Chapter VI
The fog crawled on the ground, but it didn't get a response from the people above.
I only heard Yin Qu explain to the fierce and vicious Su Yi, "Su Yi, these two people were brought into the palace by Concubine Ming's mother." ”
Su Yi slowly let go of his hand, and Sang Luo immediately collapsed and sat on the ground, took several breaths, and then spit it all out.
Su Yi put the sword back into the sheath and reached out to Fusang Luo, "I am rude, I hope the son will forgive me." ”
Sang Luosoul hadn't come back yet, but he patted Su Yi's hand first, his eyes were full of vigilance and anger, he touched the thick branches of the snow banyan tree and climbed up by himself, leaning in front of the tree, and his attention was on Wu Chi.
"I've never seen you so polite before, get up"
"The last time the grass people saw the general, they did all the courtesy," Wu Chi lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yin Qu
"You know I wasn't talking about that."
Yin Qu walked to the left side of Wuchi, tilted his head and whispered, like two children whispering to each other
Wu Chi also lowered his voice and said
"General Yin is afraid that he has a bad memory, I have met the general once before."
Wu Chi lowered his eyes, his slightly curled eyelashes fanned, sometimes revealing autumn phoenix eyes, sometimes caressing snow-white skin. Yin Qu couldn't help but feel his heart tremble, and immediately withdrew his eyes after noticing it, and turned to Su Yi.
"It's been out for too long, I'll look for it over there, let's go"
"Yes," Su Yi bowed to Sang Luo again before leaving, apologizing
Inside the archery range
An arrow tore through the sky and flew precisely towards the target, followed by a man in the distance waving his twin flags.
"Hit the target, hit the heart."
"Your Majesty is a good archery," Zhan Ye Hua said heartily
Emperor Yan has a long black beard, a bright yellow robe embroidered with a flying dragon totem, a jade wrench in his hand, and a bow and crossbow, and the whole person exudes the aura of a king who is mighty in the world.
"Hahahaha, compared to the battlefield, I am still far behind" Emperor Yan's deep voice came out, and the atmosphere was incomparable.
The ladies who celebrated the queen mother's birthday were all seated in the back seat and watched, Emperor Yan put down the bow and crossbow, and strode towards the back seat, followed by Zhan Yehua.
The Queen Mother on the main seat of the Yan Dynasty saluted, "Queen Mother, has the skill of the sons and daughters regressed?" ”
The Queen Mother wore a gold crown of flowing beads, a long purple dress, decorated with tassels, trimmed with purple gold ornaments, and a pair of godly eyes sunk in deep eye sockets, with a smile in her eyes, kind and friendly.
"The emperor is still as high-spirited as when he was young." Empress Dowager Yan opened her face, raised her eyes to look at the clear sky and became hurt again.
"If your sister is still around, she will rush to compete with you now." Emperor Yan stepped forward and sat next to the Empress Dowager Yan, held the Empress Dowager's hand, and comforted the Empress Dowager softly
"My sister learned that the queen mother was so worried and uneasy, and it would not be easy in heaven, today is the queen mother's birthday banquet, and my sister must also hope that the queen mother will be happy and happy."
"Yes, Queen Mother, don't think too much." Queen Yan wears a crown of pearls and phoenixes, a hollow gold hairpin on the right side, with a slight cloud temple, excellent demeanor, graceful atmosphere, and every move is gentle and elegant, revealing the royal spirit.
While speaking, Zhan Yehua and Yin Qu came to the back seat
"The Queen Mother, this is a rare fur specially picked up by the war field army for the Queen Mother in the frontier, and the most famous embroiderer in the capital is embroidered, and the cold will never pierce the body in winter."
Warfield Birch took the fur and offered it.
"General Zhan Ye has a heart" The Queen Mother noticed Yin Qu behind Zhan Ye Hua
"Qu'er, come to me, go out with the war field for two years, and now you are becoming more and more manly."
"Empress Dowager Xie praises" Yin Qu approached and saluted respectfully
"That's good, calculate the age, it's time to get married, right, Zhan Ye."
Empress Dowager Yan instantly came to her spirits, her eyes full of love and expectation
Zhan Ye Hua replied yes
"If my granddaughter is still here, she is also at this age, if she is, I will ask the two of you to marry, but it's a pity" The Queen Mother sighed and shook her head
"Queen Mother, you forgot, Zhu Xuan has been in love with General Yin since he was a child." The queen turned around and sold Ming Zhuxuan
"Zhuxuan? Is it Concubine Ming's sister, the little daughter of the Ming family? “
Empress Dowager Yan frowned slightly, trying to recall
"Yes, Mingxuan hurry up and let the Queen Mother take a good look." The queen greeted Ming Zhuxuan, who was sitting next to Concubine Ming
Ming Zhuxuan stepped forward from Concubine Ming and saluted the Queen Mother respectfully
The Queen Mother looked at Ming Zhuxuan, and then looked at Yin Qu next to her
"The mourning family thinks it's pretty good, what do you think, Qu'er?"
"Since the Queen Mother said that it was good, then it was good." Yin Qu's voice did not fall
"Okay, okay, that's it." Empress Yan's eyes were bent into an arc, and she made a decision immediately
"Today, it's a joy and a joy."
Yin Qu and Ming Zhuxuan bowed to the Queen Mother and Emperor Yan, after Ming Zhuxuan got up, he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and the corners of his mouth were smiling, he had been thinking about it for so many years, and now he got his wish.
Emperor Yan supported the Queen Mother and walked towards the main field, and everyone in the back seat also followed and left the archery range.
Zhan Yehua looked at Yin Qu with an expressionless face, and his words were serious.
"Qu'er, you really think about it, you don't like Ming Zhuxuan."
"The queen's side has always wanted to stuff people into the battlefield general's mansion, and they will only show their handles."
Yin Qu said calmly, looking in the direction where the group left, the queen was walking upright. In Yin Qu's eyes, there was clearly a bottomless fog and haze behind the glorious queen.
Zhan Ye Hua was a little anxious
"I'm not talking about this, it's your life's work."
"Yin Qu was picked up by you from the battlefield, and he was alone, and this marriage means nothing to me."
Seeing that Yin Qu was stubborn, Zhan Yehua patted the back of his right hand on the palm of his left hand several times
"If one day you meet the person you really love, you will regret it."
Yin Qu was silent, and Zhan Yehua simply shook his hand and left.
The sky is dark, the palace is full of lights, the lights are bright, the palace people are busy walking around, except for the main field, the other palaces must be properly decorated, and the atmosphere is in place.
Even the idle pavilion has people to hang the red color, and there are a few small palace maids who come to hang the color.
The little palace maid looked at Wu Chi and Sang Luo, and her face turned red
"You're from outside the palace? Are the men outside the palace all looking like you, so handsome? “
Wu Chi and Sang Luo looked at each other and smiled, Wu Chi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said jokingly, he really looked like a playboy
"The palace is full of girls, so beautiful and moving."
As soon as these words came out, the palace maids twisted and laughed together, and they couldn't close their mouths.
One of them sensed that there was still business to be done, and spoke
"Mr. Liren, the hour is almost up, please come with us to the open room to perform and prepare."
Wuchi turned to Sang Luo and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back when I'm done"
"Be careful."
"Uh-huh"
Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi's back, and his heart became more and more uneasy
The open hall is brightly lit, amber wine, jasper, golden foot bottles, jade plates, picturesque food, wine like springs, guqin trickling, bells dingdong.
Wu Chi waited in the side hall for an unknown amount of time, and then he heard the summons, and it was finally time to play
Wu Chi patted his heart, took a long breath and went on stage, the left and right sides were full of princes and nobles, the front sat the Queen Mother, the right was Emperor Yan, and the left was Queen Yan
After Wu Chi made a big salute, he began to tell the story, all the way smoothly and without stuck, after the last sound of waking up wood, Wu Chi's heart finally let go
Sure enough, everyone in the audience began to wipe their tears with their hands, although they are princes and nobles, they are also flesh and blood people, they can empathize with Liu Ruwei, but why can't they stop Liu Ruwei's tragedy, obviously the leaders are these people who wipe their tears in the audience.
"The mourning family hasn't shed tears so happily for a long time, although it is a birthday that shouldn't have shed tears, the mourning family feels that the tears are worth it."
Empress Dowager Yan wiped her tears with a handkerchief
Emperor Yan said, "Since the queen mother likes it, it is better to leave this person in the palace, and sometimes say it to the queen mother to relieve her boredom." ”
Hearing this, Wu Chi felt Gordon in his heart, and his thoughts suddenly fell to the bottom
Yin Qu looked at Wu Chi with interest in the audience, observing her reaction
"No need, Mr. should have been born for the affairs of the world, if he folded his wings in the palace and there was no story in his ears, one day Jiang Lang would be exhausted, and the reward would be, the concubine had a heart, which reminded the mourning family that the girl in the palace was the best at telling stories, and when people are old, they love to remember the past." The Queen Mother looked at Wu Chi with a smile
The second Concubine Yan is dressed in a colorful dress, with a graceful posture, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, clear and charming, and a lotus-like beauty and elegance.
Concubine Yan smiled indifferently and thanked the Queen Mother.
Wu Chi's heart on the stage was raised again, Xuan Yiran was Xuan Niang's full name, Wu Chi came back to his senses, knelt down and thanked him, and then left.
Wu Chi carried the green robe and looked around for the way, regretting why he didn't remember the road well when he came with the palace maid just now
"Damn, it's not this one" The sky was getting darker and darker, and the fog was still lingering in the corridor, turning his head and bumping into a person.
Wearing a brocade robe and a silver crown, Wu Chi didn't even have to think about specifying which prince and nobleman it was
Wu Chi knelt down and saluted suddenly, and the man lifted Wu Chi up at once, asked loudly, and forced Wu Chi to retreat to the corner again and again
"Where is Ruwei now?"
Wu Chi didn't slow down all of a sudden, and the man's strength became stronger and stronger, clenching Wu Chi's arm painfully
"You let go of me first, you calm down." Wu Chi's painful facial features were all twisted into one place
"Chengchi is Ruwei's affectionate name for me, how do you know, and where did you hear this story?"
Cheng Shijing threw Wu Chi onto the pillar at once, and when he was about to step forward to ask him, he was kicked to the ground
Yin Qu pulled Wu Chi's wrist behind him, covering up his murderous eyes, and replacing them with a pair of smiling and disdainful eyes
"Cheng Gongzi is afraid that he is drunk, Songlin, send Cheng Gongzi back to the banquet."
Cheng Shijing was helped up from the ground, his mood stabilized, and he looked at Wu Chi pleadingly, Wu Chi was afraid of the pain just now, and still chose to hide behind Yin Qu
When Cheng Shijing was about to leave, Wu Chi couldn't help but shout
"Cheng Gongzi, the ending is very different from what I just said"
"Where the hell did Ruwei go?" Cheng Shijing's voice trembled
"Liu Ruwei found a river in her hometown and jumped, and there are no more people." Wu Chi walked out from behind Yin Qu and looked at the grief-stricken Cheng Shijing
Wu Chi took off the ice jade bracelet from his hand with difficulty, "This is the last thing Liu Ruwei left, she left the money for the pawn of this bracelet to her family, although you are a bad man, but Liu Ruwei still likes you, this bracelet is for you, if you feel sorry for her, treat your children well." ”
Yin Qu looked at Wu Chi's back interestingly, and was unconsciously attracted to it.
Cheng Shijing burst into tears while walking with the bracelet, and Wu Chi looked at Cheng Shijing and didn't feel good in his heart, "Why do you always know how to cherish it after you lose it." ”
"Why did you change the ending," Yin Qu asked Wu Chi in a low voice
Wu Chi came back to his senses and remembered that there was still Yin Qu standing behind him.
"The grass people just hope that Liu Ruwei will remain happy and happy in people's hearts at the end of the story."
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Wu Chi realized that he could actually look directly at Yin Qu
"The grass people are not afraid of the general, but they are in awe of the general, the general has already saved the grass people twice, and it is too late for the grass people to thank them."
"Awe? In front of the West Gate, you have no less flame than I do, little girl. Yin Qu bent down and looked at Wu Chi
Wuchi panicked, but never found a reason to prevaricate
"Since the general knows, why didn't he drag me out and kill me?"
"I'm a general, not a bully." Yin Qu lowered his head and noticed that there was a circle of red marks on the hand on which Wu Chi had just taken off the bracelet
"You've always worn the bracelet?"
"Yes, maybe every time I tell a story, the negative man can hear it, and I have already thought about the lines of scolding the negative man several times, who knows ......"
Wu Chi stopped and didn't speak, but he didn't expect Yin Qu to take the words.
"Who knew that seeing him cry so sadly suddenly couldn't speak?" Yin Qu raised his brows slightly.
Realizing that he was not talking to Yin Qu like this, Wu Chi immediately saluted and turned his head to leave
Yin Qu looked at the back of the foggy Chi and walked to the fork in the corridor, with a commanding tone
"Idle Pavilion to the left"
Wu Chi turned around and saluted Yin Qu again, and then walked quickly to the left.
Finally went back to the idle pavilion, Wu Chi took a sip of water, but his heart seemed to be covered by a layer of fog, why did the Queen Mother know Xuan Niang's name, what the hell is going on
Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi worriedly, "What's wrong with you?"
Wu Chi took a deep breath and looked up at Sang Luo, "There is something in the Chihua Palace that you want me to stay." “
"What nonsense are you talking about, we almost died under the snow banyan tree today, have you forgotten?"
Sang Luo was shocked by what Wu Chi said, and was afraid that Wu Chi would be stupid.
"No, I stay in the palace, I want to find the shackles that trapped Xuan Niang and my life experience that Xuan Niang has locked for most of my life, it must be in this deep palace."
When Wu Chi looked out, it was pitch black, and there was no light at all.
The two of them were taken out of the palace early in the morning by the little father-in-law who led the way when they came, and from the gap in the raised horse curtain, they watched the palace gate get farther and farther away, smaller and smaller, and finally became as small as a drop of blood, and Wu Chi's thoughts were complicated
Sang Luo looked at Wu Chi worriedly, "Since it is something you decide, I will definitely support you, but how do you pass the Xuanniang level, and how do you enter the palace?" “
"It's good for Xuan Niang to tell the truth, I have my own way to enter the palace, and I have to rely on the help of one person."
"Who?"
"Yin Qu"
Inside General Yin's mansion
Yin Qu took a long nail and nailed it into Dao Lian's shoulder, Dao Lian screamed in pain, and the big ones on his head were sweating, and blood was pouring out, splashing Yin Qu's blue robe
"Daozhai master, if the person behind you really has the heart to save your Daozhai, he won't be doing nothing now."
"Yin Qu, you will die of this heart, I won't say it if I die." The master of the knife village clenched his teeth, blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and the gaps between his teeth were also filled with blood
"The master of the knife village is too ignorant, it seems that General Ben's force is too light." Yin Qu's voice was like that of Lord Yama, and his slender fingers slid on the various torture instruments one by one
Song Lin came in from outside and said something in Yin Qu's ear
The corners of Yin Qu's mouth smiled: "It's really strange." “
looked down at himself covered in blood, turned his head to Songlin and said, "Prepare clean clothes, I'm afraid of frightening the little girl."
Wu Chi stood in the middle of the lobby, on both sides were expressionless soldiers with swords, as if they were about to rush up and suppress themselves, looking around the mansion There was no fireworks in the world at all, no different from hell.
Yin Qu looked at Wu Chi wearing a gauze skirt and looked like a woman, his mood actually improved a little, and he saw her trembling again, and found that his general's mansion was also a terrible existence for Wu Chi
"You all go down," Yin Qu dismissed the guards on both sides, and then drank tea
"Say, what's the matter with me, why don't you leave if you don't see me."
Wu Chi knelt down and gave a big salute to Yin Qu, "The folk girl wants to ask General Yin for one more thing"
"Since you know that you are a citizen, and you can let me, a general, do things for you with your identity and conditions." Yin Qu thought it was funny, how straight he stood on West Street at the beginning, and how bent his back is now, he can really bend and stretch.
"The folk girl knows that General Yin is not a bad person, in front of the West Gate, under the snow banyan tree, in the corridor, if it weren't for General Yin, the folk girl would have died by now, General Yin is a person who understands righteousness, is kind and upright, helpful, and handsome." Wu Chi said this big list categorically.
"What do you want me to do" Yin Qu didn't know that he had been pinched by the little girl
