Chapter XXVII: The Woman in the Portrait
Is this someone talking about him?
"It can't be Xiao Chi's kid, right?" The man's eyes darkened, and Xiao Chi's beaten face appeared in his mind, "I guess it's healed, and I'm starting to shiver again." ”
A cool breeze blew through the grass and trees in the garden, and the man raised his hand to touch his hot ears and looked at the northwest sky again. The loose sleeves slipped down, revealing the wound on the wrist.
"Your Highness." A black shadow flashed in front of the man, bowing his head and presenting a roll of letter paper with both hands: "The people from Beile have delivered the news." ”
The man reached out to take it, quickly unfolded the palm-sized letter to read, and the black shadow quietly disappeared into the darkness. Not far away, Zale was eating the pastry alone.
After a while, the man put down the letter paper, clenched it tightly in his hand, his expression was complicated, and he muttered, "Master......"
The sun was shining brightly, and the man was soon sweating. Zale was gone, leaving only a scrap of pastry.
"You're a liar."
……
The snow-white carrier pigeon fluttered its wings, crossed the mountains and mountains, flew over the rivers, and headed towards the Wusui Mountain of the Nanzhou Dynasty.
Wu Sui Mountain, formerly known as Tai Sui Mountain, is picturesque, and is the place where the most magnificent mountain villa under the name of a regent of the Nanzhou Dynasty hundreds of years ago is located. Later, this prince joined forces with the people in the martial arts, in a vain attempt to unify the four dynasties, and became a feudal lord of the world, and was strangled by the four dynasties and the martial arts forces at that time.
The two sides fought for half a month, and finally the regent was outnumbered and killed himself in Taisui Mountain. After that, the four dynasties and Wulin carried out a complete liquidation with the idea that they would rather kill by mistake and never let go.
But there are still remnants of the escape, so the then martial arts alliance leader and the four dynasties in power changed Taisui Mountain to Wusui Mountain, set up Taiwu monument, carved white stone order to supervise the world, and pushed the previous generations of martial arts alliance leaders and masters to station in Wusui Mountain, in case the remnants and ill-intentioned people messed up the world again.
Several huge bluestones were full of carrier pigeons, and the children neatly untied the letter boxes on the pigeon's legs and picked them up in wooden square plates.
There is a special person to send it to the white stone building in the villa to tidy up.
On the pear blossom wooden chair in the study of the villa sat an old man with goosebumps, the old man had white beard and white hair, dressed in a gray coarse cloth short coat, and had an unusual arrogance between his eyebrows.
He was holding the handle with both hands, looking tired, and there was a pile of stationery on the bookcase, all of which were about unrest.
"Elder Yan, can you solve the urgent need?" Next to the window, Lu Yizhi, the leader of the Lin League, who was standing with his hands in his hands, frowned, and turned to ask Elder Yan.
He has long passed the year of destiny, and he has several grandchildren, and he thought that he would be able to enjoy his old age after sixty-one. Who knew that after more than 100 years, there was turmoil again in the Four Dynasties, and the most terrible thing was that more than 70 years ago, the Baishi Order that supervised the world was stolen and has not been recovered.
He admits that he was negligent in his duties, but the broken stone has not been seen for so many years, how can he find it?
If someone really wants to find it back, he will thank him!
Without the White Stone Order that monitors the world, Wusui Villa will be useless and useless. In less than half a month, the letter paper that came to him asking for help and the paper ashes that burned him could bury him alive!
Yan Lao's withered hand took out a piece of the letter paper and handed it to Lu Yizhi, who hurriedly took it and read: "Wu Sui Shan personally enlightened:
Beile suffered a great chaos, which affected Linchuan, Xujun, and Jicheng, and Xiaozhou City was destroyed in one day, and a large number of weapons were lost.
Look......"
Lu Yizhi's next words were stuck in his throat, he flipped through the letter, read it carefully, and wondered: "Doesn't Beile have five major prefectures?" Why are there only four places written on the letterhead? ”
"It's Qingyu Ling."
Lu Yizhi raised his head, just in time to see the glint in Yan Lao's eyes. Putting the letter back on the bookcase, Lu Yizhi said in surprise: "The treasure of the town gate of the Nine Green Gate, the green jade token?" ”
Yan Lao nodded, and took out a few notes from the hidden pocket of his sleeve and showed them to Lu Yizhi.
The sect is a legendary thing, and no one in the martial arts has dared to be arrogant enough to open a sect, and some are just lone heroes, gangs, and sects. Among them, the sect is the most powerful power organization, and how to see the strength of a sect depends on the token. Of course, the specifications of tokens of different materials are also different.
"Someone stole a fake jade token before that?" Lu Yizhi sneered after reading it, and said unkindly: "Can a small green jade order have such a big attraction? ”
"The old man suspects that the Qingyu Order has exceeded the specifications set by the Qingyu. Someone has been sent to collect it. ”
The two tacitly exchanged a look, Lu Yizhi's tightly knit brows relaxed, and he laughed and praised the old fox in front of him: "I didn't expect that Yan Lao was as clever as ever!" "I actually have the face to use such a shameless method.
Yan Lao touched his white beard and continued: "Let Baishilou go and write a hero's post!" The loss of weapons in Beile Xiaozhou is a big deal, and the villa can no longer sit idly by. ”
Lu Yi stopped his head, "I'll arrange it over there in Baishi Tower." ”
At the same time, Xu Qing in the side courtyard slowly unfolded a picture scroll, looked at it twice, and threw it on the stone table.
There was a row of secret guards kneeling in front of her, and the first black-clothed man on her right hand said: "The eldest prince recently met with Prime Minister Dongqi in private, and some old people in his mother's palace. In addition, there are some more forces around the eldest prince, who are not our people, but they also did not attack our people. ”
The man behind followed.
"The second prince is still traveling on the orders of the lord and has never revealed his identity."
"The third son's injuries have healed, and he will leave the door soon."
With a light hum, Xu Qing didn't even raise his eyelids: "Do what you should do, don't change people recently." ”
"Yes."
After the dark guard retreated, Xu Qing picked up the painting on the stone table again, and as the picture scroll unfolded, a woman in a white dress was reflected in Xu Qing's deep eyes.
The woman on the picture scroll has fair skin and a well-proportioned body, and her appearance is exactly the same as Xu Qing, or it is her.
"Noon."
"The subordinates are here."
Xu Qing's five fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, making a series of sounds, pondering for a moment, Xu Qing's eyes moved, and he said coldly: "Divide the people ordered by Qingyu into three, and secretly protect the three sons." Remember, don't let them find out. ”
After saying that, Xu Qing took out half a piece of green jade from his arms, threw it, and Wu Qi, who was kneeling on the ground, reached out to catch it.
"Yes, my subordinates will do it."
The courtyard was suddenly quiet, and the smell of wine wafted in.
"Master Xu, is this sending someone to protect his children?" Yan Lin, who was dressed in a black cloud brocade robe, came over with two jars of wine.
Xu Qing was stunned, but quickly reacted, got up and said, "You ......"
"Boom."
The jar landed on the stone table with a muffled sound. Yan Lin smiled lightly and sat down opposite Xu Qing, picked up a jar and patted the soil stuck to it.
"It's me. Sit down! ”
Xu Qing sat down in a proper manner. Seeing this, Yan Lin put the wine in his hand in front of Xu Qing, and said helplessly: "Master Xu doesn't have to be restrained. ”
"I thought that Miss Zhao would arrive later."
"It's a little early." Yan Lin hugged the freshly opened wine jar, raised his head and took a big sip, his fair and handsome face was immediately dyed a touch of crimson, "This wine is good." Hey? Is this portrait the master of the Xu Sect? ”
Seeing that Yan Lin noticed the painting in his hand, Xu Qing nodded and said with a smile: "It has something to do with the little child in Miss Zhao's mouth." ”
"Tut-tut." Yan Lin shook his head, "Master Xu is good to that little friend~"
