Chapter 7: The Prince
Su Jiayi raised his feet and walked into Dexin Courtyard, which is different from the elegance of Yixuan, Dexin Courtyard is majestic everywhere, but the structure is a little peculiar, the two rows of towering ancient trees are not planted on both sides of the bluestone road, but are centered on the point ten steps away from the courtyard gate, stretching to both sides, so that the two rows of lush ancient trees form a triangle with the living room at the end. The trees were densely packed, and there were no weeds or flowers in them, and even the branches were neat and clean, and there was not even a bird's nest.
Su Jiayi was amazed, this Jade Lord was too strange, he actually made a triangle in his courtyard that was inconvenient to enter and exit! Following the first tree in the center bump, Su Jiayi was just about to settle down, and stretched her feet back, and the still water must be surging undercurrent.
According to Qinglan, the Jade Lord was both a general and a military advisor when he marched and fought in the army, brave and good at fighting, and had many tricks, and the most talked about by the people was the battle with Beiyan a few years ago. Obviously, the number and quality of his own military horses are several times better than the other party, and he still has to play empty city tricks with Jiang Hu, the short-tempered veteran of the enemy Beiyan, ten captures and ten releases, and the veteran is hard to shake the white beard of the old man, he is so happy that he shakes the feather fan and says interesting and interesting, so that later the peace talks between the two countries, the veteran of the Northern Yan came to Nanchu every year to participate in the emperor's birthday, and he looked friendly when he saw everyone, but he still blew his beard and glared at the Jade Prince, and kept shouting that the Jade Prince's unkindness when he withdrew the army, and he also touched the chickens and ducks in their Northern Yan military camp.
The Jade Lord has been smiling and silent about this, the emperor of last year's birthday banquet really couldn't help it, and at the banquet, he joked that the Jade Lord asked if there was such a thing, if so, I Nanchu would compensate the chicken and duck, and let the old general Jiang bring it back to Beiyan, so as not to make the old general remember it every year.
The emperor's words are also clever, one is to say that there is no shortage of chickens, ducks and geese in my Southern Chu land, and mock Beiyan in disguise for wanting to invade the small border town of Southern Chu but losing the army's feed, it is really a chicken stealing and not being able to eat rice; Second, it was a bit joking to say that this old general Jiang was really stingy, and a trivial matter was just a chicken and duck matter, and he had been remembered for several years.
The Jade Lord still smiled blindly after listening to the emperor's words, and his handsome face was a little provocative: It is a long time, the past, Xiao Wang really doesn't remember such trivial things as firewood, rice, oil and salt. After that, he winked at General Jiang.
When General Jiang heard this, he was regarded as a woman who cooked rice and made soup! Does it mean that he is petty-minded? But this chicken and duck is indeed used by the woman in the kitchen... He thought about it so entangledly, and couldn't find the words to refute it for a while, and the ministers in the hall looked at the vicissitudes of the old general's face for a while, and they couldn't help laughing. The adjutant general of General Jiang sighed silently in his heart: Alas, general, how can you be able to defeat this bastard in your mouth.
In the end, the vice president resolved the embarrassment in the name of toasting. The next day, this matter spread all over the capital, and the storytellers and singers all used it as a book, and even the women, children and old people regarded the old general Jiang, who had fought countless battles in his life, as a joke after tea and wine. Of course, with the "good name" of General Jiang, the Jade Prince, who has been idle at home for many years, also became "popular".
Su Jiayi's eyes narrowed, and a pair of apricot eyes flashed with a wise light: How could this cunning, treacherous and cynical Jade Lord casually let people enter his courtyard easily. She turned her head and asked Qinglan, "Is this yard weird?" ”
Qinglan didn't sell Guan Zi either, and said directly: "The prince has set up a formation in the tree, ordinary people who don't have martial arts will die if they don't get in ten steps, and those who are strong in martial arts can't break through twenty steps. The footwork of this formation will be changed once a month," Looking at Su Jiayi, who was looking at the tree row intently, Qinglan continued: "The prince's formation, since it was established, except for the prince, only three people have broken it. ”
Su Jiayi was hung up by Qinglan, and blurted out, "Oh? Which three of them? ”
"One is the Qingyang Taoist who comes and goes in a chic landscape, and he has a very good relationship with the prince. There is also a brilliant and amazing talent, such as the unparalleled jade Rong Shizi, Rong Shizi is talented, peerless, everyone in the capital calls him 'the color of the spring dawn hibiscus face, a smile for a thousand miles and a long song', Rong Shizi is elegant and dusty, and he is rarely seen in ordinary times..."
"Stop, stop," Su Jiayi heard Qinglan talk about this Rong Shizi endlessly, and hurriedly interrupted her, "What Rong persimmon Rong Tangerine, who is the third person?" ”
Qinglan flattened her mouth, with a hint of dissatisfaction with being interrupted, she was still immersed in the good memories of Rong Shizi, and when she heard Su Jiayi's words, she snorted three times in a row: "This Rong Shizi is not a persimmon or an orange, Rong Shizi is from Rong Wangfu..."
As soon as she heard that Qinglan was going to start giving her "popular science", the legendary girl killer, Su Jiayi reached out and pinched Qinglan's face, gritted her teeth and said, "First, third, one, person, yes, who!" ”
Qinglan screamed in pain, and after Su Jiayi let go of her hand, she said with a serious look on her face: "The third person is you, Gongzi." ”
Although Su Jiayi felt that this jade Yangzhi was all civil and military, she didn't expect that this jade Yangzhi would be perverted to such an extent, and she could break her father's formation at the age of thirteen, and pointed to her nose in surprise: "Ah? I? ”
Qinglan nodded, her face full of expressions that I definitely didn't lie to you: "Well, it's you, Childe." Unlike the unfathomable martial arts of Qingyang Dao Chang and Rong Shizi, Gongzi, you are completely outwitted and calculated by yourself. Although Childe's swordsmanship is excellent, he does not have strong internal strength, so to a certain extent, Childe, you are the first person to break the formation. ”
"So, every time I came to see the prince before, did I break the formation and enter by myself?"
Qinglan nodded.
"So, the prince won't send someone to pick me up at all, right?"
Qinglan nodded again.
"So, Qilin is powerless against this formation, right?"
Qinglan nodded very seriously again.
Su Jiayi suddenly felt like crying without tears, and looked up at the blue sky at a forty-five degree angle after the rain: God, she doesn't want to die young.
Weakly lowered his little head, and waved his hand to Chong Qinglan weakly: "Why don't we go back, now Gongzi and I, I really can't do anything about this formation." ”
Qinglan sighed: "Didn't Childe say that he wanted to know why he kept showing himself as a man?" In the past, the son did not achieve his goal and vowed not to give up. ”
Su Jiayi tilted her head and said, "Well, Qinglan, you're right, Gongzi has a way." ”
