Chapter 50: Exploring the Pavilion of the Heartless
Seeing that he could finally speak, Steward Ma kept talking as if he had opened the valve of the reservoir, "I said in my heart why I can't find that place, it turns out that Wangxin Lake was the name of the Qin Dynasty, and now it is not called Wangxin Lake." www.biquge.info It is said that there is a great drought for more than 200 years, and the lake has been dried up by a great drought for more than 200 years, and later people will build houses there, and gradually become a Zhuangzi. After more than 100 years, the Zhuangzi slowly prospered, with the largest casino within a radius of 100 miles. Now it is even more amazing, this Zhuangzi is the largest gambling house in the Southern Song Dynasty, Wuxin Pavilion, when it comes to the name of this gambling house, it is still handed down from the beginning. But I heard an interesting story, saying that the Wuxin Pavilion was not a gambling house at first, it was secretly a place to collect money to help kill people, and everyone in the rivers and lakes knew it, but then the killers in the pavilion suddenly disappeared overnight, which is also too evil, some people say that they have suffered retribution. ”
Chu Shenxia couldn't help but interrupt him, "Where did you get all this news from?" ”
Steward Ma said vaguely proudly: "I also have some friends in the rivers and lakes. ”
"Friends?" Chu Shenxia's eyes jumped slightly, and he glanced at him keenly, Steward Ma caught this glance and said with a smile: "It is Mo Laoxi, the number one beggar gang in Dongjie, the first beggar gang is that he obtained the name of the gang, and Mo Laoxie is self-proclaimed." The whole begging territory of East Street belonged to him, and more than 300 beggars there listened to him, and he had been begging all his life, and he had been begging for almost forty years. ”
What kind of beggar gang, it's just a group of people called Hanako who are idle and panicked, occupy a territory and bento and think that they are tigers, what is Mo Lao Evil, it is clearly an old man called Hanako.
Chu Shenxia didn't speak again, just as Yuan Qing came out after changing her clothes, Lu Xun's clothes looked particularly crowded on her, and she couldn't help laughing: "You see that you are so much fatter than Lu Xun." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Qing turned his head and looked around his waist with difficulty, and said to himself: "I don't think it's much worse." ”
"What did the princess tell you to come to me?" Chu Shenxia originally thought that since the princess sent Yuan Qing, it must not be a big deal, so he didn't ask in a hurry.
Yuan Qing patted his head and exclaimed: "How did I forget the business, it's over, the princess will be angry now, Miss Ruoyu's illness is not good at all, even Doctor Sun is helpless, the princess is in a hurry to let me invite you." ”
"What do you want me to do? I don't know how to heal. ”
"Princess Xu thinks that the general is resourceful and will definitely be able to think of a different way." Yuan Qing touched his head.
"You can talk, it's been delayed for so long, the princess should be in a hurry, let's go." As soon as Chu Shenxia finished speaking, Lu Xun poked his head out, looking at Yuan Qingyi's reluctant appearance, it was really unbearable, so he said, "Lu Xun follow me to the palace." ”
Lu Xun smiled, his feet just stretched out, and then retracted, "I haven't said goodbye to my uncle yet, my uncle will be angry." ”
Chu Shenxia nodded, "Then it's up to you, Yuan Qing!" Stop tugging at the horns of Luxun's clothes, let's go! ”
When he arrived at the palace, Chu Shenxia didn't see Banrong, I heard that he went back to find her master, and he couldn't see any clues after looking at Ruoyu's bed for a long time, and when he looked back, he saw King Shun and Yongming looking at him with a blank face, tried his best to hold back a smile, and shook his head pretending to be serious, "I won't cure this disease." ”
The two were disappointed at the same time, Chu Shenxia got up and took a deep look at King Shun, King Shun bowed slightly and went out first, Chu Shenxia was about to follow, but Yongming stopped him.
"What does the princess command?" Chu Shenxia bowed.
"None."
Chu Shenxia looked up in surprise and looked at her clear eyes, and said sincerely: "The princess's complexion these days is much better than before. ”
"Really?" Yongming subconsciously touched his face, and the words of the thirteen princes flashed in his mind, and his heart was cold, and sadness crept up on his face again.
Chu Shenxia caught the slightest change in her expression and comforted: "Princess, the old man is like this, you don't have to look back." ”
Yongming was stunned, Xu felt that his comfort was a little distracted, shook his head and said, "Go ahead, I'm fine." ”
"Yes." Chu Shenxia slowly retreated after saluting, his footsteps suddenly stagnated, and he said softly: "The princess failed to send the letter out, and then the matter was revealed and the thirteen princes were imprisoned, in fact, the princess does not have to be so guilty, this bureau was arranged by the thirteen princes early in the morning, and King Qing's people were also ambushed there a long time ago." ”
Yongming got up suddenly, because the movement was too big, he almost overturned the medicine bowl in front of him, and looked at Chu Shenxia who was hanging his head with burning eyes, but in an instant, her clear eyes were full of tears.
The thirteenth prince, her most beloved little brother since childhood, actually used her like this and deceived her to the ground, and almost even affected her father and emperor who were far away in the Lu country. Chu Shenxia, the man who had just started her heart, actually said these things so lightly, without even taking into account half of her suffering.
Chu Shenxia didn't notice the princess's expression, and withdrew after finishing speaking.
King Shun seemed to be waiting a little impatiently, and kept pacing in front of the court, Chu Shenxia hurriedly greeted him, and bowed respectfully, before he straightened up slowly, and slowly repeated what the steward Ma told him while telling King Shun.
"Uh... Wuxin Pavilion, I've never heard of him having any entanglement with any of the princes. King Shun turned around and frowned in thought.
Chu Shenxia also wrinkled his eyebrows and said: "I have never heard a friend in the rivers and lakes mention the Wuxin Pavilion, but according to what the person said, the Wuxin Pavilion should have some status in the rivers and lakes, I am really surprised, surprised, I must go deep into the pavilion another day to find out." ”
"No need to change the day, I think it's just tonight." King Shun's face was extremely firm, he turned his head and stared at Chu Shenxia, seeing that he was hesitating on his forehead, he thought he didn't want to go, so he changed his words: "You are now a general of Xiaocai, and you must also have a lot of official duties, but I didn't think about it thoughtfully, if you don't have time, I'll go to explore it alone." ”
Chu Shenxia said with a smile: "Where is there any official business, I just feel that something is wrong, Your Highness doesn't need to be careful, at this time, it is very advantageous to take advantage of their unpreparedness to investigate." ”
"What's wrong?"
"I can't say it, but I vaguely feel that something is wrong."
King Shun patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "You are right to think deeply, but thinking too much is not necessarily a good thing, go and prepare, and see you under the third willow tree on the left along the river in the east of the city." ”
Chu Shenxia nodded, wanting to ask why it was the third willow tree, but he endured it and still didn't ask, and after saluting, he retreated, and the corner of his eyes drifted to Yongming at the door of the room in front of him, and he bowed his hand from afar, and then turned to leave.
Most of the time has passed, and when Chu Shenxia went out, it was already dark, and the wind blew on his face, which seemed to be a little wet, so he took an umbrella and walked slowly to the east of the city.
A bird that didn't know what it was flew in front of him all of a sudden, accompanied by an extremely ugly and sharp call, Chu Shenxia's brows involuntarily furrowed again, he was very uneasy all day today, and he always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing a willow tree by the weeping willow river in the distance, he quickened his pace and rushed over, but found that it was not a willow tree that followed closely behind, but a camphor tree, Chu Shenxia couldn't help but laugh and walked for a while before finding the second willow tree, and when he found the third willow tree, a figure was already pacing back and forth.
"Your Highness, I'm late." Chu Shenxia took two steps and made a step forward and saluted.
King Shun was as surprised as if he had seen a ghost, and when he saw the umbrella in his hand, his brows furrowed even tighter, and he reprimanded in a low voice: "Why are you dressed like this?" ”
Chu Shenxia wore a purple gown, coupled with the reddish wrench on his thumb, like a rich child with a lot of money. On the other hand, King Shun, dressed in a long robe and night clothes, his whole face was hidden in a hoodie, revealing only a pair of eyes glowing with a faint light.
Chu Shenxia couldn't help but smile when he saw King Shun's dress: "Why did Your Highness wrap yourself so tightly? We went to the gambling house to gamble for money, not to make trouble. His Royal Highness is murderous, and other gambling houses may not even let us in, and will blast us out. ”
King Shun was puzzled: "I know what you mean, disguise yourself as a gambler to make a secret visit, but after all, you can't find anything, it's better to go directly to the depths of Wuxin Pavilion to find out, it's much more concise and fast than talking outside." ”
Chu Shenxia shook his head and objected: "If Wuxin Pavilion is really as he said, it used to be a killer organization, then the guard and manpower must be unbreakable, and we rush in rashly, it is very easy to be discovered." ”
The two had different ideas, and immediately decided to divide the army into two ways, and they met here.
Many shops had already closed early by this point, and only the bright light of the Wuxin Pavilion could be heard ten paces away from the dark long street.
Chu Shenxia walked to the door and looked up at the lanterns hanging next to the door plaque, and the two lanterns were written respectively, I am for heaven and earth, and all things are born.
The eye-sighted guy at the door had already greeted him, and said with a smile: "This old man is here for the first time, right?" Hurry in, please come in, please come in. ”
Chu Shenxia smiled back faintly, and walked into this noisy place as soon as his feet were raised, and many people in the lobby were shirtless excitedly, stepped on the stool with one foot, and roared excitedly: "Big! Big! Big! ”
After opening it, it was really big, and he slammed the table excitedly and shouted, "I won!" With this shout, saliva splashed, and Chu Shenxia hurriedly took a step back, revealing a look of disdain.
The little guy on the side saw his disgusted expression, and hurriedly said: "There are all rough people here, go inside, I promise it's more interesting inside." ”
Chu Shenxia bowed silently, took out a handful of broken silver and handed it to him, he didn't show much joy, he just reached out and accepted it, and played with it in his hand for a while. Chu Shenxia glanced at him, he didn't pay attention to this bit of broken silver, presumably most of the people who came here were rich corrupt officials and wealthy businessmen.
Chu Shenxia took out a whole piece of silver bar again, the little guy's eyes were brighter than the light on the silver bar, Chu Shenxia turned his finger and said, "As long as you let me have fun, this is yours." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, dare to ask the master's surname...?" The little guy couldn't help nodding, and he didn't leave the silver bar for half a minute as he spoke.
"Chu."
"You Shi, downstairs Duan Chu Master!" The little guy yelled upstairs, and there was a response from upstairs, "Delle." ”
The little girl smiled at Chu Shenxia and made a gesture of invitation: "Master Chu, please upstairs." ”
