37. The carpenter loses

"You shouldn't compare your tall man to those people. "Fresh in Yan Zhengse.

"Okay, well, please forgive my little brother for his missteps. ”

As they spoke, they had come to the foot of the hill and returned to the grove where the horses were tied to each other.

Coming around from the west side of the main peak, I found that the sky was about to brighten, and the mountains in the east showed a touch of white and red morning light.

These horses are all horses from the green mountains of the Western Regions, and their posture is arrogant. But as soon as Xian Yuyan approached them, he retracted his temperament and shook his tail obediently.

Yu Nuohai smiled, since he is Guo Xuan's good friend, he naturally has something extraordinary.

The two took off their night clothes and changed into official uniforms. After choosing the horses he liked, he connected the rest end to end and led them back to Chang'an.

On the way, Yu Nuohai briefly told Xian Yuyan about the situation in the underground palace, and when he mentioned the wooden box, he couldn't help but ask if he knew a familiar mechanic, so he could open the box and take out the contents of the box.

"Tsk, didn't your prosecutor's office snared strange people from all over the world and couldn't open it?"

"Didn't you say it earlier, you can't let them know about this, you didn't mean to test me, did you?"

"No, no, I just forgot about it for a while. ”

Yu Nuohai thought about it again and simply took off the package and handed it to Xian Yuyan, "It's not convenient for me to carry these things with me, you take them first, and after tonight, we will go to Guangping Wang's house to meet." In addition to the wooden box, there are also several volumes of maps, which I briefly looked at, and they are the blueprints of Zhaoling. ”

"Ah? After Chang'an City was breached by An Lushan, these things were lost, and it turned out that this gang of thieves stole them. ”

Of course, Xian Yuyan would not have known that these maps were from the Prosecutor's Office.

However, this also reminded Yu Nuohai that it seems that Li Fuguo has collected all kinds of intelligence information and rare treasures over the years, and I am afraid that many of these objects are related to the secrets and national fortunes of the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, An Lushan's rebellion has damaged the Tang Dynasty too seriously, and people's hearts have become sinister. ”

"I'm going to Chang'an City soon, you and I will go in separately?" Xian Yuyan looked at Yu Nuohai, although everyone was nominally doing things for the imperial court, and they all had secrets in their hearts.

"Good. It's just that these horses can't be kept, and they can all be left outside the city for a while, and whoever leads them to use them is fine. It's just a pity that these good horses don't know which family they will fall to. ”

Yu Nuohai touched the mane of the horse, these horses are indeed good horses, but they have not yet reached the point of exposing themselves for them.

"Good. ”

The old horse knows the way, the master is dead, and it is reasonable for him to run back. So by doing so, it won't expose too much.

When the two returned to Chang'an, the city gate was wide open. Outside the city gate, many merchants from the Western Regions gathered, and groups of camels carrying various goods were entering the city one after another.

The generals guarding the gate naturally recognized the two adults, one after the other, and quickly entered the city and returned to their respective mansions.

Xian Yuyan returned home and changed her clothes, then went to Zuo Jin Wuwei's mansion, interrogated a few words about the situation last night, closed her eyes and recuperated.

Originally, I made an appointment to go to Guangping Wangfu in the evening, but who knew that at noon, Liu Feiyu suddenly rushed over and said that the prince had been invited.

Xian Yuyan was stunned.

What's the matter? Someone dug up his ancestral grave, and he knew it so quickly, could it be that Taizong dreamed of him.

"General Xianyu, the prince invites you to come over to the house. "Liu Feiyu is very polite.

Xian Yuyan has already been promoted to General Jin Wuwei since the end of the Nanshan War, and his official position is higher than that of Liu Feiqi, but Liu Feiyu is the close guard commander of the prince, and his future is immeasurable.

"General Liu is polite, hehe, hehe, is your prince looking for me?"

"Isn't my lord looking for you?" Liu Feiyu replied with a smile when he heard him say this.

"Is the Yu Nuohai in the Prosecutor's Hall also gone?" Xian Yuyan muttered quietly as she leaned close to Liu Feiping's ear.

Liu Feiyu nodded.

This kid, why did he suddenly change his hexagram. Xian Yuyan pondered, and suddenly remembered the matter of the machine box, so he said: "I'm afraid we have to find someone to come and go together." ”

"This—" Liu Feiyu was a little embarrassed.

Originally, the King of Guangping and the people in the prosecutor's hall rarely moved. Early this morning, after Liu Feiyu delivered the secret letter instructed by the prince, Yu Nuohai came to see the prince with the secret letter at noon. However, he also came in disguise, but he only saw the prince, and after entering the secret room, he took off the human skin mask.

Liu Feiyu really didn't expect that the person the prince was looking for turned out to be him.

"But there is no way, there is something here that is to be handed over to the prince, and you have to find another person to open it. ”

Liu Feiyu pondered for a moment, although he understood what was going on for a while, and finally nodded and agreed.

He had dealt with Xian Yuyan because of the increase in the population of the palace maids and servants, and knew that he was a trustworthy person.

In fact, the person Xian Yuyan is looking for is also very easy to find, that is, the public who will be the prisoner, and he can be regarded as Guo Yu's friend. once gave Guo Yu a wooden bird, which can fly more than 1,000 steps after opening the mechanism.

Because of the wooden box, Xian Yuyan remembered him for a while. Perhaps, with his skills, he might be able to open the box.

The male loses the spirit, and it is also easy to find. He repaired a large hall in the imperial city, found his prefect and talked a few words, and then let them go with them.

Because it was not invited by the prince, Xian Yuyan accompanied Gong Yiling to wait outside the palace gate for a while.

When Yu Nuohai heard that it was a carpenter surnamed Gongyi, he naturally understood what was going on, and immediately suggested that the prince let him in. Then he put on his mask again.

The prince took Yu Nuohai to the conference hall, and then called Xian Yuyan and Gong Yiling to come in.

The gift is over.

Xian Yuyan immediately took out the object behind him and presented it to the table beside King Guangping.

Just now, Yu Nuohai had already told the prince about Zhaoling last night, and the prince already knew about the map and the wooden box.

It's just that he hid the fact that he was following Helan Shou, and only said that he accidentally ran into a group of thieves plotting, so he invited Xian Yuyan to break the thieves.

King Guangping took out the wooden box and looked at it, it was made of high-quality thousand-year-old sandalwood, and the texture was very beautiful. I tapped it with my fingers, and the wood was very hard.

"You can't even see a crack in this box, can you open it?"

Immediately put the wooden box on the table, and Liu Feiyu took it and handed it to the Gong Lost Spirit.

Gong Yiling held it in his arms, looked at it repeatedly, and smiled proudly, "Lord Wang, will you open it now?"

When a few people heard it, what did they mean? I looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see where the bracket of this box was, and you said that you could open it when you opened it?

When the king of Guangping heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and said in his heart that you, a little-known little carpenter, dare to act in front of this king, and immediately smiled and said, "Gong Yi Ling, listen to the meaning of your words, is your ability not small? ”

Gong Lost Ling asked Liu Feiping to help find a Maza.

Mazha was originally a nomadic seat, which was easy to carry after folding, and later began to spread in the Han military camp.

The male spirit unfolded the horse and put it upside down, and put the wooden box on the shelf, so that all six sides of the wooden box could be exposed at the same time.

With his left hand on top and his right hand on the bottom, he touched the patterns on the top and bottom of the wooden box, and gently twisted and groped it.

King Guangping and the others were amazed, and under his fiddling, the carved relief patterns on the wooden box actually moved.

Gong Yi Ling's technique was clever, and he quickly recombined the patterns of the upper and lower pieces. In less than a stick of incense, the other four noodles were also combined.

The male spirit held up the wooden box and presented it to everyone.

Everyone was amazed. The original relief patterns of mountains, rivers, rare birds and animals, etc., have completely changed the theme at this time.

One depicts a wedding, in which a young man and a woman tie the knot.

A pattern depicting the battle outside Yanmen Pass, in which a young general rescued an emperor.

The later patterns are easy to understand, there is a Taiyuan army, a big break Wang Shichong, a pacification of the Western Regions, and a Lingyan Pavilion of performance.

These patterns describe the major events in Taizong's life.

"In the battle outside Yanmen Pass, the emperor rescued by Taizong was-"

Liu Feiyu blinked his eyes, and asked about King Guangping with some embarrassment.

"I, Li Tang, was originally a loyal minister of the Great Sui, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Yang became more and more desolate, put all the people in the world in fire and water, and then there was the hard persecution of the Yuwen clan, so I raised troops in Taiyuan and helped the troubled times. Even after winning the world, the Yang family temple is still taken care of. As for the battle of Yanmen Pass on the painting, it is said that Emperor Yang of Sui was trapped in Yanmen Pass, and Emperor Taizong went to rescue him in the year of the weak crown. ”

"I see, this shows the mind of Emperor Taizong Tian Khan. ”

Everyone couldn't help but admire again and again.

"Can it be opened?" asked Liu Feiyu on behalf of the master.

The male spirit placed the wooden box on top of the table, and randomly and gently removed the top layer of the wooden box a little. However, the contents of the wooden box were not revealed.

Then he knelt down and said: "Lord, if there is no other command, the villain will retire." ”

King Guangping was delighted, this person opened the wooden box, and did not peep into the contents of the box, but he knew the rules very well. Fang Cai always blamed him for himself, and a person like him who was obsessed with craftsmanship inevitably showed pride and confidence when he saw this thing.

"Well, you're doing a good job, monkey go get a letter of gold. ”

Monkey is the name given to Liu Feipe by the King of Guangping and the Lord of Shengping. A letter of gold is fifty taels.

"The prince is wrong to love, and the little one really doesn't dare to receive great favors. ”

"You don't have to be like this, since you are a person with great skills, the prince will inevitably use your place in the future. And your work today is not trivial. Take it. Remember not to make a big deal out of it at this time. ”

"Don't worry, the villain is born obsessed with woodwork, and everything else is not stained. ”

The public lost the spirit and said goodbye and returned. Liu Feiyu specially sent a housekeeper to call a carriage and horse to give him a ride.

"I can't imagine that this ordinary little carpenter is so capable. Yu Nuohai looked at Xian Yuyan and said in surprise.

"I didn't expect him to be able to really open it, it was Guo Yu who mentioned it a few times, this little carpenter has outstanding skills and can make wooden birds fly into the sky. ”

"Have you two ever heard of a person called Gong Yiban?" Seeing that they were still stuffy in the gourd, King Guangping couldn't help but want to mention the two of them.

"Nope. ”

Not only Yu Nuohai and Xian Yuyan, but even Liu Feiyu said in unison.
