Chapter 5: The Envoy from the Palace
Shen Xihe recuperated in Linxiang County for half a month, during which Emperor Youning, who heard that she had fallen into the river, sent an attendant to condole.
"County Lord, that man is a demon again." Ziyu ran in angrily, saluted in a proper manner, and sued as soon as she opened her mouth.
Shen Xihe was watching this immortal tape, for the past half a month, she had to watch it for a moment every day, and she was particularly fascinated by the breath of the immortal tape, but she didn't move this thing.
There are only a few records of this object, the origin, shape, and color.
Other than that, no one knows about it, and many people probably have never heard of it.
Shen Xihe placed it in a jade box for half a month, but he didn't see it withering in the slightest, and it was still verdant.
As soon as Ziyu's words fell, Pearl also came in with Jasper and Ruby, and saluted Shen Xihe in unison.
Raising his eyes, looking at the four maids, Pearl in a white dress, Ziyu and others wearing skirts of the same color as their names, embroidered with the same orchids, or beautiful or delicate or delicate, each with its own characteristics, it is also pleasing to the eye.
After careful investigation during this time, these maids are all sincerely towards her.
"What did he do?" Shen Xi asked casually.
The person in Ziyu's mouth refers to the inner servant sent by Emperor Youning, who is still a serious five-grade in the inner service province, and a eunuch with a face.
It's been five days since I came here, except for the first day with a message to greet Shen Xihe, and I haven't come to ask for peace since then, but I sent someone Cui Yi to Shen Xihe every day to set off.
He has been living an extremely nourishing life in the past few days, socializing with officials and wealthy businessmen in Linxiang County every day, and the money he collects is afraid that it will exceed his life savings.
"The maid saw him dragging a girl back to the yard." Ziyu looked resentful, "A eunuch who still wants to spoil the girl, he ......"
"Purple Jade." Pearl interrupted her in time, and such pickled words could be said in front of the county lord?
This eunuch was ordered by the emperor to greet the county lord, and then personally escorted the county lord into Kyoto, holding chicken feathers as an arrow, thinking that he was a chincha, and no one dared to touch him here.
"Check it out." Shen Xihe's face was flat.
The gold wire outlines the treasure pattern peacock blue twelve fairy skirts with high bundles, slender figures, and graceful postures.
The smudge water dot peach blossom water blue gauze shawl is placed on the shoulder, moving with the wind, elegant and free.
The jewel and jade ring around the waist has a sound, which is pleasant to the ear.
Pearl and the others followed behind Shen Xihe, and Ziyu had already shown an obsessive gaze.
Since the county lord was rescued, she is really full of manners, and her actions are naturally like flowing water, and she can freeze into the painting at any time, and she is as beautiful as the fairy daughter in her dreams.
Such a fairy concubine-like figure stood in front of Huang Degui, Rao was not a real man, and he couldn't help but get drunk.
"The slave and maid please the county lord An, the county lord has instructed people to pass on the slave and maid, the labor county master, the slave and the maid should die." Huang Degui faked and slapped himself twice in the face.
Shen Xihe glanced lightly, bowed down in front of him, disheveled, his eyes crossed him and saw the open door behind him, a beautiful girl with tears on her face, clutching her clothes, and leaning out half of her face from behind the door.
At first glance, she is a woman from a good family.
Her eyes rippled slightly, and her crisp and tactful voice like the collision of jade beads sounded faintly: "Huangzhong Temple, do you know...... Where is the last person I asked me to find in person? ”
"County Lord ......" Huang Degui's eyebrows jumped, but he quickly calmed down, he was ordered to escort Shen Xihe, he was His Majesty's envoy, Shen Xihe didn't dare to touch him, his tone was casual, "The county lord is angry, it's the slave and maid who are negligent, and when he returns to Kyoto, the slave and maid will definitely ask His Majesty for his guilt." ”
"Moyu." Shen Xihe called softly.
Huang Degui hadn't reacted yet, a black shadow flashed in front of him, he only felt a pain in his chest, so he threw his head back and fell to the ground, and before he could react, he was kicked and turned over, and his hands were instantly restrained.
At this time, the two little eunuchs who accompanied him rushed in from outside, and saw a girl in black clothes kneeling on the ground with Huang Degui on her feet, facing Shen Xihe, who was standing lightly in the courtyard in the light breeze of the clouds.
"The county lord, the slave and maid are envoys sent by His Majesty, even if there is something wrong, the county lord is also ......"
"Noise."
As soon as Shen Xihe's words fell, Mo Yu, who had a cold face, removed his jaw.
The ears were quiet, and Shen Xihe ordered: "Biyu, send this girl away, and the person who should be beaten will beat it well; Pearl, tell Mo Yuan to set off; Hongyu tied these two people together with Huangzhong Temple. ”
Early the next morning, Shen Xihe set off for Linxiang County, this time by land.
"Titicaca......" Shen Xihe's body was too weak, and he had been raised for half a month, and he only walked for half a day, and he couldn't stand it and began to wheezing and coughing.
"The county lord, he refused to eat, and said......" Ziyu sent dry food to Huang Degui, and he was angry when he came back, "He also said that the county lord's reward today must be remembered by him." ”
Shen Xihe, who was lying in the innermost part of the carriage and leaning on the pearl's arms, closed his eyes and drank the medicine before he opened his eyes.
Her eyes were as clear as obsidian bathed in fairy spirits, with a crystal clear luster, and like a wisp of mist that permeated the mountains, making it impossible for her clear eyes to see.
With just a slight turn, Pearl would appreciate and lift the curtain.
The small windows in the square revealed some scenes outside, and Shen Xihe said: "This is not an official way. ”
"What?" Ziyu and the others were all shocked.
They have never left Shen Xihe's side, most of the time in the northwest, and this time they accompanied Shen Xihe to their uncle's house, leading the way was Mo Yuan, a personal soldier specially sent by Shen Yueshan to Shen Xihe, and Mo Yuan's family was in the northwest.
Even if something happened exquisitely, they didn't suspect Mo Yuan.
"I'll go to him and ask clearly, if you don't take the flat official road, you have to take this rugged mountain road, isn't this a deliberate toss for the county lord?" Ziyu completely put aside Huang Degui's matter first, and turned around to get off the carriage.
But he was dragged by Biyu: "On weekdays, let you have a little brain, you always don't listen, Mo Yuan is now the county lord's person, and he can let him pass the county lord, and the only one who orders him is the prince." ”
"How can the prince be willing to toss the county lord?" In their eyes, the county lord is the eye of the prince.
"Daddy, you have your own Daddy's arrangement." Shen Xihe sat up slightly, "Help me go down for a walk." ”
As soon as Shen Xihe got out of the carriage, Mo Yuan, who was patrolling in front, strode over, bowed to Shen Xihe and said: "County Lord, there is a small village in front, the county lord has not recovered from a serious illness, and it is not suitable to travel again, so I will rest in the village today for a night, can I set off again on a cloudy day?" ”
After a pause, he added: "My subordinates have already inquired about the Zhuangzi built by a rich family in the village, so I will send someone to negotiate." ”
