Chapter 5: This Hundred Flowers Conference (5)

The unlucky Jun'an City convoy was going to leave, but halfway through, they were forced to turn back. The people in the city are looking forward to it, and if they see the royal official and his wife at the Hundred Flowers Conference, it will prove that this is true. It seems that the siege of the city not only wants to harm Fenglin City, but even the irrelevant people in Jun'an City will not let go.

This second thing on the tip of the tongue just confirmed the first conjecture: there were many strange poisonous insects in the city overnight, many of which were not born locally, and I don't know where or how they came from thousands of miles over the mountains and mountains. Many woodcutter mountain folk described to the big guys that in the border mountains, such as the dangerous Yu Mountain in the west, when the rocks fell, swarms of poisonous snakes and reptiles suddenly appeared. Combined with the man-eating black ants attached to the ten golden black statues outside the west city gate, as well as the flower-shelled turtles in the waterways of the city, and the flying wings that can be detoxified from the fire country. Isn't this the Hundred Dragons army pressing the realm?

Although the wind did not destroy the city in three days, these hundred dragons have already entered the city.

People whispered.

In this city of wind that has been shrouded in legends, bugs are not just bugs, poison has another meaning.

Of course, there are also people who think that a gadget that can be trampled to death by lifting your foot, and it will not sting if you don't touch it, is it a siege beast strong enough to destroy the city wall?

We'll see.

Those who like to associate with it are even more like, and moved out of the various tragedies that occurred under the fish head fruit tree in the chaotic stone mountain on West Road, and reintroduced the goldfish people who died ten years ago into the center of the topic, especially the matriarch who died at the wedding with Master Taishi. More and more of the city's citizens seemed to see it with their own eyes, telling the story of the red wedding girl who stood outside the city gate in a trance at night, with a hijab covered with gold embroidered fish on her head, and threw fish heads and gold in front of passing caravans, luring the greedy people to take the bait, rob their carriages, and try to enter the city.

Everyone shuddered.

At this time, the women began to gossip about the unspeakable secrets between Master Taishi and the only descendant of the Goldfish Clan, speaking vividly, as if they had successfully crossed the flag array, climbed the Star Tower, and saw with their own eyes that Master Taishi had an affair with a strange woman, and Mrs. Taishi was so angry that she couldn't afford to get sick.

And then there's the third thing.

Taishi Mansion announced that all the residents of the city will be invited to participate in the Hundred Flowers Conference, and the Golden Crow God will be invited to bring the little flower god, that is, the Taishi Mansion daughter Tai Shixin to appear together, and the wind will come to the city to bloom all over the day with a hundred flowers, symbolizing the prosperity of the flowers.

Of course, it is a great pleasure to enjoy the flowers, and Miss Hexin, the envoy of the Golden Crow, is not something that can be invited casually.

Let's talk about Miss Xin first, she is not very old, but her reputation is already a household name. According to rumors, the wife of the lord of Jun'an City had long heard that Miss Xin could communicate with a hundred flowers, and she always wanted to dig her away and lock her up in Jun'an City to create a sea of immortal flowers with no end in sight. When the royal officer and Mrs. Bailing set off, they will take away the little flower god who is in the city, and the big guy will no longer see the beautiful scenery of a hundred flowers blooming.

It was this Hundred Flowers Conference, the last time Miss Xin cast the magic of ten thousand flowers before leaving Fenglin City.

In fact, to be honest, the current city-dwellers are not in much of a mood to enjoy the flowers.

The doubts and fears of the sixteen-character prophecy are like a surging dark tide that prevails. People can't help but guess that the Hundred Flowers Conference is an attempt by the Taishi Mansion to divert everyone's attention and create an illusion of joy and peace, covering up the panic of Fenglin being wiped out by the Hundred Dragons.

In addition to the exclamation, people are deeply rejoicing. The wind came to the city to welcome the long-awaited Golden Crow God - no, it was not the Golden Crow God, but the Golden Crow God Qi Bei. The eldest patriarch breathed a sigh of relief, Qi Bei's arrival gave the city residents a reassurance, and everyone wanted to see Qi Bei's appearance, and rub a little fairy spirit with him, but at the same time, it was inevitable to be a little disappointed. The key question is, when will the Golden Crow God come?

The Golden Crow God made a face to attend the Hundred Flowers Conference. This probably explains why there were so many people that day that almost the whole city was dispatched.

"The Golden Crow Divine Envoy in people's mouths, are you an old acquaintance?" the imperial official looked down slightly at Mrs. Bailing, who was tidying up her clothes, and suddenly asked.

Mrs. Bailing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the table, fortunately, the hand mirror sent by Qi Bei had been received in the jewelry box, and Shi Yu should not have seen it.

She didn't know why she was flustered, lowered her head, and clarified: "It's not old knowledge. Zhi'er and I met him for the first time at the gate of Fenglin City. The second time I saw him, he was in the backyard of Taishi Mansion, and the Hundred Opera Troupe was building a stage nearby. Then it's time to be with you in the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. And yesterday, Xiaocui drank the plum juice squeezed from the well water and was poisoned, and he helped find the antidote. ”

The royal official smiled and said, "Madame, don't panic. Of course I know. ”

Lady Bailing pondered silently what this sentence meant.

"Today's Hundred Flowers Conference, the Golden Crow Divine Envoy will also participate. ”

I heard that the children around him and his junior sister said that they would participate. If you want to come to Taishi Mansion, it's impossible not to invite him. ”

The imperial official bowed his head and said in a low voice: "If you have the opportunity, you must thank him in person." ”

"Thank you?" Lady Bailing caught the two words that came out softly.

"Of course, thank him for clarifying the misunderstanding, otherwise the two of us wouldn't be able to get down to the Drunken Immortal Tower. and saved the maid beside you. Ye Shiyu's gaze was a little wandering, he thought of the sea lady on the island who would have time to answer the question of the Golden Crow God Envoy in the future, and couldn't help but say to himself, "Of course I have to thank him." ”

Mrs. Bailing was thinking about other things, thinking about it, and still felt that she had to throw away the hand mirror sent by Qi Bei. Her cheeks were slightly hot, and her hands that were arranging the royal officer's clothes trembled a little: "I...... I shouldn't meddle in other people's affairs. No one will come to the door. Shi Yu, I ...... I didn't see him alone. ”

The royal official realized that his wife thought he was being interrogated. He smiled dumbly and gently held Lady Bailing's cold hand: "You and I have already made some things clear before we got married. I've told you many times that even though I'm around, you don't have to be afraid, just do what you want, whether it's singing or whatever......"

"No!" Lady Bailing's eyes were resolute, and she took the gentleman to tie it to him, and replied categorically, "I will marry you, that is, your wife, and I will never do anything unfavorable to you, nor will I have any contact with others." ”

"No, I didn't mean that. It's just that this time I came to Fenglin City, and in the future, I will ...... after all"

"Whatever you want, as long as—" Madame Bailing interrupted the royal officer, smiled in return, and quickly fastened the gentleman's belt, and opened her eyes vigorously, with tears in her eyes.
