Chapter 667: The Origin
The old man Qing wanted a pair of old eyes and a flash of surprise, he said with a smile: "Your nobleman, this is really going to ask the old man me, the old man has been an orphan since he was a child, this name was taken by his deceased parents, what does it mean, the old man doesn't understand." ”
Hearing this answer, Lu Hanjiang didn't react, just looked at him with a smile, Qing wanted to see that the other party didn't react, and after hesitating for a while, he asked again: "The noble man cares so much, I don't know what's wrong with the name of the old man?" ”
After a moment of silence, Lu Hanjiang laughed and said: "Qing Yao, Qing Girl, Green Waist Daughter, this is the name of the Jade Girl, I am just curious why the old man will use the name of a woman."
Qing Yao was slightly stunned, and then his expression relaxed, and he smiled bitterly: "The noble man smiled, the old man's parents are farmers, Xu took this name casually, but I didn't know that there was such a meaning behind this name." ”
"Oh, what a coincidence."
Lu Hanjiang seemed to mention it casually, he saw it and saluted: "The old man is relieved, the housemate has caused this nameless disaster to the old man today, and he will be responsible for it in the end, if the old man has any requirements, please open your mouth." ”
Qing wanted to say no need, Lu Hanjiang shirked the other party a few more times, and then asked to leave, he took the two girls back to the inn to rest, and then secretly instructed Cui Yixiao, who was accompanying him, to fetch some things for him.
Cui Yixiao was also puzzled when he first heard what Lu Hanjiang wanted, but he was quiet by nature, and he would not raise doubts at this time, since the adult had orders, he just did it.
So, after returning to the room after dinner in the evening, Yongle saw Lu Hanjiang reading "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" with a lamp.
Yongle didn't feel any strange about Lu Hanjiang's interest, after all, she had already seen it in the study at home, and the entire bookshelf was almost full of miscellaneous anecdotes, or Qimen gossip, anyway, the Confucian classics were only the "Analects" given by Luo Fuzi from beginning to end.
It's still early, and Yongle's lively personality will definitely not be able to sleep, so she has nothing to do when she walks around, so she simply lies on Lu Hanjiang's back and reads with him.
But after all, this is just Lu Hanjiang's personal interest, and Yongle felt bored without reading two pages.
However, just when she was about to lose interest, she found that Lu Hanjiang was looking at this page over and over again, and there was such a description between the lines, which made her read it unconsciously-
"Ten miles to the east, it is said that the mountain of Qingyao is the secret capital of the emperor...... Qing Yao? Eh, isn't that the name of the old man today? Yongle said in amazement.
"Well, yes," Lu Hanjiang closed the book and said with a smile: "I think I've heard this name somewhere, and I have the impression that they found these books, and it seems that I am indeed not mistaken." ”
"Qingyao, Qingyao's mountain, it turns out that this is what it means."
Yongle suddenly said, she is a royal princess, naturally she has read books, she was also strange at first, the so-called Qingyao is a green girl, a green waist jade girl, is the rumored goddess in charge of frost and snow, how could a big man take such a name.
Lu Hanjiang explained to her: "It seems that this is the case, it is said that there is a special kind of grass on the Qingyao Mountain, which is shaped like blue grass, with square stems, yellow flowers, and red fruits, and people can make their complexion beautiful when they eat it." ”
Yongle is a woman, hearing that this fairy grass can beautify her face, her two eyes immediately became flashing, Lu Hanjiang smiled dumbly, pointed his finger at the other party's head, and said: "This is just a legend, no one knows where the mountain of Qingyao is." ”
"Oh......" Yongle lowered his head in disappointment.
Lu Hanjiang put down the book, then looked at the sky outside, got up and said to Yongle, "I'll go out." ”
In the blink of an eye in Yongle, before he could say that he could bring her with him, Lu Hanjiang had already turned into a gust of wind and left from the door, and by the way, he also closed the door.
Yongle was stunned, and after a while, she went back to bed to rest by herself.
......
After Lu Hanjiang left the inn, he took a few steps on the eaves of the house, and came to the outside of the city in a few ups and downs, Jinyiwei had already prepared horses here, Lu Hanjiang rode it, and went all the way to the trail into the deep forest.
In about a quarter of an hour, Lu Hanjiang reined in the horse rope, and quickly lit countless torches around him, and the brocade guards hidden in the darkness all appeared, illuminating this dark forest with the fire in his hand.
"My lord, over here." One of the brocade-clothed guards bowed over to lead the way for Lu Hanjiang.
After walking a few steps forward, Lu Hanjiang came to a tomb, although the tomb in the mountain forest was desolate, it was cleaned up, and the weeds around it were not growing, and it was obvious that someone came to clean it from time to time.
Lu Hanjiang ordered someone to illuminate this tomb with firelight, and he looked down to see that the name of the deceased was engraved on the tablet - Xun Yingge.
Lu Hanjiang stared at the tombstone, and after a moment, he waved his hand, and the brocade guards on both sides immediately stepped forward, holding shovels and shovels, and began to dig up the grave.
The Jinyi guard moved quickly, and soon the coffin in the tomb was revealed, and several people struggled to move it outside.
One of them pinched his nose and stepped forward to take a look at the coffin that had been buried in the soil for several years, but it was very well preserved, looking at the half-new coffin, his brows furrowed, and he turned back to Lu Hanjiang and said, "My lord, it seems that something is wrong." ”
Lu Hanjiang stepped forward to take a look and asked, "What do you think?" ”
The Jinyi Wei who came with him is a good hand at handling eucalyptus, and he pointed out the problem with one sentence: "My lord, this person is a thin burial, and the day of burial has been more than ten years ago, and the corpse must have been corrupted long ago, and even with this coffin is not spared, but you can see ......"
Lu Hanjiang followed his direction, saw the half-new coffin, understood what he meant, so he nodded slightly and ordered, "Open it and take a look." ”
"Yes."
A few brocade guards pried the coffin open, and someone covered their mouths and noses and stepped forward to take a look, and immediately turned around and reported: "My lord, there are only some clothes inside, and there are no corpses!" ”
Lu Hanjiang narrowed his eyes slightly, and after muttering for a while, he turned around and left, leaving the last command by the way: "Clean up this place." ”
"Yes." The brocade guard behind him heard this, and immediately started to restore the tomb again.
And Lu Hanjiang quickly returned to the city, he did not return to the inn directly, but took advantage of the night to sneak into the academy, if it was really the same as he expected, then that person should be waiting for him at this moment.
Sure enough, when Lu Hanjiang came to the academy, all the lights in the courtyard were lit, and the academy was already empty, so naturally he wouldn't hold the lights at night, and the only one who would do this was this old man Qingyao who met during the day.
Lu Hanjiang fell with the wind, and a demonic wind blew out nearly half of the lights in the courtyard, he stood in the shadows, looking at Qing Yao, who was leaning in the lights, wearing a green shirt, waiting for him.
"You found out." Qing Yao's voice was neither sad nor joyful, and the muddy old eyes were extremely bright at the moment, shocked, helpless, fearful, and hopeful.
