Chapter 113: Liangshan III
Yan Sheng sent a secret letter to put on the agarwood case of Xinghan Pavilion, and he was curious about the content of the letter, but he was afraid that the adults would blame him, so he only glanced at it and went to study the ink by himself.
Zuo Qing was still sorting out the books, full of ancient books and new books arranged in an orderly manner on the shelves.
Yan Sheng muttered in his heart: I don't know what the adults in charge are still paying attention to, these books have already been read by adults, but they have been reluctant to abandon them in the box.
"Sir, don't you read the letter?" Yan Sheng couldn't help but remind him.
Zuo Qing's movements stopped abruptly, glanced back at him, slowly put the book back, picked up the letter, hesitated for a moment before opening it, and then burned it again.
"What's on the letter?" Yansheng asked him.
"The secret stake planted in Liangshan has forged the holy decree, and has been disguised as the new prefectural commander transferred from Kyoto to the past, and has successfully entered the Liangshan County Ya, and is currently investigating the special cases that have occurred in Liangshan in recent years, hoping to capture the news about the gold mine."
"Isn't that good," Yan Sheng always felt that he had something on his mind, "why is the adult unhappy?" ”
"He said that the county lieutenant and the chief bookkeeper of Liangshan were very cautious and cunning, and seemed to have been testing him."
"How's that for good? If it is discovered, will it not be a waste of all its efforts? ”
"This person's forged decree is false and true, and it should be difficult for them to distinguish the truth from the fake, perhaps it is just the death of the previous prefectural commander that makes them nervous. But in any case, we don't have much time left. Zuo Qing walked out of the room and stood in the courtyard, those trees grew very well, but they became a stark contrast to himself.
"When he comes back from Liangshan, everything will be over."
Yan Sheng noticed the lush bushes, knew it, didn't bother anymore, and went back to the room to continue his work.
South Lake, West Building Fishing for half a day, bamboo basket has been harvested. Su Yan squatted on the side and watched attentively, and there was a sudden sound on the surface of the lake, and as the water around the fishing line surged, a big carp was dragged out of the lake.
"Wow! This one is bigger than the one just now, and the carp feast has landed in the evening! ”
Xilou proudly put the fish into the bamboo basket and said to her: "A few years ago, the South Lake was still dead and silent, and I passed by to see it, and I felt that it was really lifeless, so I asked people to raise some fish." Somehow, I thought that some people might like carp in the future, so I raised carp. ”
"Well, it's fateful."
Xilou looked at her gently, "Yes, fate." ”
Su Yan was counting the fish and didn't pay attention to his words.
One, two... Rokujo... Ten of a kind!
"Enough is enough, steam, stir-fry, and then roast, sprinkle some salt on it, tsk, tsk, you can starve to death the people in the school next door!" Su Yanmei covered the bamboo basket, patted his head and said, "You worked hard today, don't forget to come to the banquet tonight." ”
Xilou nodded wildly, with a yearning expression: "Then I'll bring wine!" ”
"Don't be, I was drunk unconscious last time, and I almost became a joke in the academy! People want to face trees and bark, I'd better drink tea! With that, he ran away.
At night, in the water pavilion of the Shan Courtyard.
Yan Zhen sat awkwardly between the West Building and Su Yan, facing a table of wine and food, but he was not interested at all, look at this, look at that, and knew in his heart: Sure enough, my sister doesn't like the hypocrite of Xilou, otherwise why would she have to pull herself and Buddha to accompany her. But... What is King Yao here to join in? He continued to observe, but saw King Yao looking at Su Yan with an obsessive expression, and he didn't notice that the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table.
Yan Zhen was annoyed, he shouldn't have told this nerd at the time!
Su Yan enthusiastically served vegetables to everyone, and saw that Xilou's originally delicate face was full of clouds at this time, and couldn't help but secretly snicker.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't drink?"
Suddenly, someone spoke, and Yan Zhen came back to his senses suddenly, but King Yao was still immersed in his own world.
"This wine is precious, I don't drink it, you can!" As he spoke, Su Yan brought the wine jar over and filled it for them, "The backyard is hidden, and the best plum blossom is brewed!" This jar is gone, everyone drink it! ”
The chief of the west building sighed and drank the wine down.
Between the staggering, everyone was a little drunk. King Yao held Su Yan's arm and kept muttering, Yan Zhen leaned over to eavesdrop, it turned out that he was talking about his father. It seems that this guy's popularity in the palace is only superficial, but the estrangement between father and son and between brothers is real.
The West Building did not stain a drop of wine, drinking tea alone, and glancing at Su Yan from time to time.
But the Buddha is one cup after another, which is to get drunk and vow not to give up. Su Yan snatched the cup and held back his anger, "Why are you drinking so much?" Who said he wanted to drink a few days ago, why did he drink himself at this time! ”
Buddha just looked at her, picked up the wine jar and continued.
King Yao was dumbfounded, and asked Su Yan in a low voice, "Stimulated?" ”
Su Yan didn't have time to pay attention to him, reached out and snatched her wine jar again, and threw it into the lake casually, "Yes, don't drink it, eat vegetables." ”
Buddha said coldly: "This is not the time," she got up, looked at the west building and said, "I have always been alone, and at this time you suddenly got together, I was a little uncomfortable, so I went back first." ”
Yan Zhen was worried about the Buddha on the one hand, but on the other hand, he couldn't worry about Su Yan, and after weighing it, he still followed, and before leaving, he signaled King Yao with his eyes, stay well, don't go!
King Yao received the message, nodded firmly, then stood up and said, "It's not too early, this king should also go back to the palace." ”
In the eyes of the West Building, King Yao also left, leaving only Su Yan and him...
……
"What's the situation?"
Xilou handed her the tea and said with a smile: "They are all people who understand." ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
Xilou couldn't help but laugh, unwilling to say it clearly. Su Yan didn't understand, but she seemed to understand half of Xilou's sneaky appearance, and was about to leave with a red face, but was stopped by Xilou, "I have something to say, wait first." ”
"The Buddha is drunk, I'll go and see..."
"I'm going to Chu in a few days, where is your home, do you want to go back and see?"
When Su Yan heard Chu Guo, his heart tightened. I came out of there to find Master, but now that time has flown by, I have forgotten about this most important matter... Master has been robbing relatives for so long, will he have gone back, if he knows that Li Ghost will definitely make trouble if he occupies the tavern, and if he makes trouble, he will hurt the innocent, Master has practiced martial arts for many years, and he doesn't know if he kills people in the rivers and lakes, but he must have hurt people, if he seriously injured Li Gui, with the character of that profiteer, he will definitely make Master pay a sky-high price... Where did you get so much money to lose? Will Master sell himself to pay off his debts?
Su Yan couldn't help but worry a lot, but these could also happen.
"When are you leaving?" Su Yan asked nervously.
The teacup in Xilou's hand almost fell to the ground, but she didn't expect her to agree so refreshingly, and she couldn't react for a while, "You... Say what? ”
Su Yan pressed his arm, and his mind was decided: "The school exam has passed, and there are no important classes in the future, I will go to take leave tomorrow, let's go at any time!" ”
……
"You don't... Think again? ”
"What to consider! I'm not selling in the academy, and I still have a break from the long work, don't grind and chirp, and leave early tomorrow morning! ”
Su Yan was eager to return to her hometown, but she couldn't help but make the decision, and the departure date depended on the progress of the prince's side.
Xilou told Zuo Qing the news, but Zuo Qing didn't react, but said lightly: Bring more food.
There was no turmoil on the side of the imperial court, and Mo Fei received His Majesty's will and set off for Zhao at any time to fight for weapons.
Zuo Qing thought about it all night, and felt more and more strange about this matter, because everything came too easily!
According to Murphy's character in the past, he categorically would not leave Kyoto under such circumstances, and lost control of the three provinces and six departments, would he leave with confidence? It's incomprehensible!
On the second day, the time when Murphy left was also the moment when Xilou and Su Yan left.
According to Zuo Qing's advice, the two set off after Murphy left Kyoto, and the name was Su Yan's return to his hometown to visit relatives, and Xilou, as Su Yan's future husband, naturally wanted to go together. The students of the academy looked at the couple and discussed in private: Mr. Su is going to be raw rice and cooked rice! That house manager should also be the default... What about the poor Buddha? It's a good guy who has been in love with a true heart for many years, and it ended at an alarming speed before it even started...... It's a pity!
A corner of white clothes disappeared into the moon gate in the corner of the courtyard, the breeze blew, and the leaves fell on the ground.
"Can they meet Zuo Qing before they go to Chu State?" The voice of Jinyun City sounded in the pavilion under the dangerous peak in the summer resort. The white skirt of the chimney was blown by the mountain wind, and the chill that came from the cracks in the mountain peaks swept across every inch of her cheeks, always reminding her that the danger of this huge academy was no less than that of the imperial palace.
The masked dead man hunched his back slightly, and his voice was so hoarse that he could barely hear it: "I've seen it a few times." Since the appearance of the weapon spectrum in Zhao State, Zuo Qing has not made any movement, and he thought that he was not interested in it, but Master Mo left Beijing with Su Yan as soon as he left the West Building, and he wanted to be inseparable from Zuo Qing. ”
"Three provinces and six departments have had accidents one after another, and at this time there is a weapon spectrum, you say, isn't it strange?"
"You mean... Having a problem with this message? ”
"Somebody wants to break Murphy, it's supposed to be something. Before Murphy left Beijing, he told me to stare at Zuo Qing, and now it seems that Murphy still underestimated him as an adopted son. You keep an eye on them, and keep abreast of their whereabouts with me. ”
"Yes!" The dead man fell to the ground, saluted respectfully, and disappeared between the canopies.
Jinyun City looked at the pines and cypresses a hundred meters above his head, the light was scattered by it, and there were unknown things flickering between the mottled shadows on the stone wall, just like this Kyoto, an invisible dense net that moved at any time shrouded it, and there were sharp knives hanging everywhere on the dense net, as well as unknown traps, one wrong step, the slightest carelessness, it was death without a place to be buried! And she is just a member of this secret net, trapped like Zuo Qing and Su Yan.
Jin Yuncheng stretched out his palm, and the handkerchief was as clean as new, if there were no blood stains, it should also be something that could see the light...... Then if it weren't for those dirty pasts, she and Mo Xuan should be able to be ordinary women, right? Jin Yuncheng thought about the 'if', thinking about those impossible futures, and sadness slowly appeared on the corners of his mouth.
Moxuan... Mo Xuan, if you didn't have me, what a good girl you would be, but unfortunately, you met me and followed me on the road of murder, and the life debt in your hand will not be paid off in this life! But I will die for you, let me do all the murder, and let me pay your debts! You will live a hundred years and die! (According to this, modify the reason why Jinyun City stayed with Murphy: they were the dead soldiers who were collected by Murphy, given to the general of Linguo, and fled after being killed by Mo Xuan, and the general revealed before his death that Jin Yun Cheng's life experience was related to Murphy, and Jin Yun Cheng threw himself into Murphy's door in order to reveal his life experience and fill his stomach, and Mo Xuan has been following for his sister. Jinyun City became the leader of the dead soldiers, and took charge of hundreds of dead soldiers instead of Mo Fei. Murphy knew her purpose, but he still accepted her, because no one knew about the original matter except for the dead generals and the royal family of Chu State. Jinyun City has also been looking for it to no avail. Obeying Murphy's orders is also a helpless move, after all, once you enter this door, it is as deep as the sea, and from then on freedom is a passerby)
Su Yan took the package and threw it into the carriage, but he bumped into Yan Zhen who was sitting inside, and he was really startled.
"Why are you here?"
"I'll send you!" Yan Zhen held his chin and looked like a good child.
Su Yan muttered in his heart: Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief! She jumped into the carriage, and when Xilou saw that Yan Zhen was there, she retreated and asked someone to bring a new carriage again.
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Yan Zhen's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly sat down: "I heard that you are going to Chu State?" ”
"Aang."
"Where is the capital?"
"Country."
"Is there a good-looking woman?"
Su Yan frowned and looked at him: "I thought you liked men!" Yan Zhen's face was ruddy, and he looked too feminine at this time, "Even if you like women, if there is more water and beautiful women, why do you go all the way to Chu to find it?" ”
"I heard that there are many beautiful women in the south of the Yangtze River in the Chu Kingdom, just like you, sister, you were born so standard just after living in the Jiangnan for a few years, so the rumors are true, I must go to the Chu Kingdom to find a beautiful woman!"
Looking at Yan Zhen's enthusiastic attitude, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: If the master was so good at talking back then, he would not have lost his beauty.
Su Yan didn't bother to pay attention to him, and planned to leave him behind when he passed by Yunlai Pavilion.
The carriage staggered into an alley and finally stopped under a banyan tree with a cyan plaque that read 'Yunlai Pavilion'.
Before Su Yan got out of the car, he heard a "yo~" from a long distance in the form of thunder, and then saw that the MILFs were as red as a monkey's ass and almost pasted up, Su Yan was so frightened that she hurriedly shrank her neck and slipped under her already open arms, refusing this warm welcome. The fell into Yan Zhen's arms, supported the bulky headdress, raised her head and stared at Yan Zhen, and it took a long time to see the face of the person in front of her clearly, but she was startled.
"Mother!" Xu was too frightened, her stomach suddenly churned, she hiccuped, and the wine and food almost vomited in Yan Zhen's arms.
Su Yan's eyebrows were almost squeezed together, and she quickly called a few maids to help her back.
The West Building had just gotten off the bus, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but wonder. also drink alcohol, but they never get drunk, what happened?
's boudoir is very unique, no, it should be described as weird, full of color, all the displays are monotonous, the curtains everywhere swing without wind, as soon as you step into here, there is a kind of... The illusion of condolence.
Su Yan shuddered, and hurriedly walked closer to the West Building. Yan Zhen also found the strangeness here, but he was not as low-key as Su Yan, and shouted loudly with disgust: "What kind of place is it, like a dead man's corpse, sleeping here and not scaring yourself to death?" ”
The sound beckoned the girls who passed by the door to poke their heads here.
The suddenly let go of the maid who was supporting her, stumbled over and grabbed Yan Zhen, and shouted: "You are just a dead man, what do you know, this is designed by the most famous master in Kyoto, once..." Although this man was drunk and unconscious, when someone said bad things about him, his ears were so spiritual that he could no longer be spiritual.
Yan Zhen took her hand away and said to her: "Look at your house, it's gloomy, that person has a grudge against you, I wish you hurried..."
"If you're tired, go lie down for a while." Su Yan held her and helped her back to the bed.
"The man also said, I have good feng shui here, I will definitely be able to attract fortune, this is the location on the edge of the dragon vein in Kyoto, and the daughter will not be changed!" MILFs sat on the bed, suddenly pushed Su Yan away, snatched the pillow from her hand, stared at her angrily, almost oozing blood, Su Yan was frightened, and asked cautiously: "MILFs, you, what's wrong with you?" ”
She didn't seem to hear, gently stroked and patted the pillow, her gesture was extremely gentle, and she didn't know what she was whispering. Yan Zhen smiled: "You see that she is so drunk that she is going crazy, and she actually coaxes the pillow as a child!" ”
Looking at the' actions again, they are really coaxing the child, but... never said she had children.
Su Yan covered the quilt for her, and instructed her subordinates to boil a pot of sobering soup and bring a basin of boiling water.
Yan Zhen was originally going to drink flower wine and have fun, but he didn't expect to be mixed up by the, who were sitting at the window at the moment staring at them angrily, cursing from time to time: "Half-old, it's really a bad person, it's not a good thing, it's not drunk early or late, but it's drunk at this time, why don't you get drunk so easily before!" ”
"Eldest young master, you have a good amount of alcohol, don't you allow others to be worse?"
"Don't you know, have always had a good amount of wine, and they don't get drunk with a thousand glasses! Did you say that this time she drank fake wine, and she was actually drunk! As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, rolled down the window and disappeared without a trace.
Su Yan sighed, he must have wanted to go to the cellar to steal wine while the were drunk and unconscious!
At this time, the surroundings were quiet, and the were still holding the pillow tightly, as if they were holding a newborn child.
"I've never asked about your past, what are you hiding?"
Xilou, who has been standing at the door to observe, has been staring at the pillow in the arms of the, and the movements of the are completely the knee-jerk reaction of a mother protecting her child, which cannot be learned... But never said that she had children, and her past seemed to only stay in Zuo Qing's memories, how she rescued Zuo Qing in the crisis of being beheaded, and how she avoided the army guards... How did the official lady have such a powerful background in the world in an instant after the family was destroyed? Now that I think about it, it's all suspicious.
These, didn't Zuo Qing ever think about it?
There was a strange feeling spreading in Xilou's heart, that feeling was untouchable, but it was close at hand.
After keeping watch all night, in the early morning of the next day, finally opened their eyes and looked at Su Yan, who was smiling at her on the side of the bed, so frightened that she almost pouted.
"Yikes! What are you doing sitting here, girl? You're going to scare my mother to death! patted their chests and gasped.
Su Yan leaned over and sniffed, "You have something." ”
"What bad intentions do you have?" hid back, "I'm just drinking a little wine, who doesn't drink in the Qinglou, you are too lenient!" ”
Su Yan pointed to the pillow in her arms, "What are you holding the pillow for?" ”
quietly let go of their hands, then patted them, and smiled awkwardly: "The taste is a little heavy, don't mind..."
Su Yan raised his eyebrows. are hard-hearted, and they don't plan to say it, and it makes no sense to ask them any longer, and it's easy to hurt face. After thinking about it, she followed her lie and pretended to pinch her nose in disgust: "What else did you eat last night, the taste is so rushing, it's okay not to get close, and you almost sent me away when you got close!" ”
breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't you just eat a few bites of sour tofu, where is it so delicious!" ”
"Hey, can that thing be eaten?"
"How many cans are left in the back kitchen, but do you want to take some with you?"
Su Yan dodged away and hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, you don't have to, you can keep it for yourself." She thought that Yunlai Pavilion should have some good things, and asked, "Sour tofu is not necessary, but there are other good things?" ”
glanced at it and sneered: "Serve me all night, and sure enough, there are other plans." Say, what do you want? ”
"Not much, just wine!" Su Yan blinked her bright eyes, but' hearts twitched a few times.
When you're older, it's time to make up for it.
Before leaving, Su Yan saw the top brand again, Mo Xuan, and greeted her politely, but Mo Xuan only looked down at her coldly from the stairs and didn't say a word. Su Yan felt uncomfortable and hurriedly turned his head to leave.
looked back at Mo Xuan, turned their heads for a moment, Mo Xuan's cold face had been put away, and said to with a smile: "This Mo is not Mr. Su?" looks good and handsome, and has a lot of manliness. ”
smiled: "Naturally, this Mr. Su is extraordinary, not only good-looking, but also very brave and resourceful." ”
"She's going on a long journey?"
were puzzled: "Far away?" She didn't say, where can she go, go back to Chu? ”
After that, he was already standing in front of Mo Xuan, but Mo Xuan fell into deep thought. I bumped into Yan Zhen last night, and it seemed that I was going somewhere..."Hongji Town is the only way to go to Chu State, and Liangshan is nearby..."
' wine has not yet woken up, and at this time the ears are not bright, only to hear Hongji Town, and said with a smile, no, I heard that the girls in Hongji Town are particularly exquisite, and I have to pull one or two back another day. Mo Xuan glanced back indifferently and turned back to his room.
The ate a closed door and pulled their handkerchiefs unhappily: "I'm just saying it casually, don't listen to it!" ”
When Yanzhen woke up, he found himself lying in the cellar, still holding the wine jar that was about to be moved away in his arms, and there was not much hemp left at his feet...
Grandma's, which daring turtle grandson is this stunned Lao Tzu? Yan Zhen was furious, and was about to pull the door out to look for trouble, but found a letter tied to his wrist, and a few taels of silver slipped out of the letter.
"Grandma's!" Yan Zhen cursed, picked up the silver and muttered: "I said that I would take me with me, but I forgot my brother when I saw it, I am worth these taels of silver?" ”
