Chapter 22: The first light of the lantern

When the jade beads took the gauze off Yue Luo's feet, Yue Luo's feet were as smooth as before.

"The golden sore medicine sent by His Highness Chen is indeed different, and it also has the effect of regenerating and removing the rot." Yuzhu glanced at Yue Luo and smiled meaningfully.

Yue Luo rolled her eyes, ignored her and looked at the book in her hand.

Yuzhu glanced at it, and it was indeed "The Art of War" again. She shivered and retreated.

These days, people in Yanjing City are talking about the same thing after dinner. After all, what is the case in Yanjing City that is more applauding than Xu Qian, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who is the crime of embezzlement in the world?

"When the emperor heard that the emperor knew the whole story, Long Yan was furious. He scolded the prince in front of all civil and military officials, and not only stripped him of the right to supervise the country, but also did not think that the prince was tolerant of the crown prince."

Yue Luo listened to Yuyan's words casually, and her thoughts had already flown out of the sky. She looked at herself in the mirror, her eyebrows were as far as the mountains and her eyes were as autumn water, and she was indeed a beauty like jade.

"Even if the prince is stupid, he knows that I was playing tricks on him." Yue Luo retracted his thoughts. After all, now is the most nervous time. Although the prince has given him one Xu Qian, there are still thousands of Xu Qians for him to choose from.

"The position of Minister of Revenue is missing, and all forces are staring at this position with covetous eyes. If the prince's men are allowed to take the lead, then everything we do is completely meaningless."

Yuyan nodded in understanding. Yue Luo wanted to say something else, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside the door. Yuzhu immediately became alert. After all, not everyone can enter the backyard of Luo Yue Tower.

"It's broad daylight, why are you closing the door so hard?" A frivolous male voice sounded outside the door.

"It seems that Mr. Shang has been in Yanjing City for enough. Have you come to resign from me?"

"Look at what you said, it hurts my heart."

The door was pushed open by Shang Qi. He wrapped his hands around his chest and half against the door frame. His romantic and passionate peach blossom eyes were half-closed, as if he was still awake. He shook the letter in his hand and said, "Why did His Highness Chen's love letter be handed to me?"

In fact, the people from Prince Chen's mansion originally wanted to hand it over to Yueluo directly, but were shamelessly stopped by Shang Qi. Of course, Shang Qi naturally would not report to Yueluo.

"Is this the way Mr. Shang is to be a guest?" Yue Luo said sarcastically and mockingly.

"I didn't take it apart," Shang Qi became anxious when he heard this. He jumped to Yue Luo in two steps and raised the letter paper. "Look carefully, the sealing area is complete."

"Then how do you know that this is the love letter from King Chen?"

"Think about what day is today?" Shang Qi looked like I had seen through everything. "Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. Your Highness Chen's letter will not be delivered early or late, why did you give it today? The reason for this is that I can think of even my toes."

Yue Luo shook her head and didn't intend to explain. She opened the letter, and Shang Qi also came over and recited it word by word.

"I heard the phoenix sing and disappeared, and I took my beauties to travel with you."

Today, the clouds cross the magpie bridge should not be as long as the veins.

Today is the annual Qiqiao Festival, and it is also the day when Duan Lang, the new commander of the Imperial Guards of the Palace City, takes office.

After checking the transfer order issued by the Ministry of War and Zuo Xiang himself, Chang Feng, commander of the Jingzhou Patrol Battalion, diligently held a banquet in his government office to entertain the person. Unexpectedly, Duan Gongzi refused righteously. However, being rejected in public without mercy, did not make the commander angry because he knew that Duan Gongzi had a great background.

As the saying goes, "Don't look at monks and Buddha's faces." This new Lord Duan is the legitimate son of Duan Qingyang, the Minister of War. Most of the relatives and uncles in the family are important officials in the court and are all outstanding students of the left prime minister Suo Zhe who is now in power. With such a prominent background, anyone should be courteous.

Not only that, this unique gentry prince is definitely not a fool who is ignorant of his ignorant literature and martial arts, and is proficient in everything. He joined the army at the age of sixteen, experienced more than ten battles of all sizes, made his mark among a group of soldiers, and had many victories and had practical experience. Now, Duan, who is in his prime, is highly valued by His Majesty, and has also handed over the important task of guarding the safety of the imperial city to him. He is now the third-rank imperial guard.

So after he refused to participate in the night banquet, Lord Chang sincerely proposed to visit Panlongjiang at night. Perhaps it was difficult to refute Chang Feng's face. Duan Lang nodded and reluctantly agreed to the proposal.

The night is low and the lights are on. There are countless pleasure boats on the river surface, but each one is unique. The river bank is full of people, and lights are decorated everywhere, reflecting a pool of green waves into colorful colors, as if it is like a illusion.

Duan Lang and his party quietly boarded an exquisite pleasure boat. Listening to songs, dancing, chanting poems and essays along the way was also a beautiful thing. However, when they reached the middle of the river, they felt a little different.

Looking out of the cabin, everyone's pleasure boats were all stuck on this side of the river, as if the middle of the river was separated by an invisible barrier, blocking everyone on the side of Panlong River, which formed a strange scene with bright lights but dark night shadows on the other side.

"Send someone to ask what's going on." Duan Lang stood up from the seat, and the sword hanging from his waist hit the table in front of him, making a "kneel" sound.

The servant sent to inquire quickly came back to report that His Highness Chen and his daughter escort traveled to the river, and the idle people avoided it.

Duan Lang frowned when he heard this. As Prince Dongqi, he dared to be so arrogant at the feet of the emperor. The world is not his, but it is already so arrogant. If he wins the world for a long time, that would be great.

Looking at the colleagues and other people, they didn't even mean to resist. I think it must be that Xuan Yin's name was too loud. When he heard his name, others had no sense of resistance. However, Duan Lang was a soldier. Although he had never served under Xuan Yin's command, he had heard Xuan Yin's name too many times and had long had the spirit of not admitting defeat. Today, he saw this scene again, and this spirit immediately woke up, extending from his heels to his limbs and bones.

"So what about King Chen? Brothers, if you have the courage, please come with me for a while." Duan Lang pressed the sword on his waist and said loudly.

Chang Feng shook his head in embarrassment and advised, "Mr. Duan, I think it's better to forget it. King Chen is not an easy master to mess with."

"What does it mean to forget it!" Looking at Chang Feng's silent look, Duan Lang's unyielding spirit became stronger. "A real man does something and does not do anything. What a hero who shrinks like this is a timid hero!"

After saying that, regardless of the dissuasion of everyone, he jumped onto a small boat and bowed to his colleagues on the pleasure boat, "Today I will go and meet this invincible Prince Chen for a while, and see if he deserves the name of the God of War!"

Everyone wanted to stop him again, but the boat driven by Duan Lang had already gone far away. But if Master Duan had any problems, it would be their future, and even whether their lives could be saved. So everyone rushed to chase Duan Lang's boat in a hurry.

The moonlight became clearer and brighter, and the river surface was like a mirror, without the sound of silk and bamboo, the dazzling lights were brighter, and the senses of people became more sharp. They only felt that the sky was shining and the moon was shining, and the blue waves were shining. It was really the Yao Pond on Earth and the Immortal World.

A low-key, simple and elegant pleasure boat is alone on the river, occupying all the beautiful scenery. It is the only one that can travel freely on the huge river surface.

"How?" Xuan Yin leaned his head and sat comfortably on the side of the boat, closing his eyes to enjoy the rare tranquility. The breeze stirred up his hair and the collar was filled with the unicorn pattern embroidered with gold thread. With the gust of river breeze, it seemed to be swimming on him.

"The moon is beautiful." Yue Luo looked up at the full moon in the sky and responded. She stood in the wind in the moonlight, and she was flying in plain clothes as if she was about to run to the moon. "I don't know if the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl met at this time."

Xuan Yin looked at her beautiful side face and suddenly felt that it would be great if time would stay forever at this moment.

There is no intrigue, no intrigue, no intrigue, no competition for the Central Plains, and rule the world, nothing, in the vast world, only him and her.

He was shocked by his thoughts, and Xuan Yin shifted his sight from her without a trace. His goal has always been clear, first Dongqi and then the world.

As for the love between children? He has long been no longer qualified to ask for extravagance.

At this time, Yue Luo was thorned in her heart, and she couldn't feel happy if she didn't vomit.

It was a doubt that had been stuck in her heart early in the morning. When Qi Yun came to find her, she had already started to doubt it. This doubt reached its peak when Xuan Yin took her to visit Yunyin Temple at night. She even suspected that the Feng Feng was scared crazy by the Xuan Yin Sect, otherwise how could he have appeared in the Lotus Pond so coincidental that night.

Seeing that she wanted to speak but stopped, Xuan Yin said, "If you have anything to say, you might as well say it."

The language was organized early in the morning. Since he asked, she didn't hesitate and said directly: "Is Qi Yunlai the prince's person?"
