Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Hidden Weapon
After that, the eldest grandson Yuru turned around and left, his steps staggering a little, like a person living in a dream, and he suddenly woke up and didn't know what day it was. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Poor Huangliang rice is not cooked, and the dream has come to naught.
Xin Yi's heart was stunned, she looked outside the Ziyun Tower, the night was dark and the moon was dark, and there was no half of the stars in the sky. The air was so hot that it was like a cup under the hood, and it made people panic. The evening breeze fluttered like a wild horse, rolling up the dust and leaves of the garden, hitting the jade trunk next to the building.
Black clouds overwhelm the city and want to destroy it, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings.
The game of chess is about to change, and no one can escape, and perhaps no one will win.
It's already midnight, the Furong Garden is still noisy, the undercurrent has not yet subsided, and on the other side of Chang'an City, a certain wine bar has not yet closed, and the oil-paper lanterns have been blown by the wind.
The wine is sold in the front yard of the backyard house, so it is not limited by the time when the east and west markets are closed. The wine bar business is deserted, the shopkeeper dozes off with his head propped up, seven or eight wine urns on the rammed earth platform in front of the store, and three or two greasy square wooden tables, and the case is still condensed with yesterday's wine stains.
Li Jingting sat alone in front of the desk, drinking a pot of sake without pouring a pour, he just stretched out the wooden chopstick to pick up the pickles of the wine, but the pickles were picked up by two Ying fingers, and immediately, a male voice mixed with chewing came from his ears: "Recently, I have heard that the Third Highness has come to drink here, is it possible that he is hungry for this pickle?"
Li Jingting raised his eyes, and Xin Bai's warm and jade-like face was reflected in his eyes, and he lightly pushed a wine glass over: "Pickles are acceptable, but it is wine." If you taste it, it is a little more intoxicating than the one or two thousand gold wine drunk by the five surnamed Qiwang. ”
Xin Bai didn't refuse, he poured the wine and tasted it carefully, and suddenly grinned: "Twenty catties of qu, five stones of flowing water, stained qu on the second day of the wax moon, frozen and thawed in the first month, use good rice, and remove the qu." Brewed once every three days, full of nine oblique meters. Hence the name Nine Liquor. It's rare, it's rare, you can still drink such an authentic Jiuyu in Guanzhong. This store is also a strange person. ”
Li Jingting smiled, pouring himself a drink as before, and this scene made Xin Bai's eyes darken: "However, according to the grass people, the Third Highness is a strange person." Tonight, there is a big fork in the Furong Garden, don't look at the quiet night of Chang'an City, in fact, there is a thunderstorm in the dark, I am afraid that at this moment, the emperor of Daming Palace will also be urgently reported from the dragon couch to quarrel. The Third Highness is still drinking leisurely alone, this wine is too seductive. ”
Li Jingting smashed his mouth, seemed to have tasted the last wisp of wine in his mouth, and then said lightly: "First of all, Dali Temple investigated the case, and the Criminal Department finally decided, if there is no result, the three divisions will be tried, and then there is no result, that is, the emperor personally intervened and discussed with the ministers in the court." This slip down, not a half month and a half, where to worry about you and me. ”
Xin Bai smiled, and his eyes rose with a smile: "It's that the grass people are stupid, and even the "Wei Dian" is confused. It seems that every once in a while, this little wine jar is also sober and calm. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Third Great Wei didn't appreciate the elixir and jade dew in the palace, but ran here from time to time. ”
Xin Bai's tone suddenly sank, with caution and temptation, his eyes were like wolves staring at his prey, locking every expression of Li Jingting.
However, Li Jingting just smiled faintly, and his eyebrows became a little drunk: "It's just that you deign for good wine, what do you think Gongzi thinks? You just asked your subordinates to search the wine bar countless times, but they couldn't find the result you wanted." ”
Xin Bai's face changed.
Immediately, a few black figures appeared out of nowhere, knelt down behind Xin Bai, and one person reported in a deep voice: "Childe, my subordinates have searched inside and out." There is no abnormality in the wine, and the wine is also a real nine brews. ”
"Ouch, what's the matter? Ladies and gentlemen, the grass people run a small business, both old and young, but they have never done anything wrong!" The shopkeeper was also awakened, and he howled in a dry throat with anxiety and fear.
Xin Bai stared at Li Jingting, didn't speak for a while, and the cold air at the bottom of his eyes came up, making his face a little blue.
Suddenly, there was a sound of "dry weather, be careful of the candles" from the street, and a watchman knocked on the wooden pole and passed by the wine pot boredly.
Li Jingting's eyes flashed across the cold, he raised his chin slightly, and suddenly, several black shadows appeared from the darkness and rushed to the husband.
After a while, there was an exclamation from the husband, "All the good men spare their lives!" After a while, a few black shadows returned to the wine yard and reported to Li Jingting in their ears: "Back to Your Highness, it's just an ordinary husband, and no abnormalities have been found." ”
Li Jingting frowned for a moment, but he couldn't say that it was inappropriate, so he had to give up, just as Xin Bai's voice sounded in his ears: "How could such a cautious and suspicious Third Highness be so obsessed with Xiao Jiu's wine?"
The corners of Li Jingting's lips hooked, and he sneered strangely: "Xin Gongzi, how to play chess is my ability, and whether you can see the way of chess is your ability." ”
Xin Bai's gaze suddenly turned cold, as if he wanted to tear the man in front of him apart. Li Jingting made a gesture of send-off lightly: "It's a pity." I do not send it. ”
"Great changes are coming, and the chess game is unpredictable. The jury is still out on who will win and lose. After Xin Bai dropped the sentence fiercely, the figure disappeared at the end of the street.
The small wine was quiet again, the oil-paper lanterns creaked, and the sound of the husband was heard throughout Chang'an City in the quiet night.
Li Jingting still drank alone, silent, until a pot of wine was exhausted, he raised the wine jug and smashed it to the ground, with a screeching sound, and the wine jug shattered into pieces.
And on the inner wall of the exposed wine jug, there are sleeve arrows embedded in it.
"Your Highness, this is the finished product. The subordinates tried 999 and finally succeeded in this one. The shopkeeper stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Li Jingting.
His voice was cold, and there was a hint of anger between his eyebrows, clearly a shadow guard who crawled over in the bloody rain, where was there still half of the appearance of a small person in the market.
Li Jingting took off his sleeve arrow, looked at it carefully, and nodded slightly with satisfaction: "If you fail nine hundred and ninety-nine, you can get one." Good work, Nie Ke. ”
Nie Ke hurriedly bowed his head and said, "My subordinates don't dare to be." Ordinary Hidden Arrows can only shoot light objects at close range, but this Hidden Arrow has been improved to have seven built-in brackets to advance layer by layer. Not only can it carry an ordinary-sized dagger, but it can also shoot at a distance of more than three zhang. Moreover, the arrow part adopts a treasure that is only available in the palace: Tiantie. Light and hard, it can be like a golden stone, which can be described as killing the enemy with one blow, and killing will pierce the bones. ”
"Can those failed works that have not had time to be destroyed be hidden?" Li Jingting suddenly remembered something, and his tone was slightly cold, "There is a Xin Bai tonight, maybe someone will come tomorrow." The people in the chess game are all wolves, and they follow one by one when they smell a little prey. They must not find anything. ”
"Your subordinates have all done it, Your Highness, please rest assured. Nie Ke responded, "There is one more matter to report to His Highness." In this Hibiscus Garden Flower Fair, the emperor sent a total of five brocade guards to supervise. The subordinates have already captured all of them according to His Highness's orders, and dare to ask His Highness what to do with them?"
Li Jingting closed his eyes slightly, and his fingertips knocked on the desk one after another, as if the sound sounded the death knell in people's hearts: "Find a small cellar half a zhang long and wide, and put five people in it." Only to make sure that they do not starve to death, that there is no light, no wind, no sound, even if there is a lot of trouble in them, no one is allowed to pay attention to them. ”
