Chapter 29: Do something exciting
——Yunzhou Jiucheng Mengfu——
Due to the sharp action of Lord Chen, Yunzhou Mengfu has been much more deserted than before.
A small number of people feel that the current Meng Mansion has lost its power, and there is no need to get close to it. Most people don't dare to blatantly associate with the Meng Mansion again, for fear of provoking the newly appointed Prince Chen, who has three fires, and causing some unwarranted disasters.
However, the old elves in the officialdom are still enthusiastic in private.
Because they know too well that the Meng Mansion in Yunzhou is no longer in the limelight, but the Meng family in the capital is still the boss of the scholar clan in the Lan Kingdom. Now that King Chen has taken office in Yunzhou, the eyes of the Meng family in the capital will definitely be aimed here, and the battle has just begun.
They expected it well, and there were distinguished guests in Mengfu in Yunzhou today.
It was nearly dusk.
On the cold street, a wide-axle carriage rolled along and stopped at the gate of Mengfu.
The coachman jumped out of the car, but with this one action, a discerning person could see at a glance that this was a practitioner.
"Knock knock" three times, the heavy door opened a crack, and the people inside cautiously looked at the people outside.
Master Meng has an order, now is not more than before, everything must be cautious, low-key and cautious, so as to walk steadily. The number of servants in the house has been cut by half, of course, not because they can't afford to support them, but because they are afraid that there will be many bad things, and those who can stay are either shrewd governors or simple and capable.
After seeing clearly that the person who came was not a familiar person, the little servant issued an eviction order, "I'm really sorry, the Meng Mansion is closed for renovation, please go back." ”
The coachman did not speak, he only knocked on the door, and then stood quietly to the side, his expression like a stone.
"Closed door renovation?heh, the interior of the Meng Mansion is indeed long overdue for a good repair!"
The little guy in the door looked at the carriage suspiciously, and this was so rampant.
As the words fell, the curtain of the carriage was lifted slightly, but the people inside did not come out, but the coachman almost instantly flashed to the side of the curtain, respectfully took a gold sticker printed in the shape of a leaf, walked back to the door, and handed it to the little servant.
"Can you welcome guests from Kyoto?"
The little guy wasn't sure what to do, so he had to hold the gold paste in and report it.
Master Meng was teasing his canary in the backyard.
"Sir, someone from outside handed this in, saying that it was a visitor from Kyoto. ”
Master Meng casually took a look, but his face immediately changed, and he suddenly took the gold sticker from the little guy's hand and looked back and forth, looking more and more excited.
"Master, do you want to welcome them in?" the little guy couldn't figure out what the old man's reaction meant.
Master Meng slapped his eyes, "Of course, you have to hurry in, no, you have to respectfully invite me in! Go and call me all the boys who don't grow up to the front hall!"
The little guy immediately ran away in a panic.
Master Meng pinched the gold sticker and his face was full of red light, where is this visitor, obviously the master has come to the door! Now their Yunzhou Meng Mansion is saved, as long as the lord of the capital is willing to stretch out his hand, this Yunzhou is still the world of their Meng family!
——Jingxing Xiaozhu——
Under the "stars" as promised, there are two teenagers lying on their backs, one like a cherry blossom and the other like a golden cinnamon.
"I've counted the thousand-three-eighty-four, what about you?" Sakura spoke, her voice like a feather brushing through her petals.
“…… Don't interrupt me, don't tell me the numbers, I remember......" Kim replied embarrassedly.
Sakura tilted her head slightly, and could see the young man beside her, ah no, it should be the girl's crazy and messy expression, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips lightly.
That's right, these two are Su Le and Jing Xing, who are doing "exciting things" after they are full of wine and food.
And the exciting thing that our wise and wise Su Da proposed was to lie on the stone ground outside the small building, counting the arrows that flickered like stars in the cold light above his head......
These two are also elegantly gone.
The Nine Cities Prison had just undergone a massive renovation three years ago, and most of the dungeons were newly added, including the beehive-like hidden arrows overhead.
"Damn, did I count to nine hundred and thirty-eight, or one thousand two hundred and five, or one thousand three hundred and eight?" Su Le grabbed his hair desperately, "I hate this combination of numbers that hint at character!"
"Don't count, you can't count it today. Jing Xing finally couldn't help but tell the truth.
"Why?" Su Le looked at him strangely.
"Did you feel unwell this afternoon?" Jing Xing asked without answering.
"When you say that, I think about it, I feel very sleepy and tired this afternoon. ”
"This is a normal reaction after detoxification, and in addition to this, your mind will also be affected to a certain extent, but you don't have to worry, rest well, and you will be healed soon. ”
"I see. Su Le said, "But the problem is that my mental condition has been very bad in the past two days, and I always fall asleep when I shouldn't sleep, and I start to have insomnia when I should sleep." Last night, for example, I spent the night staring at candles in bed......"
"Why stare at candles?"
"Because it keeps shaking and jumping, the regular swinging is hypnotic. ”
“…… Did it hypnotize you?"
"No, it moves too irregularly, there are always novel jumps, changing patterns and shaking, I can see more and more energetic, and finally I have the heart to study, and I almost wrote a particularly academic theory of candle flame mechanics. ”
"......" Jing Xing was probably speechless, "Let's go ahead and count the stars." ”
Su Le set his eyes on those dangerous starlights again, thinking to himself that he didn't know what the moon outside would look like tonight. She hasn't seen the starry sky here once since she came here, will there be two moons in this space-time? or no moon? If so, it's a pity that there is such a beautiful sentence as "when is the bright moon?"
In such a distraction, I don't know if it's because of her poor mental state or because Jing Xing is really a sneak attack expert, Su Le, who has always been vigilant, didn't even notice the hand that quietly stretched out to her neck.
Lisuo clicked on Su Le's sleeping hole, and watched Su Le immediately fall into a deep sleep, Jing Xing's eyes were satisfied.
In a good mood, he stretched out his arms to pick up Su Le and got up and walked back to Xiaozhu, but when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly paused, and his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his eyes suddenly narrowed to an extremely cold color, and a cold color instantly flashed on Guanyu's face:
"Did I tell you not to be here if it wasn't for something important?"
