Chapter Forty-Nine—The Son Can Be Taught
"That's right, this magpie Dengmei Ling was left by the princess's mother in her hands."
The man seemed to be thinking about something, and gradually lowered the short blade in his hand.
"Isn't Chengmei Ji known as knowing everything? Then how could you not know that the concubine in this letter is the princess's mother? ”
It doesn't make sense to say that.
The black-robed man was stunned, as if he didn't know what the letter said.
Shi Yu handed the letter in his hand to him and waited for him to take a closer look.
After reading it, the man seemed to let down his guard against Shi Yu and said slowly.
"After Lord Ling heard that the only daughter died, his weak body couldn't hold it anymore, and then he went crazy and unpredictable, and then disappeared to this day.
"That Lord Ling is gone, how did you survive to this day?"
"Although Lord Ling is not here, the rules of the Chengmei machine have not changed, as long as the Chengmei machine still exists, it can be extended forever."
"So... You do what you are told... Is this Magpie Dengmei Ling? ”
"Yes, we only act on tokens, but alas... Lord Ling's monstrous ability, before he disappeared, he didn't know that his Sikong family still had bloodline. ”
"Why?"
"Lord Ling has always been good at protecting his family, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor's early death of Concubine Ying was his only daughter as you said today, even we haven't known yet, but Chengmei is all over the world, and when the Lord is weak, he was in a neighboring country, just when he heard that the only daughter died, he was already crazy, and naturally he didn't know that there was still a trace of blood left."
"I see."
This story is so entwined that it makes people confused.
"Since the princess has given you this token, what is the matter?"
The man continued.
These words pulled Shi Yu's thoughts back, and he hurriedly said his important things.
"Do you know the poison of the bone-eater? Is there an antidote?! ”
"Naturally, I know, but this antidote still needs to be found."
"When will I find it?"
"I'll give you an answer within three days."
"How can I find you?"
"The place where the second child of the Burning Banquet Pavilion is secretly ordered to slip vinegar lotus root powder."
"When those three days are up, I will go to look for you."
"Hmm."
The man answered, picked up the box on the case, and then turned and stepped out of the house, his figure disappearing into the night.
Shi Yu stood in place, still thinking about what Fang Cai said, took a step forward, and happened to step on a soft and one-thing thing.
Immediately after hearing a muffled snort, he quickly retracted his feet and took a step back, then squatted down and pushed Jincheng on the ground.
Jincheng woke up at this time,
"Childe..."
As he spoke, he was about to pinch his aching neck, but when he raised his hand, he saw that his palm was even weaker, and he saw that there were clear footprints on it.
"Who stepped on my hand!"
“...”
"Childe, how did I pass out?"
“... Let's go home. ”
Jincheng looked at Shi Yu with a look of reluctance to pay more attention to himself, so he could only stand up and pat the ashes on his body, turned his head to see that the box on the case was no longer there, and then hurried to catch up with Shi Yu's pace.
"Childe... Why is the box missing? ...”
Jincheng chattered endlessly, as if he had thought of something, and then continued with his eyes wide open and a shocked expression.
"Childe just met the person who took the plum machine?"
"How do you think you passed out?"
Shi Yu shook his head slightly, the son is quite teachable.
I thought that Jincheng would feel afraid, but who knew that it was a surprise, I saw him smile and touch his neck, and then raised his hand to look at the dark pattern on the sole of his shoe left by the dust of his injury.
"It's a great blessing to be able to fall under the hands of the Ten Realms Martial Arts of Chengmei Machine, I decided not to wash this hand when I go back, and this shoe print should be treasured."
“...”
Shi Yu was suddenly hit by a black line on his head, and his face was speechless, he really didn't want to interrupt the beauty in Jincheng's heart, and swallowed the words "That shoe print is mine" into his stomach.
Then he mounted his horse and headed north back to the city.
"Hey, Childe, wait for me."
Jincheng said, pulling the reins of the horse with one hand, and then jumped up, but the hand with the gray sole of the shoe was raised high.
At this time, Shi Yu was full of thoughts, all of which was a conversation between Fang Cai and the person from Chengmei Ji.
The man asked him to go to the Burning Banquet Pavilion three days later to find him and talk to Xiao Er.
Presumably, the Burning Banquet Pavilion is the territory of Chengmei Machine?
In the Banquet Pavilion, everyone can enter from the nobles of the kings and grandsons to the common people, and it is inevitably a good place for hearsay.
Now he also has to put the hope of Shi Rong's antidote on Chengmei's machine.
The rest went back to the house and tried his best to take care of Kitahiko.
Along the way, Shi Yu rode the wind and walked non-stop.
When he returned to Beijing again, it was already late at night, and although he was a little tired now, his thoughts were extremely excited.
He quietly went to Shi Beiyan's bedroom, and saw Si Yanran's weak body resting on Shi Beiyan's side.
Shi Yu couldn't bear to disturb, so he took out a big piece from the side and draped it on Si Yanran's body.
Since he was no longer sleepy, he went to his brother and talked about today's incident.
Thinking like this, he paused lightly, walked to the head of Shi Kitahiko's bed, and pressed down the stone on the inside.
Then, under the screen next to the bed, a secret passage appeared.
Shi Yu entered and closed the entrance casually, and the cold air in the secret room suddenly made him shiver, but it was even more refreshing.
"Shi Yu?"
Shi Rong's voice suddenly sounded, as if he hadn't spoken for a long time, and his figure was low and hoarse.
"Brother, this late night has disturbed your rest."
Shi Yu approached him, looking at the ice bed where the cold mist was flying, Shi Rong's face became more and more bruised, and his lips were black.
Shi Rong had a rare expression, and he hooked his lips slightly with self-deprecation.
"In the midst of this, there is no such thing as a late night and day, and rest is just a luxury for me."
When Shi Yu heard this, he pursed his lips, he said the wrong thing...
Shi Rong turned his eyes to look at Shi Yu's somewhat self-reproachful expression, and then changed the topic.
"You seem to have something on your mind?"
Shi Rong was not such a talkative person, but in the face of his younger brother, he couldn't help but want to say a few more words.
After all, he is also a poor person, he has not followed his father and mother since he was a child, and grew up in Jiangnan.
Although it is the opposite of loneliness, it is always unfair to him.
"Well, does my brother know about Chengmeiji?"
"Nature knows."
"It's just clear... The current commander of Chengmei Ji is Princess Erya..."
"Erya?"
Shi Rong squinted, his tone was incredulous, how could the princess in the deep palace have anything to do with that Chengmei machine.
"Princess Erya's mother is the only daughter of Lord Chengmei Jiling, but after her early death, there was no news, and only one token was handed over to Erya."
Cheng Meiji obeyed the order, and no one in the world knew it, Shi Rong said puzzled.
"And how do you know?"
"The princess asked me to find out about the token, and she didn't know about it herself, and..."
"What else?"
