Outside the pavilion on the side of the ancient road, several riders were standing under a tree.
Yang Fan stood opposite to Gu Zhuting and said in a low voice, "You must speed up the journey. The earlier we set up the plan, the more advantageous it will be for our future situation."
"Ah Lang, rest assured. This slave understands!" Gu Zhuting subconsciously touched her belt. The things that Yang Fan had written for her were right there. She had read them carefully and memorized seventy to eighty percent of them. Along the way, she wanted to memorize everything on the paper in her mind and then destroy the real thing.
"A small careless mistake could lead to a complete defeat. You must be careful!" Ah Lang said. She kept his words firmly in mind.
Yang Fan took a deep look at the woman who had already dressed up as a man. She had only changed into men's clothes, but her appearance remained the same. Her pink lips were moist and bright like a pair of red and tender cherries. Yang Fan suddenly opened his arms and gave her a full hug, whispering softly in her ear, "Be careful!"
Yang Fan's hug stunned Gu Zhuting. His breath gently blew into her ear, making her feel limp and numb. Seeing this scene, the three Gu brothers not far away were also dumbfounded. It turned out that … it really was … Heavens!
When Yang Fan gently let go of Gu Zhuting, she was still standing there in a daze. Just because of this hug, her lips trembled and she couldn't say a word. Her pretty face was flushed red because of surprise and excitement. Only her pair of eyes were bright black like the stars.
Yang Fan smiled and softly said, "Let's hit the road. Take care!"
Yang Fan was well aware of Gu Zhuting's state of mind. She was apprehensive and flattered. Just think about it, she was originally just a dispensable pawn under this Sect Master, running errands for him at all times. Even if she died, she would be insignificant in this person's eyes. But suddenly, she had become his woman …
She was originally a subordinate of Yang Fan, a slave whose soul and body belonged to him. When Yang Fan made a promise to her, she was pleasantly surprised and thought of herself as Yang Fan's woman. But in terms of mentality, she was still half subordinate and half slave. She didn't dare to ask for more.
Yang Fan had long sensed her mentality, but he didn't say anything. Words couldn't solve the problem. He could only slowly change her mentality through his attitude and actions. Until one day, she saw him as her man, not a benefactor and a noble.
The group of four on horseback quickly disappeared on the road west to Chang 'an. Yang Fan watched them disappear before returning to Luoyang under the protection of Ren Wei and the others.
An hour later, Yang Fan appeared in the south of Luoyang.
Yang Fan jumped over the wall and quietly appeared in front of Miss Ning Ke's grave without disturbing the boat maiden. On the grave, there was a blade of grass that had just sprouted, swaying gently in the wind. Yang Fan walked over, bent down to pull out the blade of grass, scooped up a handful of soil from the ground, and sprinkled it on the grave piously.
The drooping osmanthus leaves gently caressed his shoulder, but he remained motionless. After a long time, Yang Fan sat down in front of the grave, hugged his knees, and leaned against the tombstone beside him. His lips and teeth kept moving, as if he was saying something. His expression was sometimes smiling, sometimes sad. But his soft voice could not be heard by anyone except Ning Ke.
The wind blew and fluttered the two ribbons behind his hair net, which rose and fell, playfully slapping the back of his neck. The osmanthus flowers fell like snow, sprinkling on his shoulders and feet …
…
In a very elegant courtyard, there were vines all over the walls, pine and cypress bonsai in the middle, and countless exotic flowers and plants around. Near the window, there was a small pool like the crescent moon, in which several golden carps were swimming under the water lilies.
The room was very spacious, divided into different functional spaces by screens. In the largest space, there was a painting of Three Friends in Winter, a painting of Fishing in the Misty Rain, and a few large characters hanging on the snow-white wall.
Next to the window, there was a desk made of sour twig wood, on which were all kinds of famous calligraphies and a few precious inkstones. More than ten fine weasel bristles were inserted in the brush pot. On the desk, there was a celadon vase with several blooming chrysanthemums. Next to the wall, there were a few bookshelves carved by famous artists of different heights.
This was a study, but the scholar in the study was not reading. Beauty could only be found outside of books.
A beautiful young girl with half-fallen hair and disheveled clothes rested her hands on the desk. Her breasts, which were like two small jade bowls, swayed gently in her half-opened green silk gown. It was a very seductive sight. Her pomegranate skirt was lifted up, piled up at her slender waist, and her white, tight, but still narrow buttocks were raised high in the air.
A young boy with a hint of childishness on his lips was dressed neatly, but his pants were pulled down to his legs. His hands were clamped on the slender and soft waist of the young girl, who was squinting her seductively. He gritted his teeth and bumped into her from behind.
"Princess! The Princess has arrived! "
Suddenly, there was a cry of surprise in the courtyard, and a green-clothed attendant turned over and bowed in surprise.
Princess Taiping's face was as calm as water, and she hurriedly walked past him. Her golden embroidered skirt with colorful phoenixes and red peonies swayed on the ground like water, and the golden phoenix hairpin on her head did not move at all, as if she was walking on water. Behind her, there were a few fat female sumo wrestlers, and each of them had a fierce look on their faces.
"My mother is here?"
In the room, the handsome young boy, who was sprinting with all his might and was about to climb to the top of the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss, was so scared that his face turned pale. The young girl, who was squeaking on the table, suddenly opened her beautiful eyes wide, and her face was filled with horror.
"Open the door!"
Princess Taiping pushed the door of the study room and saw that it was closed. She immediately retreated two steps. A fat woman walked up and grabbed the door with both hands. She shook the door and suddenly exhaled loudly. She exerted her strength and pulled the door outward. With a rumbling sound, the entire door was torn down along with the door frame.
A burst of dust flew, and when the dust slightly dispersed, Princess Taiping stepped over a few fallen bricks and walked into the room. In the room, a man and a woman with messy clothes were kneeling on the ground like quails, and their bodies were trembling.
Princess Taiping looked coldly at the man and woman kneeling in front of her, and said in a cold voice: "Chong Xun, you are really well-read! Every time I test you, you know nothing about poetry, and you talk nonsense on policy. I thought you were talented, but it turns out that your talent is used on this kind of thing! "
The one kneeling in front of Princess Taiping was her second son, Xue Chong Xun. After Princess Taiping remarried Wu Youji, her two sons did not change their surnames. Fortunately, they did not change their surnames. Otherwise, if Xue Chong Xun changed his name to Wu Chong Xun, he would have the same name as Wu Sansi's eldest son, Wu Chong Xun, who married Princess Anle.
Xue Chong Xun kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said with a trembling voice: "I know I am wrong, I know I am wrong, mother, please calm down."
Princess Taiping waved her big sleeves, and said in a stern voice: "Come, drag this shameless lowly maid who seduced the young master out, and beat her to death!"
Ever since Princess Taiping came in, the beautiful maid in emerald green gown was scared into a pile of meat paste. Other than trembling, she could not spit out even half a word. Now that she heard it, she was so scared that her liver felt like it was going to explode. She did not even have the time to cry out "Princess, please spare my life" when a fat female sumo wrestler rushed up and grabbed her hair, and dragged her out like a dead dog.
Xue Chong Xun was shocked, he heavily kowtowed to the ground, and repeatedly said: "Mother, please have mercy, spare Ah Li! Mother, Mother! "
Princess Taiping sneered, turned around and walked away, only leaving behind a cold sentence: "Drag this unfilial son out for me, 20 lashes!"
The few female sumo servants obeyed Princess Taiping's orders, even if it was the young master's order, they did not hesitate. Two more people rushed forward to pick up Xue Chong Xun and left. In the courtyard, the little errand boy knelt on the ground with his forehead touching the ground, his buttocks raised high, he did not dare to raise his head. Princess Taiping walked past him like floating clouds and flowing water, without stopping for even a step.
The little errand boy saw the red dress floating in front of him like a cloud from the corner of his eyes. He had just heaved a sigh of relief when Princess Taiping lightly threw down a sentence from the cloud, smashing him into the eighteenth level of hell: "Beat this lowly servant who is guarding the door and helping the master to do evil, to death for me!"
…
When the steward of the Princess's Mansion, Li Yi, saw Princess Taiping, he immediately bowed to the side of the road. Princess Taiping walked past him like a gust of wind. Li Yi lowered his head and hurriedly followed behind. Princess Taiping was still angry and asked: "What's the matter?"
Li Yi was very well-informed, as soon as Princess Taiping went to the study room, he knew that the second young master did not study hard, but fooled around with a pretty maid instead. In fact, he already knew about this matter, but he did not mention it. His master was so smart, he did not know that he already knew about it, so he vented his anger on him.
Li Yi was even more careful, he did not even dare to breathe loudly as he said: "Loyal General Yang Fan requests to see you!"
Princess Taiping suddenly stopped, paused for a moment and said: "Invite him to see me at the Xingxiu Hall!"
In the Xingxiu Hall, as soon as Yang Fan saw Princess Taiping's expression, he laughed and said: "The Emperor has just acquiesced in Princess's meddling in political affairs, Princess has already shown your majesty."
Princess Taiping's anger had not subsided yet, so she frowned slightly. Yang Fan's words made her burst out laughing. She could not help but say coquettishly: "You deliberately came to make fun of me, didn't you? What majesty? Isn't it because of Chong Xun, that unfilial son? Ai! All day long he does not study hard, he only does those shameful things like fighting cocks and raising dogs, stealing women and stealing jade. "
Yang Fan said with a smile: "Your son was born with a noble title and does not have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life. What are you afraid of? Don't tell me you still expect him to pass the exams and come back as the top scholar?"
Princess Taiping rolled her eyes at him and said: "It's easy for you to say. As a parent, even if we can leave an inexhaustible mountain of gold for our son, we still hope that he can have his own ability."
Yang Fan was also a father. Hearing these words, he deeply felt the same way. He no longer teased her and said seriously: "It's inevitable that the son of a rich family will be a bit of a playboy. You should not be too strict. Take your time. As long as he has a good character, the rest is not important. "
Princess Taiping was still remorseful in her heart, but she also knew that because Chong Xun's father died early, she spoiled him too much when he was young and neglected to discipline him. Now that his temperament had matured, it would be difficult to correct him. She could only sigh bitterly and put aside her depressed thoughts. Her bright eyes glanced at Yang Fan and said: "Erlang, did you come here for the matter of moving the capital?"
