Chapter 109: Another Mutation
Xiyun couldn't sleep, so he got up and sneaked into the girl's room to wait for news.
At the third moment of the ugly month, Xiyun and the two fell asleep on the table.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Tian Zhenzhen was awakened, stood up and was about to shout, but the girl quickly covered her mouth.
"Don't scream, it's me!"
Tian Zhenzhen's eyes were full of joy, and she lit a candle, and the girl let go of her hand, took off her black headscarf, and sat on the side of the table.
Tian Zhenzhen hurriedly poured her a cup of tea, and the girl picked it up and drank it all.
At this time, Xiyun also woke up leisurely, and when he saw the girl sitting opposite, he immediately woke up for seven minutes.
"You're back. How's it going? ”
The girl did not speak, and deliberately hung the two of them.
Tian Zhenzhen was a little anxious, shaking her, and the girl glanced at her, "You want to shake me apart." ”
With that, she took out a small box from her bosom and placed it on the table.
"This is what I found in the dark brick behind the pyre, your father really knows how to hide things, I touched around it, but I didn't find it, and I was almost found by the vigil, but I then touched it again along the corner of the wall, and in the middle of the place, I touched a slightly raised wall brick, I used a little force, the brick moved, and after taking it out, I touched the box."
The three of them focused their eyes on the palm-sized box, Xiyun took the candle and put it on the box, and now, the appearance of the box can be seen more carefully.
This is a red brocade accessory box, looking at this fabric, it is a fine brocade.
Xiyun thought that Tian Zhenzhen would be eager to open the box, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't move.
"Really, are you okay?" Xiyun asked with concern.
For some reason, Tian Zhenzhen looked at the box in front of her, and suddenly lost the courage to open it, in this box, was the only thing left to her by her biological parents.
She thought it was just an object, just get your hands on it, and look at it. But at this moment, she realized that this object was inextricably entangled for her, and she had a trace of fear and a trace of inexplicable expectation.
Tian Zhenzhen took a deep breath, took the box, his hands trembled a little, Xiyun and the girl held her nervous hand at the same time and smiled at her.
Tian Zhenzhen plucked up his courage and opened the box in one go.
She picked up the jade pendant in the box and put it under the candle flame to look at it carefully.
"This jade pendant seems to have been broken in half, and this should be half of it."
Xiyun saw that the emerald jade pendant was full of sharp corners, indicating that this jade pendant should be a complete jade pendant broken into pieces, why did Tian Zhenzhen's parents put the broken jade pendant next to her.
"You don't see it like a swallow." The girl saw a flying swallow carved in the semi-circular jade pendant, not that one wing was not there.
"Really." Xiyun also looked at it, and it was really in the form of a flying swallow.
Feiyan's jade pendant is not a style worn by ordinary people, and this figure should be special.
Tian Zhenzhen held the rope of the jade pendant under the candle flame and turned it a few times.
Thinking in her heart, she was very puzzled why her parents kept such a piece of broken jade for themselves.
Looking at the two of them who were deep in thought, the girl reminded, "Tomorrow is Academician Ye's class, so let's take a break." ”
As soon as he heard Academician Ye, Xiyun came back to his senses from his contemplation, it seemed that it was late at night, and if he didn't sleep, if he slept in Academician Ye's class, it would be miserable.
She hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and went back to the side room to sleep.
But she was able to fall asleep so quickly, still thinking about Tian Zhenzhen's jade pendant, it stands to reason that if Tian Zhenzhen's parents sincerely abandoned her, why give her a broken jade pendant, there must be something strange about it.
Tian Zhenzhen was also sleepless, touching the somewhat cold jade pendant in his hand, and feeling a little melancholy in his heart.
"Zhenzhen, go to sleep quickly, we'll talk about it tomorrow, you be careful of the pinnacles on the jade pendant, it's not good to stab your hand."
The girl turned her head to look at Tian Zhenzhen's bed, she knew that this girl must be groping with a jade pendant.
"Got it, girl, thank you really this time." Tian Zhenzhen also looked at the position of the girl's bed, in the dark room, although they couldn't see each other clearly, but both of them smiled heartily.
Tian Zhenzhen remembered that he was not particularly friendly to the girl before, and he felt a little guilty, and secretly thought in his heart that the three of them must share weal and woe in the future.
This night, the three of them woke up and fell asleep.
But Xiao Jingyu couldn't sleep all night because he received a letter from the capital.
The content of the letter made him feel uneasy, why did he want to go to the capital with the "Heluo Star Map" at this time.
He opened the secret letter again, and it was indeed a jade seal.
Could it be that there are any variables in the capital, he has long known that the emperor's jade body is not safe, could it be that he has already arrived......
However, the heads of the courts in previous dynasties were not allowed to enter Beijing without being called, let alone with that picture, whether this secret letter was written by the emperor or by someone with a heart.
Xiao Jingyu's brows were deeply locked, his pupils shrunk, and the cold light on his face suddenly rose.
If it's true, he must be going, if it's fake, don't talk about him, I'm afraid this academy will also be poisoned.
This trip to the capital must go.
And sooner rather than later.
Xiao Jingyu took advantage of the cover of the night, jumped a few times, and flew towards a cliff in the back mountain.
When he arrived at the cliff, he gently pushed his palm on a stone wall, and a small hole was opened in a low part of the stone wall that could accommodate one person.
He dodged inside, lit a fire cracker, and the hole closed again.
He stepped on a fixed point, leaped over the trap in the cave, and reached the door of the dark room.
After entering the room, a player lit the candlesticks on both sides of the middle couch.
He walked to the shelf on the right, took out the "Heluo Star Chart", a palm-sized scroll, and hid it in his sleeve.
After thinking about it, he decided to carry the picture with him, and for some reason, this time, he had a sense of foreboding.
The thought of leaving the academy tomorrow made him a little reluctant.
This place, he used to want to escape, but now, he really wants to leave, but he has different feelings in his heart.
There is also the picture of the guardianship of the past generations, which is like the light of their life, a kind of mission.
After staying in the cave for a while, Xiao Jingyu still returned to the dormitory before dawn.
In order not to make people suspicious, Xiao Jingyu asked the Qi Supervision Institute to issue a notice that the academy would select six people to follow Xiao Zhangyuan to the capital to participate in the "Autumn Meeting".
The "Autumn Meeting" is an autumn essay and poetry debate held by the Imperial Forest Academy in Beijing.
In previous years, this "autumn meeting" was only attended by the Royal Forest Academy and Guangling Academy, although the Shiqi Academy would receive an invitation, but never participated, this time to see the notice, everyone was also surprised.
However, thinking of being able to go with Xiao Zhangyuan, everyone was naturally a little looking forward to it.
As soon as he saw the announcement, Ye Tianqi's face was full of displeasure, and he ran to Chaoxi Pavilion.
"There are still some days before the autumn meeting, why not carefully select once."
Ye Tianqi's face was dull, Xiao Jingyu decided to be so hasty this time, he didn't even inform him in advance, so he asked the Qi Supervision Institute to issue a notice.
"Academician Ye, this matter has not been discussed with the academicians, and I have not considered it, but this selection is too lengthy, so it is better for each of the academicians to recommend one person and go to participate.
This time, I participated in the autumn meeting mainly to let the students of the college gain some knowledge. ”
"And this time, I will take them there, and I have to ask Academician Ye to take care of the affairs in the academy."
Xiao Jingyu originally wanted Xiao Yi to go to Ye Tianqi, but he didn't expect him to come uninvited.
Hearing this, Ye Tianqi couldn't say anything more, "Don't worry, I will do my duty well." ”
He looked at Xiao Jingyu and always felt that his words were a little like a trust, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.
