Chapter 277: Swallowing Faith and Doubting

The jade pendant that Cheng Xin wears is a green jade carved Haidong green goose pendant, which interests Yunyang not in the jade pendant itself, but in how it is worn. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The jade pendants of the noble men of the Great Qi Kingdom are generally hung on their belts, and Cheng Xin hung the jade pendant on the second button next to his armpits today.

This kind of belt method has only recently emerged in Luoyang, and Yunyang has seen it several times at palace banquets, mostly on young sons, to show his uninhibited temperament.

Middle-aged men are old-fashioned and conservative, and rarely dress themselves like this, so it can be seen that this must be worn for him by a young lady of Cheng Xinxin, since there is known to be such a lady, what Yunyang can't say, but can be said through the mouth of this lady.

After the two met, Yunyang asked Cheng Xin to sit down. She asked Yinlu to serve tea, and she naturally glanced at the corner of the table and said, "The maids are careless, how can they not put incense?" After that, he got up and went to the inner hall and took out the white jade double-eared incense burner made by his grandfather.

The moment he saw this incense burner, Cheng Xin's eyes flashed with amazement. Yunyang's eyes swept over Cheng Xin's face, and his heart relaxed: "Lord Cheng is also an expert in collecting antiques and treasures, and today this is the case!" ”

Seeing Yunyang coming out of the inner hall with the incense burner, Cheng Xin got up and said: "Niangniang's Thousand Autumn Festival is coming...... Before he finished speaking, Yunyang took over: "Master Xie remembers." You see, although this incense burner is good, it needs a strange fragrance to match. ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of fingernail-sized, light blue ice like ice chips from the handkerchief in his hand, shook it in front of Cheng Xin's eyes, and then put it in the incense burner.

Cheng Xin didn't know what to mean for a while, so he had to get closer, and Yunyang took out another piece of incense and shook it in front of him again. This time, Cheng Cheng Xin reacted and quickly said: "The taste is strange, it's really rare!" ”

Yunyang took over and said: "This is still what your young lady gave to the palace during the last palace banquet, and that's all there is left, and I just used it today, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha." ”

Hearing this, Cheng Xinxin was shocked, how did Niangniang know that I had an eighteen-year-old lady? Moreover, she is only a concubine, and it is impossible for her to attend the palace banquet, let alone offer incense. Did the lady say this to let me go back and ask Madame about this incense?

So he followed Yunyang's words and said, "If the mother likes it, the minister will send someone to send some more." ”

Yunyang listened and knew that he had understood the intention, so he smiled faintly and did not speak.

Wang Chongbei frowned, staring at the two people like torches, listening to all their conversations, but found nothing unusual.

This is the reason why Yunyang dared to talk about incense in front of Wang Chongbei. Yun Yang found that Wang Chongbei never used incense, and he turned a blind eye to the palace maids who came in and out of Qiao Palace, and seemed to be completely uninterested in these, so it would be difficult for him to find out the clues when he said this in front of him.

What Yunyang showed Cheng Xin was a kind of incense that only emerged among young girls in Luoyang this year, which was very expensive, and it was often sold out in this way. Almost every charming and bright aristocratic woman has one, and the word for this incense is - jade belt!

Cheng Xin took out a silk cloth bag from his arms: "Niangniang, this long live Qianqiu Festival gift brought back to you from the front line." Yunyang took it and looked at it, it turned out to be the Fufeng paper version of "Book of Song", so he said: "Thank you for remembering such a little thing in the frontier." This book is beautifully printed, so Master Cheng might as well read more. ”

Cheng Ke confidently comprehended and hurriedly said, "The minister obeys the order." Yunyang continued: "I have heard that Lord An is a master of calligraphy today, and there is a painting that has just been painted in this palace, and I ask the adult to inscribe it." ”

Cheng Xin bowed his head and saluted: "The mother has won the award, and the minister has no place to be ashamed."

Walking to the side of the bookcase, Yunyang opened a picture of "Cold Goose Staying on the Sandbank" and asked Cheng Xin to inscribe a poem. Seeing Cheng Xin sitting in front of the bookcase pondering the words, Yun Yang turned around and took down the holly glazed toad-shaped inkstone from the bookshelf, filled it with water, and studied ink for him on the side.

As soon as this inkstone appeared in Yunyang's hand, Cheng Xin could see that it was from the hands of a famous artist, and it was a palace thing. And when he was staring at this inkstone, Yunyang's hand loosened, and the inkstone toppled over, and the water inside spilled out.

Yun Yang hurriedly said: "Drink green, come and sort out the bookcase." Then he took advantage of the moment when Yin Lu passed by Wang Chongbei, and said in a low voice: "Xiwei Mountain." After speaking, he immediately said in a natural voice: "Your Excellency, please go back, if you are free, this palace still wants to see the adult's annotation again." ”

Cheng Xinxin hurriedly bowed, although he didn't hear the sentence just now, he knew what the mountain was, and his mother asked him to go back to read the "Book of Song", so he also understood that the answer was in this book.

After Cheng Xinxin said goodbye, Yunyang leaned on the soft couch like no one else, flipped through the books he had just sent, and watched Wang Chongbei walk around the hall with an iron face.

From Cheng Xinxin coming in to leaving, Wang Chongbei did not ask anyone to enter the palace again, so it can be seen that he did not see that Yunyang passed on key information to Cheng Xinli, so Cheng Xinxin should have left the palace safely at this time.

After thinking about what happened just now, Wang Chongbei always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong. He knew that Yun Yang was very smart and often acted unexpectedly, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

He stared back at Yunyang for a long time, and saw that she was neither smug nor depressed, and there was no expression on her face at all, which made it even more difficult to judge her thoughts.

At this moment, Yunyang's brain is also running rapidly, analyzing the current situation: just now, he was in a hurry, and used incense to tell Cheng Xinxin Yudaishan, and showed him the inkstone, and he checked the "Book of Song" to find that King Lunan was keen on making porcelain, and the action of overturning and sprinkling water told him that King Lunan was implicated in an unjust case in the court at that time and was punished, and the place where he fell was Xiwei Mountain.

With these conditions, I believe that even if the place name I said at that time Cheng Xin couldn't hear it clearly, he could find it out when he checked the book after returning home. With Cheng's talent and his many years of experience in the court, it is not difficult to figure out these hints.

Knowing these two place names, Cheng Xin can deduce the location of the rebels. Yudai Mountain - the throat of Luoyang, now Taifu's people dare to put the harem concubines under house arrest, it can be seen that their main force is not far from Luoyang, and Yudai Mountain stretches for more than ten miles, which is an excellent place for the army to hide.

Xiwei Mountain - located in the southeast corner of the Great Qi Kingdom, adjacent to the Fujian Kingdom. I remember that Zhao Yuan in Yangde Palace said to Cheng Xin that day that he had found an unknown army operating on the southeast border, which happened to be consistent with the location of Xiwei Mountain.

In this way, Cheng Xin has a clear purpose in arranging troops, understanding how to allocate troops and where to stop the enemy.

Suddenly, Yunyang remembered something and suddenly felt chills all over his body.

She realizes that she has made a fatal mistake!
