At night, I sat on the roof of the pavilion and looked at the moon in the sky. Ah Niang once lied to me that this Jingyang City was the place where I was born, and now I have gone around a big circle of ghosts and gods to come here, and I am somewhat lamented by the mystery of fate.

"Have you finished feeding the horses?" I heard a noise behind me, and I thought it was Kuroko who had returned from feeding the horses.

"Uh- I didn't feed the horses."

I turned my head and saw the man in black standing behind me.

I got up to salute, but he waved his hand and smiled, "Sit down, be careful of falling." ”

"Is the noble man better?" I asked.

"I'm coming up here to thank the little boy. Thanks to your medicine, I didn't suffer any sin along the way. The man in black sat down beside me with his hand on the green tile.

"Fortunately, the noble man is fine, otherwise the wizard would definitely not be able to spare me."

"Mingyi loves to make a fuss, you don't pay attention to him. Little boy, how are your eyes different from those in the daytime? The man in black pointed to my eyes and asked curiously.

"I was born like this, and if a noble person thinks it is strange, I will turn my face away." I instantly smiled and turned my face to the side.

"Don't worry, little boy! Blue eyes under the moon are not a bad thing. The man smiled softly and poked his head in front of me like a child, "Xiao Tong, have you heard that there is a Wengong in our Jin Kingdom?" ”

"Of course I've heard of it, he is a wise king who governed the Jin Kingdom and dominated the world two hundred years ago."

"Yes, that's him. Legend has it that Gong Wen's biological mother is the daughter of the fox clan, and she has a pair of blue eyes under the moon like you. It is Gong Wen himself, although his name is Chong'er, but in fact he is a person with heavy pupils. ”

"Heavy pupils?"

"Yes, it's two pupils in one eyeball. Legend has it that such a person is destined to be able to calm the chaos and peace of the people and prosper the country. ”

"How can there be two pupils in one eyeball? Noble nonsense! Fun with my little boy! ”

"Don't you believe it? Two hundred years ago, Mu Gong of your Qin State believed it. The man in black smiled proudly, reached out and picked up a string of pendants around his waist, held two of the long jade pendants in his hand and knocked them gently, and then sang with the sound of the white jade, "Yi Yi Hengshan, Baluan Qiang Qiang, the grandson of the fox family, in the other place, its yang heavy pupils, rejuvenating the country and rejuvenating the country......"

"What kind of tune is the noble man singing, why have I never heard it?"

"This is the 'Bamboo Book Ballad' sung to Qin Mugong two hundred years ago, Qin Mugong's wife, Jin Wengong's sister Bo Ji. This ballad is said to have been born from the skin of a green bamboo, and was made for the gods of heaven only to quell the Jin Kingdom's 'Liji Rebellion' (1). It was because of listening to this 'Bamboo Book Ballad' that Qin Mugong believed that Duke Wen was the king of my Jin Kingdom, so he sent troops to help him return to the country and succeed him as the monarch to quell the chaos and calm the people. ”

"It turns out that there are such strange things as green bamboo characters in this world, and the nobles know a lot." I listened to it with relish and couldn't help but praise it.

When the man saw me praising him, he became more and more proud. He put down the jade pendant in his hand, leaned into my ear and said mysteriously: "The stranger is still to come!" More than ten years ago, when the Fan clan and the Zhongxing clan of the Jin Kingdom were in turmoil, it is said that in front of the tomb of the ancestor of the fox clan, there was a bamboo tree next to the green bamboo that originally had the 'bamboo book ballad'. There are also patterns on the bamboo body that resemble handwriting. The Xianyu people who guarded the tomb then made up a new 'Bamboo Book Ballad'. It's a pity that Xianyu Kingdom was later destroyed by the Zhao family, and the half of the 'Bamboo Book Ballad' was lost. ”

The man said that there was a look of regret on his face at this time, so I quipped: "Don't be afraid of losing it, last time I gave birth to a grandson, this time I must have given birth to a daughter!" ”

"Hahaha", the man heard me say this, and said with a smile: "According to what you say, the last time the country was rejuvenated, isn't it going to die this time?" ”

"Wow! How can there be such a noble person in the world who speaks without taboos? The noble man is a Jin person, those two words can not be said! "I deliberately kept a straight face.

"Hahaha, the boy is very right! Nonsense, nonsense. The man covered his mouth and looked at me with a smile.

I couldn't hold back my face and laughed.

"Alright, it's time for me to go down too. If you stay for a long time, I'm afraid I'll faint again. The man in black stood up with a smile and clapped his hands.

"How are you going to go down?" I saw that he was swaying, for fear that he would accidentally fall off the roof.

"I'll just climb down slowly......"

Before the man in black could speak, he could only hear Ming Yi's helpless voice from under the eaves: "You guys get him down for me." ”

"Mingyi, it's okay, I'll do it." The man in black shouted under the eaves and lifted his hem excitedly, but before he could take a step, two Tsing Yi guards jumped onto the roof and lifted him up one by one.

"I just climbed up on my own, don't, I'm ......" The two guards completely ignored the man's struggle, and jumped off without saying a word.

The Ballad of Bamboo Books? I smiled, and intuitively felt that this frail man was an interesting person.

In the early morning of the second day, our convoy left Jingyang City and continued westward. In this way, he went backwards for more than half a month, and finally arrived in Yongcheng at the beginning of May and lived in a pavilion near the Qin Palace.

"Just now I heard someone downstairs say that all the envoys who have come to congratulate them live here. Sorcerer, which country are we from this time? After I put Mingyi's baggage away, I asked casually.

"Jin Kingdom." Ming Yi took a sip of water, "I've been waiting for you to ask this question all the way, and I didn't ask until now, Xiao'er's concentration is really good." ”

"Lao Wushi is a big driver, and he also asked Tianshu to send so many female music, which Guiqing has such a big hand?" I walked over to the desk and sat down on my knees and poured myself a glass of water.

"I came this time because I owed someone a favor back then, and I had nothing to do with Tianshu." Mingyi raised his eyelids and glanced at me, and put down the water glass in his hand.

"The sorcerer and the Zhao clan of the Jin Kingdom are old acquaintances?"

"You guess?"

"It's not. The noble man we met on the road said that he was a Jin person, and the Peiyu on his body was vaguely engraved with the word Zhao. ”

"The little Qin girl actually knows the Jin script." Ming Yi glanced at me sideways, and said, "This time, you and I are the sorcerers of the Zhao family's banquet, and the female music is a congratulatory gift that the Zhao family bought from Tianshu." ”

Gong and Shang are Tianshu's two best female musicians at present, and they were given to Gongzili together this time, which shows Tianshu's importance to Gongzili. It's just that I don't know if behind this generous gift, it was Tianshu or the Zhao family who had the idea of beating Gongzi.

"After the feast, will the wizards keep their promise and let me go?"

"Naturally, if you want to stay in the Qin State." Mingyi's eyes flashed, and he looked at me with a smile.

"What do you mean?" I raised an eyebrow in question.

"If you don't want to stay in the Qin Kingdom, you can also go back to Tianshu with me, or go anywhere you want." Ming Yi tilted his head, stretched out two jade-like fingers, and walked on the desk.

I cleared my throat and said in a deep voice, "Wizards don't break their promises. ”

"Mingyi asks himself and never breaks his word." He looked sideways at me and replied coldly.

I curtsied, put on my mask again, and withdrew from Mingyi's room.

Maybe it's really because I'm thinking too much, and not everything has another conspiracy behind it.

I sighed and prepared to go back to my room, but when I turned around, I bumped into a hard chest.

"Bold!" I was pulled back by the neck, and the next moment five or six swords were all on my shoulder.

"Take it! You're scared of him. A man in a black gauze hat stopped the guard with his sword drawn, and he walked up to me and asked softly, "Are you the boy of the sorcerer Mingyi?" ”

At the sound of this voice, my heart suddenly shrank.

Childe Leigh! How could he be here?!

I took a deep breath and nodded.

"It's not a sacrifice now, what kind of mask to wear, don't take it off soon!" Fu Shu reached out and grabbed the mask from my face.

Frightened, I pressed my mask with my hand, and my heart jumped to my throat with a thud.

"Did the boy disturb you?" At the critical moment, Mingyi opened the door.

"Fu Shu!" Gongzi Li glanced at his subordinates, and they all collected their swords and retreated behind them.

"Childe, please! Zhao Shizi should also be almost there. Mingyi let Gongzili in, waved at me, and I bowed and hurriedly fled back to my room.

Thankfully, it wasn't discovered......

I sat with my heart in my mouth for a long time, and between my breath and breath, I seemed to be able to smell the familiar bluegrass fragrance on Gongzili's body.

Ming Yi said that Gongzi Li was coming to see Zhao Shizi, but he didn't expect that the sick man in black was actually the eldest son of Zhao Ying, the secretary of the Jin Kingdom, and the son of the Zhao family, Beru. The Zhao family of the Jin State and the Gong clan of the Qin State are both surnamed Ying, and they are in the same vein. Now that Gongzi Li is getting married, it is reasonable for the Zhao family to send people to congratulate him, but it is a little puzzling for Gongzi Li to sneak into the pavilion in disguise at this time.

Could it be that in addition to congratulating the wedding, there is another plan between the Zhao family and Gongzili?
