Origin Chapter 13 Letter from the North

The red wall and yellow roof of the imperial study room are placed against the wall, and there is a bookcase made of red sandalwood against the wall, and the bookcase is naturally full of books.

When you enter the door, you can see a golden plaque with four large black characters written on it: "Zhongzheng Renhe".

Beneath the plaque is a yellow screen, in front of which is a table with a fold.

Zhu Tian sat upright on the chair with yellow cushions between the screen and the table.

Seeing Zhu Tian, Qiao Feng bowed and bowed: "See Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Tian put down his hand and said to Qiao Feng: "No courtesy." ”

Later, he said to an ordinary-looking young man beside him: "Sun Qi, you let them all retreat." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty. Although this man named Sun Qi was dressed as a eunuch, he did not have the unique temperament of a eunuch, but was very masculine, and it was obvious that his treasure was still there.

Sun Qi said a few words in the ear of a true eunuch, and the palace maids and eunuchs who served and the guards guarding outside the door went to the side hall one after another, and only Zhu Tian, Qiao Feng, and Sun Qi were left in the room.

Zhu Tian wrapped a letter on the table with spiritual power, causing it to float in front of Qiao Feng.

Qiao Feng took the letter, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the mottled black dots on it, his pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't know how many lives he had walked under his hands, and at a glance he knew that this was a trace of human blood after coagulation.

Zhu Tian saw Qiao Feng take the letter and said: "This letter was sent by General Saibei Wu, and the messenger was also a master of the butterfly transformation period who had just entered the Xuan Realm, but he was attacked on the road, and he escaped with his last breath with a secret method, and after handing over the letter and this wheat seedling to the commander of the Yangtze River Water Army, he died suddenly. You look at what's inside. ”

Qiao Feng opened the folded letter paper, glanced at it line by line, and every time he swept one more line, his face became solemn.

Until he finished reading the last word, he suddenly looked up at the Holy King and said loudly: "They dare, Lao Tzu's account back then has not been settled with the little kid who jumped the big rope, he planned this matter completely." ”

The Holy King got up from his seat, gently rolled up his sleeves, walked to the window, turned his back to Qiao Feng, looked at the sun in the sky, and said, "I can't make up my mind so early, I also went to see the body of the messenger, although the dart embedded in the body, with a diamond film layer at the tip, seems to point very clearly. ”

At this time, the Holy King turned around, looked at Qiao Feng and continued: "But I felt a trace of the breath of the Western Desolation Demon Sect from the dart, so I didn't rush to fight first, and investigated to find out whether it was really like what General Wu said, whether there was really a situation in the Northern Desert, which would cause the Liao people to go to war with my Ming Dynasty." Don't let the old devil and the dead bald donkey in the West be yellow birds. ”

Saying that, the Holy King began to pace slowly, and continued: "This matter is very involved, there seems to be a shadow of shaman sacrifice in it, and I want to sit on the Ming Dynasty and can't pull away, that you also know his temper, he has stayed there for fifteen years, and no one can say that he can't move him." ”

Zhu Tian put down the book he picked up while pacing, looked at Qiao Feng seriously, and squeezed his sword eyebrows slightly into the middle: "So I want you to go to the Northern Desert to investigate alone, with your cultivation in the early stage of the Ming Dao, even if that old boy makes a move, he may not be able to keep you." ”

Qiao Feng frowned when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I will set off for the Northern Desert after the first day of April." ”

When the Holy King heard this, he also agreed very much, and said, "Well, the matter of the Cliff Sutra Pavilion is also sloppy, so let's wait for the first day of the fourth month." ”

After Qiao Feng left the imperial study, Zhu Tian pinched the wheat seedlings that Qiao Feng had placed on the third floor of the bookshelf before leaving, and held them in the palm of his hand.

Just looking at this green plant, Zhu Tian didn't know whether to ask Sun Qi, who had been standing silently beside him, or to ask himself again, "Is it his calculation, or am I really wrong." ”

Unlike the slaughter of the imperial city, the atmosphere at No. 14 Fengtian Street in the southern city is lively, and a teenager, a girl, and a child are busy brewing drunk peach blossoms.

Yu Hao and Ren Ji were chopping firewood there, while Qiao Tiantian watched the small-eyed black-clothed young man work, and a smile appeared on his face.

"What are you smirking at, don't you know how to do magic, come and help me get the water from the bottom of the well into this thick pipe. Yu Hao popped out such a sentence, which directly shattered the girl's idea that Yu Hao was a little handsome.

Qiao Tiantian looked at the one in front of her curiously, inserted into the hole of the pot lid, and the end of the thin bamboo pole pierced from a very thick wooden pipe, and asked, "What is this?"

Yu Hao heard this: "This is a distillation device, as long as you send the water to that thick wooden pipe and change the water regularly, he can turn the steamed things into peach blossom water." ”

Speaking of this, Yu Hao secretly admired Zhao Li in his heart, and he could come up with a condenser in the context of this era, and when he saw Zhao Li brewing drunk peach blossoms at the beginning, Yu Hao thought that Zhao Li was a traverser.

Qiao Tiantian's eyes widened and asked, "It's so magical, I'll try it." After saying that, he drew a column of water directly from the well in the backyard and poured it into the thick wooden pipe.

As soon as the cold well water entered the pipe, I saw that the end of the thin bamboo pipe, which was still bubbling with a trace of white gas, began to drip water droplets.

"Hey, hey, fun, fun. After that, Qiao Tiantian changed the water and played for an afternoon, not feeling that she had become a coolie for a treacherous teenager.

In the next ten days, Yu Hao and Ren Ji sold wine in addition to making wine, during which Qiao Tiantian also came to the drunken tavern to taste the quick finished product of the drunken peach blossoms brewed by Yu Hao, and came to a conclusion: This wine is so sweet, sweet to the bottom of my heart.

But she didn't go back after staying drunk for a long time, and no one noticed whether a tear was shed on the way from the drunken tavern to Qiao's mansion.

In the blink of an eye, it is March 31, and in the past ten days, it can be clearly felt that there are more people in Chang'an City, and the reputation of the intoxicating tavern is also getting bigger and bigger.

From time to time, you can hear someone walking past the Tavern of Intoxication: "The wine in this tavern is really a special taste." ”

But these passers-by won't know that this summer because of this tavern, the price of peaches in Chang'an City has doubled.

The reason why the Holy City of Chang'an is becoming more and more lively is precisely because the assessment of the Jing Pavilion and the cliff will be opened tomorrow.

The entire Ming Dynasty came to Chang'an at this time, some may have come to participate in the assessment, but most of them did come to see the excitement.

This also led to a teenager who got into the eye of money, counting gold coins to a child all night long.

If there were still people in this drunken tavern after closing, they would have heard a voice coming from a room on the second floor: "One, two, three ......"

On the evening of the 31st, although Yu Hao planned to participate in the assessment tomorrow, the temptation of money prompted him to give up rest, prepare to hang up the lantern, and continue to open and do business as he did a few nights ago.

Just when he saw that the sky was dark and was about to light the candle, a mischievous voice came from the door: "Yu Hao, you accompany this girl to a party tonight." ”

Yu Hao looked at the door, it was Qiao Tiantian, who was dressed in a green shirt and white skirt, and dangled a jade bracelet, which was particularly moving.

But Yu Hao just glanced at it and continued to light the candle, and said impatiently: "You want to go by yourself, don't you see that I'm still busy." ”

Qiao Tiantian didn't get angry when she heard this, and drank: "Yu Hao, you bastard, how many people invite me, I didn't agree, Miss Ben came to you in person, and you still don't appreciate it." ”

Qiao Tiantian's voice frightened some of the guests who were drinking, and even one person was shocked when he didn't hold the wine bowl steadily, and the wine bowl fell to the ground with a crisp sound, leaving only fragments and a place of wine, which attracted everyone to see.

That person wanted to spit out the fragrance, as soon as he saw Qiao Tiantian's clothes and dress, he immediately stopped talking, Yu Hao saw this scene, and hurriedly smiled: "This guest officer, are you okay, the small shop is not well entertained, forgive me, I will give you another pot of wine, you see how this matter is over." ”

The man was also a good talker, and nodded, and it was fine.

Yu Hao stabilized the customer, turned his face and looked at Qiao Tiantian seriously: "You are also a young lady from a big family, so ignorant, say I'm busy, you can go by yourself." ”

Seeing Yu Hao's expression, Qiao Tiantian felt a little aggrieved in her heart, and her eyes turned red: "You murder me, if it weren't for my father asking me to come to you, I wouldn't have come." ”

When Yu Hao heard this, he looked at the poor girl in front of him, shook his head helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, it's okay if I'm wrong, since Uncle Qiao wants me to go, then I'll accompany you on a trip." ”

When the girl heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "Daddy is right, as long as you pretend to be pitiful, you will definitely go." ”

Yu Hao sighed in his heart, these two fathers and daughters are really superb, but they have no choice but to promise others, so he looked at Qiao Tiantian and asked, "Can you take Ren Ji there?"

Qiao Tiantian shook her head and said, "No, I want an invitation to the party tonight, and my father only gave me two." ”

When Yu Hao heard this, he had to say to Ren Ji: "Ren Ji, my brother is going to a party, you will help your brother look at the store." ”

Ren Ji nodded and did not speak.

Seeing Ren Ji nodding, Yu Hao shouted to the store: "Everyone, everyone, I have some things to deal with today, so I won't accept new customers, everyone will finish eating, just pay the money to the baby." As he spoke, Yu Hao pointed to Ren Ji who was sitting at the counter.

After arranging things, Yu Hao walked out of the tavern, stretched his waist outside, looked at Qiao Tiantian inside the door, and said, "Say, where to go." ”

Qiao Tiantian frowned and looked at Yu Hao, and said, "Are you going to wear like this?"

Yu Hao looked at himself and replied indifferently: "Otherwise, I just have these two sets of clothes and they are like this." ”

Qiao Tiantian understood, and without saying a word, he pulled Yu Hao into the carriage with the Qiao character cloth flag parked at the door of the drunken heart, and went out of Fengtian Street and onto Suzaku Avenue.

Yu Hao was pulled into the carriage and hurriedly said, "Where are you going to take me!"

Qiao Tiantian replied angrily: "Go buy clothes." ”

Yu Hao frowned and said, "Why do you want to buy clothes, am I not handsome?"

Speaking of this, Yu Hao stretched out the tip of his tongue and licked his mouth: "Besides, how expensive it is to buy clothes!"

Qiao Tiantian directly gave Yu Hao a roll of his eyes and said, "Don't spend your money, I'll buy it for you." ”

Yu Hao smiled when he heard this: "That's so embarrassing, I thanked Miss Qiao first." ”

Yu Hao said that he was embarrassed, but the expression on his face made Qiao Tian speechless.

If you let her know again, Yu Hao thought silently in her heart: "Well, this can be regarded as a reward for accompanying her to the party, it should not violate the old theory of cause and effect." "I'm afraid that the boy's face will ache again.

Along the way, Qiao Tiantian would poke out of the carriage from time to time to see if there were any good clothing stores around.

In the end, not long after entering the so-called rich area, Yu Hao was given a black gold silk moire wide-sleeved robe.

As the saying goes: "People rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and dogs run with bells."

This Yu Hao may be the dog with a bell, he looks good when he wears a black robe, and his temperament is also temperamental, if he really wears a folding fan, he really looks like an elegant scribe.

It's just that the change of clothes came out and staggered blindly, and kept saying, "Look at me, how handsome I am." "Isn't it like a dog with a bell?

Yu Hao didn't know how much money it cost, Qiao Tiantian settled the account when he came out of the dress, if he knew that it took a hundred gold coins to buy this dress, he didn't know if he would come back and secretly return the clothes.

After the excitement passed, Yu Hao put the old clothes on the stool in the carriage, and said to Qiao Tiantian: "Where are we going now?"

Qiao Tiantian put on a flushed face when Yu Hao came out of changing clothes, and said, "Tea." ”

A carriage with a banner of Qiao Zi stopped in front of the Xiangming Gate, and got out of the car, a young man in a black robe and a girl in a green shirt and a white skirt.

This is Yu Hao's third time coming to Xiangtea, but this time the maid led them to the second floor, which means that Yu Hao will really see another world under the same city for the first time.
