Chapter 44: Twin Phoenixes Playing in the Water
Knock –
Knock –
The distant morning bell rang from the depths of Yun'an City.
The small courtyard in the depths of Shuanggui Lane was silent, except for a dark horse, standing quietly on the side of the kitchen.
The door of the main house was closed, and it had not been opened since Luo Ning and Zhe Yunli left.
There were a few more flower pots under the melon shelf, and they were put together with those purchased by Luo Ning, and after two days, the lush green seedlings grew a little stronger.
In the wing room to the west, Night Terror Hall sat on the bed bare-chested, holding gold paper in his hand, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The big bird with white flowers squatted next to the pillow and looked listlessly at the window.
A few days ago, this point folded Yunli had already gotten up, hugged it to feed, and lived with the dignified, obviously there was no such blessing, only two days away, and the thoughts were already lingering in the heart of the bird.
"Twitter......"
After waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the Night Terror Hall, and the bird rolled to the side of the Night Terror Hall, kicked it with its claws, and signaled that it was time to have breakfast.
Night Terror's eyelashes moved slightly, and then he opened his eyes and looked at the gold paper in his hand.
After Luo Ning and Zhe Yunli left, the days became quite monotonous, and the life of these two days was basically staying at home and concentrating on martial arts.
Tianhe Knife, Overlord Gun, Light Skills, and your own knife skills all have to be practiced, and it is still a bit busy to talk about affairs.
Tongshen martial arts are by no means practiced in a day, and the night terror hall is not in a hurry, and in his leisure time, he is pondering the unexpected "Minglong Tu".
According to the decryption methods he knew, such as projection, photocopying, soaking in water, fire, etc., he had nothing to gain, and he had put it on hold for the time being, but when he woke up this morning, he suddenly had an idea and thought of one thing - Ge Zhuzi.
He didn't know much in this life, but he had a lot of messy memories in his previous life, and he knew interesting stories about the sage's 'Gezhuzi'.
Although the way of Gewu was wrong, he still looked at the picture of the 'Three Mountains of Turtles' on the gold paper seriously, and began to 'check the paper' seriously, trying to see the Heavenly Dao Truth contained in it.
It turned out that this method really worked.
Although I didn't see any heavenly reasoning, I don't know if I was dazzled after looking at it for a long time, and I felt that the golden dragon turtle on the picture was moving, and the clouds and mist surrounded by the three mountain peaks seemed to be flowing slowly under the action of light.
After pondering for a long time, he thought that this might be a method of luck, so he closed his eyes and concentrated on it, imagining the various scenes on the picture as a certain part of his body, and trying to connect the 'illusions' he saw in his body.
As soon as he figured out a sprout, he was kicked awake by a bird.
Seeing that the sky was bright, the Night Terror Hall did not rush for a moment, and after writing down this method, he put away the gold paper and put on his robe.
is about to leave for Xiwang Town, Sanniang has already started to prepare, but before leaving, he still has to finish King Jing's affairs.
Last time, I promised King Jing to learn light skills in three days, and in the blink of an eye, the time came, and it was just this opportunity to teach King Jing "Tianhe Dao", if King Jing learned quickly, maybe he would be able to fish out Qiu Tianhe today, lest Luo Nuxia say that he didn't care about things.
After washing up in the Night Terror Hall, he watered the flowers and plants planted by Luo Ning, and then led the horse and the birds and birds to leave Shuanggui Lane together and go towards Mingyulou.
After entering Beijing for many days, the time came to the end of April, and the young ladies and young women walking in the bustling streets and alleys were dressed a little cooler, attracting the attention of idlers.
"Tsk!"
The bird on his shoulder, raising his wings to cover the eyes of the night terror, signaled not to look at the indecent scene.
The night terror hall flicked the birds, drove the horse through the bustling streets, and came to the black ya, but saw that from time to time there were black yamen catching fast, and the line was hurried in and out.
As soon as they reached the door, two people walked out of one of them.
The burly man in front of him was none other than 'Black Impermanence' She Long, with bandages on his arms, and the wounds in the back were gradually leaving.
"Lord She, hurt adults."
Seeing She Long, the Night Terror Hall stepped forward and bowed:
"Are you two going out on errands?"
She Long was originally frowning, but when he saw the Night Terror, he stretched a little, walked directly to him, and patted the Night Terror Hall on the shoulder:
"The night boy came just in time, let's go, let's go out on an errand together. I haven't raised my arm yet, if something happens, it's not good to give a hand to gradually leave, you are also walking on the road of the outside house, help top one. ”
This is still not an outsider to Night Terror.
She Long, who was slashed by the Night Terror Hall, was pulled into a strong ding, and it was difficult to refuse, so he asked:
"Arrest whom?"
She Long stood with his hands in his hands, with three points of sadness:
"I don't know. Yesterday, Wang Sheng, the chief arrester of the Yamen, was in the area of Dongshi, and it was not clear who he had bumped into, and he died on the spot, and his body was only found this morning. The person who came used a blunt stick and a stick to split the skull, judging from the traces, Wang Sheng didn't have time to draw the knife. Wang Sheng's martial arts are also first-class on the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts of the people who come are probably unfathomable. ”
The total number of black ya's arrests adds up to about 40 people, and the 'six evils' are the best among them.
When the Night Terror Hall heard that the general arrest had been killed, he couldn't help but be frightened and asked:
"Could it be that the person who came is the Grandmaster?"
"Eight or nine is not far from ten. The Night Boy is free, why don't you follow along? ”
The Night Terror Hall is free, and it goes out with black and white impermanence, and the risk is not particularly high, so I want to agree.
But the wound in the back gradually left, and at this time he interjected:
"Yegongzi is inexperienced in the rivers and lakes, so he took it with him, if something went wrong, it would be difficult to explain. King Jing went to Yutan Villa yesterday and specially instructed him to come over and ask him to go to Yutan Villa to ask for a meeting. ”
She Long was originally a helper, but he naturally didn't insist when he saw this:
"Since King Jing has an order, the night boy will go and get busy first."
Night Terror Hall arched his hand and said: "Those two adults are careful all the way, I have met King Jing, so I will come and have a look." When the matter is over, please invite the two adults to sit in Jinping Tower. ”
"Eh, you're welcome......"
After the black and white impermanence bowed, they left together.
When the Night Terror Hall learned that King Jing was in the hot spring villa, he did not enter the black ya, turned on his horse, and took the bird to the east gate of the capital.
-----
Yutan Villa is located outside the city under the Chunchen Peak, adjacent to the Hibiscus Pond and the Qingjiang River, it is regarded as a summer palace, the scenery is a unique place in Yunzhou, but it is a pity that it is exclusively for the emperor, and it is idle for ninety percent of the year.
At noon, you can see several pleasure boats carrying scholars and young ladies on the riverside, and there are many merchant ships coming and going in the river. There were no tourists on the shore, and it was still a mile away from the villa, and it was cleared, and the forbidden army in bright light armor was on duty everywhere, and a bird flying past would be scanned several times.
The warm sunshine sprinkled in the villa under the Chunchen Peak, the forbidden army patrolled outside the village, and outside the dragon washing pond in the rear, countless palace maids in colorful clothes bowed and waited.
The scale of the dragon washing pond is very large, there are flowers and green plants and resting water pavilions around it, the central pool water is white and foggy, and there are several dragon heads spitting warm spring water.
Whoa......
Sunlight shone into the misty open-air hot spring, and a tall, jade-skinned woman, defenseless, swimming back-to-back in the water, through the mist, you can see the majestic mountains, looming.
In the shade on the edge of the hot spring, the queen mother with long hair and a shawl, with white tulle on her shoulders, her jade feet immersed in the pool, her face was as resentful as ever:
"I said that I took the palace out to relax, but the result was good, the door didn't let the palace out, what's the point of taking a bath here, alas~"
Dongfang is very good from the water, turning around on the water, slender jade legs slightly kicking, the whole person dives into the water, when it comes out, it has reached the queen mother's approach, smooth long hair sticking to the smooth back, with a smile:
"Something happened in the city yesterday, and the black government is inspecting, and when it stops, I will take the Queen Mother to visit the river view."
Dongfang is not inferior to men in height, even if it is the same proportion as ordinary women, the size of the chest is bound to be larger, at this time to get closer, such as two full moons rising from the water, heavy look at the weight is not light, but it is very upright, like two inverted jade bowls.
The Queen Mother was born in Jiangzhou, belongs to a gentle and scholarly beauty, and her height is estimated to be only to the chin of the night terror, but she has been pampered since she was a child, and her capital is quite good, and the bust ratio is very eye-catching.
But the two definitely didn't mean to compare, the Queen Mother slid into the pool, lazily floating, her hand gently plucked the pool water, and sprinkled it between the jade peaks:
"It's not raining when you go out, it's going to go wrong, God is deliberately embarrassing the palace?"
"The Queen Mother, don't always think about this, think of something pleasant."
"You are so unreliable, how can this palace be happy? Last time, I thought you were sending something good...... I let Hongyu throw that thing, and if I am so presumptuous in the future, this palace will sue the saint! ”
"I also saw that the Queen Mother was widowed and lonely in the deep palace, so I made a temporary decision......"
"Even if this palace is lonely, you can't mess around, when I entered the palace, you were not young, and you still don't know my situation? You're a chick, aren't you? ”
The Queen Mother glanced at Dongfang Liren angrily, and remembered the beautiful man she saw in the painting last time, pondered slightly, and asked curiously:
"Leave people, you won't have ......"
Dongfang's heroic cheeks froze, and he frowned:
"What do you mean?"
"You are the king of Jing who is above 10,000 people under one person, and it is not easy to want a serving Xiaolangjun......
The Queen Mother aimed at the place where the grass was under water:
"Leave people, you honestly, are you already ...... Uh-huh? ”
?!
Dongfang Liren naturally knew what the Queen Mother meant, and was a little annoyed:
"What nonsense is the Queen Mother talking about? How could I ......"
The Queen Mother knew that she couldn't ask, and it was impossible to open herself for inspection, so she said stupidly:
"Just be curious and ask, you should have married a long time ago, if you have a sweetheart, you can say it directly, the queen mother will help you ask the saint for marriage."
The empress is the sister of the Oriental divorce, she fell in love with a man, why should she let the queen mother help be a matchmaker, she just laughed at it.
As soon as the two chatted for a while, a female official entered the dragon washing pool and respectfully reported behind the screen:
"Your Highness, report from outside, the night terror hall and the night boy have visited."
"Oh?"
Dongfang Liren hasn't had a chance to ask how the Night Terror Hall Tianhe Knife is learning these days, and when he saw that the Night Terror Hall was coming, he naturally wanted to meet him.
But discussing martial arts with each other, they didn't have half a day to chat, she came out to accompany the Queen Mother to relax, and threw the Queen Mother down to have a private meeting with the man, it was definitely not appropriate, think about it and instructed:
"Let the night boy visit the villa now, and the king will be summoned when he is free."
"Yes."
The last time the Queen Mother was in Mingyu Tower, she saw Dongfang leaving people to go out to meet the 'Night Prince', and then she saw Xiao Langjun in the flawless painting.
The surname of the night is very rare, there are few in the entire capital, and the title is not from the government, and the last time that Xiao Langjun was dressed as an ordinary son, she felt that it was probably the same person.
"Leave, who is this Night Boy?"
Dongfang Liren was a little absent-minded, afraid that the Queen Mother would see it, so he swam behind and helped the Queen Mother comb her long hair:
"A helper recruited by Hei Yaxin, his martial arts are good and his abilities are outstanding, but he is from the family of merchants, and there is nothing special about him."
Nothing special?
The Queen Mother didn't believe it at all, if this 'Night Terror Hall' was really the person in the painting I saw last time, the appearance alone would be special enough.
But this kind of thing, as the queen mother, she is not easy to ask, so she said thoughtfully:
"If you have something to do, go and get busy, everyone in this palace is used to it."
"Come out to accompany the Queen Mother to relax, naturally you have to accompany her, don't worry about these little things."
"It's good if you're not in a hurry...... This palace is afraid of you, who is hidden in my heart, and I think the queen mother is not long-sighted. ”
"Alas......"
