Chapter 43: The Regent's Palace
The weather is clear and the wind is smooth. The girls who wear red and green smile like the wind ringing silver bells, wear flowers and butterflies to and fro, beautiful posture and graceful posture, it is the most beautiful scenery on Yiji Mountain on this day.
However, what greatly disturbed this picturesque scenery was that an old man in white clothes and white beard and white hair in the middle seemed to be facing not a group of charming women, but a fierce beast that eats people, holding his head and fleeing in all directions. The embarrassed appearance caused the girls to laugh even more.
The old man Xuanji complained bitterly, this group of women are all young and beautiful, what if the lady sees it and misunderstands?
This stinky girl even showed a kind look, if she was kind, I'm afraid there would be no bad intentions in the whole world! He didn't tell her the whereabouts of the medicine evil, just because the time had not come, and he didn't expect to let her toss this thing in order to wait for this opportunity!
"Oh?" Twilight Jiu Ge put away the sneering expression on his face, waved his hand and scolded the girls away, and said, "You said that the medicine evil is not here?" So where do you know where he is? ”
"Humph!" Old Man Xuanji hurriedly tidied up his ripped clothes, and glared at Du Jiu Ge heavily, "Three months ago, some people in the capital mysteriously came to him and took him away. After that, he never came back. If you are looking for him, go and find out who took him that day. ”
Twilight Jiu Ge twisted his eyebrows, if this is the case, the person who took away the medicine evil that day should be the person from the Regent's Palace. But Beitang Ao also said that the medicine evil will not have anything to do with the government and the imperial court, so will he go elsewhere after arriving at the Regent's Mansion?
Twilight Jiu Ge told the old man Xuanji about his doubts, but the old man shook his head with certainty, "No! When I saw that these mysterious ** had a background, I told him that if he came out after doing something for them, he must report peace to me first. But until now, I haven't received any news of the medicine evil. This shows that he has not yet departed from them. ”
Twilight Jiu Ge's heart tightened, and then he looked at the old man Xuanji in disbelief, and said tentatively, "So, it's possible that the medicine evil was killed?" What kind of friend are you, I don't want to save him when he is in danger, I came to the door and asked, you still push back, you don't care about his safety so much? ”
"Hmph, is that the kind of person I'm Xuanji?" Old Man Xuanji glared at Du Jiu Ge angrily, "I have already taken a hang for him, and the hexagram says that his life is not in danger." And, now it seems, the one who can save him from his predicament is you. ”
"Me?" Twilight Jiuge was stunned for a moment, and then exclaimed in confusion, "Then you're still stopping me?" Aren't you afraid that you've lost time, or that I'm impatient not to save him? ”
"What do you know about a stinky girl?" The old man Xuanji was furious, "I won't tell you, naturally it's because I haven't let you know the Tao, the timing is not right, not only will you not be able to help, you can't save him, but you will startle the snake and bring him danger!" As for you saying that you don't save him, it's even more impossible! If you don't save the medicine evil, what will happen to your unconscious brother? He will never wake up again in this life! ”
A look of surprise finally appeared on Twilight Jiuge's face, "Do you know the truth?" ”
She traveled alone all the way from Yanhua to Tianyu, and she didn't tell anyone about the poisoning and coma in the twilight, including Yuanye, and she also said that she wanted to find the medicine evil through the old man Xuanji, but she didn't say the reason for finding the medicine evil.
But the old man knew it so clearly...... Twilight Jiu Ge finally realized that the old man in front of him was indeed a person with great magical powers!
"Humph!" This expression obviously pleased the old man Xuanji, and his nostrils were smug to the sky, "How is it?" Trust me now, right? The stinky girl dared to laugh at me for being a god!
It turned out that he was still struggling with the fact that Twilight Jiuge called him a "god stick".
Since the medicine evil is not here, it is most likely still in the Regent's Palace. Twilight Jiu Ge sighed and prepared to prepare for the Qianwang Tianyu Emperor's capital Taiyi City.
Taiyi City is the largest and richest city in the entire Xizhou continent. Five days later, Du Jiu Ge led the horse and stood at the gate of Taiyi City, looking at the three towering characters on the city gate, and suddenly felt a thick and majestic aura rushing towards him.
"Mama, the door of his house is so big......" Twilight raised her face and opened her small mouth in amazement.
The child grew up fast, but after a few days' work, the twilight's little face was obviously much whiter and ruddy, and a pair of big eyes were more black and round, and the ink was as dark as a black crystal. It's just that there is still little flesh on the cheeks, and the body is also very thin. I can't make it up for a while.
It seems that raising a fat son is still a long and long process.
The corners of Twilight Jiuge's mouth curled slightly, and she nodded, "Don't you think it's good-looking?" In the future, will we install such a gate in our house? ”
"Good!" The crisp voice of twilight sounded, and he nodded his head vigorously. While happily lifting his little short legs, he kicked the horse's belly.
When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard the conversation between the mother and the son, they could not speak in astonishment. This is the gate of Taiyi City, can she be the gate of the courtyard for anyone? Besides, even if you have more money, can you buy the entire Taiyi City?
The soldier smiled disdainfully, and was about to make a sarcastic remark, when he suddenly saw the woman in red cast a faint glance. The soldier was startled, just by looking at it, he felt a strong oppression rushing towards him, and the coldness in his eyes suddenly made him feel a chill in his heart, and he couldn't say the words that came to his mouth.
But the woman seemed to be unaware, patted the horse's neck with a smile, and said to the other man beside her, "Let's go, let's go into the city!" ”
The child on horseback shouted happily, "Go to the city, go to the city!" ”
It was getting late, and Twilight Jiuge and Yuan Ye had difficulty moving with Twilight, so they first found an inn, handed Twilight to Yuan Ye, and ordered a big table for them to eat slowly, while she went to the street alone.
"Where am I going?" Twilight looked up at the field in confusion.
"Probably got you Daddy!" Yuan Ye, who was treated as a daddy, was very unhappy, but he couldn't blackface Twilight, so he viciously cursed Twilight Jiuge to Twilight for not finding his father.
"You're talking nonsense." Twilight had a "you're really pitiful" expression, "Ma Ma must have lied to you!" Because my dad is long dead! ”
The child doesn't understand what the concept of "death" is, and he has no feelings for his father, who has never met, and he doesn't mean to be sad at all.
Yuan Ye didn't expect that he would be despised by a child, and his face was suddenly full of black lines, but Twilight's contempt and pity eyes refused to take it back, making Yuan Ye feel that if he didn't explain it to him, I am afraid that this guy would have to look at him with such maddening eyes in the future.
So the field tried to say to Twilight seriously, "Of course I know the way. So your mom went to find you a new daddy. ”
Twilight nodded as if she didn't understand, and suddenly looked sideways at Yuan Ye again, and wondered, "Uncle Yuan Ye, can't you be my father, why do you have to go outside to find it?" ”
Just as Yuan Ye and Twilight were discussing the topic of finding Daddy, Twilight Jiuge had already changed his outfit and appearance, and swaggered to sit at the wonton stall not far from the Regent's Mansion, and said with a wave of his hand, "Boss, come to a bowl of wontons, don't put wontons, just green onions and ginger!" ”
"Little brother is really joking." The owner of the wonton stall was an uncle in his sixties, and he quickly brought it with a smile, and there were no other customers at the stall, so the uncle sat down next to Twilight Jiu Ge and gossiped with her enthusiastically, "Little brother is not a local, is he?" ”
Twilight Jiu Ge was wearing a lake-blue robe right now, his hair stood up high, his face was stained with ginger juice and two moustaches, he deliberately lowered his voice, and he was holding a vassal elegant folding fan in his hand.
"No," Twilight Jiuge took a sip of the soup and found that the soup was surprisingly delicious, and continued, "I only came to this Taiyi City today, and I don't know anything about it, and the aunt who bought vegetables over there told me that your wontons are good, and I came here to admire it!" ”
"Hehe, this is my ancestral craft!" Speaking of his wontons, the old man suddenly showed a proud smile on his face, "Little brother is good to eat!" ”
While eating, Twilight Jiuge smacked his lips at the old man absently, "Whose house is that?" It's so magnificent, it's more than three times bigger than my house......"
"Shhhhh That's our Tianyu Regent's Mansion! Little brother, you don't know about the Regent's Mansion in the Dao Road, right? ”
"Knowing the way, how come you don't know the way!" Twilight Jiuge grinned and said as he ate, "Is there anyone in our Tianyu who doesn't know Lord Regent?" But then again, I'm from Gouyi Town. This day is far away from Emperor Gao, I have heard of it, but I really don't know much about it......"
When the uncle heard this, he was surprised and said, "Gou Yi Town, that's far away!" Speaking of which, our regent, that is really power-leaning towards the government and the opposition! Even the emperor has to listen to him! I don't understand those things in the court, just look at this mansion, tsk, look at this magnificence! I've heard that it's almost the same as the Imperial Palace! ”
"Hmm." Twilight nodded thoughtfully, "Of course, look at these guards at the door, how can the people next to them be so magnificent?" ”
"It's nothing," the old man waved his hand, "and there are more people in places we can't see!" Last time, there was a thief, somehow let the eagle peck his eyes, and he went to the Regent's Mansion to steal something, and before he could enter the door, he was cut off by someone with a knife! Ouch, that blood......"
Twilight Jiuge is dedicated to three purposes, eating wontons and talking while paying attention to the time when the guards at the gate of the Regent's Mansion change guards. After staying for almost an evening, Twilight Jiuge finally figured out the law of their change of guard.
She paid the bill and left satisfied, "Uncle, the wontons are good, I have a chance to bring my friends!" ”
Twilight returned to the inn and took a shower to wash off the dust and fatigue, then fell asleep on the big bed.
It was still early, and she had to wait until the early hours of the morning, when people's energy was at their worst, reaching the limit of the day. At that time, it is most conducive to doing things in secret, so until then, you must recharge your energy and keep your energy full.
At a quarter past 0:00 in the morning, Twilight Jiuge got up in good spirits. Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed......
