6. Good news
Su Tian held a pottery bowl full of medicinal juice and said slowly: "The king ordered you to go to Lingxiao Pass, inform the guards there of the movements of the Qin army, and convey the king's intention that you are not allowed to go out of the pass to fight with the Qin army." ”
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, "You are not allowed to go out of the customs to fight", this is already similar to a military order, why not directly issue an edict?
"Mo Yu, I'll test you," Su Qian restrained his relaxed expression and asked, "Why did the Qin army send troops to represent the country." ”
In the past, when teaching Mo Yao, Su Tian often asked questions like this, and if he answered slowly, he would be punished. Su Tian never scolded Mo Yu, at most, he filled her with delicious food in front of her, but only allowed her to eat bean soup. Thinking of such a murderous punishment, Mo Yu quickly cheered up and answered seriously.
"Gongzi Yu ran away after fighting and hurting people, it must be an excuse. Most people thought that the Qin army was to obtain high-quality war horses produced on behalf of the country. However, Daiguo has long been a vassal state of Qin, and there is no need to go to such great lengths. Thinking about it this way," Mo Yu carefully straightened out his thoughts before continuing, "The Qin State should be in order to provoke trouble so that it can start a war with the Chu State. ”
Su Tian nodded slightly, and asked again, "Who is the Lingxiao guard?" ”
"It's the veteran Huang Qi."
"Who usually keeps the Tiger Talisman of Lingxiao Pass?"
"General Huang, and the internal history sent by the king, each hold half of it, and the two halves are combined, so that the troops can be transferred."
……
Su Tian asked faster and faster, barely giving Mo Yu any time to think. After asking more than 20 questions in a row, Mo Yu suddenly felt enlightened when he was in great pain. In the middle of these questions, she had completely understood the form of Ling Xiaoguan. A small Lingxiao Pass has so many mysteries hidden.
The king of Chu didn't want to go to war, but he didn't want to have a reputation for being cowardly and avoiding war, so he could only choose one person and quietly pass on this meaning to the guards of Lingxiao Pass.
"The military generals of the palace all regarded this as someone else's business, and they didn't expect that the real purpose of the Qin State was to swallow the Chu State in one bite. Although Wang Shang was old, he was not confused, and knew that Chu was not capable of fighting the Qin army head-on, so he did not allow the guards to go out of the pass to resist the enemy. ”
Speaking of these, Su Tian seemed to have completely changed his person, and all of his sick faces disappeared, leaving him with deep worries about the future of the Chu State.
He sighed and stretched out his fingers to stroke Mo Yu's long hair: "In a few months, it will be your fifteenth birthday, and by then, you should have your hair tied and no longer a child." He paused for a long time, and then said: "Send the word, and come back immediately, no matter what the situation is at Ling Xiao Pass, you don't care, remember?" ”
In the last few words, the tone is unusually harsh. Mo Yu thought about it left and right, and didn't understand what it had to do with not being nosy. Where the fingers slipped, it looked like a small insect crawling, crispy and itchy. Wave after wave of dizziness rushed straight to the top of his head, and Mo Yu used all his strength to maintain the last trace of clarity and prevent himself from falling towards Su Tilt.
When she was young, she was often held on her lap by Su Tian, holding her hand and recognizing words stroke by stroke. It has long been a habitual action, but now that I think about it, I also have ambiguous feelings that are indescribable and unclear.
Su Qian looked at her with a complicated expression: "When I come back, I will personally give you a hair tie to celebrate your adulthood." ”
Like fireworks exploding overhead, Mo Yu's whole person seemed to be immersed in warm water, and his sense of hearing and touch was chaotic. If it weren't for Su Tian's face, she really wanted to jump up, turn around a few times, and shout, she was very happy. She wanted to run out and ask someone casually, whether this was a promised love word.
"I'll give you a hair tie and a ...... myself"
That's probably what it's like to be cherished......
The days suddenly became extremely difficult, she couldn't wait to fly to Lingxiao Pass immediately, and then fly back like a fly, and on her birthday, she would also tell the lord that he would be the only man who left a mark on her. Even her birthday was the day he brought back to Wenze Garden, and the day she was the day she was reborn.
The Lord's ...... Su ...... It seems that these words have become extraordinarily gentle.
From the capital city of Shouchun to Lingxiao Pass, it takes about ten days to ride a horse. About two days away from Shouchun, it is Yongcheng, an important town in the Chu State.
Mo Yu picked the fastest trail all the way, and tried to bypass the town as much as possible, just to save time, but it took a day to enter Yongcheng, because here, there is a Miaoyin Temple.
Compared with other countries, the Chu people pay special respect to ghosts and gods. Not only is the status of the shaman noble, but whenever there is a major event, he must always divinate and ask for divination first. The reason why this temple is famous is that it is said that the divination here is particularly effective.
Inside the bluestone temple, smoke fills the room. In the middle of the temple, there is a statue of the Miaoyin Heavenly Maiden, the upper body is a bewitching and beautiful woman, the lower body is the Miaoyin fairy bird that spreads its wings and is ready to fly, and the huge wings on the back extend to both sides, with the unique mysterious style of Chudi.
Mo Yu clasped his hands in front of the statue and said, "Heavenly Maiden, I didn't come to worship you before, because the road is far away...... Well, when I was five years old, I seemed to have stolen your tribute fruit, you are an immortal, you won't bother with me as a mortal, right? Well...... I came to worship you today, and I will ask for a hexagram later, you must be effective, and you can't take the opportunity to take revenge on me...... I'm in a hurry today, wait for next time, and pay you tribute......"
Her long and fragmented thoughts had just begun, and suddenly there was a very light and very light laugh in the smoke, like a golden bead hitting the beautiful jade.
Mo Yu looked around, but only saw a white expanse. This kind of Chudi specialty incense is called "Dengying", which means that lighting this incense is as ethereal as climbing Yingzhou Immortal Mountain.
She was about to bow her head and continue, when the voice in the smoke spoke again: "It's the first time I've seen it, and I'm bargaining with the gods." "I don't know if it's because of the smoke, the sound is so good that it doesn't sound like all in the world, it's low and charming, it's as if it's in the sky, and it's so close that it's like the ears and temples grinding.
Mo Yu looked up and couldn't see it, and wanted to bow his head to continue, but he felt that his heart was heard by outsiders, which was really awkward. After repeating this several times, she still decided to give up explaining to the Heavenly Maiden and went directly to ask for a hexagram.
She walked out of the hall, and Wu Tong was asking a man if he wanted to ask a hexagram. The man shook his head and turned to leave. Mo Yu walked straight up to Wu Tong, handed over the hexagram, and asked for a hexagram.
The witch boy put the grass in turn and asked, "What does the girl ask for something?" ”
Mo Yu held back the embarrassment in his heart, raised his hand to wipe his eyes, and whispered, "Ask about marriage." ”
The man who was already about to leave heard the sound of the ink rumor, stopped, turned back and said to the witch boy: "I just remembered, I also asked for a hexagram and asked about marriage." ”
Isn't that the sound in the smoke just now?
Mo Yu slanted his eyes and looked at him, the man was looking back unscrupulously, with a lazy smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes were straight and warm, and he unceremoniously outlined a circle on Mo Yu's body.
Mo Yu was stunned for a moment, the man was dressed in dark cotton clothes, and half of his hair was tied up with a silk ribbon, and the remaining half was draped over his shoulders. The decoration is extremely simple, but people dare not despise it at all, and even feel that no matter how valuable the ornaments are, they can't set off his bearing, but it is better to be so simple.
He raised an eyebrow at Mo Yu, and a smile spread into his lips. Mo Yu unceremoniously shook him a roll of the eyes and looked back at the witch boy's hand.
The witch boy had already laid out another row of grass, and the stalks of the grass flew nimbly between his fingers, and in a few moments they were divided into small piles. "Hey, what a coincidence," Wu Tong looked surprised, "the two of them have exactly the same hexagram. ”
Probably never encountered such a situation, Wu Tong seemed a little excited, looked at the hexagram carefully, and then chanted a hexagram like singing: "The pearl has been buried deep for a long time, and there is no light and no light until now, when suddenly the wind blows the earth, and it is naturally revealed." ”
What does that mean?!
Mo Yu felt a little inexplicable, and was embarrassed to question Wu Tong directly, so he could only ask tentatively: "What I ask for is marriage, not lost property." This one...... How does it sound a bit like looking for something? ”
Wu Tong nodded very affirmatively: "This is exactly the hexagram of marriage, there will be no mistake." ”
Mo Yu glanced up at the man opposite, and wondered, could it be that this person was making trouble, and the hexagram was not allowed? She even quietly raised her hand and touched her money bag, but fortunately, it was still there. The man took a moment to look at her, and even turned to the side so that she could see even from the side.
Ay...... Mo Yu shook his head helplessly and walked towards the outside of the Miaoyin Temple. The breeze as she walked lifted her forehead, revealing a scar on the center of her eyebrows.
When he walked past the man, he suddenly stopped Mo Yu and asked, "Girl's name?" ”
Mo Yu looked back at him for the third time today, and saw that his eyes were looking over like spring water, and compared with the previous two times, he seemed to have more fervent hope.
"Ink ballads, pen and ink ink, ballads of songs." She finished speaking calmly and coldly, not paying attention to the rippling waves in the spring water opposite. The man stared straight at her, as if waiting for her to say something. Mo Yu didn't say anything more, and took his horse away.
When she walked away, the man was a little disappointed at first, and then the smile on his face was fully revealed, a little relieved, a little determined to win. He took out a priceless piece of jade from his sleeve, pressed it on the pile of grass just now, and said, "This is my hexagram." ”
The good mood full of anticipation has been ruined. Mo Yu whipped the horse fast, and the three-day journey was shortened by her to two days. When you arrive at the bank of Xiangshui, you are going upriver along the direction of the river, and it is Lingxiao Pass.
The water in Hunan is crystal clear, there are many small fish and shrimp in the water, and as soon as their fingers are put in, they will come over and peck gently. Mo Yu's mood is also a little better.
The further upstream, the narrower the river becomes, there is no silt and sediment, and the water is as clear as a ribbon. The scenery is getting more and more eye-catching, but the mood of Mo Yu is getting worse and worse. If the Qin army is stationed upstream, it is always necessary to throw some garbage down. 50,000 people are to wash horses, wash pots, and do laundry...... The river doesn't make sense to be so clear.
Mo Yu's heart tightened, and he beat the horse and rushed towards Lingxiao Pass. The worst possibility is that the Qin army is preparing to attack Lingxiao Pass.
