Chapter 298: The First Signs
It is said that the scene on the upper floor of the moon in the snow hall is Xiao Suo, since Xiao Zhuo led the crowd to Jindui, although Xi'er is very busy dealing with the government every day, and there are four close-fitting Tsing Yi who are often accompanied by the wind, the snow, the cold moon, and the falling clouds, but they have not seen each other for a long time, so they can't help but worry about their stomachs and miss them day and night.
One night, Xi'er went to the left and right, sat alone in the room, lit a finger of sandalwood, showed the blue lantern of the ancient scrolls, listened to the sound of the wind outside the window, touched the scene, and swayed a poem.
Since last year, I only know that the light onion has passed for more than a year.
Shaohua did not promise spring, and it was difficult to see Zhuo Lang full of tears.
put down the pen and ink, sobbed, and fell asleep in the night outside the Xuan.
Early in the morning of the second day, she woke up in a haze, and saw that the psalms she had done last night were still laid on the table, but they had been changed, and Xi'er was surprised to read it.
The master has promised three patriarchal methods, one yuan chaos and lotus flower.
Two points of the spring fourteen friends, three watches in the middle of the night rain.
Xi'er was puzzled, thinking that she had fallen asleep on the desk last night, but someone had come in and replaced the psalms without knowing it. The guards were urgently called to ask, but they didn't know.
Xi'er saw that there was a bit of Taoism hidden in the poem, and summoned the four people in Tsing Yi to interpret the poem.
Yingfeng carefully read the poem and said to Xi'er: "In my opinion, this poem seems simple, but it is a hidden murderous motive. ”
"How?" Ciel asked.
"Fourteen friends in the spring are divided into two points, and it rains in the middle of the night on the third watch. If I'm not mistaken, it rained last night, but it was very short, about the third watch, I vaguely heard the sound of the rain, if I am not mistaken, the man must have broken in when it was raining. "Windward Channel.
"You're all cyclamen, but what's the feeling?" Ciel said.
Several people shook their heads again and again, and Han Yue took the poem and looked at it and exclaimed: "Look, it said above, the fourteen friends of the spring!" ”
"Fourteen friends of the spring! What do you mean? Several people asked.
"I only heard the master say that there is a place called Huanquan Pond under the Green Ridge, which is a piece of feng shui treasure land that the countries of the Western Regions competed to grab, producing fine wine and spices, and then a group of thieves came out of nowhere, a total of 14 people, everyone called for wind and rain, the magic power is boundless, they established a secret organization in the Huanquan Pool, named the Fourteen Friends of the Huantai, in fact, they controlled the trade of the entire Huanquan Pond area, the circulation of wine and spices had to be nodded by them, the local people were helpless, raised troops to resist, but were defeated by the Fourteen Friends, He became a prisoner and a slave, and toiled for them day and night. I have also heard that whenever there is a place where there is a haunt of the Tsushi, there will be a burst of clouds and rain, and the rain is the spring water of the Tsuizumi Pond, which is very sweet, but it is not drinkable, and the clothes soaked in the rain will immediately burn, and the skin will form dark spots when it comes into contact with it, and it will be difficult to remove it. "Hanyue Road.
Several people gathered around in a cloud of surprise, looking at the pavilions and pavilions outside the window There were residual rainwater and dewdrops, and if you looked closely, the originally smooth layer of glazed billets on the tiles had been corroded, and a faint black smoke came out.
"I waited for him to have no grievances and no enmity, and I came at night to exchange my poems, what is the purpose of leaving these few lines?" Hill paced the trail.
"Sister don't worry, even if they come to find trouble, we are not idle people, and we will not sit back and watch him act recklessly!" Falling Cloud Road.
Xue said: "Since they have provoked, we still have to pay more attention, like last night, they replaced my sister's poems, and we didn't even realize it, so it can be seen that they are not ordinary roads." ”
Windward said: "It is difficult to see what their intentions are from this poem, and they need to be observed, if it is really done by the Fourteenth Tree, from the Green Ridge to Qingyun City, how can they come and go, and the Tao is deep, if there is no clear intention, it will not be so wasteful, and our four sisters will not leave our sister half a step from today." ”
Xi'er nodded yes, and went to check all parts of Tingxue Hall with a few people, and there was nothing unusual, and then entered the palace to say hello, and there was no explanation, so I didn't mention it first.
It is said that since a nameless heavy rain fell that day and night, Xi'er's poems were replaced, but it seemed to have attracted a surprise. It is gratifying to be busy with the masons who come in groups, and they are very happy.
One morning after the court, Huang Qi summoned Xi'er into the side hall to discuss state affairs, and then brought the Western Regions wine to taste with Xi'er, Xi'er did not dare to slack off, and accompanied his father to drink a few more glasses during the conversation, but felt that the taste in the wine was unusual, and asked: "Although my father's wine is as large as a lake and sea, he can drink it until night from the morning to the morning, and he is not drunk?" ”
"I don't know, this wine is different from my Han wine, you see it is crystal clear, but slightly red, it is not made of grain, drink it for a day, only feel slightly warm and comfortable, no harm." Huang Qi said with a smile.
Xi'er said: "The wine in the Western Regions has been drunk, and the jar given by my father has been found in the warehouse, and I don't dare to drink it alone, but although this wine is made from grapes, it can taste a little sweetness, which is not easy, and it should not be the wine of Pishan." ”
"As far as you are smart, the taste of wine is slightly different and you have tasted it, to tell you the truth, ten days ago, there was a merchant from the green ridge passing through here, shouting outside the palace gate, since ancient times kings love fine wine, but there is no blessing to share with my wine, it is a pity... It's a pity... The man shouted for a morning, and the attendants could understand it, and I told him to bring the wine to an altar, and open the altar to take a scoop to drink, but it was a fine wine, not at all, and he loved to drink, and bought all his wine for a lot of money, and now he drank his wine. Huang Qi said excitedly.
Xi'er hurriedly said, "Where is the wine seller now?" ”
"Hahaha... Why, you have to buy it, if my son also loves this wine, and my father will give you a few jars, why bother to buy it, that person is afraid that he will go back long ago. ”
"No, my father atoned for the sins of my son, but it is not appropriate to explain it now, and I also asked my father to inform my son of the chamberlain who bought wine that day, and my son has something to ask him." Ciel said.
While speaking, I saw a black-clothed attendant under the main hall walking out with a smile: "It was the minister who went to buy wine that day." ”
Xi'er glanced at the chamberlain from afar, turned to Huang Qi and whispered: "There are a total of ten of my father's personal chamberlain, but this person has never met. ”
Huang Qi said: "This person's name is Huanyi, Fengyongren, he only entered the palace half a month ago, he used to taste wine, his family background is innocent, just because he offended the owner of the tavern, he actually castrated his body, reported that his family wanted to serve Lonely, Lone thought that he had a first-class amount of wine, and often tasted wine with him, as long as Lone was drinking, he was accompanied by the left and right, and never slack. ”
"Miichi!" Xi'er exclaimed, and then remembered the words of the fourteen friends of Hutai that day Hanyue, no need to ask again in person, only looked at the person carefully, and talked with him a few words, talking about the type and quality of the wine in the palace, seeing that the person spoke like a woman and spoke softly, and his face was like a crown of jade, hiding a bit of weak temperament, but it was a castrated person, Xi'er flattered his father a few words, and still said some good words to welcome him, and asked for the wine to an altar, bid farewell to his father, and immediately returned to the house.
Listening to the snow hall, everyone sat together, and the four Tsing Yi were naturally in the column, and Ma Yuanye and Pei Guang were also not a problem.
Ma Yuanye opened his mouth and said: "What you just said about the fourteen friends of Hutai selling wine and entering the palace, this matter is true!" ”
"Naturally, just now I have passed through the divine map, arrived at the spring pool, tasted the local wine, and brought back a jar of wine, and compared it with the fine wine given by the palace, the taste is not bad at all." Pei Guangdao.
"It's true that Yutai Fourteen sneaked into the palace, but I have nothing to do with him, but I don't know what it means?" Ciel said.
Pei Guangdao: "Needless to say, with his own mana, the purpose of picking up the artifact is to do so." ”
"What's wrong with the others?" Ciel asked.
Pei Guangdao: "The eldest son Chen Tong guarded the West Mountain without much change, and the second son Ji Bulin went to the north to train the Yiding Tu Cavalry, and it was not a threat for the time being, Pang Qing and Pang Liang were stationed in Fengyong and Qipan, and they summoned countless orchid beauties from the Western Regions, singing every night, not to worry, but Yan Qing and Bailong have had many intersections with the wilderness since they were in charge of the defense of the capital, one is in charge of the outer city, and the other is in charge of the inner city, and the two sides have friction from time to time. ”
"That Yan Qing and Bai Long are proud that their subordinates have a wide range of cavalry battalions, and they are arrogant and uninhibited, and they don't take Tingxue Tang in their eyes at all." Yuan Ye said angrily.
"Oh, by the way, I also heard that Xiao Zhuo is already prosperous in Jindui, not to mention marrying Feiyue, the lord of Jingyue Lake, and repairing Jindui, and now he is already on the dominant side." Pei Guangdao.
"Marriage! This kid... How to do something so reckless... If Yan Qing and Bailong do not belong to our party, they will have to be eliminated sooner or later, I am afraid that they will collude inside and outside and make some things, now there is no difference in the country, so they will concentrate on the fourteenth of the year, everyone pay more attention, the fifth brother will accompany the father and the king to respond more, and there will inevitably be an external response to do things in the palace, as long as you grasp the slightest handle in your hand, you will definitely break it into thousands of pieces, so that they can't listen to Xuetang's jokes. Ciel said.
