Chapter 25: The Strange Story of Life and Death
"Ah Sheng, are you okay? I heard that you fell off a cliff and were seriously injured? Okay now?! Zhao Li saw Qin Sheng's mark on Changle Street early in the morning, and immediately avoided the crowd and came to see her.
The two sat in the Accord of the Red Mansion, and when it got dark, the Red Mansion became a good place to talk about secrets. Chu Bufan took off his hood, took out the ransom money he dug in the backyard that day, pushed the box, and gave it all to Zhao Li.
"Long story short, Ah Li, we have to act quickly, otherwise I don't know if I can come out to see you when Li Xian and I get married in the future. You take this money and help me get some people in the city. With that, Chu Bufan stopped and listened quietly to the sounds around him, and after making sure that everything was fine, for the sake of safety, he walked up to Zhao Li and covered his mouth and told him what he had done.
Zhao Li frowned, and asked rhetorically, "Li Xian will believe it?" ”
"He will believe, at least show faith, otherwise he will not even be able to retain the reputation of infatuation." Chu Bufan said sarcastically, and then instructed Zhao Li a few more words, put on his hood and disappeared into the Red Mansion in a flash. After a tea time, Zhao Li also put on his cloak and left there.
"Have you heard? Jiang Guo had a vegetable seller who was tired to death, his wife cried miserably, and the morgue was stopped for a long time, but he didn't expect the vegetable seller to live again seven days later! ”
"Who's alive again?! The man who sells vegetables is not alive! Seven days later an old man came and pointed to the widow and called her daughter-in-law, saying that she was the one who had died seven days before, and when she heard her weeping so much, she came back. As a result, when I came back, my appearance changed. ”
"You can't be a liar, can you?!"
"It's not a liar, this matter has gone to the official mansion, the official asked for several days, and found that this old man and the person who died before acted in exactly the same style, and asked him about the affairs of the family, which year and month made it clear."
“……”
On Changle Street, both the children and the elderly talked about this unsolved matter. Zhou Youhu suspiciously listened all the way back from Changle Street, and when he entered the door, he saw the prince Li Xian with a dignified face.
"Master," Zhou You bowed, looking at the appearance of the crown prince Li Xian, and couldn't help asking: "Is the master an anecdote that was accidentally passed on?" ”
Li Xian didn't speak, he stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the red plum in the courtyard, he pinched a red plum blossom, turned his head and said: "I don't know if it's true or not, if you can go through life and death, it's also a great thing." ”
Zhou You suddenly thought of Qin Sheng, could it be that Li Xian said this because he was thinking about Qin Sheng?!
"Master, how can such a mysterious thing be taken seriously, Zhou You thinks it must be hearsay." Zhou You was a little apprehensive, now at this time, His Majesty gave the noble daughter to Li Xian to pull him, Li Xianwan can't make any more mistakes.
"You are ready to enter the palace with me, Jiang Guo's proton has been in Liang Country for a long time, and we haven't seen each other yet." Li Xian pinched the red plum blossom, and his fingertips were cold.
Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Xian didn't mention Qin Sheng. "The master will be later, and Zhou You will arrange it immediately."
Li Xian watched Zhou You leave quickly, and out of the corner of his eye, he looked at the ruined red plum that fell to the ground, and his eyes were covered with a fog, and when Zhou You came back, the fog did not dissipate.
Jiang Guo's proton step into the dust was arranged in the Wenyuan Palace in the palace of Liang State, next to the prince's palace, although it is a proton, it also has the courtesy of the prince, and the situation is not too bad. But because of Jiang's backward economy and the establishment of the country on horseback, in the face of the prosperous and multi-soldier Liang State, he always felt that he was very controlled.
Bu Luochen gradually became familiar with the court of Liang State, and unlike the displeasure when he first came, he slowly accepted it.
Early this morning, Prince Leng Yu suddenly said that he wanted to visit, Li Xian was Chu Bufan's future husband, and he and Chu Bufan were on that night...... Every time I think of this, Bu Luochen feels a tightness in my chest. He has always been simple, and the world is suitable for him, and somehow, whenever he thinks of that person, he gradually convinces himself that as long as she is there, no matter where she is, she is the way back.
It's ridiculous to think about it, the two have only met once, and they haven't been together for half a day, why did he have such a ridiculous idea?
"Luochen has long heard that the prince of Liang is suave and suave, and he is the most temperamental, when I saw it today, the prince is really personable, but why is His Royal Highness the prince full of sorrow, isn't there something to worry about?" Bu Luochen looked at the crown prince Li Xian, who was sitting opposite him, knocking his right hand up and down on the table, looking bored and very curious.
Li Xian slowly looked up at the happy appearance of the young man in Luochen, and said with a slight smile: "My situation, you must also know, I envy Luochen for your laughter." ”
Bu Luochen squinted his eyes slightly, he knew Li Xian's situation, Li Xian was probably not as good as him in Liang Guo, he picked up the teacup and took a big sip, and praised again and again, "Well, this big leaf tea is very good, it tastes very similar to my Jiang Guo's Liuzhou tea, Liang Guo really has a treasure." ”
Li Xian looked at the young man opposite who didn't want to take his words at all, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although this young man looked out, but he was very smart.
Knocking on the table with his right hand, Bu Luochen stared at Li Xian's movements, feeling that the atmosphere became a little awkward, and he said after a while: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has something to ask me?" ”
Li Xian's right index finger knocked on the table, and the fine wood was knocked out of a crisp sound, Li Xian looked up at him, and asked indifferently: "I heard that the Jiang State has the Wu Clan, and the Wu Clan knows all the strange things in the world, and the emperor's hegemony assisted by the Wu Clan is clear, I am very curious." ”
Bu Luochen's face changed slightly, thinking that the prince of the Liang Kingdom asked the Wu Clan, could it be that he had the idea of moving the Wu Clan? But he asked so directly, a bit of a place without three hundred taels of silver, such a smart prince would not ask such a stupid question.
"The Wu clan is in charge of sacrifices, and they know a lot of things, but they are not so bizarre, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince has any unsolvable doubts to ask the Wu clan?" In addition to the stupid idea of moving the Wu Clan, Bu Luochen guessed that Li Xian, the cold prince, might want to ask the Wu Clan about his future. After all, the witch clan's ability to ask divination is very smart.
The Wu clan is a god-like existence in Jiang country, all the sacrifices in the country are presided over by the Wu clan, and the saint of the Wu clan has magical abilities that the world does not know. But the witch never appears in front of outsiders, and if necessary, she will definitely hide her identity, Li Xian didn't know the existence of the witch, he asked like this, and Bu Luochen naturally suspected that he had the idea of asking about his future.
Who knew that Li Xian held the teacup in his right hand, and saw the tea leaves floating up and down in the water, but asked: "If someone dies, will you use a special method to let her come back?" ”
Bu Luochen was a little surprised, thought about it, and asked rhetorically: "What are the things that came out there?" ”
"Hmm."
"Luochen doesn't know very well, but I have seen in the Wu Clan's chronicles that there are people who were choked to death and escaped from the grave after being buried. Who is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince going to resurrect? Bu Luochen thought about it, there are two important people in the life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, one is the first queen, and the other is a prostitute, it can't be that prostitute.
"Could it be the first queen? But the first queen has been gone for a long time, and I am afraid that even if there is a way, she will not come back. Bu Luochen said, he felt that what he said was ridiculous, although he believed that the Wu clan had the ability to bring the dead back to life, but only because the Wu Clan's pharmacopoeia was very good at helping the world and saving people, but he didn't dare to buckle the big hat when it came to resurrecting the dead.
Li Xian's right hand instantly used force, the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, the teacup was held by him, and the water in the cup shook up and down in a circle.
"Your Highness, don't we witch clans often do spiritualist rituals for some people who have died tragically? I heard Wu Yue say that there are also survivors. Lingchen came in with a snack and interjected when he heard the two talking.
"Don't be rude, how can you interject here! Go down! Bu Luochen's eyes swept over Lingchen, blaming him for saying too much, there was something wrong with the appearance of this prince Li Xian, if Lingchen's words were listened to by him, something big would happen, I was afraid that they would not have good fruit to eat in Liang Kingdom.
"His Royal Highness forgives his sins, and the Prince of Liang State forgives his sins!" Lingchen was taken aback, and suddenly remembered that this was not their Jiang Guo, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty.
However, Li Xian didn't blame him, he let go of the teacup and stood up after a while, but he wanted to say goodbye: "When you bother the proton for a long time, Li Xian still has something to do, and I will visit next time." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince, please." Bu Luochen got up and saluted, but before he could stand up, Li Xian dropped his hand, pushed the door by himself, and left in three or two steps.
"Your Highness, did I say the wrong thing to make the prince of Liang unhappy? Will he cut me?! Lingchen asked cautiously, and Bu Luochen glanced at him reproachfully, "This is no better than Jiang Guo, that person is the prince of Liang State, so be careful when you speak in the future." ”
"Lingchen knows." Lingchen shrunk his neck and said, still a little afraid.
"You go and send someone to find out what Chu Bufan has been doing recently, I always feel that Li Xian will have a movement in the past two days." Bu Luochen said worriedly, he looked at Li Xian's expression, as if he was desperate.
"Your Highness, Miss Chu is the future wife of the Prince of Liangguo, it has nothing to do with you, why do you always think about her?!" It's good to think of it as a dream. And you should think about Miss Chu, don't you like her, if Wu Yue knows about her existence, Wu Yue kills people and sets fire, then Miss Chu will only be bullied! Lingchen muttered, he didn't want to do this, and when he said Wu Yue, he trembled.
"Lingchen, am I usually too good to you? Don't listen to the master?! ”
"I know, I know, Lingchen will immediately send someone to investigate, and keep it to notify you before Miss Chu suffers a loss, so that you can Ying! Male! Save! Beauty! Lingchen's words were long, Bu Luochen stretched out his hand to teach him a lesson, Lingchen ran away in a smoke, Bu Luochen didn't have time to take care of Lingchen, and looked sideways at the teacup that Li Xian had pinched on the table, a thin slit slowly cracked along the mouth of the cup, and the tea came out.
In the Accord on the second floor of the Red Mansion at night, Liu Cheng stared at Chu Bufan, who was wearing a dark hood in front of him, with an inexplicable look in his eyes, Chu Bufan's words made him slightly startled, and he subconsciously asked, "What do you want a human skin mask for?" ”
Chu Bufan looked at Liu Cheng with his chin on his back, and there was a coldness in his eyes, "Of course I want to make Li Xian's life-seeking charm," she smiled, "Why, why can't you guess what I'm going to do when you're so smart?" ”
Liu Cheng looked at Chu Bufan's somewhat chapped lips, and carried the teapot to refill a cup of water for her, Chu Bufan took the tea and drank it all, carefully placed the teacup on the teapot to make sure it didn't fall, she raised her head and looked at Liu Cheng and said, "Am I very powerful?" ”
Liu Cheng's eyes were fixed on the teacup, Chu Bufan stretched out a finger, and with a flick of it, the teacup fell crookedly, "Crackle!" "Fell to the ground with a thud and shattered.
"Ascending will fall heavily, not to mention that Li Xian has no foundation, after the matter is completed, let's have a drink in the Red Mansion openly! I'm in for a treat! Chu Bufan finished speaking with a smile, but the corners of her mouth were obviously cold, she stood up and pushed open the window, and disappeared in the backyard of the Red Mansion, Liu Cheng looked at the scenery outside, and there was no moon tonight.
