Volume 1 Three Lives Chapter 192 Small Courtyard
When the question he wanted to ask was answered, Phantom fell silent contentedly, and the carriage fell silent, except for the faint sound of the wheels turning.
The strange thing is that even though the atmosphere was silent, Yu Sheng still didn't say anything about the Yu family, and he didn't know what he was hesitating about.
The convoy slowly moved forward in this quiet atmosphere, and finally returned to the Yu family's residence in the imperial capital.
Feeling the carriage slowly stopping, the sound of the rain, which had been silent, smiled slightly, and looked at Chen Bai and the two of them: "Brother Xu, Miss Qingxue, let's get off." ”
Nodding, Chen Bai and the two readily agreed.
Seeing that they agreed, Yusheng stepped out of the carriage first, and then waited quietly for the two below.
After the two of them had also gotten out of the car, the three of them walked towards the quarters, escorted by the knights.
After a short walk along the uncomplicated road, they finally stopped in front of a small, unremarkable-looking courtyard.
"Brother Xu, Miss Qingxue, let's go in and talk again. Yusheng smiled and sent out an invitation. I don't know if I feel that I have a good relationship with the two, or I don't want to disguise myself anymore, the current sound of rain is no longer the little bit of the hanger before, but it is quite a bit of princely bearing.
Looking at the small courtyard that he had chosen before, which was almost the same as the small courtyard he had chosen, Chen Bai nodded and said with a smile: "Brother Yu doesn't have to be like this, you lead the way, and the two of us follow." ”
Hearing him say this, Yusheng also laughed, shook the hem of his clothes, stepped forward and gently pushed the door of the small courtyard open and walked in, and then looked at the two quietly behind the door.
Chen Bai was a little speechless, shook his head and followed, and Phantom followed closely behind him.
After the two of them also entered the courtyard, Yusheng took the door of the courtyard with his hand, and then walked to the front of the two and led the way.
After entering the courtyard, Chen Bai and the others found that this place could be regarded as a unique cave, which was different from the courtyard they had chosen before.
A winding path in the center divides the small-looking courtyard into two sides, one of which is planted with a variety of flowers and plants, and although it is now autumn, these flowers and plants are still growing lush and green, and there is no autumn feeling at all.
On the other side, there is a small pond that looks small, but it is quite beautiful. The small pond is far narrow and wide in shape, but when it comes to it, it shrinks back like a drop of water. In the center of the pond there is a strange stone that looks like a unicorn, and the body of the strange stone is covered with holes as if it has been weathered, and when the wind blows, you can faintly hear a somewhat low whistling sound, which is very strange. There are some lotus leaves scattered around the strange stones, maybe it is not in season, there are no lotus flowers blooming, but you can see a lotus canopy, and there are some milky white lotus seeds inside.
At the edge of the pond is a small pavilion with eight pillars, each of which is carved with a painting, which has a common feature, that is, a majestic-looking man stands in the center.
There is a stone table in the center of the small pavilion, the stone table is a little soft and waxy white ice color as a whole, which also contains some faint cyan, the table top is clean and clean, and the fiber is not stained.
Obviously, there are not many things, but this side of the courtyard is not empty at all, no matter how you look at it, it is so happy.
If you look straight ahead along the winding path, it is a small room, with only one floor facing south. The roof is covered with thatch, and it glows a warm yellow color in the afternoon sun, with a refreshing aroma.
The walls of the house are made of wooden planks, and although they look like a whole, there are still slight traces in some places that can tell the real situation.
Quietly admiring this small courtyard, Chen Bai's heart somehow gave birth to a feeling of exhaustion, and suddenly he was tired of everything in the outside world, and just wanted to spend this life in this place.
The phantom sound on the side was similar to him, and there was a faint happiness in his beautiful eyes, and he didn't know what he thought.
Since they entered the small courtyard, the sound of rain has not been silent, and at this moment, seeing the reaction of the two, a warm smile appeared on their faces, and they said softly: "You two, although this place is good, it is not the purpose of bringing you here. Let's hurry up and go inside and talk about what we're all interested in. ”
His words made Chen Bai and the others, who were immersed in the beautiful scenery, wake up suddenly. Then Chen Bai patted his chest with fear, and said with palpitations: "What is the magic of this place? I don't want to leave." ”
"Hehe, Brother Xu don't need to panic, this small courtyard is my father's residence, and it is not within the influence of Sansheng Stone, the reason why you feel this way is entirely because you always have good thoughts in your heart, and you are actually more like this. Yusheng explained with a light smile.
Hearing him say this, Chen Bai nodded slightly, and the stone hanging in his heart was slightly lowered.
After being awakened by the sound of the rain, Phantom Sound always maintained a faint flush on her pretty face, and there were some unnatural fluctuations in her beautiful eyes. Of course, all this could not escape the sound of the rain that had been observing the two of them, but he just smiled and didn't say anything more, just turned and stepped onto the path.
At the junction of the path and the house are three steps, which are also pale green, and are made of some kind of jade in terms of texture.
Stepping over the stairs, there is a porch in front of the house. After walking two steps, there is a double-open mahogany door, on which various auspicious beasts are depicted, which looks lifelike. It's just a little strange that the house has doors, but there are no windows.
Pushing open the door, a faint aroma came from the house. This kind of aroma is very strange, neither like the strong aroma of musk, nor like the elegance of lily, some of which can't be said to have an unclear meaning, but it just makes people very comfortable.
Some of them took a sharp breath of this aroma without grace, and Chen Bai secretly had some plans in his heart. If they could return alive on this trip, he would have to get all the secrets of this place out of the mouth of the rain, and he would have to make a place like this in his own territory when he returned.
Yusheng obviously enjoyed this aroma as well, but he didn't lose his temper like Chen Bai, but just inhaled this aroma very smoothly. Then he turned around, looked at Chen Bai and the two with a smile, and signaled that they could go in.
After all three of them entered the house, the sound of the rain gently closed the wooden door, and the whole room entered a completely closed state.
The decoration in the house is slightly inferior to that in the courtyard, and there is a simple atmosphere everywhere, but this simplicity does not reveal half a point of coldness, but makes people feel very comfortable.
There is no partition in the house, the whole house is integrated, and you can clearly see the layout inside.
A bed, a futon, a few chairs, a table. The rest is nothing else.
Sitting on the table, Yu Sheng coughed lightly, and then slowly spoke: "This place is the residence of one of the powerful ancestors of my Yu family, and it was later regarded as an ancestral house by our Yu family. I believe that the two of you have also felt that this ancestral house has some magical power, and I will not hide it from you here, this is because there is a thing buried under the ancestral house that is enough to shake the entire Human Emperor Ancient Mine. It is this thing that makes our Yu family and the human emperor gradually become incompatible. ”
"Wait, Brother Yu, I'm confused when you say that. You said that your Yu family and the human emperor are incompatible, so why does the human emperor still crown your father as the rain king?" Chen Bai interrupted Yusheng's words with some confusion.
Hearing him say this, Yusheng couldn't help but sneer, and said with some disdain: "The reason why my father was named the Rain King is entirely because the Emperor of Men is afraid of the things buried under the ancestral house. If it weren't for this thing, I'm afraid he would be the first to find the Yu family to settle the score. ”
Chen Bai nodded a little clearly, and did not continue to speak, just quietly watched the sound of the rain, waiting for his next words. As for the phantom sound, I have been listening to it without any sense of existence, and I don't have any intention of expressing my opinion at all.
Seeing that both of them were looking at him, Yusheng continued to speak.
"Our Yu family and the human emperor are now incompatible, my father has long been ready to plan, when all the important ministers who are outside return to the royal city to report on their work this winter, the human emperor will be pulled off the throne, and my Yu family will take his place!" When he said the end, his eyes had already shown a bit of fanatical light, and he looked a little stunning.
"That's it?" Unlike his excitement, Chen Bai buttoned his nose, and his face was full of speechless expressions.
"Uh, what else?" asked Yusheng, a little puzzled.
"What about the plan?" asked Chen Bai without the slightest hesitation. He wasn't afraid that Yu Sheng would feel any discomfort because of his straightforward questioning, after all, it was also his whim to cooperate with the Yu family, and he just wanted to get an ally in the game with the Human Emperor. But if the Yu family can't come up with any elaborate plans, he doesn't mind kicking this pig teammate aside and waiting for the opportunity to move when the time comes.
But fortunately, after hearing his words, Yusheng not only did not show any displeasure, but laughed softly and said, "Brother Xu, Brother Xu, you are really in a hurry." Don't worry, and let me tell you. ”
After saying that, he leaned forward slightly, and whispered about the Yu family's specific plan to launch a mutiny at the end of the year, and also introduced the situation in the Human Emperor and the Human Emperor's Ancient Mine by the way.
After quietly listening to the story of the rain, Chen Bai nodded slowly, with a smile on his face, and some thoughts in his heart.
