Chapter 6 The Burning of the Prime Minister's Mansion
Gu Shi saw that all the people were knocked unconscious by Yue Mengxin, and there was a panic in his heart, watching her walk towards him with a chuckle, her eyes were full of fear, and her body moved forward, what did this want to do to herself.
Yue Mengxin squatted down, her slender rough little fingers clasped Gu's chin, and the force almost made Gu think that his bones would be crushed, so he shook his head desperately, wanting to scream, but he couldn't break free.
Lifting Gu's chin, Yuemeng carefully looked at her face until she saw that her whole body was hairy, and her whole body trembled with fear.
Yue Mengxin smiled leisurely and said gently: "Erniang, thank you for taking care of you all these years, hehe, let's calculate all the accounts today, Erniang." ”
Gu's mouth made a whining sound, the pain in his jaw was to the bone, tears flowed out of his eyes, from childhood to adulthood, brocade clothes and fine food, and her husband also doted on her, and never suffered this kind of suffering.
Yue Mengxin's mind surfaced the previous scene of Yue Mengxin being bullied and scolded by her, the tip of her nose was sore, and a pain came from her chest, her eyes were half-squinted, her eyes were cold, cold as frost, and she stretched out her hand and slapped Gu's face hard.
In the quiet room, the green smoke from the incense burner danced hazy in the air, and slowly disappeared into the air, and the slap continued to sound.
Gu had already been knocked unconscious and died, his whole face was red and swollen like a pig's head, and Yue Mengxin saw that the fight was almost over, so he let go of his hand.
Standing in front of Yue Dieyi, he snorted coldly, gave her a few slaps, took the rope on the side, and tied her up, followed by Ling Xiang and Yahuan who was knocked out by herself.
Seeing that he was all tied, he looted all the valuable gold and silver jewelry on Gu's and Yuedieyi's bodies, packed and closed the door and walked outside.
Yue Mengxin found Gu's room according to her memory, and put her silver tickets and jewels that she had collected for many years into her bag, with these, enough to eat for several lifetimes.
Walking towards the firewood room again, looking at the place where Yue Mengxin lived before, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and a mocking smile rose at the corner of his mouth, this cold prime minister's mansion will no longer have the name Yue Mengxin from today on.
He poured the lamp oil on the table into the room, lit the flint and threw it on the wooden board of the lamp oil, and the fire burned quickly and spread.
Yue Mengxin turned around and walked towards the back garden with an expressionless face, the flames behind her soared into the sky.
"Oh no, no, water, water." Several servants found a raging fire in the firewood room, and shouted in panic.
The Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly turned into a pot of porridge, and no one noticed a person and left quietly.
Yue Mengxin went out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, soiled his face, and immediately found a cloth village on the side of the street to buy a few sets of men's clothes and cloaks, changed his clothes to cover himself, and found a big inn nearby, and chartered a yard to live in.
The small courtyard is very quiet, planted with a few peach trees, it is summer, the peach blossoms have already withered, the branches are full of green peach leaves, and the green peaches are hanging all over the branches.
The shopkeeper diligently sent the bath water over, Yue Mengxin thanked him in a low voice, threw some broken silver to him, and the shopkeeper left happily.
Closed the doors and windows, lowered her head and looked at her face in the basin, she was going to wash the potion off her face now, and believed that the Prime Minister's Mansion would send someone to search, the medicine was left to her before Yue Mengxin's mother died.
took out a small packet of yellow paper from his arms and gently tore it, poured the black powder into the water, and instantly dyed it black.
Carefully washing every part of her face, wiping it clean with a cloth, walking to the dresser and looking at the bronze mirror, she was in a trance, this face was many times more beautiful than her previous life.
I can't help but caress my cheeks, the eyebrows in the mirror are as light as smoke, the eyes are as clear as water, charming and moving, the delicate red lips, the exquisite jade carved face, revealing the peerless elegance, elegant and refined.
In the future, she will appear in this other world with this face, and she has already planned in her heart, traveling all over the four countries, indulging in mountains and rivers, and living freely.
Yue Mengxin lived in the inn for three days, someone secretly searched with a portrait, saw that she was a man, and turned to search elsewhere, she told the shopkeeper not to let people disturb herself, the shopkeeper is also a clever person, seeing that the guests are generous, they will do their best to serve.
I lived for half a month, and every day in the first layer of the Qi refining period of cultivating the Hongmeng Immortal Refining Technique, I collected the heaven and earth aura from the outside world to replenish myself.
At the beginning of cultivation, it is naturally very difficult, but after meditating for a few days, there is a little true qi in the meridians, which naturally makes her overjoyed, and the aura here is also very abundant.
The practice of forgetting to sleep and eat every day, light skills are also quickly started, and the practice is seven or eight points, and I don't know how fast I fly.
On the street, it was very lively, both sides of the shops were full of pedestrians coming and going, and there were also many small vendors on the side of the road who were selling in front of the stalls.
Everywhere you go, everyone on the street is talking about the Hundred Flowers Festival, and many aristocratic women come out with their daughters to buy new clothes and jewelry.
The Hundred Flowers Festival is a festival in the seventh year of Yanyu Country, except for the royal women of Yanyu Country can not participate, all the girls of Yanyu Country wear the most gorgeous and beautiful clothes, paint the most exquisite makeup, gather on both sides of the Yanyu River, pray and bow to the sky, the ceremony is pious and grand, the girls show their talents, and finally elect the Hundred Flowers Fairy, who will generally be crowned as a princess by the royal family, and enjoy the glory and wealth for a lifetime.
And this year is different, Emperor Yan wants to choose this Hundred Flowers Fairy as the crown princess, and when the prince sits on the throne, he will be the queen of Yanyu Country in the future, which is a dream for the girls of Yanyu Country.
The most lively thing of the Hundred Flowers Festival is that the girls put river lanterns upstream, and whoever catches the river lanterns downstream may become a beautiful conversation about talents.
Mingyue Building, is the largest teahouse in Yanjing, literati and scholars, three religions and nine streams gathering place, Yue Mengxin walked into the teahouse, looking at the decoration inside, all through the exquisite and elegant atmosphere.
The noisy teahouse suddenly quieted down, everyone's eyes were on Yue Mengxin's body, and everyone suddenly felt that their eyes lit up, and they were a beautiful young man.
Dressed in white, the sleeves are fluttering, the heroic posture is upright, the green silk like ink is bound by a white ribbon, the beautiful face is a little heroic, the folding fan in the hand is gently shaken, and between the throws, it is chic and uninhibited.
Seeing that everyone was looking at herself, Yue Mengxin walked in with a calm expression, knocked on the folding fan in her hand and knocked on the shopkeeper who was looking at her in a daze, and said softly: "Have a cup of your best fragrant tea here, and serve a few delicious pastries." ”
The shopkeeper touched his head, came back to his senses, nodded hurriedly, and said enthusiastically: "Is the prince going up to the private room on the second floor, or sitting on the first floor?" ”
"That's it." Yue Mengxin pointed to an empty table not far away and walked over.
"Okay, guest officer, you sit slowly, and the tea will come up immediately." The shopkeeper walked quickly to the table and wiped the table clean with the rag on his shoulder.
Yue Mengxin sat on the table, looking around with a pair of black eyes, this teahouse is no wonder the largest teahouse here, the layout is unique, an elegant word to describe here, it feels very quiet and comfortable.
The shopkeeper neatly put the fragrant tea and pastries on the table, and said with a smile: "Son, please use it slowly." ”
"Hmm." Yue Mengxin elegantly picked up the teacup, the fragrance was overflowing, and she took a sip gently, a faint bitter taste came from the tip of her tongue, and in a blink of an eye, a sweetness spread in her mouth, and the delicate shape of the pastries on the table revealed an attractive color.
The teahouse resumed its noisy scene, and many people thought that it must be the son of a wealthy family, who came out to play alone, and they all withdrew their eyes.
"Brother Zhao Feng, in more than a month, it will be the Hundred Flowers Festival, which is also the day when the prince chooses a concubine, and it will be very lively." The man in the dark blue shirt munched on melon seeds and grinned.
"Hehe, otherwise I wouldn't have rushed back from the Maple Leaf Country, only once in seven years, what a rare opportunity, Brother Wu Ming, I haven't seen you for three months, I heard that you married a beautiful concubine again." The man in the white robe chuckled.
"Hehe, Brother Zhao Feng has something new in Fengye Country, you can talk about it." Wu Ming said with a chuckle.
Yue Mengxin listened to the soft-spoken conversation between the two people, and turned her head to look at the two people, dressed as scholars.
Zhao Feng took a sip of tea, put down the teacup in his hand, and said with a somewhat mysterious face: "There is really a news, and this matter has almost spread." ”
"What's the news, tell me about it." Wu Ming stopped the action of swallowing melon seeds in his hand and asked curiously.
The words of the two of them naturally attracted the attention of the two tables next to them, and they both pricked up their ears and sounded.
"This day is going to change, the great sacrifice of Yuehua Kingdom died not long ago, and the immortal left a sentence before he died, the heavenly maiden is now, the four kingdoms are in chaos, and the heavenly maiden is the world." Wu Ming's face was solemn, and he touched the teacup with his hand.
"Brother Zhao Feng, are you telling the truth? But just these few words, the Butterfly Dance Continent is so big, where to find the Heavenly Maiden, I think it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. ”
"No, the big priest said that the Heavenly Maiden is in Yanyu Country, and the other three countries have sent special envoys to Yanyu Country, and it just so happens that the prince of the Hundred Flowers Festival has chosen a concubine, and he also came to congratulate him, and they all came to visit the Heavenly Maiden in secret."
"Hehe, I want to find the Heavenly Maiden and the Blue Sky, but I have a lot of rumors about the Prime Minister's Mansion here." Wu Ming picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, took a sip of tea, and his speech was a little slurred.
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"On the night of Prime Minister Yue's fortieth birthday, the night prince was assassinated, and the night prince was skilled, and the assassin was killed, after that, the second lady of the prime minister of the month went crazy, and within two days, the prime minister's mansion caught fire, and the eldest lady was burned to death, you say this is strange." Zhao Feng said mysteriously.
"I heard that the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is the first talented girl in Yanyu Country, I don't know how many princes and nobles love and covet it, I think that the second miss and the eldest lady are not similar in appearance and talent, it's a pity!" Wu Ming's face showed regret.
"That's right, Brother Wu Ming, I invited you to Chunxiang Pavilion tonight, and said that there was another batch of stunning women." Zhao Feng's eyes were ambiguous, and he said in a low voice.
"Okay, that's it." Wu Ming smiled, with a bit of obscenity.
The words of the two of them, Yue Mengxin didn't want to listen to it anymore, the pastries on the plate were almost the same, and the taste was really good, holding her chin with one hand, and her beautiful face showed an expression that seemed to be smiling.
Heavenly Maiden, it's really interesting, but it has nothing to do with her, I didn't expect the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion to be really ruthless, saying to the outside world that she was buried in the fire, but secretly looking for her, even if they were looking for a thousand years, ten thousand years, they would never have thought that they would change their faces.
However, she was very interested in the Hundred Flowers Festival, and she wanted to go all the way to the Maple Night Country, and it was not too late to stop moving when the Hundred Flowers Festival was over.
After listening to the small talk for a while, I realized that there are two kinds of people in this world, sorcerers and sacrifices, and not everyone can become a sorcerer, the requirements are very harsh, and only one out of 10,000 people can appear.
The sorcerer mobilizes the aura of heaven and earth, and his attack power is very strong and mysterious.
And the sacrifice is family inheritance, passed down from generation to generation, divination, and many two kinds of talents are secretly cultivated all around.
After drinking tea for a while, when she stood up and asked Xiao Er to settle the bill, a woman rushed in from the door of the teahouse, glanced at the people in the teahouse in a panic, and saw Yue Mengxin standing in the corner, hurriedly hid behind her, and shouted in panic: "Childe, please save the slave." ”
After a while, a few more big men rushed in, and when they saw the woman hiding behind Yue Mengxin, they shouted loudly: "Slut, look where you are running this time." ”
