Chapter 107: Heaven and Earth
Seeing Cui Li's words and deeds, Yu Die'er's mind came up with the evaluation of the sect master by the man in the room just now: witty, no shape!
Looking closely, although he had an ordinary person's robe on the outside, I don't know where to find it temporarily, so it didn't fit, and the collar of the robe was bigger, revealing the collar of the eunuch suit inside, no wonder the man said that he was a eunuch.
Cui Li was eating the dishes on the plate, and when he saw Yu Die'er smiling, he subconsciously said: "What are you laughing at, don't you believe it? ”
If the man only mentioned the people of the Holy Doctor Sect, Yu Die'er only doubted whether it was Cui Li, but later said that he was the sect master of the Holy Medicine Sect, wouldn't that be equivalent to naming him? But she still wanted to make sure.
So he asked as if unintentionally: "Cui Gongzi, is there anything special about your Holy Medicine Sect? For example, people can know their identity at a glance." ”
"Oh, you mean tokens?" she asked this thoughtlessly, but Cui Li didn't care, raised his right hand and shook it in front of her, "See, my nails." ”
I saw that his nails were faintly red, so bewitching, he didn't say it, Yu Die'er really didn't pay attention to his hands.
"All of you in the Holy Doctor Sect have to dye your nails?" Yu Die'er was funny, it was really a strange sect rule.
"Go, who wants to dye their nails?" Cui Li almost spurted blood, "The disciple of the Holy Medicine Sect will be with medicine for the rest of his life, do you know that Shennong tastes herbs? He explained.
It turned out that this was the case, and the man may have noticed his fingernails and knew that he was a member of the Holy Doctor Sect. But how do you know that he is the suzerain?
"Is there anything else different about the Sect Master?" she asked again.
Cui Li pulled out a pendant from the collar, a black skull, and then put it into the collar: "This skull can only be worn by the sect masters of previous dynasties, and my father passed it on to me." ”
The pendant is strung with a black thread and worn around the neck. But it is hidden in the clothes, and it cannot be seen. You can only see the line.
Yu Die'er frowned, could it be that the man saw the line on his neck, and knew that there was a skull pendant underneath? The observation was too subtle, and he knew the Holy Doctor Sect in real detail!
"There are other ways to prove it. Sect Master, of course, there must be differences. Cui Li chattered while eating, and just as Yu Die'er pricked up his ears to listen, he changed his words: "But the others can't be outsiders." Then he lowered his head and concentrated on eating.
Yu Die is angry, this person is really curious, but she is not reluctant, after all, it is related to the secrets of other people's lineages. And she only needs to confirm whether there is really a so-called mark to prove what the man said.
"You're quite interested, are you going to join the Holy Doctor Sect?" Hetai looked at her with a smile, "Eat some food, how about you taste it?" Seeing that she didn't eat when she patronized and talked, he put a lot of vegetables in her bowl and urged her to eat.
She frowned: "Don't come, it's too cost-effective, there are a lot of delicious foods in the palace, and you don't need any money." ”
As soon as he heard that he often came, Cui Li became interested: "Brother He, do you want to listen to my opinion?" It's delicious, it's delicious! It tastes great!" Cui Li gave a thumbs up, "When will you come again, don't forget to call me." ”
This delicious ghost is slightly better than Fluttershy, and Hetai and Fish Butterfly look at each other and laugh.
"What do you two mean by laughing?" Cui Li frowned. "Are you going to leave me and come secretly?"
"No, I promise, if I come, I'll call you. Yu Die'er promised. I just feel that he is there, but it adds a lot of joy.
"It's still you who talk about righteousness. Cui Li continued to eat with confidence. I really don't know how big his belly is, and he keeps eating, isn't he afraid to hold on?
Hetai only ate a few bites of slightly light dishes, and then held the tea bowl, but his eyes looked down from the window from time to time, and Yu Die'er also looked down when he saw it, and found that there were a few people on the street who went back and forth on the street outside Surabaya and did not leave, and his eyes glanced inside from time to time.
The stalker thought of this instantly. Hetai paid so much attention, didn't he stare at him? Yu Die'er suddenly woke up and found that someone had been following their whereabouts.
But although Hetai saw it, he was still calm and unhurried, and he was still eating and drinking here leisurely, presumably he had known it for a long time, so he could be so calm.
The dishes of Surabaya Ju are finely made, the presentation is chic and exquisite, and they are also very willing to cut the ingredients, some dishes have been changed, but they have changed even better, I don't know where to invite the chef? The fish and butterflies, who think they have some research on eating, are also amazed.
"The food is delicious, but the speed of serving the food is too slow, it seems that there are still dishes that have not been served, and they will not be eaten until sunset!" Cui Lidao.
"There is a lot of attention to cooking, like some dishes take more than ten hours to make. Yu Die'er smiled.
"Dishes for such a long time? Who ordered it, served it, I don't have the strength to eat it, right? Cui Li was dissatisfied, and then lowered his voice and said, "Actually, I'm not in a hurry, such an expensive dish, how can I eat more to be enough, I'm just afraid that the prince will be in a hurry, tomorrow will be the sixth day, and I am still eating here leisurely, I don't know how to rush at all." He spoke to Butterfly and pointed at Hetai.
Seeing that he cared so much, Yu Die'er was really good for Hetai, so he also learned from him and whispered: "Son, just eat, don't worry about the others, the prince's affairs The prince has his own opinions, maybe he has already made a bamboo in his chest, and he deliberately passed the time here and delayed." "I was also anxious about him before, but now I vaguely feel that he is in the next game of chess, a game in which he has mastered the initiative. So now I don't bother to bother with him.
Although her voice is lowered, Tsurutai seems to hear it clearly, and when she raises her eyebrows, she is secretly surprised, and Fluttershy can see that she is really a ghost elf, and she thinks she has hidden it well, and she is doing a lot of it.
"Confident, deliberately delaying? I think he has no way to do anything to escape here. But some eat and eat, and if there is wine today and drunk tomorrow, it doesn't matter what will happen tomorrow, right?"
This meal really ate until the sunset and the sunset before returning to the palace.
The night gradually enveloped the world, dark and silent, and everything was quiet.
Haoyuezhai, there was silence in the study, the wine and food on the table had not been withdrawn, Hetai stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, his face was calm, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or angry, sad or sad. The windows are wide open, and the flowers and trees in the yard can be seen at a glance. He was reminded of the edge of the hill and pond, where there were many lush, vast and majestic mountains, and there was no edge in sight.
There were conquests, there were slaughters, there were soldiers who had died, there were brothers who had fallen in battle, and there were fallen opponents. Two and a half years, 30 months, and bloody battles, he was able to return triumphantly, and this time it was too peaceful. He has pride and contentment.
But the hearts of the people in this imperial city are more complicated, and the struggle for power is more terrifying, and the deceit is no worse than the stratagem on the battlefield. On the battlefield, there are clear swords and guns, each with his own ability, but these dark calculations hidden under the peace are more like hidden arrows that are difficult to prevent.
A trace of extremely invisible sorrow passed through his deep eyes, and after a long time, he muttered: "I don't know when I, the people of Qiuchi, will be able to truly live and work in peace and contentment, not to be invaded by enemy countries, and not to be exploited by corrupt officials." I don't know when I, Qiu Chi court, can be loyal and good, and the traitors will retreat. ”
The battle between the court and the court has never been something he wants to step into, and he is afraid to avoid it, but the emperor has had a deep conversation with him, Prince Hui's wolf ambitions, and the tendency of the court's hundred officials to fall one-sided, so that he has to follow the emperor's will first and set foot in the court. That's his father, even if there is a gap between them, but this hill, this court belongs to his father after all, and he can't let it go for the covetousness of others.
Treasure map, he remembered that after returning to the palace, Fluttershy whispered to him about the backyard of Surabaya House, what kind of treasure map did the murderer kill Concubine Zhuang for? I don't know if it was a rumor or if it was true, as a royal concubine, if there was a treasure map, why didn't she give it to the emperor but kept it privately, did she give it to Prince Hui? Or did she not know that she had a treasure map?
"Lord, I only tell you about this matter, don't say it. He remembered Fluttershy's repeated admonitions, and his sparkling eyes blinked, and he couldn't see her thoughts, just afraid that people would know what she was overhearing.
Although there are some things she shows of childishness, such as being reluctant to spend money, keeping money, such as always not liking to wear jewelry, but he does not think she is vulgar and poor at all. I just think it makes her more different and more attractive to herself. Or that no matter what she is, as long as it is her, he will rejoice. Thinking about her smile can make you extremely happy, and only in front of her can she let go of all her pretense and loosen all the strings.
Just as he was flying his mind and letting his thoughts fly, suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps from the side door of the study, and a figure approached and whispered: "Lord, everything has been arranged, just wait for the prince's order." ”
Hetai condensed his eyebrows, turned to the table, picked up the wine glass, drank it all, the wine was slightly spicy in his throat, his eyes crossed a trace of depth, and he spit out a sentence: "This king wants to catch him alive!"
"Yes, my lord!" said the man.
No matter how dense the branches and leaves are, they can't stop the eagle's eye! The net he planned is finally about to be closed!
"Are all the palaces protected by arrangement?" Tsurutai confirmed. He doesn't want to take care of one or the other, the murderer wants to be caught, but the personal safety in the palace also has to be taken into account.
"The prince can rest assured, all the palaces have been arranged, and all the guards have been sent to ambush. According to the prince's orders, his subordinates have secretly transferred the Flying Tiger Battalion to protect the emperor and the queen mother like an iron arm. The person replied, and it seemed that he had won the battle.
