Chapter Seventy-Three: The Mysterious Man in the House
Ye Qiu immediately grabbed the knocker and knocked on the door hard, and soon there was a noisy footstep in the door, Ye Qiu said happily: "Senior sister, look, as soon as I knocked on the door, the person came out." ”
Just as the gate was about to open, suddenly countless soldiers guarding the imperial city ran out of the city in the distance, holding swords, guns and weapons in their hands, and surrounded Ye Qiu and Xia Ling from different directions.
Ye Qiu was startled and hurriedly said, "Senior sister, someone is here." Ye Qiu spoke, guarding against those soldiers, and was already ready to exhale the blue light sword. But he heard a voice from inside the gate, and said in unison, "My lord." The voice was filled with awe and respect.
Ye Qiu turned around and saw that the door of this courtyard had been opened, and at this time, at the gate of the courtyard, there were more than a dozen neatly dressed eunuch attendants of the Tang Kingdom, these attendants were usually in charge of the chores in this courtyard, but it seemed that these people seemed to know Xia Ling.
Xia Ling didn't have time to take care of the attendants inside the door, he said to Ye Qiu anxiously, "It must be that your reckless knock on the door just now alarmed these Praetorian guards inside the city wall. ”
Ye Qiu heard Xia Ling say this, his face was slightly red, and he was very embarrassed, Xia Ling had to take out the token again at this time, and when those soldiers saw it, they left and retreated.
Ye Qiu didn't dare to mess around anymore, he had never been to the palace, he still had to be careful here, the palace at the feet of the Son of Heaven was like walking on thin ice, there was such a sentence when he sang in the tea city when he was a child, but it was too long, I can't remember clearly, I only remember these few words.
The attendants at the gate of the courtyard have already made way for a road, and everyone has been keeping their heads down, it really seems to be sung in an opera, as if they are walking on thin ice, Ye Qiu followed Xia Ling into the courtyard, the courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers, walking on the tree-lined path paved with bricks and tiles, the bamboos on both sides of the road had grown so long that they were about to cover half a day, Ye Qiu praised and said: "Sure enough, it is a secluded and secluded, a good place for self-cultivation, and the master of the senior sister must also be a person who can live." ”
Xia Ling said: "There are not many people here, but when I first came here when I was a child, I usually hoped that someone could talk to, but it suffocated me at that time." Xia Ling spoke, but a smile already appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Ye Qiu said: "Children like to be lively, I see that the attendants at the door just now seem to be very scared when they see you, I thought they would enthusiastically lead the way." ”
Xia Ling said: "How can it be, there are no more than ten people who can really walk into this place all year round, and not everyone can come in casually." ”
Ye Qiu said in surprise: "Senior sister, what you said is true, what kind of person is your master, this is the palace, and it is a place where only high-ranking officials and nobles can come, you said that only so few people can come in, then your master is really expensive, I guess, maybe it is the emperor's teacher, or what." Ye Qiu looked at Xia Ling again, wanting to know the answer, at this time, Ye Qiu casually pulled a bamboo leaf from the bamboo on the side of the road, sipped it in his mouth, and kept sipping the taste with his lips, eating with relish, this was his casual habit.
Xia Ling whispered: "Okay, don't ask, it's almost time to get there, be quiet." Ye Qiu found out that he was still holding a bamboo leaf, he quickly spit out the bamboo leaf, this unconscious habit is not good, it affects the image, and when others see it, they will definitely feel that they are from a small place, and now that they have come to the palace, they must be like Xia Ling, they have to have a little temperament, so that people have to look like a person with status, when Ye Qiu thought of this, a sense of pride somehow rose in his heart, and he was more confident when he walked.
The yard went deeper, but the more dim it felt, there were more and more bamboos, all of them were towering and tall, and there were many other trees mixed with bamboo on both sides of the road just now, at this time they were all bamboo, a large piece of green, and the bamboo leaves rustled in the wind.
A well-shaped room appeared in the distance, but it may have been too old and slightly dilapidated, Xia Ling stood at this time. Ye Qiu looked at him, Xia Ling frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about something in his heart, Ye Qiu hurriedly asked, "Senior sister, are you uncomfortable?"
Xia Ling didn't answer immediately, and after a while, Xia Ling soothed his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I'm using the magic of thousands of miles to transmit sounds." ”
Ye Qiu had only heard Xia Ling talk about the Thousand Miles Transmission Technique before, but he had never seen Xia Ling use it, it turned out that it was in this state when he used the Thousand Miles Transmission Spell, Ye Qiu knew that Xia Ling might be talking to his master, Ye Qiu was about to ask how the communication was, but a voice came from the house: "You are back." ”
Xia Ling heard the voice, the person looked very nervous, and he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Master, it is all my disadvantage and delay the master's orders, and I ask the master for forgiveness." ”
When Ye Qiu heard Xia Ling say this, he was also shocked in his heart, why did Xia Ling say it so seriously, what forgiveness, as if his master would punish him, Ye Qiu was also a little worried about Xia Ling.
The people in the house said, "What you were sent to do this time, you did a good job, I am very satisfied, you have grown up." ”
When Xia Ling heard this, his face became joyful, and he said: "It's all taught by the master since childhood, this time I went to Yunwuling, and I also learned a lot of skills, but unfortunately I came back in such a hurry, I wanted to stay for a few more years." ”
Ye Qiu listened to Xia Ling's master praise Xia Ling, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, Xia Ling's master was not an ordinary person, he could just use such a purple light to shoot the thing in the sky that didn't know if it was a person or a monster, his spell cultivation must have been superb, in case something suddenly bad happened, he couldn't help Xia Ling at all.
The person in the room said: "You are now a disciple of Yunwuling, the accident that happened is just a misunderstanding between you and them, in fact, you are also a little anxious, there have been many major events in Tang Kingdom recently, I can't be busy for a while, I didn't instruct you how to deal with your affairs, so that the misunderstanding between you and the disciple of Yunwuling deepened." ”
Xia Ling couldn't understand it, and said: "Master, the disciples of Yunwuling are chasing me closely, and I don't know how to explain it to them, after all, I have indeed been communicating with my master for thousands of miles, so I just want to run first." ”
The tone of the people in the room softened a little at this time, and said: "You reacted temporarily, you are very smart, this is also human nature, there is nothing to say, but the things that should be clearly explained still have to be made clear." ”
Xia Ling said: "Then, please ask the master for some advice, I understand, and then go to Yunwuling, explain it clearly to them, and avoid misunderstanding." ”
The man in the house said, "They have come." ”
