24. The Phoenix
The huge and luxurious pleasure boat in front of it has two pavilions, the former is divided into two floors, the latter is one more than the former, and the eaves on both sides of each floor are hung with gold lanterns, the color is dazzling. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info and the appearance is more staggering, the bow jewelry has a mighty eagle head relief, the tail is two vivid unicorn beasts, and the black dragon on the two sides is also painted with the black dragon that swallows the clouds and spits out the fog, which is extremely flashy. But at first glance, it doesn't seem to be cumbersome, but has a majestic and solemn momentum.
At this moment, in a splendor of the stern cabins.
The drapery that filled the cabin swayed in the breeze blowing in from the window, bringing up a wave of ripples.
A middle-aged man in a deep robe waited by the brazier in the innermost part of the room, his long beard and beautiful beard reflecting different shades of luster. On his arm was a blue-gray mink fur fur, the fluffy fur trembled gently, silky and soft, and people couldn't help but love it, and couldn't help but want to touch it.
The men and women by the door are wearing blue and blue clothes, one is a peach and a plum, and the other is handsome, talented and beautiful, very eye-catching. Although they stood far away, their eyes always fell on a lazy figure behind the layers of curtains, with a respectful expression.
The man leaning on the eight-treasure glazed couch lowered his slanted phoenix eyes, and his slender jade-like hand was slowly peeling a brown chestnut, extremely focused. It's obviously such a simple and boring action, but he does it very elegantly, revealing an inexplicable temptation. It seems that it is not a chestnut under the finger, but a seven-string guqin, which is randomly provoked and twisted, and it makes a magnificent music.
The chestnut meat is in the mouth, and the delicate thin lips are gently hooked.
He raised his hand and beckoned, and Qin Ya immediately stepped forward with a low brow, removed the pot full of chestnut shells from the table, and replaced it with an empty bowl.
In the interval, his voice was gentle, and he asked, "The post of the New Year's banquet in the palace has been sent to the mansion by the chamberlain, I don't know what the master plans to do?" ”
There was only the crisp sound of peeling chestnuts behind the tent, and after a while, I heard the man say nonchalantly: "Let's do it as usual." I don't have the heart to accompany those miscellaneous fish who can only play tricks and sing big dramas. ”
Qin Ya bowed his head, indicating that he understood, and then stepped aside.
Since the lord returned to Daqin and reached that agreement with Emperor Qin, although Emperor Qin was not very happy about this son in his heart, he would send a post to King Mu's mansion every year at the palace banquet without exception, as if to announce that those who were playing tricks and stumbling behind their backs did not fall out of favor.
But only these henchmen understand that in Daqin Linqiong, King Mu's Mansion is like being embattled and imprisoned. Not only Emperor Qin, but also the crown prince of the East Palace, the queen mother of the harem, and the two major families of Gao and Lu are all staring at this pearl in the sea, and the situation of the lord can be described as difficult.
If it weren't for the master's superior mind and step-by-step, I am afraid that it would have been a handful of loess by the bridge by now.
He thought, his gaze casually swept behind the tent.
How is it not admirable that this man has carved out a world of his own in such a situation?
The young girl looked out the window and muttered, "Lord, are those five children sent directly to the palace?" She thought of the stubborn and intelligent young man, and hesitated, "My subordinates think, it's better to wait a little longer?" ”
Yue Zheng shook the folding fan and answered: "People are worried. Do you think the Lord will allow accidents to happen? ”
Qingnu frowned, "Of course I didn't mean that. That young man named Ye Sheng has a heart like iron and is difficult to tame. I'm just worried that he's going to ruin the master's big deal at a critical moment. ”
"It's just a stinky boy who hasn't grown all his hair, what big deal can it do?" Yue Zheng said, "The White Tiger is known as the 'Ancient Fierce Beast', and the Lord can also make it surrender. What's more, this is just a Ye Sheng? ”
The young girl looked at him with some displeasure, "Yue Zheng, do you have to go against me?" ”
Yue Zheng smiled indifferently and shrugged her shoulders, "I'm just telling the truth, if you don't like to listen, you can cover your ears." ”
"You ......" The young girl wanted to refute, but suddenly heard a crisp cracking sound from behind a few heavy tents, and was suddenly silent.
They all knew that the Lord's only hobby was eating chestnuts, not counting the craft of making human skins, of course.
And the Lord is quite particular about eating, he enjoys the process of peeling the chestnut shell the most, and when the intact flesh is removed, the shell must be intact. When the bowl with the shell is taken out, it seems that it is still fresh chestnuts, and if you don't look carefully, you will never see that there are thin scratches on it.
The master's kung fu of peeling chestnuts is really amazing!
But when they heard the sound just now, the chestnut shells were crushed.
Under what circumstances do chestnut shells break?
It is nothing more than that the Lord is irritable, depressed, and displeased...... In short, it's when the mood is not very beautiful.
In this case, they must consciously control their mouths so that they do not make the Lord's mood worse.
Because once the Lord is in a bad mood, the people around him will definitely suffer first......
Qin Ya glared at the two people who were arguing, and was about to say something to appease the man behind the tent, but he suddenly laughed evilly, threw away the half-peeled chestnut in his hand, leaned out the curtain and grabbed the mink fur in Qin Ya's hand and draped it on his body, and said in a treacherous voice: "Let's go, go and see that little beast that is difficult to tame." ”
In the flash of light, Qin Ya only had time to see a piece of arm and wrist as white as jade flickering in front of him, and then the mink fur he was holding in his hand disappeared.
He was stunned, immediately lowered his head, stared at the pair of spotless black embroidered unicorn soft boots, and said softly "yes".
When I walked out of the cabin, it was getting dark, and there were thick clouds condensing in the sky, and the thunder was rolling, as if it was about to rain heavily.
Qin Ya took a crimson oil-paper umbrella to block the wind for the crane. As the wind raged, his hair flew inch by inch, and as far as the eye could see, five small boats were floating on the sparkling water. To his surprise, everyone was still asleep, but the young man woke up. At some point, he crossed over to another ship, and was revitalizing a woman's luck.
"Heh, it's a tenacious creature."
A low voice came from his ear, Qin Ya retracted his gaze and smiled slightly, "My subordinates have heard a rumor. It is said that in the extreme south there is a continent where no grass grows, birds and beasts are extinct, and the geese will not stop. But right there, there grew a bird called Huang. The phoenix is the beginning of heaven and earth, a divine beast bred from the essence of all things, and then returned to the South China Sea Guanyin seat, cultivating the Tao. The mythical bird has a spirit and is difficult to tame, but it is precisely like this that it is precious and unique. Therefore, it is said that the one who gets the phoenix bird will also win the world. ”
Baili Crane's blue eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly: "You said he is a phoenix? ”
Qin Ya lowered his head and said softly: "No, my subordinates just remembered this story by chance when they saw that young man." ”
"Oh?" The man's long figure was slightly on one side, squinting over.
As they spoke, a purple shadow suddenly swept across the river, and then a strong wind swung straight at the man under the red umbrella.
The change came suddenly, and Qin Ya didn't react for a while. When he stepped forward and wanted to take the woman's sharp palm, he saw the man who was talking to him sideways just now leisurely raising his sleeves, as if he was just catching the raindrops that fell from the eaves of the umbrella. But only Qin Ya's face changed several times in an instant, he was close, and the lord's seemingly light wave of his hand, but the true qi stirring in his sleeve burst like magma, almost shocking him to vomit blood.
While secretly feeling that the master's skill had improved again, he glanced at the woman who was splashed with blood.
At the moment when she flew out, she saw another white shadow like a golden peng spreading its wings, fishing for people in mid-air, and falling back on the boat.
The man's figure was like a phantom, and he saved people in the blink of an eye, but even Qinya, Qingnu, and Yue Zheng didn't see his face clearly. His light skills and attainments made the always calm and indifferent Qinya can't help but admire.
"Awan!" Ye Sheng hugged Jiang Wan's weak body, and threw his true qi behind his back with one hand.
She woke her up with internal force, but as soon as she woke up and found that there were only five of them, she immediately went berserk and rushed towards the few people above the stern of the bird ship regardless of it!
Although Jiang Wan's light skills are slightly inferior to her, she is her master after all, and her martial arts attainments are almost the same as her.
And she made a very quick move this time, as if she was dying with Ling Ran. Ye Sheng was defenseless at all, and he couldn't stop her, so he had to watch her being seriously injured by that man!
A drizzle of rain fell, and a damp mist spread over the lake.
After losing her true anger, Jiang Wan's pale face improved a little, she coughed up the blood clot choking in her throat, and saw Ye Sheng's worried face in a trance, and her eyes were slightly wet, "Ah Sheng...... Take me away......"
Ye Sheng nodded briskly and responded, "Okay." Then she turned her head to look at the few people standing on the bird's boat, her eyes were cold, "Liansi owes me, owes Awan, one day, I will get it back!" ”
The people on the ship stared at them and were unmoved.
But in the next second, even the evil figure under the red paper umbrella was slightly stunned.
The man's gloomy blue eyes looked at the empty boat, and hooked his lips a little sneeringly, "Do you want to escape?" He glanced at the three people standing behind him, and his tone was cold, "Send someone to seal the downstream, dig three feet into the ground, and you have to catch this seat!" ”
With that, he floated into the cabin.
Leaving Qin Ya and the three of them looking at each other.
Qingnu frowned and stared at the lake, "That kid is too reckless, not to mention the current weather, it is estimated that half of his life will be frozen when he goes into the water." What's more, he also took a badly wounded, half-dead woman with him? ”
Yue Zheng came to her senses from the initial surprise, and when she heard the words of the young girl at this moment, she shook her folding fan and smiled: "What, the young girl protector is worried about that kid?" Don't worry, no matter how good he is, he can't run! ”
The young girl glared at him with a crossbrow and turned to leave.
Qin Ya swept his beard across the dark and gloomy sky, and sighed faintly: "Phoenix, life is also ill-fated." ”
