Chapter 80: The Storm is Coming
The mountain breeze blows, the green light ancient temple, Zhongshan Temple.
Changsun Xi walked all the way into the empty backyard and entered the west wing. A person was helped up in front of him, and the cloak fell in the wind, revealing a gloomy face--Song Yiyan.
Changsun Xi grabbed the pot of water indiscriminately, raised his head and drank a few big sips, gasped and said, "Damn Su Yan, she escaped again!" If you want to eradicate her in the future, it will be difficult. ”
Ge Yiyan sneered: "What can a mere Shuyoutang teacher hinder you, as for you to kill her like you're so crazy?" ”
"Humph! Su Yan... Su Yan! She looked fierce, "If it weren't for her, how could I be transferred to Leshengtang, how could my cousin be confused by her, and it would be impossible for the dead girl of the eldest grandson to talk back to me!" It's all her fault, her appearance, ruining everything for me! ”
Ge Yiyan showed a disdainful expression: "Emperor Rong hasn't settled accounts with you about hunting, and he was almost killed by you that day!" ”
"It's obvious that you're useless, and you blame me for acting recklessly? I've got a lot of plans for you, but you didn't grasp it. ”
Ge Yiyan approached her step by step, smashing it with one palm, and Changsun Xi couldn't dodge it and fell on the door. The wind brushed his cheek and smashed the door through a hole.
"Why are you angry with me, it's not the first time we've cooperated, what's the hurry!" The eldest grandson Xi quickly adjusted his breath and pretended to be calm.
"Such a great opportunity, but it's a pity to wait a few more years! Tell me, how else can I do it? Could it be that he killed Zuo Qing in the academy? Or do you want to say, use that Su Yan, contain him, and let him fish for me? ”
Changsun Xi's face gradually distorted: "It's not a good way." ”
Wang fu.
"Lord Wang, why didn't you come forward to stop the princess?" Su Ming pinched his knees for the old man on the couch, Prince Zheng fought all the year round, fell from a leg disease, and always fell ill from time to time, which made him suffer from unbearable pain, but there was no cure.
The night was dark, and the palace was immersed in tranquility, but Ge Zheng's eyes were like rivers and seas, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
"Su Ming, in this world, there are too many helplessness, the princess and I are married, it is an important factor in the friendship between the two families, although Su Yan is my daughter, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is just a person with a bad background, if I come forward, not only will it hurt the princess's heart, but also chill the heart of the eldest grandson's family, even if I have ten thousand reasons, I can't protect her."
Su Ming still couldn't figure it out: "But she..."
"Ah Yan has been friends with you for ten years, like father and daughter, you should know her, she is very smart."
But no matter how smart she is, if she encounters a well-planned layout, she will not be able to get out, if it weren't for the princess just wanting to warn this time, I'm afraid she would ......
Prince Zheng saw through what he thought, patted the back of his hand kindly, and got up slowly, "Don't worry, although the princess is domineering, she will not cause trouble." ”
Su Ming nodded, and the next moment his face was full of sadness: "Our princess misunderstood Ah Yan and Yanzhen, but I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future." ”
Prince Zheng's smile suddenly darkened, and he had been separated from his daughter for nine years, and finally waited for her to come back, but he couldn't protect her, in the final analysis, it was his own incompetence.
Su Ming couldn't bear to see the prince blame himself, and said eagerly: "Prince, you have done enough, Ah Yan will know in the future, and he will definitely understand you." ”
The night was cold and windy, and the lanterns swayed under the eaves, the faint light flickered, and they were almost extinguished.
Su Ming looked at the eaves, and stood on the high Fusang steps in his mind, with a plain face, dressed in gorgeous clothes, and looked at the world, but the eyes that looked at the world gradually shed blood and tears, and the sky was raining, and the blood flooded the Fusang Palace......
The next day, there was still fine snow falling, and the college was covered in snow, and the people were busy clearing the snow and the students were busy having snowball fights. Xilou received Yansheng's creed, and immediately got up to visit the Zen Meditation Temple, and only when he entered the door did he see Zuo Qing looking down at the bookcase. He asked curiously, "You called me early in the morning, could it be that you came to see you in a daze?" ”
Zuo Qing picked up a piece of paper and showed it to him, "What do you think?" ”
Xilou took a closer look, touched his chin, and replied, "Kyoto map?" ”
Zuo Qing pointed to a black dot in the center of the painting, "This is the most prosperous street in Kyoto, with Yunlai Pavilion at the end, and the bustling city on the other side, where the poor, outsiders without household registration, and those domestic servants who have committed crimes and have been driven away are crowded here." ”
The index finger of the West Building pointed to a strange pattern in the upper left corner and asked, "Then what is this?" ”
Zuo Qing didn't answer, but said strangely: "Don't you think this place is familiar?" ”
Xilou glanced at him and suddenly realized: "Dark market!" Do you have a way to deal with Tan Cen? ”
Zuo Qing put away the map, "To deal with him, you first need to check someone." ”
Xilou hurriedly asked, "Who?" ”
"That's what you reminded me before, Eldest Sun Xi." Zuo Qing said slowly, "I sent someone to follow her, and found that she went to the dark market to sell maids, I checked the maid, and found that Changsun Xi would dress up in disguise every month, and go to the major fireworks places in Kyoto with several men to drink, every time the maid followed, Changsun Xi sold her, there must be an ulterior secret." ”
Xilou was not curious about the maid's affairs, curious about the fact that Changsun Xi and the man went to visit the Qinglou together, and felt that it was really strange, so he told his guess: "Ah Yan also often goes to Yunlai Pavilion, but he only goes to drink casually, and there is no man to accompany him, I think, this Changsun Xi went to the Qinglou to drink is fake, and it is true to mess with those men!" ”
Zuo Qing nodded and said, "Naturally." ”
Xilou was uneasy: "You want to..."
Zuo Qing's thin lips raised, "Ruoshui has been too quiet recently, and people on the streets and alleys have not even drunk and eaten." As he spoke, he turned around and opened the window, and a cold wind blew in, and he reflexively held his breath for a long time before he could get used to the cold air from the window.
As soon as the west building left, Zuo Qing opened the map on the table, and there was a portrait pressed underneath, the woman in the painting held a short sword, with a bright and relaxed smile on her face, shining like a sunflower in the painting. Zuo Qing looked at it blankly, not knowing whether to be more happy or sad.
The wind blows on the green screen, and the sandalwood curls. Zuo Qing stood in the cold wind, smiling slightly, for a long time, only a cold face remained.
Yansheng opened the door and entered, glanced at the portrait on the case, and his eyes fell on the water stains at the door, and his heart ached faintly.
"My lord, do you want to do it?"
Zuo Qing asked him: "I asked you to check Chang Sun Xi's movements before, how did you check it?" ”
"I went to Yunlai Pavilion recently, but it's almost closed in recent years, so I guess she shouldn't go again."
Zuo Qing frowned in disgust, "Not necessarily, you go and inform the first, and once the two meet in private, report to the official immediately." ”
Yan Sheng was a little surprised, "That.... Not so good. ”
"They don't do bad things, and I can't hold on to them, right?"
Yan Sheng was ordered to retreat.
