Chapter 3 Dust Falling
Sheng Jing has words:
Drunk and dreaming of death to find a joy. What is said is the first floor of the world, looking for joy in the world.
Plain hand frost posture to stop the wind and moon. The owner of the first floor of the world, the dust boy.
It is rumored that he has a gentle temperament, often wears a light shirt, is known to cover his face with a mask, is good at tact, and learns from the world's first strange person - Ghost Dust Fangzun. When people want to find out, they are also daunting.
"Qingchen boy, I'm afraid that now we are no longer in the Joy House in the world."
Qingchen Gongzi just looked at her quietly.
"You laid out a nine-character chain formation early in the morning, and let the drunken girl lead us into the battle." Gong Yu was still staring at the painting, "This painting is the ninth chess piece of this nine-character chain array, and the Qingchen Gongzi is worthy of being the disciple of the Ghost Dust Fangzun." There is a chess piece hidden behind these paintings, and then arranged according to the nine palaces, this strangulation array can be described as unguardable. ”
Li Shuying's expression was cold.
Gong Yu shook his head and said, "Qingchen Gongzi's move is just to test me." ”
It's just that this temptation is a bit severe, and if you can't pass this temptation, you can only leave this life.
"This formation only needs to stabilize the ninth son, it seems to be endlessly changing, but in fact, it is always one, and then attack the formation in the first painting." Gong Yu said.
"Since Your Excellency knows the method of breaking the formation, why don't you break out of the formation?" The face of the Qingchen Boy was hidden under half of the mask from the tip of his eyebrows to the tip of his nose, leaving only a slightly curved lip.
But the best way to stabilize the ninth son is to fix the ninth painting, that is, to destroy it.
Gong Yu sighed: "It's a pity, I can't break this formation." I won't ruin this painting, and I won't be able to settle for the ninth. ”
Zui Huan was a little surprised when he heard this.
"Could it be that Your Excellency and the person who painted this painting are old friends?" Qingchen Gongzi suddenly asked.
"Why should Childe ask knowingly." Gong Yu said, her tone was a little cold, "This painting is from the hand of King Gong Xiao Jing." ”
When the name was heard, everyone present fell silent.
What the name means, everyone present seems to know.
Seven years ago, Princess Yuanxi Gong Yu kowtowed step by step, from the palace gate to the last step of the Chonghua Palace.
This blood-stained persistence all the way is precisely to announce the culprit of the change in the Imperial Gate, King Gong Xiao Jing!
A trace of sigh crossed the eyes of the Qingchen boy, and he only lightly knocked on one wall, and the nine-character chain array was self-defeating.
They had already arrived in a bamboo house.
"Why did the Qingchen boy help me break the formation again?"
"Your Excellency has my master's token, so naturally you have to treat each other politely, and you don't have to be reluctant." The dusty boy replied, and he made two cups of tea.
Gong Yu smiled when she heard this, and she raised her hand to take off the hat.
She is the most favored princess Yuanxi today.
Her black hair was tied into a bun, and only a jade embroidered hairpin was inserted diagonally, and the rest of her hair reached her waist, like splashing ink. The gold-woven dark mink set off her snow-white skin.
At this moment, her lips were slightly curved, and she smiled gently and harmlessly, but when that glance swept over, there was a faint bit of imperial power. This is not a gentle and gentle woman, but a formidable superior.
Although Zui Huan had some suspicions that the person wearing the mink was Princess Yuanxi, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw her take off the hat directly. She then quit the bamboo hut.
The Dust Boy didn't want her to watch chess.
"Presumably, the dust boy has long expected my identity." She smiled, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
"His Royal Highness returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, and he specially came to the Joy House in the lower world, such an honor is unbearable." Although the tone of the Qingchen boy was respectful, he did not salute.
"I heard that Qingchen Gongzi is good at playing chess, and I am also a chess lover, I wonder if Gongzi is willing to play a game with me?"
"Your Highness, please." Qingchen said softly. He spread out the chess game, "I wonder if His Highness uses black or white chess?" ”
"I like to use sunspots." Gong Yu replied. "Childe knows my identity, so he should have guessed the purpose of my coming to the world to have fun."
She lowered her head and dropped a sunspot, and said straight to the point: "I want the first floor of the world for my use." ”
Kuroko's offensive was extremely fierce, and although Shiroko was on the defensive, he did not fall into the disadvantage.
Qingchen Gongzi stared down at the chessboard and said softly: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, the world has never participated in the struggle of the imperial court. ”
"Isn't it okay with your master's token?" Gong Yu asked.
"Your Highness should also know that with this token, you can only see the next side." Qingchen Gongzi fell a white son and defused the sunspot's offensive. Naturally, his implication was rejection.
In this way, there is only one way to go. Gong Yu was silent for a moment, and then smiled slightly: "Childe, have you ever heard of the Ezhou poetry case seven years ago?" As far as I know, the main culprit in this case, Gu Fengting's clan, was exiled to the northwest, but on the way to the Ezhou Gu clan to be exiled to the northwest, a pair of Gu brothers and sisters escaped. But no one thought that they would flee to the foot of the Son of Heaven - Shengjing. ”
Qingchen Gongzi's expression did not change, he still looked down at the increasingly complicated chessboard, his eyes were a little indifferent, he held the chess piece in his hand, and said in a low voice: "What His Highness said, I have also heard it in Xia, but what I heard in Xia is a little different from His Highness, so didn't the Gu brothers and sisters die on the way to escape a long time ago?" ”
"If this Gu brother and sister died, the Jinyi Guard in the palace should also be relieved, but on the way back to Beijing, I happened to meet a Jinyi Guard, I asked him what he was looking for, and as a result, he told me that he was checking the whereabouts of the Gu brothers and sisters, and this whereabouts pointed to Shengjing." Gong Yu smiled lightly.
Qingchen Gongzi didn't speak, but his gaze sank slightly, and the chess piece in his hand still didn't fall on the chessboard.
I only heard Gong Yu continue: "I am a little interested in what Jin Yiwei said, and I continue to ask him how he knew that this whereabouts point to Sheng Jing." He replied that he had found something on the official road back to Beijing, and this thing was the purple jade handed down by the Gu family, and the name of the daughter of the Gu family was engraved on this purple jade. Qingchen Gongzi, you say, are these Gu brothers and sisters dead? ”
"Maybe it was the thieves who snatched the purple jade of the Gu brothers and sisters, and accidentally left it on the official road. This is not necessarily impossible. Qingchen Gongzi said.
"But today's Jinyi Wei has always been alive to see people, and dead to see corpses. The Gu brothers and sisters seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, and they didn't find anything, and Jin Yiwei would not give up the clue of Ziyu. Gong Yu smiled. She changed her words: "I heard that the Qingchen boy and the drunken girl came to Shengjing seven years ago, and then established the Joy House in the world, do you think this is a coincidence?" ”
Qingchen Gongzi looked up at the smiling princess, his expression gradually faded, and there seemed to be patches of snow in his eyes.
Gong Yu actually put the piece of purple jade directly on the table!
After all, a trace of surprise flashed on the face of the Qingchen Boy.
"Don't be surprised, this is a gift from the brocade guard, he likes to see the snow on the official road, so I helped him and let him stay there forever. Therefore, now I am the only one who knows the secret of this piece of purple jade. Gong Yu was still smiling, as if he had condensed into a kind of mask, "It's just that I told Qingchen Gongzi now, I don't know if you can return this piece of purple jade to the Gu brothers and sisters for me?" ”
"Dare to ask what His Highness knows?" Qingchen Gongzi asked softly, he didn't look at the piece of purple jade again, he just looked at the game of chess, under such a stalemate, I don't know if it was an illusion, his fingers holding the chess pieces trembled slightly.
Gong Yu didn't answer, she stared down at the chess game, and was guessing where the most critical piece of chess would fall, and after a while, she said: "It doesn't matter what I know, it's just that you have to play this move after all." ”
She's the chess player, so she has to make the game move as she wants it to.
"Your Highness is really very intelligent." After a while, Qingchen Gongzi seemed to have made up his mind, and he fell into a white place, and this game was already over, "Then, will Your Highness help the fleeing Gu brothers and sisters to eradicate the enemy?" ”
"You're wrong." Gong Yu slowly lowered a sunspot and said, "I not only want to eradicate the enemy for this pair of Gu brothers and sisters, but I also want to turn over this Ezhou poetry case and return their clan to innocence." ”
When Qingchen Gongzi came back to his senses, the chess game was decided.
His white son was trapped by the highness Kuroko.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When Gong Yu put on the hat again and left the bamboo house with the black-clothed youth, Qingchen Gongzi withdrew the chess game, and he made another cup of tea and placed it on the opposite side.
"How long are you going to stand outside the house?" Qingchen Gongzi sighed.
Hearing this, it was Yuhuan who entered the house.
At this moment, her fingers were slightly stiff, her cheeks were red from the cold, and she had obviously stood in the snow for a long time, "Brother, is what she said true?" She said she could overturn the case? Is she really willing to help us? Tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"She helps us, and it's only good for herself." Qingchen Gongzi said in a low voice: "It is needless to say that we can get the support of the forces of the rivers and lakes, and besides, among those who murdered us back then, there are also many people who need to be eradicated by Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
"So, even if we don't help her, she'll do it to those people?" Drunk Huan wondered.
"No, we're not going to say no. If she can tell us where we are, she already has enough leverage. ”
"Brother mean, is this not just a deal, or a threat?" Drunk Huan was surprised.
Qingchen Gongzi smiled but did not speak.
Zui Huan only felt a chill down his spine, and was silent for a long time before muttering, "She's so scary." ”
"If it's not terrible, how can she find out about you and me? I'm afraid that she has already laid out the situation for today's return to Shengjing in the past seven years. Rarely, there was a little respect and jealousy in the expression of this Qingchen boy. He muttered, "This Shengjing, it's about to start changing." ”
There was silence in the bamboo house,
I only heard Yu Huan and said: "Brother, I still don't understand something, why do you want to use the painting of King Gong as the ninth painting?" ”
"It's just that I was entrusted by someone to see the heart of Her Royal Highness the princess." There was some compassion in the eyes of the young man of Qingchen.
It seems that Her Royal Highness the princess has been trapped seven years ago.
"When the snow stops, you can send someone to give the painting to the princess." Qingchen Gongzi sighed: "She is also a poor person. ”
Zui Huan knew that he was not only pitying the princess, but also pitying themselves.
