Qixing still sat sideways on the horse, shook his head, and shook off the cloak that hit his face.
Zhu Chuan, who was following him, shouted: "How dare you talk nonsense! I already said you shouldn't have brought her here! I'll definitely be fine guarding her at home!"
The home was as tightly guarded as an iron barrel. Even if the governor was not there, even if the woman escaped from the cell, she would not be able to escape from the governor.
But it's different in Xishan. After all, the world is vast, so there are inevitably some omissions.
The biggest oversight is trusting her too much!
Zhu Chuan thought about what he had just said, and the woman disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye, her heart beating like a drum and her ears buzzing.
I feel angry, hateful and aggrieved.
The governor is so busy and tired, and he has to worry about catching her.
Qixing said: "Didn't I tell you that I will show you my riding skills? If I really want to run, will I wait there?"
Zhu Chuan sneered: "That's when our governor is here. You know you can't escape even if you have wings!"
Huo Lian raised her hand to hold down the flying cloak, interrupting the argument between the two.
"Miss Qixing really didn't want to run away," he said, pointing to Qixing's hand held squarely in front of her.
The broken chains were twisted together like twists. Zhu Chuan glanced at them and his ears buzzed with anger again.
Yes, this chain can't hold her down, she's just coaxing them to play!
"Miss Qixing has no intention of running away." Huo Lian asked, "Who did you meet?"
Qixing said: "Gao Xiaoliu from Huixian Tower."
Zhu Chuan snorted, it was Gao Xiaoliu again.
"Last time you saw him, and this time he saw you, you guys really came and went and were unscrupulous." Zhu Chuan said in a long tone.
Qixing said: "We Mohists care about each other, it's human nature."
Zhu Chuan chuckled and said to Huo Lian, "She also met Miss Xiahou." Then he sneered at Qixing, "What, you and her also care about each other?"
Qixing smiled and said: "It's true, we can indeed care about each other. After all, we are all victims of men."
Zhu Chuan sighed.
Huo Lian hummed: "Miss Qixing has quite a few guests today." After saying that, she raised her hand and wrapped the cloak around Qixing. At the same time, she hugged the person in front of her, looked ahead, and raised her voice, "
Master Liu."
Mr. Liu? Zhu Chuan turned around and saw Liu Yan standing on the hillside not far away, holding a wine glass in his hand, seemingly looking at the mountain and the scenery.
Liu Yan looked at Huo Lian and nodded: "Captain Huo."
Without waiting for Huo Lian to speak, he raised the wine glass in his hand.
"Would you like to get off your horse and have a drink together?"
Huo Lian urged her horse to leap in front of Liu Yan. The tall black horse was carried by the mountain wind and fell down like a huge boulder.
Liu Yan's robes fluttered, but his body did not move at all. Even the wine glass was held steadily, as if he was not aware of the pressure.
Huo Lian reached out and took away his wine glass, then raised her head and drank it all.
"Thank you very much." He said, "I will reply to you some other time. Since I have a beautiful lady with you today, I will not entertain Mr. Liu."
After saying that, he hugged the person in front of him tightly, jumped over Liu Yan and galloped forward.
Zhu Chuan and other soldiers followed closely behind, stamping their horses' hooves, shouting and shouting, and a strong wind arose on the ground.
Liu Yan stood there and watched, but unfortunately he only saw the thin silhouette of the woman, not her appearance, nor heard her speak.
As soon as she spoke, even if she didn't call her Master Liu, it was just a meaningless voice, he would immediately stop Huo Lian, even if she was trampled by his horse's hooves.
Does she dare not say it, or does she not want to say it?
Does she really think that if she climbs up to Huo Lianzhen, she can do whatever she wants?
…
…
"Huo Lian really does whatever he wants!"
A group of people dismounted angrily in front of the palace. They had not yet taken off their bows and arrows, and their hands were empty.
"His Majesty's hunting is over. He is so unscrupulous that he drives out the mountains and forests and does not allow anyone to come near. He takes the beauty to hunt, and the two of them ride together. They are so happy as gods."
When I heard the complaint, many people looked over, but it was just for a look. It was nothing unusual. Huo Lian's behavior was already common, and I often heard being scolded like this. What's the use? It's useless. Everyone just scolds and vents their anger.
Come on.
But this time I can pick up everyone’s topic.
"Although it sounds scary, I'm afraid it would be a pleasure to pamper that young lady so much."
"It's a pity that Lu Hanlin here is still suffering from the loss of his wife."
But this time the topic was interrupted.
"Oh, whether it hurts or not, who knows."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that if your wife dies, you can be promoted."
"How can you say that!"
"This is not what I said, it was the Xiahou family who said it."
"The Xiahou family is trying to seize their son-in-law. They are so angry that they are slandering Lu Hanlin!"
"That's right, you shouldn't slander Lu Hanlin, and the Xiahou family should slander Huo Lian. If it weren't for Huo Lian, who would have known that Lu Hanlin still had a fiancée, and the Xiahou family would have succeeded in seizing his son-in-law."
The crowd here was chatting and laughing, but the group of people who were painting fell into silence.
Painting requires silence, but the silence at this moment is a bit strange, maybe because everyone's eyes are looking at one person from time to time.
Lu Yizhi didn't seem to notice or hear the comments beside him. He concentrated on adding a few strokes to the painting, then stood up straight, smiled at the person next to him and said, "You're showing off your humiliation."
The man seemed to have just come back to his senses. He took over the pen in a hurry and said hurriedly: "Mr. Lu is really a magic touch. This picture suddenly came to life."
The people around him were also busy praising him, but no matter how they heard it, they were all less sincere.
Lu Yizhi's expression remained unchanged, he talked a few words with everyone about painting, said goodbye, and walked away. As he walked away, there was another discussion behind him.
"The Xiahou family's words are so heartbreaking."
"I don't think Lu Hanlin is this kind of person."
"You can't say that. I didn't think Mr. Xiahou was that kind of person before."
Some people are questioning him, and some are defending him, which shows that there are still many people who believe in him.
But the smile in Lu Yizhi's eyes disappeared.
There shouldn't be any maintenance.
There should have been no doubt.
He raised his eyes and looked ahead. On the other side in front of the vast palace was the female family members. The women gathered together to talk.
Miss Xiahou was not as bleak as before. Although there were only two or three people around her, her expression was not friendly.
Miss Xiahou was not dignified, proud and distant, but actually bowed her head and shed tears in front of others.
Miss Xiahou's tears may make some people gloat over her misfortune, but they also make people want to say more.
"Yes, I know that lady, and I have met her more than once." Miss Xiahou said.
The women around him looked disgusted but couldn't help but be curious.
"Then you really want to steal love..." a young lady asked.
Miss Xiahou raised her head, looking aggrieved: "He didn't say he wouldn't marry her unless he was her."
There was no defense? He admitted that he had stolen someone's husband, which made them not know how to question him.
It is definitely wrong for Miss Xiahou to do this, but if a woman is too lazy, she will inevitably be confused. If Master Lu really said something that made her misunderstand...
The women had complicated expressions and wanted to continue asking, when a male voice came from not far away.
"Sister."
The women were startled when they saw Lu Yizhi coming over from nowhere and standing still a few steps away.
The young master is handsome and elegant, with a touch of sadness between his brows. The women blame themselves inexplicably and question whether this poor young master is bad...
Miss Xiahou lowered her head as if she didn't want to see him and didn't speak.
Lu Yizhi could only say again: "Senior sister, can you lend me a moment to speak?"
Miss Xiahou lowered her head, but stood up: "Okay."
…
…
"Look, Lu Yizhi and Miss Xiahou are together again."
"So shameless!"
"That's not what I meant. It seems that the two of them are going to confront each other."
"Miss Xiahou still dares to confront you?"
"Why don't you dare? Miss Xiahou said she was at fault, but she was deceived by Lu Yizhi."
"seriously?"
"Whether it's true or not, this Shangsi Festival banquet is really coming to the right time, it's so lively!"
In an instant, the female family members were swept away by the noise, and countless curious and excited eyes focused on the two people who were standing opposite each other away from the crowd.
Lu Yizhi paid no attention to these noisy gazes and only looked at Miss Xiahou in front of him.
"Senior sister, do you have to be like this?" He was a little helpless, "When Huo Lian and I settle our grudges, you will be innocent. Now that you look down on yourself like this, it will be difficult to get rid of the stigma in this life."
Miss Xiahou looked at the young master in front of her. His expression was still sincere, his words were still calm, and his ugly and threatening words sounded so reasonable.
But there was no ripple in her heart, not even resentment. She looked at Lu Yizhi as if there was a veil between her.
It turns out that there is a lot of fun in looking at people through gauze.
She turned her back to the female relatives over there, raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes, and smiled: "What are you talking about, Yi Zhi? Our family does make mistakes. If we make mistakes, we have to admit them and be punished and criticized by the world. How can we just do it for the sake of face?"
Are you disregarding propriety, justice and shame?"
How could such a smart woman become so unreasonable? Lu Yizhi mentally pressed his forehead.
…
…
"Did the fight start?" Qixing asked curiously.
The beaming Zhu Chuan pressed his brows down: "Do you think Miss Xiahou is you? She is a scholar."
But in fact, Miss Xiahou didn't behave like a scholar. After saying a few words, she suddenly threw away one of Lu Yi's sleeves, then covered her face and ran away crying, attracting countless people to watch. For a scholar, this is too embarrassing! It's like a street person.
shrew.
"You taught me this, right?" Zhu Chuan sneered, "Why don't you also meet Lu Yizhi, teach him, and let him fight with someone?"
Qixing nodded: "If the governor is willing, I can try."
Huo Lian, who was leaning under a big tree with her eyes closed and concentrating, opened her eyes: "Okay."
I was worried about causing trouble for Si Wan at home, but I didn't expect that when I came here, Mo Tu would come in again, and the young lady and the young master would start a fight. Even Liu Yan wanted to rob his horse, and insisted on making the emperor come to see the fun.
?
This woman is really what Zhu Chuan said, she shouldn't have been brought here.
He waved his hand: "Zhu Chuan, send her back."
But the fun didn't stop there.
Zhu Chuan, who left with Qixing, came back in the blink of an eye.
This time he not only looked angry and aggrieved, but also turned pale.
