Chapter 445: Commissioned by King Jin
On the evening of October 17 in the ninth year of Kaibao, two dusty figures knocked on Meng Shichen's courtyard door. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Their knock on the door caused waves of dogs to bark around them, which was normal, but very abnormal.
What is wrong with it? Meng Shichen understood the moment Zhang Yifeng introduced the two of them.
They are haunted by the undead, or are they evil spirits! That's why the dogs around them react so loudly, barking one after another with screams, which is really scary in the dark night. Meng Shichen's resentment when he was dug up from the bed also disappeared a lot because he saw the two of them.
One of them she knew, and was familiar with.
"Miss Meng, meet again." Yue Yi unbuttoned his black cloak and pulled out the chair, and the person who came with him sat down with a white face, and then lifted the big black hat that the cloak covered his head.
"This is the King of Jin who you saw the back of the palace last time." Yue Yi introduced with a serious face, and his face was obviously anxious.
King Jin? Zhao Guangyi!
Meng Shichen stood up in astonishment and prepared to salute, oh heaven and earth, Yue Yi in the middle of the night actually brought a prince to her house! Of course, it wasn't a good thing to look at their expressions, especially as the several entangled spirits on their shoulders suggested.
"Sir doesn't have to be formal, this time the king came here to entrust Mr. to see if there is a problem with something."
Zhao Guangyi glanced at Yue Yi, who immediately took out a piece of pure white sheep fat jade from his sleeve robe and put it on the table. Meng Shichen instantly understood that it must have been Yue Yi who recommended him to Zhao Guangyi.
But he really trusted her, obviously he failed to find the jade seal last time. Meng Shichen deliberately glanced at Yue Yi, who actually smiled at her unprecedentedly!
Meng Shichen was stunned for a moment, and then heard Zhao Guangyi continue: "This is the jade paperweight in the emperor's imperial study, and recently there have always been rumors from the palace that there is a black mist hovering over this paperweight in the imperial study. I thought it was deliberately done by a wicked person, and I punished several groups of palace people, but I still couldn't seal that statement. ā
And the emperor's illness worsened at this time, and the situation was almost dangerous. For this reason, this king secretly let Bu Zhihuo see it, and proved that this is indeed the case. But he couldn't do it. Zhao Guangyi stared at the jade paper town at a loss.
Although his face was pale and his good-looking eyebrows were twisted because of sadness, Meng Shichen still saw something very special from this person.
The spirits seemed to be just lying on his shoulders and not daring to touch his head. Yue Yi's side is different, the whole head doesn't know how many hands are entangled. It looks very scary.
This made her admire this middle-aged man who was about thirty-six or seven, had a calm temperament, and was handsome and majestic. There must be some kind of aura in him, so that the evil spirits dare not be presumptuous.
It's just that now that aura is suppressed by the palace being flooded with undead spirits, the emperor's sickness, and the thinning of purple qi. Once these are cleaned up, he will definitely shine, Meng Shichen subconsciously came up with such a thought.
"Miss Meng?" Seeing her staring at Zhao Guangyi, Yue Yi couldn't help but cough awkwardly and reminded him.
Meng Shichen immediately came back to his senses, glanced at Yue Yi, who was a little angry, embarrassedly, and pointed at him twice: "I'm thinking, wait a minute, if you see something clue from this piece of jade paperweight, can these evil spirits on your body listen?" ā
"What!" The two of them were stunned, and Yue Yi glanced at Zhao Guangyi with hindsight, and then at himself.
In comparison, Zhao Guangyi's aura is more solemn. He pushed the jade paperweight in front of Meng Shichen, and then said in a deep voice: "Get rid of them first, and then discuss this matter." ā
Meng Shichen nodded and motioned for Zhang Yifeng to make a direct move. In just a moment, all the evil spirits were eliminated, the expression on Yue Yi's face was much lighter, and after a short rest, Zhao Guangyi's face was not so pale.
"I don't see anything wrong with this jade paperweight now, it may be the room that has a problem. Jade is an object with aura, and it should be protecting the people who use the imperial study during this time. That is, their own masters. However, judging from this color, it seems that this jade paperweight will not last long. ā
Meng Shichen flipped the paperweight and checked it carefully, and found that if he wasn't careful, he couldn't see that the jade was not completely crystal clear, and some parts were a little dull.
In particular, the hand holding with a carved pattern of a strange beast is more obvious, and if you look closely, you will find that the shape of the strange beast is even more obvious. In this way, the already lifelike carvings are brought to life.
However, this is the result of the turbidity contamination of the jade paper town.
"What kind of beast is carved on this?" She pointed to the paperweight and asked Zhao Guangyi.
"I heard that the person who sent it said that it was a rui beast Pixiu, which could suppress and drive away evil spirits. That man claimed to be a Suzhou jade craftsman with an ancient Kun and Gong treasure knife in his hand, because he was grateful to the emperor for relieving him back then. I knew that the emperor didn't like luxury and extravagance, so he put his heart and soul into this jade paper with not the best jade material to repay his kindness. ā
Meng Shichen nodded thoughtfully, because the materials used are not the best jade, and the lack of spiritual energy leads to being polluted by evil qi?
"However, it's not like jade. Could it be that the craftsman deliberately said this in order to let the emperor accept his heart? And then the surface layer of the jade is not very good? Lord Wang, the folk girl felt that this piece of jade was actually very pure and strong in spiritual power, but it was polluted by stronger evil qi. ā
Meng Shichen pondered for a long time before saying all this sentence, to be honest, she didn't know if she would be beheaded if she said that there was evil spirit in the palace.
But this Jin prince doesn't look like a tyrant either, and he also said that he came to her because he believed that there was something wrong with the palace. Meng Shichen thought that he should be able to say it, so he said it in one go.
Zhao Guangyi and Yue Yi glanced at each other, and then nodded in understanding.
Meng Shichen didn't know what consensus they had reached in silence, so he only heard Zhao Guangyi say: "This king is willing to increase the commission price, please Miss Meng to go to the palace with us!" He said it very sincerely, and he gave her a fist salute.
Meng Shichen's heart almost rushed out of her heart in fright, but she still tried to stay calm and returned the salute: "Please wait a while, Lord Yue and Master Yue, I will pack some necessary things and set off." ā
Judging by the way they looked, there was no time to wait.
She called Lihua and Zhang Yifeng to clean up together, took enough of the talismans she had drawn in the time of Guigu Hall, packed up some thin soft belts, locked the door, boarded the horse, and left Zhaozhou City like an arrow at night.
It happened to be seventeen, and the moonlight and starry weather made it much easier to travel at night.
Meng Shichen didn't even have time to say hello to the black cat undead, hoping that when Li Shangying came back, she wouldn't think that she was so frightened by his confession that she ran away from home. When she left Zhaozhou, she only had this idea left.
Lihua and Zhang Yifeng leaped wildly on the side at the same speed as them, drawing two phantoms under the moon.
