Chapter 81: Heart-to-heart with tea
The garrison of the Dragon City Dynasty can be described as three layers inside and three layers outside, and the outside of the imperial city is controlled by the armor-breaking army and the Xuanwolf army, in addition to patrolling the camps. In addition to the ordinary forbidden army in the dynasty, the nine guards founded by Emperor Wu were responsible for the guards of various palaces, courtyards and palaces, and the Shenwu Wei was the head of the nine guards.
At this moment, Yun Ruowu and the other three were led by Ye Fei through the corridors of the courtyards, and came to a bamboo sea in the West Garden of the Imperial City, which was adjacent to Linze Palace, but standing in the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, they could see the whole picture of the Linze Palace, and they could see the situation of the attachΓ©s outside the palace clearly.
Outside the bamboo gate at the Zhuhai Mountain crossing, the four flying eagle riders blocked everyone's way, although Yun Ruowu didn't know what rank these four horsemen were, but they actually dared to intercept their way, they were not ordinary Praetorian Guards. He no longer made fun of the sword on his side, but stood behind the two of them with a calm expression.
"Under the Divine Martial Guard, Ye Fei." Ye Fei took out a copper token from his waist.
The two riders glanced at each other to make sure there was no mismatch, and then moved their bodies back to make way of the narrow mountain path. Yun Ruowu, under the escort of Sword Shadow Moon and Sword Feather, followed the guards of the Shenwu Guard down the stone steps towards the mountain.
Less than half an hour later, everyone finally came to the pavilion in the middle of the mountain, the breeze in the forest blew through their clothes, Yun Ruowu felt a cool breeze, and a thin sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead and neck and swept away under the cool breeze.
After all, he is a disciple of the Yuntian Sect, although he has not learned the powerful martial arts in the sect, but he is still very good at climbing mountains and escaping. Yun Ruowu glanced at the mountain calmly, because he was too far away, although he couldn't see what was happening in the courtyard of Linze Palace, he saw that everyone was in a commotion again.
In front of the pavilion and bamboo courtyard, Ye Fei stopped, respectfully arched his hand to the three people behind him, and said in a low voice, "Later, the three of you, I will go to Tongyu." β
The three of them did not speak, glanced at each other, and nodded silently.
"Du's father-in-law is really idle, doesn't he have to accompany the emperor?" Yun Ruowu asked softly while Ye Fei stepped forward.
Since entering the mountain forest, Jian Yu and Jian Shenyue have noticed that many Heavenly Rank Grandmasters have infiltrated the forests on both sides of the mountain road, and the pavilion in front of them at this moment is less than a hundred steps, and there are more hidden masters in the forest.
Although they heard Yun Ruowu's boring question, the two were in no mood to deal with him. As the eldest disciple of the Remnant Sword Tower, Jian Yu also had to pay attention to the hidden master in this forest, and he and the sword and the moon on his side wholeheartedly raised their spirits to deal with the dangers that might occur at any time.
"The three young heroes, Duke Du has an order, only ask Yun Shaoxia to come forward alone." An ink-colored brocade-clothed rider stepped forward quickly from the bamboo courtyard and stood in front of the three of them to speak.
Jian Yu and Jian Shenyue stopped Yun Ruowu at the same time, for fear that the other party would forcibly take Yun Ruowu away. The two of them protected Yun Ruowu behind them with four arms, and their eyes swept vigilantly across the bamboo forests around the mountain road, only hearing the sound of a cool breeze hitting the forest, but there was no footsteps of half a figure approaching them.
Ti Cai, who was standing in front of Jian Yu, coughed lightly and said with a wry smile, "Don't worry, two of you. Today, in the Imperial City, I am afraid that no one can hurt Yun Shaoxia. β
"Senior brother, you see?" Jian Shenyue glanced at the sword feather guarding directly in front of her, and hurriedly asked. Although there are many masters lurking around, there seems to be no sign of stepping forward to forcibly seize people, and the rider in front of him is very polite and respectful.
"Yun Shaoxia, Gonggong Du has been waiting inside for a long time." The rider bowed down again, making a leading gesture.
"Okay," Yun Ruowu pushed Jian Mingyue and Jian Yu away, walked between the two of them, slowly walked towards the bamboo courtyard, nodded firmly with a look in his eyes, and said softly, "It's okay, if Gonggong Du really wants to do something, he won't wait until now." What's more, he ordered the three of us to be taken away in full view. β
"Okay." Jian Mingyue and Jian Yu stepped forward quickly, watching Yun Ruowu enter the pavilion near the edge of the cliff in the bamboo courtyard. The two of them were stopped at the gate of the bamboo courtyard by four ink-colored brocade riders, and they had to poke their heads out and look inside.
"Gonggong Du, Yun Shaoxia has brought it." Standing on the bluestone floor outside the pavilion, the rider arched his hand and whispered.
Du Yun was still standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the begonia tree on the mountain behind Linze Palace in the distance, and gently waved his hand, signaling everyone in the courtyard to retreat. The three Ti Cavalry and the maids serving on the side retreated to the gate of the bamboo courtyard one after another, standing with Jian Shenyue and Jian Yu.
"Shaoxia..."Du Yun coughed lightly, and then asked, "Do you like begonia flowers?" β
Yun Ruowu didn't know what Du Yun meant, and suddenly saw the towering begonia tree in the direction opposite Du Yun, and remembered that he was assassinated that night, and it was under that begonia tree. The pupils of his eyes subconsciously widened slightly, and he took a few steps back nervously, and whispered in his mouth, "You... You... Are you the Assassin of the night? β
Hearing that Yun Ruowu mistook himself for this moment, Du Yun laughed out loud in embarrassment, and he turned to look at the short and fat young man outside the pavilion, who did not have the heroic spirit of Emperor Ming when he was young.
"Yun Shaoxia misunderstood." Du Yun bowed, slowly sat down, looked at the table of sumptuous dishes in front of him, and waved his right hand lightly to signal Yun Ruowu to enter the table.
"Me?" Yun Ruowu was stunned for a moment, then pointed to himself with his right hand and asked. He took a closer look at the rickety old man in front of him, not like either of the two men who had assassinated him that night.
"Yes, it's you." Du Yun drank a cup of tea, patted Tuan Pu on his side with his right hand, and said with a kind smile, "Yun Shaoxia will sit here." β
Yun Ruowu also looked to find out, what did the Duke Du in front of him want to do. He plucked up his courage, arched his hand, walked forward quickly to Du Yun's side, and said in a low voice, "Dare to ask Duke Du what is the so-called matter of inviting me here?" β
"No hurry, no hurry. Yun Shaoxia had a cup of tea first. Du Yun filled a cup of tea with trembling hands and slowly pushed Yun Ruowu in front of him. Said slowly, "This is just shipped by Yun Tianshan a few years ago, I'm afraid it's already a masterpiece." β
"Ahh Although Yun Ruowu didn't really believe the words of the old man in front of him, after all, he had only been in contact twice, but when his eyes moved to the teacup, he was surprised to find that it was indeed the tea picked in the mountains that he had accompanied his senior brothers in the past.
Yun Ruowu was surprised in his heart, and remembered that he had heard Master mention it before, and the green tea of Tianyun Mountain had never been passed on, how did this Du Yun get it. He picked up the cup of tea in his right hand and put it to his mouth and sniffed it deeply, and a familiar fragrance of tea poured into his heart and spleen along his nose for a long time.
"The old man didn't lie, did he?" Du Yunlang laughed.
However, Yun Ruowu was even more stunned, his eyes were stunned, he looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and then looked at Du Yun in front of him, and asked curiously, "This tea..."
"Don't worry, this tea was never stolen by the old man." Du Yun moved slightly, took out a very delicate tea box from his robe, and handed it to Yun Ruowu.
