Chapter 84: Imperial Capital Fengyun They made an appointment today?
Dispute (1)
Imperial capital.
The streets were crowded, and a small group of people rode by, which made the crowd unhappy and shouted and cursed. But the horseback team did not stop, and continued to pass quickly.
The young man in black with a standing collar and riding a horse was heroic, but with an angry face, he quickly whipped his horse and rushed towards one side. Passers-by who are familiar with this place probably know that there are probably some nobles living in that area, but they are not so prominent, and among them are the mansions of the Duke of Morton's nephew, Thor.
"Thor, get out of here!" the young man had already hurried to Thor's door, and before the horse's hooves could stop, he had already ripped open his throat and shouted.
The servant opened the door, and when he saw someone coming, he hurriedly turned around and entered the house to report, and in a few moments, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes rushed out in a rage.
"Uso, what are you doing rushing to my mansion, are you crazy?" he asked aloud.
"Hand over my sister, or I'll tear down your place." The young man with a heroic but angry face was none other than the familiar Melson with Hikage's eyebrows. He asked loudly.
"Fart. I know where your sister is. What do you call me to hand it over. I know a fart. Thor said with a cold snort.
"I received a secret report that the disappearance of the person was related to you, and that her natal stone was shattered yesterday. I have to find her today. I'm going to search now. Melson whipped at the bridge of Thor's nose.
"You're dreaming!" said Saul, furious. "Where you think this is, you can search for it. If you dare to take half a step in today, I want your life. ”
"It's up to you. I don't have to search for it today. ”
In a few sentences, the two sides were already tense, weapons were sacrificed, and a fight was inevitable.
The time when I visited the Streamer Pavilion last night didn't seem to have left with the arrival of the day. Early in the morning, Duke Morton's men stood guard at the door of Peng Xiu's mansion, waiting to invite Peng Xiu and Sun Shadow to his duke's palace luncheon, as if they were not given the right to refuse, and stayed by the gate until they went out.
Peng Xiu and Sun Ying were not surprised by this sudden invitation, after all, the two of them were sent out, but they didn't find their way out of the Streamer Pavilion by themselves, and it was not strange that Morton knew about it, and it was more logical to have an invitation. It's just the smile in Robert's eyes that can't be stopped watching them go out, why are they a little inexplicably a little unpleasant.
When they arrived at Morton's mansion, the two were led directly to the garden. Morton prepared refreshments and was waiting for their arrival.
A middle-aged man dressed in a royal blue wide-sleeved nobleman's dress, who looked natural and elegant, greeted the two with a gentle smile, and the teacup in his hand was steaming slightly.
After a brief greeting, the duke, who was also a high-ranking and powerful duke, asked directly without ambiguity.
"Your Highness, why are you interested in the Streamer Pavilion?"
The duke's words were said to Peng Xiu, but his eyes fell on Sun Shadow again. Ever since he stepped into the garden, the Duke's gaze never seemed to take his eyes off the silent young man.
"A few days ago, Altaia invited Xiaoying to play, and when I came back, I heard that it was very interesting, so I slipped away at night. Why? This matter has reached the ears of the duke? I am ashamed and ashamed? I don't know that the Streamer Pavilion was originally the duke's property. Peng Xiu said with no pain or shame on his lips, and his expression was not at all at all, just frowning, leaning slightly, trying to block Morton's eyes that were too probing of the sun.
Night slip, you think it's your back garden.
Unhappiness flashed in Morton's eyes, but then he covered it up.
"The Streamer Pavilion is built for Altaia's fun, and she is also willful and bad on weekdays, setting up some strange rules, and I am also afraid of people looking for ballast on weekdays, so there are a few guards guarding near the Streamer Pavilion, and yesterday I was very surprised to see His Royal Highness being sent out of the Streamer Pavilion late at night. Your Highness had a great time last night?"
"It's okay, fortunately, there are such interesting characters as Carmel in the Streamer Pavilion, I wonder where did the Duke meet such an interesting person?"
"It was the little girl who met by chance in the imperial capital, seeing that the child was not in good health, and he didn't want his Duke's Mansion to be shackled a lot, so he let him recuperate in the Streamer Pavilion, but he didn't expect the child to be idle, kind-hearted, and help Arteya take care of it. He didn't crash into His Highness, did he?"
For the conversation between the two that is not nutritious, Sun Shadow is a bit wandering. The Duke of Morton in front of him was more energetic and youthful than his first meeting, as if time was retrograde in this person, and it was as if some filler substance was filling this half-aged body and making him younger. His tentative eyes seemed to have some deep meaning, but he didn't know what he meant.
"He was a well-behaved young man and said something funny. Peng Xiu raised his eyebrows, he was about to lose patience with the old fox in front of him who seemed to talk endlessly about some useless confrontations, and what made him even more unhappy was the old man's sudden attention to the sun shadow.
"What insight can he have, let His Highness see and laugh, it's all a joke, and I hope His Highness doesn't delve into it, and he doesn't go to the psychology. ”
Does this old fox know what they talked about?
Sunshadow frowned slightly when he heard this, could it be that Camel was more controlled by Morton than he expected, so that every move would be monitored and reported? Or was the old fox just a high-level greeting, warning them not to explore the Streamer Pavilion. That's really three hundred taels of silver here.
Don't talk too much about talking to smart people, Morton felt that he had finished the warning, and Mo Yue noticed a trace of impatience in Peng Xiu's eyes, so he immediately changed the topic and said what he was more concerned about today. He looked at Sunshadow and said.
"The last time I saw Xiaoyou at the banquet, I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to take a closer look. When I saw Xiaoyou again today, I was surprised that Xiaoyou's eyebrows were very familiar, so I looked at Xiaoyou many times and asked Xiaoyou to forgive me. ”
"Like whom?" asked Peng Xiu.
"It might make the two of them laugh. Xiaoyou's eyebrows are very similar to my Goddess of Light Saint Sect. ”
As soon as these words came out, the surprise in the eyes of Peng Xiu and Sun Ying was indescribable. This is the first time I have heard of a resemblance to a goddess elephant, not a previous resemblance to a certain chosen saintess. Is there a goddess in this world? Why have they never heard of it?
Morton went on to explain. "The two of them may not know that the goddess of light is a real image in the world, and there are statues and scrolls to record her true image, but the Holy Court feels that the holy elephant is flowing out too much, and if it is used by gangsters, it will damage the majesty of the female saint, so the statues carved by the religious halls in various places are only similar in general outline, and they are not too elaborately carved. However, there is an extremely expressive statue in the temple of the Holy Court, which is said to be the culmination of a vanished forger, and the statue is no different from the appearance of the true god, and it is no different from the real person. Generally, the inner hall is not allowed to enter, but once he was summoned by his honor, he had to enter it once, and he only had a glance at it when he first entered, but he already felt that his voice and appearance had been imprinted in his heart. Over the years, I have also been fortunate to meet several quasi-saints who are similar to them, but only Xiaoyou has made me the one who makes me directly remember the statue's holy face. I couldn't believe it, so I made more observations. If it weren't for the fact that Xiaoyou is not a woman, I really think that you should have a lot of connections with the Holy Court. ”
Morton here, showing a bit of pity. But then, as if thinking of something, he looked at the shadow of the sun and fell into deep thought.
"What can he do with the Holy Court? The Duke was really joking. My little tiger is pure wild in the forest, not to mention being born, even the gender is not right. Didn't the duke see that my little tiger was cute, so he moved his mind to recruit before he said such nonsense, right?" Peng Xiu had a not very good premonition, he subconsciously covered Mott's observation again, and his words were very frivolous, but he had murderous intentions.
Morton is also a human spirit, and he has long discovered Peng Xiu's intention to defend the sun shadow in many ways, but after some explanation, not only did the situation not improve, but also made His Royal Highness in front of him have a few killing intentions, he sensitively noticed that this made Xiao Killing, who shrunk his neck, gave up continuing to explore, lowered his head and drank the tea on the table.
But Sunkage asked. "Is it really similar?"
Morton could only nod.
It turns out that there is really a true face in the world, in the past, I felt that the criteria for choosing a saint were a little weird, although it was about birth and talent, but more according to the selection of a look, at that time it was just a doubt, but now it is determined that if there is really a true face, it is a real goddess, not just a fantasy, a symbol, but a real existence. So what is it about her appearance that resembles the goddess so much?
How many unsolved secrets awaited her. Sunshadow frowned, falling silent.
All of a sudden, there were words. But Morton didn't expect this casual topic to be so influential. He continued to explain. "As His Highness said, the gender of the little friend is not matched. If Xiaoyou is a girl, let alone a quasi-saint, I am afraid that she will directly become one of the saints selected by the inside, and the Holy Court will definitely focus on cultivating. But don't say that Xiaoyou earns, that is, the person who recommends Xiaoyou is afraid that it will also go further. But Xiaoyou is a teenager. Haha......" Morton said, again showing obvious regret.
Peng Xiu looked at Morton like this and felt familiar, very much like Frey who had just died under their knife, and remembered the problem when Frey finally left. At that time, he thought that Frey had seen through the disguise of the Sun Shadow, but now it seemed that he, like the old man in front of him, was tempted by the great power of the Holy Court of Light, and he was unwilling to show regret.
Peng Xiu suddenly understood the cleverness of casting such a disguise magic, because no matter how you change the gender, it will be a little similar, and you will still be sent to the Holy Court, but if the gender is directly reversed, you will generally give up, and people who love power like Frey are just regrets.
He had already vaguely guessed the enemy Shi Guang Holy Court before, and at this time he had to confirm it again, Peng Xiu looked at Sun Shadow's frowning brows, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to smooth it out. They still have a long, long way to go, but at least they stay with each other.
Peng Xiu rubbed Sun Shadow's head with his hand, and his warm big hand soothed the slightly fluctuating mood of the two.
"That's good that my little tiger is a boy. Then the Duke really doesn't want to beat my little tiger's idea. "It's a joke, but it's a real warning. Peng Xiu really had murderous intentions towards Morton at this time.
It really seemed like a joke, but it was more than just a murderous aura, and the real threat that Morton read this time, the threat of death was close at hand. What kind of existence did this young man in front of him have for this highness who has always been kind on the outside, so that this highness did not hesitate to tear off his disguise and nakedly threaten a famous minister. Morton couldn't help but glance at the shadow again.
The boy is still a teenager, the eyebrows are still so similar, his expression is as calm as when he first came, as if he can't read any emotions, extremely restrained, not inconspicuous, if he is not willing to stand in front of you, if he is not willing to speak, if not, maybe in the next second, this young man will be invisible, silent into the crowd, silent to disappear. But if he is willing to stand here, in front of you, you can't help but look at him twice, as if he has an impenetrable light, like an obsidian-like existence.
"Oh no, no. Just as the atmosphere was stuck at this point, two people suddenly rushed in, both shouting loudly. One came for Morton, and the other for Peng Xiu.
"My lord, Master Thor's mansion is besieged. ”
"My lord, Lord Lance has surrounded someone else's mansion!"
There was another man running in the distance...... It seems to be shouting that something happened to the Streamer Pavilion?
"My lord, there's something wrong with that. The deputy was asking the master who was in front of him.
The master twitched the swarthy leather whip in his hand and made a loud noise. "Lao Tzu just has to go in today.
"Then we can invite a celebrity to take us in, why do you have to surround other people's mansions. Now the people in the entire imperial capital will know. The deputy continued to be submissive, but muttered with a slight complaint.
"Then you didn't say it earlier?"
"You didn't say where you were going, you just said you were going to take someone to the guy...... I thought that the robbery was going, so who would dare not go. The deputy continued to be submissive, but the complaint in his tone became more obvious.
"And what now?" asked the master.
The deputy's eyes repeatedly wrote, did you change your head, is this still the heroic and wise Earl I know, did you get your head pinched when you went out today... And fortunately, I have already sent someone to inform Your Highness... of eyes.
The above is the Count of Reims and his butler Hongying, who inexplicably came to surround the Streamer Pavilion.
