Survival countdown

After entering the inn, Zhao Baiyu took Ruoshan around, and on the way to the room, he asked one more question: "Which army did your lover originally belong to?"

Ruoshan: "He said that he was a fan soldier under the Yanyan Army led by King Lin'an County, the God of War in the Northwest.

Such a coincidence?

Zhao Baiyu looked at Huo Jingtang.

Huo Jingtang: "Being able to be an armored cavalryman shows that he is indeed brave and good at fighting. He should have been on the battlefield and made a lot of military achievements."

Ruoshan nodded repeatedly.

Zhao Baiyu: "According to your description, he also has ten years of military service, so he should be able to register in Dajing, get Susukita and some assets."

Ruoshan: "Brother Sangji said that he is already an acquaintance, but he has to go through the procedures, and he may not be able to get off after a year or so."

"I guarantee that he will get an acquainted household registration soon." Zhao Baiyu smiled and asked her, "If I ask you to marry your lover tonight, would you like it?"

Ruoshan was stunned: "The adults above will arrest us and behead us..."

Zhao Baiyu: "If I'm worried about this, I don't need to ask if you want to get married tonight? Just say you agree or not. If you agree, find an errand runner to inform your parents and your lover immediately, and make arrangements quickly."

Ruoshan blushed with shame and nodded.

"That's okay, go to the nunnery with me first."

***

Surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers outside the inn, ordinary people were frightened and fled in all directions. In an instant, the crowded city turned into a crowded place, and even the boss and the staff found a corner to hide.

Damu led a few capable subordinates into the backyard of the inn, stood in the middle of the courtyard, and waved his hand regardless of which room Zhao Baiyu and the others lived in, "Get all of them out!"

The subordinates were ordered to kick open the door one by one. The people who were caught inside were still cursing whether there was any kingly law, but when they saw Damu and the officers and soldiers in military uniform outside, they fell silent for a moment.

When one of the subordinates walked to the middle room and was about to kick the door, the door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man with an extraordinary bearing walked out. With just one look, he was about to yell and scold. It was like walking in the desert wilderness and being watched by a pack of wolves, or like the two armies fighting and encountering the ferocious Daxia Rentu, so that he hesitated for a long time and dared not speak.

Huo Jingtang withdrew his gaze and walked forward, following behind him as if he were looking for faults, but instead seemed to be his follower.

"Who are you looking for?"

Su Damu looked at him suspiciously, and the former thug hurried forward and said, "It's not the one who talked to the younger one before, but seeing him with extraordinary appearance and imposing appearance, he should be the other one in the carriage, who is also an accomplice."

Huo Jingtang put his hands in his hands, lowered his eyes, and asked with a sleepy expression: "Tell me, why do you disturb people's dreams at night? Arresting people or doing something wrong? All the people living in this courtyard are traveling businessmen who earn a living, don't you?" embarrass them."

Damu laughed when he heard the words, "You are very interesting, you are worried about others when you can't protect yourself? Let me ask you, did the little nun tell you to hide in the house?"

Huo Jingtang: "What little nun? I'm not a nunnery or temple. I don't have the tools to help people shave or become monks, nor do I have any interest in taking in nuns and monks."

Damu winked, and someone rushed into Huo Jingtang's room to search, but as soon as he stepped through the threshold, Huo Jingtang said: "I know exactly how many things are in the room, and I will follow the rules of the Northwest Tibetans." If there is one less thing, one thing on your body will be broken, and the appearance and appearance of the adults are also from the tribe, so you should know the rules."

The person who searched the house froze when he heard the words. In fact, he had done a lot of burglary and search. Dare not say anything.

Unexpectedly, it was not a good stubble.

With his hands behind his back, Damu walked around Huo Jingtang twice: "It turns out that you are not a stunned young man, then you should know whose territory Jingzhou belongs to."

Huo Jingtang had a half-smile but not a smile: "Surprised Keshan is famous, I am naturally heard, and the rest... there are a few famous generals with good reputations. A while ago, the Ning'an Village guard who fought against Daxia's [-] troops with [-] soldiers and The guard of Tiandu Village is not bad, and his name is in the northwest. Hiss—I remember that the guard of Tiandu Village is called Shudan? He is called General Tiebi, and he is said to be the son of Marshal Ji Keshan.

Damu's face became much more gloomy, and he stared at Huo Jingtang coldly.

The thugs behind him understood comprehendingly: "Praise you a few words, are you still breathless? That Shudan is just the nephew of Marshal Ji, what kind of General Iron Wall? A bear who abandoned the city and fled, has a vain reputation!"

Damu suddenly turned his head and glared at the thug. The latter realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly bowed his head and backed away.

Huo Jingtang: "Isn't it the son of the marshal?"

Ji Damu: "Why do you say that? Could it be that after leaving Jingzhou, other people think that Ji Dan is the son of Marshal Ji?"

Huo Jingtang made a hesitant expression, as if realizing that the situation was wrong, he laughed and said, "Maybe I misunderstood."

Xu Damu naturally didn't believe what he said, but he didn't want to ask him in detail, but he believed it a little bit, and the haze in his heart deepened, and he hated Ji Dan even more.

At this time, the people who searched the house ran out to report: "My lord, no one was found."

Damu: "Where did your partner hide that little nun?"

Huo Jingtang: "Let me tell you the truth, I really haven't seen any little nun."

"Don't tell the truth? Fine, follow me to the Yamen. I'll sue the officials about this matter, I have a lot of witnesses!" Damu waved: "Take it away!"

Huo Jingtang's figure appeared behind Jing Damu in a flash, striding forward: "Let's go."

Amazed Damu was startled, turned around quickly, put on a little bit of guard, he was not weak, he didn't know the opponent's martial arts at all just now, if he wanted to take his head, it would be better to have it in his bag Fetch?

He quickly waved his hands: "You all stand in front of me and stare at him to death. Leave a few more people here to watch, and take down his accomplice immediately when he comes back!"

***

It was getting late, but the torches were still lit at the Yamen of the prefect of Jingzhou, and the public hall was opened. There were sleepy-eyed servants on both sides. Sue what?"

Jing Damu stepped forward to explain the cause and effect, Meng Tianzong frowned: "It's that shameless little nun again?" He slapped the gavel and asked Huo Jingtang: "Say! Are you interested in sex? Where are you hiding people?"

Huo Jingtang didn't speak.

Damu then leaned on the case table and said: "He refuses to admit that his partner stole or hid people, but some of my subordinates saw it with their own eyes, and the innkeeper and tourists can all testify."

Even if Meng Tian asked people to bring the witness back, as Yu Damu said, they all saw this person and his accomplices bring back a little nun.

The innkeeper still trembled and said: "I am deeply impressed, because the two have beautiful faces and elegant demeanors, it is impossible to forget them when they meet, not to mention that they were accompanied by a pretty little nun at the time. The gentleman came to ask if there was a back door, and then he took the little nun and left through the back door. As for where he went, I don’t know."

Meng Tianzong knocked on the gavel again and asked, "You still don't admit it?"

Huo Jingtang suddenly realized: "So you are talking about that little lady named Ruoshan?"

Damu: "What are you pretending? I just asked you over and over again where you hid that little nun. Your mouth is as hard as a naan that has been frozen in the ice and snow. Now that you have been identified by so many people in the court, you can't hide it." Just remembered? Could it be that you have taken in many nuns in one day?"

"No, just one. But she says she's not a nun."

"Not to mention anything else, her Haiqing robe is only available in the nunnery, and only nuns can wear it! She said no, so you believe it?"

"I am a pure and good person, and I have always been easy to confide in others."

"Fuck your mother! Why don't you go out of the yamen's gate to find dog urine and see how much of your honor can you see the word "chunliang?" Damu was deeply stimulated.

Huo Jingtang's tone was cold: "You can't judge people by their appearance."

Damu clutched his anxious heart, it was the first time he saw such a brazen person.

When he was extremely angry, he became sober, and instead of entangled with him, he turned around and said to Meng Tianzong: "My lord heard it too, he admitted that he and his accomplices wanted to hide the nun because of their sex, but they messed around here, obviously trying to delay the time. I don't know if there are other plots and tricks, but the night is long and the dream is too much. The adults quickly sentenced them to kidnapping women from good families, blaspheming the gods and Buddhas, breaking their limbs and driving them out of Jingzhou mansion, and then ordered people to search for his accomplice and the little nun in the whole city. The skin of the little nun confesses to the gods and Buddhas!"

Meng Tianzong agreed with the previous proposal, but he disagreed with the last point: "It's good to drive the person back to the nunnery, and there is no need to pick her skin. In this way, when the person is caught, she will be imprisoned in the nunnery, and then her The lover was driven out of Jingzhou Mansion, the son did not teach his father's fault, and the daughter did not act as a virtuous mother, so he arrested the little nun's parents, beat them with a board, and tattooed their faces, what does the military master think?"

The punishment was not painful or itchy, and Damu was not happy: "Master Meng is too partial to that little nun. You must know that our tribe respects Buddha and worships Buddha, and this little nun has repeatedly broken the dogma, and has long caused dissatisfaction among the people. The leader of the Tibetan tribe came to me to sue, insisting on punishing the little nun. You are good, you are always partial."

Meng Tianzong's face changed, he was a bit pedantic, he was dissatisfied with the nun's adultery, it was indecent, and he also had the consideration of quelling the objections of the Tibetans, now hearing what Damu said, he knew in his heart that he was seeking revenge for selfishness, and he couldn't be kind Meaning, but there is no way.

He was able to invite Ji Keshan before because he believed in Buddhism, but now if he finds out that the little nun is having an affair with a man, his methods may be more cruel than Ji Damu.

Keshan's attitude will determine the attitude of the other chiefs of the Tibetan clan in the mansion. If he thinks that Dajing doesn't respect their cultural beliefs and caused Jingzhou to be in turmoil, the court will blame him, and he can't bear it.

After thinking about it, Meng Tian decided to take Damu's opinion and interrogated Huo Jingtang: "Tell me the hiding place of your accomplice and the little nun, otherwise don't blame the government for calling all the guys in the yamen. On you! Your delicate skin and tender flesh can't bear it, so quickly and honestly recruit it."

Huo Jingtang clasped his fingers, twirled his thumbs, and nodded when he heard the words: "People don't fight with officials, I understand, I cooperate...Let me think about where I went? The little nun is going back to where she lives, do adults know where she lives?"

"Of course the nun lives in the nunnery!"

"Which nunnery?"

"Of course it's living... Do you ask this mansion or this mansion asks you? Words and deeds are insignificant, domineering." Meng Tian glanced at Huo Jingtang, and was just about to send someone to the nunnery to arrest him when he saw an officer and soldier outside wait and see.

Damu walked out of the courtroom, listened to the officers and soldiers talking, couldn't help but smile, turned his head and looked at Meng Tianzong, he thought for a while and said: "Privately bring a few more people to the nunnery to catch that little girl. , don’t let her run away! You don’t need to send her to the Yamen, just send her to my mansion.”

After saying that, he went back to the court and said to Meng Tianzong: "My lord, there is no need to send people over, his accomplice was caught when he went back to the inn, and he is coming here."

As soon as the words were finished, a figure walked out of the screen wall, passed through the atrium, and ran into the court in a hurry, and the yamen guard didn't even have time to stop him.

Meng Tian Zong asked: "Who is here, why did you break into the court?"

Zhao Baiyu was surprised and said, "Didn't your lord look for me?"

"When did I...you are his accomplice?"

Zhao Baiyu nodded.

"Someone accused you of abducting a nun, can you admit it?"

"I can't admit it." Zhao Baiyu explained honestly: "The situation at that time was that dozens of vicious men were chasing a poor weak woman. Save it? So I lied to them, hid the person, and sent it back."

Meng Tianzong: "Since it's saving people, it's fine to just send them back to the nunnery, why bother to go to the inn? You didn't have an affair with that little nun?"

"What are you talking about! That little girl didn't even enter my room, she walked around the backyard of the inn before going out through the back door. If you don't believe me, ask the inn's horse feeder and the waiter in the shop, you can testify. "

Meng Tianzong asked the witness again, he did not bring the little nun into the room, so he can't blame them, it was indeed a misunderstanding, the original intention was to act bravely, and he sent them back, so he wanted to release the two of them in court, but Da Mu came out sound blocking.

"Right now, they can say whatever they want. If the little girl is not in the nunnery at all, the two of them will join hands to lie and deceive the adults in order to get rid of the crime. After they get out of the yamen, wouldn't the world be open to the sky and let the birds fly?"

With his back turned to Meng Tianzong, Damu raised a gloomy and calculating smile.

Anyway, his people went one step ahead to rob the little girl, and waited for Meng Tianzong's people to search again. If they didn't see anyone, they would ask the two people in front of them. What crimes are they not allowed to frame?

Man, he wants to get it!

Those who offend him cannot be let go!

Sure enough, Meng Tianzong took his suggestion and ordered Zhao Baiyu to stay first, and asked someone to go to the nunnery to find the little nun Ruoshan.

After a long while, Meng Tianzong's people appeared outside the court with an anxious expression on his face.Meng Tianzong suspected that something was wrong, he went to ask and found out that no one was found.

"Have you searched all over?"

"I've searched all over! They said they brought him to the nunnery for less than a quarter of an hour, and then took him away! And they said..."

"say what?"

"That little girl has turned vulgar!"

Meng Tian didn't hit a single place, pointed at him and said: "Go to the court and tell everything you heard!"

When the subordinate heard the order to repeat it in the courtroom, Meng Tianzong frowned and said: "Impossible. At the beginning, in order to refuse the marriage proposal, she had already stated clearly in front of the house and the marshal that she would never return to vulgarity, so this time she had an affair with a man. Only those who want to return to the vulgar marriage will be rejected by the government, which makes the Tibetans resentful." He turned to ask Zhao Baiyu: "What method did you use to make her return to the vulgar? But using power to suppress people, coercion and temptation?"

Zhao Baiyu: "My lord thinks that I am powerful?"

Meng Tianzong: "Looking at your extraordinary bearing, you should have some power in your hands, but no matter who you are, no matter who you are, you have to abide by the rules when you arrive in Jingzhou! Everything in this government is done according to the law, and all decisions are based on the stability of the northwest. And thinking about it, you have a clear conscience. But you, in the courtroom, are full of lies in an attempt to deceive the judge, it seems that you can't tell the truth without calling something real. Come on—"

"Slow. I did save the man, sent him back to the nunnery from the inn, and then I redeemed him."

"Redemption, redemption?" Meng Tianzong was dumbfounded.

what is this?

Damu snatched the gavel and clapped angrily: "I have only heard that cheap people or prostitutes can be redeemed, I only know that nuns can be redeemed, but I have never heard that nuns can be redeemed. What are you doing? Hall of Fame?"

"This is why you are ignorant. Emperor Liang Wu of the Southern Liang Dynasty worshiped and revered the Buddha, even more than the Tibetans. He became a monk four times, and was redeemed by ministers with huge sums of money three times. In the previous dynasty, the imperial concubine became a monk twice. When the Taoist nun was redeemed and returned to continue to marry as a woman. The emperor and concubine can still be able, so why can’t the little nun Ruoshan be redeemed? What’s more, it’s human nature for a nun to be in love after two years, and even the Buddha has the beauty of adulthood. The nuns who have become monks return to vulgar life, why can’t they come to your Jingzhou? Take a step back, the northwest is vast but the population is far less dense than the Central Plains, and this is a border area, manpower is needed to defend against foreign enemies, everywhere is needed People, population is wealth, how can we create population if we don’t let people get married? Don’t you think you’re too idle to manage the world and the nun’s marriage?”

Su Damu doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas at all, and he doesn't know if he is right, anyway, it's right to scold first.

"Excessive words! Don't be fooled, Mr. Meng. There is no such thing as redemption or redemption in Buddhism of our tribe."

Zhao Baiyu: "Your Tibetan Buddhism was passed down from the Central Plains back then, why don't you recognize your ancestors?"

Meng Tianzong, one head and two big, asked his master to ask Zhao Baiyu if his theory of redemption was reasonable.

The master said in a low voice: "He is right, it is reasonable to be able to redeem it. The little nun swore at the beginning that she would never return to the vulgar, so she can't return to the vulgar, but if someone redeems it, even Marshal Jing can't say anything, let alone the Northwest Tibetans. Leaders."

Meng Tianzong didn't want the little nun's life, and he didn't allow her to return to vulgarity, probably because the other party had sworn before the Buddha and other clans, and he was afraid of provoking the anger of the tribes by condemning her to return to vulgarity, but when a perfect solution appeared in front of her , he was still dissatisfied.

No matter whether Zhao Baiyu redeemed the nun for bed warming or the beauty of an adult, he felt uncomfortable.

play nun?Marry a nun?

Indecent.

But he still said: "He is right here, the government can only acquit him and release him. As for the little nun, since he redeemed it, how to deal with it is his business."

After saying that, he was ready to let people go home.

Damu still refused to let it go: "The little nun can get married as long as she returns to vulgarity. I beg you to take her as a concubine, and the magistrate will be a witness." He took two steps forward, and threatened in a low voice: "Outsider, don't be afraid." Interesting. If you don’t hand over the little nun... I won’t do anything to you, but her lover and her lover’s parents can’t say it. Even the emperor can't interfere."

Zhao Baiyu showed surprise: "So general, you did so many things just to marry her? You said it earlier! You belong to a family, and if Miss Ruoshan follows you, she will have endless glory and wealth for a lifetime, but... ...Alas! I just married her. Didn't you say so sooner? Am I not hindering one's future? Alas."

Su Damu and Meng Tianzong were surprised at the same time, "You just redeemed him and you married him off right away?"

"Ah, Lang has a love affair with a concubine, and I can't wait. I can't stop it even if I want to."

"You!" Damu rolled his eyes angrily.

At this time, a subordinate came to him and whispered a few words, and Damu became angry: "Who do you think you married that nun to?"

"It's her lover, what's his name?"

"Sosangji?"

"It's him."

Damu turned around and said to Meng Tianzong: "Master Zhifu, I remember that the Dajing law clearly stipulates that the people of Dajing are not allowed to marry other races! If the marriage is private, the men and women will be tattooed, the property will be confiscated, and the reconciliation will be ordered, and then the offender's family will be questioned." , Slapping the board at the slightest and exile at the worst."

Meng Tianzong nodded again and again: "It is indeed strictly prohibited. You think it is the beauty of adults, but you don't know that it has harmed two families."

Dajing is different from the previous dynasties. It is true that intermarriage with other races is prohibited. For this reason, he set an example and refused the princess's marriage.

"Foreigners refer to the people who are not our Dajing people, not the Fans. The Fans also have new households and acquaintances. Those who are acquainted are the people of our Dajing. They are not of different races and can intermarry."

Damu seized the clue and said: "You are right, but Suosangji is still a newcomer, a foreign race!"

"It's not anymore." Huo Jingtang took the initiative to open the mouth and took out a letter, "This is written by General Cui, the Marquis of Duyu, and Suo Sangji was given household registration and a reward based on his ten-year military achievements."

"Hurry up and let me have a look." Meng Tianzong took the letter and read it with his master. The two discussed it and confirmed that the seal on the letter was indeed from General Yan Yanjun, so he calmed down and said, "Since it is General Cui Xiao Instructions, the government will implement Suosangji's household registration procedures at a certain date. The little nun is a layman after being redeemed, and she can marry as she pleases. Suosangji is an acquaintance, so she can intermarry with Dajing people, and it is not against the law."

As soon as he thought of the strategy, he realized that someone had already run ahead of him and blocked the road. Whoever he was, would have to suffer, but he is not an ordinary person. Children from the family?

Seeing Su Damu's gloomy face, unable to hide his killing intent, Meng Tianzong reminded: "Above the court, don't make trouble, if Marshal Su knows, it may be difficult to end."

"Don't use my father to suppress me! Meng Tianzong, I have endured you for a long time, don't think that I don't know that you see my father favoring Dan Dan, so you make things difficult for me everywhere, but in the end I am the leader of the Ji family. The legitimate son of Bajing, my mother stands behind the three most powerful clans among the eight major clans of the Northwest Fan tribe. My father will not dare to recognize her when my mother is here! I want to replace you. An obedient dog can do it by hooking his fingers."

"You—" Meng Tianzong's face was pale, both angry and frightened.

Jian Damu was too lazy to look at him anymore, turned his head to stare at Zhao Baiyu and Huo Jingtang, with a smirk: "I have never touched a wall since I was born, wait, let's take it slowly. "

Huo Jingtang: "Waiting for you anytime."

Damu snorted coldly, shook his sleeves and left.

The courtroom was quite quiet, Meng Tianzong returned the letter and asked: "Do you two know General Cui?"

Huo Jingtang: "Not familiar."

Zhao Baiyu: "I've met you a few times."

Meng Tian Zong laughed, and said to them: "Just now you also saw Ji Damu's arrogant and domineering appearance, even the magistrate of my state dared to threaten him, but before he tried to force that little nun into the mansion but failed, do you know the reason? That’s right, because Marshal Keshan and the chiefs of the Fan clan felt that this act humiliated the Buddha, so Damu had to succumb. I can’t bear the tragic death of the woman in the Mood for Love. ..."

He lowered his voice and said: "Although there are precedents to follow for redemption, it is reasonable to say that there is no way to pursue it, but it is not allowed to be pedantic and think that you are taking advantage of loopholes to provoke the army of the family and shake the family of the family. I don’t think the two of you are like powerless people, but a strong dragon will not overwhelm a snake, so it’s better to leave as soon as possible.”

Huo Jingtang and Zhao Baiyu looked at each other, Zhao Baiyu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Lord Meng, for reminding me, I won't stay here for long, I'll leave in a few days. Now that the case is over, shall I leave first?"

Meng Tian nodded again and again, waved his hands to send them away.

The two walked forward side by side and walked to the atrium of the yamen.

Zhao Baiyu said in a low voice: "You said before that he is good in politics and not good in military affairs. I don't really believe it. Now it seems that his evaluation is not wrong."

Huo Jingtang: "He guessed that we were of extraordinary status before, and he didn't dare to offend us, and he couldn't offend Ji Damu, so he pretended to handle it impartially, but in fact he let himself be led away throughout the whole process, standing on whichever side was reasonable, standing There will always be no mistakes on the side of reasoning, anyway, in the end, no matter if it is Yu Damu or Yu Keshan, the hatred will come to us ninety-nine out of ten."

Zhao Baiyu: "After being offended, Damu complained to us and showed his kindness to us. He was not confused to the end, nor bad to the end, so he would not carelessly ignore human lives. The soldiers of Daxia came, and Keshan accepted the peace talks without sending reinforcements. Meng Tianzong There is no objection or it may be persuaded by Ji Keshan, after all, the imperial court's policy towards Xia in recent years has been mainly peace talks."

Huo Jingtang: "I'm still confused. It's okay to be an idle official in a Taiping prefecture, but an official in this border prefecture needs to know how to deploy troops and fight. It's easy to step up when there are no generals or confused generals. without serious casualties.”

Tiandu Village and Ning'an Village had [-] soldiers defending to death. Huo Jingtang was not angry, but it was not the time.

Meng Tianzong estimated that he was transferred to Jingzhou because of his good political achievements, and since Jingyuan Road had not been attacked for many years, the prefect position has been safely seated until now.

Zhao Baiyu: "He didn't recognize the seal on the letter as yours?"

Huo Jingtang: "The official seal is more or less similar. I made it shallow. The fire in the courtroom is not very bright. Meng Tianzong's eyesight seems to be not very good. He probably can't recognize who the official seal is, but it is possible to guess that I am the owner of the official seal. .”

Zhao Baiyu: "Guess you are Adjutant Cui?"

Huo Jingtang: "I said it casually, forgive him Meng Tian, ​​even though he could see the seal clearly, he didn't dare to shout loudly even if he knew my identity."

Zhao Baiyu: "Ji Keshan must be involved in this matter. The news that the Jingdu government sent a strategic envoy to Shaanxi should also reach the hands of the generals. He will send someone to test my attitude."

Huo Jingtang: "Jian Damu's tone of voice when he mentioned Ji Dan couldn't hide his jealousy and jealousy, which shows that Ji Dan is far more favored by Ji Keshan than rumored, and may even replace Ji Damu as the new leader of the tribe. "

Zhao Baiyu: "The aristocratic family behind Yu Damu will never agree." He smiled suddenly, "This is interesting, if Ji Keshan guessed my identity, he must also be able to guess that the suspicion of Tiandu Village has spread. "Your Majesty suspects him, the Ji family army, and maybe all the Tibetans. I am the one who came to investigate this matter. I don't know how many details of the Tiandu Village battle the eight major clans scattered in the northwest know, and who will Come to me first."

Huo Jingtang responded lazily: "Wait. Why do I feel that Xiao Lang is a little gloating?"

Zhao Baiyu smiled and said, "I'm going to be a gossip stick. It's the first time for an eighteen girl to get on a sedan chair. I can't help but feel a little shy."

His face wasn't red and he wasn't out of breath, but he couldn't tell.

Huo Jingtang pondered, "You weren't shy when you got married in the bridal chamber, weren't you?"

"..." Zhao Baiyu: "The inner beauty is in the heart."

***

When the figures of the two disappeared from the screen wall, Meng Tianzong broke into a smile, and the master asked why he treated them so politely, could it be that they were really extraordinary?

"The little nun they only met during the day can get a letter from General Cui who is far away in Fuzhou at night? I think the tall one is General Cui himself! There are also people around him who are so familiar with Da Jinglu Familiar with the process of court judgment and interrogation, quick thinking, eloquent and eloquent, especially fighting against injustice and pleading for the people, and this unexpected and unique method reminds me of an adult."

The master asked: "Which one?"

"Little Qingtian who is famous for his great scenery," Meng Tianzong frowned, but with a sense of crisis in his heart: "Zhao Baiyu."
