Chapter 5 Chu Ran, the son of the world
Di Xue deliberately returned to the mansion prepared for her parents in the early morning and changed her clothes.
The lotus-colored brocade robe is embroidered with ginkgo biloba leaves with gold thread, the bamboo jade pendant made of white jade hangs on the gold-rimmed jade belt, and the hair is simply erected with a silver crown.
Then she picked up the silver needle in the box and pinned it into her hair, which was her habit since childhood, the silver needle can not only serve as a hidden weapon, but also allow her to take a piece of cloth and embroider when she is upset to maintain the sharpness and concentration of her fingers.
But now she is a little troubled, she only received the invitation yesterday, and she is in a hurry, let alone preparing gifts.
Thinking about it, Prince Heng must have seen everything, what should he prepare?
Di Xue had no choice but to trot all the way into the arsenal in the mansion, looking at the dazzling array of weapons around her.
Finally, he scooped up a fine iron dagger with silver outside and gold inside, and it was it.
The dagger is simple on the outside, but there are many doorways inside, hold your hand on the handle of the knife and flick the bulge on the scabbard with your hand, the compartment in the scabbard will open, and if it is filled with poison, the blade will be quenched in an instant.
Dial the bulge back and the mezzanine will be closed so that the poison will not leak out, and if you want to replace the poison, simply pull the small baffle on the other side of the scabbard to replace it.
It is said that the prince of Naheng is not good at martial arts, and he wants to use this dagger to take advantage of it, so Di Xue picked up the dagger and put it in the brocade box with the illustration of the usage.
Riding the newly acquired maroon horse Di Xue to Prince Heng's mansion, Di Xue was not surprised by the luxury of the mansion, but surprised by the distance between here and her mansion.
I knew that it was just across the street, so I wouldn't have come on horseback!
After dismounting, Di Xue handed her gift invitation to the porter for registration.
As soon as I walked into the house, I heard a commotion outside the door.
Several people walked in with a young man dressed in a snow-blue wide-sleeved brocade robe, a ribbon and loose hair.
Di Xue saw that the young man was slender and thin, his face was like white jade, his eyebrows and eyes were as sacred as Buddha, and he loved the next person when he looked closely, but he didn't know which person in Yuanjing was in his heart.
The young man frowned slightly, shook off the person behind him, and then walked straight to a tall boy in a dark green thorn robe.
"Brother Zhou Huai is still early today!" The boy said.
I saw that Zhou Huai laughed and put his hand around the young man's shoulder, but after finding that the people around him were looking at him, he withdrew his hand and saluted back: "Brother Li Heng, why are you here, Ling Zun jumped his feet angrily?" ”
Li Heng waved his hand: "He can't control me, but yesterday the bell sounded in the capital throughout Kyoto, presumably the governor of Zhou has expelled the Wara army from the border of my Dongwu Kingdom, and at this moment he has gone deep into the Wara border!" ”
Zhou Huai nodded: "When I mentioned this, I thought of another thing that gave me a headache!" After my father set out on the expedition, Shen Da, the head of the household, said that the expedition was hard, and then he gave the land in the suburbs of Beijing to my family! ”
"Isn't that a good thing?" Li Heng looked at Zhou Huai and asked with a sad face.
"Don't mention it, I went to collect the land half a month ago and ended up red-faced! A few days ago, that farmer, Wang's family, even went to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion to falsely accuse me of stealing his wheat! It's nonsense, by the way, isn't the household department under the control of Prime Minister Li Cheng, can you help me lobby with your father to change the land! ”
Li Heng stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Huai's shoulder with a helpless look: "You don't know that I and that dead old man look down on each other, if I go to beg, maybe your land will be changed!" ”
Listening to Li Heng's words, Zhou Huai immediately extinguished the flames, and the people wilted, presumably in the suburbs of the city, and those farmers were very unhappy!
After listening to the root of the wall, Di Xue picked an inconspicuous place to sit down, picked up the melon seeds on the table and ate them.
After a while, Prince Heng appeared and said polite words on the stage, and the banquet began.
Di Xue listened to the troupe on the stage singing "Da Dengdian", and the female actor who sang on the stage looked at Prince Heng from time to time, her eyes were as tender as water, and her love was swaying through the oil paint on her face.
But Prince Heng just slowly picked up a string of Shoushan stones and ignored them.
Di Xue frowned slightly, picked up a piece of cold jelly and put it in her mouth, and a thick sweet smell rushed into her lungs, almost making her vomit.
After swallowing hard, Di Xue no longer had an appetite, thinking about the baked cakes she had quietly hidden in her arms, she couldn't help but feel that she was really prescient.
Di Xue pulled the little guy next to him and muttered a few words, and the little guy pointed in the direction and was about to send her there. She hurriedly said that she could go by herself, and walked forward through the porch in the front yard, and sure enough, an octagonal pavilion appeared in the distance.
Di Xue was happy that the water quality here was clear, and there were white stone paving bamboo forests, which was a good place to steal food.
Walking along the path towards the pavilion, the bamboo forest that blocked the line of sight disappeared, but I saw a young man in a white brocade dress embroidered with dark patterns of bamboo and a turquoise belt standing in the pavilion.
His hair was loosely tied by a simple white jade crown, and the strands of his hair hung down like a waterfall, making his figure slender and well-proportioned.
Just as an autumn wind blew on the lake, the sun shone on the surface of the lake, and a few red carp jumped out, and then smashed back into the water, splashing, the young man brushed his sleeves to cover it, and the people also turned around.
Looking at the handsome thin lips, Di Xue's ears sounded the voice of the day of Wu Xuan.
"Good kung fu, but you have already committed the crime of defrauding the king by participating in the military election as a woman, do you know?"
In a trance, the young man in the pavilion walked towards Di Xue again.
The white-clothed boy who broke her identity as a woman, the divine doctor in the suburbs of the city, gradually overlapped with the figure of the person in front of him, and converged on the face of the young man who had come to Di Xue.
Di Xue saluted him slightly: "Catch Di Xue in the Lower Dali Temple, I don't know if Your Excellency is resting here, there is a lot of disturbance!" ”
Wei Cambodia smiled slightly: "Lord Di is polite, how can you be separated if you haven't seen you for a few days?" ”
Di Xue was stunned, but then understood his words, thinking that he knew that he recognized him: "I didn't expect to meet Doctor Wei in Prince Heng's Mansion!" ”
"It's okay, even if you have the ability to recognize bones and paint skin, you also know that I am in Wuxuan to debunk you!"
Di Xue didn't expect him to be so honest, he didn't know how to answer for a while, he could only nod, he didn't take a closer look at the dark sky on the outskirts of the city that day, and he didn't pay attention to it when he was all focused on the case, the weather was still good today, but he had the opportunity to take a good look, so he naturally recognized it!
"Actually, I ...... that day"
Before Wei Cambodia finished speaking, the opera in the front yard seemed to have been sung to the depths of love, and the voice babbling came from the front yard, and it was not in the wind, and suddenly the female voice suddenly raised and broke the tone, and then stopped abruptly.
The noise exploded like thunder on a rainy night, and after a while, a little guy hurriedly ran to Di Xue: "Lord Di summoned you over, and the drama in the front yard suddenly died on stage!" ”
Then he turned to Wei Khan and saluted: "Your Royal Highness, you are also here, follow me to the front yard!" ”
Listening to the name of the little girl, Chu Ran looked at Di Xue with a little weakness, just now he looked like he had a clear conscience and did not hide it, this slap in the face came too quickly.
Fortunately, Di Xue's attention was focused on the murder in the front yard, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Before this breath was finished, I heard the people in front of me chuckle.
"How?"
"It's nothing, just thinking of the congratulatory gift I sent, His Royal Highness the Prince can just use it!"
Chu Ran was a little curious, and at this time, the little guy was also a little speechless, but looking at the eyes of his own son, he still gritted his teeth and said: "Master Di gave a dagger that can quench poison and is easy to carry!" ”
is really a woman who will be retribution, and she even sarcastically mocked him for not knowing martial arts!
The little guy led the two to the front yard quickly.
At this time, Gonggong Jiang, who was following Prince Heng, ran over: "Master Di, this is from the dead actor!" ”
Di Xue took the yellow paper, only to see that it was written crookedly: Heaven is fair, murder pays for life, my brother Xu came to the wilderness of violent corpses, the murderer Zhou Huai is at large, the little woman is dead today, forget all the adults to punish the murderer, and return my brother's innocence!
