C284 (1/2)
After the group left, the small back garden immediately became deserted.
Under the bright moonlight, the bright torches were no longer there. Only the lamps that had been lit were left, which could only drive away a part of the darkness.
The lotus flower pond reflected the light of the candle flame and the silvery white moon.
Amidst the silence, one could clearly hear the sound of a carp slapping its tail against the water from the Lotus Pond and the cries of a frog from the depths of the lotus flowers.
In the silence, a faint noise came from the northwest corner of the garden. It sounded like something had landed on the tiles, but the sound disappeared after a short while.
If it wasn't for the garden being too quiet, they definitely wouldn't have heard this faint sound.
After that soft clear sound, a white figure appeared in the pavilion in the middle of the lotus flower pond.
The person who came was none other than Feng Yi who had been hiding in a corner all this time.
The food on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion was already cold. Standing beside the stone table, Feng Yi looked at the leftover snacks on the table and could not help but smile.
On the stone table, there was still a cup of wine that Chu Yunge had not finished drinking. Smelling the alluring aroma of the wine, Feng Yi could not help but take a sip of the remaining wine from Chu Yunge. His white, jade-like fingers held onto the cup as he held it in his hands.
”It really is a good wine.”
After drinking it, Feng Yi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. With a wave of his long sleeve, he threw the wine cup into the lotus pond beside the pavilion.
”Pavilion Master!”
When the small white wine cup sank into the water, a man wearing a gown and a silk scarf came running in from the front gate of the back garden.
”Where did he go?” Without even lifting his head, Feng Yi knew that the person who had come was the Moon Pavilion's Vice Pavilion Master, Bai Lian.
”Pavilion Master, the scouts have come to report that they have already suppressed the princess and passed through the Eight Corner Tower. In another fifteen minutes, they will arrive at the southern city gates of the Great Liang City.” Bai Lian said in a clear voice, ”Don't be sad here. I see that the princess is clever with her words, how much did she hurt Master Shang Shu just now? If you're worried, quickly fly over and follow. ”
”I see that you are getting bolder and bolder, you dare to tease me? If you meet a person you love one day, you will know that as long as she disappears from your side, even if it's only for a few short days, that feeling will still make you worry about her and feel like you're living a life of years. ” Feng Yi turned to look at Bai Lian, his elegant robe fluttering in the wind.
”Forget it. I even met someone I love.”
When Bai Lian mentioned this kind of thing, Bai Lian looked at Feng Yi with displeasure, ”You are the crown prince of the Feng Lai Kingdom, in the past, you still wanted to take into account your country's affairs and manage the country's affairs. I understood you, that's why I helped you manage the Moon Pavilion and did so many things. But now? Not only are you not your Crown Prince anymore, you are always hanging out with Chu Yunge, and sometimes you will just have to help her save her parents and fight those people at Worryfree Hall. In a little while, I will have to go to the Miao Dynasty just for her brother. In the Miao Dynasty, there are those poor people. I will have to get three thousand loads of food and quilts in a short day. ”Do you think I'm some sort of immortal? If I hadn't been prepared, I would have opened a division there too. Even if you killed me, I wouldn't have been able to take out that much material.”
”Yeah, I know you are better than Zhuge and good at planning. Isn't this the same as asking you to come out of the mountain and help me take care of the Moon Pavilion?” It was rare for Feng Yi to be together with Bai Lian, so when he heard how Bai Lian was complaining, he felt really good about it.
”If it weren't for the fact that we are all from the same sect, I wouldn't even bother to care about you. ”I am only responsible for helping you take care of those matters in the martial arts world. As for the matters regarding the imperial power and the power struggle, don't drag me down.” Bai Lian's beautiful scholar's face was filled with complaints, but he continued to speak like a cannonball: ”I know that Chu Yunge is your fiancee, and a woman who has already been intimate with you, but you have already helped her a lot. Since you have already helped her parents to regain control of their Great Chu Kingdom and also healed her brother, then you should get married honestly. ”How can I let her continue fooling around in the martial arts world?”
”She is not fooling around. She has her reasons for everything she does, and I quite agree with her. ” Seeing his own junior brother complaining to Chu Yunge like that, Feng Yi couldn't help but explain to him, ”I know that in your eyes, she is indeed not a quiet princess, and is rather reckless. But her nature was kind, and she knew what to do and what not to do. Everything she sat on right now, wasn't only for herself, nor was it just for her Great Chu Kingdom. It was for the entire world. Could it be that he really did not care about looking for the treasures of the Murong Dynasty? Let the treasures be buried deep in the mountains, waiting for Baili Lan to find all the maps? ”
”That's not what I meant. I did not say that Chu Yunge's search for the treasure was wrong. I mean, she's looking for the treasure, so why create so much trouble? Not only did she kill the Prefect of Dazhou City and the Grand Master, she even disguised herself as a messenger eunuch to cheat the army's salary. I really don't understand why she did that. ”
