Chapter 6: The Achievement of Nothingness
Shui Wujun can be regarded as leaving, and Bai Ya's face has also been pulled down - although he is not usually very good-looking. It's not sluggish, but at least it's taciturn. Qi Huan looked over and always felt that he was covered with a layer of black mist, and he could also produce dark clouds indoors.
He can't be blamed for this. After all, Shui Wujun's words made it difficult for Qi Huan to say anything.
His father was a smart man. Of course, a stupid person can't be a killer. Bai Ye has a way to do this, and he has also heard the rumors in the south, "my heart yearns for it". But he is not for his own happiness, but for the sake of others.
Unsubstantiated rumors count as lies. But Bai Ya's father's statement is not out of nowhere, but justified. In the past, when the southern kingdom was not called the "Nine Heavens Kingdom", it once paid tribute to the imperial court a kind of treasure, called the soul return incense. This thing has a strong smell, the fragrance is hundreds, take it and burn it, and it has the effect of removing saprophytic muscle and resurrecting the soul of the corpse that died within three days.
No one knows whether it is true or not, and no one has seen people who are really dead come back to life. It may also be that the imperial court was afraid of causing trouble, so it was locked in the treasury and did not use it. Bai Ya knew why he was running for this thing, and he completely understood. The only thing I can't figure out is that the object that can be used to rejuvenate the soul incense, if it dies early, let alone three days, three years is considered short.
The man became sullen, and Qi Huan didn't know what to comfort. He looked at the cold food, held it for a long time, and asked dryly:
"Why don't I go to Xinyue Palace with you?"
"What are you going to do?"
"It doesn't depend on your bad mood."
"It's the same whether you go or not."
"What's the matter, I'm comforting you, are you so ignorant."
"You don't necessarily get in."
"It's better than the palace, isn't it? Then I'll join in with you first, and if they stop me, I'll go back. β
ββ¦β¦ Whatever you want. β
Qi Huan felt sympathy from the bottom of his heart, but he also knew that Bai Ya must not like the sympathy of others. These two words may be a bit heavy, but they are similar anyway...... A certain level of understanding. Anyway, he is idle, and it is not bad to go with him to a rich place to take a look, and maybe he can have a royal dinner.
So in the afternoon of the same day, he set off with Bai Ya. Strange to say, the guards didn't stop him. You don't think you're a retinue of someone white, right? Inappropriate. Qi Huan secretly thought about it in his heart, but he didn't dare to show anything on his face, and he had to smile everywhere. It's just that the guards are all standing guard seriously, and the subordinates are busy working, and no one is paying attention to him. This deepened his secret thoughts, and his dissatisfaction escalated, and he decided to ask the surnamed Bai for an explanation after returning home.
"Don't look around." Bai Ya whispered, "I'll be an assassin and drag you out and spank in a while." β
"Hush. I didn't expect you to be quite disciplined at this time. β
No one spares anyone, but both sides are surprisingly honest. When they entered the Xinyue Palace, they all knelt down, saluted, and kowtowed according to the rules. The rules here are naturally not as strict as those in the palace, and you can stand up after saluting. It's just that you can't sit, and you still have to keep your distance from the palace master. That's fine.
At the top of the main palace, there are two maids standing on the left and the right. One is holding a spice box, adding ingredients to it at all times, and the other is fanning the palace master. But in fact, the latter is an ornament, because the palace master sits in a big tent, and this little wind can't blow in. The mesh of the tent was very dense, but it didn't look heavy, it was dark pink, and the outline of a human figure was faintly visible inside. The small form may also be far away, but they are more inclined to judge it as a young person. There are two "ears" on the figure, but in fact, there is a snail combed on the left and right.
There is a row of screens on each side. Bai Ya whispered to Qi Huan, there is someone behind the screen on the right. It made him look there unconsciously.
"You are Bai Shaoxia?"
Sure enough, it was the voice of a young woman.
"Female?"
Bai Ya suddenly turned around and muttered to Qi Huan. Qi Huan was shocked.
ββ¦β¦ That's when you! What a rebellion! Then he added, "And isn't that clear?" β
"How?" The man in the tent chuckled softly, "Shouldn't I be a woman?" Or should women not be teachers? It's better to inquire about how many palace masters in the twenty-eight palaces are not you men. β
"No, I didn't mean that......"
Qi Huan scolded him again: "No matter how bad it is, you can know that it is-"
"Who knows which word?"
"Do you have to carry this bar with me?"
The two didn't fight for long, and this place shouldn't be used to quarrel no matter how you think about it. It's already disrespectful to make a loud noise in the Xinyue Palace, and if you keep arguing, wait to be beaten. It's just that the palace master Yue Baizhi did not show any displeasure, but was interested.
"I heard that Bai Shaoxia has always been alone, why did he visit with his friends today?"
Okay, with vision, I like this woman. Qi Huan thought to himself.
"He owes me money and sells himself to pay off his debts."
"Oh...... There is such a thing. β
The surname is white! Youβ
Qi Huan swallowed two catties of coptis as if it was awkward. This's nonsense is also easy to come by. Seeing that Bai Ya's face did not change, he almost believed it.
"Then...... "Will he go with you to the Nine Heavens?" the young palace master asked again. β
"Yes, he said he was familiar with the place."
Qi Huan gave up resistance and became numb. Now, even if the white dog thing says that he is from the south, he doesn't think it's strange.
But to be honest, they have some prejudices in their hearts about this girl who is white and white. This stereotype was not brought to them by her, but the whole arrangement. Of course, leaving aside the issue of sexism, what can we say...... How could the court send a child to send them away? Bai Ya and Qi Huan are both young and vigorous, but they have to run for three anyway. But this little girl listened to the voice, looked at the outline, and said that she was less than twenty years old.
Is there such a shortage of people in the imperial court? I'm here if there's a shortage of people. Qi Huan thought crankily again. As if he could hear his heart, Bai Ya bumped him with his elbow. It may be true that he is acting a little distracted. That's right, it's hard to say, now those Jianghu warlocks are much more popular than those who practice martial arts, maybe this girl will also have some terrible tricks, can't be disrespectful, don't be careless.
"Your business, this palace knows the roots." Yue Baizhi really spoke like a little adult, "Permission to go to sea is naturally not a problem, if you want to bring a few relatives, friends, or entourage, it's up to you." Come, write down these words and seal them upon him, so that he may not be troubled by the other side of the pass. β
"Thank you, Master." Bai Ya gave a fist salute, and Qi Huan followed.
"Your father's matter, Yue deeply regrets. Don't worry, if you work for the imperial court, you will naturally not be treated badly. I have sent someone to prepare silver and two supplies, enough to support you for a day's journey at sea, and more than enough for another three days. This palace has calculated the time for you, and in the past seven days, the sea will be calm. If you encounter a violent storm, come back alive to settle accounts with this palace! β
You're so humorous.
"What else do you want, just ask. If you can do it, this palace will definitely satisfy you. When the law of the court is the law, your father will not trouble you, but we will still act justly. β
Bai Ya didn't speak, and Qi Huan didn't dare to say anything. Because he obviously felt that Bai Ya was trying his best to suppress something. It's about an emotion similar to anger, and the slightest stimulation can cause an uproar. First, I am really worried about his psychological emotions, and second, I am making trouble here, so don't worry about his head together......
"Nothing." Bai Ya finally spoke, "Bai thanked the Taishi." In addition, there is no need for anything, and it is prepared by yourself. β
"After all, the court is more thoughtful than you think, and things are not of the same grade. Do you want to send it? β
"No need."
Qi Huan secretly complained in his heart. This is a good opportunity to slander the emperor's grain, this stinky boy doesn't get oil and salt!
"If you think clearly, this is not for you."
Yue Baizhi's words changed, and the two of them said that it was not good. I just said to send it, and in a blink of an eye, I talked about the conditions, which is too fickle.
"If I can come back alive, you probably want to ask me for the secrets of the southern kingdom for the imperial court. They suddenly announced the severance of diplomatic relations, closed off the country, forged an enchantment, and sent those who were sent to them and never returned, so everyone was curious about what was going on there. Let the court put its heart in the stomach, what gold, silver jewelry, trickery and secret recipes, Bai Mou handed them all in, and there was no greed. β
"Oh, this palace likes sensible children like you!" She suddenly laughed, her voice was high-pitched, but she looked like an adult woman, "Actually, it doesn't hurt if you deduct something, you serve the court like this, so naturally you won't be treated badly." Even if you don't bring anything back and don't remember anything, as long as people step into my land alive, even if you don't have an arm or a leg, you will be prosperous and rich. β
"Thank you in advance. However, there is only one requirement under that. β
"Ah...... Is that so? I'll guess - you want to bring your father back for forgiveness. β
"Yes." Bai Ya generously admitted.
Yue Baizhi clapped her hands rhythmically, as if she was praising from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course! The crime of white sand, the court is not to blame in the past! I like a loyal person like you. β
"He was wronged, and the court wants to return his innocence."
"Mm-hmm, of course."
It's a bit perfunctory, and Qi Huan can hear it. She didn't care about Baisha's life or death at all, and there was a tone of "sculls are sinners, it's good to spare your life, and you want to waste resources".
Bai Ya is still quite sober.
"Empty words."
ββ¦β¦ Yes, you can. Yue Baizhi was silent for a short time, and said to her subordinates, "Write it down, write it down." β
At this time, Qi Huan smelled a hint of hopelessness. Of course, the court can not care - because he may not really come back. Who wouldn't open a short silver ticket? As long as there is a mouth, heaven and earth dare to write it for you.
"However, this palace still has a request for the imperial courtβor rather, an order."
"You speak."
After saying that, Yue Baizhi raised her hand and only slapped it three times. Now, the person behind the screen came over and stood in front of the main hall, facing the two of them. In between, there are three feet away.
"Gotta take her."
