9. New Chapter (2)

The next day, on the court of the Xuan Kingdom, Dugu Chengying was dressed in plain clothes and knelt on the hall with thorns on his back.

"The minister has come today to plead guilty. His usual aura of war is still the same, and the ministers are so frightened that they don't even dare to make a sound.

As soon as he came out like this, Dongfang Wubian really didn't expect it.

"What is Aiqing's crime?" Dongfang Wubian accompanied him to act in front of the ministers not once or twice.

"The minister is self-righteous, loves vanity, is so happy, shameless, forgets righteousness for profit, repays grievances with virtue, does not distinguish between right and wrong, is self-righteous, insidious and cunning, scheming, unscrupulous, ruthless, two-faced and three-stabbed, rampant, kills with a knife, and is domineering...... Please ask the king and the national teacher to punish the ministers severely in accordance with the laws of the country. ”

Where is he pleading guilty, he is clearly referring to Sang scolding Huai.

When Dongfang Wubian heard the tenth idiom, his eyes swept over the expressions of the ministers, and the words "not me" were written all over his face. But it was his national teacher, the queen's uncle, who was calm and composed.

"Alright, alright. He interrupted Dugu Chengying, who was still talking, "General Dugu has been sick for so long since his triumphant return to the dynasty, so he must be sick and confused and talking nonsense in this hall. Come, take him down. ”

Whenever Dongfang Wubian and Dugu Chengying discussed how to answer the court on the eve of the day, there was always one person who played his cards out of common sense, and the other party had to be fully prepared to adapt to the situation.

In this light and breezy Xuan Dynasty on the surface, I don't know how many unknown stories are hidden behind it.

When he was invited down by a few guards, he also took off the thorn stick.

Shen Tai, who was not far from the palace, hurriedly took a dark robe and put it on him.

Shen Tai is not as alert as Yan Shuang, and these things that take care of people have always been very decent and thoughtful.

"Hou Ye stays, the queen is invited. ”

On their way out of the palace, they were stopped by a maid.

"You're new here?" Dugu Chengying looked at her a little blindly.

"Wow. The maid kept her head down, waiting for Dugu Chengying to agree.

Although he was not close to women in the past, he had always been generous to the maids in the palace, and rarely embarrassed them, although the masters may not be very pleasing to them.

"Let's go. ”

Dugu Chengying and Shen Tai changed their route with the palace maid and went to Fenghuan Palace.

Fenghuan Palace, founded in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty in the East, has experienced five generations of emperors. This Fenghuan Palace is not too far away from the king's bedroom, only because the palace concubines have raised the prince, the queen insists on living here. She looked forward to the day when she could have a child of her own, whether it was a boy or a girl, it didn't matter.

After so many years, she almost forgot her original intention of choosing this place, and she has been concentrating on cultivation for ten years.

"Mother, the person has arrived. The new little maid merely led them to the door, and stood cautiously outside.

He was greeted by the queen's two personal maids, Enchanting and Concubine.

"Niangniang only invited Master Hou to go in alone, and asked Lord Shen to wait in the side hall. ”

The two women directly blocked Shen Tai's whereabouts, Dugu Chengying nodded, and he continued to wait at the door.

"I haven't seen my mother for months, don't come unharmed. ”

He privately exchanged military talismans with her, and when he was alone with the queen, he spoke like a comrade-in-arms.

He made an exception to seal Yan Ji and was promoted. Do you think Hongu should be good or bad?"

Dugu Chengying only learned the news before going out, and he was glad that he didn't show his stuffing.

"Since Niangniang is asking for a child, it is better to practice less. Dugu Chengying kindly persuaded her.

"Regulus, do you remember your real name?" she suddenly said with an inexplicable name.

The current Dugu Chengying only remembers that he has lived for hundreds of years and has been living in the country. And Dongfang Boundless is his brother, and he watched him grow up slowly. The name Xuanyuan seems to have been heard somewhere, and it seems that someone has called him like this. Is this his real name?

Strange to say, he had no memory of what happened before the age of ten, and even the appearance of his parents. According to his master Qianmo, he had a serious illness one year, and his memory was confused, and it was difficult to make up for it.

"What does the queen mean, I am obviously Dugu Chengying. I have never heard of this 'Xuanyuan'. ”

"Should I help you think about it, or should I ask the doctor in your house to help you remember?"

"Niangniang is a little tired today, all crazy talk. ”

He pretended to be angry and wanted to slip away.

"You and her, there will be no results. ”

She finally spoke up. This tone is the same as that senior sister, and the stick beats the mandarin duck repeatedly.

"I don't know who the mother is talking about. Dugu Chengying flatly denied it, he would definitely not admit that he and Yinsha had anything to do. Even if there is, it's in the past. Since it was too late to stop the ritual, the budding affection had already disappeared. His heartache is to bury this extremely short first love.

"Don't pretend in front of me. You and I are the same people, love but can't do it, almost crazy. There is no room for a grain of sand in his eyes, and there is no wind in his ears. ”

The queen suddenly became gentle, and took off her former dignity and arrogance.

"We are not the same, and we will never be the same. Dugu Chengying disagreed, although he may feel that there may be a little similarity in his heart. Indeed, he can't get silver sand, and as for love, it's hard to say. The time is so short, or maybe it's just a novelty. There are thousands of women in the world, and he doesn't take the initiative to deliver what he wants. As long as the warlord Chrysostom is opened, the matchmakers of the Xuan Kingdom and even Cangming will have to line up to the foot of Xuanming Mountain.

"If the queen has no other orders, I will go back to my house first. ”

Dugu Chengying got up and left, but the concubine wanted to stop but was also reprimanded.

"When you think clearly, come to Fenghuan Palace at any time. ”

After walking half a mile, the queen's voice came from Fenghuan Palace.

"Mother, just let him go back?"

"Dugu Chengying's temperament is not unclear. That's it, it's still a long time coming. ”

She stood in front of the window, looking at the Xuanming Mountain in the distance, looming.

"Please come to my study. Dugu Chengying was very sensitive to the name mentioned by the queen, and as soon as he returned home, he sent someone to find Qianmo who was wandering the streets.

"Lord Hou, Dr. Qianmo has not been seen since he had breakfast today. ”

"What?" He knew that this god of medicine loved to travel in the mountains and rivers and had fun in time. But if it is reasonable, he should also help him adjust his body before going out. After all, he has the responsibility of a master.

"The subordinate found a letter in the annex. A small servant handed over a thin layer of brown paper.

Dugu Chengying watched it for three seconds and then angrily crumpled a paper ball and threw it on the ground.

He never expected that Qianmo would go to the girl with the daisy hairpin, and he also left a letter to emphasize the ins and outs, which in his opinion can be described as a big absurd thing.

Last time, Qian Mo had already told him that he was the master's wife, and he admired the master's quick and accurate ruthlessness - he did not hesitate to go to find a wife, and he left when he said he would, not talking about the return date.

The girl with the daisy hairpin is Yinsha's senior sister Hongkui.

After Hongkui found that Yinsha and Dugu Chengying had disappeared in Qiuyu Tower, she almost didn't overturn the entire hidden stack.

Due to the Snow Palace ban: the coming-of-age ceremony of the current palace master, the former old man is not allowed to participate. So she didn't know where Woyunju was and what had happened. Based on the ambiguity between the two in Qiuyulou, she had to start from the overall situation, and Feige sent a letter to the informant of Xuan Guo to check Xuanyuan Chengying's family background. Xuanyuan Chengying was not found, and found out a Dugu Chengying, a warlord of the Xuan Kingdom.

No one has ever seen the true face of this warlord, and his marching and fighting are first-class brave and witty.

Invincible, arrogant, arrogant.

She thought that it would be better to go to the Xuan Mansion for a while, and she might be able to find out about Xue Feitian from his mouth.

In a pavilion a thousand kilometers away from the country of Xuan, Qianmo, who was resting, was meeting her head-on.

"Red Aoi?" Qianmo, who went abroad to find a wife, did not work hard at all, and was very happy. He thought he would be looking for a long time, so he brought two bags of dry food.

The impression of the red sunflower likes to wear bright yellow skirts, and there is always a daisy hairpin he gave her on her head.

Hongkui was surprised at how this Xuan countryman, who met for the first time, knew his name.

After eating the Forgetful Love Pill, of course, it is impossible for her to remember Qianmo and Qianmo's memories.

"You, forget me?" Qian Mo was also surprised that Hongkui could forget all about himself.

"Do I know you? "Hongkui directly reported to the door, and it is common to use the name of Snow Palace to scare off this kind of accosting and harassment.

"Uh-huh. You and I" Qian Mo wanted to say "used to be husband and wife", but as soon as this remark came out, it made clear that it was not now, he thought for a while, and added, "Very close and good friends." ”

Good friends? Very close? Red Kui's brain is racing, and there is no friend of the opposite sex in her memory plate who claims to be very close.

"I have lived in the Snow Palace for a thousand years, and I have never made any friends of the opposite sex, let alone intimate friends. ”

Qian Mo stopped Hongkui, who turned around and left.

Qian Mo thought that she was still haunted by the previous things, so she talked to him like this.

He had been to the Snow Palace to look for her, but he had not been able to break the seventy-two cherry blossom forest arrays in the Snow Palace for decades.

"If this is the case, then it is time to reacquaint ourselves today. ”

"Nope. Hongkui said coldly. Although she has forgotten some of her emotional past, she is still haunted by the grievances between Xuan Guo and the Snow Palace.

It's still the same cold as before. But it doesn't matter, after a long time, you will be the little girl who loves to laugh again. When the time comes, you will beg me to make you hairpins. Qian Mo realized that it was not a happy thing to start over with her.

"Your Excellency has recognized the wrong person, and I have to hurry. ”

"What are you doing in the kingdom of Xuan? Looking for me? I'm not right in front of you. ”

His flamboyant tongue skills are getting better year by year, and he also relied on his mouth to please her at that time. Although the subsequent development is quite tortuous and complex, so that the current results seem to be unsatisfactory.

"......" The men Hongkui has encountered in recent years have been accosted, flirted, and cheated, but none of them were brazen. Moreover, when she looked at him for the first time, there were some familiar pictures in her mind. She went to Xuan Country this time to investigate Dugu Chengying in depth, and it would be much easier if someone helped her. Dinghou Mansion has not hired a maid for many years, so she can only turn into a man and blend into the family of Houfu and wait and see what happens.

"It's better to go back to the country with me first. If there's anything I can do to help, just ask. If I can't help you, I'll leave you at your disposal. ”

Qianmo's proposal is good, and Hongkui thinks it is also very reasonable. A stranger who met in the water could be so enthusiastic to help, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Why should I believe you? You people are notorious. Thinking of Xue Feitian's fate, she became vigilant again, and clever men from the Xuan Kingdom abounded.

Qian Mo immediately handed her a piece of rune paper and said:

"This is a death charm, if you look at me unpleasantly, come and take my life anytime, anywhere"

Hongkui glanced at it, and it was really a death talisman. Once the death charm is attached to the person, the other party will definitely die. But the man in front of her, who claimed to be a "good friend" with her, took a death talisman and handed it to her in the suburbs, presumably the man also has a certain background and status in the Xuan country. Maybe you can take advantage of him.

"Okay. Red Aoi accepted the death charm.

"You lead the way. ”

Hongkui followed Qianmo closely into the city of King Xuan and saw the bustling downtown area. This Mingfang long street is much larger than Yindie and Snow Palace, and there are small vendors who make a living on the streets, shouting rock sugar gourds everywhere.

"Do you want to eat it?" I don't know when, Qian Mo held a string of sugar gourds in front of her.

Hongkui felt that it seemed that a long time ago, someone asked her the same thing, and also bought her such a sugar gourd.

Hongkui involuntarily took the string of sugar gourds, took a bite, and only felt that the sweet and sour taste was very good. She ate so quickly that she forgot that she should take the poison a priori.

Qian Mo secretly looked at her eating appearance, recalling various scenes of the two holding hands on the street decades ago. At that time, she often coquetted to him, and when she went out and saw food, she couldn't walk, although she always said that she was fat, and always carried it all the way back when she complained of leg pain.

People always know what is most precious when they lose.

And when you think about it after you lose it, you have to cherish it, and this kind of cherishing is too bad to practice sincerity.

"It's here. Qian Mo took her into one of his own huts, far away from Dinghou's Mansion.

"You live here?" She was really surprised, looking at how simple her appearance was. I thought that the children of high-ranking officials could easily access Dugu Chengying, but now she can only rely on herself.

"It's a little late today, you stay first. Let's talk about finding someone tomorrow. ”

She thought about it, too, if a person like him went out to bring a woman into the house, he would inevitably be reprimanded by his family. Living here saves a lot of unnecessary trouble, and there is more room to cast spells.

"Good. ”

When Qianmo left, he set up an enchantment outside the house.

Dinghou Mansion told Dugu Chengying that Qianmo had returned.

Dugu Chengying rushed to the courtyard where he lived as soon as possible.

"I'm going to take a shower, you go out first. As soon as Qianmo finished taking off his shirt, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

He had expected that this apprentice would not give up if he didn't get any secret to win the world quickly. I found an excuse to go out and hide for a while, but now that people have found it, there is no better reason to stay outside.

"Don't delay you. If the ear hears it, the mouth just remember to open it. ”

"Just ask, I'm not going to tell you how to beat him anyway. Qian Mo said very loudly in the curtain.

"Not this one. Dugu Chengying seems to have forgotten this stubble, but he himself said no. It's too quick to regret it now, so I'll talk about it in a few days. "Have you ever heard the name Xuanyuan?"

When Qian Mo heard the word "Xuanyuan", he almost fell by the bathtub.

This name has not been mentioned for thousands of years. Even in the Mantuo Domain, most of the gods have been defined as forbidden words.

The world never knew that the power of the Lord of the Netherworld was so powerful that it required a living person as a medium to successfully seal it. And Xuanyuan, a young immortal born in Xuanming Mountain, sacrificed his physical body.

Some people say that Xuanyuan was born by gathering the aura of heaven and earth in Xuanming Mountain, and some people say that he is actually the illegitimate son of the god Mantuo. What his true identity is, no one knows.

The thing that really made him famous was probably his refusal to be the head of the Xuanming Sect as an adult. This incident spread throughout the Seven Kingdoms, and the then head of the Xuanming Sect, Xi He, was disgraced and ordered him to be expelled from the sect.

Xuanyuan, who was forced to go down the mountain, got a petty official who composed music in the Mantuo Divine Domain, and his life was idle.

Qian Mo has a unique talent, he can see at a glance the catastrophe that every immortal is going to suffer. This talent is too cruel for him. will know in advance the life and death of a person, but he can't do anything.

Qian Mo knew that one day Xuanyuan would die under the sword of the Divine Venerable, and he secretly mentioned it to Xuanyuan.

Regulus just smiled.

"I am an ordinary person, if I am alone, I can change the peace of the world. Why not?"

After learning the news of Xuanyuan's passing, he was still happy for him.

On the second day - it was also the day when Qian Mo submitted his resignation, and Xingjun, who was in charge of the mortal fortune book, went to the Zichen Palace.

Qian Mo happened to hear the news: when the villain was flipping through the fortune book, he found that the deceased Xuanyuan Immortal still had a wisp of soul left in the world, and it seemed that some wish had not been fulfilled. Due to the coincidence of throwing himself into a mortal, this mortal's luck cannot be mastered, and he hopes that the gods will give him some advice.

Since he entered the Dinghou Mansion, Dugu Chengying has always been the high-ranking war marquis of the Xuan Kingdom. It is rare to talk about any court and harem in front of him, but how can he mention this historical name in a good way when he returns to the mansion today......

"I haven't heard of it. Qian Mo got dressed and walked out, his hair scattered behind his head, messy.

"Really?" If he really hadn't heard of it, there was no need for Qianmo to reply to him after so long. If so, what secret does he have?

"I was getting dressed, and it's normal to forget to get back to you. And you know that I may not have the heart to answer your questions and take care of your feelings later. I'm going to take care of your sister-in-law. When Qianmo said this, he especially warned Dugu Chengying in a provocative tone, looking cheap.

Shi Niang, he found it one day, and this speed made Dugu Chengying envious. Perhaps, he will be able to gain something from following Qianmo tomorrow, after all, that woman and Yinsha seem to be a little festive.

"Let me remind you again, the appointment with the Prince of Cangming is the deadline at the end of this month. ”

Dugu Chengying said disdainfully, "Since there is still a half-moon scene, I will definitely be able to beat him." Don't bother the master. ”

"If you haven't fought again, I'm afraid that Dongfang Wubian will come to trouble you. A generation of warlords who have experienced a hundred battles can't even win a lifetime. It's too embarrassing to lose face. ”

Qianmo's sarcastic temperament has not changed for thousands of years. Whether it is to friends and lovers, or to enemies and passers-by, the difference is at most the weight of words.

Dugu Chengying ignored him and went back to the study alone.
