Chapter 90: The Story of the Puppet (1)

That was almost sixty years ago. www.biquge.info I was only 20 years old at the time, and I had just graduated from school, so I only felt that I had a unique skill, and the world was so big that I could swim. My first goal was a treasure hidden in the palace - a thousand-year-old agarwood.

At that time, I had not set any rules for myself, and it had not occurred to me to inform the owner of the thing before I started. So I took advantage of the night and quietly sneaked into the Lingxu Palace, where the thousand-year-old agarwood was stored.

Now the Lingxu Palace you know is already the emperor's place of idle swallows. But back then, it was an extremely important place, because the most respected and trusted protector of the country by Emperor Taizu, Yin Wuya, lived in it.

To this day, I still clearly remember that it was a windless and moonless night, I hid on the beams of the main hall of the Lingxu Palace, waiting for the two palace people who were in charge of night duty outside to extinguish the candles in the hall and close the temple door, and then I was going to steal the thousand-year-old agarwood.

Who knew that it backfired, and those palace people not only did not extinguish the candles in the hall, but also deliberately lit up a few palace lamps hanging outside the hall.

At this time, Yin Wuya actually walked out of the apse and ordered those palace people to retreat.

I was curious for a moment, so I peeked down from the beam to see what he wanted to do without sleeping in the middle of the night. Unexpectedly, this look really scared me out of a cold sweat, it turned out that Yin Wuya was standing under the beam and looking up at me!

Startled, I almost jumped up and ran away immediately, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh that I was really a thief. The temple beam I am on is more than six zhang high from the ground, and I am hiding in the dark with bated breath, although the martial arts of Yin Wuya are not weak, they may not be above me, and it is impossible to find me so quickly.

After realizing this, I immediately calmed down and carefully observed every move of Yin Wuya. I saw him look up for a long time, but suddenly sighed.

"Sleepless in the middle of the night, alone in the empty beam, I don't know what the national teacher is sighing for?" A clear voice suddenly came from outside the hall, and before the words fell, the person had already arrived in the hall, standing straight in front of the Yin Wuya like a javelin.

I was shocked at the time, because this visitor's martial arts were so terrifying that I was not even a match for ten. So I desperately held my breath, slowed down my heartbeat, and at the same time prayed to God and worship Buddha in my heart, hoping that this person's mind was on Yin Wuya, and he would not notice my existence.

"What I sigh about is that if you lose the pillar of the country, the king of Zhenbei, I don't know if the rich country can still be stable?"

Hearing Yin Wuya's answer, the only glimmer of hope in my heart was shattered in an instant!

Ling Tian! The person who came here turned out to be the number one master in the world-Ling Tian, the king of Zhenbei! How could this god-like figure let a little stupid thief like me be fooled?!

At that time, I was so frightened that my hands and feet were weak, and I felt that my life and death were only in his thoughts.

Ling Tian, the king of Zhenbei, immediately laughed when he heard Yin Wuya's words, and said: "I see!

"In this way, the king of Zhenbei already knows the intention of summoning Wuya late at night?"

"From the moment he sat on the throne, I knew that this day would come. ”

"But you didn't choose to leave, did you do it for the queen?"

"In my heart, she has always been Princess Qingping. At that time, I had made a vow to follow her all my life, and I would always stay by her side and never leave. ”

"It's a pity that after tonight, you're going to leave!" Yin Wuya sighed softly.

"But Ling thought that the national teacher would definitely let me go with peace of mind. Ling Tian's voice was extremely calm.

"Wuya swears here, in her lifetime, she will keep Princess Qingping and the child in her womb safe!"

"Okay! With the promise of the Yin State Master, Ling will no longer have any concerns!"

"Then please ask the king of Zhenbei to drink this send-off wine!"

At that time, I didn't know where I got the courage, but I actually looked down from the beam again, only to see Ling Tian take the glass of wine from Yin Wuya's hand, raise his head and drink it. And the moment he looked up, I saw him wink at me on the beam.

Then Ling Tian said to Yin Wuya: "Presumably, it is inconvenient for the national teacher to stay in this palace for the night, why don't you go to Ling's mansion early tomorrow morning and give me a ride." ”

"So a word, it's a certainty! The night is deep and cold, please go all the way to the king of Zhenbei!"

Ling Tian laughed again, turned around and strode away.

Yin Wuya had been standing there watching Ling Tian go away, and suddenly sighed deeply, and then turned to the apse.

I immediately jumped off the beam, no longer caring about the thousand-year-old agarwood, and chased after Ling Tian in the direction where Ling Tian had left.

As soon as he chased out of the palace gate, he saw Ling Tian's tall figure standing in the street. He turned his head and looked at me with those eyes that seemed to be able to see everything, and suddenly smiled toothily and said, "Little brother, come with me!"

I just felt that my heart was hot, and I didn't think much about anything, so I walked side by side with this big hero in my mind on the empty street.

"Little brother, your surname?" Ling Tian looked at me with a smile, his tone surprisingly gentle.

At this time, I remembered that he found me hiding on the beam in the Ling Xuan Hall just now, and he must have guessed that I was a thief, so I couldn't help but feel empty, and replied with a little embarrassment: "In Xia Meng, I have seen Ling Wangye." ”

"You and I meet in Pingshui, don't talk about those false courtesies, if you call me big brother, I will call you little brother, how about it?"

I couldn't hide the excitement in my heart, and immediately shouted: "Big brother!"

Ling Tian smiled heartily, "Little brother is really a happy person! You and I met today, and it can be regarded as fate." Let's go, come with me for a drink!"

Without saying a word, I followed him a few streets until I came to a tall mansion. I looked up at the top of the mansion gate, and it was written "Zhenbei Wangfu".

Ling Tian casually pushed open the door of the mansion that was originally hidden, and walked in, and at the same time said a sentence in his mouth: "There is no one in the mansion, you don't have to be restrained." ”

Although I was secretly wondering in my heart, why was this huge palace empty, and it was pitch black?, but since Ling Tian was there, I didn't have any scruples, and followed him all the way through several open doors, and finally entered the only side hall in the entire palace that was lit up.

The furnishings in this side room are extremely simple, except for a mahogany table of eight immortals and four high chairs, and a square sandalwood box in the corner, but other than that, it can be said to be almost empty.

Ling Tian asked me to sit casually, while he went out for a spin and soon came back with two large wine jars in his arms.

"These two jars of autumn dew are the private collection of the owner of Juxian Lou's cellar, which I won with great difficulty, and today it is cheaper for you kid!" he said, while putting the two jars of wine on the table, he turned around and touched two large porcelain bowls out of nowhere, and also placed them on the table.

Seeing him so busy greeting me, a nobody, I felt a little uneasy, and hurriedly slapped the mud seal on a jar of wine, trying to fill the bowl for him. But he pointed to the bowl of wine in front of me and said, "This jar of wine in your hand belongs to you, and this jar of mine is here, and we will each have one jar, and no one will drink much!"

I didn't expect this great hero to be so careful about a jar of wine, so I had to smile and pour the wine into my own bowl. Then he watched as he carefully poured the jar of wine that belonged to him into the bowl, as if he was afraid of spilling a drop and wasting the good wine.

After the first bowl of wine was over, I could understand why Ling Tian cherished this wine so much. Because this jar of autumn dew white is by no means an ordinary winter wine, but should be a mellow wine that has been stored for many years, which is really a rare treasure in the world.

Seeing my intoxicated and happy expression, Ling Tian couldn't help but laugh, "It seems that the little brother is also a good drinker, since the wine is a confidant, we should drink it more happily!"

As if there had been a tacit understanding, Ling Tian and I sat in this empty hall, drinking bowl after bowl, he didn't ask me where I came from, and I didn't ask where he was going.

When I realized that less than half of the wine in the altar was left, Ling Tian suddenly spoke, "This snow has finally fallenβ€”"

The sound of a gust of wind blowing snowflakes against the window lattice suddenly came, but I didn't look out the window, but looked at Ling Tian sitting on the opposite side fixedly, a wisp of blood was slowly flowing down his lips......
