Indulge in the national teacher

Chapter 18

Mingxin Lake is a lake near the capital.It is located in the southeast of the capital, and it takes only half an hour to drive from the capital to Mingxin Lake, so both high-ranking officials and ordinary people in the capital like to come to Mingxin Lake for boating.

In addition, there is a Qingcheng Temple not far from Mingxin Lake.All the Taoist priests who practice there have real abilities.Therefore, people in the capital will go to Qingcheng Temple to ask for a stick of incense after visiting Mingxin Lake.

Today is the Shangyuan Festival, and the surrounding area of ​​Mingxin Lake is even more crowded, and the forest path leading to Qingcheng Temple is also crowded with people.

Although Lian Zong didn't like to put on the emperor's posture like his father, he was unwilling to let him and the common people squeeze into the lake at the same ferry.

Therefore, before his master came, Lian Zong's men chose a place that was far away from the crowd, but they could still experience the excitement of the Lantern Festival, and temporarily built a ferry.

Because many high-ranking officials and nobles would choose places to build ferries when they visited the lake, so their behavior did not attract much attention.

Lian Zong was very satisfied with the handling ability of his subordinates.He originally wanted to let these people move freely when they went to the lake, but he thought of the Qingcheng Temple not far from Mingxin Lake, so he raised his vigilance after all.

"Li Mingda, take a group of people to row and follow us. You don't need to be too close, as long as you can see them from a distance." Lian Zong ordered, "The rest of the people stay by the Mingxin Lake."

Li Mingda was the one who was dismissed by Gu Fang and talked a lot.Although his personality is a bit out of tune, he is still very responsible in his actions, otherwise Lian Zong would not entrust his safety to him.

Li Mingda took the order, and he immediately asked his guards to prepare the things needed to deal with emergencies.

Lian Zong nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Gu Fang and Lian Heng who were standing not far away.

I don't know what the two are talking about.Gu Fang's expression was calm, but Lian Heng's expression was a little strange.

Lian Zong was wondering, just as he raised his foot to walk in the direction of Gu Fang, he heard a "plop" from the lake.

He turned his head and saw a woman in red struggling constantly in the water.

Gu Fang and Lian Heng also noticed this movement, and they walked here.

At this moment, many people by the lake took off their coats and jumped into the icy water to save people.

"Master." Li Mingda asked Lian Zong in a low voice if he should go to rescue him.

"No rush." ​​Lian Zong stood still.He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at the struggling girl.He seemed to have seen something interesting, just smiled and didn't care about it.

Gu Fang looked at Lian Zong, relying on his eyesight acquired from studying astrology, and observed carefully for a while, only to find that there was something wrong with the woman's expression.

Although the woman was struggling constantly in paddling, her eyes were very calm.

Gu Fang suddenly remembered that when the An Guogong Mansion was destroyed that day, Lian Zong saw himself in the ancestral hall of the Gu family from a long distance away.He immediately expressed his admiration for Lian Zong's eyesight.

Lian Heng doesn't have the good eyes of the two of them.He looked at the calm expressions of his imperial brother and Gu Fang, and while he was puzzled, he also sweated at the woman.

Looking at the lake again, the young men who jumped into the lake swiped their arms with all their might, finally getting close to the woman in red.Before they stretched out their hands, the woman slowly sank into the water.

This made these men and the people watching by the lake very anxious.Some of them stomped their feet; some shouted; some even yelled in the direction of Gu Fang, saying things like why so many of you didn't save people.

Lian Zong glanced at the place where there was a lot of noise, and immediately calmed down those who were shouting the loudest.

Only then did he ask a guard to save people in the lake.

The guard who was pointed by him jumped into the lake without saying a word.This person's water skills are very good at first glance, and he arrived at the place where the accident happened after a while.

He was not in a hurry, he held his breath and dived into the water.Then, the woman in red who was already in a coma was soon discovered.

The guard quickly approached the woman and lifted her out of the water.

Those young men looked at the guards effortlessly and calmly without even hearing their gasps, and felt a little ashamed.

The guard handed the woman to one of the men, then turned around and swam back to the shore.

He climbed onto the shore wet all over, knelt in front of Lian Zong, and obeyed Lian Zong's instructions for the next step.

Lian Zong was very satisfied and asked him to wipe himself clean, and then change into clean clothes.

The guard withdrew without a word.

When the guards passed by Gu Fang, Gu Fang suddenly felt a chill.He couldn't help but tightened his cloak, but found it was useless.He looked at the guard again, and found that there was a faint black air floating on his body.

The black air was so faint that he didn't notice it just now.

Gu Fang took a closer look at Mingxin Lake, but found nothing unusual.He frowned, walked to a place close to the lake, lifted the hem of his clothes, and squatted down.

He stretched out his hand and brought a handful of water from the lake to his eyes, but there was no black air as he had imagined.

This is strange.Gu Fang turned his head and glanced at the young men who had finally climbed ashore from the lake, and found that they also had a little black air on their bodies.

Gu Fang thought, could it be that the water he just picked up was on the lake, so he didn't find anything?The problem should be in the water below the depth of at least one person.

When Gu Fang squatted down, Lian Zong noticed his actions.But Lian Zong didn't stop him, he wanted to see what Gu Fang found.

Who knows, even if he didn't pay attention, he heard Gu Fang's exclamation.

Lian Zong's eyes widened, and he strode forward to pull Gu Fang, who was half in the water, up.

He hugged Gu Fang tightly, whose lower half and body were all soaked, feeling a little angry at the same time with lingering fear.

So he unceremoniously accused Gu Fang: "Why are you so careless!"

Gu Fang was not frightened by Lian Zong's suddenly raised voice, he clung to Lian Zong's body and said thank you softly.

This time he was really careless.

Just now Gu Fang was thinking about how to get the deep water in the lake, but he lost his footing and paddled into the water without paying attention.Fortunately, Lian Zong's quick eyes and quick hands pulled him out of the water.

However, the clothes on Gu Fang's body can be regarded as unwearable.

Lian Zong took Gu Fang away from the shore, and then let go of his arms around Gu Fang's waist.He drove Gu Fang into the carriage, and then took a set of clean clothes from Zhang Pu.

When Gu Fang changed his clothes, Lian Zong sat outside the carriage.Thinking about what happened just now, he always felt that Gu Fang was not someone who didn't cherish himself, so there must be a reason for what happened just now.So he asked without hesitation: "What happened just now?"

Gu Fang paused with the hand holding the coat, and then said lightly: "I suspect there is something in the lake. I just lost my mind and was careless."

"Things?" Lian Zong was puzzled, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that the things that could arouse Gu Fang's curiosity could only be related to things that were full of yin.

After listening to Gu Fang's narration, Lian Zong immediately promised that after returning to the palace, he would send someone to Mingxin Lake to find out.

On the other side, since Gu Fang and his royal brother both went to the carriage, Lian Heng, feeling a little bored, turned his attention to the rescued woman in red.

But because he was not very close, he could only see the crowd surrounding the woman in red, but he couldn't see the specific situation.

Lian Heng rolled his eyes and quietly ran to the crowd.

Through the human wall, he saw that the woman who fell into the water had woken up, but her sanity seemed not very clear.She had a look of panic on her face, and her fingers tightly grabbed the hem of her clothes, as if she didn't understand why she was here and what happened.

The people around her only thought that the girl's brain was injured because of falling into the water, and they didn't think of anything else.Some very enthusiastic people offered to take the woman to see a doctor.

The woman in red just kept her lips trembling and didn't speak.

Although Lian Heng's eyesight is not as good as that of his elder brother and Gu Fang, he is still very accurate in seeing people.

He saw something unusual about this woman at a glance.She didn't look like she was injured and lost her memory, but more like she was fascinated by someone, and she just woke up now.

Lian Heng immediately wanted to tell Lian Zong about this, but he hadn't waited for him to take action.A group of people in Taoist uniforms suddenly appeared outside the crowd.

A believer immediately recognized that these people were the Taoist priests practicing in the Qingcheng Temple.He immediately yelled in surprise.

When other people heard that the Taoist priests from Qingcheng Temple were coming, they also gathered around and greeted these calm-looking Taoist priests.

Ever since Lian Heng knew that the Qingcheng Temple might be related to real Yuqi, his sense of Qingcheng Temple was not very good.So he went against the crowd and walked to the outermost side.But even in this position, he could still see the actions of those Taoist priests.

The leading Taoist priest went straight to the woman in red, and then muttered to her for a while.Soon, the woman calmed down.

Seeing this situation, the surrounding people immediately praised it.

So when the Taoist priest proposed to temporarily bring the injured and amnesiac woman back to Qingcheng Temple for treatment, the people who watched rarely raised any objections.

A few people just wanted to say "men and women can't kiss each other", but they were blocked back with a sentence.

At this time, the leading Taoist priest smiled and said, "There is an old lady in the temple who can take care of this girl."

The person who asked the question just now withdrew from the crowd.

Lian Heng curled his lips in disdain, he couldn't believe that these people were so kind.

The people from Qingcheng Temple took the woman away quickly, and did not give Lian Heng a chance to inform his brother Huang at all.Lian Heng yelled badly, and ran back to them in a hurry.

At this time, Gu Fang had changed into new clothes and stood by the lake.

"Brother." Lian Heng panted and talked about what he saw.

Lian Zong rubbed his chin when he heard the words, but didn't express his opinion immediately.

Instead, Gu Fang suggested: "You think those Taoist priests have problems, maybe this woman has problems too?"

"What?" Lian Heng stared blankly at Gu Fang.

Gu Fang took a look at Lian Zong, and then told the strangeness of the woman in the lake.

After listening to it, the whole person was dying, and he couldn't raise his spirits and said: "Brother, let's go swimming in the lake."

"Okay." Lian Zong patted him on the head lovingly, then exchanged glances with Gu Fang.
