Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 60: Lan Ruochun Begins to Be Beautiful (3)
"Then what kind of person am I in your heart now?" Yu Fengjin's tone was very warm, which was very different from the past.
"Well... yes... he's a good man..." Perhaps forced by his momentum, Lu Ning lowered his head.
"Good person? Hahaha, this word... it sounds a bit perfunctory to me." Yu Fengjin couldn't help laughing when she saw the shyness and anger between her brows and the corners of her eyes.
"A sneeze." The mountain wind blew in waves, and Lu Ning's thin clothes gradually became unbearable. He couldn't help but sneeze, and his body began to tremble.
Yu Fengjin quickly took off her robe, carefully put it on her body, and said softly: "Although it is spring, the temperature in the mountains is still very low. Why don't we go back as soon as possible."
"Thank you." The man's breath came with a warm current, and Lu Ning felt an indescribable emotion slowly welling up in his chest.
Yu Fengjin suddenly took off a pendant from her neck and hung it gently on her neck. Lu Ning looked down and saw that it was a small amulet. She couldn't help but look up at him with a surprised expression.
"This is the blessing of peace I went to Xiangguo Temple at the beginning of the year. Now I will give it to you. As long as you wear it with you, you will be blessed by the Buddha." Yu Fengjin's face showed an unnatural blush, and her tone
But as usual.
Lu Ning lowered his eyes and smiled, gently stroking the amulet around his neck, feeling that his body was getting slightly hot.
Seeing this scene, Yan Rong and Mr. Murong, who were standing not far away, winked at each other and snickered: "Did you see it, the two of them have already exchanged love tokens! There must be something interesting about this!".
As soon as he finished speaking, several people gathered together and started laughing.
"What are you talking about? Why are you smiling so happily?" Lu Ning and Yu Fengjin came over and looked at several people in confusion.
Several people turned around and said in unison: "It's okay, everyone is just telling a joke!"
"It's getting late, let's go down the mountain quickly." Yu Fengjin glanced at Yan Rong meaningfully and got on the carriage. Then he suggested to Lu Ning: "The night is cold and the dew is heavy. Miss Lu, why don't you come with me?"
Let’s take a ride.”
Lu Ning looked at the snow velvet horse next to him awkwardly, and said with a wry smile: "What about the snow velvet?"
Yan Rong hurriedly came over, took the reins from her hands, smoothed Xuerong's mane, and said with a smile: "Leave him to me. Now that we are familiar with each other, he quite likes me!" He couldn't help but say.
He got on the horse's back, and Xue Rong understood the situation and didn't embarrass him any more.
After Lu Ning boarded the carriage, the group of people took advantage of the dusk to slowly go down the mountain. At dusk, the soft glow covered the mountains and fields, and the fragrance of vegetation and wild flowers could be faintly wafted in the air.
But not long after, thin wisps of rain suddenly began to fall from the sky. People on horseback put on bamboo hats and raincoats and walked down the hillside in the slanting wind and drizzle.
The mountain road became muddy, and horses' hooves could easily sink into the mud. Everyone's speed slowed down. The group was about to reach the foot of the mountain when a faint moan suddenly came from the grass: "Help, help!"
With their sharp ears, Yan Rong and Tie Lin were the first to hear the moaning. But they just looked at each other and did not rein in their horses. However, the moaning did not stop. The sound sounded a little scared and a little anxious.
Yan Rong pondered for a moment, urged his horse to the carriage, and gently knocked on the window. The window was opened, revealing Yu Fengjin's angular profile: "What's wrong?"
Yan Rong leaned over and reported in a low voice: "Brother, I heard someone shouting for help in the grass."
Yu Fengjin raised her eyes to look at him and asked, "Who is calling for help?"
Yan Rong shook his head and said, "I don't know, do you want to go and have a look?"
Yu Fengjin lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Go and have a look. But be more careful in case there is a scam."
Yan Rong immediately turned his horse's head and walked towards Xun Sheng with Tie Lin. Seeing the nervousness on their faces, Toto also urged his horse to follow.
Several people walked to the grass and stopped. Yan Rong looked down and found some fresh blood stains on the grass. He took out his sword and pushed aside the grass, and asked warily: "Who is in there?"
A painful groan came from inside: "
Hero, help me, I'm seriously injured!"
Yan Rong turned around and glanced at Tie Lin and Totuo. The two nodded to him, and then they picked up their weapons and stood guard on both sides of the station. Yan Rong emboldened himself, pushed aside the grass, and suddenly discovered a double
The man with an injured leg was lying on the grass looking at himself in horror.
He was about the same age, with a plump appearance, bright eyes, and a righteous face. Although he was wearing the common people's coarse linen clothes, he could not hide his noble temperament. Yan Rong walked over and searched, and found that he only brought a baggage.
He was not carrying any weapons, so he breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the wounds on the man's legs again and found that some of the knife wounds were deep enough to show the bones.
"Who are you? Why are you here? How did you get hurt?" Yan Rong asked quickly.
The man looked at the three people who came in horror, and his eyes fell on Tie Lin. Seeing that he was wearing the clothes of an officer and a soldier, his eyes immediately brightened: "Are you from the government?"
Tie Lin was startled and said in a deep voice: "So what?"
The man cried with joy and said excitedly: "Great! I finally meet someone from the Beiyu government!"
Yan Rong and Tie Lin looked at each other, feeling strange at his emphasis, and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you from Beiyu?"
But the man didn't answer and asked instead: "Can you take me to see the emperor? I have a big matter to face the emperor!"
As soon as these words came out, the two of them were shocked and became more suspicious. Yan Rong thought about it again and again and winked at Tie Lin. The two stepped forward and carefully lifted the man out. Tie Lin took the wine bottle and cleaned it for him.
He tore off his clothes and bandaged the wound briefly.
The severe pain made the man scream and almost fainted. When the pain subsided, he said weakly: "Thank you to the heroes for saving me. I was being hunted and I managed to escape here. I don't know if you guys
Can you take me into the palace to meet the saint?"
Yan Rong looked at him warily and said seriously: "Entering the palace is no small matter. I don't even know who you are, so how can I take you in so easily. Besides, not everyone can see the emperor!"
The man pondered for a moment and then said politely: "I'm sorry that my status is special and it's inconvenient for me to inform you two. So why not bother a few heroes to take me to the government office. When I get to the government office, I will explain it to the prefect.
reason."
"Then you wait here for a moment, I will report to my master first." Yan Rong winked at Tie Lin and asked him to look at the man here, while he turned around and walked towards the carriage, reporting everything to Yu Fengjin truthfully.
"Bring him here!" Yu Fengjin pondered for a moment and waved to Yan Rong.
Soon, Yan Rong and Tie Lin worked together to carry the man to the carriage. While Yu Fengjin looked at the man, the man also looked at him wantonly.
"Who are you? Why do you want to enter the palace to face the saint? Why are you being hunted?" Yu Fengjin's eyes were still gentle and clear, but the coldness in his tone had secretly ignited.
"Look at your luxurious clothes, graceful temperament, and a sense of nobility in your every move. You must be either a prostitute or a member of the royal family, right?" the man probed without fear.
Yu Fengjin pursed her lips tightly and remained silent, which was a kind of acquiescence.
The man bit his lips tightly. His face was full of anxiety, and he could see that he was very entangled in his heart. Perhaps the injury on his leg was too serious. He knew that he didn't have much time, so he sighed heavily and said in deep thought.
: "It seems that you are unwilling to help me if I don't reveal my identity..."
"As long as you understand." Yu Fengjin's tone became even colder.
"That's alright." The man raised his eyes and stared at him, and said seriously: "To be honest, I am Pei Xinyin, the Prime Minister of Annan. Because major changes occurred in Annan, I had to escape and seek help from Beiyu. But Annan's rebels came all the way.
They chased me fiercely and refused to let me go even when they reached Beiyu. The people who escorted me all the way tried their best, but they were still one step away from being able to face the saint..." After saying that, he looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, with a look of pain on his face.
.
The facts he said were so shocking that Yu Fengjin and Yan Rong looked at each other suspiciously. Yan Rong asked coldly: "You said you are Annan's minister, how do we know you are not just talking?"
Pei Xinyin was not annoyed, and just sighed: "You are right to doubt me. But think about it, I am old and seriously injured, what good does it do me to deceive you?"
"How come Prime Minister Annan doesn't have any bodyguards around him?" Yu Fengjin asked.
Pei Xinyin gritted his teeth and said in pain: "They... they were all killed. Without them, I would not even be able to leave Annan's country with my old bones..."
"Since such a serious change has occurred in Annan, why is there no news at all in Beiyu?" Yu Fengjin continued to press.
Pei Xinyin frowned, and the corners of his mouth showed distress: "The people who started the rebellion were the royal family of Annan. They had their hands in the court and obstructed them, so they kept this matter secret..."
When Yu Fengjin saw that there was no contradiction in his words and that he was able to justify himself, she nodded slightly to Yan Rong and then lowered the curtains to cover herself.
Yan Rong walked to Pei Xinyin and said in a more polite tone: "We still need to verify what you said. Let's take you to a safe place to settle down first. When your information is confirmed, we will naturally
Arrange for you to enter the palace to meet the saint!"
"That's great! Thank you so much!" Pei Xinyin burst into tears with excitement. Due to the inconvenience of his legs and feet, he could only bow to him repeatedly to thank him.
Every time Yu Fengjin came to worship, he would send a lot of alms to Lanruo Temple. These things would be transported up the mountain in special carriages. After the worship, the carriages were all empty, and Yan Rong and Tielin settled Pei Xinyin in a carriage.
Go up. And arranged four personal guards to accompany the car to protect the people on the car.
I thought everything was safe, but unexpectedly, several sharp arrows suddenly flew out of the woods on both sides and headed straight for the people in front of the carriage.
Before the others could react, Yan Rong and Tie Lin used quick eyes and hands to block with their swords. Pei Xinyin dodged the fatal blow, but his right arm was pierced by a sharp arrow.
Several arrows hit the carriage, but two fish that escaped the net were shot into the window. Lu Ning reacted very quickly, grabbed King Yi and threw him to the ground, and two cold arrows stuck to her back and shot her hard.
