Chapter Seventy-Eight: Asking
The always quiet Dongping County King's place suddenly became lively, and people came and went to play.
Because of the limited space of Huang Yao's urgent letter, you have to know the specific news through other channels.
"It was sudden, and it should have been done quietly at night."
"There is news that there is ground movement in Pengshui, and the casualties are unknown."
The scribe put down the newspaper in front of him.
"It is said that there are scriptures left by Wu Qing Niangniang in the Yu Mountain of the Xie family." He said, "It seems that Old Madam Xie's death, as well as Miss Roujia's escape, and this landslide are all for this. ”
The king of Dongping in front of him still looked blank and seemed to be distracted.
"Huang Yao said that when Miss Roujia jumped down, Shao Mingqing took out the First Emperor Ding." The scribe continued, "Your Highness, the First Emperor Ding, it turns out that it is really in the hands of Miss Roujia. ”
He glanced at the king of Dongping again.
"It seems that it is not only Mrs. Xie who is planning well this time, but Miss Roujia also wants to kill two birds with one stone."
Mrs. Xie wants to dig up the scriptures and make Yushan collapse and crack, and Miss Roujia can also take the opportunity to grab the scriptures and then take out the First Emperor Ding, which is really perfect.
The premise is to be alive.
If you don't live, then it's all someone else's.
"But fortunately, Xuan Zhenzi's people arrived in time, and Shao Mingqing was recommended to snatch half of the credit." The scribe said, "Presumably, the two sides have negotiated now, and the news of Peng Shui will be reported to the capital in a few days." ”
There was a moment of silence in the room after he finished.
Since the morning until now, the only sound of them has been in the room. The king of Dongping County barely opened his mouth.
"Your Highness, Huang Yao and they were all present at the time, and the prince and Shao Mingqing were already ready for everything." The scribe continued, "Miss Roujia is foolproof, but no one expected that the mountain would collapse, and Miss Roujia would jump into the mountain with the prayer stone in her arms. ”
There was another pause.
"Even if Your Highness was there at the time, I was afraid that it would be difficult to stop it."
People from all sides went, but only Yixin, who had received the grace of saving his life, said that he wanted to repay the grace of saving his life, and he didn't go to protect her. And Miss Roujia had an accident.
Your Highness is sure in your heart...
The scribe sighed inwardly.
That's all I can do to comfort him now. After all, these things are really unpredictable.
"Has Peng Shui's letter arrived?" King Dongping asked.
When he finally spoke, the scribe perked up and pushed the various papers on the table.
"It's all here." He said, "The carriages and horses are ready." Just go, you can go. ”
"I'm asking for the next letter from Peng Shui." Dongping County King said. "Yellow medicine."
The scribe was stunned.
"As for these." The king of Dongping looked at several cases. "Whether it is the First Emperor Ding, the Jingshi, or the Xuan Zhenzi, they are all irrelevant. Now I wonder if she's still alive. ”
The scribe hung his head and replied.
"This letter has just arrived, and the letter from the second day will arrive as early as tonight or tomorrow morning." He said.
The king of Dongping County hummed.
"Go down." He said.
The scribe looked up and stopped.
"Your Highness, you, mourn." He said.
The king of Dongping nodded and hummed again, but did not speak again, and the scribe had to get up and retreat.
"How is Your Highness? Do you want to eat? ”
The maid outside the door asked hurriedly, followed by a maid holding a food box.
"No, he can't eat it." The scribe said.
The maidservants had to retreat, and the guards stepped forward.
"Sir, what are we going to do now?" They asked.
The scribe looked back into the room, the doors and windows closed to isolate the figures inside.
"Wait." He said.
In the darkness of night, the scribe finally got a letter from Peng Shuilai.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, good news." He shouted in a trembling voice and burst in.
The king of Dongping County still sat in front of several cases, and he did not move in the middle of the night.
"Rescued." The scribe handed over the letter and said excitedly, "Although there are many injuries, there is no need to worry about life, and the person is still unconscious." ”
The king of Dongping County stretched out his hand to take it, because of the eagerness to send the news, he wrote fewer words this time.
He nodded, reaching out to take off the hairpin.
"Hurry up and send this." He said.
The scribe looked at the golden hairpin handed over and looked shocked.
"Your Highness, this is your self-defense." He said, "I said not to leave the body, if you hadn't taken off the hairpin, you wouldn't have fallen ill and fallen into the water......"
"There is no water at home." Dongping County King said.
There is no water in the house, but it is not a matter of having water or not having water...
"Since she came out alive, she must be safe and sound, and if she is unconscious, her soul must be damaged." The king of Dongping County put the golden hairpin on several cases and pushed it over, "This is just usable, and it is also the best use of things." ”
The scribe knew that he could not persuade him, so he had to accept it.
"And let Huang Yao ask her a word." Dongping County King said.
The scribe was stunned.
Let Huang Yao ask?
The news spreads quickly, and the pedestrian road is slow, so the hairpin is sent to save lives first, and as for the questioning, it is not too late to ask when the person arrives.
"Your Highness, won't you come over?" He asked.
The king of Dongping County hummed.
"I'll wait for her to reply." He said.
Wait again, what are you waiting for? When?
The scribe was puzzled and helpless.
………………………………………………………
The ground movement that night did not cause much damage to the ancestral house of the Xie family, the tablet had been rearranged, and the offering table had been restored to cleanliness.
The courtyard was filled with a strong smell of medicine, accompanied by a burst of bustle, and many people poured in outside the door.
Old lady Xie, who was sitting under the porch, frowned.
"What are you doing here?" He said.
"Let's see if she's dead." Mrs. Xie said with a tense face, "Isn't that how my father thinks of me?" Nothing, just say it. ”
Old Lady Xie smiled.
"I don't think of you like that, you think of yourself like that. It can be seen that you know yourself best. He said.
Unsurprisingly, the scene was once again deadlocked.
"Father, father, we just got a new doctor." Xie Wenxing played a round and said, "Ayuan personally went to Fucheng to invite me. ”
While pointing to the doctor behind him with an embarrassed face.
Old lady Xie smiled.
"What are you doing in such a hurry? When she wakes up, you force her again? He said.
"I forced her?" Mrs. Xie shouted, "Did I force her to jump?" It's her who pushes me again! In order to snatch and occupy, he did not hesitate to destroy the things handed down by his ancestors. ”
She pointed to the room.
"If she can still die, it is already intolerable! I won't hide it from you, father, and I dare to say that if she dies. I sacrificed her body. If she does not die, I will give her a sacrifice alive. ”
Old Lady Xie nodded.
"If you don't say it, I also know that you can destroy the Yushan left by your ancestors, your own mother and daughter. What is there to be reluctant towards. He said.
"I ruined what my ancestors left behind. They are the ones who have to destroy the inheritance left by their ancestors. In order to preserve the inheritance, I, Xie Yuan, can indeed deny all my mothers and children. Mrs. Xie looked at Old Lady Xie and said, then turned around and brushed her sleeves.
Xie Wenxing rubbed his hands and stomped his feet.
"Look, look." He said helplessly. It's not if you want to go, it's not if you don't go, "Father, I'll let the doctor show Jiajia." ”
"I didn't stop you, and I can't stop you." Old lady Xie said, "What are you asking me for?" ”
Xie Wenxing sneered, stopped talking, and went in with the doctor.
Shao Mingqing sped up his pace when he heard the noise in the courtyard, and met Mrs. Xie head-on.
"What are you doing here?" Shao Mingqing shouted.
"Shao Mingqing." Mrs. Xie looked at him and sneered, and then looked at the two Taoist priests who followed him, "Don't think that you can put on a Taoist robe and be a blessing in front of me, this is the territory of our Xie family, I want to drive you away now, and no one here can keep you until tomorrow!" ”
Shao Mingqing smiled.
"Okay, you can leave me alone, and then don't think about taking away my things." He said, "The First Emperor Ding that I Shao Mingqing got has nothing to do with your Xie family. ”
Mrs. Xie's face turned pale.
"You're threatening me?" She said, smiling, "How do you say that it has nothing to do with our Xie family?" ”
"Senior brother." The two Taoist priests behind him couldn't help but step forward to dissuade them.
Shao Mingqing smiled, and the corner of his eye looked aside.
"Zhou Chengzhen!" He shouted.
Only then did everyone see Zhou Chengzhen coming over at some point.
When he was first carried out of the mountain, he looked like he was about to die, but after only a day he got out of bed, and after two days he was back to normal, except for the wounds on his hands and under his clothes, and there was no sign that he was a man who had walked around the ghost gate.
Hearing Shao Mingqing's shout, Zhou Chengzhen, who was striding forward, glanced over.
"You know very well where the First Emperor Ding came from, right?" Shao Mingqing said.
"I don't know." Zhou Chengzhen said simply, retracted his gaze and went straight in.
Shao Mingqing scolded, threw down Mrs. Xie and chased after him.
Mrs. Xie glanced at Shao Mingqing with disdain and hurried away.
"Zhou Chengzhen!"
Shao Mingqing grabbed Zhou Chengzhen.
"What do you mean you don't know! What did you do, is it not clear to you? Or you're going to hurt her like this..."
Before he finished his words, Zhou Chengzhen made a mistake on his shoulder, opened his hand, and grabbed his shirt again.
"Shao Mingqing, I know what I did, you don't point fingers at me." He said.
"You know? You know it and I know it. Shao Mingqing said, "Aren't you just using her, using me, using the Xie family, and hiding the evil intentions of your Zhenbei Palace!" Now everyone knows that the First Emperor Ding was found in the Xie family, and your Zhenbei Wangfu has cleared the suspicion! Zhou Chengzhen, you ......"
He looked at him and gritted his teeth.
"You brute!"
Zhou Chengzhen raised a kick, and Shao Mingqing was kicked back a few steps.
"Fuck off." He scolded, "You think you're a brute, you're a brute, don't come and climb me." ”
Then he turned around and strode away.
"Shizi!" The voice of eight catties came from behind.
Zhou Chengzhen and Shao Mingqing both turned their heads to look and saw Bajin grabbing a person and running over.
A-tu!
Zhou Chengzhen strode over, and grabbed him without waiting for Bajin to speak.
"Lord Shizi, I only have one life left. I didn't mean to leave you guys and run away. Ah Tu immediately shouted loudly.
Just as the ground began to move and everyone ran towards the mountain, Ah Tu turned around and ran.
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Chengzhen carried him and walked inward.
"Lord Shizi." Du Jiaona was startled by Zhou Chengzhen who broke in with the medicine bowl, and as soon as she spoke, Zhou Chengzhen had already passed by her like the wind.
In the inner room, Xie Wenxing was watching the doctor diagnose Xie Roujia's pulse.
The doctor closed his eyes and frowned from time to time, and Zhou Chengzhen stepped forward to pick him up and shake him off.
"." He said.
The doctor was taken aback.
"Shizi, this..."Xie Wenxing hurriedly spoke.
"Get out of here!" Zhou Chengzhen shouted.
Xie Wenxing glanced at him, waved his hand to the doctor, and the two retreated helplessly.
Zhou Chengzhen pressed Ah Tu to the side of the bed. pointed to Xie Roujia, who was asleep on the bed.
"Wake her up." He said.
Awaken?
Du Jiaona looked at Old Lady Xie and Shao Mingqing who followed up. He looked a little surprised.
Who is this man? How can you wake up Xie Roujia, who is helpless for the doctors?
"The Xie family is a witch here, a witch is not a witch, I can't ......," Atu said.
Before the words fell, he was interrupted by Shao Mingqing.
"The Xie family has dispersed their spirits, and there is no witch ban." He said.
This was not only a surprise to Atu. Old Lady Xie also looked surprised.
"Really?" Atu shouted. Silent for a moment. I opened my eyes and was surprised, "Really, really." ”
Really.
Old Lady Xie's expression was a little complicated. Looking at the girl lying on the bed.
"I'm not here to fight for the Dannu when I came back this time, I'm going to destroy the Dannu."
"It's useless, I don't want it anymore, I don't want it, I won't let it go to them, I'm going to destroy it."
Yushan has been destroyed, the Tibetan scriptures have also been destroyed, the mountain spirit has been dispersed, and the witch ban inherited by the Xie family has also been dispersed, how long can the Xie family exist for the long house to respect the Dannu as the sky?
She still did it, but she herself was the witch of the Xie family, so was there still her own spirit that was dispersed? Will this lead to unconscious?
Old Lady Xie couldn't help but step forward and looked at the person who was reciting a strange spell by the bed.
Okay, huh? Can you bring her back to her soul?
"Nope." Ah Tu stopped and looked at the girl on the bed with some surprise, "She was originally a dead person, and her soul does not exist!" ”
Dead person? The soul does not exist?
"She's still alive, why is she dead?" Du Jiaona couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Chengzhen was stunned.
"Little girl, do I have a grudge against you?"
"Yes."
"It's true, no wonder you always look like you're going to fight with me, what kind of hatred?"
"In your last life, kill me."
The conversation that had been in my ears suddenly popped up.
You killed me in your last life......
So is she dead?
What a mess.
Zhou Chengzhen raised his hand and hit Ah Tu's head.
"Don't talk about this god's nonsense, since you know that her soul doesn't exist, find it back for me!" He shouted.
Atu hid with his head in his hands.
"Lord Shizi, I don't have that ability."
"Incompetent? If you don't have that ability, you will trade your life! ”
There was a chaotic noise in the house, and Huang Yao, who walked outside the door, stopped thoughtfully and looked down at the box in his hand.
……………………………………………………
In the afternoon, the room was quiet, Huang Yao quietly walked to the side of the bed and lifted the curtain, bent over and took out the long hair of the girl who was motionless with her eyes closed, and held it with a golden hairpin on her head.
"Wake up, wake up." He muttered,
At this time, on Yushan, Ah Tu was dancing and singing, holding a girl's clothes and shaking with eight catties.
Zhou Chengzhen looked at them motionlessly.
After a few moments, Atu stopped in a sweat.
"How? Did you get it? Bajin hurriedly asked, "Is Miss Roujia's soul on her clothes?" ”
Ah Tu glanced at Zhou Chengzhen timidly.
"Nope." He said, "I can't find it." ”
"What do you mean you can't find it?" Zhou Chengzhen shouted.
"Yes, just no." "Miss Roujia's soul isn't here. ”
"Where's that?" Zhou Chengzhen roared.
"Maybe she didn't lose it, but it was in her own body, but she couldn't wake up." Atu said.
Zhou Chengzhen snorted, thinking of the person who suggested that they go up the mountain to summon spirits. Suddenly a wit.
"Zhou Yan! You're lying to me again! He roared, turning and running down the hill.
There seemed to be a wind blowing in the quiet room, and Huang Yao looked at the slightly shaking curtain, looking nervous.
"Miss Roujia." He couldn't help but shout in a low voice.
The girl on the bed seemed to roll her eyes, and her long eyelashes stirred.
Huang Yao couldn't help but get closer.
"Miss Roujia." He shouted.
There was a low hum in his ears, and at the same time, Xie Roujia's head moved, and his eyes opened a slit.
Who's calling me?
"Miss Roujia, do you want to leave the Xie family?"
Someone whispered in his ear.
Leaving the Xie family, no longer surnamed Xie, no longer trapped with the Xie family.
She thought. I've always wanted to. But she couldn't break free, she broke free from her own hopes, and she shouldered her grandmother's expectations, and now she destroyed her grandmother's expectations. But the Xie family is still there. Whether she wants it or not. She is branded with the Xie family.
"No, there is a way." He said in a low voice, calm and soothing. "Do you want to leave?"
Xie Roujia nodded.
"Yes." She said.
There was a bang, the door was knocked open, and Shao Mingqing hurried in.
"What are you doing?" He shouted, looking at the man standing by the bed.
He recognized this as the chief secretary of the county government, and he himself introduced that he was a subordinate of the king of Dongping County, just like those guards.
Huang Yao did not panic in the slightest, but was surprised.
"Miss Roujia is awake." He said.
Shao Mingqing's words that he was going to question suddenly disappeared and pounced.
"The surname is Huang! What is Zhou Yan going to do? Zhou Chengzhen also burst in from outside the door and shouted.
Huang Yao stood beside the bed and smiled at him, pointing to the bed.
"Miss Roujia is awake." He said with a sincere face.
Awake?
Wake up!
Zhou Chengzhen immediately forgot what she was going to say and pounced.
"Xie Roujia! Xie Roujia! ”
The chaotic shouts of Shao Mingqing and Zhou Chengzhen sounded in the house, and the people outside the door also heard it, and Old Lady Xie Wenjun, Du Jiaona and others rushed one after another.
Huang Yao quietly stepped aside, looked at the happy people in the room, smiled and bowed his head and left.
………………………………………….
The news of the ground movement in Pengshui County and the appearance of the first emperor Ding with the ground movement was also placed on the emperor's desk, and the Xie family's auspicious rui shook the entire capital.
"It's not just the auspiciousness of the Xie family, it's also the clever calculation of the Xuan Zhenren people, so that the First Emperor Ding appeared in time."
The Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the news that came out of the newspaper.
"This real person, what am I saying about this sneaky busy, making people run around, it turns out that this is for this." He said, "Why don't you tell me any news?" ”
"That's a real person steady, do it first and then say it." Dongping County King said.
The Emperor nodded, threw the paperwork back onto the case, and picked up a new one.
"But this Xie family, why is there a dispute between Dannu again?" He frowned and said, "It's really not like that, but the mountain gods are really kind to them, and they can still give auspiciousness if they make a fuss like this." ”
"Your Majesty, is it the auspicious rui of the Xie family, or something else, it's better to wait for the First Emperor Ding to enter Beijing." Dongping County King said.
The emperor was stunned and looked at the king of Dongping County.
This is probably the first time he hasn't spoken for the Xie family.
"So, what do you think is strange about this?" He said.
"The minister does not dare to make conclusions, these are not what the minister has seen with his own eyes." The king of Dongping said, "It's better to ask Shao Mingqing who you have seen with your own eyes." ”
The emperor sighed, looked down at the paperwork in his hand, threw it down, and took the tea brought by the waiter.
"Oh, by the way, what are you doing today?" He said, smiling again, "I thought you were doing it for the First Emperor's business. ”
But now it seems that he doesn't want to talk about it at all.
"The minister is here to ask His Majesty for marriage." The king of Dongping County said, "The minister wants to marry the second lady of the Xie family." ”
The emperor squirted out a mouthful of tea.
