Chapter 122: peony

Li Chaoge was not surprised at this name. She nodded and said, “I heard that your cousin and cousin are good at planting flowers, especially peonies. What’s the matter?”

Song Wen was slightly surprised when he heard this. He thought these public men came for Liniang, but this girl asked Peony in one mouth, and knew the situation of Yang Hua’s family well. Now Think about it, her question just now was full of purpose and sex.

Their goal turned out to be their cousin and cousin?

With some caution, Song Wenwei nodded: “Really? My cousin is obsessed with peony flowers, and later I met my cousin. They have similar interests and have the same mind, so they can be called immortal couples. It’s a pity… …”

Li Chaoge’s eyes? His eyes moved, and he glanced at Gu Mingke calmly?: “What a pity?”

Song Wen sighed for a long time and said, “It’s a long story. Two adults, please come in and listen.”

Li Chaoge had nothing to do, Song Wen led the way, Liniang went in to pack the tea, didn’t Li Chaoge? Immediately, she walked up to Gu Mingke and asked, “What is Shaoqing thinking? Since just now, Shaoqing has not spoken. Does Shaoqing dislike me? Annoying me?”

What did he say? After speaking, Gu Mingke sighed softly and said, “No?.”

“Then? Good.” Li Chaoge said leisurely, “I thought that Shaoqing didn’t want to accompany me? Listen to the case? Now I want to leave.”

In fact, Gu Mingke really thinks like this, but when he was told by Li Chaoge, he would appear to be very unfeeling when he said goodbye. Gu Mingke helplessly said, “Okay, I? I will listen to you with you.”

Song Wen and Liniang cleaned up the living room, Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke took their seats, and the others sat next to them. Liniang had tea, and then she went to take care of the children inside.

Xiao Mudan seemed extremely afraid of Gu Mingke. Gu Mingke was trembling all over when she just entered the house.

Song Wen apologized: “I’m sorry, the little girl is afraid of life, and made all the adults laugh.”

Li Chaoge shook his head and said, “It’s okay. He? Is always cold and indifferent? In fact, he is not malicious. If you continue to say, it is?”

Gu Mingke raised his eyes and glanced at her? “I asked you about your case? Don’t talk nonsense.”

When Song Wen heard this, he felt something was wrong. His eyes quickly swept across Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that these two people had a head and a tail. In fact, Song Wen wanted to ask when he entered the door just now. As a colleague, the distance between them is too close, saying that there are people who believe in husbands and wives. At this time, Song Wen sensed that the incense on Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke were the same. Song Wen consciously spied the privacy of the upper layers, and stopped quickly, not daring to think again.

Song Wen settled down, and continued: “How did my cousin and cousin meet me? I don’t know, it’s just that one day, my family suddenly received an invitation from my cousin, saying that he’s going to get married. I’m going to participate. Cousin’s wedding banquet, I saw that my cousin was extremely considerate to a beautiful woman. My cousin was not very good at doing housework. My cousin took care of all of them. I was very concerned. I had suspected that my cousin was. What a ghost turned into, staying with my cousin and plotting misfortunes, and then I met Liniang…”

Song Wen laughed at himself when he talked about it. After he looked towards the screen, Liniang seemed to feel what he felt, and looked back at Song Wen. Song Wen looked at his beloved wife and daughter, and said: “As long as it’s the love of the heart, is it? People are? Demon? What’s wrong. But? At that time, I was young and ignorant. I have hidden realgar, peach wood swords and other things in the house, but my cousin has no response at all. I have lived in my cousin’s house for a few days, and I am gradually moved by my cousin’s feelings, so I no longer guard against my cousin. I went home with my parents. Later, I received a letter from my cousin, saying that he and my cousin felt that the village was too noisy and decided to move to a clean and uninhabited land to live in seclusion. Finally, they went to Pingshan, I? In my free time, I have been to Pingshan twice and found that my cousin and my cousin are very affectionate. My cousin is farming and the cousin is weaving. They have a great time. I’m relieved, right after my father. Mother died, I am busy making a living, haven’t I visited my cousin for a long time. When I finally vacated and planned to take Liniang to meet my cousin’s cousin, I found that there was no one in the small courtyard of Pingshan. The cousin and cousin are missing. The black dog that the cousin has raised for many years is gone.”

After hearing this, Bai Qianhe couldn’t help asking: “Is it? Didn’t it? Encountered a bandit?”

Although the secluded place is clean, but because of the inaccessibility of people, it is easy to attract thieves. Song Wen slowly shook his head: “I thought I had encountered a bandit at first, but I have checked the yard, and there are no traces of the check in the house, no valuables have been lost, and there are still on the ground. ?The sieve that fell suddenly? It’s not like being ransacked by bandits, it’s more like? Something happened and the cousin and cousin were arrested in an instant.”

Li Chaoge moved his eyebrows and asked, “How do you know him? They were arrested? What if they were in danger and moved urgently?”

“Impossible.” Song Wen flatly vetoed it. After he finished speaking, he realized that his tone was too urgent, took a deep breath, and said, “I am emotionally excited, two adults forgive me. Cousin and cousin plan to take Children? They still have small clothes for the children in their house. If they really want to move, why would they throw away their children’s clothes?”

At this time Liniang answered in a low voice in the room: “The girl shouldn’t have a child yet, and can’t understand the feelings of being a parent. If I am in danger, don’t say run away, as long as I have a breath of life. ? Never give up my daughter.”

Li Chaoge really doesn’t have a child, so he can’t understand this topic. Bai Qianhe was drinking tea. Hearing this, he joked: “It turns out that the commander also made mistakes in judgment. It’s okay. After another two years, the commander and Gu Shaoqing have children?, both You can understand it.”

Li Chaoge was stunned, she quickly glanced at Gu Mingke, then turned around and glared at Bai Qianhe: “Shut up. If I say more, I will take you to the soup.”

Bai Qianhe aggrievedly shrank behind Zhou Shao, and Li Chaoge glanced at Gu Mingke again, embarrassed to the point of embarrassment. She tried to pretend to be calm, and said, “He? Always? You don’t mind making jokes like this.”

Gu Mingke looked calm, he nodded and said, “There is no child in the house. It’s normal for you to understand.”

Li Chaoge had already adjusted, so it was even more embarrassing to be said by him. Behind him, Bai Qianhe showed an “Oh” expression? Li Chaoge didn’t look back, and he could imagine how lively those people’s expressions were.

Is this? No? The child? The problem? Let’s not talk about Li Chaoge at all? Have you ever thought about having children? Just talk about Li Chaoge’s current husband? Gu Mingke, if there is a child in the house, who does he plan to have?

Song Wen glanced over Gu Mingke and Li Chaoge. Both of them have outstanding appearance and temperament. Although they are dressed in official uniforms, they can clearly see that their family background is very different from that of the followers behind them. Song Wen had been suspicious before, but now with Bai Qianhe’s confirmation, he has implemented it more and more.

Song Wen smiled and said: “The two adults are really a husband and wife, and both of them are a dragon and a phoenix. The child born must be extraordinary. I wish the two grow old together and give birth to a beautiful son.”

Li Chaoge was silent, she didn’t know how the topic was distorted like this?. Gu Mingke nodded and agreed.

He is calm and graceful, even if he hears a topic like a child, he is calm and elegant.

It’s as if the person who was openly snatched and agreed to get married? Isn’t the person? He?

Li Chaoge was obstructed. She held back for a long time. Seeing others? Everyone was watching quietly. She couldn’t bear it and said with a cold face: “Don’t chat during official business. You continue to say, what happened after Yang Hua and Mudan disappeared?”

Song Wen seemed to hesitate a bit, he paused, and said, “Later, I found a letter with my cousin’s cousin’s sister-in-law. Cousin…”

Gu Mingke looked down and said nothing, the dog was lying outside the door, staring at them vigilantly. Hearing Song Wen’s words, the dog seemed to have feelings, purring in a low voice.

Li Chaoge looked at Song Wen, and Song Wen was so flustered by the look that he couldn’t help avoiding his sight. Li Chaoge slowly said: “I think you have good intentions in your husband and wife, and have never hurt others. That’s why I opened the door. If you lied, I might have to change my mind.”

Song Wen panicked suddenly, raised his head and shouted no, then he was discouraged, and said, “It’s not? I? I saw it in the letter. I was raised by my cousin? What the little flower spirit said?.”

Bai Qianhe heard this and forgot the password Li Chaoge gave him. He was so surprised that his tone changed: “Flower essence?”

Isn’t this? A love? Story? Why do demons and ghosts come out again?

Li Chaoge? Know. She asked: “What flower essence?”

“I don’t know.” Song Wen shook his head, “Among them? One of them looks like a vine.”

Li Chaoge is basically sure, the black dog monster, the vine spirit, there is nothing wrong with it, it is the monster she encountered when she left the black forest. Li Chaoge probably had some guesses about what happened to Pingshan back then, but? Yes? She didn’t show it, but continued to question, “Isn’t your cousin? Human, why is there a stranger at home?”

“I haven’t had any contact with my cousin for many years, and I don’t know what the cousin is doing.” Song Wen seemed to be a little hard to tell. “The cousin… is indeed not a person, but she is not a monster, but? Fairy.”

The next few people gasped, never expected that the story would rush in a strange direction. Mo Linlang has been quiet and quiet, and couldn’t help but ask: “Fairy?”

“Yes?.” Song Wen hesitated at first, but after he said it, his words became smoother and smoother. “At first I was also surprised, but the two in the cousin’s courtyard? A little flower spirit said that they were originally ordinary flowers. They were taken care of by Peony Fairy. They absorbed the celestial energy day and night, and then gradually became wise. They also said that the cousin came back as usual that day, and the cousin was wiping sweat on the cousin. Suddenly, the sky was surging, and a group of heavenly soldiers appeared, indiscriminately? They wanted to arrest the cousin. The cousin wanted to protect the cousin from fleeing and stop the heavenly soldiers. Cold. I don’t know when a person stood on the clouds. That person is cold and merciless? He didn’t say a word. It’s strange? Yes? My cousin didn’t dare to say a word when I saw this person. Tied back to the sky.”

Bai Qianhe sighed and asked, “What about your cousin?”

Song Wen depressed: “I was taken away together, and never came back since then.”

The people in the room uttered high and low sighs, a good love story, and were beaten up by mandarin ducks abruptly. Ma Linlang is a little girl with delicate and sensitive emotions, and sighed: “So there are real immortals in this world. But, Peony Fairy? Didn’t do anything to harm the world, nor did he use the fairy law to help Yang Huamou. Lee, why did the heavenly soldiers catch her?”

“I don’t know.” Song Wen also shook his head, “But those two? The little flower spirit said that when the heavenly soldiers came to grab the cousin, they said that it is a big mistake for the immortal to move the mortal heart. Be punished with dignity by Bei Chentian.”

Li Chaoge immediately caught the name?: “Beichen Tianzun?”

“It seems to be? This name?” Song Wen scratched his hair and said, “I don’t know who this is? But? Look? The reaction of the cousin and the heavenly soldiers, they seem to be. I am extremely afraid of this person.”

Ma Linlang was confused and unbearable: “Why?”

Song Wen replied: “According to those heavenly soldiers and generals? It seems that immortals are not allowed to move their hearts. It is wrong to love others.”

Not only Ma Linlang, but the other guys? He also sighed, Zhou Shao kept silent, and said at this moment: “Absurd. If you love someone, you naturally want to be nice to her and want to marry her. What if there is such a thing in the world? The Heavenly Court does not punish murder, arson, corruption, but arrests a couple who are in love. It is really absurd.”

Several other people with family members felt deeply and responded softly. Someone turned their heads unintentionally and found that the dog was lying by the door, with tears in his eyes.

He? Very surprised: “Why is this dog crying? Could it be him? Can understand people?”

Seeing the Dali Temple official mention the dog, Song Wen explained: “Is this dog? I? I found it on the street? After it saw me, I don’t know why it had to follow me. So I left it. Then Liniang gave birth to a daughter. I sold things outside during the day and couldn’t return home. Thanks to it to see the nursing home.”

“Yes? Ah.” Liniang answered, “Although it is a dog, it is the same as a member of my family. She especially knows how to protect the little Peony. When Peony was learning to walk, she stayed by her side. , Never leave, patience can’t even match me.”

Everyone was amazed. I heard two strange stories today, and I saw a dog who was loyal to protect the lord. This trip is worth it. They talked behind, and Gu Mingke just sat quietly, silent.

Li Chaoge glanced at Gu Mingke very indifferently, and asked Song Wen: “Yang Hua and Fairy Peony? After the disappearance, is there any news?”

“No?” Song Wen shook his head, “Life and death? I don’t know. I, Liniang and I waited in Pingshan for a long time, but there was nothing but to go home with regret. Later, I have been inquiring about the whereabouts of my cousin and cousin. But? Yes? No one has seen them again, as if…”

The same disappeared in the world.

Li Chaoge thought secretly in his heart, if there was no accident, she had seen it at the age of twelve, it would be the scene where the heavenly soldiers arrested Peony.

Little Peony cried sickly in the room, her voice was the same as that of a kitten, and it was heart-wrenching to listen to. Li Chaoge saw that Song Wen had never been in contact with planting flowers, and he had not learned any secrets of planting flowers, so he could only leave with regret.

Before he left, Li Chaoge was half-remind half-yes? Warning said to Liniang: “Your? Child? is a hybrid of humans and monsters, born weak, feeding blood will treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and find a way to strengthen her body. Right way. From now on, don’t steal chickens from the White Horse Temple.

Liniang hurriedly said: “The slave family dare not. The slave family obeys his orders and dare not steal again.”

Li Chaoge saw that Liniang had a demon aura on her body, but she was pure aura and did not have the **** smell of cannibalism, and knew that she had never harmed anyone before. And with Liniang’s weak demon power, she was barely able to protect herself, and she didn’t have the energy to do extra things. After Li Chaoge beat Liniang, he left the Song family with someone.

It was getting late at the moment, the smell of cooking smoke was wafting from the alley, and the sound of mother shouting to the child came from both sides. Ma Linlang was still immersed in the story of Yang Hua and Peony, and kept sighing, “Too ruthless? It’s not so cruel? It’s wrong to love someone? Wrong, how can you convict someone for this?”

Although Song Wen didn’t say anything, but everyone present felt that Yang Hua and Peony would be too bad. Gu Mingke walked out for a while, then suddenly turned around and looked at Xiang Song Wen’s courtyard.

Liniang was holding her baby? Standing at the door, whispering something to Song Wen, the earthy dogs surrounded their feet, looking like a happy one. Liniang felt her gaze, raised her head, and realized that it was Gu Mingke.

Liniang hugged the child? Salute, and asked cautiously: “Is there any more adults? What can I do?”

This adult has a beautiful face and a clear face, although he rarely speaks, but Liniang is extremely jealous of him, far more jealous than that girl.

Although Li Chaoge saw that Liniang was a monster and threatened her not to harm others, Liniang was not afraid. This man alone gave Liniang a feeling of bottomlessness.

Little Mudan and Tugou were afraid of him, Liniang was frightened just by looking at the other’s eyes.

Seeing Gu Mingke stopped, the others turned around and looked at Gu Mingke strangely. Gu Mingke glanced over the girl in Liniang’s arms, and asked, “She is a hybrid of humans and monsters, and she is born intolerant of heaven. Even if you use your own blood to help her live for two years, she will be sick in the future. , A life of ups and downs. For this reason, is it worth it to cut off one’s lifelong cultivation skills?”

Liniang felt that Gu Mingke’s words had been forbidden, except for her and Gu Mingke, no one else could hear it. Liniang smiled and looked down at her daughter lovingly: “It’s worth it. Although cultivation can last a hundred years, she hides in the mountains and lives alone, she doesn’t know the warmth of the world, and she doesn’t know love, such a day? Even if it’s a thousand years later, what’s the use? How about having a good time, even if it’s dead, it’s not dying? There is nothing to remember.”

Gu Mingke stared at Liniang silently, he turned calmly, and quietly released the mute prohibition.

The outside voice floated in, and Song Wen asked Liniang next to him: “Liniang, what did the lord say to you, I? I didn’t pay attention, I didn’t even hear it.”

“It’s nothing.” Liniang looked at her daughter’s red face and smiled, “I’m sleepy again? A-niang? Take you back to sleep.”

Seeing that his daughter was sleepy, Song Wen quickly lowered his voice and carefully escorted his wife back to the house. The local dog was also around the owner’s feet, sticking out their tongues, but they didn’t make any calls.

Several people in Li Chaoge stood in front and waited for Gu Mingke. People from Dali Temple muttered and complained: “What did Shaoqing say, so close? The distance, I? Why didn’t I hear it?”

Li Chaoge didn’t hear it either. She looked at Gu Mingke approaching, without mentioning the matter just now, and asked, “Would you like to go?”

“Let’s go.”

Finally being able to get off work, Bai Qianhe cheered and ran away first. Li Chaoge was riding a horse behind him. At this moment, the birds came home, and the setting sun paved the streets in warm gold. The children laughed and ran on the streets. The horseshoe was against the flow of people, smashing a place of sunlight.

Li Chaoge asked: “What are you thinking about? I haven’t spoken all the time.”

After Gu Mingke came out of Song Wen’s house, he was very silent. He stared at the sunset in front of him, and asked, “Is she a monster, why don’t you kill her?”

“What’s your name?” Li Chaoge glared at him with an angry look?, “What’s wrong with monsters? There are people? Bad people, as well as monsters? Good monsters, how can there be? Indiscriminately? So, what’s the difference between us and the evil villains and demons?”

Yes? Ah, where is the boundary of justice? How to distinguish between law enforcement and murder?

Gu Mingke looked straight ahead, and the golden twilight sprinkled on him, like a metal jade, pure and beautiful. Gu Mingke asked: “One of them is a human and the other is a demon, but they are married in private. Don’t you hate it?”

“So what.” Li Chaoge sneered, not caring, “What about the demon, what about the people, the prisoner can still decide whom to fall in love with, they are? Freedom, why? Can’t be liked? People are married? The reason why people are different from animals and plants is that they have? Free will. If you can’t even decide who you are with, then what is the meaning of being alive?”

Gu Mingke looked back at? Li Chaoge, Li Chaoge held the reins, and noticed him? He raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s the matter?”

Gu Mingke gently retracted his gaze, without saying a word. He has been in charge of prison for thousands of years and has never wavered. But? Yes? At this moment, he? Suddenly began to doubt, he was sentenced? Really? Yes? Right?

Gu Mingke asks himself that he has a clear conscience, he? Every case is judged according to the rules of heaven. The rules of the sky have existed since ancient times and should not be offended. But? Since ancient times? There is?, it must be? Right?

For the rest of Li Chaoge’s days, he has searched for a lot of masters of flower planting, but no one has heard of a way to make peonies bloom in winter. Peony flowers are delicate and experienced? It is difficult for flower farmers to feed in normal seasons, let alone Li Chaoge, a novice? Seeing that Yuan Day was approaching, Li Chaoge gave up and ordered people to send the quiet flower soil into the palace.

She really did her best. Whether the peony blooms or not, she will leave it to God’s will.

In the second year of Jingming, the Queen of Heaven presided over the celebration of the Yuanri Dynasty. The hundred flowers of Luoyang bloomed overnight in the cold winter, and the peony alone did not bloom. The Queen was angry and relegated Peony.

Luoyang was wrapped in silver on that day, the sky and the earth were white, but the flowers were dotted with branches, ignoring the frost and blooming proudly. Luoyang is like a spring day, and the people rushed to the streets, bowed to Miyagi, and praised the miraculousness.

Amidst the excitement, Peony, who was indifferent, seemed out of place. The people of Luoyang praised the beauty of other flowers, but admired the peony for not fearing the queen, and keeping the flower order alone.

After this incident, the people of Luoyang loved peony more, and scholars praised the pride of peony. After being advised by Princess Sheng Yuan, the Queen of Heaven took pity for her character and named peony the king of flowers.

The sky frequently descends auspicious, and now there are even more flowers that go against the season and bloom overnight. All the officials called this? The Holy Lord was born, and the genius successively gave the will. Later, the people three times wished, calling for the queen to ascend the throne from Luoyang Chang’an? The wave swept across the country. Finally, the emperor Li Huai went to the city gate, claiming that he was talented and poor in learning, and his virtue was not worthy of the emperor. Therefore, he gave up the throne and begged his mother to claim the emperor.

After Tianhou resigned repeatedly, he accepted the emperor’s position at Yingtianmen, established himself as the emperor, and changed the name of the reign.

It took only two years for Li Huai’s reign title, Jingming, to change it to Suigong. In April of the first year of Chui Gong, the Holy Mother God Emperor Wuzhao ascended to the throne and amnesty the world. The princess of Shengyuan Town and the princess of Guangning asked to be demoted as princesses. The first emperor Li Huai was appointed the crown prince and lived in the palace.

In the first year of Chui Gong, the era when the first female emperor came to power in the past has officially begun.

——End of “Peony”.
