Chapter 35 The inscription poem on the shadow wall vents the anger and the two soldiers compete for favor

Jin Xianguan, drizzle drifting in the air, and bursts of wet and cold mountain wind swept by, making people feel cold.

Li Yunhan was full of sorrow, sitting alone under the porch and playing the piano solo, occasionally or chanting a few words.

A hundred steps away, Ping Yu was upstairs looking at the faint figure of the distant peaks, she couldn't help but feel a little sad when she heard the mournful sound of the piano, her eyes gradually became blurred, and her thoughts returned to the scene when she was studying art with Li Yunhan in Qingcheng Mountain ten years ago......

Ning Xin stepped forward and said that tomorrow was the tenth anniversary of Princess Hui's death, and Li invited her to the meeting.

After hearing this, Ping Yu suddenly came back to his senses and nodded. At this time, a maid hurriedly came to report, saying that Wang Jie was outside the door and asked to see her. It turned out that Wang Jiezi accepted the secret order of Dafu, and he did not sleep peacefully all night in a panic, and rushed to Jinxian Temple on horseback and rain early the next morning.

When Ping Yu saw Wang Jie, before he could speak, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Listen, what kind of complaint did that down-and-out person complain about?" ”

Wang Jie listened carefully for a while, and a few desolate qin songs came from the silence, and then he understood and asked carefully: "Your Highness, have you ever seen him?" ”

"If love is like flowing water, it's okay if you don't see it!" Pingyu's face is like frost.

"Brother Li and I are like brothers and sisters, but we have been treated coldly by this for no reason, which is really chilling!" Wang Jie's expression was solemn, "Forget it, I'll take him away." ”

"Nosy!" Ping Yu sneered, "The big exam is coming, you don't think about it for yourself......"

"Oh?"

"There are thousands of candidates, and there is only one champion; You and him, I really can't choose. Ping Yu said in a gentle tone.

Wang Jie chuckled in his heart when he heard this, and asked her what she meant?

"Remember, in the face of interests, friendship is often unreliable; If you are good with me, I will ensure that you are ranked among the top three on the gold list. ”

"So, what if you don't agree?"

"If you don't agree, choose him!"

After hearing this, Wang Jie's heart went up and down, and he stood in place, unable to say a word.

"Go, take him to King Hui's mansion in the afternoon." Ping Yu said and turned away.

Wang Jie entered the Danlu, saw Li Yunhan's clothes scattered and haggard, and looked at the leftovers on the table, he couldn't help but feel a little pity, and said, "Just these vegetable leaf gruel, can you eat enough?" ”

"Of course, meat is indispensable," Li Yunhan smiled slightly, kicked the firewood pile with his foot, revealing a bunch of bird feathers and fine bones, "There are many birds in the yard, I beat a few with flying stones, and put them in the oven to cook, which has a special taste." ”

Li Yunhan said and threw the pile of bird feather bones into the furnace hall and burned them, complaining: "It's a pity that there is no wine to drink, and the more you stay, the more boring it becomes." ”

"She didn't see you?" Wang asked.

"Hmm; She wanted to tease me; Li Yunhan's expression was solemn, and he glanced at the alchemy furnace, "However, this elixir has finally been refined." ”

"Elixir ......"

"Yes," Li Yunhan took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and opened it for him to see, "What about this elixir, senior sister will definitely like it when she sees it." ”

Wang Jie saw that the pill was slightly smaller than the pigeon egg, and the whole body was black and smooth, and he couldn't help but feel jealous. He frowned, had a plan, and said, "She has too deep a prejudice against you; In this way, go to King Hui's mansion in the afternoon, let me hand over the elixir to her, and then say a few more kind words for my brother. ”

"Well, that's good." Li Yunhan handed over the pill to Wang Jie without thinking.

The two returned to the tea room, sat down to rest, chatted for a while, and then returned to the capital together.

Outside King Hui's mansion, Qiaozhu had been waiting for them for a long time. Qiaozhu asked Li Yunhan to wait in front of the shadow wall, and took Wang Jie to see Princess Pingyu to be accommodating first.

It was just past noon, the weather was hot and dry, and the sun was shining in the sky and the light was strong, shining on Li Yunhan with some hot pain.

Li Yunhan waited for more than half an hour, feeling hot and thirsty, and was embarrassed to walk away for a while; He looked up at the "Drunken Lying in the Cold Forest" on the shadow wall, and had a plan in his mind at the moment. He asked the servant for pen and ink, danced on the shadow wall, and wrote a poem, venting the resentment and depression that had accumulated in his heart for several days.

"Bold, dare to scribble here!" Li Wu stepped forward and shouted.

"Forgive me, county lord," Li Yunhan bowed, "I saw that this mural is wonderful, but a good painting also needs to be worthy of a good poem, so it is inscribed." ”

"Hmph, this picture is made by Saint Wu Daozi, and it is hard to find; You scribble, you defaced, this painting still dare to quibble! ”

"The lord of the county is angry; Li's poems are also hard to find! ”

"Joke, what a broken poem! Don't hurry up and shovel it out! ”

"No," Li Yunhan smiled slightly, "Once this poem is eradicated, the mural will be wasted!" ”

"Hmph, then I'll even tear down the shadow wall!"

Qiaozhu persuaded: "Miss can't help it, if the prince blames it, what can I do!" ”

While everyone was arguing, Ping Yu came over from the shade of the tree with a silk fan and asked Li Yu what she was yelling at?

"This person is so rude that he dares to scribble on the mural;" Li Wu pointed to the shadow wall and sighed lightly, "It's a pity, this "Drunk Lying in the Cold Forest" has been ruined!" ”

"Really?" Ping Yu smiled lightly, walked to the shadow wall and watched quietly for a while, and said casually: "Sitting in the seclusion, it is often cloudy and daylight." Raise a glass and fly to the flowers, suspected to be an old man. ”

Ping Yu remembered the snub of Li Yunhan the day before yesterday, and couldn't help but feel ashamed, so he smiled leisurely and said to Li Yu: "It's unsightly? Sister-in-law, I am willing to pay 100 gold to buy this shadow wall. ”

"Sister-in-law, you're kidding again." Li Wu was stunned.

"Really," Ping Yu's expression was solemn, "This shadow wall is not only good for painting, but also good for poetry and calligraphy, which can be described as three uniques; In my opinion, it's hard to find a hundred gold! ”

Li Wu listened to it and looked at the shadow wall carefully, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li's poem with this painting is indeed a perfect match. After being reminded by the sister-in-law, the sister-in-law was like an initiation. It's just that ...... from my father's side."

"Afraid of what? There's me. Ping Yu was very unimpressed.

Only then did Li Wu let go of her heart and said, then stay.

Afterwards, everyone went to the Qiongxiang Pavilion and sat down to drink tea and rest.

Li Yunhan bowed slightly, and said, "Senior sister has avoided it for the past two days, so she is still complaining about me?" ”

"What's the matter, it's clear that you're complaining too much;" The corners of Ping Yu's mouth twitched, "Why haven't you scolded enough of the inscription poem on the shadow wall?" ”

Li Yunhan smiled indifferently and said, "It's just that I have some understanding." ”

Pingyu asked him why he came to see him?

Li Yunhan said that before meeting the master, he wanted to clear up the misunderstanding between the two.

"What misunderstanding?"

"Senior sister, do you still remember the art of Qingcheng Mountain?"

"The vicissitudes of life have long since disappeared." Ping Yu pretended to be puzzled.

"I haven't forgotten. At that time, Sister Xiaoying was so willful, she never refused to let people do things, and she once reprimanded me for a little squirrel that injured her foot. ”

"You hurt that!" Ping Yu glared at him.

"And this talisman," Li Yunhan took out the peach talisman from his arms, "After so many years, I can't imagine that Senior Sister has always kept it." ”

Ping Yu saw the feelings of the things, suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said: "The things return to their original owners." ”

"At that time, I didn't do much, and it was inevitable that I would act rashly and rashly, which hurt my senior sister's heart; I've been feeling guilty about it all these years. Li Yunhan said in a low voice.

Ping Yu said that those have long passed, and now no one owes anyone!

"The years have passed, and Sister Xiaoying's temper has really not changed at all."

"But you have changed, your mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter," Ping Yu looked resentful, "Don't say anything about stealing my cockfight, but also write poems to scold me." Say, what do you see Master? ”

"A teacher for one day, a father for life," Li Yunhan fiddled with the jade pendant, "and the mystery of my life experience, maybe only he can help me solve it." ”

"Really?" Ping Yu glanced at the jade pendant, "This jade pendant, I'm very familiar." ”

"Of course it's familiar, you've seen it in Qingcheng Mountain."

Ping Yu shook his head and said, "No, you're wrong. I've seen it in the palace. ”

"Senior sister is laughing again;" Li Yunhan frowned, "Since I can remember, this Pei has never been far away from his side, and when has he been to the palace?" ”

"No, I can't be mistaken." Ping Yu's tone was firm, he hesitated for a while, and then asked, "Have you refined the elixir?" ”

"Yes, after seven hundred and forty-nine days, it has finally been refined."

"What about the elixir?"

Li Yunhan said that this Dan is now in Wang Jie's hands.

Ping Yu immediately instructed Ning Xin to bring Wang Jie.

When Wang Jie heard that Ping Yu wanted the pill, he felt a little uneasy. He followed Ning Xin out of the house, and before he arrived in front of Qiongxiang Pavilion, he saw Ping Yu and Li Yunhan talking and laughing and behaving intimately from a distance, and he couldn't help but feel jealous, so he quietly discarded the pill given by Li Yunhan in the grass and replaced it with a laxative pill.

Ping Yu saw that Wang Ji had arrived, and ordered him to hand over the elixir.

Wang Jie was apprehensive, presented a small jade box, and said, "Your Highness, the elixir is here." ”

Ping Yu took the jade box, opened it and looked at it, and was about to pick up the pill to take it, but was stopped by Wang Jie's shouting. It turned out that he was worried that the pill would be filled with it, and Li Yunhan would see the clues, so he hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, slow down, this pill needs to be taken with hot spring water for the best effect." ”

"This," Ping Yu retracted his hand, and then ordered Qiaozhu to fetch a pot of hot spring water.

After a moment of silence, Ping Yu looked at Wang Jie and said, "Gongzi Yushu is in the wind, but it's a pity that he has a good skin in the air, and he doesn't know how to be considerate at all." ”

Wang Jie was a little nervous when he heard this, and said, "It's just a pill, why should Your Highness slander your majesty like this." ”

Li Wu interjected: "This is a man, but you have to rely on your conscience. Wang Gongzi, don't think that you can get carried away with making a little money with a little craft! ”

"Yes, I understand." Wang Jie hurriedly whispered back. He sat uneasily for a while, and when he looked up, he suddenly saw Qiaozhu carrying the kettle to the pavilion, worried that the pill pill would be seen through by Li Yunhan, so he hurried forward to cross the kettle and walked to Ping Yu's side. He used his body to block Li Yunhan's vision, poured a cup of hot spring water, and presented it to Ping Yu: "Your Highness, please take it." ”

"Well, that's not bad." Ping Yu was delighted, took the water cup and took the pill.

Ping Yu waved his hand and said: "The two talented men are suave and suave, and their poems and essays are prestigious, but it's a pity that Huaicai is not in the middle of the alleys, which is really a sigh." ”

Li Yunhan sighed: "Although the world is big, even if there is a great ambition, management, and music, it is rare to have a good fortune. ”

"Yo, what a big breath!" Li Wu said with some sarcasm.

"Then I'll be the Bole of the two, how about it?" Ping Yulang said with a smile, "I have a lot of talents like stars, and there is never a shortage of high-minded talkers; Tomorrow's big exam is coming, if you can help the two gold list titles, you can show your talents and realize your ambitions. ”

Li Wu then added: "However, if you can't win, it's still a wine bag and rice bag." ”

"What do you mean, senior sister?" Li Yunhan asked.

Ping Yu said: "There are thousands of candidates every year, and there is only one champion. Since both of you are here today, why don't you try it face-to-face, so that my sister-in-law and I can have a bottom in our hearts, and this accommodating thing in the future......"

Li Wu said that in the future, it will be justified in the list.

Wang Jie was silent after hearing this.

"Senior sister wants to provoke me?" Li Yunhan asked.

"Then it's up to you to try it." Ping Yu turned his head and asked Wang Jie, "What about you?" ”

Wang Jiewan smiled and said, "I wish to listen to the princess's orders." ”

Li Yunhan straightened up and said solemnly: "As long as Senior Sister tells the whereabouts of Master, I would rather not have any fame!" ”

"That's not good, someone will scold me for favoring him." Ping Yu smiled indifferently, "If you win, I will promise you." ”

Li Wu urged: "Compare, or not?" ”

Wang Ji asked, how to compare?

Ping Yu said that it is divided into literary and martial arts; Immediately, Ning Xin drew a circle two zhang square on the ground with lead powder.

Ping Yu pointed to the ground and said, "Let's talk about the martial arts test first; The two of them are good at weapons and martial arts, and they are not allowed to step out of this circle for half a step; Whoever gets out of the circle first will lose. ”

Wang Jie was a little anxious, walked up to Li Yunhan, and arched his hand: "Brother, the younger brother is ugly." ”

"Okay, please." Li Yunhan nodded slightly.

Wang Jie wielded the long flute and Li Yunhan danced the sword, and the two immediately competed. For a long time, you can't tell the difference.

Wang Jie was thinking about winning the list, he was in a hurry, and even made killing moves, all of which were resolved by Li Yunhan one by one.

Ping Yu on the side had already seen it, and said with a smile: "Childe's shot is really ruthless." ”

Wang Jie glared back at her.

Li Yunhan took advantage of his unpreparedness and swept across with a prominent foot, Wang Jie couldn't dodge, and his body staggered out of the circle.

Seeing this, Ping Yu laughed and said, "Martial arts test, Li Yunhan wins." ”

Next is the essay exam.

Ping Yu said: "The two poems are famous, and it is really difficult to be equal, so it is better to choose an instrument to play a song to determine whether you win or lose." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, the laxative pill began to work, and she felt a pain in her abdomen.

Wang Jie smiled and said, "Okay, this is my strength. After speaking, he played the long flute and played, but it was a song "Liangzhou Ci": "The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, and there is a lonely city and ten thousand mountains......"

At this time, Ping Yu suddenly felt very uncomfortable in her stomach, how could it be difficult to finish the song for a long time, she wanted to leave but was embarrassed.

Li Wu noticed it and asked her softly what was wrong?

"It hurts, it hurts." Ping Yu clutched his stomach.

finally waited until the song was played, Ping Yu's face was already pale and constricted in pain, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, it's not ...... compare."

"No, and me." Li Yunhan was not happy.

Li Wu got up, glared at him and said, "It's not comparable!" ”

Wang Jie said that the winner has not yet been decided.

"Sister-in-law, let's go." Li Wu ignored it, and Ning Xin helped Ping Yu and left slowly.

"Senior sister, please tell me Master's whereabouts." Li Yunhan said loudly.

Ping Yu stopped his steps and turned around, holding his stomach and said weakly: "Nine-Lotus-Peak." ”

After Ping Yu walked away, he went to the toilet several times in a row before he was in a hurry; She collapsed, waited for the medicine, and lay on the bed for a long time before gradually recovering her spirits.

Li Wu looked at her listless appearance and asked, "My sister-in-law has always been good at vegetarian coarse rice on weekdays, how could such a strange illness suddenly occur......

Ping Yu drooped his face and smiled bitterly.

"Could it be that elixir?" Ning Xin Dao.

"Well, I also suspect that this Dan is fake." Ping Yu used his strength and barely sat up straight, "Alas, this time it will make me miserable......"

Li Wan said that it was all to blame for Li Yunhan, what kind of elixir she offered, which made her suffer so much.

"Hmph, if you dare to trick me, then you want to be on the list!" Ping Yu gritted his teeth with hatred, and then ordered Ning Xin to go to Dai Xixun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, to help Wang Jie become the champion.
