Chapter 537: No Hurry, No Hurry
Hu Xianxian knew that the silkworm was originally a wild silkworm stocked in the mountains, so it was called the silkworm. It is said that there is a valley on the other side of the sea that is full of wild silkworms that fend for themselves, and the villagers take cocoons and reel silk when they form cocoons, and the silk is particularly flexible and shiny. Over time, it was rumored that it was the cocoon left by the silkworm Niangniang to the Emperor of Heaven. Nowadays, the heavenly silk no longer refers to wild silk, but refers to this Dongying silk.
But she thinks that it is a legend made up in order to raise the price of silk, and it is really a silkworm Niangniang with very high mana, how can she be willing to produce cocoons for mortals without resisting?
Cheng Haofeng saw what she was thinking, and said: "I don't know if there is a silkworm Niangniang, but the quality of this Dongyingtian silk is indeed excellent." Unfortunately, silk is not easy to dye, so I asked them to try it many times before they got this water blue. ”
He asked her to take a look around, nodded in satisfaction, and then frowned and shook her head, because the silk robe fit her body and clearly outlined her delicate curves.
"This robe can only be worn for me, not for the out...... Fortunately, I have the little white flower dress on the blue background that you changed before, and I will change it again. He took the half-worn dress from his sleeve and handed it to her, and she smiled helplessly before changing it.
The two of them sat in the bubbles, and he said that since Cao Beidao was most likely related to the Emperor of Heaven, he would let the tea go first and see what they were going to do.
Hu Xianxian smiled at him and repeatedly emphasized that Cha'er couldn't mess with his heart, he felt that she didn't care much, and asked, "Do you believe in me very much, or don't you believe me at all?" ”
"Belief and disbelief between us are all linked by fate, and others can't change anything. If anyone really wants to get involved in our fate, they are asking for their own suffering, because the lives of the two of us are too hard. She smiled faintly, with a hint of helplessness.
She has always been frank and lively, and at this moment, Cheng Haofeng saw her rare silence and sorrow, her eyes were like the cold smoke of autumn water, and she couldn't help but feel pity.
He put his arm around her shoulders and comforted her softly: "At most, I will be able to put the government and the opposition in order in three years, and then I can rest assured that I will be able to entrust it to Han Zexi, and I should also be able to compare with the cultivation of the Emperor of Heaven, so we will ignore those little troubles." ”
She leaned on his shoulder and rubbed it in response to his words. He was tickled by rubbing, and the thoughts that were easily suppressed could no longer be endured, and the little beast that was about to move became a fierce beast that came out of the cage and returned to the mountain.
Hu Xianxian smiled bitterly, it was better for them not to work together, otherwise it was really easy to make mistakes. She was even more worried, in the past, he was always a little teasing when he was close to her, he had good self-control, and he almost never lost his temper in front of her, but now it seems to be more and more difficult to control himself?
The faint mint fragrance lingered, and he finally used the ink ice sword to eliminate his desires, and his intertwined bodies separated. She hadn't experienced a husband and wife, but she wasn't an idiot, and this time he hadn't kissed her, he hadn't taken off her shirt, but the way he leaned over and pressed down, and the movement of her legs on the winch was more dangerous than any previous intimacy.
Seeing her frowning, he still gasped and said, "Afraid of me? Don't be afraid...... I always have a trace of clarity in my heart, and I won't harm you. ”
"If you need me to do anything in the future, can you bring someone else with you? It's not good for us to ......."
"It's really not good, I realized that I was an out-and-out nasty embryo." Taixing Mansion has arrived, he said self-deprecating words, but his expression was quite pleasant, "Xianxian, I bullied you, you punish me, why do you say anything to bring other people along?" I don't like people bothering us. ”
"I hate it, what kind of sour things are you saying?"
He waved away the bubbles, landed hand in hand with her, and replied, "I didn't say anything sour, and don't feel sour in your heart." You can only have sweetness in your heart, and all other tastes will be eliminated. ”
The landing place was in the Qirui Palace, which had been converted into the former Shenjun Palace, and they were stopping outside the Qiuyang Pavilion, going to the study to find Cen Zaidao and ask the old princess for details at this moment.
As soon as Hu Xianxian lifted her steps, her steps fluttered, and the feeling of being swaying in her body had not completely disappeared, she embarrassed him to let him go: "You go to see Daochang Cen first, I'm a little soft and greasy, sit down and ......"
"Haha...... Very good, very good, see if you dare to push me to others. Seeing her blushing cheeks and her eyes full of spring, he smiled proudly. Afterwards, he went to the Qiuyang Pavilion with her to sit and rest for a while, and then went to see Cen Zaidao together.
Cen Zaidao saw them coming through the window in the study, and hurriedly greeted them: "Welcome to the national teacher and Hu Yuanjun." ”
Cheng Haofeng waved his sleeves to signal him to be polite, and went straight to the study to sit down, Cen Zaidao followed, and Hu Xianxian walked slowly at the end.
"Is the old princess still safe?" Cheng Haofeng opened his mouth and asked directly.
Faced with his inquiry, Cen Zaidao was stunned for a moment, and seeing that he was angry, Cen Zaidao hurriedly replied: "It's not that I don't care about the safety of the old princess, I can't answer the situation, it's that I really don't know ......"
This seems contradictory, if you have the intention to visit, how can you not know everything? Cheng Haofeng also trusted Cen Zaidao as a person who could be trusted, and he said with a soothing face: "Don't be anxious, Don't be in a hurry, talk about it slowly." ”
Cen Zaidao wiped the cold sweat on his forehead before saying, after the old princess moved to another courtyard next to the mausoleum, there were fewer people in the house, and Bian Cai only had a few old slaves to help him, so he would definitely not be able to make such a big move as Gonggong Li.
In the first few days, Cen Zaidao would go to see the old princess every day, wanting to take the opportunity to find out the situation so that the rescue would go more smoothly. Although he could not see the old princess, he would always hear her say a few words of promise to indicate that she was okay.
Three days ago, Cen Zaidao went to the small courtyard not far from the mausoleum, only to see that the courtyard was empty. I still asked the neighbors and learned that the old princess dismissed most of the slaves, and only took Bian Caiban, a personal grandmother, and two small servants to leave.
As for where the old princess took these four people, the neighbors couldn't tell. These neighbors are ordinary peasant households, and they don't know that the old princess has been held hostage, and even if they do, they don't dare to ask more.
Cen Zaidao asked all the Taoist children in Qirui Palace to go out to search all over the city, and he waited in the palace for them to send back news. Yes, he was the only one here when Cheng Haofeng and the two arrived.
Cheng Haofeng shook his head lightly: "You can't find out the news by doing this, and withdraw all the little Taoist boys." ”
"If the old princess disappears from now on, how can she explain to the emperor?" Cen Zaidao didn't understand why he didn't quickly gather more people to search, but gave up the search.
"If the old princess disappears from now on, what benefits can he get from planning these?" Cheng Haofeng raised his eyebrows slightly, "The more anxious we are to find it, the more patient they are with us." If we weren't in a hurry, they should be in a hurry. ”
Cen Zaidao understood what he meant, but it was very risky to do so, in case the old princess had three longs and two shorts, the emperor would never be able to spare him.
Cheng Haofeng saw him hesitating, and resolutely said: "If there is a difference, I will bear it." Before you come back, you let the little Taoist children tell people along the road that the national teacher came to worship the old prince and visit the old princess, and Qirui Palace will find a way to meet. ”
He wanted to raise his name first, so as not to be held accountable by Cen Zaidao, and at the same time, he also used word of mouth to let Bian Caiban know that he was coming.
Cen Zaidao was ordered to go out on errands, and Hu Xianxian asked him with a smile: "Do you want to lead Bian Procurement to take the initiative to contact you?" Find out where they're currently hiding? ”
He chuckled, took out another drawing, and said, "At this time, wait for the fox to come out of the hole, and don't be busy first." Take a look at the golden thorn depicted on this picture and guess who the strange assassin is. ”
Hu Xianxian saw that the weapon drawn on this drawing should be the weapon used to assassinate Han Zexi's strange man, and she couldn't see the name when she held it horizontally and vertically, so she could only speak by feeling.
"Hmm...... This weapon is rare, neither powerful nor agile...... Is it the essence of some youkai that is refining the weapon? If this weapon is deliberately built, it will definitely be difficult to use, and there are too many flaws; If it belongs to the ontology, it will be different, and it will be assisted by its own induction. ”
Cheng Haofeng nodded approvingly, and then asked her: "Well, it's a monster, can you tell what kind of monster it is?" ”
"I ...... I'm guessing, you are not allowed to laugh at me...... If this golden thorn is not golden, if it is not so straight, it looks like the horns of an antelope......"
"Antelope horns? ......He slowly recalled the details of that day's fight, and she buried her head and quietly stuck out her tongue.
"Yes, it's the Ghost Golden Sheep!" Cheng Haofeng's eyes lit up, and Hu Xianxian held his forehead with his hand and smiled bitterly. She is really guessing, and he really thinks in the direction of "sheep".
"You easily beat him away, showing that his mana is not very high, the ghost golden sheep is the lord of the stars, how can he escape after a few tricks from you?" She disagreed with his speculation.
Cheng Haofeng explained with a smile: "It's not a ghost golden sheep star official who holds one of the twenty-eight nights, but a special animal.
Because this kind of sheep can naturally absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth, even wolves dare not eat it, this race claims to be the offspring of the ghost golden sheep star official and the mortal antelope, raising the identity of the race.
However, the star official in charge of the ghost golden sheep is originally a human being, not an animal at all, and has nothing to do with the antelope. ”
Hu Xianxian smiled and gave him a thumbs up, "You know so much, the guy who dared to assassinate the emperor is really a sheep demon?" It's just that these sheep demons pretend to be the descendants of the ghost Golden Sheep Star Official, why don't the star officials defend themselves and let them talk nonsense? ”
"Justification? How to justify? It's just going to get darker and darker. Besides, if the star official really had something to do with the sheep demon, the Emperor of Heaven would have removed him from his position a long time ago, and anyone with a discerning eye knew the reason. As for the mortal world to spread rumors, it won't harm the ghost Golden Sheep Star official. Cheng Haofeng explained these things clearly, and smiled at Hu Xianxian strangely.
"Laughing so wickedly, ...... evil"
"I remembered that the reason why this sheep demon was able to cultivate more easily than other sheep was because of a peculiarity. Well...... I was reminded that you can't let a woman catch a sheep demon. He didn't say it explicitly, but Hu Xianxian knew that the sheep was greedy for adultery, and his natural desires would definitely intensify after becoming a demon.
Hu Xianxian didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and the little Taoist children sent by Cen Zaidao also came back one after another, so she asked them if they had anything to visit.
Until the twelfth day of the winter month, they were preparing for the meeting on the surface, and secretly always paid attention to whether there would be any movement in Bian Procurement. But a few days have passed, just like Bian Caiban and the old princess disappeared forever so silently, there was no news, let alone taking the initiative to find them.
"Haofeng, do you want to report this situation to the emperor? Let him order a nationwide search for Bian procurement? Hu Xianxian was a little anxious, if the old princess had an accident, how should she explain?
"Don't worry, if Bian Caiban had the courage to attack the old princess directly, something would have happened a long time ago, and he wouldn't have made so many detours." Cheng Haofeng brushed her sideburns and said, "I will take you with me in everything I do in the future, so that you can know me better, and then you can fully trust me." ”
