C50 Secret plum blossom

"In the dream, of course." Yang Xiao laughed and said.

"You actually shamelessly tease me like this? You are looking for a beating! " Lu Xueyao said as she aimed at Yang Xiao and started punching him.

Just as the two of them were fighting, someone outside said: "Xue Yao, why are you in the dark so early in the morning?"

It was Shen Lingmei's voice, causing Lu Xueyao to immediately sit up, he pushed Yang Xiao away and replied: "Ling Mei, the wind just now blew in and extinguished the lamp, you can come in."

Lu Xueyao pushed Yang Xiao away and once again lit the oil lamp.

Shen Lingmei pushed the door and entered, seeing that Yang Xiao was also here, he was shocked, "Shocked! Yang Xiao is also here? "

Yang Xiao shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be nothing and said: "Xue Yao and I are discussing about recruiting new soldiers tomorrow. I don't feel at ease because I'm afraid that I won't be able to recruit many new soldiers."

Shen Lingmei said: "I was thinking about this too. Have you two discussed it yet?" After he finished speaking, he looked at Yang Xiao with an ambiguous gaze.

Yang Xiao thought: "Ling Mei, Ling Mei, you said that you have to barge in now, and intentionally disturb my good fortune ah."

Lu Xueyao replied: "It's about time, Yang Xiao, it's not early, you should go back and rest."

Yang Xiao stretched his lazy waist and left.

The moment Yang Xiao left, Shen Lingmei walked over with a sinister smile, grabbed Lu Xueyao's sleeve, and said with a low smile. "Xueyao, you and Yang Xiao had an affair?"

Lu Xueyao blushed. He knew that Shen Lingmei must have suspected him, and it was no wonder. A man and a woman alone together, even blowing out the lamp. However, Lu Xueyao would never admit it, he smiled calmly, "Ling Mei. "What nonsense are you talking about? You're the one who had an affair with him."

Shen Lingmei curled his lips and said: "Xue Yao, do you still want to hide it from me?"

Lu Xueyao said anxiously: "Ling Mei, we really are fine, why don't you stop making wild guesses?"

Shen Lingmei chuckled: "Alright, alright, our relationship has always been good, I'll keep it a secret for you."

Lu Xueyao was so angry that he started at Shen Lingmei, he stomped his feet and said: Ling Mei, how am I what you think I am? "But it's really not what you think."

Shen Lingmei looked at Lu Xueyao suspiciously, "Really? Xue Yao, you're not lying to me? Have you not given yourself to him yet? "

Lu Xueyao was so anxious that she almost started crying, "Ling Mei, look at what you're saying, it's so embarrassing. I'm still a virgin. "

"Sigh!" Shen Lingmei sighed, and pulled Lu Xueyao's hand and said: "Xueyao, sorry I troubled you. You originally liked Liu Lang, right? In the end, the old official did not care about the situation. He had promised you to Wulang, and now that Hiro had died for the country, I could not help but feel sorry for him. But such a Yang Xiao popped out of nowhere, causing everyone to feel uneasy. Xue Yao, do you think that he is too similar to Liu Lang? "

Lu Xueyao sighed: "I'm just a gentle woman. After my foster father passed away, he entrusted me to the old gramps, so I had no choice but to listen to the arrangements of the elders."

Shen Lingmei faintly sighed: "Xue Yao, I pity you so much. To be honest, you could have fought for your freedom in marriage, fighting to marry your beloved husband."

Lu Xueyao said faintly: "But I don't want to go against your words, just let nature take its course."

On the second day, Lu Xueyao brought a hundred elite soldiers to Lu Jia Village to recruit new recruits. Shen Lingmei asked Yang Xiao: "Yang Xiao, why aren't you going with your Xue Yao?"

Yang Xiao laughed helplessly: "Xue Yao won't let me go, she wants me to stay and guard the Phoenix City with you." Yang Xiao cursed inwardly. If not for you, I would have already picked Xue Yao's fresh fruit.

Shen Lingmei smiled as he accompanied Yang Xiao to patrol the defensive system of the Phoenix City. Yang Xiao also made some meticulous arrangements, and busied himself through the entire morning. After finishing lunch, he heard loud noises from outside, Yang Xiao asked the Bodyguard: "What are things happening outside so noisy?"

Bodyguard replied, "Reporting to Sixth General, there was an old woman who complained. She didn't dare to disturb you."

Yang Xiao said angrily: "Someone has complained, they must be wronged, how can they not report it?"

Bodyguard said while trembling in fear, "Gu Jinlong said that there is no need to trouble Sixth General with such a small matter."

Yang Xiao said in a stern voice: "Cut the crap, bring the person who shouted injustice to me."

Bodyguard accepted the order and quickly brought an old lady over. When the old lady saw Yang Xiao, she kneeled on the ground and cried out, "General, save the old lady's daughter!

Yang Xiao helped her up, "Old granny, don't be in such a hurry. Tell me everything clearly, I will be the judge for you."

The old granny stood up, her nose full of tears, and told Yang Xiao what had happened. Her husband had passed away two years ago and only had one daughter, Xiao Lian. Xiao Lian had gotten to the age where she was going to be married off, but was robbed the day before yesterday by thieves, and in these few days, the villagers in Wu Town had lost their women. The villagers had tried to report this to the government, but the government did not respond.

When Yang Xiao heard that something had happened, he also felt troubled. He didn't know who snatched the lady away, how could he go to save them?

Seeing Yang Xiao like this, the old granny started to cry again. Shen Lingmei said: "Old granny, don't cry for now. Think about it carefully.

The old granny said with red eyes, "I am just an old woman. I usually sew and mend clothes for others and do some needlework for my daily life. How can I offend anyone?" "I heard that there is a Golden Temple on the west side of the mountain, and there are quite a few new monks in the temple. Those monks are flower monks, they eat wine and eat meat, and the villagers are all discussing that they are not good people, so they suspect that these monks are the culprits."

Yang Xiao slapped the table, and said: "How preposterous, immediately send troops to destroy this temple."

Shen Lingmei said: "Yang Xiao, we do not have any evidence to prove that they forcefully stole the girl. It would be inappropriate to take the initiative. "

Yang Xiao said: "How many monks that eat meat and drink can there be? I guess it had something to do with them. "

Shen Lingmei said: "How about this, let's go over there and scout the situation to see if there's really such a thing. After all, it's still not too late to send troops."

Yang Xiao readily agreed. "Ling Mei, this afternoon, the two of us will make a trip to Golden Temple to take a look at their situation." He turned around and said to the old granny, "Old Granny, go back and wait for the news. I'll personally handle this case for you right now."

Sending the old lady away, Yang Xiao found the Gu Jinlong to inquire about the situation of the Golden Temple. When he heard that Yang Xiao and Shen Lingmei wanted to scout the Golden Temple, the Gu Jinlong found it hard to believe, "Sixth General, I also know how to make decisions for my people, but right now is an extremely short time. Even if the Golden Temple has a few thieves and monks causing trouble, we can only deal with them after we have harvested the rice."

Yang Xiao waved his hand and said: "Gu Jinlong's words are wrong, the reason why I wanted to get rid of this dark nest is to gain the upper hand first. Think about it, if this place is really a bandit's nest, why would they move here recently? Clearly, they were here for the harvesting of the rice, as they were planning to rob us of our grain. Rather than guarding against them, it would be better to just take care of them as soon as possible. This is my train of thought, using the recent period of time to remove all the dark spots around Phoenix City, only then will I be able to successfully protect them from any disturbances. "

Gu Jinlong patted his head and said, "Sixth General is indeed wise.

Yang Xiao laughed and asked him about some of the Golden Temple's situation and location. Then, he ordered Gu Jinlong to continue practicing his military affairs and to wait for news of him.

Yang Xiao slapped the table, and said: "How preposterous, immediately send troops to destroy this temple."

Shen Lingmei said: "Yang Xiao, we do not have any evidence to prove that they forcefully stole the girl. It would be inappropriate to take the initiative. "

Yang Xiao said: "How many monks that eat meat and drink can there be? I guess it had something to do with them. "

Shen Lingmei said: "How about this, let's go over there and scout the situation to see if there's really such a thing. After all, it's still not too late to send troops."

Gu Jinlong patted his head and said, "Sixth General is indeed wise.

Yang Xiao laughed and asked him about some of the Golden Temple's situation and location. Then, he ordered Gu Jinlong to continue practicing his military affairs and to wait for news of him.

Yang Xiao secretly rejoiced for himself, and then went out with the beautiful Ling Mei to execute the detective task, it seemed like the heavens really took care of him, yesterday you disturbed sixth master's good situation, causing him to lose his temper, he had to vent it out on you. Yang Xiao purposely walked slowly. When the two of them arrived at Wu Town, the sky was already dark. Yang Xiao said to Shen Lingmei: "Ling Mei, the sky is already dark, we are not going to the Golden Temple today. If we go to their place at such a late time, they will suspect us. Let's find a small shop to stay at tonight, and go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow. "

Shen Lingmei smiled sweetly, "Alright, I'll listen to you."

Yang Xiao saw a small tavern in front of him, and said: "However, when we are staying, we have to pretend to be husband and wife, this way we won't attract the attention of the locals."

Shen Lingmei asked, "Why?"

Yang Xiao said: This is the secret of the enemy, you don't need to ask too much. When we go to the shop later, I will say that we are husband and wife.

Shen Lingmei was suddenly interested, "Alright, I'll listen to you, but you have to explain the details to me."

Yang Xiao tugged on Shen Lingmei's wrist, "Come, let's go in and chat."

When the two of them arrived at the inn, the waiter came over and greeted them, "Dear guests, how are you? Are you staying here?"

Yang Xiao said: "Bring us a room, four dishes and a pot of good wine, wash our faces and take us to the room."

"Alright!"

Yang Xiao turned his head and smiled, the two of them then went upstairs. This inn was considered clean, with a large and comfortable room, a large bed, drapes, and a cold mat. In front of the window was the vast river surface.

Yang Xiao and Shen Lingmei then started to drink together. After eating their fill, Yang Xiao teased: Ling Mei, tell me, do you think the bald donkeys of Golden Temple can see that we are disguised as husband and wife?

Shen Lingmei thought for a while before replying, "I don't think so."

Yang Xiao said, "That's true, but in truth, we are husband and wife, and people who don't know anything would definitely not be able to tell."
