Chapter 3 Luminous Colors
Shi Qingyi, who walked out of the mountains and forests, was already completely different at this time, and the seven people who traveled with him had been sleeping forever in the mountains and forests behind him, and now at this point, Shi Qingyi naturally could not look for the power of the Tianlian Sect anymore, but fortunately, it was already Guanzhong here, and the post stations extended in all directions, Shi Qingyi spent some silver, so he hired a suitable carriage to rush to Daxing City.
Driving the car is a weathered old man, the car is very stable, Shi Qingyi has nothing to do on the road, so he talked to the old man, the old man went south and north, so he is well-informed, Shi Qingyi is a man in two lives, although the knowledge is not very clever, but it is also very unique, but also let the old man greatly surprised, just like that, although the old and the young are hired and employed, they get along very well. Because Shi Qingyi went to Daxing City, he asked the old man more about the situation in Daxing City, and also learned a big thing from the old man's mouth:
The eldest grandson is dead!!!
If you have read his life, you will definitely say: Wow, cow, of course, it doesn't matter if you haven't seen it, one word is enough to tell you - kill two birds with one stone. Changsun Sheng is such a great power, he was young with one stone and two eagles, and later made great achievements in the battles with the Turks many times, successfully divided the Turks, and made the Turkic strength collapse, such a shocking achievement! In the court of the Great Sui, it is recognized that there is Pei Ju in Wen and Sun Sheng in Wu, which are the two pillars of stability at the border and deterrence of foreign enemies. And now, one of them has fallen.
If it's just Changsun Sheng dead, although it is a sensation, it is not earth-shattering, after all, people always have to die, and Changsun Sheng is also old, and his perennial battle body has long been hollowed out. , when he died, his wife and children were by his side, and there was no regret, but on the second day of Changsun Sheng's burial, another sensational news exploded in Changsun's house: the current head of the Changsun family, Changsun Anye, who had just taken over the name of the head of the family, drove his little mother and two younger siblings out of the gate of the eldest grandson's house. The Gao family is the continuation of the eldest grandson, so her children are also grandchildren, but they are young, and it is really unreasonable for the elder brother to treat his stepmother and younger siblings like this. Now that Gao is helpless with his two children, how will he live!
Speaking of this, even the old man who was driving the car was indignant, "Dad just died, so he couldn't wait to drive away his stepmother and young brothers and sisters, this eldest grandson Anye is really not a thing, hmph, the eldest grandson's family will lose sooner or later in the body of this loser." This time Shi Qingyi only listened quietly, but did not talk to the old man as usual, after the death of the father, the children fought for the family property, Shi Qingyi's previous life can be more, although she (he) experience at that time was not extensive, but in the era of information explosion, all kinds of television, newspapers, the Internet, regular media, gossip, absolutely dazzling, coupled with false rumors and fraud, an event can definitely make N versions, and it is never the same. But that's it, this eldest grandson Anye has gone too far. With such a person, Shi Qingyi can almost determine what kind of person he is.
Just inherited the family business and couldn't wait to get rid of his stepmother's family, completely ignoring the fact that his father had just died, proving that he lacked family affection, and he had no scheming, if he had a little city, then he would never do such a stupid thing that attracted criticism, and did it at such a sensitive moment, in addition to showing that this person is very mentally retarded. Shi Qingyi couldn't see anything else, and letting such a person inherit the eldest grandson's family business would simply be the end of the eldest grandson's family. Shi Qingyi thought about it, thought about it, and suddenly laughed out loud, hey, I thought too much, the affairs of the eldest grandson's family have nothing to do with his own dime, what are you worried about? It's the cranky thinking that I have developed since I was born, and I can't always correct it, and it's no wonder that an adult's thinking is stuffed into a baby's body, so he can't do anything but think blindly, and the problem fell at that time, until now.
"It's a disease! Gotta cure!! Shi Qingyi made a face, and he didn't know how many times he had given a critical illness notice to himself. (Note: Cranky thinking is a precursor to various mental illnesses)
The wind will be windy at night in Guanzhong, so it will be very cold, more than 20 carriages are parked in the dilapidated post house, which seems a little crowded, in addition to the coachmen and their carriages, there are also more than twice the number of passing passengers, most of them are guests of the carriage, a small number of them are solo travelers, the post house is free, but only hay paving, if you spend more money, you can rent a small room from the post man to rest. Most of the travelers chose to stay in their carriages, while the single travelers had to work together with the coachmen to set up bonfires in the hall to ward off the cold.
It was still early, and Shi Qingyi was also sleepy, so he was with the old man, and seven or eight coachmen gathered around a bonfire, watching the coachmen talk about what they saw and heard. As early as when she walked out of the mountains and forests, Shi Qingyi disguised herself, at this time she was just an ordinary little girl, so she sat in a group of coachmen, although it was a little rare, but it was not weird. The coachmen had a hard time, and a carriage was almost half of their belongings, so they almost never rested, and traveled back and forth on the road for many years. After a few trips back and forth, the coachmen and coachmen became familiar with each other, and the pile where Shi Qingyi was located were all acquaintances, and the old man was also respectfully called a "second master" and sat in a good position on the leeward......
The drivers talked most about their respective living situations, and when everyone talked about their own situation, the mood of the group of people couldn't help but be a little heavier. Life is hard! Since the first year of the Great Cause, since the enthronement of King Jin, the whole country has built a lot of construction, the annual conscription of service far exceeds the period of Emperor Wen in the world, the cool officials are harsh, many people go to serve and never come back, the coachmen here are the good people who live in Guanzhong in the times, once they meet these conscriptions, they must cry bitterly, you know, every time the people are conscripted to serve the conscription, they must select the strongest young laborers, prepare their own rations, and then collect together. Without the work of young people, the grain output of the farmland was greatly reduced, and the length of service varied, ranging from a few months to a long time, and many families were dragged down, coupled with the cruelty of the officials, disease, starvation and high-intensity physical labor, many people died tragically.
"Actually, we're lucky!" A big man with a darker face and a beard said in a muffled voice, "I have been to Henan, and the people there have been called to dig canals. This digging is five years, not to mention the youth, even the old people and women have gone up. "This big man is very fresh, and his car is very gorgeous, at first glance, only people with status can afford to sit, and this big man is not like a handlebar type, but like the head of the valve aristocracy, after finding that he has become the focus of the hall, the big man is obviously a little uncomfortable, so he no longer speaks, waiting for other people's attention to move away from him.
However, the words of the great han obviously had a great shock to the people here, and with the human tragedies mentioned earlier, the hall was already like a boiling pot, and at this moment, the awe of these travelers and coachmen for the imperial power disappeared. They spoke loudly about the tyranny of the emperor, the harsh rebuke of the officials, and expressed their dissatisfaction. Completely forgetting where he was, it was the regular post house of the Great Sui Dynasty, with a high shout, the post house official appeared in front of everyone, he interrupted the discussion in the hall, and his tone was very angry: "Okay, you are impatient, dare to say bad things about the emperor here, I think your life is long, even if you want to die, don't even bring Lao Tzu with you, and add your wife and children." The words were poured on everyone like a basin of cold water, and the hall of the post station became silent for a while. Many people's faces turned pale - slandering the emperor is a serious crime. Seeing that no one squeaked, the post officer scolded loudly a few words, and then left with a hum, and after a while, there was a low voice in the hall, and now everyone had no intention of talking, so they said goodbye and returned to their carriage, and everyone tried to stay away from the others, as if they were close, as if something terrible had happened.
Shi Qingyi also returned to the car, this carriage is actually very small, it can only make people curl up and lie down, Shi Qingyi is not sleepy, but he is curious about the identity of the owner of the gorgeous carriage. Just when the post officer was powerful, Shi Qingyi lowered his eyebrows on the surface, but secretly observed people's faces, most of the old people can not change their complexions, and there are very few young ones, but if there is no fear of only the strange dark man, a caretaker can still not be afraid of the imperial power, then what kind of noble should the owner of this house be, Shi Qingyi wants to know. And she knew, she would soon know.
The wind blew through the window of the carriage, whining, the carriage could not be placed in the post hall hall, it was all placed outside, the coachman leaned on the side of the carriage to sleep in the open air, the second master was different, he got under the car, because the car can be a good block from the wind and rain, so that he can sleep beautifully. The second master is also one of the people whose face has not changed, and an old man like him has really taken a light look at Yiqiē. In fact, there is some wisdom that can only be learned when you are old. Young, after all, still too young.
As Shi Qingyi thought, sure enough, in the second half of the night, the local messenger came to arrest people, and the leader was the messenger of the post house, as well as a few companions of the second master who were also handlebar-style - in order not to be implicated, they shamelessly became informers. The first thing to be surrounded was the ornate carriage. Facing more than 30 servants on the opposite side, the big man who drove the car did not look at them, just when the two parties were about to fight, the carriage door opened, a beautiful little maid stood up, walked to the leader of the errand, and talked to him in a low voice, their voices were very low, even if they were close at hand, they could not hear what they were saying, after a while, the maid returned to the carriage, but the leader of the errand returned to the group of errands with a pale face, and ordered to relieve the siege and leave. This situation surprised not only others, but even the errand officers did not know why. I can't figure out the situation. Shi Qingyi had already been interested in her when the servant girl came out, and when he saw her talking to the errand officer, he was even more concentrated, wanting to hear what they said, but unfortunately, the voice was too small, and Shi Qingyi only heard a few words, but it was enough, Shi Qingyi had roughly guessed their identity, indeed, only with that kind of family background could they despise the imperial power and not care about it, because they were once the royal family, and now they are the relatives of the royal family - the Xiliang Xiao family. It's just that I don't know who are in the car, and who are the characters of the Xiao family.
Since the errand was here to arrest people, it was natural that he could not just go back, so the passing travelers and handlebar members were checked one by one, and from time to time there were sounds of crying and tearing and scolding, and it sounded that someone was in conflict with the officers. Therefore, it turned into a fight, but the servants were outnumbered and knew how to cooperate, compared to the travelers who were completely on their own, and were soon tied up with a bruised nose and swollen face. Dragged out.
When the errand officer came to the second master's carriage, Shi Qingyi had already jumped out of the carriage and showed a gentle and harmless smile to the visitor, although he had been put on makeup, as long as Shi Qingyi wanted to, then any expression could be made, making people relax their vigilance. Lu Yin was made by An Long, it was absolutely true and effective, Shi Qingyi came to Chang'an to join his relatives, and her words made the errand officer unable to find a flaw, and at this moment Shi Qingyi's demeanor at this time was the kind of little sister next door, so that the errand let her go lightly and went to check the next family, Shi Qingyi then withdrew his acting skills, returned to the carriage and began to rest.
At dawn, the coachmen began to lead the carriages out of the post station one by one, and in the gorgeous carriage, a pair of beautiful mother and daughter were freshening up under the service of the little maid, and the carriage was very stable, and the bumps in the ground were almost not felt. "Queen Mother, Thirteen is really talkative, if it weren't for his words to make the people there talk a lot, there wouldn't be so many people rushing in, well, I'm still very sleepy! When you meet in the capital, you must let your father teach him a hard lesson! It turned out that this mother and daughter were the current queen Empress Xiao and her daughter, fifteen-year-old Princess Jier, but at this time, Princess Jill was a little angry, after all, people don't sleep in the middle of the night, for a young girl, but a big sin, Queen Xiao looked at her beloved daughter lovingly, and gently stroked her daughter's head with her hand: "Silly child, your father and emperor are so busy that he can't eat well, how can you still use these trivial things to embarrass him, leave it to your mother!" "Well," Princess Jill snuggled up to Queen Xiao's body coquettishly, "Mother, I miss my father, let's hurry back to Luoyang!" Empress Xiao smiled and patted her daughter's little head: "Well, when we return to Daxing City and meet with several important ministers and the families of some important ministers, we will go back immediately." "That's great!" The little princess cheered, "It's best to be the queen mother, hey, the queen mother must miss her father." Listening to the little princess's words, Queen Xiao smiled gently, reached out and hugged her daughter into her arms, gently stroking, the little princess giggled, because the queen mother was thinking about her father, but she didn't think right, Queen Xiao was indeed thinking about the emperor, but it was not what Princess Jill imagined.
Empress Xiao fell into her own thoughts, she was the most neglected princess of the Xiao family in Xiliang, but she was selected because of her birth date and Yang Guang, the king of Jin at that time, and became the princess of King Jin. When he finally forced his father to death and became the master of this country, the patience of those years was completely released at this moment, he loved to show off, loved fame, and liked to build a large number of buildings, and this qiē was built on the basis of the people, just like that, under his rule, the people were not able to make a living.
As such a tyrant woman, Empress Xiao is lucky, because Yang Guang is not lustful and attaches importance to her family, but Empress Xiao is unlucky, because she knows the tragic consequences of continuing such atrocities, and what that man did, she couldn't stop.
It can be regarded as a small struggle, this time she went home to visit relatives, she did not choose a huge convoy, but only a carriage, a maidservant, a guard, and left the eastern capital Luoyang with her daughter, and lived in Jiangling for a few months, and now it is the return journey, Queen Xiao had to take Guanzhong, through Daxing City and then eastward, to Luoyang, because the queen travels the same as the emperor, and also has the responsibility of inspecting and comforting the place, so Queen Xiao is not a straight line back to the eastern capital.
The carriage was driven by four fine horses of pure white coat, and it was very fast, so that although it was the last to set off from the inn, it quickly became the first, and soon moved away from the first carriage and horses, and gradually disappeared. Looking at the dusty road, Shi Qingyi couldn't help but have a trace of envy, angry horses and flowers, happy enmity, this is the life that Shi Qingyi yearns for, but unfortunately, there is no hope in this life, Shi Qingyi looked at his weak body, and thought depressedly.
The second master's car is actually very fast in the carriage and horse shop, but it is immediately dwarfed by the gorgeous car, no way, other people's horses are good horses, and the best horses in the carriage and horse shop are only horses, which cannot be compared at all. Fortunately, Shi Qingyi was not in a hurry, or she didn't have any plans at all, she just took one step at a time, so she didn't have any requirements for time. The second master also drove the car with peace of mind, and the two of them with Shi Qingyi moved towards Daxing City without hurrying.
In this way, another day and night passed, in the afternoon of the next day, when the figure was slanting westward, Shi Qingyi finally arrived at the city of Daxing City, and saw the pedestrians coming and going inside and outside the city gate from a distance, and the three neat big characters on the city gate: Vermilion Bird Gate.
Weapon: Red Silk
Kind: A single-edged sword
Length: three feet seven
Additional Attribute: Coercion
Yueshan made of the remaining materials of the sword, made by Shi Qingyi himself, it took three years to make, with a single-sided blade, which is conducive to chopping, and the tip of the sword is double-sided to facilitate piercing and cutting. It is close to the style of the Tang knife and the Japanese knife in later generations. The body of the sword is gray and blue, and the injection of true qi is slightly reddish, so it was named red by Shi Qingyi.
Disguise
Type: Mystic
Function: The ability to disguise a person as another person, or a familiar person as a stranger.
Transfiguration is a very fine, complex art, and the human skin mask can be disguised as long as it is worn on the face, the transfiguration technique emphasizes a variety of dyes, clothing, demeanor to change their own skin color, body shape, temperament, so that a person from head to toe to change the camouflage, the shallow transfiguration can be seen everywhere on the rivers and lakes, but if you want to completely make familiar people unrecognizable, it is a very advanced transfiguration, because the transfiguration technique is very difficult to achieve high depth, and it is not as convenient as the human skin mask, So it has gradually withdrawn from the rivers and lakes and is slowly being lost.
There are still people who know how to use top-level disguise techniques, an example is Shi Zhixuan, he doesn't have a skin mask, and he doesn't even bother to use dye potions, just by changing his clothes, plus his true qi and changing his face, he perfectly plays three different celebrities. If it weren't for Xu Ziling's spiritual sense being too keen, he wouldn't have realized that those three people were Shi Zhixuan himself, of course, Shi Zhixuan's split personality is also an important reason why he can perform perfectly for decades.
