Volume 1: The First Entry into the Deer Park Chapter 6: The Singing of Cicadas
Xiao Jinchen was already hungry to the point of being in a hurry, so naturally he didn't have time to listen to Yuanfu, but when he broke into the room with enough true qi, he was instantly stunned, there were not many things on the table, only three things, a pile of paper, a food box, and a sword inserted in a turquoise scabbard.
The young man was stunned, walking slowly, his eyes were red and moist, his hands trembled slightly, his lips were pursed together, he seemed to laugh but not laugh, he seemed to cry instead of crying, he was apprehensive, he was dazed, excited, at a loss, and his emotions fluctuated and made people feel distressed.
Walking to the table, the young man touched the sword, and instantly let go like an electric shock, and then pinched his thigh fiercely, grinning his teeth, and then he held the handle with his hand again and drew the sword.
The sword body is clear and silvery, about two feet or so, it is tattooed with the word cicada, supplemented by about half a foot of dark purple sword handle, it looks quite beautiful, the system is very simple, there are all kinds of mysterious lines staggered, the whole gives people a kind of atmospheric momentum, as if there is this sword, it is not too difficult to open the mountain.
Xiao Jinchen looked at the sword and smiled, but the corners of his eyes were full of tears, very sentimental.
The name of this sword is called the cicada, it is cast by the meteorite outside the sky after three years and six months and nine days, the handle is a rare lightning strike divine wood, and the sheath is made of the Qingyun bamboo on the top of the Guanyin Mountain in West Chu as the material, which is the undoubted head of the fairy sword in the rivers and lakes.
The most important thing is that the cicada sword is the sword of Xiao Jinchen's mother Fu Yaoqin, all the way to the battle, there was a sword frost and cold fourteen states, and then with his sister Xiao Ziyan, his mother put this sword away, and after giving birth to him, I don't know why I took it out again. Who would have thought that the cicada chirping that makes people fascinated just by hearing the name is actually thrown by Xiao Ziyan and Xiao Jinchen every day. When Xiao Jinchen was nine years old and Xiao Ziyan was ten years old, after Fu Yaoqin was dying, Xiao Yuantu hid the sword in the secret room and never let their siblings see it again.
To this day, he saw it again, as if he had seen his own mother.
Memories of the past began to come back to my mind.
In those years, his sister was not the ninth on the devil list to be taken care of.
In those years, his mother still called the two of them to eat together every day, dressed in plain green clothes, with gentle eyes, which made people feel calm and calm.
In those years, his father would rest early, and he was far less attached to the government than he is now, and he would never sit and read the recitals all night without sleeping. In fact, Xiao Jinchen knows that his father is afraid of loneliness, whether there is that person around him or not, it is never the same, with his mother, his father will be managed, with his mother, his father is a complete person.
In those years, he was still a carefree child, and when he was tired, he would curl up in his mother's arms and listen to her tell those bizarre stories, listen to her sing, and listen to her read poems.
will also compete with her sister for favor, fight and make trouble, and then hug her legs left and right in the mother's scolding.
Every time like this, their father leaned on the edge of the pavilion, smirked, and shouted loudly, the lady is so eccentric, her eyes are full of a pair of children, but there is still your husband's position.
The expression is always aggrieved, their mothers will always laugh, saying that their Xiao family is eager to break her into three halves, but the smile is real, she looked at Xiao Yuantu, and then looked at their sisters and brothers, her eyes were satisfied, reassured, and not shocked.
Watching the flowers fall in front of the court, listening to the sound of rain in the house, cooking in her spare time, sleeping when she is drunk, not messing with red dust, and full of red dust, the lights in the world seem to have nothing to do with her, only the small courtyard of the Xichu Palace that she named Huaxiaju seems to be where her heart is.
The years are quiet, but they are not flowing for people, year after year, morning and twilight, in a trance, it is another nine years.
His mother was lying on the ground, his father's sideburns were white, his sister traveled the world, and he absconded from the palace.
Four people, at the end of the world, don't know whether it's warm or cold.
The young man put down his sword, wiped his face, and then picked up the wad of paper.
At the top is a letter, Xiao Jinchen took out the letterhead, the font is delicate and delicate, obviously not from a man's hand.
Jinchen, your father is angry, he said that if you want to go out of the palace, you can leave the palace, what do you want him to do, the confidentiality work is so good, what do you treat him for. He said that he had nothing to say, so he sent the sword to you, and you took care of it yourself, and he also said that you only have two years, and twenty years is the limit, and then you must go back to the palace, and you must marry the daughter of the war god Meng.
cough, the above is what your father said, Aunt Wanjun just conveyed it on your behalf, I know what you think, but fate is such a thing, it all depends on what you think, put it down or pick it up, it's just a thought, Miss has instilled many things in you since childhood, Aunt Wanjun believes that you can do it, two years, enough for you to figure it out. Don't care about your father, he just has a hard mouth, but your father is indeed not as energetic as before, remember.
I heard from the spy prison that Mengwanzhong is also in the deer park, you have to hurry up and cultivate a good relationship with other girls. I asked the spy supervisor to send you the information of everyone in Luyuan this year, you remember to read it.
"Ah, it's only been two years, it's really slamming." Xiao Jinchen complained a little and picked up the information in his hand.
The first person to start is Zhou Zeyu, Xiao Jinchen glanced twice, raised his eyebrows slightly, this is already twenty years old this year, and he has been taking the Luyuan exam for four years alone, a son of a poor family, he wants to be a hero, but his martial arts talent is low. The second is Jing Yi, the daughter of Antai of Chu Guoshangshu, followed by Mengwanzhong, and then He Junqi, this girl turned out to be the princess of the Southern Liang Dynasty, named Wen Si, and then the one who opened the atmosphere today, named Ruan Wenzhou, the one next to him is his brother, called Ruan Wenqi, and the two are the sons of the Southern Liang Officials' Family.
Xiao Jinchen's memory has been particularly amazing since he was a child, basically he never forgets it, the young man just sits like this, he doesn't even eat, page after page, and after a long, long time, the young man finally raises his head.
He saw Song Lan at the end just now, he was the second son of the Song family, the richest man in Luoyang County, Xiao Jinchen was happy at the time, the identity of the businessman was very low, and he dared to fight with himself, it was really a little self-conscious, but he just smiled, such a person, he should forget it in the past, otherwise it would be a waste of time.
Xiao Jinchen touched his chin, took out an empty piece of paper and wrote a paragraph, resealed it in the envelope, and looked at a dark corner of the room.
"Quickly return to the palace, there must be no mistakes."
"Yes, Your Highness."
……
Jian Twenty was very anxious at this time, this was the first time he had received an assignment from the hall, so he sat on the locust tree at the door of Xiao Jinchen's room early in the morning, from day to night, during which he kept staring at the door, of course, and the young man in gray, after observing for a long time, there was nothing abnormal, and he was relieved.
Looking forward to it, looking forward to it, Xiao Jinchen finally came back, but he didn't act, because the two girls were so good-looking, so he looked at it twice, and as a result, he missed the time.
As for now, he really couldn't figure it out, what was going on with this person, it had been two hours, and he hadn't slept yet, thinking that he would have to go back tonight to recover his life, Jian Twenty finally couldn't help it, he stood up quietly, and then he was so frightened that he almost fell from the tree.
"Here comes my brother." Yuan Fu stood beside him almost instantly, holding him with one hand, like an old friend.
"Big brother, if I say that I just passed by, would you believe it?" Sword Twenty swallowed.
"I believe you're a ghost."
Yuan Fu smiled, his five fingers were like hooks, but it was too late, it turned out that when Jian Twenty knew that there was no hope of escaping, the moment he swallowed his saliva, he had already swallowed the poison stuffed in his mouth, and he was lifeless in an instant.
The young eunuch lifted the mask of Sword Twenty and stained it a few times.
"So young, what's going on with Huatangchun now, are the people of the sect so low-level? But why assassinate His Highness? Yuan Fu carried the person, disappeared in a flash, and reappeared on the tree a moment later.
Looking at the light in the room that had not yet been extinguished, Yuan Fu smiled, lay on the branch, crossed Erlang's legs, and slowly fell asleep.
……
At the same time that Xiao Jinchen began to eat wildly in the house, in Lin'an, Xichu, in a deep underground palace, there was a figure with black armor and a black robe sitting at the highest place of the palace, like an emperor.
There was a man in the hall who fell lightly to the ground, his head pressed very low, and his eyes were full of awe.
"Tell the hall master, Jian Twenty has arrived at the deer park, everything is according to the hall master's orders, only spying."
"Oh, when did you go out?" The man in the hall spoke, and the male voice was high-pitched.
"Morning."
"Don't wait, I haven't come back now, most of them are dead, it seems that the masters around Xiao Jinchen are very strong."
"The subordinates are not doing well, and I ask the hall master to punish him."
"It's okay, I didn't expect to find anything, and the fact that the person didn't come back is already very revealing."
"The hall master...... You have been in the palace for so many years, and with your strength, it is more than enough to kill him, but why do you have to wait for him to leave the palace before making a move? ”
"You deserve to ask about me?"
"The subordinates don't dare."
"Get out."
The palace was even more gloomy because there was no one, and the men in the palace seemed to be tired, and on the side recliner, one hand supported his head, and his voice was a little tired.
"Her son, how can I be willing to do it myself?" The man paused: "It's stupid, isn't it?"
