Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Day of the Big Wedding - Cave Room 3
King Heng lay leisurely, listening attentively to the even breathing of the sleeping person next to him, feeling so comfortable and happy for the first time in so many years.
Ling'er was really tired, and buried her head deep under the thick quilt and fell asleep quietly.
The new house was quiet for a while, and the night was filled with a festive smell, making people feel extra warm when they breathed.
The mother-in-law who was waiting outside was very old, where could she stay up, and when she saw the dead of night, she was already dazed and almost wanted to sleep. Originally, this new house should be guarded by the big maid, but Ning Lu was angry today, and the other maids saw that no one came to send them, so they were so happy that they were lazy.
Han Yong and Han Meng were also too happy tonight, and after drinking a few more glasses of wine, his mind was inevitably a little dizzy.
At this time, in the back garden of King Heng's Mansion, a man in black quietly flew to the ground. A woman who had been waiting there stood silently in the darkness and said coldly, "Brought something?"
The man in black stretched out his hand and handed over a small baggage, and the woman took the burden without waiting for the man in black to speak, and turned around and left. I saw that this woman was light-footed, and she was very familiar with going around in King Heng's mansion, which really made people unable to figure out the direction in which she was going. For about a stick of incense, the woman stood indifferently outside King Heng's new house, and after observing left and right vigilantly, she opened the burden and gently 'shhh Looking at the corner of the woman's mouth again, there was a trace of jealousy and hatred in her eyes, and she stood for a while before turning around and disappearing into the night.
In the cave room, Ling'er didn't even have the energy to dream at this time, because she slept deeply and snored slightly from time to time.
King Heng was a shallow sleeper, but today he is not used to suddenly sleeping with one person, because he can't fall asleep even though it is already in the middle of the night. At this time, there was a sudden slight 'hissing' sound in the room, and he knew intuitively what had entered the room, and King Heng took out a few silver needles from his waist and threw them out with a wave of his hand. But there seemed to be a lot of the living thing, and now it was squirming straight towards the new bed, hissing even louder. King Heng was helpless, his legs bounced up and down from the bed, and he lit the candle casually. Only then did I find that there were no less than dozens of red rattlesnakes on the floor of the room, and these snakes were all stretched out at this time, and they were densely squirming. King Heng was taken aback, a whistle went out, Han Yong and Han Meng came instantly, and without waiting for the two to speak, King Heng said coldly: "Let Xin'er come over."
Han Meng turned around and went out, and Han Yong found something on the ground, and he pulled out the long sword on his back and was about to use force. King Heng stopped: "Don't act rashly." Flew on the bed and wrapped the sleeping Ling'er in the quilt and hugged it, turned around and put it outside. Ling'er only came to her senses after this move, since she found that she had been swept out of the house, and people politely wrapped the bed quilt, were you afraid that she would freeze to death and bear the charge of manslaughter? Immediately angry, Fang wanted to scold his mother, but he found that the situation in front of him didn't seem to be right, so he slowly wrapped himself in the quilt and moved it in to see what was happening.
Han Yong and King Heng were looking at the group of snakes in front of them, but for some reason, the group of snakes inexplicably changed the direction of crawling and crawled straight towards the door.
Ling'er saw that the expressions of the two people in the room were quite strange, and she wondered in her heart, and then followed the sight of the two, and the hairs on her body immediately stood up, and she almost wanted to shout.
The two men who were standing heard movement behind them, and then turned around. Seeing the princess like this, Han Yong grinned and hurriedly turned his face away. Seeing this, King Heng smiled indifferently at Ling'er and stretched out his hand. Ling'er hurriedly put her little hand in the big hand, and suddenly felt much safer.
At this time, Baili Xin'er hurried over, glanced at the still wriggling snakes, raised his hand, and sprinkled a handful of powdery things on the snakes. The scene, which was still hideous before, instantly turned into a pile of black and foul-smelling things, and everyone covered their mouths and noses and retreated.
Everyone followed into the study, and Baili Xin'er didn't wait for others to ask, so he said straightly: "This kind of red rattlesnake is not a product of the Central Plains, it must have been raised by someone."
King Heng pondered for a moment and said lightly: "That snake seems to be aimed at the princess."
Ling'er was already frightened, but at this time, seeing that the snake was all dead, she calmed down, and was disturbed by her dreams, her heart was full of anger, her apricot eyes glared, and she said: "Isn't it that a young lady has taken a fancy to you, and she is annoyed that you are ruthless, and she deliberately released a snake to harm me on your wedding day?"
King Heng was robbed by Ling'er this time, and he was speechless. Thinking that although he is full of economy and martial arts, it is really not a strong point to quarrel with others, and when everyone is present, his face is all bruised, blue and green for a while.
Seeing this, Baili Xin'er came over and grabbed Ling'er and said, "Good sister, the matter hasn't been clarified yet, don't blame my senior brother first, maybe there are other reasons."
Ling'er saw that several people were sneering, so he saved some face for King Heng, turned around and sat on a Taishi chair, but he was still indignant in his heart.
Baili Xin'er continued: "According to the senior brother's statement, the snake must have been specially educated before, and it is only capable of attacking my sister alone."
Han Yong then continued: "If you can choose it today, you also guess that today's mansion is happy, and you will inevitably relax your vigilance, and it is actually a scheming." As soon as he finished saying this, he knew that he had missed his mouth, and looked at King Heng out of the corner of his eyes, lest he punish himself for neglecting his duties to give people a chance. But seeing that he didn't mean to punish, he relaxed a little.
King Heng was very distressed in his heart, thinking that he would marry this beautiful woman into the mansion and watch it every day, so as not to let him suffer from the bullying of others. But I never thought that this was the first night and almost caused a catastrophe, and I couldn't help but be afraid. He raised his head and said: "After today, the guards of the palace will be added to one more level, but everyone who enters and leaves must be carefully checked, if there is a second time." At this point, he stopped, but swept his eyes to the two brothers, Han Yong and Han Meng. The two of them hurriedly bowed their heads and said in a loud voice: "The subordinates must fulfill their duties!"
King Heng saw that the matter had come to this, but he was afraid that it would be useless to rush for a while, so he said lightly: "Let's disperse."
Han Yong and Han Meng hurriedly retreated to arrange the guards, and Xin'er turned around and walked out of the door. Ling'er hurriedly stood up at this time and said, "Xin'er, wait for my sister, my sister will stay in your room for one night."
Baili Xin'er stopped and turned to look at Ling'er who was walking towards him, and then looked at King Heng behind him over Ling'er, and said, "Hehe": "The bed in Xin'er's room is very small, and it can't accommodate two people, and this day is about to be bright, and my sister can rest for a while in this study until dawn." After speaking, he smiled at Ling'er, didn't wait for him to speak, and hurriedly left, leaving Ling'er standing in place in a daze.
When Xin'er walked away, Ling'er turned back stupidly, and glared at King Heng again with a displeased face. Suddenly feeling tired, it was really too much tossing this night, with her skills in bed on weekdays, now she is really sleepy and wants to die. So he went back to the Taishi chair, swept his eyes, and said, "Bring me the big one."
King Heng hesitated, this was the first time in his life that he was sent, and he didn't react for a while. But seeing that the beautiful woman glared fiercely again, King Heng couldn't help but take a few steps in his hand and handed it over. The fox fur was originally used by King Heng to read at night, but now he was tightly wrapped around himself by Ling'er, and he felt very warm, and he fell asleep again after only a moment.
King Heng looked at the scene in front of him dramatically, since someone can sleep to such an extent, it is really rare, and I feel funny. After waiting for a while, when the beautiful woman was asleep, she gently picked her up and moved it to the small couch where she usually rested.
This night, in a quiet Taoist temple outside the capital, with the rhythmic sound of wooden fish, a Taoist priest with a fat head and big ears seemed to be calmly reciting scriptures. The dim oil lamp in the room shone on the window lattice, which made the night scene more and more cold, but this old man was wearing a coarse cloth and thin clothes, and it was obvious that he was not that ordinary person. "Chunming, come in." The old Taoist priest suddenly stopped the wooden fish he was beating in his hand and said in a deep voice.
The black-clothed man who was still hesitating outside heard the sound, slowly pushed the door in, clasped his hands into fists and saluted: "Master, the apprentice is incompetent and has not completed your old man's orders." After speaking, he knelt down and begged the master to punish him. It turned out that this apprentice was the man in black who sent the snake to the Hengwang Mansion tonight, and he did not leave after handing over the snake to the people, but followed it and hid it in the dark. It was what happened in the Hengwang Mansion tonight, and he watched it all in his eyes. Seeing that the matter was revealed, he was quite annoyed, and hesitated outside the door and did not dare to come in to explain the reason to the master.
The old Taoist priest's face was a little gloomy for only a moment, and then he smiled again, and said softly: "Do your best in everything, obey the destiny of heaven, why do you blame yourself, and go down to rest."
Chunming heard this, got up and retreated with a depressed face. He was picked up and adopted by his master from the side of the road when he was an infant, and the master provided him with food and clothing, and taught him martial arts, which he regarded as his own. Now that he is an adult at the age of sixteen, the first thing he was sent out by the master to do has failed like this, and the regret in his heart can be imagined. I didn't want to go indoors to rest, and I came to the basement of the backyard to carefully play with my treasures. When all kinds of poisonous snakes saw their masters coming, they all stretched out their letters and swam over flatteringly.
But I heard a gentle footstep coming from far and near, and Chunming didn't look back, and said dejectedly: "How can Jiu Niang come here again, if the master finds out about you, I will be punished."
The woman called Jiuniang smiled coquettishly: "Brother Ming is so afraid of that bull-nosed old way, you have repaid his kindness by sacrificing your life for him to serve these poisons, why bother to look down on yourself so cheaply."
Chunming listened to Jiu Niang's words, and couldn't help sighing: "You don't understand the complex in this, I don't care about you, what's the matter today?"
Jiu Niang's face was full of sadness, and said: "Ask the senior brother for some more charms, the previous ones were divided by the previous sisters, I naturally have to prepare a lot these days, otherwise I am afraid that my status will not be guaranteed."
Chunming couldn't help but persuade: "How many times have I told you, although that thing can make you charming and enchanting when you take it, but it is also the most toxic, and there is no cure for it over time." Is it that the king of Nari is so worthy of your fellowship?"
Jiu Niang said impatiently: "You just give it to me, why do you say these annoying words?"
Chunming took out a small white porcelain bottle from his bosom and handed it over, Jiu Niang reached out to take it, and suddenly smiled like a flower, turned around and walked away.
Chunming shook his head helplessly, and muttered to himself: "Love is the most poisonous thing, and it can't be touched."
The original name of this temple was "Cold Water View", and the old Taoist of Cold Water in the view was originally a man of wine and meat. One winter, he was drunk on the side of the road, if it wasn't for the old viewer in this view to save him, I am afraid that he would have seen the king of Hades earlier. After he woke up, he was transformed into a bishop, and he changed his mind and joined Taoism, but it was also a few years after a few years of pure heart and few desires and devoted himself to the Buddha. But since the death of the old master, he has taken over this cold water view, and the country is easy to change its nature, and it is difficult to change it, and he has done what he used to do. And there are Taoist temples that hide people's eyes and ears, especially like a fish in water. A few days ago, he got a hundred taels of silver, so he sent his apprentice to deliver something, but he didn't know that it was a disadvantage for the teacher, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
P.S wrote last night that since I suddenly fell asleep while taking care of the baby, I will make up for it now.
