Chapter 24: The Deal of Grievances
The eastern part of the kingdom of Di is already asleep.
To the south, listen to the incense building.
Night, initial.
The vermilion paper slowly stretches endlessly. The violets on both sides are slightly drunk, and the snow-green petals bloom, like purple butterflies dancing one by one. The moon is like practice, entangled here.
In the listening incense building, there is no imaginary lantern and bright hall, but the black that you can't see your fingers. Only the white candles in the center of the circle on both sides emit a faint light, and the flames dancing in the wind are very dynamic, like the graceful dance of a dancer. On the table of the surrounding guests, there is only one paper lamp, but at a glance, there are thousands of lights, such as countless stars in the night sky, and like a pair of bright glass eyes.
The whole Tingxiang building is a large semicircle and has four floors. There are more than 20 compartments on each floor, and they are all full. In the middle, it is not a big stage.
The rapid drum beat gradually became louder from far to near. "Knock knock knock", the light brightened up little by little, and finally, the entire Tingxiang Building was illuminated. It was a blonde girl with snow-white skin. Her blonde hair is vertical to her waist, with small waves at the ends, lined with long, curled eyelashes, which makes her look particularly playful and cute. The upper body is a blue cloud butterfly pattern jacket, outlining the concave and convex curves, and under the indigo rain flower brocade skirt, revealing slender calves. On her fair-skinned left ankle, a string of small golden bells hangs, making a crisp sound of "ding-ding" as she dances. As soon as he looked up, there was a smile in his blue eyes, like a bottomless whirlpool, which took in everyone's confused eyes.
Her bold and unrestrained movements, like a string of flames, ignited the hearts of the male guests who wanted to conquer her. With a wipe of his right hand, a red flower was already in his red lips, which was so beautiful. The petals are inverted-lanceolate, stretching backwards and curling, and they are extremely red, and they are undoubtedly the flowers of the other side. In the next second, with a wave of her hand, the flower fell in the vast crowd. The eyes of thousands of people are focused on one point.
In the crowd, a Dai Qing Shu brocade robe depicted his straight body. The sword eyebrows were raised slightly, and a pair of clear eyes were embedded in the angular face, looking at her quietly. She smiled brightly and turned to walk towards the attic. He paused and followed. Only the envious and jealous guests in the stands were left.
Tingxiang Building, the second floor wing.
"Childe, what do you want to hear?" The woman's sweet voice rang out from behind the screen.
"Whatever you want." A deep, deep voice said.
The woman pouted: What? For the first time in my life, I played the piano to someone, and it was so perfunctory! Thinking about it, I played "Panic". The sound of the piano is like a piercing sawing sound, although the person who pulls it is very devoted, and he can still hear the writing and intonation of the frustration, but it is really unbearable. This really made the man opposite widen his eyes in surprise: there is such an extreme piano sound in the world! It's rare, it's rare. Since you have a request for her, let's bear with it. It's a kind of tempering...... With a solemn expression, he closed his eyes and listened to the piano.
Suddenly, there was a "Zheng-" sound, and everything returned to peace. The man could seem to be heard breathing a sigh of relief.
Behind the screen, the woman gritted her teeth and looked at the strings that had been plucked by herself in embarrassment, but quickly said casually: "This piano is too careless, so I plucked it a few times." β
When the man heard this, he couldn't help but laugh out loud. He said, "I see, this piano ...... No need to play. Moreover, it is better not to play it easily in the future. β
The woman stepped out from behind the screen, the bell ringing at her feet. She sat down directly across from him and said, "Hmph, of course I do." You should be honored to be the first to hear my piano. β
"Yes, yes, yes. Take the liberty of asking the girl's name? The man asked, holding back a smile.
"What's the name? I don't understand what you are talking about, what are so many twists and turns in the intestines, my name is Shen Wan. β
"Miss Shen is so interesting, where did she come from? What about the family? β
"They let me go through the experience, and they are all in the clan."
Beigong Han didn't notice anything wrong, and pointed to the black Xuanmu that was still hanging on her waist: "This jade pendant on your waist is very beautiful." β
"This is not a jade pendant, it is black, Xuan, wood! Wood in the Bitter Cold. Beigong Han raised his eyebrows: I didn't expect her to know Hei Xuanmu, isn't it another one who wants to go to Ice City? However, it is better to be able to pull an ally than to build an enemy...... So he said: "I also need this piece of Xuanmu to open the gate of the ice city, so it's better to cooperate." β
"Huh?" Shen Wan didn't expect him to make his intentions clear so quickly, and was stunned, "That's it...... But why do you think I'd want to go to Ice City? β
When she said the word "Ice City", confusion seemed to flash in her eyes, and she disappeared into invisibility in an instant, making Beigong Han think it was just an illusion.
"Isn't it?"
"Let me ask you, what are you doing when you go to Ice City?" She said word by word.
"I'm Beigong Han, the prince of Pi Kingdom, and I want to collect four pieces of Xuanmu to find the treasure of Ice City, but the other team already has two Xuanmu, and I must get this one."
"Who is on the other team?" She asked slowly.
"I don't know very well, I only know that one person is called Shang Jin." Shen Wan heard this name, her eyes lit up, Beigong Han frowned and thought: This is bad, it is said that Shang Jin is extremely beautiful and is deeply loved by women. The person in front of him has obviously heard of Shang Jin's name, isn't it another admirer of his?
Who knew that she said very happily: "Okay, let's cooperate." She untied Hei Xuanmu from her waist and handed it to Beigong Han.
On the second day, Mu Ningjiu got out of the quilt and suddenly felt a sore pain in her left neck, remembering that someone knocked her unconscious when she was having a good time. "Shang, Jin ......" she paused word by word, gritting her teeth.
"Smack." A strange sound suddenly sounded outside the door. After last night's Zhiyin master's order, Shang Jin stayed awake all night, but he got up early and came to Mu Ning Nine Gardens to enjoy the four seasons. When he was stunned, he heard someone call his name like a life, his hand shook, and the osmanthus branch he was holding was cut off by the waist, and half of it was pinched in the palm of his hand. He touched his nose and thought, "I didn't do anything bad, this early morning...... Thinking of Mu Ningjiu's angry expression with a fake smile, the corners of his mouth grinned: What a little fox.
As soon as Mu Changfeng entered the courtyard, he saw Shang Jin smiling wildly, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he refused to take a second look and walked towards Mu Ningjiu's room, and after knocking three or four times, he saw that no one opened it, so he pushed the door and entered, and then did not forget to close the door lightly "carefully".
"Crackling." The branches, which were originally only broken in half, have now been reduced to a pile of fragments, which is unbearable to see. What the? Mu Changfeng is like this...... Got in?! If it were him, he might have been repaired. How can the difference in treatment between people be so obvious...... Shang Jin's little son's self-esteem was bruised. He ran to the door of Mu Ning's ninth room in a huff, and listened to the movement in the house with bated breath.
"Condensationβ"
"Huh? Are you up? I thought you'd wake up late, after all, last night," he paused, "yes...... Last night I advised you to drink less, but then, ...... Anyway, no...... What's going on? β
β......β
"Yes, yes......" Mu Changfeng saw that she didn't react, and said more than a dozen "yes" in a row, and his tone was a little resentful. Shang Jin smacked his lips and thought: Cut! Is it a manly man, and he is still coquettish...... Hum!
Mu Ningjiu had just woken up, and there was a hint of laziness in her originally crisp voice: "Well, no...... What's it. "Or, if you want something, you're knocked out. Mu Ningjiu added in his heart. But her wine isn't that bad. She soothed herself. Then he shook his head and said, "Okay, don't talk about that." Mumu, help me call Yilu in, if you're hungry, go eat first. β
"Hmm...... It's okay, then I'll wait for you outside the door. Mu Changfeng winked mischievously at Mu Ningjiu, smiled and pushed the door out, but unexpectedly bumped into Shang Jin who was eavesdropping outside the door.
"Hiss......" Mu Changfeng rubbed his aching forehead, and when he saw someone coming, his eyebrows were raised, and he was about to speak, but he was covered by a big hand, and he could only make a "hmm" sound. Shang Jin dragged Mu Changfeng, who didn't know martial arts, to the corner of the wall, and whispered in his ear: "Shhh, whisper." If you don't make a noise, I'll let you go. Mu Changfeng struggled, his eyes signaling him to let go first. He couldn't, and his hand loosened.
Mu Changfeng moved freely, and was just about to speak, when his nose suddenly itched: "Ahhh This demon still uses spices? I really don't understand......
On the other side, Shang Jin looked at Mu Changfeng, whose nose and eyes were red, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Huh? Is this going to cry? It's not good, the little fox is so good to Mu Changfeng, if he is allowed to find the little fox like this, I don't want to say that there is a chance, it is estimated that even people will not appear in front of her...... Thinking about it, he quickly softened his tone and cleared his throat: "Mu ...... Mu, don't tell Mu Ningjiu about this, if you don't tell her, I'll invite you to dinner. When he called that title, even he got goosebumps all over the place. No matter what, it's out of the way. He gritted his teeth, his inky eyes staring at Mu Changfeng.
Mu Changfeng felt a chill after listening to Shang Jin's address to him, he shook his arm, shook off the discomfort on his skin, rolled his eyes, and said, "Eat...... Ah, yes. Seeing the fireworks-like light burst out in Shang Jin's ink eyes, he added slowly: "However, if you want three meals, it belongs to me alone, and the whole Han banquet is full." β
Shang Jin was so angry that he was about to teach him a "good" lesson, he immediately put on a look of being greatly wronged, Shang Jin knew that he would be wrong before, and let Mu Changfeng pick up a cheap one in vain, but he was helpless, glared at him with hatred, and said unwillingly: "Deal." β
Mu Ningjiu didn't see anyone in the courtyard for a long time, so he planned to go to the water pavilion for breakfast by himself. A turn, I saw Shang Jin and Mu Changfeng in the corner of the wall.
