Chapter 61: The Red Clay Stove
Since then, for more than a month, Sikong Heng has been in the Thousand Machine Academy.
According to the practice of previous years, a banquet was held, and Sikong Heng invited everyone from Qianji Academy, Wei Ruan, and Wei Ji brothers.
Poria cocos, as usual, played with Sikong Heng from time to time in front of Sikong Heng, but Sikong Heng just didn't know it at all, and still treated Poria as gentle as ever. One day, the first snow fell in Qianji Courtyard, and Mu Yu helped Shumao to clear the snow outside the wooden house.
Sikong Heng wore a hat coat and stepped on the snow to come to the wooden house: "Mu Yu." ”
"Lord Wang?" Mu Mo stopped his movements and looked around, "How did you get here?" ”
Sikong Heng paused for a moment: "Let's go into the house and talk." ”
"Okay", Mu Yu said, put down the broom, opened the door, and entered the wooden house with Sikong Heng.
When Shu Mao saw Sikong Heng, he looked up and down, and couldn't help teasing: "What? Can't help but still find someone? I can meet whoever I want, and I always get sneaky, and I don't know what to think. ”
"Less nonsense", Sikong Heng's face was as usual, straight to the point, "Make a place and borrow your wooden house for use." ”
"Cut!" The pivot gave him a blank look, twisted the mechanism, and turned into the secret room.
In the wooden house, only Mu Yu and Sikong Heng were left.
Mu Yu was a little embarrassed because of the cardinal tea, and saw that the teapot was burning on the charcoal fire in the wooden house, so he opened the four-wall mechanism, took out two blue and white porcelain cups, poured tea for Sikong Heng, and said: "Lord, drink tea." ”
"Mu Fu", Sikong Heng took the teacup, his eyes fell on the two hairpins of wood and jade on Mu Wu's bun, his heart suddenly moved, and he explained softly, "These days...... Poria matter, if there is anything that upsets you, don't worry too much. ”
"Hmm......" Mu Yu bumped into the deer in his heart, fiddling with his clothes belt, and whispered: "I know." ”
"The sachet is ......", Sikong Heng paused for a moment, lowered his head and pondered, and for a while, he considered the warm wording, "Actually, I have never given gifts to others. If you hear any rumors, don't take it too seriously......"
"You ......" Mu Mo buried his head lower, fiddling with his clothes belt in a panic.
"Mu Yu", Sikong Heng was silent for a while, for a long time, "I have to go." ”
"Where?" Mu Mo looked up, slightly surprised, but then understood his intentions, and was a little sad. I never thought that a month would pass so quickly, and I would have to leave again after seeing each other a few times.
"Zhang Guigui is here, I have to take Du Ruo, go to Qinzhou to pick him up first, and talk about the Wei brothers by the way."
"Du Ruo?" Mu Mo was stunned for a moment, "What are you taking Du Ruo to do?" ”
"Uncle Yi Wang invited me to enter the Yi Wangfu with Zhang Guigui as a guest, ostensibly to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhang Guigui, but in fact he wanted to explore the reality of Zhang Guigui's acceptance of the Wei brothers. Since Poria revealed the news to him, I will take Zhang Guigui and the Wei brothers to the palace of Prince Yi for a banquet. Du Ruo is proficient in poetry, complements the Confucian scholars, and may be useful at banquets. ”
"You're going to Prince Yi's Mansion again? And you want to take Wei Ji and Wei Ruan with you?! Mu Mo couldn't help but be taken aback, "You know that Sikong Yi is hostile to you, and you brought Wei Ruan and Wei Ji to Prince Yi's mansion, aren't you a sheep into the tiger's mouth?" ”
"The sheep is in the tiger's mouth, but haven't you heard that 'if you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger'?" Sikong Heng said, smiled indifferently, and took a sip of tea, "Mu Wu, I have thought about it, the situation in the northwest is complicated, and the affairs of Liangzhou can't be hidden from Sikong Yi, instead of covering up and waiting for him to denounce, it is better to seek his support generously." If he does not agree to Wei Ruan and Wei Ji entering Zhang Guigui's mansion, he will lose the support of Zhang Guigui and the Kansai forces behind him; If he denounces behind his back, Zhang Guigui will also know that he did it. ”
"So, you want to bring the battle in the shadows to the surface?" Mu Mo thought quickly and understood what Sikong Heng meant, but thinking of the twists and turns that Prince Yi's Mansion experienced last time, he was still not very relieved, weighed it for a while, and asked, "Shall I go with you?" ”
"Don't go," Sikong Heng said, "if it's like last time, Tuoba Xiu, I'll be even more constrained." ”
"This time it's different...... Mu Mo said, thinking of what Sikong Heng pointed out about the last time Tuoba Xiu wanted to buy himself back to the Tuoba Department, he couldn't help blushing slightly, but he defended again, "Du Ruo is not better than alfalfa, he has more than enough learning, and he is not smart enough, this time it involves the two sons of Zhang Guigui and the Wei family, and the situation is even more complicated, if I am around, I can take care of it." ”
"You ......" Sikong Heng wanted to continue to block, but he was afraid that she would be stubborn and secretly go to Prince Yi's mansion, so he compromised, "That's fine." But you have to make sure that everything is up to me and that you don't mess around. ”
"Got it, it won't." Mu Mo pursed his lips and looked at Sikong Heng aggrievedly.
"You......" Sikong Heng shook his head, helpless to take her.
On the same day, Sikong Heng and the prince of the Wei family chatted in detail about the trip to Prince Yi's mansion, Mu Mo and Du Ruo were ready to go together, Alfalfa watched Mu Wu pack his luggage, and muttered worriedly: "Wei Ruan Gongzi was originally a person who escaped death with a serious crime, and the Yiwang Mansion is such a place in Longtan Tiger's Den...... What can I do? ”
"Alfalfa, don't worry, the prince does things safely and never acts rashly."
Mu Yu comforted Alfalfa, but his heart was also full of worries. Sikong Heng took the risk to inform Sikong Yi about taking in the Wei brothers, if Sikong Yi set up a bureau in the mansion to arrest them, or report to Empress Lu and give Sikong Heng a charge of harboring criminals, what kind of method should Sikong Heng use to deal with it? He's so confident, have all these things been considered?
"How can you not worry about ......" Alfalfa sighed, saying that Mu Yu was worried.
Mu Yu heard this, and he never missed a hand in doing things with Sikong Heng, and he unraveled alfalfa for a long time; Although the alfalfa sounds reasonable, the gloom on the brow has never dissipated. In the middle of the night, everyone quietly left the Qianji Courtyard, and only brought Chi Lu to escort them.
When he arrived at the mouth of the Thousand Machines Valley, Mu Wu suddenly said to Sikong Heng: "Lord Wang, when the matter is completed, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
"Oh?" Sikong Heng was stunned for a moment, looked at the thin fog at Taniguchi, and asked, "What kind of favor?" ”
Mu Mo thought for a moment, then told Sikong Heng how Alfalfa and Wei Ruan met and how they played under the moon, and asked, "When the Wei brothers settle down, can you bring Alfalfa to Wei Ruan's side?" I can see that she is reluctant to part with Wei Ruan. ”
"This matter ......," Sikong Heng pondered for a moment, "When this trip is settled, I will first find out what Wei Ruan means." ”
"Well, thank you in advance." Mu Yu said, looking sideways at Sikong Heng on the back of the horse.
On the moon at dusk, in the hazy fog, Sikong Heng's eyebrows and eyes are warm like smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the humility in white clothes is calming.
Mu Mo thought of everyone's evaluation of Wei Ruan, and felt that the girls in Kyoto were all uninformed. If Wei Ruan can be regarded as the "first prince of Kyoto", how should a humble son like Sikong Heng be evaluated?
Sikong Heng looked at Mu Wu carefully, and suddenly asked, "Mu Wu, what kind of family do you want to find in the future?" ”
Mu Yu was stunned, lowered his head slightly, his cheeks gradually reddened, and his heart was "pounding". He...... Ask something like that...... their own mind...... Don't he understand?
Just as he was thinking wildly, suddenly two black shadows flashed in front of him, flew towards Sikong Heng, and stabbed him in the chest with a masked sword.
Mu Yu's heart tightened, secretly thinking that Ming Ghost and Zhu Shi Nan would really come to assassinate Sikong Heng?!
In a hurry, he didn't have time to think about it, he drew his sword and flew in front of the two black shadows; As soon as Sikong Heng's white shadow fell, he had already drawn his sword beside Mu Wu. In an instant, Mu Mo and Sikong Heng's two swords were combined, and the dismantling attack was extremely smooth.
The black shadow was not able to do it, staggered unsteadily, Mu Wu was about to stop and make peace with the other party, when suddenly from the valley on all sides, dozens of masked black shadows jumped out, flying towards Mu Yu Sikong Heng with a sword, and dozens of masked black shadows flew towards Brother Wei Ruan.
Although Wei Ruan and Wei Ji have martial arts, they are only limited to self-defense, and they are sweating under the siege of dozens of masked people.
Du Ruo hurriedly drew his sword out of its sheath and blocked some of the fierce attacks for Wei Ruan and Wei Ji.
In the chaos, Chi Lu entered the front of the bandit leader, and the sword blade turned to pick up the other party's masked black scarf.
The bandit's masked scarf suddenly fell, and Mu Mo took a look:
It turned out to be Tuoba Dark Cloud!
