Chapter 215: The Wrong Suspect
"There are geese in autumn...... Angelica sinensis...... There is no deadline, tsk ......" took two small sips of the wine in his hand, and the thunder dragon continued to repeat, "The deadline is not near...... Near the end of the world, close to the heart!"
Angelica in autumn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wine!
Good name!
The sunset spreads throughout Chang'an City, and people's celebrations are heard from time to time from the direction of the outer city.
The thunder dragon stopped at this moment, and the blood-like glow shone on his face, appropriately covering the light red on his eyes.
He didn't cover the flask, and let the wine spill out of the jug, wafting on the wide blue brick avenue.
"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yun, who had already walked out, walked back after finding that the thunder dragon had stopped, although he didn't see the red in the corners of the thunder dragon's eyes, but he heard the tactful grievances in the sentence that the thunder dragon was singing.
Hearing Xiao Yun's inquiry, the thunder dragon sniffled, and then blinked his eyes fiercely. After a long time, he withdrew his gaze from the distance and said, "It's nothing, I'm just homesick." ”
Family?
What is the concept?
Xiao Yun was slightly stunned, home in his eyes was probably his father and mother. No, only the father, who he hadn't seen since he could remember, hadn't even heard of it. So, Lei Long said that he was homesick, did he also miss home?
I think about it, at least I miss my dad a lot. Xiao Yun clenched his fists, as if he was cheering himself on.
"Your home must be very cozy. Looking at Lei Long's somewhat sad but extremely yearning expression, Xiao Yun guessed.
Coo-goo, the thunder dragon took a few more sips of wine, then shook the flask, listening to the sound coming from inside, it seemed that there was not much wine. He leaned over to the spout of the pot and looked at it again, looking annoyed, as if he was scolding himself for not drinking so quickly.
"Your home is homely. "After waiting for a long time, Brontosaurus has been fiddling with his little flask. Xiao Yun was helpless, so he had to say it again in an affirmative tone.
"Warm?" Maybe he didn't know how to define the word "warm", so the thunder dragon showed a brief surprise before nodding, "Probably." ”
Belch...... For Lei Long's ambiguous answer, Xiao Yun rolled his eyes, not knowing how to continue. He didn't know why he had such a strong desire to talk to Brontosaurus. He always felt that there were some stories hidden in this "Autumn Goose Angelica" wine.
"Angelica for autumn geese," Xiao Yun finally found the topic, "Is it made with the meat of autumn geese and angelica?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, he immediately noticed the displeased face of the thunder dragon.
At this moment, Lei Long's fat face was full of seriousness and anger, and it was even difficult for Xiao Yun to regard the scoundrel who only cared about begging for wine before as the same person as the serious person in front of him.
Is Brontosaurus drunk? But he's so serious.
Aren't you drunk? But his "crazy talk" doesn't know what he's talking about.
Between drunk and non-drunk, this seems to be the epitome of Brontolong's current life.
"Would you like a bite?" Seriousness and anger clearly didn't match the Brontosaurus's big face, and his eyes were quickly filled with drunkenness again. Shaking and shaking, he even handed the wine jug in his hand to Xiao Yun, and politely asked, do you want to take a sip.
The flask was handed over, and a spicy aroma followed.
Yes, it's the aroma of wine, not just the smell of wine.
Xiao Yun's heart moved, and he remembered the appearance of the man drinking in the dilapidated wooden building under Dawu Mountain.
Somehow, he wanted to taste it too.
Taking the flask, he took a big sip as if it were water.
"Yikes. "Who knew that the wine was like fire, and when it entered the throat, it immediately emitted a burning effect. Xiao Yun only felt that his tongue and throat were being burned by the fire, and he opened his mouth wide and kept puffing out.
"Haven't you drunk it, have you?" From Xiao Yun's reaction, Lei Long could see at a glance that Xiao Yun was just a "rookie" who was drinking for the first time.
Nodding his head and sighing, Xiao Yun even felt that the heat burned all the way to his brain, burning to his Heavenly Spirit Gai. For a moment, his brain was stimulated by alcohol and stopped thinking, but he felt extremely comfortable.
"Good wine!" Xiao Yun praised from the bottom of his heart.
He felt as if he knew why his father kept drinking.
That moment of comfort can indeed make people forget a lot of things. Pleasant, unpleasant, sad, sweet...... You can forget about it all.
Are people who drink alcohol looking for such fleeting comfort?
After a glass of wine, and then looking at the thunder dragon, Xiao Yun suddenly felt that what was written on his face was all vicissitudes, and there was really a story!
"Good. Xiao Yun's praise of Qiu Yan Angelica obviously made Lei Long very happy. But when Xiao Yun was about to take another sip, Lei Long's eyes were quick, and he snatched it over, and with a flip of his palm, he put the wine jug in his mansion, "It's not much, I can't drink it." ”
Pursing his lips, Xiao Yun still had some unfinished meaning.
"Let's go, go to the General's Mansion to drink. Seeing that Xiao Yun drank for the first time, he felt very drunk, and the thunder dragon pulled Xiao Yun and hurriedly chased after Luo Hu.
While they were drinking, Luo Hu had already turned into the next street.
"See the queen's mother. ”
As soon as they turned the corner, the two saw Luo Hu on one knee, facing the middle-aged woman in front of him to salute the monarch.
"General Luo, please. ”
The middle-aged woman made a false gesture with both hands, signaling Luo Hu to flatten his body.
As Luo Hu said, women are the mother of a country.
The queen was followed by two columns of maidservants, Xiao Yun roughly counted, and there were no less than ten people in each column. And the maids in front of them are still holding the queen's excessively long skirts in their hands, they are all extraordinary, and they are expected to be servants with an unusual status in the palace.
The status of the master naturally also determines the status of the slave.
"Congratulations to the mother. After Luo Hu and the queen each said some polite words, the queen went back to Qianning Palace. This road connects the Imperial Study, the General's Mansion and the Qianning Palace, so it is not strange to meet Queen Luo Hu. After a few brief words, Luo Hu bowed respectfully to the ground and did not stand up straight until the queen was far away.
Then Xiao Lei and the two who came over, the queen didn't see it, and she didn't blame the two for not kneeling down to meet them.
But the queen didn't want to look at Xiao Yun, but Xiao Yun kept staring at the queen.
"Ahem. Sensing Xiao Yun's gaze following the queen, Luo Hu coughed twice as a reminder.
However, Xiao Yun turned a deaf ear and stared at the queen's distant back, as if thinking about something.
"Xiao Yun!" Luo Hu was annoyed, the status of the monarch and the minister was already humble, Xiao Yun was disrespectful when he saw that the queen did not pay respects, and now he still looked at the queen so blatantly, as a general, how could Luo Hu bear it.
"What's wrong?" was shouted angrily by Luo Hu, Xiao Yun came back from his contemplation and looked at Luo Hu with a blank face. But he obviously didn't care what was wrong, and before Luo Hu could speak, he continued, "She's the queen?"
Extremely annoyed by Xiao Yun's idea of having no concept of humility, Luo Hu sighed deeply: "The queen mother is not, are you?!" But as soon as the words came out, Luo Hu immediately realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked: "Haven't you seen it in Qianning Palace?"
Xiao Yun shook his head.
"What do you mean?" an ominous thought suddenly flashed through Luo Hu's mind.
"Not really. Xiao Yun thought for a while and said.
"Isn't it like that?" Luo Hu asked, "Haven't you seen it?"
"The person I saw in Qianning Palace at that time was not her, at least not the back. Xiao Yun then told Luo Hu that the person he saw at that time had his back to him, so he didn't see her face, but only had some impression of her back.
After listening to Xiao Yun, Luo Hu's face turned pale: "Why didn't you say it earlier?!"
"You didn't ask. ”
"Do you know, maybe it's because you didn't make it clear, our efforts for more than a month have been in vain. Luo Hu tried his best to hold back his roar, but everyone could see that he was in a bad mood.
I have been busy for more than a month, and now I realize that the person who has been secretly guarding is the wrong object. That is to say, the real mastermind behind the scenes has fully completed the preparations in a month! Luo Hu glared at Xiao Yun angrily, as if he wanted him to admit his mistake.
But Xiao Yun pretended to be aggrieved and said: "At the beginning, you asked me 'where' and 'what was the content of the conversation', and then you kicked me out, saying that what was not suitable for me to listen to, where would I have the opportunity to explain it to you." Later, seeing how confident you looked, I didn't think there was any need to say it, after all, it was just a small detail......"
After listening to Xiao Yun's words, Luo Hu was even more angry, but after thinking about it, what Xiao Yun said was true. At that time, after learning about the "Qianning Palace" from Xiao Yun's mouth, the five brothers all had a preconceived idea that the person behind the scenes was the queen. At that time, they still couldn't trust Xiao Yun, so they naturally had to separate Xiao Yun, an "outsider", from discussing important matters.
In this way, Xiao Yun really can't be blamed entirely.
Luo Hu shook his head weakly, and lamented in his mouth: "One wrong step, maybe you will lose everything." ”
For more than a month, they have been struggling to find a false suspect. Bai was on guard, but let the person behind the scenes take the opportunity to prepare fully.
In this battle, win less and lose more.
And more than a month ago, they went wrong.
"Let's go, go back to the General's Mansion. Luo Hu urged a little anxiously, and took the lead in striding out. Xiao Yun followed, Lei Long also stood side by side with Xiao Yun, and the three of them rushed to the city.
Although they were the same destination, this time the three of them were obviously going much faster.
When I walked into the General's Mansion, it was already completely dark. Occasionally, from the depths of the mountains to the east of the city, there were one or two thunderous sounds, as if a heavy rain was about to fall.
Back at the General's Mansion, Luo Hu didn't even greet Xiao Yun and Lei Long, he went straight to the inner courtyard to find the four brothers and explain the situation. Xiao Yun could only vaguely see that the five tigers of the Luo family were all shocked and worried, and then the five of them hugged me and squeezed into the inner room, obviously to discuss countermeasures.
As soon as Luo Hu left, Xiao Yun stood in the courtyard, not knowing what to do for a while.
Although I have lived here for a while, I have not lost the freshness and blankness of the last time. He knows that he is slowly beginning to adapt to this world of "strength is respected", and he also knows that he is no longer at a loss, but has some goals that must be persevered.
"Xiao Yun, follow me. At this time, the thunder dragon beside him touched Xiao Yun's arm, grinned and walked in the other direction.
