Chapter 9: Peeling Back the Layers
The twilight is dark, the sky is high above the moon, and the wind of late spring blows down some of the peach blossoms, fluttering down between the strings. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The song was not interrupted, and the petals finally landed when the sound trembled, because the moonlight was bright and pink, and the light suddenly dimmed, and it was hidden in the middle of the night.
Under the melody of twists and turns, the person who strokes the harp rests his hands on the piano and looks up at the comer.
"Wang Er has something on his mind. ”
It was the father, Xiong Zixian wanted to get up and salute, the king of Chu waved his right hand, signaling to be exempt, and he did not follow a retinue, but came to the pavilion in the back garden alone, and visited the prince who lived in the deep palace because of his hard work.
After that, the king of Chu paced two steps and stood with his hands in his hands.
When Xiong Zi heard this, his thick eyebrows couldn't help frowning, and his emotions overflowed on the outside, which was not something that the royal family should do.
"The king is also a human being, and all human beings have emotions, so the king does not need to be distressed. ”
As if he had seen through Xiong Zixian's thoughts, the King of Chu looked down at him.
For the loving gaze of his father, Xiong Zixian was slightly touched in his heart.
"My father also has something on his mind. ”
The King of Chu was silent for a while, and said in a low voice, "Since the record of Yue was killed three years ago, the widows have received less and less information, but the war is imminent, and we can't wait any longer. ”
It's a state affair again.
If you want to say who this arrogant Xiong Zixian will admire, the only one is his extremely wise father.
Years of deployment, just for a moment.
What his father did, Xiong Zixian dared to say that no second person could compare.
"Is there no one to replace?"
King Chu glared at him, his son, no matter how well people outside boasted about him, he didn't show it at all in front of him.
"The people around Yun Zuo are so easy to insert in?"
Xiong Zixian looked at his father's loving eyes and suddenly became indignant, knowing that he had asked what he shouldn't have asked again, so he hurriedly lowered his head, this appearance was no different from ordinary juniors.
"That record is so powerful, there must be some clues left, maybe?"
Xiong Zixian didn't know who and where his father's eyeliner was, and it wasn't until the past six months that his father slowly told himself.
Xiong Zixian received news from the King of Chu every day, and was shocked and sighed for a while, his father's cleverness is not comparable to ordinary people.
Many years ago, he was deployed by the side of Yun Zuo, a military general in East Vietnam, and three years ago he was executed in order to take the blame for Yun Zuo. Xiong Zixian only learned about this news recently.
"The clues left behind have been deciphered three years ago, and they have been traced for half a year, but they are empty!"
The king of Chu glared at him again, did the widow look so stupid?
Xiong Zixian's head just raised lowered again, and he shouldn't have asked what he said.
The older you get, the more you can't see your own king like this. In the future, if you are the lord of a country, how can you make promises?
The King of Chu sighed and said, "These things will be solved by you in the future, and you must not let your father down." ”
Xiong Zixian raised his head again, and looked at the King of Shangchu with anticipation, "Yes!"
"I don't know what the message is left behind by the record, can my father tell me?" Xiong Zixian asked again.
"The deciphered information was a brothel in Jinling, and nothing else was available. ”
Xiong Zixian nodded, Jinling, he thought of Song Qiu.
"Throw out the major national events, everything else, it's all trivial, my father is old, I don't know if I can see the ...... that day"
As he spoke, the King of Chu left here, his voice gradually drifting away, and his back was no different from that of an ordinary old man.
Xiong Zixian immediately got up and silently bowed in the direction where King Chu left, suddenly feeling sad, his father was old.
Suddenly, a petal fell, and my eyes followed it to the strings.
"A national event..."
King Chu guessed wrong this time, Xiong Zixian was not worried about throwing things outside the country, but about Su Wei's arrest.
King Yu of Dongyue returned to Jinling from Huanglong, and put the little girl in Huainan Liujia on the way, Su Wei was ordered to investigate, but unexpectedly the master was here and was caught.
Su Wei hadn't given him any news for three days, so Xiong Zixian guessed that Su Wei had been arrested.
"King Yu actually sent such a master to protect her, could it be ......"
He thought of the destined person that Master Xuantong said to him at the beginning, and then thought of lifelessness, it seemed that he had thought of something.
"I don't know, what is the use of his destined person. ”
Xiong Zixian felt more and more that his opponent was not the Western Jin Dynasty, not the King of Yue, but the King of Yu.
……
Also tonight, not in Nanchu, but in Jinling.
The back door of Bian's Mansion, which had not been opened for a long time, opened silently, and a little dust fell, but because the person was fast, he was not contaminated too much.
"Big brother. ”
Under the black cloak, Song Yu tentatively knocked on the door and window of the study.
After no one responded for a long time, Song Yu tried to call two more times to make sure that no one was outside the second brother's door.
The eldest brother lives in the same place with the eldest sister-in-law, which is inconvenient, and it is more convenient for the second brother who has not married for a long time.
But clinker, the second brother was not in his room.
"Who is it?"
Suddenly a servant cried out in the silent night.
Song Yu's figure was hidden, the black cloak blended with the night, the servant took a lantern and took a photo, and when he saw that there was no one around, he rubbed his eyes, and his heart was dazzled.
"He was old and well-aged, and after a few days he resigned from his post as a night watchman on this ground. ”
The servant muttered silently, he had long wanted to escape from this declining family, but because of the relationship between master and servant, he stayed until now.
The Bian family is really in decline.
Seeing that the servant was far away, Song Yu showed his figure. When he returned home this time, he avoided too many eyeliners, not only King Yu, the third prince, but also Wei Juntian in the inn, he couldn't go out for too long, and wanted to sneak out of the back door, as if he had never been there.
It's just that when I passed by the backyard garden, I saw the second brother who was not in the room.
Song Yufang wanted to call him, but he saw that the second brother was embracing the beauty in his arms, and he was enjoying the moonlight together.
The second brother is married?
Song Yu took a few steps forward and heard their conversation.
"Erlang, coming out of the palace this time, I really don't want to go back anymore. ”
It was the beauty in the palace who hugged Bian Jing, and the two drank wine under the moon, and their backs were clinging.
Bian Jing didn't answer immediately, leaving his mother in his arms, and he couldn't see his frowning brows.
"Why do I want you to go back?"
Before Bian Jing finished speaking, Liniang immediately got up and covered his mouth, and her eyes were speechless with affection.
"I understand, don't say it. ”
Bian Jing wanted to cry and laugh, he and his mother were heart-to-heart, but God made people, and he was Sauvignon Blanc.
Song Yu, who was about to approach the two, stopped when he heard this.
The woman in the second brother's arms is a woman in the palace? Seeing the appearance of the two, this meeting is clearly cheating.
The second brother is not like him, and he has never met a lovesick person. Instead, he gave all his heart to a woman who wouldn't be him, but he didn't expect that after the woman died three years ago, the second brother actually put his feelings on another woman.
Song Yu quietly retreated and left through the back door, as if he had never been here.
