The result of this soul summoning that King Zhou Yi had placed his last hope on - it was no different from before, a failure. Fortunately, King Zhou Yi was not obviously unhappy, but just sighed gloomily: "Could it be that Ah Ji has really put down the lonely father and son?" ”

Wei Wu's answer is also quite meaningful: "Niang Niang is a heroic and enlightened woman, skilled in the world, wise and insightful, and different from ordinary women. In this way, she also hopes that the king can finally let go of the emperor's personal feelings and focus on state affairs, which is also the blessing of all the people and the happiness of the society. ”------

The nights in autumn and October are longer than before, and when the sky is clear, it is already the time when the market of Hokyo opens. Zhao Bohu sat in the car bucket, only feeling comfortable, and talked and laughed with Kui Duoyou from time to time.

"The king has finally decided not to summon souls anymore, and I can be regarded as letting go of this big stone in my heart. Wei Wu really deserves her reputation, and when she is done, she must be thanked again. "Zhao Bohu is full of spring breeze.

Kui Duoyou was also infected by his good mood, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it will take some time." The king said that the yin qi in the palace was heavy, and he wanted Wei Wu to be responsible for the exorcism of evil spirits, and he would not let her out of the palace if he did not have ten days and half a month. ”

"Well, I can wait. By the way, I went to the East Palace to meet the prince today, and you brought all the letters to Wei Xiaogongzi? ”

"Look, what you say, am I such a reliable person?" The two looked at each other and smiled.

Talking and laughing, he came to the palace gate, and from a distance, he saw the inner attendant Jia pacing there with his arms crossed, and a stretcher covered with a straw mat was placed beside him. Zhao Bohu secretly wondered in his heart, the inner servant Jia, as the personal eunuch of King Zhou, would never appear near the gate of the outer palace, was he waiting for himself?

The two hurriedly got out of the car, and the waiter Jia came forward to salute with a nervous expression, and when he saw Kui Duoyou, he was even more stunned, and then a look of shame appeared on his face. He didn't say much, just waved his hand, and Qi Zhong, who was standing next to the stretcher, lifted the corner of the straw mat, and suddenly a pale and bloodless woman's face appeared - it was Wei Wu!

This surprise is not trivial, Zhao Bohu turned his face and saw that Kui Duoyou was standing there with his mouth open, and he couldn't speak. Or did he inquire first: "What is going on ------ this?" Wei Wu failed to summon the soul, didn't the king say to his face that he didn't care about this matter? ”

The chamberlain Jia shook his head very regretfully: "Alas! You don't know what happened after that------"

It turned out that after summoning Bohu and other courtiers to disperse last night, King Zhou Yi was going to go back to the palace to rest, but Zhou Gongding, who was in charge of cleaning up the aftermath, suddenly became troubled. The gist is that Wei Wu and the other slewed wizards have failed to summon souls, but they are dealt with in two ways, and the king acts like this, I am afraid that he will be dissatisfied with the world.

King Zhou Yi's face was full of fatigue, and he didn't want to entangle with him any longer, and Wei Wu also defended: "The failure of summoning the soul is because the queen's soul does not want to stay in the world, so it can't be summoned." ”

Zhou Gongding also had a statement here, and asked again and again: "How does the Great Witch know that the queen's soul is unwilling to come?" Since he can't be summoned in the world, why don't the great witches go to the Yellow Spring to ask the queen in person for the king? As a patriotic teacher, the Great Witch has clever means, and once boasted that he could freely penetrate the world and the underworld, but now he is unwilling to do his best for the king, what is the reason? ”

Saying this, King Zhou Yi suddenly ignited a glimmer of hope, and repeatedly forced Wei Wu to go to the underworld for him, and also wrote a silk book by himself, and asked Wei Wu to take it, so as to meet Fan himself and tell his parting feelings. With this order, Wei Wu had to drink the dove wine------ the result was ------

The chamberlain Jia shook his head helplessly: "As a result, Grandpa Guo also saw it, the king waited until dawn, and still didn't see Wei Wu wake up, but the body was cold and dead." The king was furious and desperate, and ordered me to take the body out and hand it over to the prince. ”

The five cities of pickaxe Beijing, the east market is the most prosperous, the shops and liquor shops on both sides are lined up one after another, and the people who enter the market are densely gathered in the clouds, and the people in the city are boiling and noisy.

Zhao Bohu accompanied Kui Duoyou for a long time, only followed by two or three guards, but he saw that he had a blue face, and he had no intention of stopping at all, and couldn't help but persuade: "I know you, when you are in a bad mood, you have to borrow wine to drown your sorrows, and you refuse to enter the East Palace, nor do you want to go back to my house." Seeing that this eastern market is coming to an end, you should pick one to enter! ”

Kui Duoyou was stunned for a moment, raised his head and pointed: "Okay!" That's it! ”

I saw a wine sign in front of a mud house not far away, wrinkled, stained, as if it had not been cleaned for many years, and the words "Mei's old shop" written on it were not very clear. Most of the shops in the East Market are wooden heavy buildings, but this old Mei family shop is a single earthen house, surrounded by layers of magnificent pavilions, which is particularly dilapidated.

Zhao Bohu smiled secretly in his heart: "Thousands of choices, I actually found the most dilapidated wine shop in the capital." ”

Walking into the store, a lean guy came forward to greet him: "A few sons, please have a seat inside." ”

The shop is small, with four tables under the east and west walls, and seats made of cattailwood are laid under the tables. On the south side, there was a private seat by a screen, and the black paint on the screen had peeled off, revealing the white wood color inside. Zhao Bohu pointed to the east table and said to the guards, "You sit in the outer room, and I and Duoyou sit in the private room inside." ”

Kui Duoyou looked at his face, and was distracted for a while before he said slowly: "Zi Mumo wants to look down on this shop, there are countless restaurants in the pickaxe capital, but I only prefer one famous dish here." ”

"Oh? What is delicious? "Zhao Bohu is interested.

"Plum carp scorching."

"Why is it called that? Is there a plum blossom in Mo Fei? ”

Kui Duoyou looked fascinated: "There are no plum blossoms, just for the sake of a nice name, but in fact it is alfalfa." The best part of this dish is that the carp is grilled with alfalfa grass instead of the usual charcoal. In the grassland, alfalfa grass is the best forage grass for horses, and when it is used to roast carp, the fish naturally has the aroma of grass. ”

"So, Tayu is using this dish to miss his mother's hometown, right?" Zhao Bohu poured a jue of wine for him: "In fact, there is alfalfa grass in the Central Plains, and it is also given a nickname, because the sun shines on its flowers and shines, and the wind is often sluggish in the middle, so it is also called Huaifeng." ”

"Huaifeng? The wind on the prairie is really something to be missed. Kui Duoyou chewed these two words a few times, took a sip of wine and said: "This name is wonderful!" ”

"Duoyou, could it be that the death of Weiwu made you disappointed in the king, don't you ------" Zhao Bohu's heart tightened, and blurted out: "Don't you want to go back to the grassland again, do you?" "Do you want to separate as soon as we meet?

Kui Duoyou craned his neck, drank all the wine in Juezhong, and said with tears in his eyes: "I carefully escorted Wei Wu along the way, but I didn't want to send her into the ghost gate with my own hands, I knew that I wouldn't come." ”
