Chapter 56 Willow shoots on the moon
Not long ago, in the memorandum of Liushemen mentioned that a noble man went to Jinling and asked Jiangnan to guard the garrison. Liushemen made every effort to do a good job in the security and protection of the Flower God Festival. It turned out that this noble man was Emperor Ming.
In the empty seal case, Emperor Zhu Runze of the Ming Dynasty started a massacre, and everyone in the officialdom was in danger, and the position of Minister of Revenue was vacant for more than half a year. Not long ago, the emperor issued two edicts to Xie Shiting to enter the palace and leave the vacant. As a result, Xie Shiting resigned twice, which made Emperor Ming unhappy. Unexpectedly, he went to Jiangnan himself.
There have always been many talents in Jiangnan, and the empty seal case has led to a large number of vacancies for the Ministry of Revenue. The spring trial is imminent this year. The Ministry of Rites has always been responsible for the imperial examination in the imperial examination of the court. Now the emperor has invited Lu Guanzhong, the leader of the northern literary world, which must have been recruiting talents for the court.
After Emperor Ming left, Xie Shiting also left immediately. Li Muge and I felt it was meaningless here, so we went out. Of course, the couplets of ten taels of silver were not settled.
I said congratulations to Brother Li. Today's school affairs have made a lot of reputation. The emperor actually lets you grind it personally. Contemporary literary masters lay paper for you. It will be difficult for them to not have high school in the future. Li Muge said, "I, Li, have passed the exam and served the court. I rely on real talent and knowledge. How can I enter the official career based on the emperor's preferences?"
I thought to myself that this kid is really pedantic and has such a good opportunity to not seize it, but he is talented and well-educated. Even if he is based on his real skills, he will definitely stand out in the spring exam. I asked him, Brother Li just now talked about the Battle of Jiqing, and he was like a history in his eyes. I wonder who is you, Lord Li, the governor of Jiqing?
Li Muge's face turned dark, he was his father. When the city was broken, I was rescued by a hero from the rivers and lakes. I came to Jiangnan and decided to take the imperial examination. I wanted to be an official, one to benefit the people of the world, and one day to rehabilitate my father.
I wondered, rehabilitation?
Li Muge said regretfully, in the Battle of Jiqing, my father sacrificed his life for the country, but was said by the Liaodong Governor Song Chengliang to surrender without fighting, and robbed all the credits for killing the enemy. I asked again, why didn't you say that just now?
Li Muge sighed, now I am a little bit light, Song Chengliang is an important minister of the court. Even if I say it, who will believe it? Instead of crying everywhere, it is better to pass the imperial examination in one day. If you have enough ability in the future, it will not be too late for me to take revenge. Brother Su, you and I will fall into the same state as before, and I will tell you this to you. Please keep it confidential. I said that it is natural.
After selling flowers, Li Muge said goodbye to me, left the Jiangnan Academy, and left with a load.
Not long after, Zhang Youqian ran back happily. I saw his face full of mud and said in surprise, "What's wrong? I was beaten up?" Zhang Youqian said in a snorted manner. I saw that guy was big and thick, but I didn't expect that he was a mess on the road. The ruffian was entangled with dozens of scoundrels. I fought against the heroes alone and beat them all over the ground for teeth."
I said I didn’t know how good your martial arts are. Can you die if you don’t brag? To be honest, I’m going to be honest.
Zhang Youqian said, I suffered a small loss.
I laughed and said, "Are you a small loss?"
Zhang Youqian said angrily, "It's boring for people to break up, it's boring if you break the casserole like this!"
I said the master your father matched you, why didn’t he come with me? Zhang Youqian said that I don’t think he is in the way. My father sent him to monitor me, but I can’t even hide. Su You are here. I must avenge this revenge. Will you help me?
I said of course I need to help, but today I didn’t do it, so I made an appointment with someone.
woman?
I said impatiently, Captain Zhang, am I very familiar with you? When Zhang Youqian heard this, he suddenly felt energetic. I thought that although we didn't say anything, it was at least a commonplace.
I was immediately furious.
Zhang Youqian laughed and said, "That must be a woman!" How about it, I have more experience in dealing with women than you. Do you want to teach you some? I said suddenly that your experience is limited to being useful to women in brothels and brothels. It is a routine. I don't want you to destroy my good things."
Zhang Youqian said, since ancient times, true love cannot be kept, but only routines can win people's hearts.
I waved my hand and said, "You should do what you should do, goodbye!" Zhang Youqian looked unhappy, forgot his righteousness when he saw profit, forgot his friends when he saw sex, and forgot his stranger guys! Come on, let me tell you...
I saw it was getting late and thought I could not be late. I finally drove Zhang Youqian away and walked towards Confucius Temple Street.
According to convention, every household puts lanterns on the Qinhuai River on the night of the Flower God Festival, so there are still crowds of people on Confucius Temple Street. When I arrived at the appointment, there were crowds of pedestrians on the roadside. I waited for a long time, but I didn’t see Xu Ruonan.
Could it be that she forgot the appointment today?
She must have something to do and can't get out of her. I felt a little nervous. Until the lights were on, I still didn't wait for her. I came to the bank of the Qinhuai River. I watched a pair of young men and women laying lotus on the riverside and saying love words in local dialects, and I couldn't help feeling lost.
Just as I was watching the Qinhuai River, I suddenly heard someone behind me saying, "Did, who are you waiting for?"
Looking back, I saw Xu Ruonan wearing a blue shirt, standing pretty under a willow tree on the shore, looking at me with interest.
The moon rises to the willows, and people make an appointment after dusk.
I almost laughed out loud and kept saying, "Waiting for you."
Xu Ruonan came to her and said sorry that she had made you wait for a long time. She had encountered some trouble just now.
I heard this and said, "Whoever wants to cause trouble for you in the Jinling realm is that I can't get along with my six doors!" As soon as I finished speaking, I saw three or five young rogues walking towards me and saw Xu Ruonan saying, "Miss, I'm so hard for you."
I took two steps forward, stopped Xu Ruonan, looked at the people with a bad expression, and said to the thug, "Boy, this matter has nothing to do with you, get away with me!" Xu Ruonan smiled and said, "There's trouble."
I said coldly, I wondered how many names of Gao surnames?
The thug said, "Young Master, Jiangnan, the little bully, You Yong, if you are tactful, you may save your life." I laughed and said, "There is something, I want to ask you for advice." The thug says, what's the matter?"
I asked, "You can swim?" Before the rascals could answer, I rushed forward and punched him in the chest. Before the kid could react, I threw him down in the Qinhuai River. The rascals shouted, come and save me!
I laughed, took Xu Ruonan's hand, and ran all the way. It was so easy to hold hands, and I couldn't help but give Zhang Youqian thirty-two praises. I ran three or four miles in one breath and came to a Sansheng Bridge, and we stopped.
Xu Ruonan's face turned red, he was stupid, why didn't he let go?
This "idiot" made me feel overjoyed. Of course, if Zhang Youqian called me that, I would definitely beat him up.
I said a little embarrassedly, I forgot it. But don’t worry, with me here, those little thugs can’t do anything to you.
Xu Ruonan nodded, but said nothing. There were not many people here. We stood side by side, looking at the flowing water in the Qinhuai River. Not far away, there were music from the music of silk and bamboo, which added a hint of vitality to the night. If time stopped and continued like this, there would be no regrets in this life, I thought to myself.
When I saw her silent, she seemed to be worried, I asked, what's wrong?
Xu Ruonan sighed and said, "To be honest, I met a powerful enemy in the past two days. I didn't want to come tonight, but I was afraid that you would wait for a long time, so I came out." I felt a desire to protect myself and said seriously, Miss Xu, don't worry, as long as I, Su You, are still alive, even if the Heavenly King comes, I will help you block it."
Xu Ruonan was still about to speak, and I felt impulsive in my heart, and couldn't help but hug her and kiss her on the forehead. Xu Ruonan's face was flushed, and he quickly broke away, and he slapped it with a casual slap in the face, his chest was undulating, and his anger gradually arose.
I covered my hot cheeks and greeted Zhang Youqian’s eight generations of ancestors in my heart. Is it progressing too fast?
I said embarrassedly, Miss Xu, I didn't mean it.
Xu Ruonan said, do you really like me?
I nodded, I like you. Since the moment I met you in the pavilion, I have liked you in my heart. In the past few days, I have been unable to sleep or eat, and my mind is full of your shadow. Maybe you think I am a little rude, but I am sincere.
Xu Ruonan asked again, I am not good-looking and have a bad temper, and you don’t regret it either?
I said you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, even the Shuangbi of Jinling, which is a thousand miles worse than you. I feel that God is attached to me when I meet you.
Xu Ruonan said, you swear?
I raised my hand and said, "I swear, Su You only like Xu Ruonan in this life, and I am willing to protect and love this woman for the rest of my life, and never stop until death! If I violate my oath, I will choke to death when I eat, fall to death when I walk, choke to death when I drink water, and suffocate to death by urine!
Xu Ruonan chuckled, OK, I'm talking nonsense.
I wanted to hug her again, but she cleverly avoided it.
Xu Ruonan said righteously, I like you too. Remember, you are the first man I have ever met in this life, and will be my only man. If you fall in love with other women, I will kill you even at the end of the world.
I thought to myself, would you like to be so terrifying? She regretted seeing me not talking? I hugged her shoulders and looked at her and said, "With a partner like you, I, Su You, have no regrets in this life."
Xu Ruonan said, there is something I want to tell you, actually I came to Jinling not to visit relatives, my true identity is...
Before she could speak, someone said not far away that the witch was here!
Looking in the voice, I saw seven or eight people from the martial arts world holding weapons and approaching here with great momentum. There were also some tourists on the Sansheng Bridge who saw the fierce look of the visitors, fled to the shore and stopped to watch.
Judging from the clothes, this person is from the Jiangliu Gang. He was bearded and looked fierce, and his whole body was filled with evil spirits. He was probably a master of fourth- and fifth-grade martial arts.
The Jiangliu Gang is a gang in Jinling City, which controls shipping in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River and is quite powerful in the local area. The leader of the Jiangliu Gang, Chen Jiangliu, is a master of Zhixuan Realm and is also quite famous in the world. I thought to myself, how could Xu Ruonan get involved with these people?
I said to that person: Witch, you blinded our young gang leader yesterday. My Jiangliu Gang wants to take your life today and avenge the young gang leader.
Xu Ruonan said coldly as if he had changed his personal opinion, he had seen things he shouldn't have seen. These Japanese girls were in a good mood and had not taken his life. They were already very kind. You don't know how to live or die, and you are still thinking about revenge?
I came forward and said, "The captain Su is still there at the six gates of Jinling. I wonder what kind of holiday will the Gui Gang have with Miss Xu?"
The man said, Six Gates? As an official in the court, you are with this witch. Can you protect her? Boy, our gang leader is close friends with you, Lord Zhuge. Don’t you meddle in other people’s business!
What if I have to worry about it?
The man said angrily, looking for death. After saying that, he waved his hand, and several subordinates pulled out their weapons and slashed at me without saying a word. After coming out of Taoshan, I was unable to gather my skills. I wanted to use the identity of the Six Gates to settle it at this time, but unexpectedly, those people were disagreeing and drew their swords to face each other.
I turn around to Xu Ruonan, you run away first. I'll stop them.
Before he finished speaking, he saw those people rushing halfway, as if they had been imposed on a fixed body, and then fell to the ground with a bang, not knowing how to live or die. Seeing this, the rest of the people kept saying that this witch was evil and cursing. Seeing this, the man pulled out his sword and jumped towards me.
Before a sword was handed out, a cold light flashed out from Xu Ruonan's sleeve. The man fell into the river like a broken kite in the air and never floated up again.
Everyone said with a loud bang, killing someone!
In a few breaths, the Sansheng Bridge was empty.
I stepped forward and looked at the three people, but they saw that they were all dark and they were poisoned. Unexpectedly, Xu Ruonan killed the fourth-grade master with one move. After getting along for the past few days, he never saw any true energy fluctuations on her body.
I looked at Xu Ruonan, why did you kill them?
Xu Ruonan's face darkened, why, Captain Su, are you going to arrest me and go to prison?
I was unhappy. Even if I had grudges, I could not kill people indiscriminately.
Chapter completed!
