Chapter 17 - Drunken Dream Glass
With the crisp and melodious cry, everything on the earth gradually regained its vitality, and the rising light shone on the earth, warming the body and heart of every living being. After the rain, the sky is clear, and a rainbow is reflected in the endless sky like a girl in colorful clothes, revealing incomparable peace and tranquility.
In the field outside the towering Yunsheng Juxian Tower, a young man dressed in white wore a hat made of bamboo across an endless field with a golden edge, and the young man in white was deeply sad on his delicate face hidden under the hat.
This young man was none other than Feng Baiyi, who had left the Yunsheng Gathering Immortal Mansion earlier, and he had already seen clearly the various dark methods and all kinds of intrigues and struggles that were taking place in the Yunsheng Gathering Immortal Mansion in just a few days. Feng Baiyi's heart had become extremely tired, he had now left the Yunsheng Juxian Tower in the early morning light, he only wanted to find the last warmth in his heart now. However, what made Feng Baiyi feel extremely entangled in his heart was that now Xia Qing didn't know where he had gone. Feng Baiyi searched for a long time in the Yunsheng Juxian Building, but he did not find any trace of Xia Qing.
Feng Baiyi was helpless, so he could only leave Yunsheng Juxian Tower with an extremely lonely mood, trying to return to the bamboo forest to find Xia Qing's traces. He originally came here with a sense of revenge, but when he really witnessed Zhang Xu die at the hands of Liu Xun, Feng Baiyi's heart seemed to be mixed and he didn't know what his mood was.
really didn't know where he should go, Feng Baiyi could only choose to leave. He just wanted to know that he wanted to find Xia Qing. So he walked all the way through the morning dew and the rice fields that were about to ripen, and left the Yunsheng Juxian Tower, and walked quickly towards the bamboo forest.
"My lord, the young man has departed. It looks like he's heading in the direction of the feudal kingdom, should we go after him?"
"Naturally, no. I see, it seems, my plan has succeeded. Now I don't have to worry about him disrupting my plans" The candlelight was bright, and an official in a red official robe sat on the Taishi's chair, talking in a low voice with a heavily armed guard beside him
Next to the deep and secluded ever-bright lamp, the nine-curved corridor is exquisitely meandering, the zhulan is slightly wet, and the breeze passing by the morning sun shows a slight coolness. Passing through a sea-like bamboo forest, an intricately constructed pontoon bridge lies beneath the tranquil blue waves below. The ancient and distant jade steps are stained with moist rain and dew, showing an elegant and deep light color. At the end of the corridor, several maids holding gold plates and jade cups went straight to the depths of the corridor, and the small footsteps were mixed with the drizzle of autumn and looked particularly quiet. With the brisk footsteps of the maids, a few drops of clear rain fell on the lake under the bridge, causing slight ripples. Then there was an endless return to peace.
Briskly but almost silent, several maids carried gold plates and jade bowls around several small courtyards, and came to the outside of a small courtyard with a closed red vermilion gate and black eaves on the right side of the cloister.
Several maids gently knocked on the closed vermilion lacquer door, and at the same time, one of the maids led by her called lightly: "Master, it's time to eat." ”
"Got it, you guys are out the door," a faint voice came from inside the room. If you listen carefully, you will hear a slight sadness in this flat voice.
"Then sir, the slave and maid will retire," the maid who came forward and knocked on the door bowed slightly, and then beckoned to the several maids behind her to carefully put the jade snacks, fresh vegetables and fruits on the golden plate and jade cup in their hands on the ground. Then he got up and prepared to leave lightly.
Just as the maids got up and were about to leave, another voice suddenly came from the room: "Hey, is there any news from Qing'er?"
When the maids heard this, they quickly knelt down on their knees and replied respectfully: "I'm sorry sir, there is no news of the eldest lady yet, but don't worry, we will definitely continue to look for it."
"Got it. Hey, I'm sorry for her, I'm sorry for her, I don't blame her for leaving me, I only blame myself, Qing'er's father is wrong, my father shouldn't have forced you like this" The person known as "master" muttered to himself there, and his voice seemed very remorseful.
After all, a few handmaidens with beautiful faces couldn't say anything. So they left the door lightly. Returning to the winding nine-song corridor, the maid at the head sighed faintly: "I really didn't expect it, this eldest lady is really a little strange, but unfortunately the second lady is not here now." Otherwise, she persuaded the master, and the master would not be so sad. ”
"Well, who's to say it's not," the maids echoed, and with a faint sigh, the maids left the cloister, leaving only a little starlight against an old man who was already standing behind them. The old man's face was haggard, but his eyes looked very distinct. He was dressed in a luxurious silk purple official robe, but he couldn't hide his intense physical and mental exhaustion.
The old man who was over the age of sixteen sighed faintly, looking at the endless night sky showing a faint outline, and the figure standing by the small lake looked very lonely. Standing there quietly, listening to the last warmth that nature bestowed upon him, his face was bright
Stepping on the slightly moist earth, a young man in white walked quickly across the endless rice fields and walked the path towards the west. The hat above his head was already crooked, but he didn't notice it at all.
This young man was Feng Baiyi, who left Yunsheng Juxian Tower and wanted to go back to the bamboo forest. But what he didn't expect was that after a day and a night of rapid walking, he still didn't find the bamboo forest, which made him feel very strange. Because he vaguely remembered that it only took him a day to follow Xia Qing out of the bamboo forest to Yunsheng Juxian Tower.
Yunsheng Juxian Tower is located in the outskirts of Ruocheng, and it is not a place where the world is noisy. Although the number of people has increased this time because of the Jiangnan martial arts competition, it is because Ruocheng is at the junction of the entire Qi State and the Feng State. Ruocheng also seems to be very mixed, for this reason, His Majesty the Emperor of Qi State specially ordered that the suburbs of Ruocheng and the junction of Fengqing City should be stationed with heavy troops.
Walking through a rice field, a poplar forest appeared in front of Feng Baiyi. Feng Baiyi has no memory of this poplar forest, which is not too big. He once wondered if he was going the wrong way, he even found a restaurant on the side of the road, but he didn't have much money on him, and he was in a hurry, so he didn't pay much attention.
Feng Baiyi, who was walking on the road against the noon sun, looked a little thirsty. His eyes fell on a wine house that towered over the edge of a rice paddy. There was a brocade flag hanging on it, with two large purple characters "Liuli" written on it, and there were already two businessman-like people drinking and talking in this wine house. The wine house occupies a small area, with only a thatched hut and three tables and long chairs under the "glass" banner.
Feng Baiyi took off his hat, walked into the wine house with an arrowhead, and sat down under an inconspicuous table. As soon as he sat down, a girl in coarse cloth clothes Shi Ran walked in front of him, this girl looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, but her hair was very conspicuous, unlike Feng Baiyi, this girl's hair was purple, but Feng Baiyi didn't care much. The purple-haired girl walked up to Feng Baiyi's side and asked softly, "This guest officer, what do you want to drink?"
Feng Baiyi looked around and felt that he could ask something about the bamboo forest from the girl's mouth. So he put the hat on the side of the table and said lightly, "Just have a big bowl of tea." ”
"Okay!Wait!" the girl agreed softly, and then turned into the hut behind the winery. Feng Baiyi sat at the table outside, his eyes wandering in the poplar forest not far from him, no one knew what he was thinking.
Just when Feng Baiyi stared at the poplar forest and didn't know what he was thinking, the two businessmen dressed as people sitting at the other table were still talking and clinking bowls there. However, the two of them talked louder and louder, so that Feng Baiyi couldn't help but hear what he didn't want to hear. At this time, the girl wearing coarse cloth clothes and her hair in a bun handed the bowl of tea to Feng Baiyi's hand, and at the same time smiled at him slightly.
Feng Baiyi smiled at her, but his attention had already been drawn to the two men in the clothes of a businessman in front of him. At this moment, the two men, who looked to be no more than thirty years old and dressed in merchant silk clothes, spoke loudly again.
"This Jiangnan martial arts tournament is really shady" "Hey, people now like to rely on this method more and more to get on the top." People like us really don't know when they will be proud" "It is now said that the army guarding the eastern border has penetrated deep into the territory of the feudal kingdom to search for the defected princess. Perhaps we have a good opportunity to go to the Seal Country, and I believe that the Sect Leader will definitely agree with us. Then we will have a chance. "I think so too" "Hahaha!"
The two businessmen dressed as businessmen were discussing their plans in full swing, but as everyone knows, Feng Baiyi's hearing is very keen, and listening to the topic that the two of them are discussing, Feng Baiyi's eyes are wide.
From the words they said, "Donglinguan Army", "Princess", and "Fengguo Sect Master", Feng Baiyi faintly felt that these two scholar-like people were definitely not good at it. Moreover, if they were allowed to continue to walk west, they would definitely go to the Sealing Kingdom and join the Sealing War Society.
Feng Baiyi didn't know who the "princess" they called was. But he didn't care about these problems anymore, and he played with the large bowl in his hand, and gently sipped two sips of tea from the bowl. His brow furrowed slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"This little brother, I wonder if you are considering what these two businessmen said?"
