Chapter XXIV
The elegant room is quiet, the fragrance of tea is curling, and Hua Yu looks at Nangong Yi seriously, the words are as crisp as falling beads, but they are so heavy that people can't answer.
The reason why the powerful are so popular is because they can let people touch the realm outside the radius without having to pay the price, it's not that the court doesn't know what the king of Beirong has done over the years, but no one dares to delve into it.
The regent can't rashly use this matter to make a knife, which seems to be aimed at the old minister of the humerus, which is criticized.
So what Hua Yu saw in his calm and unwavering gaze was what it meant - it wasn't that he couldn't take care of it, he didn't want to take care of it.
Hua Yu clenched her fists under the table, is this the case again? At the Prayer for Rain Festival, he did have a last resort, but for his own last resort, he would not save others from death.
You really shouldn't be counting on him, right?
"The Beirong Palace's Danshu Iron Coupon is in the hands of the first emperor, as long as it is not a felony of collaborating with the enemy and treason, any accusation is insignificant to him, are you sure you want to hit the stone with an egg?" Nangong Yi's voice was gorgeous and cold, without a trace of temperature.
"Allowing this cancer to grow up blindly in Chang'an, I don't see any benefit to you, Your Highness. Hua Wei's voice also became cold.
"He didn't provoke me, the day he really provoked me, this king also has a way to deal with it, and the Taoist chief asked this king to take action on this ground, I'm afraid he won't be able to convince me. ”
This person is really a cold-blooded monster without a heart, Bai has a fascinated face, and Hua Wei raised her eyebrows.
"Then there is nothing to say to His Highness, it doesn't matter if His Highness doesn't want to care, just don't stop me. She stood up.
Nangong Yi said suddenly: "Those women who were sent to the palace, many of them went voluntarily, or were sold by the family, the king of Beirong raised a large number of wolf dogs looking for women for him in the south of the Yangtze River, they made a living from this, and even supported their families, the court investigated, these people will cover up in every possible way, those girls who were victimized received money at home, and they will not cooperate, and as soon as this matter passes, the king of Beirong will kill chickens and monkeys, he can't move the king and the adults of the criminal department, but those officials and local officials who go to visit under his hands, Do you know how many people will die if they all reveal the news? The lives of those poor women are fate, and the lives of these people are not their lives in the eyes of the Taoist chief?"
Hua Wei squinted her eyes at him, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "I just ask, does Your Highness care, or doesn't care?"
Nangong Yi's expression was flat, "If you can find a reason for his death, this king can let you blow up the Beirong Palace." ”
Hua Wei was taken aback when she heard this, this means...... He's going to take care of it?
"Can the Taoist master do it? If you can't do it, I advise the Taoist chief not to meddle in things, you can walk away with the support of Taiyuan Guan, but there are many people who want to take their lives for this. ”
Hua Wei immediately slapped the table: "Of course you can, Your Highness must be true to your word." ”
"This king does what he says. ”
Hua Yu really wanted to sign a contract with him, but this is not popular here, she looked Nangong Yi up and down, stretched out her hand in front of him, and said seriously: "There is no basis for words, I am bold, I want to ask His Highness for a token." ”
Nangong Yi was slightly stunned, and seeing that her eyes were firm, she had to withdraw a jade wrench from her index finger, put it lightly in her palm, and reminded: "This is a royal tribute, don't lose it." ”
Hua Yu pursed her lips and put the wrench on her thumb, the thickness was just right, then she was satisfied, raised her head and asked casually: "Is there really only this one condition?
Nangong Yi only replied: "You can do whatever it takes." ”
Hua Yu suddenly felt the coldness of holding the ice edges, and Nangong Yi just talked to her calmly from beginning to end, she didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly said goodbye.
——
After returning to Liuyunguan, she lay down on the bed and began to worry.
said a big thing in front of King Huai, even the regent can't find a reason to sanction the person, what can she do?
King Huai had clearly told her that even if the charge of alchemy with a living person was made public, he would not be able to help King Beirong, and it would be very easy for him to fight back, that is to say, conventional secular methods could not shake him at all.
But what Hua Yu is good at is not these in the first place.
She suddenly thought of his last sentence: You can do whatever it takes, at that time, the ruthlessness hidden in his eyes was like a blade under the moon, as if it could kill people silently.
He is a regent, and he can't be treated like an ordinary person, Hua Yu took a deep breath and looked at the jade wrench in her hand.
Unscrupulous, that's what you said.
——
Jihua Mountain, Taiyuan View.
In the center of the lotus pond, there is a Taoist who sits cross-legged with a dusty back, three thousand ink hair winds down, floating on the water, surrounded by lotus flowers floating around, really like a fairy descending into the world.
Mo Rongsanren came in the air, stopped beside the lotus pond, and saluted respectfully, "Master, the disciple is here." ”
Yuan Yu Zhenren sat on a big lotus leaf, turned around, and there was a solemn and compassionate smile between her eyebrows, her voice seemed to come from the sky, male and female, "Rong'er has worked hard, let you run back here." ”
Mo Rong lowered his head, "It's right to share your worries for Master." ”
Yuan Yu Zhenren laughed, her voice was extremely ethereal, her body was fluttering with undulating spiritual power, a little closer made people feel vast, as if she was in the ocean, it can be seen that her cultivation has reached the peak, just wait for an opportunity, she can soar.
Mo Rong stood in a regular manner, he was also a disciple, Hua Yu dared to play intimately with Yuan Yu Zhenren, but Mo Rong never challenged the majesty of the master.
"Speaking of which, you've been going to Chang'an for a month, right?
Murong hurriedly said, "Yes, she can be said to be very desperate, if you ask her to find the [Misfortune], she will never borrow the hands of others, she must check it herself, so she can rest assured." ”
"She was a conscientious and responsible child. Yuanyu Zhenren smiled, "And full of justice, I want to cultivate her well as a teacher, and you must also support her more, so that she can go further." ”
"The disciple understands. ”
"Do you know why the teacher asked her to find the [Trouble]?"
"To train her?"
"No," Yuan Yu Zhenren shook his head, "You also know how serious the birth of the [Woe] is, as a teacher, you can't delay the big thing for the sake of training, because the seal on her body can stimulate the manifestation of the characteristics of the [Calamity], so as to find the target faster and get twice the result with half the effort." ”
When Mo Rong heard about this for the first time, she couldn't help but be surprised, and asked thoughtfully, "Does she know it herself?"
It is precisely because she doesn't know that she can still be so self-denying and responsible, so that she is worthy of entrusting her with a great responsibility. Yuanyu Zhenren approving.
Mo Rong nodded, but in her heart, Hua Yu was indeed worth entrusting, but who asked her if she was willing?
"When you go back, tell her about this, although she is sensible, but she is too young to stand any tests, you have to guard her, don't let the turbidity of the world pollute her." ”
"Yes, the disciple should keep it in mind. ”
——
Changan.
Princess Gao Ning used the excuse of going out to tea with Hua Wei again, and Cui Lang went.
Hua Wei wandered between the shops, passing by a jewelry store, and bumped into a girl in an apricot-colored gauze dress, she looked up and couldn't help but be surprised.
"Lingxiao, it's you!"
"Ah, Ikebana-chan!" Lingxiao was also very surprised, and then excited.
"What are you ......" Hua Wei saw that she was holding a pipa in her hand, with thick powder, and a bright color, so she didn't dare to say it.
"I never told the Taoist that I was a singer and came to Chang'an alone, and only in this way could I support myself. Lingxiao hurriedly lowered his head, fiddling with the pipa with his little hands, quite restrained and nervous.
"I didn't invite the Taoist chief to me last time, because I was afraid that the Taoist would dislike my humble status. ”
Hua Yu grabbed her and smiled warmly: "I won't, how are you doing now?" I can't leave today after making an appointment, so I'll go to you to listen to the music another day." ”
Lingxiao raised his head and laughed, a pair of pomegranate earrings swayed back and forth, looking playful and amorous, "Well, then I'll wait for the Taoist in Qingjiang Pavilion." ”
Separated from Lingxiao, Hua Wei walked on the road alone, but her mood soared, she was worried about what happened to Lingxiao before, but now that she is doing well, the stone in her heart has finally fallen to the ground - her efforts still have results.
Even Lingxiao, who once just wanted to wait for death, is now trying to survive, and other girls don't deserve to die.
Therefore, just like King Huai said, even if you want to overthrow the king of Beirong by unscrupulous means, no one can die under the demon fire of the Dan furnace.
