Chapter 17 Chapter Sixteen

Although Qilixiang has opened its doors, the business is still deserted. Xu Pingjun glanced around, saw no one around, leaned into Yun Ge's ear and whispered, "Are you done with your work? We're done, let's leave early today." Yun Ge asked in surprise: "Didn't elder brother tell us that he came to pick us up and go back together? Didn't he wait for elder brother?" Xu Pingjun blushed a little, and said in a low voice: "I want to see a doctor, but I haven't been here for a month, I suspect, I suspect..." Yun Ge frowned and thought for a while: "It's probably because your daily diet is a bit cold, so it shouldn't be a serious problem. Eat more warm food this month."

Xu Pingjun gave Yun Ge a light twist, "It's really stupid! I doubt I have it." Yun Ge still didn't react, and asked blankly, "What do you have?" Xu Pingjun rolled his eyes, the previous shyness had already been angered by Yun Ge to Java, "I have a child!" Yun Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly hugged Xu Pingjun, but immediately let go of her in fright, as if hugging her even tighter would hurt the child. Yun Ge carefully touched Xu Pingjun's abdomen, and said excitedly: "Brother will be so happy later. I'll find someone to find him right now."

Xu Pingjun took Yun Ge's hand: "I'm not sure yet, so I want to see the doctor first, and then tell the patient when I'm sure. Maybe it's just me having fun for nothing!" Yun Ge nodded: "Yes, then let's go now." When the doctor told Xu Pingjun that it was indeed Ximai, Xu Pingjun and Yun Ge were so happy that they couldn't even finish their sentence. Xu Pingjun, who has always been frugal, sealed some extra money for the doctor for the first time, saying "Thank you, thank you, thank you..." The young doctor felt embarrassed and said to Xu Pingjun: "You don't have to thank me, you don't need to thank me. If you want to thank me, you should thank your husband. This is not my credit."

An urgent sentence was another wrong sentence, the doctor blushed, but Xu Pingjun's "thank you" finally stopped. Yun Ge thumped the table and nearly fell down laughing. When Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun left the clinic, it was already dark. Both of them were very excited, Yun Ge said with a smile: "Okay, from today onwards, I will take full responsibility for your diet. It is best not to take anti-natal drugs, after all, the drugs are three-point poisonous, I will go back and read the book carefully, and let Meng Jue will diagnose your pulse, and I will definitely..." Yun Ge suddenly felt that the alley was unusually quiet, a bit of animal instinct made her immediately hold Xu Pingjun's arm and run, but it was too late.Several masked men surrounded them.

Yun Ge cared about Xu Pingjun, and immediately said: "Who do you want? No matter what your purpose is, just arresting me is enough." One person snorted slightly: "I want both." Xu Pingjun grabbed Yun Ge's hand, his body was shaking badly, "We have no money, we are just ordinary people." Yun Ge lightly held Xu Pingjun's hand, "We will follow you obediently, don't hurt us, otherwise the fish will die and the net will be broken, and we will be separated." The leader shrugged his shoulders, as if he was surprised that he had completed the task so easily, he waved his hands to the others, and ordered them to put Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun into a tightly covered carriage, and the group left in a hurry .

Xu Pingjun touched his abdomen and asked sadly, "Who are they?" Yun Ge shook his head: "You have no money, I have no money, you have no enemies, I have no enemies, this matter can only be asked to Meng Jue or elder brother. Sister, don't worry, they did not kill us on the spot, but took us away. It proves that we are using us to ask Meng Jue or Big Brother, if that is the case, don’t worry about it for the time being.” Xu Pingjun nodded helplessly, and leaned on Yunge's shoulder. Perhaps because of the child, Xu Pingjun is a little more delicate than usual.Yun Ge suddenly felt the responsibility of protecting the two of them.

Yun Ge suddenly touched the dagger that Meng Jue had given her that day, because this dagger was beautifully crafted, easy to carry, and very useful for cutting flowers and plants, so Yun Ge always carried it with her. Yun Ge whispered to Xu Pingjun: "Pretend to cry, don't be too loud, and don't be too soft." Although Xu Pingjun was puzzled, he always knew that Yun Gegui had the most ideas, so he whimpered and pretended to cry. Yun Ge pretended to persuade her, but his subordinates were busy, took out a dagger, lifted the blanket on the carriage, and carefully punched holes along the cracks in the wooden boards.

When a small hole was drilled, Yun Ge handed the dagger to Xu Pingjun, motioning for her to put it away. She took out several purses and opened one of them, which contained some peppercorns. She held the peppercorns carefully, and the peppercorns slid down the small holes one by one.But before the carriage stopped, the peppercorns had already been used up, so Yun Ge could only use all the usable things in his purse. Seeing that the carriage slowed down, Yun Ge immediately covered the blanket and hugged Xu Pingjun, as if they were crying with their heads in their arms. Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun were both covered in black cloth and taken off the carriage.

When he took off the black cloth, he was already in a room. Although it was simple, the bedding was complete, and food was delivered not long after. Yun Ge asked Xu Pingjun to rest quietly for the night first, to wait quietly for Meng Jue and Liu Bing to come to rescue them, and second, if Meng Jue and Liu Bing could not come in time and they needed to try to escape, they must have good physical strength . Xu Pingjun asked in a low voice: "Will your method work?" "I don't know. Let's see if Meng Jue and Big Brother can notice. We also hope that it won't rain tonight."

Xu Pingjun was originally restless, but seeing that Yun Ge was sleeping soundly, his heart calmed down, and he slowly fell asleep.When she fell asleep, Yun Ge opened his eyes instead, staring at the roof, frowning. Afraid of what to come, thinking about not raining, Yun Ge heard the sound of the wind gradually getting louder, and after a while, raindrops began to knock on the eaves. Yun Ge thought depressingly, is God going to play against me?God please, let us all be arrested!In a flash of thought, I dare not ask again, what if the good spirit does not work and the bad spirit does not work?Or self-reliance, rely on yourself!

Xu Pingjun was awakened by the sound of rain, and asked worriedly: "Yun Ge, can we really go home safely?" Yun Ge said with a smile: "Yes! Meng Jue and Big Brother should have noticed that we were missing a long time ago, maybe they have found the pepper I left behind, even if they can't find us directly, at least they have clues to trace us, and rain has its benefits , when it rains, the guards will relax, making it easier for us to escape." the second day. The rain is still falling endlessly, and the guards will not talk to them, but they will deliver meals on time. Yun Ge could see that these people were all trained people, not ordinary Jiang Hu people. She didn't know what these people were trying to do with them to blackmail Meng Jue and her eldest brother, but the little animal sense in her body made her feel the killing intent in the eyes of these people.They looked at her and Xu Pingjun like a wolf looks at a rabbit that has surrendered to its claws. I am afraid that no matter whether Meng Jue and his eldest brother did what they said, they would kill her and Xu Pingjun. Yun Ge was more inclined to wait for Meng Jue to save them, but now she knew she had to save herself. After finally getting dark, Yun Ge told Xu Pingjun to step back and carefully opened a buckskin purse. A spider the size of a baby's fist slowly crawled out of it. Yun Ge retreated quietly, only to see the spider crawling out of the window unhurriedly. Xu Pingjun asked in a low voice: "Is that thing poisonous?" Yun Ge nodded: "Two days ago I spent a lot of money to buy it from Hu merchants. It is poison but also good medicine. This kind of spider is called 'Black Widow', and occasionally feeds on male spiders. This spider is raised by humans. , in order to condense the poison in its body, the food since childhood is male spiders. When the guards came in to deliver meals in the afternoon, I put the powder ground by male spiders on the two guards. It has been hungry for two days at this time, and it will definitely smell And go, the rest is up to luck." Xu Pingjun quietly crouched by the door, nervously listening to the commotion outside. Yun Ge used a dagger to carefully cut open the quilt, and made a poncho for Xu Pingjun. The lining was all cut into cloth strips, tied into knots, and connected into a rope. Because it was raining heavily and the night was dark, except for the occasional patrolling guard passing by, everyone else was drinking and eating in the house. The two guarding Yunge and Xu Pingjun had to watch the night under the eaves, and they were so restless that they didn't pay attention to the danger of quietly crawling on the ground. When the black widow secretes poison, it will first secrete an anesthetic component to anesthetize the bitten prey. A guard rubbed his hands impatiently. One said in a low voice: "Be patient, I will do them tonight, maybe after a while, the boss will come to inform us." The two of them suddenly felt very sleepy, and one couldn't bear it any longer. He said "I'll sit for a while" and sat down by the door, and the other sat down too. After a while, both of them closed their eyes. Xu Pingjun gestured towards Yunge, Yunge nodded, and asked Xu Pingjun to rub garlic on his shoes first. "The black widow hates the smell of garlic. I don't know where it got into. It's better to be careful." When Xu Pingjun heard this, he immediately wiped a lot on his hands, face, and neck. Yun Ge smiled and covered Xu Pingjun with the rain cape she had made. Xu Pingjun knew that he had a child, so he didn't show any courtesy to Yunge, he just shook Yunge's hand firmly. Yun Ge took a dagger and carefully chipped off the part of the door where the lock was connected to the wooden board. As soon as the door was opened, the two guards immediately fell to the ground. Xu Pingjun took a big step back in horror: "Are they all dead?" "No, no, probably just fainted, sister Xu, hurry up." Yun Ge coaxed Xu Pingjun to step over the two corpses, handed the dagger to Xu Pingjun, and pointed to the direction he vaguely remembered: "Where are you going?" Run, I'll be right there." "And you?" "I'm going to camouflage this place and delay for some time, otherwise the patrolling people will look here and know that we have run away." Yun Ge suppressed the fear and closed the door, and stood the bodies of the two guards against the corner between the door frame and the wall.Looking at it from a distance, there is nothing unusual. When Yun Ge caught up with Xu Pingjun, his face was pale and his whole body was shaking. Xu Pingjun asked: "Yun Ge, what's wrong with you? Have you vomited?" Yun Ge shook his head: "I'm fine, let's run quickly, and try to stay away from here before they find out." The two of them bent their backs and ran desperately among the trees.After running for a while, he saw the high wall where the carriage stopped that day. Although Yun Ge's martial arts were poor, he could still climb over the tree with the help of a tree, but Xu Pingjun didn't have any skill at all. "I'll go up first and find a place to fix the rope." Yun Ge hurriedly climbed up the tree, and with the swing of the branches, he swung himself to the top of the wall.Insert the dagger completely into the wall, and tie the rope made of cloth strips to the handle of the dagger. Yun Ge lowered the rope, "Sister Xu, climb up quickly." Xu Pingjun looked at the high wall and shook his head, "I can't climb it." Yun Ge said anxiously: "Sister, you can climb up." Xu Pingjun still shook his head: "No! What if I fall down?" Yun Ge thought for a moment, jumped down, and squatted on the ground, "Sister Xu, you grabbed the rope and stepped on my shoulder. I slowly stood up, and when I stood up, your head was only two feet away from the wall. The distance is as high as a person, you can definitely climb up, and I will protect you below, and I will never let you fall." Xu Pingjun was still hesitating with his hands on his stomach, Yun Ge said: "Sister Xu, they will kill us, I feel it, so we must run away." Xu Pingjun gritted his teeth and stood on Yunge's shoulder. Being a mother is extraordinarily fragile, but also extraordinarily brave. Yun Ge stared at Xu Pingjun nervously from below. She saw Xu Pingjun's fear, and saw that Xu Pingjun was struggling with exhaustion when he was only halfway up the climb. Yun Ge stretched out his hand nervously, and kept saying, "One more point is coming soon, one more point is coming soon." Faintly heard voices and footsteps. Yun Ge couldn't look back, and couldn't climb up the wall, just stared at Xu Pingjun, encouraging Xu Pingjun to climb to the top of the wall over and over again. Xu Pingjun called: "Yun Ge, they are chasing you, you...you come up quickly, and leave me alone." Yun Ge scolded: "Xu Pingjun, I don't care about you. Who likes to care about you, a useless bastard? I care about the child in your stomach. If you still don't crawl, do you want to kill the child? Big brother will hate you!" your." Xu Pingjun heard voices and footsteps behind him getting closer.While crying, she thought of the child, and a surge of strength came into her body, allowing her to climb to the top of the wall. Yun Ge immediately said: "Pull the rope up and then slide down the rope, this is very simple, hurry up!" Xu Pingjun was condescending and had already seen a large group of people holding weapons. She cried and asked, "What about you? Come up quickly." Yun Ge pouted at her disdainfully: "I'll go another way. I have martial arts, without your burden, it's easy to get away. Get down quickly, don't be my burden!" After finishing speaking, she flew away out. The pursuers heard Yun Ge deliberately making a voice among the bushes, and immediately shouted: "Over there, over there." Xu Pingjun slid down the rope while crying. As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he immediately staggered and ran desperately, screaming frantically in his heart, "Where are you all, Bing Ji, Bing Ji, Meng Jue, Meng Jue? Where are you all?" The tears on his face, the rain in the sky, the dark night, Xu Pingjun was full of despair. It's all because she wants to see the doctor secretly, if it wasn't for her going to see the doctor, she wouldn't be arrested; it's all because of her burden, otherwise Yun Ge would have already escaped.It's all her fault! It was raining all over the sky, and it was dark all around. Xu Pingjun only knew how to run, but he didn't know how to escape from the darkness. Thinking of Yun Ge's situation at this time, Xu Pingjun couldn't suppress the sadness in his heart, and shouted at the sky: "I'm sick, I'm sick, where are you guys?" Unexpectedly, he heard: "Ping Jun, Ping Jun, is that you?" "It's me, it's me." Xu Pingjun shouted wildly, and in the heavy rain, several figures appeared in front of her.The moment she saw that Liu was sick, her body went limp. Liu Bing immediately hugged her, and she cried, "Go save Yun Ge, go quickly, go quickly, or it will be too late..." Meng Jue's face was pale, and he threw the awning on his body to Liu Bingji, and immediately disappeared into the rain. Liu Bing already looked at the direction where Meng Jue disappeared, then looked at the weak Xu Pingjun, stopped his body about to move, and said loudly to the rangers who came behind him: "The sick friend is still trapped inside. , Brothers, please cooperate with Brother Meng Jue to save people first." Someone flew away and asked with a smile: "After saving people, we will start killing people. I haven't served wine with human liver for a long time." Liu Bing laughed boldly and said: "Naturally! How can you not come back after enjoying yourself?" While bowing his head, his voice was already gentle: "I'll take you home first." Xu Pingjun shook his head: "I have to wait until Yunge is rescued before leaving. We came together, so naturally we should leave together." Liu Bing already asked: "Is your body able to take it?" Xu Pingjun forced a smile: "It's just some rain, I'm afraid, more afraid." Liu Bing didn't say any more, wrapped Xu Pingjun in Meng Jue's awning, hugged Xu Pingjun and chased the crowd away. Liu Bing had already protected Xu Pingjun and stood at a corner of the wall, overlooking the entire courtyard. Xu Pingjun only felt that he was suddenly in another world. Some are as fat as a water tank with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, some are as thin as a bamboo pole and vicious, some are charming as flowers, and some are scholars with neat crowns and robes, but all of them have extraordinary skills. Can instantly knock enemies down. There were two or three she knew, many more faces she had never seen before.Even those familiar faces now seem very strange. Xu Pingjun asked in a low voice: "Is this the legendary knight-errant who hides his whereabouts, the green forest hero who hates evil like a vengeful?" "Ok." "Are they all your friends?" "Ok." Xu Pingjun and Liu Bingji have known each other for a long time, although Liu Bingji's temper is sometimes a bit weird and a little incomprehensible, but she always feels that she still understands Liu Bingji. But now she is a little confused, does she really understand Liu Bingji? Liu Bing already has a heroic spirit in his eyes, but he reveals more of his aura of controlling the lives of the people and watching the world with disdain.Xu Pingjun suddenly felt that even though the Guangling King and Liu Bing he saw that day were compared, their aura was a lot worse. Seeing the long knife in He Xiaoqi's hand suddenly swinging, and a person's head flying up, Xu Pingjun couldn't help but exclaimed.It dawned on her that those who fell didn't just fall.Her stomach was churning and her body was shaking.Fortunately, Liu Bing had been holding her waist all the time, so he didn't fall down. Liu Bing already gently pressed her face to his shoulders, and covered everything outside with his cloak and hat: "Don't look at it, and don't think too much about it, these people are all bad guys and deserve what they deserve." Liu Bingji watched the increasingly bloody scene indifferently, not even with great interest, but just moved his eyes among the crowd, searching for familiar figures. When he saw the person in Meng Jue's arms, he breathed a sigh of relief, put his hand to his mouth with a smile, and whistled extremely loudly, followed by echoes one after another, followed by bloody massacre. Liu Bing had already hugged Xu Pingjun and fell off the wall, "Is Yun Ge injured?" Meng Jue shook her head, both amused and helpless: "It doesn't matter if there are some scratches. She frightened herself into a faint. She killed someone, probably the first time she killed someone. She was scared to death, but then The person was not completely dead, Yun Ge was grabbed by him when he was running, and she fainted when she saw that person looked like a ghost, fortunately Er Yue found her in time, otherwise..." "I've been to the cemetery with her before, and she's quite courageous, but I didn't expect..." Liu Bing shook his head and laughed, and the followers behind Meng Jue also laughed. At this moment, Xu Pingjun's high-hanging heart was relieved, and he laughed and cried and cursed: "I also said that I know martial arts, so that's how it is!" Just as he was talking, Liu Bingji's friends came out one after another, clasped fists at Liu Bingji, laughed and left. Xu Pingjun didn't dare to look at them, his eyes could only fall in Meng Jue's direction.Fortunately, Meng Jue's attendants are also like him, all of them have outstanding bearing, the female is like a lady of a great family, and the male is like a son of a family of poetry and books. Liu Bingji smiled and looked at the house where there was no living person: "This heavy rain will leave no trace." Meng Jue praised Liu Bing, "Happy to love and hate, Wang Faruo is free, the murder is gone, and the name is hidden. No wonder Sima Qian specially wrote biographies for assassins and rangers." The carriage has arrived, Er Yue raises the curtain and invites them to get on the carriage. After getting into the car, Meng Jue smiled and said to Xu Pingjun, "I'll take your pulse." Xu Pingjun blushed: "Brother Meng knows?" Meng Jue nodded with a smile: "I guessed what you were thinking, and knew that you would definitely want to tell him yourself, so I deliberately kept it from him for you." Liu Bingji asked with a smile: "What riddle are you two talking about?" Xu Pingjun lowered his head and stretched out his hand to Meng Jue. After Meng Jue finished the diagnosis, he smiled and said, "It's nothing. Although it rained a little and was a little frightened, you are in good health. Go back and get some medicines. Just take care of yourself." , but I can’t get rained again in the future, not every time I’m so lucky.” Xu Pingjun nodded in shock, "How did you find us?" Liu Bing already replied: "Thank you very much for Yunge's peppercorns. Pepper is a specialty of the Western Regions, and ordinary people have never seen it before. Except for Yunge, who else would throw such a precious seasoning around? Although we found it It's late, but it gave me a hint after all." Yun Ge has just woken up slowly, his eyes are still not open, and he is already shouting: "Don't grab me, don't grab me." Just as Xu Pingjun wanted to remind her with a smile, Meng Jue signaled her to be silent, grabbed Yun Ge's foot and asked with a smile, "Is that how you are being held?" Yun Ge's body was shaking, and her voice was also shaking: "Don't grab me, don't grab me, I didn't want to kill you, it was you who wanted to kill me first, I didn't want to kill you..." Meng Jue wanted to play tricks on Yun Ge, but only now did he realize that Yun Ge was really frightened, and he didn't dare to tease her anymore, so he patted her on the cheek: "Yun Ge, it's me." Yun Ge opened his eyes and saw Meng Jue, his fearful expression gradually disappeared, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly called Meng Jue: "Why are you here now? Why are you so stupid? I thought you were very smart! I killed you!" Three people... Woooo... I killed three people... I even touched their bodies, they were soft, still warm, not cold... Are there ghosts in the world? I used to think there was no, but now I I'm very scared... woo woo..." Yun Ge cried while crying in Meng Jue's arms. Meng Jue gently shook Yun Ge, and coaxed in her ear: "I know, I don't blame you, I don't blame you, these lives are all on my shoulders, and the King of Hades won't charge them to your account." Xu Pingjun turned his head in embarrassment, Liu Bing had already raised a corner of the curtain, and moved his gaze out of the window. After Yun Ge cried out all the fear after the first murder, she gradually calmed down.When he found someone else in the carriage, he blushed immediately, pinched Meng Jue forcefully, glared at him, and blamed him for not reminding himself. Meng Jue took a breath of air with a smile, and grabbed Yun Ge's hand to prevent her from moving. Yun Ge smiled and glanced at Liu who was already sick, and looked at Xu Pingjun, Xu Pingjun shook his head with a smile. Yun Ge looked at Liu Bingji and smiled furtively, Liu Bingji frowned, "What are you keeping from me?" Yun Ge suppressed his giggles, and asked ferociously: "Sister Xu and I suffered an unreasonable disaster because of one of you?" Liu Bing had already helped Xu Pingjun straighten the crooked cushion behind her, with his arms crossed in front of his chest, he lay lazily on his side beside Xu Pingjun, and said with a smile: "It's nothing to do with me, just ask our eldest son Meng." !" Meng Jue apologized first to Xu Pingjun, and then to Liu Bingji, "Yan Wang is a dog in a poor alley, and wants to use the two of you to coerce me to help him assassinate Huo Guang." Yun Ge asked puzzledly: "Then it's fine to arrest me, why are you still arresting sister Xu?" Meng Jue had already guessed the reason.King Yan had seen him with Xu Pingjun before, but he deliberately confused King Yan's sight because of selfishness, and did not expect that Yun Ge would run in front of King Yan later.Although Xu Pingjun had already married someone else, King Yan arrested both Yun Ge and Xu Pingjun to ensure everything was safe. Although Meng Jue knew it in his heart, he could only say: "Probably the two of you happened to be together, so I was afraid of leaking the news, so I simply arrested both of you." Yun Ge asked: "Assassinating Huo Guang is not as good as assassinating King Yan. King Yan is no longer important, but Huo Guang can cover the sky with one hand. What are you going to do?" Meng Jue and Liu Bing had already looked at each other, and Meng Jue said: "After I discussed with Bing, I went to see Huo Guang directly and told Huo Guang that King Yan wanted to use my strength to assassinate him. I will cooperate with Lord Huo to do my best." Let King Yan give up stubborn resistance as soon as possible, and try to find out where you are when you are sick. After receiving a letter from Feige in the afternoon, King Yan has committed suicide in fear of crime." Meng Jue confessed the death of a vassal king lightly. "Ah?" Yun Ge was very shocked: "King Yan doesn't seem like someone who would commit suicide, he's more like someone who would fight to the death even if he dies. If one enemy dies, he'll be evened; if two enemies die, he'll earn money." Besides. Didn’t the emperor order him to die? Why did he kill himself? If you are not reconciled, just start beating, if you want to survive, just confess your sins, and then continue to live with good food and drink.” Meng Jue and Liu Bing had crossed their gazes. Meng Jue said with a smile, "The emperor's army has already approached the city. King Yan probably committed suicide because his dream of being an emperor was broken. He couldn't figure it out for a while. Yun Ge, you want to do so much?" What? It has nothing to do with you." Yun Ge snorted: "It doesn't matter? It doesn't matter? What am I doing tonight..." He felt uncomfortable again.Meng Jue held her hand: "It's all over, I promise there will be no such thing in the future." Yun Ge forced a smile at Meng Jue: "I don't blame you." Meng Jue smiled lightly, but there was a bit of distress in her eyes: "I blame myself." Xu Pingjun coughed a few times: "I have goose bumps all over my arms." Yun Ge immediately blushed, closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep: "I'm sleepy, let's sleep for a while." Even though he had taken the tranquilizing medicine prepared by Meng Jue, Yunge still couldn't get rid of the shadow of the first murder. At night, he was often awakened by nightmares. Both Meng Jue and Yun Ge are people who don't care about the world, seeing Yun Ge like this, Meng Jue simply comes to accompany Yun Ge every night. The two fell asleep behind the curtain.Although Yun Ge cannot stop having nightmares for a while, at least when Yun Ge has nightmares, someone wakes her up from the nightmares and drives away her fear. After Liu Bing knew the news of Xu Pingjun's pregnancy, he was both sad and happy, but he hid his sadness on his face, only showing his expectation for a new life. I bought wood to make a cradle for the baby in the yard, and I plan to make another small wooden horse. He didn't allow Xu Pingjun to work any longer, and took over all the housework, Yunge was in charge of cooking, washing dishes, laundry, fetching water, and brewing wine became his work. Xu Pingjun nagged: "Let others see you as a big man washing his wife's clothes, they should laugh at you." Liu Bingji said with a smile: "Is it not related to washing clothes or not, besides, it's my business how to love my wife, and it has nothing to do with others?" Xu Pingjun felt unspeakably sweet in his heart, often Liu Bing had already made a cradle in the yard, and she was making clothes for the baby beside him. The sun shines into the yard through the shade of trees, which is beautiful and bright. She was tired from doing it, and when she looked up, she could see Liu Bingji who was bending over to chop wood, and she couldn't help but feel a trance-like feeling of happiness. From childhood to adulthood, in the days and months of struggling, she always looked forward to realizing this wish and that wish.For the first time, she longed for time to stop at this moment with satisfaction. Putting her hand gently on her abdomen, she said in her heart: "Baby, before you were born, many people love you, you are happier than mother! No matter you are a boy or a girl, both father and mother will love you very much. You will There is an aunt who loves you very much, and there will be a very capable uncle in the future." Early in the morning, Meng Jue went out, and came back before noon, asking Yun Ge to accompany him outside the city. Meng Jue didn't use the coachman, he drove Yun Ge out of Chang'an by himself. Yun Ge sat beside him, muttering non-stop, talking about her food, a poem she read, and her family.When talking about being happy, she would laugh up and down by herself, and when talking about being unhappy, she would frown, as if someone owed her money. Meng Jue just listened quietly, smiling lightly, her expression didn't fluctuate with Yun Ge's talking and laughing.But he would hand Yunge a water bag to signal Yunge to drink water; he would also cover Yunge's head with a bamboo hat when the sun was high; hand, holding Yun Ge's arm in case she fell off the carriage. It wasn't until the carriage stopped in front of a manor that Yun Ge realized that Meng Jue didn't take her out for fun. The word "Green Garden" was written on the door plaque. Although the garden was well maintained, it was obvious that every plant, every tree, every corridor and every pillar was quite old. Yun Ge asked in a low voice, "Whose garden is this?" Meng Jue held Yun Ge's shoulder with a solemn expression: "Yun Ge, do you still remember the uncle I brought you to meet last time?" Yun Ge nodded. "This is also his property. Uncle Feng's condition is getting worse, and there is nothing Yao Shi can do. Today may be the last time I see him. After a while, no matter what Uncle Feng says to you, don't go against his will." Yun Ge nodded vigorously: "I understand." Meng Jue took Yun Ge's hand, and led her around the winding corridor, and soon came to a bamboo house. Meng Jue motioned Yun Ge to wait outside, and he picked up the curtain to go in first. When he reached the back room, he walked quickly a few steps, knelt down in front of the couch, "Xiao Jue came to plead guilty to Uncle Feng." A servant came to help Lu Feng sit up, and after putting down the cushion, he quietly backed out. Lu Feng stared at Meng Jue for a long while without saying a word.Meng Jue also didn't say a word, just knelt quietly. Lu Feng seemed a little tired, closed his eyes, and sighed, "Instigating King Yan's rebellion, intensifying the conflict between Shangguan Jie and Huo Guang, the damned are dead, and now Huo Guang controls the government alone, are you satisfied? Xiao Jue, you Your heart is really big, no wonder Master Jiu refuses to hand over the property of the Western Regions to you." Lu Feng heard the voice of the woman talking to the boy outside the house, "Who did you bring? Yun Ge?" Meng Jue replied, "It's Yun Ge. I didn't dare to let her in because I was afraid that my uncle would be sick and unwilling to see guests." Lu Feng interrupted him, and said angrily, "Don't you dare? Stop pretending to be confused with me and ask Yun Ge to come in." After Yun Ge came in, seeing Meng Jue kneeling in front of the couch, she also immediately stepped forward and knelt down.Although the person on the couch had a sallow complexion, his eyes were still sharp, and he didn't look like an ordinary patient. He was extremely clean and tidy. Lu Feng looked at Yun Ge and smiled: "Girl, I am not related to you, why do you kneel to me?" Yun Ge blushed and stole a glance at Meng Jue, although she lowered her head, her tone was very calm: "You are Meng Jue's elder, if Meng Jue kneels to you, naturally I should kneel to you too." Lu Feng smiled and nodded: "Good boy, are you planning to follow Xiao Jue?" Yun Ge shook his head: "No." Both Lu Feng and Meng Jue were startled, Meng Jue looked sideways at Yun Ge, Yun Ge smiled at him, and said to Lu Feng, "It's not me following him, nor is he following me, it's us together, it's after we walk together way." Lu Feng laughed loudly: "It's really jade... and... daughter..." Halfway through speaking, Lu Feng coughed violently. Meng Jue hurriedly helped him to beat his back, and wanted to check his pulse. Lu Feng waved his hand, "Don't bother , that’s it, let’s laugh a few more times while I can.” Lu Feng looked at Meng Jue, then at Yun Ge, took out a black iron plate from under the pillow, and handed it to Yun Ge. Yun Ge hesitated, and reached out to take it. Lu Feng smiled and said to Yun Ge: "Yun Ge, if Xiao Jue bullies you in the future, you can use this Juzi order to ask the law enforcement officers for help." Yun Ge said: "Juzi's order? I seem to have seen it somewhere. Ah! Mozi, Mohist apprentices must obey Juzi's order." Lu Feng said: "Although I am not a Mohist apprentice, I admire Mozi very much, so the organization of law enforcement officers is indeed modeled after the Mohist organization. Although there are not many people, they all have extraordinary skills. They are usually ordinary craftsmen, but once Juzi orders, he will go through fire and water, and he will do whatever he wants. Because when doing business, subordinates often betray their conscience for profit, so law enforcement officers are set up to supervise and execute subordinates who violate the rules. Chang'an and Chang'an are often uneasy. You take Here, keep you safe!" Yun Ge handed the Juzi order back to Lu Feng: "I don't need this." Lu Feng said gently: "Yun Ge, this is the elder's wish, please accept it obediently." Yun Ge still wanted to refuse, but remembered Meng Jue's previous advice, these words were probably Lu Feng's last wish.Although Yun Ge and Lu Feng have only met twice, but because Lu Feng is very kind to her, and he is Meng Jue's uncle, Yun Ge has already regarded Lu Feng as his elder, and now that he heard Lu Feng say this, he could no longer refuse, He could only accept Juzi Order, "Thank you, Uncle Feng." Lu Feng stared at Yun Ge, "I'm very happy to see you and Meng Jue together. It's a pity that Jiu..." There seemed to be tears in Lu Feng's eyes, "Yun Ge, you go out first, uncle still has something to say to Xiao Jue." Yun Ge kowtowed and left the room. Lu Feng said to Meng Jue: "In the future, all the industries in the territory of the Han Dynasty will be yours, and you can control them." Meng Jue leaned over and kowtowed, "Thank you uncle." Lu Feng said with a straight face, "One is because your surname is Meng, the other is because of Yun Ge, and the third is because we are both men, and I was once young. Xiaojue..." Lu Feng half-closed his eyes, thinking about what to say, In the end, he just stretched out his hand and patted Meng Jue's shoulder, "You have been with Master Jiu for many years, so you must have been affected to some extent. Since I have decided to leave it to you, I don't need to talk nonsense." Lu Feng closed his eyes: "Go back! Xiao Jue, you don't need to visit me anymore. I will probably leave Chang'an later today, and I always miss the places I walked when I was young, and I always want to travel again when I have time. But it has been delayed until now, and I hope I still have time to go and see Xiao Dian and Xiao Lei." The boy came in and helped Lu Feng lie down. After Meng Jue kowtowed three times, he got up and left the room. The moment he lifted the bamboo curtain, he heard a low voice from inside the room, "Don't miss it again." Meng Jue's hand stopped for a moment, then gently lowered the bamboo curtain, and walked towards the person waiting for him in the corridor, "Yun Ge." Yun Ge immediately ran over, and Meng Jue smiled and took Yun Ge's hand. They didn't have a deep relationship with Lu Feng, and when they said goodbye, Lu Feng was in good spirits, so there wasn't much sadness, but the mood of the two of them was still very gloomy. Meng Jue held Yun Ge's hand, instead of going down the mountain, he climbed up the mountain instead. The two climbed to the top of the mountain in one breath.Looking down at the mountains at the foot, looking at the endless blue sky, the depression in my heart dissipated a little. The wind on the top of the mountain was so strong that it made Yunge stagger to the ground.Yun Ge stood facing the wind, and couldn't help feeling a little cold, and was about to find a place with a little wind, but Meng Jue had already pulled her into his arms, turned around, blocked the wind for her, and bent her head by Yun Ge's ear Question: "Did someone just say that they are willing to marry someone? In the future, you can tell your children, 'It was your mother who chased your father and shouted that she wanted to marry'." Yun Ge was generous to Lu Feng just now, but now she was only with Meng Jue, but she was so ashamed that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to drill into. After being mocked by Meng Jue, she immediately became angry from embarrassment and struggled to push Meng Jue away, " Who is chasing you? What you said just now is according to Uncle Feng's will, it doesn't count." Meng Jue's arm didn't loosen, but hugged it even tighter, "Okay, what happened just now doesn't count. Let's do it again, Yun Ge, will you marry me?" 云歌立即安静了下来，恍恍惚惚地竟想起了很多年前的一个夜晚，有人在星空下和她说：“我收下了。云歌，你也一定要记住！”“以星辰为盟，绝无悔改。” “云歌，你愿意嫁给我吗？”孟珏抬起了云歌的头，他的眼睛里有微不可察的紧张。 昨夜的星辰，只是儿时梦。今日眼前的人，才是她的良人。 云歌笑低下了头，轻声说：“你去问我爹，我爹说可以就可以。” 孟珏笑着打趣：“这话的言外之意就是'我已经说可以了'？” 云歌没有吭声，孟珏轻挑起了云歌的下巴，在孟珏的唇亲到云歌的脸颊时，云歌闭上了眼睛。 苍茫的高山顶，野风呼呼地吹。 不知道是孟珏无意碰落了发簪，还是狂野的风，云歌的发髻松散在风中，青丝随着风声起舞，轻打着她的脸。 孟珏以手为簪，将乌发缠绕到手上，替云歌绾住了一头的发，而云歌的发也缠缠绕绕地绾住了他的手，孟珏笑咬着云歌的唇喃喃说：“绾发结同心。” 面颊是冷的，唇却是热的。 云歌分不清是梦是真，好似看到满山遍野火红的杜鹃花一瞬间从山头直开到了山尾，然后燃烧，在呼呼的风声中噼啪作响。 云歌这几日常常干着干着活，就抿着嘴直笑，或者手里还拿着一把菜，人却呆呆地出神，半日都一动不动，满面潮红，似喜似羞，不知道想些什么。 许平君推开云歌的院门，看到云歌端着个盆子，站在水缸旁愣愣出神。 许平君凑到云歌身旁，笑嘲着问云歌：“你和孟大哥是不是私定了终身？” 云歌红着脸一笑：“就不告诉你！” 许平君哈哈笑着去挠云歌痒痒：“看你说不说？” 云歌一面笑着躲，一面撩着盆子里的水去泼许平君，其实次次都落了空。 两人正在笑闹，不料有人从院子外进来，云歌泼出去的水，没有浇到许平君身上，却浇到了来人身上。 云歌的“对不起”刚出口，看清楚是霍成君，反倒愣在了当地，不知道该说什么。 许平君立即警惕地站到了云歌身旁，一副和云歌同仇敌忾的样子。 霍成君的丫鬟在院门外探了下头，看到自家小姐被泼湿，立即冲着云歌骂：“你要死了？居然敢泼我家小姐……” 霍成君抹了把脸上的水，冷声说：“我命你在外面守着，你不看着外面，反倒往里看？” 丫鬟立即缩回了脑袋：“奴婢该死！” 因为来者是霍成君，是霍光的女儿，云歌不愿许平君牵扯进来，笑对许平君说：“许姐姐，你先回去，我和霍小姐说会话。” 许平君犹豫了下，慢慢走出了院子。 云歌递了帕子给霍成君，霍成君没有接，脸若寒霜地看着云歌，只是脸上未干的水痕像泪水，把她的气势削弱了几分。 云歌收回帕子，咬了咬唇说：“你救过我一命，我还没有谢过你。” 霍成君微微笑着说：“不但没有谢，还恩将仇报。” 云歌几分无奈：“你找我什么事情？” 霍成君盯着云歌仔细地看，仿佛要看出云歌究竟哪里比她好。 她有美丽的容貌，有尊贵的身份，还有视她为掌上明珠的父亲。 她一直以为她的人生肯定会富贵幸福，可这段日子，姐姐和上官兰的惨死，让她从梦里惊醒。 作为霍光的女儿，她已经模模糊糊地看到了自己的未来。可她不甘心。她知道她生来就是属于富贵的人，她已经享受惯了荣华富贵的日子，她不可能放弃她的姓氏和姓氏带给她的一切，可她又不甘心如她的姐姐一般只是霍氏家族荣耀下的一颗棋子，婚姻只是政治利益的结合，她既想要一个能依然让她继续过高高在上生活的人，又不想放弃内心的感觉。而孟珏是她唯一可能的幸福，孟珏有能力保护自己和保护她。她绝不想做第二个姐姐，或者上官兰。 云歌被霍成君盯得毛骨悚然，小小地退开几步，干笑着问：“霍小姐？” 霍成君深吸了口气，尽力笑得如往常一般雍容：“孟珏是一个心很高、也很大的人，其实他行事比我哥哥更像父亲，这大概也是父亲很喜欢他的原因。孟珏以后想走的路，你根本帮不上他。你除了菜做得不错外，还有什么优点？闯祸，让他替你清理烂摊子？云歌，你应该离开长安。” 云歌笑着做了个送客的姿势，“霍小姐请回。我何时走何时来，不烦你操心。汉朝的皇帝又没有下旨说不准我来长安。” 霍成君笑得胸有成竹：“因为我的姓氏是霍，所以我说的任何话都自然可以做到。只希望你日后别纠缠不休，给彼此留几分颜面。” 院门外传来刘病已的声音，似乎刘病已想进，却被霍成君的丫鬟拦在门外。 刘病已扬声叫：“云歌？” 云歌立即答应了一声，“大哥。” 霍成君笑摇摇头，几分轻蔑：“我今日只是想仔细看看你，就把你们紧张成这样，如果我真有什么举动，你们该如何？我走了。” 她和刘病已擦肩而过，本高傲如凤凰，可碰上刘病已好似散漫随意的眼神，心中却不禁一颤，傲慢和轻蔑都收敛了几分。霍成君自己都无法明白为何一再对这个衣着寒酸的男子让步。 “云歌？”刘病已试探地问。 云歌的笑容依旧灿烂，显然未受霍成君影响，“我没事。” 刘病已放下心来：“你倒是不妄自菲薄，换成是你许姐姐，现在肯定胡思乱想了。” 云歌做了个鬼脸，笑问：“大哥是说我脸皮厚吧？一只小山雉居然在凤凰面前都不知道自惭形秽。” 刘病已在云歌脑门上敲了下：“云歌，你只需记住，男人喜欢一个女子，和她的身份、地位、权势、财富没有任何关系。” 云歌笑点了点头。
