Riling Up The Jianghu

It was dawn, blue and cloudless, as if washed by water, and the wolf cub rolled comfortably on the gravel.

Rong Luoyun stood at the door of Wumingju, standing there all the time, with a light-colored shirt and black hair, coupled with a pair of benevolent eyebrows, like a peaceful and sad little Buddha.

He looked at the open space in front of him, there were dense bamboos beside it, and a long street in the depths, but he couldn't see a trace.What happened, he thought, Huo Linfeng came and said goodbye to him in a hurry?

It shouldn't be, the weather is so good, it shouldn't be.

Rong Luoyun blinked his eyes, could it be that he is still awake and everything is still in a dream?When it opened again, a blue figure appeared in front of it, and Lu Zhun was trotting towards it.

"Second brother!" Lu Zhun saw him and waved his hand, "Second brother, have you heard?"

Rong Luoyun's heart skipped a beat and he shook his head wildly. He hadn't heard of it, and he didn't know anything.Later, he will take the wolf cubs to the military camp, and he doesn't want to know anything about it.

Lu Zhun had already come running to him, dressed neatly, with a pair of scimitars pinned to his waist, apparently coming back from a trip.He said, "Second brother, I went for a walk outside the city early in the morning, there were a lot of soldiers."

"When I entered the city, the people were blocking the streets to see Huo Linfeng off!" Seeing that Rong Luoyun remained silent, he raised his voice, "I heard that an oracle was delivered yesterday that Huo Linfeng is going back to Saibei to fight!"

Rong Luoyun nodded in a daze, unable to deceive himself or others, how could the sky not fulfill his wish.He finally moved, turned around and entered the door, stepping on the gravel and turning back down the corridor.

Lu Zhun sensed something was wrong, followed, sized up, and circled around Rong Luoyun.He caught a glimpse of Rong Luoyun's hand, which seemed to be holding a small object, and asked, "Second Brother, what good thing are you holding?"

Hearing this, Rong Luoyun raised his palm, and the eagle bone flute lay quietly, his whole body glistening with sweat.Obviously I taught him to play the tune that night, long and short, so many requests.

"I'll teach you how to play it. When I never come back, you can call me by blowing it."

Thinking about it now, he suddenly taught him to play the flute, and the words he confided were vague. Could it be that Huo Linfeng had expected it at that time?

Rong Luoyun staggered a step, walked towards the house, and put the eagle bone flute into his arms. "Third brother, help me prepare the horse." He pulled out a gauze ribbon and tied a ponytail casually, "I want to go out."

Lu Zhun asked curiously, "Second brother, where are you going?"

Rong Luoyun said, "Hanzhou City."

Mentioning Hanzhou inevitably recalled the past, and killing Chen Mian and Chen Xiao was really dangerous.Lu Zhun was a little worried, and walked back and forth at every step, and couldn't help but said: "I don't have Eucommia to accompany me anymore, second brother, be careful in everything."

One sentence ignited the fire, Rong Luoyun scolded: "Huo Zhong has already left me, what are you talking about Eucommia!"

The tone of voice was extremely high, the veins were slightly protruding, and there was a hint of madness in his expression.Lu Zhun was horrified, fearing that Rong Luoyun's madness would break out, he shut his mouth tightly and prepared to go.

There was no one else in the house, and the wolf cub smuggled out of the window to the couch.Rong Luoyun looked at the little beast, feeling sore in his heart, he hadn't had time to tell him the name he had chosen.

Aww, the wolf cub is sniffing the fan on the couch, he doesn't like the cumin.

Rong Luoyun's eyes moved lightly, the fan, kite, and lantern, this scene coincided with the old time, making people turn all kinds of tastes into a pool of bitter water, which could not be spit out, but could only be swallowed.

"Second brother!" Lu Zhun called, "I brought the horse here!"

Rong Luoyun shook slightly, shaking off his sadness, and put on a calm and innocent look.

He left the palace on his horse and galloped all the way along the dense forest shortcut, the ponytail behind his head brushed against fallen leaves and flowers.

After traveling [-] miles in a row, they arrived at Hanzhou City at noon, and the sound of "wow" stopped outside the city.

Officers and soldiers were guarded on both sides of the city gate, gradually entering the city, the main street was bustling and noisy, and the scene of devastation during the disaster was completely turned upside down.Rong Luoyun was inadvertently greedy, got off his horse and took the reins, and went straight to Zhizhou's mansion.

Climbing up the steps, he respectfully said: "Brother Guancha, my surname is Rong, came from Xiganling, I have something important to see Mr. Shen."

After finishing speaking and waiting for the notification, Rong Luoyun was a little thirsty, so he went down the steps to get the water bag hanging from the horse's back.Stretching his neck to pour water, he originally lowered his eyes, but Tong Rener suddenly turned to the right.

At this time, the housekeeper came out: "Young Master, please come in quickly."

Rong Luoyun collected his peripheral vision, and followed the other party into the gate of Zhizhou's mansion as if nothing had happened.It is difficult to imitate the grandeur of the General's Mansion in the mansion, but it is very quiet, and the pavilions and terraces are also extremely elegant.

Entering a courtyard, there is a tea pavilion hidden in the pine forest. In addition to the fragrance of tea, there is also the fragrance of food.Shen Zhou stood outside the pavilion, dressed in official uniform, probably just returned to the residence not long ago.

As soon as he saw it, Rong Luoyun was the first to speak out: "Master Shen, come here recklessly, excuse me."

Shen Zhou smiled and said: "What's the matter, my place is very deserted, I wish someone could come and sit down." He made a "please" gesture, "I think the young master has not eaten yet, so how about a meal?"

It's better to obey Rong Luoyun's orders than to be respectful. He entered the tea booth and took a seat. The maid handed over the hot towel and then left. There were only the two of them in the booth.He lowered his head to wipe his hands, raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the smile on Shen Zhou's face was much more reserved.

"Master Shen, do you have something on your mind?" He asked.

Shen Zhou said: "Why do I have something on my mind, the young master came here, it should be because you have something on your mind and want me to answer it." The reason why his expression is slightly gloomy is because of a sense of empathy.

The words were self-explanatory, Rong Luoyun didn't know whether to be grateful or ashamed to be exposed and pushed aside.He grabbed the hot towel and said, "General Huo has returned to Saibei, does your lord know?"

Shen Zhou pondered for a moment: "I don't know, but it's expected."

Rong Luoyun asked: "Why did you say that?

After talking for a while, Shen Zhou pointed at the food on the table as a threat.After Rong Luoyun took a few mouthfuls, he replied: "I don't know, it's because the post soldiers are faster than my spies. Not everyone can match the speed of eight hundred miles."

As expected, the Marquis of Dingbei originally only wanted to pay the army, but after being attacked, he demoted himself several times and asked the emperor to allow Huo Linfeng to return to Saibei to take command.

That being the case, it must have been mentioned in Saibei's reply, and Huo Linfeng should have known about it long ago.

Rong Luoyun stared at the rice in the bowl and grinned, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.It's really a gaffe to smile bitterly like this, but he can't help it, he likes it, hates it, he can't do anything about it, any of them makes people lose control.

"Master Shen," he sifted out a bit of reason, "what do you think about this matter?"

Shen Zhou said: "The military pay is delayed, the loss of soldiers has already been caused, and Lord Hou was indeed injured, that's why the emperor dared to let the tiger go back to the mountain." He used the word "dare", "Huomen is powerful, strong in commanding thousands of troops, Now that there are casualties and the war is not over, even if we win the battle, it will hurt our spirits."

With insufficient troops, the emperor's fear will also be alleviated.

In that case, Rong Luoyun asked: "Will Huo Linfeng come back after winning the battle to recuperate?"

Shen Zhou thought for a while, then shook his head: "No." He had no intention of comforting him, but only said his true thoughts, "Even if you are transferred from Saibei, you must stay in Chang'an."

Rong Luoyun asked anxiously: "Why?"

Shen Zhou replied: "The Marquis of Dingbei is powerful and needs the prime minister to check and balance. Once the troops are lost, he will become the Marquis of Dingbei to check and balance the prime minister."

He lowered his voice, like an elder brother talking secretly to his younger brother: "The emperor is old and sick, so we must make plans for the prince. The prime minister is the prince's right arm, and only the left arm is not enough. Sooner or later, the Huo family will be the right arm. "

For a long time, what the emperor pursued was a kind of balance, not which side he really trusted.

Rong Luoyun was a little dazed, unknowingly lost his sense of proportion: "Brother Shen, so Huo Linfeng won't come back?"

The word "Brother Shen" made Shen Zhou tongue-tied. He used to think those eyes were familiar, but now staring at them, his incomprehensible thoughts suddenly became chaotic.

After a long time, he forced himself to regain his senses: "It's too early to talk about these things. No matter what the situation is, there is a premise."

Rong Luoyun asked: "...What?"

Shen Zhou replied: "Alive."

This time, he is going to take command to quell the chaos, swords have no eyes, and thousands of troops are fighting for their lives.No one can judge the outcome until the end of this battle.

Alive...how did you forget "alive"?

Or, is it that he is determined to be alive in his consciousness?

Rong Luoyun couldn't figure it out, he was stunned, and broke a pair of bamboo chopsticks with two fingers.Seeing this, Shen Zhou called the servant girl to get a new pair, and picked up a piece of dried incense and put it in Rong Luoyun's bowl.

"Try the sliced ​​meat," he said.

Rong Luoyun suddenly came back to his senses, he was ignorant when he was young, his sister hugged him for dinner, Shen Zhou coaxed him to eat with dried incense as meat slices.He raised his eyes and stared straight at the other party repeating his tricks, picked up the bowl, and took the dried incense.

Shen Zhou's eyes flickered, but he opened and closed his lips without making a sound.

Rong Luoyun didn't say a word, he ate the rice until there was not a single grain left.He wiped his mouth: "Thank you Lord Shen for your answer, I will take my leave." He got up and walked out of the tea booth quickly.

Shen Zhou hurriedly followed, and wanted to keep one or two, but was deterred by Rong Luoyun's glare.

"Your Excellency Shen, you don't have to see him off." Rong Luoyun approached and bowed, and said in a low voice when bowing, "There are spies watching outside the mansion, so be careful when you come and go."

Shen Zhou paused, and nodded hesitantly.

When Rong Luoyun left Zhizhou's mansion, there were few people on the street, and they all took advantage of the bright sun to take an afternoon nap at home.He led the horse and wandered around, from the east of the city to the west of the city, and from the west to the north of the city, and it happened to be dusk when he arrived in the south of the city.

As soon as he got out of the city, he got on his horse and continued to walk on the mountain road, walking slowly, as if he was afraid of bumping his little butt.

After such a passing time, it fell into the night not long after, and when the forest was dark, he jumped up a big tree.Find a comfortable posture, nest well, and suddenly generate the breath lock formula.

The wind blows the leaves, and I don't know where the north wind is blowing.

Deeper and heavier, will you stop to rest your feet?

During that moment of rest, did you miss him in your heart?

Rong Luoyun closed his eyes and meditated. After a full hour, he moved his ears imperceptibly.It was dark everywhere, trying to distinguish was distracting, so he took out a veil and tied it over his eyes.

Tie the knot, move your ears again, and fly away in one breath.

The horse screamed, and there was a fierce fight in the forest. Rong Luoyun didn't wear a sword, and he used empty-handed moves to kill him.He spun out a palm, the opponent dodged, and the nearby tree trunk was split by the palm.

After a hundred moves, the entangled figures separated and confronted each other.

Rong Luoyun caught an autumn leaf with his hands behind his back, and before he could throw it out, a small needle flew towards him.He tilted his head in panic, the needle was barely a hair's breadth away from his eyes, and he barely dodged it.

At the beginning, he pierced Chen Mian's left eye with a flying needle...

It was instantly clear that this was the spy sent by Chen Ruoyin.

Huo Linfeng mentioned earlier that Chen Ruoyin might have discovered the relationship between Bufan Palace and the third prince.From the current point of view, it is estimated that the relationship between Bufan Palace and the General's Mansion, and his relationship with Huo Linfeng should be investigated.

Rong Luoyun leaned forward to make a move, unable to vent his depression and sorrow, and the strong wind and rain seemed to go crazy.The opponent was invincible and wanted to escape, so he hurriedly caught up with him using Bafang Swim.

Can't fight, can't run, let the lunatic bully him in the dark forest.

Rong Luoyun is simply a pestering little devil, not counting his serious moves, but also tearing his clothes, slapping his hands, and finally slapping him hard.He raised his foot to step on it, the silk shoes twisted his heart, leaned over and smashed his white teeth with a punch.

The other party screamed and trembled under his feet.

"Do you want to go back to your life?" He asked anxiously.

"Bishop Bishop, please report to the Prime Minister that the General's Mansion and Bufan Palace are indeed in collusion, and the relationship is very close. As for Huo Linfeng and Rong Luoyun..."

Bowing down even lower, Rong Luoyun said word by word: "He, yes, I, prime minister, public."

The other party was frightened and suddenly opened his eyes wide.

Bang, Rong Luoyun clasped his palm on that forehead, blood splashed and his hands were hot.Just when the north wind came suddenly, he murmured: "Listen, my husband is here."

Xiao Rong: On the first day of Lin Feng's departure, he cursed, beat, and killed people, so he couldn't think about him.
