Chapter 47: Encountering Bats on the Road

Zhuge Yue stood up, supported Zhuge Eagle with both hands, walked to the edge of the palace from the ground, stretched out, and Zhuge Eagle flew into the sky again.

Zhuge Eagle seemed to understand Zhuge Yue's intentions, and sometimes spread his wings and soared high in the sky, sometimes flew a sharp bend, sometimes retracted one side of his wings and descended rapidly, sometimes quickly retracted his wings, two claws and eagle head, and fell in a wooden block style, and when he fell to the height of the tree, he stretched out his wings and flew up. After a few demonstrations, it flew up to the eagle and pecked the neck of the eagle a few times.

Princess Jianing praised: "It has indeed improved a lot, it is more flexible and changeable than before, and there are indeed a few places that are better than the blue-eyed eagle." ”

Zhuge Yue was satisfied with the knife and put away the knife, and at this time, several huge bats flew over. Princess Jianing said peacefully: "The old man is really here. ”

Zhuge Yue looked at the bats and said, "His treasures are here, I don't know how many." ”

Princess Jianing said, "Scared? ”

Zhuge Yue sighed and said: "I'm really a little scared, if the old man is really my third uncle, then he must be familiar with my family's defense situation, he is also a clever person, it is easy to break through our family, if he is powerful, I don't know how many people will die." ”

Princess Jianing slapped Zhuge Yue and said, "You still told the truth, right?" Seeing Zhuge Yue's sad face, she said again, "I think there must be something hidden in it, but we just don't know, I hope the old man can be superborn." ”

Dozens of bats flew by, the blue-eyed eagle and the Zhuge eagle flapped their wings and chased over, and the bats saw that the two big things were not good, and flew away in several directions.

Princess Jianing suddenly said: "There are some things that my father doesn't expect your father to tell me, but I hope you can play a role so as not to cause unnecessary consequences." ”

Zhuge Yue was a little stunned. Princess Jianing said again: "I mean, find out what happened as soon as possible, especially what happened to the old man back then, so that your family will not be attacked unnecessarily." ”

Zhuge Yue nodded. Princess Jianing said: "Hey, you have to understand, I am treating you preferentially, because you have worked very hard all the way before and after the saddle. ”

Zhuge Yue smiled and said, "Okay, the princess has explained everything, I can't help but know how to lift." ”

The Zhuge family is located in the Qingjian Peak of the Jianling Continent, the courtyard wall is tall, the gatehouse is vermilion, and the gold-lettered signboard is hung on it: Zhuge Family. The ground of Zhuge House is very high, and the surrounding houses extend to the surrounding low places in a stepped manner, and the dense bamboo cultivation grows in the mist, and some people walk around, as if they are in a mirage.

Leaving the palace on the ground, Princess Jianing came down first, and someone from the Zhuge family greeted her, saying, "The son is back, go and inform our master!" ”

Zhuge Yue was very happy, and while cleaning up the palace, he said: "Go and inform the master, just say that the princess of the Great Qiangong has arrived." ”

The subordinate ran in like a flyer, and after a short time, an elegant man about fifty years old walked out, saw Princess Jianing Shi Li, and said, "My subordinate Zhuge Ming has seen Princess Jianing." ”

Princess Jianing was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Zhuge please, don't be polite." ”

Zhuge Ming said: "Princess, please!" ”

Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Yue accompanied Princess Jianing into the courtyard of Zhuge family. Dozens of bats flew in the air, Zhuge Ming looked up, and said to himself: "Where did so many big bats come from?" ”

Zhuge Yue glanced at Princess Jianing, who turned a blind eye and walked quickly to the inside.

Obviously, Zhuge Ming was a little puzzled, but he still quickly followed. He said: "Princess Jianing came from afar, all the way to the road, rest first, and then the Zhuge family will pick up the wind and wash the dust for the princess." ”

Princess Jianing sensed Zhuge Ming's uneasiness, so she smiled and said, "Okay, listen to Mr. Zhuge 's arrangement." ”

The servant led Princess Jianing to the side. Zhuge Ming motioned for Zhuge Yue to go with him.

In the evening, a maid pushed the door in, holding a brand-new underwear and a red brocade robe, smiled lightly, and said, "Princess, this is a brocade robe sent by my son-in-law, please wear it and try it." ”

Princess Jianing put down the comb and touched the brocade robe made of Shu brocade, the fabric was smooth and soft, the color was bright and not dazzling, and the workmanship was exquisite, she couldn't help but show a look of admiration, and said: "Excellent, I'll take a bath first and then wear it." ”

The maid whispered outside the door, "Prepare warm water, flower petals, and spices, and the princess will bathe and change clothes." ”

A maid outside the door agreed, and Shaoqing came in and said, "Princess, please!" ”

Princess Jianing followed the maid to the bathroom, and the maid pulled the light veil on all sides. The water vapor in the light yarn is steaming, and the aroma is tangy. Princess Jianing took off her coat and walked into the pool, where various colored petals floated on the water. Two little maids took snow-white towels to help the princess bathe.

Hot water to wash her body, very relieved, Princess Jianing suddenly felt the fatigue of the days swept away, reached out and picked up the petals and smelled them, looked at them, and said: "There are many kinds of flowers, all of them are waiting for you to pick back?" ”

A maid stopped the towel in her hand and said: "What the princess said is very true, the flowers here are planted and raised by my son, and after the flowers grow, he will select, and all the ones that do not meet his wishes are removed by the next person, and now the flowers have grown into a piece, but it is good-looking, whenever someone bathes, we will pick some back, and then we understand that the original son has matched the color of the flowers, just pick it according to his requirements." ”

Three petals of the same kind entered Princess Jianing's field of vision, she picked it up and looked at it, smelled it, and said, "What kind of flower is this?" ”

The maid said: "This kind of flower is cultivated by my son-in-law, named Yingyue Orchid, which is never seen except for our Zhuge family, it is fragrant and lasting, it seems to be nothing, very noble." ”

Princess Jianing sniffed it again, the fragrance of Yingyue Orchid was straight to her heart but unusually soft, she smiled and stopped squeaking.

After taking a bath, Princess Jianing changed into underwear and brocade robes, stood in front of the mirror to take a look, and smiled.

The maid smiled and said: "Princess, this brocade robe fits very well, my son-in-law is really powerful, and it will be done in a while." ”

Princess Jianing sighed, and said, "Your stinky boy was born to be a tailor?!" ”

The maids covered their mouths and laughed.

Princess Jianing returned to the bedroom, and the maids had already prepared hot tea, and she took a few sips. At this time, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the door, and only Zhuge Ming said: "Has the princess ever rested?" ”

Princess Jianing walked to the outer living room and heard the maid outside: "Back to the master, the princess hasn't rested yet, I'll go and report it." ”

Princess Jianing said loudly: "Mr. Zhuge is invited." ”

Zhuge Ming and Zhuge Yue walked in, and Zhuge Ming said, "I'm disturbing the princess late at night." ”

Princess Jianing glanced at Zhuge Yue and smiled slightly, and said, "I just wanted to talk to Mr. Zhuge if I didn't want Mr. Zhuge to come, so you all retreat." ”

The maids said yes and left the room and walked back to their bedrooms.

Zhuge Ming's face was embarrassed, he pondered for a moment, and said: "Just now Yue'er told me what happened to you along the way, I deeply admire the princess, and there are some things that I need to explain to the princess face to face." ”

Princess Jianing said in a crisp voice, "I know, otherwise my dinner will not be cold, you must be thinking about how to make some things clear to me, in fact, Mr. Zhuge only needs to explain one thing clearly." ”

Zhuge Ming was stunned for a moment, then got up and paced two steps, and said: "My Zhuge family has been led by the Great Qiangong for more than 100 years, it should be said that it is quite important to the Great Qiangong, every major construction is undertaken by my family, five years ago, under the order of the current Dragon Emperor to build the four deputy palaces, the Zhuge family was popular all over the Jiufang Continent for a while, but at that time, it cost a huge amount of manpower, and suddenly suffered from drought, I really had no choice but to think of a measure that not only completed the instructions of the Great Qiangong, but also saved silver and two to relieve the boxers of the Jianling Continent......"

Princess Jianing took a sip of tea and said, "Mr. Zhuge embezzled the silver taels from the construction of the deputy palace of the Great Qiangong Palace, and used the special dead and alive people of the Underworld Sect, I already know this, I am not talking about this matter." ”

Zhuge Ming turned to look at Princess Jianing, his expression was complicated, and he said with a straight face: "This matter has already caused me trouble, the old man is deeply disturbed, does the princess have anything else to know?" ”

Princess Jianing stared at Zhuge Ming, not allowing him to dodge. She said: "The misappropriation of silver is not a major matter, it can be handled by my father, and I believe that my father can understand Mr. Zhuge a piece of painstaking work, I want to ask the Zhuge family back then there was a three-color god hand Zhuge Jin, where is he now?" ”

Zhuge Ming's face immediately turned red and white, and he thought: What a powerful girl, she obviously wants to know two things, and when I say one, she says no, she knows things and looks generous, and she really can't underestimate her. But he said: "Sancai Shenshou Zhuge Jin is my brother, he can be called elegant, free, and skillful, but unfortunately he suddenly became obsessed, and finally died, to this day, my heart is still painful, why did the princess suddenly ask about my brother?" ”

At this time, Zhuge Yue walked in.

Princess Jianing left her seat and walked to the middle of the hall, with her back to Zhuge Ming, facing Zhuge Yue, looking at him meaningfully, and said: "It's nothing, I met a strange person with Zhuge Gongzi on Bat Island, and all kinds of signs indicate that he is very related to the Zhuge family, I suddenly remembered that there is such a person in the "Records of Alien Records on the Mainland", so I asked. ”

Zhuge Ming's face changed color again, and he said: "The three-color divine hand Zhuge Jin reported to the Great Qiangong when he died, and the Dragon Emperor knows about it today." ”

Princess Jianing was a little surprised, and said, "This kind of thing also has to be reported to my father?" So who is the weirdo on Bat Island? ”

Zhuge Ming hesitated slightly: "Uh, uh, my brother has a high status in the Zhuge family, of course his death must be reported to the Dragon Emperor, at least it must be recorded in the Great Qian Palace, the princess should rest early, it's not too early, I will come to visit the princess tomorrow." ”

Princess Jianing smiled and said, "There is Mr. Lao Zhuge , when I return to the Great Qiangong Palace, I will tell my father the emperor about your kindness to me." She was looking at Zhuge Yue, Zhuge Yue understood what she meant, and the corners of her mouth grinned, meaning helpless.

Zhuge Ming hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's nothing, there's no need to report it, my subordinates will leave!" ”

Zhuge Ming walked out of the door, Princess Jianing pinched Zhuge Yue, Zhuge Yue didn't make a sound, just twitched the corner of his mouth.
