Chapter 381: Something Strange
On the second day, at one o'clock, the three of them left the inn and went to find Yu Niang's aunt.
The road is naturally pointed out by Yu Niang.
When the three of them passed by Tongfu Street, they found that there was a crowd of people in front of them, and it was unusually noisy. After asking others, I learned that this was the last selection of noblewomen.
Although it had been a night, Jinhuang still had doubts in his heart after all, and when he heard that it was a noble girl, he stopped for a moment.
The venue is located at the end of Tongfu Street Langhuan Garden, I heard that it is the private garden of a wealthy man in Minzhou, and this time it was specially lent to the government for a few days in order to select a noble girl. Because it involved the envoy from the imperial capital, and it was an errand for His Majesty the lord of the country, some people in the government inevitably mixed in or made an obstruction from it, and specially assigned the officials and the guards outside Langhuan Garden to prevent outsiders from sneaking in.
However, fortunately, this private garden is built with the Huancheng River as the core, and the Huancheng River is connected to the outside world, so outsiders cannot enter but can also be admired from the outside. As a result, the stone bridge across the river and the streets on both sides were crowded with people.
Although they were far apart, Yu Jinhuang and Yun Hua's eyesight was enough to see the situation in the garden.
The candidate nobles showed their talents on a high platform in the middle of the river, while a group of judges sat around the river in turn, with a canopy like a pavilion and a weaving.
Jinhuang noticed that among the red, green, and green official uniforms, two of them were unusually eye-catching. The navy blue base is embellished with white crane patterns, supplemented by auspicious clouds and back lines. The two of them are quite young, and they can be seen to be delicate and handsome between their eyebrows, coupled with their thin bodies and jade crowns on their heads, they have a fairy demeanor. However, in the eyes of the true cultivators, the expressions of the two did not fall in the air, but there was a state of evil.
It can be seen that the two are not decent people.
"Jin'er, have you noticed those two?" suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Well, do you see something?" Jin Huang replied to him.
Yun Hua's tone was solemn, "I see that the eyebrows of these two sons are not only stained with blood, but also lingering with a strong evil grudge. I'm afraid that they have a lot of lives on their hands, and all of them are unnatural deaths!"
The sophistication is not only the guide of the Netherworld Ghost Mansion, but also the ghosts and resentful spirits who have seen a lot of various ways of dying. The eyes are like torches, and it is reasonable to have this insight.
When Jinhuang heard this, he was silent, but he had another thought in his heart.
The two men sat in turn next to the leopard-print red-robed official in the center. She had already seen that this leopard-print red-robed official was the highest-ranking person among these officials, and it should be the so-called envoy from the imperial capital. However, even with such an identity, he also lowered his eyebrows and smiled when he faced the two of them.
Whenever the talent of the candidate nobles on the high platform in the center of the river is displayed, the official must turn his head to ask the two of them.
Whether these two people bow their heads or not determines whether the candidate noblewoman will go or stay.
It can be seen that the status of these two people is a few points higher than that of the envoy. It's just that, the strange thing is that they are wearing non-official uniforms, and I don't know what their identities are?
"This eldest brother, the younger brother has just arrived, I don't know, what is this doing?" Yun Huachong arched his hand to the middle-aged man with a face next to him and asked politely.
"You're from a foreign country, aren't you? At this time every five years, His Majesty the Lord of the Kingdom will send a special envoy to our Minzhou to select noble daughters and enter the palace to serve nobles. The square-faced man said, stretched out his right hand and shook his fingers, "Well, the one sitting in the middle is the envoy from the imperial capital, I heard that he is still a big official." ”
Yun Hua's face suddenly realized, "I see, no wonder it's so lively." Hey, who are the two people sitting next to the envoy, and how are they dressed differently from the others?"
"You haven't seen it, so you don't know. These two are the disciples of the national teacher, and they came together with the envoy to choose a noble girl. Even if these women pass the eyes of the envoy, if the two of them see that the numerology is in conflict with His Majesty, they will never be selected!"
Yun Hua nodded, and said curiously: "They can still see through other people's numerology?"
"Why can't it? The national teacher has the ability to go through the sky, but he knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later, how strange is it that as a disciple of his old man, he can see through other people's numerology? If it weren't for the protection of the national teacher, how could we have so many years of stable life!" This square-faced man probably respected this "national teacher" very much, and when he heard Yun Hua's questioning, his face immediately became excited and indignant.
"Big brother, don't worry! Don't worry!" Seeing this, Yun Hua smiled again and again, "The little brother is a rough man in the countryside, I have never heard of the name of the national teacher, and if I am offended for a while, I blame the little brother for his clumsy mouth, and the eldest brother is not strange!"
The square-faced man saw that his attitude was sincere, and he thought that the dirt bun came out of the corner of the countryside, and his face really eased down, but he just turned around and ignored him.
Yun Hua touched it boringly, and smiled awkwardly at Jinhuang. The two squeezed out the crowd and walked out.
"Jin'er, I'm afraid you're right in your doubts. After a moment, Yun Hua once again heard a secret voice.
The disciples of the "highly respected" national teacher actually had human lives on their hands, and they couldn't die. I'm afraid that there are still some things hidden in it that outsiders don't know......
"We'll talk about that later. Have you noticed that Yu Niang is very wrong?" Jin Huang replied to him.
"Naturally. Ever since she set foot on Tongfu Street, she has begun to think that she does not belong. ”
Both of them are cultivators, and they are extremely sensitive to the changes around them. Just because they don't say anything doesn't mean they don't know.
After the two of them stayed away from the crowd, Jin Huang asked as if unintentionally, "Yu Niang, but you are still unwell?" Your face looks very pale. Jade Niang?
Yu Niang's eyes were scattered, and she walked forward by herself, until Jinhuang called her three times before she came back to her senses in a trance, and looked at the two of them blankly, "Immortal Chief?"
"Yu Niang, you look very pale, but what's wrong?" Jin Huang and Yun Hua glanced at each other and asked again.
Yu Niang's face froze, her eyes dodged unnaturally, unwilling to look at the two of them, and after a pause, she replied, "No, it's not." It's just that there are too many people in Fang, and for a while, I felt a little out of breath, but now, it's okay. ”
Jinhuang and Yunhua are like mirrors, knowing that she must have something to do with the selection of noble girls, but they also see that she doesn't want to talk more, so she can't force it, so she nods and doesn't say more.
The two followed Yu Niang's guidance, and finally found her aunt with a lot of effort. After that, they returned to the city, and after finding out where the two disciples of the national teacher lived, they agreed to go out to investigate after nightfall.
Night, as scheduled.
The night is forested, moonless, cloudy, suitable for murder and arson.
