Chapter 274: Eloquent

"Okay, okay." Gu Tingcheng nodded.

"I have heard that the lord of Anping County is sharp and can tell stories." Tuoba Han said in a strange manner: "Today's theme is the flow of water, and the poems should fit the theme. ”

Tuobahan's tone wasn't very friendly, but the idea was good.

Tuoba Tao bowed slightly.

"Fit the situation?" Gu Tingcheng muttered, "This is the right situation, the most famous is the story of the book saint Wang Xizhi, which everyone is familiar with, and there is nothing to say." ”

"It's okay to do it." Tuoba Tao smiled.

"What should I do?" Gu Tingcheng got up and glanced at everyone, and said with a smile, "Is it okay to have all the objects here?" ”

"As long as you can see it here, you can do it." Tuoba Tao smiled.

Gu Qingcheng thought about it, then walked up to Tuoba Jun, stretched out his hand and asked him to take the sword: "His Royal Highness King Gaoyang, can I borrow your sword?" ”

Tuoba Jun smiled and handed the sword to her.

"Okay, let's tell you the story of this sword." Gu Qingcheng held his sword path.

Tuoba Han couldn't help frowning: although this little beauty is hateful, she can still tell stories by picking up something?

So, everyone listened to her quietly again:

"In the Qin Dynasty, there was such a stinky boy who was unproductive and full of problems.

He was lazy and never did the farm work at home.

He was a good drinker, and he was often drunk into a puddle of mud.

He is lustful, and he can't open his legs when he sees a beautiful girl.

He was rude, and he was very arrogant to both the officials and the people.

The most infuriating thing is that he is a good liar and a brag.

He often had people look at the seventy-two black moles on his legs, not saying that it was a skin disease, but that it was a celestial diagram.

He often looked at Xianyang from afar, shook his head and sighed: 'Huh, the husband should be like this!' ’

His lies are getting more and more outrageous.

Out of nowhere, he got a rusty iron rod and told the villagers that it was a sword from the immortals of Nanshan, and his name was Chixiao.

He regarded it as a supreme treasure and kept his 'sword' with him all day long.

He also said that he was not a human being, but a red dragon in the sky.

His bull is blowing bigger and bigger.

He said that he had known the First Emperor for a long time and said that the First Emperor was a white dragon.

He also said that the First Emperor was inferior to him, because he was a red dragon with higher mana, and he would replace him as an emperor in the future.

He also said that he knew that the First Emperor's vitality had turned into a white snake and had been cruising around Feng Xize for some time.

He said that he was going to cut off the white snake, and as he spoke, he gestured with the iron rod he had picked up.

People took his words as jokes, big words, and no one believed them.

However, on a dark and windy night, everything changed! ”

Gu Qingcheng's last tone was heavy and mysterious.

Everyone waited eagerly......

After a pause, she continued:

That night, dozens of descendants from the township who went to work in Pei County went to Fengxize, and this stinky boy was among them.

But instead of going to work, the boy went to join in the fun, pulling out a flask and drinking as he walked.

The gang stopped when they reached Funsizawa.

Strange to say, people who have recently gone to work in Pei County often disappear near Fengxize for no apparent reason.

So for the sake of insurance, everyone sent a young man with quick skills to go a few steps forward to investigate.

After a while, the spy fled back in fright, saying that he had walked for a while and smelled a faint smell of fish ahead, so he climbed up a big tree and looked, and saw a huge and vicious white snake standing in the middle of the road, as if waiting for something.

The crowd was so shocked that they no longer dared to move forward.

At this moment, the stinky boy separated from the others and walked forward, saying that the white snake was waiting for him, and that he was going to cut it, and as he spoke, he drew out his iron rod and staggered in his footsteps.

It seems that he drank all the way and is drunk by now!

People held their breath, looked at his crooked back, and said in their hearts: 'This muddy boy, look at his cowhide blowing, I'm afraid he will lose his life this time......

The night passed, and the stinky boy did not come back, and people thought that he must have become a good meal for the great white snake.

The clouds cleared, and everyone continued to move forward.

After walking for a few miles, they suddenly saw a huge white snake cut in two and thrown on the side of the road.

Looking to the side, I saw that the stinky boy was sleeping on the side of the road, and there was a cloud above him, and a red dragon was flying lazily around in the cloud.

And the iron rod in the stinky boy's hand is gone, replaced by a sword decorated with colorful beads and Jiuhua jade, the cold light is pressing, and the blade is like frost and snow, and the sword body is clearly engraved with two words: Chixiao!

At this moment, people believe that what this stinky boy said was true.

That stinky boy, I believe everyone knows who he is, right?

He is Liu Bang, and this sword is the Chixiao Sword that slashed the snake uprising.

Chixiao, thus becoming a sword of the emperor. ”

After Gu Qingcheng finished the story, he raised the sword in his hand.

The story of Gu Chengcheng is melodious, emotional, colorful, and eloquent.

Tuoba Ling had already jumped up and hugged Gu Tingcheng tightly, and said excitedly: "Allure, the story you told is so eloquent, I really regret it, why didn't I go to Wanshou Palace to listen to your story!" ”

Everyone applauded, and Fei Hong came over to take the sword back to His Royal Highness King Gaoyang.

Gu Qingcheng tacitly glanced at Feihong.

Fei Hong handed the sword back to King Gaoyang, and then turned to the flying geese who controlled the flow of water at the source.

"Lord Anping, you said that Jun'er's sword is the sword of the emperor. However, what do you mean, Jun'er is the emperor of the destiny? Are you deliberately helping Jun'er buy people's hearts and spread the emperor's words, or do you not take Your Majesty seriously at all?! ”

And when the crowd looked over, it was Tuoba Han who stood up and spoke.

"His Royal Highness the King of Dongping, have you misinterpreted the meaning of the city?" Gu Tingcheng smiled indifferently at Tuoba Han: "I just told the story of the Chixiao Sword for the sake of things, but the King of Dongping said such a rebellious thing, and the Allure City Committee really can't afford it." ”

"Lord Anping, this king sees that you borrowed Liu Bang's imperial sword, but in fact, it is demagogic, and it is clearly spreading that Tuoba is the emperor to whom the destiny of heaven belongs!" Tuoba Han was aggressive.

"Uncle Sanhuang, are you a crime you want to add?" Tuoba stood up early and looked at Tuoba Han coldly.

"Jun'er, Gu Qingcheng, the two of you, Lang and concubine, are really of the same heart!" Tuoba Han thought of Tuoba Han beating him badly, so he hated to fight him in one place, "but he played the Eighth Emperor Brother like a fool!" ”

Tuoba Han's words, Tuoba Yu sounded like he was slapped in public.

If Allure really had a personal affair with Jun'er, he could attack Jun'er with Tuoba Han.

But in this case, it will hurt Allure.

"Brother Sanhuang, in front of the public, don't you think it's unseemly for you to say these words to sow discord?" Tuoba Yu said coldly, "You don't treat the Eighth Emperor Brother as a chess piece, let alone the Father Emperor doesn't exist!" ”

Tuoba Han looked at Tuoba Yu with an unbelievable expression: This Eighth Emperor Brother, in order to maintain that Gu Allure City, really let them treat themselves as fools!

In fact, Tuoba Han's words are really not a taste in Tuoba Tao's heart:

Jun'er has been looking for Allure for more than ten years, and she doesn't want any princess for her.

And Allure, is it really for the sake of Jun'er that he divorced Yu'er and refused to be with him?

But to say that Allure is helping Jun'er spread what kind of emperor is nonsense.

"That's it! Han'er, Allure is telling a good story, but you say these words to sow discord, you are really afraid that the world will not be chaotic! Tuoba Tao drank coldly, "Good Qushui Liuyu feast, what kind of moth do you want to make!" ”

Tuoba Jun's heart trembled: Father still dotes on Gu Qingcheng and Tuoba Jun!

The wise eyes of the old ancestor also looked at Tuoba Han, and said slowly: "Han'er, the king of Dongping, is too carefree, and he thinks that the mourning family has lived too long, and if you don't find something to block the mourning family for a day, and don't be angry with the mourning family, you won't be comfortable, right?" ”

The old ancestor's tone was indifferent, but he was not angry and mighty.

Besides, every bone in her words can pierce Tuoba Han to death.

How can he afford to be charged with killing his ancestors!

Tuoba Han hurriedly bowed down and said, "It's Han'er who lost his words." ”

At this time, Helian was afraid that His Majesty and the old ancestor would hold on to King Dongping again, so he hurriedly started a round: "This is drinking and writing poems, happy, everyone drinks ......"

At this time, the wine buds in Qushui stopped beside the Fourteenth Prince Tuoba Hu'er.

The palace maid who was waiting for him scooped up the wine and handed it to him, and said to Tuoba Hu'er with a smile:

"Your Highness Fourteen, this time it's time for you to write poems, what poems can you think of?"

Everyone looked at Tuoba Hu'er to see what he would do.

Tuoba Tao looked at Tuoba Hu'er who was dazed, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Hu'er, a four or five-year-old child, where can he write poems?" You think he has Cao Zhi's talent! ”

Tuoba Hu'er looked at the eyes of people looking at him, bit his little lip, but took the wine in the hand of the palace maid, and walked to Tuoba Han not far away.

Handing the wine to Tuoba Han, he said in a milky voice:

"Father, please help Hu'er write poems."

The fourteenth prince Tuoba Hu'er actually called the third emperor brother Tuoba Han his father?!

Everyone in the Imperial Garden almost stopped breathing!

Tuoba Hu'er's father is undoubtedly like a drought thunder, exploding in the imperial garden!

Tuobatao's face was covered with frost, and he was stunned for a moment.

Tuoba Han was stunned and panicked.

Empress Helian was so frightened that she almost fainted.

Helian Chongrong was even more frightened, his face turned pale, his legs trembled, and he fell to the ground!

She glanced at Tuoba Tao in a panic, quickly got up and stumbled to Tuoba Hu'er'er.

ran in a hurry, stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately, the palace maid she served was quick and held her up.

Helian trembled and helped his son, and asked anxiously:

"Hu'er, you kid, who taught you to talk nonsense!"

"Mother, Hu'er can't write poems, you can ask your father to help me." Tuoba Hu'er was innocent again, and looked up at Tuoba Han again.

Helian's trembling legs and feet could no longer support him, and he collapsed to the ground in fright.

The whole body trembled like a dead chicken, and asked in a trembling voice: "Hu'er, tell the mother concubine quickly, who is so vicious and actually teaches you these nonsense!" ”

"Hu'er didn't say nonsense!" Tuoba Hu'er shook Tuoba Han's big sleeve again, "Father, help me write poems, and Hu'er can go to play with butterflies." ”

The fairy tale is unscrupulous, and the most true!

Helian was even more frightened and almost fainted!

I can't wait to cover Tuoba Hu'er's mouth.

“…… Hu'er, you, you, what nonsense are you talking about?! Tuoba Han scolded worriedly, and pushed Tuobahan to the devil.

Tuoba Hu'er fell to the ground, but cried out: "Father, I want to play with butterflies......"

The corners of Tuoba Jun's mouth were slightly upturned, and with the eyes of watching a play, he looked at Gu Qingcheng, who was calm and relaxed.

Tuoba Yu chewed on the tiger's words - playing with butterflies?

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he looked at Gu Qingcheng almost transparently.

Tuoba Tao suppressed Taishan's anger: "Okay! Since it's nonsense, you don't have to ask! I think it was Hu'er who accidentally drank alcohol and said drunken words! ”

At this time, there are the crown princesses of Liu Song and the princesses of Khotan, and all the suspicions cannot be revealed, otherwise he will lose face as an emperor, and Dawei will become a joke in the world!

If you can only be a child, you are drunk!

Helian hurriedly picked up Tuoba Hu'er and covered his mouth tightly.

Everyone had different thoughts, and they were all speculating in their hearts.

After a pause, the emperor tried his best to calm down, and calmly changed the topic to the painter: "This song is very novel. Painters, can you paint all the scenes today? ”

The painter at the head bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, everything has already been painted." ”

Tuoba Tao seemed to be light, and brought the embarrassment just now.

Liu Ziye looked at Tuoba Tao with concentrated eyes: Emperor Wei is really determined, he let his son cuckold himself, and he pretended to be calm and calm!

Zong Ai glanced at it carefully, bowed his head slightly, and then raised his orchid fingers, hung his voice, and replied to His Majesty with a smile:

"Your Majesty, whether it is the characters and scenes, they are all painted vividly and vividly. Even the birds and beasts on the beams that hold the wine, and the carvings on the jade sticks of the wine, are very delicately painted. ”

This meandering water is sprinkled with water, there are ten zhang, ten painters and a group of palace maids will present the painting scroll in front of the emperor and everyone.

Everyone was amazed!

"Well, that's good!" Tuoba Tao nodded and said, "Hanlin waits, record today's Qushui Liuzhen, the princess and the good poems on the banquet one by one, and pass it on as a good story!" ”

"No, Your Majesty." Hanlin waited for him to bow down and arched his hand, "Weichen has already written it down." ”

"Okay." Tuoba Tao bowed his head again, and said again, "Everyone is almost drunk today, and the ancestors are also lacking, so everyone will disperse." ”

"No......"

Except for the old ancestor, almost everyone stood up and bowed to Tuoba Tao.

Qu Shui Liuzhen, and that's the end.

Even though Tuoba Tao behaved naturally and calmly, he suppressed the monstrous anger, which was obvious to the discerning person.

After the end of the Qushui Liuzhen, Tuoba Jun found an opportunity to go to Yuxiu Palace to meet Gu Qingcheng and ask her what was going on with Hu'er.

"You asked me to paint the portrait of the Third Emperor Uncle, just for the nonsense of today's Fourteenth Emperor Uncle?" Tuoba Road.

Gu Qingcheng smiled and nodded.

"But how could the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle be obedient?" Tuoba was puzzled.

Gu Tingcheng told him what happened.

She had suspected that Tuoba Han and Helian had an ambiguous relationship, and she had noticed that Tuoba Hu'er was very fond of fluttering butterflies.

Before the banquet, she asked the butterflies to lead Tuoba Hu'er to a remote rockery, dozens of butterflies carried Tuoba Han's portrait to Tuoba Hu'er's face, Gu Qingcheng hid behind the rockery to speak, and asked Tuoba Hu'er to call the person with the portrait his father in the future.

And said that wait a while, the water flows, the wine stop in front of him and he will write a poem, Tuoba Hu'er will definitely not be able to give a poem, as long as Tuoba Hu'er said to the person who painted the portrait: "Father, help Hu'er write poems." "That way, the butterflies will play with him in the future.

Gu Tingcheng is a well-trained butterfly, and she talks behind the rockery, just like those butterflies talk.

Afterwards, Gu Qingcheng of course asked her butterfly to temporarily leave the palace and return to Yixintang first.

Tuoba Hu'er's child believed it, so according to the butterfly's words, the wine came to him, and went to Tuoba Han to ask him to help write poems.

"Do you think Grandpa Huang will believe it?" Tuoba Jun said, "He wouldn't suspect that someone instigated the Fourteenth Emperor Uncle?" ”

"It doesn't matter whether Your Majesty believes it or not, I just want Your Majesty to have a thorn in your Majesty's heart for Tuoba Han and Helian." Gu Qingcheng said, "Tuoba Han is so tyrannical and unkind, I must let him be punished as he deserves." ”

After a pause, he said guiltily: "It's just that although Helian Chongrong and King Dongping have an ambiguous relationship, then Tuoba Hu'er may not really be their son, and there is no evidence, I really can't stand the fourteen princes." ”

Empress Helian and Helian filled the banquet, and returned to Yikun Palace with trepidation, and after a while, Tuoba Han also followed.

Empress Helian sat in the center, retreating from the palace, and looked at them coldly.

"What the hell is going on?!" Empress Helian shouted at Tuoba Han and Helian in a loud voice.

In fact, her sister and her adopted son Tuoba Han occasionally frowned, she knew it, but she didn't expect that there would be a deeper relationship.

"Queen Mother, this must be someone who wants to harm this king and fill the mother!" Tuoba Han was furious.

"Yes, Sister Queen, someone must have instigated Hu'er to say this, this person has evil intentions!" Helian cried with grief and indignation.

The queen was furious:

"You two don't think that you are innocent, you think you can hide it from this palace.

Although this palace does not dare to say that everything in the harem is clear, there are some things that cannot escape the eyes of this palace!

If you provoke something, although your head is different, you will be implicated even with this palace! ”

"Sister Queen, my sister and King Dongping are really wronged!" Helian cried again and said, "Hu'er is young, and he has no intention of saying anything, and he will talk nonsense when others teach him anything!" ”

"Who the hell is so vicious and cruel to teach a child to say these things in front of everyone, even if the father doesn't believe it, there must be a thorn in his heart!" Tuoba Han gritted his teeth.

After a pause, the queen mother asked Tuoba Hu'er to come in, Helian Chongrong took it and hugged it, and the queen mother waved her hand and ordered the palace people to retreat.

"Hu'er, tell your mother, who taught you to call the third emperor brother your father just now?" Helian asked nervously.

Tuoba Hu'er smiled cutely: "Butterfly." ”

"Butterflies? ……”

Several adults looked at each other, how could Butterfly teach children to say this.

Tuoba Han took Tuoba Hu'er again and coaxed him softly:

"Hu'er is the most well-behaved, and the third emperor brother loves Hu'er the most. Tell the Third Emperor Brother, who taught you what you just said, and the Third Emperor Brother took you to flutter butterflies. ”

"It's really Butterfly who taught Hu'er to say it, Father." Tuoba Hu'er recalled the scene at that time, and exaggerated opened his hand and said, "There are so many beautiful butterflies, it is Butterfly who teaches Hu'er, and wants Hu'er to go to his father and help Hu'er write poems, and Butterfly will play with Hu'er." ”

Helian was full of energy when he heard Tuoba Hu'er say it vividly, and he really thought that there was a butterfly manifestation and shook them out.

Frightened, he fell to the ground again.

He muttered, "Could it really be a butterfly apparition?" ”

"What a butterfly apparition!" The queen mother whispered, "Look at you like this, if Your Majesty wants to try you, you don't need to be tortured, you will appear immediately!" ”

The queen mother looked at her sister's panicked look, and her heart was bright.

"What a butterfly apparition! There are no butterflies in this world! Tuoba Han also shouted to Helian Rongrong, "Chongrong Niangniang, look at your cowardice, don't hurt this king!" ”

Helian was able to calm down.

"What do you say about butterfly apparitions, this palace doesn't believe it." The queen mother said calmly, "I'm afraid that there is someone who can drive those butterflies?" ”

"It must be someone from the palace!" Helian shouted again.

"These rumors have never happened, but since there is that Gu Qingcheng in the palace, it seems that everything is possible!" Empress Helian muttered.

"That's right! It's her, it must be her, Gu Qingcheng! Tuoba Han suddenly woke up and jumped to his feet in anger, "At the birthday banquet of the old ancestor, she can not only drive butterflies, but even cranes and birds, and obediently hundreds of birds to the phoenix. It's definitely her! It's definitely her!! ”

He was engulfed in great anger again and slammed his fist on the table: "This demon girl! Look at this king and don't pick your skin! ”

The more the queen mother and Helian Chongrong thought about it, the more they felt that it was Gu Tingcheng's doing, and they all wanted to crush that Gu Tingcheng.

"But now that he instigates the prince and frames us, but there is no evidence, how can he cure her crimes?" Helian gritted his teeth.

Empress Helian glanced at them and said, "That's it, if Your Majesty doesn't pursue this matter, it will be the best." Do you still want to make a fuss and get into trouble? ”

"Are we just like that, led by the nose by that slut?" Helian cried unwillingly.

"If you yourself don't have the handle to be caught by others, how can others lead you by the nose!" The queen reprimanded.

"Forget it, this matter will be a dumb loss for us. One day, the king will take it all back! Tuoba Han gritted his teeth.

He thought that if his father and Tuoba Yu Tuoba reached an impasse, he would be able to get into trouble.

When the time comes, the world is in hand, who will he be afraid of?

After the banquet, the emperor returned to the Heart Cultivation Hall with a monstrous rage and swept everything off the dragon case.

Zong Ai was so frightened that he was also frightened.

originally wanted to persuade the emperor a few words, but he didn't dare to speak casually about the sensitive topic of being cuckolded by his son, for fear of provoking a scolding.

The emperor is not jealous because he loves Helian Chongrong, but if Hu'er is really the son of Tuoba Han and Helian Chongrong, he will be greatly slapped in the face of the emperor.

They are so bold and reckless, don't they take his emperor in their eyes?!

Tuoba Tao didn't say a word, but vented himself for a while, calmed down, and his face was cloudy.

The old ancestor left the Qushui Liuzhen banquet and returned to the Wanshou Palace and lay down to rest.

Today, she is really tired.

When the ancestor woke up, the sky was dark, the palace lights were lit, and Mama Rong seemed to be listening to someone outside.

She lay on the bed with her eyes stared, thinking about the old things from decades ago.

After a while, Mama Rong walked in and helped the old ancestor up: "Old ancestor, are you awake?" ”

"Ah Rong, how did that matter go? Still no news? The old ancestor leaned on the head of the bed and asked with some disappointment.

"Ancestor, the slave maid is trying to report to you." Mama Rong said softly.

The old ancestor looked at Mama Rong's face scrutinically, and when she saw that Mama Rong was not happy, she knew that there was no good news.

Mama Rong's 1510 report slowly:

"The clues that can be checked have been checked, Wang Xiaolian, the grandfather of the county lord of Anping, married his wife, and after making a fortune with the help of his wife's dowry, he once returned to his hometown to fund the villagers, and everyone praised Wang Xiaolian endlessly.

As for his wife, he only knows that she is as beautiful as a flower, but unfortunately no one knows his wife's surname and origin.

I only know that his wife gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, and later in the war, her twin daughters were separated, and his wife became ill and couldn't afford to get sick, and died soon after.

And Wang Xiaolian's family, even close relatives, almost died more than ten years ago. ”

“…… Wang Xiaolian's wife has no surname, her origin is unknown, and she also gave birth to a pair of twin daughters, and the daughters are separated? The old ancestor groaned.

After a pause, she said with joy on her face:

"This is even more suspicious, where can ordinary people have no origin, unless they deliberately conceal their surname." The ancestor wiped his tears, "Only the poor Rou'er of the mourning family is forced to remain incognito." ”

"It's really suspicious, Wang Xiaolian brought his wife back to his hometown, so he won't hide the origin of his wife's surname from the villagers, right?" Mama Rong also nodded in agreement.

After a pause, Mama Rong said again:

"They found Wang Xiaolian's hometown in Taiyuan, where most of the people from decades ago died because of the war, moved and fled.

Nowadays, although the people of Wangjiatun praise Wang Xiaolian's character, they don't know the details of Mrs. Wang Xiaolian.

I can only check those who moved away to see if there are any old people among them, who had a close relationship with Wang Xiaolian back then, and may know the origin of Mrs. Wang. ”

"No matter what, those villagers who moved away decades ago will always be familiar with Wang Xiaolian. Just know his wife's last name. The old ancestor said, "At all costs, continue to search." ”

"No, Ancestor." Mama Rong said respectfully.
