Chapter 54: The Secret
......
At the end of the class, Xiao Che and the others bowed slightly, said goodbye and left.
Li Fangxiu suddenly said: "By the way, Xiao Che, the dean is looking for you, remember to go over today." ”
Xiao Che nodded.
After leaving the Lecture Hall of Lecturer Li, Xiao Che said goodbye to Xiao Hong and went directly to Xuansheng Mountain, the unknowable place that Yurou had taken him to.
The climate has passed the coldest time, but there is still a faint chill, but Xiao Che felt warm as soon as he entered this hidden valley, as if it was always spring all year round.
In the courtyard, Zhuang Nantian played against the old man, and Yurou was playing on the side.
As soon as she saw Xiao Che, Yurou shouted with a smile: "Big brother." ”
She threw herself into Xiao Che's arms, and Xiao Che picked her up, letting her pinch her face, hold her head, and pull her ears.
Xiao Che put her down, looked her up and down, and said, "Yes, I haven't seen her for so many days, but I have grown a lot taller." ”
Yurou grinned and rubbed her face.
Xiao Che walked to the front of Lao and Zhuang Nantian, and said with a long bow: "Yu Lao, Dean Zhuang." ”
Zhuang Nantian was thinking deeply, slowly groping his hand to hold the child, and when he was about to drop it, he frowned slightly, rubbed the sunspot in his hand with his chin, and thought: "If that's the case..."
His eyes suddenly lit up, and the sunspot in his hand simply landed on the chessboard, accompanied by a crisp sound of "pop".
This is a headache for the old man.
Zhuang Nantian glanced at Xiao Che, who was empty-handed, and said lightly: "Empty-handed?"
Xiao Che couldn't answer: "......"
Zhuang Nantian said coldly: "Even two strings of sugar gourds are reluctant to bring them to Yurou?"
Xiao Che suddenly realized, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Next time, next time." ”
I didn't expect that the dean of the little account who owed Yurou a hundred sugar gourds could remember it so clearly, is this idle? Xiao Che thought to himself.
Yu Lao thought about it, and suddenly smiled: "It's alive." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the white child and fell.
Just this one fell, and the tide of the battle that was originally dying was suddenly reversed, and he instantly had a tendency to fight against Kuroko.
Zhuang Nantian smiled bitterly: "I originally thought it was a dilemma, but in fact, it was a dwelling. ”
Yu Lao said: "The fierce lion before death is the most terrifying. ”
Zhuang Nantian nodded and sighed: "One son is wrong, and the whole plate is lost." ”
As he spoke, he began to put the black and white pieces on the chessboard into the lamp, and at the same time said: "Xiao Che, there is nothing particularly important about calling you here this time, it is that Yu Rou brought back something two days ago, the same thing for you. ”
Xiao Che frowned and said, "What is it?"
Zhuang Nantian shook his head: "I don't know what it is." ”
At this moment, Yu Rou walked out of the house, holding a pitch-black stone box in her hand, and handed it to Xiao Che.
Xiao Che thought of something and asked, "Yurou, is this what Senior Yin asked you to bring me?"
Yurou nodded and said, "Aunt Yin said that she wants you to study hard." ”
Xiao Che had roughly determined that this stone box should be a piano score, and nodded, "Okay." ”
His gaze turned to Yu Lao and Zhuang Nantian, and said, "Yu Lao, Dean Zhuang, is there anything else?"
The space fell silent for a moment.
After a long time, Zhuang Nantian said in a deep voice: "I heard that you have wasted the night and sunk on Yinlu Mountain?"
Xiao Che admitted, but his brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "Can't you?"
Zhuang Nantian said with a smile: "Of course you can, as long as the study disciple acts reasonably, there is nothing that cannot be done, but..."
Xiao Che said: "Just what?"
Yu Lao took over the conversation and said, "King Qi's side is a little unhappy about this, you'd better go out of the study less recently, and don't have any dealings with King Qi's people." ”
Xiao Che nodded: "The kid knows." ”
......
The cultivated grass hall at night is beautiful.
The bright moonlight poured down through the window lattice, as if paved with some unknown sadness and melancholy.
Xiao Hong held a transparent white jade vial in his hand, sat on the shallow corridor freely, and said to Xiao Che beside him, "Why do you want to come here?"
Xiao Che shook his head and said, "The study is full of people, it's not good." ”
He said and looked at the vial in Xiao Hong's hand, and in the bottle was the green grass picked from the top of the clouds of Yinlu Mountain, and said, "Seeing that you have raised it for so many days, why don't you see this little grass have any tendency to grow?"
Xiao Hong frowned slightly and said, "I don't know why." ”
Xiao Che suddenly reacted: "By the way, Senior Yin also asked me to tell you to take good care of this little grass." ”
Xiao Hong exclaimed, "Senior Yin?"
Xiao Che nodded and said, "Senior Yin asked Yurou to bring me a set of piano scores, and when I flipped through it today, I found that there were words written by her on the last page." ”
Xiao Hong's bright eyes flashed with fiery hope.
And Xiao Che seemed to see through her heart, and said with a smile: "I know you want to ask if Senior Yin knows how to make this little grass grow faster, but unfortunately the last page only asks you to take good care of this grass, and nothing else." ”
Xiao Hong sighed helplessly, like a deflated ball.
A comforting silence followed.
Xiao Che took out the heart-washing guqin and placed it on his knees, the sound of the piano between the beating notes was melodious and tactful, and it was extremely fresh in the ears, as if it could make people's mood become peaceful and quiet.
Xiao Hong quietly leaned on the Zhu Fence beside her, listening to the sound of the piano, she seemed to have forgotten all her troubles, and she was so beautiful that a genuine smile involuntarily appeared on her cheeks.
The name of this song is pure under the moon.
The night when the bright moon hangs high, the quiet and comfortable ploughing thatched cottage, the young man playing the piano on the corridor, and the girl leaning slightly on the vermilion rail, seem to constitute a beautiful picture.
But this beautiful picture is broken by the inappropriate heavy gasp.
Xiao Che stopped stroking the qin, the sound of the qin gradually stopped, and when he looked up, there was a black shadow in the forest in the distance rushing towards this side.
That black shadow is the Great Wisdom.
Xiao Che got up and asked in a deep voice, "Is that Wanhe Winery really abnormal?"
A solemn light flashed in Dazhi's eyes, and he said, "As the young master guessed, Huo Wuming, the head of Wanhe Winery, did collude with King Qi, and it is still unclear what he is plotting. ”
Xiao Che asked again, "Has the person who handed over Huo Wuming found out?"
Dazhi nodded: "It has been confirmed that he is a disciple of the study." ”
Xiao Che frowned and said, "Who?"
Dazhi smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Holy Son Xi Fan." ”
Xiao Che exclaimed, "How could it be him?!"
Dazhi lowered his head, as if he didn't want to believe it.
At the beginning, Lao Hei ruthlessly killed Xi Ming, and Xi Fan, who was his elder brother, did not feel sorry for him at all, so their cognition and evaluation of Xi Fan was not bad, but they never thought that he would do such a rebellious thing.
Knowing people, knowing faces, but not hearts.
Xiao Hong didn't know the ins and outs of this matter very well, but after hearing the conversation between Xiao Che and Dazhi, he could sort out the matter almost completely, and said, "How did you find out that there was collusion between Wanhe Winery and King Qi, and how did you find out about Xi Fan's head?"
Xiao Che explained: "A few days ago, I went to red... When I went to Changyang Street and passed by Wanhe Winery, I happened to meet Huo Wuming, the head of Wanhe Winery, distributing the aged wine of various noble houses. ”
Xiao Hong said: "And then?"
Xiao Che said: "Among them, the wine on one of the carriages is made from sweet leaves that have been aged for at least fifty years, and there are no more than ten people in the huge Divine Capital City who can drink this kind of wine. ”
Xiao Hong said: "Of course the Qiwang Mansion is one. ”
Xiao Che said: "Maybe you can't smell it, Luo Mubai has this kind of wine smell on his body." ”
Xiao Hong said: "But this can't confirm that the sweet leaf brew on the carriage was sent to the Qiwang Mansion, are you secretly following it?"
Xiao Che shook his head: "It's not that troublesome, I saw a not very obvious mark on the bearing of the wheel, and this kind of mark I have seen before, and you have seen it before." ”
Xiao Hong frowned and said, "Is there one?"
Xiao Che smiled, "Have you forgotten that we sneaked into the Qiwang Mansion the night before the end of the year?"
Xiao Hong nodded: "At the beginning, Dean Zhuang broke the door strongly, and slowly moved until the Forget Worry Pavilion, and the guards were terrified, so we were able to watch a good show without being discovered." ”
Xiao Che smiled: "Yes, you should be very impressed by that Forget Worries Pavilion, right? Because you said something very special at that time. ”
Xiao Hong's eyes suddenly glowed: "Isn't that mark the shape of the Forgotten Worry Pavilion?"
Xiao Che smiled and nodded: "You guessed right, at that time you said that this Forget Worry Pavilion is made of sandalwood as a beam, Fan Jin is the pillar base, and the top of the pavilion is covered with glazed tiles, who will notice the exquisite design of its original shape with such a gorgeous decoration." ”
Xiao Hong swallowed his throat: "This King Qi is so courageous, and he is not afraid of being discovered?"
Xiao Che shook his head: "You are wrong, King Qi is the safest and safest way to do this, if it weren't for your words to remind me, I don't think I would have guessed even if I knew that there was an article in this carriage." ”
Xiao Hong continued: "Wouldn't it be safer not to engrave the mark?"
Dazhi took over the conversation and said: "Wanhe Winery is the largest winery in the Shendu City, not only aging all kinds of wine, but also almost half of the wine drunk by the people in the capital. ”
After a breath, Dazhi continued: "So I think that the bearing of the carriage engraved with the mark must be vacuum, and there must be a secret letter of communication between Huo Wuming and King Qi in the occasion. ”
Xiao Hong nodded: "That's reasonable." ”
Da Zhi turned to look at Xiao Che and said, "Young Master, I also found out some other news on this trip. ”
Xiao Che said: "You say." ”
Dazhi said: "Some people say that the night sinking water you abolished on the top of the Yinlu Mountain is not only a killer, but he also has another identity?"
Xiao Che said: "What identity?"
Dazhi said in a deep voice: "The son of the lord of the Cangyun Kingdom, a vassal state of the Xuanluo Dynasty, the Lord of the Cangyun Kingdom, is sinking in the water at night. ”
Xiao Che suddenly thought of what Dean Yu Lao and Zhuang said to him today, if this was the case, then wouldn't it be he who pushed the situation of the study to an even more dangerous situation? Although Cangyun Kingdom was a vassal state of the Imperial Dynasty, it must have truly united the battle with King Tongqi right now.
