Chapter 8: Jade Heart Gu II
The food box in Shang Yu's hand was also taken away by Shen Changqi's guards when Shen Changqi left, and when Shang Yu was left alone in the courtyard, a gray finch flew to Shang Yu's side, it was Shang Yu when he was still 'raiding Jia' identity, the gray finch in Hua Knock Temple: Xiao Demon.
Xiao Demon stopped on Shang Yu's shoulder and said, "How did you get here?" You're hard to find! ”
Shang Yu thought that Xiao Demon's voice was too loud, so he flicked Xiao Demon with his hand, and said flatly: "The matter has been clarified?" ”
Xiao Demon snorted, Shang Yu asked him to investigate Fu Baisang's affairs before, and he came today for this matter.
"Then if I don't find it, will you still give it to me?"
Shang Yu looked at Xiao Demon coldly: "What do you say?" ”
Xiao Demon flew away from Shang Yu's shoulder and walked around in front of Shang Yu: "It's not that I didn't bother to investigate, it's that your brother is nowhere to be found!" And when your brother appeared, it was when you were a Taoist priest in Huajiao Temple. ”
Shang Yu thought thoughtfully, Xiao Demon is the leader of the Sparrow Clan, there are few things in the world that he can't find, if he says he can't find out, then there will be no second person who can find out. So, Fu Baisang, who did you come into contact with after you left Hua Shao?
Shang Yi felt that Fu Baisang was doing something strange, from planning to implementation, to Fu Baisang's death, everything was too fast, as if it had been arranged in advance.
Xiao Demon saw that Shang Yu didn't speak, and was afraid that Shang Yu would regret it, so he hurriedly said: "Then you ...... You can't go back! You promise me! ”
"Fu Baisang is dead."
Xiao Demon was stunned, and then laughed: "Haha, isn't it, Lord Shang Yu has also learned to deceive people?" You can't curse your own brother at will. ”
Seeing that Shang Yu was silent, Xiao Demon realized that Shang Yu didn't seem to be joking, so he laughed a few more times and asked, "It can't be true, right?" ”
"What do you say?"
Xiao Demon didn't dare to speak again, this was already the second sentence that Shang Yu said, 'What do you say?' 'Yes, Xiao Demon can feel that Shang Yu is in a bad mood now, no, it's very bad!
Shang Yu didn't care about Xiao Demon, and planned to familiarize himself with the layout of this Shen Mansion first, so as not to expose his stuffing.
Shang Yu suddenly heard Xiao Demon say loudly: "No! I can feel that your brother's breath is still there. ”
Shang Yu stopped, the underworld only accepts the souls of mortals, and according to the deeds before death, helps their first child to reincarnate. The five worlds of the Six Realms, except for the human realm, have rules for each realm. The Divine Fox Clan belongs to the Immortal Realm, and the Divine Realm can only enter the Divine Realm by ascending again from the Immortal Realm. After the immortal in the fairy world dies, it is equivalent to a complete death and turns into a thing in the natural world, unlike mortals who have a second life. This is also why Jade Heart Gu is sought after by so many people.
"My father used a magic weapon to keep him alive." But it's just a continuation.
Xiao You's eyes widened, and he flew to follow Shang Yu: "Is it a breath?" Isn't that useless...... Wait a minute! ”
Xiao Demon was surprised and said, "Your father will continue Fu Baisang's life, could it be that he has found the Jade Heart Gu?" ”
"I heard that the Jade Heart Gu was found in this Shen Mansion."
Xiao Demon was dumbfounded, if he regained his human form, he would definitely show disbelief on his face, Shang Yu would come to this Shen Mansion, could it be for the Jade Heart Gu?
"You...... You're a fake gardenia, right? "Xiao Demon couldn't believe that Shang Yu would come to find this Jade Heart Gu for Fu Baisang. This guy is cold-hearted!
A few maids came over, and Xiao Demon had to say something, so he had to flap his wings and leave.
Shang Yu probably understood this Shen Mansion, the Shen General of this Shen Mansion, that is, Shen Changqi, last year the border Huns invaded frequently, Shen Changqi as the master of the general mansion of the eight generations of loyal families, led the order to bring 40,000 troops to the border fortress, the number is small, not the elite soldiers, the Xiongnu of the border fortress is strong and belligerent, good at riding, relying on the emperor of the Han Dynasty is mediocre, the court is rotten, the army is scattered, there is only an empty shell left, if it is not for the private army raised by the fiefs of the princes around the country, I don't know what its strength is, so it is not afraid to really invade the Han Dynasty, only dared to constantly test and harass the people on the border, and at the same time, he was also to see who was more powerful among the princes of the Han Dynasty.
This time Shen Changqi led the troops out of the army, not to mention that the people of the Huns disdained the Han army, even the people in the capital felt that Shen Changqi would not last long. The 40,000 army is already the number that Li Shitian had to draw his hands to make up.
But Shen Changqi won, this is simply incredible! It is precisely because no one believes it, so it is rumored that the reason why Shen Changqi will use 40,000 ordinary troops to drive the 60,000 elite horsemen of the Xiongnu back to their nest is because Shen Changqi betrayed the country and reached an agreement with the Xiongnu, and the Xiongnu pretended to fail and helped Shen Changqi return to the capital.
However, after Shen Changqi's squad returned to the court, he pulled out the sword of the forbidden army at the reception banquet prepared by the emperor for Shen Changqi, and cut off his legs in front of the emperor and hundreds of civil and military officials, and the rumors were broken.
Of course, there are also those who don't believe it, such as the prince who came to Shen Changqi before. Shen Changqi cut off his legs just to wash his suspicions? With this capital swaying in the wind and rain, Shen Changqi had no need to do this at all.
Shang Yu also inquired that since Shen Changqi broke his legs and returned home to recuperate, his temperament has changed greatly, and he is no longer the former General Shen who has the ambition of Lingyun and is impartial and upright, Shen Changqi began to indulge in wine and pleasure, regardless of the government.
Shang Yu is a little sorry for this Shen Changqi, born in the wrong dynasty.
A few days later, Shang Yu held the chessboard and walked into Shen Changqi's residence with his head down.
A guest came to the Shen Mansion, different from the previous visitors, Shen Changqi did not drink alcohol today, and the clothes he wore were also changed from the plain clothes of the previous days, and changed into a black brocade dress.
Shang Yu placed the chessboard flat in the middle of the table between Shen Changqi and the guest, took the chess pieces handed over and placed them on the right hand side of the two, and quietly stood aside.
"What's next for the General?" With that, the first black disc landed in the middle of the board.
Shang Yu looked at the guest, dressed in strange clothes, not like a Han Chinese, a black cloth covered half of his face, revealing only a pair of royal blue eyes, which was particularly conspicuous, but he could speak fluent Chinese.
"Hmm, what are you going to do?" Shen Changqi did not answer the rhetorical question.
"I invited someone from the Qi Zhou Gu Clan to come, you can entertain you well."
"Qi Zhou Gu Clan? Is there really this Gu clan? I thought it was just a rumor. It seems that the gentleman has put a lot of effort into it. ”
"Just be treated."
"Tsk." Shen Changqi looked at the chessboard and threw the white chess pieces in his hand back into the chessboard: "If you don't play, you won't be able to win anyway." ”
Shang Yu listened to the conversation between the two, he had heard of this Qizhou Gu clan, but he didn't know much about it, Shang Yu glanced at the chess game on the table, Shen Changqi's white chess can go a lot, but Shen Changqi lacks abandoned children and can't play, is it really not, or just don't want to play? Shen Changqi has lived in fine clothes, jade food, and first-class education since he was a child, and he should be outstanding in all aspects.
"You, just you, go and send this gentleman out."
Shang Yu took a step forward, secretly surprised by Shen Changqi's sudden intention to pick up the guest.
"Don't bother, I can get out of your general's mansion myself."
"That's right, I'm tired, so let's all go down."
Shang Yu and several of Shen Changqi's guards went out of the room together, and those guards guarded in front of Shen Changqi's door, Shang Yu couldn't continue to stay, so he walked out of the courtyard with the guest one after another.
Now it is summer, the climate of the capital is hot, Shang Yu was arranged to go to the back kitchen to split the fire, the cook who burned the wood fire in the back kitchen is really hot, while the fire is still big, busy out of the breath, dissipate the heat.
The cook took the pampas fan and fanned it quickly, rudely tried the sweat on his face with his sleeve, saw a pile of firewood being chopped to a mountain high, and looked at the gardenia who was sitting in the shade of the tree to rest in the shade, and was shocked: "You are all chopped by you?" ”
The cook couldn't believe that this young man looked weak, and he could finish the work of two people.
Shang Yu thought that he had split too much, and got up confused: "Is it too much?" ”
The cook knew that Shang Yu had misunderstood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Oh, it's not a mile, it's to praise your physical strength." ”
The cook is the old man of the Shen Mansion, and he also inserted a few words in the steward, and Shang Yu was completely left in the back kitchen, and the cook liked this child, he suffered at a young age, and he was also clever, but he didn't like to talk much, the cook had never married a wife, and he got along with Shang Yu for a few days, and he liked this child more and more, and took care of Shang Yu everywhere.
Shang Yu was helpless, he was left in the back kitchen, and he couldn't contact Shen Changqi at all, but he couldn't thank the old chef's kindness, so he didn't think of a good way for a while, so he stayed in the back kitchen to help.
On this day, a new chef came to the back kitchen, I heard that it was a person specially invited by the Shen Mansion from other places, the taste of the chef's cooking is not the taste of this side, but the people are very tricky, and they hate this and that all day long, which makes the people in the back kitchen complain about him, but I heard that this new chef will not stay long, so everyone is relieved.
Shang Yu later learned that this cook was specially invited by Miss Qi Zhou who came to Shen Mansion, Shang Yu was a little curious, Qi Zhou Gu Clan himself had only heard of it, and this Shen Mansion really invited people from Qi Zhou Gu Clan to be guests.
Shang Yu planned to find an opportunity to go to the front yard to see the people of Qizhou. It happened that there was a banquet in the Shen Mansion tonight, and Shang Yu just happened to take a share of the errand to the banquet.
At night, Shang Yu entered the courtyard where the banquet was held, the courtyard was wide and bright, the dancers stood in the center of the banquet, the slender Luo clothes fluttered in the wind, and the long sleeves were crisscrossed left and right. The endless posture flew and scattered, and the twisted figures merged hands and feet.
Shen Changqi sat on the top seat with a smile, looking at the performing dancers, showing a little drunk.
Shang Yu moved his gaze to the person sitting on the lower left of Shen Changqi, and was stunned for a moment. The woman noticed that someone was watching her, and smiled at the wine glass in her hand.
Shang Yu retracted his gaze, the people of the Qizhou Gu clan invited by the Shen Mansion were Qi Qi?
Qi Qi got up from his seat, Shen Changqi squinted at Qi Qi who got up, Qi Qi had come to Shen Mansion several days ago, but Shen Changqi, as the host, was the first time to eat with Qi Qi. The man told himself to entertain this person from Qi Zhou, if he hadn't bumped into Qi Qi in the West Courtyard during the day, he might have forgotten that there was such a person.
