Chapter 21 (10)
The next day, Shunzhi was still excited, and he came to the room first and comforted: "Yun'er, are you still able to eat?" Why don't you rest for another day, tomorrow I will lead the people to worship the ancestors, and then we will leave for Beijing after another day. Shen Shiyun nodded softly and said, "Your Majesty, you can go." The concubines can take care of themselves and will not cause trouble to the emperor. ”
Cheng Jiaxuan hadn't heard about the whereabouts of the Seven Evil Treasures, how to be willing, and hurriedly played: "Your Majesty, it's freezing outside, and the slaves and maids also want to stay and serve Niangniang." Shunzhi said: "Well, you two are weak, you can take care of each other, and I can rest assured." He said a few more words and took the people away.
Although Cheng Jiaxuan felt that the probability of success was low, she still didn't dare to take it lightly, and shrank in the corner of the wall and pretended to close her eyes to recuperate, but she kept peeking at Shen Shiyun from the corner of her eyes. When he arrived, he thought that it was very likely that he would still be as futile as the day before, and was lamenting in his heart, when he suddenly heard a quick knock at the door outside the room.
Cheng Jiaxuan went to open the door, bumped into a shopkeeper probing his brain, and when he saw her open the door, he immediately flashed into the room like a monkey, closed the door, and said in a low voice: "Girl, there are two guest officers downstairs, born with swallow jaws and tiger whiskers, leopard heads and eyes, and at a glance they look like a fierce god." As soon as I entered the store, I sat down on the table with a big smile, which was already booked for someone, and the villain stepped forward to persuade him, and was scolded by them. These two people named the girl who lived in the second room of Tianzi, and said that if they couldn't see you, they wouldn't leave, and if it was serious, they would smash the store, obviously because the person who came was not good. The shopkeeper didn't want to make a fuss, so I tried to make amends as much as possible. Hey, they are guests, and it's not easy to offend, but the small shop is open for business, and it is also responsible for protecting the girl's safety. If you're afraid, we'll find some thugs to lie on the side and protect them secretly, you see this ......."
Before Shen Shiyun could finish listening to him, he interrupted and sneered: "I remember that I have never been afraid of anyone. But these two people don't seem to know much about the rules, since they want to see me, you let them go upstairs. I don't have to invite thugs, I'm ashamed. The shopkeeper persuaded him with kind words: "This is unacceptable! There are many people in the shop, and they can still take care of it, but if they are locked in the room and no one takes care of them, once they start to move, no one can help." The girl must not be rash and put her own safety at risk......"
Shen Shiyun sneered: "It's really verbose, I'm not afraid, what are you nervous about? It's just a shopkeeper, and he knows how to chew words when he speaks, and his stomach is full of sour and rotten gas, which is also ridiculous." Let's go! If you really get started, it's hard to say who will suffer. The shopkeeper touched a few hard nails in a row, and had to go downstairs with a lament. Shen Shiyun glanced at Cheng Jiaxuan with a light smile and said, "Xiao Xuan, those two reckless men are brave and unscrupulous, can you handle it?"
Cheng Jiaxuan said: "Niangniang, don't worry, the slave will definitely be able to protect you." Xin said: "Two bastards, what kind of mess are you here at this time?" Maybe Concubine Yun had already intended to take the Seven Evil Treasures, but she was troubled by you, but I was afraid that there was little hope." Alas, tomorrow I have to worship my ancestors with the emperor, and then I will return to Beijing immediately, and I have no chance. When the father-in-law asked, what ...... That...... What am I for? I didn't finish the task, and this resentment is all on you two fools today!"
was ruthless in his heart, the door was kicked open with a "bang", and two black-faced men stood at the door, with angry eyebrows and menacing momentum. One was slightly taller with a long scar on his left eye, while the other was shorter with a long scar on his right eye. As soon as these two people stood up, they immediately blocked the way out. Cheng Jiaxuan pressed the hilt of the sword. Shen Shiyun didn't take the enemy in his eyes at all, Sen Leng's gaze only swept away, and the two big men immediately softened, nodded their heads, and made a smile, long lost the fierce appearance described by their shopkeepers.
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "What are you two doing here?" The short man took a step forward and said with a smile: "Girl, don't be angry first, we are not here to make trouble, but to make a deal with you......" Shen Shiyun said coldly: "I am not a businessman, and I don't know the two of you, where to start when it comes to doing business?"
The short man smiled and said, "Don't be too busy refusing, we guarantee that this deal will be beneficial to you, so you won......'t be tempted," Shen Shiyun interrupted: "No need, thank you for your kindness." I have no friendship with you, but I am willing to sacrifice my own interests and accommodate me, and I admit that you are a great good person. ”
The short man scratched his head and said, "We heard that the girl has a peerless piano, and now we want to persuade the girl that no matter how much silver taels you spent at the beginning, our brother will pay double the price to buy it back." Not only did you not lose money, but you made a profit, how about it, it's still very cost-effective, right?"
Shen Shiyun sneered: "The news is also well-informed, what does this have to do with you?" The short man said: "This piano is in the girl's hand, but it is a beautiful decoration, in our brother, the meaning is great, you don't know, this piano is ......" The tall man shouted: "Second brother!" The short man shrunk his neck and said nothing.
Shen Shiyun said: "If the two of you really love the piano, you can go to the piano shops everywhere to choose at will, why bother with this one?" The short man said: "My brothers are performing on the streets, and they are eating by their skills, and they don't recruit anyone or provoke anyone." You snatched the piano, and it took me a lot of effort, so I found out that the girl had played the piano here last night, and spent a lot of money to ask for the girl's room number. Worried that it would disturb your rest, I waited until so late to dare to visit. ”
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "It's too much." It's not what I said, if you have a lot of money to ask, it's better to buy a piano again to fill the number. The short man smiled bitterly and said, "As I said, this piano means something different to my brothers." When the villagers heard that we had lost the piano, they were so angry that they picked up the big stick and hit it, and you didn't dare to think that there was such a thick ......," he gestured with his palms open.
Cheng Jiaxuan sneered: "Hey, no, didn't you all say it when you cheated money, your parents are dead, and you are in a foreign land? What kind of play is this singing, and the dead relatives are still visiting relatives?" The short man was extremely embarrassed and said, "You also said that we were cheating money, which is not true...... But the piano ...... That ......"
Shen Shiyun said: "Oh, could it be that there is something special about that piano......?
Shen Shiyun said coldly: "Still lying! If you don't want to tell me the truth, why do you want me to do what you want?" With a flip of his wrist, he picked up a piano from under the table, and said leisurely: "I do have a piano, but how can I prove that this is yours?" As soon as the short man saw the piano, his hanging heart was also fixed, and he said, "Come, I'll show you." Just as he was about to step forward, Cheng Jiaxuan took a step forward and said, "Stop! ”
The short man was not in a hurry, and said, "Look at the lower right end of the piano, the words 'Seven Evils and Absolute Sounds' are engraved in Sanskrit. Do you know what this means? That means ......" Cheng Jiaxuan exclaimed: "Seven evils, seven evils and treasures?" The short man did not show his joy and confidant, and said in confusion: "Seven evils and treasures? What are the seven evils and treasures?" The tall man frowned and drank: "Second brother!"
The short man shook his hand and said, "Big brother, don't worry about it, at this point, I will definitely tell her everything, I see that these two girls are not unreasonable people."
The two of us brothers live in the deserted village of Hetuala over there, and I heard that the old clan lives here, as if they are guarding something, and they are afraid that we will see the intention of getting rich, so we have not said it explicitly. We calculated that we had buried treasures in the deserted village, and we had been plowing the fields all day long, and we had almost turned the village upside down, but we still hadn't dug up anything, so we guessed that we were thinking nonsense, and we didn't have much hope.
It was about six or seven years ago, I don't remember clearly, there was a stranger in the village, when he was first found, he was seriously injured, covered with blood, and had a broken leg, I rescued him at home, and when he woke up, he quietly told us, Zhaozong Ancestral Hall...... It's a dilapidated ancestral hall in our village...... There was an ancient tomb at the bottom, and he knew a shortcut to the temple of Hades, so he drew a picture and instructed us to go on a treasure hunt somewhere, on the condition that the treasure obtained would belong to him, and he would give us silver. We didn't believe it at all, when he had a fever and burned to the ground.
After a few years, we all had a lot of energy, unwilling to live in a broken village where birds don't lay eggs for the rest of our lives, and we searched through the house for most of the day before we found the old picture. According to the instructions on the map, Baoqin was dug up...... Well, this is it. We don't know about the 'Seven Evil Sounds', but I showed it to a great monk from the Western Regions, listened to him, and said that this qin is a priceless treasure.
We were all overjoyed, the stranger had not been in touch for so long, who knows if it was a recurrence of injuries on the way back? And he has not given us any benefit, and my family has saved his life, and he owes us something, and it is not a conscience to swallow this piano. Besides, this qin was buried in an ancient tomb in our village, how did it become his out of thin air? He is also a tomb robber who uses us to do things. If you analyze it in this way, you will be at ease.
Our brother has a brute force, so he plans to go to the Jianye Dart Bureau to ask for an errand, and it just so happens that this piano opens the way. It just so happened that the Jianye Dart Bureau was also thinking of offering some tribute to the king of Qingtianzhai, which was considered to have paid for the road, and after the dart passed through Taihang Mountain, Qingtianzhai had to be embarrassed by them. In the line of dart, if you want to make a name for yourself, it is not to see how high your martial arts are, but to need you to be familiar with your friends in the rivers and lakes, and when they recognize your banner, they will naturally sell some face. There is a way that officials and bandits are originally a family, and that is what it is.
But when the people in our village found out, they were furious, saying that the guqin was a relic of the benefactor, and it should be properly kept, so how could it be easily given to others. The two of us were so angry that we stole the guqin and went to the street to perform, and the little boy told us that he was the apprentice of the Evil Star, and he ...... Ahem......"
Thinking that he used strange methods to paralyze his hands and feet, and the two of them were defeated by a child, it was a great shame, so he didn't want to mention more, coughed a few times and said: "We don't know much about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and we learned from many inquiries that the Remnant Star had already betrayed the Shadow Sacrifice Sect, and now he is a long-overdue figure. In today's martial arts, the most powerful is Qingtianzhai, even the Demon Sect has been inactive for a long time, and it has been relegated to the second class, who can afford to provoke them?"
Shen Shiyun was dissatisfied in his heart, and said coldly: "Qingtianzhai is rampant now, isn't it all carried out by people? If people with lofty ideals in the world had resisted, it would have been destroyed long ago, and you volunteered to help the abuse, who will complain?"
The tall man didn't say much, and said in a deep voice at this time: "We have decided to take this piano, you have to give it, if you don't give it, you have to give it." Do it!" As soon as the word came out at the end of him, the short man immediately took a step forward, Cheng Jiaxuan moved faster than him, kicked out, and at the same time drew his sword in his hand, cut forward diagonally, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" The short man was caught off guard, a wound was cut on his wrist, and with a strange scream, his palm sank, and he slashed at Cheng Jiaxuan's right shoulder. Cheng Jiaxuan stepped back to the side, slapped out his other palm one after another, flipped up and down, and set aside the enemy's attacks one by one, pointing at his left rib.
