Sang all night? Looking at Elaine's dry lips, he was shocked and hurriedly stuffed the water bottle into the girl's hand: "Quick, quick, drink some water!"
Elaine nodded, took a few sips of water, and smiled sweetly at him.
Lin Wanrong said earnestly: "Elaine, you can sing, but you can't keep singing like this. If you are tired, you must rest!"
"Brother Alin, I am not tired!" The girl lowered her head and said cautiously: "There are many people tonight, if I don't sing, I am afraid you won't be able to find us!"
He would definitely be able to find them, but it would take some effort. Alin sighed and pulled her: "Well, today is an exception, don't do this next time!"
"Yes!" Elaine nodded heavily, smiled and stretched out her hand: "Brother Alin, look, our stockade is over there!"
Following the direction of her finger, the girls and boys of Reflecting Moon Dock were waving at him, beckoning them to hurry over.
Pulling Elaine along, they had only taken two steps when the Midas around them had already surrounded them. They were shouting loudly, and some of them even started singing love songs, unwilling to let her go at all. Lin Wanrong grinned and said with a smile, "Elaine, these are all your admirers! So many handsome boys, how about, do you like anyone? Brother Alin will help you check! "
The girl blushed: "No! Just take care of yourself! "
People said that Miao girls were affectionate, but this girl was very shy. Lin Wanrong laughed and pulled her out of the crowd, desperately squeezing a path, and fled.
Elaine followed behind him, blinking her eyes: "Brother Alin, you came back so late. Did you go to Five Lotus Peak? "
Lin Wanrong's eyes suddenly widened: "You, how do you know?!"
"Even a fool can guess!" Elaine snorted slightly, and suddenly burst into laughter: "How is it, did you see the saintess you think about day and night?"
She did not know the details. She treated Alin's words as a lie. Her tone was mostly teasing, but Lin Wanrong was emotional. He silently shook his head.
Elaine giggled and said, "That's not surprising. Look at all the Midas here, 99% of them are thinking about the Sage Nun. If they could all see her, wouldn't that be great? "
I'm different from them! Lin Wanrong opened his mouth to explain. But he did not know where to start.
Elaine saw that he had a difficult look on his face. He didn't ask any more questions. He lowered his head and said softly, "Brother Alin. These days I teach you mountain songs. How much have you learned? "
Lin Wanrong shyly stretched out five fingers. The girl was surprised and delighted. "Fifty?! Brother Alin, you're amazing! "
He broke out in a cold sweat and was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks. Only then did he softly snort, "Five, five heads!"
Five songs? Elaine secretly stuck out her tongue. This Brother Alin is smart in everything. It was just that she was a little slow at learning to sing. She giggled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's five. This is all your blood and sweat! At the Flower Mountain Festival. But you have to sing it. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing for me as a master! "
Lin Wanrong was not afraid of anything. His skin was as thick as a city wall. He dared to say and do anything, but he was not very good at singing love songs. After learning from Elaine for a few days, he was too embarrassed to make a sound. He was surprisingly shy in this aspect. Elaine had also grasped his meridians. That was why she said that.
"Try your best, try your best!" He prevaricated and laughed. But his heart was uneasy. Will Sister Master really sing love songs with me? Damn it, isn't this killing me?!
Among the young men and women who returned to Moon Reflection Dock, everyone was jubilant. They gathered around the campfire and listened to his story. This time, it was about fighting against the Turks. Even the four virtues who were used to his bragging were fascinated. Speaking of tension. The men and women of the Miao Village did not dare to breathe loudly. Elaine even pinched his arm until it was red.
In the dead of night, all living things were silent. Everyone laid down on the ground and quietly fell asleep. It was quiet outside the city. Only the crackling bonfire was burning. The gentle sound was like a warm drum.
A crescent moon hung in the night sky. The cold moonlight shone on the ground and on his cheeks, it was cold.
Today was the first day of September. The day of Yue Ya 'er's poison was getting closer. Until now, they still did not know what poison she was poisoned with or if there was an antidote. Lin Wanrong felt like there were thousands of ants crawling on his body. He could not sleep no matter what!
"Brother Lin, what's wrong?" Elaine walked to his side and looked at him with wide eyes.
Elaine was the leader of the group of young men and women. She really looked like a leader. Every night, she would patrol the night, cover everyone with blankets and drive away mosquitoes. She was meticulous and conscientious, so her reputation was naturally high.
Looking at the girl's diligent look, Lin Wanrong nodded and smiled, "Elaine, if the sage is no longer the leader, I will recommend you! In your hands, the Miao Village will definitely flourish! "
"Brother Lin, you're making fun of me!" Elaine sat beside him and said shyly, "How can I be compared to the sage? She is the spiritual pillar of our Miao Family! "
"Spiritual pillar?" Lin Wanrong was puzzled, "Elaine, the sage only returned to the Miao Village at the beginning of spring this year. You have never interacted with her before. Why do you think so highly of her?"
The girl shook her head lightly, "Brother Lin, you are not a member of the Miao Family, so you don't know. Although the Sage Nun has been wandering outside all these years and rarely returns to the Miao Village, many of our Miao Village's suspended structures, schools, bridges, and irrigation works were all funded and built by her. In order to prevent embezzlement, she asked the elders to bring the banknotes one by one from outside the mountains. She also hired many farmers to teach our Miao Family how to cultivate our fields, open up wastelands, and build irrigation works. Every spring, she would buy seeds for us and hire people to teach us how to read and write. Big Brother Ah Lin, the Sage Nun is really an amazing person. Tell me, how could our Miao Family not be grateful to her?
It turns out that Sister An has such a warm side. If Elaine didn't mention it, I wouldn't have known. Thinking of Sister An's unrestrained appearance, Lin Wanrong was extremely touched. Sister Master and I are really the same!
"Brother Lin, I want to be like the sage for the rest of my life!" Elaine said shyly.
"Then do you know that in order to help the people in the Miao Village, the sage has been wandering outside alone all these years and suffered a lot?"
"I am not afraid of suffering!" Elaine raised her head firmly, "I will be like the sage. For the Miao Family, I am not afraid of anything! Do you believe me? "
Looking at the girl's hopeful eyes. He seemed to see the young An Biru. Beautiful, innocent, capable, and strong. What would her future be like? Lin Wanrong let out a long sigh. He nodded heavily.
Elaine smiled sweetly and curled up in his arms silently, "Brother Lin, you are so nice! It would be great if you could stay in our Miao Village forever! "
Am I nice? Compared to Sister An. I don't seem to be that great! But if I change Sister An from a sage to a sage sister-in-law. She would become the son-in-law of the Miao Village. That would be the same as staying in the Miao Village. Elaine's wish would come true!
He thought of something. He laughed out loud. He wanted to talk to Elaine again. The girl from the Miao Family had already fallen asleep.
There were many things on his mind that night. One moment, Sister An, the next moment, Crescent Moon. He slept soundly. He opened his eyes in a daze. The sky was already bright. There was a thick mattress on his body. There was a faint fragrance of perfume. Elaine had already woken up. She was building a stove with a few sisters to start a fire. Smoke slowly rose from the chimney.
Four Virtues came over and whispered a few words in his ear. Lin Wanrong's expression turned cold. He nodded and got up to leave.
"Brother Lin —" The girl from the Miao Family held two hot cornbread that had just been baked. She blew and jogged to his hand, "For you!"
The few pieces of autumn frost on her hair had already condensed into water droplets. Under the rising sun. It was shining with a colorful and holy luster. Her face was as red as the bright morning glow. Lin Wanrong took the cornbread. He immediately cried out. It was so hot that his lips were trembling.
Elaine giggled. Brother Lin looked at her helplessly, "I will be able to find our village tonight. Don't sing anymore! Of course. If there is a guy you like who will sing with you. That's an exception. Hehe! "
"No way!" Elaine blushed. She said softly, "Come back early. I — everyone is waiting for you to tell them stories! "
I've become the king of stories! He smiled and nodded. He bid farewell to everyone. He walked straight towards the city.
The Flower Mountain Festival would begin tomorrow. This was the grandest festival of the Miao Village. Villagers from far and near poured into the city. The streets were packed to the brim. The entire Yunlian had become a big gathering of the Miao Family.
After shuttling through the crowd for a while, a big head suddenly appeared from a hidden corner and secretly waved at him. It was Gao Qiu. He walked over quickly. He saw Xingwen County Magistrate Wu Yuan dressed in casual clothes. With a fat belly, he hurriedly knelt down, "This lowly official Wu Yuan greets Mister —"
"Alright, alright." Lin Wanrong waved his hand, "There's no need for these empty formalities!"
"Yes. Yes! I wonder if Lord Consort has had breakfast? This lowly official has prepared a few pastries nearby. Please Lord Consort — "
"No need. I like to eat this! "He snorted. He waved the half-eaten cornbread in his hand.
Wu Yuan was shocked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, "Lord has gone deep into the village and loves the people like his own children. Sharing weal and woe with them. You are a model for the world, a role model for us! This lowly official will follow Lord's example and promote your glorious spirit. And — "
This guy started to flatter. Even I am no match for him. Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth as he listened. He hurriedly interrupted him, "No need for pleasantries! Lord Wu. Do you have any news on the matter that Commander Gao asked you to investigate? "
"Yes. Yes! " Wu Yuan lowered his voice and bowed respectfully, "In reply to your question, this lowly official has already investigated. Noon today. Miao Village's Big Boss Zha Guo is going to the Fragrant Melody Restaurant nearby. To invite Lord Prefect! "
Fragrant Melody Restaurant was the best tavern in Yunlian. He had seen it yesterday when he entered the city. It was indeed quite imposing. Lin Wanrong grunted in response. He said unhurriedly, "Zha Guo is holding a banquet for guests. I believe Lord Wu is also invited, right? "
"This, this —" Wu Yuan was so scared that he shrunk his head, not daring to breathe loudly.
"Actually it's nothing! Since someone is treating. It's a waste not to go! " Lin Wanrong patted his shoulder and said with a fake smile, "Go and listen to what the Big Boss and Lord Prefect have to say. These two are the role models of the Hua Miao family!! "
Hearing the words "role models", Fatty Wu's heart trembled. He hurriedly wiped his cold sweat and nodded, "Yes, yes, this lowly official understands, this lowly official will do it now!"
After dismissing Wu Yuan, Gao Qiu spat, "What the hell! He's as fat as a meatball. That fat is probably from sucking the blood of the people. "
"Let's settle the score with him slowly." Lin Wanrong smiled and shook his head. He looked around and suddenly said, "Brother Gao, Fragrant Melody Restaurant is just ahead, let's go take a look."
Gao Qiu walked around Yunlian a few times and was considered familiar with the terrain. Hearing this, he led him into the crowd. After walking for a while. He saw an exquisitely decorated pavilion that looked like a painting. It was located in the middle of the bustling city. The surrounding crowd was bustling. It was extremely lively.
Lin Wanrong looked carefully. It was noon. Fragrant Melody Restaurant had no customers. There were hundreds of Black Miao muscular men walking around, looking around vigilantly. It looked like Fragrant Melody Restaurant had been booked by Zha Guo. Unrelated people could not get close at all.
It was noon. Suddenly, an eight-person sedan chair came from afar. Two squads of soldiers with swords and spears were charging in front, shouting to clear the way. The surrounding people were so frightened that they dodged. For a moment, chickens were flying and dogs were jumping, babies were crying. The city was in a mess.
He had already seen Nie Yuanqing's tyranny yesterday. It was even worse today. This Nie was obviously the local tyrant of Xuzhou prefecture! Lin Wanrong snorted angrily. His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
The area within a hundred steps of Fragrant Melody Restaurant had already been cleared. Leader Zha Guo held a hatchet. He walked ten steps. He rushed to the sedan chair and bowed respectfully, "Miao family's Zha Guo. Greetings, Lord! I wish you good fortune and good health. Riches and honor will last forever! "
"Leader is too polite." A clear laughter came from the sedan chair. The curtain was lifted. Zha Guo hurriedly helped the sedan chair. A middle-aged man with a white face and no beard walked out slowly. He wore a red official robe. He had a kind face. His face was like a full moon. A kind smile was plastered on his white and clean face. He cupped his fists in all directions. He seemed to be respectful.
This was that Nie Yuanqing? Lin Wanrong looked at him from afar. He could not help but sigh. What did it mean to not judge a book by its cover. Just look at this lord and you will know! If one did not know what this guy had done. Maybe someone would think he was the Maitreya Buddha!
Zha Guo was in front. He bowed and led the lord and the others into Fragrant Melody Restaurant. Hundreds of soldiers and Zha Guo's Black Miao guards. Layers of guards guarded the door. Occasionally, laughter could be heard from inside the building. The rest of the situation could not be seen.
"Brother Lin. What should we do now? "Gao Qiu asked carefully.
What else could they do? They walked around outside the building for a long time. They could not find a way to sneak in no matter how hard they thought. Lin Wanrong gritted his teeth, "Wait!"
This was the word 'wait'. It was not easy to endure. From midday to sunset. The two of them walked around the building for hundreds of times. From afar, they could hear the cheers from inside Fragrant Melody Restaurant. He and Gao Qiu could only sit outside and endure.
When the lanterns were lit. The door of Fragrant Melody Restaurant opened again. The white-faced Bodhisattva walked out slowly with a smile on his face. The man behind him, Zha Guo's face was glowing. He kept cupping his fists in greeting. His eyes were shining with joy.
"Look at the situation. I'm afraid they have succeeded! "Gao Qiu said softly.
I also know they have succeeded. But what did they talk about?! Lin Wanrong smiled helplessly.
Watching Nie Yuanqing's sedan chair go far away, Zha Guo and Zha Long also left. There were few people on the street. The two of them returned to the secluded house. After a while, they saw the fat man Wu Yuan come in, panting, "Prince Consort …"
Lin Wanrong suppressed the anxiety in his heart. He smiled, "Daren Wu is back?! Did you enjoy the lunch? "
"I deserve to die!" Wu Yuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed. He cried bitterly, "I have failed Daren's trust! That Zha Guo and Nie Yuanqing went into the room to talk. Their guards were very strict. I took the risk to get close, but I could only hear a few words! I deserve to die. I deserve to die! "
Lin Wanrong smiled. He helped him up, "Daren Wu is too serious. I already know what Zha Guo and Nie Yuanqing talked about. I'm only letting you go to verify it from the side! "
Nie Yuanqing also had a spy planted by the Prince Consort? Wu Yuan's heart trembled. The Prince Consort was really unfathomable!
"Daren Wu. Tell me what you heard. " The Prince Consort patted his shoulder and smiled, "Don't be afraid. Just say it. It doesn't matter if you make it up. Anyway, it is just evidence!"
Magistrate Wu kowtowed like pounding garlic, "I won't lie to you even if you beat me to death! I only heard a few words, such as' Saintess', 'Do it', 'Kill without mercy'. I didn't hear anything else! "
Do it? Kill without mercy? A cold light flashed in Lin Wanrong's eyes. Did this Smiling Buddha Nie Yuanqing want to kill at the Flower Mountain Festival? Was this guy so ruthless?!
He didn't make a sound. Gao Qiu knew that he was thinking and didn't dare to disturb him. He quietly took Wu Yuan away.
He didn't know how long he stood there. A breeze gradually rose in the courtyard, making his heart cold. When he looked up, the night was falling. He didn't know what time it was.
The Five Lotus Peak in the distance was high up in the clouds, like flower petals blooming in the night. He looked at it for a long time and silently shook his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "This fox sister is being bullied, but she still hides on the mountain and doesn't care. Does she want to become a fox spirit?!"
Before he finished his words, he felt a cold pain on his butt. He jumped up as if his tail was stepped on. He roared, "Who, who hit me?"
"Why don't you take a guess?!" A cold and charming voice suddenly rang in his ears!
