Chapter 64: The King of Shu (I)
Yaowang Villa is large and secretive. After entering Yaowang Mountain, you can see an ancient tree engraved with "Yaowang Villa Boundary" halfway up the mountain, and the six big characters are coated with the powder of the night pearl grinding, which flickers slightly in the dark and silent deep mountain forest, like a cat's eyes. Beside the ancient tree were two giant pythons, glittering with a smooth silver glow in the moonlight.
Xue Yiren said to Shu'er: "Although our Yaowang Villa does not have the thousands of turns and organs like the Zhuge family's Xuanji Island, the terrain of the villa is diverse, from here to the top of the mountain, and then down to the valley, it is the boundary of the Yaowang Villa. Only paved roads can be walked in the lodge, because every corner of the lodge is planted with elixirs, and not a single one is a wild flower or weed. If you accidentally step on the precious medicinal herbs in the villa, you will have to compensate. ”
Shu'er nodded, signaling that she knew.
The three of them relied on the moonlight and the guidance of the Xue people to shuttle through the deep mountains and old forests, and when they rode donkeys to the top of the mountain, they saw hundreds of houses and buildings in the valley in the distance brightly lit. Xue Yiren said: "Hey, at this hour, everyone has already turned off the lights and rested, is there a distinguished guest visiting today?" ”
When you go to the valley, those bright houses reflect the dozens of century-old magnolias in the valley blooming like a prosperous era, which is more gorgeous and colorful than a few purple magnolias in the skull cave. Shu'er didn't expect that the Medicine King Valley, which she thought must be eerie and terrifying in the dark night, turned out to be such a bewitching scenery.
An old waiter from the villa walked forward and saluted Xue Yiren: "Miss is back!" The head of the house was drinking with His Royal Highness the King of Shu and the master of the Zhuge family of Chu State in the Hundred Poison Hall, and instructed that if you come back, you will go to the Hundred Poison Hall to meet the elders. ”
Xue Yiren jumped off the donkey and said calmly to Shu'er and Zhuge Rong: "You guys should come together!" ”
Shu'er and Zhuge calmly also jumped off the donkey and followed Xue Yiren towards the Hundred Poison Hall. Shu'er looked at Xue Yiren's back, the moonlight was like water, she stepped on the purple magnolia petals, her white clothes fluttered, and she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself, she didn't feel like a girl at all, she only cared about practicing swords and fighting, and she hadn't groomed herself for more than ten days, no wonder she was one place higher than herself on the beauty list......
Shu'er turned his head to look at Zhuge calmly, and saw that although he was wearing a gray robe with wide robes and large sleeves, it was not bright and gorgeous, but there was no turbidity of wind and dust, but it was like grinding, simple and clean. A gray and white pair, one is "Brother Zhuge " and the other is "Sister Xue Family", just like the people in the same ink painting. Shu'er couldn't help but sigh, feeling that her dirty appearance was really out of place and embarrassing in front of these glamorous people, just like her life experience, it was difficult to speak.
The upper seat in the Hundred Poison Hall sits the King of Shu Wuxie, on the right is Xue Jiuming, the head of Yaowang Mountain, and on the left is the trace of Zhuge Zhuang, a merchant who is rich and rival in the Chu State. The three men are of similar age, but their temperaments are different.
Zhuge retreated, and there was hatred in his dark and bland eyes, showing the vicissitudes of life, although he was richly dressed, it was difficult to hide his sorrow. Shu'er had never seen such a sad and dignified person, as if he fell into the quagmire and fell into the abyss of the mire when he fell into his eyes, and there was no return. She couldn't figure out how such a sad man could bring such a naughty and unruly child to Da Zhuge calmly alone.
Xue Jiuming is white and thin, his eyes are smart and confident, there seem to be thousands of medical books in his chest, the tip of his tongue seems to have tasted all the herbs of the world, he is dressed in white, and he is immortal. Shu'er remembered that when she met Xue's father and daughter on Xiling Road ten years ago, Xue Jiuming was like this, and there were not too many traces of time.
And the king of Shu, Wu Xie, although he sat on the throne, he had no royal etiquette, no cumbersome clothing, no expensive jade crown, drank wine and tore barbecue, grinned grinningly, and waved his greasy hand to the three young people who stepped into the Hundred Poison Hall, but he seemed to be a full Jianghu person, although he was not a suave appearance, but he had a chic and comfortable appearance.
I don't understand, how could three men who are so different gather here?
Wu Xie smiled: "The daughter of the Xue family and the kid of the Zhuge family are quite compatible...... Hey, who's the girl doll next to her? ”
Xue Yiren saluted casually, obviously familiar with the King of Shu, and replied with a smile: "Your Highness, this little brother is the new lord of Xiling, called 'Yan Shu'. ”
Shu'er respectfully performed the official salute of the Jinyang Palace of Chen State, and said to the king of Shu: "In Xia Yanshu, running a shop in Chen Guofanjing, I originally came to Xiling of Shu to talk about business......
Before Shu'er could finish speaking, Wu Xie suddenly stood up, jumped in front of Shu'er in three steps and two steps, looked down at the Huaiwang Sword in her hand, and then simply squatted down and looked at it carefully. Shu'er was startled, and hurriedly took a few steps back, the dignified monarch of Shu actually squatted down in front of her and the common people, what kind of system did he become?
The black demon wiped the greasy hands that had torn the barbecue meat on her shirt vigorously before reaching out and grabbing her sword, telling her not to retreat any further. He looked at the sword carefully over and over again, and said in surprise: "This is the Huaiwang sword that this king has been looking for!" Then he looked up at Shu'er and grinned: "The new Xiling lord Xiao Nizi is good, really good!" The sword is good, and the people are good! After that, he jumped up, circled around Shu'er, and said, "It's this woman who dresses up as a man, and she doesn't dress up very smart!" ”
Shu'er was noncommittal, so she had to bow her head and remain silent. Wu Xie said: "Xiao Nizi, the lord of Xiling, don't blame this king for his wisdom and understanding, and reveal your identity as a woman disguised as a man!" You disguised yourself as a man and traveled all the way from Chen to Shu to talk about business, there must be your troubles, but that was before you met this king! Now that you know this king, whether you are a man or a woman, you can do whatever you want, and this king will support you! ”
Xue Yiren was stunned and asked, "Brother Zhuge , is she actually a woman?" Isn't she a broken sleeve? ”
Zhuge calmly spread his hands: "What she said, it wasn't what I said." ”
Shu'er immediately made a decision, since he suddenly met the king of Shu today, he decided to take advantage of the good mood of the king of Shu and quickly get a will that the biliang incense could be exported to other countries, so he said: "Your Highness, I do have something I want to ask for your permission. I wanted to go to Zichuan to meet you, but I didn't expect to meet here today, which is really gratifying. ”
Wu Xie nodded to Shu'er, waved to everyone, and said, "Everyone sit, drink and drink, pick the door Xue's wine, don't drink in vain!" Then he pulled Shu'er's sleeve, let her sit beside him, and said to Shu'er: "If you can hold this Huaiwang sword, you can defeat the ten sects and eight factions of Xiling...... Xiao Nizi is very unusual! Say, what are your requests? If this king can do it, he will send someone to help you do it quickly! But don't get me wrong, this king is not coveting the beauty of your yellow-haired girl, but coveting the Huaiwang Sword in your hand!
