Chapter 119: The Array of Incense Killing
Yu Xianggu hurriedly walked over, wanting to stretch out his hand but stopped: "What's the matter?" ”
"Maybe I didn't pay attention just now, and I was injured by that little thief." The corners of Lin Mengsheng's mouth hooked slightly, and he sat directly on the stool next to him.
Yu Xianggu took the box behind the bookshelf, which contained gauze and wound medicine.
Yu Xianggu used scissors to cut open Lin Mengsheng's sleeve, revealing a slender wound that was still oozing blood. The bleeding stopped after a simple bandage.
"I heard you're resigning?" Seeing that someone grinned in pain, Yu Xianggu casually provoked the topic.
"Well, anyway, Cangguo doesn't lack me as a merchant imperial history."
That Cang Ye likes to do it himself, not to mention, Lin Mengsheng has now found something more fun.
"Then you can pack your things and get out of Yujing City tomorrow."
"Why?"
"You don't have a household registration, and you don't have the status of an envoy, how can you stay? Don't forget that I'm the one in charge of the capital. ”
"Tsk, don't worry about it. The prime minister has already found a job for me. ”
"What's the job?"
"I'm going to give a lecture if I'm too learned! She thinks I have the qualifications to be a student of chemistry. ”
"Mistaken son!"
After finishing it, Yu Xianggu got up, but he felt dizzy and almost wanted to fall!
Lin Mengsheng's eyes were quick, his two hands were wrapped, and he quickly held Yu Xianggu's waist, and pulled his wound with a "hiss".
Yu Xianggu knew, but he stood firm and walked out of the study directly.
"Tsk, that's really cold."
Lin Mengsheng knocked on himself, he didn't know how much nonsense he said! Will you still be able to hang around Yu Xianggu in the future!
In the morning, there were fast horses entering the Yu Mansion and the Imperial Palace.
Lin Mengsheng lifted the quilt and stretched his waist, and suddenly saw Yu Xianggu standing outside the door, frozen instantly!
"Hehe......" A certain Lin laughed awkwardly for three seconds, crying in his heart for a long time, where did his image fall now?
After quickly cleaning himself up and dressing up as handsome and chic as usual, Lin Mengsheng took a big step and walked in front of Yu Xianggu: "Yu Fu Yin is early!" ”
"You go to Luozi County right now......"
"What's wrong?"
"The prince sent it to Luozi County!"
"Assassination?"
"The situation is urgent, and I have to snatch her back for me!"
Lin Mengsheng immediately realized the seriousness of the matter from the word "robbery", brushed the hair on his forehead, waved his light skills, and set off.
As soon as he swept out of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped, turned around and returned to Yu Xianggu, shook the two locks of green silk on his forehead, and said with a smile: "I heard that the prime minister's next stop is Ru County, and that county guard is known as Qingtian Yama, what if I go and encounter danger?" ”
"And I won't die......"
"Oh, that's sad."
"Forget it, if you don't go, I'll go by myself." Yu Xianggu staggered Lin Mengsheng, turned around to the study to pack his things, and after Lin Mengsheng was stunned, he got his baggage and walked out of the yard, and when he saw Fudi, he pulled his shoulder and ordered, "I'm going to Yancheng for a trip, and I have something to find Mr." ”
"Is the master going to find the master? Bring the villain along! ”
"You also followed, who will take care of the house for me?"
Yu Xianggu smiled slightly and left the courtyard.
Lin Mengsheng in the room finally came back to his senses and ran out to chase the ink green shadow.
"Eh, I didn't say no, you impatiens!"
"Impatiens?" Fudi muttered in surprise.
"It's acute!"
One green and one white, disappeared into the corner of the courtyard.
Yancheng.
The half-month trip made Yu Xianggu and the two of them shrink into three days with fast horses.
As soon as he arrived at the county guard's mansion, Yu Xianggu was covered in dust and exhaustion, and almost fell off his horse.
Lin Mengsheng flew up and hugged the person down safely.
"Humph!" Yu Xianggu flicked his sleeves, but when he caught a glimpse of Lin Mengsheng's blood-stained dark red clothes, he couldn't bear it anymore.
The housekeeper came out and asked, "Who is here?" ”
Yu Xianggu took his seal from his bosom.
"It turned out to be Yu Fu Yin, and my county guard has been waiting for a long time."
Lin Mengsheng smiled, rushed into the door before Yu Xianggu, and talked to the housekeeper: "Yo, Ji Junshou already knew that we were coming?" ”
"Yes."
All the way to the courtyard where Ji Cheng entertained guests, three dishes and one soup were already in place.
"Let's have something to eat."
As soon as Yu Xianggu was about to refuse, he was pressed by Lin Mengsheng to sit on the stool, filled a bowl of rice and put it in his hand: "Parents, don't waste it." ”
Saying that, Lin Mengsheng also filled a bowl of rice himself, and ate it with all the dishes on the table.
After the meal, Ji Cheng prepared a soup bath and asked the two of them to wash the dust.
After tossing like this, it was already the middle of the night.
"Yu Fuyin, let's rest first, and I'll take you to see the prime minister tomorrow."
Lin Mengsheng raised his eyebrows, walked in front of Ji Cheng and turned around, and said with a smile: "Okay, just listen to you, we'll sleep first." ”
Ji Cheng smiled lightly and retired.
"The prime minister is not in the house." Lin Mengsheng smiled and said what he thought.
"Hmm."
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?"
"Do you know who the two people you saw just now are?" Yu Xianggu sat down at the tea table and picked out the oil wick.
The flames flickered, and the room brightened a lot.
Lin Mengsheng also sat down: "I want to hear about it." ”
"In the past, Yancheng had four uniques, namely lamp, wine, incense, and seal. The lamp is a Ji's lantern, which is complex or simple, exquisite; The wine is Gu Ji rice wine, mellow and sweet, with a long charm; Incense is a spice of the Yan family, which has always been used as a tribute to the court; The seal is an official seal, and the seals used by officials above the seventh grade are all produced by Yancheng. And the two people you just met, one is Ji Cheng, the county guard, who is the descendant of the Ji family, and the other is the inheritor of Gu Ji rice wine. ”
"Yo yo yo, such a history!" Lin Mengsheng stood up and walked around the room, "Then I'm going to ask the county guard for two lanterns, and ask that brother for wine!" ”
Yu Xianggu smiled, his eyes fell on Lin Mengsheng's injured right arm, and said quietly: "You still want to drink?" ”
"Eh, it's a trifle!"
Yu Xianggu glanced at it and didn't speak: "With the two of them here, the prime minister should be fine." ”
The next morning, Yu Xianggu opened the door after washing, and saw Ji Cheng waiting at the door early in the morning.
"Ji Junshou?"
"Yu Fu Yin, the lower officials came to ask for guilt!"
Yu Xianggu frowned slightly and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"The Prime Minister has been missing for many days! Xiaguan searched all over Yancheng and found no trace of the prime minister. ”
"Have you searched all the places?" Yu Xianggu clasped his hand tightly on the door and exerted a slight force.
"And Yanfu."
Ji Cheng took out the map of Yancheng and spread it on the table.
Yu Xianggu circled the Yan Mansion on the bank of the Luzi River with his fingertips, buckled the tabletop, and then moved his hand to the cliff on the side: "Here, what kind of place is it?" ”
"This is the land of Yanfu, and it has always been a workshop for making spices."
"Workshop? In my correspondence, the Prime Minister mentioned a special workshop, which is it? Yu Xianggu looked at the map carefully and realized, "If you want to hide a person, you can do it anywhere." The person who can hide is the prime minister, so it has to be here! Here is the steep mountain pass in the rear, and the turbulence of the river in front of it, which can be attacked and defended, and there is a degree of advance and retreat. ”
"What about us?"
"Send two teams of people to the capital and Rujun respectively to see if the prime minister has set off in advance."
"Master Qiqi, Boss Yan of Yan Mansion, I ask to meet the guest who just came to meet alone."
"Boss Yan?" Yu Xianggu turned to look at Ji Cheng, "Is that the master of the Yan Mansion on the picture?" ”
"Yes."
"Then let him in!"
"Boss Yan only sees you alone."
Yu Xianggu was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Okay." ”
Ji Cheng pulled Yu Xianggu's sleeve and stuffed a green wine bottle for him: "Yu Fu Yin, don't worry." ”
Soon, the sedan chair of the Yan Mansion arrived outside the county guard's mansion, picked up Yu Xianggu and left.
"Hey! I said, I didn't even ask Uncle Ben, and I picked him up? ”
Lin Mengsheng seemed to have just washed out of the house, looking for Yu Xiangxiang without a trace, and shouted at Ji Cheng.
"This is the famous Qi domestic history, right?"
The smile on Lin Mengsheng's face gradually dissolved, and was replaced by a frosty coldness: "Yo, Lin is still a celebrity in Yu Kingdom?" ”
"My elder brother Gu Hui sent a jar of aged wine this morning, I wonder if Lin Neishi can laugh at it?"
Seeing the wine and smelling the fragrance again, Lin Mengsheng's temper was reduced by half: "I accepted the wine, but don't mention the affairs of Qi in the future, Lin doesn't like to hear it." ”
Ji Cheng smiled, glanced at Lin Mengsheng's face unintentionally, sat aside, and said lightly: "This official knows the truth that the past cannot be traced, but whether Lin Neishi knows it, the past has long become the root of life, and he is reluctant to separate." ”
"Eh, stop, stop." Lin Mengsheng stretched out his hand from his white robe and said that he didn't want to continue the topic.
The two sat for a long time, and Lin Mengsheng finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Where did he go?" ”
"Yufu Yin, go to Yanfu for a banquet."
"Alone? Hongmen Banquet? ”
"Not impossible."
Lin Mengsheng was silent when he heard this, but his eyebrows were twisted.
"Lin Neishi is no stranger to Yu Fuyin's deeds, these things are not a problem to tell him at all."
"I know." Lin Mengsheng pursed his lips, finally found a stool to sit down, continued to wait, and got up after a while, "I can't sit still!" I'm going to find him! ”
The corners of Ji Cheng's mouth hooked slightly.
"Lin Neishi might as well wait a little longer, there is still a distinguished guest coming from the mansion today, and you will go to the Yan Mansion together at that time, so you can take care of it."
"Who?"
The corners of Ji Cheng's mouth curved, looking at the gust of wind and dust outside, the housekeeper in the house led a stubborn general in, waved his sleeves and stood up to greet him, and said to Lin Mengsheng: "Look, the distinguished guest is here." ”
The carriage of Yanfu did not stop when it arrived at the house, and went straight to the back mountain, through a lush forest, to the shady workshop.
Yu Xianggu got out of the car and walked, led by the little maid, through the courtyard on the one floor to the other, to a guarded place.
As soon as the gatekeeper was about to stop him, he saw a man wearing a white jade mask come out of it, it was Yan Mingsheng.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Yu Xianggu leaned slightly, and at this time, he couldn't help but raise his head to look at the tall Yan Mingsheng.
"Boss Yan, long time no see. Where is the Prime Minister? ”
"Sure enough, it's a fast-talking gentleman, the prime minister is inside, please come with me."
The subordinates didn't stop him anymore and let Yu Xianggu go.
On the way, the breeze was blowing, and Yu Xianggu asked lightly: "Is the array you mentioned in your letter ready?" ”
"I only owe a wisp of the prime minister's east wind."
"How is she?"
"Ever since I saw the Blue Star Formation, I haven't woken up, as if I've fallen into some kind of nightmare. Yan was a little worried that it would be dangerous. ”
"Oh, it's dangerous." Yu Xianggu sneered, "When you attacked me four years ago, why didn't you consider the danger? ”
Yan Mingsheng smiled apologetically: "Taking advantage of Mr.'s business, Yan apologizes here." You must know that ignorant and unconscious people always have an inexplicable liking and exploration of strange things in the world, and it just so happens that Mr. and Prime Minister have that exciting and strange atmosphere. What surprised me even more was that the prime minister was a person I had never seen before, and who was only described in the books left by my father. ”
"Soulless blood?"
"Hmm."
"So, any clues?"
"I think that by figuring out the secret of the soulless blood, we will be able to find out what the high priest of the Shu Kingdom is up to."
Yu Xianggu was silent.
Yan Mingsheng said lightly: "Perhaps, Yan can still boldly get a glimpse of the secret that Mr. has hidden for twenty years." ”
Yu Xianggu still didn't say anything, and walked to an open courtyard, where there was nothing to hide around, and it was very bright. But there was a faint smell around: "What is this doing?" ”
A plain white bed was placed in the middle of the courtyard, Ye Fu's face was pale, sleeping on it, a verdant cloth shirt covered her thin body, and people were lifeless.
"This array is in the right place at the right time, and with the help of the prime minister's person, only one person who enters the formation can be activated."
"Into the line? Will there be any dangers? ”
"Of course it's risky. The strange fragrance around this is the original creation of my Yan family, which can be amazingly dizzy and have the illusion of an ape. If the person who enters the battle can't control his own mind, he will be infinitely devoured and become a dead soul in the battle! ”
"I didn't know that Boss Yan's use of spices over the years has reached such a point that he can be used as a camp and for thousands of troops."
Yan Mingsheng smiled lightly: "Mr. Xie praises." ”
"I heard that the second princess is missing?"
"Dead." Yan Mingsheng said coldly.
"Dead? She's a royal person, how can you explain when she dies? ”
"What do you have to do with Yan?" Yan Mingsheng sprinkled some light powder around Ye Fu.
The powder floated in the air, as if an invisible force was shouting, and it flowed slowly like a stream of water.
"The second princess is dead, and she has her own Yancheng County to guard the top pot, and I, Yan and Mr., will always be safe."
Hearing this, Yu Xianggu glanced at the "Incense Killing Array" that was gradually taking shape, and asked, "If that east wind doesn't come, what will happen to her?" ”
Yan Mingsheng smiled: "That person will definitely come, Mr. knows better than Yan." Besides, is it really that important? Yan remembers that my husband can even abandon his wife and children, just like he didn't enter my father's bureau back then. ”
"Don't tell me, you and Lin Mengsheng are spurring me on, reminding me of the meaning of existence and the cold-blooded ruthlessness of the past?"
Yan didn't dare. It's just that Mr.'s great cause is on the right track, and neither Yan nor Lin Neishi are allowed to see the unfavorable factors that make Mr. fall into disadvantage. ”
Yu Xianggu glanced at the silent Ye Fu, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "She's not." ”
