Chapter 51: The Eldest Sister (2)
Xue Xiangsong glanced at the solemn Bodhisattva sculpture of Baoxiang, and quickly whipped into the palace, and the little eunuch opened the thick vermilion door of the imperial study and led Xue Xiangsong in.
His Majesty the Emperor has an order, Xue Xiangsong enters the palace to face the saint, but he can enter directly without notifying.
At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was squatting on the ground, looking at a team of ants in front of him with great interest, carrying a piece of lost pastry, after the spring rain, the wind blowing from the south swept the land, the weather was getting warmer and warmer, in addition to the wild geese returning from the north, the ants that had been hiding for a winter also came out.
"Weichen knocks to see Your Majesty!" Xue Xiangsong said softly.
"Well, here you are. Li Yuanhao got up, rubbed his knees, and bypassed a team of ants: "How about the things that asked you to check?"
"I've found out where Lord Ding lived. Xue Xiangsong said.
"Wait a while, don't say it yet, let me guess, is it a courtyard, there are all kinds of people living in it, there is a big vat in the yard, the tank is full of water, there are two fish swimming in the water, Ding Yi lives in the east house, there is a pomegranate tree in front of the door, in the autumn, the tree is full of big and sweet pomegranates, the children in the courtyard are not honest, often steal food, Ding Yi prepared a stick, lying on the windowsill, and give him a stick if he catches it...... Isn't that right?" Li Yuanhao described the imaginary comfortable scene, and his heart yearned.
Xue Xiangsong shook his head and said in a low voice, "Lord Ding lives in the Salesian Bureau. ”
"Salesian Bureau, what is the Salesian Bureau?" asked Li Yuanhao.
"Salesian Bureau...... Be...... A place to adopt orphans. Xue Xiangsong said.
His Majesty the Emperor didn't know a lot of things, but she knew what it meant to be an orphan, and when she heard Xue Xiangsong's answer, Li Yuanhao was stunned, and sighed softly: "Where is the Salesian Bureau?"
"Chenghuang Temple in the north of the city. ”
"Well, I know, you go down first. Li Yuanhao instructed, and when she was the only one left in the imperial study, she ripped open the buttons in her neck, and her whole body was hot and uncomfortable, this damn nasty weather: "Yu Qing, Yu Qing, where is the death, prepare the car, go to the north of the city!"
A carriage galloped out of the palace and rushed towards the north of the city, the children of the Salesian Bureau had never seen such a gorgeous carriage, and they had never seen such a beautiful person, their little heads lying behind the door frame, their clothes were patched, and a pair of pitiful bright eyes looked at Li Yuanhao timidly.
Li Yuanhao also looked at the Salesian Bureau, the City God Temple was rebuilt, the strange thing is that the City God Temple is not dedicated to the land prince, but Guanyin Master, the left hand is in the shape of a flower, the right hand is dragging the water purification bottle, bowing his head and looking down compassionately, due to disrepair, it is so dilapidated that he has lost one ear, and the appearance is a bit funny.
Turning his head and rubbing his eyes, to calm down, Li Yuanhao stepped in.
Confucius Buddha stepped into the mountain forest, his feet stepped on the new green grass that had just emerged, making a rustling sound, he could feel Ding Yi's breath, not far from him, but the other party's ability to hide his breath was first-class, as thin as a gossamer, if it was immediately appeared, as if deliberately luring Confucius Buddha into the trap.
Sneered all his life, what if it was a trap, the academy had the ability to break all the games laid by that kid.
Youyou sighed, Kong Dao Buddha's heart moved slightly, the Holy Father should not keep that scourge, he should have killed Kong Qingyu back then, the Holy Father has the Heavenly Decree in hand, that is, he is executing the Heavenly Dao. Kong Feicarp, the fish that slipped through the net, has now become the Holy Duke of Yan in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and now this situation is a headache, in the final analysis, the Holy Father is still too benevolent.
Kong Qingyu was robbed, the soldiers of the Sage Academy were divided into three ways, respectively to the east, to the west, to the north, the academy enshrined all the way to the west, at dawn on the second day, it has been speculated that the other party deliberately went west, confusing the audio-visual, Kong Dao Buddha looked at Ding Yi to leave clues that seemed to be provoking, furious, retreated the others, and chased one person up, vowing to crush the kid to ashes, cramps and peel the skin.
Ding Yi stood on top of the tree trunk, squinting his eyes, quietly waiting for the Buddha to walk into the trap, one step, two steps, three steps, four steps...... The feet of the Buddha of Confucius fell on an ordinary lawn, and he suddenly stopped his steps, stepped on it, and the blue cloth shoes lit that place.
Ding Yi sighed in his heart that it was a pity, the great worshipper of the academy had already sensed the trap and deliberately did not step on it.
Kong Dao Buddha raised his head and glanced around, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was saying to Ding Yi: "Boring!" and then stepped on it heavily.
Whoosh, the sound of breaking the air was heard in the air, and twenty-four crossbow arrows formed a circle, piercing the body of the Buddha of the Hole Dao.
The great worshipper of the academy glanced around, snorted coldly, and was too lazy to knock out the crossbow arrows like flying locusts, standing in place, letting the crossbow arrows pierce them, ding dong dong, ding dong dong, the crossbow arrows shot on the body, as if shooting on metal, twenty-four crossbow arrows fell to the ground one after another, and the arrows were bent.
Gently slapping his clothes, Kong Daofo stepped forward again: "You should be proud, you can die in the hands of the old man, you deserve to die." ”
Ding Yi held his breath, pulled the bow like a full moon, the tip of the arrow locked the eyebrows of the Buddha of Kongdao, a gust of wind blew, and the branches of the tree on which Ding Yi stood swayed with the wind, and he was like a boat in the waves, flowing with the waves.
"Let the old man guess, who are you, a spy in Western Chu? Unlikely, there are a total of five states in Western Chu, Zhuge Wei I am not a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble, and the person sent by the Xiongnu Zhongxingshu is also unlikely, Daliang and the Xiongnu are separated by the Northern Wei Dynasty, a thankless thing, Zhongxingshu will not do, so you are a spy of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and saving Kong Qingyu is worthy of a clever move, which can tie up Kong Feili and weaken the Sage Academy, killing two birds with one stone. But what if you save Kong Qingyu, what about your life? Is it more humble than Kong Qingyu? Is the Northern Wei Dynasty really worth your life?" Kong Dao Buddha opened his mouth to speak, but his feet kept stopping, and with a buzzing sound, two rows of bamboo rows with sharp branches stood up and slammed towards the academy.
The fists were clenched, the left and right bows were opened, there was a loud bang, two rows of bamboo rows were blown into powder, and before it stopped, an arm-thick arrow feather fell from the sky, piercing the heavenly spirit cover of the Buddha of Kongdao, and gently raised his fist to bombard the sky, and the indestructible arrow feather cracked inch by inch, turning into a piece of powder.
"Let's go!" Ding Yi seized the opportunity, and secretly shouted in his heart, the academy worship two punches in succession, and his breath was weak.
The crossbow arrow made a ripple of air in the air and shot at the center of the eyebrows of the Confucius Buddha, as long as it was solid, the great worship of the academy would be killed instantly.
"The grasshopper shakes the tree, it's pitiful!" Kong Daofo grabbed it with one hand, which seemed to be an understatement, but he grabbed the crossbow arrow in an instant, and looked in the direction where the crossbow arrow came, Ding Yi's figure loomed: "Caught you!"
Ding said: "Fried!"
The explosives tied to the crossbow arrows exploded in response, and there was a loud bang, and the smoke and dust filled in an instant, covering the figure of the Buddha of Kongdao. The explosives tied to the crossbow arrows are specially developed for Ding Yi at the sticky rod, wrapped in iron sheets on the outside, and mixed with explosives and sharp iron blocks inside, mixing and exploding, and the power is doubled.
Ding Yi didn't dare to be careless, after all, the academy worship was not a small shrimp and a small crab, jumping down from the trunk, Ding Yi possessed, rushed forward, and swam around along the center of the explosion, and at the same time kept pulling the bow and shooting arrows in his hands, piercing the Confucius Buddha until the arrow box behind him was empty.
Looking at the empty Salesian Bureau, Li Yuanhao felt inexplicably uncomfortable, the empty yard was extremely depressed, a black swing in the distance was fluttering in the wind, and there was a bluestone slab under the eaves, and there were mud of various shapes lying on the stone slab, needless to say, it was one of the few toys for children.
The steward of the Salesian Bureau was an old woman, with gray hair, and her clothes were not much better than those of the children, but she was clean and tidy, and Li Yuanhao naturally felt close.
The old woman from the Salesian Bureau brought a stool and wiped the surface of the stool with her sleeve: "Childe, please take a seat." ”
Li Yuanhao sat down and was silent for a moment: "Do you know Ding Yi?"
The old woman's face showed a hint of brightness: "Childe must have said that it was Ding Xiaozi, it was the old man who pulled him up." Hey, my father and mother died early, and I somehow came to this Salesian Bureau alone, it was snowing in the winter, the weather was freezing, and the little guy had no shoes to wear, standing at the door, holding a big broken bowl for begging, peeking inside, but he didn't dare to come in. That's right, that's it. The steward pointed to the broken door of the Salesian Bureau and shook his head: "I don't know how he survived, he was weak and small at the time, and his arm was not as thick as a branch, but this child has a hard life, that is, he survived, and he is more tenacious than anyone else. I have never seen such a strange child, he can't cry, he can only laugh, and he has a bright smile for everyone. ”
"Do you know where Ding Yi went?" Li Yuanhao was uncomfortable, and his heart seemed to be grabbed fiercely.
The old woman shook her head: "I don't know, the old man doesn't even know what this kid does, he never says, every month before sending money, write a letter, report safety, this kid doesn't know how to read, can only write one or two words, and can't write well, crooked, not good-looking." The other children left the Salesian Bureau and left, never coming back, never bringing the letter back, the old man does not blame them, after all, life here is not good, it is all pain, and it is rare to get like Ding Xiaozi. By the way, Childe, do you know what Ding Boy does?"
"He, doing business, a small business, going back and forth all day long, non-stop, and told me to come and see, I was busy a few days ago, and I couldn't take a break, so I just came, I'm sorry Ding Yi. Li Yuanhao lied.
"Where is the childe, if you don't come, you should be, and if you come, you are benevolent. Hey, Ding Xiaozi didn't lie to the old man. He also said that he was in business and traveled from south to north, and he thought he was old, but it turned out to be true. The old woman smiled with satisfaction, and couldn't help sighing: "No, the next time I see him, the old man will teach him a lesson, a person needs money the most outside, and don't send money every month in the future." ”
"Does he send a lot of money?" Li Yuanhao asked, on the way north, Ding Yi was going to die, and he couldn't get used to Wen Zhiqian's luxurious life, and when he saw Wen Zhiqian's extravagance and waste, Ding Yi always snorted coldly, as if Wen Zhiqian had robbed him of his money.
"A lot, a lot every month. The old woman spoke, and suddenly lowered her voice: "If the Salesian Bureau is full of healthy and ordinary children, this money is enough, but, childe, you know, good children, which parents are willing to discard, are not very good children, very pitiful, so ...... The money given by Ding Boy is a little stretched. ”
Suddenly, a girl with pigtails ran towards Li Yuanhao, such a beautiful person, she wanted to hug her, she had endured it for a long time just now.
The old woman grabbed the girl's arm and smiled apologetically at Li Yuanhao: "The child is not sensible, don't be surprised by the child." Then she pointed to the girl, with a cold face, and gestured twice, the girl was deaf and could not hear the sound, and could only communicate through sign language, and finally the old woman pointed to the corner of the wall not far away, and the girl burst into tears, but she still obediently went to the punishment station and thought about it in front of the wall.
"It's okay, don't blame her. Li Yuanhao stretched out his hand and waved at the girl.
The girl looked at the old woman, the old woman smiled, and made a gesture of "whatever you want", the girl's little face was excited, and she threw herself into Li Yuanhao's arms.
"Oh, you're so energetic. Li Yuanhao was knocked and stumbled, picked up the girl, put it on his lap, and pinched the girl's face.
The girl hugged Li Yuanhao's neck, and her two little legs swayed in the air, so unexpected.
"The son has already married a wife?" the old woman said, Li Yuanhao's way of holding the child is naturally skillful, but it is not something that a pampered and powerful son can do.
"I have a younger brother at home, and my father and mother left early, and I have always brought him up. Li Yuanhao said.
"It's not easy, it's not easy. The old woman sighed with emotion: "Wait a minute, the old man will make you a pot of tea." After a pause, she added: "It's the good tea brought by Ding Xiaozi, what is it called Da Hong Pao, it was he who went to the grassland to run a business some time ago, and asked for it from a big boss named Wen Zhiqian. ”
After a while, the old woman came out with a pot of tea and poured a cup for Li Yuanhao.
Yu Qing watched His Majesty the Emperor, who was obsessive-compulsive with cleanliness, pick up the cup and take a sip, the old woman may have been afraid of snubbing Li Yuanhao, so she added more tea, which tasted bitter and bitter, which was a waste of Lingnan's famous tea.
"Good tea!" Li Yuanhao said with emotion, drank it thoroughly in one gulp, and handed over the cup "shamelessly": "Can you have another cup?"
"Okay, okay, of course. The wrinkles on the old woman's face were stretched, and she poured a full cup: "As long as the son doesn't dislike it." ”
Li Yuanhao took another drink and looked up at the sky: "Ding Yi, what are you doing at the moment?...... Sister has prepared a prince with a different surname for you, and will give you the title of ****, which is more majestic than Xiuce...... Sister will also prepare a big house for you, take you and the children over, make two swings, and plant a pomegranate tree...... On the way to the Huns, don't let you call me sister, it's my sister's fault, I'll compensate you here, don't hold a grudge......"
The emperor of the Northern Wei Dynasty chattered, and farther away, the sky was blue and spotless.
