Chapter 248: Mountain Rain is Coming
Ruoyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief, listening to what he said was similar to what she knew, although she was a little disappointed, she picked up the books on the ground and asked carefully, "Then I'll go back and study?" Can I take it away? ”
"Yes, you can." Cheng Qingxuan nodded happily, "There are not many books in the medicine house, and the only ones worth reading are this book and the one that records the puppetry, which are all rubbings." ”
Ruoyun's face immediately changed when she heard this, and her movements to collect the book stiffened suddenly, and she said in shock and urgency: "Puppet technique?!" In case it is stolen, wouldn't it be a huge loss?! ”
"No, even if it is stolen, the man will not be able to read it." Cheng Qingxuan closed his eyes slightly, and there seemed to be disdain in his eyes, "This rubbing is recorded as it is, and the font used is the evolved font thousands of years ago, and Xuan Mo and I have to understand it after completing the scripture exam, He Yuanming is not the lord and patriarch in the end, and he has never been exposed to such words, at best, he accidentally stumbled into the puppet technique that can understand half of it." ”
"I see." Ruoyun relieved her mind at this time, no wonder the puppet was always not powerful enough, it turned out that it was not complete at all, but she still had doubts in her heart, took his hand and asked, "Then you promise that the medicinal techniques recorded in this book will not affect you." ”
"Hmm." He nodded without hesitation, pulled his cloak from under his book, dusted it gently, and draped it over her.
Ruoyun followed the lamp he was carrying, and he took his hand and walked out slowly, relieved that all that lingered in his mind was the sentence "It may be okay to block a fatal injury", looking at his quiet and calm smile, holding his fingers unconsciously tightened and tightened.
What Cheng Qingxuan said is true, even if this rubbing is stolen, it is useless. Ruoyun didn't even understand a word after flipping through the book for a few days, and there were only a few simple pictures that couldn't explain the problem at all, so let's say there should be such a thing.
The suspension bridge is almost complete. Bai Ze also rarely showed up, the number of people in the villa seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and Cheng Qingxuan focused on Yun Pavilion and rarely accompanied him. Ruoyun sniffed the tense atmosphere everywhere, sometimes looking far away and sometimes lying quietly, and walked around Longhua Villa by the way.
There were only a few new pavilions, each with two floors built around the Cloud Pavilion, and the demolished pavilions and houses presumably made way for these buildings. But the mist that permeated the mountains was gone, and the smoky pavilions became solemn. The Penglai Pavilion where he once lived was abandoned after only half a year, and the road to the high place was blocked by iron cables. The cornices appear and disappear in the weeping branches of the cypress.
It was a dark day, the mountains were full of dead leaves, the waterfalls were as dry as silver threads, and Ruoyun looked at the light of the torches patrolling back and forth under the mountain. Gradually a mist rises from the mountains and ravines. The view was gradually blocked, and the suspension bridge was also submerged in white smoke, and snow fell again in the dark and yellowish sky.
"Your Majesty! Master Gu is gone! The soldiers sent to summon made a quick report, and knelt down in front of the big tent in a panic, their chests rising and falling, and their mouths kept spitting white mist for a moment.
Rong Jinhuan was dressed in a simple gray-brown shirt, sitting on the chair in the middle to wipe the sword in his hand, hearing that the phoenix's eyes were slightly restrained and murderous, looking at the unmelted sporadic snowflakes on the shoulder armor of the kneeling person. Coldly asked, "How did you not see it?" ”
"Back to ...... Back to the emperor, Lord Gu sent a letter to Prince Rong's army. In the afternoon, after pacing and meditating by the lake, he disappeared after a cup of tea, and there were no other casualties. The little soldier stood under the sharp gaze of the Son of Heaven, sweating like rain.
Rong Jinhuan only noticed the abnormality for a moment, and asked again: "Can someone come to make a request?" ”
"No, I didn't." The soldier swallowed his saliva and told the truth.
"I know, go down." Rong Jinhuan's eyebrows stretched slightly, and he waved his hand.
The little soldier retreated as if he was about to be amnesty, but Lord Wang on the side couldn't sit still, and immediately got up and hugged his fists and said, "Your Majesty, was Gu Yinzhao robbed or escaped?" This sent a letter to Prince Rong's army......"
"I ordered it." Rong Jinhuan swept his eyes coldly, making his suspicions swallow vividly.
"It seems that there are people who don't want him to get in the way, and if he doesn't have to worry about his life, he will show up, and if he has been killed now, it will be futile to worry." Rong Jinhuan threw away the silk in his hand without hurry, hooked his lips and sneered under pondering, "Those who can sneak into the army, don't think about it, they are also people with extremely high martial arts, just take him away and don't take the opportunity to blackmail one or two, I am surprised that those kings with different surnames will do such a thing." ”
The several generals sitting around looked at each other, but no one answered, and they all looked at the emperor who was jade and golden, but ignored Gu Yinzhao.
Rong Jinhuan looked at them one by one, slammed his sword into the sheath, got up and ordered: "Spread my will, take advantage of the fact that Rui Xuefang has not accumulated a thick accumulation, and immediately march the whole army towards the mountains." ”
"Your Majesty!" An elderly lieutenant clenched his fists at this time and pleaded, "The climate in the mountains is changeable, and there is fog rising, it is not a good opportunity for the emperor to enter the mountain at this time, why don't you wait for a while?" ”
"Oh?" Rong Jinhuan seemed to expect someone to admonish, so he stepped forward and handed the hilt of the sword to his throat, and snorted, "Since I am the Son of Heaven, I should have God's blessing, since you don't want to go, stay here." ”
"Your Majesty?!" This time, the remaining generals stood up one after another and exclaimed in unison.
"I've made up my mind." Rong Jinhuan laughed out loud, raised his hand and raised the big coat embroidered with a coiled dragon, and walked out.
The silence in the big tent was like death, and only Lord Wang was still sitting upright, bowing his head in deep thought.
The ground moved more than once or twice, and the rumors of the anger of the heavens and the resentment of the people spread like the first emperor general, if the emperor can take the lower Longhua Villa is in line with the will of heaven, can make the rumors self-defeating, the heavy snow in the mountains and the fog rises, if the emperor wins, the people on standby under the mountain only know that this move is from the hands of the emperor and the son of heaven rather than by force, but unfortunately the stakes are too big.
Lord Wang shook his head and sighed, cleared his throat, and said to a group of indignant and secretly sighed: "Since the emperor has a life, we will wait here - just guard the bridge." ”
Ruoyun sat on a soft chair drinking hot tea, her eyes had been covered by fog for a long time, and she felt cold all around her when she was drowsy, she wrapped her cloak and wanted to go back to the house, and accidentally saw a little light gathering at one end of the suspension bridge, and some of them came along the bridge in the direction of the villa!
Her heart sank, and she hurriedly got up and hurried back to the hall to ask, but the maid waiting in front of the hall told her that the lord had gone to the Cloud Pavilion early in the morning, and he should still be there at this time.
Ruoyun ordered people to continue waiting, and she immediately went to the Cloud Pavilion, the lamp hanging under the corridor of the main hall was unusually bright in the gloomy sky, she listened to her footsteps echoing on the corridor, and saw that there was no one who lit the lamp at the end, and she knew that the person here had been evacuated, and the lamp that made the lamp shine must be something like the night pearl that Bai Ze held at that time.
She sneered at this kind of profligacy, so as to relieve the panic in her heart, Rong Jinhuan has moved and Bai Ze has not appeared, I don't know how Qingxuan will respond, the faster the pace is in the midst of the chaos of thoughts, and there is a faint movement from time to time.
"You're so slow." The silver bell-like voice came with complaints, and Cheng Qingwen was dressed in a blue outfit in front of the Cloud Pavilion, watching her pant up the steps.
"You know I'm coming?" Ruoyun reached out to dust off the snow on her shoulders, slightly puzzled.
"Of course, you'll have to see it sooner or later." Cheng Qingwen pursed her lips and pointed inside, trying her best to avoid mentioning her poisoning, pretending that she had no time to take care of it.
Although Ruoyun was suspicious, the governor immediately reminded, "The emperor's men and horses are coming here." ”
"You know, you can get in." Cheng Qingwen pulled the copper ring in front of the cloud pavilion door and raised her hand to push her inside.
Ruoyun stumbled, finally stood firm, the heavy door of the cloud pavilion closed behind him, a dazzling light into the eyes, only to see the lanterns hanging, spiraling up, the cloud pavilion is as high and hollow as the star pavilion, the difference is that the organs here are all over the place, all sides and four pillars, in the middle of the ground there is a sinking large disc slowly turning, and the gear of the mechanism connected with it is also moving accordingly.
Cheng Qingxuan was standing on the disc, his palm extended between the four walls and four pillars and pressed the mechanism alternately, only when he went to the edge of the disc and pressed it to the parts decorated with moire did the hinges tighten, the mechanism moved and the ground trembled, and the ground pillar that was close to it undulated, he moved quickly and focusedly, and flew to the other end without waiting for the disc to tilt, until the circumference was flat and returned to the center.
Ruoyun looked at this qiē dumbfounded, and when he closed his eyes and fell in front of her, she was surprised to find that he was wearing an ink color today, with gold threads and auspicious clouds intertwined on the cuffs and neckline, and the jade on the waist was glossy and delicately flowed, and the black hair was bound by wings and gold ornaments, half closed and half draped behind the head, and the hair ornaments extended to the temples, and the inlaid red stones were bright and dripping, just because she didn't get up early and never saw it.
Ruoyun was stunned and looked at the handsome and dazzling person in front of her and stretched out his hand to her, and suddenly remembered that the clothes and crowns of thousands of years ago seemed to be respected by this, and the Fusu people regarded themselves very highly, and they were really disgusted with the world, and gave up the imperial power to be like grass shoes.
She instinctively took half a step back and hugged into her arms, touching the familiar breath and warmth, the idea of getting out of a prison and entering a cage in her heart was fleeting, he was different from others, he looked up to heaven and earth and never wanted to be bound to her by fame and fortune, and never expected her to contribute a meager force, it was precisely because of this that she felt loved by him wholeheartedly, she did not regret stopping by his side, and she tried her best to do everything she could.
"It seems that Bai Ze's persuasion has not worked, and you refuse to leave so far." Cheng Qingxuan gently hugged her shoulder, and although her voice was regretful, she was not anxious.
"Whether it's fog or snow, do you really know that the emperor will act as soon as the sky changes?" She was a little relieved, Cheng Qingxuan knew that Bai Ze could also know, and now she should go to Qianshan.
"Yes, it's still too late for you to leave." He spoke softly, giving her the last choice, his voice steady as usual, the words striking at her heart, making her both emotional and unusually firm.
"No, I'm going to be with you." Ruoyun shook her head, her cheeks were slightly red, and she raised her eyes and smiled, "This life will never be separated, you said it." (To be continued......)
