Chapter 96: Mission (4K, Ask for Pink Ticket)
"Huang San, what's going on? What are you recruiting people to do? The boss in the red mask asked in a deep voice, with some dissatisfaction in his voice, "Didn't I say that you shouldn't get together recently?" ā
"Yes, Green Four's death has not yet been settled, what are you going to do?" Ziqi, a woman wearing a purple mask, also knocked on the table.
Originally, there were seven of them, but the green masked Green Four died suddenly last year, so they decided to hide for the time being and stop moving.
"Green four is innocent. He betrayed the Guardians, damn it. The second orange in the orange mask said coldly.
This man seldom speaks, but when he does, he leaves no room for questioning.
Ziqi, the woman wearing a purple mask, opened her mouth a little unwillingly, but when she saw the boss in a red mask looking at her coldly, she had to shut up and look down at the table in front of her.
Huang San, who was wearing a yellow mask, waved his hand, suppressed everyone's dispute, and said, "I invited everyone here today because I heard a message on the street. ā
"What's the news to bring us all together? You'd better be really in trouble, or people won't be playing with you with their heads. Qing Go, who was wearing a cyan mask, rolled his eyes, very disdainful.
"Important news, of course." Huang San, who was wearing a yellow mask, hurriedly said, "Everyone has heard about the 'lost pearl' of the Holy Lord that has been rumored recently, right?" ā
"Well, I heard, what's wrong?" The woman in the purple mask sat up straight and became a little interested.
All eyes were on them.
Today's Holy Emperor Xia Zhao, more than ten years ago, regardless of his ancestral teachings, fell in love with Zheng Xiangrong, a girl from the Four Great Mansions. Back then, it was the focus of their guardians.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager, it would be too powerful. They were almost going to kill Emperor Xia Zhao and Zheng Xiangrong together......
"This daughter of his, who has been left behind. I heard people say today that it may be Zheng Xiangrong's birth back then! Huang San, who was wearing a yellow mask, leaned forward excitedly and spit out the heavy news as if he was talking about a secret.
"What?!"
"Wouldn't it?!"
"Didn't that kid die in the first place?!"
Everyone's eyes looked at the boss in the red mask, Chiichi.
"Boss, what do you say?"
They all knew that it was the boss Chiyi who executed the child with his own hands.
The boss in the red mask nodded, "Of course it's dead, I've checked it myself." After a pause, he added, "The child was born not long ago." She was gouged out of the eye, and when I snatched her up, she was already out of breath. ā
"It's dead, indeed."
"It's really dead. Later, she was also thrown off the cliff by her mother Zheng Xiangrong herself, which I saw with my own eyes. ā
Fortunately, wearing masks, everyone couldn't see the expressions on their faces.
But there was silence in the room for a while, and it could be seen that everyone was still a little uncomfortable.
āā¦ā¦ Boss, is it right or wrong for us to do this? Blue Six, who was wearing a blue mask, asked softly.
"Of course it's true." The boss in the red mask said categorically, "We are here to protect the people of Great Xia!" Protect the land! And not just to protect the royal family! ā
"But...... But...... Why kill these newborn children? They're still kids! Nothing wrong has been done. "Qing Wu wearing a cyan mask is also a little unbearable." In order to protect Great Xia, I would rather go to the battlefield and fight the enemy with real swords! Why do we stay in the dark? Can't get along with these newborn children?! ā
Qing Wu, who was wearing a cyan mask, sneered, and said in a weird manner: "Yes, I have always been puzzled. If the royal family and the four major princes combine to produce an heir, it will deal a devastating blow to the interests of Great Xia, and I don't think we need to keep an eye on these people. -- Let's kill all the people of the royal family and the four major princes, and if we don't leave any of them, won't the crisis in Great Xia be solved?! We don't have to keep staring at whether any of them are full of food, we have to get a baby out together! ā
"Shut up! You dare to question the Guardian's mission?! Chiyi's voice became extremely low, like a murderous wind blowing from hell, and everyone couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts when they heard this voice.
"The Guardian was originally created by the founding emperor of Great Xia. Have you forgotten what oath you swore and what price you paid when you joined the Guardians?! The boss in the red mask said awe-inspiringly, "Repeat it to me!" ā
"Evil from heaven destroys my people! Seven colors gather, save the world! The royal family is in the center, and the prince is protected! The fallen people have been eliminated, and Daxia is worry-free! The five of them immediately stood up and chanted in unison.
The boss in the red mask bowed slightly, "Okay, you still remember this oath, remember the price we paid to join the Guardians, don't question our mission again!" Great Xia really needs the royal family and the four great powers, but Great Xia really can't have heirs who fuse the bloodlines of the two! ā
āā¦ā¦ What is the purpose of such an heir? Why is there a threat to the interests of Great Xia? The woman in the purple mask seemed to be particularly curious, and couldn't help but ask.
"That's not something you should know. To be a guardian is to stick to your mission. The boss in the red mask glanced at her, "Just wait for the fallen people to be exterminated, and our mission will be completed." That's all for today. I'll go to the cliff where the kid was thrown off in two days and check it again. If there are rumors on the streets, you should check where they came from, and whether someone wants to make waves. ā
"The change of imperial power has nothing to do with us. Don't be troublesome, everyone. Orange Er, who was wearing an orange mask, reminded him lightly, asking everyone to check and know what was going on, and there was no need to make a move.
Everyone nodded, and one by one they left the house.
ā¦ā¦
In the outer study of Zhou Huaixuan of the Divine General's Mansion, Zhou Xianbai was gossiping with Zhou Huaixuan with a smile: "The eldest prince, there has been a lot of rumors outside recently, saying that the saint had a 'lost pearl' outside, and also said that it was either born by the princess or by the queen's mother." -- What a little joy to die! How many years has it been since the queen died, and these people still haven't let her go! ā
Zhou Huaixuan lowered his eyes and looked at the military book on the bookcase, and his slender fingers gradually grasped the side of the military book. Said lightly: "Really? What else? ā
Belch. Zhou Xianbai's eyes widened. -- The eldest son, who has always been cold and self-controlled, is willing to listen to him gossip!
Oops! Hi Hi Mori!
Zhou Xianbai immediately gushed. He carefully recounted all the rumors he heard outside, and finally said: "I see this, eighty percent of people are restless, and I don't know what kind of heart it is!" ā
Zhou Huaixuan said lightly, thought for a while, and said, "Steward Zhou sent something over, and you take it to the young grandmother." ā
Zhou Xianbai responded, and hurriedly went out to call a few servants. Carry his things to Qingyuan Hall in the backyard.
ā¦ā¦
"Grandma Da Shao, this is the eldest son's order to send in." Zhou Xianbai smiled and said, "It was sent by the steward of Zhou early this morning, it should be fresh game sent from the Zhuangzi below, if you want to drink pheasant soup is the best ingredient." ā
Sheng Siyan nodded and said with a smile: "I was still thinking about pheasant cub soup to drink, but the small kitchen only has pickled pheasants, and there is no umami." As he spoke, he instructed Hibiscus: "Go and ask the cook to stew me a pot of pheasant soup, and I don't need to put anything else." As long as it's fresh and sweet. ā
Hibiscus turned around and went out to command.
Sheng Siyan gossiped a few words with Zhou Xianbai and asked him, "Is the eldest prince busy today?" ā
"Not busy. The eldest prince also listened to me talk about the outside today. I'm very interested! He straightened his chest and had an air of "I'm gossiping, I'm proud."
Sheng Siyan couldn't help but smile and asked, "What's the matter?" Can you tell me about it? ā
"Of course!" Zhou Xianbai knew that Zhou Huaixuan sent him in to relieve Sheng Siyan's boredom, and these gossips and gossips on the market were the best way to pass the time.
"Tell me about it." Sheng Siyan smiled and asked Zhou Xianbai to sit down in front of her, "That's a nice thing, I'll soak you in a good red robe!" ā
"Young grandmother, I'm going to drink this big red robe today!" Zhou Xianbai rolled up his sleeves and made a storyteller, "Today, I will talk about the most sensational 'lost pearl' of the saint in the capital." ā
"What?!" Sheng Siyan's heart trembled, and his voice changed, "What 'lost pearl', what does it have to do with the saint?!" ā
"Don't worry, young grandma, listen to Xianbai!" Zhou Xianbai almost knocked twice with an allegro in his hand, waved his arm, and said very imposingly: "It is said to be like this." In addition to the eldest brother born to the princess, the saint once gave birth to an eldest daughter, but she was in exile and said that she was fostered in someone else's home, no one knows what is going on. Everyone guesses who gave birth to this child! Some people say it's the princess, some people say it's the queen's mother! Hahahaha, don't you say it's funny?! The queen mother has been dead for more than ten years, and everyone knows that the tablet of the queen mother who is married to the saint enters the door, how can there be a child in the first place? You say yes?! ā
Sheng Siyan tried his best to hold back the turbulent waves in his heart, and the expression on his face was a little stiff, "Really? How did you think of the queen mother? Sheng Siyan asked retortingly with some reluctance.
"You don't know. Gossip, that's generally the case. When you see a steamed bun on the road, you can think of a murder case. Don't think about it, it has nothing to do with us, just have fun. Zhou Xianbai said with a smile.
Sheng Siyan nodded slowly and said with a smile: "Exactly, it has nothing to do with us." And he said, "What about the eldest prince?" When the eldest prince heard this, did he say anything? ā
Zhou Xianbai shook his head, "Where would the eldest prince pay attention to such nonsense?" didn't say anything, just let the little one send something to the big and young grandmother. ā
Sheng Siyan smiled, "That's good." ā
After Zhou Xianbai left, Sheng Siyan sat alone in the warm pavilion until the evening when he was holding the lamp.
Barley came in and lit the lamp, and said, "Grandma, the eldest prince just ordered someone to come in, saying that he had something urgent to go out and would not come back today." After a pause, he said, "You don't have to go to Songtao Garden to eat at night, what do you want to eat?" ā
Sheng Siyan said lazily: "Cook some porridge and fry a few pheasant cubs." Although the soup is good, it is not suitable to drink porridge. ā
Barley answered, and went to the small kitchen to order tonight's dishes.
Sheng Siyan sent someone to Songtao Garden to tell Old Man Zhou, saying that Zhou Huaixuan had something urgent to go out, so they wouldn't go over to dinner.
ā¦ā¦
When Songtao Yuan was having dinner, Grandma Wu San glanced at the table and said with a smile: "Huh? Our eldest son and eldest grandmother are not coming to dinner again? ā
"Xuan'er went out for something and hasn't come back yet." Feng Shi said with a smile, "The third brother and sister care about them so much, when Xuan'er comes back, I will let them go to Furong Liuxie to thank them." ā
"Yo! I can't stand that! Sister-in-law, don't fool me! Grandma Wu San said with a smile.
After dinner, when everyone sat down for tea, someone said about the recent rumors in the capital.
"The 'lost pearl' of the saint is outside, and I don't know which one it is." Grandma Hu Er said with a smile, "Then they are going to gain power." ā
"The same cannot be said. The saint never mentioned this child, who knows what's going on? Grandma Wu San snorted and said disdainfully.
Old Man Zhou sat on top with his eyelids drooping, finished a cup of tea slowly, and said, "This matter has nothing to do with us, everyone is still cautious in words and deeds." As he spoke, he looked at Grandma Wu San and Zhou Sizong again, "Your children are not too young, when do you plan to marry the children?" ā
The topic turned to the family affairs of Zhou Huaili's three brothers, and the attention of the people in the house was immediately diverted.
Old Madam Zhou immediately said: "Yes, Huaili was grown up by me." Now it's more than twenty years old, if you don't say kiss to him, my wife will go out in person! ā
Zhou Huaili glanced at his mother a little anxiously.
Grandma Wu San said curtly: "I'm already optimistic, I'm talking about it." Don't worry. ā
"Look, which one?" Mrs. Zhou said with great interest, "We are a talented person, and we are a high-ranking and powerful person, I don't want ordinary girls." ā
Zhou Huaili smiled bitterly: "Grandmother, don't make fun of me." Where am I in a position of authority? The eldest brother is the one who is in high power. General Yipin Zhenguo, I won't be able to catch up in the next life. ā
Old Man Zhou stroked his beard and smiled: "Things that shouldn't be compared, don't compare." ā
"Yes." Zhou Huaili hurriedly stood up, "I don't want to compare with my eldest brother, I just respect my eldest brother." ā
Zhou Chengzong smiled and nodded, "Don't be too humble with Huaili." Your Beijing division garrison has done a good job, and many friends in the military department have told me more than once, saying that you are 'up to the task'! - Work hard! ā
"Really?" Zhou Huaili was overjoyed and said to Zhou Chengzong: "Thank you uncle!" ā
ā¦ā¦
Zhou Huaixuan didn't come back until dawn.
There was dew and cold on his body, and his hair was wet with the mist of the mountains and forests.
Sheng Siyan didn't sleep all night.
"Coming back?" Seeing Zhou Huaixuan walk in, Sheng Siyan hurriedly opened the curtain.
Zhou Huaixuan stopped, "Are you awake?" But looking at Sheng Siyan's blue face and the blue and black under his eyes, his eyebrows frowned slightly, "You didn't sleep?" ā
"Can't sleep." Sheng Siyan got off the bed, walked to Zhou Huaixuan's side, raised his head and asked, "Where have you been?" Did you go to the Eagle Stream? ā
