Chapter 192: The Old Man
"I still don't have that kind of thought, you, you've already entered the palace anyway. Suffer your sins well. Zhao Changle grinned. Just laughing at Jiang Xinyu.
Jiang Xinyu actually wanted to say that this matter was related to her life, and Zhao Changle also knew about it, but he never mentioned it.
"Well, although we don't know what to do now, we can't just talk about it now, the main thing is to go to the homeless people to see what kind of attitude these people have. Judging the attitude and purpose of the forces behind these people, we can't do anything now, even if we are worried, but I have sent someone to monitor that group of people, and I hope to get something. Zhao Changle didn't care as much as he did on his face, and she was also very concerned about this friend's life. In fact, she has already communicated with her father, no matter what the result is, her family wants to protect Jiang Xinyu. It's a big deal to use up a protective order card given to them by the emperor.
Although General Zhao didn't say anything, he didn't directly deny it.
Jiang Xinyu didn't expect her friend to think so much. But she also knows that although she has hole cards, she is really useless against this matter. I have to rely on my friend.
"It's on paper, but that's all it can be now." Jiang Xinyu was helpless, but the two of them were also stumped here.
"There's no need to talk about that anymore. Tianxue, I heard that your Fragrance Hall has a special imperial chef to cook food, and you said that I don't have the pleasure to taste it. ”
Jiang Xinyu was naturally helpless, "Okay, you just can only eat." ”
Greeted Xiaorou and asked her to start preparing dinner!
After dinner, Zhao Changle was chatted with Jiang Xinyu for a while, and then he was allowed to go home.
After eating and drinking enough, coupled with chatting happily with Zhao Changle, Jiang Xinyu also decided to put aside the matter that bothered him. The chessboard was opened in a very detailed manner.
This chess is not chess, and it is not a good pleasure to compare chess without a good opponent. So she asked the craftsmen to create backgammon chess also came in handy.
Backgammon, chess is as its name suggests. Even if you make five pieces in a row, you win. This kind of simple and easy-to-understand thing doesn't have too many rules. Xiao Rou is also a little bit clear.
The chess pieces landed on the white jade chessboard, black and white.
"Ah, Miss, I'm up five!" Xiao Rou hurriedly laughed, her game of chess was refreshing, she didn't know how to play chess before, even if she played chess, she was called a stinky chess basket by Ziyu. Now this game of chess, as long as five, she has played with her own young lady until now, and she has not let her win one more of herself. In my heart, Titi was overjoyed.
After the five pieces are raised, the pieces can be closed. Then blow up one of the opponent's pawns and call it their own trophy. Xiao Rou obviously has more than just one fried. After getting up, Xiaorou took advantage of the opportunity to blow up in her hand and blew up another key position. Again. Four times in a row. Xiao Rou is holding black chess.
In an instant, the chessboard, which was originally black and white, was missing a small half, and the white chess pieces looked exquisite and clear in the jade board.
"Miss, I'm leading for the time being!" Xiao Rou was proud.
Jiang Xinyu looked at the expression on Xiaorou's face, and knew that this child was still young, and he got carried away with such a small success. Don't forget, this game is not finished yet, and it has not yet been decided who will win or lose.
"Hmph, you also said it, you are also temporarily ahead. Look. ”
Jiang Xinyu took the white chess piece and played to a place that originally seemed to have no subtlety. Suddenly, the chess pieces on this chessboard felt like a big place had happened, like the finishing touch. What was originally a chaotic chessboard suddenly became an image composed of a group of five chess pieces.
Jiang Xinyu picked up the chess pieces of the five ancestors one by one, and blew up the black chess pieces unhurriedly, and in the end, there were only black chess pieces and a few white chess pieces left on the chessboard. If you count it carefully, there are many more white pieces than black pieces.
Xiao Rou wanted to cry and look at the ever-changing chess game on this chessboard without tears. The confidence in the chessboard that had just been built up was shattered.
"Miss, I'm not playing anymore. I thought it was a simple game. As a result, I still lost so badly. Xiao Rou pouted, looking angry. He looks like he's throwing a tantrum. Jiang Xinyu didn't care, whether it was saying that she was basing her happiness on the pain of others, or that she was bullying Xiaorou. She didn't have a comment.
"If you don't play, don't play, I'm happy with your young lady today, but I won't cure you of the sin of losing your temper."
"But what I asked you to check, did you find out? If you can't find out, I'll have to punish you. "Jiang Xinyu asked Xiao Rou to check the matter, it was nothing else, it was the carriage they saw at the gate of the palace on the day they left the palace, Jiang Xinyu always felt that the carriage would not be so simple. Let's not talk about who is in there. With the attitude of the guards at the palace gate, it is also necessary to explore. The current royal palace is not mortuary.
"The things that the young lady ordered are naturally the top priority, and I dare not slack off. The carriage itself was not outstanding, and when I first inquired about the whereabouts of this carriage, no one knew about it, and then the slave maid heard a palace maid say that the carriage was looking at the place where Concubine Li. But whether they entered the other side or bypassed that side and went somewhere else, the slave and maid did not know. In fact, the carriage is not too simple to say simple, but in this rich Don Juan palace, such things will still attract the attention of people with hearts, which also provides clues for Xiaorou.
"That means you don't know where the car went, who was inside, and what happened to the palace." Jiang Xinyu secretly sighed that Xiaorou's ability to do things should not be so lacking.
"Miss, don't worry, listen to me. In addition to this, I also inquired about the relationship between the carriage and its owner in another place. Xiao Rou has a mysterious nature, which also aroused Jiang Xinyu's curiosity.
"Say it!"
"The slave and maid were found outside the emperor's bedroom, and the owner of the carriage came out to the emperor's bedroom. I don't know what the relationship is with the emperor. It is worth mentioning that this person is not a young girl, but an old man with white hair hanging down on the outside and inside. "Xiao Rou knows it from all over the world.
"Gray-haired man. When did this Izumo country have such a number one person? Do you see it clearly? Jiang Xinyu asked Xiaorou, she originally thought that she was a relative of Concubine Li, but now such an idea is naturally to directly make this possibility stronger.
"Xiao Rou is definitely not mistaken. Miss, it's just a gray-haired old man, do you have anything to worry about? ”
"Worry is naturally useless, you also know that when we first came out of the palace, we met that carriage, and I always felt that that person should have some insider." Jiang Xinyu blinked her eyes and pressed down the slightest hint of anxiety in her heart.
"Insider. Miss, you're really thinking too much. The old man seemed to be very open-minded, and it didn't seem like there was any secret. Xiao Rou didn't think it was like it, what could an old man with gray hair do.
"Is the old man alone in the carriage?"
"Nope." Xiao Rou shook her head. "There are also two boys, because after all, the old man's body is dying. I need the support of these two little boys. ”
"Is that so?" Jiang Xinyu couldn't help asking.
"Of course. Instead, they entered the emperor's bedroom in a bright and bright manner. Not sure what they want to do. "Xiao Rou wants to know.
"Well, although you don't know the details of this old man. But there was nothing about him now, so I just asked a little more. Let's do it again. ”
Jiang Xinyu's proposal, and in the end, Xiaorou agreed. After all, Xiao Rou still likes the stage of backgammon.
It is said that the old man and scholar in Jiang Xinyu's mouth are now in an ordinary inn in the capital.
No one knows the true identity of the old man, but the old man is also Nangong Tian's benefactor.
A brief word about what happened between them. In the process of fighting for the throne when Nangong Tian was young, this old man often gave Nangong Tian a lot of help. And then the most important thing is that Jiang Xinyu will be used by Nangong Tian, in fact, it can be regarded as the old man's facilitation.
The old man's real name is unknown, but people on the rivers and lakes will call him the old man of the starry sky, and when the old man was young, he was full of interest in some mysterious things such as the starry sky and divination for the future. Later, he became the most famous celestial master this time.
Jiang Xinyu was also one of the results of his divination, and he told Nangong Tian about this, so that Nangong Tian used the blood contract to control Jiang Xinyu. But this is also the old man of the starry sky so far, the biggest price he has suffered, just look at the old man's appearance,
The old man entered the palace some time ago to see what the result of his hard work and divination was. After all, he came here at a great cost.
"Hey, this woman's life shouldn't be like this, and I don't know why it's like this. But the results show that the rise and fall of this Izumo country is also related to her. The old man touched his gray beard. Thinking about Jiang Xinyu again.
The old man can be said to be Nangong Tian's teacher, and the old man has no relatives, except for the scholar. Nangong Tian can also be regarded as his only relative. In addition to imprinting the anger of Izumo Province on Jiang Xinyu's body. In fact, Jiang Xinyu also has a calamity of Nangong Tian imprinted on his body.
"It's just not whether one day can turn the danger into a disaster in the end." The old man was worried.
"Grandpa, talking about the emperor like this, I didn't discuss it with the emperor in the palace last time. How can you mention it again. Doesn't that affect your mood? The boy smashed his eyes wide and asked.
The old man looked at the two boys with pity, these were the people he had selected with aura.
