Chapter 107: The Final Chapter

Previous Chapter

"Snow River! You, what are you doing? ”

Qin Bai was originally afraid that the fire would burn and destroy the manuscript, wouldn't ten years of hard work be in vain? At this moment, he saw that Xue He was enchanted and helping those people to light the fire, so he couldn't help frowning and said:

"Are you burning fast enough?"

When he accosted him, Xuehe was even more angry, and said angrily at him:

"You dog emperor! Every day, he arrests and kills people everywhere with Jinyi Guard, which makes the whole capital panic! You have read so many books, which book teaches you how to behave as an emperor? How can an emperor ever kill a minister and spank a minister's ass at every turn?! In the end, it made the heavens angry and resentful, and now the eunuchs and the guards colluded to burn you, so you say that you didn't ask for it?! ”

Qin Bai was speechless, and he didn't dare to fight back.

"Jun Qi is by your side all day long, do you dare to say that he hasn't told you these big truths? He never persuaded you when you messed around?! Have you ever listened to him?! ”

The more Xue He talked, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to come down and bite him twice.

Qin Bai sighed and whispered: "He often persuades me, but I don't think he is annoying, and I never listen." ”

"So you deserve it! It's okay to die yourself, and you have to drag a bunch of people to bury you! I shouldn't have bothered you! The bitter fruit you have sown deserves to be swallowed by yourself! …… Why should I bother with you?! ”

Xue He said and spoke, thinking of the old eunuch's vain death in the chaos of arrows, he was angry, hateful and sad for a while, and he actually shed tears.

When Qin Bai saw her like this, he didn't dare to persuade her, so he had to listen silently.

The fire lit at the gate had gradually become a trend, and the blazing tongue of fire licked straight to the bucket arches and cornices on the roof, and the wind had been northwest recently, and the people outside were probably forced to not get close, and the archery gradually stopped.

Seeing that there was an opportunity, Xue He cautiously walked from the beam to the top of the side close to Qin Bai's case, slowly slid down the column, and beckoned: "Come here quickly!" ”

Qin Bai swallowed with difficulty, and looked left and right: although he wanted to go over, there were arrows everywhere on the table and on the ground, and cold arrows were released from time to time, and there was an inexplicable sense of horror that he would become a hedgehog in seconds when he took a step, which was strange and scary.

Xue He glared and said, "Hurry up!" What can you do under a chair? The planks are so thin, wouldn't it be bad if one of them wore them?! ”

It seems that scolding is scolding, and she still thinks about me in her heart. Qin Bai's heart was moved, and although he was reluctant, he still moved in her direction. However, one or two cold arrows flew again, and landed not far away, which made people tremble for a while, and he couldn't help but shrink back again.

In her opinion, the emperor's book case in the middle of the main hall was obviously a target, and all the arrows were almost shot in this direction like long eyes, and it was much safer to hide in any corner than this!

Although the news of the distress has been sent, Junqi should arrive soonβ€”hopefully not too late, at least before the hall burns down.

So, for now, just make sure you don't get shot before you burn to death.

"Mallow! Don't force me to screw you! ”

Xue He urged again impatiently, and seeing that he was still trembling and refused to move, he simply stepped forward, grabbed him, and forcibly pulled him to his side.

However, the moment she turned around, a cold arrow flew through the barrier of fire at great speed, piercing her left chest from behind, her body shook, and then she fell limply.

"Snow River!"

Qin Bai was protected by her behind the pillar, and saw the arrow flying towards her. With her dexterity, there was a chance to dodge, but if she did, the arrow would inevitably hit the person behind her. After only hesitating for a moment, Qin Bai watched her being shot, and then fell into his arms:

"Snow River! Snow River! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Sure enough, you were trapped. ”

A bright red slowly seeped out of her chest, like a blooming camellia.

"Snow River, Snow River! No! Don't do this! ”

Qin Bai was at a loss for a while, but at the moment he couldn't do anything except hug her tightly and shout her name loudly.

Everything happened too suddenly, so flexible and cunning Snow River, like a vigorous swallow when it was still shuttling in the rain of arrows, so proud and beautiful, but in the blink of an eye, it was dying and in danger.

Qin Bai didn't want to believe that this had really happened, and that there was no way to do it.

"Don't do that! Snow River! ”

There was no trace of pain in her expression, she just looked straight at his face, and her lips had turned pale:

"When I said goodbye, I was actually scared. …… I'm afraid that when I see you, I will be reluctant to leave...... I am even more afraid that I will suddenly change my mind and give up everything...... Stay with you. ”

She frowned suddenly, as if gritting her teeth, and gently spat out the last words in his ear:

"You idiot......"

"Snow River! Snow River! ”

Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the door, and the broken door and the fragments of the tables and chairs were shaken away by a powerful force, and Junyi's voice came from outside: "Extinguish the fire!" …… Emperor?! ”

Jun Qi ran in front of him with a solemn face, and saw Qin Bai sitting on the ground with Xuehe in his arms, looking like he should be worry-free; I just breathed a sigh of relief, but I heard him suddenly let out a heart-rending roar.

β€”β€”

Half a year later.

After the rain, Wushan is like a girl who has just taken a bath, beautiful and delicious, but she covers her face with tulle.

Of course, if there was no indescribable fishy stench in the air, Zhu Shixing Palace could really be said to be a fairyland on earth.

Jun Qi's brows were knotted, and he only met Xuehe and said a few words, but he couldn't help this disgusting taste, so he had to cover his mouth and nose and say nothing.

"Boiled Immortal Venerable!"

Xue He couldn't bear it and yelled at the star tower behind him: "Can you control it a little!" Anyway, there's a guest feeding! ”

Shu Hai's impatient voice came from a distance above the bamboo building: "It's good, it's good!" ”

Xue He shrugged apologetically and handed him a Awakening Pill.

Jun Yi took it and sniffed it, although it was a little better, he still decided to plug his nostrils, and said angrily:

"Do you know, the fire you lit back then, the fragrance of corpse oil ointment permeated most of the capital, and it is rumored that it is said that the incense god came to the world, and lit a piece of ambergris incense in the capital, which is a sign of auspiciousness for me! But who would have imagined that the treasure would be refined from such a stinky thing. ”

Xue He smiled: "When my master was refining medicine, it was simply smelly!" But when it comes to refining, as long as it is a little bit, it can be fragrant for a hundred miles! If you put it outside, when its toxicity dissipates, the aroma can be strong and lasts for several days, which is indeed a rare and good spice in the world! ”

"Even this is very toxic! At the beginning, just a little bit of your little jar, sprinkled the little eunuch's body, burned it in the fire, and poisoned all the rebellious eunuch guards on the spot, not to mention, the death was quite miserable, and it turned into a rotting corpse! Since then, there have even been rumors in the palace that all rebels will be cursed - what is said that the emperor has practiced witchcraft and turned the three thousand palace maids into female ghosts who guard the palace, and it has spread to the gods! ”

mentioned the events of that year, Jun Yi shook his head:

"Fortunately, I found it early, and quickly threw the antidote into the fire and incinerated it together, otherwise I don't know how many innocent people would have been killed!"

Xue He was a little embarrassed and said: "In a hurry, I can't think about it." ”

Jun Qi waved his hand: "In that case, I can't take care of it much!" If Qin Bai died, everyone's efforts over the past few years would have been in vain! ”

Speaking of this, he sighed again: "Then again, this thing is a bit similar to Qin Bai!" At the beginning, our brothers disliked him, he was cowardly and incompetent, useless and disliked! But when they got to the end of their lives, they became the ones who really repaired the book, and they also built it into a masterpiece that shocked the world! ”

As he spoke, he saw his hand shake, and the books in the eight treasure bags in his sleeves slowly flew out, piling up several large stacks in front of her:

"The Yongle Canon, with a total of 22,877 volumes, 11,095 volumes. In addition to the subset of scriptures and history, astronomy and geography, yin and yang medicine, divination, interpretation of Tibetan Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, and agriculture are all inclusive, which is the largest encyclopedia since the beginning of the world, and there is no one! Even the Emperor of Heaven gave it a high evaluation, saying that this was a unique miracle among the Three Realms!

Tut-tut, the revision of the book took six years, and all those who participated in the revision of the book, such as me, were rewarded by the Emperor. ”

"Wow, there are so many?"

Xue He's attention was all on the book, and he didn't even care about what he said. She happily looked at the flying pages in front of her, the neat small characters in the pavilion style, and the hand-copied strokes and drawings of the scribes, I don't know how many people's efforts have been condensed:

"He really did it?"

"Well, I'm glad I arrived in time! Otherwise, the fire in the Yongle Hall will be over. ”

"Hmph, if you don't come back until it's all burned, there's no need for you to keep this head!"

Xue He glanced at him coldly: "I burned talismans and incense, and finally put myself in!" You're just going to put out a fire and clean up the mess, and you still have a face to complain?! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare! You really do a lot of work! ”

Jun Yi smiled: "I have written this matter into the debriefing report, rest assured, the credit will definitely be indispensable to you!" ”

"Who wants that!"

Jun Qi pointed to the book in front of him and said, "This is a copy of this I copied and brought back to the Heavenly Court!" The original is now hidden in the Hanlin Temple, you should really go and see it with your own eyes! The paper craftsmanship, framing, and binding, and the way the whole book is neatly erected and placed on the shelves is really shocking! ”

Jun Qi said, and then took the book again, and a sense of pride overflowed.

"Just let me see it first! A copy only! Don't be so stingy! ”

Jun Yi smiled and shook his head, but in the end, he had a copy left in his hand and handed it to her: "This copy is specially prepared for you, take it." ”

Xue He's heart was full of joy, he held it with both hands, unfolded it, and Juanxiu's small characters immediately came into view, which was the manuscript he copied by himself. It was an indescribable joy to see it compiled into a book and compiled into a canon along with the manuscripts of many famous writers of the time.

"Also, after the fire, he went to the queen to talk about the establishment of the academy. Yu Miaojin really agreed, not only set up academies in Kunning Palace, but also set up women's departments in famous academies in various places, and recruited a large number of female officials to enter the palace to participate in the revision of books. It is precisely because of her participation that the efficiency of book revision has been greatly improved! Otherwise, it would not have been finished in just half a year. ”

Jun Yi smiled:

However, the two of them are always busy with their own work, and even if they exchange manuscripts, they are all handled by the editors, and they can't even say a few words when they meet! There's no mess, you can rest assured. ”

Xue He glanced at him: "...... Who asked you that. ”

"In short, the Emperor of Heaven is very satisfied with this result, and originally planned to leave Qin Bai in Heavenly Court as an official, but he refused."

"Huh? Why is that? ”

"Why didn't you ask him directly?"

Jun Yi smiled bitterly and looked left and right: "Eh, he came with me, and they didn't part until they reached the mountain gateβ€”why, you haven't seen him yet?" ”

"Nope!"

When Xuehe heard this, he immediately abandoned him and ran towards the mountain gate. Sure enough, from a distance, I saw a person bending over and panting for breath holding the dismount stone of the mountain gate:

"Junyi! You screw! Wait until I catch you......"

Xue He guessed a few points when he heard it. Eighty percent of them were Junqi who played with him, leaving him to go up the mountain first. Sure enough, when I turned around, where was the bad boy? I'm afraid I've slipped back to Heaven a long time ago!

- I've been bullied for so long, and it's an outlet for evil?

Xue He stepped forward with a smile, looked at the person in front of him who was sweating profusely and was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and deliberately raised his voice and said, "That's difficult!" As soon as the scorching sun of the West Pole spreads joy, no matter how many legs the beast is, it can't catch up with it! ”

Qin Bai raised his head suddenly, and saw a pair of smiling eyes, eyebrows like distant mountains, red lips and teeth, it was the person who thought about it in his memory.

In an instant, my memory reversed, and I remembered the last time I was separated from her.

knew that she was just wearing the skin of a beauty, knowing that she was a princess of heaven and would not be hurt by mortals at all, and even more knowing that she would not die at all, but when he saw her being hit by an arrow in the chest, he still couldn't help but feel heartache, so painful that it was like someone had gouged out his heart and liver, and he couldn't live anymore; He was so sad that he cried without hesitation, even if Jun Qi looked at him like a fool.

"Snow River!"

Qin Bai couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears or snot, he couldn't care about embarrassment at all, he called out, and just stretched out his hand to her, but his knees were weak, and he knelt in front of the mountain gate with a plop.

Xue He was a little distressed when he saw his miserable situation, but when he saw that he suddenly fell short before he arrived, he couldn't help but stiffen his expression: "...... I haven't seen you for half a year, and you're still so polite? ”

Qin Bai simply didn't care about it! The mountain road leading to Zhu Shixing Palace was like a maze, he climbed the mountain until his legs were weak and he couldn't stand steadily, but he knew that he was about to see the snow river, how could he stop?

What is the image, forget it! He simply kept kneeling and hugged her all of a sudden, crying and aggrieved: "Snow River! Junyi's grandson lied to me again! He told me that this is the way up the mountain, let me walk slowly! But I just went around and around in circles! ”

"Let's get up first! Kneel down at every turn, isn't it a shame? ”

"I'm not kneeling anymore! …… My legs are really sore, ma'am! ”

"Hurry up!"
