Chapter 229: The Closest Place to the Gods
Yun Mo never thought that he would meet the Nine Princes again under such circumstances. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info When he was full of memories of the past, the murderer who accidentally "killed" his beloved suddenly appeared in front of him, should he step forward and beat people up without saying anything, or draw his sword and kill him, or just turn around and leave?
In the end, Yun Mo still suppressed the hatred in his heart, stepped forward and called, "Uncle Nine." ”
Nangong Qingye nodded, motioned for Yun Mo to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard, and put the two jars of wine he brought on the table, "Aged daughter Hong, I just snatched it from your imperial uncle." ”
Yun Mo took a jar of wine, raised his head and poured it down. Nangong Qingye frowned, "I taught you how to drink, I don't remember telling you that wine is like this!"
"You also told me that when you meet someone you like, you have to be bold enough to catch up with her, and tell her loudly, 'I like you'! When the person is gone, what's the use of regretting it?" Yun Mo put down the wine jar and looked at Nangong Qingye, "I did it all, but she still left. ”
Nangong Qingye was silent for a long time, and put a sword in front of Yun Mo, it was the fish intestine sword that Murong Lingfeng stabbed into the chest of the man in black that day, "Do you know why I'm waiting here for you to come back?"
Yun Mo looked at the fish intestine sword and frowned. He gave the fish intestine sword to the little boy, but the little boy only used it twice, once falling off the cliff, and once the life and death were unknown. In this way, this fish intestine sword is really an ominous weapon.
"I just think I deserve to pay you for my life. Nangong Qingye said.
Yun Mo stroked the pattern on the scabbard, "At that time, I really wanted to kill you! Not only because you are my ninth uncle, but also because you are also a teacher and friend to me. What's more, Feng'er would rather sacrifice herself than get you hurt at all, so how could I go against her will?"
Nangong Qingye looked at Yun Mo's sad and lonely figure, and suddenly thought of himself many years ago. The word love, too painful and bitter, but how many crazy men and women are drunk like moths to a fire?
Yun Mo saw that Nangong Qingye had been staring at him, and smiled, "What, does Uncle Nine still want to teach me how to deal with falling out of love now?"
"You're not called a broken love, Feng'er will come back sooner or later!" Nangong Qingye said firmly.
As he was talking, the courtyard door was pushed open again, and this time there were a lot of people. Led by the smiling Emperor Chu, he was also followed by the second prince and the sixth prince who were in a good mood, as well as the family of the Wuwang Mansion and the brothers who had just returned to Chu Jing with Yun Mo today, "I knew that the two of you would be here!"
Emperor Chu grabbed the position next to Yun Mo first, and looked at the people behind him who could only go back and move the bench helplessly, laughing, not caring about his image as an emperor at all.
Yun Mo saw that the courtyard suddenly became cheerful and lively, and pursed his lips, these people are simply too blind, don't you see that he and Uncle Nine are hurting here?
Emperor Chu was still there, "Han'er, ask someone to bring a few more jars of wine." Ah Jin, Ah Ling, what about our barbecue? Why didn't you bring it? Come on, Yezi, Xiaoxiao, put the fruit here, and bring a few more plates! Let's talk while eating!"
Everything was ready and everyone was sitting around. The Ninth Prince looked at this formation and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Huang, what are you doing here?"
"I have something to talk to you about!" Emperor Chu opened a jar of wine, poured it into the bowl with the appearance of a scholar and a Jianghu person, and took a sip heroically, "Tsk, wine, it should be drunk like this to taste good!"
"What's the matter?" asked the Nine Princes.
Emperor Chu put the bowl down, tore another piece of barbecue and put it in his mouth, "Well, fragrant! What else can happen in these years? The wind and rain are smooth, there is no illness or disaster, the world has let Mo'er obey, and the lonely emperor is not too easy to do! Now that it can be regarded as a thing, isn't there only the Netherworld Trial left?"
Emperor Chu ate two more bites of meat, and when he looked up, he saw everyone staring at him, and was stunned, "Why don't you eat it?"
Everyone said, "We're not waiting for you to get down to business."
Or Di Ting, he can speak, "Your Majesty, we just had dinner and we are not hungry, shall we first tell us about the Netherworld Trial?"
Emperor Chu waved his hand, "No, the people haven't arrived yet!" Now that I'm done, I have to repeat it again after a while, tired!"
Everyone looked at each other, aren't all the people here? Who else?
Emperor Chu glanced at Qi Rong beside him, "You go to the door and take a look, why hasn't he come yet? Don't get lost." ”
Qi Rong agreed and left.
When everyone was racking their brains to guess who this spectrum was so big that he dared to let the emperor and others be, Qi Rong led a man in with a smile, "I really let the emperor guess correctly, the Hou Ye has been wandering around the door for a long time and didn't dare to come in." "If you want to say it, who can believe that the mansion of the Murong family, the first family in the world, would be so dilapidated?
Seeing the person coming, the two brothers Song Ye and Song Xiao reacted the most, and they immediately stood up and saluted the person respectfully, "Father!"
That's right, the person who came was Song Ye and Song Xiao's father, Song Yu, the Marquis of Zhennan.
Song Yu is the brother of Emperor Chu and the Nine Kings, but something happened more than 20 years ago, Song Yu left the capital and stayed in the frontier for 18 years. In Song Xiao's life, this adoptive father almost didn't appear, and he and Song Yu saw each other only a handful of times. However, Song Xiao admired Song Yu in his heart. In his heart, even though the Nine Princes and the Holy Princes are the gods of war in Southern Chu, the most powerful general is still his father, Song Yu, the Marquis of Zhennan. This is probably an innate sense of superiority.
In comparison, Song Ye was much happier than his younger brother, when he was young, he followed Song Yu for a period of time, and it was not until Song Yu left the capital that he lived in King Wu's mansion.
It's just that I didn't expect that after eighteen years, Song Yu still returned to Chujing.
Song Yu nodded at the two of them, and then walked over and gave Emperor Chu a big salute, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Chu waved his hand to let him get up, which means, Lone doesn't need this false courtesy, "Come on, isn't it the time for you to point at Lone Nose and scold the faint monarch?"
Song Yu was helpless, he was a little short-tempered that day, but Nangong Qingtian was too cautious, and he remembered the grudge for more than 20 years!
Emperor Chu asked Qi Rong to bring Song Yu a bench for him to sit down. Song Yu glanced at the bench that was obviously half a cut shorter than others, and was speechless for a moment, "You're so old, you're all bored!"
Emperor Chu glared, "Do you also know that you are old, so many people don't come back to see your brother, do you think you should be punished?" He pointed to the small bench and said that he would not let go of anything, "Today you will sit alone!
Good guy, where is this, and I'm going to be punished? Song Yu glanced at the small bench helplessly, "Shall I sit on the ground?"
Emperor Chu raised his eyebrows, that means - you can do it yourself!
Song Yu really didn't have a problem with him, and in the end he could only sit on the small bench reluctantly.
The sixth prince smiled, "How do you feel that you are back to when we were young, every time Lao Qi bullied Xiao Yuzi, Xiao Yuzi is so helpless! Hahaha, I didn't expect that after so many years, Xiao Yuzi, you are still planted in the hands of Lao Qi." ”
Song Yu also sighed, why was he bullied in this life, but he is still a prince, if he is bullied back, it will be "the crime of bullying the king" again, he will lose left and right, and he will be aggrieved!
Emperor Chu saw that Song Yu sat down like a little scholar, and then stopped making trouble, cleared his throat, and talked about business, "Half a month ago, the envoys of Zhantian Palace have arrived. In about three days, we will leave for Zhantian Palace. ”
"So fast?" Chu Jin was surprised, they had just come back and were leaving again?
"I should have left a few days ago, but I wasn't waiting for you to come back. Emperor Chu said, "If we don't set off in three days, we won't be able to catch up with the Netherworld Trial at all." ”
Speaking of the Netherworld Trial, Emperor Chu remembered one more thing, he looked at Song Yu and Yun Mo with a smile, "This time, I'm afraid your uncle and nephew will have to fight!"
Both of them were stunned, looking at each other and not very understanding, what are they fighting for?
The Ninth Prince was clear, "Your Uncle Yu also asked the Zhantian Palace Lord to find someone, but there can only be one leader of the Netherworld Trial." Nangong Qingye looked at the two of them, and suddenly didn't know which way to go. To say, Song Yu has been waiting for more than 20 years, and this rare opportunity should be given to him. However, Yun Mo is also very affectionate to the little prince, and as far as the ninth prince is concerned, he also hopes that the little prince can come back.
As soon as Song Xiao heard that Song Yu was looking for someone, his eyes immediately lit up, "Father is looking for his mother?"
Song Yu nodded with a straight face, like that, there was some tenderness in the seriousness, awkward and funny, the key is that it is very cute. provoked Ouyang Feifei to cover her mouth and snicker, "If Xiao Yan is here, he will definitely laugh at you again!"
Hearing Chu Yan's name, Song Yu's expression softened a lot.
Yun Mo had also heard the story of Song Yu and Chu Yan.
Chu Yan, also known as Nangong Yan, is the biological sister of Emperor Chu and the Nine Princes of the same father and mother. However, when the Queen Mother was pregnant with Chu Yan, she was framed by a traitor, and Chu Yan was born with severe poison. Fortunately, Duchess An Guo, that is, An Shuli's mother-in-law, was also pregnant, and Mrs. Murong took her husband to Chujing to visit her sister. The Nine Deaths Valley has always had a deep connection with the Murong Mansion, and several generations of Murong family heads have been disciples of the Nine Deaths Valley. Murong Shen's medical skills are naturally not a problem. With his timely treatment, Chu Yan survived. It's just that the child is too young, and the poison really hurts her body. The Queen Mother finally reluctantly handed over Chu Yan to the Murong couple to raise. It was naturally unpolite for the Murong clan to raise the Emperor Ji of Southern Chu, so the first emperor gave her the surname of Southern Chu and called her Chu Yan.
Murong Shen really cleaned up the poison on Chu Yan's body, but the child had already had feelings for so many years, and the situation in Southern Chu was unstable at that time, the first emperor and the queen mother did not ask them to send the princess back, so Murong and his wife pretended not to know and continued to keep the princess by their side. It wasn't until Chu Yan was eighteen years old that he returned to Chu Jing. But she only came back once, but she took away Song Yu's heart. Later, for some reason, Chu Yan left and has never been back since. Song Yu looked for her for more than 20 years, but found nothing.
Speaking of which, in addition to Emperor Chu, the Nine Princes and Song Yu, there is also one person who has some relationship with Chu Yan - Chu Jin.
Chu Jin was a little refugee who was about to starve to death that Chu Yan picked up on the way back to the capital, Chu Yan saw that this child was clever and tough, the key was that he was quite cute, so she brought people back to raise him as a son.
At that time, Chu Yan himself was only eighteen years old, where would he raise a child, and he didn't lose it to Princess Wu, who had already given birth to two children. In Chu Yan's words, one is also rushing, and the two are also released, and the child is raised with one more! Chu Jin is also filial and obedient, although Chu Yan didn't care much about him, he just came over to tease him happily, but he always remembered that it was Chu Yan who pulled him out of the pile of dead people, one by one, and he didn't call him too affectionate. Every time he called his mother in that glutinous voice, Chu Yan hugged him and smiled, she herself had a son before she got married, and she was not ashamed. However, in the end, when Chu Yan left, he still didn't take him with him.
In other words, the name Chu Jin also has an allusion. A refugee child, it is already a great luck to have saliva to drink and eat, where have you seen Chu Jing's glorious pavilions. Two or three-year-old children, but they have seen too much of the hot and cold world, so they are naturally restrained. He looked at such a beautiful gate of the Martial Prince's Mansion, and looked at his dirty shoes, where did he dare to enter. Chu Yan didn't care about him, so he walked straight inside, walked more than ten meters out, only to find that the child didn't follow, and walked back to call him, "Come in! Why don't you come in?"
Therefore, in addition to Song Yu, Chu Jin also hopes to see Chu Yan again.
Yun Mo took the wine handed by the Nine Princes and took a sip, "Let's do it according to our abilities!"
Emperor Chu nodded, he also planned to do so, anyway, he was happy to win whichever victory, and there was a good show to watch, why not do it!
"In previous years, 200 people from each country could enter the Zhantian Palace, including guards and maids, but the eighteen villages had only 50 places in each village, and together with the 300 people formed by the people themselves, there were 2,000 people in total. This year is no exception. These two thousand people will gather in Xuantian City, and a competition will be held, and finally a hundred people will be selected to enter the Netherworld Trial. The remaining 1,900 people can choose to leave, or they can enter the Zhantian Palace as spectators. Of course, it is also a rare opportunity to go to Zhantian Palace to have a look, and no one will be stupid enough to give up. Emperor Chu remembered the scene when they went to Zhantian Palace, and couldn't help but sigh, "Only those who have been to Zhantian Palace know what is the closest place to the gods, only know how small and unbearable we are, and know what reverence is." ”
