Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Island of the Yellow Book
Zhu Bai kept beating his horse all the way, and he was still resentful in his heart. Every time he saw Lan Yue's handsome face that made countless celebrities in the capital obsessed, and the cold and lonely expression that often hung on his face, Zhu Bai couldn't wait to immediately step forward and cut it to pieces with a knife. I finally had a chance today, but I couldn't. Not only that, but at the last moment, he had to throw down the sword in his hand and use his palm power to help Blue Moon escape. Just before he left this morning, he was asked to meet. The other party's request was to let go of Blue Moon or rescue Blue Moon three times, and the conditions given were so good that Zhu Bai couldn't refuse, so he immediately nodded and agreed. This is also the reason why Zhu Bai is late. The last palm, outsiders can't see it, Zhu Bai sent out a throwing force, and the person who was stressed would be thrown far away, and he would definitely take the opportunity to escape. It's just that in that palm, Zhu Bai still added a little private goods, and the person in the palm didn't feel it at the time, but •••••• seven hundred and forty-nine days later, thinking of this, Zhu Bai smiled compassionately.
However, the matter of Lan Yue's escape into Xuanwu Lake must be reported to the emperor, because there is one person on the island in the lake who cannot be exposed, and that is a person who has been dead for 18 years. This world is full of illusions, and how many of the living beings can see the truth? Zhu Bai couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Blue Moon jumped into the water, heard the sharp sound of the bowstring, and hurriedly dived into the depths. In the ear chakra, only the sound of "poof, poof" feather arrows breaking through the water can be heard, dense like rain. Suddenly, there was a pain in the lower back, and then there was another pain in the thigh, knowing that both of these places were hit by arrows, but fortunately, the speed of the feather arrow after entering the water was not as fast as before, and it failed to hurt the internal organs and meridians, but was only inserted into the flesh. Lan Yue was afraid that the feather arrow on his back waist would be exposed to the water, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pulled it out, and a burst of pain came from the heart, Lan Yue couldn't help but open his mouth with an "ah" sound, and suddenly choked on a big mouthful of water, only then did he know that there was a barb on the arrow, and this arrow brought a large piece of meat, and he didn't dare to pull out the arrow on his leg again, but he just broke the arrow shaft with his hand, and he was afraid that the arrow shaft would float to the surface of the water to expose his location, so he was busy diving deep into the water and inserting the arrow shaft into the ground.
This tossing and tearing made Lan Yue waste a lot of true qi, obviously feeling uncomfortable tightness in her chest, her heart was pounding, and she seemed to be about to jump out of her chest. But Lan Yue's ears seemed to hear the sound of someone on the shore, and he didn't dare to surface for ventilation, remembering that before entering the water, he had seen lotus leaf fields and lotus flowers blooming in the middle of the water, and thought that diving to that place under the lotus leaf to breathe and breathe safely, so he was busy holding his breath and exhausting his true qi and finally dived forward.
Earlier, it seemed that the distance above the water was not far away, but at this moment it was as far away as thousands of rivers and mountains for the underwater Blue Moon, every stroke of his arm made him feel incomparably painful, and the arrow wounds on his legs and waist were bleeding nonstop, he was getting more and more tired when he couldn't breathe, his true qi had been exhausted, his heart was beating slower and slower, and he would stop beating after a few breaths, Blue Moon felt that his body seemed to have left him, and it was dark in front of him, and at this time his hand seemed to touch something, and he instinctively pulled it with his hand, and then he didn't know anything•••••• Blue Moon passed out.
I don't know how long it took, and I don't know where he was, a glimmer of life appeared on the dying blue moon, he felt powerless, he could only slowly struggle to open his eyelids, a vague white light came into view, there seemed to be a figure in the white light, the figure put something in front of the blue moon's nose, an inexplicable strange smell rushed straight to the brain, and then turned into the stomach, the blue moon was nauseous, couldn't help but turn over and vomited, after spitting out a few mouthfuls of turbid water, the blue moon regained a little physical strength, and the blurred world gradually became clear.
Only then did I find myself lying on a wooden bed, the arrow wounds on my waist and leg had been carefully bandaged, a strong smell of medicine came out of it, the damp clothes on my body had long been removed, and I had changed into a set of linen clothes, although not wide enough, but also dry and comfortable.
It was a windowless room with two book-sized skylights at the top of one side, from which two pillars of light flowed through, and the windless dust floated between them, like tiny fish swimming leisurely in the water. The room was surrounded by books due to the brightness of the central pillar of light. At this moment, a person walked from behind the pillar of light to the blue moon, and the bright sunlight shone on his snow-white beard and wise face, like a god descending to earth. This person's face was full of red light, and just looking at his face, he was in his forties, but Blue Moon could tell from his snow-white hair that this person was already in his old age.
Lan Yue stood up and said, "Thank you for saving me!
The old man glanced at the blue moon and said with a smile: "This place is the island of the Yellow Book. You fell into the water and were rescued from the lake by the guards here. ”
After a pause, the old man asked in a deep voice: "The island of the Yellow Book is a forbidden place for the imperial court, and the trespasser is dead! ”
The Yellow Book is a household registration made by the state in the Ming Dynasty for the purpose of verifying the household registration and recruiting and assigning enlistment. In the fourteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty government established the Yellow Book System on the basis of the household post system. The Yellow Book is based on households, and contains in detail the township, name, age, dingkou, farmhouse, and assets, and demarcates the household registration according to the occupation, which is mainly divided into three categories: civil, military, and craftsman. In addition to the general service, there are also Confucian, medical, yin and yang households. In addition to the general military households that provide military service, there are also school captains, wrestlers, bows, and soldiers. Artisan registration, registered as a handicraft household, and contracted to the government as well as kitchen service, tailors, horses, boats, etc. There is also a stove registration, registered as a salt producer. The procedure for compiling the Yellow Book is that the government will still send the household posts to each household, fill in the report every year, and the local magistrate will verify the changes in their dingkou, land and assets, etc., and the accumulated materials will be used as the basis for the large-scale creation of the Yellow Book in the past ten years.
Lan Yue didn't blink, and said unhurriedly: "Uncle, you misunderstood, I am Wang Yuanli, the commander of the Thousand Households, under the command of Lord Jiang, today because of the pursuit of the imperial court prisoner Lan Yue came to the lake, unfortunately was attacked by the enemy, fell into a coma, and accidentally broke into the forbidden place, I hope to bear with me." ”
Saying that, Lan Yue struggled to the ground, slowly approached the old man, and said: "Xiao Ke is on official business, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, and I also ask the old man to show me the way out, he has a fate, and he should thank you!" As he spoke, he gave a deep salute, and at the same time secretly gathered his strength, if the old man did not speculate, he was ready to rush out.
The old man seemed to see Lan Yue's intentions, and said coldly: "When I took out the arrow on your leg, I found that the arrow you were hit was a white feather arrow dedicated to the Jinyi Guard, which means that you may have been injured by the Jinyi Guard. Just now you asked me where I was, and you looked around to see if there were no windows and the door was locked from the outside. Now I'm going to tell you, this is the dungeon of the island in the lake. Blue Moon, what else do you have to say?"
Lan Yue's expression remained unchanged and said: "My husband is really a cautious person, I admire him." The arrow in my leg is indeed Jinyiwei's arrow, so it is also possible that the Qin prisoner Lanyue snatched Jinyiwei's bow and crossbow and then shot me, why are you sure that I am Lanyue?"
The old man laughed: "Fang is the clothes and pants I changed for you." Just because you have four moles in the heart of your left foot and three moles in the heart of your right foot, which together are exactly 'stepping on the seven stars', you are the Blue Moon!"
