Chapter 123: Night Banquet in the Palace (8)
The two white rays of light intersected in mid-air, and in an instant, they both turned into nothingness, canceling each other out.
can catch Qiu Lingshuang's magic light, in this world, except for Yin Heng, there is no one else.
Yin Heng came to Xiangyu in a flash, and his eyes were guarded in front of Xiangyu and Mian Li.
An angry curse suddenly sounded in the hall: "Qiu Lingshuang, you dare to use your broken guzheng against Gongzi, don't you think your life is long enough!"
Luo Zi'an bypassed everyone and walked quickly to Xiangyu, the old hen guarded Xiangyu firmly behind her, and then scolded: "You think that when you become a broken dean, you will kick your nose in the face, and you dare to be disrespectful to your son!"
Luo Zi'an has always protected Xiangyu, and whoever wants to be a little disrespectful to Xiangyu is like a cat that has stepped on its tail, grinning its teeth and revealing a fierce look, but he just didn't pounce on it and scratch the other party's face.
It's just that Qiu Lingshuang didn't care about Luo Zi'an at all.
Most of the royal faction looked like they were watching a good show with schadenfreude, while the Xiang faction was all angry.
For the Xiang faction, Xiangyu is a person who is sacred and inviolable, and is exalted by them into the clouds, how can he be presumptuous!
Qiu Lingshuang has always had a weak concept of the hierarchy of the gate valve clan, especially after becoming a ghost deterrent, he only knows the emperor, not the clan, and it is better to say that it is loyal and brave to the royal family, and if it is not good, it is a martial artist, and he has no concept of the overall situation.
But because he has the honorable title of the enemy's son-in-law, and he is a natural genius who deters ghosts, these two glories are added, so everyone still looks up to him, and all his words and deeds that deviate from the rules of the world are attributed to his natural nobility, maverick, and talent for deterring ghosts, which is actually caused by his character.
For example, now, he is openly at the palace night banquet, in front of the supreme and noble Jade Prince, showing off his ghost-deterring magic weapon, and blatantly attacking his sacrifice in front of him.
Those who do not know his temperament will think that he is openly challenging Xiangyu's authority.
But those who know it will know that he is just directly declaring his attitude in order to achieve his goal.
Most of the people in the temple belong to the latter.
Xiangyu has a soul that has lived in her body for more than 600 years, and she is more transparent than others.
He raised his hand to signal Luo Zi'an to be calm and not to be impatient, and then asked Yin Heng to step aside, and then looked at Qiu Lingshuang, who was a few steps away from the opposite side, and said lightly: "Qiu Gongzi hasn't finished his three sentences, and he is facing each other, can you give me an explanation?"
Qiu Lingshuang retracted the Zheng in his hand into qi deficiency, bowed to Xiangyu, and said with a respectful expression: "What the lower official did just now is that the lower official wants to inform Yu Gongzi, there are many offends, please forgive Yu Gongzi!"
Xiangyu was stunned: "You want to kill her." ”
Qiu Lingshuang said calmly: "Yes." ”
"In what name?"
"For the sake of Yinguo, she must die. ”
The corners of Xiangyu's mouth tugged at a sarcastic smile, he played with his two fingers, rubbed his fingertips back and forth, and after putting it down, he raised his head to look at Qiu Lingshuang with a serious face.
"Sleep hedge. He called out of his mouth.
This is the first time that Xiangyu has called him to give her the name in public.
For some reason, a full force seemed to be poured into her body in an instant, and she stepped forward, her voice firm and loud: "In." ”
"Qiu Gongzi wants to kill you, how do you answer?" Xiangyu asked.
Mian Liang glanced at Qiu Lingshuang: "The slave is waiting at any time, but the slave's life belongs to the son and the Xiang clan, so the slave will not die before being sent to the altar." ”
Xiangyu evoked a casual smile and squinted at Qiu Lingshuang: "Young Master Qiu, this is my answer, are you still satisfied?"
Qiu Lingshuang's gaze swept over the master and servant one by one, his expression remained unchanged, he bowed to Xiangyu again, and then turned around and left without saying a word.
Xiangyu looked at Qiu Lingshuang's back, and a cold light gradually quenched out of the pool of ink.
"Yu Gongzi, my son-in-law is invited, I don't know if Yu Gongzi is available?" A young man dressed as a small maid suddenly appeared, bowed down and stood beside Xiangyu, and asked in a low voice respectfully.
The cold light in Xiangyu's eyes disappeared instantly, and he turned his head and looked at the other party: "Your son-in-law?"
The little servant replied: "My son-in-law is the second son of Sheng. ”
*
Along a stone path, following the weeping willows on both banks, I walked for half a cup of tea, and stopped at the entrance of a small garden with only a half-hanging palace lamp.
The light was faint like fireflies, revealing softness, and it was quiet all around.
The little guy who was walking in front extinguished the lamp that led the way, stepped aside, stretched out his hand and said, "Yu Gongzi, please." ”
Xiangyu stepped in, and the raccoon slave who followed behind him was just about to follow, when the little guy suddenly blocked in front of the raccoon slave: "Tanuki ghost, please stop." ”
The tanuki glanced at Xiangyu's figure in front of him that was gradually disappearing into the night, hesitated, but stopped.
In the small garden, there are many shadows of trees, surrounded by famous flowers and plants.
With every step Xiangyu took, he didn't go into the darkness for a minute, he could hear the soft and slow footsteps of himself stepping on the stone floor, and after his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness, faintly, Xiangyu could see a figure, standing with his hands in his hands, standing a few steps away.
A cool breeze rushed over him, and although it was pitch black, he could still feel the greenery brought by the grass and trees all around.
Xiangyu's footsteps stopped.
The figure turned around slowly, and with a pair of eyes with a faint sheen under the faint light, he quietly looked in the direction of Xiangyu.
Sheng Wuyu bowed and saluted: "The jade prince is willing to come alone in person, which is really a blessing for the lower officials." The low and fumbled voice exudes a bleak and desolate atmosphere.
"Master Shan, why did you come here for me?" Xiangyu's cold timbre, which was obviously different from his, sounded in the night, making the night quieter.
Sheng Wuyu took a few steps closer, stared at Xiangyu's delicate and picturesque face contour through the moonlight and light and shadow, and replied: "Xiaguan made a March bet with you before, and this first game was lost by Xiaguan. ”
"You have a month left. Xiangyu said lightly.
He turned around and walked to the side, looked at the wider area ahead, and said, "You recalled Qiu Lingshuang." ”
Sheng Wuyu smiled deeply, and his hoarse voice sounded a little mad in the dark: "Even if I don't call him back, he will come back himself." ”
On the Taihua Palace, singing and dancing are leveled, and wine and all kinds of delicacies continue to be sent into the palace.
The old emperor and the ministers at the top of the place were already a little drowsy, and the queen talked with the ladies for a while, and there was a trace of tiredness on her face.
Xiangyu is not here at the moment, and she doesn't have to serve anyone, her playfulness is up again, and after getting the permission of the raccoon slave, she walks around the palace gate.
This was the first time she had come to the palace where the emperor lived, and it would be a waste not to take this opportunity to have a good look.
Considering the turmoil caused by Fang just now, and knowing that her identity was no better than other ghosts, she didn't dare to be too ostentatious, so she buried her head all the way and leaned away, quickly away from the crowd, intending to find a relatively remote and clean place.
Finally, he stopped at a lotus pond and sat quietly on the edge of the pond to watch the flowers and fish alone.
