Chapter 17: The Birth of the Dragon (7)
But said that in the shabby inn, the boss and the proprietress received the money that fell from the sky for no reason, and they couldn't keep their mouths together, and the family naturally took good care of the Qingfu entrusted by the head of the Ping Dao, and the injuries on Qingfu's body were not serious, but after a few days' work, it was more than half better. After thanking the innkeeper's family, he packed his bags and set off.
After separating from the master that day, Qingfu knew that at this time, he would break off his righteousness, and he would never see each other again in his life.
Fifteen years of kindness, with a flick of a finger, disappeared. Qingfu's heart was full of sourness. He smiled bitterly, walked out of the inn and lifted the method of shrinking time, and returned to the appearance of a middle-aged man, at this time, he was already over forty years old.
Since he was twenty-six years old and turned into a five-year-old child by the method of shortening time, and when he opened the firewood on the fairy mountain in the snow, he was moved by those clear and spotless eyes, and since then, it has been a long fifteen years of followership in his life, but he deceived Pingdao for fifteen years, or rather, he thought he had deceived him for fifteen years.
Now, the grievances have long been broken, and there is no chance in this life. It's just that the road ahead has to be completed alone.
He stretched out his hand and straightened his bags behind him, shuttling through the bustling streets of Jinhua, pedestrians coming and going in a hurry, and no one paid attention to the ordinary man on the road.
He walked on the bustling Suzaku Street, and at a glance of his sharp eyes, he saw the building, which was magnificently like a royal palace, and the four big characters on the golden silk plaque were dancing with dragons and phoenixes, "Flower Shadow Moon Comes". He muttered these four big words, and a small smile crossed the corner of his mouth, knowing that this was the place he was looking for.
It was a very ordinary place since ancient times, and many romantic and talented people were happy to linger in the ----- brothels. But the brothel in front of you is not the kind that people are familiar with, in the bustling street, a group of greased and powdered women stand coquettishly in front of the door, handkerchiefs in their hands dance lightly, "Childe, come quickly!" ”
In front of the door where the flower shadow moon came, it was as strict as the royal palace, and from time to time there were nobles' chariots and horses parked in front of the door, and he knew that the people who entered this place were either high-ranking officials or wealthy merchants.
Qingfu stood in front of the door, and was about to go in, but was stopped by the guards guarding the door, he smiled, took out a golden token from his body, and the guards glanced at each other, thinking that such an ordinary person had a token of flower shadow and moon, presumably it was a noble son who went out on patrol, and his attitude immediately changed to respect, and he said continuously, "Childe, please." ”
After entering the door, he walked through those complicated and tortuous corridors, entered from a small door, although the door was small, but there was a hole in the sky behind it, but he saw the bead curtain embroidered curtain, painted carved beams, said that the light shook the Zhuhu gold paving, the snow shone on the Qiong window jade palace, and saw the flowers and fragrant grasses, occasionally a noble boy passed by with a beautiful woman in his arms, looked at him a few times, his eyes were cold, through the path covered by the bamboo forest, and came to a small wooden house in the backyard.
Although the wooden house is simple, it is more quiet in the jungle, and if you listen carefully, there is a smart piano sound in the house, and the water of the Lingling stream, chirping birds, is more tranquil and elegant.
Several guards came out of the woods, stood with swords in hand, and asked sharply, "Who is coming?" ”
"The people of the country."
A pair of slender hands in the wooden house pressed the strings, and outsiders could only hear the sigh of the woman in the house, "Is it Qingfu?" ”
He arched his hand and said loudly, "Qingfu asks to see Mrs. Shisu." ”
There was a woman's shallow laughter from the wooden house, "Madame guessed what a coincidence, you really came here today, come in!" ”
Hearing the words of the master of the house, the guards in the forest withdrew their blades and disappeared into the forest.
I heard a string sound, and the wooden door opened.
Qing Fu entered the room, which was empty, empty except for the woman in white standing in front of her. He laughed, "Here, it is the same as it was many years ago, not a single thing has changed. ”
The woman in white looked at him fixedly, and said coldly, "Please come with me,"
She raised her hand and lightly fingered, the purple circle of light on her fingertips transformed, and the moment Qingfu blinked, she was already in another place.
The woman held a lantern to illuminate the front, reflecting a long and narrow passage. The woman walked very fast, Qingfu knew that this was a maze, and did not dare to stop, so she had to follow closely behind the woman.
I don't know how long I walked, but at the end of the narrow passage, there was some light. Qingfu's eyes lit up, and suddenly brightened, only to see that the palace door in front of him was slightly closed, and it was about to open, it was actually a pink tent Luowei, jade jingling, like a place where a noble woman lived, and secretly marveled in his heart, I couldn't imagine that in this cold and damp underground, there was such a gorgeous palace room.
Seeing this magnificent palace, although I was surprised, there was a little ridicule in my heart, I haven't seen it for a few years, and I can't imagine that the pomp of this Mrs. Shiso is getting bigger and bigger.
As if to see what he was thinking, the woman holding the lamp turned her head to look at him, looked around at the spacious environment, her eyes seemed to be a little sad, she raised her hand to extinguish the lantern in her hand, and smiled slightly, "This Moyu Pavilion, there are only two people here, Madame and my master and servant." ”
The sound of the piano Lingling came, like the murmuring of water, like the chirping of birds, and the lingering sound was endless.
Listen carefully, although the melodious sound of the piano is the green mountains and green waters, the swallow dances and the song of the warbler, but from time to time it is mixed with the slightest trill, and there is a sense of sadness.
Ha! Qingfu let out a very discordant chuckle in his throat.
Hearing the sound of the guests, the strings were pressed with their hands, the strings stopped, and the graceful figure of the woman was reflected behind the pink gauze tent, covered by light gauze, like a dream shadow like a phantom fog.
After the woman with the lamp curts, she bowed and stood on the side of the curtain.
"The day is red and smiling in the spring breeze, and the river embankment is willow and green and self-pitying." Qingfu opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Madame's piano sounds beautiful, but in this splendid spring day, Qingfu somehow heard a song of grievances. ”
He bowed, but his eyes kept on the woman behind the curtain, "Madame is well." ”
"Hahahaha......" I heard the woman look away and chuckled, "I've heard it, why bother asking again!" ”
The figure behind the curtain vaguely raised his hand and twisted up the wine glass, drank it all, the wine glass stagnated in her hand, I don't know whether it was a deliberate play or a momentary trance, the wine glass fell from her hand, pierced the curtain, and rolled down a few laps on the ground before it was fixed.
She muttered, "In the past, a thousand red snow withered, and the cold plum shadow drifted alone, and everyone in the world was arrogant, and the snow was boundless. ”
"Dare to ask Madame why she is worried?"
Qingfu asked, Mrs. Shisu was so demeanorful, he had seen it more than once, although it was boring, but it was also polite.
"Hahahaha...... the woman behind the curtain laughed loudly, swept away the gloom of the party, and sighed meaningfully, "It's really unintentional for the musician, and the listener has a heart!" ”
"Oh? That's Qingfu Duoxin, don't you accompany your wife. Qingfu apologized, and only replied when she saw the woman waving her hand.
He looked up at the woman behind the veil, covered by a light veil, and saw that she was graceful, not only did he not know what her appearance was, but even what her identity was, he had no way of knowing, but many years ago, Ye Huai, the king of Qining, personally ordered him to obey her.
The king personally ordered, the old boy was full of enthusiasm, he thought he was important, but for many years, what he did was inconsequential, and in the blink of an eye, he was past middle age, and every time he thought of this, he was really indignant.
"How's it going?" The woman plucked the strings lightly, so carelessly.
"It's still smooth, the king of Donglai is already suspicious of Prince Jiang An, and Jiang An will send troops to Qi Ning soon." He replied in a deep voice, and in his opinion, there was still some meaning in this matter.
"Oh?" The woman's plucked piano stopped, "It seems that Qin Lan is betting that he will die on the battlefield." ”
She moved her gaze slightly into the distance, frowned slightly, and sneered, "Sure enough, people are selfish, and Jiang Angong is allowed to be in Sheji, just because it is not the Qin family." ”
"The merit generation is high, how can King Donglai not be suspicious?" Qingfu smiled, as if he was extremely appreciative of this incident, "Madame's plan is very good!" In the entire Donglai royal family, only Jiang An is worth seeing. ”
"Taoguang is obscure, Jiang An doesn't understand." She hesitated, and said slowly.
"A person with a foreign surname cannot be trusted."
Therefore, Qin Lan would rather marry her biological daughter to Qin Lingyan, with the same surname and not marry, and her life is not prosperous. Hmph, he's really ruthless. As if remembering something, Mrs. Shiso suddenly laughed, slightly desolate.
"Princess Yaohua, how can she compare the Qin family's century-old foundation?" Qingfu smiled, "It's just that this hundred years of foundation is coming to an end, if Jiang An dies, Princess Yaohua will not marry safely, but it is also ......."
Qingfu's words were not finished, only to hear the woman behind the curtain dissatisfied, the pink curtain suddenly opened, the woman was dressed in purple yarn, purple eyes and purple hair, and her face was beautiful, like a fairy. The sudden scene came into view, and for a while, Qingfu stared at the woman in front of him, unable to speak.
Mrs. Shisu stood up slowly, brushed the purple yarn on her wrist behind her, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, she raised her head slightly, looked at the man in front of her, and said in a contemptuous tone, "Did I say that I want Jiang An to die?" ”
"This ......" Qingfu was startled, came back to his senses, was a little surprised, and frowned, "Isn't this what Madame meant?" ”
The woman sneered, an unpredictable look flashed through her purple eyes, and sat down on the edge of Qin again, graceful and elegant.
After playing for a long time, Qingfu heard her voice, and the wind was light, "Yes and what, no, do I have to report to you?" ”
Qingfu arched his hand, "Don't dare." ”
"If Jiang An dies, I want you to be buried with the whole Qi Ning."
The woman raised her head, and her eyes suddenly became fierce, as if Shura had entered the world.
The sharp tone seemed to be roaring into sword qi, approaching Qingfu, he was frightened, and cold sweat was frequent. He had never seen such murderous eyes, especially from the eyes of such a beautiful woman.
"You didn't kill your master?" The woman stared at the scar on Qingfu's wrist and thought to herself, "Heavenly silkworm silkworm." She changed her tone, and a light voice came, and Qingfu's heart became tightened, "Qingfu is incompetent and has not been able to complete this." ”
"Hmph." The woman snorted coldly, "Ping Dao has been cultivating for hundreds of years, and you can't kill him." ”
"That's it." Lady Shiso's voice became softer, and she waved her hand slightly, "He doesn't matter, you can step down." ”
The murderous aura that was just so cold was that it was engraved on Qingfu's heart, and it was gone.
He said softly, retreated, turned around and left, the moment he left the palace gate, he couldn't help but turn back slightly, the woman in white who led him to throw out an object, he caught it, hid it in his clothes, and left in a hurry.
The footsteps faded away, and the woman who stroked the qin suddenly raised her eyebrows.
Pluck the strings three or two times, cross your hands, and the accent suddenly rises. At the same time, a silver needle flew into the void behind the woman in white.
The woman in white's face changed, and she spread the ground with one hand, and then quickly turned around and stood beside Shisu. Turning his head, he saw a transparent figure in the void behind him dodging sideways, and the figure gradually became clear, it turned out to be a girl in blue clothes.
She lowered her head and clamped the flying needle to her fingertips, although it was dexterous, but the attack was sudden, the flying needle still left a faint blood mark on her face.
"Huh." His fingers wiped the blood away and let out a chuckle.
"Oops, it's been discovered." She feigned horror, looked directly at Mrs. Shiso, and stepped forward step by step.
The woman on the piano didn't seem to hear it, and her slender hand plucked the strings lightly, making a crisp single note.
Seeing her like this, the woman was not in a hurry, clasped her hands in front of her, looked contemptuous, and said, "Second princess, the queen ordered me to ......"
The sound of the piano stopped suddenly, but Mrs. Shisu did not look up, only heard her faint whisper, "You, what do you call me?" ”
"Presumptuous!" The woman in white standing beside her snorted angrily, "Who are you, why don't you kneel when you see the princess!" ”
The lady of Shiso raised her head at this time, pressed the strings with both hands, and looked at the woman in blue with interest.
I saw that she was slightly stunned, as if she remembered something, and covered her mouth and chuckled, "I forgot, you are also a demon princess." ”
Only then did she bend her knees, slowly knelt down, and raised her head and said, "Queen Mengliuli asked Princess Jin An from afar, and the princess is a thousand years old." ”
She deliberately said the word "queen" very seriously, but there was no trace of respect in such respectful language, and even the corners of her eyes seemed to be full of smiles.
Hearing this, Mrs. Shisu frowned slightly, "It's disrespectful, and the palm mouth is thirty." ”
A cold voice, without a trace of emotion.
Liuli heard this, although she was shocked, she only said that she was now a popular person in front of the queen of the demon clan, and she could wait closely, but Zisu had already become a chess piece in the queen's hand, how could she dare to treat herself like this, thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneer, and stood up sideways.
"Smack." A loud slap landed on her face, and the sheer force made her turn her head sideways.
Seeing the woman in white doing it, she laughed, "Mu Xi." She sneered coldly, "Sister, are you still serving her?" ”
Liuli slapped her palm, and was grabbed by the woman in white, and then wanted to raise her hand, but her face showed pain, blood gushed out from the corners of her mouth, she shouted in a low voice, and her body fell backwards.
Zi Su raised his right hand, although he was silent, the aperture of his fingertips penetrated the dream glass, and he snorted coldly, "Ignorant junior." ”
After being hit hard by Shiso, blood flowed into her throat, choking her and coughing loudly, she struggled to get up, Mrs. Shisu's sharp eyes shot directly, and the strength of her whole body was withdrawn a little bit, although she was lying on the ground, her eyes were especially direct, and the sneer on her lips was still.
With such a vision, Mu Xi's heart was on fire for a while, and a slap fell on her face, snap, and another slap, "Such a traitor, it's not too much to break thousands of corpses!" ”
Meng Liuli's eyes did not fall on her, but stared straight at Shisu, hahahaha...... She sneered proudly, "I see how long you princess can be done!" ”
"At that time, I don't need you to beg me, I will be kind to you, hahahaha......" She laughed, letting Mu Xi's slap rain down on her face, blood spilling from the corners of her mouth, but there was no fear in her eyes.
Shisu frowned, and there was an indescribable look in his eyes, some pain, and even more pity.
She looked at Meng Liuli fixedly and smiled, "Of course, I hope you can live to that day." ”
Mu Xi shook her head, her heart was sad, she couldn't help it, she made a killing move, and almost wanted to kill the arrogant woman on the spot. "I don't have a sister like you!"
In an instant, Mrs. Shiso stood up at some point, moved to her side, and grabbed her hand.
"Princess!" Mu Xi blurted out. Mrs. Zisu shook Mu Xi and looked at Meng Liuli condescendingly, "Go back and tell Bing Ningxue that no one can destroy the royal blood contract," she coldly, "Including her." ”
"Hahahaha..... it's been seven years, can you fulfill the blood contract?" Meng Ruri struggled to get up and looked directly at Shiso.
Shisu glanced at her and said contemptuously, "Did I wake you up?" ”
Hum. A cold snort came from the tip of her nose, and she had to kneel back again, and said respectfully, "Subordinates retreat." ”
Shisu waved her hand, motioning for her to retreat. Meng Liuli stood up, looked at Shisu from head to foot, and faintly disappeared with a wild laugh.
"Hmph, Confusing Gu." Shisu sneered, "It's really amazing!" ”
Inadvertently, Mu Xi raised her hand, as if she was going to grab something, her figure paused, put it down, the corners of her mouth moved, and she wanted to say something, but she suddenly stopped, but her eyes were slightly closed, and a tear slipped down and dripped dust.
Seeing her like this, Zi Su looked at the gradually disappearing back, and felt a little sad, and said softly, "You don't have to be sad, if it weren't for the Confused Heart Gu, she would definitely not betray the demon clan." ”
Mu Xi hurriedly stroked her sleeves and wiped her eyes, "Be careful," My sister, it's really troublesome for the princess. ”
"Trouble?" Shisu shook his head sadly, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, "There are already too many troubles in the demon clan, I don't mind having another one." ”
