Chapter 63 │ Cold Valley
In the autumn of the third year of Xuanwu.
Mandala flowers, or paint ink like a prison, or crimson like fat, or pure white like snow, from a distance, all over the mountains and valleys, are ethereal clouds and smoke like flowers.
The mighty royal guard of honor set off from Jinxiao City and arrived at the cold valley on the outskirts of the city, it was already afternoon.
"Your Majesty, don't go any further, this valley is full of mandala flowers, mandala flowers are poisonous and hallucinating, and they are harmful to the dragon's body."
The accompanying imperial physician only glanced at it, and then risked his life to stop the holy car, Jiang Mobai, who was sitting in the soft sedan chair, frowned, he smelled a fragrance of flowers.
With a lift of his hand, he lifted half of the curtain: "Is there any way to pass?" ”
Someone rode a white horse by the side of the sedan chair, wearing a dark bat dark pattern cloak, white ink boots, a bronze long sword wrapped around the snake, a handsome silhouette, eyes like an eagle, sharp can cut thousands of troops and horses.
"Your Majesty, you repair a book, and I will go on your behalf."
The man with the sword, named Ouyang Yunshu, is a master of the rivers and lakes in the royal secret guard.
Jiang Mobai thought about it, looking at this mountain poison barrier, his sister refused to associate with outsiders from the bottom of her heart, but if she couldn't take her back to the palace, wouldn't this mighty guard of honor return empty, wouldn't it make him lose face as an emperor?
Ouyang Yunshu waited outside the sedan chair for a long time, and didn't see any movement from Jiang Mobai, just wanted to ask, then heard Jiang Mobai call the chief manager of the inner Kang Lu and said: "Proposed order, there are eight vacancies in the imperial dining room in the palace, and now I hear that the masters of the dining room of the Xicheng restaurant are like clouds, and eight people in Turner make up for the vacancy in the imperial dining room, and the monthly salary is doubled, Qin this, and, Kang Lu, you bring a thousand taels of silver to the restaurant owner, and tell him that I will reward him with a gold plaque in the near future, and pick eight cooks to go to the palace dining room to take up their posts quickly." ”
Kang Lu was stunned: "Your Majesty, you are ......"
Ouyang Yunshu suddenly smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you have done enough, and you are not afraid that the eldest princess will be angry and compete with you." ”
Jiang Mobai walked out of the sedan chair and said to Ouyang Yunshu with some pride: "Don't worry, even if she competes with me for a lifetime, she will not compete with the master of Xicheng Restaurant, you just go and spread my words, just say that I have invited eight cooks from Xicheng Restaurant to welcome the eldest princess back to the palace." ”
"Is this okay?" Ouyang Yunshu looked around and asked Jiang Mobai quietly, Jiang Mobai was confident, but when he looked at the mountains and flowers, his voice suddenly became sad: "It's okay to let her go back to the palace this time, but the days will be sad in the future...... She had to get revenge. ”
"Your Majesty," Ouyang Yunshu's gaze was quite pitying, "take care." ”
For some reason, Jiang Mobai always felt that Ouyang Yunshu had a hint of ridicule in his eyes, and he felt bitter in his heart, sure enough, his sister's existence was not a fuel-efficient lamp, such as himself, such as Ouyang Yunshu.
Sympathy.
Jiang Mobai looked up to the sky and sighed.
In the cold valley, the wind swept by the flowers, and the sound of horses' hooves shattered the tranquility of this side.
The beauty on the swing drowning in the sea of flowers, wearing a moon white lotus pattern mist skirt, no decorations, no fat powder, a drop of red lotus between the eyebrows, vomiting cold, phoenix eyes flowing, jade lips lightly picked, and called the maid who picked flowers on the side: "Wen Yu, it seems that there is a guest coming." ”
"It must be the emperor again." Wen Yu put down the flower basket in her hand, raised her head and asked following the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, "Miss, the emperor has moved everyone to come this time, if he returns empty-handed, I am afraid that he will lose face." ”
"He came to him, and I didn't let him come," the woman looked up, "what about the bracelet?" ”
Wen Yu shook her head and said, "I don't know, it seems that I went out early in the morning." ”
The woman guessed: "I guess I'm going to find Tai Chi Ling again, and I don't know what news I can have this time." ”
Wen Yu looked at the woman on the swing, and sighed faintly in her heart, it has been almost four years, and the young lady in front of her is hiding in this paradise and living leisurely, and she no longer has the deep boudoir jasper in Jinxiao Imperial City in her bones.
And in the memory of Changling City, probably no one remembers that in this Beiling Dynasty, there is also the only little princess of the first emperor - the eldest princess of Fuling, Jiang Qingluo.
On the Canglong Mountain Range, a blood-red cloak bracelet was shuttling through the endless dead forest, and now, she was only a short distance away from the whereabouts of Tai Chi Ling.
There is an unwritten fighting law conference on the rivers and lakes, known as the Jianghu Festival, once every three years, each competition is between the young sons to compete for a high and low, three years ago, won the first Youlong Villa in the rivers and lakes, not long ago was slaughtered all over the door, there was a teenager down the mountain passing by, picked up the token of Youlong Villa - Tai Chi Ling, and saw the appearance of the murderer with his own eyes, it is said that the murderer was dressed in ink clothes, wearing a mask, but since then, Tai Chi Ling disappeared in the rivers and lakes, the legendary teenager has no news, many people say, The boy who held the Tai Chi Order had been killed by the murderer, however, the ghost bracelet did not think so.
The dead forest passed through, and the last yellow leaves struggling on the branches also fell.
The cliff in front of him was empty, and the person who the flying pigeon had passed down that he wanted to see here did not appear, and the ghost bracelet stood in the wind and snow, holding the jade fingers of the long whip into a fist, and the evil qi burst out.
Dare to play Lao Tzu! I'm tired of it!
In this dazzling light, she vaguely saw a red star flashing in the snow on the edge of the cliff, she retracted her whip and walked away, carefully brushing away the vast layer of snow, only to see a Pisces lotus pattern gold inlaid white jade pendant lying quietly in the snow, and the red knot of the jade pendant was not completely soaked.
He came, but didn't he want to tell her everything to her face?
The bracelet picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully - the gold inlaid jade is still a good mutton fat white jade, and it is not like an ordinary person's thing.
Moreover, there is a line of small characters engraved on the back of the jade pendant, and after reading the bracelet, he decided to go back to the cold valley to ask Jiang Qingluo first.
On the jujube red blood-colored sweat horse, the young man in white clothes is better than snow, like a fairy, wearing a half-golden mask on his face, revealing almond-like watery eyes, crimson thin lips, in a trance, the mountains and rivers are discolored, and even the demonic petals between the bushes under him are incomparable.........
"Who's coming?" As soon as the bracelet approached the gate of the courtyard of the Cold Valley, he saw someone coming on a horse not far away.
The young man in white raised his head when he heard the sound, and suddenly his eyes lit up, as bright as stars, he waved his hand to the bracelet and shouted, "Bracelet, it's me!" ”
The blood-like pupils of the bracelet shrank suddenly, and the voice was so familiar.
"Feng Chengyu?" Bracelet watched the young man take off his mask and gallop closer on horseback, Bracelet put away his whip and waited for Feng Chengyu's arrival.
She hasn't heard from Feng Chengyu for a long time, and she still has many questions to ask him when they meet him this time.
The Jianghu Event, held once every three years, gathers the leading figures in the rivers and lakes to compete and aspire to change the ranking of the Jianghu rankings.
Champion, Bangyan, Tanhua.
There is hardly much change, Ouyang Yunshu's swordsmanship is exquisite, he has been on the list for a long time, and there is a Qingxuan bow and arrow behind Feng Chengyu, which is pervasive, and he has done it lightly, and he has long occupied Tanhua.
But for some reason, two years ago, Feng Chengyu and Ouyang Yunshu both entered the palace to serve the royal secret guard, and no one knew why.
"Look, bracelet, this mask is the same as Xuan Gongzi's, it was given to you, it is sold on the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to grab one." Feng Chengyu dismounted and handed the bracelet to you.
Xuan Gongzi is the murderer of the Youlong Villa extermination case, the people in the rivers and lakes have not seen him, so he can only obtain such a name for him, just because the victory of Youlong Villa was not above board, which caused many people in the martial arts to be dissatisfied, even if Xuan Gongzi did not do it, someone would do it sooner or later.
The bracelet took it and looked at it, and sighed helplessly: "I haven't seen you for two years, I thought you could be a little promising, but I don't want to be so playful." ”
"You don't know, it's interesting in the palace, it's delicious, fun and there's a good show," Feng Chengyu put his arm on the shoulder of the bracelet without seeing it, "This time the emperor will take you back, and in the future, we will watch the play and drink together, like a fairy life." ”
"What do you say! The emperor is coming? The bracelet was shocked, and then I knew why I saw Feng Chengyu at this time, and he came up with the emperor.
Feng Chengyu studied under his father Feng Yuanshan, the bracelet is a disciple of the Feng family, the Feng family is alone in the world, the bracelet and Feng Chengyu are even more indistinguishable, before Feng Chengyu said the next sentence, he only felt that his hand was empty, where was the figure of the bracelet.
