060 Be Prepared (Part I)
Zuo Liang did not wait for He Xuan at the south gate as agreed, but left a letter in the "Shengyi Building", when the carriage of the Liao family arrived here and took the dry food and snacks on the road, San'er lost no time in handing the letter to Liao Yong's hand.
"What is this?" Liao Yong asked.
San'er looked left and right, lowered his voice and said, "It was last night, Zuo Ye stayed here, let me hand it over to you personally." Say you'll know when you see it, you don't have to ask me anything. ”
He Xuan looked at San'er's mysterious face, laughed out loud, and said, "General Zuo came here yesterday?" When? ”
San'er rolled his eyes, pinched his fingers like a fortune teller, and then said, "It's almost time." ”
He Xuan nodded, at this time, the things to be prepared were also prepared, Liao Yong asked people to drive the car, put down the curtain and removed the wax seal on the envelope, and only wrote a few words on the unfolded letterhead: "Go out of the city to the south, eighteen miles of pavilions in the southern suburbs, see you or leave." ”
"This Ziqing is getting more and more careful." Liao Yong said with a smile, and then handed the letter to He Xuan.
He Xuan didn't answer the letter, just closed her eyes and kept her mind, and continued: "Be careful, be careful, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship." ”
Liao Yong folded the letter in a daze, put it in an envelope, then put it in his arms, opened the curtain, and said to Yuqing and Yumo who were sitting outside: "Eighteen Mile Pavilion." ”
"Got it." This Yuqing was sitting leaning on at this time, and when she heard the voice, she answered with a smile.
Yumo looked at the smile on Yuqing's face, and couldn't help but smile, this kid, how long has it been since he went out, no wonder he was so happy, Yumo reached out and rubbed Yuqing's head......
"Brother Yumo, I'm free, teach me how to drive." Yuqing said.
"What? Want to learn this? Yumo asked with a smile.
Yu Qing nodded.
"Good. If you want to learn, my brother will teach you. ”
Looking at Yuqing's smile like sunshine, Yumo's heart was also as warm as the sun.
In a short time, the Eighteen Mile Pavilion arrived. Zuo Liang was dressed in sandalwood, his hair was simply curled on the top of his head, and a black jade hairpin was inserted. I'm looking in that direction. When he saw the carriage of the Liao family, Zuo Liang did not drive over, but beckoned them over, Yuqing and Yumo were a little strange, but they still complied.
The carriage stopped, He Xuan and Liao Yong jumped down, Zuo Liang looked at the two of them, He Xuan was dressed in a moon-white robe, wearing a son's scarf of the same color, and a long belt floated behind him; And Liao Yong was dressed in white, with an ivory hairpin on his head.
"What's going on?" He Xuan asked.
He Xuan saw that Zuo Liang was just looking at himself and Liao Yong in a daze, and asked directly.
"Oh," Zuo Liang realized that he had lost his mind, and hurriedly restrained himself, and then said, "Into the mortal...... I...... I have a few words to share with you. ”
"Then I'll avoid it." He Xuan said, ready to turn around and get into the car.
"No, you don't." Zuo Liang saw that He Xuan had misunderstood what he meant, so he hurriedly followed.
He Xuan looked at Liao Yong, and Liao Yong smiled and said, "Stay still, I haven't thought about hiding it from you." What's the matter, let's talk about it, Ziqing. ”
Before Zuo Liang spoke, he took out something from his arms and handed it to Liao Yong, Liao Yong took it, looked at it, and said, "Isn't this a tiger talisman?" ”
"Yes. Yesterday, after I left your house, I arrived at the door of the house, and I was summoned to the palace again. The emperor asked where we were going, pondered for a moment, and gave this to me. Into the mortal, yesterday I thought it was just an errand for peace and happiness, but now as soon as I started this tiger talisman, I knew that this trip was not so good. If it weren't for the emperor's order, I wouldn't even want him to go. I guess you're still ......."
"I know that you two are going to risk your lives, and then I'll wait for you to come back at home eating, drinking, and merrymaking!" Liao Yong smiled and asked, "You, are you going to let me do this?" ”
"Brother Zhufan, if that's the case, then I don't want you to go. It's not far from the city now, so it's better for you to go back early. ”
He Xuan said sincerely, it is one thing for him to tease Liao Yong, but it is another thing to take him to the uncertain road of life and death.
"You can't bear me?" Liao Yong looked at He Xuan with a smile and asked.
"Joke, knowing that the future is dangerous, do you want to follow!" He Xuan glared at him and said.
Liao Yong shook his head, laughed, held He Xuan in his arms with one hand, and put the other hand on Zuo Liang's shoulder, and then said: "There are brothers like this, what are you afraid of death." ”
Looking at the fearlessness on Liao Yong's face, Zuo Liang felt shocked for the first time, since he was a child, he had never known Liao Yong to be serious about anything, and today ......
Liao Yong ignored them, and got into the carriage first, Zuo Liang and He Xuan looked at each other, Zuo Liang shook his head, and said: "If something happens, protect him first." This Buddha was invited by the two of us, so we have to send it back safe and sound. ”
He Xuan nodded, for some reason, there were many regrets in her heart, and Liao Yong should not be dragged into this turmoil.
"I guess I can't persuade you back. So, I prepared this. After getting into the carriage, Zuo Liang took off the burden tied around his waist and took out a rectangular box similar to a jewelry box from it.
"You're going to sell jewelry?" Liao Yong looked at it and asked.
"What kind of jewelry! This is a secret weapon, I brought a total of four, you bring two yourself, and the other two, give Yuqing and Yumo, these four were originally intended for you. But you have brought them both, and one of each of them will be prepared. Zuo Liang said.
He Xuan picked one up and looked at it, this thing was very delicately made, and it didn't weigh much in his hand. There is a row of tiny holes at the very front of the box. Underneath the mechanism, a delicate silver chain was attached, and a silver ring like a ring was attached to the end.
"This is made of balsa wood?" He Xuan asked.
Zuo Liang nodded.
"How do you play with this thing?"
Liao Yong picked up the box as he spoke, rolled up his sleeves, put it on, and then looked around.
He Xuan snapped and knocked his arm down: "I don't ask if there is anything in it, just look around, if I am not careful, I will become a hedgehog." ”
"You were meant to be a hedgehog!" Liao Yong said with a wicked smile.
"Carefree is right. I've got all the needles in here, and they've been fed with medicine. Zuo Liang said.
"Huh? Then I don't want it. If I don't get one right, I'll play myself to death. Liao Yong hurriedly put the box down.
"Wolf-hearted rabbit-guts guy. You think I'll feed you poison? The medicine on this will only make people temporarily numb, not fatal. Just give you time to run away. Zuo Liang said.
"That's okay to accept!" Liao Yong nodded.
"When you stay at the hotel, I'll teach you how to use it. Don't play it now. Zuo Liang put his things away and put them aside.
"What's this thing called?" Liao Yong asked.
"It's called a hidden weapon." He Xuan replied expressionlessly.
"Poof......" Listening to He Xuan's answer, Zuo Liang and Liao Yong both laughed, Liao Yong took a sip of tea and sprayed it all on Zuo Liang's robe, Liao Yong shook his head, and hurriedly took out his sweat towel and handed it to Zuo Liang, Zuo Liang took the sweat towel, and a faint fragrance also passed along with the sweat towel.
Zuo Liang pretended to wipe the water, but he didn't touch it, lowered his head and said, "This secret weapon is called the Jade Bee Needle...... At least, that's what it should have been called. ”
"Why is it called 'original'?" Liao Yong asked.
"Because, it turns out that the medicine used to feed the needle is extracted from bee venom. Now, I don't know what to call it. ”
"It's called 'Liaojia Needle'. It is estimated that in this world, just to numb people and stun their own running secret weapons, only he Mr. Liao likes to use. He Xuan said with a smile.
Liao Yong staggered his teeth, looked at He Xuan, and said, "I'm praising me when you are you." ”
As soon as He Xuan heard this, she laughed out loud and said: "People say 'the ignorant are fearless', and you are 'invincible without shame'!" ”
A few people talked and laughed, and walked all the way to Qingxian.
Seven or eight days later, they came to Qingxian safely, found a clean place to settle down, and rested for another night before they began to investigate.
On the third day of their departure from Kyoto.
Early in the morning of this day, Yun Zhen came to the palace to greet the Queen Mother.
"In the past few days, I haven't heard you talk about that He Xuan." The Queen Mother said lightly.
"What does the Queen Mother mean, is this a good thing? Or is it a bad thing? Yun Zhen asked rhetorically with the same attitude.
"This palace knows that it is a person, but it is good to be polite and polite when you come into contact with it."
Yun Zhen smiled coldly and said, "He hasn't been in the court recently. I heard that the emperor allowed him to return to his hometown and province. ”
"Oh? What a coincidence at this time. ”
"If it's a coincidence, there's more. I heard that the day before He Xuan's trip, Zuo Liang was also sent by the emperor on an errand. ”
"Do you think these two things are involved?"
"The errand is to enter the palace late at night, and leave at dawn; Those who returned to their hometowns also traveled quietly without any publicity. I don't know if these two things are involved. However, no matter what this king thinks, this must have something to do with the inspection of the Imperial Pharmacy a few days ago. ”
The Queen Mother nodded, lowered her voice and said, "You also know that the people around me now are weak. If you have time, you go and remind Zhu Yushi, I heard that the introduction this time is Ejiao from the south, that thing seems to be the livelihood of his brother's family. ”
"Don't worry about the Queen Mother. On the second day, I greeted Zhu Feng. ”
"However, I feel a little uneasy about this matter, you know, here, there are a lot of ...... we have every year."
"Queen Mother!" Yun Zhen interrupted her mother's words, and at this moment, the sound of footsteps outside came.
"Queen Mother, it's time to take medicine." A eunuch came in and said.
"Let's let it cool off first."
"Queen Mother, my son has also felt weak and ruthless these days. I really want to say goodbye to the Queen Mother for a few days off. ”
"If you are sick, you have to see the doctor early, don't be young and fall into the root of the disease."
"Yes. The son knows. Tonight, the son will give the emperor a fold and take a few days off. ”
The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and King Xian didn't sit long, and quickly left the "Tonghe Palace".
