Chapter 166: The Black Locust Tree
Starlight casts mottled light and shadow through the glass window of Yu Wei's bedroom, Xingli sits quietly in front of her bed, although Yu Wei's face has recovered a lot, but her thin face makes people look particularly pityful.
It's only been more than half a month, and Yu Wei has become so thin, he is clenching his fists hard, or his own ability is not good, otherwise how could Yu Wei be hurt like this?
A sigh sounded from inside the house, Xingli was startled, and hurriedly looked around, but there was nothing unusual, Yuwei was still sleeping quietly, and her delicate facial features looked particularly charming under the dim light.
Xingli looked at it stupidly, and another sigh sounded in Xingli's ears, it was so clear!
"Who is it?" Xingli quickly stood up, staring ahead vigilantly, and found a gray figure floating towards Yuwei.
He hurriedly pulled out the dagger on his waist, the black dagger with fine light was inlaid with a diamond-shaped opal, which was the only relic left by his father, and it was also the ancestral treasure of his father's family, he pointed at the gray figure with the dagger and said in a deep voice: "In my hand is the world-famous evil dagger, no matter where you are sacred, you will only be wiped out by it!" ”
"If you kill me, you will destroy her!" A fluttering voice came, "I've been waiting for her for fifty years, and I haven't been able to see her again!" ”
"Who the hell are you?" Xingli's eyes were fixed on the gray figure, and he had vaguely guessed the identity of this figure in his heart.
"You're still as smart as in your previous life, and the flying machine you built is unmatched, but what's the use of being smart? You're going to have to leave her eventually! The fluttering voice was intermittent, but it still couldn't hide the envy and helplessness in the voice.
"Nonsense!" There was an inexplicable tremor in Xingli's voice, all he was thinking about was Yu Wei, how could he leave her!
"Maybe!" The gray figure began to blur, "My ancestral hall has been built, I can't wait for the moment when she wakes up!" ”
There was another long sigh, "I can't see her in my life, but I still rushed here from Mengbei Snow Mountain, thousands of miles away!" The staccato voice was full of melancholy, as if telling his grievances.
"Mengbei Snow Mountain?" Xingli was shocked, Mengbei Snow Mountain was extremely cold all year round, and no one could live there except for the god operator.
"I'm a god operator, and I continue my life just to wait for Yuwei after being reborn, but it's a pity that ......" The gray shadow became fainter and fainter, as if it was about to disappear into the void at any time.
"It's a pity that you didn't get to see Yuwei?" Xingli's voice was filled with vinegar, and he suddenly remembered a friend in his previous life, a friend who could call the wind and rain and get rid of the plague, but that friend was not good at talking, and just silently stayed by his side and the Queen of the Earth.
"yes!" The gray shadow had almost melted into the air, leaving only a faint voice wafting in the air, "I had already calculated that she had such an ordeal, so I cultivated desperately and became the Body of the Sun, just to relieve her of today's danger!" ”
"Is the body of the sunshine refined?"
"Yes!" The voice of the shadow sounded again after a long time, "The blood of the Supreme Yang is the greatest treasure in the world, how can it flow in the body of ordinary people, I also occasionally get a secret recipe, after seven hundred and forty-nine years of difficult cultivation, I have become the famous Supreme Yang Body!" ”
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Bai Xi's voice sounded outside the door, "Steward Zhou is here, saying that he brought the skilled craftsman that His Royal Highness the Prince asked him to find!" ”
"Got it!" Xingli replied impatiently, still searching for the shadow that had disappeared into the air.
"Don't look for it!" A voice from a hundred miles away reached his ears, "The ancestral hall has been repaired, and I should return to my place, I have a word for you, and it is not in vain that we have met once." ”
"Speak!" Xingli bowed respectfully in the direction of Mengbei Snow Mountain, his heart full of gratitude to this old friend.
"The fate of the past life is the end of the previous life, and happiness and suffering are not disturbed. The past life is the end of the next life, and they are disturbed and wandering! The sound of the faint mosquito and fly finally disappeared into the void, and Xingli tapped his hand on his somewhat confused head, his face full of doubt.
"Her Royal Highness Hong Shizi, Her Majesty the Queen has asked someone to bring ginseng soup to Miss Yuwei!"
Xingli took a breath of air, tugged at his clothes twice, and opened the stone door of the bedroom and walked out.
"His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!" Steward Zhou walked over with a smile on his face, and he finally looked forward to the day when he came into contact with Hong Shizi.
"Why are there so many people?" Xingli frowned tightly and looked at the various people standing in Yuwei's courtyard in confusion.
"These are carpenters, these are masons, these are cartographers, these are ......"
"Leave the mason behind!" Before Steward Zhou could finish his introduction, Xingli interrupted his reply, he just wanted to build a pond in the yard for Yuwei, what do you want so many people to do?
"The old slave obeys!" Steward Zhou immediately pointed to the crowd and said, "A few of you stay, and the rest will leave immediately!"
"Wait!" Xingli suddenly said, "Is there a gardener here?"
"Gardener?" Steward Zhou was stunned when he heard this, and immediately said with a smile: "There is a ready-made florist in the palace, and the old slave will pass it on, but I don't know what flowers His Royal Highness Hong Shizi wants to plant?"
Xingli pointed to the south side of the courtyard and said, "I'm going to build a lotus pond over there, and here," he pointed to the stone table in the courtyard, "Plant a black locust tree for His Highness near the stone table, I wonder if I can find a flowering black locust?" ”
"Flowering black locust?" Steward Zhou was stunned, he had been a housekeeper in the Ferrand Mansion for nearly ten years, and he had never heard of the black locust tree.
"How?" Xingli's voice sank, "Can't you find it?" ”
"No, no!" Steward Zhou immediately replied flatteringly: "The old slave will go back and send someone to look for it, and he must plant the black locust tree in the courtyard before dawn." After that, he glanced at the mason who was digging the lotus pond, and then walked out with the others.
"Master!" Liu Tiannian looked at Steward Zhou's thunderous appearance in the house, and walked over cautiously, he only heard that the master received the errand of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, but he didn't expect the master to come back with a sad face.
"You kid doesn't sleep, what are you doing here?" Steward Zhou glanced at Liu Tiannian angrily.
Just now he went to find a florist, and the florist told him that he had never seen a black locust, and the news was like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.
If he couldn't find the black locust tree before dawn, how could he still hold his head up in front of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi!
"If the master has any troubles, tell the apprentice!" Liu Tiannian looked at Steward Zhou with a shy smile.
"It's useless to tell you!" Steward Zhou glanced at him disdainfully, "His Royal Highness Hong Shizi wants to find a flowering black locust tree, but no one has ever seen what it is!" ”
"Black locust?" Liu Tiannian's eyes lit up when he listened, he remembered that there were a few inconspicuous big trees in Mao Ge's old mansion, but they were just fragrant when they bloomed.
"Why, you've seen it!" Steward Zhou looked at Liu Tiannian's expression and was overjoyed.
"When the apprentice came to Ge Laofu last year, he saw a few trees with small white flowers, and his memory was very clear because the flowers were pleasant, but he was ......"
"Just what?" Steward Zhou looked at Liu Tiannian's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and his heart rose to his throat.
"It's just that who dares to go to the Pavilion Old Mansion in the middle of the night to move trees?" Liu Tiannian lowered his face and muttered quietly.
"Hahaha." Steward Zhou laughed and patted Liu Tiannian's shoulder and said: "Today's Pavilion Mansion is not what it used to be, not to mention moving a tree, even if he lifts his house, he doesn't dare to say anything!" ”
"Then the villain will do it!" Liu Tiannian was overjoyed when he heard this, this was a good opportunity for him to stand up and make his position clear.
"Go, go!" Steward Zhou's wrinkled face blossomed, "This time I will give you this monkey cub a great credit, and when the new king ascends the throne in the future, I will make a good deal for you!" ”
"Thank you, master!" Liu Tiannian hurriedly slammed to the ground, yesterday he was still worried about his little life, but he didn't expect that today he would fall from the sky with a chance to soar.
"Go, go!"
"Apprentice obeys!" Liu Tiannian hurriedly rushed out of the small courtyard.
When he stepped on the night and came to the red lacquered gate of the old mansion again, the old mansion was already silent, he looked up at the stars in the sky, his face was full of spirit, just after midnight, he must complete the errand assigned by the master before dawn.
"Open the door!" Several guards banged on the door, and there was a sound of panicked footsteps, and the square hole in the gate was opened.
"Look, open the door!" Before the porter could speak, one of the guards shouted at him.
Soon, the door opened, and the guards pushed the pale porter aside, and walked in around Liu Tiannian as if no one was around.
The beheaded Mao Jianfan's family is the younger brother of Mao Ge Lao, and the guards have already discussed it in private, and they concluded that Mao Ge Lao is the next Mao Jianfan, and I am afraid that I am going to do it when I come here today, so I don't need to talk about any rules, just rush in.
Liu Tiannian walked straight to the direction of the black locust tree with the guards, and before he could get there, he saw the white-haired Mao Ge Lao and the guards in the house coming over in a panic.
"Lord Liu!" Mao Ge Lao was shocked when he saw Liu Tiannian, he just reminded him to be vigilant when he reported the news in the early morning, why did he personally bring someone to raid his house at night?
"Nice old man!" Liu Tiannian bowed slightly with a smile, "The villain brought people here with no intention of disturbing the pavilion elder, and I hope that the pavilion elder will bear with me!" ”
Mao Ge Lao couldn't help frowning when he looked at the fierce and vicious guards standing beside Liu Tiannian, it seemed that they didn't have the queen's decree to raid the house, the night was dark, and the people in the house had already fallen asleep, why did they toss like this?
"Don't think too much!" Liu Tiannian looked at Mao Ge Lao's ever-changing expression, walked in and leaned into his ear and said: "His Royal Highness Hong Shizi wants a black locust tree, this is a good time for the Pavilion Elder to respect His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, as long as he can climb the big tree of His Royal Highness Hong Shizi, isn't the Pavilion Elder still firmly sitting in the position of the patriarch of the Three Dynasties!"
"Why do you want a black locust tree?" Elder Mao Ge was confused, could a black locust tree fulfill the wish of the elders of his three dynasties?
"Elder Ge thinks about it carefully, who else can Hong Shizi be for if he is not for the country?"
"Oh, yes, yes!" Mao Ge replied busily that his younger brother was beheaded by the whole family because of that woman, but maybe he would also be out of danger because of that woman.
"Yun Peng!" As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man with a hunched back walked out of the crowd of onlookers.
"Master Ge!" Yun Peng lowered his head and slowly walked in front of Old Mao Ge.
"You moved these black locust trees from the south, you follow Lord Liu to take a look, and pick a flower flourishing to move to the palace!"
"Yes!"
Yun Peng led Liu Tiannian and his group towards the black locust tree, thinking in his heart that this was a good opportunity for him to enter the palace, and this time he must find out Yu Wei's exact whereabouts.
