Under the moonlight, Xiao Chengyu stood at the door, watching Wang Gonggong walking towards the hillside not far away in a hurry, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

A lonely temple stands on the hillside. It is said to be a mountain temple left over from the previous dynasty. It lies at the foot of the majestic Baohua Temple. It is often overlooked. On weekdays, few people set foot in it, and there is no incense. It is very deserted. .

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Chengyu continued to clear the snow with the others calmly. During the break, he strolled into the small temple. The plum blossoms are in full bloom, reflecting the white snow, which looks extraordinarily enchanting.

In the main hall, green smoke billows from the incense burner in front of the statue, and an old monk sits cross-legged with his eyes closed, with a teapot and two cups in front of him, and the water in the pot beside him is boiling and steaming.

Xiao Chengyu went in, burned incense respectfully, sat cross-legged opposite the old monk, quietly looked at him, and saw that he had a childish face with white hair and a rosy complexion, like a fairy from other worlds.

After a while, the old monk opened his eyes and didn't look at him. He just got up and poured the water from the pot into the teapot. Xiao Chengyu smiled slightly, picked up the teapot, and filled the two empty cups.

The two didn't speak, but cooperated very tacitly, as if they were close friends who had been together for many years.

After three rounds of tea, the sun slanted in, and the lonely room had some warm colors.

"Although the benefactor came here on foot, his footsteps are slightly hesitant. People who hesitate in their footsteps must be confused." The old monk said slowly, "Most of the confusion in the world comes from the word loyalty. The best policy is to choose the lightest one, and the benefactor has drunk the old tea, so please go back!"

"Master, this junior has been in this mountain for several months, and his heart is as clear as a mirror to the world around him. I still hope that Master will make it happen." Xiao Chengyu hurriedly stood up and saluted.

"Everyone in the world is trapped by the word love. There are so many joys, anger, sorrows and joys." The old monk shook his head and sighed softly, "It is a blessing, not a disaster. It is a disaster that cannot be avoided. The plum blossoms behind the temple are in full bloom. If the benefactor has a good mood. You can go to see, although the mountain road is rough, but if you don’t take a detour, you can still walk to the end of the Meilin very quickly.”

"Thank you Master!" Xiao Chengyu's heart trembled, and he hurriedly got up to say goodbye. He went out and went around to the back of the temple.Sure enough, there is a large plum grove in the temple, although the plum blossoms are low.It is only half a person tall, but the flowers on the branches are in full bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, and the snow falls in the pistils, crystal clear.

Laughter came from the plum grove. It was a few court ladies who were collecting snow on the plum blossoms and saw Xiao Chengyu.Busily saluting, laughing and walking towards the depths of the Merlin.In a blink of an eye, there was no trace.

Only then did Xiao Chengyu realize that the plum blossoms in this plum grove were planted very irregularly, and the paths inside were intricate, criss-crossing like spiders. He frowned, remembering what the old monk said, and walked forward without looking at the road. At the end, a cave suddenly appeared. After passing through the cave, the road in front of him suddenly opened up. The snow on the road had melted, and the ground was wet, as if it had just rained. It turned out that the road behind the mountain was a shortcut.

He stepped on the mud and walked for half a cup of tea. Looking back, he was already outside the mountain!

At this time, there was a sound of horseshoes in front, and dozens of people on horses roared towards this side. Xiao Chengyu hurriedly hid behind the stone, and only continued to walk down the mountain road after the sound of horseshoes galloped by... .

In the morning, Longtan Village is still immersed in sleep. There is a light mist wrapped around the roofs, and the whole village is milky white.

In front of Xiao's house, there was a sound of messy hooves, and then there was the sound of someone jumping off the horse, knocking heavily on the door of the old house.

"Who is so noisy?" Xiao Jingzhi and Yang Shi had already got up, one was reading a book, the other was preparing to cook, when they heard the urgent knock on the door, they looked at each other.

Xiao Jingzhi put down his book, went out and opened the door, he opened the door and saw that there was a group of people in official uniforms, so he asked suspiciously: "Gentlemen, what are you doing?"

"Xiao Chengyu left without permission during the driving with him, and committed the crime of leaving without authorization, so we came to arrest him!" The leader said expressionlessly, "Is Xiao Chengyu at home? Let him come out, and you will be spared the crime of sitting. "

"This official, the dog is not at home and has not come back since he entered Beijing last year. How could he commit the crime of resigning without authorization?" Xiao Jingzhi asked puzzled.

Lin Xueman and Lin Xueyi heard this in the room here, got up and dressed in a hurry, and walked out the door suspiciously, seeing that the officers and soldiers had poured into the courtyard of the old house, searching randomly.

Yang stood in the yard with a blank face, watching those people quietly.

Those officers and soldiers searched and saw that there was no one in the house, so they pushed open the small wooden door and entered the new house.

Three rooms really couldn't hide a big living person, those officers and soldiers entered the room to have a look, then backed out, shaking their heads at the leader.

"This official, it snowed heavily a few days ago, and my husband was trapped in Baohua Temple. How could he leave the mountain and go home?" Lin Xueman asked suspiciously, did Xiao Chengyu come down from Lingluo Mountain alone?impossible!

"Hmph! So many people are trapped in Baohua Temple, but Master Xiao is missing. You said that a living person suddenly disappeared out of thin air. Didn't he leave the mountain privately?" The leader said coldly, "After Master Xiao disappeared , Princess Nalan sent people to search hard all night but failed, no one was alive, no dead body was found, how do you explain it?"

"Maybe he lost his way!" Lin Xueyi interrupted, "You should look for it! Why do you say he left without authorization?"

"Hmph! I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you here. Someone, take the Xiao family away and imprison them nearby. I don't believe Xiao Chengyu will not show up!" The leader waved his hand and said impatiently.

The guards rushed up behind them and surrounded them.

At this time, Xu Yougui hurried past the door and glanced in casually.

"You don't have any evidence to say that my son left the mountain privately, why arrest us?" Xiao Jingzhi met his gaze, understood, and shouted loudly.

"That's right, why did you arrest us?" Xiao Yun also came out of the house and stood beside her father and mother.

"Take it away!" The leader frowned, strode out, and said as he walked, "Don't let anyone go, take them all away."

"Yes!" Several guards responded and walked out.

"Officer, just take me away alone, please don't embarrass these women." Xiao Jing stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and shouted.

"Commander Wang..." A guard came over and whispered something in his ear.

"Go! Take them all away!" Commander Wang acted businesslike.

"Wait." Lin Xueman came over from there, stepped forward and said, "I am Xiao Chengyu's wife, you take me away, don't embarrass my family." Anyway, I can't get rid of it, and the family can take one less Is a!

"Sister." Lin Xueyi stepped forward to hold her arm, and said in a low voice, "You can't do it."

"Hmph! Don't bargain with me!" Commander Wang gave her a cold look, "We are just doing business, and we don't intend to embarrass you."

After a while, the guard who had gone out came in from the outside and whispered something in his ear. Commander Wang frowned and said, "Damn it, let them run away!"

Outside the door, someone was watching from a distance, something happened to the Xiao family again!

This time it's a big deal!

"What's the matter! Is there really a murder lawsuit?" Mrs. Du stood in the crowd, watching Xiao's family get into the carriage one after another, with a lonely look on her face, she exclaimed, "Why is the whole family arrested? Beheaded?"

"Beheaded?" The tofu family touched his neck subconsciously, but fortunately they resigned!Otherwise, my family will be unlucky too!A few days ago, Wang Dahai quarreled with her because of this matter, and she even regretted it for a while, but now it seems that it was wise to withdraw from the marriage at the beginning, otherwise, the person who was arrested today may be a member of her own family !

Thinking of this, she let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Mrs. Du gratefully. If it weren't for this woman, the Xiao family would have been kept in the dark about the death lawsuit!

"Fortunately, Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Chenghai ran fast, otherwise, there would not even be a body collector." Madam Du sighed.

"Shut your crow's mouth, how do you know that he's going to be cut, and then talk nonsense, be careful to flash your tongue." The man next to him reprimanded, "Okay, forget the pain from the scar, and let's see what you do if something happens again. tidy!"

"I'm just saying, why are you so serious." Madam Du rolled her eyes, looked at the man beside her, and said angrily, "The Xiao family is your ancestor! If I say something, you can answer it."

"Okay, stop arguing." Zhao Shun stood beside the two, dizzy from their quarreling, he glanced at them dissatisfied, "You two are going to quarrel and go home, dog eats dog. "

The two of them stopped angrily, turned around and walked towards the house, really, the village chief still took care of the couple quarreling, so he was free....

"Really, can you do something serious?" Zhao Shun said, striding towards the beach, he knew that Ma Haoxuan was training the fleet at the beach, and now that he is the prince, how can this matter be settled?

After all, it is a village, and the tipping off can still help.

"What? Even Ms. Lin was arrested? It's really unreasonable!" Hearing this, Ma Haoxuan couldn't help being furious. He got on his horse and hurried towards the post.

"Let me release everyone!" Ma Haoxuan entered the post angrily, looked at Commander Wang coldly, and said loudly, "Isn't it too arrogant to take people under my nose?"

"Your Highness, we are just doing business!" Commander Wang saw Ma Haoxuan, his expression turned serious, and he lowered his head, "If he releases him, I'm afraid he will have to ask Prince Rong for instructions. Please don't make things difficult for us servants, Your Highness."

"I'm just making things difficult for you today! I'll say it again, let him go." Ma Haoxuan said sharply.

"Haha, Brother Huang, why are you so angry? How is your fleet training?" Behind him, a cold voice suddenly came, it turned out to be Nalan Yunxuan!

Commander Wang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
