare to meet a fellow countryman. After pondering for a while, he replied: "No, after doing what I can, I am going to resign. , walk around."

In my previous life, I was trapped in the same place because of a heart attack. If I can no longer walk around in this life, I would be ashamed of my second life.

Duan Lingguang applauded: "Retiring bravely in a rapid flow is called knowing the opportunity! Let me just say, there are so many rules, and you are still not afraid of staying with the tyrant who is rumored to be uncertain and murderous like hemp?"

Lu Qing frowned slightly, and retorted without thinking: "He is not that tyrant."

Ning Juan was a bit snarky, but in front of him, that child was just the cute Ning Guoguo.

Cute as a puppy.

Duan Lingguang saw him defending Ning Juan so much, he clicked his tongue and said, "You guys are quite affectionate as teachers and students, but...brother, we came from the same place, so I'll be honest, we've seen so many According to history books, the emperor's teacher is a high-risk occupation. It is common to kill donkeys and cook rabbits to death. If you want to leave at that time, the little emperor may not let you go, so you should be careful."

There was a faint light in Lu Qingze's eyes, and he shook his head decisively: "He won't."

Seeing that he trusted the little emperor so much, Duan Lingguang stopped persuading him, even if he was from the same township, it would be annoying if he made noise.

The painting boat drifted to the center of the lake at some point and approached another huge boat.

The building boat was majestic and imposing. Nearly a hundred people on the ship's side were patrolling with knives in an orderly manner. Although they were all wearing plain clothes, Lu Qing was too familiar with that temperament. He could tell something was wrong just by glancing at it.

They are all palace guards.

At this moment, surrounded by people, a familiar figure appeared on the side of the boat, the wind was strong on the lake, that black figure stood still, standing out from the crowd, tall and handsome, with a noble temperament.

I don't know what the people around him are talking about, but that person seems to have glanced this way.

Master Lu, who was still calm and calm even if he met another resurrected corpse, suddenly became a little uneasy, turned his head quickly, and said urgently, "Get away from this building boat!"

Duan Lingguang said "ah" in a daze, clapped his hands, and ordered to go on.

The painting boat hurriedly pulled away, as if very guilty.

Lu Qingze's heart beat so fast that he rarely cursed in his heart.

These local officials can't count the number of grand sights in Lin'an, so there is no other place to go, no other entertainment?

Why is Ning Juan invited to row the boat every time the banquet ends?

Aren't you afraid of giving His Majesty a headache by blowing it up?

Also not clearing the field.

Even though there were thousands of words, Lu Qing slandered for a long time, but he could only sum up one sentence: There are so many pleasure boats nearby, Ning Juan shouldn't have seen him, right?

He was sitting in the painting boat, the night was blurry, and he was far away, shouldn't, shouldn't.

Duan Lingguang also came to his senses: "The people on that boat just now were violent... your emperor's student?"

Lu Qing rubbed his forehead, his eyes still fell on the big boat, seeing that Ning Juan was still surrounded by a group of officials, looking at the night scene of Lin'an Mansion with his hands behind his back, he was half relieved. He nodded and said, "I was almost seen."

Duan Lingguang: "...Even if you are seen, what are you doing so guilty? You are the emperor's teacher, and he still cares about you making friends? You didn't come to me to plot a rebellion."

He shook his head while talking: "When I met my fellow countryman, I never saw you have such big emotional ups and downs. Tsk, the way you looked just now looks like a little daughter-in-law who was caught by your husband."

You can really describe.

Lu Qing gave him a cool look.

Duan Lingguang looked over there again, and made gestures: "Across such a long distance, according to my experience, when viewed from that building boat, the painting boats below are densely packed with black spots. Finding out which boat is a problem, let alone seeing the people on it, let alone seeing who is who on the boat.”

Makes sense.

Lu Qing was completely relieved.

Duan Lingguang sat back and looked at the mask on his face curiously: "I heard that you were wearing a mask all the time to protect the little emperor because your face was injured. Is it true?"

There are actually many people who know that Lu Qing is not disfigured, but they are all from Ning Juan, with Chen Xiaodao, and recently Xu Shu.

This fellow villager was so frank, Lu Qing didn't think there was any problem with showing his face - he covered his face at first to avoid trouble like Ning Cong, and secondly to lie to the little emperor.

Most of the ingredients are round lies.

After all, there are so many perverts like Ning Cong, and he is not a sweet potato. Anyone who sees him wants to take a bite and take it home.

The boat tried its best to stay away from the center of the lake. There were no other boats around, and the two banks were quiet.

Lu Qing raised his hand and took off his mask.

The sparkling light refracted from the lake, and jumped onto his face and eyes.

For a moment, Duan Lingguang felt as if he saw a touch of moonlight like snow.

He pressed back the big grin that he couldn't hold back after seeing his fellow countrymen, and his breathing eased a little. After a while, he nodded in agreement: "Your face should be covered up, put the mask back on quickly."

Lu Qing gave him a strange look, and put the mask back on: "Am I so shameless?"

Is that how you understand it? !

Duan Lingguang was hesitant to speak for a while, and suddenly remembered some familiar literature. The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he asked tentatively, "Did you read a lot of novels before?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "I only read one book."

It is the original work confiscated from the students.

Duan Lingguang stopped talking and wanted to: "Then have you ever heard of a novel called Master Master..."

After seeing Lu Qingze's face, he suddenly felt that Lu Qingze's profession was more dangerous.

Lu Qingze's eyes showed three points of doubt: "What is that?"

The eyes of the person on the other side were so clean, Duan Lingguang felt that what he said was a kind of insult, he opened his mouth, finally swallowed the words back, and shook his fan embarrassingly: "It's nothing, it's just that I wandered off for a while, thinking wildly, You don't have to worry about it."

He must have thought too much, the original book is a rebellious plot!

Lu Qing didn't ask further, he wasn't so curious, but thought of another thing: "Brother Duan, can I do you a favor?"

"Tell me." Duan Lingguang said, "As long as I can do it."

"It shouldn't be too much trouble," Lu Qing smiled, "I'm supposed to go back to Beijing with His Majesty tomorrow, after we leave, can you ask someone to make a 'Lu Qingze' spirit card, Put it in the Lu family's ancestral house?"

Duan Lingguang was so shocked by these remarks that his fans fell off, and he was stunned for a long time before he understood what he meant: "You scared me... It's no problem, what's the matter, leave it to me."

Lu Qing was not in good health. After blowing the wind for a while, after withdrawing his thoughts, he realized that his whole body was chilling, and he felt a faint discomfort. He rubbed his forehead again, and found that the headache was not an illusion. Come on, I should go back."

Duan Lingguang couldn't hold back his words, but seeing that his lips were turning pale, he asked someone to come to the shore.

Lu Qing was afraid that the lotus would be exposed if he took it back, so he didn't take it away. He went ashore and nodded slightly at Duan Lingguang: "It's our mutual secret to meet tonight, and I will come to see you again if I come to An'an in the future."

Duan Lingguang felt a bit regretful, but he didn't hold back either. Standing on the boat, he spread his fan and said with a smile, "Be careful in everything in the capital, and have a safe journey. Hope to see you again, fellow countryman."

Lu Qing waved at him, turned and left, looking for the way back.

This place is a bit far away from the palace, and Lu Qing was weak and weak. He walked for a while, stopped for a while, and took a while before returning to the side door of the palace that was agreed upon.

Chen Xiaodao sat on the steps without daring to light the lantern. After fighting against the buzzing mosquitoes for a long time in the night, seeing Lu Qingze finally came back, he patted his chest and said, "Master, why did you come back a moment late?" ,Scared me."

Lu Qing handed him the lotus cake specially bought on the road, and the corners of his eyes were bent: "I talked to Mr. Duan a few more words, and it was a little delayed. Didn't anyone find out?"

"I'm doing business, son, don't worry!" Seeing the delicious food, Chen Xiaodao's eyes lit up, he happily took it and hugged it in his arms, and led Lu Qing into the side door.

Lu Qing suddenly remembered meeting Ning Juan on the lake, and felt a little uneasy: "Has Your Majesty returned?"

"No," Chen Xiaodao was very sure, "There is no movement ahead. When I came to the side door to wait for you, Changshun was still there. If His Majesty returns, everyone in the palace will know, so don't worry. Look at you Your lips are so pale, go back to the house and take a bath, change your clothes, drink a bowl of medicine and go to sleep, if you fall down from the wind and cold again, Your Majesty will be in a hurry again."

Lu Qing didn't want to drink the medicine and pretended not to hear the last sentence.

Chen Xiaodao was not in a hurry to eat the lotus cake. After sending Lu Qing to the door, he quickly ran to the kitchen to fetch the medicine.

Lu Qing looked at his back as he left in a hurry, smiled helplessly, opened the door and walked into the room.

The house was so dark that I couldn't see anything clearly.

He recalled where the fire folder was placed, and slowly touched the edge of the canopy bed, when he was caught off guard by something and fell forward uncontrollably.

In the next moment, Lu Qing broke out in a cold sweat.

Instead of falling onto the soft bedding, he fell into a hot embrace.

The cold fingers were grasped by the opponent.

When entering the room, the smell of sweet wine floated in the air.

A faint voice like thunder came from above the head: "Where did you go? Lu Huaixue."
