Chapter 7: The Taoist
The heart of the white wolf rose to the sky, emitting a blood-red light, like a jewel, and disappeared into the clouds, never to be seen again. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
King Wu exhaled heavily, his goal was achieved, but he paid a heavy price for it.
King Wu only felt relieved, and tiredly ordered to return to Jianye, and the whole person was much older.
In the battle of Nanyi, King Wu was paralyzed, his right arm was disabled, and 20,000 elite soldiers of Wu were killed and wounded. The son-in-law who sits in Jianye is busy, the court is unstable, and the national strength is empty. The neighboring state of Chu was eyeing the tiger, gathering male soldiers along the border to keep an eye on King Wu and return to Jianye.
Back in Jianye, King Wu was disheartened and had no intention of presiding over the government, and handed over all state affairs to his son-in-law.
……
Wu Palace, Nihua Palace, the bedroom of King Wu's favorite concubine Zifei.
A black shadow flashed and burst out of the Nehua Palace. Concubine Zi hurriedly ran into the courtyard, two close palace maids followed closely behind, Concubine Zi's face was anxious, and she shouted in a coquettish voice: "Little monster! Don't run! ”
The purple concubine chased the black shadow, tired and panting, the black shadow jumped up and down in the yard, climbed to the rockery for a while, screamed, and jumped into the flower bed and rolled around, making a mess of the flower garden.
Concubine Zi's body is delicate, and she can't catch up for a while, and several palace maids chase and intercept her, but although the black shadow is small, it is very vigorous, and she can't catch it for a while.
After a while, the shadow seemed to be tired of playing, and fell to sleep.
Several palace maids hurriedly stepped forward to catch the black shadow, and Concubine Zi hurriedly walked over, worried: "You guys, don't hurt him, I'll hold him." ”
When the palace maid heard this, she handed the black shadow to Concubine Zi's arms.
The black shadow was naturally the child brought by King Wu from Nanyi, and at this time he was wearing a black gold-inlaid close-fitting robe, but his clothes were disheveled and messy.
Concubine Zi stretched out her hand to hug the child, did not care about the mud stains on the child's body, looked at him dotingly, and ordered: "Go get some warm water, I will clean it up for him." ”
A palace maid answered. Concubine Zi walked into the dormitory with the child in her arms, put him gently on the bed, for fear of waking him up, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him carefully, couldn't help smiling, looking at the child's dirty face, Concubine Zi stretched out her hand and pinched it, and joked softly: "Little monster, if you keep being so naughty, when you grow up in the future, whose young lady can take a fancy to you." ”
The palace maid carried a basin of warm water and put it next to Concubine Zi, who dipped her handkerchief in water and carefully wiped the child's cheeks.
The child turned away comfortably and turned sideways. Concubine Zi was stunned for a moment, stopped cleaning up, glanced at the child with some disgust, and then regained her doting look, and reluctantly threw the handkerchief into the basin and covered the child with a quilt. Concubine Zi was a little disheartened, so she wanted to go out for a walk, and instructed the two palace maids to watch the children here, stretch their bodies, and walk out of the Nihua Hall with steps.
It's so hard to take care of children.
It's been a month and this kid has been so naughty. A month ago, after seeing King Wu bring the child back, Concubine Zi made up her mind to raise him. Because of physical reasons, Concubine Zi has no children, so let this child be by Concubine Zi's side, and King Wu also agreed.
King Wu told Concubine Zi that the child had a poor background, was raised by wolves, and had been living in a wolf pack. Let Concubine Zi take good care of it. In the past month, Concubine Zi has been with this child all the time, wanting to establish a relationship foundation with him, so that he can listen to herself, and then teach him to speak and read.
But in the past month, the relationship between Zifei and the child has improved a lot, but the child's habits have not changed, crawling on the ground with all fours, the cry will only be howling, no matter what Zifei says, he will not listen, only once, Zifei is really annoyed, and she also screamed, and the child suddenly screamed more happily, dancing with her hands, and Zifei was made to cry and laugh. I thought I could only come slowly.
After a slow walk, I unconsciously walked to the astrological platform. Concubine Zi couldn't help but walk up.
The astrological platform is very high, it is the highest place in the palace, on the platform, Concubine Zi looked around, looked at the red bricks and blue tiles in the palace, breathed the air from the heights, and forgot the time for a while.
Before you know it, the sun is sinking in the west, and it is dusk.
Concubine Zi didn't know how long she had been standing on the astrological platform, and she thought to herself that the child should be awake, so she hurried back.
As soon as he got off the astrological platform, he met King Wu, who was sitting on a sedan chair, and Concubine Zi stepped forward to salute. Since this kid came to the Nihua Palace, he has never gone to find King Wu again.
King Wu signaled to be exempt, never thought that Concubine Ai would come to the astrological platform, but was inevitably a little surprised, and asked, "Why is Concubine Ai interested in coming to the astrological platform?" ”
When Concubine Zi saw King Wu asking, thinking about the child's situation, she felt a little bitter in her heart, so she told King Wu 1510.
King Wu frowned slightly after hearing this. Although after the sacrifice returned, King Wu did not care about the child anymore, it does not mean that he is not careful. On the contrary, because of his obsession, King Wu values this child very much in his heart.
This child's problem is indeed difficult to solve, but it is not unsolvable. Thinking of this, King Wu had a plan in his heart.
After returning from the sacrifice, King Wu handed over the state affairs to his son-in-law, and he lived in a simple place, and every night, he would come to the astrological platform, and it was not dark today, so he came earlier.
King Wu turned to the star officer to the side and asked, "Aiqing, is there a way?" ”
Xingguan hesitated for a moment, and replied truthfully: "Shu Weichen is stupid and can't think of a way. ”
King Wu's brows furrowed even deeper, and he took a deep breath and thought of a way.
"But Weichen has someone to recommend." The star official sold a pass.
"Who?" King Wu asked, a little surprised, Concubine Zi also looked at this star official with a happy face.
"The king forgot, when Lord Fan returned from the East China Sea, he still brought a Taoist priest with him."
"You dog officer, are you playing tricks on the king? How could that Taoist priest who told fortunes and cheated money and refined poison pills have a way to save my child! Concubine Zi was immediately furious and said angrily.
Taoist? King Wu was puzzled.
"The mother is angry, and listen to the villain." The star official confessed, and then said: "The king and the mother don't know, that Taoist priest is extraordinary, we can't follow Lord Fan to Tanggu, and when I returned, I met this Taoist." At that time, this Taoist man was standing on the sea, leading two Taoist boys, after Lord Fan found out, let the boat approach them, the Taoist priest was superb, and he didn't see his blood and magic power, so he flew on the boat against the water, which was really magical. ”
"That night, Lord Fan talked with the Taoist priest all night, and learned that the Taoist priest wanted to go out of the East China Sea to find the Immortal Palace, but the boat was overturned in the sea, but fortunately he was rescued by meeting us."
"Master Fan has great respect for this Taoist priest and ordered me to wait for a good life to entertain him. The villain didn't dare to slack off, now this person is still living in the astrology department, Weichen believes that he must have a way to save the little boy. ”
"At that time, the world mistakenly thought that the Taoist priest who went to the East China Sea to seek immortals alone? Lone almost forgot. ”
"It's okay, Fan Aiqing is a good person, and Lone should also take a good look at his methods." King Wu said suddenly.
"In that case, the king, why don't you invite the Taoist priest?" Zifei said hurriedly.
"Hahaha, don't be anxious to love the concubine, Lone also believes that the Taoist priest has a way. You two go and ask for the chief. King Wu said, and summoned two eunuchs to the astrology department to ask for someone.
If it is someone who is favored by the eldest brother, then the child should be saved, King Wu thought to himself.
"Ai Concubine, let's wait for that Taoist priest in the Nihua Palace."
Concubine Zi nodded. The group waited and went towards the Nihua Palace.
