Chapter 256: The Lord of the Heavenly Pivot (1)
"How much do you know about the medicine man?" I turned around and asked Mingyi.
"Go to Tianshu, Tianshu will give you the answers to all your questions." Mingyi continued to seduce me with his charming smile and elegant voice.
The moment I turned around, I was already trapped in a carefully woven net.
"If I go to Tianshu, how do you guarantee that after the defense of the country is over, I can still get out of the '** tent' safely?"
"If you ask so, then I'll treat you as if you've agreed." The corners of Mingyi's mouth raised, and he raised his sleeve to make a gesture to the sunspot who was following two feet away. The sunspot got the order, and he ran away without a shadow.
"You haven't answered my question yet." I asked.
"The freedom you want, the Lord of Heaven will give it to you." Mingyi hugged the chrysanthemum in his arms and walked past me towards the top of the grassy slope.
"Who is the Lord of the Heavenly Pivot?"
"The Lord of Heaven is the one we will meet in a moment."
"Burru?! The lord of the heavenly pivot is Berl! "In the autumn wind, I was stunned for a moment.
There are seven stars above the sky, such as a bucket, hanging in the north of Taiwei, the fourth hour of the Lord. The names of the seven stars are: Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Yaoguang. The Heavenly Cardinal is the head of the fight, for the sky.
On the roof of the Taishi Mansion, Yin Gao held his astrolabe and imprinted the names of the seven stars into my mind one by one. At that time, I laughed and joked, saying that they were just a spoon of the Emperor's spoon of wine. Yin Gao retorted to me with a solemn face, he said, it is not the Emperor's wine spoon, it is the Emperor's car. At the beginning of each year, the Emperor of Heaven will drive it from the east, through the vast starry sky, and the car will not stop, and there will be four seasons in the world.
So, I asked, what is the Heavenly Pivot? Yin Gao pointed to a star at the head of the bucket and said, Tianshu is the guiding lamp on the emperor's car, and when the night sky is clear, you can see its orange light.
Tianshu is the name of the stars, and the various departments of Tianshu are named after the eight trigrams. Zhao Ying believed in the art of astrology, and he even named his personal guards after the name of the star official. Mingyi is the main thing about Tianshu's separation and a close friend of Bolu. Together, it is difficult for me not to doubt the relationship between Tianshu and the Zhao family. And since then, whether it is the identity of the Beast-faced Man or Yu An's bizarre background, all the clues have made me more convinced of the inseparable relationship between Tianshu and the Zhao family.
Since Tianshu is the place where the Zhao clan gathers intelligence, amasses wealth, and trains retainers, who is the lord of Tianshu? Who would be the man who was wearing deerskin and sitting behind a beaded curtain? I once doubted Zhao Ying, I suspected Wuxian, but I never thought that he would be Bolu, the Beru who would raise tigers and pigs in the yard.
"The lord of Tianshu is really not the prime minister, but Boru?" I stared at Ming Yi and asked unwillingly.
"He has always been the lord of the Heavenly Pivot." Ming Yi lightly dropped a sentence and picked up the hem of his long and swayable clothes, turned and walked down the gentle slope covered with fine leaves.
"After so many years of thinking I was smart, it turns out that I am the stupidest and dumbest person in the world." I sneered and followed.
The autumn sun of the afternoon hung warmly on the clear sky, and the warm sunlight shrouded the fields covered with miscanthus grass with a faint layer of gold. Not far from us, in front of the vine-strewn stone house, a man dressed in white was tiptoeing, smiling, and waving his pale and thin arms at me.
Is he really the master of Tianshu? Is he still the Broux I remember? I haven't seen him for a year, has he recovered from his illness?
"Come into the house quicklyβdon't blow the windβ" I shouted at someone in the distance, and the cool lake breeze blew my voice away. The man in front of the stone house took two steps forward, jumping lightly and waving his hand harder.
He, or him......
I lowered my hands, and a smile crept up the corners of my mouth.
"Let's go, he's very thin from his illness, and he'll be blown away by the wind in a while." Mingyi nudged me behind my back, and rushed towards Beru with the wild chrysanthemum in his arms.
"Wait for me!" I followed in Mingyi's footsteps and hurried all the way to Boru.
"You shouldn't have come out to blow the wind." I gasped and looked at the thin and handsome man in front of me.
"I know." Buru smiled, a strange red tide on his high raised cheekbones. He's really so skinny, and he's even worse now than he was when I first met him in the Qin Kingdom.
"It's been more than a year, and your illness hasn't healed yet?" I gasped for breath and reached out to catch Boru's hand.
Buru smiled and flipped the back of his hand and grabbed my hand: "I'm fine, old problem, I'm used to it." Quick, let's get inside! The sunspot has already chopped wood to boil water, and I have left a box of Fangdi from Shu here, waiting for you to come and cook it for me to drink one day! Beru pulled me into the house, and I followed him and asked, "Wait for me?" You already knew I lived here? β
"We still know a lot!" Mingyi passed by me, turned his head sideways and whispered in my ear, "Look, I said it a long time ago, with Tianshu you can know anything you want to know......"
"Mingyi!" Beru stared at Mingyi with wide eyes, Mingyi raised an eyebrow, smiled and turned his head to insert the bouquet in his arms into an open jug on the wall.
"Ah Shi, the matter of Tianshu...... Did he tell you all? Buru turned to look at me with an apologetic smile on his face.
I nodded.
"You can't blame me for talking too much, it's too tiring to talk to this girl, if I don't tell her in advance, how can you have the good energy to spend with her." Mingyi helped Beru to sit down on the low table by the window, and added two new pieces of charcoal to the small round furnace beside Beru with a cloth pad, "Anyway, she has promised me to return to Tianshu just now, so you don't have to bother to say anything more to her now." Talking too much will eventually hurt your vitality. β
"Ah Shi, I'm sorry, he's ......" Bo Lu was Ming Yi said, and the red tide on his cheeks became even thicker.
"Mingyi is right." I took Boru's words and said with a smile, "I'm a heavy and difficult person, if the matter of Tianshu were replaced by you, I would definitely lose half my life." However, I really didn't expect that the person sitting behind the beaded curtain that day would be you. β
"I'm sorry, I kept Tianshu a secret from you before." Beruw looked at me apologetically.
"Heh, I accept this apology." I pouted and laughed at myself, "When I advised you to raise pigs and tigers as well as raise soldiers, you must have laughed at me in your heart, right?" Just me, a little girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, still dares to say that I am ashamed to ask the lord of Tianshu to raise a few more warriors to protect herself. β
"No, I'm not laughing at you." Boru smiled and shook his head, his warm gaze crossed my eyes and landed gently on the wooden flute above my head, "Think about how old you were then, a girl who didn't reach the end of the day, running around every day with a hair and shirtless. But such an old child understands his father's hard work better than me. Raising pigs and tigers is not as good as raising soldiers. Tianshu is the 'scholar' raised by my father for my uncompetitive son. It's a pity that no matter how good a craftsman is, he can't carve a piece of rotten wood. For so many years, I lost Tianshu to Wuyin and Mingyi, and I lost all the errands assigned by my father to Hongyun'er, and I raised a yard of tigers and guinea pigs with peace of mind. A little girl knows what I don't. The one who should be laughed at is me. Beru kept smiling when he saw me, but when he finished his last sentence, I saw a trace of bitterness in his smile, "Ah Shi, do you say that there is a worse son and worse brother in this world than me?" β
"You've done a great job," I said pleadingly...... looking into Berru's eyes, "you're the best son and the best brother in the world." If it weren't for you, even if the little man slave back then, he wouldn't be able to become today's Zhao Wuxian even if he survived. It was you who made him, and he will protect your family for the prime minister and for you. β
"Then will you protect him for me?" Bru's cold fingers lightly covered the back of my hand.
My heart trembled, and I pulled my hand out of his hand: "He may not need someone else's protection. Some people are born destined to stand alone in the highest and coldest places, and the existence of others may be a burden to him. β
"That's what you think?" Beru was stunned when he heard this.
"Excuses." Ming Yi, who had been sitting on the side for a long time and had not spoken for a long time, glanced at me coldly and said, "In the end, it's not because of that General Wu of the Qin State. β
"That's what he told you? Hmph, he would actually believe such a lie. My heart was sour, but my face deliberately put on a look of anger and disdain, "This matter has nothing to do with the general." I left, just to make things easier. In fact, he is indeed doing well now, and everything is going well in the Zhao family. β
"Ashi, you are wrong, he is having a bad time, because you abandoned him when he was the happiest, you abandoned him when he was the weakest and most defenseless. He hates you so much now, he hates you because Wu Feng abandoned him. Beru frowned and sighed.
"I didn't forsake him, he forsaken me! I waited for him in Song for more than 200 days, and he never came to me. "The grievances and resentments buried deep in my heart made me can't help but yell at Berru.
"He went! Ah Shi, he went to look for you. β
"Yes, here he is, and with his bride he emptied my cellar overnight, and then threw me a box of cold Jewels."
"You are wrong, he went to Song Kingdom to look for you not long after he returned to Xinjiang City. He knows that you are the wine lady of the Fusu Pavilion, and he knows that you live in the wine garden behind the pavilion. He guarded you for half a month in the Song Kingdom, and he even killed several men who tried to bully you over the wall at night. For more than two hundred nights, have you never asked yourself why a woman like you lives alone in a wine garden, and yet a drunkard never breaks into your door and climbs into your bed? β
"She may think that her good brother Chen Yi is protecting her!" Mingyi took out a wine jug and threw a wooden cup in my hand, "I don't need to cook anything today, drink a bar, I think it's more appropriate to drink at this time." β
