Chapter 49: Silhouette and Green Mandarin
Someone in the Divine General's Mansion invited him, polite and indifferent. Chen Changsheng let Luoluo stay where he was, and walked to the carriage outside the alley, when he walked over, he found that there was silence around the carriage, and there was no one, even the entourage of the Divine General's Mansion who had invited him before did not know where he went.
The war horse in front of the carriage was majestic and tall, and its sideburns were faintly red in the night, obviously not a mortal species, and it was mixed with the blood of some kind of strange beast, which was extremely eye-catching, but Chen Changsheng did not glance at it, because what he wanted to see was the person in the car.
The man did not get out of the carriage, but was still sitting in the carriage, and there was a red lantern on the side of the carriage, and the light shone through the window, and then through it, and his figure was reflected on the curtain as clearly as a sword.
Chen Changsheng saluted the silhouette on the car window, the silhouette was clear, and the people in the car were also clear, and the aura of majesty and terror was even clearer, and he understood where the pressure he felt before and after the Qingteng Banquet came from - one of the purposes of his participation in the Qingteng Banquet was to see each other with his own eyes, and throughout the banquet, the other party's gaze never seemed to stay on him, and it turned out that the other party had been watching him.
"It's been a long time since you left Xining and came to Kyoto, and until now, I haven't heard anything I don't want to hear, which proves that you are a smart person and act safely, and I appreciate that. β
Xu Shiji's voice came out of the car window, calm and indifferent, "After entering the National Education Academy, you actually learned to take advantage of the situation, and I found out that you are smarter than I imagined, and I have to say that I appreciate you more and more." β
Chen Changsheng knew that he was telling the truth, not mocking or ridiculing, because he had no qualifications to let the dignified Eastern Imperial God General ridicule and ridicule, let alone lie, but he did not have a trace of joy because of this, because he found that he still didn't like Xu Shiji's taste.
The taste is not bitter, spicy, sweet and sour, it is a feeling that is difficult to describe, and the tone in which Xu Shiji spoke to him at this time is also a taste.
Calm and indifferent and detached, not deliberate but naturally condescending, and very much like an elder.
Chen Changsheng didn't like this very much, if it weren't for the things involved in this marriage contract, if there were no humiliation and suppression, if the other party really treated himself with the attitude of an elder, it would be fine, the problem was that those ifs were not valid.
Xu Shiji was silent for a while, not knowing if it was because Chen Changsheng's silence was a little unexpected to him, or because he needed to think about something, the night breeze gently turned off the dim light of the lantern, and he asked, "Who is she?"
Yes, this is what he really cares about, of course, the reason why he cares has nothing to do with the marriage certificate on Chen Changsheng's body, he won't care about Chen Changsheng having contact with any opposite sex, because he has never really regarded Chen Changsheng as his daughter's fiancΓ©.
From the beginning of Luoluo's onto the battle stone platform of the Qingteng Banquet, the subordinates of the Eastern Imperial God General's Mansion began to secretly investigate her origin, but until the end of the Qingteng Banquet, when Xu Shiji left the Tiandao Academy in a carriage, he still did not find any news.
Xu Shiji was well aware of the abilities of the soldiers under his command, so he was a little surprised.
That little girl and Chen Changsheng were together, and this incident made him a little vigilant while being surprised.
Chen Changsheng didn't answer his question because he didn't feel like he needed to answer any of the other party's questions.
The silhouette on the window became clearer, the lines became sharper, and it should be Xu Shiji leaning towards the window.
The power became even more terrifying, and the pressure seemed to become real.
Chen Changsheng felt a wave of disgust in his chest, as if a mountain was pressing on the top.
"Actually, I regret it a little. Xu Shiji's emotionless voice came from the carriage.
"When you first entered Kyoto and no one knew about it, I should have killed you directly, I naturally understand the truth that Ci is not in charge of the army, but after all, your master has an old relationship with my Xu Mansion, and some people want you to live, so I let you survive." β
Chen Changsheng bowed his head and was silent.
"Kyoto in the middle of summer is a place where it's easy to get killed...... It's hard to know for sure what the flood season is, but it's certain that the rivers in Kyoto City will inevitably swell, and the water will be so strong that both floating corpses and ashes can be easily washed away. β
Xu Shiji said indifferently through the car window.
"For example, Mr. Cao, the Sect of the Heavenly Dao Academy, after tonight, he will either become a floating corpse on the bank of the Lanhe Plain thousands of miles away, or become food for the carp in Luoshui, but all in all, no one will see him again. β
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng looked up at the car window in shock, thinking to himself what the Heavenly Dao Academy taught to do, why would he die?
"That little monster is from the Tianhai family after all...... No matter how it develops afterwards, but if he makes his own opinion, Niangniang will be very unhappy, and if Niangniang is unhappy, Lord Zhou Tong will be very angry, and Lord Zhou Tong will be angry...... He will be worse than dead. β
"So, Lord Priest will definitely commit suicide tonight. β
"I do regret that I didn't kill you in the first place, and now it's inconvenient to do it directly, but I must remind you that there are many ways to survive in this world that are more terrifying than death, and I hope you can understand this truth. β
The lantern shook slightly, the light was dim, and more than a dozen subordinate generals appeared from the night, escorted the carriage and slowly drove away from the alley, heading towards the East Imperial God General's Mansion, the majestic and tall war horse glanced at Chen Changsheng before leaving, extremely indifferent.
Xu Shiji was silent in the carriage, there were countless ghosts in the depths of his eyes, not violent, and the cold was pressing, because he found that some things were out of his control, although because of the letter from the Holy Maiden Peak, he had not really controlled this matter, but now the situation seemed to have become even more weird.
He was very aware of the cause and effect of Chen Changsheng's entry into the National Religious Academy, and he thought that this matter had no deep meaning, but now it seems that even if it was the case at the beginning, now there are people who are taking advantage of this matter to make trouble, and those people in the National Religion who are still loyal to the Chen royal family, after being silent for so many years, seem to have finally found an opportunity that can be used, and are gradually preparing to surface, so what impact will this matter have on the Eastern Imperial Divine General's Mansion?
This matter is too big, even if he is the most trusted divine general of the Holy Queen Niangniang, he does not dare to participate too deeply, he has only preliminarily confirmed one thing now, if Chen Changsheng is really dragged into that muddy water, then this marriage contract cannot be known, at least it must be concealed for a few more days.
In a few days, a joint mission from the southern forces will arrive in Kyoto, and dozens of students who will participate in next year's imperial examination will also be in this mission, and it is precisely for this reason that the two nights after this year's Qingteng banquet are very likely to be postponed.
There was still a long time before next year's imperial examination, and the southerners broke with the convention and left for Kyoto several months early, which had already caused a lot of discussion and suspicion, but he knew very well that the Holy Empress Niangniang welcomed the arrival of this mission.
Only a few people in the entire continent know that this year's southern mission arrived early because they were preparing to propose marriage on the occasion of Qixi Festival.
The reason why Xu Shiji knew about this matter was because the object of the southern mission was his daughter.
He will not allow anyone or anything to ruin this marriage.
Chen Changsheng can't, that little girl with a mysterious origin can't, no one can.
As for the National Education Academy, the Heavenly Dao Academy, or those old royal families or the dark tides in Kyoto, he didn't want to pay attention to any conspiracy or situation, if someone threatened this marriage, he would definitely not be afraid to kill people, even if it was someone who couldn't kill them.
Because he has a good daughter, so as long as he doesn't betray his mother, it doesn't matter what he does.
Of course, if there was a better way to solve those unstable factors, such as Chen Changsheng and that little girl, it would naturally be the best thing to do, then he would first have to determine some things, and then ask some people to prepare some things.
"Go to the little orangery. He said.
The carriage of the Higashi-Gojin Shogun's Mansion slowly turned down the street and drove along a quiet road, ignoring Kyoto's strict night ban in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
The small orangery is a small manor not far from the palace, with many orange trees, like a countryside.
There can be a forest garden near the palace, planted with worthless orange trees, which is naturally not an ordinary person.
It was the residence of Miss Mo Yu.
......
......
Returning to the National Education College, standing under the tree by the lake, thinking about the silhouette on the car window before, Chen Changsheng was in a bad mood, he wanted to shout twice at the lake, and he was afraid of startling the people in the Baicao Garden on the other side of the courtyard wall, and wanted to scold a few swear words, but he found that the little master and senior brother had not been taught, and he didn't know how to speak.
He turned around and walked towards the library, and when he walked through the woods by the lake, he saw an orange tree, and the dense branches of the tree were bearing many small and small green fruits.
"Even you're bullying me?" he kicked the orange tree, his snort thick.
The tiny green orange fruit fell like raindrops, and there was a soft cry from behind the tree.
Luoluo rubbed his little head and walked out, holding a food box in his right hand and covering his mouth with his left hand, his face full of surprise, as if he had seen something strange.
Chen Changsheng was also a little surprised, and asked, "Didn't you go back to sleep?"
Luoluo said: "Mother Li prepared a supper, come and eat with my husband." β
Chen Changsheng looked at her expression and asked puzzledly, "What are you surprised?"
Luoluo's eyes widened and said seriously: "I didn't expect that a character like Mr. also has such a naΓ―ve side. β
Chen Changsheng was a little embarrassed and walked towards the library.
An inaudible voice floated through the woods, a little sour and aggrieved from the green orange stains.
"It's only a few months before I turn fifteen, what's wrong with my naivety......"
