Chapter Twenty-Five: The Black Kite of the Old World
"Yo~ I see that the weather is very good today, when did the strong wind blow your Royal Highness King Rui?" Gu Shi held a pair of flower scissors in his hand and smiled at Murong Shu.
Murong Shu looked at a small black pine carefully pruned by Gu Shi, "tsk" twice, and said, "Master Gu is so Yaxing, tell me, how much silver is this pine?" ”
"Don't do anything-" Gu Shi looked at Murong Shu proudly, "When I went to play outside the city a few days ago, I dug it on a mountain. ”
Murong Shu stretched out his hand and flicked the tiny pine branch of the black pine, "No wonder, it's shriveled and shriveled, it must be that you have too much evil in your house, and you can't even stand this grass and trees." ”
Gu Shi unceremoniously slapped Murong Shu's hand away, "It's clearly you, Lord Wang...... The body of a daughter, this little wood can't help it. ”
"Come on, if this king is really a daughter, Master Gu will not throw this king into the pawnshop a long time ago, and then change the new incense set of Yuxuan Pavilion with a thousand gold, and come back to smoke your mosquitoes all over the yard."
Gu Shi smiled and said, "How did His Royal Highness the King of Chu know that the price of the new incense set in the Yuxuan Pavilion was a thousand gold, didn't he send it to the lower officials today?" ”
Murong Shu glanced at him, "Master Gu hasn't woken up today, so it's better to go and make up for sleep." ”
"His Royal Highness King Rui's words are so cold, look at your good robe, this year's latest cloud brocade satin, the best embroidery in the Great Thorn City," Gu Shi took the flower scissors and poked Murong Shu's water-blue brocade robe, "The style designed by the best master of this lotus workshop, plus this silk silk with a good blue sea stone, not to mention the daughter, there are also eight hundred." ”
Murong Shu stroked his robe distressedly, and said unhappily: "I know that you still poke, and you will pay for the damage?" ”
"There is the best tailor in the Xiaguan Mansion," Gu Shi raised his finger and pointed to the coarse cloth patch he had just made on his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Look, is it just in line with the current fashion?" ”
Murong Shu glanced at an extremely bright red patch with rough stitches on Gu Shi's shabby green shirt, and turned his head away in disgust: "Master Gu should keep it for himself, this king doesn't have this blessing." ”
Gu Shi continued: "Your Royal Highness King Rui, look at the two good horses you parked outside the humble house, they are worth a thousand gold. ”
Murong Shu ignored him anymore and walked straight to the hall, "Doesn't Master Gu make a pot of tea for this king?" ”
Gu Shi then took the flower scissors and followed, and ordered: "Go and make a new pot of tea for His Royal Highness King Rui." ”
"His Royal Highness King Rui is here today, not just to drink a pot of tea in the cold house."
Murong Shu said: "Why, can't?" Could it be that the tea in the Gu Bachelor's Mansion is a tael of gold, and he is reluctant to invite this king to eat? ”
Gu Shi smiled and said: "Your Highness is joking, don't talk about a thousand gold taels, even if it is ten thousand gold taels, the lower officials will also give it." ”
"You don't have a hundred gold taels of tea," Murong Shu muttered disdainfully, and then turned to a serious way, "A few days ago, the four princes in the palace fell into the water and were rescued by Princess Xueji of Western Qin, do you think it's strange?" ”
"Contentment? Princess Xueji? Gu Shi thought for a moment, "You mean the proton sent by Xi Qin?" ”
Murong Shu nodded, "Not bad." ”
Gu Shi smiled: "What's so strange. The weak prince was killed by a traitor in the palace, and the princess of a foreign country happened to pass by and rescued him. ”
"If that's what you say, that's fine. But this king thinks that this matter is not simple. Who is the adulterer? ”
"Do you think, how many people in this deep palace want to harm Murong Jin?" Gu Shiyi said with a serious face, "How do I know who it is?" ”
“......”
Gu Shi said again: "Nothing unusual, this eldest prince, the second prince, the third prince, and Your Majesty are all possible, what a fuss!" ”
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Gu Shidao: "When the new emperor ascended the throne, you were still young, and you didn't know how this prince didn't recognize his six relatives. ”
"This king was not young then," Murong Shu retorted, "How could this king not know the sinister king in the palace, what was your intention when you mentioned Your Majesty just now?" ”
As soon as she chatted a few words, the nimble girl had already brought the tea. Gu Shi took a sip of the new tea slowly, and said lightly: "This emperor who kills children is not uncommon, what is strange." It's not good to analyze serious things, but to pay attention to these palace trivial matters. ”
Murong Shu also took a sip of tea, frowned, and said, "Are you sure this is this year's new tea?" ”
"Who said it was this year's new tea, it's obviously from last year."
Murong Shu's eyes widened, "You-"
"That person's identity, have you found out?"
Murong Shu said: "Bai Xiying, twenty-eight years old, more than seven feet tall, has not yet married a wife, has no parents above, and has no children below. ”
Gu Shi glared at Murong Shu and said, "You don't agree with him, what are you doing to check these?" ”
Murong Shu spread his hands and said helplessly: "What can this king do, since this person came to Dayan, he hasn't even been out of the palace a few times, and Nale Mansion is protected like a baby, and nothing can be found." ”
Gu Shi frowned, "The more you can't find it, the more it means that this person's identity is suspicious." ”
Murong Shu touched his chin and thought for a while, "It's not that there are no clues at all. ”
"What clues?"
Murong Shu said: "During the New Year's Festival, this Bai Xiying was invited to go to the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion, and when he returned, he encountered an assassin and almost died. ”
Gu Shi shook the tea in the cup and said, "Marquis Zhenguo, Nangong Jue....... How does he relate to this person? ”
"I don't know," Murong Shu said, "but it doesn't have to be Nangong Yu's killer, he won't be so stupid." ”
Gu Shi agreed: "Also, then who would be so stupid?" ”
Murong Shu said helplessly: "I don't know." ”
"Can't even find your people?"
"What Master Gu said ......" Murong Shu sneered, "What is the power of this king, I can't find it, how strange it is-"
Gu Shi took a sullen sip of Chen tea and said, "Others, are there any other clues?" ”
"Yes," Murong Shu endured a feeling of unfreshness mixed with a slight musty smell, and took a small sip of tea, "That Bai Xiying has a strong guard by his side, and his own skills are not bad. ”
"What kind of clue is this?"
"He's the fourth child's teacher now."
"What is this?"
Murong Shu sniffed it, and finally put down the teacup very badly, "Teacher Lelu, the fourth brother treats people much closer than you, the left one is 'Mr. is good', and the right one is 'Mr. is not bad', when this king goes to the Floating Moon Palace, he will bump into him eight times out of ten." ”
Gu Shi was puzzled: "Such a coincidence? ”
Murong Shu lowered his eyes a little weakly, looking at the yellowed tea soup, "How does this king know." ”
Gu Shi smiled and said, "If this person has anything to do with this Murong Jin again, it will be even more interesting." ”
"What can it do?"
Gu Shi put down the teacup and tasted interesting: "When the Northern Qi Dynasty was wiped out, although all the members of the royal family were exterminated, the black kite of the Northern Qi royal family, so many people, has not been traced so far, who is controlling it?" ”
Murong Shu was shocked: "Are you saying that this person may be a member of the Black Kite?" ”
Gu Shidao: "Xia Guan didn't say it, everything is just speculation, a joke, and His Royal Highness shouldn't take it to heart." ”
Murong Shu couldn't help but feel irritable, and drank all the Chen tea with his head down, only then did Empress Fang feel uncomfortable in his chest, and he couldn't help but regret it, "There is one more point, this person's surname is Bai." ”
"Oh?"
"The current royal family of South Vietnam, surnamed Bai."
