121.Chapter 120
The hot spring hall has just been renovated and is much more elaborate than before. The chamberlain had already retreated, and Duan Baiyue held him in his arms: "Has this place been rebuilt?" β
"Well, it's a wood idiot senior." Chu Yuan looked up, "He personally rebuilt the roof of this hot spring hall, firstly to disperse water vapor, and secondly, to let the starlight in. β
"The hollow is beautiful, what if it leaks?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"So you're not interesting." Chu Yuan leaned on his chest, stretched out his hand to pull a strand of hair and said, "If you are someone else, you can listen to the wind all night in this hot spring, and watch the rain fall and ripples, it is necessary to match poetry and wine, and you can't ask for the artistic conception and mood, but you are thinking about what to do if the water leaks." β
Duan Baiyue: "......"
And then there are the Assassins.
Chu Yuan wrapped his hands around his neck and comforted: "But it's okay, I don't dislike you." "Vulgar is vulgar, this is the only one person, and I don't have to choose, only recognize.
Duan Baiyue took a punitive bite on his lips.
Chu Yuan smiled and wanted to dodge, but was pulled into his arms with his backhand, and the two chased and fought for a while before they stopped. Duan Baiyue couldn't help him rub his forehead with a smile: "It's a pillar over there, why don't you look at it, what if you hit a fool." β
Chu Yuan said: "It's your fault. β
"Naturally, it's my fault." Duan Baiyue is very good.
Chu Yuan said: "Do you drink?" β
"Just one glass." Duan Baiyue took the wine jug, "This pot of wine is too strong, you will get drunk if you drink too much." β
Chu Yuan drank it all with his hand: "What's the name of the wine this time?" β
"Dye." Duan Baiyue said, "When brewing Yunguang, I sealed a few more jars, I didn't want to bring it to you, but it doesn't hurt to taste it." β
When the liquor enters the throat, people will not be lazy after a while. Chu Yuan closed his eyes, listened to his heartbeat, and fell asleep after a while. Duan Baiyue pulled the blanket on the side and wrapped him around him, and carefully carried the person back to the dormitory.
"Go back to sleep." Duan Baiyue covered the quilt for him, and Sixi also came in, extinguishing most of the lights, leaving only a small glass lamp.
With him by his side, Chu Yuan's whole person was relaxed and defenseless, and he soon fell asleep in the soft bedding and incense, and this time he slept soundly.
Duan Baiyue turned over and got out of bed.
"King of the Southwest." Sixi was waiting in the courtyard, and since he came out of Jingfan Palace, he knew that the prince would definitely ask him about some things back then, so he didn't go back to rest.
"There is Father-in-law." Duan Baiyue said.
"The king of the southwest is serious, this is the old slave's errand." Sixi said, "That Liu Jinde was originally the most favored young master in Liu's Mansion, he was born tall and burly since he was a child, he was able to beat all the martial artists in the mansion at the age of eighteen, and he entered the palace at the age of eighteen, and he has been accompanied by the then Gao Wang Chu Xiang as a personal guard and playmate, and he stayed in Jingfan Palace for most of the year. β
"After entering the palace, did he often come to the emperor?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"I didn't care about it before, but now that I think about it, he will indeed find all kinds of excuses to come to the Tai Palace." Sixi said, "It's just that the emperor is stubborn when he has a small temper, and he doesn't like the Liu family, so he often leaves as soon as he sees him." Therefore, the emperor also trained the emperor a few times, but he didn't see any use. β
As for why Liu Jinde was transferred to Liaozhou, it was also because of Chu Yuan's insistence in front of the first emperor - although Chu Xiang wanted people to stay in the palace, and even knelt in front of Jingtai Palace, he was not summoned in the end, and Liu Jinde still left the royal city three days later.
After that, Chu Xiang looked at Chu Yuan with a little more hatred in his eyes, and Sixi occasionally swept it, but he was also terrified.
"That's all?" Duan Baiyue said, "After Liu Jinde was transferred to Liaozhou, Chu Xiangruo had a grudge in his heart, and according to his temperament, nine times out of ten, he would secretly retaliate. β
"Not really." Sixi said, "It's been calm." β
"That's right." Duan Baiyue nodded, "Thank you, father-in-law." β
"The emperor is not a bully." Sixi lowered his voice and said, "Although the king of the southwest can rest assured, until now, as long as there is a collision between the two parties, it will always be the king of Gao who suffers." β
Duan Baiyue smiled: "Okay." β
On an island in the South Seas, a man in a fine costume sits alone on a reef, watching the stormy waves in the distance and the thick white mist. The figure is burly, and his facial features are considered Zhouzheng, but his eyes are full of coldness.
There was the sound of footsteps behind him.
Chu Xiang asked, "What are you looking at?" β
Liu Jinde didn't look back, but said, "Da Chu." β
Chu Xiang said: "You and I will be able to go back soon." β
"Will you be able to go back soon?" Liu Jinde said, "Don't forget, you and I are both defeated by him." β
"It's not you, it's you." Chu Xiang said coldly, "If it weren't for your soft-heartedness back then, he wouldn't have survived until now." β
Liu Jinde said: "Now I won't let him die." β
"What if I'm going to kill him?" Chu Xiang asked
Liu Jinde said: "Then I will kill you first." β
Chu Xiang stared at him for a moment, then sneered and turned back to his residence.
"It seems that my brother is really likable, but there is one sentence that I don't blame me for not reminding you in advance, you are not the only one who thinks about him in this world."
Liu Jinde's eyes flashed with a strong killing intent: "Who else?" β
A huge wave crashed against the reef and swept the answer into the sea.
In the autumn rainy season, it starts to drizzle in the morning. Duan Yao was troublesome with holding an umbrella, so he ran all the way to the old man's residence with light skills, startling the adults who came to the court, and thought that the harrier eagle that he raised fell on the eaves, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.
"Young heroes, young heroes." Liu Dajiong's tone was full of admiration.
"This is from the Southwest." Tao Rende said, "It's impossible to talk nonsense." β
"What's wrong with the Southwest Mansion, our emperor has been getting along with the King of the Southwest recently." Liu Dajiong said, "The dishes in the imperial dining room are either sour or spicy every day, and people can't open their eyes. β
"If you want to fight together, the relationship should naturally be closer." Tao Rende said, "When Nanyang is pacified, the relationship between the imperial court and the southwest province may not be what will happen." β
"Everything you say is right, it's all right." Liu Dajiong held his sleeves in both hands, and almost wrote the word "perfunctory" on his face.
Tao Rende touched his nose here, and he couldn't get angry, so he pulled someone over: "What does the Prime Minister think?" β
"What do I think?" Wen Liunian asked. was talking with Master Zhang about which elbow was delicious, and he was dragged here for no reason, and he was a little dazed.
Tao Rende lowered his voice: "The relationship between the emperor and the king of the southwest. β
Wen Liunian said: "Naturally, it is the friendship of monarchs and ministers. β
"It's a monarch now, but it's hard to say in the future." Tao Rende hinted at him in a roundabout way, after all, everyone knows the ambition of the wolf in the southwest province, and after fighting Nanyang, there is no guarantee that there will be any moths.
Wen Liunian echoed from the bottom of his heart: "What the adults said is extremely true, and the lower officials also think so. "It's really hard to say what the future holds.
"Do you hear that?" Tao Rende slapped Liu Dajiong with his arm, "Lord Wen thinks so too." β
Liu Dajiong twitched the corners of his mouth and squatted on the side of the steps, not very much trying to speak.
My colleagues have been working for decades, but I didn't find out that once this old fox became stupid, it was really convincing.
"Senpai." Duan Yao shook off the raindrops on his body, pushed the door and walked into the hall.
"Why don't you hold an umbrella." The old man was making a xylophone, and when he saw him, he smiled and asked, "Have you had breakfast?" β
"I've eaten it." Duan Yao squatted beside him and rubbed the body of the piano with his fingers, "Seniors want to be Fengwu?" β
"Yo." The old man was surprised, "Can you still tell that this piano is a winddrop?" β
Duan Yao said: "When I was walking the rivers and lakes before, I also went to the piano hall to investigate the case, and I saw many famous pianos. β
"The piano hall you went to is called Feiliu Pavilion, right?" The old man said, "Now there is only one place left to see Fengwu in the world." β
"Hmm." Duan Yao nodded, "Is it also made by seniors?" β
"It's not me, the pianos there are all guqins." The old man put Feng Wu aside, "I won't teach you to make the piano today, I will teach you to do something else." β
"Organs?" Duan Yao asked.
The old man asked, "Do you want to learn the mechanism?" β
"Just talk about it, I can learn anything." Duan Yao said, "There is nothing to do in this palace, there are tables, chairs and benches." β
The old man smiled: "Then let's make a bench today, and take your time step by step." β
Duan Yao readily agreed, rolled up her sleeves and went to the next door to hug the wood.
The old man taught him how to distinguish wood, and before he knew it, a whole day had passed in a flash.
Duan Yao hugged the bench and walked back, saying that she would make another one tomorrow, paint it with red paint, and use it for her brother and sister-in-law's wedding.
"Studied all day?" After Duan Baiyue heard about this, she smiled and said, "I usually look at Yao'er frizzy, but I didn't expect to be able to play chess and be a craftsman." β
"Or maybe Yao'er will have another master because of this, maybe it's not true." Chu Yuan said, "The senior of the wood idiot has been saying before, this kind of thing depends on fate, and you can't force it. Yao'er has a clever brain and a sweet mouth, so she should be very pleasing to her elders. β
"It's all said, this little ghost has a good fate." Duan Baiyue said, "It's just that the senior of the wood idiot is old, so he really wants to go to sea with the army this time?" β
"I also said no, but my predecessor insisted on following." Chu Yuan said, "It is said that the drawings of the ghost wooden box were made by him himself, and if he didn't destroy it with his own hands, even if he entered the coffin in the future, he would have a bad conscience." β
"Otherwise, let Yao'er persuade again?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"I can always persuade you, but I'm afraid that my predecessors may not be willing to listen." Chu Yuan said, "But with Xiao Jin here, there shouldn't be any worries about minor illnesses and disasters." After a while, he patted him again, "It's you, be more careful, do you hear?" After all, it is the virtuous and virtuous "miracle doctor", and it is not scary at all when he sprinkles medicine all over the sky.
The King of the Southwest rubbed his temples and considered what he wanted to use to buy Lord Shen.
Two days later, Duan Baiyue led his troops to leave Wangcheng and hurried back to the southwest.
Duan Yao stayed in the palace, followed the old man to make tables, chairs and benches, and waited to go south with his sister-in-law by the way.
After another month, Chu Yuan drove the expedition in person and sent troops directly to the ocean.
The commander of the army is named Xue Huaiyue, who is a great Chu tiger general with the same name as Shen Qianfan, and has made great achievements in his early twenties, especially good at surface combat, and was just recalled from Beihai by Chu Yuan a year ago.
"It's really not General Shen this time." Someone in the DPRK muttered.
"Our Dachu is just a General Shen, and he is the one who fights the northwest, northeast, and East China Seas, and he can't take a break." The man next to him, "Although General Xue is not from a good background, who can fight in the army, but like General Shen, he has never been defeated." β
Tao Rende and Liu Dajiong went to eat fire as usual, and the people who bid farewell to the army on Zhengyang Street had just dispersed, and the road was still a little messy.
"Have a good meal?" Liu Dajiong asked.
"The emperor has just left, and you are thinking about eating well?" Tao Rende said.
"This battle is sure to be won, so it should be celebrated in advance." Liu Dajiong counted the copper plates, handed them to the boss of the burning stall, and told him to triple the amount of meat, before sitting on the bench and saying, "The emperor is personally driving, General Xue is invincible, the kung fu of the king of the southwest and the master of Zhao is superb, and the lord of the Shen League is the first in the worldββ"
Tao Rende corrected: "The number one in the world today is the master of the Shadow Chasing Palace. "That's the benefit of reading a little script.
"Whoever you say, plus His Royal Highness the Nine, and the little prince of the Southwest Mansion, it's a hell to lose this battle." Liu Dajiong took a sip of mung bean soup, "Not to mention Master Wen, how neat his mouth is, it's not like you haven't seen it." "I'm afraid that when the two armies face each other, there will be no need to fight, and if he is sent out and recited with affection, he will be able to incite the rebels to turn against each other.
"Ahh Wen Liunian sneezed in the carriage.
Chu Yuan handed him a cup of tea: "Is the wind chill really good?" β
"Back to the emperor, Weichen is fine." Wen Liunian wiped his nose - he is a nerd, even if he eats a lot, his body is not as good as a person who practices martial arts. So as soon as he came out of the royal city, he fell ill, and it took half a month to barely recover his spirits.
Duan Yao held a wild fruit in his mouth, climbed the big tree on the side of the road with one hand, and carefully put back the chicks that fell out of the nest.
Ye Jin stood down and instructed him to use branches to repair the broken nest, and poured a few half-dead insects into it to feed the mother bird.
The old man sat on the roof of the carriage basking in the sun, and saw him standing under the tree like little dolls, waiting for the mother bird to come back, and he laughed happily.
Tens of thousands of troops marched, and the speed naturally could not be fast. In a flash, it was the end of the year, and only then did he arrive at Chopping Water City.
"To the west is Shu Land." This night, Shen Qianfeng said, "It's a pity that I don't have time, otherwise I can go and see Shaoyu and Ling'er." β
Ye Jin guarded the fire and drew a chubby little phoenix on the ground with dry firewood.
"Chirp!" There seems to be a noise in the head.
Ye Jin frowned suspiciously, and then raised his head suddenly.
A ball of yellow fur fell from the sky, with straight wings.
β¦β¦
Looking at the small thing that fell in the palm of his hand, Ye Jin was a little dizzy.
"The Qin Palace Master is here?" Wen Liunian was overjoyed.
There was a faint sound of horses' hooves in the woods, and then I saw a group of black-clothed men killing diagonally, quite a bit of bandit aura.
"See the emperor!"
The voice roared very neatly, and at a glance, I knew that it had been rehearsed many times, and it was very sincere.
"Why is it only you, Shaoyu?" Ye Jin stood up.
The hairball squatted on his shoulder, and the little black bean eyes sparkled.
"Back to the valley master, my palace master has something to do with my son, and I went to Xichuan Mansion." The dark guard said, "Before leaving, let us stay here and give the emperor a big gift." β
"Generous gifts?" Chu Yuan smiled, "What is it?" β
The Dark Guard dragged a man out of the woods and pulled the sack off his head.
Ye Jin took a closer look and asked inexplicably, "Who?" β
I can't recognize it, and I'm embarrassed to give it away, it's not shabby.
