Chapter 8 First Visit to Xuanshan
When I woke up in the morning, I was dizzy, I don't know if it was because of the wind last night, or because of the pot of flower carving.
I vaguely remember chatting with Xiao Ran about zuihou, and I drank the pot of wine in one gulp.
He was obviously not very good at drinking, and he fell when he jumped off the roof while carrying me. I squatted on the ground and laughed at him for a long time, and then Tang Huan, who was woken up by my creepy laughter, rushed out in a rage and threw me back into the room cleanly. When I closed the door for me, I didn't forget to scold outside the door: "In the middle of the night, when you learn what female ghost is crying, your hair will be stood up by your crying." ”
Actually, I wanted to tell him that I was laughing......
After breakfast, Boss Hong brought an important news, the Empress Dowager Zhao's phoenix body is sick, and King Xiao will go to the Changqing Temple in Xuanshan to pray for the Empress Dowager Zhao on the sixth day of the next month.
There are still ten days left before the sixth day of the next month, and we must now go to Xuanshan to investigate and see how we can meet King Xiao smoothly on the sixth day of the next month.
Xiao Ran's current actions are still low-key, and after discussion, it was decided that Tang Huan and I would go to Xuanshan to investigate.
Riding on a horse with no return, he followed behind Tang Huan all the way to the north city gate. Xuanshan is located sixty miles north of the city of Xingxing, and it will take us about two hours to arrive.
When passing through the north of the city, I saw that the Taoist man from yesterday was still sitting on the high platform, but there were few onlookers, and many people thought the same as the senior brother, and decided to come and see him fly directly on the tenth day. Fortunately, Xiao Guo at this time did not have a madhouse, otherwise this Taoist would have been imprisoned a long time ago.
After leaving the city, there are winding mountain roads all the way, but the scenery on both sides of the road is extremely pleasant. The weeping willows spit out new green, the begonias dyed red, Tang Huan and I rode horses and galloped in this vibrant scenery, hovering happily above our heads, without any tiredness.
It was noon when we arrived at the foot of Xuanshan Mountain.
The Changqing Temple that King Xiao is going to this time is located on the top of Xuanshan Mountain, and it is said that there are a total of 3,000 steps from the foot of the mountain to the front of the temple. I looked up along the stairs, my feet suddenly became weak, and I looked at Tang Huan tremblingly: "Are we going to climb up?" ”
Tang Huan said with a look that had difficulty communicating with my IQ: "Then you fly up like no return?" ”
Many times Tang Huan was worried about me, and gave a few examples to try to hit me. For example, how beautiful the two princesses of Xiao Guo are, how knowledgeable Princess Zhaowen of our Lou Kingdom is, and how smart the princesses of the beneficial country are. And in his eyes, I am a man with no beauty, no learning, and no wisdom.
When he had given the example, I asked him how I compared myself to those princesses. Although I can't refute his first two points, I can't agree with this point about wisdom.
Since I was a child, I have thought about many things more thoroughly than my brother, and I have seen problems more thoroughly, but I have not expressed many ideas. Just like this mission, although the master considered all aspects, he still ignored one problem, the idea of unifying the three countries is not what everyone wants to see, and if the means of centralizing power are slightly poor, they may face an even greater catastrophe. The geographical location of the three countries is just connected into a triangle, and the so-called triangle has stability. Xiao Shui's pattern that has not been broken for so many years since the First World War has his own reasons, otherwise why wasn't it four parts of the world and five parts of the world at the beginning?
Obviously, my remarks were also strongly despised by Tang Huan.
Tethering the wind and lightning to the banyan tree at the foot of the mountain, Tang Huan and I walked up the long staircase with no return.
A few days before King Xiao came here, Xuanshan was bound to be blocked, and there were guards from the Imperial Forest Army everywhere, and it was unlikely that he would hide here before the sixth day of the new year, so he couldn't shave his head and pretend to be a monk.
Until the top of the mountain, I found that there was a cliff behind the Changqing Temple, and the clouds and mist on the opposite side of the cliff could not be seen really, and I raised my hand to throw the non-return on my shoulder towards the depths of the clouds, and after a while, I flew back without returning.
I was about to ask about the situation on the other side, but I heard it whisper, "Bastard!"
raised his hand and wanted to slap it, but who knew that it flashed deftly, so the slap fell on Tang Huan's face impartially.
"That...... I ......" Seeing that his face was pale, I was so frightened that I quickly took two steps back: "I was going to fight and not return, but it dodged ......"
It didn't fall on my shoulder, and pecked my earlobe with its pointed white beak, I was stunned by Tang Huan's heart, and I didn't dare to move. Seeing that he slowly raised his hand, he said in his heart, he is really ungraceful, so he has to fight back.
Who knew that his sleeve flickered in front of my eyes, and he grabbed it in his hand before he returned. He rounded his arm and threw it to the other side as soon as he let go, and said indignantly: "I'll let you dodge!" ”
Sweat dripped down my forehead......
After flying back again, it was obviously much more honest, and after a few strokes in the air, it honestly fell back on Tang Huan's shoulder.
Tang Huan held his chin, pondered for a moment, and said, "There is another hill on the opposite side, which is slightly lower than our side. Also, there is someone on the other side. ”
"Anyone?" I was so shocked that I almost fell off a cliff.
"We thought of a way to do it, and someone seemed to have thought of it before us. Let's go, go and see where it is sacred. Tang Huan turned around and hurried down the mountain, so I had to speed up my pace to keep up.
I have always felt that poisoning is a craft, and the poisoning technique is exquisite, and those who are undetectable are superior. And I, the best of the best, actually trekked through mountains and rivers to do physical work here, and I should have begged the master to teach me some martial arts to strengthen my body, so as to save climbing a mountain and almost lose half of my life.
When I rode a horse from the south of Mt. Genshan to the foot of the mountain to the north, it was already dark. In the afterglow of the setting sun, he was about to walk up the mountain, when suddenly a white figure flashed out from behind a tree trunk, and the six eyes were facing each other, and all three of them were stunned in place.
"Weiyang, why are you here?" I'd love to see him, but it's weird to see him in a place like this, right?
Weiyang remained silent and stood with his hands in his hands: "Then why are you here?" ”
"Now that we are asking you, you had better explain it honestly, are you from Lou or Xiao? What the hell are you doing here? Tang Huan walked up to Weiyang with a little anger, raised his right hand and patted him on the shoulder.
I secretly said that it was not good, how could I not see his tricks, he patted Weiyang on the shoulder and hid a very thin poisonous needle in the palm of his right hand, because the tip of the needle was too thin and would not hurt, so Weiyang would not notice it.
Weiyang lowered his eyes, and the smile in his eyes flashed: "If I say that I am here to go to Qingqing, do you believe it or not." ”
"Don't believe it!" Tang Huan said categorically: "You are now highly poisoned, it is better to tell the truth, otherwise even if you want to say it later, I am afraid that I will not be able to return to the sky." ”
Weiyang's expression tightened, and his face suddenly lost blood: "Despicable!" ”
"Senior brother, what are you doing? Hurry up and detoxify him! He's not a bad guy, you forgot that he saved my life, how can you do this to him? I grabbed Tang Huan's sleeve desperately, so anxious that tears were about to fall.
Tang Huan shook off my hand and said earnestly: "Tassel, you are not deeply involved in the world, and you don't understand the sinister nature of people's hearts at all. The first time I saw this Weiyang, I thought there was something wrong with him, and now let him explain it clearly, and when he identifies the enemy and himself, I will give him the antidote. ”
Weiyang's brows furrowed, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead. He supported the trunk of the tree with his hand, barely straightened up, and his gaze swept over me and stayed on Tang Huan: "My identity is suspicious, then your identity is not suspicious?" I haven't questioned you yet......"
Weiyang sat down on the ground before he could finish his words, and I hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but his head was tilted, and a mouthful of blood spat on my skirt.
