157: Where are the others
Her eyes were full Chinese of tears, holding the robe but refusing to let go, Zhou Yang was helpless, there was no other way than to give her time to accept this matter.
After a whole night, she didn't want to think about anything, but fortunately, her body was not weaker than some time ago, and she was not afraid of the cold in the middle of summer.
Zhou Yang came over the next day to ask the maid who was taking care of the house
"What did she do?" The maid replied
"I've been lying on the couch...... It was as if he was sleeping, but he didn't speak, and he didn't eat the food he was given. Calculating the time, it has been almost two days since she came back, and she has hardly eaten anything, Zhou Yangbu walked in, picked up the porridge that the maid had just brought in, and called her softly
"Nanzhao!" Her gaze had been fixed somewhere, and when she heard his voice, it finally turned.
"Brother Jiu......" she smiled, very bleak.
"You drink some porridge!" He was worried.
"But I'm not hungry." She wasn't really hungry, her stomach seemed to be full of stuff and bulging. Zhou Yang didn't want to indulge her anymore, so he personally handed her a porridge spoon to her mouth and fed her to drink.
At first, she didn't want to open her mouth, so he asked in the tone of his brother
"Don't you even want to listen to Brother Jiu's words?" Hearing this, her eyes moved, and she opened her mouth to eat the porridge he fed, one, two, and three spoonfuls...... He finally breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly, Nan Zhao felt a burst of nausea, covered his mouth, and vomited all the porridge he had just drunk to the ground.
"I'm sorry Brother Jiu......" Nan Zhao wiped the corners of his mouth,
"I didn't mean to!"
"Brother Jiu knows everything!" His eyes were gray,
"It's all Brother Jiu who forced you to drink ......" After speaking, he didn't want to stay here all the time to see her like this, he also had important things to deal with, so he got up and came out of the house.
Xunhu was waiting outside the house at the moment, whispering to him
"Master, what you wanted, I have moved in through the back door in the early morning!"
"No one else saw it, did it?"
"Nope." He stepped out and met Lu Donglai, who was coming in, he was in the barracks last night, and it stands to reason that he should not have come back at this time.
Zhou Yang's mind was delicate, how could he not know the reason, so he didn't ask anything. changed Lu Donglai and asked him with a calm and breezy look
"Lord Wang, is the little spirit girl better?" He replied
"If Daoist Lu cares, just go and see it yourself!" As soon as the little Taoist priest heard this, he immediately declared
"What cares? People have their own creation, this is the end of her life, why should she worry? Zhou Yang asked him
"And what are you doing here?"
"Poor ......," he stressed
"Poor Dao has important matters, I have to discuss it with the prince!"
"So?" Zhou Yang didn't expose him, and asked along the way
"Then what is the important matter for Daochang Lu to discuss with this king?" Lu Donglai thought about it and said to him
"Recently, it has been the poor road guarding the monument of life and death, the prince wants Jiuwu to replace me, and I have mentioned it to the grandfather of the country many times, but the grandfather of the country has rejected it, but the prince's temperament is estimated to be unwilling to give up, what actions should be made in these days, the poor road is not afraid, the seal on the prince's body has not been restored, you should be careful, prepare in advance!" He nodded gratefully
"I have a heart!" Zhou Yang knew that he was actually here to see Nan Zhao, but he refused to admit it because he wanted to save face, and he didn't break it, so he left first!
Lu Donglai stepped in, and first saw the fat ginseng sitting next to the table drinking the porridge that Nan Zhao didn't drink, he glared at her, and the fat ginseng immediately flew to the beam of the house, and said angrily
"What is fierce, it's a waste if the little spirit girl doesn't drink it!" He ignored her, walked over to Nan Zhao, who was standing on the edge of the bed in a daze, and called her
"Little Spirit Maiden!" Nan Zhao knew that he was coming, but he didn't have anything to say to him, he just wanted to stay alone, so he didn't promise her.
Lu Donglai was unhappy, he stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, seeing that she still didn't move, he simply jumped on the windowsill and asked her to look at him.
Nan Zhao was really upset, turned around and avoided him, he refused to forget it, and jumped off the windowsill lightly, blocking her way, preaching
"Little Spirit Girl, is it true that Shen Ru is gone, and you plan to continue like this forever?"
"......" Lu Donglai asked with disgust
"Is there no Shen Rusu, you don't even know who you are?" When she heard this, her numb face finally changed, and she nodded and replied
"yes, without him, I don't even know who I am!"
"That's not what he wants to see!" In order to sober her up, he was not afraid to make matters worse for her at all, he reminded
"Nan Zhao, no matter how uncomfortable you are at the moment, you should understand that he left because he and Wen Ye were husband and wife in his previous life, maybe he had paid a lot to you, but he finally chose Wen Ye!" Nan Zhao stood in place, listening motionlessly, with a pool of stagnant water in his eyes.
"My master said that once a person is emotional, his heart is involuntary, Poor Dao doesn't understand the seven emotions and six desires of you people in the world, Poor Dao only knows that he is gone at this moment, Wen Ye must have been resurrected, they can be regarded as continuing the fate of the previous life, and what about you?" He asked her.
Nan Zhao's heart tightened, and he also asked himself, what about me?
"No matter who Shen Rugu chooses, you should know that there is an enmity between you and Wen Ye in the past and present life, Shen Rugu helped her get the Black Flame Staff, what will she do next, have you thought about it?" She naturally didn't think about it, when she was sad, her mind was full of Shen Ru's kindness to her and his promise to her, she refused to accept the status quo and kept running away.
Lu Donglai told her
"You can continue to let yourself go because you are sad, but if you wait until Wen Ye starts to do it, are you willing to restrain yourself and let her trample on your bones with your beloved Shen Rusu?" She remained unanswered, silently ignoring all his words.
Lu Donglai felt bored and waved his sleeves out of the room. Nan Zhao knew that he was gone, so he turned around and walked to the dresser, staring at the wooden box in front of him.
The wooden box contained the jewelry she had thrown out the day before, and she had gone out of the window last night and picked it all up, and she still refused to believe that the man who had taught her how to walk in the darkness and redeem her with her soul was gone!
She still had a little luck, perhaps, what was his trouble, as long as he came back to tell her, she would believe him!
"Nanzhao!" A shadow came in from outside, and she heard the voice coming from Zhou Kite.
"How did the princess come?" She didn't really want to talk. The other party walked closer, saw her haggard appearance, sympathy appeared on her face, and whispered
"I heard about the surname Shen, Brother Jiu didn't allow Ah Kite to come over to trouble you, Ah Kite came secretly!" Because of running all the way, Zhou Yuan's face was flushed with exhaustion, she went to the table by herself, poured a cup of herbal tea, and poured it all into her throat before she began to scold indignantly
"Ah Kite really didn't expect that there is really such a negative man in this world, and the princess once thought he was good-looking, what's the use of being good-looking? It's terrible to be ruthless! Nan Zhao didn't speak, and listened numbly.
"If it weren't for Brother Jiu finding out in advance and letting the spies of Tianji Mansion track him down, I'm afraid you'd still be in the dark now, stupidly waiting for him to come back-" Zhou Yuan sighed and said
"Ah Kite has never liked anyone, but if the man I like does this to me, I must let Brother Jiu kill him! Why don't you let him go with other women? How painful I am! Hearing this, her face suddenly changed and she asked
"Brother Jiu found out that his whereabouts were wrong a few days ago, right?" Zhou Yuan didn't have many city mansions, these were all by Zhou Yang's side, although Zhou Yang intended to avoid her, but she overheard it and nodded and answered
"I heard that he went to a theater troupe in the city every day a few days ago to listen to the play, and he listened to it for several hours, and the troupe only entered the city recently, and Brother Jiu also specially sent someone to check the origin of this troupe, and I heard that it came from the side of Leguo, and the drama sung was wonderful, and there was one every day in the middle and evening." Hearing this, Nan Zhao asked eagerly
"One in the middle and one in the evening?" Zhou Yuan nodded and replied without thinking too much
"The evening show started at the unitary time, and it hasn't opened yet, so there are a lot of people watching." She had already stood up from the stool, and the other party saw that she suddenly came to her senses and asked puzzled
"Sister Nanzhao, what are you going to do?"
"I want to go to the theater!" She replied. The other party was even more confused,
"Aren't you feeling bad? Why do you suddenly want to watch a play? Nan Zhao smiled bitterly and replied
"The princess won't understand!" Zhou Yuan is very strong, and her ninth brother often prevaricates her on the grounds that she is young and doesn't understand, but Nan Zhao is the same age as her, can she not understand?
"If you don't say it, how do you know that Princess Ben doesn't understand?" She didn't explain anything to the princess, only in a pleading tone
"Can the princess do Nanzhao a favor?"
"What's the hurry?"
"Some people and things have a deep impact on me, so I need a result, if Brother Jiu knows, he will worry about me, so can the princess help me hide it?"
"It's simple—" For Zhou Yuan, this kind of thing is simply commonplace, but she also has a request.
"This princess can help you, but you also have to promise this princess that once you get the result you want, don't be decadent in your emotional entanglement with Shen Rugu anymore, stay by the side of Brother Jiu, okay?" Nan Zhao didn't think much about it, nodded and agreed!
Zhou Yuan called her personal maid Lu Xin outside the door, asked Lu Xin to take off her skirt and put it on Nan Zhao, and then let Lu Xin wear her clothes and lie on the bed.
In this way, she can take her in and out of the mansion without being detected. The two of them came out on horseback, Zhou Yuan was wearing a regular dress that was easy to move, and Nan Zhao was wearing the clothes of a maid, although it was a maid, but the maid next to the princess, the style and fabric of the clothes were also upper-class goods.
They soon came to the night market in Yunzhou, although it was dark, but the night market in Yunzhou was always very lively.
Border city, perennial are melted with the caravan of the surrounding neighboring tribes, a few days ago because of the Jin civil strife, fled many displaced people to come, closed the night market for a period of time, recently, the Jin civil strife calmed down a lot, only to reopen the night market, this troupe is a few days ago into the city, as soon as the play started, it became popular all over Yunzhou.
Because there were so many people who came to watch the play, they came too late, and almost all of them were robbed of their places, Zhou Yuan proposed
"Let's park the horses in the stable of the Yonghe Teahouse over there, and then walk over to find a place." She had no objection, and the two led the horses to the Yonghe Teahouse, and before the play began, many guests listened to Mr. in the teahouse.
The story told by Mr. Storyteller today is the Taizhou Wanning Paste Case. Yonghe teahouse, crowded with listeners, Nan Zhao was about to leave, Zhou Yuan was very curious when he heard the place name Taizhou, and pulled her to say
"Wait a while, listen to it, what about the ten thousand condensation cream, I'll talk about Brother Jiu in a while!" Nan Zhao had to stand at the back of the crowd and wait, when the storyteller began to preach
"Speaking of this place in Taizhou, since the outstanding people, there have been many celebrities, when the deterrent ghost general is Taizhou people, this is the words, the words, this ten thousand condensation ointment case, it is said that this ointment is very magical, the old people who have used it will be young, ugly is will become beautiful, the original beautiful people will give birth to the color of the country, only as soon as it was listed, it was sought after by women, but no one thought that this magical ten thousand condensation ointment was actually made of young women's bones ground into powder, and only with the bones can not, It is said that this ointment is ingested with spiritual arts, so that it has such an effect. The audience was very curious
"Spiritual art, what kind of spiritual art, can create such a miraculous Ten Thousand Gel Cream?"
"That spiritual art, naturally, comes from a powerful spiritual creature, and this spiritual creature is called a spiritual spirit! This spirit is the spirit of the spirit girl! ”
"So, the person who made this ten thousand condensation ointments is a spirit girl?" The storyteller smiled and replied
"The case of Wan Ning Paste has not been solved so far, and the only thing that can be confirmed is that the perpetrator is a woman!"
"It must be the spirit girl, I heard that the spirit girl is a demon star, and the evil spirit that was haunted in Yongle Fang a few days ago was also released by the spirit girl, have you heard?" originally wanted to hear about the heroic deeds of her ninth brother, but when she heard these nonsense things, Zhou Yuan was so angry that she shouted
"It's just nonsense, who told you that it was the spirit girl who released it?" Listening here were a group of big men, and suddenly a small girl came out to question them, and these men looked at Zhou Yuan contemptuously and replied
"The spirit girl is a demon star, and everywhere she goes, there are all kinds of evil cases and disasters, who needs to tell this? What happened three hundred years ago is recorded in the Kyushu drama records! ”
"I said girl, men talk, what are you interjecting?"
"Look at what you're wearing, it should be a young lady from a big family who hasn't left the cabinet, right? It's dark this day, isn't it okay to still hang out outside? ”
"You are bold! Ben Gong ......, "Zhou Yuan is so big, and it is the first time that someone dares to speak to her like this, she is so angry that she is about to do it, but Nan Zhao stopped her in time and pulled her outside the teahouse before letting go."
She persuaded
"Forget it, Kite!" Zhou Yuan couldn't bear it at all, she said dancing inside
"These Ishii people are simply ignorant, are you still criticized by them like that?" She has grown up listening to such criticism since she was a child, and she has long been numb, but what makes her difficult to let go is that the fourteenth princess who was going to stab her with a knife was willing to fight for her, and Shen Ru, who had said that he would never let go unless he died, left her...... The play has already begun, and they don't hesitate, and walk quickly towards the stage.
The stage is built on the most prosperous market square in the east of the city, next to a centuries-old soaphorn tree, many children can't see the stage, so they climb the tree to watch.
Zhou Yuan tiptoed behind and couldn't see the stage, so he pulled Nan Zhao to keep squeezing to the front, and finally let her spend money to see in front of her, and bought their seats at a high price from two people who bought tickets in advance.
The play on the stage has been opened, the play is actually the story of Ye Xian and her husband, Ye Xian has the appearance of captivating the country and the city, only sixteen, the man who fell for her stepped through the rural road of Wenjia Village, and Ye Xian's sister is named Wen Zhao, Wen Zhao looks mediocre, and when she appears next to Ye Xian, she is like a fire girl.
Growing up under the aura of such an excellent sister, Wen Zhao is suspicious and jealous by nature, she often takes out the gifts that others send to her sister at home and throws them away, one day, Ye Xian got married, and the person who married her is a son who also looks like a country, I don't know his name, but Ye Xian called him as
"Mei", Ye Zhao fell in love with Mei, hated her sister for being the person Mei loved, in order to get Mei, she went to pray to the evil demon.
"Devil, devil, as long as I get flattery, I can do anything for you!" Evil demons say
"The deity wants you to sacrifice the souls of a hundred people, are you willing?"
"I do!" So the evil demon planted a spirit flower in Wen Zhao's right palm, and asked her to kill for her, Wen Ye, who got the spirit flower, kept killing, and finally sacrificed the souls of hundreds of people to the devil, and the demon bewitched Wen Zhao to see Wen Zhao as a fairy, and stayed with her day by day.
And the real Ye Xian is too kind, no matter how her sister hurts her, she has been waiting for her to turn back.
In the end, Wen Zhao killed her even more ruthlessly, and before Ye Xian died, Mei Cai woke up in a panic and found that it was Wen Zhao's plan, and he said to Wen Zhao angrily
"You wicked woman, she's your sister!" Wen Zhao didn't feel a trace of guilt
"What I hate most in my life is to be her sister, and I hate you even more for loving her, not me!" Mei hated her, but she couldn't avenge Ye Xian, so she chose to go to Huangquan with Ye Xian.
Seeing him commit suicide with a knife, Wen Zhao was heartbroken
"Why? Why would you rather die than be with me? Before Mei died, she refused to look at her, and said with resentment
"In the next life, everything you owe her, I will take it back for her-" In the next life, everything you owe her, I will take it back for her...... The drama on stage is so realistic that it is immersive, and the officials in the audience are moved to tears by the unswerving love between Ye Xian and Mei to death.
Even Zhou Yuan said in a choked voice
"This woman named Wen Zhao is simply a demon!" Nan Zhao looked at the man on the stage who played Mei, he was wearing a white robe, fell in a pool of blood, and said with a wry smile
"It turns out that what he comes to see every day is such a play......" Zhou Yuan She just integrated into the play on the stage, and she didn't react for a while who Wen Zhao Wen Ye was, and then she suddenly realized that the evil demon seed in the play was a spirit flower in Wen Zhao's palm, and she asked in surprise
"Do you know Wen Zhao? Just like your name, there is a Zhao character! Nan Zhao's gaze had not yet been withdrawn, and he replied with a bitter face
"I heard that in my previous life, my surname was Wen, and my single name was a Zhao character." I heard, everything was heard. Zhou Yuan half-covered her mouth at the moment and said in disbelief
"Is this play about your past life? In your previous life, it turned out to be that bad sister? Nan Zhao took a deep breath
"If this is really my previous life, then all the things that have happened to me in this life are what I deserve!" Zhou Yuan felt that she had said the wrong thing, and she immediately changed her words
"Most of the stories made up by these dramas are fake, just listen to the storyteller in the teahouse just now, you know, it's not credible!" She didn't say anything more, got up and walked towards the stage.
"What do you do?" Zhou Yuan also followed. The night show is over, and the actors are off the stage in the back, removing the makeup on their faces.
Nan Zhao suddenly appeared backstage, and the actors all looked at her curiously, and a person in charge came to tell her
"Girl, tonight's play is over, I want to watch the play and come back tomorrow." She asked
"These days, you've been playing the same play tonight, right?" The other party was a fifty-year-old woman, born with a shrewd appearance, looking at the luxurious clothes they were wearing, not ordinary girls, and she still carried a sword on her waist, and the sword was also a good sword, so she didn't dare to slack off, and nodded and answered
"yes."
"Then do you remember that there is a good-looking son who always comes to watch the play these days?" The steward laughed
"This Yunzhou is so big, there are a lot of good-looking sons."
"He is dressed in a white robe, and it is impossible to be ignored in the crowd." When the other party heard her description, his face changed and said,
"There is indeed such a person, but that son only watches the play and has never been close to the stage." Nan Zhao stared at her face carefully, emphasizing deeply
"I didn't seem to have asked you if he ever came near the stage!" Zhou Yuan also heard the fame, and immediately asked fiercely
"Yes, we didn't ask you, why don't you have a shadow here?" The woman was a little nervous, and she didn't dare to look her directly
"I saw that the girl was very concerned when she asked, if she didn't want to ask about the son, why did she come to ask us? I'm also a singer! ”
"Are you sure—you're really just a singer?" Nan Zhao's face became colder, as if he could kill someone at any time.
The woman repeated
"I'm really just a singer!" Because they were talking loudly here, everyone else in the troupe gathered around, and the woman who played Wen Ye asked with concern
"Aunt He, are they looking for trouble?" The woman replied
"I don't know what these two are going to do, I'm done watching the play......" Nan Zhao suddenly walked up to her and asked
"Where is Shen Ru?" These words startled Zhou Yuan, and she quickly tugged at Nan Zhao's sleeve and whispered
"You're crazy, how do people know where Shen Ru is?" The woman also looked at her with the eyes of a madman,
"What, where? Girl, are you looking for someone in the wrong place? ”
"Aunt He, I think these two are here to find trouble!" When the others heard this, they immediately started the guy.
Their kind of drama troupe that walks the rivers and lakes is not simple, and these actors are all kung fu, and they are not afraid at all when they encounter trouble.
As soon as Zhou Yuan saw that the other party was actually a bright guy, he immediately walked out with his head held high and said
"My sister has been in trouble recently, and she has been hit a little bit, not to ask for trouble, but you dare to do this to us, do you know who I am?" Nan Zhao was not afraid that they would use force with her at all, so she asked the woman in front of her again
"Others—where the hell are they?" Cat flutter Chinese
