Chapter 47: Two Foxes

During the interrogation of Murong Cheng, Lord Wu and Gongsun Chi each received an anonymous letter, but the content of the letter shocked the two and changed Murong Cheng's mortal ending.

Gongsun Chi looked at Murong Cheng angrily and said, "Murong Cheng, don't be complacent, my imperial sister can deign to apologize to you, that is your honor, and your attitude is insulting the majesty of my royal family?" ”

Murong Cheng retracted his gaze, but he already had a plan in his heart, got up and chuckled and said, "It's okay for the lower officials to suffer some grievances, and it's okay to talk about it." ”

Then Murong Cheng turned to the southeast and bowed deeply, saying, "It's just that the reputation of the teacher has been affected, I don't know what His Royal Highness King Huai is going to do with this matter?" ”

Gongsun Chi's face was pale, and he asked coldly, "What do you want?" ”

"Uh......"

Murong Cheng pretended to ponder and said, "The reputation of the teacher is noble and supreme, naturally it cannot be measured by those mundane things in the world, so it is better to use the ten iceberg snow lotuses of your country to compensate the teacher." ”

"You ......"

Gongsun Chi was angry when he heard Murong Cheng's words.

"Ten?"

Gongsun Lan's eyes were angry, and she looked at Murong Cheng with a strong murderous intent and said, "Do you think this iceberg snow lotus is a cabbage?" There are ten plants in one mouth, why don't you grab it! ”

Gongsun Chi also said, "Lord Murong, do you know that this iceberg snow lotus is a national treasure of our country, and it is extremely precious, how can it be given to the division commander of a small courtesy officer." ”

Murong Cheng said calmly: "Xia Guan naturally knows the preciousness of this snow lotus, but in Xia Guan's opinion, the reputation of the teacher is more precious than that of the snow lotus. ”

Gongsun Chi said with a cold face, "My country pays tribute to Your Majesty every year is only three plants, and you are opening your mouth to ten plants, do you want to trespass?" ”

Murong Cheng saluted to the southeast and said, "The teacher is the current great Confucian of my country, who knows astronomy and geography, knows the ancient and the modern, and is rich in five cars, and even the saints today have to give three points of courtesy when they see the teacher, but now, because I have disgraced the reputation of the teacher, it is not an exaggeration to nourish the teacher's body." ”

Gongsun Chi held the letter tightly, glared at Murong Cheng angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "One plant, not a single leaf!" ”

Murong Cheng shook his head and said, "Ten is ten, not a single leaf." ”

"You ......"

Gongsun Chi's face was like frost, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at Murong Cheng with a threat in his words, "Boy, you don't want to be insatiable, a snow lotus is the maximum!" ”

Murong Cheng also said with a cold face, "Since this is the case, then please ask King Huai and Princess Xinlan to go and ask the teacher for their guilt!" ”

When Murong Cheng finished saying this, without waiting for Gongsun Chi's brothers and sisters to say more, he raised his legs and strode out, Murong Hong glanced at everyone present and turned around and left, and the angry Gongsun Chi raised his eyebrows and gritted his teeth.

Let his brother and sister personally apologize?

What are you kidding, they are high-ranking nobles, how could they admit their mistakes to an ordinary person.

But these ten snow lotuses are also uncomfortable enough, if his master is really like Murong Cheng said, the emperor will be polite when he sees it, then ......

At this moment, the three ministers, the crown prince and others saw the hurry of Murong Hong's father and son, which made them very confused.

When Murong Hong's father and son returned to the General's Mansion, they asked, "Where is the third young lady?" ”

Liu Zhong was stunned when he was asked, and said suspiciously, "Didn't the third lady be killed and disappeared?" ”

His words made Murong Hong's father and son also stunned, and asked in unison, "Didn't come back?" ”

“……”

Murong Hong asked again, "Is there any news about her?" ”

"Huh?"

Liu Zhong shook his head hesitantly and said, "Not yet!" ”

This made Liu Zhong look at their father and son even more suspiciously, Murong Hong and Murong Cheng, father and son, glanced at each other, and they both saw the loss and doubt in each other's eyes.

Murong Hong was preoccupied, and walked towards the study with a solemn face, Murong Cheng's expression was the same, and Liu Zhong followed behind with a confused expression.

Murong Hong walked a few steps and suddenly stopped, turned his head to look at Liu Zhong and asked, "Where is King Chun?" ”

Liu Zhong said, "It's gone, yes...... I took my wife with me! ”

"What?"

Murong Cheng was shocked when he heard this, could it be that the third sister's accident was related to his mother?

Murong Hong looked at Liu Zhong in surprise and said, "Where did they go?" ”

Liu Zhong shook his head, Murong Hong turned around and walked outside and said, "Prepare the horse!" ”

"No!"

Seeing that Murong Cheng also wanted to follow, Murong Hong said, "You just stay in the mansion!" ”

Murong Cheng was stunned and watched Murong Hong's lonely back disappear in front of him.

Liu Zhong quietly walked up to Murong Cheng and asked in a low voice, "Second son, third lady, she ...... Got news? ”

Murong Cheng shook his head and turned back to his courtyard.

A hundred miles east of the capital, the mountains are steep, the grass and trees are withered, everything is withered, in the depths of these mountains, there is a seemingly ordinary but actually mysterious manor, this is the old house of the Song family.

In the quiet courtyard, surrounded by clouds and mist, the emerald green bamboo forest, the lotus flowers in full bloom in the Tang Dynasty, an old man in white with a serious face is playing against a woman in white in her teens.

The old man in white has a ruddy complexion, a Chinese face, a white beard, white hair and white eyebrows, and his wisdom is hidden in the tiger's eyes, and he is holding a sunspot uncertainly.

And the woman was looking at the old man opposite with a smile, with joy and strategizing on her beautiful and elegant face, these two were Song Yunnan and Murong Qing after the murder.

Song Yunnan watched the entire chess game, tried several times, and the sunspot in his hand was not settled, because he saw that no matter where the sunspot fell, he would lose.

Song Yunnan pretended to be annoyed and threw the sunspot back to the chess piece and said, "Don't play, don't play, I lose every time, and you don't know how to let me, the old man." ”

Murong Qing chuckled, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Grandfather, do you want the chess game of this chess game?" ”

"Humph!"

Song Yunnan's eyes flashed, and then he squinted at the chessboard and stroked his beard and said, "Don't you want to be in my set of gold, no!" ”

Murong Qing pursed her lips and snickered, "Grandfather, I don't want gold. ”

When Song Yunnan heard this, he smiled a little and said, "Well, it's pretty much the same!" ”

Murong Qing looked around at the entire small courtyard and said, "This courtyard is like spring all year round, so it must have bothered my grandfather!" ”

Song Yunnan immediately understood Murong Qing's careful thoughts, and his face changed suddenly, and he glared at Murong Qing, "I gave you 500,000 taels of gold, what's the matter, now you are thinking about my courtyard again?" ”

Murong Qing said as a matter of course, "That gold was given to me by my sixth cousin, don't count it." ”

As soon as Song Yunnan thought of the letter Murong Qing wrote to him, he was angry, and said with a calm face, "Do you think that without me, the third child will obediently give you gold?" ”

Murong Qing snickered in her heart, but her face was silent and said, "That's not what the sixth cousin took the initiative to send to the door!" ”

Song Yunnan was speechless, and he said again, "Okay, let's not mention this matter for the time being, then you have food and drink with me, and I also invited you to a doctor, how can you thank me?" ”

Murong Qing smiled and said, "Who made you my grandfather!" Could it be that you can't bear to watch me, starved to death in the barren mountains, or turned into a beast's belly? ”

The grandfather and grandson were in the house after learning chess skills and talking to each other, and outside under the porch, there were two handsome men standing listening to the corner of the wall, and when they heard Murong Qing thinking about this courtyard, the two brothers laughed at the same time.

"Hehe, Qing'er, you don't know, every grass and tree in this yard is the brainchild of my grandfather! If you can get your hands on this courtyard, my eldest brother and I are willing to listen to you. ”

Murong Qing got up with a smile when she heard this, and saluted the two brothers, "Big cousin, second cousin." ”

These two are the sons of Song Haisen, the second eldest in the Song family, and Song Zilan's elder brothers, twin brothers Song Zimo and Song Ziqiu.

And the person who spoke was the second brother Song Ziqiu, although the two of them looked the same, their personalities were completely different.

The eldest brother Song Zimo is quiet, calm and restrained. The second brother Song Ziqiu is happy, sunny and cheerful.

Song Yunnan listened to Song Ziqiu's words, and glared at him angrily, "You two boys usually don't even see each other, Qing'er is here, you two have become frequent visitors here?" ”

"Grandson, greetings to grandfather!"

The two brothers were busy saluting Song Yunnan.

Song Ziqiu smiled and said, "Grandfather, don't we also care about our cousin's body!" You see, before I came, my mother stewed a cup of blood swallow for my cousin, so let's bring it over. ”

Song Yunnan nodded, "Well, it's time to make up for Qing'er, look at her scabs, she doesn't even have some meat." ”

Song Ziqiu hurriedly took out the cup of blood swallow in the food box, put it in front of Murong Qing, and said earnestly, "Come, Qing'er, taste it." ”

Murong Qing was speechless about the enthusiasm of her eldest aunt and second aunt, feeling closer than her own daughter, sending food, drink and jewelry every day, even if she didn't come by herself, she would call her son.

Song Zilan just came to deliver a box of rouge this morning, and now she asked these two brothers to send food, if she wasn't here in Song Yunnan, I'm afraid these two aunts would have to sleep with her in their arms at night.

Murong Qing put a bowl of blood swallows in front of Song Yunnan and asked, "What the second brother just said can be counted?" ”

Song Ziqiu confidently said: "That's nature! ”

Murong Qing heard that the corners of her mouth were raised, her eyes were bent into a crescent moon, she looked at Song Ziqiu and said, "Second brother, don't play Lai You at that time!" ”

“……”

Song Yunnan listened to the conversation between the two brothers and sisters, how did he feel that his yard was going to be overdue?

After thinking about it, he had an idea in his heart, and his face showed the same expression as Murong Qing.

Song Ziqiu was trembling in his heart when he saw Murong Qing's expression, and when he looked at Song Yunnan, he also had this expression, and two foxes, an old man and a young one, suddenly appeared in front of him, smiling slyly at himself.

He turned his head to look at his eldest brother and found that Song Zimo had an expression like watching a play, which made him feel like he had been fooled in an instant.

Song Ziqiu whispered, "Brother, you have something to say!" ”

Song Zimoyun said lightly: "Just according to what the second brother said." ”

"I ......"

Song Ziqiu vomited three liters of blood in his heart, grinned and muttered, "It's better not to say this!" ”

Song Zimo smiled but said nothing.

Murong Qing turned to look at Song Yunnan and said, "Grandfather, do you have any opinions?" ”

Song Yunnan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "No opinion!" ”

Murong Qing looked at Song Yunnan eagerly, "That grandfather ......"

Song Yunnan smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry." ”

"Huh?"

Murong Qing blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Song Yunnan suspiciously, not knowing what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd.

Song Ziqiu looked at Song Zimo and saw the cunning in each other's eyes.

Song Yunnan smiled and said, "If you want to win my yard with a game of chess, wouldn't it be too cheap for you." ”

Murong Qing stared at Song Yunnan and muttered in her heart, how could she feel that this old man was not at ease?

Song Yunnan looked at Murong Qing with a smile, and said with a hint of pride on the corner of his mouth, "The bet is not changed, how about we change the way of betting!" ”

Murong Qing asked suspiciously, "What kind of betting method does my grandfather want to change?" ”

Song Yunnan showed fox-like cunning in his eyes and said, "I'll give you a question, and if you answer it, I'll give you this courtyard." ”

Murong Qing saw the cunning in Song Yunnan's eyes, and determined the idea in his heart, your old man just didn't have a good heart.

However, for the sake of this generous courtyard, Murong Qing still agreed to it.

"Good!"

Song Yunnan got up and said, "You come with me!" ”

Murong Qing and the others followed Song Yunnan for nearly half an hour, stopping in front of a crisp bamboo forest.
