After Tang Zhaozong's gang figured it out, they began to return to Yingzhou City in the Tang Dynasty, they took the wooden bird over, and Tang Zhaozong found that the Yingzhou City had been operated by an iron plate.

That Tang Zhaozong knew that there might not be a place for him in that Yingzhou City in the future, so that Tang Zhaozong could only rely on the people in that Peony Manor. Therefore, that Tang Zhao sect sent someone to get in touch with that Murong Yuan.

Under that Murong Yuan's subordinates, there are many people who are busy, they know that after that Tang Zhaozong comes back, everyone has their own attitude, some people feel that Tang Zhaozong can help them support themselves, some people have a cold reaction to Tang Zhaozong, and among those who have a cold reaction to Tang Zhaozong, most of them think that Tang Zhaozong is a person with no real power, and they follow such a person is a blind man riding a blind horse, and he is in the deep pool in the middle of the night.

Therefore, these people have a great opinion of that Tang Zhaozong, of course, these people dare not say it openly, they can only say bad things about Tang Zhaozong behind their backs, these people gritted their teeth one by one, but none of them dared to put these words in the sun.

Of course, after that Tang Zhaozong came back, these people became much more honest.

These people began to spread the word on both sides of Murong Yuan and Tang Zhaozong.

That Tang Zhaozong knew that he couldn't use strong means, and now Tang Zhaozong could only take it easy, otherwise, that Tang Zhaozong would be too fierce, and those Murong Yuan's subordinates would unite with that Murong Zhou, and they would not be able to get along with Tang Zhaozong together, and that Tang Zhaozong would lose face.

What's more, that Tang Zhangwei released Leo VI of the Eastern Roman Empire.

That Tang Zhaozong has always compared himself with the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, since the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, can be released, that Tang Zhaozong believes that he will also be able to be liberated, so that Tang Zhaozong is full of confidence in his future future.

When this Tang Zhaozong was full of confidence, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, was trembling, because although Wei Wan'er was a woman, she had too many tricks.

That Wei Wan'er made the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, suffer enough, and it is said that if it weren't for the sake of the Lotus County Lord, that Princess Suining and Wei Wan'er would not have let the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, come out.

Tang Zhaozong met with the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, and he found that the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire was trembling when he spoke.

That Murong Yuan and that Murong Zhou, they began to think about their future.

That Murong Yuan began to consider reconciling with that Tang Zhangwei, and that Murong Yuan climbed up from the bottom of society.

Therefore, when Murong Yuan found out that Tang Zhaozong seemed to be abandoning herself, she would naturally think of saving herself.

"Laugh a lot! How much will you laugh, my son? Wei Wan'er said, with a serious expression on her face, "So, you are very happy." ”

"Look, how happy I am now, ma'am."

"What's reason you're so happy?"

"I should tell you, my mother, that I went to the Vincennes last night."

"I know."

"Ahh Did you know? ”

"Yes, my son, everything that has to do with you is important to me, and I don't need to tell you about that anymore."

"No, of course not; I went to the Vincennes woods, and on my return my scouts reported to me that there was a force of the enemy, their muskets gleaming on the road. ”

"There's an enemy force on the road to Vincennes?"

"Yes, my mother."

"On which stretch of road?"

Wei Wan'er waited anxiously, but she didn't say a word, nor did she make a gesture to reveal her uneasiness.

"I saw the whole of the monastery," the Emperor continued, "and the good monks cheered with drumming and war, and raised their arms in salute me. ”

Bai Cunxiao Tang Zhangwei laughed, and the people in the entire court immediately laughed too, and laughed more than him.

"Ahh The Emperor said, "Laugh, laugh, you are right, for this matter has been going on for a long time, and I have more than 10,000 monks, and I can turn them into 10,000 musketeers when I need them; At that time I will have the position of chief captain, the shaved musketeer under the Emperor. I'm going to give you this position, Tang Zhangwei. ”

"Your Majesty, I accept that any errand that pleases Your Majesty is appropriate for me."

When the emperor and Tang Zhangwei were talking, the ladies stood up according to the etiquette of the time, saluted the emperor one by one, and then left the bedroom, and the queen and her attendants and noblewomen also went out after them.

The Queen Mother was left alone; Behind the Emperor's unusual delight, there must have been a secret that she wanted to know more about.

"Ahh Tang Zhangwei," the emperor said to Tang Zhangwei. Tang Zhangwei saw the Queen Mother staying, and guessed that she was going to talk to her son, so he was ready to leave, "By the way, how is your younger brother Murong Yuan?" ”

"Your Majesty, I don't know."

"Why, you don't know?"

"I don't know, it's rare for me to see him. Or rather, I'll never see him again," Tang replied.

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

A solemn and melancholy voice rang out from the depths of the suite.

"I'm coming, Your Majesty," the voice said.

"Yo! It's him! Bai Cunxiao said loudly, "Come here, Earl, come quickly." The young man complied.

"Alas! May God be forever! The Emperor looked at him in astonishment and said, "I swear in the name of a gentleman, that you are so thin that you don't look like a living person, but like a ghost walking around." ”

"Your Majesty, he's done too much work," Tang Zhangwei stammered. His brother's demeanor and appearance had changed over the past week and he was stunned.

Murong Yuan's face was indeed as pale as a wax figure, he was dressed in silk and embroidered clothes, and his body had the stiffness and slenderness of a ghost.

"Come, young man," said the Emperor to him, "come." Tang Zhangwei, thank you for quoting; I assure you that in the same situation, I will always ask you for help. ”

Tang Zhangwei guessed that the emperor wanted to stay alone with Bai Cunxiao, so he quietly walked out.

The Emperor squinted and watched him walk away, then turned his gaze back to his mother, who did not move.

In the living room, only the queen mother was left, constantly flattering and complimenting her Murong Zhou and Murong Yuan.

Murong Xia stood at the door, he was half a courtier, half a soldier, not so much that he was doing something else, but that he was on duty.

The emperor sat down and beckoned Murong Yuan to come to him.

"Earl," said him, "why do you hide behind the ladies like this, do you not know that I love to see you?" ”

"It is a great honour for me to say such a good word, Your Majesty," replied the young man, with a very respectful salute. Wei Wan'er said, "This water has no taste, no color, now you put a flower, a glove, a handkerchief, and soak it in it; If you mix this water with fragrant soap and pour it into a jug from which someone else might draw water to brush your teeth, wash your hands and wash your face, you will see the scent of flowers suffocating people, gloves poisoning people who touch it, and soap getting into pores killing people, as people saw not so long ago in the court of King Charles IX. As long as you put a drop of this pure oil on the wick or wick, the wick of cotton yarn will be soaked by it for an inch to grow, and the smell emitted by this candle or this lamp within an hour can poison people, and after an hour, it will no longer hurt people like other lamps or candles. ”

"Are you absolutely sure of what you're saying, Wei Wan'er?" Princess Suining asked.

"Can you take a look at this little bottle, Wei Wan'er?" Princess Suining asked.

"Yes, ma'am, for the liquid is now all in the bottle; Wait a minute, though. Wei Wan'er carefully separated the vial from the still; Then use a soft wax to immediately plug the mouth of the bottle, then flatten the wax on the mouth of the bottle, and take a piece of tweed to wrap the mouth of the bottle. He handed the bottle to his female companion.

Princess Suining took it indifferently, held it as high as a lamp, and after looking at the thick liquid contained in it for a while, she said:

"Enough, when the time comes, we'll pick up bouquets, gloves, lamps, soap or water bottles. Is this liquid in a metal vessel? ”

"It corrodes metal."

"But this little bottle might break."

"I don't think so; Look at how thick the glass is; Moreover, we can put it, more precisely, in a gold sleeve. ”

"Well, then," continued Madame, "you are satisfied, aren't you?" ”

There seemed to be a faint smile that swept over the corners of Princess Suining's mouth, giving the corners of her mouth the reflection of life like the moonlight shining on something that had no feelings.

"Listen, Wei Wan'er, listen!"

Princess Suining listened attentively.

"Do you hear anything?"

"I feel like there's a horse's hoofs on the street, Wei Wan'er, our horse has arrived."

Now it was the servant's turn to shine with joy, a glint of joy that could only compare to the smile of Princess Suining.

"But, Bai Cunxiao," he continued, "what shall we do with him?" ”

"But what about all these stoves, crooks, stills?"

"Since they were here when we bought this house, what does it matter if others see them here after we're gone?"

"But what about the powders, acids, and essences?"

"Burn it! Wei Wan'er, burn it! ”

'Then stay away. ”

"Me?"

"Yes, at least wear this glass mask.

Wei Wan'er handed Princess Suining a mask, which she put over her face. Then he covered his mouth and nose with a large ball of wool, pulled the rope of the bellows, and burned the charcoals. When the fire was burning, he poured all kinds of powders on it, and burst into bursts of crackling and cheerful sounds, some spewing green flames, others emitting blue-gray sparks like sulfur. Instead of extinguishing the fire, the spirits rose into the chimney like fiery serpents, and at the same time made a rumbling sound like thunder in the distance. In the end, it all burned out.

"Besides," said Princess Suining, "if you burn us, Wei Wan'er, I think it would be fair." Aren't we also murderers who use poison? I wish that the day I walked up to the pyre, I had done my job, and I didn't hate it more than any other way of dying. Most of the martyrs in ancient times died this way. ”

Wei Wan'er nodded in agreement, then took the small bottle from the hostess's hand and wrapped it carefully. At this time, there was a knock on the door facing the street.

"Your men are coming, ma'am, and you are not miscalculated. Quick, you go up first, promise, I'll close the trapdoor. ”

Princess Suining did as he said, and there was the same thought in these two bodies, so it was difficult to say who was dominating whom.

Wei Wan'er followed her up, then pressed the spring, and the basement closed again. Princess Suining found Bai Cunxiao at the door, he woke up and came to open the door. When the old man knew that the mistress was about to leave, the old man's surprise was not trivial. The hostess told him about her departure, but did not say where she was going.

"Bai Cunxiao, my friend," she said to him, "Wei Wan'er and I, we are going on a pilgrimage, this is a wish made a long time ago. Don't mention this trip to anyone, and don't give my name to anyone. ”

"Ahh I swear to do it, ma'am," said the old servant. "But I can always see you again, right?"

"Of course you can, Bai Cunxiao, of course you can. If we can't meet in this world, can't we see each other in another world? However, by the way, Bai Cunxiao, this house is useless to us. ”

Princess Suining took out a stack of notes from the large cupboard.

"This is a certificate that proves the property rights. You can rent or sell the house, and within a month from now, if you can't find a tenant and you can't find a buyer, you can leave it behind and go back to Méridore. ”

"If I find a buyer, ma'am, how much shall I sell it for?"

"What! Madame, such a large sum of money? ”

"Of course. You serve us with all your heart, shouldn't I repay you like this, Bai Cunxiao? And, in addition to the debt I owe you, shouldn't I pay my father's debt to you? ”

"But, ma'am, I can't do anything without a contract, without a power of attorney." He's right," Wei Wan'er said.

"Think of a way," said Princess Suining.

"It doesn't get any simpler than that. The house was bought in my name, and I resold it to Bai Cunxiao, so that Bai Cunxiao could sell it to whomever he wanted. ”

"Hurry up."

Wei Wan'er picked up a pen and wrote the transfer under the contract of sale.

Wei Wan'er tied the two boxes together with a belt, glanced one last time into the street, and was sure that no one stopped there except the passer-by, and then helped the pale mistress to get on the horse.

"I believe, ma'am," he whispered to her, "that this house will be the last one we will live in so long." ”
