【V276】The Mystery of the Underground Palace, the Sawyer Tribe 3
"Patriarch, they've all arrived. ”
Chao Dongshu put down the wine glass he was playing with in his hand, his thick and short eyebrows shrugged, and a cold light flashed under his eyes, but he got up and said with a smile: "Go, the patriarch will personally go outside the door to greet them." ”
"That Miss Wen and Nan Gongzi can be greeted by the patriarch in person, it is simply a blessing that they have cultivated for several lifetimes, I hope they can know the good and the bad, otherwise don't blame the patriarch for being unkind to them. Situ Zhiyi can be said to be clear in front of Chao Dongshu, and he doesn't have to worry about the horse's hooves at all.
Sure enough, Chao Dongshu, who listened to Situ Zhiyi's words, had more smiles on his face, and obviously felt very comfortable, that yellow-haired girl and that yellow-haired boy could be greeted by him in person, but it was not a blessing that they had cultivated for several lifetimes.
If he had done all this, and they did not know what to do, even if he had done something to them, then he would have followed the will of Heaven, and no one could blame him.
"The patriarch really didn't see that your kid's mouth is getting better and better at talking. ”
"This is all thanks to the teachings of the patriarchs. ”
"Hehe, you kid is picking up what the patriarch likes to hear?"
"No, no, how dare my subordinates deceive the patriarch. ”
"Actually, even if you don't think so in your kid's heart, the patriarch won't blame you, who told you that what you just said is exactly what the patriarch wants. As the words fell, Chao Dongshu raised his head high, laughed and walked out of the gilded hall, the laughter as loud as thunder, couldn't help but alarm the eldest elder and the third elder who were talking in the side room next door.
The two old fellows, you look at me, I look at you, and as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding, they walked out of the room with a question mark on their heads and headed towards the main hall.
"Hahaha......"
The louder and more cheerful Chao Dongshu laughed, the more cold sweat broke out on Situ Zhiyi's head, and the more bottomless his heart became, he tried hard to recall what he had just said, and the more he thought about it, the tighter his brows wrinkled, until his face turned red, and he didn't come up with a reason.
What the hell did he say?
What did he say that was exactly what the patriarch wanted?
"Damn, why is he so bad. Situ Zhiyi cursed in a low voice, raised his hand and slapped his mouth, gritted his teeth with hatred and said: "What should I do, should he become a pawn for the patriarch to calculate some people!"
When this thought came to mind, Situ Zhiyi was stupid, what kind of errand did he have, he didn't have to die in it.
It's a shame that the chief guard still says that he envies him, is there anyone he envy like that?
"Chief Situ Guard, what are you thinking, don't you hurry up and keep up, do you have to ask the patriarch to stop and wait for you?" Just a second before he was about to step out of the gate, Chao Dongshu suddenly stopped, turned his head and glanced at Situ Zhiyi with compassion, giving people the feeling of being targeted by something dirty.
At this moment, he has the majesty and aura of the head of a clan, compared with the Chao Dongshu who went crazy and had a clear mind last night, it is obvious that he is the real him now.
"The subordinates should die, please punish the patriarch. Situ Zhiyi walked quickly to Chao Dongshu's side, and then knelt on one knee with his hands on the ground, just respectfully asking for punishment, without the slightest intention to explain.
"Oh, so what did you do wrong?"
"The subordinates are wrong, please punish the patriarch. "Can he say that he is standing there because he is wondering if he has become a pawn of the patriarch to calculate Concubine Mi and Nangong Xuelang?
No, he certainly can't say that.
So, silence is king.
"Sue the patriarch, what were you thinking just now, huh?" Although he is the head of a clan in the western tribe of Yuxi, if there is no reason for many years, he will definitely not punish people lightly, otherwise he would not have such a high status in the hearts of the people.
It is precisely because of the prestige he has accumulated that as long as he does not commit something irreversible, then in this tribe, there is absolutely no one who can replace him and become the new patriarch of the Yuxi tribe.
"Hui Patriarch's words, the subordinates were thinking just now that the chief guard has not come back yet, and I don't know if they have caught the person who played Gu on the patriarch last night. ”
I have to say that Situ Zhiyi is a very wise person, he shifted the topic quite cleverly, and it was very successful that Chao Dongshu gave up continuing to ask him what he was thinking just now, and shifted his attention to Uncle Liuchen.
Yes, if there is anything Chao Dongshu cares about now besides making Concubine Mi and Nangong Xuelang pay a little price, it is undoubtedly the person who unknowingly tricked him last night.
Since that person dared to play tricks on him, then he had to be prepared to be arrested and tortured by him until he died miserably.
"Do you think the chief guard caught it or not?"
"This... This subordinate doesn't know. Pulling his cuffs and wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, Situ Zhiyi really had no choice, blame the patriarch for asking this question too tricky.
How did he answer this, as if it was wrong for him to say that he was caught or not, it would be better to reward him with a whip.
Although the witch doctor didn't say it explicitly, judging from his demeanor and expression, it was not easy to catch the person who had fallen into the Gu.
In this way, even if Uncle Tai's chief guard goes out in person, he may not be able to catch the Gu person in one fell swoop, right?
"You're being honest. ”
"No matter how many eyes of the subordinates are, the extra eyes are also for the sake of being able to do things better for the patriarch, but they are not used to show off in front of the patriarch. ”
"Hehe..."
...... "If you laugh, then he must have escaped this fate!"
"This patriarch likes you like this, good, good. ”
"It is the honor of subordinates to be loyal to the patriarch. ”
"Okay, don't say you're curious
"Okay, don't say you're curious about whether the chief guard chief has caught that Gu person, even the patriarch is quite curious. ”
"That ......"
"In a moment, you can find an opportunity to arrange for someone to find the chief guard and ask him how the situation is on his side?"
"Yes. ”
"Now you put away those thoughts that you shouldn't have at this time for the patriarch, follow the patriarch well, and protect the safety of the patriarch. ”
"Yes. ”
Heh――
"What's making you laugh?"
Concubine Mi gently hooked the corners of her mouth, glanced at Nangong Xuelang, and said in a cold voice: "Miss Ben can laugh if she wants to, Nangongzi doesn't feel that she is a little wide?"
There is no law that says that when she hears something funny, she needs to say it so that everyone can laugh along!
"Ahem, I didn't mean anything else. Nangong Xuelang twitched the corners of his mouth with a black line, he was really a little speechless by Jian Wu and Red Sleeves, and he also felt extraordinarily innocent!
You can't hate him for the rest of your life because of his carelessness once!
If he knew that he would accidentally touch the mechanism, then he would never risk taking that step, hey, what is called a misstep into a thousand hatreds, especially now he has a little experience.
He wanted to yell at Concubine Mi with a lot of confidence: Take care of your maid, don't look at the master like this, the master will think that they are in love with him.
Imagination is beautiful, reality is cruel.
At least before leaving Liujin Island, Nangong Xuelang didn't want to have an argument with Concubine Mi, or even to the point of parting ways.
Even after leaving, before arriving on that continent, he never thought about going away separately from Concubine Mi, as if he could only go there if he followed Concubine Mi.
Even if the chance of him following Concubine Mi to that continent was only two or three out of ten, he wanted to gamble.
After all, it was his lifelong dream to go to that continent, and it was also his promise to that person.
"Actually, Miss Ben is laughing at something, and you can't sue you. Thinking of what she heard, the conversation between Chao Dongshu and Situ Zhiyi, Concubine Mi suddenly laughed out loud for some reason.
Last night, Nangong Xuelang sneaked into Jinnan Courtyard, the purpose was not to assassinate Chao Dongshu at all, but he was regarded by Chao Dongshu as an assassin to assassinate him, and he really looked up to himself, and he took himself too seriously.
In fact, Nangong Xuelang didn't take him seriously at all, and the reason why he sneaked into Chao Dongshu's courtyard was that he was afraid that he was specifically going to something in that room.
It's just that even Nangong Xuelang himself didn't know that he would accidentally find a tunnel.
As for the person who unknowingly gave Chao Dongshu a trick, Concubine Mi said that she was also quite curious about who the other party was, and she actually took half of the suspicion for them without a book, which made her hesitate if she needed to say 'thank you' to that person.
"Forget it, I still don't know. ”
"Why?"
"No, why. He wanted to know, would she just say it?
"You really don't want to know?"
"I don't want to. ”
"Tsk, if you don't want to know, forget it, Miss Ben can save some saliva. ”
The corners of Nangong Xuelang's eyes jumped, the corners of his mouth twitched, he pressed the black line on his head, and said sincerely: "I want to know, is Miss Wen annoying me to sue me?"
"What do you guess I'm laughing at?" squinted her eyes, Concubine Mi's tone was three points with a smile, and seven points was deliberately naughty.
“……”
Guess?
If he could guess her thoughts, he guessed that the sun would have to come out in the west!
In this world, how many people can guess her Concubine Wen Mi's thoughts?
This girl is clearly fixing him, which makes him grit his teeth with hatred, and he can't do anything about her.
"What's the matter, Nan Gongzi is angry?"
"Nope. ”
"I hope it really doesn't. ”
"Miss Wen is angry, but the little one doesn't have the courage yet. ”
Unexpectedly, Concubine Mi glanced at Nangong Xuelang with a strange expression, but said seriously: "Whether it is before or after the separation, Miss Ben's ranking is not ranked first?"
Poof――
Hearing this, Nangong Xuelang was directly injured internally, and he was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood.
With a black face, he quickened his pace and walked forward, he really didn't want to talk to Concubine Mi anymore, he was worried that if he continued to talk to her, he would definitely be angry with her.
This girl was born to restrain him!
"Miss, you're awesome. Seeing that Nangong Xuelang was so angry that she almost ran away, the excitement of the red sleeves was simply beyond words.
"Miss is amazing. ”
"Sword dance, you also join in the fun. Concubine Mi glanced at the two girls behind her funny, she just made a joke with Nangong Xuelang, and never thought that he would react so much.
Jian Wu covered his lips and smiled, and only said after a while: "Miss, my subordinates just think that he has bad intentions for following Miss, so he was angry with Miss, and of course his subordinates are happy." ”
Compared with the prince of Chu Xuan, this peerless king is simply too bad, she doesn't like to say it, and she is inexplicably a little annoying.
"The peerless king of the Mengluo country, you must be talented and talented, you must have a good look, and his temperament is even more unique and extraordinary, you two don't both belong to the appearance association, why don't you treat him so much?"
"Hmph, King Wushuang is good-looking, but compared to the prince of King Chu Xuan, he is far behind?"
The red sleeves fell, and the sword danced and said: "Even if he is in front of the prince of Chu Xuan, he is also inferior by three points." ”
"Hee-ran. "Nangong Xuerumbi
Nangong Xuelang is three points inferior to Mo Yanlai?
Concubine Mi smiled, her bustle was the best.
Her bustle is also unparalleled.
Where are you?
You know, I miss you.
"It's all your fault, it's not good to mention anyone, it's ...... to mention"
"If you don't say it, why do you blame me. Red Sleeves tore off Jian Wu's hand and retorted with a red face, she didn't mean to mention the prince of Chu Xuan.
"Miss, he must be safe and sound, just wait for Miss to reunite with him. ”
"yes, yes. ”
Thinking of Concubine Mi, who was silent, she fell into her own thoughts again unconsciously, and she didn't respond to Sword Dance and Red Sleeves for a long time, and the two girls were as anxious as anything.
"Miss, we were wrong. ”
"What is wrong with you, my Xiran is the best in the world. Concubine Mi flicked her fingers on the head of the sword dance red sleeves, and said angrily and playfully.
"We evoked the sad things of the young lady. ”
Concubine Mi shook her head with a smile, and said softly: "Sad? No, I don't have anything sad, thinking of Xiran doesn't make me sad, but my heart is full, because I miss him, so even if I have to endure loneliness and longing, I am actually happy." ”
For Concubine Mi's words, the sword dance red sleeves can't understand it yet, but looking at the gentle smile on Concubine Mi's face and listening to her gentle voice, they know that their young lady is really good, so the heart that mentions the throat and eyes finally fell to the ground safely.
"Patriarch Chao actually came out to greet him in person, which is really surprising to my son?"
"Nan Gongzi and Miss Wen are distinguished guests from afar in my western Yuxi region, and the patriarch naturally wants to come to greet them in person. Chao Dongshu didn't seem to hear the ridicule in Nangong Xuelang's words, and greeted Nangong Xuelang with a smile on his face.
The reading in my heart is, stinky boy, if the patriarch doesn't bother with you as a yellow-mouthed child, he will make you proud again.
"It's really an honor to be the guest of the Chao patriarch. Nangong Xuelang smiled gently, and the whole person seemed to be wearing a warm and friendly mask, as if even the ice and snow breath that seeped out of his bones was completely hidden.
"Nan Gongzi, is this still thinking about two years ago?"
"What happened two years ago, what happened two years ago?" Don't think that if you dig a pit, my son will honestly jump in.
"It's nothing special, the patriarch knows that Nan Gongzi is a broad-minded person who doesn't hold grudges, and since it's a thing of the past, forget about it, forget about it. "Stinky boy, the patriarch could have killed you two years ago, and he can do it two years later.
"This son has always been like this, and the patriarch of Lao Chao has been thinking about it all the time. "Old thing, this son has always pursued the practice of coming and not being rude, and the shame you have inflicted on this son will be washed away with your blood.
We'll see.
"Are we really the distinguished guests of the Chao Patriarch?" Concubine Mi took advantage of Chao Dongshu's conversation with Nangong Xuelang, stood aside and carefully observed Chao Dongshu for a while, and sure enough, she found a problem with him.
Tsk, if it weren't for the fact that her mind wasn't on him last night, she would have discovered that Chao Dongshu had Gu on his body.
The person who played Gu was a master of playing Gu, but the person who solved Gu had a lot of skills, interesting, really interesting.
It seems that there are more secrets hidden in this Yuxi tribe than she imagined, and it also makes her want to find out more.
"A gentle and beautiful girl like Miss Wen can come to Liujin Island as a guest, of course, she is the honored guest of the patriarch. ”
Concubine Mi smiled, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she was very good-looking, however, her smile did not reach the bottom of her eyes, and sure enough, no matter where she was, there were countless people who opened their eyes and said nonsense.
She has a good memory, and she hasn't forgotten the look in her eyes when Chao Dongshu looked at her last night, and she clearly felt that she was ugly to death, why did she praise her as a 'gentle and beautiful girl' now?
"Is that Nan Gongzi too?"
"Of course. ”
"So, what does Patriarch Chao mean is that we are all your honored guests?"
After thinking about Concubine Mi's words carefully, Chao Dongshu didn't find any problems, so he nodded and said, "Miss Wen and Nan Gongzi are of course the honored guests of our entire Yuxi tribe. ”
"Hmm. After receiving such a positive answer, Concubine Mi nodded with considerable satisfaction, and then said in a brisk tone: "Then, tonight's dinner is the banquet that Patriarch Chao specially set up to apologize to us, after all, your actions last night really didn't have any hospitality!"
Chao Dongshu: "......"
Dare to say so much about her, just waiting for him here?
This damn yellow-haired girl, he must kill her, you fucking wait for the patriarch, wait......
Puff -
Nangong Xuelang really couldn't hold back and smiled.
The same was true of Yuan Li and Yuan Ping, who were following him, they forced their laughter, their faces flushed, and their shoulders trembled violently.
They really wanted to say to their prince: "Lord, do you see, what is called combat effectiveness, this is what Miss Wen is called." ”
Taking a deep breath, taking a deep breath, facing the smiling Concubine Mi, Chao Dongshu almost bit his big yellow teeth, he said: "Last night, it happened suddenly, it was indeed the patriarch who handled it rudely, and there were many offenses, and I hope that Miss Wen and Nan Gongzi will forgive me." ”
Nangong Xuelang and Concubine Mi glanced at each other, both of them were a little surprised, they didn't expect Chao Dongshu to apologize to them so happily.
"Tonight's dinner, one is to catch the wind for the two of you, and the other is to chat with the two of you to express the patriarch's apology to the two of you. ”
There is a way to reach out and not hit the smiling person, since the head of the family has put down the shelf and apologized to them, Concubine Mi can't continue to hold it, "Patriarch Chao is polite, did anything happen last night? Why doesn't Miss Ben remember." ”
As soon as he heard Concubine Mi's words, Chao Dongshu understood that she was
understood that she no longer cared about what happened last night, and her eyes were gentler when she looked at Concubine Mi.
"Well, I slept soundly last night, did anything happen?" Nangong Xuelang is also a person of the upper path, and he still disdains to compete with Chao Dongshu for the length of this time.
"Hehe, nothing happened last night. ”
"Patriarch Chao, I don't know when the dinner will start, I'm still hungry. ”
"Come, come, come, please, the dinner will start soon. ”
"Then I'll have to taste the food of your tribe. ”
"The patriarch has already ordered someone to prepare food and wine, let's not get drunk tonight, come, please inside." Chao Dongshu is not only heroic in his words, but also quite heroic in his behavior.
Concubine Mi's mind flipped, but she didn't break it, but echoed casually: "Please." ”
Following Chao Dongshu into the gilded hall, Concubine Mi and Nangong Xuelang inevitably had a simple greeting with the three elders of the Yuxi tribe, and then Chao Dongshu, who was the patriarch, stood in the first place and spoke, and then the dinner officially kicked off.
The same and then the same delicate dishes were served to the table by the maid, and the smell of the aroma felt that the taste should be good.
Again, Concubine Mi smelled a scent of wine with the aroma of various flowers, and if she expected, this wine must have been made from those wild flowers that grew on this golden island.
Even if Concubine Mi is not good at wine, she believes that tonight's wine is indeed a rare wine, and it is definitely the characteristic of Yuxi Tribe.
"I don't know what kind of wine this is, just smelling this wine, Miss Ben can't help but get drunk. ”
"Hehe... Miss Wen has to taste this wine, this patriarch dares to pack a ticket, except for the fact that we can drink such wine in our western Yuxi tribe, there is absolutely no other place. ”
"This wine is made from flowers?"
"Come, this patriarch will first give Nan Gongzi a cup. Chao Dongshu picked up the wine glass that the maid had just filled with wine, raised it to Nangong Xuelang very proudly, and then said: "This wine has been passed down from generation to generation by our tribe, which is to pick dozens of wild flowers and weeds that bloom on the island in summer, and then carefully brew it, not only the wine is intoxicating, but the taste of the wine is endless. ”
"That boy has to taste it. ”
"I wonder how much Miss Wen drinks?"
"Okay. ”
"That's good, this wine is not intoxicating, Miss Wen might as well taste it?"
"Okay, then this cup is Miss Ben's Jingchao Patriarch you. "Coming to the dinner, Concubine Mi didn't bring them with her, only sword dance and red sleeves.
The red sleeves approached the wine jug from the maid's hand, and then poured a glass of wine for Concubine Mi, Concubine Mi picked up the wine glass and raised it in the direction of Chao Dongshu, a coldness crossed her eyes like water, and then she hooked her lips and smiled lightly, is it really good to poison her in front of her?
Concubine Mi's expression changed for only a moment, but Nangong Xue Lang accurately captured it, and then his gaze fell on the wine glass in his hand, and a deep smile appeared on his handsome face, "Patriarch Chao, please." ”
"Nan Gongzi, Miss Wen, please. ”
The three of them raised their glasses and drank them all.
"On the song and dance. ”
The sound of silk and bamboo sounded slowly, and above the hall, a young woman in a dance dress began to dance, and Chao Dongshu enjoyed the dance while raising a glass to Concubine Mi and Nangong Xuelang from time to time.
The three elders sitting at the foot of the Chaodong tree, the second elder is still the old god, looking at the nose and the nose, as if he doesn't care about anything, and as if there is nothing worth seeing in his eyes, the big elder and the third elder who have been unstable in their hearts are looking at each other, secretly wondering how this plot is very different from what they imagined?
Is it because the atmosphere is so good now?
The two of them were confused and completely confused, could it be that the patriarch really figured it out, or did he have other calculations in his heart?
"Patriarch, did he really give up?" Xu was too sensitive, the third elder felt that happiness came too quickly, and it always felt unreal.
"Look at this scene, but the old man thinks it's impossible. ”
"Doesn't that mean you didn't say it, old man?"
"Hmph, you have a lot in your heart, but you want to ask the old man, what kind of heart do you have?"
The three elders were choked by the eldest elder, and immediately made a big red face, saying that although the third elder was not Chao Dongshu's mother, she also watched Chao Dongshu grow up, and even regarded Chao Dongshu as his own son in her heart, even if she didn't know his temperament very well, at least six or seven points.
Such a child who holds a grudge, he will definitely not swallow last night's breath lightly, but he is afraid that tonight's calm is just a façade.
"Oh no, that wine ......" suddenly thought of something, the third elder looked at the wine on the table of Concubine Mi and Nangong Xuelang with frightened eyes, and at the same time, the great elder also thought of this, the eyes of the two met in mid-air, and their backs couldn't help but sweat.
What to do?
How can they turn back to the situation they are in?
