Chapter 144 - The Dumb and the Blind
Eight Princes' Mansion, Chu Wang's Mansion.
Halfway through the Shen period, King Lu, that is, the fourth prince Liang Qi, took his stupid younger brother Liang Yan, the seventh prince, to the second prince's mansion to meet.
After the second prince Liang Dan got the news, he went straight to the gate of the mansion to greet him.
In front of the gate of the Chu Palace, the second prince Liang Dan saw the unexpected and expected seventh brother, although his face was a little weird, but he couldn't bear to get angry, and welcomed the two younger brothers into the mansion very politely.
In the following time, the second prince Liang Dan and the fourth prince Liang Qi chatted in the study, and the seventh prince Liang Yan watched the goldfish swaying in the water by the pond in front of the study, leaving a puddle of saliva from time to time.
The second prince, Liang Dan, looked at his younger brother with a calm face, and said softly: "Fourth brother, this is going to Qingzhou to become a vassal, do you have the bottom in your heart?"
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, smiled lightly and asked rhetorically: "What do you think the second brother should do after I open the mansion and build the government?"
"Naturally, it is to rest with the people and implement benevolent government, and not to fall into the virtuous name that a prince should have. The second prince Liang Dan said as a matter of course.
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, asked casually, "Does the second brother really think so?"
The second prince Liang Dan frowned, he didn't know why his brother asked so much, and when he was about to ask, he was stopped by the fourth prince waving his hand.
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, sighed: "Since the second brother is not clear, then don't think about figuring it out, otherwise, you are afraid that it will be difficult to move an inch in the capital, this matter is very important, you don't ask others, just have your own judgment." ”
The second prince Liang Dan's fingers holding the teacup were slightly white due to excessive force, and after a few breaths, he returned to his usual appearance, and said softly: "I know, my brother doesn't grow up, but the fourth brother bothered." ”
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, shook his head and said in a low voice: "The queen mother is gone, the three of us are the closest brothers, so naturally we should support each other and not let outsiders see jokes." ”
How can there be mediocre people in the royal family, how can the second prince really not know the deep meaning of the prince's domain, but why does he pretend not to know, outsiders have no way of knowing, this is the meaning of the beating of the four princes.
As for whether the second prince can finally let go of the doubts in his heart and meet his younger brother frankly, it is even more difficult for others to know.
The second prince Liang Dan put the slightly cool teacup in his hand and said with a smile: "I thought you would come after dark, but I didn't expect to come so early, so I didn't have any preparations, and even the gifts were still in the treasury."
If you are not tired, come with me to the treasury and pick out a few treasures you like, which can be regarded as my brother's heart. ”
The fourth prince Liang Qi laughed and said, "How dare you say that you are tired, I just hope that the second brother will not feel distressed after a while." ”
The two brothers walked out of the study with a smile and a smile, looking like brothers, friends and brothers.
Seeing the two brothers coming out of the house, Liang Yan, the seventh prince who was playing with goldfish, immediately stood up and followed closely behind the two brothers, like a heel who was afraid of losing it.
The second prince Liang Dan's face was a little ugly, but he never turned his face, just pursed his lips and didn't speak.
The three of them walked by the water, walked through the corridor and pavilion, and entered a rather simple courtyard.
In the courtyard, the fourth prince Liang Qi secretly walked forward, he felt that there were at least five or six lines of sight around the courtyard sweeping his body, and each line of sight was like a sharp blade, cutting a knife in his heart.
As for the reaction of the Seventh Prince Liang Yan, it was more intuitive, the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and his mouth kept roaring in a low voice, like a beast that could attack at any time.
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, patted the seventh prince on the shoulder and said with relief: "Seventh brother, don't worry, this is the second brother's mansion, you don't have to be afraid, they are all your own people." ”
The Seventh Prince, Liang Yan, glanced at the Fourth Prince, nodded slightly, but still looked vigilant.
The second prince who walked in front caught a glimpse of this scene, and his expression became more and more ugly, but he didn't say anything.
The three of them walked around the rockery in the courtyard for half a circle, and then walked into a stone-made hole.
At the end of the bluestone staircase is a gate made of stainless steel, beside which there is a gray-clad man sitting cross-legged.
The man in gray looked up at the three visitors, and two rays of light shot out of his dark eyes, as sharp as a sword.
The second prince, Liang Dan, nodded at the gray-clothed man and ordered, "Open the door." ”
The man in gray slowly stood up and took out a key from his bosom, but this key was only half broken.
The second prince, Liang Dan, reached into his arms and took out the other half of the key with his body temperature.
The man in gray took the key from the second prince's hand and put the two broken keys together.
Just listening to the sound of 'ding', a novel key appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
I saw that this key was not as narrow and long as the traditional key, but like the waning moon, which was a strange arc.
As soon as the key was inserted into the stainless steel door, there was a rattling sound.
When the noise stopped, the door slowly opened.
Then the three most noble brothers in the world entered the treasury of the Chu Palace.
The treasury is not as dim as ordinary people think, the roof of the cave is inlaid with dozens of night pearls as big as a baby's fist, and the soft and bright light illuminates the treasury clearly, as if the night is shining.
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, looked at the treasure house in front of him, which contained countless secret books, magic weapons, and treasure armor, and was amazed, and teased: "Second brother is really rich, if this treasury appears in the eyes of the world, it will definitely be reprimanded by those who are full of words, and it will also attract those Jianghu guests who are not afraid of death to rob it." ”
The second prince, Liang Dan, smiled slightly and said, "The fourth brother said that I laughed, my family is all here, and I am not as rich as you think." ”
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, smiled noncommittally and said, "Then I'll start choosing, the second brother should not be distressed." ”
The second prince, Liang Dan, shook his hand very arrogantly and said, "As long as the fourth brother likes it, you can move it all." ”
The fourth prince Liang Qi smiled loudly and walked towards the display shelf in front.
The treasury of the Chu Palace's palace was not large, with only six tall wooden frames, each with three layers.
The wooden frame in front of the left is full of all kinds of exercise books, the cheats on the two layers below are full of dust, no one has been reading and turning for a long time, and there are only a dozen classics on the top layer of the wooden frame, the paper of these classics is yellowed, and the corners are worn more severely, and someone should turn it from time to time.
There are more than a dozen wooden boxes on the wooden frame in front of the right, and in each wooden box is placed a divine weapon, or a knife or sword, of different shapes and styles.
On the wooden shelves on the left side of the second row are placed many jade carved utensils, there are hundreds, and there are basically things in these utensils, all of which are rare medicines, although they do not cause the dead to be flesh and bones, but they are definitely medicinal materials that are difficult for ordinary people to find.
There are a lot of messy books stacked on the wooden shelf on the right side of the second product, and the cover should be some books that record the secrets and legends of the Shenzhou continent, as well as several pictures and periodicals that record the distribution of the city and the geography of the land.
On top of the clutter of books and magazines was an extremely rare blood coral, which glowed with a strange red glow in the soft light, as if a living creature was wriggling on it.
On the wooden shelves on the left side of the third row are mundane objects, enchanting gemstones, pearls and precious spices that exude a faint fragrance.
The last row of wooden shelves has the fewest items, but it is the most important and precious thing in the treasure trove.
It is because there are more than a dozen bottles of pills on it, some of which are refined by Taoist masters, and there are also offerings from other small Taoist sects.
Even if these pills are put on the body of an ordinary person, they will create a master, which is the preciousness of the pills.
Behind the six rows of wooden frames, there are three armors and several long weapons, the armor style is ordinary, and it is not the slightest bit gorgeous and outstanding, but it can be collected here by the second prince, and it will not be an ordinary thing.
As for those long weapons, they were nothing more than spears, Fang Tian painting halberds, and long knives.
The fourth prince Liang Qi walked around it and returned to the second prince empty-handed.
The second prince, Liang Dan, squinted at the fourth prince and asked, "The fourth brother is not in the picture, or is the things in my treasury unsightly?"
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, didn't dare to say again, "Second brother misunderstood, I just have never seen so many good things, and it makes my heart itch when I see it." ”
The second prince, Liang Dan, smiled and said, "But if the fourth brother is in the picture, take it all, if I say more, you will move it all." ”
The fourth prince, Liang Qi, laughed and said, "Then don't feel distressed, second brother, I'll open it up." ”
The second prince, Liang Dan, waved his hand and motioned for his brother to take it casually.
By the time the fourth prince Liang Qi returned to his original position, he already had an extra sword and a volume of cheats in his hand, and he was still carrying a bottle of good elixir in his arms.
Before the second prince Liang Dan could speak, the fourth prince Liang Qi had already said loudly: "Second brother, can you give me a pair of the three armors?"
"Oh, which armor do you like?" asked the second prince, Liang Dan.
The fourth prince Liang Qi smiled and said: "I saw that it was very suitable for the figure of the seventh child, so I asked for it, and the second brother won't give it, right?"
The second prince Liang Dan's face darkened, and he reluctantly said, "Okay, let him get it." ”
"Okay, thank you, second brother. ”
After that, the fourth prince Liang Qi took the seventh prince Liang Yan, who was staring up at the night pearl, to the armor.
The two brothers stood in front of the armor for a while, and resolutely chose the one in the middle, and the original words of the fourth prince Liang Qi were, 'This armor is the most powerful and heroic, and it is very suitable for the seventh child'.
After choosing, the Seventh Prince Liang Yan, who was holding the armor, and the Fourth Prince Liang Qi, who was equipped with a sword, returned to the wooden frame.
The three brothers went out of the treasury, and the second prince took back half of his keys.
The three of them then walked down the steps from which they had come.
After the three of them walked away, there was a black figure beside the gray-clothed man, and one of this person's eyes was dark gray, and he 'looked at' the gray-clothed man in front of him blankly.
It turned out that the black figure was a blind man.
The blind man said to the gray-clothed man beside him: "I didn't expect that this stupid Seventh Prince has actually entered the realm of the Great Grandmaster, the creation of heaven and earth is really magical and unpredictable, who would have thought that a fool would be a martial arts wizard." ”
The blind man who was here hadn't spoken to anyone for a long time, and his voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a night owl crying on a winter night.
The man in gray 'ho-ho' twice, his left hand drawing something in the air at a rapid pace.
The man in gray turned out to be mute.
After the dumb man finished drawing the ghost talisman, the blind man shook his head and said, "When they were in the treasury, those two did not move at all. ”
The mute 'ho-ho' again, as if to say that he understood.
The breeze moved, the dumb man's clothes shook, and the blind man in front of him had disappeared.
