Chapter Seventy-Eight: For Whom?
Xia Yun flipped the letter over and over a few times, and muttered, "Why did my father want to be like this, could it be that he was coerced to leave,"
Concubine Xiang's face was pale, and she said in a trembling voice: "Yun'er, don't be careful, the emperor's expression was calm and natural for the past two days, and there is no sign of being coerced, otherwise you can go to Jiudao Villa to see if the emperor is really digging treasures on the mountain,"
The letterhead in Xia Yun's hand fell to the ground, and she covered her face and screamed, "Don't mention it...... Don't mention the Nine Roads Villa, the people in there are all crazy, and I will never come close to that villa within a hundred miles in my life,"
Concubine Xiang was startled, and hurriedly pressed her stomach with her hand, and said: " Yun'er, don't get excited, I only knew the emperor's whereabouts by listening to the spies' report, and there were also guards who persuaded the emperor to return to the palace, but the emperor refused, and finally lost his temper, and the guards were not allowed to appear in front of him,,,,, now there are three hundred guards hiding around the Jiudao Villa, monitoring the movements of the villa day and night, this thing is also very strange, after the emperor and Gong Grandma went up the mountain, they never left the Jiudao Villa for half a step, and the guards returned, the emperor carried a hoe and an iron catalpa every day, and was busy working in the back mountain...... This is ...... The Manchu Dynasty knows all the civil and military affairs,"
Xia Yun sat down with her head in her hands, she really couldn't imagine that her majestic father took off his splendid yellow robe, changed into a coarse cloth robe, and carried a hoe iron ball...... There is also Grandma Gong, who has to tremble three times when she walks on weekdays, and her father actually took her out of the palace, why is this?
Concubine Xiang looked down at Xia Yun, who was trembling all over, and said softly: "Yun'er, if you don't believe my words, when you see Prince Yu later, you can ask him in person, or you personally go to Jiudao Mountain Villa to find the emperor, you are his daughter, he will definitely be willing to see you, then you will persuade the emperor and ask him to return to the palace,"
Xia Yun looked wooden and said in a low voice: "Jiudao Villa, I have been there, it was raining heavily that day, and I passed out under the archway at the entrance of the villa, and no one ...... No one came to help me, I thought I was going to die there, how I got back to the palace, you don't know what,"
Concubine Xiang looked shocked: "You have been to Jiudao Villa,"
Xia Yun seemed to be crying, her fingernails were almost embedded in the flesh, and she nodded: "Well, I've been there...... But I didn't go in, the dog over there was so fierce, I didn't dare to go in,"
Concubine Xiang covered her mouth, and after a long while, she let out a long breath: "Yun'er, what are you doing where you are going, no wonder three days after you came back, the emperor quietly left the palace, and the place where you came and went is where you have been...... Do you know what's going on here?"
Xia Yun shook her head: "I don't know,"
Concubine Xiang hesitated, and said: "Yun'er, it's better for you to go to Jiudao Villa again, and bring the emperor back by the way, the child in my womb will be born next month, this ......"
Xia Yun was silent for a long time, suddenly raised her head and looked at Concubine Xiang with a worried face, and said resolutely: "No need, don't mention any Jiudao Villa in the future, since my father wants to go, he naturally has his reasons, then let him go, let's not disturb him, I will follow my father's decree and choose a day to ascend the throne as emperor,"
Concubine Xiang looked at Xia Yun, who had suddenly become solemn, sighed in disappointment, lowered her head to look at her bulging abdomen, and said in a low voice: "If this is the case, our mother and son will be entrusted to Yun'er in the future,"
Xia Yun looked at her towering belly and smiled,
Jiudao Mountain Villa has entered autumn, the green leaves of the mountains begin to turn yellow, the autumn wind passes, countless semi-dead leaves rotate with the wind, fluttering and sprinkling, the scenery is very spectacular,
Houshan,
In the bottomless cave, a small oil lamp is lit every ten zhang, winding all the way, like a fire dragon with no tail in sight.
Xiong Chen paced in the silent cave with his hands, this cave was too deep, and thousands of slaves were used to dig for decades, and this green mountain should have been dug through, but in fact it was not, no matter how deep and long this cave was, it was always curled up in this green mountain that looked like it was not more than a hundred miles.
Xiong Chen has walked around the entire green mountain in the past few months, and secretly estimated that this cave only needs to be more than a hundred miles, and a hole can be opened from the other side of the green mountain, however, the length of the cave has already exceeded a hundred miles, but it is still circling in the belly of the green mountain, which is like endless, and there is no end to digging, he is awe-inspiring in his heart, knowing that this green mountain is indeed hidden, it is a magical land, maybe it is because there is a treasure left by the fairy buried in it,
Every seven days he came in, and as he walked lonely in this cave stained with the blood of countless slaves, his heart swelled with indescribable sadness, and he felt the urge to trample on this cave as he looked at the jagged bare rocks in the cave, but he didn't,
Because, every time he took a step forward, he felt a strange vibration in his heart, this feeling seemed to come from his previous life, this feeling became more and more intense with the change of seasons, he had hoped that the fairy in Xiong Zhao's mouth could come to Jiudao Mountain Villa again, but no matter day or night, no matter whether he was awake and asleep, he could not see the legendary fairy in Tsing Yi,
In the past few months, Xiong Chen seems to have forgotten Xiaolan, Xiaolan is like a touch of green smoke, with the advent of autumn, rising in the sun, he didn't go to find his master Xiaoyaozi, but he knew that Xiaoyaozi had returned to the bamboo forest, continued to live his own free life, and not long ago he also received a good deal,
The only thing that made Xiong Chen think about him day and night was that day when he took the sword and ran to the lake of Jiudao Villa, in the pouring rain, the elegant blue light that floated from the sky, and the Fang Fei that made him intoxicated, that feeling must have haunted him in his previous life, no, it was life and life that haunted him, in the chaos of consciousness, he once shouted out a person's name, but in an instant, the feeling was gone, and the name that bloomed from the depths of the soul was no longer left in the memory,
The only thing he was sure of was that the name was not Xiaolan, but another woman's name.
Another woman's name,
Xiong Chen has been thinking day and night for the past few months, hoping to inadvertently call out this name again, but the feeling of that day seems to have been thousands of miles away, and he can no longer remember it.
Could it be that I passed by the fairy in Tsing Yi that day, and I studied swords with Xiaoyaozi for two years, looking forward to being able to practice Jiudao Villa again day and night, all I thought about was revenge...... Since the day I left Jiudao Villa, Jiudao Villa has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the source of this great change is ...... It's the appearance of the fairy in green clothes,
This fairy, since I came to Jiudao Mountain Villa, has disappeared without a trace, in the middle, has anything to do with me?
In the cave behind Jiudao Villa, there must be a very small treasure buried, the fairy said that this is her thing, and now she just wants to borrow the hand of Jiudao Villa to retrieve it, and Xiong Chen also wants to take a look at this treasure, and wants to take this opportunity to see the fairy who has this treasure,
One evening before March, he was standing on the back hill looking at the sunset, and a pair of middle-aged men and women in sackcloth walked up to him.
Simple and simple Mai, with a respectful expression, the two of them knelt down behind him,
Xiong Chen looked back at the two of them, his face was quite changeable, and after a long time, he said: "Where are you from, I don't accept long-term work here, go down the mountain,"
The two of them just kowtowed to the ground and said respectfully: "I have seen the owner of the bear village, and I will wait for the two of them, and we are willing to go up the mountain to dig the treasure for the owner,"
Xiong Chen's face turned pale, and he said coldly: "Who are you waiting for, why do you know that there is a treasure buried in the mountain behind this?"
The man in sackcloth looked up at Xiong Chen who was standing under the afterglow, and said, "The villain's surname is Xia, and he was the son of heaven of the Han Kingdom before going up the mountain, and this is Grandma Gong, who is the head of the palace,"
Xiong Chen was moved, but immediately calmed down: "You are the current Emperor Han, listen to Xiong Zhao's words, you and he belong to your own brothers, this Nine Dao Villa was originally your ancestral property, and now it has changed hands to me, do you know,"
Emperor Han's face was full of joy, and his tone was still extremely respectful: "It is precisely because the current owner of the village is Xiong Gongzi that I went up the mountain, and at this moment, my identity is just a slave of Gongzi, and I am sent by Gongzi,"
Xiong Chen's eyebrows jumped, and he said, "Are you guided by a fairy in Tsing Yi to abandon your glory and wealth and escape here?"
Emperor Han was surprised, he glanced at Grandma Gong beside him, shook his head and said, "Fairy in Tsing Yi, no, Grandma Gong and I ...... I haven't seen any fairy in Tsing Yi, this time I went up the mountain, but it was just ...... It's just out of inner traction,"
"The traction of the heart, who is pulling you,"
The two people kneeling on the ground looked at Xiong Chen without a moment's notice, without saying a word,
The afterglow of the setting sun is reflected, and the mountains and fields seem to be plated with a layer of golden light, solemn and solemn,
Xiong Chen nodded noncommittally, pointed to the road leading to the back mountain, and said: "Since you are going up the mountain out of inner traction, then go to the cave over there, Xiong Zhao is inside, and you just do not mistake to dig the treasure,"
Emperor Han and Grandma Gong both bowed their heads to the ground: "Yes, the old slave is going,"
Xiong Chen chuckled: "Old slave, since you call yourself an old slave, then I will give you a surname, this one who claims to be Emperor Han will be Xiong Xia in the future, this Gong Grandma, just call Xiong Gong Okay, go,"
Xiong Xia and Xiong Gong looked happy, bowed and went away happily,
Xiong Chen half-squinted his eyes and said in a low voice: "The traction of the heart, who is pulling all this behind it,"
Didn't I obey the pull of my heart and stay in this place that I once hated, and these two people who appeared inexplicably came here in obedience to the pull of whom, and willingly walked into the cave that did not see the light of day, and dug tirelessly day and night,
Is it the baby's traction, or the invisible traction of the person behind the baby,,,,, Hehe, Xiong Chen shook his head, all this is hidden in the clouds, only when the baby appears, can this mystery be peeled off,
