Chapter 8: Golden Autumn (8)
The boy looked no more than sixteen, and he was only a child by his side, but he was much more stable than he looked.
"I'll talk to the prince about the conditions." The young man said, the eyes that looked at him seemed to have faded the deliberately disguised timidity, "Use the phantom Gu to exchange the power in the hands of the prince." "
He woke up at the end of summer, the day the Phantom Gu was born. It is no accident that he can wake up at that time, this bureau has a plan many years ago, fifteen years ago Qin Yuezhu came back from the battlefield, because of the Su family's affairs with the first emperor quarrel, it was the night palace chaos to report the death knell rang all night, the second day Qin Yuezhu unloaded his armor and mourned for a month, after the mourning period Qin Yuezhu retreated to Yongzhou, Gu Xiao took over the government in Jingzhao, and elected the youngest of the twelve princes as the new emperor, the third year of the new emperor's reign, Qin Yuezhu ordered people to secretly look for a Gu worm called Phantom Gu.
The search has been unsuccessful for 12 years.
"Phantom Gu is rare in a hundred years, how did you get it." When he said this, it was rare to hear his voice unsteady, as if someone had choked his throat, and it felt as if he was exhaling uncomfortably.
The comet was overjoyed, and by looking at his expression, he knew that Qin Yuezhu believed it. He praised the foolish master in his heart a little.
"Lord Wang, don't care how I got it, just I have what you need," Su Comet removed the hand that the man used to pinch his chin, the fox's eyes blinked, and he smiled: "The Phantom Gu Lord is bound to win, and Gu Xiao's villain is also bound to win."
"How do I know that your phantom Gu is real or fake."
Su Comet sneered: "Of course the prince can not believe it, then continue to look for a few decades, don't ask if you can find it or not, just ask the prince if he has this time." With that, the young man stood up, rolled up his sleeves and left, smiling back at the person behind him as he went out.
Qin Yuezhu watched the blue-clothed young man walk away, and couldn't stop laughing, and Yin Qilei, who was laughing, thought he was stunned, and stepped through the door to stop him.
The man in the room was leaning against the bed, his slender fingers brushing a scar on his eyebrows, smiling but not speaking.
Seeing this, Yin Qilei looked out of the house behind him, and saw that a blue figure at the rockery was slowly moving forward, so he asked, "Has the prince talked to the prince?"
Qin Yuezhu put his fingers down, pursed his lips and chuckled, recalling what the young man said about Gu Xiao, and he sighed again in his heart.
The comet went around the rockery, thinking that no one should have seen him, so he lifted the robe that was mopping the floor and spread his legs and ran, which was really scared to death.
I have to admire my strength in talking nonsense.
Where did he have any phantom Gu, it was all from the hearsay of his master Jing Nanyang, he knew that the phantom Gu was precious, and he happened to know that Qin Yue's people had been searching for several years without success, guessing that he must need it, in order to avenge him, he made it up temporarily. Otherwise, Qin Yuezhu would easily let him go.
At night, Yongzhou City is another side of the scenery, the lanterns are on, a red light is hung on the canopy boat, the lantern is written with the name of a certain girl, if you answer the pair, you can get on the boat and listen to the piano, the most famous Wuyi Lane in Yongzhou City will stretch the long night, until the third watch will not be in the Wuyi Lane will not go out the lights.
Red lanterns cover the entire street, and the wind has the sound of brass bells colliding.
A small black shadow jumped out of the alley, and with a meow, a black shadow jumped over the alley, and it was directed towards the painting building not far away, which was much higher and flat.
Shu Jiu staggered towards the entrance of the alley with a bunch of bits and pieces in his hands, and saw his master squatting on the ground, looking up at something, and a well-behaved black cat was rubbing against his feet.
Su Jiu leaned over to call him, looked up at the night again, and felt that it was too late and wanted to urge him to go back.
Su Comet stood up, and Su Jiu's voice came: "Childe, Lord Yin said that the travel token should be taken back and handed over to him at the right time, look at this night, we should also go back." Since his son came back from King Yong's place that day, King Yong has rewarded many things in the garden for some reason, and promised many privileges, Su Jiu secretly thought that his master had won the favor of King Yong, but he didn't see Jinhua Hall to summon his son to sleep for a few days, but they were allowed to go out of the house, since they entered the palace, they went out of the house with the son of the house for a very small number of days, today is the first time to be able to come out for so long, so he took the comet to play wild, but seeing that it was late, Shu Jiu felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"Do you see that?" Looking up for a long time, he thought of the comet.
"See what?" Su Jiu was a little anxious, "Childe, go home quickly." ”
After that, Su Jiu pulled a corner of his sleeve and left, and the black cat at his feet followed him from some point to time, as if he liked him, and he just didn't move at his feet.
Su Jiu wanted to dial the black cat, but the little guy bared his teeth at him, as if he was very hostile, and was touched twice by Su Comet and obediently came down.
Su Jiu smiled puzzledly and said, "I'm afraid this little guy is relying on the son."
Su Comet said, "Take him back."
They walked through the streets, and there were vendors on the streets shouting for their things, and Su Jiu would occasionally pull him to take a look, but Su Comet didn't have much thought, and looked back at the painting building from time to time, only then did someone say that the place was called "Late Autumn Days".
If his eyes were not flowered, the figure he saw passing by the alley just now was wearing a moon-white mask on his face, and there was no other expression on the mask, not like other masks with a smiling or crying face, it was a mask with an expressionless face, like a rakshasa ghost.
He had seen that mask, and that day in the back alley of King Yong's mansion, he personally hid that person.
"Childe, Childe." Shu Jiu was calling out to him, "Let's go back." ”
Sushi nodded his head, "Hmm."
In the deepest part of the late autumn section of Wuyi Lane, there was a commotion until an hour, and the guards in the courtyard lit torches, illuminating the whole courtyard very brightly, and two women in red shirts carried two white lanterns made of silk to block the wind on the corridor on the second floor, and one by one smashed open the elegant room with the closed door of the red door, and every time they smashed a door, they had to make a sound.
"I searched the second floor, but I didn't find the Assassin." A girl in red leaned at the woman's feet, and the woman was her obedient person.
The woman was wearing a garnet-red skirt, with soft black ink-like hair, as if she had just bathed and changed, and her black hair was not coiled up and only tied with a white hosta, and she was not found, she was not angry, and asked a little impatiently: "My lord is injured."
"I'm fine." Without waiting for the woman kneeling at the bottom to answer, the man walked over from the corridor on the side, his face extremely ugly, "Or are you happy because you want me to have something." ”
Downstairs noisy smashing pots and bowls, listening to a headache, she pressed her forehead, only felt that these voices were like magic sounds, and she didn't want to entangle with men, and said: "Since my brother is fine, the second sister will go back."
"Wait." Gu Xiao stopped the person who was about to turn around, walked over and dragged her away from the door, and shouted, "Search for me."
Gu Xi yelled: "What are you doing with Gu Xiao."
"I've searched all the second floors, but it's not really." Gu Xiao sneered, that smile was like a snake spitting out a letter, "I haven't checked this one." ”
"Gu Xiao, you have to pay for what you have done." Gu Xi gritted his teeth, and couldn't wait to pick this person's skin now.
"Oh, the price?" Gu Xiao suddenly burst out laughing, "My good second sister, do you know what the consequences will be if you make me pay?" You don't always know the consequences. Gu Xi understands that nothing is a price for the person in front of him, this person is a person who is more indifferent than a snake and scorpion.
"How could Comet be ...... because of someone like you" Before Gu Xi's words fell, she received a heavy slap on her face, and then the man pinched her neck with one hand.
The two maids shouted, their faces frightened, but they did not dare to step forward.
After a while, several attendants came out of the house and said, "I have searched the house, but I haven't found it."
Gu Xiao was a little surprised, frowned, raised his eyes to look at the woman who was pressed by his neck to the window leaking in the corridor, and laughed: "Second sister, don't let me find the handle." With that, he let go.
The moment Gu Xi let go, he slid down the wall, his legs were paralyzed, and he couldn't help but tremble.
After a long while, the two red-clothed maids dared to come forward, one supported her, and the other asked, "Pavilion Master, are you okay?"
Gu Xi smiled bitterly three times, the body is good, but this heart.
"I'll do it myself." After that, she stood up and pushed the two maids into the house, the house had been turned into a mess, she guessed right, Gu Xiao didn't come to find someone, he came to find something.
But this man happened to be here.
"Come out." Gu Xi shouted at the empty room.
I heard someone falling from the beam behind me, and the trampling sound was so light that it was almost inaudible.
"Your Excellency's skills will not be lost to anyone who listens to them, why don't you take your things and leave." Gu Xi smiled, his eyes glancing behind him, but he didn't turn around, "Or I said that I didn't find anything." ”
Behind him, there was the sound of the long sword retracting its scabbard, and one of the tense nerves loosened a little when he heard the sound.
The man said: "I won't come back next time if I don't find anything, but Gu Chengxiang really looks at it and doesn't owe a beating, and I don't feel comfortable if I don't punch him twice." The voice of the voice covered the mask and sounded buzzing, and it was also a rare time when it was dry and dry, which made him uncomfortable.
The candle flame in the house is no worse than the one outside the house, and the flickering fire outside the window is getting farther away, Gu Xi smiled: "Why do you bother."
"Hey." Shu Jiu put down the things in his arms on the low table, it was dark at night, as if it was going to rain, Shu Shi deliberately lit a few more lights, and was about to put down the fire box when he heard the voice of Shu Jiu behind him, and smiled at the door: "Childe is back."
Su Jiu turned around and called his master: "Son, what are you doing slowly?"
Su Comet stood on the platform in front of the house, held on to the pillar and looked in the direction of Jinhua Palace, wanting to see if there was any light, Su Jiu ran over and pressed down his raised body and said, "Childe, come and see, what I bought for you, I've been shopping since the afternoon, you haven't taken a good look, there are all kinds of things on this street, it's fun." ”
Shu Shi said: "You are spending money again, don't ask me to borrow it when the time is gone, I won't borrow it."
After a while, the two children were in a commotion, and the comet looked at them a few times, and then looked thoughtfully out of the house, and the black cat came in timidly with the door frame, rubbing at his feet.
When Su Shi saw it, he immediately pounced, and happily touched the black cat's head, and the joyful appearance was like picking up five taels of silver for nothing: "Where did this little guy come from?"
"Alas, the boy touched him in Wuyi Lane, and he came back with him." Su Jiu bit a duck's neck in his mouth and said, his voice was a little vague but he could hear it clearly.
Su Shi picked up his sleeves and smashed him: "Okay, you, you are bold, dare to take your son to Wuyi Lane." I played for a while and used my feet.
Seeing this, Su Comet smiled, and then began to ponder, thought about it and asked, "The prince is in the mansion."
Shu Shiyi pulled Su Jiu's hair with his hands, and when he heard this, he turned his head and looked at him in a daze, nodded and said, "I haven't heard that the prince is out of the mansion, so it's probably the lady or son of the courtyard."
