The fire grew bigger and bigger, and spread along the ropes to tables, chairs, window sills, walls, and finally the entire room was burned. Facing the raging fire all around, the killers were unwilling to be burned alive and rushed outside one after another.
He rushed over, and Agui shouted to urge them to come back. However, those people were exhausted and did not listen to him at all. As a result, they all vomited blood and died. Seeing that he had suddenly become a polished commander, Agui couldn't help but turned pale, covering his nose with one hand,
He cut off the rope with a knife and finally rushed out of Liu's house, but Shao Yan and others were no longer there. Agui was so angry that he beat his chest and vowed to kill Shao Yan with his own hands.
At the same time, Shao Yan, Liu Meng and others quickly caught up with Liu Fuju and others. After that, everyone got on the carriage and drove east happily. The journey was smooth. Because they were in such a hurry, it took less than half a day.
At that time, everyone came to the dock of Nanliang Kingdom together.
The breeze blew gently, and there were layers of green waves on the river. Under the reflection of the moonlight and a few lanterns, it gave off a faint white light. The lilies kept hitting the shore and the passenger boats docking, making a crackling sound.
Sound, since it was night, there were not many people on the dock. Most of them were businessmen who had just arrived from Donglin Country. There were not many people actually waiting for the ship.
Looking from a distance, several bats are flying back and forth on the vast river, as if blessing people in the distance.
"Brother, take care along the way"
On the pier, Liu Fuju bowed deeply to Shao Yan and said
"Brother, are you really unwilling to go to Donglin?" Shao Yan originally wanted Liu Fuju and his family to move to Donglin, but Liu Fuju was unwilling to leave his hometown no matter what. Liu Meng, Liu Chan and his brother wanted to leave Nanliang, but their father's character
Stubborn, they couldn't bear to leave him alone in Nanliang
Seeing Shao Yan looking at him helplessly, Liu Fuju patted his shoulder and sighed: "Brother, I don't want to go to Donglin with you, but there are still many things waiting for me to do here, I promise you,
When I finish the work at hand, I will bring Mengmeng and the baby to you."
"But……"
Just as Shao Yan was about to continue, Liu Fuju chuckled and said, "I know what you want to say, isn't it just a house? Burn it down. Money is something that is nothing outside of you. I really don't care about it. Besides, it's just a house."
I had already moved my valuable things to another place. Before that, I had already thought about it. I still have a house in Yunzhou, which is more than a hundred miles away from the capital. I believe Wang Boyan will not be able to find it at once.
,Brother, you don’t have to worry about me.”
"Now that my brother has made up his mind, I won't say more, brother. I hope to be waiting for you in Donglin Kingdom in the future." Shao Yan stepped forward and clasped his fists.
"It's a deal." Liu Fu nodded with a smile on his face, and then walked over to say goodbye to Deng Bingtang, Yun Yun and others. At this time, Liu Chan came to Shaoyan reluctantly, pursed his lips and said: "Second uncle, here we are.
Donglin Kingdom, don’t forget to give birth to your baby, the baby will miss you.”
"Haha, the second uncle will miss you too. If he has time in the future, the second uncle will definitely come back to see you." Shao Yan said while holding those white and clean hands. Liu Chan suddenly blushed with embarrassment and became angry.
Yi Xi's expression made Shao Yan's heart boil.
"Little——Second Uncle" Liu Meng came to Shao Yan, and it took a lot of effort to call out these three words. When the girl spoke, her pretty face was rosy, her long eyelashes were stained with a few drops of nectar, and her little cherry
She has a pair of small dimples on her mouth, which is very attractive. Shao Yan has liked beauties with dimples since he was a child, but because Liu Meng's temper is a bit domineering, he doesn't dare to have any wrong ideas.
Seeing that the girl who had always been domineering suddenly became so shy, Shao Yan was really not used to it, so he cleared his throat and pretended to be an elder and said: "Mengmeng, during the days when my second uncle is away, you have to take good care of yourself.
Take good care of your father and your brother, you know?"
"Mengmeng knows, please rest assured, uncle." Liu Meng looked at Shao Yan affectionately, "Little uncle, it's a long way to go, so you have to take care of yourself."
"Yes, I will." Shao Yan nodded. Just as he was talking, the boatman's signal to sail was heard on the passenger ship.
"Let's set sail————"
Shao Yan, Deng Bingtang and others said goodbye to the Liu family and boarded the passenger ship. When the passenger ship was about to reach the middle of the river, Shao Yan occasionally turned around and realized that Liu Meng was still standing on the pier, waving goodbye to him.
The late autumn wind brought a chill to the body. Shao Yan stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the increasingly blurry dock. As the passenger ship continued to move forward, Liu Meng's figure became smaller and smaller, replaced by the endless canal.
"Mengmeng is such an infatuated girl." Before she finished speaking, Yunyun walked out of the cabin and picked up a piece of clothing to put on Shao Yan. Her tone was filled with a hint of jealousy and envy, "Such a good girl, Shao Yan."
The master should keep her by his side."
Seeing that the girl's face was slightly red and there was no sign of anger, Shao Yan gently held her little hand and said affectionately: "Mengmeng is good, but I am satisfied with you by my side."
Yun Yun gently pushed his hand and said shyly: "Young Master is joking with Yun Yun again. It is so common for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention Young Master, you are——, Yun Yun just wants to be by your side all the time.
You don’t care about anything else, let alone sharing the same man with other women.”
This sentence is called loyalty in modern times, but it was reasonable in ancient times. Women must obey the three virtues and give everything for men. Shao Yan was deeply moved, and he held her in his arms with one hand and said gently:
"I will spend my whole life taking care of you"
"Young Master——" I wanted to laugh and cry. I finally heard the words I wanted to hear most for many years. "It's the same, I will guard you every step of the way in this life." After saying that, Nono said quietly.
He dug his body into Shao Yan's arms
"Haha, you've been guarding me day and night, are you still worried that I'll be lost?" Shao Yan smiled slightly, touched her little nose with his finger and said, a blush flashed across his pretty face,
She smiled tenderly and said: "Of course, as long as this happens for a day, the young master will never lose it."
Seeing how cute this girl's naughty look was, Shao Yan kissed her on the forehead. She was so shocked that her body trembled, and her face turned red like a ripe tomato. "Young Master, you sneak attack on me, you are too much."
It's broken." As he said this, he pressed his hot face against Shao Yan's chest. Shao Yan laughed loudly and couldn't help but stroke her black and beautiful hair with his hands. He smelled the faint floral fragrance on it and his mood suddenly changed.
Become much more comfortable
Night, quiet and warm
The two of them sat on the bow of the boat, looking up at the bright moon in the sky. Yun Yun leaned on Shao Yan's shoulder, pointed at the black dot in the moon, and said strangely: "Young Master, you see that thing seems to be moving."
"That's Wu Gang cutting down trees."
"Wu Gang, who is Wu Gang? Why did he cut down the tree?" I was so curious.
It seems that people in this era do not know the story of Chang'e. Shao Yan looked up at the sky and said: "Wu Gang was the great general in the sky. Once he made some mistakes in the heaven, the Jade Emperor drove him to Guanghan Palace in anger and let him go."
He cut down the osmanthus tree every day, but no matter how he cut it, the osmanthus tree kept cutting down and grew bigger and bigger. Therefore, Wu Gang would work hard to cut down the osmanthus tree day and night, hoping that one day he would be forgiven by the Jade Emperor and return to his hometown.
"Heaven's errand"
Yunyun groaned and asked: "As the Lord of Heaven, the Jade Emperor deserves rewards and punishments, but is this punishment too severe?"
Shao Yan shook his head and smiled: "No, there is a Guanghan fairy named Chang'e living in Guanghan Palace. She is very beautiful and is simply a model for all women in the world. Some women often compare their appearance to Chang'e.
For comparison, I hope to become as beautiful as Chang'e in the future."
"Is there such a beauty in the world?"
"Chang'e is quite lonely living alone in the Guanghan Palace. It's not a bad thing to have Wu Gang by her side this time. Youdao is that men and women can work together without getting tired. Besides, Wu Gang faces the alluring beauty Chang'e all day long.
You won’t feel tired even if you are tired.”
"Young Master's words are really interesting, but this story does sound a little sad." Yun Yun covered her lips and chuckled, clasped her hands together and muttered silently: "I sincerely wish that the beautiful Fairy Chang'e can find her husband as soon as possible, so that she doesn't have to be alone.
I am all alone, and I wish General Wu can cut down the osmanthus tree as soon as possible and return to heaven."
In a dream, he kept cutting down trees for several lifetimes. Shao Yan hid his smile and said with a smile: "I thought so too. This Jade Emperor is really, why do you have to let people cut down trees if you are doing a good job? I can just get a few."
Just raise poultry for him, raise pigs, feed rabbits, grow flowers and plants, any of them are good, and it can also create wealth for heaven. How could he not think of such a thing that kills two birds with one stone?"
Yunyun chuckled, and suddenly looked up at the bright moon hanging in the sky, and then asked Shao Yan: "Young master, this Fairy Chang'e is so beautiful, there must be many people pursuing her?"
"Of course, even Zhu Bajie drools every time he sees her."
"Who is Zhu Bajie? Why is he called such a strange name?"
"This——, it's a long story." Shao Yan inadvertently mentioned the characters in "Journey to the West", which immediately aroused such curiosity. After the girl repeatedly nudged her, Shao Yan had no choice but to jump with her.
He enthusiastically told the story of Monk Tang’s pilgrimage to the West. He was so interested in listening to it that he lay on top of him and fell asleep without knowing it.
…………………………
The cabin drove all night and arrived at the dock of Donglin Kingdom early the next morning. Shao Yan, Deng Bingtang and others got off the ship. Wang Wu ran to the nearby area and hired a carriage. Everyone rushed to the capital - Luojing.
Just when the carriage entered the streets of Luojing, a burst of angry curses was heard in the distance. A group of soldiers on horseback suddenly rushed out from the other end of the street. They were all menacing and would attack anyone who blocked the way.
With a strong whip, the people who came to the market were so frightened that they stepped aside. The vendors on the side of the street were unable to dodge, and their stalls had already been kicked into chaos by the horses.
Wang Wu drove the carriage forward. When the soldiers saw a carriage blocking the road ahead, they quickly drew their weapons and surrounded them. The leader was a middle-aged man with a thin face. He walked to the carriage with a knife,
Staring at Wang Wudao: "You are a bold maniac who dares to block the people from the Regent's Palace. Get out of my way!"
Wang Wu yawned, looked at the man with half-open eyes, and said disdainfully: "What a piece of shit is the regent? No matter how great the prince is, is he as big as the emperor?"
"You are so brave. You dare to openly insult the Prince Regent. Brothers, lift this sedan for me."
