Chapter 451: Ding Furnace, Killing Weapon, Poison
Not long after Wen Zhen and Lan Yi went out, Yan Sui also went out.
Before going out, he went to Wen Zhen's room to take a look, for fear of alarming her, he didn't enter the door, and saw that the tent was halfway down, the quilt was raised high, and Cai Sang dozed off in front of the bed, so he retreated.
Then he put on his coat and went out silently with his guards.
Under the guidance of the dark pile, avoiding the soldiers who patrolled the night, he actually went in the direction of the family temple, but he walked to a cemetery behind the family temple, stopped in front of an old tomb, Chinese picked up a scattered white bone, and knocked on the remnant of the monument a few times.
There were a few knocks back, and then the grave was suddenly opened, and a swarthy head poked out, grinning.
It was quite frightening to see such a scene in the midnight cemetery, and the Chinese rolled their eyes angrily.
The man sat at the head of the grave, beckoned ghostly, and floated down, Yan Sui also followed, but the bottom was not dirty and dirty as imagined, on the contrary, it was very clean, and the furnishings were exquisite, like a normal house, the inner and outer study rooms were repaired, and there were piano, chess, calligraphy and paintings in the study. A man in a green shirt is sitting in front of a bookcase painting, and it is vaguely visible that the painting is a beauty.
The man was skinny and pale, and he could not tell his age, and he could say that he was twenty or thirty, or thirty or forty. Seeing Yan Sui come in, he didn't raise his head, and he didn't put down his pen until he finished the last stroke, carefully dried the painting, and carefully rested it on the side case.
Yan Sui didn't speak, and sat on the side to watch him finish painting, and the man who brought them in crossed his legs and said, "Your Highness, what's the matter, looking at this scene, your conscience is uneasy?" ”
Yan Sui glanced at him strangely, the man's hands were closed, and he suddenly said, "Ah, I was wrong, how can Your Highness be uneasy?" Your Highness doesn't have a conscience. It's ridiculous that I thought that His Highness had a woman, and seeing these things again would touch my bowels a little bit. ”
Chinese frowned and said, "Zeng Bufan, you have less yin and yang weirdness." How can you blame Your Highness for your father's affairs, you should have shut up your stinky mouth after complaining for so many years. ”
Zeng Bufan snorted and stopped talking, but in Chinese he said to Yan Sui: "Your Highness doesn't care about him, in fact, he is also a personality." ”
Yan Sui paced over to look at those figure paintings, Zeng Bufan also leaned over, and pointed and said: "Your Highness, look, the eldest prince's paintings are getting better and better?" This character is lifelike, and at first glance you know that it is the kind that is always engraved in your heart, and it is as vivid as if you see it with your own eyes every day. ”
Chinese watched from the sidelines, first deeply understood, and then sighed in his heart, feeling that something was wrong, and couldn't help but look at Yan Sui.
This eldest son, naturally the eldest son of the Tang family, the heir of the Tang family's earlier justification, once fell in love with a young lady of the Changchuan Yi family, but later the marriage went wrong, the two sides were evil, and a pair of lovers were naturally separated, but the eldest prince of Tang was a lover, and after this blow, he acted more rebelliously, and gradually lost his status as the heir and was replaced by Tang Xianzhi.
This matter was written by Yan Sui back then, and the Chinese knew it, and later this Tang Grand Duke gradually became a little unconscious, and was transferred to the family temple to recuperate, which was actually equivalent to being banished, but over the years, under Yan Sui's instructions, he did not give up this former heir of the Tang family in the line in northern Sichuan, and the life of Qing Xiu in the family temple was mostly hard, and Yan Sui's people took care of this Tang Grand Duke privately for many years, and even opened this secret room behind the family temple for him to recuperate and miss that Miss Yi, Tang Dagongzi gradually got used to the care of everyone, and didn't seem to know that these people were actually the initiators of his fall.
He was under house arrest in the family temple for many years, and his daily routine was to paint, painting his sweetheart who was no longer available. When the Chinese side saw it, they only felt that this painting was more delicate and realistic than the painting that was passed over from northern Sichuan back then, and at first thought it was a painting technique, but at this moment they couldn't help but think about it.
After all, Zeng Bufan seems to be unreliable, but he rarely talks nonsense.
The nature of Zeng Bufan's relationship with Yan Sui is different. Zeng Bufan's father, Zeng Huai, was once the highest-level spy sent by Yan Sui, and he was mixed up in the Tang family until he held an important position in Dingyang, but after Tang Xian's trip to Wuhai that year, he was imprisoned and beheaded by the Tang family on charges of dereliction of duty. Afterwards, Yan Sui speculated that Zeng Huai's identity should have been exposed, and he was killed under the pretext, and later he had a debate with Wen Zhen about whether to take back Zeng Huai's children.
After that, Yan Sui followed Wen Zhen's request and gave the Zeng family's children the right to make their own decisions. Two sons of the Zeng family returned to Dongtang, and another son and a daughter stayed, willing to continue to work for the court and avenge their father.
In this situation, Chinese admires Zeng Bufan, even if he is poisonous, sloppy, and respectful.
Yan Sui looked at the painting, but didn't say anything, Tang Dagongzi suddenly put the painting away, and said solemnly: "Go, don't look at my painting that is dirty." ”
No one would care about a half-crazy person, but Yan Sui said: "People may not be clean, and they are afraid of dirty paintings." ”
When the eldest prince of Tang heard this, he was anxious, Huo Ran stood up, and said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense." Yun Wan loves cleanliness, and must wash several times a day and change her clothes several times a day......"
He suddenly stopped talking, Yan Sui looked at him quietly, and said, "How do you know?" ”
Tang Dagongzi sighed: "Of course I remember everything. ”
Yan Sui ignored him anymore and asked Zeng Bufan: "Are you ready?" ”
Zeng Bufan grinned and said, "It's almost inseparable!" The location is clear, the route is clear, just wait for your masters and tools, hey, you know, northern Sichuan has been too tightly controlled recently! Bringing an iron spoon on your body will be confiscated! ”
Yan Sui nodded. Zeng Bufan clapped his hands, and walked out of a few tall and short people, Zeng Bufan said: "They are all the old people we worked hard to find, and they have been favored by the eldest son." One worked as a barn soldier in the armory, one fed the horses in the horse farm, and one had relatives in the grain and grass storehouse. There is also an in-law with the official of the Tang City Patrol Division, and they can all be used. ”
He approached Yan Sui again and said in a low voice, "We have given enough money over the years, and we have a small family in our hands, don't worry." ”
Yan Sui snorted, and one person stepped forward to lead the way, and several people came out of the grave, and the Chinese turned around and saw Grand Duke Tang spreading out his drawing paper again.
As soon as Yan Sui came out, the figure flashed in the night, and the elite he brought also showed his figure, and the group followed the passer-by, silently climbed over the mountains, and walked the remote path, until they reached a hill, standing on the hill and looking down, Zeng Bufan pointed to the left and said: "That is the horse farm." Then he pointed to the right, "Over there is a grain storehouse." He then pointed to an iron-black fortress farther in between, "where most of the ordnance is located." But most of them are iron guys, they can't be dragged away and burned, and the tight defense is unprecedented, and the army can't help it. We have few manpower and time is tight, so I suggest starting with the horse farm, which has fewer troops and is easy to mess up. ”
Chinese also nodded, although there are three pieces of fat, but at most you can only bite the next bite, naturally you have to pick up the easiest to get.
He stared at the side of Yan Sui in the dark, thinking that His Royal Highness had to venture through northern Sichuan to make trouble, ordinary people must have thought that he was stupid, he was cooked by the imperial court like this, and he was still conscientiously helping to deal with the gate valve? A few people can guess that he is for Master Wen.
Judging from the setting of the grain and grass armory in northern Sichuan, it is close to the Chuanjiang River, an important river area in northern Sichuan, and the Chuanjiang River goes down to the south and flows to Huzhou.
If the Tang family really wants to raise troops, they must first start a war from Ping, Hu, Ding, and Sanzhou!
And Huzhou has a different meaning for Lord Wen, and the Huzhou army has been temporarily withdrawn, once it falls into the iron hoof, Lord Wen will be sad and angry, and he will have to drive thousands of miles, but how can His Royal Highness want Lord Wen to be in danger?
In this case, he took the risk and put out the dangerous fire for her.
Chinese sighed in his heart.
Every wish of His Royal Highness is an oath that has never been uttered as evidenced by iron-blooded mountains and seas, and I hope Lord Wen can understand.
He looked at Yan Sui, who stared at the darkness in front of him and said, "That's the horse farm." ”
Chinese breathe a sigh of relief, and the horse farm is simple.
Zeng Bufan's eyes showed excitement.
The horse feeder of the horse farm quietly went back, and after a while, a faint light flickered below, which was a sign that there was nothing to do.
Chinese waved his hand, and several black-clothed people swept down the mountain silently.
Yan Sui suddenly beckoned to Chinese, Chinese passed, Yan Sui stretched out his hand, Chinese immediately took out the kerchief willingly, Zeng Bufan saw it, snorted disdainfully, turned his head and walked away.
When Chinese handed the kerchief to Yan Sui's palm, he heard Yan Sui order a few words in a very low voice.
He looked up with surprise in his eyes, but then hid it and lowered his head.
……
Lan Yi found that she couldn't get rid of Tang Muzhi's heel.
Because she has all the animals in the world to be her scouts.
So when she arrived at the inn, she reluctantly stopped and found that she had brought her rival to Yan Sui's side.
This made her very unwilling, and she was about to change directions and continue walking, when she suddenly saw a figure flash in the upstairs window, and a person swept out, looking like Lin Qing.
In the middle of the night, where did Lin Qing go?
She saw it, Tang Muzhi naturally saw it, she reacted faster than Lan Yi, and immediately rushed into the floor where Lin Qing was and took a turn, and found that no one was there.
Her face was pale.
In the middle of the night, these troublemakers appeared in northern Sichuan, and then none of them were gone, is this going to attack the Tang family?
They're too bold, aren't they?
I thought that they dared to cross the guts from northern Sichuan, but I didn't expect that the courage of these people was not something that normal people could imagine.
Tang Muzhi slapped his palm on the back of Lan Yi, who was still stunned, without hesitation.
Whatever you're here for, solve one first!
Lan Yi fell down with a grunt. Tang Muzhi carried her and threw her casually into Lin Qing's room, turned around and chased after Lin Qing's figure.
She didn't know what she was going to do, she was in a mess, she didn't want the Tang family to be poisoned by these people, nor did she want these people, especially Yan Sui, to die under the encirclement and suppression of the Tang family. I had to take one step at a time.
She kept following Lin Qing and went to the west of the city, seeing that several black-clothed figures gradually gathered behind Lin Qing, the more she walked, the more frightened she became, because that direction was gradually deserted and controlled, which was where the Tang family's armory was located.
And Lin Qing was very vigilant, as if she had noticed something, she was stunned, and she lost his figure.
Tang Muzhi stopped and didn't continue to chase, she guessed that Lin Qing was going to the armory, which made her feel numb.
Since Lin Qing went there, what about Yan Sui? Is Yan Sui also there?
Listening to Lan Yi's tone, Wen Zhen seemed to have gone to Tang City, why weren't these two together?
Is the Tang family prepared for tonight?
His brother, who has everything in mind, has been staying in Tang City recently, what is his plan?
She was wandering, suddenly heard the rustling footsteps behind her, as if a large group of people were approaching, she turned around vigilantly, and saw a black sedan chair at the end of the darkness, and a person in the sedan chair lifted the sedan curtain and smiled at her.
She was so shocked that her pupils dilated.
"Father!"
……
In Tang City, Wen Zhen took a deep breath when he heard that question.
After a while, she said with a smile: "Mr. Tang is a smart person, why do you always ask questions that you know will not have answers?" ”
Tang Xianzhi said calmly: "There will be no answer before, but after today, it may not be." ”
Wen Zhen sighed in his heart, but Tang Xianzhi stretched out his hand to invite: "Since you have come to northern Sichuan, how can you not taste local specialties?" ”
As soon as his voice fell, the corridor sprinkled soft lights, but if you look closely, it is a night pearl embedded in the dust, which is covered by the treasure cover on weekdays, and when the treasure cover is removed, the pearl light is soft and lush, like countless gentle evening moons hanging above the head.
On the front desk of the fan-shaped piano, a few plum blossoms are faintly spitting. I don't know when a snow dolomite table appeared in front of the table, two cloud platform embroidered piers were placed opposite each other, and a line of maids in green clothes served the food silently. The color of their clothes is simple, but the material is noble, and the faint pearl under the light reflects the pearl between the black hair, and the face is also like beautiful jade.
Wen Zhen only realized at this time that although the winter is severe and the lake should be colder, the inside of this small building is as warm as spring, and the ground is warm through the hearts of his feet, and it is obvious that there is a ground dragon in the whole building.
There is a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the distance, Ziying Aoi swaying with the wind, the man in white in front of him is slim and jade, like a cloud like a fairy, the starlight in his smiling eyes is also drunk and the lake water is also clear, the atmosphere is peaceful, like a dream and poetry.
Wen Zhen wanted to tear it up in a mess.
There must be a big pit tonight.
She's leaving.
But the people in front of her are like heavenly people, but the heavenly people are doing heavenly demons, so it's strange that Tang Xianzhi gave her away.
Didn't he personally come forward to do all these tricks just to keep her?
Wen Zhen smiled on her face, her heart was thinking quickly, her eyes unconsciously wandered between the dishes in front of her and the maidservant, the people were beautiful and the dishes were fragrant, she admired it, but in fact, she didn't see it, and suddenly she was stunned.
A maid with a soup cup suddenly winked at her quietly.
……
Tang Muzhi looked at the people in the sedan chair in surprise in the dark and sparse forest.
The man in the sedan chair walked out unhurriedly, Tang Xiaocheng, the head of the Tang family who ruled the three states of northern Sichuan for nearly 30 years, had a handsome face, a pair of eyes with light color, but deep eyes, clear Sichuan lines in the eyebrows, obviously thoughtful, and his eyes were habitually bent when looking at people, but they seemed soft.
Tang Muzhi subconsciously twitched his eyebrows, and suddenly understood why he didn't like Wen Zhen at first sight.
The smile in these crooked eyes is not as familiar as the feeling under the eyes.
She took a step back and said in surprise, "Father, aren't you already in Beijing?" ”
Tang Xiaocheng said with a smile: "Jingzhong is the Longtan Tiger's Den, how can I go?" ”
Tang Muzhi was silent, and he knew that he must be a puppet, which was not new in the family. It's just why did my father appear here late at night?
Tang Xiaocheng seemed to guess what she was thinking, and said, "There is a distinguished guest coming tonight, and your father and brother must entertain you personally." ”
Tang Muzhi was silent for a while, and said, "Does my father want to take down Yansui Wenzhen?" ”
Tang Xiaocheng said: "Those people are bold, they just want to cross the border from my northern Sichuan, and they still want to make trouble in northern Sichuan, how can I give people such a practice of the century-old gate valve of the Tang family?" ”
Tang Muzhi was silent.
Tang Xiaocheng glanced at her, retreated from the left and right, and said, "Do you know why you can still come back safely?" ”
"Naturally, my good brother didn't inform the Elder Church about me." Tang Muzhi's tone was flat.
Tang Xiaocheng frowned: "Muzhi, why are you so angry and resentful?" How can my father and family treat you badly, I don't understand what you are thinking in your heart! Let's not talk about how many stupid things and stupid things you did in pursuit of Yan Sui in those years, which ruined the reputation of the family. You want Yan Sui, I want to propose marriage to the court, but you sabotage it yourself, you sabotage this matter, then you just take care of it, but you colluded with Yan Sui in Liushan, attacked your own brother, and ruined his plan in Liushan, all of them are big mistakes, your brother doesn't care about you, and hides this matter on your behalf, so that you are at ease now, not only are you not grateful, but also resentful! ”
Tang Muzhi turned to him, and under the lonely light of the silent night, she looked flat, as if she was wearing a mask carved by Zhang Shuangxue: "Brother kiss?" ”
Tang Xiaocheng was stunned.
Tang Muzhi laughed, and his voice sneered, "One twin twins, the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious." Tang five and Tang six, Tang nationality double. Sounds so good. But why is it that in my memory, when I was very young, I didn't have an older brother? ”
Tang Xiaocheng's face suddenly became indifferent, and he seemed to be wearing a mask carved by skillful hands: "That's naturally because you are too young." He paused, "Your mother gave birth to twins and phoenixes, which is a happy event known to the whole clan. ”
"yes. Our Tang family has always regarded the twin dragons and phoenixes as auspicious signs, if the twin dragons and phoenixes grow up safely and have outstanding qualifications, it is simply the best omen. Therefore, our brother and sister have a very high status among their peers in the clan, so the question is, since the status is very high, why is my brother trained as an heir after the age of six, and he receives the best education, and I, I can not read books, martial arts can not learn, temperament can not be chaste, only internal strength and whistle skills, but every day strict supervision, especially internal strength, obviously not good at learning, not clever to use, obviously can give up learning others, but always have to continue to learn, why is this? ”
"That's because you are a woman, a woman can't always be the heir of the Tang family, a martial art, you can learn it once you learn it, why do you need to be smart? How fair would it be to you to let you give up halfway? At that time, your eldest brother had already had an accident, your father had just succeeded to the head of the family, and your brother had just emerged in the family, so it was natural that he would have to take on the responsibility of the whole clan in the future. What's that good thing? Your brother was enlightened at the age of two to learn music and rhythm, at the age of three to learn words, at the age of seven to read the four books and five classics, at the age of ten to argue the great Confucian, from the age of six his life was full of poetry, books, etiquette, music and martial arts, and when he became an adult, he had to plan for the family every day, deal with the imperial court Yan Sui's guns and arrows, and if he was not careful, he would never recover, and how could he have been relaxed for a day? According to your father, your brother has borne all the burdens for you, and you should feel lucky! ”
"If it is really my brother who bears it for me and bears it for the rest of my life, I should naturally be happy, even grateful." Tang Muzhi smiled without a smile, "I'm afraid that after a while, I will have to pay it back in my lifetime!" ”
Tang Xiaocheng slowly turned his head to look at her, and said gently: "Ah Liu, why did you suddenly say this?" Who chewed the root of the tongue in front of you? ”
Tang Muzhi ignored him and said to himself: "Speaking of which, my daughter hasn't seen you for a long time." It's rare for father and daughter to gossip, why don't you just tell you a story? It is said that a long time ago, there was a couple, gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins, our Dongtang dragon and phoenix fetuses have always been rare auspicious, the couple has greatly improved their status in the family, very happy, the husband of the couple, because of their own outstanding talents, the eldest son is excellent, and there is such a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and they successfully took over the head of the family, but unfortunately the daughter of the twins, the body is weak, so the couple carefully cared for, raised in the deep boudoir, rarely saw people, or died at the age of six, at this time, the husband who had just taken over as the head of the family, The eldest son suddenly had an accident because of marriage. ”
Tang Xiaocheng listened expressionlessly, his face like a stone sculpture in the shadow of the light.
"Big family, you know, there are a lot of rivals. Soon after becoming the head of the family, the proud advantages suddenly happened one after another, and it was inevitable that people would use them as a handle, and there was auspiciousness and ominousness, right? Otherwise, why is it that someone else is safe and sound when he becomes the head of the house, and he has such a big leak as soon as he becomes the head of the house? If you can't manage your own sons, why should you manage such a big family? The dragon and phoenix break one phoenix before it grows up, is the other dragon still considered a dragon? The new head of the family was not on a stable footing, seeing that the eldest son was no longer able to recover, but the twins could not have any more accidents, thinking that the youngest daughter was weak anyway, hidden in the boudoir, and few people had seen it, so he simply buried it quietly. In addition, a little girl who was somewhat similar to the youngest daughter was selected from his wife's mother's house, and brought into Tang City, or pretending to be weak, and raised for a year and a half before coming out to see people, and then few people remembered her appearance, so, twins or twins, dragons and phoenixes or dragons and phoenixes, the new head of the family is really lucky, that dragon is young, under a high-pressure hard study, he emerged in time to help the Tang family elders re-establish confidence in the head of the family, and since then, the position of the head of the family has been done for a long time. ”
Tang Xiaocheng said lightly: "This story is very good. The twists and turns are moving. In my opinion, everyone in the story has helplessness, and the only lucky one is that even the girl who was picked up was the daughter of an ordinary family, and in this life she was raised until she was a teenager, and she married a rich man casually, had children, and hastily lived a lifetime. But because of this opportunity, he entered the first family of Zhong Ming Ding Shi, and got this wealth and wealth, and Jin Zun and Yugui grew up like a princess, why, are you still dissatisfied? ”
Tang Muzhi nodded and said, "Yes, that's the truth." It is indeed a golden princess who grew up. When she first knew the story, she didn't have much resentment, at most, she had been puzzled for many years. Why for so many years, her parents treat her and her brother seem to be the same, but they are different everywhere, why for so many years, no matter how her brother treats her, she has never been able to get close, her memories before the age of six were erased, in order to pretend to be a weak little girl, she was really weak and sick for a year, a year later, her memories before the age of six were only sporadic and half, she really thought that this was her relatives, why didn't her relatives kiss? I don't understand, for many years after that, she was tormented by this problem, like a knife, sharpened for a long time, first drenched in blood, then scarred, and then became hard and angular, hard and angular everywhere, no longer hurt herself, only people were injured. ”
"That's just that the woman has a bad nature, so she is getting more and more intolerant. The descendants of the big family, who will grow like this? The so-called rotten wood cannot be carved. Tang Xiaocheng smiled, "Or can it be said that if it is not my race, its heart must be different?" ”
Tang Muzhi turned her head to look at him, her eyes were shining: "Yes, the wall of dung should not be stained." But the big family, will they really choose a piece of rotten wood and a broken wall? Isn't it really because of her tenacity and special physique? Otherwise, no one in your Tang family is willing to practice the broken jade internal skills that no one can practice, why did she practice it? ”
Tang Xiaocheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he stopped talking.
"The whistle skill is the Tang family's partial door, and the Tang family regards it as an inferior martial art, and no one is willing to practice it for men, let alone women. She went to practice, just because her good father said that if she practiced this, she could assist her brother, so she wore out her tongue, and her mouth was dripping with blood again and again, breaking bones and cracking lips. She didn't know what the broken jade internal strength was, she only knew that the progress was very slow, and after practicing for so many years, her martial arts internal strength was always mediocre, which made her unable to make too big waves, and she would always have to be controlled by her good brother. She thought it was a limitation of her qualifications, until she just learned that the internal strength of broken jade, as the name suggests, would rather be broken than complete, and it can all be poured into others, or it can explode itself and die with others at the most critical moment, and it can also be under the action of external forces, when intercourse with people...... Cause the meridians of the opponent's whole body to shatter and die. ”
She grinned expressionlessly, staring at Tang Xiaocheng's eyes: "Family master, you said, what does this good father want to do when he lets his cheap daughter practice the internal skills of losing yin virtue?" Want her to sacrifice for her good brother when she needs it in the future? Want to let her blow herself up in the battle with the great enemy of her life? Or do you want her to chase the prince in the end, and finally kill the love of her life on the night of the candle in the cave room? ”
"Is this the purpose of you holding her and raising her, and getting along with each other day and night for more than 20 years?"
"Is this what you, as adoptive parents, have always held for your daughter, who is not your own, but who is also raised personally, and who is full of admiration and shouts with admiration that your father and mother are growing up day by day?"
"What are you thinking when you listen to that shout, look at that look, look at that smile? Thinking about the Ding furnace today, is it enough to be hot? Is the killing weapon cultivated today? Is poison practiced today? ”
"What is your heart made of? Why do I think that your heart is the furnace, the killing weapon, the poison? ”
