Chapter 6 Chasing the Moon
Chapter 6: Chasing the Moon
A horse galloped on the path leading to the capital. Although it was not hot, the knight was drenched, but he still did not stop. The steed was foaming at the mouth and ran forward.
With a scream, the horse finally couldn't support it, and the premise softened and threw it forward. The knight on the horse held the horse's head in his hand, and stood firmly on the side of the road with a slight force. Looking at the horse, whose abdomen was twitching, the knight muttered to himself and turned to walk forward.
A humble post station stands at the foot of the mountain. The knight was overjoyed and hurried over.
"Stop!" The guard in front of the door stopped him, "Who dares to trespass on the inn?" β
took out the jade pendant from his bosom and shook it in front of the guard: "Quickly lead me a good horse." The knight's face was grim.
The post man who was dazzled by the "Seven Princes" hurriedly pulled out a black horse from inside, and before he could react, a piece of silver was thrown into his arms, "Reward you." "The horses are gone.
When the setting sun stained the sky red, a long neighing of horses came from the gate of the palace. Without waiting for the servants to come forward to ask, Bo Yan, whose face was covered with sweat, rushed into the palace. The butler I happened to meet was about to drink, and was looked at by the cool eyes of the visitor, and his head suddenly cleared up. Although he was covered in mud and dust, the proud temperament on his body made him shocked. changed his smiling face: "This, well, this son, I don't know what to do?" β
Bo Yan glanced at him: "Lord Wang is in the house?" β
"In, in the "housekeeper laughs" I don't know the name of the child? β
took out the jade pendant, "Give this to Lord Wang, he will naturally understand." β
"Yes, yes," the butler glanced cautiously at the delicate jade pendant. His eyes couldn't help but light up, he secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said to the people around him: "Don't take the son down to rest!" Bo Yan was about to excuse himself, but he thought that he was covered in sweat and extremely indecent, so he no longer insisted.
Seeing Bo Yan walking away, the housekeeper took out the jade pendant from his sleeve, and was about to find someone to forge a piece of stealing beams and changing pillars, turning to the back, and shuddering, the words "Seven Princes" came into view. Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, he didn't dare to slack off and ran towards the study.
Lord Wang is painting. This Lord Wang loves Danqing, and he is also a strange person in the court. There is a laughing legend in the world that Ning loves a painting and does not enter a layer of officials, so you can know his surname. He was an upright and honest man, and he offended many people. But although the current emperor is annoyed with him, it is inconvenient to dismiss a minister. As a result, his position was always promoted and lowered in the Ministry of Rites, and he has not risen for more than 30 years. In the end, even his students were above him, and his heart was not very anxious. On the contrary, his students were always embarrassed, and after meeting, they saluted him first, and shouted: "Teacher, ashamed!"
"Sir, there is a young man who asks to see" The butler stood at the door of the study, respectfully.
"Who is so inappropriate?" Lord Wang was in a very good mood and didn't want to stop there: "Let him wait first." β
"It's just..." the butler hesitated, "he has the jade pendant of the Seventh Prince." The butler came to see the master's reaction. He thought in his heart that if that kid deceived people, he would have someone put him in prison so that he could be served.
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, the old man opened the door: "The jade pendant of the Seventh Prince? Where is it? The butler took out the jade pendant, and the old man snatched it and looked at it carefully, "Yes, it is the thing of the Seventh Prince." Whoever comes, take me to him. β
The fifty-year-old man said as he walked, leaving behind the housekeeper, who was more than twenty years younger.
"Sir, slow down, watch your step." The housekeeper wiped his sweat, not only shocked but also frightened, "It's good that I didn't do anything stupidγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»"
After Bo Yan took a bath, he waited anxiously in the room, and his expression became more and more uneasy because he didn't know whether the jade pendant worked.
The door was pushed open, "Is that you?" Lord Wang looked surprised. It turned out to be the boy who made trouble when Princess Mingyue got married. He was also present at the time, but it was not appropriate to show up. After observing quietly in secret, he saw that the Seventh Prince had a close relationship with him. probably guessed his intention, he was uneasy, but he didn't say: "Old man Wang Bin, I don't know what happened to the son." β
Bo Yan didn't know that Wang Bin had seen him that day, and he respectfully saluted: "My name is Bo Yan, and I want to ask Lord Wang to put me in the marriage team." β
"Do you want to see Princess Mingyue? Do you know that this is a great rebellion, and if it is used by someone with a heart, even the Seven Princes who help you will be implicated. The loss of official position is small, and the killing of the head is big. How do you ask the old man to help you? Although I admired the courage of this young man, I couldn't help but think about myself.
"Lord Wang, I swear to heaven that I will only look at her from afar, and never say a word to her. I beg you to do it. β
Bo Yan was about to kneel, but was picked up by Lord Wang, Wang Bin couldn't help but scold: "A man has gold under his knees, how can he kneel to people casually?" That's it, that's it, you are a person with a surname, the old man likes it, since the seven princes intercede for you, I will take a risk for you. β
"Thank you, Lord Wang." Thank you.
Holding the wolf in his hand, Wang Bin's face was a little gloomy: "Don't make more trouble when you go, let alone be impulsive, otherwise a big disaster will come." Bo Yan nodded slowly, looking at the ink that had not dried, he couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, why is he not in the palace for the Seventh Prince?" Wang Bin's face changed: "Don't ask more, you still don't know how to do this." β
After folding the oracle, Wang Bin returned the jade pendant to him: "You can also take this jade pendant, if your life is in danger, you may use it to save your life." β
At this time, it is already the lights of thousands of homes. Bo Yan led the two horses, left the palace, and ran towards the official road outside the city.
