When Jiang Chun saw that the people who saved him and Lu Qiuyue were actually monks Lian Nanchun and Pingming, he couldn't help but feel frustrated and thought to himself: This is really out of the dragon's pool and into the tiger's den! He simply raised his sword eyebrows and said: "Say it honestly, what do you really want?..."
Lian Nanchun's curved eyebrows furrowed and he said softly: "This is exactly what I have been thinking about. I still don't have an accurate idea yet! But..."
Monk Pingming said from the side: "But our eldest lady doesn't have any ill intentions!"
Lu Qiuyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Who believes your sweet talk? I ask you, do you also want to use me and Jiang Chun to blackmail my father?"
Lian Nanchun glanced at her speechlessly and sighed: "Is this necessary? Yes, your father may be very important to some people, but what is there to gain from me? On the contrary , I want to do a good deed, return the jade to Zhao in its entirety, and send you two back to the capital!"
As she spoke, her crystal eyes turned, Ruo glanced at them carelessly, and said slowly: "I wonder what you two think?"
Lu Qiuyue said with a pale face: "No! I won't go back even if I die!"
Lian Nanchun looked at her with a pair of autumn-like eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Miss Lu, you are only thinking about your own gains and losses now, haven't you ever put yourself in your parents' shoes? For the reason that you ran away from home , your father was so anxious that he was forced into desperation by the emperor; your mother frowned all day long and shed tears..."
Lu Qiuyue's face couldn't help but change color; she frowned, lowered her eyelids in pain, and said with a trembling voice: "You... stop talking!"
Lian Nanchun ignored her words and continued: "And Ling Yun, because of your running away, your father wanted to punish him for his dereliction of duty, and he wanted to give him fifty canes; he also fell out with the princess because of this matter Yes! Your father is still asking him again and again, and even so, he refuses to tell you where you two are going..."
Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue were quite shocked after hearing Lian Nanchun's emotional words. Jiang Chun was moved and said: "Commander Ling attaches great importance to love and righteousness, and his righteousness is as high as the sky; he treats me and Qiuyue with the utmost kindness - Qiuyue and I will remember his kindness forever!"
Lian Nanchun glanced at him with disdain and sneered: "People say they don't thank you for their kindness, so what's the use of just remembering it? Take some practical actions!"
Jiang Chun was robbed by Lian Nanchun, and his face was embarrassed. He lowered his head in shame and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Lu Qiuyue's gleaming eyes turned and suddenly said: "What is your relationship with Ling Yun? Why do you speak to him like this?"
Lian Nanchun's melancholy eyes suddenly became far away. Her eyes flickered, revealing a trace of ambiguous emotions. She said quietly: "I won't bother you with this! Now I advise you two, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, It’s better to go back obediently.”
Lu Qiuyue's eyes suddenly darkened, and her deep eyes flashed with incomparable persistence and determination, and she said decisively: "No! If you must force us to go back, unless you want me to die, otherwise -"
She suddenly stopped talking, silently walked to Jiang Chun, held his hand tightly, and her soft eyes were like a clear spring water, rippling softly across his heart. She lightly opened her red lips and chanted affectionately:
"Shangxie! I want to know you forever. There are no mountains and mausoleums, and rivers are exhausted. Winter thunders shake, summer rains and snows, and the heaven and earth are harmonious. I dare to be with you!"
Jiang Chun's eye circles turned red unconsciously, and his eyes were full of tears, with a thin layer of mist in his eyes. He stared at the person in front of him for a long time, and tremblingly called out: "Qiuyue!..." His throat couldn't help but choke. , sobbing and speechless.
Lian Nanchun was also moved by the scene in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
From Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue's unwavering true love, she couldn't help but think of herself, Ling Yun, and the fateful love between her and Ling Yun.
Ling Yun, she hasn't seen him for a long time; she really wants to see him after being apart for many days.
She suddenly envied the pair of lovers in distress in front of her. Although their love is not recognized and blessed by the world, they are able to love vigorously and without hesitation regardless of the fetters of the world; but what about myself and Ling Yun? But I want to love but can't, so I can only remain friends...
Junma Mansion, Huanyun Pavilion.
Ling Yun is really bored these days. It seemed like everyone was forcing him to do things he didn't want to do.
Lu Wen is forcing him, forcing him to find Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue no matter what; Mrs. Ruan is also forcing him, forcing him to go to Jinling Palace to invite the princess back no matter what; even the best friend he considers is , Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others were also earnestly admonishing him, advising him to take the overall situation into consideration and stop acting out of emotion!
He suddenly felt lonely and helpless; in the huge Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice, with so many brothers and friends around him, no one could truly understand his painstaking efforts.
He was bored and thoughtless, wandering silently in the flower hall, and unknowingly he had reached a mural.
The mural shows several singing cicadas flying in the wind and dew. The outlines are simple but lifelike. Next to it is a small poem, which is about the last four sentences of King Luo Bin of the Tang Dynasty's "Singing Cicadas in Prison":
It’s hard to fly in if the dew is heavy,
The wind is loud and easy to sink.
No one believes in Gao Jie,
Who cares about appearance and heart?
Ling Yun silently recited these four lines of poetry, feeling indescribable melancholy and sadness in his heart. He was immersed in it for a while, until someone slowly approached him without realizing it.
"Master Junma," the man said timidly.
Ling Yun calmed down and glanced at the person next to him, "Oh, Jiao Xing, what's the matter?"
Jiao Xing said softly: "Someone just sent me a bag of tips. I must hand it over to you personally."
Ling Yun was startled for a moment, then took the kit and hurriedly opened it, only to see a calligraphy letter inside, with the following numbers on it:
"At noon today, I'm waiting for you at the small Jingting Pavilion outside the city. See you there. I'm not famous. That's the day."
The handwriting is elegant and straight, and it couldn't be more familiar. When Ling Yun saw it, he couldn't help but frown, unable to hide the joy on his face.
When Jiao Xing saw Ling Yun these days, her face was as dark as water, her brows were furrowed, and she seemed to have something very serious on her mind. Sometimes when she had the courage to ask, Ling Yun would just say "nothing" absentmindedly; this made her even more confused. She has a lot of low self-esteem and feels that she is just a humble and despicable girl. She can't care about her master's concerns.
Now I saw that Ling Yun's long-lost face suddenly regained its old look. Although I was a little puzzled, I didn't ask any more questions and just said: "Master Ma, my servant congratulates you."
Ling Yun's dark eyes were filled with stars, and he smiled slightly and said, "What are you congratulating me for?"
Jiao Xing's eyebrows softened and she said: "If the Lord Commander doesn't tell me, of course I won't know. It's just that when I see the Lord Commander so happy, I must be happy.
Ling Yun said: "Then why don't you ask me about my happy event?
Jiao Xing said softly: "If Lord Commander wanted to tell me, I would have told you; otherwise, I would not be able to interfere with Lord Commander's affairs. In fact, no matter what happens, as long as it makes Lord Commander happy, I will do it." Happy."
Ling Yun was moved and said: "Jiao Xing, thank you."
Jiao Xing pondered for a moment, as if she had made a lot of determination, bit her lip, and said solemnly: "Master Junma, what I said is true and sincere. As long as you can be happy, as long as you can Okay, even if this slave dies, she will be... willing to do so."
Ling Yun glanced at her disapprovingly and said, "What's the matter with life and death? Jiao Xing, don't say such unlucky words again!"
Jiao Xing looked at his somewhat careless expression and couldn't help but feel disappointed. She lowered her eyelids silently and whispered: "Yes..."
All the birds are flying high,
Gu Yun is alone.
I never tire of looking at each other,
There is only Jingting Mountain.
Lian Nanchun was dressed in white, sitting alone on a rock. The soft wind was caressing her clothes, her lapels were dancing, her long hair was fluttering, she was extremely free and comfortable.
At this time, footsteps sounded behind him; turning around, he saw Ling Yun, dressed in white, walking towards him with a smile.
Lian Nanchun smiled, stood up and walked towards Ling Yun.
Ling Yun said: "You haven't come to see me for such a long time. Do you know how much I miss you these days?"
A faint smile appeared on Lian Nanchun's face, and he said with a bit of joking: "I don't believe it! There are so many beauties around you, one is gone, and there is another who is willing to accompany you - Commander Ling is blessed with many things, and he is lucky enough to meet you, can you still miss me?"
Ling Yun raised his eyelids and glanced at her, and said gloomily: "Okay, now you are still mocking me, let's see how I deal with you!" As he spoke, the corners of his lips curled up, and a bit of a bohemian smile appeared in his wanton eyes. He scratched her armpits with all his teeth and claws.
Lian Nanchun dodged again and again, only to laugh so hard that his flowers trembled; the two of them laughed and made a fuss.
After a long time, the two of them calmed down.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, let's get down to business!" Lian Nanchun stopped his smile and said seriously: "I came to you this time to tell you something."
Ling Yun glanced at her in confusion, "Oh? What's the matter?"
Lian Nanchun said: "It's about Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue."
Ling Yun stayed for a moment and looked at her silently.
Lian Nanchun said: "They are all in my hands." Then, she roughly selected the key points of the incident where Jiang Chun and Lu Qiuyue were attacked by Bai Yu and others at the VIP guesthouse, and she and Monk Pingming came to rescue them. Said it again.
Ling Yun frowned, "Strange, why did the people from the Tianxiao organization kidnap Jiang Chun and Miss Lu? Could it be that they wanted to use this to blackmail Mr. Lu?"
Lian Nanchun looked at him with sharp eyes and said, "Actually, you are only half right - do you know why the emperor issued the decree for the marriage of Lu Qiuyue and Ding Jiying?"
Ling Yun lowered his head and pondered, and said nothing for a long time; he slowly raised his head and turned his inquiring eyes to Lian Nanchun, "I would like to hear the details."
Lian Nanchun's eyes darkened, and he said bitterly: "It's Ding Jinzhi and that stinky Taoist priest Bai Yu who are causing trouble!"
Ling Yun's eyes as clear as lake water showed a hint of surprise and confusion, "You mean Ding Jinzhi colluded with Tian Xiao's people?..."
