Chapter 279: Rainy Day
This night, a rare indulgence.
The roof of the vegetable plate and wine jar is a mess.
The fragments of wine under the house are also in a mess.
The fist-fighting, drinking, and high-pitched chatter continued until late at night.
It's just that none of the young people are drunk.
In the past few years, the biggest growth of several young people is not the fame of the rivers and lakes, but the rationality and composure that does not belong to young people, and they will think twice before acting.
The third watch, a sudden wind, and then the dense rain sprinkled down.
Several young men hurriedly ran off the roof, looked at each other and laughed.
After laughing for a while, several people high-fived each other, and then went back to their rooms to sleep.
The next morning, the rain was not as intense as last night, but it still had no intention of stopping.
A few young people, but no one planned to stay longer, so they didn't have to be too polite, they looked at each other and smiled, put on their robes, and drove away.
Ouyang Zi didn't come out to send him off.
Shi poor didn't come out to send it off.
It is impossible for Fang Gulan to send each other.
Mu Zishang hasn't woken up yet.
Yu Yi watched several young people disappear into the rain curtain and sighed.
I talked to the young master yesterday before leaving.
This time, a few young people will follow the path of their own choosing.
Then it should be a separation in the near future, right?
He took out a golden token from his sleeve, frowned and looked at it for a while, his hand clenched tighter and tighter, and then he sighed again, put the token back on his sleeve, and turned back to the pear orchard.
......
When it was drizzling and misty in Qingxi City, the rain was also pouring in the imperial city.
The light rain is moist and quiet like a dream in Qingxi, but it is boring and dull in the imperial city.
It's just that today's light rain, although dull but not boring at all, has a bit of a stormy meaning.
Early this morning, in the Xuanzheng Palace, the matter of setting up another prince has been put on the agenda.
Nearly half of the courtiers started to play and appointed the eldest prince Xiao Zhe as the prince.
Moreover, on this day, none of the princes except Xiao Zhe went to the court, and they all rested at home.
A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Caught off guard, the opinions are unified.
Xiao Zhe was a little at a loss.
Because, Prince, he never thought about it.
To him, it was a cruel and unattainable nightmare.
Before, this nightmare tormented the teenager.
Today, he has a nightmare.
Fortunately, Xiao Wutian didn't nod.
Even if the ministers kneel and play.
Xiao Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, mixed blessings.
Moreover, what he feared happened earlier than he expected.
In the afternoon of the same day, Xiao Wutian suddenly secretly passed on Xiao Zhe in the Heavenly Oracle Palace.
"There is a secret report from the western border of the scale, the Qingluan Empire's army has been secretly transferred several times, and there is a big move in the analysis, what does Zhe'er think?"
"Back to my father, in the eyes of my sons, the information is true or false, it is difficult to say whether it is aimed at our dynasty, if it is really inappropriate to rashly ask the teacher, it is better to send a messenger to investigate the root cause first, and then make a decision if you find clues. ”
"That's what Lone means, so who does Zhe'er think is more appropriate to send?"
"The people who are sent, one can stabilize the morale of the army, the second needs to have enough status to represent the attitude of our dynasty, and the third can represent the father and the king to reward the three armies. ”
"Huh?"
"My son is willing to share his father's worries. ”
"Hahaha, Zhe'er deserves the name of virtuous and square, yes. ”
Walking out of the Heavenly Oracle Palace, Xiao Zhe's face became gloomy.
Today's events, from beginning to end, were planned by my father, with the purpose of just taking him away from the imperial city.
This goes to the west of the scale, at least half a year, more than three years and five years, and then comes back to the court is estimated to be a thing or a person.
But if he didn't ask for his life, he was afraid that his father would have more scruples in the future, and even regarded him as a thorn in his side, so he had to take the initiative to ask for help.
Did the retributions of the ministers in the past few days really arouse the vigilance of my father?
Xiao Zhe was a little irritable and frowned.
He doesn't care about the power of the court, but in three or five years, his plans these days will definitely come to naught.
It seems that the action should be faster.
......
Gu Mound, it seems that there will never be a shortage of rain.
The drizzling rain fell day after day, and the water was up to the ankles, flooding the farmland and leaving it muddy everywhere.
Before the rainy season, the obscene rain in the Gu mound is even worse than the rainy season.
"Master, I finally walked to Qingxi, and yesterday I met an evil Gu master, a third-order, the natal Gu is a Gu, it's too annoying. But I didn't hesitate, Ava was seriously injured, and I almost lost half my life. If it weren't for a senior who saved us halfway, it is estimated that the master would have collected Zishang's body. Okay, Master can breathe a sigh of relief......"
"Master, I met Xiaofeng today, he gave me an invitation to the underground trading hall, but it's not fun at all, there are fewer people, but the things there are really good, but it's a pity that Zishang has no money to buy it. By the way, I ran into a wine Gu, and I was really greedy, so I borrowed five thousand taels of silver from Xiaofeng, Master, don't forget to pay it back......"
"Master, I tell you good news and bad news. Ava has turned into a pupa and I will be a third-order Gu master in a few days, isn't it powerful? Although I don't know when Ava will wake up, but let me be happy first. By the way, Xiao Feng has an accident, and he has been unconscious since he came out of the underground trading ground, is there anything that Master can do......"
"Master, Xiaofeng has woken up, I'll just say he'll be fine. But he seems to have become very strange, not only is Jiu'er afraid of him, but even Xiao Hei seems to be afraid of him, but I can't be sure ......"
Under the dim candle fire, the old man flipped through the letters sent from a distance one by one, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
"King, there is a request to see you. ”
Outside the stilted bamboo building, a respectful voice sounded.
"Who?" asked the old man, unhurriedly, folding the letters one by one.
"The people of the cricket seniors. ”
The old man frowned slightly, carefully placed the letter in a wooden box under the bed, stood up, patted the dust on his body, and said, "Please." ”
"Yes. ”
Not long after, a man in a cloth came in from outside the bamboo building, "Senior, my king's challenge post." ”
"Nothing else?" the old man asked nonchalantly.
"Nope. The man in the cloak replied respectfully.
The old man looked at the man's eyes, and smiled slightly after a while, "Accompany you to the end." ”
......
The Phaseless Valley is located in the Valley Empire, and it is a much wetter area than the Brookwind Empire.
Therefore, when it rains in most of the Xifeng territory, it is also rainy in the Wuxiang Valley.
Crystal curtains, exquisite ladders, curling smoke, faint candle flames.
In front of the red tablet, the woman in red sitting on the futon suddenly opened her eyes, "What's the matter?"
The sound is crisp and crisp like a jade strike, clear and pleasant.
"The Liu family sent something from there, saying that it can only be opened when you see the sect master. ”
"Oh?" the woman stood up, her three thousand ink hair hanging down like a waterfall, like a river of ink flowing straight down, extremely beautiful, "Go and see." ”
The faint firelight is set off, and the silver mask on the woman's face is like a real red lotus hairpin, which is full of color.
Walk through the flower gallery, step on the Lingling jade ladder, and enter the elegant living room, which is empty.
"Where's the people?" the woman glanced at the corner of the living room.
"Gone, leave something behind. An indifferent voice came from the corner of the living room.
The woman swept slightly in the living room.
On the main seat is a long golden box with silver thread inlay, which is very delicate.
The woman stepped forward and opened it, and inside it was a scroll of pictures, and the person on the scroll was a young man, with a blurred face, and the figure could be seen to be twelve or thirteen years old.
There is also a blank piece of paper sandwiched between the scrolls.
There is a red lotus printed on the white paper, lifelike, red as blood.
"Bastard!" the woman's voice suddenly cooled, and the paper in her hand scratched countless folds.
"Check, who's outside. After a few breaths, she calmed down again and said indifferently.
"Yes. ”
......
The island is the world of the poisoner.
It can't be said that it is a forbidden place, but it can only be said that most of the people who enter it will die from flying disasters.
In the world of poisoners, there are naturally a lot of people who study poisons and poisons, so if black smoke, green smoke and the like suddenly come out somewhere on the island, most of them are poisons leaked.
At this time, don't be stupid to join in the fun, hide as far as you want, or ask for more blessings.
After all, the newly developed poison, who knows if the poison has an antidote.
After all, in the Evil Island, there are many examples of poisoners themselves poisoning themselves, and it is very common.
Besides, even if there is, why should people give it to you?
Accidental injury?
Whoever makes you unlucky, it deserves it.
Therefore, there are very few outsiders on the island, let alone those who plan to stay on it.
It's just that today, there are people on the island again.
Moreover, this time the person who came did not come to deliver the letter, but to settle down, and he was a very gloomy old man.
......
The rain hits the bamboo leaves, and the bamboo sound is rustling.
A middle-aged man dressed in water vapor broke through the bamboo forest array and stopped in front of the bamboo house, "Senior." ”
"It's rare that you'll come to me, what's the matter?" said the old man's faint laughter from the bamboo house.
"I can help you, anything, for one purpose. The middle-aged man said solemnly.
"That child?" said the old man with a hint of amusement.
"Yes. The middle-aged man nodded.
"As you wish. The old man was silent for a few breaths, and the calm words sounded again.
"Thank you. The middle-aged man saluted respectfully.
"Xiao Xi, take him to rest. The old man continued in an indifferent voice.
"Yes. ”
The bamboo forest was silent again, the wind was rustling, and the rain was murmuring.
After a few breaths, a sneer came from the bamboo forest, "All things are born to support people, but people don't give them to heaven, and they are stupid." ”
The laughter was faint, and it quickly disappeared into the wind and rain.
