Chapter Eighty-Four: To Each His Master

Cang Xin thought for a moment, "It looks like it is Anxinlou's family martial arts, where did the young master learn it?" ”

"I didn't bother to learn this shabby move, but last night someone was as curious as me, and he entered the palace late at night and came out in embarrassment, I saw that he was a little familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen it."

Mu Qingyan heard Cang Xin mention An Xinlou and suddenly realized, but he didn't know which one of the An family the person who made the sword. In the forbidden palace, Anxinlou doesn't know how many hidden piles there are, and there is no need for the young master of the An family to risk his life at such a moment.

Cang Xin frowned and spoke: "It seems that I went to the jade seal, An Yuqing suspected that it was good, but unfortunately the luck was not good, in the end it was a step too late." ”

"Look at this thing!" Mu Qingyan threw the bluestone cow at Cangxin.

Cang Xin immediately opened his mouth in surprise, and said faintly after a while: "This ...... Could this be a token of Anxin Building? He took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and the cow was very well carved and vivid.

"Where did I get it?" Mu Qingyan leaned lazily on the chair, smiling lightly. "Dig into Concubine Jing's origin and see who her master is!"

She thought about it in her heart, she didn't know if the dark piles of Anxinlou had spread all over the harem, keeping an eye on the movements in the palaces, or if Concubine Jing was already obeying the orders of the An family.

"An Yuqing is no different from Chu Li's arm, but after all, An Xinlou was in collusion with the King of Lucheng in the past, so it is necessary to find out more!" Cang Xin's expression was solemn.

Mu Qingyan's eyes narrowed slightly, "An Xinlou's ambition is not small, and An Yuqing is resourceful, I can't underestimate it, find someone to stare at me to death, don't let him take advantage of the loophole!" ”

The two of them analyzed the current situation in detail upstairs, and when they were talking about the beggars, Sijiu entered the backyard.

"Now that the city is under lockdown, the beggars are in chaos, how did you come in time?" Mu Qingyan smiled lightly and teased four or nine sentences.

Sijiu didn't answer, glared at Mu Qingyan and then turned his head to look at Cang Xin, "The beggar gang has mixed in with the spies, and as a disciple of the beggar gang, I have been aware of it as early as a month ago, but I can't find people in the shadows, and I don't dare to startle the snake." I got a tip today, that person will go to Lucheng, set off at night, and ask Lord Xin to help intercept it! ”

"Yo, Sijiu can finally stand alone, congratulations!" Mu Qingyan pinched his nails and said with a smile.

Sijiu puffed up his mouth angrily, "Young master, you can't laugh at me less!" Secretly, he muttered to himself, "This beggar gang is not mine!" ”

"Don't worry, that person is the dragon envoy planted by the young master in the beggar gang, and there is a woman-like ear hole on his left ear bone, just to avoid attracting the attention of the person in Lucheng." Cang Xin patted him on the shoulder and comforted.

Cang Xin didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, he exploded, "Young master!" After yelling at Mu Qingyan, he turned around angrily and left.

Mu Qingyan was shocked by his roar, and looked at Cang Xin helplessly, "It seems to be a big game!" But he smiled and bent over.

Cang Xin shook his head and walked out.

After noon, the sun is only a white shadow hidden in the clouds, as if frost and snow are coming.

The Praetorian Guards patrolling the city defended the streets and alleys of Linchuan City so that even a fly could not fly over, and all the restaurants and inns were picked up and closed to customers. The flower buildings on West Street were dead silent, and the sycamore leaves at the door all fell in front of the steps, whirling with the wind to create a bleak desolation.

In a small three-story building at the corner of Suzaku West Street, a plaque hangs on the terrace on the second floor, covered with a white cloth, and the wind blows through the corner of the red silk that was originally covered inside.

It was originally agreed that the plaque would be unveiled on the tenth day of October and the door would be opened to welcome guests, but it had to come to an abrupt end due to the emperor's funeral.

In the Lanyan Pavilion, the crazy jade was so angry that he stomped his feet.

"Sister Crazy Jade, you can be quiet, I have a pain in my head when I am noisy by you!" Mu Qingyan had a purple wolf king pen hanging on his left wrist, and two pieces of green jade ruler on the desk pressed a piece of rice paper. The painting looks like a beauty, with a hibiscus face and willow eyebrows, a lake-blue skirt, pink muscles and bones under the neck slightly exposed, holding a pipa in her arms, looking up at the moon.

"Okay, okay, don't make noise, don't make noise, you finish painting quickly." Crazy Yu came over in three steps and two steps, stretched out his head to look at the painting, "Tsk, if you see the child's question, I am afraid that I will only be impressed!" ”

Crazy jade's voice is soft and glutinous, whether she is angry or scolding, she has a sweet softness.

"Goblins! If the men in this world are fascinated by you, they are afraid that they are willing to die! Mu Qingyan glanced at her, lowered his head and drew again. It's just that my hand trembled slightly when I put down the pen.

Childe asked? She really wanted him to see if she had inherited his talent, but it was a pity...... The eye frame is a little sour, so I put up with it.

Crazy Yu's unintentional words plunged her into mourning.

She didn't know that because of her unintentional words, Crazy Jade hugged her knees and nested into the chair in the distance, sinking into the past, and the look in her eyes was haggard and pitiful.

In this world, all men are feminine, and a woman like her who is talented and good-looking and willing to bow down and be small is like a bee meeting honey, and she can't hide it privately and don't let her see outsiders. But he didn't love it, but he didn't love it, and he always hated that she would get out of his sight earlier, and never see her again.

It's been ten years, a whole ten years.

Crazy Yu suddenly figured out one thing, take the best color of a woman's ten years in exchange for a lifetime of infatuated love, enough! She couldn't think about him anymore, she couldn't think about him again!

Teng got up from the chair, floated down to the window, and resolutely left.

Mu Qingyan was so startled by her series of abnormalities that the pen that was filling in the ink fell into the wind inkstone, and she looked up and was about to be angry, but she jumped out of the window first and disappeared.

Mu Qingyan bit her fingers and twisted her thin eyebrows, moved to the window, and looked at the lake in a daze.

Dinner was served at Kam Lok Court.

Mu Zheng still looked serious.

Chu Han kept putting vegetables into Mu Qing's cigarette bowl, "Eat more, the outside is not as complete as at home, you have to take care of yourself, don't be wronged!" The look of love in his eyes gathered more and more, and it was about to overflow.

Mu Qingyan is only willing to let go of all his vigilance at this time, and the beautiful appearance without makeup is like the first bloom of magnolia, fresh and pure; The innocent smile on the corners of her lips was clean and bright.

secretly transferred the dish that Chu Han sandwiched to her into Mu Qinghan's bowl, and winked mischievously at Mu Qinghan. The corners of the eyes and eyebrows bring a touch of brightness, very pretty.

Chu Han just served her vegetables, and didn't care that she sent all the dishes to Mu Qinghan's bowl, and a dinner was eaten by the two of them to support Mu Qinghan.

Many years later, when she thought about this period of the past, she was often moved that although God insisted on taking back her parents, it also gave her the first meaning of pampering her even more.

Mu Zheng is not good at expressing feelings, but he hates parting. He didn't want to look at the doll raised in the palm of his hand to take risks, but he also knew her character, so he drove the three of them away early and stood alone on the shore of the lake in early winter, gloomy.

Mu Qinghan took out a handful of things from his arms, forced them into Mu Qingyan, and then turned around and left.

Chu Han took her back to Xiangxi Pavilion together.

Mu Qingyan saw clearly under the lamp that the thing was actually a silver ticket, which was quite a bit of a headache and puzzled.

Chu Han couldn't help but smile when he looked at her stunned appearance: "Han'er will take what Han'er gave you, he wants to tell you that he will always be your most solid retreat!" ”

Mu Qingyan's eyes were slightly hot again, and she nestled into Chu Han's arms.

After a night of trouble, Chu Han pestered and asked about the mother family, and the third watch waited for Chu Han to fall asleep before getting out of bed gently, putting on a piece of clothing and returning to Lanyan Pavilion.

Amber sent a few people to sleep, and she stayed downstairs in the painting hall.

Mu Qingyan quietly entered the door and saw the amber crooked on the table at a glance.

"Amber, get up and go back to your room and go to sleep!"

Amber raised her head with her eyes closed, and slowly opened her eyes to see that Miss was back, and immediately got up, "Miss, why did you come back?" It's cold, hurry upstairs and don't freeze! Without waiting for Mu Qingyan to react, he pulled her upstairs.

"Amber! Alas, Amber you stop! Mu Qingyan broke away from his hand, "It's the third watch, bring my baggage." ”

Amber was stunned for a moment, then ran upstairs over Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan carried the hem of her skirt and followed upstairs unhurriedly.

changed out of a gorgeous dress, put on a set of black night clothes that did not slip away, changed his appearance again, and covered his face with a black scarf. He reached out and took out a brocade box from the secret compartment of the wardrobe, opened the box, took the blood in his hand and played with it for a while, then put it in, and threw it into the bag along with the booklet in the box. Turning back to look at Amber, "I'm going to go on a long trip from today, and whoever asks will say that I'm sick in bed and don't see any outsiders." If necessary, use the method I taught you, throw Linglong makeup on the bed and pretend to be me! Don't panic in times of crisis, someone will come to help. ”

Amber had tears in her eyes, reluctantly.

Mu Qingyan sighed, took two steps forward and hugged her, "Don't worry!" ”

He took the burden from Amber's hand, took off the Xiaoyun Sword from the inner wall of the bed, and went downstairs without looking back.

Amber tears streamed down her cheeks and murmured, "Take care, Miss!" ”

Shuiyue Villa was originally built near the south gate, and within two moments it went out of the city, casting a flying immortal outside the sky, blowing towards Mochou Lake like a gust of wind.

Outside the Zhuangyuan Pavilion, Sanjiu led two horses and quietly looked at the direction of the capital, a moving black spot in the distance slowly became larger, and when it was nearly a hundred meters away, it was already clear that it was his young master who came.

Mu Qingyan collected the light work and fell in front of Sanjiu's eyes.

"Young master!" Sanjiu handed a rein to Mu Qingyan.

Mu Qingyan flew on the horse, clamped his legs between the horse's belly, "Let's go!" ”

Sanjiu also got on his horse, and the two horsemen galloped onto the official road, and chose the road to the south.

Lockdown for seven days.

The city lords of the twelve major cities of Eastern Chu received the national funeral and entered Beijing quickly, and at this time they all knelt outside the main hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple. Hundreds of monks are doing the last ritual for the deceased Emperor Ming and Chongqing, and all the princes and concubines are kneeling on the hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and paper.

The time of the personal deduction of the presiding officer of the Great Xiangguo Temple will be buried before sunrise tomorrow.

Qin Yan took over the purple gold tiger talisman mentioned in the edict from the hands of the queen, even if there were thousands of reluctances in his heart, he did not shirk at this time, and dutifully guarded the nobles of the east of this palace.

Outside the Great Xiangguo Temple, he was dressed in a Moxuan robe, a meteor horse under his crotch, an ice sword hanging from his waist, holding the reins of the horse in one hand, and commanding 100,000 soldiers and horses in the forbidden city to guard the palace to the Great Xiangguo Temple.

At that time, the coffin of Emperor Ming and Chongqing was lifted.

The imperial mausoleum was built in the jade mountain in the southwest of Mochou Lake, and the coffin was carried out of the Great Xiangguo Temple by sixty-four people to the jade mountain. The crown prince Chu Yue was the leader, the second prince, the third prince, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, the eighth prince and the tenth prince all walked around the coffin, and the thirteen princes were held by Gonggong Cai and followed the team.

The queen and the titled concubine Suyi knelt on the hall of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and the concubines who were fortunate enough to have no heirs were all killed yesterday and sent to the imperial tomb one step earlier. Those women who had never been fortunate were all shaved their hairs and sent to the Concubine Temple adjacent to the imperial mausoleum, where they chanted for the royal family all day long, and were not allowed to leave the temple gate for half a step. This is the practice of Eastern Chu for generations, and there are more senior grandmothers in the palace in charge of the affairs here.

The whole city was under martial law, and the funeral procession was transferred by Qin Yan to protect the 100,000 soldiers of the Zhongshan camp, Cheng Lei received Qin Yan's order to take 20,000 Praetorian Guards to guard the forbidden palace, and Chu Jing was solemnly isolated on the main hall.

Before the time came, urgent reports from all over the country were sent into the palace one after another.

Chu Jing sat on the chair with a low body, and was watched by a small eunuch who folded and folded, picking up the important ones and sending them out first, and this was a whole day.

The little eunuch reminded him three times that he should have some food, but he still hadn't heard it, and his wrist was so sore that he didn't stop before he dealt with all the state affairs that had accumulated in the past few days. Holding the sore neck with one hand, he beat his waist with the other, and only after a while did he hunch his waist and stand up slightly, slowly walking out of the hall.

"Lord Jing, the funeral procession is back. The prince was seriously injured and unconscious, and he had already arrived outside the palace gate! The Praetorian Guard, who hurried in, reported.

Chu Jing twisted his eyebrows, "Hurry up and wait for the imperial doctor, prepare for the horse, this king is going to take a look!" ”

Someone next to him ran to the outside of the hall, and came to report in a moment, "The horse is ready, Lord Jing, please!" ”

More than a dozen people from the Praetorian Guard surrounded Chu Jing, who was riding on a horse, and went to the palace where the prince temporarily lived in the forbidden city.

"What's going on, why is it hurt?" Chu Jing's voice was stern, and before he got off the horse, he shouted at the princes who were guarding the door and followed him.

The second prince and the fifth prince hurriedly approached, one of them took the reins with his own hands, and the other helped Chu Jing to get off the horse.

The Eighth Prince approached, and his eyes were still ruthless, "Grandpa King Jing, I was ambushed when I just arrived at Mochou Lake on the way back. ”

Chu Jing glanced at him before asking, "One hundred thousand soldiers and horses can also have an accident, when did Eastern Chu get to such an unbearable situation, what about Qin Yan?" ”

The second prince stepped forward, "After Qin Yan broke off with the sixth brother, he suddenly couldn't save him. ”

Chu Jing crossed everyone into the inner room, the crown prince Chu Yue's eyes were closed tightly, his face was frosty, and the imperial doctors cut open the filial piety clothes on his left chest, revealing the wound that had stopped bleeding.

The wound was in the heart, and the entire front body was soaked. Chu Jing took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to press on his neck vein, and then approached his nostrils, "The breath is quite stable, you can take medicine soon." He turned around and asked the prince's attendant, "Which one stopped the prince's bleeding?" ”

The prince's entourage was covered in blood, and many wounds on his body were still oozing blood, so he stepped forward and replied without saying a word, "It was General Qin who ordered the hemostatic acupuncture point and applied the golden medicine." ”

Chu Jing nodded and walked out of the inner hall, got on his horse and left.
