After Yu Wenxing finished handling official business, he heard that Bai Yi was waiting for him to have dinner, so he moved quickly, bathed his hands, changed his clothes, and went to the painting hall to find his daughter - dinner was placed there, and the back garden of his house was full of flowers. Bai Yi pursed his lips and smiled, waiting for his father downstairs, as if he was only 8 years old. She pulled Yu Wenxing's sleeve and went upstairs, although she was clumsy, but she personally sandwiched the dishes and set the soup for her adoptive father, which had a slightly "decent" rudiment.

"My daughter, grown up." Yu Wenxing took the wine from the white clothes, his heart was full of joy and sorrow, and he held back his tears.

Bai Yi looked at his father's expression, and his heart was also stunned. These days, the father and daughter have not gotten along with each other, and suddenly came back from under the shroud of Hou Cong, and suddenly felt the love of Yu Wenxing for caring for himself. It seems that in the past 10 years, I have no heart, no lungs and no conscience, I have never come back to my senses from the death of the whole family, I have never faced my adoptive father, and I have taken it for granted. Bai Yi didn't want to have anything abnormal about herself, making her father even more sad, she smiled slightly, and put forward the idea that she had been thinking about for a long time: "Daddy, if I go to visit Deputy Chief Manager He, will there be any inconvenience?" ”

Yu Wenxing was stunned, knowing that this girl had been out for a few days, and she had learned badly with Hou Cong, and she had a big idea. She must have some careful plans, but now it is full of postures that she has no intention of talking to herself. I asked this question just because I was not familiar with the comings and goings of people and the customs of the court, and I was afraid of causing unexpected trouble.

Yu Wenxing pondered for a while, "You saved him, he came to give gifts, and it is common for you to go back and worship." What's more, my Yuwen family has served the Hou family for generations, and General Hou and Deputy General He are okay on the surface, and from this level, it doesn't hurt. ”

"Got it." Bai Yi nodded, as if the determination in his heart was even greater.

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren." Yu Wenxing persuaded himself.

In the dusk of spring, Bai Yi made some exquisite gifts for himself by his father, made a small sedan chair, and went south out of Huaping Lane to visit Eunuch He. The emperor's former celebrity was still recuperating at home, and when he heard that Bai Yi was coming, he said, "Ouch", "This is to collect debts." After tidying up Lisuo, he instructed his confidant apprentice to invite his benefactor in.

In the front hall, the little eunuchs took the gifts and retreated, leaving only Bai Yi and Deputy Chief He.

"White-clothed," Deputy Chief He said in the style of an elder, kind and patient, "Say, whatever you ask, one or two, I will do it for you." ”

Bai Yi smiled hard again, recalling how his brother mixed up in the scene, and typed a draft, "He Neixiang, you also know that I am a little stupid, if you say something wrong, you just don't hear it, everything is my idea, and it has nothing to do with my father and my brother." Even if I feel sorry for our Yuwen family. ”

Deputy Manager He smiled, "It's really flattering, don't worry." You saved my life. That's good, I remember. It's not bad to be wrong. ”

Bai Yi lowered his head again and sorted out his thoughts, and raised his head again, "Nine years ago, I knew that General Xiaohou had protected me once. Because the dragon chanted the prophecy of the moon shining on the flowers everywhere. ”

Although Deputy Manager He didn't expect this girl to mention this stubble, her smile did not disappear, and she was even a little curious: what did she want?

Bai Yi tilted his head and looked at Deputy Chief Manager He intently, without the slightest evasion: "My brother later explained to me why this prophecy caused a storm. More than 100 years ago, this world originally belonged to the Chen family, and the country name was Ping. Therefore, whether it is the monarch of the country or the monarch of the country, he has some scruples about Mr. Shuilong-related things. ”

Bai Yi once looked at the spring breeze in the boudoir and pondered for a long time: grandfather Bai Shen died, and the people under Bai Shen were still active.

"Mr. Water Dragon is dead, Mr. Water Dragon's disciple, he is not dead. What Mr. Shuilong learned during his lifetime should not be extinct. If so, you know. I want to see it. ”

Deputy Chief Manager He gasped, he was not afraid that Bai Yi would see his state of mind. He really didn't expect that this girl would come to this scene at this moment. The most terrifying thing is that in this matter, Bai Yi asked the right person: Taizu of this dynasty raised troops and snatched Mr. Shuilong's relics from the treasury of the Chen family's emperor. The Son of Heaven of all dynasties naturally knew about this matter from the first emperor, and then the confidant eunuchs of the Son of Heaven of all dynasties naturally became the custodians. - In case something happens to the emperor, the great eunuch is responsible for conveying this matter to the new monarch in time.

"Yes, yes," Deputy Chief He went out in order to repay his kindness, he really wanted to hear what Bai Yi wanted to do, "just lock his head in the palace."

"What is it?" Bai Yi asked.

"Girl, what do you want to do?" Deputy Director He asked.

The head of the white cloth was no longer crooked, and he sat solemnly and began to be silent.

Deputy Manager He has no children of his own, and his nephew did not grow up in front of him, and occasionally feels that he has no little apprentices. He is not familiar with the palace daughters in the palace, except for being an errand, he tries to deal with as little as possible. Bai Yi turned out to be the only girl he got along with for so many years. If only there was such a daughter or niece.

He thought about it, and his heart softened.

"It's a thin sheet music. The song is called "Water Dragon Song". ”

The piano and white clothes are not good at playing, and a few fingering exercises are practiced back and forth, and the simplest tunes can't be played. But I can still understand the piano score and memorize it. She also knew that Deputy Manager He had given herself a lot of face, and she took out her sincerity, which was equivalent to giving the truth, she got her clothes and belts, and she couldn't lie, so she had to spit out her biggest secret.

"General Xiaohou is the person in my spring boudoir dream."

Deputy Manager He let out a soft "ah" and shut up.

The fate of people is really strange, how could he, a eunuch, talk to a girl on such a spring twilight?

Bai Yi's face flushed, his cheeks were pink, and he was particularly cute, "Quanli Guo thinks that he is a big hero, and he is also a queen of a famous family." But he is not three-headed and six-armed. These days, I followed him to learn the rules of the barracks, and I felt that he had too many things to manage. The matter of going south is too dangerous, and everyone is tempted. The first time I heard him report his plan to the emperor, I felt that he was like a fairy. Not anymore. He will always encounter danger and problems. But I was too stupid to do anything for him. I pondered for a long time and remembered it. ”

Bai Yi paused, Fang Cai's hesitation was gone, revealing her firm look on the battlefield, "Everything related to the country and the country, in front of you, concretely, is His Royal Highness Mo Chang; The long-term and grand ones are the prophecies of the moonlight flowers everywhere in the dragon and everything left by Mr. Water Dragon. I'm ready to start with this, understand it, learn it, no matter how stupid I am. I-"

Bai Yi didn't continue. Because of the latter words, Deputy Chief He has already understood.

The girl killer in front of him, as long as he pinched any bit of news related to the fortunes of the country, he would no longer be just a pawn. Anytime, with a little bit of trouble, she will have the opportunity to help her sweetheart turn the tables.

"That's good", Deputy Manager He didn't believe what he said, "I understand." I'll help you. He summoned the most trusted and clever little eunuch and asked him to bring white clothes and change into the clothes of a palace daughter. He sent a carriage to send the white clothes away, passed through the vermilion tall palace gate, quietly stepped on the point of passing dinner in the palace, passed through the high eaves of the palaces that pressed people to raise their heads, and arrived at the emperor's private small treasury behind the Guixiang Palace.

Here, there is a team of forbidden troops guarding it, but the only people who can enter and exit freely, send things, and take things are Deputy Chief He and the people under him. The little eunuch said, "Take something," and opened the door with a big key under the nose of the captain of the forbidden army, and went in with the white clothes. The night was falling, and no one suspected it, only regarded Bai Yi as the girl who served Deputy Chief He in his private house.

The storeroom looks small, but when you go in, it's unexpectedly big. Afraid of fire here, the little eunuch lit a small hand lamp with a glass cover, walked behind the white clothes, quietly, and was indeed well-trained. As soon as you enter the door, you will see two stairs up and down, both bronze, above and below, there are dozens of rows of large shelves almost two people high, and the cages and jars are placed on them, marked with goose yellow sticks.

The little eunuch motioned to the white clothes to go down, and the two of them came to the deepest corner, on the bottom row of shelves, there was a rough wooden box alone, and when it was opened, there were only two mothballs, and a thin booklet was the score of "Water Dragon Yin".

The white clothes held their hands in the air, picking and wiping and twisting, trying to write them down. The little eunuch went about his own business—he had to really pack up something and take it out for the forbidden army to see.

Bai Yi remembered it, and the little eunuch took it personally, re-got it, and gave half of the things he was holding to Bai Yi, and took her out. "Girl," his voice was gentle and appropriate, "let's go out in a while, you will follow me, I am the apprentice of Deputy Chief He, no one asks, and no one stops." I'll take you around the palace, where you can. We don't have to talk, when we get out, if there's anything you don't understand, you ask me. You are going to Chengguo to do big things, and when you go to Chengguo, you always have to enter the palace. The palaces of the two countries are said to be exactly the same. You walk here and go there, and you're prepared, and you can't say when it's going to be useful, right? ”

Bai Yi looked at him and nodded. She listened to him, watched him lock the door, bid farewell to the forbidden army, and took her generous skirt around the palace again.

On the carriage back, Bai Yi asked him why he was like this.

"Hey, the slave is the one who is trained by the master, and the girl saved the master, and she is the benefactor of the slave. What's such a small idea? The best thing is that you are auspicious, safe and sound, and you don't need anything. The minion is waiting for you to come back from the south and pour you tea and snacks, then I will be happy! ”

The little eunuch smiled, as if he didn't take it seriously.

Bai Yi's heart was sour.

In this world, there are always these unexpected and precious, kindness and tenderness. It was something she hadn't thought about before.

was about to die, and all of this came to him.

She lifted the curtain of the carriage and let the evening breeze blow, the lights of thousands of homes were lit up in Datong City, and the streets were full of people who were busy going home. The farther away from the palace, the more pedestrians there are. Upstairs on both sides, new tiles and old tiles, stacked layer by layer, the moonlight flowed down, mixed into the red dust.

It's good to be alive.
