Chapter Twenty-Nine: Father's Kindness and Son's Filial Piety

It didn't take too long to go to Yinpo Village and then turn back to Niangniang Mountain.

Xu Buling took Chu Chu over the mountains and mountains back to the village, and the old and young in the village gathered, and Zhongli Jiujiu was asking Li Erbo if there were outsiders who had come to the village recently.

Seeing Xu Buling coming back, Zhongli Jiujiu walked quickly to him, checked the two of them first, and after making sure that they were not injured, he asked:

"How's it going?"

There were many people in the village, and after Xu Buling explained a few words to the elders of the village who came to ask, he took Jiu Jiu to the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain, and said softly on the way:

"Zhan Bao was exterminated, this time the matter of South Vietnam, must have come to me, Zhan Bao wrote a 'prince' before he died, I am afraid that it refers to the second prince Chen Ju, who is now in power.

At present, 20,000 Xiliang troops are on the way to come, and when the army arrives, they will fight South Vietnam no matter what. It's also a good thing to be sure that someone is behind the scenes, and if it's really the South Vietnamese court, when the time comes, there will be no need to use 'disappearance' as an excuse. We have to go to Yongzhou to have a look, find out about this matter, and find out the whereabouts of Aunt Gui by the way. ”

Zhongli Chuchu followed beside him and interjected: "Zhan Bao was hit by a poisonous needle, his skin burst, and his seven orifices bled to death, it looks like the rotten bone needle that Master said. ”

"Rotten bone needles?"

When Zhongli Jiujiu heard this, he frowned slightly, and his face became serious.

Xu Buling Fang Cai was also shocked by Zhan Bao's miserable appearance, not to mention anything else, judging from the death phase alone, the rotten bone needle was more vicious than the lock dragon Gu. He asked:

"What's the Rotten Bone Needle?"

Zhongli Jiujiu thought about it: "It's Sikong Zhi's signature stunt, and many masters in the rivers and lakes of Nanyue are buried under this poison. The rotten bone needle is extremely toxic, once it is hit, there is no chance to take medicine, the middle limbs can still be broken to save their lives, and the middle torso is difficult to save. As far as I know, it seems that there is only one hand in the whole of South Vietnam, and if he wants to kill him, he should not use such an obvious method......"

Xu Buling heard that it was Sikong Zhi among the Seven Stars of South Vietnam, and suddenly his heart suddenly felt in his heart, no wonder he was moving so fast, if any miscellaneous fish was so powerful, then South Vietnam would not have to break in. He shook his head and said:

"Sikong Zhi must have been watching us near the stockade, and after finding that it was not poisonous to me, he ran to kill us. It's just that I ran too fast, and he estimated that he didn't have time to deal with the scene, so he could only shoot Zhan Bao with a poison needle at a long distance. ”

Zhongli Jiujiu thought about it, Xu Buling is invincible in the world, you can't run horses in the mountains, and there are few people in the world who are faster than Xu Buling, maybe it's really the case.

"Sikong Zhi is rumored to be a person from the Hundred Worm Valley in front of Jiazi, and he has been famous for many years, but he has always seen the head and tail of the dragon, and there is no one who has seen him alive, even if he recognizes it, it is useless, I still have to go and see what prince it is."

"I don't know if there is any eyeliner around, go back to the yard first, and take advantage of the night to go quietly."

Xu Buling looked around, although there was moonlight in the mountains and forests, it was obviously not easy to find potential eyeliner, so he took the master and apprentice back to the small courtyard, closed the doors and windows, and then released the tool bird to find someone in the mountains and forests in the four directions.

————

After a toss in the middle of the night, both the master and apprentice were a little frightened.

After Zhongli Jiujiu returned to the room, he began to check in the corners to avoid other poisons that had not been found.

Zhongli Chuchu was also helping in the house, but just after looking around in the house, he saw two small bells placed next to the pillow, and the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to clean it up when he went out.

Zhongli Chuchu blinked, walked over, picked it up and looked at it.

The bell is made of sterling silver, and the small hat on it is aqua blue, which is made by Xiao Xiang'er, and the workmanship can be described as exquisite to the extreme, and the shiny ones are better than jewelry.

Zhongli Chuchu is obviously the same as Cui Xiaowan, he thinks it looks good, but he can't figure out where to wear it. She raised her hand and shook it, then tried to put it on her head.

Jingle Bell –

The crisp sound of the bell alarmed the couple in the house.

Zhongli Jiujiu's body stiffened slightly, and his face turned red again when he finally returned to normal, and he subconsciously tightened his shirt and glanced back. Seeing Chu Chu put it on his head stupidly, he didn't know what he was doing, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, lowered his head and saw everything.

Xu Buling was packing the package next to him, and when he heard the sound, he turned his eyes and looked at it, his expression was embarrassed, he walked to him, and said with a smile:

"Chu Chu, what are you doing?"

Zhongli Chuchu hurriedly withdrew his hand, and saw that Xu Buling had already arrived in front of him, and put it back to cover his ears and steal the bell, so he said casually:

"This thing is very beautiful, the jewelry you gave to Master?"

Xu Buling blinked: "Xiang'er sent it, hmm...... It's also jewelry. ”

Zhongli Chuchu nodded, looked back and forth for a long time, and then asked:

"How do you wear it? I haven't seen Master wear it. ”

If you've seen it, something has happened......

Xu Buling secretly muttered, and his eyes subconsciously glanced at Chu Chu's clothes.

Chu Chu is a standard beauty in the Western Regions, with white skin and long legs, and her figure is already more spectacular than that of a woman in the Central Plains.

Thinking of the turbulent scene of Chu Chu with a bell, Xu Buling's heart jumped, he turned his gaze away, and explained:

"You can't wear it if you play with it in your hand."

Zhongli Chuchu felt that Xu Buling's expression was a little strange, just looking at the delicate little bell, he couldn't think of any improper use, and let out an "oh" in disbelief.

Zhongli Jiujiu turned his back to the two of them, his heart was pounding, he was really afraid that Chu Chu would find out the flowers she was playing with again, and answered:

"It's not an important object, you can play with it if you like, and make two more when you get back."

Zhongli Chuchu really liked these two little bells, and felt that it was more suitable to hang them on the camel's neck as camel bells, so he didn't refuse, and put them in his arms and put them away:

"Thank you, Master."

"Master and apprentice, thank you for what? You're going to ...... in the future anyway."

"Huh?"

“…… Nothing ......."

……

------

The clouds covered the moon, and the heavens and the earth darkened.

There are still lights in the streets and alleys of Yongzhou, the national capital, but Nanyue is not as good as Chang'an, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets in the middle of the night.

Many places in Yongzhou City refer to Chang'an City, Chaohuang Street in the middle is modeled after the Zhuque Street in Chang'an City, and the Imperial Palace is also at the end of Chaohuang Street, but from the scale to the number of buildings, it is much smaller than the Imperial City of Chang'an City, which can only be said to be magnificent, not majestic.

The palace gate of the imperial city has been closed, the harem is sparsely populated, and the number of palace maids and concubines is not much.

However, both emperors, Chen Jin and Song Ji are very different, Song Ji has few people in the harem, he is indifferent to Hongchen and is obsessed with power, and even the queen can be a chess piece.

Chen Jin is more like an ordinary man, young and intelligent, he became a prince, and after succeeding to the throne, he was also diligent in political affairs and kept the court in good order. Later, he was addicted to the gentle township and couldn't extricate himself, and the harem was favored by three thousand people, and after losing his beloved wife, he collapsed until he was crazy and bedridden.

As an emperor, Chen Jin is definitely not as good as Song Ji, but as a man, Chen Jin is more real than Song Ji.

The only thing the two monarchs have in common may be that they didn't end well.

In the deep palace, the autumn color was depressed, and the eunuch stood outside the dormitory, bowing and standing quietly.

In the dormitory, Chen Jin, who has a yellow face and thin muscles, and is almost skinny, is lying on the royal couch, his face is pale and distorted, he opens his mouth and shouts hoarsely from time to time, and his cloudy eyes keep looking at the young man next to him, maybe it is at this time that he can be a little calmer, so as not to struggle in pain, so that the wailing sound can spread throughout the palace.

Next to the royal couch, the prince Chen Ju, dressed in a blue robe, sat next to him, his age was similar to Xu Buling, and his eyes did not look at Chen Jin on the sickbed, but looked at a portrait in the dormitory.

In Xuanhe Bakui, Cui Xiaowan's is called 'Peach Blossom Retrospective', Ning Yuhe's is called 'Sword Dance', Xiao Xiang'er is called 'Xiaoxiang Bamboo', and this one hanging in Nanyue Palace City is naturally Zhou Guifei's 'South Flying Goose', which is a scene of a woman watching the wild geese flying south.

Chen Ju is very similar to the woman in the portrait, and her appearance is naturally good, but she does not have the pure and high fairy spirit in the painting, but has some worries that are entangled in mundane things.

Chen Jin, who had lost his mind in a madness, obviously recognized the son in front of him, opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, just two meaningless 'uh-uh' sounds.

The prince Chen Ju came back to his senses, glanced at his father next to him, thought about it, and said something in his heart:

"There is a war in the Central Plains, the Xu family in the Western Regions has usurped the country, and the world is in chaos...... My father was too conservative, and if he was sober, he would definitely not agree, it was too risky. However, my Chen family has been in this poor South Vietnam for too long, and sometimes they do not welcome and suffer from it, I think my grandfather is right......"

On the royal couch, Chen Jin couldn't understand the words at all, but looked at his son in front of him with dim eyes, staring intently.

Chen Ju may also be because Chen Jin is crazy and can't understand, so he will talk to himself like he is talking to himself.

The sound of talking continued for a long time, until the chamberlain came to report and An Guogong was waiting outside the imperial city, Chen Ju stopped talking, bowed to Chen Jin, and turned to leave the dormitory.

As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, an almost mournful wail sounded in the dormitory.

It sounds like he is reluctant to give up his son and wants to ask his son to turn back.

Chen Ju stood outside the dormitory, hesitated slightly, but still instructed the attendant to close the door of the hall and leave quickly......
