Chapter 62: Lanzhu Blood and Tears
62 Orchid Bamboo Blood and Tears
Then Qi Guogong saw that Princess Qingshi was also there, so he greeted: "Sister Qingshi, is it good?" ”
"Okay, thank you Fifth Brother for your greetings." The princess replied.
"You see, this Qi Guogong's mouth is really sweet? As soon as I saw the door to please the queen's sister, I don't know what reward the queen's sister has? Concubine Yang said with a grin.
"As soon as I came, I knew to please your sister-in-law, your fourth brother, I haven't asked you to kowtow a few more times." The emperor, who has always been unsmiling, also made fun of his younger brother.
"Your Majesty, this is blaming the subordinate brother for kowtowing to you less, and the subordinate brother will kowtow to you a few more to make up for the sin of not being able to come to greet you in the past." As Qi Guogong spoke, he was about to kneel down and kowtow.
"Alas—forget it," the emperor hurriedly stopped him, and then said: "How can I blame you for your blood, sweat, and meritorious service for your country abroad?" It's good for you to come back this time, I still have a lot to say to you. ”
"Yes! The younger brother must obey His Majesty's teachings. Qi Guogong said.
"Yes, the Duke of Qi has made an exception from His Majesty to ask for the mansion of Baoguang Temple that has just been confiscated from His Majesty, and repaired it, and gave it a gift to the Duke of Qi." The queen said.
"This ...... This reward is too valuable, the will of the court to abolish the Buddha is to return the land to the people, and the courtiers will get the mansion of this temple as soon as they come back, I am afraid that it is not good. Qi Guogong excused himself.
"You just accept it, this is what I discussed with your imperial brother, the queen and Tsukasa Zai, you are not in Chang'an all the year round, presumably the mansion is also old, repair and rebuild the Baoguang Temple, and make it a separate courtyard." The Queen Mother said.
"Well, you just take it, don't shirk." The Emperor also said.
"In that case, then...... I have thanked the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother. Qi Guogong never shirked again.
"Is the fifth brother here?" There was a sound of silver bells moving from outside, and then a beautiful girl ran in, really Princess Yiyue.
"I've seen the Duke of Qi ......" Yi Yue deliberately pretended to be very well-behaved, solemn with some playfulness, and deliberately dragged out his voice for a long time.
"Xiao Yiyue is really getting more and more beautiful, but she is getting more and more naughty." Qi Guogong said, twisting her face.
"Humph! Does the fifth brother praise me or scold me? Yi Yue asked with a puffed out of his eyes.
"Your fifth brother came back from afar, you just came here now, and you have to question your fifth brother, is this unreasonable?" The Queen Mother scolded with a smile.
"I'm the truth!" Yi Yue began to be quite unreasonable, and then said to Qi Guogong: "Yes, fifth brother, but the reason why Yi Yue came so late is completely because those girls don't pay attention to the rules and didn't notify the princess in time, it's unreasonable!" ”
"I think those girls of yours didn't find you, did they?" Princess Qingshi was pierced at once.
Everyone laughed all of a sudden, Yi Yue stomped her feet helplessly, and said to Qi Guogong: "Fifth brother, you came from Yongzhou, did you bring anything good for your sister?" ”
"Of course I can't forget my sister, not only you, but also the Queen Mother, the Queen's sister-in-law, and the two princess sisters, all of you." Qi Guogong said with a smile.
"You can just report our safety every once in a while, why do you waste that mind?" The Queen Mother said.
"Please rest assured that the Queen Mother and Your Majesty, although the ministers are in charge of the party in Yongzhou, they have never forgotten that they are relatives of the emperor, and they will never dare to do anything to loot the people. Qi Guogong explained.
"I didn't expect that you would have to find a way to raise your military salaries by yourself, is the border so tight?" The Emperor asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not that the border is tight, although the soldiers' salaries are occasionally lacking, but there are some things that still cost money." Qi Guogong was a little vague.
"Oh, talking and talking, why are you talking about state affairs again, the gift that the fifth brother gave to Yi Yue?"
"The fifth brother is in a hurry, so I'll let someone send it to my sister in the afternoon, okay?"
"Good! I waited. Yi Yue grinned.
"Xian'er, don't be busy walking yet, let's have dinner with your imperial brother at noon." The Queen Mother said.
"Dining with Your Majesty is a blessing for the courtiers, thank you Queen Mother, thank you Your Majesty." The Duke of Qi knelt down and thanked him.
After that, the Gongyu Wenxian of Qi and the Queen Mother and others talked for a while, and everyone left. On the way to dinner with the emperor, the Duke of Qi quietly said to the emperor: "Brother give Your Majesty a sin and ask Your Majesty for forgiveness." ”
As the emperor walked forward, he said, "Fifth brother, just say what you have, I forgive you for your innocence." ”
"Eh—that's the case, before entering the palace, the younger brother went to meet Tsukasa Zai, and gave the old lady two mountain ginseng......" Qi Guogong said cautiously.
"Yes, family." The Emperor said.
"It's the courtiers who messed up the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, and I hope Your Majesty will condemn you."
"I said, you are not guilty, you, I and the people of the Yuwen family of Tsukasa Zaidu don't need to see outside." The emperor did not mean to blame, and walked forward.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness!" Qi Guogong hurriedly followed.
Tao yuan.
"Helper, the Duke of Qi has returned from Yongzhou, and he went to see Yuwen Hu first, and then he saw His Majesty, and His Majesty gave him a meal together." Uncle Tian reported to Zhu Xuanzhi.
"Well, he did the right thing, although it seems to mess up the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, it is a good cover for Your Majesty." Zhu Xuanzhi said after hearing this.
"There is also the queen who rewarded the Baoguang Temple that was confiscated that day to the Duke of Qi. The gift given by the Duke of Qi to the Queen Mother is the same as the old ginseng given to the old lady of the Yuwen family. Uncle Tian continued to report.
"Your Majesty and the Queen Mother won't mind," Zhu Xuanzhi said.
"There is also the fact that the Duke of Qi brought gifts to the queen and all the maidens, Princess Qingshi, and Princess Yiyue......"
"Uncle Tian, what's wrong with you today?" Zhu Xuanzhi stared at Uncle Tian and asked.
"No ......, what's wrong, helper? Is there anything wrong? Uncle Tian was nervous for some reason.
"The news you reported today is fragmentary and irrelevant, so if you have any news, just say it." Zhu Xuanzhi continued to stare at Uncle Tian and said.
Uncle Tian saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said helplessly and carefully: "Helper, it is reported that tomorrow Chang'an will investigate the history of Tu Guan thoroughly......
"Demon Destroyer?"
"Yes......"
Zhu Xuanzhi turned around, and an infinite void appeared in his eyes, and then a raging fire of hatred ignited in this infinite void, and this fire rose from the depths of his heart, in every inch of his flesh and blood, and in his three souls and seven spirits......
Uncle Tian on the side saw Zhu Xuanzhi's thin body trembling uncontrollably in the gray-white long clothes, his disabled left hand was tightly attached to his abdomen, his right hand was pinching the prayer beads, and the joints between his fingers were already white...... Uncle Tian hurriedly stepped forward to support him, for fear that this thin but extremely tough body would fall.
Murong Mansion.
Qingshi, as usual, got up and danced a sword in the bamboo forest. Qing Shi's favorite two kinds of flowers and trees in his life, one is orchid and the other is bamboo. So she keeps many pots of orchids in the boudoir all year round, and plants a lot of bamboo in the open space outside the house.
At this time, she was dressed in white and danced with a jade dragon. It looks like a white phoenix flying in the bamboo forest. In the green bamboo forest, a layer of bamboo leaves piled up underground was carried up by the sword qi, and a few green leaves occasionally fell in the air, floating around the white shadow, but accidentally, it was cut in half by a blue light......
"Sister...... At this time, a handsome young man came to the bamboo forest, and a sharp sword was also hanging from his waist, it was Murong Qingshan.
Qing Shi saw that her younger brother was coming, but she didn't answer, and as soon as the sword turned around, she stabbed towards Qingshan. Qingshan had no choice but to draw his sword to parry. In fact, the last thing Qingshan wants is to go to her sister when she is practicing swords, because my sister often comes out of the sword to test his martial arts, and the result is naturally that he is beaten every time, and there are indispensable scoldings such as: "If you don't practice well, you will know how to play".
Today's Qingshan is in a catastrophe again, hard-headed, and tried his best to dismantle with his sister, but after dozens of rounds, he was defeated by his sister, and Qingshan had to shout: "Okay! All right! Stop fighting, admit defeat! ”
Qing Shi put away the sword, smiled and said, "Su Ri saw me practicing swords, you couldn't hide, what happened this morning?" Come over and see if you've grown? Well, it's okay, it's a little bit better than before. ”
Qingshan said with a little embarrassment: "I finally praised me once, and it is really a rare happy event to be praised by the Qing Poetry Woman." ”
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qingshi asked.
"Uh...... That, in the past few days, Tu Guan has thoroughly investigated the temple and view, and I heard that tomorrow it will be the turn of the Demon Temple. Aoyama seemed reluctant to tell his sister the news.
Hearing the words "Demon Suppression", a layer of frost slowly formed on Qing Shi's handsome face, which was originally smiling, and her eyes became cold......
"Poof!" With a sound, a blue light flashed, and a flash of bluestone stone chips in the bamboo forest splashed, and was suddenly split in half by Qing Shi's sword, Qing Shi's long sword stationed, looked at the broken stone in front of him, and smiled sadly: "Demon Punishment Concept-Demon Punishment Concept?" What kind of devil is it? Hehe! Hehehe! How could there be such an absurd and ridiculous thing in this world? Ubungo! You, the biggest demon in the world, killed the emperor and killed his brother, and brutalized Zhongliang! Unexpectedly, such a Taoist temple was built in a high-sounding place where the soul of the heroic soul fell, and it was also named Demon Punishment, which is simply ...... It's shameless! Haha, hahaha...... "At this time, Qingshi has completely lost the toned and heroic posture just now, and seems to have been deprived of his spirit all of a sudden, the long sword is stationed, he is smiling sadly, tears are rolling down his cheeks, and his heart is dripping blood......
Outside the Demon Punishment Concept, Xuanzhi and Qingshi sat in two tightly surrounded carriages, one at the east end of the road and the other at the west end of the road......
