(147) Wanhua River Lantern Afterimage (41)
After running in a hurry, Cheng Feihu stopped, and Yun Sheng and I, who were following him, had no choice but to stop.
"It's time for me, right?" Cheng Feihu glared at me with cold eyes: "You'd better not be kidding me." ”
"Of course, of course, how dare I fool you, Brother Flying Tiger? I'll give you the antidote. I laughed as I took a brown pill from the bag around my waist and threw it into his hand.
Cheng Feihu frowned and glanced at the pill in his palm, and then swallowed it in one gulp.
"You and I will settle this matter and take our leave." Cheng Feihu clenched his fist at me, and before I could speak, he jumped onto the roof and disappeared without a trace.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" I sighed and shook my head.
Yun Sheng glanced at me, tilted his head and muttered, "Isn't this obvious?" I can't mess with you. ”
...... "Why did I help him stop a sword just now?"
"Your Excellency." Yun Sheng suddenly approached me: "Just now, what you gave him is not an antidote at all, right?" ”
I raised my eyebrows and clasped my arms in my hands, "How can you see that?" ”
"Because he didn't have any poison at all." Yun Sheng was very sure that "when he was in the tavern, the reason why he suddenly fainted was because the nobleman was too drunk, and he drank too fast, and the wine was rushing, so he fell down unexpectedly." ”
"Really?" I swept around, and saw that there were really only two people left on the road, Yunsheng and me, and I knew that it was getting late, and it was time for me to go back to the inn, "Then why am I okay?" ”
Yun Sheng couldn't figure out why this was at first, but when he got into a fight with the group of black-clothed people who suddenly appeared, he suddenly figured out the key to it.
"Because most of the wine you drink comes out by itself, and you don't drink much of a whole jar of wine at all." Yun Sheng looked into my eyes, but pointed to the purse on my waist with one hand, "And the most important thing is that the one you are wearing is something that can sober up, and it should be prepared by a special person, right?" ”
I nodded slightly, and then asked, "Cheng Feihu is not good at drinking, he used to compete with others for this, why was he fine in the past, but now he is planted?" ”
Yun Sheng's eyes flashed, he smiled and took two steps forward, and then turned back to look at me, "Because the time and place are favorable." ”
Late at night, more than half of the wine, Cheng Feihu was already slightly drunk.
"You obviously saw his state at that time, so you made a fuss and wanted to fight with him." Yun Sheng walked back to me, leaned slightly, approached me, and sniffed slightly at the faint smell of herbs and the strong smell of wine that permeated the air.
"Also, you deliberately let out a lot of wine to make sure he fainted from the smell of alcohol, so that the cramped tavern was filled with the smell of this wine."
Yun Sheng turned sideways and looked up in contemplation, "Let me think about it, you have a lot of wine, so he has to speed up his drinking, and the tavern is full of drunken smell...... If it weren't for this purse to protect you, I'm afraid you'd be the first to fall, right? ”
For Yun Sheng's guess, I smiled noncommittally.
"But there are still some questions that I have not been able to figure out." Yun Sheng looked at me, "Why do you want to contact Cheng Feihu?" Why this evening? When you were waiting for Gu Xiang, you happened to see Cheng Feihu and had a plan for tonight, or did you ...... Did you think about doing this in the morning? ”
Yun Sheng asked very seriously, and I looked up at his delicate eyes, and my heart was slightly tingled.
Lowering my eyes slightly, I said, "Miss Yun, how are you doing lately?" She should write to you often, right? ”
Sighed silently, Yun Sheng knew that I didn't want to answer his question, so he didn't ask, and nodded along with my words, "Sister is very good, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, the climate is mild, and it is the most suitable for relaxation and cultivation, at the beginning of each month, she will ask people to send me letters, she is worried about me, and I am the same." ”
Listening to his words, I was irrepressibly envious.
I looked up, the moon was bright in the sky, but the night was boundless and long.
"It's so good, it's nice to have a sister......"
Unlike me, even if I am thousands of miles away from home, no one will miss it.
I've always been alone.
Yun Sheng looked at my sad appearance, his heart moved, and he said, "My lord, Mrs. Hou is worried about it, isn't it a happy thing?" ”
Mother?
I blinked.
"It's late at night, I'll send you back." I looked at him.
Yun Sheng frowned, and then bowed his hand to me, "It should be me who sends the adult back." ”
"Let's go, don't shirk it." I turned around and left, "By the way, I'll take a look at where you live, maybe I'll talk to you tomorrow, don't say it, this Qi country is really a strange place, and I know you as an acquaintance in total......"
"Isn't Master Gu Xiang your acquaintance?" Yun Sheng knew that he couldn't resist me, so he acquiesced to my words and turned around to follow me.
I shook my head, "I'm not an acquaintance with him. ”
Nor should it be.
Yun Sheng fell silent.
The way back to the inn was very calm, there was no man in black who couldn't get rid of it, and there was no Qi soldier who suddenly appeared, at the door of the inn, Yun Sheng said goodbye to me, "My lord, go back and rest early, everything has to be cherished by yourself." "I love to read
I nodded, "Sleep well tonight." ”
Yun Sheng returned to his room, and I stood where I was, and then returned to the palace.
After searching along the palace wall, I found a good place to hide, and I could see the palace gate, and jumped up.
The palace gate is strict, but also deserted, I look towards the palace gate from time to time, when I am bored, I look up at the moonlight in the sky, or think about the days in the White Crane Academy, time passes very quickly, and when the moon sinks and the sun rises, I fall back to the ground, brush my clothes casually, and return to the inn with a calm face.
Hearing the movement in the bedroom, Bai Zhi, who had been guarding outside the door all night, opened his mouth.
"Do you want to rest a little longer? Or do you want to eat something first? ”
I didn't eat lunch, I didn't eat dinner, I have a stomach full of tea and a stomach of wine, my stomach is very sad, although I feel hungry, but I have no appetite.
"No need, you go back and rest first, I'll lie on the desk for a while."
Bai Zhi also opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him, but when he felt the tiredness in my voice, he stopped talking and left.
It wasn't long before dawn, and since he couldn't convince me, it was better to save this time and let me rest a little longer.
I saw the figure guarding outside the door gradually disappearing, my heart relaxed, and I fell asleep lightly on the bookcase.
But I didn't rest long, and when the birds on the branches began to chirp, I got up and had some breakfast, and after a good bath, I walked out of the main entrance of the inn in a fair manner.
Chen Kun's soldiers tried to stop me, but Bai Zhi, who came later, drew his sword and scared back.
"Actually, you don't have to follow me." I had no choice but to say, "I didn't sleep all night last night, you should always have a good rest and recuperate." ”
"Adults only need to rest for an hour, and the general only needs to rest for an hour." Bai Zhi also followed me closely, as if he was afraid that I would suddenly abandon him and run away.
"You're in charge of the security of the entire envoy team, not just me." I continued to persuade him.
"Everyone in the escort has stayed in the inn, and only one of the generals has followed you." Bai Zhi also said, "The last general does not think that he is biased or derelict in his duties. ”
"Okay." I paused to look at him, "You can follow me, but these polite salutations are still avoided." I told you a long time ago, just call each other whatever we want in private, we've been together for so long, shouldn't it be as strange as we were at the beginning? ”
Bai Zhi also glanced up at me and didn't speak.
I just assumed that he acquiesced, and walked into the inn on the right-hand side.
"Knock knock!" "Knock knock!"
"Who are you looking for?" As the door of the guest room was squeaked open, a small man who looked like a servant stuck out his head to look at me and Bai Zhihuan.
"Is it Lord Shen Xiang?" Yun Sheng packed himself up and walked out from behind the little guy.
I stretched out the folding fan in my hand and looked at him with a smile, "The nine iris flowers of Yong'an Mountain are famous all over the world, why don't we go and see them today?" ”
Yun Sheng didn't have any objections, nodded and said, "Okay." ”
I was amazed to see him so happy.
"This is Bai Zhihuan, the righteous son of the military department Shangshu, the military department Langzhong." I turned to the side, introduced Bai Zhihuan to him, and said to Bai Zhihuan, "This is Yun Sheng, General Jiang's future brother-in-law." ”
"I've seen Lord Bai." Yun Sheng made a move.
Bai Zhi also hugged his fists and saluted back, "Yun Gongzi." ”
After being polite to each other, the three of us got on the carriage to Yong'an Mountain, because Yun Sheng and Bai Zhi were not familiar with each other, so they didn't talk much on the road, and when the carriage stopped at the foot of Yong'an Mountain, Yun Sheng finally couldn't help but ask me out loud, "Are you really here to see the nine kites?" ”
"yes." I nodded.
"But the flowering period of the nine iris is in autumn, and it is still summer, and the nine iris flowers have not bloomed at all." Yun Sheng was puzzled: "Did you misidentify the flowering period?" ”
I shook my head and smiled, and walked up the mountain path to the top of the mountain.
"Yunsheng, sometimes what everyone is accustomed to thinking may not be true all the time, everything needs to be experienced in person to get a glimpse of it."
Yun Sheng listened to this, and his body was stunned.
"Do you like these flowers and plants very much?" Bai Zhi asked me suddenly.
I shook my head, "Flowers and plants have spirits, I am a person without spirits." ”
"Then why do you still want to come and see these nine kites?"
"Get some aura." I laugh.
"I heard that the flower of the nine kites is owned by the underworld, and it is not the soul of the nine shadows that is not born, and it is not the soul of the nine shadows that is not raised, is there really a so-called 'aura' for such a flower?" Bai Zhi still looks at me.
"These rumors are just the gossip of good people, flowers are flowers, nothing more than different growth environments, and the circumstances are not ordinary, if you believe it, you don't believe it."
