After the Chu Palace was restored and expanded, the entire palace was more than twice as large. Outside the palace of his dormitory there was a garden of flowers, and in the courtyard there was a large number of trees, and the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the luxuriant leaves were now all golden. The trees are planted with red peonies, but unfortunately at this time, there are only bare branches and yellowed leaves.

Xiong Zhang lay down among the yellow leaves. It was a strange thing, made of wood, and it looked like half a wheel underneath. Lie on it and shake it gently.

It's like a small bed. A cot that can be moved anywhere.

Jiang Xu didn't know what it was, but she knew that it was done by the king himself. No one but him could touch it. He often sat on it and shook it gently, looking at the white clouds in the sky, the new shoots on the palace wall, the bird's nest under the eaves, and the Lu orange in the distance.

Half a day has passed since Mo Aoxiong left.

The king sat on it and shook it gently, looking at the big tree for a long time.

What the hell is thinking, Jiang Xu feels that he has never been able to figure it out.

A maid next to her stepped forward with a folded blanket in her hand: "Queen, the blanket has been brought." ”

Jiang Xu turned his head to take the gauze blanket, walked to the big tree under the corridor, shook it off, and covered Xiong Zhang's body.

"It's getting late, and the king beware of catching a cold." She said.

Xiong Zhang withdrew his gaze from the big tree branch and turned his head to look at Jiang Xu. He looked at the gauze he was wearing again.

"You go back and rest first." He said.

"Okay." Jiang Xu nodded and retreated meekly.

retreated to the eaves, but Jiang Xu did not go any further. She stood under the eaves and watched the figure of the king, swaying gently on it. She is not disobedient to the king, but she knows that the king will not notice her at this moment.

After so many years of getting along day and night, she knows very well that the king is now thinking about other people and things.

It's just that after so many years, why do you suddenly remember it?

Jiang Xu was a little puzzled.

The autumn colors stained the earth yellow, and the evening breeze blew, and many yellow leaves fell on the golden trees. Floated on Xiong Zhang's body. He took it off his body, lifted it up again, and watched earnestly through the warm yellow sunset. It seems to be looking at the veins above, and it seems to be looking into the distance through the green leaves.

A bald bulbul flew down from the tree, stood in the peony bush next to it, pecked a few times, and then flapped its wings and flew away a moment later.

A voice came from outside the hall, and a moment later, an attendant led Mo Ao Xiongchao into the palace.

Jiang Xu, the queen of Chu, saluted Mo Ao, and Xiong Chao returned the salute. She bowed her head and stepped out.

The golden autumn in the sunset is always different, Jiang Xu walked on the path in the palace, followed by a group of maids. It's been a long time since she's been on this path.

The king later rebuilt the entire Chu Palace. Only the palace in the southwest has not been touched at all. The palace in the southwest is where the king or the crown prince live.

Nowadays, things and people have long been separated, but this road is still the same as it was back then.

Jiang Xu walked on the road of memory.

Xiong Zhang is also on the road of memory.

"King, after King Wu killed himself in Gusutai, all the concubines of Wu Palace were not slaves, and they signed in Gusu City, and the doctor was responsible for arranging them."

"By the way, except for one woman......"

"According to the reporter, she is an extremely beautiful woman, like a celestial person. For the Yue woman, she was sent by the Yue country to help the Yue destroy Wu's heroes. ”

"But when her husband killed herself, she was also martyred."

After speaking, Xiong Chao let out a long sigh. Sorry and pitiful.

Xiong Zhang was still lying on the rocking chair, looking at the golden leaves on the big tree, thinking of a long, long time ago.

Xiong Chao looked at Xiong Zhang, and there was no slander in his heart. The king is strangely tight today, obviously asked him to inquire about the affairs of the Wu Kingdom, but now he finally inquired, as if the king had never instructed him. I don't do anything with my beak either.

I haven't heard it. If you haven't listened, do you want to say it again?

But once again, it's a pity

Shi Yiguang paused, turned his head to look at Tianwu, and hooked the corners of his lips: "What, are you going to teach me?" ”

Tian Wu ignored Shi Yiguang, just lowered his head and looked at the silver bell that appeared on her ankle at some point.

"Where did this bell come from?" Tianwu stared at the bell, and his eyes were full of surprise.

Seeing this, Shi Yiguang lowered his head and looked at the bell on his feet, then raised his feet and shook it: "This is given to me by my father before." As he spoke, Shi Yiguang stood still on his feet, looking down at the bell on his feet: "I don't know how I followed." ”

Tian Wu had already squatted down, his wrinkled palm caressing Shi Yiguang's ankle, and his palm covered the bell on her ankle. A cool touch came from Shi Yiguang's ankles. Like the last time Tian Wu Lao'er touched her forehead, everything in the mountains became silent and beautiful. It was as if I could hear the whisper of the mountain breeze.

She closed her eyes comfortably and exhaled softly.

"Pangu Chain?!" Tian Wu's eyes widened and he exclaimed incredibly.

Shi Yiguang opened her eyes and looked at the slender white fingers covering her ankles, and she raised her eyebrows. Raised his eyes and looked at Tianwu in front of him.

Tian Wu withdrew his hand in surprise, and the white and slender hand became full of wrinkles by the way, as usual.

Tianwu got up, leaned on crutches, and looked at Shi Yiguang, the expression in his eyes changed.

"Pangea Chain?" Shi Yiguang muttered, and then looked up at Tianwu in front of him: "What's the use of this?" ”

Tian Wu didn't speak, and his gaze fell on Shi Yiguang's ankle again. There was surprise and incredulity in his eyes. Then, he said leisurely: "The gods want to get it, do you say it's useful?" As he spoke, he looked up at Shi Yiguang and added, "So this chain, don't take it out to attract people's eyes if it's okay." ”

"They don't know what it looks like, anyway." As he spoke, Shi Yiguang looked up at Tian Wu in front of him, raised his feet, and shook it in front of Tian Wu: "Do you want this chain?" ”

Tianwu looked at Shi Yiguang, lowered his head, and nodded at Shi Yiguang's ankle with the crutch in his hand. The string of silver bells on Shi Yiguang's feet became an ordinary string of copper coins. Hanging on her feet.

Shi Yiguang lowered his head, looked at the copper coin hanging on his feet, and pouted: "It's so ugly." As she spoke, she looked up at Tianwu again: "I'll give you this bell, can you teach me spells?" ”

As she spoke, she leaned down to untie the bell. said that the gods want it, and it is useless for mortals to hold it.

Tianwu looked at Shi Yiguang's movements and glanced at her: "This bell is a mortal who carries a soul lock, if you unlock it, your soul flies, don't blame me." ”

Shi Yiguang was untying the copper coin ring, looked at Tianwu, and exclaimed, "What is it?" ”

Tianwu raised his crutches and slapped Shi Yiguang's hand that was still on the bell: "Your soul is not from this world, probably because you were saved by this bell when you fell into the water." Now it's guarding you, locking your soul in this body. So remember, this chain must not be untied, or your soul will be scattered. ”
