Chapter 28 Chapter 9 Starry Night Banquet

Brother Long! Long Ying recognized the sound of Feng Guoting and slowed down.Feng Guoting came to him and said: "Why did Sanzhen Miaozi come to you?"Do you want to pay for the loss? Long Ying walked side by side with him, and said: Today, I spent three liang of my gold to accompany Renya and the others to eat, drink and have fun. If this continues, the family wealth will be wiped out soon, and I will become a pauper. If I die, I will pay his grandma.ha!How is it such a coincidence? Feng Guoting smiled and said: "My home is in the Chengfufang in the back. To Rushi Garden, this bridge is the only way to pass. I should ask you why you come and go here?"

After Longying explained, Feng Guoting said: I usually look down on Junchen the most, but now I hope he can show his talents and extract useful information from that population. While admiring the bustling scene of people coming and going in Luohe District, Long Ying said: We will see the resolution of this matter tomorrow.Hey!With you accompanying me for being late, it will be difficult for Min to blame my younger brother. Feng Guoting said: As long as the sun has not risen, it is not considered late, because as usual, Min Xuanqing's garden tour banquet is held all night long. Longying was startled, and said: Don't you need to sleep?

Feng Guoting smiled and said: Don't go if you want to sleep.Do you and Min Xuanqing have further development? Long Ying smiled wryly and said: I have been so busy these days, I only slept for an hour last night, and I don't know how much time I can spend to sleep tonight.If things go on like this, there will definitely be half of life left, so what development can we have with her? Feng Guoting said: You are a fan of the authorities.I used to inquire about the military situation for you, and asked her directly, Min Nuguan smiled and said nothing, but as long as you are not blind, you can tell that she has a great affection for you.Otherwise, according to her usual style, why would she say a few words every now and then.

Long Ying said: I forgot to ask you, did you receive the post from Wu Sansi? Feng Guoting snorted coldly: How could you miss me?Ren Yu is also on the list of invitations, and like you, I have also been labeled as one of Di Renjie's party. Long Ying said: "Isn't it possible!"The relationship between Wu Sansi and me is unprecedentedly good at present, Zhang's kunzhong showed me a friendly gesture, and even that bastard Wu Chengsi sent Junchen to find out the way for my younger brother to fix it. Feng Guoting said: Wu Sansi was used by Wu Chengsi and Er Zhang, and they reconciled with you as a show to show the saint, hiding a knife in a smile, you are still young in the gods, and you will soon get used to it.

Longying laughed and said: So it's so interesting.To miles!my mother!There are so many people. If the gate of the garden was opened wide, more than a dozen carriages drove in in a queue, three or four horses galloped past the two of them, and one of them turned around to greet them, all of them were going to the banquet. Feng Guoting said: "Master Min is of course full of charm, and he called Bai Nuo."Tonight, you, a big celebrity, are helping out again. Who doesn't want to see the demeanor of Master Ying? Long Ying originally wanted to find a place to close his eyes after entering the park, but he smiled wryly at the words.

Longying never thought that Rushiyuan could become like this.I can't help but remember the two words that the fat father-in-law said when we first met: I'm afraid you have never dreamed of the luxury and lust of the rich and powerful life. Nearly a thousand colored lanterns floating freely on the surface of the lake alone have already dazzled and amazed people.Red gauze lanterns are hung on the verandas along the lake, like red ribbons around the lake.The array of courtyards are brightly lit, while the connected gardens are slightly illuminated, making the distribution of lights scattered and orderly, and the movement and stillness are different, making it a spectacle.

Hundreds of guests are scattered in the winding corridors, pavilions, gardens and courtyards, without feeling crowded, and without hearing the noise of noise, and even some people go boating on the lake in twos and threes, leisurely and freehand, and the sound of orchestral strings and bamboos comes from nowhere.The space around the lake in the courtyard is looming, like the sound of nature descending from the starry sky to the earth. Going along the road is even more dizzying.It's as if countless beauties emerged all at once, all of them beautiful and beautiful, with fragrant clothes and shadows on the temples, painted with fat and powder, and embellished with pearls and emerald flowers. Under the lake breeze, the colorful clothes and embroidered skirts fluttered in the wind, just like immortals descending from the earth.

As soon as the two of them entered Rushi Garden, they immediately attracted the attention of the ladies, and they came forward to make friends one after another. They dealt with it very hard, and finally broke into the promenade around the lake, and walked towards Min Nuguan's courtyard. Along the way, the two of them received so many winks and smelled so many fragrances, they felt that flowers are not intoxicating and everyone is intoxicated.Arriving at the Linhu platform, Feng Guoting was intercepted by an acquaintance.Before the other party knew who he was, Long Ying ran away in a hurry.I was about to report to Min Xuanqing, then fled the scene, and went back to the Yang Palace to comfort my wife. Before I entered the building, I was stopped by two glamorous beauties. The fragrant scene of giving and hugging.

Long Ying took a look, it turned out that Liu Mei and Liu Xiang were the seven beauties, they were beautifully dressed, yet delicate and elegant, no wonder he couldn't recognize them. The two women took his sleeves from left to right, pulled him aside, left a fragrance and said: "Looking forward to the arrival of Master Ying!" Among the girls, Liumei was the youngest, her pretty face was blushing, and her beautiful eyes suddenly turned red, so frightened that Long Ying hurriedly leaned over to kiss her face, and coaxed: Don't cry!Show me the smile! Embarrassed, Liumei raised her sleeves to wipe her tears, and then smiled sweetly, as if the clouds opened to see the moon, shining brightly on the earth.

Liu Xiang tugged at his sleeve, and said in disbelief, "Where's he? Long Ying also scented her face, leaving the fragrance to turn anger into joy, full of maiden tenderness and gentleness, it made Long Ying realize for the first time how precious he was to give away generously, and said: "In such a chaotic situation, how did Master Min choose a husband for you?" ? Liu Xiang smiled and said: Master Ying is really interesting.Long before the banquet, Tiannv let the selected candidates meet with our seven sisters, and they were very enthusiastic! Longying was surprised and said: The selected one?

Liu Meidao: The goddess set the conditions, first of all she must be single and unmarried, other character, style and integrity must meet her standards, and the last and most important is to pass the test of Bailao. Seeing Long Ying's confused look, Liu Xiang explained: "Bai Lao is very famous in the gods. He is the third disciple of Li Chunfeng, the master of alchemy, and he is proficient in physiognomy." Long Ying sighed: Now I am really relieved. Liu Mei smiled and said: "It's all about Ying Ye. The funniest thing is that the heavenly girl told them that our seven sisters are your righteous sisters. If anyone dares to bully us, Ying Ye will ask them to settle the score."whee! Longying remembered that Princess Taiping said that he was a bully in the city of gods. Although he has a bad reputation, in some cases bad things can turn into good things, and he acts as a threat. Min Xuanqing's silver bell-like laughter blew over like a gust of wind, and said: So Master Ying slipped here.Then he said to the two women: "Go back quickly!"Many people are looking for the two of you who are tearing down houses and breaking walls. Reluctantly, Liumei and Liuxiang went back to the courtyard. Min Xuanqing dragged him to the depths of the garden, stepping on the gravel road, Longying said: "You don't need to greet guests, Min?" Min Xuanqing took his arm lightly instead, and said: There are so many people, which one should I greet?Youxi Zizi said: The first meeting was very successful, everyone was fascinated, and the losers would beat their chests and feet for three days and three nights when they returned home.so fun! Passing through a dense bamboo forest, the garden lake reappears in front of it, and there is a small pier with three small boats moored.Min Xuanqing lightly jumped into a boat and sat in the middle of the boat. Only then did Long Ying realize that the Merry Queen wanted to go boating with her on the lake, so she hurriedly untied the rope and rowed, and headed towards the small lake where there was no one there, meeting floating lanterns from time to time, turning left and right.Listening to the music and people's voices from the shore, the lake breeze blowing gently, and facing a beautiful woman with a unique style, there is a sense of peace and harmony that has left the world for a while. Min Xuanqing stared at him with beautiful eyes, and said with spring on his lips: Your little witch is here! Longying smiled wryly and said: My little witch?How could the little witch be mine?The next sentence in my mind is that she belongs to Shendu. Min Xuanqing said: Ming people don't do dark things.Who publicly gave the little witch a promise of love?Who can't see that the little witch and the star of the mountain are inseparable?Who can't see both of you and ride out of town? Long Ying wondered: Everyone, Min is jealous? Min Xuanqing raised his slender hand, separated his index finger and thumb a little, and said with a charming face: There is such a little bit! Long Ying watched her withdraw her slender hand in disbelief, speechless. Min Xuanqing gave him a wink and said, "Where is Master Ying's masculinity?" Long Ying said: At that time, Princess Taiping also received the gift! Min Xuanqing said: "Two birds with one arrow!"If I go on, it's even more self-deprecating! Long Ying felt that it was difficult to speak well of her in this regard, and said, "Has everyone, Min, fallen in love with my younger brother?" Min Xuanqing then compared the weight with his index finger and thumb, and it was a little less than before, and said softly with fragrant lips: There is also a little bit like this. Long Ying's heart was so teased by her that it turned into a ball of burning coals, and he let out a sigh of relief: "It seems that if I don't show some tricks, everyone, Min, won't be honest." Min Xuanqing smiled and said: It depends on what great tricks Master Ying has! Long Ying laughed and said: It turns out that flirting with Master Min is so fascinating.Huh!What kind of signal is that? Min Xuanqing looked away, surprised and said: That is the signal to summon Xuanqing, what's the hurry? A green wind lantern on the far shore lights up and goes out according to a certain rhythm. Long Ying said: What should I do? Min Xuanqing said: "I'm so mad!"I'm looking for someone at this time, shake it over to see what's going on? The boat was parked next to the small pier, Lu Shifu came up to meet him, with a serious expression on his face, he leaned into Longying's ear and said: The Holy Majesty is looking for you! Long Ying was startled, and came to Min Xuanqing who was standing beside him, and said in a low voice: "There is an urgent matter, little brother must leave immediately." Min Xuanqing said lightly: "Xuanqing doesn't follow me!"Unless you promise to spend more time with Xuanqing tomorrow, I won't let you go.Her expression is calm and unwavering, like an ordinary conversation, but the content is fragrant and beautiful, full of affection, clearly she is coquettish and flattering to her lover, the allure formed by the combination of contradictions can turn any stubborn iron into twisted fingers soft. Long Ying almost couldn't restrain himself from hugging her into his arms, and finally learned her daring to love and hate, so he coaxed her: Obey the order! With a firm heart, he turned around and hurried towards the main gate with Lu Shifu, saying: "What's the matter?" Lu Shifu lowered his voice and said: "If someone asks me, I would rather die than say a word, but of course Yingye asked me, of course I dare not hide it. If the Holy Majesty didn't tell me, Yingye must have never heard of it." Long Ying assured: "Brother Lu is at ease and speaks directly, and the younger brother will treat it as if Brother Lu didn't say a word." Lu Shifu said: "The Holy Majesty ordered that if any suspects are found, they must be reported to her immediately."So after Master Ying handed over the guy captured in Beishi to our hands, I knew that the matter was of great importance, so I escorted him back to the criminal arrest room, and at the same time sent people to report to the Holy Lord. Afraid of running into acquaintances, the two left the promenade around the lake and chose paths in the garden. Long Ying said in astonishment: "Forcing a confession so quickly?"Is it because of the adults? Lu Shifu showed a strange expression, and said: "It is true that my lord has been notified that he is leaning against the red and green trees in the female temple, and he even scolded the person I sent to invite him back to the criminal arrest room, so he went back to the criminal arrest room. Come on, my lord." In this mood, we all know that the guy who was arrested will suffer.Little did he know that the lord Lai was preparing for a big torture, but the sage came.This is the first time that the holy car has visited in person since the criminal arrest room was established. Long Ying thought to himself that Wu Zhao was really angry with Dajiang Lian, but he still couldn't guess what happened. Lu Shifu still had lingering fear and said, "The Holy Majesty drove us all out of the execution room, including Mr. Lai." A chill came to Longying's heart, and Wu Zhao actually personally interrogated the confession. The two stepped out of the gate, and two small boats were moored at the pier, and two experts from the criminal arrest room were waiting. Lu Shifu said: "In less than half an hour, the Holy Majesty came out of the execution room and ordered me to go find you and meet her at Xintan Pier." Long Ying jumped onto the boat, and said to Lu Shifu who was on the other boat: "Where's that guy?" Lu Shifu showed an unbearable look, and said: The whole head collapsed, not a single bone in the body was intact. Long Ying gasped and was speechless. The speedboat leaves the pier. The speedboat berths at Xintan Pier. Xintan Wharf is the general name for the hundreds of large and small docks and berths in the most extensive inner lake in the city of God. There were more than 2,000 people moored at anchor. Some of the lights were on, and people's voices could be heard. It must be that there are still people working hard on the ship. .There are many shadows of sails and little lights. Compared with the busy and hot situation during the day, it has the flavor of a bustling metropolis. This is also an area where hotels and inns are concentrated. Although there are no scenes of cars coming and going, deliveries and pick-ups, there is still a constant flow of people. The one who greeted Long Ying was Ling Yu, who didn't follow anyone and gestured to Lu Shifu.The latter leads another boat away, while Ling Yu motions for Long Ying to follow him, mysteriously. Long Ying didn't say a word, and followed him to a row of more than 30 cooked food stalls that are usually semi-outdoor. These stalls are only open during the day, and the tables and chairs are placed straight out of the covered stalls. famous feature.Now the tables outside the canopy were all put away, and it was pitch black. The entire pool area did not see anything unusual. Ling Yu led Long Ying to enter one of the tents, and said in a respectful low voice: Lord Ying is here! Great Zhou empress Wu Zhao sat at one of the round tables, facing the pier, with a cold face and a slight nod of her head to show she knew.Wu Chengchuan, the commander of the imperial guards, was sitting on her right side. Seeing him sitting on pins and needles, he knew that he was not used to sitting on an equal footing with Wu Zhao. Longying was affected by the atmosphere like a bowstring being pulled tightly, and he dared not speak. Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes focused on the front, and said in a deep voice: "Everything is going according to plan." Wu Chengchuan stood up and bowed in response, leading Ling Yu to go. Wu Zhao said: Sit down! Long Ying moved to the round table, and was about to take a seat two chairs away, on her left, when Wu Zhao said: Come to me. Long Ying had no choice but to sit on the chair on her left. Wu Zhao still didn't look at him, and said: I was upset that I didn't see you after the inner court meeting, but it was because you dared to disobey my order.For you to capture this person, can I still blame you? Long Ying hurriedly said: "The sage asked Xiaomin to go to Zhenguan Hall, just casually talking, as if seeing or not is no big deal, so Xiaomin dared to wait for a long time and made up his mind to leave."ha!If the Holy Majesty really ordered it, how dare the little people not listen to the Holy Majesty? Wu Zhao said in a tone of resignation: Only you dare to say that you don't need to listen to what I say casually.Finally turned the dragon's head to look at him, and said with a smile: "Is our Lord Ying falling in love with Guolao's favorite jewel, so he is secretly protecting the little witch?" Longying felt her relaxed mood.He laughed and said: "How can Xiaomin bear the nickname of Xiaomin called by the Holy Majesty?"ha!Although the running water is intentional, the falling flowers are ruthless, and the little witch and the little people are in the nature of games.No matter how daring Xiaomin is, he doesn't dare to look like a rich countryman.ha! Wu Zhao couldn't help but smile and said: Those who believe in you are idiots.Be careful if I punish you for deceiving the emperor, if I can't cure you, I will vent my anger on Wan'er to see if you still dare to treat me like nothing. Long Ying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. The little people are loyal to His Majesty, and His Majesty is aware of it."well!The Holy Majesty's move was so loud that Xiaomin couldn't resist it. Wu Zhao smiled sweetly and said, "Who told you to be merciful and open up everywhere?"When Wan'er mentioned you earlier, her eyes rolled wildly and she couldn't help showing a shy expression. What evil deeds did you do to her? Long Ying smiled wryly and said: After lightly touching her cherry lips, Xiaomin has absolutely no other misdeeds. Wu Zhao stood up, and Longying was so frightened that he hurriedly stood up. Wu Zhao said lightly: Undress for me! Long Ying lost his voice: What?
