Chapter Twenty-Four: Two Literary and Artistic Youths

Wan Yanjing looked at the note horizontally and vertically, and it was still those words.

What do you mean?

What kind of knife?

What red is the knife?

After thinking about the tea for half a time to no avail, a wave of anger rose in the princess's heart.

Can you understand that Gui Daohong is a knife or a human or a ghost?

-----------------

It was a full moon night.

Ergou was still wearing the short clothes with a leaky waist, sitting on the eaves of the bamboo garden, holding a chicken leg wrapped in oiled paper in his hand, and feasting on it.

In his perception, there were two very bright stars in the Wuxuan Palace, one in the Qin Imperial Palace, one in the National Teacher's Mansion, one in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and one in the backyard of the Guozijian.

If you look down from the sky, the imperial palace, Xuanwu Street, southeast, northwest and northwest, and Guozijian in Beijing can be connected into a dragon shape, including countless organs and algorithms, drawn by King Wuxuan, and it took five years to build a beautiful array to protect the country with the strength of the whole country.

The reason why the Qin State is so strong and no one dares to violate it in Beijing is because of these five stars, and because of the exquisite array of protecting the country.

No one knew the power of the Protector Array and what this behemoth would look like when it was opened.

It may remain silent, but no one will ever think of it as an inconsequential toy.

After all, Daikin has stood for hundreds of years with the Twelve-Star Dragon Sparrow Array, and in these hundreds of years, Daikin has experienced many anti-politics, riots, and army pressure, but in the end, it all ended in Dakin's victory, relying on their Great Array to protect the country.

There are even rumors in the rivers and lakes that no matter how mediocre the Golden Emperor is, with the twelve-star dragon sparrow, he can grow old safely.

The powerful Twelve-Star Dragon Sparrow was slashed by Huo Xiang with a sword, and after that, Huo Xiang built another Linglong Array.

The Linglong Array can't be worse than the Twelve-Star Dragon Sparrow, right?

Although the Linglong Array is recognized as strong, it is a mystery who holds this large array.

Dajin's National Protector Array is jointly controlled by the Jin Emperor and Dajin Guoshi, but will the Linglong Array be in the hands of Emperor Qin?

Ergou looked at the moon in the sky, looked at the capital city shrouded in moonlight, and quietly thought about these past events.

Unfortunately, his musings were soon interrupted, and the princess he had been ordered to protect was a little strange, as if she had some nightmare.

At this time, not long after the drum beat of the third watch, it was the time of the child.

"It's just a nightmare, am I going to wake her up?"

Ergou muttered, continued to eat his chicken legs, admired his moon, he was a person of great taste and style.

Finally, he finished eating the chicken legs, folded the oiled paper, and inserted it into the gap between the tiles.

Full of wine and food, he decided to wake up the princess, I don't know what kind of nightmare it is, it's been tossing and turning for a long time.

The second dog lifted a few tiles, and jumped from the eaves along the hole to finish Yan Jing's house, silent, ghostly.

"Princess? Princess? ”

Wan Yan Jing should not.

Ergou took a few more steps forward and stood on the edge of Wan Yanjing's bed.

The translucent curtain of the bed can vaguely see the woman half-sideways inside, struggling with something.

Ergou began to worry, whether men and women could kiss or not, should he wake up the princess's maid and let the maid come?

But the maids are all unmarried girls, if he goes to call the sleeping maid, what if the maid relies on him and he doesn't marry?

The second dog mentally builds itself psychologically:

This is the master's mother, rounding it up is his mother, he is a son, and it seems that there is nothing to visit his mother who may be sick, and it does not violate the etiquette of the Qin State.

Well, that's it! The second dog lifted the curtain.

What he saw made him frown.

Wan Yanjing did not wear the obscene clothes that she usually changed when she slept, but wore a white robe that allowed her to go out, and she had an iron chain wrapped around her wrist, and the other end of the chain was buckled to the bed frame.

Wan Yanjing's eyes were open, her pupils were dilated, and the edge of her pupils was a strange golden ring, which looked like she had been caught by some ghost, and it was driving her to leave the room where she was sleeping and go somewhere.

She struggled more and more, and there was a circle of blood on her wrist, but she herself was unconscious, and she didn't respond no matter how she shouted.

"The princess's own chains? Isn't this a letter ball! ”

The second dog didn't know what to do, so he had to tear off the chain first.

"Let's more", the chain is broken!

Ergou watched Wan Yanjing, who had lost the restraint of the chain, slowly get up, she put on her shoes expressionlessly, pushed open the door of the room without hurry, and walked out.

Ergou raised his hand and closed the door that "Wan Yanjing" forgot to close, which was the same situation last night.

With a white dress and loose black hair, she wandered in the palace, like a female ghost.

Ergou watched her walk towards the lake, step by step, each step was the same frequency, the same stride.

Walking to the lake, Wan Yanjing stopped for a few breaths facing the lake, and then turned around and moved in the direction of Lin'an Hall.

It's the same as yesterday.

Ergou looked at the unruly Jingyue Lake and thought thoughtfully.

Wan Yanjing continued to walk, passing by Huo Xiang's study, school field, stable, martial arts hall, and meeting room, and pushed open the door of Lin'an Hall.

Wan Yanjing kicked off her shoes, stepped on the edge of the bed with one foot, and stepped on Huo Xiang's stomach with the other, she took Huo Xiang's stomach as a pedal, stepped into the inside of the bed, and finally calmed down and closed her eyes against Huo Xiang.

This is different from last night, last night Wan Yan Jing stepped over directly, and did not step on Huo Xiang's stomach.

Ergou watched Huo Xiang and Wan Yanjing's bedside for a while, and walked out of Lin'an Hall.

Steward Zhang was sitting under the porch with a jar of wine in his arms, looking at him with a smile.

This, too, was not available last night.

Seeing that Steward Zhang knew everything well and was not surprised, Ergou asked in a muffled voice:

"What the hell is going on? You don't seem surprised at all. ”

Steward Zhang shook the wine in his hand, pointed to the sky, and said:

"How can there be no wine for such a good month? Don't think too much, let's have a drink. ”

Ergou didn't move.

Steward Zhang sighed and said:

"Hou Shengzi, in this world, there are many things that you can't understand, if you don't understand, don't waste that brain, it means that it's not something you should understand."

"Just like Lao Zhang, I have been a housekeeper in the palace for seven years, twenty taels of gold per month, which is the only high salary in the housekeeper world, I am doing what a housekeeper should do, I don't explore what I shouldn't know, I shouldn't meddle in my affairs, and I don't do one more step, so that I can always be a housekeeper safely."

"Come on, come on, sit here, this is a good wine made by your master, I finally stole a few jars, and I was reluctant to drink it, today you kid is blessed, hahaha."

Ergou frowned, and sat a little awkwardly not far from Steward Zhang.

Steward Zhang opened the wine seal, and a refreshing aroma of wine overflowed, and the entire corridor was filled with a peach blossom intoxicating aroma.

Ergou moved his nose, glanced at the direction of Huo Xiang's sleep, lowered his eyebrows and said bitterly: "It's Master's peach blossom brew." ”

"That's right, hahaha."

"You drank all of Master's peach blossom stuffing, won't Master be angry when he wakes up?" Ergou swallowed his saliva and stared at the wine jar and said seriously.

"Hey, this is wrong, he doesn't know if he can wake up, if this good wine is wasted, he will be really angry."

"Is that so?"

"Believe me yes, I have been by the prince's side for more than ten years, in terms of understanding, who can catch up with me?" Steward Zhang took a big sip of the wine jar, and then he handed the jar to Ergou and motioned for him to come too.

Ergou hesitated for a moment before taking the jar, observing the side of the jar, he didn't remember which piece Steward Zhang was drinking against, he desperately didn't want to drink with Steward Zhang.

Master said that this is called indirect kissing.

Ergou lifted the jar and let the wine slide out of the air, he raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and began to pour, and the wine flowed steadily into his throat.

Steward Zhang's eyes widened.

But after a breath or two, Ergou shook the jar, and there was nothing poured out of it.

He licked his lips, his eyes were clear, not drunk, but a little puzzled: "That's nothing?" ”

Steward Zhang was angry, he snatched the jar back, and looked carefully into the corridor lamp, but there was indeed not a drop.

"You ......" Steward Zhang's face turned red, pointing at Ergou, wanting to say something, but to Ergou's clear and stupid eyes, he didn't say anything in the end, and scolded in a low voice, "Damn Xinqiu!" ”

-----------------

Wan Yan Jing dreamed again, this time she clearly knew that she was dreaming, and what she experienced was probably a certain memory of Huo Xiang.

The hand in front of him was small, red and swollen, and he suffered repeated frostbite in the winter.

On a snowy day, the clothes were thin, and the coarse cloth was as hard as iron.

On his feet were a pair of worn cloth shoes, the tops of his feet and ankles were exposed, and there were some bruises and purple scars on them.

This is when Huo Xiang was a child.

Based on the surrounding environment and the wooden basin in front of her, Wan Yanjing speculated that Xiao Huo Xiang was probably washing clothes.

Tsk, Wan Yanjing was a little gloating.

That's too miserable, isn't it?

The wooden door of the courtyard was pushed open, and an old man with a height of five feet walked in with something, and Xiao Huo Xiang, who was possessed by Yan Jing, stood up, and shouted in a childish and trembling voice: "Grandpa......"

Who is Huo Xiang's father, everyone in the world wants to know but didn't pick it up in the end, where did this grandfather come from?

Wan Yanjing especially wanted to scratch her hair, touch her nose or rub her chin at this time, but unfortunately her body was not under her control.

The old man was about sixty years old, with a mediocre appearance, a pair of triangular eyes, his upper eyelids drooped and he couldn't see clearly, and he was wearing a blue jacket, which was made of good cotton, thick and warm, and the whole person was quite decent.

Although he was only five feet, he was much taller than the five-year-old Huo Xiang.

Wan Yanjing watched the old man approach step by step, feeling the fear and fear that did not belong to her, and a little strange excitement and expectation.

"Grandpa" is a bad one, otherwise Xiao Huo Xiang would not have lived so miserably, and he was still so scared at this time.

Listening to the sound of her heart beating faster and faster, Wan Yanjing was a little puzzled, she was sure that this strange excitement did not belong to her, and she did not like to watch children be abused.

The old man kicked over the laundry tub and spilled water all over the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he slapped over and slapped Xiao Huo Xiang away.

Wan Yanjing's eyes were full of stars, her ears were buzzing, and she felt her nosebleed coming out.

… You're ......*%#%! -@&%%¥¥##@!

Wan Yanjing broke out, she couldn't help but burst into foul language, completely abandoned the elegance and dignity of the princess, and began to greet the eighteenth generation ancestors of this old man.

The old man was also greeting Xiao Huo Xiang's eighteenth generation ancestors, his words were extremely dirty, he scolded Xiao Huo Xiang to fetch water and wash clothes again, and said that if he was slow again, he would give his hand a discount, and he would keep one hand to work in the future.

The old man finished scolding after the fight, and walked towards the house with the tight roast chicken in his handbag.

As he walked towards the room step by step, Wan Yanjing, who was extremely angry, had that strange emotion that seemed to be excitement again.

This emotion was passed on to her by Xiao Huo Xiang.

Wan Yan was stunned, Huo Xiang is this a stupid person?

Or Stockholm?

Huh?

Where does Stockholm come from? Why did she come up with the word?
