Chapter 21: Wine in Trouble
It was night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, in the backyard of the Guoxiang City Post House, a black shadow flashed through the night, falling in the courtyard, through the slight moonlight, you could see this person, dressed in black, a big black cloak covered the whole body, wrapped himself in it, and couldn't see the person's head and face clearly. He didn't reply, but said, "Call me here late at night, but is there any important news?"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a man flash out of the darkness in the corner of the courtyard, it was the Baicao Valley Flower Wuchen, I saw the flower Wuchen, bowed down, and said in a low voice: "The fire is not extinguished, and the Holy Sect will live forever." I have seen the lord in my humble manner. ”
The man in black waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't be vulgar, just talk about it." ”
Hua Wuchen said yes, and then said: "Honorable Lord, in the mission of the Lord, Your Majesty has already found out the whereabouts of the sect master's son, and his identity has been roughly determined. ”
The man in black turned his head and said, "Very good, you didn't disappoint me, but the deity didn't understand, why is it roughly determined? Do you know the stakes of this matter, and you can't tolerate the slightest mistake, otherwise, even if you have a hundred lives, it will not be enough for you to die." Understood?"
Hua Wuchen said in fear: "The Venerable Lord is angry, and the humble can be sure that it must be this person, just waiting for the Venerable Lord to tell him to do future tasks." ”
The man in black looked at Hua Wuchen silently for a moment, and said: "This is still a sentence, you listen well, the day after tomorrow is the Tianxiang Festival, and you will definitely enter the palace at that time, you just need to bring the son of the sect leader to the left of the 'Shizuka Palace' by the flower fence, and I will be there to meet you at that time, don't forget." ”
Hua Wuchen nodded, silently remembered it in his chest, and said, "Humble remember." ”
The man in black turned around and said, "When you enter the palace, don't contact me again, there are many masters in the palace, everything is careful." ”
Hua Wuchen said yes, but still had no intention of retreating, the man in black turned around and said, "Is there anything else?"
Hua Wuchen said: "The lord has promised to be humble, as long as the humbleness has done this well, he will let the humbling return to the south and leave the country, I don't know ......."
The man in black smiled and said, "The deity will never forget, as long as you do this errand well, the deity will allow you to return to the religion, and what you have done for the religion over the years, the deity will see it." The day after tomorrow, you can pack up a little and go on the road with us. ”
Hua Wuchen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Thank you for the great grace of the lord, and Wuchen will be loyal to my sect in the future." ”
The man in black bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay, you go back, everything you do, you will see the day after tomorrow." As soon as he said that, he disappeared into the night in an instant.
Hua Wuchen looked at the night sky, sighed secretly, and said to himself: "In two days, everything will be over, and it will be over......"
On the second day, just after dawn, everyone in Baicao Valley had just finished breakfast, only to hear a noise outside the post house, and after a while, from outside the post house, they broke into two teams of guards, and walked to the lobby of the post house, and stood on both sides separately.
Wushuang people, since they came to Guoxiang City, they have not seen acquaintances, and the Lord Lin Yue in front of them, although they have only met once in Baicao Valley, they are still a little kind, and they are about to step forward to say hello, only to see Lin Yue smiling and waving his hand, he walked straight to Hua Qingxi, bowed, and said: "Hua senior, Wanfu Jin'an." Lin Yue had already ordered to go down and move to the Guoshi Mansion as soon as he arrived in Guoxiang City. Who would have thought that my subordinates were spoiled by me on weekdays, and let the old-timers condescend here, as soon as Lin Yue learned the news, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and personally came to invite you old man, this time you have to go with me if you say anything, haha. ”
When Hua Qingxi heard this, he was very useful, stroked his beard, and said, "Old man Bai, I really haven't served him anything in my life." But he can have a disciple like you, but I can't do it. ”
Lin Yue hurriedly said: "The seniors are too modest, the juniors and sisters of Baicao Valley are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and his future is limitless, at this point, the family teacher is still not as good as the seniors of the flowers." ”
When Hua Qingxi heard this, he laughed heartily and said, "Okay, I won't embarrass you today, let's go to the Guoshi Mansion with you!" After that, he turned his head and said to the disciples: "You go and pack up quickly, and we will go into the imperial city." Everyone gladly accepted the order, and each went back to the house to pack up his things, and in a few moments, they all packed up.
Lin Yue saw that everyone was packing up, and ordered two attendants to carry everyone's bags. Lin Yue led the way first, out of the gate of the post house, and saw two four-horse carts, waiting outside the door, Lin Yue turned around and pointed to the carriage in front of him, and said to Hua Qingxi: "Hua senior, please get in the car, there is still a road from the imperial city, it is more convenient to take the car." ”
Hua Qingxi was about to go to the flower deer for his life, and when he heard this, he said: "It's better to think about it thoroughly, so that's it." After that, he got into the car, and finally couldn't rest assured that his old deer was relieved, and he ordered the post guard to take care of it, so he was at ease. After Lin Yue arranged for the disciples of Baicao Valley to get into the carriage behind, he also got into the carriage with Hua Qingxi, chatting with him.
Wuhuan and Wu Regret have never sat in such a luxurious car, and they are excited. Opened the curtain and kept looking, only to see that the car had been going north, a cup of tea, and then walked to the gate of the Imperial City Palace, the guards stepped forward to check Lin Yue's waist card, and let everyone go in, no regrets have never seen such a magnificent palace gate, the majestic guards.
Everyone entered the Guoxiang City from the side gate of the imperial city, the speed of the carriage slowed down significantly, and after a while, the carriage stopped in front of a palace gate, Wushuang looked through the curtain, only to see the plaque on the palace with the words "Guoshi Imperial Mansion" vigorously written, Wushuang thought, this is "Guoshi Palace".
Lin Yue jumped out of the car, and the maid in front of the Guoshi's Mansion saw that it was Lin Yue, so she hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Say hello to Lord Lin." ”
Lin Yue waved his hand and said, "Hurry up and call the maids to welcome the old men of Baicao Guhua." Hearing this, the maid hurriedly retreated in a panic, Hua Qingxi heard it in the car, lifted the curtain and said to Lin Yue: "Lin Xian's nephew, Hua has never liked floating waves, so it is not good to disturb everyone so much, just wait for a place to live with me, don't bother." ”
When Lin Yue heard this, he said, "Don't be impatient. A few days ago, the people from the Wuwu Palace came here, and they couldn't wait for Wang Meiren to greet them in person, and we still have to have this scene today, otherwise wouldn't it make people look down on us?"
When Hua Qingxi heard this, her heart was even more comfortable, and she stroked her beard before she stopped talking. After a while, all the maids came to the palace gate, lined up in two teams, bowed and saluted, and said in unison: "Welcome to the old predecessors of Baicao Guhua." Hua Qingxi and the disciples got out of the car, Hua Qingxi raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up, go and get busy." When the maids heard this, Ying Ying got up. Lin Yue said: "It's all gone, let's go and get busy." The maids answered yes and dispersed.
Lin Yue took the lead in guiding the way for everyone, nameless and endless, seeing all the maids, only to see all the beautiful postures, slender figures, and the competition was stunned, the two of them looked like this, but it made all the maids laugh. Seeing this, Wu Huan slapped the back of Wu Huan's head, his eyes widened angrily, and he glared at Wu Huan, Wu Yi immediately came back to his senses, and didn't dare to look at Wu Huan, secretly ashamed in his heart, in front of his sweetheart, to peek at other girls, after all, it is not good.
Lin Yue introduced everyone into the Guoshi Mansion, only to see that the space inside was very large, and the palace feathers were uneven. Lin Yue stretched out his hand and pointed in the northwest direction, and said: "Lin Yue knows that the seniors have never liked to be lively, so he arranged the seniors in a remote pavilion, where the environment is elegant, quiet and noisy, and I think I will be able to do what my predecessors want." ”
Hua Qingxi said: "Lin Xian's nephew bothered, he thought so thoughtfully. ”
Lin Yue said: "Lin Yue's affairs, the old-timers don't have to be polite. After a while, Lin Yue led everyone into the house, and his own maid arranged the room for the disciples, and some trivial matters were not elaborated.
After Lin Yue waited for everyone to settle down, he said, "In this way, the old-timers can live in peace, and if there is anything, just ask the maid to inform Lin Yue." Lin Yue still has some things, and it is inconvenient to stay for a long time. ”
Hua Qingxi said: "Nothing else, but I don't know who of the elders of your Lingxu Mountain has arrived?"
When Lin Yue heard this, he replied: "I, Lingxu Mountain, in addition to the family teacher and the head of the family, Elder Qin of Beishan, Elder Mu of Dongshan, and Elder Wen of Nanshan arrived at the Guoshi Mansion three days ago, and now they are staying in the wing room not far to the east of here. It is okay for the old-timers to go and talk to the elders in their spare time. ”
Hua Qingxi said: "I wrote it down, you can go and get busy." ”
Lin Yue bowed, said goodbye to the disciples, and turned to leave. The disciples packed their bags, distributed the house, and it was already lunch time when everything was done, Hua Qingxi didn't want to share the table with everyone, so he ordered the maid to send the food to the wing room, and the disciples of Baicao Valley had lunch in the lobby of the wing room.
After lunch, Wushuang entered his room, looked around, and only felt that the wing room of this Guoshi Mansion was not known to be many times more luxurious and comfortable than the post house, and the people in this Guoshi Mansion would really enjoy it, no wonder so many people dreamed of coming to this Guoshi Mansion as an offering. Wushuang was on the big bed, just about to enjoy it, who knew that he had just laid down, but he heard someone knocking on his door, Wushuang stood up impatiently, walked to the door, who knew that as soon as he opened the door, he saw Lin Yue take off his official uniform and stand in front of the door casually.
Wushuang cheered up and said, "It turned out to be Senior Brother Lin, I don't know what Senior Brother has to say when he knocks on the door?"
Lin Yue said: "Hehe, Wushuang junior brother, I don't dare to be a teacher, I came to invite you to drink with me, since you came to Guoxiang City, I have been busy with official business, and I haven't entertained you well, I don't want to go, now I just have leisure, Wushuang junior brother must have a face." ”
Wushuang said: "Senior Brother Lin said that he laughed, since Senior Brother has this good intention, Wushuang doesn't dare to spoil the scenery, but I have just eaten, and now I can't eat a bite, Senior Brother forgive me." ”
Lin Yue smiled and said, "It's okay, you just need to go with me." ”
Wushuang said: "Am I the only one?"
Hearing this, Lin Yue stepped forward, grabbed Wushuang's shoulder and said, "Your other senior brothers, I'll invite you another day, okay, okay, don't be your mother-in-law, come with me quickly." After saying that, he picked up Wushuang and left.
Wushuang was dizzy and dizzy, and was dragged away by Lin Yue, and passed through a few paths in a daze, and saw a water pavilion not far ahead, and several figures could be faintly seen, drinking themselves in the water pavilion. Lin Yue said: "It's ahead, I'll introduce a few friends to you to know you." Come on, come on. ”
Wushuang answered, walked a few steps quickly, and waited to walk in front of the water pavilion, only to see that on the stone table in the water pavilion, there were all kinds of seasonal fresh fruits, as well as a jar of wine, and there were two people sitting there drinking next to the stone table, and the two people saw Lin Yue and Wushuang, and hurriedly got up, one of them said: "Senior Brother Lin, you said that you will go back, why did it take so long, if you don't come again, Xiyan and I are about to drink up this jar of wine." ”
When Lin Yue heard this, he smiled and said, "Slow down, slow down, I will introduce you to you, this little brother is the little disciple of Qingxi Sanren in Baicao Valley, Hua Wushuang." Hearing this, Wushuang hurriedly bowed and saluted, saying, "Wushuang has seen two senior brothers. ”
The man in the middle drank a glass of wine and said, "Senior Brother Lin, you said that you were going to find a friend, but you didn't expect to find such a stinky kid back. When Wushuang heard this, he was immediately displeased, and was about to leave with his sleeves brushed up, but was stopped by Lin Yue.
Seeing that the atmosphere was different, the other person hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Wushuang, don't be surprised, Senior Brother Feibai thinks he drank too much, he has always been like this, and he said wildly after drinking, don't care." Lin Yue also helped: "Peerless junior brother, don't be angry. This man is not good at this problem, and he has no mouth to hide, and he comes, comes, and sits down with me. Let's have a drink. ”
Wushuang didn't want to save Lin Yue's face, so he had to sit down reluctantly, and drank a glass, Lin Yue lifted the wine jug, poured it for Wushuang again, and pointed to the person who was not inferior to him just now: "Senior Brother Wushuang, I introduced you to you, this is Yi Feibai, the first disciple of Qin Yi, the elder of the North Mountain of my Lingxu Mountain, who lost to your senior brother Hua Wumian in only one move in the Dao Trial Conference four years ago." ”
Yi Feibai's face was suddenly unhappy when he heard this, it was an eternal scar in his heart, and he never allowed others to mention this matter in front of him, but when Lin Yue talked about it today, he had no choice but to endure it. When Wushuang heard this, he immediately understood why this Yi Feibai just now was disrespectful to himself, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Senior Brother Yi of Lingxu Mountain, Wushuang often heard Senior Brother mention that he narrowly defeated the top master of Lingxu Mountain in one move, it turned out to be you, Senior Brother, who has been admired for a long time." ”
When Lin Yue heard this, he thought: Hua Wumian has never left the Guoshi Mansion in the past four years since he entered the Guoshi Mansion, where is he going to tell you this. This little brother, such a fast mouth.
Yi Feibai naturally heard Wushuang's words, but he also put away a little contempt, and didn't dare to underestimate this person anymore. Seeing Yi Feibai's expression, Lin Yue smiled, pointed to another person, and continued: "This is Liu Xiyan, the first disciple of my Lingxu Mountain Elder Mu Qike. ”
Liu Xiyan shook his head at Wushuang and said: "In the past few days, I have heard Senior Brother Lin mention Wushuang Senior Brother, and today I know that it is better to meet than to meet, Wushuang Senior Brother is really a talent, handsome and extraordinary." ”
When Yi Feibai heard this, he drank a glass of wine, and snorted in his nose: "He has always been rich in beautiful men in the Hundred Grass Valley, otherwise how could he be recruited as a colt by that." Haha......"
When Wushuang heard this, he naturally heard that Yi Feibai was humiliating Senior Brother, and he was very angry, so he immediately stood up and said angrily: "Wushuang was invited by Senior Brother Lin today to have a drink, not to talk nonsense with a drunk like you, and say goodbye." With that, he turned and left.
Lin Yue hurriedly got up and stopped Wushuang, and whispered in his ear: "Senior Brother Wushuang, don't be angry, you have just come to Guoxiang City, you know very little about the doorway in this imperial city, I will tell you more in the future." Today, Senior Brother Feibai drank a little more, just to express the resentment in your heart for many years, you sell me a face, and I can't hear it, if you get along for a long time in the future, you will understand that this Yi Feibai is really a well-known man, but he just has a trouble-making mouth. ”
After hearing Lin Yue's words, Wushuang's anger in his heart went down a lot, and he followed the words: "Senior Brother Lin, Wushuang is not a hypocritical person, but as the saying goes, don't speculate for more than half a sentence, this Senior Brother Yi is really too deceitful, and has insulted my reputation in Baicao Valley three or four times, how can you let me bear it?"
At this time, Liu Xiyan also stepped forward and wrapped his arms around Wushuang. Shengsheng pressed Wushuang on the stone bench and said with a smile: "Senior Brother Wushuang, Lingxu Mountain and Baicao Gu Sudai are good friends, and my disciples must not be separated because of a few jokes." ”
Lin Yue said helpfully: "Xiyan's words are true, Feibai, you just said something inferior, quickly make amends to Wushuang Senior Brother." ”
When Yi Feibai heard this, he also felt that it was indeed too much just now, and as soon as the words came out, he felt remorseful, and now he got off the donkey, lifted a glass of wine, and said: "Senior Brother Wushuang, don't be angry, Yi Mou offended just now, and now I will make amends to you." As soon as he finished drinking, Lin Yue and Liu Xiyan also helped on the side, and Wushuang couldn't get entangled in this matter anymore, so he also picked up the wine and drank it dry.
Yi Feibai saw that Wushuang drank the wine in the glass, and hurriedly got up and poured it for Wushuang. I drank another glass, and as soon as the Wushuang wine entered my throat, I felt that this wine was on par with the 'Baili Xiang' in that day, and it was also a good wine, so I drank a few more glasses. Yi Feibai saw Wushuang drinking so heavily, and immediately felt that Wushuang was also a fellow practitioner, and couldn't help but have a good impression of Wushuang. said: "Your senior brother never drinks alcohol, and I never thought that your little junior brother should really drink well. ”
Wushuang said: "Of course, you have to drink a few more glasses of good wine, otherwise how can you live up to the situation at this time." ”
When Yi Feibai heard this, he felt that Wushuang was a wonderful person, and drank a few more glasses with each other. The four of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses, and after a while, they drank a jar of wine, and Lin Yue hurriedly called someone to fetch the wine again. Taking advantage of this gap, Yi Feibai sighed: "Hey, they are brothers of the same sect, why is there such a difference." ”
Wushuang was a little upset, and said: "Senior Brother Yi, you should be an open-minded person, if you have been slandering him behind your back because you lost at the hands of my senior brother four years ago, you can't be a big man, but you are too small-bellied." ”
Yi Feibai heard this and said: "Hmph, Yi Moufei has always hated your senior brother because of the slap that beat me in the ring four years ago, he is really your senior brother, and he is a ...... person."
"Feibai, be cautious. Lin Yue interrupted Yi Feibai's words and said busily.
Wushuang is also a very smart person, and said: "How is my senior brother, he has his own judgment, and Wushuang doesn't listen to you, but just now I heard you clearly, calling Princess Tianxiang a." Putting aside her status as a princess, but she is also insulting my eldest brother's wife, how should you say it. ”
When Yi Feibai heard this, his originally drunken and sloppy eyes instantly condensed two rays of light and looked at Wushuang, and said, "What if I call her a? ”
When Liu Xiyan heard this, he looked around, hurriedly stepped forward and pressed Yi Feibai's mouth, and said, "Silence, don't you want to die?"
Yi Feibai shook off Liu Xiyan's hand and said loudly: "You are all afraid of her, I am afraid of where she will come from, I just want to call her a, a with thousands of people riding and ten thousand lewd, haha...... What can she do to me? What can she do to me......" Before the words fell, he felt the back of his head sink and fainted, Lin Yue put away his palm and said to Liu Xiyan: "Xiyan, quickly carry him back to the Shishifu, and don't let this guy touch half a drop of wine in the future, one day, he will die on this wine." ”
Liu Xiyan nodded and responded: "Senior Brother Lin, don't worry, I will take good care of Senior Brother Yi in the future, Wushuang Senior Brother, I can't have fun today, I will drink it another day." Yuhiko took his leave. After that, he took Yi Feibai back to the dormitory.
Wushuang said: "Senior Brother Lin, why does Senior Brother Yi have such a big prejudice against Princess Tianxiang?"
Lin Yue sighed and said: "Today is that I have nothing to do, looking for you to drink, but I didn't want to be so unhappy, Lin is very guilty, as for what you just said, Senior Brother Wushuang will go back to rest today, this palace is not a place to talk, and I will tell you the whole reason for the whole thing in the future." ”
When Wushuang heard Lin Yue say this, he didn't want to ask again, and said, "It's okay, then Wushuang will leave." ”
Lin Yue said: "Senior brother, go slowly, Lin won't send you back." ”
Wushuang waved his hand and said, "It's okay." He turned and walked away alone.
