Hu Xianxian felt a little chill in her heart, but she still stopped Qiao Chushi from continuing with her eyes, and she kowtowed again, "It's all up to the prince." ”

Seeing that she did not urge King Shenjun to act as soon as possible, and the others were not easy to urge, after the others said goodbye and King Shenjun also left, Hu Xianxian dragged his tired body back to his residence.

She washed her face and feet numbly, and Mu Ran listened to Aunt Zhou happily saying that this time the immortal became famous in one fell swoop, and it was only a matter of time before Hongbin Lou prospered again.

She lay upright on the bed, not even having the strength to turn over, she didn't fall asleep but didn't want to open her eyes. She let her thoughts diverge in the emptiness, ignoring the clues and not guessing the outcome, her whole heart was in chaos.

The next day, Hu Xianxian got up early and went to the small kitchen used by the county lord to prepare breakfast. When she was ready, she asked Ah Lu where the prince and the old princess had breakfast.

Ah Lu said that King Shenjun had gone out to invite Ge Peidong, the former prince of the former country who held a sacrifice for the old prince. And the old princess has gone to the City God Temple to offer incense.

Hu Xianxian had to ask the other guests if they could have breakfast, and after going out to ask around, Ah Lu asked Hu Xianxian to send breakfast to Qiuyang Pavilion.

There was only Cen Zaidao in the Qiuyang Pavilion, Qiao Chushi and Steward Zhou were there, and Steward Zhou smiled bitterly when he saw Hu Xianxian, "Okay, you yellow-haired girl, you actually deceived me." ”

Hu Xianxian sent the preserved egg and lean porridge to Steward Zhou first, "Uncle Zhou, since you already know the truth, you should know the hardships of Xianxian." If you want to punish the immortals, the immortals have no complaints, but unfortunately it makes the gang of bandits happy and loses the face of the county king's mansion. ”

Steward Zhou snorted, "You dare to say this when you see that the prince is not to blame." Fortunately, as soon as I came back, I went to Yizhou, and I was going to hit the prince's anger, and my old bones were finished. He shook his head as he ate.

Hu Xianxian then brought the mung bean cake and red dates and wolfberry white fungus soup to Cen Zaidao, and then brought the lotus leaf lotus seed soup to Qiao Chushi.

She stood aside and listened to the three of them chatting slowly, and Cen Zaidao asked Steward Zhou when this small garden was repaired, and why he had been out of such a garden for more than a year. Steward Zhou said that he had just gone out to travel not long ago, and his junior brother Cao Beidao proposed to repair it.

"Cao Beidao? What does he know? Cen Zaidao put the bowl down heavily, and then felt that he shouldn't say that his junior brother was not in front of outsiders, "Senior Brother Cao is good at medical skills, and he knows nothing about this feng shui, and I blame me for not telling him not to move the layout of the palace at will." ”

Steward Zhou asked, "This little garden is not good?" Cao Daochang said that it was repaired according to the yin and yang figures, and the yin half of the garden was planted with poplars, weeping willows, and locust trees, which was a good place to relieve the heat and enjoy the cool in summer. And the yang here can enjoy chrysanthemums and drink tea when the autumn is high and cool, and can absorb more sun righteousness, and can resist the invasion of cold in winter. ”

Cen Zaidao shook his head when he heard this, "Poor Dao has nothing to say, there is really nothing to say." ”

Qiao Chushi couldn't help but laugh when she heard this, "Daoist Cao is coaxing you to play, right?" Who said that building a garden according to the pattern of yin and yang can absorb yin and gather yang? This Qiuyang Pavilion is okay, although it is not good, but the scenery is good and does not damage the luck. ”

She pointed to Xia Yin Pavilion and laughed: "It is indeed a good place to enjoy the coolness, and there will be a chill on dog days." It's just that this cold qi is not pure yin and ice cold qi, but a depressed qi where resentful souls gather. ”

Cen Zaidao said: "This yin-yang-shaped garden is still a place where fortune is leaked and lost, because these two halves of the garden each have a small door leading to the outside of the big garden, and there are two small doors inside, which is to suck the original glory and righteousness of the palace here." The prince will feel comfortable staying here for a while, and he will have the satisfaction of being able to control everything by himself, but over time, he will ......"

"Will you be stubborn and conceited, and be suspicious?" Hu Xianxian blurted out.

Steward Zhou hurriedly looked around, and said, "Alas, you, fortunately, there are no people who can't see the bottom line here." ”

Qiao Chushi frowned and said, "The prince is indeed not as good as before. ”

Everyone was silent for a while, and Hu Xianxian asked a little maid to collect the dishes and chopsticks and then turned around between Qiuyang Pavilion and Xiayin Pavilion a few times. When she returned to Qiuyang Pavilion, she asked Cen Zai: "Cen Zhenren, can this feng shui be changed if it is not good?" ”

Cen Zaidao smiled and asked, "Miss Hu still knows how to change feng shui?" ”

Hu Xianxian said: "I don't understand. It's just that I think that Feng Shui shouldn't be a showmanship, it has to be of some practical use. I just saw that there was no place to drain rainwater in this small garden, and because the brick wall separated it from the outer garden, it could not flow to the outer garden. ”

Steward Zhou nodded and said, "When it rains heavily in summer, it will accumulate water for several days. ”

Hu Xianxian looked left and right, "This garden is not big, and there is not enough space to dig ditches and wells on both sides, and it is not elegant." I wonder if you can draw the water from the reeds outside the colorful pavilion to turn this place into an island? ”

Steward Zhou said: "It's not difficult, just dig a small ditch around this small garden like digging a moat." When the time comes, set up a few stone steps in the ditch and wade into the park, and the prince will find it more interesting. ”

Cen Zaidao shook his head, "Water gathers yin qi, and it provokes resentment even more." You can only solve the drainage problem. ”

Qiao Chushi said: "Not necessarily. The groundwater of the reeddang wetland over there is the living water that can pass through the river, and the water is diverted around this garden, and the water returns to the reeds, and finally returns to the rivers, lakes and seas. In this way, the cycle repeats, yin and yang and confluence, do not gather and inhale, do not disperse and damage qi, only the elegance and tranquility of the deep garden. If a lotus flower is planted in the ditch, it can also turn the yin qi into clear qi. ”

Cen Zaidao walked around the garden by himself, and after returning to Qiuyang Pavilion to sit down, he said, "When the prince returns to the house, I will discuss this matter with him." ”

A few people told some anecdotes about the influential figures in the court, and Hu Xianxian tried his best to understand them, and made lunch for them at lunchtime. In the afternoon, she begged Steward Zhou to give her two ingots of silver and two hours to go out.

After Hu Xianxian went out, he went to find the group of people who came with him from Gaojia Village, and soon found the bearded Gao Youshan who was about to drool when he saw her in the casino two streets away from the palace. She pulled him out by the ear and made the gambler think that his wife had found him.

"Don't tease, don't tease," he screamed, "I haven't passed the door yet." You're too ruthless! You eat and drink spicy food in the palace, and your brother is a little lucky, and you owe a lot of debts. ”

Hu Xianxian let go of him, "Don't shout, I'll send you money." ”

Gao Youshan's eyes lit up, "Where is it?" Our brother Biao is angry, and he sent a message saying that he would burn your Hongbin Building. It was still Ye San's boss who said that he believed that I could make a lot of money, so he didn't move Hongbin Building and didn't let me go back. ”

Hu Xianxian heard a "grunt" in his heart, and was relieved to hear that they didn't make a move. She handed him a silver ingot: "Brother Shan, this is a silver ingot of ten taels, don't let anyone else know, take it quickly." Also, the big money is not there yet, but it will be soon! ”

She took out another ingot of silver: "You can exchange this ingot of silver into copper coins and divide it with everyone, and then invite some small ruffians to come and sing songs around this palace." ”

"Singing ballads? What to sing? The people in the palace have listened to a lot of dramas, and they rarely listen to songs? ”

"You don't care, just let me do things." She took out another piece of paper: "Let them sing according to this, you can memorize it first, so that you can teach them." ”

Gao Youshan took the paper and turned it upside down, "I can't read." ”

Hu Xianxian sighed and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw a figure flicker, and she hurriedly pulled Gao Youshan back to the small inn where they lived. She closed the door and burned the paper.

Gao Youshan was puzzled by her actions, "What are you burning for?" To sing or not to sing? ”

Hu Xianxian took out a small jade pendant and handed it to Gao Youshan: "Brother Shan, this jade pendant is also worth some money, you can take it." Please take someone out of the city and wait for me, as soon as I leave the city, you will have people come and kidnap me, whether I go out of the city alone or with a group of people, they will come and kidnap me, okay? ”

Gao Youshan touched his head, "Aren't we in a group?" ”

Hu Xianxian took back the jade pendant, "Do you listen to my arrangement?" ”

Gao Youshan snatched back the jade pendant, "Listen, listen." When he saw that Hu Xianxian was leaving, he suddenly said, "I just remembered something." Brother Biao didn't touch the people in your Hongbin Building, he arrested the kid who drove the car, and tortured him to ask him if you have any Buddha treasures. ”

"Brother Bolt? I just got in his car. Hu Xianxian shouted.

Gao Youshan said: "But you have been closest to him these days, and you came to Taixing by his car." This kid didn't rush back to Lingzhou after sending you, he stayed there to work when he arrived in Yizhou. Brother Biao only found him the day before yesterday, and this kid still refused to admit that he was a bolt, saying that he had all recognized the wrong person. Is there a plenum that recognizes the wrong person? Brother Biao's most affordable subordinate is Youquan, and Brother Biao often says that there is no treasure but not all ...... smart"

Hu Xianxian recalled Gao You's all-black and thin appearance, he was more clever than Gao Youbao. Cheng Haofeng can see through Gao Youbao at a glance, but he can't see through Gao Youquan, who is no different from ordinary fishmongers. Gao Youquan even had the same fishmonger smell as those fishmongers who went to Changkang County to collect fish, and a pair of hands that were white and wrinkled by water blisters.

She remembered Cheng Haofeng's appearance when she swept the name of Cheng Haofeng in her mind, and she shook her head and threw his appearance out of her mind.

She said to Gao Youshan: "Brother Shan, you are a sincere person, you have to listen to me, I will make you rich." Remember, get out of town as soon as possible. ”

After explaining to Gao Youshan, Hu Xianxian first went back to Steward Zhou's house to pack up his things, and then went to see King Shenjun. She waited outside her study until it was dark, and King Shenjun returned. But King Shenjun then changed his clothes and held a banquet to entertain the eunuchs sent by the emperor to send sacrifices, and then talked with Cen Zaidao. As the time came, King Shenjun sent his slave away and let her into his study.

King Shenjun glanced at her, tapped his fingers on the bookcase, and said, "This king is going to rest, and you must finish talking about anything before the hour." ”

Hu Xianxian said calmly: "You really want to do something, but you have too many concerns, I originally wanted to find some people to sing some so-called Heavenly Machine Prophecy ballads this afternoon to dispel your worries." ”

King Shenjun chuckled, "It's the kind of ballad that boasts that this king is a true dragon and will save all the people from fire and water, right?" Master Cen also said that the Yin Yang Garden was rebuilt, saying that it could lead water to nourish dragon qi, and protect the dragon from flying to the heavens and transform the five-clawed golden dragon. It seems, or is it your suggestion? ”

Hu Xianxian pursed his lips, "I only said how to drain the stagnant water so that the garden will not be flooded in the rainy season." As for the words of leading water to raise dragon qi, it was added by Daochang Cen himself, and he didn't want you to waste time and wear out your ambitions. ”

"Wear out ambition? This king is already extremely rich, what kind of ambition do you need? ”

Hu Xianxian didn't respond to his rhetorical question, but looked straight into his eyes: "Why did the old prince steal the Buddha treasure?" Is it to hear that people can win the hearts of the people when they get the Buddha treasure? Why does Mr. Shen not want to be an official, but do his best for the affairs of the county king's mansion? Do you want to support a master of Zhongxing to come out and be praised for centuries? The people around the prince all want their masters to be the masters of the world, in that case, they will not be Qingke who eats mixed rice but an old man! ”

"You, how dare you slander this king?" King Shenjun was about to call someone, and after a moment's pause, he asked softly, "What Buddha treasure did you say?" Do you slander even those who have passed away? My father secretly exchanged Buddha treasures, who would believe this rumor. ”

"Pan Zongqiang can let me know, and he will let others know, if Pan Zongqiang and I are both dead, someone will spread the word. When the time comes, even if we die, others will know that you killed us to hide the news! ”

"What about the rumors? The emperor is not going to kill me for the sake of rumors. ”

"The master of Shanfu Temple can be highly respected by the queen mother, and Master Faluo has always been at odds with the master of Yuanmingguan, Pi Zhuandao, who is the senior brother of Cen Zhenren."

Seeing that King Shenjun was still indifferent, she continued: "Lord Wang, what will happen to you when your right hand is cut off one by one? And, the old prince has always respected the Buddha, like to listen to the monks' plans, Shanfu Temple is not that there is a difference in the Buddha's treasure, but it is not easy to say. And you are far away from the Buddha and close to the Tao, and they have already made them complain, as long as someone testifies, will the monks of Zenfu Temple not pursue you? ”

King Shenjun was silent for a long time with a cold face, and suddenly touched his nose and smiled: "You have heard a lot of rumors in the past few days, but the big secret you think is just the whining of the people below in this palace." No matter how stinky is, it can't become ironclad evidence, and this king doesn't bother to pay attention to them. ”

"Really? The people of the various vassal palaces are not afraid of being picked out by the emperor? So what are you always guarding against? I went out to find someone, and what did you send someone to do with me? “

Hu Xianxian took a step forward and continued: "You are not only afraid that the emperor will say that you interfere in local government affairs, but also afraid that your cronies will use these things to coerce you and empty your power after the matter is completed. You don't want to be suppressed, you don't want to be suppressed by the emperor, you don't want to be suppressed by Mr. Shen and others. ”

"Being suppressed by others, not being able to do what you think and want, this kind of life is really boring!" His eyes lit up with pride, and then he became cold again: "Then you still incite them to keep putting pressure on this king?" Still using the secret things of the past to blackmail the king? ”

"I have a way to make Pan Zongqiang and I can't blackmail you, you can ask Mr. Shen to bring the real Buddha treasure to quietly exchange for a fake in the name of worshipping the Buddha. Anyway, you know very well that those Buddha treasures are treasures to practitioners, and they are completely useless to you. ”

"You say so, you think this king will be reluctant to send the Buddha treasure back? My father wanted to use this treasure to envelop a sect of Buddhism in Fanbang, but this king was only close to the Taoist sect and didn't want to envelop them anymore. This king will send someone to return the Buddha treasure tomorrow, see what tricks you have? ”

"I don't have any tricks. Lord, the rest depends on you. “

King Shenjun laughed: "If there is any leakage, this king will not admit that it has anything to do with it." ”

Hu Xianxian nodded slightly, and King Shenjun gave her a bag of things. Then, King Shenjun was furious and called his family to drive Hu Xianxian out of the city overnight. Hu Xianxian cried and ran to the guest room where Qiao Chushi lived, and then cried and begged for help.

Qiao Chushi interceded for Hu Xianxian, and King Shenjun agreed not to chase her. Hu Xianxian presented them with a tea of thanks, and King Shenjun and Qiao Chushi were both stunned. Hu Xianxian didn't take much trouble to get out of the palace in the name of Qiao Chushi and the prince quarreling and wanting to return to Qionglian Palace overnight.

Qiao Chushi's two disciples had a car, Qiao Chushi and Hu Xianxian had a car, and when they went out of the city gate, the soldiers guarding the city saw that it was the people from Qionglian Palace, and they easily let them out of the city. In the moonlit night, Hu Xianxian sighed in his heart, he finally went out of the city to take action, although the result was unpredictable, but there was also a fight that was not slaughtered by others.

She only hopes that Gao Youshan can rob herself, and she will take advantage of the situation to join Qiao Chushi as a 'vote for fame', so that she can re-enter Gaojia Village as an internal response. Also, the martial arts of Qiao Chushi's two disciples should not be too strong, otherwise Gao Youshan would not be able to defeat them, and they would not be able to rob them.
