Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Late at night, the King of the Nine Marquis sat alone in the courtyard as if waiting for something...
A dark figure jumped into the courtyard, covered with a face scarf, and could not see clearly.
"What did the prince call me to come for?" The man in black also sat down directly.
"The emperor is asleep?" The Nine Marquis King asked.
"I fell asleep. This! Did you know? It's not good to be known by the emperor. The man in black looked left and right and took off the face towel, and the identity under the face towel was actually the emperor's chief eunuch Cao Gonggong.
"It's really unlucky, the Hou Ye knows what happened just now?" Gonggong Cao cocked his orchid fingers and took the teacup and drank it, wiping the sweat on his face.
"Hmm~" King Jiuhou replied.
"You said that Bai Mo is true, they all said that it was their own people and they had to chase me with their lives!" Cao Gonggong said coquettishly.
"How could this Xu Jiangyuan suddenly appear in Chang'an City? How many years have it been..."The Nine Marquis King sighed.
"I was also stunned, I was serving the emperor to sleep at the time, and I arranged a few eunuchs to keep vigil, so I was ready to go back to the room to rest~ Who knew that I saw Bai Mo walking nervously, as if there was something, I quickly followed to take a look, ouch, when I heard them speak, I was startled! So I hurriedly went back to the house to change my clothes, but I wanted to do a favor and made a fuss~ I hated it! Father-in-law Cao complained, his face full of grievances.
"You didn't leave any tricks, did you?" The Nine Marquis King asked.
"No~ I'm familiar with it in the palace~ But I left a shoe when I ran away," Gonggong Cao said, his mouth curled, and he suddenly seemed to think of something, and stretched out an orchid finger in his right hand, "Ah! Those shoes are from the Shangfu Bureau, because they are defective, the emperor specially rewarded them! ”
The Nine Marquis King looked at Gonggong Cao with a gloomy face, and Gonggong Cao stood up timidly, "Master Hou~ The slave family really didn't mean it, you know how difficult it is to escape from that white ink, not to mention that he chased me like crazy..."
"Say no more! I asked you to protect the emperor well, what are you going to do with the white ink? The Nine Marquis King reprimanded angrily.
"But the emperor has been looking for Xu Jiangyuan for twelve years, and the slave family can't bear it~" Duke Cao said aggrievedly.
"In the future, except for the emperor's safety, you don't interfere!" The Nine Marquis King said with a commanding tone.
"What about the Bangxia Pavilion?" Gonggong Cao asked.
"The last time I listened to your opinion, it wasn't empty, what is the origin of their organization? Lao Chao said that he would burn it, and said that it would open quietly and quietly" The Nine Marquis King paced, and Gonggong Cao followed behind him.
"At the time, you praised me, and now you say that you are in the air, so you can find out that they are indeed not clean! However, they seem to have purchased the building directly, and then suddenly opened, and there is no way to verify the interior~" Grandpa Cao sighed.
"The sudden investigation will definitely be like last time, the fish will die and the net will be broken!" The Nine Marquis King sighed, "Okay, it's almost time for you to go back, as for your shoes, take care of it yourself!" ”
"Then I'll leave first, Master Hou!" Gonggong Cao bowed deeply and turned over and walked out of the courtyard gate.
"Victory feast? It's all grandfather, and you're still so reckless..."King Jiuhou sighed and walked towards the outside of the courtyard, his originally upright back gradually changed back to a rickety appearance, no one knew what he was doing this for, only he was lonely and beared.
In the early morning of the second day, Chang'an City with the first shouts of the vendors, all walks of life entered their own tracks, Sheng Linyun got up early, and Xu Shangao said last night, go to Han Mansion to find Han Ai early this morning, and then go to the palace for a banquet in the evening, I didn't see him come out for three days, thinking about whether something happened!
"Mr. Xu! Mr. Xu! Sheng Linyun stood outside Xu Shangao's house and knocked on the door.
"Why haven't you gotten up yet? On other days, he was the most active. Sheng Linyun muttered.
"Ah~ Linyun!" A tired response was heard from inside the room.
"Huh? No lock! Sheng Linyun pushed open the door and walked in, only to see Xu Shangao sitting on the bed decadently, his eyes black and black.
"What's wrong with you?" Sheng Linyun asked.
"My brother... It's been three days since I disappeared, and I walked around Chang'an City last night, and I was taken away by the guards as a thief and interrogated for a long time. Where the hell did it go? Xu Shangao said and was about to lie down again, but Sheng Linyun grabbed him.
"Hmm... Your brother will be fine! Although Sheng Linyun knew where Xu Jiangyuan was, it was really inconvenient to say, so he could only comfort him like this.
"How?" Xu Shangao looked at Sheng Linyun listlessly.
"You see him disappear in three days, I guess he went to see his old friend, and your brother is strong in martial arts, what can happen? Right! Sheng Linyun said and threw the clothes hanging on the hanger on Xu Shangao's body, "Let's go to the Han Mansion to have a look, Han Aizhun has an accident, maybe he won't come out tonight!" ”
"My brother's three-legged cat kung fu also bullies my students!" Xu Shangao slowly put on his clothes and kept complaining, "Originally, I was in the mountains, and I saw him basking in the sun or sleeping all day long, but now I am in Chang'an like a wild horse, no!" Wild dogs, completely by their own nature. ”
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Sheng Linyun was too lazy to listen to his nonsense, the two got dressed, Sheng Linyun deliberately went to Thirteen Niang's room to report, and asked her to take everyone to Bangxia Pavilion, she had something to go out for a while, which made Thirteen Niang disgusted for a while, and regarded her as a housekeeper.
"There are so many people today! It seems that many students have returned, and it seems that they are all back to participate in the championship banquet! Xu Shangao walked on the street and instantly seemed to be a different person, looking east and west to see if he was uncomfortable.
"Ouch!" Suddenly, Sheng Linyun walked as if he had found someone, and when he looked back, he saw an old man in ragged clothes falling to the ground, Sheng Linyun hurriedly walked over and helped him up, "Are you okay?" ”
"I don't know, I might have to sit for a while to find out!" The old man stuck out his tongue and looked like an old naughty boy.
Anyway, they couldn't just leave, Sheng Linyun and Xu Shan helped the old man to sit down on the steps at the door of a shop.
"Where are you hurt?" Sheng Linyun looked the old man up and down, and the old man actually looked at Sheng Linyun with a spirit on his face.
"Is there anything wrong with you?" Sheng Linyun felt that this old man was weird, and he felt numb when he saw it.
"Didn't I say I was in trouble?" The old man said quickly.
"No... I'll be gone! Sheng Linyun was choked by the old man's words.
"It's okay, you can't go, you've hit me!" The old man grabbed Sheng Linyun.
"Not? Why can't you go? Sheng Linyun asked.
"Because you hit me!" The old man stared at Sheng Linyun with innocent eyes.
"Uncle! Are you looking for something with me? Sheng Linyun felt that the other party was finding fault.
"I'm not looking for you, I'll come down to find my old friend, you just let me take a good look!" The old man said and pulled Sheng Linyun's body and turned around.
"Down? What's down? Sheng Linyun muttered, "It can't be that you have met a crazy person, right?" ”
"I'm not crazy! Well... Well... Good seedling" Sheng Linyun said very quietly, but it was still heard by the old man, looked left and right, and finally the old man patted Sheng Linyun's buttocks, "Okay, it's okay!" ”
“… It's okay, then I'm leaving! Sheng Linyun hurriedly gave Xu Shangao a look on the side, 'Walk!'
Xu Shangao nodded knowingly, and the two were about to take a step, when the old man said a word, "Doll!" Two sentences for you! This first sentence, the sun and the moon have the sky, and can shine for a long time; Four times change, and can be long-lasting; ”
After Sheng Linyun heard the first sentence, he immediately turned to look at the old man, who was still sitting there and looking at Sheng Linyun with a smile.
"What does the old gentleman say?" Sheng Linyun asked respectfully.
"I won't say much, and you don't ask! This second sentence is that when the time stops, it stops, and when it does, it does; The movement is not lost, and its path is bright. I'll go first! The old man stood up and patted his buttocks.
"May I ask why the old gentleman taught me!" Sheng Linyun stepped forward eagerly.
"Your master said that he took in a precious apprentice, so I'll come and take a look, ah! Say too much, don't talk about it! The old man waved his hand.
"Please also ask the old gentleman..."Sheng Linyun just wanted to ask the identity of the other party, but suddenly a spirit suddenly found himself facing the wall, while Xu Shangao was patting himself.
"Linyun? Linyun? What happened to you? Xu Shangao's face was very close, he should be looking at Sheng Linyun's pupils.
"Ah~ what are you doing?" Seeing Xu Shangao, who almost kissed him, Sheng Linyun hurriedly took a step back.
"What do you say to the wall? It's like hitting an evil spirit! Xu Shan said with a smile.
"That old gentleman just now...," Sheng Linyun said.
"Let's go! Didn't he say it was okay and just left! Xu Shangao was a little puzzled.
"Gone? I haven't asked the other party yet! Sheng Linyun muttered.
'Everyday! Suddenly, a voice sounded in Sheng Linyun's mind, but no matter how much he searched, he couldn't see the old man's figure.
"You didn't sleep last night, did you?" Xu Shangao gave Sheng Linyun a brain meltdown.
"No... Not! Let's go, let's go, maybe I'm hallucinating" Sheng Linyun touched his forehead, and the two walked towards Han Fu.
"Father! Father! "Han Ai hasn't eaten for three days, of course, it's not that his family doesn't give him food, but he has no appetite, at this moment he is lying on the window and shouting, there is no trace of blood on his face, even his lips are white!
"Father, I just want to let me out today, and after today, I will be punished by my father" Han Ai's voice echoed up and down the Han Mansion, and some subordinates couldn't bear to beg Han Que for a long time, but in exchange for a scolding.
Sheng Linyun and Xu Shangao came to the door of the Han Mansion, and could vaguely hear Han Ai's shouting, so they quickly knocked on the door, and it was an old housekeeper who came out to answer the door.
"Hello! We are friends with Han Ai..."
"Bang!"
As soon as Sheng Linyun finished introducing his identity, the other party closed the door and said a few perfunctory words, "The master has ordered, Han Ai Gongzi is facing the wall, and no one will receive him!" ”
"It can't be that Han Ai impersonated the imperial exam and was discovered by his grandfather, right?" Sheng Linyun pondered, feeling that eight or nine were not far from ten.
"I have a way!" Xu Shangao showed a wicked smile!
"What's the solution?" Sheng Linyun doesn't feel like a good thing.
As a result, the next scene was Xu Shangao stepping on Sheng Linyun's shoulder, and Sheng Linyun stepped on some bricks, and reached the height of the wall, Xu Shangao lay on the wall, pricking up his ears and listening.
"It doesn't seem to be this courtyard!" Xu Shangao shouted downward.
"That's what you do?" Sheng Linyun helplessly supported.
"We first need to know where Han Ai is! Hey, go! Move bricks and look at it in a different place! Xu Shangao jumped down, and the two hurriedly picked up the bricks on the ground...
