Chapter 38: The Dead Plum Tree
The king of Shang took Huang Xue to bypass the official building, walked around the Xianqing Hall twice, and searched for a long time through a lot of grass and trees, before he said helplessly: "There should be a small door here, and you can enter a room in the Xianqing Hall that no one knows, but I can't find it." ”
Huang Xue only remembered at this time that since Concubine Yang didn't know this place, she should not have this place in her dream, and she was happy just now.
The king of Shang sighed while continuing to search: "When I was young, I didn't want to sit down and study, and the teacher was in a hurry, so I would hide here. Why haven't you been here for more than ten years, but you can't find it?"
When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately became interested and said: "The king was afraid of Mr. when he was young, but the concubine never thought of it. ”
The king of Shang said angrily: "Do you want to be like Uncle Zigan Wang, who treats those books of sages as treasures?"
Huang Xueqi said: "Speaking of which, Yaxiang's humanistic talent is indeed very knowledgeable, and I don't know which gentleman taught it? Why don't you invite the professor to the king?"
When the king of Shang heard this, his face immediately darkened, and he muttered after a while: "Uncle Wang is only two years older than me, and both of us were taught by Mr. Du when we were young. ”
Huang Xue was taken aback when she heard this, she just asked casually before, but she didn't want this question to make the king of Shang a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly said: "The concubine's gaffe made the king unhappy, please forgive the king." ”
The king of Shang waved his hand casually and said, "It's okay, I really didn't like to read back then, and I have nothing to hide." Back then, this small room was secretly repaired by Uncle Zigan Wang, who was hiding here to eavesdrop on the minister's deliberations and take the opportunity to study, but he didn't want to be discovered by me and robbed it as a place to play lazily. ”
Huang Xue covered her mouth and chuckled, "Isn't Lord Yaxiang going to be disappointed?"
King Shang said: "That's not true, I later begged my father for him, and allowed him to go to the palace at the age of ten to listen to the government, and he is still grateful to me." In fact, I also have some regrets, if I was as studious as Uncle Wang when I was young, it would be much easier to deal with the government now, speaking of which, those days were wasted after all. ”
Huang Xue comforted when she heard this: "The king has done a good job now, and the ministers all say that the king is the king of the Holy Ming." In fact, those days are not wasted, and the happiness brought by childhood fun cannot be bought by spending time and money when you grow up. Speaking of which, it was the loss of Lord Axiang. ”
When the king of Shang heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then said: "There is some truth in this, and it is indeed difficult for me to feel the happiness of my childhood now." In this way, I should have gained a lot from my childhood. Haha!" he laughed.
Huang Xue was startled when she heard King Shang laughing, and hurriedly said, "The king is quiet, don't attract the inner servants." ”
Hearing this, the Shang King hurriedly put away his laughter, and looked at Huang Xue with burning eyes for a long time, until Huang Xue lowered his head a little shyly, and then said, "Beauty, you have successfully pleased me." ”
When Huang Xue heard this, she immediately felt that the good atmosphere just now had been destroyed, how could she be used to hearing such machismo words, a female white-collar worker in the 21st century?
Rolling her eyes, she was considering the words and wanted to assassinate the king of Shang twice, when she suddenly heard a voice in the distance: "There is a sound in the Xianqing Palace, you go over and take a look." But it really attracted the chamberlain.
Huang Xue glanced at King Shang again in the dark, and said helplessly: "King, in order to prevent your childhood memories from being discovered by outsiders, the concubines should avoid us for a while." ”
The king of Shang chuckled a little embarrassedly and said, "The beauty played, I will be gracious." Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, go with me, no one can catch me in my palace. ”
Finally, while the two of them were hiding, the sky began to dawn.
Huang Xue was so tired that she was sore, she sat on the ground and refused to get up, and complained in her mouth: "The king, I haven't found a single hiding place you said, and I haven't found a few paths, and the concubines will really be tired to death if they run again, and they won't be able to accompany the king." The concubine would rather be captured by the guards now, which is a comfortable way to die, and the king just remembers to wake up tomorrow to avenge the concubine. ”
The king of Shang was also too tired, how could he try to be driven away all night, still in his own palace. He pulled Huang Xue up hard, panting and said, "Beauty, you have said for the twelfth time that you are going to be tired to death, and you are not really tired, so get up and walk with me again, it should be past the hour now." ”
Huang Xue pouted and complained: "Who knows when Concubine Yang will sleep, what if she is interested in it today and sleeps until noon? No, she is dead, she is really dead this time." As he spoke, he simply lay down on the ground without any image.
The king of Shang exclaimed: "Beauty, your mouth is so unlucky, don't talk nonsense, otherwise I will be killed by you." ”
Huang Xue was about to open her mouth to refute, when suddenly the surrounding scene was in a trance, and the two of them turned into a light cyan light and disappeared into the palace.
Huang Xue and Shang Wang woke up almost at the same time, but found that the two were lying on Concubine Yang's bed, and Concubine Yang had disappeared at this time.
Huang Xue eased her nerves, only felt extremely sore all over, and looked at the Shang King on the side, who was also weak.
Suddenly, she remembered the four Wucheng kings, and wondered if they had escaped the pursuit of the guards last night.
She hurriedly looked into the room, but she didn't see the four of King Wucheng, but saw Yaxiang Zigan and General Chao Lei guarding the door of the palace like door gods.
When the two saw Shang Wang and Huang Xue wake up, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. Huang Xue didn't care about etiquette, and hurriedly asked, "Two adults, King Wucheng, have they woken up?"
It was very disrespectful for her to speak in front of the Shang King like this, if it was ordinary, it would be a big crime, so neither of them dared to speak, but looked at the Shang King with some concern.
The king of Shang was not impressed by this matter, and waved his hand and said, "The beauty is asking me questions, why don't you two answer?"
When Zigan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "They have been awake for more than half an hour, and they are outside the door at this time. ”
King Shang said: "Pass." ”
A moment later, the four of King Wucheng walked in and bowed to the King of Shang. The Shang King asked, "How were the four Qing families last night?"
King Wucheng thanked him and said: "King Xie cares, thanks to the king's blessings, and the ministers are fine." ”
King Shang said, "Where did Concubine Yang go?"
The son on the side said: "Your lord, Concubine Yang is not in good spirits when she gets up in the morning, she yells, and the minister is afraid that she will disturb the king's rest, so he arranged for her to go elsewhere to recuperate." Fang Caichen heard that she had calmed down and stopped making noise, so please don't worry about it. ”
Last night, Concubine Yang was stimulated like this, and it was normal for her to wake up a little abnormally. King Shang nodded, but did not speak.
At this time, the King of Shang saw that the four of King Wucheng were not as tired as himself and Huang Xue, so he asked, "Strange, why do you four seem to be in good spirits?"
King Wucheng said: "Back to the king, after separating from the king and the Sumers last night, the ministers rested early. ”
"Rest?" Huang Xue couldn't help but say when she heard this: "Could it be that you have found some hiding place?"
King Wu Cheng was stunned and said, "Where is it hidden? After the ministers and others separated, they were caught by the chamberlain. ”
Shang Wang said: "Are you caught?
King Wu Cheng was stunned again, and only after a while did he say: "The ministers never escaped, and they rested after being caught in prison." ”
The king of Shang said in disbelief: "Could it be that the guards didn't kill you?"
When King Wu Cheng heard this, he said, "This ...... If the Emperor did not resist, the ordinary assassins would not be killed on the spot, but would be taken to prison, and the next morning they would be interrogated by the ministers behind the scenes. This one...... Even if it is a major crime of assassinating the Son of Heaven, it is necessary to ask behind the scenes and behead him by the order of the new monarch. Don't you know?"
When Huang Xue heard this, she suddenly felt that her eyes were dark, and they ran all night in vain last night.
She glanced at the king of Shang with infinite sorrow, but she didn't know what to say. King Shang felt her eyes and sneered, "This...... I am the king of a country, how can I become a prisoner of the ranks, beauty, do you say yes?"
Huang Xue lamented: "The king is wise and martial, and his concubines are very admired. ”
The awkward silence lasted for a long time, and King Shang Zhengse asked King Wucheng: "The monster was killed last night, and the demon tree in the palace is dead." ”
King Wu Cheng looked at the three juniors beside him, seeing that none of them meant to speak, and looked at Zigan and Chao Lei as if asking for help, but they didn't open their mouths for a long time.
Finally, the upright Chao Lei stepped forward and said, "The king, ...... dead" The king of Shang was about to be overjoyed, but Chao Lei continued: "...... One. ”
"What?" said the Shang King, "Only one died?"
Chao Lei saw that the King of Shang's face was ugly, and said tremblingly: "The one at the gate of Xinqing Palace is dead." ”
The king of Shang said angrily: "It took so much effort last night, why did only one tree die?"
Everyone was silent, and it was no wonder that no one wanted to speak, but they were afraid that they would feel uncomfortable.
The king of Shang said angrily: "Let's go and see." ”
Sure enough, an undefeated plum tree at the gate of Xinqing Palace withered and died there, and the king of Shang pulled out his knife and cut it down, and the plum tree fell off and turned into dust.
Everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and Huang Yan said: "Now the Loose Pattern Sword can only be used once, but I don't know if there is any surplus in the Cloud Immortal Chief?"
Everyone shook their heads and did not speak.
If he remembered correctly, the undefeated plum planted in the palace at that time was 5,000!
Even if the Loose Sword could be used indefinitely, they didn't have that much time. Even if there is no time limit, they can't stand such a toss.
Dead, dead!
What to do?!
At this time, an attendant came to ask the king of Shang if he was still in the early dynasty today.
Who cares about the early dynasty now?
