Chapter 19 Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang

There are many pavilions lit by star lanterns in the palace, made of white stone, and the lights are not extinguished all night.

Baique sent Yuan Jiyue in the direction of the Star Picking Tower.

Yuan Jiyue stopped in the middle of the road, pulled her to the side with skill, pointed to the pavilion and said, "The night is beautiful, why don't you just sit outside for a while, let me enjoy the good scenery in the palace." ”

Baique was covered with sweat, and wiped the sweat from his palms without a trace. Glancing at the pavilion, she smiled and invited her in: "The High Priest said yes. ”

The stone bench is refreshing.

The stone table was bare.

Baique pressed Yuan Jiyue's shoulder to let her sit down, and then sat down herself under her humility. I could already vaguely see the roof of the tea cup, and Baique sent the donkey to get the snow water that the Queen Mother wanted to drink, and second, to let her bring some tea and melon and fruit snacks.

The foot travel is extremely fast, and the wind goes back and forth. Two plates of pastries with tea sets and hibiscus gardenias, waiting to be served. I just hope that Baique will not teach her a lesson for the sake of her quick hands and feet.

Baique didn't have the heart to deal with her an ignorant girl, but she was too miserable, afraid that she would cause trouble if she was left behind, so she waved her hand and asked her to go back to Chengde Palace, which was considered that she was afraid of her. Ignoring Lu'er's expression as if she had been released, she grabbed the handle of the teapot and wanted to add tea to the cup: "This girl has no sense of proportion, so it's good that she didn't collide with the immortal master." ”

Yuan Jiyue blocked the spout of the pot and took the pot with her hand, intending to add the two teacups to eight points full. With the sound of flowing water, her soft voice slowly overflowed from her lips: "She's a girl with solid eyes, and she can't talk about collisions." However, she made me understand that my aunt valued me so much, and I was really moved. ”

Baique was snatched alive by her, withdrew his hand, and his tone was deep and tentative: "Listening to the meaning of the donkey, the immortal master thinks that it is not a ghost that he bumped into, but a person?" ”

Yuan Jiyue hooked her lips and replied: "Outsiders don't know, doesn't my aunt know?" She bumped into a nobleman, how could this nobleman be a person. ”

Baique slapped his thigh in a big realization form: "Yes, the slaves and maids are all dizzy!" ”

"The first high priest is my nephew, and although he has passed away, he still misses the palace. I had the fate to go and make sure that the palace was still safe for him before leaving, and he was relieved to know and be relieved. "The tea is getting full, and Yuan Jiyue continues to solve her doubts with the pot," the girl swore that she had hit a soul, and I thought why she could be so sure and tease her. Knowing that there is such an existence as the Splendid Garden, you avoid this place, I go too eye-catching during the day, so I can only visit at night. ”

She is reasonable, her face is sincere, but Baique does not dare to believe it all, she is now three points of faith and seven points of doubt. Calmed down by the wind, he quietly persuaded: "The friendship between the immortal master and the high priest is touching! But the immortal master promised the slave and maid never to go again, how can he be contaminated with bad luck for us, and how can the saint feel at ease? ”

"Those who practice are not afraid, but they follow the customs of the locals. My aunt will tell me about the rules of the palace, lest I break your rules. Yuan Jiyue saw that she was not persuaded and didn't care, she was talking about a set of statements that had been prepared a long time ago, and she didn't care whether Baique believed it or not. She put down the pot, "Auntie can't help but accept my cup of tea." This tea is a good tea. ”

"The immortal master asked so seriously, the slave really couldn't remember what to say for a while!" Baique was about to take the tea, counting the cups on the table, there were only two cups of tea in the three cups, and Dong Manman was in front of him with an empty cup.

Yuan Jiyue touched Dong Manman's hair, and untied the peach wooden token on his waist to wear it for him: "I don't know how long it will take to talk to my aunt, so I won't let him accompany me." The road is not complicated, you can pick up the lights and go back. ”

The sparrow raised his glass and pecked lightly, making a "huh" sound.

"Many people don't know him, and I'm afraid that the guards on patrol will block his way." Yuan Jiyue threaded the string through Dong Manman's belt, and the rope was too long to hang straight down to the corner of his robe. She pulled a knot and hung loosely, letting the token hang under his knee, and brushed the tassel underneath, "A man may not recognize his face, but he should recognize these things outside his body that can prove his identity." If anyone stops you and won't let you go, show the momentum of the high priest's disciple and show them the token to stop them. ”

Even though Baique was very wary of her, now that she was teaching a childish child like this, the tea in her mouth almost didn't squirt out: "Look at what the immortal master said, it's the same as how long the road is!" It's only a quarter of an hour left or right. ”

"I feel so sorry for him." Yuan Jiyue ignored Baique's jokes and reached out to wipe away the non-existent dust on Dong Manman's shoulders. At this time, her back was to Baique, her eyelashes fanned lightly, and her eyes opened and closed to give Dong Manman a look, "If I go back late, you don't have to come to look for it, just wait in the Star Picking Tower." Did you listen carefully to what I just said? ”

Dong Manman heard it clearly, turned the jade bead above the token, and nodded solemnly. Turned around and went.

Yuan Jiyue's words are just an adult who returns late admonishing a young child, but with her expression, this hint is about to be put on the surface.

His solemn expression was responding to her.

Yuan Jiyue was as steady as Mount Tai, and greeted Baique motionlessly: "I don't know how to say it, let's not talk about it, let's talk about some serious things." My aunt is valued by the saint, she is the first person around the saint, and she has also seen that nobleman. ”

"No, I didn't." The tea was too hot, and the movement of the hundred birds blowing the herbal tea slowed down, "Where can this kind of strange thing be said everywhere, not to mention that the nobles are so important to the saints, and the slaves and maids are lowly and are not qualified to listen to them." ”

"So, my aunt only learned about it recently."

"The slave's family was seriously ill, and when he received grace, he went home for a month. On the day of looking for the immortal master, the slave maid returned to the palace, and I heard the saint say that he wanted to leave the palace, and it was not a trivial matter for the Son of Heaven to leave home, and the slave and maid only knew the truth after asking carefully. ”

Yuan Jiyue brought tea and touched Baique: "It turns out that my aunt left the palace in early August." ”

Dong Manman went not in the direction of the Star Picking Tower, but on the road of the Splendid Garden.

He stood alone in front of the gate of the Splendid Garden, took a deep breath, and snapped the knocker.

Two of them, no one cares.

And he kept knocking.

Finally knocked open by him.

The person who came was a father-in-law in charge, with a black and blue robe wrapped around his round body, and he couldn't even hang a belt on his round belly. The face of the pile of fat and folds was shiny.

He thought it was a noble man who had come to deliver something to be washed, and came out with a smile on his face.

When I saw that the person standing outside the door was a weak and unruly child, dressed plainly and not like the young master of the family, I thought that it was brought in by the father-in-law of the palace, and it was not a character who could not afford to offend. His face was gloomy, and he rolled up his sleeves to flick the whip: "Who are you to bring in the child, and dare to disturb your grandfather's purity?" Get out of here! ”

There was also blood on the whip.

Dong Manman was startled by his fierce appearance at first, and he was not afraid to see that he was about to make a move. He has been practicing martial arts for many years, so he is not afraid to do it with others.

"I said you can't go! Looking for something to do, isn't it? "My father-in-law is used to being powerful in the Splendid Garden, and the people in the Splendid Garden are afraid that he will hold him and let him easily dominate one side.

When others were working, he supervised the work and smoked anyone who didn't like him. He was being disturbed by someone who was smoking, and he held his breath.

He raised his arm and wanted to whip it over!

Dong Manman wears a sword, but he doesn't like to fight.

Thinking of Yuan Jiyue's words, he tore off the token that was not tied tightly, and said loudly: "I came on the order of the high priest, you dare to beat me?" ”

He spoke loudly and milkily, without deterrence. But he is full of racks, and this brand is enough to support his momentum.

My father-in-law's eyes were not good at reading the words on it, but he didn't dare to do it easily. Lean forward, take off the token and look at it in your hand.

What a token unique to the High Priest!

He almost beat the High Priest's men!

He was shocked, his small eyes narrowed into a line, and he wiped the token with his sleeve diligently, as if he wanted to wipe the wood so that it could shine on the human figure: "Look at it, this thing is not good, it is simply a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, why is the family still fighting!" Why didn't you say it earlier, the slave almost offended the son when he thought about it, and his heart and liver were ruined! ”

Dong Manman silently snatched back the token and didn't let him wipe it.

The father-in-law slapped himself and pleaded guilty, but he couldn't be heavy-handed to himself, and his palm was gently touching his face, playing the same: "You must not be like a slave, a slave is shallow-eyed and has no vision!" ”

Poor Dong Manman has been transformed into a human form for nine years, and he has seen either a person with the same demeanor as his eldest brother, or an iron-clad man in the White Tiger Hall, where have I ever seen a person who changes his face so quickly and is so flattering. After the majesty, he didn't know how to react.

Seeing that he didn't stop, his father-in-law fanned him for a long time and poked him.

Dong Manman dodged his hand and tried to be fierce: "I have something to do." ”

The father-in-law nodded: "Little Peide, is the steward of the Splendid Garden, you command!" Dare to ask what instructions the high priest has? ”

Dong Manman thought about it and went to the garden: "It's inconvenient to tell you." You call everyone into the garden and let me see. ”

Pedere followed all the way.

When Pei De's hands were not able to rest, the palace people all scrubbed the gong bucket in the courtyard, and there was no need to deliberately convene it.

The men and women fell to their knees in fear. Although they live at the bottom, they wear palace clothes like the bright palace people, but they are washed and patched. Some wore veils on their faces, some didn't.

In Dong Manman's opinion, there is no difference between being masked and not being masked, he doesn't know anyone.

He came to find someone, but he didn't know what the person he was looking for looked like, and he couldn't recognize him even if he stood in front of him.

He went inside. Before entering, he turned his head and said, "You are not allowed to come in until I come out." ”

The house was so simple that there were no tables and chairs, only the palace people's mattresses and bedside cabinets. He could only climb up and rummage through it.

Flipped over one room after another.

Folding his clothes back again, he sat down on the edge of the bed in frustration.

All the houses were turned over, except for the rich savings and some silver in the Pui Tak Mansion, and only a few old clothes were turned out.

It's impossible, it's his master who asked him to find it, and it can't be nothing......

But he really found all the places he could find.

Is there anything missing?

Look again!

He threw himself on the edge of the bed and froze and touched the mattress again.

Finally found out that something was wrong.
