Chapter 120: There is a secret room
Oda came out of Tian Zhen's house and closed the wooden door lightly. Looking up at the night sky, the dark clouds moved slowly, always obscuring the faint glimmer of moonlight. Xiao Tian smiled childishly and whispered, "When the moon is dark and the wind is high!" ”
Just after the four drums, a team of Qianniu guards passed in front of the gate of Fenghuan Palace, and they couldn't help but light their steps, for fear of disturbing the emperor's sleep.
Dressed in night clothes, Xiao Tian covered with black cloth walked quickly through the palace wall, jumping up and down, falling and jumping, several ups and downs, and disappeared.
The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also silent. The mother-in-law who was on duty at night in the inner house was greedy for a cup, ate more turbid wine, and fell asleep while sitting one or two, and the snoring was suppressed and frustrated, like an out-of-tune song, which shook people's ear drums numb.
The head of the family, Wei Baohu, was neatly dressed, as if he was going out as a guest, and his thumb was still covered with a moist white jade wrench, with a hook, and he said to himself: "It's been another month." ”
Oda arrived in the secret room, quietly pitch black. He had the foresight to stop by the imperial dining room and took a plate of Daigo cakes. Put the Daigo cake on the table, take out the fire fold, light the candle, and complain with a smile: "These villains, let me wait for them again!" ”
A light is like a bean, this halo is only enough to illuminate Xiao Tian's surroundings, otherwise it is hazy and hidden in the darkness.
Xiao Tian sat cross-legged on the futon, bored and picked up a piece of Daigo cake, and before he could put it in his mouth, he heard a knock on the door, and Qiu Shilang entered, "Ah! You're the first again! Between the words, there is some guilt.
After Zhao Chang's death, the people gradually dispersed, and when everyone was disheartened and at a loss, Cui He Cui Tingxian was martyred and fulfilled the righteousness.
Appreciation, admiration, ridicule, and sarcasm followed.
However, Cui He's move invisibly aroused the dissatisfaction of someone or some people with Zhao Xu. Although at that time, Zhao Xu put on a noble posture with no intention of taking the throne. But there are still people who see through his ambitions.
This person is Qiu Yi. Qiu Yi's beloved son, Qiu Shilang, is Zhao Chang's staff. Father and son will also discuss the government and Zhao Chang in their spare time. It is undeniable that Qiu Shilang admires and respects Zhao Chang. Even if he switched to Zhao Xu after Zhao Chang's death, his mind towards Zhao Chang has never changed in the slightest.
Everyone says that the boy is the north grass, and the wall swings with the wind.
Who knows the misery?
Qiu Yi once said to Qiu Shilang, "Therefore, the prince Chang can't sit on the country, but he has to be as righteous as the court, and he will die clearly." You are a staff member, and you should do your best to repay the prince, so the prince knows people wisely. Yes, please go to the third prince Xu. If the descendants of the late prince have a plan, it is the time for you to do your best. ”
Qiu Shilang obeyed his father's orders and worked hard to get close to Zhao Xu. At that time, Zhao Xu was just canonized as the crown prince.
It's a pity that after Zhao Xu ascended the throne, he couldn't trust Qiu Shilang wholeheartedly, and only two years ago he was promoted from Yubu Wailang to Yu Bulangzhong, who was in charge of the supply of vegetables and charcoal for hundreds of officials.
Qiu Shilangzhi was not an official, but he took advantage of his position to establish a good relationship with the officials of the DPRK and China and listen to the news.
"Hehe, you're far away!" Xiao Tian pushed the plate in front of Qiu Shilang, Nunu pouted, and said, "Taste, this is a new trick in the imperial dining room." ”
The squirrel Daigo cake was poured with a layer of starch sugar, and it was not short when it was put away, the cake was cold and a little wrinkled, but the cute appearance was not half reduced. Qiu Shilang pursed his lips and smiled, picked up one and looked at it repeatedly, "Tut, how can you be willing to eat it if you look like this?!" As soon as he finished speaking, he bit off half of the squirrel's buttocks.
"How does it taste?"
"It's delicious." Qiu Shilang replied vaguely.
Looking at Qiu Shilang, whose cheeks were fluttering, Xiao Tian couldn't help but think of the carefree and good times in the Prince's Mansion.
"You eat too, what are you doing?" Qiu Shilang's chin raised, pointed to the Daigo cake in Xiao Tian's hand, and said, "If you are reluctant to eat it, bring it to me." As he spoke, he made a gesture to grab it.
Oda opened his mouth wide and filled the Daigo cake into it, "You're so beautiful." He was stuffed, and he couldn't hear what he said clearly, and the evil smile in his eyes was exchanged for Qiu Shilang's ridicule: "Stingy." ”
After Qiu Shilang finished eating, he sucked his fingers unsatisfied, took out a letter from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Xiao Tian, "Oh, thank you for the letter." He has arrived in Liangzhou, everything is fine, so that we don't need to worry. ”
Xiao Tian's eyes flashed, Daigo Cake quickly chewed and chewed, couldn't wait to take the letter, and said angrily: "You are also Yu Langzhong, you don't have any manners." Saying this, he knew in his heart that Qiu Shilang wanted to make him happy before he made such a move.
"Sesame big officials, who are rare." Qiu Shilang took out a poplar comb and combed his chin beard.
The former jade-faced boy not only grew a beard, but also had sporadic silver threads mixed with his black hair. It's only been ten years or so, and they're old.
However, when he met the prince in his dream, he was still in his prime, dignified and chic.
Time is kind to the deceased.
Ordinary people who are busy in the world cannot escape the torment of time.
Oda unfolded the letter and read it in the dim candlelight. In a few words, it is recorded that Liao Qi passed through Shanzhou and Zhang Duhu to drink and talk, and even surrendered to Liangzhou, where the local Haoqiang Bai Maolin personally led people to greet him, and respected him very much. He also went to Zhenquan Temple to burn a high incense stick for Master Boruo.
Knowing that everything went smoothly for Liao Qi, Xiao Tian breathed a sigh of relief and said with a straight face: "Chengyou's promotion to assassin history is indeed not bad." ”
Qiu Shilang put away his joking expression and responded solemnly: "Hmm." It is 108,000 miles away from Kyoto in the northwest, and the mountain is far away from the emperor, so it is a good place. ”
"However, Chengyou Xing may not stay in Liangzhou for too long." Oda brought the letterhead close to the candle flame, and once the ink incense was burned, it emitted the smell of ice chips and pine branches, and when it was all burned to ashes, Oda raised his eyebrows, "Huh? Why hasn't Hou Ye come yet? ”
"Don't worry, wait a little longer." As soon as Qiu Shilang's words fell, the door of the secret room rang again, Wei Baohu and Shi Yingxian entered together, and seeing that Qiu Shilang and Xiao Tian were there, Wei Baohu quipped: "This time, Lao Cha is at the end, let him invite us to have a drink next time." ”
Having said that, they all knew in their hearts that when they got out of this secret room, they would have to go their separate ways, and they would have to pretend that they didn't know each other by chance.
"Chengyou has arrived in Liangzhou." Xiao Tian picked up the plate with both hands and handed it to Wei Baohu, "The Daigo cake in the palace tastes good. ”
Daigo cake is Wei Baohu's favorite, he smiled and waved his big hand, picked up the fattest one, and said, "Huh? This little guy is compared to the sugar-noodled spring beef in Donggu Xie Mansion. ”
"Winter melon and sugar lotus flowers are delicious." Xiao Tian replied smoothly and handed the plate to Shi Yingxian. There were only two left in the saucer, one was in a daze with his little hands down, and the other was sitting quietly, Shi Yingxian felt the fun of hanging his little hands, so he picked it up, "Can winter melon candy still be made into a lotus?" How? ”
Xiao Tian and Wei Baohu said in unison: "I don't know." ”
After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.
"I heard that Higashiya Xie Jiuro taught the Little Yellow Gate Drum Song in the palace, right?" Qiu Shilang asked Xiao Tian.
"Yes, that's right." Xiao Tian put down the plate, "In the past few days, I have stayed with him in Wuyuan and helped him pass on words and run errands. ”
"You still have to work to do such work as passing words and running errands?" Shi Yingxian was aggrieved for Xiao Tian.
Xiao Tian pursed his lips and smiled: "There is no way, those who are slaves and maids have to listen to the master's assignment." Now, I am a member of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and I have to listen to him. "Read the latest chapter of "Phoenix Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
