595.Chapter 595: The Scarlet Valley Wash the sword
Let you dismantle blindly.
Looking at these four flowing words, I suddenly couldn't cry or laugh - this Fu Badai, it seems that I have already calculated that I will always remember this trick, and if I am accurate, I will definitely not be able to open it in advance, and tease me like this!
This first tip was in vain.
I crumpled the white silk into a ball and stuffed it back into my bag.
He is also a famous sage in Shu, a world-renowned scholar of Jixian Palace, although he didn't like him very much before, and he didn't think he behaved grotesquely, but he was just a little different from ordinary people, why is he old now, but he has become an old naughty boy, knowing that the current situation is tense, and he still jokes with me like this.
What if I didn't open it at this time, but really opened it when the Juma Valley was in danger?!
My eyes turned to the remaining twoβthe red and purple sachets.
After thinking about it, it seems to be somewhat understood.
He just made me understand one thing.
Trust Him!
Although he said that he couldn't see through people's hearts, if he really couldn't see through it, how could he leave this first tip to make me jump in stupidly? If he really can't see through it, how dare he stay away from the Juma River Valley and leave only two tips for me? If he really can't see through it, he is not Fu Badai.
He, in fact, saw it too thoroughly!
Thinking of this, I hurriedly moved to the window and lifted the curtain, the carriage was still slowly moving forward, the hundred officials behind were standing, and I couldn't see what the expressions on the faces of those people were from a distance, but only the thin and long figure, one hand gently stroked the gray beard, I seemed to be able to see his vague smile, and even could imagine that he was a little colorful, those eyes must have narrowed slightly, although I couldn't see it, although it was covered with a layer of shadow, but under that layer of shadow, it was the light of wisdom.
Indeed, I am not as wise as him.
Thinking of this, my heart was a little lowered, I put down the curtain and slowly sat to the side, Shui Xiu looked at the expression on my face changed in a short period of time, moved over and said, "My lord, is there something wrong?" β
I shook my head: "It's fine. β
ββ¦β¦β
That being said, although Shui Xiu jumped out of impulse, she was not a stupid girl, this time the spring hunt even the Queen Mother had to go in person, she followed the queen and me in Jingren Palace these days, and she also saw some things clearly, no longer asked, but carefully sat beside me, gently snuggling me.
I know that I have always relied on them these days.
No matter what happened, she and Mama Wu believed in me wholeheartedly, helped me, and suffered a lot for me over the years, I had no way to give them anything, I could only protect them in my limited time and leave them a little more.
Going out of the city from the north gate of the capital, going north along the river, the wind is getting louder and louder day by day, the air is getting drier day by day, and the river water is getting colder day by day.
That's Shuoshan.
I didn't have much time to go to the grassland, but I knew that after bypassing Shuoshan and walking for half a day, it was the Juma River Valley.
I lay by the window, looking at the mountains that stretch for miles, the wide land under the mountain, the new and tender green is like a blanket covering the earth, extending to the edge of the sky, connected with Chutian, there is a feeling that the world is in front of me.
I lay by the window, looking at the vast world and the towering mountains, and I only felt my eyes hot for a while.
Here, there are no red walls and green tiles, no nine-story three halls, and no depressing feelings that make it difficult for me to even breathe.
However, just as I was looking at the scenery almost greedily, the guards on both sides of the carriage sped up a few steps and silently surrounded the convoy.
No one can raid such protection; In the same way, no one can escape from such close watch.
I was silent and didn't speak, only gently lowered the curtain, Shui Xiu has been watching me from the side, and didn't speak, as if he was afraid of irritating me, after a while, there was a sound of water outside, and I heard someone shouting in front of me: "The emperor has an order, the convoy stops and rests." Take a break before heading out. β
The soldiers stopped one after another and said loudly: "Thank you, Emperor! β
As soon as she heard that she stopped to rest, she immediately looked like a little bird that was about to be released from the cage, chirping and laughing and making trouble, and hurriedly ran down from the carriage, but fortunately she still remembered me, helped me out of the carriage, and ran towards the river in front, saying, "My lord, I'll go over there and have a look." β
I stood in the carriage and saw her jubilant, but I smiled and did not speak.
The carriage in front of it had already stopped, and all the officials and concubines had also got out of the carriage.
There are many pampered people in these people, who have never been held back in a carriage for a long time like this, and their faces are somewhat resentful, and I myself am not much better, only to find that my lower body is numb when I get out of the car, and I almost fell down, and hurriedly stretched out my hand to help the carriage.
At this time, Nangong Lizhu also got out of the car.
High-grade officials and mothers, the carriage is naturally different, her carriage is not only exquisite, but also has a lush incense, drifting with the wind, but her face is not very good, maybe because of Nangong Jinhong's injury, her expression is a little gloomy, and a few little palace maids around her serve her carefully.
She got out of the carriage, and as soon as she looked up, she saw me.
ββ¦β¦β
I asked myself if I had nothing to say to her, so I lowered my head to avoid her gaze, but after a while, I could smell the aroma slowly getting stronger, and when I looked up, she was walking right in front of me.
There was no way to avoid it, so I gently saluted her: "Weichen meets Concubine Li." β
She didn't speak, just looked at my carriage, the curtain was lifted, the simplicity inside was unobstructed, her cherry red lips were slightly hooked, and she sneered: "Why bother? β
"......" I just smiled and didn't speak.
Her eyes looked leisurely behind her, the emperor's car was full of people, Pei Yuanhao and Chang Qing also got out of the car, the surrounding attendants hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and after a while, the seat was ready, and some people offered hot tea, pastries and other things, Pei Yuanhao took a sip of tea, raised his head, and looked at the crowd like electricity, and fell on our side.
I said slowly: "Won't Niangniang go over to serve the emperor?" It seems that the emperor is worried about Concubine Li. β
"......" She was stunned and looked up at me, I had already faintly blessed her and retreated.
Nangong Lizhu seemed to glare at me, but she still turned around and walked towards Pei Yuanhao, but Chang Qing, bowed her head and said something to the emperor, the emperor nodded, she stood up, and walked towards this side with a buckle, the two of them passed by in the middle, Nangong Lizhu didn't salute her, just bent her knees lightly.
I watched, my eyebrows tightened.
Chang Qing didn't seem to care, and walked straight up to me, and I hurriedly saluted her: "Niangniang." β
She reached out to help me, looked at my face, and said softly, "Are you okay?" β
"Well, Xia Guan is fine."
"Why don't you go get a bite to eat?"
"The lower officials are not hungry yet."
Chang Qing looked at me, with a faint smile floating on the corner of her mouth: "If you are not hungry, you should eat a little, look at your face, how ugly." β
I smiled a little apologetically, but my eyes were still faintly hanging on that side, Pei Yuanhao took the hot tea from the hand of the Jade Gonggong and served it to the Queen Mother, but Nangong Lizhu squatted down, gently stroked Xiao Nianshen's shoulder, and said something with a smile on his face, but Nianshen has always been a little timid, holding the sleeve of the Queen Mother, and he didn't dare to speak.
Chang Qing broke the golden silk flower cake in his hand, handed half of it to me, and said, "Eat it." β
ββ¦β¦β
I looked down at the pastry in my hand - this is actually a taboo in the palace, but Chang Qing didn't seem to care at all, only eating her own things lightly, I couldn't say anything, I took a careful bite to my mouth, was silent for a while, and said carefully: "Queen Mother." β
"Huh?"
"......" I didn't speak, my eyes looked directly at the Queen Mother and their side, Chang Qing raised her eyebrows, and also looked over.
"Mother, you still have to plan early."
ββ¦β¦β
After a while, she smiled indifferently and only smiled: "You can eat quickly." β
I don't know what she thinks, or, now her mind can't be separated from thinking about Nangong Lizhu, after all, the current spring hunt is the top priority, but - what about after the spring hunt is over? If this time the big thing can be decided, what will she face next, has she ever thought about it?
She was so indifferent, but I didn't want to say anything, I just sighed softly in my heart and turned my head to look ahead. Under the blue sky, the plains are boundless, and the mountains stretch like a lying lion crawling on the earth, giving people a sense of majesty and awe, I looked at it, but saw a col in front of me, the color was different from the dark green mountains around, it was actually red.
"Huh? What is that place? β
Chang Qing also turned his head to look, recognized it for a while, and muttered, "There, it should be the Sword Washing Pool." β
"Sword Washing Pool?" The first time I heard the name, "Is there a lake there?" β
"Nope." Chang Qing said: "I just heard my father mention that in this black land in the north, there is a mountain col that is red, according to legend, after the battle between Emperor Xuanyuan and the Chiyou clan in ancient times, the blood stains on the Xuanyuan sword were washed here. β
"Oh......"
It's just a legend, I don't care much about it, I just feel that in an inky mountain range, this piece of red is particularly eye-catching, and I said casually: "Master Taishi has been here before?" β
"Hmm." Chang Qing nodded: "When my father was young, he was the secretary of the Ministry of War, and every year when the soldiers were free, he would arrange people to come here to practice the army. β
It turned out that this was also the place where the military department trained soldiers.
It's no wonder that the surrounding areas of the capital are all prosperous cities, and if you want to train troops, you naturally have to go to such an open place to set up a formation, I looked up a few more times, and I saw Chang Qing's brows slowly furrowed, as if he remembered something.
I said softly, "Mother, what's wrong?" β
"......" Her expression slowly became a little solemn, and after a while, she muttered: "Now, it seems that it is also the time for military training......
