Chapter 172: The Water of Forgetfulness in the Wine

Zuo Shifu is located in the alley east of the fake capital Minghefang, which is not far from the original Jiusi Mansion.

The boy named Tranquility was silently walking in the alley at this time, looking up at the earthly sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

From time to time, when pedestrians pass by, looking at this young man and looking at it a little, there is often a look of surprise on his face.

After all, the young official of Zuo Shi Mansion was quiet, because he offended the king, he was brought back from the palace and locked up in Zuo Shi Mansion, and the people around here still know more or less.

How can there be a confinement in the world that you can wander in the alleys?

The people didn't know what was happening, so they silently walked past the boy.

Tranquility didn't care what others were thinking, just walked quietly in the alley until she came to the end of the alley, where it led to the main long street of Minghefang, and the original Jiusi Mansion was all on this street.

The young man walked to the end of the alley, did not go out again, just looked up at the corner of the alley wall, a stone tablet that was newly inserted under the tree at the end of the alley at some point, and there were only three simple big characters on the tablet - Zuo Shifu.

Tranquility thought calmly, of course I was grounding.

But no one has said that the Zuo Shifu can't be expanded.

Of course, the Zuo Shifu can be expanded, but such things often need to be discussed by the ministers in the palace and handed over to the king for ruling.

It's just that the king from the Liuyun Sword Sect looks lazy about the government, probably such a thing, he really doesn't know.

Serenity's gaze moved away from the stone tablet and landed on the stone brick that was level with the stone tablet, and then silently moved his feet until the toes of his shoes were level with the slate line, and the young man raised his head, reached out against the alley wall, and then leaned his body and leaned out.

Minghefang Long Street is very quiet, much quieter than the name of this teenager.

Probably those ministers who returned to the ancient system from the Nine Divisions are still in the palace hall and have not returned - if the king of Chu does not go to the palace, there is naturally a lack of some people to make the final decision, and probably many things are easy to dispute.

Tranquility watched silently there for a while, but retracted his head a little melancholy, lowered his head, only to find that he had accidentally pushed the tip of his shoe against the boundary between the stone tablet and the stone slab, the young man was a little panicked, hurriedly stepped back a little, and looked around again, probably no one noticed here, and Tranquility settled down a little.

After all, he is a grounded person after all.

Ning Ning thought silently, thought about it, and decided to go back to Zuo Shifu.

It was only when the boy began to turn around that he heard a very noisy sound from the street outside, faintly accompanied by the panicked shouts of many fake pedestrians.

A hint of bad premonition flashed through Tranquility's heart, and she turned back to the alley, aligned her shoes on the stone slab, and poked her head out against the alley wall again.

The pedestrians on Minghefang Street all stopped and looked in one direction with a surprised expression.

Tranquility followed everyone's gaze all the way, and finally stopped in front of the current Lingyin Mansion of the former Fengchang Mansion.

There were two palace attendants, and there were quite a few people gathered there, and there seemed to be something parked in front of the mansion gate, but tranquility could not look beyond the crowd to see what it was.

It's just that from the frightened and confused looks of everyone in the workshop, it can be seen that something very big has probably happened.

The two attendants were probably also a little uneasy in their hearts, and they stood there hesitantly, pressing the sword on their waists, and hesitated for a long time before they said slowly: "Lord Yin overworked for state affairs, and died of a sudden brain attack during today's palace discussion......"

Tranquility stood in the alley incredibly, listening to the voices coming from in front of the Bongchang Mansion.

How is this possible?

The young man thought in surprise in his heart, and subconsciously wanted to go out of the alley, cross the long street, and go to Ling Yin's Mansion to have a look.

It was only when he raised his feet that he caught a glimpse of the stone tablet engraved with Zuo Shifu.

Tranquility put down his feet again, and stood there silent for a long time, as if he had made up some kind of determination, the young man bent down and pulled out the stone tablet that was only roughly buried near the root of the tree, and then clamped the stone tablet with dirt under his arm, and hurriedly ran towards Ling Yin's mansion.

As the words of the attendants fell, the entire long street fell silent, probably when the Witch Ghost Dao and the Hanging Courtyard were wrestling in the middle of the workshop, there was no such silence, and everyone's faces were as if they had heard something extremely ridiculous.

Tranquility didn't know what it was that made everyone have such a look on their faces, and ran to the front of the mansion panting with the stone tablet in his hand, and squeezed away the people who were surrounded by water, and squeezed into the middle.

When he saw the scene in front of the mansion, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at the two palace attendants with swords in great astonishment.

......

What will become of a man who falls from a height of 100 feet?

The people of the Fake Capital have probably never experienced anything like this.

I heard that when Li Asan launched a war against Huangliang, he once made people jump down from the Youhuang Mountain Range, and floated to the Moque City Pass with the help of wind power and Daomen techniques.

At that time, many armor fell down due to the failure of the machine, and even the corpses could not be found.

The Youhuang Mountain Range is more than 2,000 zhang, and it is naturally difficult to find the body.

But for the height of 100 feet, it may still be possible to recover those broken corpse parts.

......

In front of Ling Yin's Mansion was a mass of rotten flesh and broken bones that had been forcibly gathered up.

Whether those things are Lord Ling Yin or not needs to be said separately, but .....

It's just like everyone was shocked to get wrong.

Who has a brain disease that would make people die like this?

Everyone's eyes fell in silence on the faces of the two attendants who had brought these things back.

The two of them pressed the sword at their waists very nervously, silently looking at the pedestrians of Minghefang.

Huangliang accompanied the emperor to lose power for thousands of years, and sometimes the influence on the people of the fake capital is far inferior to Jiusi, so even if the two of them are the close attendants of the current King of Chu, when they stand in the Minghe Fang, they probably won't have any confidence.

The gaze is undoubtedly powerful.

The two of them seemed to have seen the four words of verbal criticism and penmanship, which became a literal thing, and turned into a sword and fell on their bodies.

After hesitating for a long time, the two said softly, "It was the king who told us to say so." ”

The moment the young man with the stone tablet under his arm heard this, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the imperial palace north of the fake capital.

His expression was probably full of horror.

......

The matter of winemaking in the palace is actually not a trivial matter, this matter is under the authority of Xinzao Yin, after the old wine made some good wine for the cold cicada, the king of Chu even gave them the Falling Star Hall in the south of the palace, which was specially used for wine-making matters.

At the beginning, Yan Li actually drank a lot, but he was probably not as generous as the chilling cicada.

It's just that although the Falling Star Hall was given to these wine-making craftsmen, they didn't really use such a large hall whose role had long been unknown for winemaking, but only built some small courtyards nearby for winemaking.

However, near such a large hall, the smell of sake lees still wafted through.

Because of the reason for trying the method of Huai'an winemaking, these tastes probably don't smell very good.

Chen Jiu was there to study some wine-making matters, when he heard a waiter from outside the courtyard, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, but they had met after all.

Although Chen Jiu didn't know what was happening, he still got up and greeted him.

The waiter's expression was very complicated, and he stood there silently looking at the old wine, and then said softly, "Your Majesty asked you to send the wine over." ”

Chen Jiu hesitated for a moment, and asked carefully, "What kind of wine do you want?" ”

"Any kind of wine."

Chen Jiu was a little confused about what His Majesty meant, and wanted to ask a little more, but his eyes caught a glimpse of a touch of blood on the corner of the clothes of the close attendant.

This made a lot of vigilance instantly rise in the heart of this former servant, and after a little silence, the servant bowed silently and said softly: "The subordinate will send it over for His Majesty later." ”

The attendant said nothing, nodded, and turned away from the wine-making land.

Chen Jiu stood there silently, looking at the back of the attendant who was far away, and when he turned around, he found that Gong Zhongjiu was standing behind him.

"You see that streak of blood, too?"

The wine was looking down at the old wine and asked slowly.

Chen Jiu was silent for a while, and said softly, "Yes." ”

The two stood there in silence and stared at each other for a long time, and the wine was reaching into his sleeve and pulling out a very simple little bottle.

Chen Jiu looked at it silently for a long time, and then said softly, "What is this?" ”

Jiu Zheng said calmly: "Forget the worries of the water, the world can forget the things of the past when you drink it......"

Chen Jiu naturally knew that he didn't have anything to forget, and after hesitating for a while, the winemaker slowly asked, "What if the king drinks it?" ”

Jiu Zheng didn't answer, but just handed the small bottle to Chen Jiu's arms.

Chen Jiu was very frightened in his heart, holding such a small bottle, and his hands trembled uncontrollably.

In fact, such a servant didn't understand what was going on, but it was just such a bloody color, which made this attendant who had personally come out of the story of the wind and snow Kyoto have a lot of uneasy fears in his heart.

"How is the water of forgetting? And how do adults get these things? ”

The unknown wine was looking back at the former servant quietly, and said softly, "Sent by Zuo Shifu." ”

Jiuzheng's expression was calm, and he continued: "You don't have to worry about these things being discovered by the king......

The lord turned his head and said very calmly, "In fact, we have added these things to the wine from the time you brought the tenth pot of wine to the king. ”

Chen Jiu stood there stunned.

He probably never thought that just because he hesitated for a moment when he saw that blood, many stories appeared in front of his eyes.

Chen Jiu lowered his head and silently uncorked the small bottle in his hand, but such a servant was stunned.

It seems that the bottle is just some river water that is not very clear.

He sniffed and went, but he didn't smell anything else, but he didn't dare to really taste it.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Jiu left this place silently.

......

When the jug arrived, it wasn't too late, it wasn't too early.

When Chen Jiu walked up to the windward tower in the twilight with the wine, he saw the emperor's robe sprinkled on the ground and stained with fire dust.

Han Cicada held the sword in his hand that was not out of the sheath, but faintly had sword fire coming out of the sheath, and was standing quietly on the edge of the tall building, not knowing what he was looking at.

Chen Jiu's body trembled slightly, stood in the center of the building, and said softly: "Your Majesty, the wine is here." ”

The cicada stood there without looking back, and said calmly, "What kind of wine is it today?" ”

Chen Jiu took a deep breath and said softly: "The previous Huai'an wine has been drunk by the king, and the new wine has not yet been brewed, so this is Huangliang bitter wine. ”

The chiller didn't say anything.

Chen Jiu hesitated a little, stepped forward, knelt down at the low table in the middle of the building, took a wine glass, and poured a full glass into it.

Han Cicada listened to the sound of pouring wine behind him, but for some reason, he chuckled, held his sword and turned his head, looking at this former palace attendant who had chosen himself between Yan Li and himself.

"You seem to be a little nervous today."

Chen Jiu's movements trembled, but he almost knocked over the glass of wine, but fortunately, after all, he was a person in the palace, but his reaction was also fast, he hurriedly held the wine glass, put down the wine glass again, and knelt down in a hurry, prostrate beside the stove that had long been extinguished, and there was only some residual warmth.

"The king forgives the sin, the previous ministers saw the blood on the robes of their former colleagues, because they were worried that the king would have an accident, so they had been a little restless....."

Han Cicada looked at the glass of wine quietly, turned back calmly, and said slowly: "Today's Huangliang, who can surprise Lonely?" ”

As a four-fold sword cultivator from the Liuyun Sword Sect, in the north of the Hanging Xue Courtyard, the sword abyss withered and guarded, and the Witch Ghost Dao also did not appear in the human stories of the fake capital, and probably did have the strength that no one could surprise him.

Chen Jiu said softly: "It seems that the subordinate is too worried." ”

Standing calmly in the wind, the cicada whispered, "Go down." ”

Chen Jiu raised his head and looked hesitantly at the King of Chu who was not wearing the emperor's robe for a long time, and finally swallowed some of the words in his throat again.

"The subordinate retreats."

......

The young man with a stone tablet under his arm walked silently on the long street of the fake capital.

The night is about to fall.

Serenity looked up at the long street lights that grew thick in the twilight.

When the sky darkens, the lights are bright.

When those lights shone in the young man's eyes, they may have been extraordinarily bright.

The light in the quiet young man's eyes was like the moon in the middle of the lake, as wet as water.

This young man who studied history cultivation in Zuo Shifu watched for a long time before he finally lowered his head, not paying attention to the pedestrians who were looking at him in surprise under the lights.

There are too many stories in this world, of course, which have nothing to do with the world.

If it weren't for the fact that this young man had been in the Hanging Courtyard with the King of Chu, probably those things would not have anything to do with him.

People who study history are sometimes prone to have more and more surging emotions.

When immersed in the words of those years, it is often easy to give birth to a very strong sense of pride.

Tranquility may be like this.

So this young man had gone into the palace several times, taking advantage of the past intersection with the cold cicada, and said many words of exhortation to the king.

It's just that as Liu March said, in the end, they have to admit that they are indeed entrusted with no people.

Han Cicada has never been the emperor of Gu Chu, nor is it the emperor of Huang Liang.

He made the wrong choice to stumble into one of them by chance in a certain story.

Tranquility sandwiched the stone tablet engraved with Zuo Shifu, and walked silently on the long street.

It's still grounded.

After all, he always kept the three words of Zuo Shifu in front of him, so much so that he sandwiched the dirt at the bottom of those stone tablets on his clothes.

How big Zuo Shifu is, how far can the teenager go.

This is what the unknown Lord Zuo Shi told him when he was brought back and asked the adult.

So the stone tablet of Zuo Shifu was inserted outside the alley.

Of course, now it's probably going to be inserted into the palace.

This makes Tranquility sometimes feel like she has become a thief of the rules.

For the sake of benevolence and righteousness, it is necessary to steal it with benevolence and righteousness. - Tranquility doesn't know where she saw such a sentence, it should be when she was in the Hanging Courtyard?

Tranquility recalled, with some hesitation.

Although the boy was originally assigned to the Qingniujian Academy in the Fake Capital Hanging Temple, sometimes when he went to the Wenhua Yuan cafeteria to eat noodles, he would hear those Wenhua Academy students reciting something.

It should be from the green cow 5,000 words.

Tranquility thought uncertainly.

After all, he hadn't read it either, and it was possible that it was from another book.

But he had only heard 5,000 words from Qingniu, and he didn't know that in fact, many Taoist classics were not only studied in Qingniu Academy, but also in Wenhua Academy.

But that probably doesn't matter.

Tranquility silently pondered the words.

The young man who was confined to the Zuo Shi Mansion, but walked to the palace gate with a stone tablet, is probably indeed a person who steals from benevolence and righteousness.

Tranquility stopped in front of the palace gates.

There was already an adult standing in front of the gate of the palace, followed by a small official, dragging some pen and ink and other things.

That's Lord Zuo Shi of Zuo Shi Mansion.

As a spokesperson in the palace, he naturally needs to truthfully record many things about this world.

Tranquility walked over silently, looked at Lord Zuo Shi in front of the wide-open palace gate, and then took down the stone tablet that was not too big under his armpit and stood up on the stone slab in front of the palace gate.

"Your Excellency."

This little official of the Zuo Shi Mansion bowed dignifiedly, and some dust fell from his armpits.

Master Zuo Shi glanced back at the young man and nodded slightly.

Then he turned back, still quietly writing a lot of things.

Tranquility didn't look at it, because there were some things he already knew, and some things were even brought up by such a young man who cultivated history.

For example, the matter of forgetting worries and water in wine.

So he just looked at the palace road behind the palace gate, looked at it for a long time, and then asked softly:

"What about the other adults?"
