Chapter 34, The Caged Sparrow, The Thing in the Palm.
After the crown prince saw Emperor Gao Xuan, he no longer stayed and left.
Since the day he returned from the Great Chu Dynasty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been going to Queen Duan every day. Emperor Gao Xuan naturally knew all this in his heart.
After the crown prince left, only Emperor Gao Xuan and Wei Jian were left in the attic.
After a while, Emperor Gao Xuan suddenly asked, "Wei Jian, what happened to Li Qingze and Yu Ge Lao?"
Wei Jian, that is, the red-robed old eunuch, saw him reply respectfully, "The national teacher has informed the three major sects of that matter, and the three major sects have also agreed. Elder Yu Ge set off overnight to rush to the border pass to find Mr. Yan. β
Emperor Gao Xuan nodded, and then sighed, "Yu Ge is very old, remember to order all the spies and even the border army to take more care of him." β
After that, a cold glint flashed in His Majesty's eyes, and he said coldly, "If anyone who doesn't have long eyes and dares to do bad things to Yu Ge Lao, I will make his blood splash three feet!"
The Han Dynasty has always fought in all directions, although after winning many dynasties, it implemented a benevolent and righteous government to comfort the people's aspirations.
But in the end, there will still be people who are ready to act and premeditate. This is the reason why the hearts of the people in the world are complicated, and the Han Dynasty is no exception.
When Wei Jian heard this, he smiled and said, "Your Majesty can rest assured, this time I went to leave the Chinese army and also went together, saying that it was too stuffy in this palace, so I went out to breathe." β
Of course, as for the original words of the green-shirted ranger, this old eunuch didn't dare to say it directly, God knows if it would make His Majesty furious.
At that time, the original words of the green-shirted ranger were, "Wei Lao'er, go back and tell His Majesty the Emperor, just say that the wine in the palace is tired of drinking from Changge, and now go outside to find some flower wine to drink, and I will talk about the big things when I come back." Wei Lao'er, do you want to come along?"
The old eunuch was still a little puzzled in his heart, this was still the long song of the ancestor of the soldier who was in high spirits at night and asked the ancestor of the soldier family?
Then again, I haven't drunk flower wine in years......
Emperor Gao Xuan smiled, what kind of temperament does that green-shirted ranger have, he still knows very well in his heart, if he is from Changge, then he is not from Changge.
Then, Emperor Gao Xuan turned around and glanced at the three books on the desk and a golden edict, those three books were the root of his world, but the edict was a suicide note he wrote for himself.
His Majesty the "madman" smiled slightly, even if he couldn't live forever, it was enough to lay the foundation for the Han Dynasty, and as for the matter of keeping the business, he was very confident in the prince's high-end.
A hundred years later, no matter how many things he has come and gone between ancient and modern times, they are all a pile of loess. Everything will return to dust and dust to dust......
ββ
A bamboo forest in the distance of Red Leaf Town,
Yao Zhenyi and Xiao Ling'er walked slowly in this huge bamboo forest, the breeze was blowing, and the bamboo forest was gently swaying with the wind, making a rhythmic sound, like beautiful music floating from the ears.
The two of them walked on this bamboo forest path, and when they looked up, they could see the green shadows hurrying, and the dawn light was shining down.
It was noon, and the sun was shining, but it wasn't hot.
Yao Zhenyi and Xiao Ling'er saw a pavilion in front of them, so they walked there, and sat down after walking to the pavilion.
The young man took out a kettle he had purchased in Red Leaf Town from his baggage and handed it to Xiao Ling'er, which was specially prepared for her.
As for the red gourd on his waist, he drank it himself, so it was difficult to let the girl share a kettle with him.
Xiao Linger took the kettle and whispered thank you.
Then, when she saw Yao Zhenyi holding a handkerchief in her hand and handing it to her, she looked at him with some confusion.
Yao Zhenyi smiled, "At noon, I'm in a hurry, so I'm in a hurry." "The handkerchief was bought by the way when Yao Zhenyi bought it from the town, and it didn't matter if he was in a hurry, but Xiao Ling'er was a woman after all, and women were most afraid of sweating and sticking to their bodies, and he still knew this.
Hearing this, Xiao Ling'er's cheeks were slightly red, and she stretched out her little hand to take the handkerchief, only to see that there was a delicate crimson lotus embroidered on it, which was also pleasing to the eye.
Childe is really thoughtful and thoughtful. It's just that he should be at such an age when he doesn't understand anything, but why does he have such a heart?
Xiao Linger couldn't figure out how many things a teenager had to go through to become so thoughtful.
"Goo-"
What the girl thought in her heart, Yao Zhenyi naturally didn't know, he took off the red gourd on his waist and took a big sip, which was naturally filled with clear water from the inn, but it was not a fine wine.
I vaguely remember that at that time, he asked Liang Zhongnian what the wine tasted like and whether it was good or not.
At that time, after Brother Liang heard this, he rubbed his head and smiled at the young man, "There is love in my heart, and the wine has passed between my throat and eyebrows, and all kinds of tastes are in my heart." After all, it will become a bitter word, sad in the heart, bitter in the mouth. β
Later, Yao Zhenyi secretly tasted it, it was spicy! It was so spicy! Where could it be bitter! The wine was clearly burning in his throat, and Brother Liang was definitely afraid that he would steal the wine and drink it, so he said that this wine was bitter......
Yao Zhenyi thought of this, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.
There are some things in my heart, just like the wine, the more precipitated it is, the more fragrant it is, which makes people indulge in it.
Xiao Ling'er saw the young man sitting on the side, holding the gourd in his hand and smirking, so he smiled softly and asked, "Childe, did you remember something happy?"
Yao Zhenyi came back to his senses, nodded and smiled, "Well, it's something very interesting." β
"Drive!!"
At this moment, a sound of horses' hooves and shouts sounded in the ears of the two, and suddenly countless dust flew up, Yao Zhenyi and Xiao Ling'er looked sideways, only to see the three horsemen rushing towards this side quickly.
"Appeal !!"
The first horse rushed first, and when it reached the pavilion, the figure suddenly pulled the reins, the horses under the crotch roared, and the front hooves of the upper body were raised and pointed straight at the sky.
"Boom!"
"Shhhhh
After the man took hold of the reins and pulled the horse to a halt, the horse gasped and exhaled and shook its head, apparently from the hurry.
He touched the horse's sideburns in distress, then turned over and dismounted, and walked quickly towards the gazebo, but the two horses behind him stopped on the road and did not come together.
When the dust clears,
Yao Zhenyi and the two of them saw the appearance of this figure, Hao Ran was a man wearing armor and a delicate face, and on his waist was a dark sandalwood plaque unique to the Han Dynasty, on which was written a "Han" character written by seal characters.
This sandalwood plaque is very different from the wooden plaque worn by Confucian protΓ©gΓ©s, so it is also known as the Hanyang plaque.
He was stunned for a moment after seeing Xiao Ling'er's pretty appearance, and then his eyes immediately returned to clarity.
The handsome man in armor did not set foot in the pavilion, but stood outside and asked, "Dare to ask the two of you, have you ever seen a man and a woman passing by here?" The man is dressed in black with a sword on his back, and the woman is dressed in white. β
Yao Zhenyi shook his head, and then returned the salute with the same hand, "This big brother, we haven't seen the two people you mentioned. β
"Thank you here!"
Hearing this, the handsome man put his hand down, nodded to the young man and thanked him, then turned around and walked to the horse not far away, he turned over and got on the horse, sat firmly in the saddle and turned his head, holding the reins and smiling at the two people in the pavilion, "If there is news, you can go to Shuhai City to inform the city lord that the Han Dynasty has thanked you here!"
When the words fell, he didn't wait for the two to reply, he suddenly raised the reins in his hand, and shouted, "Drive!"
The one under his crotch rode away, and the two figures behind him followed...
The two people that this handsome man was looking for were the pair of sword cultivators from the Xianxuanmen, Geng Sanqiu and Mu Qingyun, known as the "Black and White Xuanjian", but when the Han Dynasty sent someone to answer the order, these two people were nowhere to be found, so they hurriedly searched everywhere.
After the figures of the three gradually disappeared, Yao Zhenyi glanced at the sky and smiled at Xiao Ling'er, "Let's go, it's time to go to Shuhai City." β
Xiao Ling'er nodded, and suddenly asked, "Childe, are you also from the Han Dynasty?"
Yao Zhenyi was just about to step out of the pavilion, and couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then turned around and nodded, and asked with a smile, "Why do you ask this?"
Xiao Ling'er stretched out her hand and pointed in the direction where the three of them left, and said with a smile, "Because I think Gongzi is very similar to them......"
The delicate man who came forward just now looked at his eyes very clearly, which was completely different from the eyes of those men in Red Leaf Town, and Childe was like this. That's why the girl has this question, and when she sees the subtleties, she knows the dynasty behind her.
"Haha!"
Yao Zhenyi laughed out loud rarely, and then found that he was a little rude, so he gently apologized to the girl, "Miss Ling'er, I'm really sorry, it's rude." Fang Cai was just a little happy to hear what you said, okay, let's go. β
After speaking, he raised his feet and walked outside the pavilion, and the young man at this time was proud.
Xiao Ling'er covered her mouth and snickered when she saw her son like this, and thought to herself, this is what a teenager should look like.
She then moved lightly, and hurriedly followed the young man walking in front......
And on the other side of this verdant bamboo forest,
The two figures were tapping on their toes, walking in the sky above this bamboo forest, only to see the two of them with sleeves like the wind and light under their feet, quite a bit of dusty and elegant style.
One of the figures, Hao Ran, was a man in a black shirt with a sword on his back, looking at his age in his twenties and thirties, wearing a high crown on his head, and his sword eyebrows and starry eyes could also be called handsome.
Another slender figure is a beautiful woman dressed in white, the woman's unpowdered appearance is natural, but there is a bit of heroism between her eyebrows.
After a while, the woman asked softly, "Senior brother, is it really just hanging those people of the Han Dynasty...... To know ......"
Before she could finish her words, the man interrupted with a cold snort, "The Great Han Dynasty?! A mere dynasty is not worthy of being on an equal footing with my Immortal Xuanmen, which dynasty under the mountain has always dared to treat the people on the mountain like this? The lifespan of ordinary people is only one Jiazi, or even shorter, where can it compare to a cultivator like me!"
This man and woman Hao Ran are the pair of sword cultivators of the Immortal Xuanmen, Geng Sanqiu and Mu Qingyun, who are known as the "Black and White Xuanjian".
Mu Qingyun sighed lightly, senior brother is good at everything, but this vision is too short-sighted, not to mention that living in the mountains for a long time will inevitably be a little arrogant.
Her eyes fluttered, and she comforted the handsome man, "Senior brother, the sect master once said that you are good at everything, but this character must be changed, otherwise I am afraid that you will not be able to climb in the future." β
Geng Sanqiu also knew that Fang Cai was too impatient, and his face softened slightly and said to Mu Qingyun gently, "Don't be in a hurry, suppress their arrogance first, and let the Han Dynasty know that the people under the mountain should have the consciousness of the people under the mountain, so as not to know the height of the sky." β
Just when Mu Qingyun wanted to persuade her, she was suddenly pulled by Geng Sanqiu's sleeves and blocked her behind her.
Above the bamboo forest, Geng Sanqiu stared solemnly at the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, and his sword body was ready to meet the enemy at any time.
Mu Qingyun reacted, and looked at Geng Sanqiu's side, only to see that there appeared in front of him at some point, a young Confucian man wearing a hosta and a white robe, he stood in the sky and looked at this side with a smile on his face, looking as if he was visiting a friend.
Li Qingze stretched out his hand and summoned a bamboo leaf and put it in his palm for a moment, and then waved his sleeve robe to knock the bamboo leaf down and fly away.
Only then did he turn his head and chuckle at Geng Sanqiu, who looked solemn and like a great enemy, "What a person under the mountain, what a mountain immortal." I found out today why Bai Chongxin found me. It turns out that the people of Xianxuanmen are a group of self-righteous frogs in the well. β
"Vertical bold!!, Great Elder, how can you call him by his name!"
As soon as the words fell, a roar resounded through the sky, alarming the birds and beasts to scatter in all directions.
Then a fierce sword qi broke through the wind, and the sword qi was extremely powerful, rolling up countless bamboo leaves, turning into a long dragon and heading straight for the young Confucian who stood in the sky.
Li Qingze's expression was indifferent, still smiling, and with a slight wave of his right hand sleeve robe, the sword qi dragon came to an abrupt end, and the bamboo leaves in the sky fell like falling flowers.
I saw that after the young Confucian man dispersed those sword qi, he stretched out his left hand, raised his fingers together and blocked it to the side, and a touch of the tip of the sword appeared but was blocked, it was the long sword that Geng Sanqiu was carrying.
Li Qingze didn't even glance at the tip of the sword that was trying to penetrate his head, and with a flick of the two fingers that blocked the impact of the tip of the sword, the long sword shot out backwards.
Geng Sanqiu saw that he couldn't hit a blow, so he hurriedly dodged out, but was enveloped by a streamer of light.
Shocked, his fierce sword qi surged everywhere, but he was forced back by the streamer around him!
Geng Sanqiu raised his head in shock, his pupils shrank, and he saw that he was trapped in the palm of his hand by a young Confucian scholar, like a caged bird!
Li Qingze lowered his head and looked at this Immortal Xuanmen Yuan Infant Realm Sword Cultivator who was trapped in the palm of his right hand, as if he was looking at an ant, his eyes were full of playfulness.
Then when he looked up and saw Mu Qingyun with a complicated expression in the distance, he laughed softly, "If it weren't for your Great Elder's sake, I'm afraid this good senior brother of yours wouldn't be like this." β
Mu Qingyun looked at the young Confucian who was talking and laughing with a pale face, and said in horror with a trembling body, "Dare to ask who Mr. is......
Li Qingze didn't answer, with a slight wave of his left hand, a streamer flew out of his sleeve robe, until Mu Qingyun stopped in the air in front of him, Hao Ran was a piece of communication jade, she used her divine sense to probe into the jade slip and learned what was recorded in it, the piece of jade turned into powder and dispersed with the wind.
After learning the contents of the jade slip, Mu Qingyun was shocked, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully, "I have seen the national teacher! Mu Qingyun has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, so he is offended! I also ask the national teacher to have a large number of them, forgive me and others!"
Hearing this, Geng Sanqiu, who was trapped in the hands of the young Confucian scholar, exclaimed in disbelief, "Li Qingze?! That Li Qingze of the Han Dynasty?!impossible!!"
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure it out, that Li Qingze was obviously a powerless Confucian student, how could it be this terrifying young Confucian in front of him!
"Bang!"
Li Qingze chuckled, flipped his palm, and then slapped it down with his palm, and Geng Sanqiu's whole person was directly smashed on the ground of the bamboo forest under his feet!
The dust dissipated, and this Immortal Xuanmen's Yuanying Realm Sword Cultivator was embedded in the soil, and his body was dirty and embarrassed, which was very different from the elegant demeanor of Fang Cai.
"Xie Guoshi!"
After Mu Qingyun in the distance respectfully thanked him, he hurriedly lowered his figure and went down to check on Geng Sanqiu, who had passed out, and stretched out his hand to sense it, fortunately, the injury was not serious, and it would be fine to cultivate for a while.
Li Qingze, who was dressed in white, stood in the sky and said indifferently, "The people on the mountain are nothing more than a little farther than the people under the mountain, if you think that you are superior because of this, then it is nothing more than that." Tell him that if he is not convinced, then Li Qingze will wait for him to ask for the sword in the Han Dynasty. β
After speaking, he disappeared, leaving only the sluggish Mu Qingyun and the faint Geng Sanqiu in this bamboo forest.
