Chapter 19: The Garden Meeting
Time passed bit by bit, and the green dragon fell into the Ten Thousand Snake Cave, and the snake slowly approached the green dragon and climbed up the head, body, and feet of the green dragon. After a while, Qinglong's whole body was covered with snakes, and it made people's hearts furious to look at. At this time, the door of the Ten Thousand Snakes Cave was opened, the light came in, and the cave keeper blew the jade flute in his hand, and the Ten Thousand Snakes left the body of the green dragon as if they heard the command, and they all hid back in their caves.
"Take him out and take him down for treatment." The person who spoke was none other than the masked man, the Pavilion Master of the Xuanling Pavilion.
"Yes! Pavilion Master. The cave keeper carried the green dragon out, and the green dragon was covered in blood and unconscious. After all, Qinglong is also loyal to themselves and has always been their right-hand man. It's just one or two misses, in fact, he doesn't agree to punish his subordinates in such a cruel way, but the rules have to be followed. For the sake of the faces of the White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu pleading, the masked man made a favor. One is to fulfill oneself, and the other is to buy people's hearts. When the white tiger saw the green dragon being carried out, his heart was surging with pain, and he said silently in his heart: I am willing to live ten years in exchange for you to spend it safely...
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, three months have arrived unconsciously, and Zhang Yunli's grounding order has also been lifted. The tranquility of the house will also be broken. Teach Mama to complete the task and leave the Prime Minister's Mansion. Without teaching Mama to point fingers, Zhang Yunli punished her subordinates to be "handy", and as soon as she came, she offended her by being grounded for three months, and she couldn't see that everyone was beaten again. When the old lady heard this, she called her son unteachable! reprimanded Aunt Liu. Since Zhang Yunli treated her subordinates harshly, and Yuwei gave her grace and power, the people in the mansion have all turned to Yuwei, and naturally the speed of receiving news in the mansion is faster than that of Aunt Liu.
Yu Wei is now sitting on a pear blossom wooden chair drinking the dragon well before the rain rewarded by the emperor, watching the spring flowers describe the pitiful appearance of Aunt Liu being reprimanded. It's a delight! In fact, Yuwei has a role in fueling the flames in this matter, and the wind secretly investigated and found that the two assassins were the same people, and from the arm tattoos of the killers that I vaguely remembered, it was found that the killers were from Xuanling Pavilion.
If you want to talk about this Xuanling Pavilion, it has a lot of origins. Since the time when she was cultivating her body and mind in the mansion, Yu Wei has been reading the classics to familiarize herself with everything in ancient times as soon as possible. Although this official history does not introduce the origin and development of Xuanling Pavilion in detail. However, the scattered descriptions of the Xuanling Pavilion in the foreign history made Yu Wei realize that this Xuanling Pavilion not only covers a wide range of areas, but also is powerful, powerful enough to shake the foundation of a country.
Yuwei is in a seemingly peaceful world, but in fact there are three kingdoms fighting openly and secretly. The Murong family ruled the largest country in the southeast, Furong is a country with vast land, pleasant climate, abundant talents, rich resources, suitable for planting and breeding, and is a large country with comprehensive strength.
To the northwest is the kingdom of Yaha, ruled by the Saadi tribe. The climate of Yaha is cold and dry, the animal husbandry here is developed, and the people of Yaha are brave and good at fighting, and have a straightforward personality.
In the southwest, there is the Sutan Kingdom, which is ruled by the Alphadi family, and the Sutan Kingdom is rich in mineral and iron resources, and there are many wizards in the Sutan Kingdom, so many weapons are from the Sutan Kingdom. There are also mages who can use ancient magic, which also casts a layer of mystery over the country.
The Xuanling Pavilion is the most powerful and wealthy organization. The Pavilion is dedicated to taking in orphans or abandoned children, providing them with learning opportunities and growing up to serve the organization according to their abilities. Children with business acumen go into business; Talented children take exams and become officials in the court; Children who love martial arts become killers. They are the creators of the funds of the Halling Pavilion and the collectors of intelligence from various countries.
The Xuanling Pavilion has economic and political ties with all countries, and the rulers must be taboo against it. But the Hallshade is not governed by any country, nor does it favor any country. In fact, it has become a four-legged situation, and any decision made by Xuanling Pavilion will affect the fortunes of the three countries.
But according to the rules of the Xuanling Pavilion that Yu Wei learned, anyone can spend a lot of money to make the Xuanling Pavilion kill a person, but this is limited to one assassination, if the mission fails, there will be no second assassination. Unless you have the Xuanling Pavilion's death-free gold medal, you can place a chase and kill order, and chase and kill until you call it a stop. The wind went to investigate, and Aunt Liu's maiden family was just an ordinary Taishi Ling of the fifth grade, how could she hold the treasure of Xuanling Pavilion, which made Yu Wei very puzzled.
"Miss, please eat!" Xia He saw that Yu Wei was holding the classics and was about to read them all day without sleep or food, so she couldn't bear to prepare a table of dishes and remind Yu Wei to eat. Yu Wei couldn't live up to the good dishes on the table of Xia He, put down the book and walked to the dining table and sat down. Seeing that the weather was getting hotter, he didn't forget to tell Xia He to make some words and send them to the old lady. As soon as the weather was hot, the old lady's appetite was not very good.
After the meal, the sun was just right, and Yuwei temporarily went to the courtyard to pick flowers and make flower tea. The garden is full of spring, the flowers are blooming, picking flowers for a while, it is really a narrow road, I saw Zhang Yunli brought a group of people to the garden to enjoy the flowers.
Zhang Yunli saw that Zhang Yuwei was about to leave, so she stopped her: "Sister, where are you going?" We haven't seen each other for a long time, and you don't miss your sister? Now that I see my sister and want to leave, is it because I dislike my sister? ”
Yuwei stopped and smiled: "How can it be, it's just that my sister just finished picking the petals and is going to take them to dry and make flower tea for the old lady. So my sister left first, so I didn't disturb my sister's good interest. After speaking, Yu Wei left without looking back, even if Zhang Yunli knew that what Yu Wei said was prevarication, she was speechless.
"Xia He, you take the petals back to dry first, I want to walk in the yard again." Seeing that the sunshine was so good, Yuwei decided to enjoy the spring sunshine.
As soon as he walked to the side of the rockery, a figure blocked the way. This figure is none other than Murong Mufeng.
"I don't know what the fourth prince commands? If you don't have any instructions, the little one will take the lead. The prince doesn't come in from the main gate openly, he has to sneak into someone else's house, it's not like the prince's inaction! Although it is said that Murong Mufeng saved himself, he is very sad about Yuwei at the palace banquet. It's really a narrow road, and I didn't look at the yellow calendar when I went out today.
"That's how you treat your savior? You still owe this king three demands, and this king naturally wants to make sure that you will not run away. Murong Mufeng's face was confident and domineering, as long as he put on such a posture, a large number of girls in the capital would definitely fall for him.
Unexpectedly, the young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion was indifferent, and said with a flat face: "The fourth prince is pleased, and the little one will retire first, which will not hinder the prince's elegance in appreciating the flowers." ”
Just as he was about to leave, one hand grabbed Yu Wei's wrist, Yu Wei reflexively rotated her wrist 360 degrees clockwise, and instead grabbed his hand and pushed it away with one palm.
"Sure enough, you know martial arts." Murong Mufeng looked at the Zhang Yuwei in front of him and said lightly, I also saw this woman two years ago, but her personality is indeed a soft and weak woman, she will lower her head when she sees herself, she never dares to face herself, and she has no martial arts skills. But the Zhang Yuwei in front of her is an assertive woman, she never twists, she talks back to him many times, and just now she took the opportunity to grab her wrist and touch her hand. Her pulse was actually a little weak, as weak as the pulse of a dying person, looming. But looking at her mental state, she is in a very good state of mind, and she can do a little martial arts. Could it be poisoning?
Just when Murong Mufeng was distracted, Zhang Yuwei seized the opportunity, clenched her fists, and punched Murong Mufeng's face, successfully attracting Murong Mufeng's attention. Murong Mufeng reacted quickly and caught Yu Wei's serial kicks, and just as Yu Wei was about to use her palm split, Murong Mufeng reached out and grabbed Yu Wei, hugged her into her arms, and locked Yu Wei's hands that were about to be squeezed out.
Because of getting closer, Murong Mufeng asked about the faint scent of osmanthus on Yuwei's body, and the fragrance of roses wafting from time to time on her hair. The soft, white little hand was squeezing restlessly, as if trying to leave the control of the big hand. For a moment, Murong Mufeng seemed to feel the uneasiness of the little man in his arms. I really want to bury my head in her shoulder and hug this little man tightly. Say softly, "I'll protect you." But in the end, I couldn't help but say nothing.
The villain in his arms saw that he couldn't get rid of the shackles, so he could only stay quietly with Murong Mufeng. The back was tightly pressed against Murong Mufeng's chest, feeling the trembling and firmness of the chest muscles, the two were so close that Yu Wei could feel Murong Mufeng's accelerated heartbeat, and her face blushed involuntarily.
Murong Mufeng lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "My first request is that no matter who asks you for a while, you have to refuse. ”
"What do you mean?" Yuwei was puzzled.
"You just have to remember it, and you'll know the rest." Murong Mufeng looked like he was waiting to watch the play.
"Miss! Where are you? Hearing Dongxue's voice, Yuwei took advantage of Murong Mufeng's inattention, shook off his hand, and broke free from his arms.
"My maid is coming to me, please retreat from the prince, if my maidservant girl sees the prince, first, the prince's private invasion of the prime minister's mansion will damage the prince's reputation, and secondly, the prime minister's mansion is full of people, lonely men and widows, and it is not conducive to the prince's choice of princess. So please think twice before acting. The little girl retired first. Yu Wei didn't wait for Murong Mufeng's reply, turned around and left.
Only Murong Mufeng was left standing there alone, but when he heard the words of the warning, he was not angry at all, but felt a little interesting.
"Miss, I can be regarded as finding you, I didn't see you when I walked around the garden just now, but I scared the slave to death." Dongxue jumped over when she saw Yuwei from a distance.
"Don't worry, Dongxue, I just saw that the bamboo forest over there was quite beautiful, so I went over to take a look. Isn't that okay for me? Yu Wei secretly glanced at the bamboo forest and made sure that Murong Mufeng had already left, so she was relieved.
"Miss, my lord asked you to take a bath and change your clothes. The eighth prince will come in a while, and the lord will let you dress up and go to the main gate to greet you. ”
Yu Wei walked towards the Lotus Pavilion while figuring out the intention of the Eighth Prince, the Eighth Prince had never been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, which couldn't help but remind Yu Wei of Murong Mufeng's words, what did it matter?
