Chapter 145: Apprenticeship on a Snowy Night
The weather was still bitterly cold, the icy wind was blowing all the time, and one after another snowflakes suddenly appeared, sprinkled on the corpses, covered the blood all over the ground, and fell to every corner of Jinling.
"It's snowing, and it's the best time to kill." Zhao Dezhao closed the window and walked to Wang Wushan's boudoir, at this moment Wang Wushan had already applied medicine, bandaged his wounds, and was lying on the boudoir to recuperate.
Zhao Dezhao and Ouyang Yuntian exited the room, and then ordered the little maid to make a pot of tea and sit in Changyin Xuan to talk.
Between the huge rooms, although the ice and snow are cold outside, the inside of the house is warm like spring.
Ouyang Yuntian sat on the soft couch, he lowered his head, and recalled the thrilling picture in his mind, at that time everything was quite thrilling, Shi Cai recalled that the cold sweat had been flowing, even though the room was warm like spring, but this heart has been cold, now that he understands it, he feels that he has made the most correct decision.
Zhao Dezhao saw that he kept his head down, so he said, "Is Mr. Ouyang still thinking about Fang Cai?" ”
"Hmm! The old man just thinks that life is really changeable, people's hearts are also changeable, and the vicissitudes of the world, the road is simple, there are many things that should be adhered to in this world, morality is eternal, and people live for a lifetime, not for their own selfishness. If it weren't for King Wei's words to wake up the person in his dream, the old man and I would have a different ending. ”
Zhao Dezhao didn't immediately take Ouyang Yuntian's words, he just smiled, the pot of water in front of him had been boiled on the bamboo charcoal, and he was spraying water out at the moment. He picked up a teapot made of glass, put some tea leaves, and made a pot of tea. Hot water poured from the teapot, and the tea leaves in the glass cup immediately tumbled with the tea, and the green leaves were full of life.
Outside, the wind and snow gradually became heavier, and the wind whistled through, beating on the small wooden windows, and several windows kept fluttering.
"It's windy and snowy outside, this is Longjing tea brought from Wuyue Guoxifu, Mr. Ouyang, but drink this cup to warm your body, as for the rest, don't think about it for the time being."
Ouyang Yuntian gently picked up the glass cup and observed the tea leaves slowly moving in the cup of water, this kind of tea he had never seen, usually what he had seen was usually tea cakes, but he felt that it retained the most primitive part, just like his pure heart today. He picked up the glass cup, the water in the cup was very hot, he blew it, and when it was no longer so hot, he took a sip. Suddenly, the sweetness of the tea flowed into my lips and teeth, and I felt a little bitter at first.
Zhao Dezhao asked, "What does Mr. Ouyang think of this tea, how many more sips can you taste?" ”
Ouyang Yuntian then took a few more sips, this tea was faint and fragrant, and the entrance was no longer so bitter, but faintly sweet and clear.
"Isn't it bitter first and then sweet." Zhao Dezhao suddenly said, "First bitter and then sweet, the same is true of life." In this world, people can't just live for themselves, and today there is no peace, many people are still short of food and clothing, but we can drink tea here and talk about the Tao, which is also a blessing. And this tea is picked little by little by the hands of those tea farmers, so it is the people who are the most difficult to come by. When I was a child, I once went to a mountain in the west of Wuyue Kingdom, and personally picked the tea there, those people got up from morning to evening, some people can pick up to two or three catties, and then I handed them the process of making tea, four catties of clear tea can be fried into a catty of dry tea, which will condense their hard work, so this cup of tea is not only a cup of tea, but also their blood, sweat and hard work. After Zhao Dezhao said this, he remembered his previous life, in which his grandmother's family had grown tea for generations.
Ouyang Yuntian, who was sitting opposite, did not speak, he was still thinking about Zhao Dezhao's words repeatedly.
After a long time
"After listening to King Wei's words, the old man felt that he had found the right person." After speaking, Ouyang Yuntian took out a yellowed booklet from his pocket and solemnly handed it to Zhao Dezhao, he felt that he must hand over this thing to Zhao Dezhao today.
Zhao Dezhao didn't know what this was, and when he took it and looked at it, he knew that this book was the ghost and god peerless sword technique that Ouyang Yuntian said, and he hurriedly excused himself and said: "Old man, this book is valuable, but your sword technique cheats, how can this be made, you should collect it yourself." ”
"The old man just saw that you made a good swordsmanship, which won the inheritance of Wang Jian'er and Wang Yansheng, and you saved the old man's life, not to mention that the old man is now old, and he also hopes to pass on this sword technique under the hands of King Wei, so that the old man's sword skills will not be buried, so King Wei still accepts it."
"How does this work?"
"King Wei should accept it, and in the future, you can also fight with your master instead of the old man, see if the old man's swordsmanship is strong or your master's swordsmanship."
"This ...... That's fine. Zhao Dezhao understood his intentions, and suddenly his face became solemn, intending to accept this thing, so that he could rest assured, so he said, "Master is above, please accept the disciple's worship." ”
Zhao Dezhao was about to bow down, but Ouyang Yuntian immediately stopped him and said, "How can this be done?" The old man is clothed, and he deserves such a big gift from King Wei. This master-apprentice friendship is still exempt. ”
"This ...... Since you have received the favor of the old gentleman, you naturally want to worship it, or I will not accept it if I die, and you and Master Wang are also old acquaintances, and you can be regarded as half a teacher. The master is above, and the disciple Dezhao is invited to accept a bow. ”
Ouyang Yuntian saw that King Wei didn't put up a fight, and he knew the etiquette, he was still very relieved, and he said: "Since this is the case, the old man has no choice but to accept it." ”
"Master, I still have something to tell you, please Master can cooperate with the disciple, or according to the previous strategy of you and Li Congqing, for the time being, don't let Li Congqing find out that those people have been wiped out by me, in addition, the disciple will send an elite team from Changchun Hall to help Master, so as to gradually control the situation in Jinling City."
"That's fine, but there is still an extremely powerful force in Jinling City, they are called ghosts, I don't know how you should deal with it?" Ouyang Yuntian was also a little worried, because the strength of the ghost was not bad.
"Master doesn't have to worry, there is no need to act rashly for the time being, and when the time is right, the disciple will think of a way to clean them up."
"That's fine, since you have a countermeasure, then my cheap master will do everything according to what King Wei said."
It was late at night, and the two planned to rest in Qingyin Pavilion for one night and wait until tomorrow to act.
The snowflakes outside the house have been getting bigger and bigger, and they have accumulated a thick layer, no matter where they are, they are white, and the heavy snow has covered all the traces outside the house, but they can't hide the desire in people's hearts, and this desire has changed with the change of the situation.
The entire capital is already under the control of Li Congqing, the king of Qi, and the men and horses sent by Li Congqing are also secretly looking for Li Yu's whereabouts.
Now in the Qi Palace, Li Congqing is still standing in front of the coffin, Wang Counselor is like an old servant guarding Li Congqing's side, and the rest of the forbidden army is also guarding around the Qi Palace.
Li Congqing got up from the futon, and then kicked the futon, "These people are a bunch of waste, Li Yu has been looking for so long and hasn't found it, this king is afraid that Li Yu will suddenly run out when the time comes." ”
"Why bother yourself, in fact, as long as the minister supports you to take the throne, once the prince takes the throne, what if Li Yu really comes back, when the wood is already in the boat, just push everything to King Zheng Li Congshan, and everyone knows that it is King Zheng who rebelled, and when Li Congshan is beheaded, His Majesty will enshrine Li Yu as the emperor and be imprisoned in the palace, and the world will be in the hands of the prince."
"Hehe, thanks to Uncle Wang's reminder." Li Congqing, the king of Qi, has been running around the palace of Qi, the palace and the prison of Dali Temple in the past few days, in addition to the funeral, he also has to send people to find Li Yu's whereabouts in secret.
Since Li Yu's disappearance, the throne is vacant, a few days ago, under a conspiracy, Li Congqing made people burn the palace, so that Li Yu ostensibly died in the palace fire, resulting in the situation that Li Yu was dead, and the responsibility for the fire was aimed at Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, so that he was confirmed to be responsible for the rebellion and the killing of the emperor.
Although the throne was already beckoning to him, his heart had been uneasy, and he cooperated with Ouyang Yuntian and others to find out Li Yu's whereabouts, but he had not found it so far. Li Yu couldn't find it for a day, and Li Congqing felt a thorn in his back and was elbowed.
In the palace and in the palace of King Qi, there are dead people's coffins parked, Li Congqing has been busy enough these days, sometimes he has to go to the palace of Qi Wangfu, sometimes he has to go to the palace, and he has to be responsible for the funeral, after all, in legal theory, they are all their relatives, and the funeral must be done, and he must be like a filial person, leaving a good name of a virtuous king to everyone in the Tang Kingdom.
Li Congqing is now keeping a vigil in his mansion, and the funeral of a prince usually takes a long time, and now Li Congqing has also confidently mastered the situation in the entire Jinling, so he plans to enthrone himself, so he will crown his father as the emperor and choose a good burial place, so he secretly also sent a feng shui master to choose the place where the imperial tomb was built near Zhongshan in the north of the city.
In addition, now the government and the opposition all believe that Li Yu's death was caused by the rebellious King Zheng, and Li Congqing, the king of Qi, took Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, at this moment, and the reputation of the king of Qi also rose sharply for a while, and now the throne is vacant, and the king of Qi has temporarily become a prisoner of the country, temporarily leading the military and political affairs, but the officials and the people think that the next Tang king is Li Congqing. Since Li Congqing, the king of Qi, became a prisoner, the prison of Dali Temple is still imprisoned by Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, and after Li Congqing ascends the throne, King Zheng will become the scapegoat of the king of Qi and be beheaded. This Li Congqing was proud, as if victory was beckoning to him.
"Uncle Wang, what is this king doing now?"
This Wang Counselor has been by Li Congqing's side to remind him, which is equivalent to a strategist, and every time he gives Li Congqing's advice, it is extremely incisive, "This time, the prince is a little restless, as for those ministers, the prince can win over them, and try to get along with those ministers, as for the matter of looking for Li Yu, it is normal to not find it for a while, as long as Li Yu does not leave Jinling City, all this will be easy to do." ”
"Yes, yes, what Uncle Wang said is reasonable, the little nephew is so unstable, these days thanks to the uncle on the side, otherwise the little nephew will definitely take a lot of detours."
General Wang Counselor waved his hand and said slowly: "The prince really doesn't have to bother himself, everything just needs to push the boat and do his best, and now the prince has almost controlled most of the military defense and control of Jinling City in his own hands, and the rest is the support of the civilian officials." However, the civil official's side, I believe that with the performance of the prince in the hall that day, many ministers have a very kind attitude towards the prince, and the prince has been running funerals for the lord of the country for this period of time, and the officials and people of Jinling are also in their eyes and in their hearts. Just like the snow outside the house, although it was born in the severe cold, it only appears in winter every year, as the saying goes, heavy snow is a good omen, but the mood of the people who watch the snow is different. Lord Wang, please see if the snow is getting heavier and heavier. ”
Li Congqing suddenly walked out of the mourning hall quickly, only to see that the snowflakes outside the house were getting bigger and bigger, "As Uncle Wang said, my nephew's heart is very bright."
