The two of them hurriedly said goodbye to Taoist Wosong and left Yunyin Temple. This trip was considered a worthwhile trip.
Li Chouxin took out the map of the river formation in his arms, and recalled the otherworldly Taoist Wosong. He consciously admired this kind of life, but recalled the seven or eight confidants he had in the world, and had to laugh it off.
The two returned to the foot of Yushui City again. It was already getting late, and the refugees had just eaten porridge and were talking to each other.
Seeing Du Jin and Li Chouxin, the refugees quickly gathered together and thanked them again.
Li Chouxin and Du Jin were surrounded by refugees, unable to move, and kept responding to the grateful refugees around them.
When the two were in trouble, the governor Sima Jun came out of the city with a group of people, and there was another person beside him. Li Chou looked intently.
The visitor was none other than Zheng Yi, the eunuch beside the emperor.
Zheng Yi was walking towards Li Chouxin with an imperial edict in his hand.
"The imperial edict has arrived, Li Chouxin and Du Jin will receive it!"
Du Jin and Li Chouxin knelt down towards the visitor upon hearing the sound, and the refugees also knelt down one after another.
"By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said: Li Chou has a noble heart, loves the people like a son, and does not hesitate to take the throne in exchange for the people's food and clothing. I am very pleased, so I reject Li Aiqing's proposal, and the throne of the prince will never be abolished. In addition, the imperial court has allocated disaster relief funds to help the reconstruction of the disaster area. , the victims will be able to go home soon, please ask the governor of Yushui to prepare the departure arrangements for the victims so that they can make the trek, I appreciate this!"
Li Chouxin took the imperial edict and stood up immediately.
Eunuch Zheng walked up to Li Chouxin and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has specifically told you not to hand back the Emperor's gifts at every turn. This position of prince will always be reserved for you. Please don't make things difficult for the Emperor anymore." . The emperor also said that from now on, no matter where the prince is, he will always give permission for whatever he wants to say."
After Eunuch Zheng finished speaking, he took out an imperial token from his arms and said, "Your Majesty, this is what the emperor specially asked me to hand over to the prince before I left. Your Majesty said that with this token, you can use it within the territory of our court." It's like the Holy Emperor is here in person, and the prince can make his own decisions in all matters without having to make any announcements."
Li Chouxin took the token, which made Sima Junke, the governor of Yushui, very envious. Fortunately, he did not make things difficult for the new prince in front of him, otherwise the few heads he had were not enough to chop off, so he stepped forward and said: "Congratulations, Your Majesty! With the token, it will be easier for Your Majesty to do things for the people in the future."
Looking at Sima Jun's flattering face, Li Chouxin said: "The governor is just joking. Even without this token, if the road is uneven, I will draw my sword to help you."
"Yes, yes! The prince said so."
"Eunuch Zheng, has the emperor considered the other thing Chou Xin said?" Li Chou Xin asked.
When Li Chouxin asked, Eunuch Zheng suddenly came to his senses and said, "Thanks to the prince for reminding me, I was only paying attention to the prince and almost forgot about this matter."
"You old thing, stop being so pretentious and tell me quickly." Li Chouxin said.
"According to the emperor's oral instructions, Du Jin will accompany the governor to the palace to meet the saint. Your Majesty has his own holy decree!"
When Du Jin heard this sentence, he felt as if he was in a dream and couldn't believe it.
"Master Du? Master Du? Why don't you thank me quickly!" Zheng Yi reminded.
Du Jin finally came to his senses and quickly thanked him.
"Master Du, please tidy up tonight. We will set off back to the palace to meet the Holy Emperor tomorrow," Zheng Yi said.
Li Chouxin looked at Du Jin's bewildered look, stepped forward and patted Du Jin on the shoulder and said: "Brother Du Jin, to be honest, I recommended you to the emperor. I see that brother Du Jin cares about people's livelihood, and He is talented and insightful, but it would be a pity not to be an official, so he took it upon himself to recommend Mr. Du. Talents like Mr. Du really shouldn't be buried."
Only then did Du Jin understand and said: "Brother Chou Xin, I, Du Jin, have failed every attempt and I am almost discouraged. I didn't expect to have such a good fortune today. I am really grateful."
But Li Chouxin smiled and said, "What's the point? If you don't believe me, just ask these people if they would like you to be their parents' official. What's more, I, Li Chouxin, am not blind. I see all this."
As soon as Li Chouxin finished speaking, the surrounding refugees shouted: "Your Majesty is right, we need people like Mr. Du to be the parents' official."
Looking at the scenes in front of him, Du Jin's eyes gradually became wet, and he said to everyone: "I, Du Jin, swear in front of you today, if Du Jin can achieve anything here, I will definitely dedicate my life to the people of the world. If you violate this oath, heaven and earth will punish you."
At this time, a little girl ran over and knelt in front of Du Jin.
"Brother Du Jin, when you go to the palace, can you tell the emperor that you should become an official in our Xihe County? As long as you are here, everyone will be able to live a good life."
Du Jin looked at the little girl and sighed in his heart.
At this time, the surrounding refugees were also kneeling on the ground and shouted to Du Jin: "Master Du, if you have the opportunity, go to Xihe County and become an official. We need you!"
The sound resounded outside Yushui City. Zheng Yi and Sima were both officials for many years, but they had never seen such an amazing scene. Li Chou was also very relieved. After all, he had not misjudged the person.
Du Jin also said loudly at this time: "If you are lucky, Du Jin is willing!"
After a heart-touching exchange, everyone gradually calmed down. Du Jin, Li Chouxin and others also entered Yushui City with everyone seeing them off.
"Brother Du Jin, tomorrow is the day of separation. Miss Luo Lan has a soft spot for you. You have to explain it carefully."
After listening to Li Chouxin's words, Du Jin remembered that Luo Lan was waiting at the inn. For a moment, he had no idea and didn't know how to talk to Luo Lan about this matter.
"Brother Chou Xin, I don't know what your opinion is, so please help me!"
Li Chouxin looked at Du Jin's dull look, a little amused, and said: "Don't worry, brother Du, this girl Luolan is not a troublesome person, just tell her directly, she will understand, and maybe you can gain something else. .”
When Li Chouxin said this, Du Jin also reacted and decided to tell the truth. The two of them had arrived at Luolanxuan Inn while chatting and laughing, and at this time several girls were also at the door looking in the direction of the city gate.
Seeing the two returning, several girls ran out and greeted them.
"You are finally back. If you don't come back, Miss Luolan will go looking for you. I have been thinking about this all day." Qinyin said.
At this time, Luo Lan, who was preparing wine and food, heard that Du Jin was back, put down the wine bottle in his hand, and hurried out.
The two looked at each other, having something in mind but not knowing how to open an account.
"It's good to come back. You've been out for a day. I guess you must be hungry. Come in and have something to eat. Miss Luolan has been preparing for the whole day." Seyu said.
Li Chouxin and Du Jin dismounted, followed several girls into the inn, and sat down at the sumptuous table. Luo Lan poured the wine and said, "Mr. Du, what did you gain from your trip today?"
Hearing this, Du Jin took out the jade pendant given by Taoist Wosong and told all the things in it. The girls were confused and didn't know whether it was true or not. They just nodded repeatedly.
"Then where is Yunyin Temple?" Si Yao asked.
Li Chouxin interrupted Du Jin who was about to speak and said: "This land of immortals has no fixed place. You can only see it if you are destined."
Du Jin also said quickly: "Yes, Brother Chouxin is right, Taoist Wosong said that Yunyin Temple is just a speck of dust between heaven and earth, floating freely, and it must no longer be where we are. "
Zhang Xiaopan complained at the side: "Master, you didn't take me to such a fun place. It really doesn't look like Master at all."
"Xiao Pan, if your master knew that there would be such an adventure, he would definitely take you there. Don't complain. Wouldn't the master ladies also go?" Qin Yin said.
"Now that Master Niang has said so, Xiaopan is no longer angry. Master, please tell us what other interesting things happened." Zhang Xiaopan continued.
Li Chou thought for a while and replied: "There's nothing else. I just received the thanks from the refugees outside the city and met the people from the palace who dealt with the refugees. As for other things, Brother Du will explain it later. Let me have some wine and something to eat first.”
Everyone turned their attention to Du Jin again, everyone was full of curiosity.
Du Jin also knew that this matter would have to be discussed sooner or later, so he also drank a glass of wine and said, "Everyone, we will say goodbye tomorrow."
When Du Jin said this, the first person who was surprised was Luo Lan.
Lorraine asked hesitantly: "Separation? Why so hasty?"
Du Jin looked into Luo Lan's eyes and said, "It was precisely because of the refugee issue that Brother Chouxin wrote to the court, and the court issued a decree to resolve the refugee issue. However, the Holy Father also sent an oral order asking me to follow Eunuch Zheng to Beijing tomorrow. Face the Saint."
After hearing this, Luo Lan's doubts gradually faded away and he said: "Enter the palace to meet the saint? It seems that Mr. Du will be able to get what he hoped for. You must know that His Majesty, who is aloof, will not easily invite people to the palace to meet the saint. of."
"That's true. Brother Du Jin will definitely become an official when he leaves. It just depends on how he chooses." Li Chouxin also said.
"Choice? Are you thinking about this before you go?" Seyu asked.
Li Chouxin looked at everyone and explained slowly: "Yes, Du Jin was recommended by me. Being an official is inevitable, but it depends on Du Jin where he becomes an official. Whether he is in the capital or returns to the prefecture or county, it all depends on Du Jin. My brother has only one thought, but I believe that as a person, I will be a good official who cares about the country and the people no matter where he is."
But Du Jin said: "All this is the credit of Brother Chouxin, who can be said to be my nobleman Du Jin. If what Brother Chouxin said is true, Du Jin has promised the refugees outside the city and will rebuild his hometown with them. Once you say what you say, you must do it.”
Li Chouxin asked at this time: "It seems that Brother Du is really determined. Have you ever thought about what Miss Luolan will do?"
Li Chouxin's question stumped Du Jin. Although he had expressed his feelings about the poem before, there was no substantial progress between the two. He didn't know how to express these words, so Du Jin fell into silence.
Seeing Du Jin's embarrassment, Luo Lan said: "It's nothing. The little girl is alone and relies on this inn to make a living. It's the same wherever she goes, she just changes her place to make a living."
Qinyin Seyu and others looked at Luolan's infatuated look, and recalled the past when they followed Li Chouxin, but they were so devoid of regrets, so Seyu said: "Brother Du, this Luolan girl said It’s so clear, why don’t you make any movement? Are you waiting for something?”
Du Jin then smiled awkwardly and said, "I know Miss Luolan is deeply affectionate, but if this trip is really like what Brother Chouxin said, Du will go to Xihe County and rebuild their homes and lives with the victims. But it’s very tiring, if you go with me, wouldn’t it be a hardship for the girl, so Du doesn’t know where to start.”
When Luo Lan heard what Du Jin said, he was also happy and said: "Since Mr. Du has this intention, Luo Lan is not afraid of hardship. You must know that it is not only helping the refugees rebuild their homes, but also building a home for us." Luo Lan. After Lan finished speaking, a blush appeared on her face, but her eyes were always fixed on Du Jin.
Du Jin also looked at Luo Lan affectionately, and the two of them looked at each other silently without saying anything, but their hearts were already surging.
Li Chouxin said at this time: "In that case, then Chouxin would like to congratulate you two in advance. It's just that we are saying goodbye this time. I don't know when we will see each other again. How about we drink this cup together and treat it as drinking your wedding wine in advance?" "
Hearing this, Qin Yin Seyu, Si Yao and others also started to make noises, pulling Luo Lan to drink the wedding wine. Everyone's faces were filled with satisfied smiles, and thousands of words condensed into bursts of real laughter at this moment. .
Several people drank and chatted until late at night before going back to their rooms to sleep.
The next day, Zheng Yi arrived at Luolanxuan early in the morning to wait for Du Jin to enter the palace to meet the saint.
With everyone seeing him off, Du Jin walked out of the inn with his baggage on his back, followed by Luo Lan.
Arriving in front of Zheng Yi, Du Jin said: "Eunuch Zheng, please wait a moment while I say goodbye to all my friends."
When Zheng Yi was about to say that time was running out, Li Chouxin came over. Zheng Yi immediately changed his attitude and said, "It's a long journey, so please hurry up, Mr. Du."
"Brother Du Jin, after we say goodbye this time, it may be difficult to meet again. If we are destined to get to know each other, this life will not be wasted. I hope that when you go, the clouds will rise, and the world will know you." Li Chouxin said.
Du Jin was also filled with emotion: "Brother Chou Xin, although our reunion was fleeting, our friendship is as deep as the ocean. If we are destined to meet again, I will definitely explore the mountains and seas with Brother Chou Xin, cherish it!"
Luo Lan also came over, looked at Du Jin with reluctance, and said: "Brother Du, Luo Lan is waiting for you here. If you don't come for one day, I will wait for you for one day. If you don't come for ten years, I will wait for you for ten years." If you don’t come in this life, I will still be here waiting for you.”
After hearing Luo Lan's affectionate words, Du Jin couldn't help but feel pity and said: "Don't worry Luo Lan, the day I, Du Jin, come back is the time to marry you."
Afterwards, Du Jin, Qin Yin and others also said goodbye one by one, and then got on their horses and were about to leave, but suddenly realized that they seemed to have forgotten something, so they dismounted again, walked up to Luo Lan, and said, "There is no basis for what you say. This is lying." Mr. Songdao gave me the life-saving jade, and now I ask Miss Luolan to accept it, which can be regarded as entrusting my life to the girl's hands."
Luo Lan took the Yujue and had tears in his eyes.
Du Jin no longer hesitated, got on his horse and galloped away after Zheng Yi.
When Li Chouxin and others saw that Du Jin had left, they also planned to say goodbye and leave towards Tianmu Mountain. They explained the situation to Luo Lan and then returned to the inn to pack their things.
At noon, Li Chouxin and others also packed up and went out, but Luo Lan called out: "Brother Chouxin, since we have to say goodbye, why not have some drinks before leaving. I don't know when we will meet again in the future."
Seeing Luo Lan's enthusiasm, several people sat down.
"Miss Luolan, what will happen to your inn if Mr. Du Jin comes back?" Si Yao asked.
"I plan to sell the inn in the next few days, and wait for Brother Du Jin to come back before leaving with him."
After hearing Luo Lan's firm answer, Se said: "If Mr. Du doesn't come back, wouldn't it be a big loss?"
"No, Brother Du will not lie to me." Luo Lan said still firmly.
"Okay, Se Yu, I can't stop your mouth even if you eat. Don't worry, Miss Luo Lan, Du Jin must be a man of his word. You will get what you want in a few days," Li Chouxin said.
So after they finished eating, they hurriedly left Luolanxuan and left Yushui City.
Since everyone left, Luo Lan sold the inn and stayed as a guest. For the past three days, he has been guarding outside the city gate every day, just waiting for Du Jin to return.
Finally, on the afternoon of the third day, a fast horse flew from a distance, dust was everywhere, and it was like an arrow returning home. The horse got closer and closer, and Luo Lan saw that it was Du Jin.
Du Jin came to the city and saw Luo Lan waiting for him. He dismounted, ran over, and took Luo Lan into his arms. Their emotions were finally released at this moment.
After a while of greetings, Du Jin led the horse with one hand and Luo Lan with the other into the city.
"Miss Luolan, the emperor has agreed to let me go to Xihe County. The original county magistrate was corrupt and perverted the law and ignored the people. He has been investigated and punished. So after I fought hard, the emperor agreed for me to go to Xihe County. The only difference is that I have to go to Xihe County. It’s hard on you.”
"Brother Du, don't say that. If I can't share the hardships with you, how can I share the joys with you? As long as Luo Lan follows Brother Du, he won't be afraid of anything."
"What about your inn?" Du Jin asked again.
"The inn has been sold. The money is enough for us to buy another one in Hexi. The rest may be able to help many people."
After hearing what Luo Lan said, Du Jin was so moved that he couldn't help but hold Luo Lan's hand a little tighter.
When the two returned to the inn, Du Jin, who wanted to help Luo Lan pack his things, found that Luo Lan had already packed everything and was just waiting for his return.
Seeing this situation, Du Jin hugged Luo Lan into his arms again and said in his ear: "With you in my life, I have nothing more to ask for. I just wronged you."
Luo Lan didn't speak, just leaned quietly in Du Jin's arms, feeling Du Jin's beating heart, and was very satisfied.
After cuddling together for a long time, the two decided to leave for Xihe County immediately. After all, the disaster was urgent, and if they went early, they could help the people earlier. If they rode horses, they could arrive before dark, so the two of them left Yushui on each horse.
Since Li Chouxin and others left Yushui, they have been traveling eastward to a place called Suizhou, which is getting closer and closer to Tianmu Mountain. Li Chouxin also plans to study the Taoist Taoist Wosong here. I gave you the formation diagram and my understanding of the strongest sword, Galaxy Luo Jiutian.
Several people entered the city and looked for a place to stay.
