The moon and stars are sparse, the trees in the back mountain are covered with a layer of silver, and the chirping of insects comes and goes, making it seem quiet.
Under the moonlight, in Long Chen's eyes, the back mountain was no different from the daytime.
"On the contrary, I like the night more."
Long Chen sighed.
Master Ziyun pointed to a mountain lake in the distance and said, "There are fish there, do you want to catch two?"
Long Chen smiled and said: "Are you sure you want to catch fish?"
Miaoyin smiled and said, "Then what do you want to catch?"
Long Chen hugged Master Ziyun and said with a smile: "I want to catch a mermaid."
Master Ziyun took off her thin shirt, flew toward the lake, and said with a smile, "Come on, the mermaid is here."
Long Chen flew after him, but Master Ziyun had already plunged into the lake.
Long Chen followed him into the water.
The lake water was cool and the heat of the summer air was instantly eliminated, making Long Chen feel very comfortable.
Does your body prefer cold now?
Long Chen had practiced Yin Wind Palm and was not afraid of the cold, but now he felt even more comfortable with the cold.
Opening his eyes, Long Chen saw Master Ziyun swinging in the water through the moonlight, her black hair seemed to be floating in the air, and her clothes were slowly sinking in the water.
Long Chen felt happy and spun around in the water, and soon arrived in front of Master Ziyun.
Seeing Long Chen coming over, Master Ziyun smiled slightly, turned around and swam to the bottom of the lake.
The two were playing and chasing each other in the water. Miaoyin stood by the lake and could vaguely see the figures in the water.
"The two of them had a lot of fun."
Long Yuan walked to the lake and glanced into the water.
Miaoyin asked with a smile: "Auntie, do you want to go down and catch fish too?"
Long Yuan asked back: "Let your great-nephew catch my great-aunt? Do you think it's appropriate?"
Well.
The owner of Miaoyin smiled awkwardly and said: "It seems... not appropriate."
Long Yuan glanced at the figures in the lake and wandered around the back hill.
The owner of Miaoyin put her thin shirt aside, put on a dress, and slowly submerged into the lake.
After entering the water, Miaoyin saw that Long Chen had caught Master Ziyun and was being held in his arms.
The owner of Miaoyin chuckled, and his body moved up to Long Chen like a swimming fish. back.
Seeing Miaoyin coming, Long Chen let go of Ziyun and turned around to catch Miaoyin.
Miaoyin wanted to run away, but Ziyun acted mischievously and grabbed Miaoyin's ankle with one hand. Long Chen took advantage of the situation and hugged Miaoyin.
The lake surface stirred up ripples, and in the moonlight, it looked like a lake of broken silver.
Long Chen came out of the lake, holding a big herring in his hand, while Ziyun and Miaoyin were combing their hair by the campfire.
Clean the internal organs with a dagger, thread the sticks, place them on the rack, and grill slowly.
“I used to like the grilled fish here the most, but now everything I eat feels bland.”
Master Ziyun put her hair behind her back and looked at the golden grilled fish with some emotion.
Miaoyin nodded and said, "I also feel that everything I eat now has no taste."
Long Chen said: "There is nothing we can do about it. Only after the ghost clan is destroyed and the body recovers, can the sense of taste return to normal."
Long Yuan walked out of the darkness, sat next to him, and cut a piece of fish meat with a dagger.
"Just eat it as a snack, chew it for a while, it will still taste good."
Long Yuan ate slowly, very slowly.
Long Chen tried to eat a piece. It did have some flavor, but it was very bland.
Miaoyin suddenly laughed and said: "Actually, this is quite good. You can play in the water."
Ziyun chuckled and said, "Yes, ordinary people can't hold their breath in the water for half an hour."
Long Yuan looked at Ziyun and Miaoyin's dissolute appearance and asked: "Does the woman who is with you become dissolute?"
Long Chen looked at Long Yuan speechlessly and asked, "Have you become a prodigal?"
Long Yuan said angrily: "I am your aunt!"
Long Chen ate the fish slowly and was too lazy to talk nonsense with Long Yuan.
That night, Long Chen stayed at Zixiao Palace.
Long Yuan also spent the night in Zixiao Palace.
.
the next day.
Long Chen and Long Yuan rode back to Prince Wu's Mansion, and He Juntao came over to lead the horse.
"Sir, Miss Liu went back to Liuyezhuang and left a letter."
Long Chen dismounted, Long Yuan returned to the room, and He Juntao took out a letter.
Long Chen took the letter and read it while walking.
Liu Hanyan said that she had returned to Liuyezhuang, and she planned to revive the sect. She also said some words of thanks to Long Chen for teaching him the skills.
There were too many women in Prince Wu's palace, and Liu Hanyan was jealous.
After entering the study room, Long Chen drafted a letter of recommendation in duplicate.
"Send it to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, and hand it over directly to Wang Wei and Baili Bing. Just say it's my wish."
He Juntao received the recommendation letter and immediately sent it to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel.
Long Chen agreed to make Xiong Xiazi a general, and this matter needed to be approved by the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel at the same time.
Blind Xiong had been a thief, so asking him to suppress the bandits was a way of showing off his professional skills.
Zhang Qian and other generals along with Di Luoxi and Di Lingyi went to Nanda Camp to train troops, and the backyard was a little quiet.
Last night at Zixiao Palace, Master Ziyun and Master Miaoyin spent the whole night, and Long Chen slept in the study all day.
At night, Long Chen went out alone.
After walking through the quiet street, Long Chen entered a house.
When the maid heard the noise, she immediately came out with a knife. They thought there was a burglar.
"it's me."
Seeing Long Chen, the maid immediately sheathed her sword and bowed: "I pay my respects to the regent."
The news of Long Chen's appointment as regent spread throughout the capital, so these people naturally knew about it.
Shi Jingxiang came out wearing a light sweatshirt, with her black hair tied behind her head.
"I'll be relieved if you come back, obediently."
Shi Jingxiang happily greeted him, took Long Chen's hand into the room and sat down.
Mosquito repellent incense was burning in the incense burner, and several candles stood on candlesticks.
"Thanks to you this time. Without you, I wouldn't be able to come back."
Long Chen hugged Shi Jingxiang and felt that God was helping him.
Shi Jingxiang asked strangely: "Why is it me?"
Long Chen said: "Do you still remember that stone hairpin?"
Shi Jingxiang got up from Long Chen's arms , asked very seriously: "Well, remember, where is my bellyband?"
Well.
This was embarrassing. Shi Jingxiang's bellyband was worn by Bai Xue.
This matter must not be mentioned, otherwise Long Chen will be a complete scumbag.
"That stone hairpin came from Lihuo Island in Nanliang. It saved my life at a critical moment."
Long Chen immediately began to tell Shi Jingxiang about Saint Xuefeng.
Of course, Bai Xue, Master Ziyun, and Master Miaoyin ignored them.
After listening to what Long Chen said, Shi Jingxiang said in shock: "It's actually like this. So, you really owe me a life."
Long Chen hugged Shi Jingxiang and said: "So, there is God's will in the dark."
Shi Jingxiang nodded, and then asked: "Where is the bellyband I gave you?"
Well.
Why did it come back after going round and round?
"I was in a hurry when I left and ended up at the Holy Snow Peak."
Long Chen chuckled, his face not red and his heart not beating when he lied.
Shi Jingxiang asked suspiciously: "You wouldn't give my bellyband to another woman, would you?"
Long Chen immediately denied it and said: "How is it possible? Saint Xuefeng is half human and half ghost. How can I give your things to others?"
"Should I give your bellyband to those old witches who are one or two hundred years old?"
Shi Jingxiang thought about it, those people were neither human nor ghosts, Long Chen would never have such a strong taste.
"After all, I am also a descendant of the 18th general. If the nobles settle accounts, I will also have a share."
Even if Shi Jingxiang hates Shi Le and Xixia, the blood flowing in her body cannot be changed.
If the ghost takes revenge, Shi Jingxiang will not be able to escape.
Long Chen said: "Yes, I came here just to give you the secret of longevity and the Long family's skills. Only by improving your cultivation can you protect yourself."
Shi Jingxiang held Long Chen's neck and asked with a smile: "Are you here just to teach the skills?"
Long Chen smiled and said, "What do you think?"
Shi Jingxiang lay down, put her legs on Long Chen's shoulders, and said with a smile: "What are you waiting for?"
