Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 146
[Chapter 111 [Double shift in one] Eat my uncle…]
If someone catches them hiding here, it will inevitably lead to misunderstanding, so hiding is not enough, Lin Chengyou also motioned Teng Yuyi to hold her breath with the inner training method he taught her.
Teng Yuyi did as she did, and the peach blossom swordsmanship that Lin Chengyou taught her is said to have been created by a founder of Taoism Zhongnan Mountain. No matter it is practicing or holding your breath, it is much easier than ordinary people.
The two silently hid behind the tree.
There are two people coming, one in front and one behind.
The man in front was a man who had practiced martial arts, and his steps were light and steady.
Behind it is a woman.
Soon he was near, the man in front stopped, looked around and heard no obvious human voice, and said in a very low voice: “This place is fairly clean, I will leave after a few words with you.”
The woman said, “If the prince has something to say, please speak directly. If you have been away for a long time, the younger sister should come back to me.”
Teng Yuyi and Lin Chengyou were taken aback, it was the prince and Du Tinglan. If I knew it was them earlier, it would be better to greet them directly. This time, it’s okay, it’s not to hide, it’s not to dodge.
The prince whispered, “Have you read the letter I sent?”
Du Tinglan was silent: “I haven’t opened it yet.
” Man, do you have any other concerns?”
Du Tinglan’s voice trembled, whether it was fear or shame: “The prince is serious. His Royal Highness, Long Zhangfeng, has a kind-hearted nature, and ministers and daughters only admire and respect the prince. Just say it.”
“Then why don’t you accept my gift and refuse to go out to meet me? Are you afraid that I am not sincere to you, do you know that it is not a day or two that I have a good impression of you, auntie? She also likes you very much.”
Du Tinglan said in a panic, “Thanks to the wrong love of the Queen and His Highness, how dare the ministers and daughters-”
After a while, Du Tinglan seemed to have calmed down a bit: “I dare to ask Your Highness, His Highness has only seen the courtiers and daughters a few times, and you don’t even know the temperament of the courtiers and daughters, so why do you think I am good.” The
prince seemed to understand a little: ” Are you worried that I’m just on a whim for you?”
Du Tinglan didn’t say a word, but there was a soft stubbornness in the silence.
The prince was dumb for a moment, then laughed in a low voice: “You are so cute like this. I like it very much.”
Du Tinglan’s breath became more and more disordered, but she still insisted: “Your Highness, please be serious… answer the question of the minister and daughter.” The
prince suddenly After a while, his tone became very solemn: “Don’t worry, I don’t care about you on a whim. There are some things that I don’t want to say, but since you want to ask clearly, I will tell you in detail.
“The first time I saw you was In Ledao Villa, your splendid heart and beautiful mouth certainly made people feel good, but I know that there are many people in this world who are clear in words and deeds, and few people are consistent in appearance and deed, so I just knew that you were the daughter of Duke Du, and did not treat you. Pay more attention. As a result, when I met you after that, you always made people look at you with admiration. You took the initiative to return the Ning Xinlian you picked up to others. On Mount Li, you were the first to go back to help the injured peasant woman. On the night of the Buddha Bathing Festival, your brother accidentally stepped on an old woman’s foot. Not only did you stay to make amends, but you also gave the money from your body to the grandparents. Your sister has an accident. You cry with red nose and swollen eyes. Your sister takes refuge in the Dayin Temple. You have to accompany her to live in the temple regardless of the danger. You are not only sincere and sincere, but the friendship between sisters is also very moving. Although I have not dealt with you directly, I see all these things in my eyes. Soft-hearted, people live up to their name. ”
That time, when Ada didn’t tell you the truth that Lu Zhaoan used Gu on you, you asked him to tell me all these things, saying that Ada taught you to be an honest man, and persuaded me to get rid of my thoughts as soon as possible. Later, you learned that Lu Zhaoan used poison to harm people, because he was afraid that he would harm other women again, and he was not afraid of damaging his reputation, so he took the initiative to testify at Dali Temple. After I figured out the ins and outs, I felt unspeakable pity for you, and after this incident, I realized that you are not only pure and kind, but also resolute and resolute. ”
Du Tinglan said nothing.
“Do you still think I’m on a whim? You think I’ve only seen you a few times, but I already know how good you are, otherwise why would I ask you to be the crown prince?” The prince’s voice became lower and lower.
Du Tinglan moved in a panic, and then the footsteps stopped again. I don’t know if it was held by the prince or the prince took him into his arms.
Teng Yuyi heard the sound of fabric rubbing, a heart almost popped out of her throat, and then peeked at the side, Lin Chengyou’s ears actually turned red.
Lin Chengyou frowned and closed his eyes, crying in his heart.
Who would have thought that A Qi ran into such a coincidence to confess to Du Tinglan.
It just so happened that he was with Teng Yuyi again.
Going out again at this moment will only embarrass both parties, so they have to stand firm.
Fortunately, the two quickly separated again. Du Tinglan struggled and said, “I… I have to go.” The
prince seemed to hold Du Tinglan again: “Can you leave the house tomorrow?”
Du Tinglan didn’t speak, but breathed in a low voice It shows that she is in a mess now.
The prince also seemed a little embarrassed and said with a smile: “I heard people say that if a man loves a woman, he will try his best to stay with her. I’m too lazy to make excuses like I used to, I just want to see you more.”
Lin Chengyou’s ears exploded, what is a guilty conscience, this moment is a lesson. It sounded like he was talking about him, he subconsciously glanced at Teng Yuyi, Teng Yuyi looked up at the moonlight above his head, as if nothing had happened.
Lin Chengyou scolded the prince in his heart, and if he made his heart clear, he would make his heart clear. What are you talking about? What a “bad excuse”, his excuses are always upright.
Until the prince and Du Tinglan left, the atmosphere behind the tree was still indescribably weird.
In the end, Lin Chengyou was the first to speak: “…Catch the monster is a big deal, remember to leave early tomorrow.”
Very righteous tone.
Teng Yuyi didn’t look up to appreciate the moonlight this time, but looked at the bunch of beautiful hosta flowers over there, she sighed when she heard Lin Chengyou say this.
How do you know someone is coming from outside.
Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi glanced at each other quickly and had to hide again.
Here comes a group of people. There are two ladies in front, followed by a number of maids.
Lin Chengyou and Teng Yuyi slandered at the same time: Why is it endless.
Then, more and more breathless.
The two ladies knew each other, one was the wife of Liu Guying, the minister of households, and the other was Mrs. Lin, the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Lin’an.
The two of them seemed a little drunk, and sighed as they walked: “It’s too hot inside, but it’s still cool outside, this place is quiet, let’s take a rest here, oh, I just asked the court to give the children of Xiangxiang Academy the guidance on the seat. Why do you keep winking at me about
the marriage?” It was Mrs. Lin who said this.
Mrs. Liu said: “I just saw you mention the Prince of Chun’an County. I was afraid that you would be a slap in the face, so I kindly help you to divert the topic.”
Mrs. Lin smiled in surprise: “Where did you start with this? The king has not married yet, and in the past, I don’t know how many people wanted to marry His Royal Highness, but unfortunately His Royal Highness refused. Speaking of which, His Highness is in his twenties, and he has never been married. My niece is different. She was born in the Lu family of Fanyang and came to Chang’an at the beginning of the year. She is outstanding in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If I ask His Royal Highness to see it, maybe I will fall in love at a glance. I said that I want this child to enter the Xiangxiang Academy to study next year, just because I want to be a matchmaker.”
Madam Liu smiled: “You and I have been friends since childhood. I can tell you. You can put this thought away. I heard from the master that most of His Royal Highnesses have someone he likes. The day before yesterday, His Royal Highness was inquired about how the royal family and princes handle marriage affairs. I’ve asked for the decree, if I really want to get married, how can I wait for next year.”
Lin Chengyou was shocked, blaming him for being busy investigating the case these few days, but he didn’t know that the uncle had a crush.
Teng Yuyi was also surprised.
Mrs. Lin asked with a smile, “Which family’s wife has the county king liked?”
“I don’t know. I guess it is the daughter of a foreign official. Maybe it’s not long since I came to Chang’an. , maybe it is the daughter of General Teng, because the daughters of foreign officials who came to the DPRK this year are the most talented and beautiful. The last time I met a great evil at Yuzhen Nuguan Guan, I heard that it was this child who brought his companions The person who escaped, His Royal Highness the prince is like a fairy, and ordinary women would not look down on it.”
Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, these words must be too outrageous.
It is not surprising that the family members would pay attention to these matters. The marriage of the royal children was related to the previous dynasty. It was inconvenient for the husbands of the previous dynasty to openly inquire.
When a maid came over, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Lin left.
Teng Yuyi turned her head, only to find that Lin Chengyou’s face was ugly.
Lin Chengyou’s face was ugly and ugly, afraid that there would be a third wave of people next, he glanced at Teng Yuyi, quickly loosened his brows, said “remember to come out earlier tomorrow”, and walked away to the other side.
***
Teng Yuyi didn’t sleep in the next day and got up early in the morning.
After combing his hair and changing his robe, he sat in front of the dressing table and meticulously put the mask sent by Cheng Bo on his face.
After putting it on, she looked around at the mirror. In the mirror was a completely unfamiliar face. Except for the eyes and lips, which belonged to her, everything else was far from her own facial features. He Biluo said: “Ask Cheng Bo, this mask is a bit ugly, can you change it to a more beautiful one?”
Chunrong and Biluo looked at each other in amazement. The beauty of the mask is ugly.
Biluo said helplessly: “My servant, go ask.”
After a while, Biluo returned to the house holding a few masks: “Cheng Bo said that he still has a few pictures, but they are not very good-looking. If Yi Rong makes it too beautiful, it should be noticed by others. If you don’t go out to a banquet, why do you care about beauty and ugliness, just use this, at least it’s inconspicuous.”
Teng Yuyi looked at the person in the mirror impatiently, thinking about it carefully, she seemed to be a little unreasonable, Yi Rong? , of course, it’s better to make people unrecognizable, so she dismissed the weird idea: “Okay.”
After dressing up, Teng Yuyi asked Duanfu to disguise herself, while she sat by the window and carefully wiped Xiaoya. The sword was wiped and was about to have breakfast when Uncle Cheng came over and said, “Prince Cheng is here.”
Cheng Bo said hesitantly.
Hearing this, Teng Yuyi didn’t care about eating anymore, and took Duanfu out of the house without saying a word. Lin Chengyou repeatedly stressed yesterday that he should leave earlier, maybe he has other arrangements after returning to the city.
When he went out, he saw Lin Chengyou on horseback waiting outside the door.
The sky was still a touch of cyan, Lin Chengyou was wearing a golden crown, and the outline of his body was plated with a layer of gold borders by the morning sun. Behind him was the Qingyunguan chariot, and even the driver was ready-made.
“Get in the car.” Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yuyi answered happily, let Duanfu sit outside with the driver of Qingyunguan, and lifted the curtain and got into the car.
After turning around the alley and walking out of the city for a short distance, we arrived at Yinchun Alley, and in front of it was a famous gluttonous restaurant in Chang’an.
Lin Chengyou reined in his horse: “I haven’t had breakfast yet, so let’s eat something before leaving.” When
Teng Yuyi smelled the aroma wafting from the alley, he realized that he was in a hurry to have breakfast, so he was in a hurry. The car said, “Okay.”
Lin Chengyou seemed to be very familiar with the restaurants in these streets and alleys. As soon as the host saw him, he greeted him enthusiastically: “The prince is here. This is—”
Lin Chengyou smiled and said, “Qingyun Guanxin’s junior brother, just call her Wuwei.”
Teng Yuyi pretended to salute: “Poor Daoist bows his head.”
The host’s enthusiasm was unreasonable: “The Taoist priest please come in.”
“Want to eat sweet or salty.” Lin Chengyou turned his head and asked Teng Yuyi.
Teng Yu thought for a while: “It’s sweet.”
Lin Chengyou asked the host to make four glutinous rice cakes and present them, two for Duanfu and the driver outside the store, and two for the table. The salty glutinous rice with crab roe and smallpox mushroom, and the cherry glutinous rice with cheese for Teng Yuyi.
The two of them sat at the table by the window, and sat quietly facing each other for dinner. The golden morning light penetrated into the window, casting a soft color on their faces.
Teng Yuyi was very satisfied with the taste of this gluttony. Lin Chengyou often walked around the streets to handle cases. When he was hungry, he would buy some food to fill his stomach. When it comes to finding food, I am afraid that few people in Chang’an City are better than him.
Lin Chengyou quickly finished eating, and cleaned his hands with a towel. Seeing that Teng Yuyi was still tasting slowly, he waited patiently.
After she finished eating, she asked, “Are you full?”
Teng Yuyi cleaned her hands, pointed out the window and asked, “Is there any other food nearby? There won’t be so many restaurants when we leave the city, so why not buy more? Other things go on the road.”
Lin Chengyou smiled, this idea is not bad, maybe he didn’t bother to show it, after thinking about it, he got up and said: “Okay, come with me.”
Taking Teng Yuyi around , I quickly bought a lot of things for her, all of which are very famous food nearby. I bought several copies of the cakes alone, one for the flames, one for the golden millet, and one for the pig. , fish paste, all kinds of preserved fruit… all of them are easy to carry and satiety dry food.
“Will I buy too much?” Teng Yuyi asked Lin Chengyou. At first, she was eager to taste everything, and she felt that it was too much to buy.
Lin Chengyou looked at the pile of food boxes, and said after thinking, “It’s almost there. You can hide the ones you like the most in the car, and let Duanfu hold the rest.”
Teng Yuyi snorted: “Why hide it?”
“You will find out later, let’s go and buy wine.” Lin Chengyou took Teng Yuyi to a shop called Baijia Liquor Store and asked the host to send one When the wine bag came out, he picked up the wine bag and twisted the mouth of the bottle to let Teng Yuyi smell it.
“Smell.”
Teng Yuyi sniffed, his face full of surprise: “Bolo wine?”
Lin Chengyou’s eyes were full of smiles, and he knew that Teng Yuyi would like it.
“How?”
Teng Yuyi was full of praise: “Good wine, good wine.”
She admired Lin Chengyou so much, this restaurant is so inconspicuous, who would have thought that there is such a master brewer hidden in it, the aroma is as clear as snow, nothing compared to good The brewing department came out of the poor.
She asked the price with great interest, but she didn’t expect it to be expensive, Lin Chengyou asked the host to send ten bags out, paid for the wine bill, turned around and asked Teng Yuyi: “Do you want to buy anything else?”
Teng Yuyi was satisfied: “Enough is enough.
Lin Chengyou got on his horse and said, “Let’s go on the road then.” With
Teng Yuyi, he went straight out of the city, exited the Yanping Gate, and walked forward for a while, and there was an abandoned village at the end of the road.
Teng Yuyi looked out through the curtains, and there were actually five old Taoist priests riding small donkeys waiting by the side of the road.
“Five Dao?”
“Sir.” Seeing Tian jumped off the donkey and led the juniors to greet him.
Lin Chengyou said to Teng Yuyi outside the car, “Get out of the car.”
Teng Yuyi got out of the car and looked, even Jianxi and Jianle came. Since the two of them were injured by a corpse in Caifenglou, they haven’t come out for a long time. It seems that the wound is well maintained, and the two of them are flushed.
Lin Chengyou should have said hello in advance, Wu Dao was not surprised when he saw Teng Yuyi, came over to look at her up and down, and greeted cheerfully: “Wuwei Xiaodao Master.”
Teng Yuyi smiled and returned the salute: “Junior I have seen all of you Masters.”
Jianxi looked at Teng Yuyi ambiguous, and then looked at Lin Chengyou: “I was looking for the prince a few days ago, but the prince only said that he was not free, but I was quite free today, so I actually took out one. I spent all my time running out of the city to fight monsters.” The
air was silent, Lin Chengyou looked at Jianxi with a half-smile, if it weren’t for Jue Sheng and Qizhi not being there, and Teng Yuyi’s mana was not enough, he wouldn’t be too lazy to bring these five bad old men. The words didn’t bother him, he smiled slightly, and was about to put it back. Seeing that he was afraid that his younger brother would be slumped, he took the lead and replied: “The day before yesterday is the day before, today is today, the prince has his own arrangements, walk around, don’t talk too much. After the fight, we’d better go back to the city earlier.”
Teng Yuyi only understood why Lin Chengyou bought so much food, probably because Wudao was too noisy, so it’s better to buy some food in advance to block them with something at the right time. mouth.
After thinking about it, Guo heard Lin Chengyou say, “Wuwei, distribute the dry food you brought to several Taoist priests.”
Teng Yuyi waved Duanfu to bring the food box, and said to everyone considerately, “It takes too much effort to catch demons, Taoist The elders should just hide the dry food in their arms, and eat them when they are hungry.”
Wudao clamored around Duanfu, and because he was busy distributing the dry food, he was quiet for a while. .
The village in front of them is smoky and overgrown, with a faint yin rushing past.
“Yesterday, a fellow Taoist found traces of evil things here, but I didn’t dare to look inside. The evil spirit is so heavy, it’s probably just a profile.”
Lin Chengyou quietly looked at the village, and shook out a silver chain in his hand to make it turn into a long handle. Jian, told Teng Yuyi: “This place is not right, remember to follow me later, no matter what happens, don’t run away.”
Teng Yuyi nodded cautiously, drew his sword and followed Lin Chengyou, and asked Duanfu to confirm Whether the pouch on the neck is in good condition, this pouch was given by Lin Chengyou last time to deal with the resistance, and the talisman inside was painted by Daoist Qingxuzi himself, and the mana is comparable to an ordinary talisman.
Seeing Tianbian walking, he said, “By the way, Shizi, a few days ago, in order to find Chikuo, everyone in and out of the city has been deployed. Why do you send so many Taoists out of the city on time recently?”
Teng Yuyi’s heart moved, and Wu Qi said last time. Master Jing Chen said that there will be a “big disaster” in Chang’an soon. It seems that Lin Chengyou not only took this to heart, but also started to investigate what this so-called “big disaster” is.
Lin Chengyou said unhurriedly: “Don’t you think the appearance of the caliber is very strange, this thing is transformed by the evil spirit between heaven and earth, and it will not appear in non-chaotic times, but now it is a prosperous age. Endurance and corpse evil were destroyed a hundred years ago. It’s not surprising that it can be released by the Haoyue Sanren gang under the pressure of the law, but the chikuo is a soulless thing, can’t be manipulated, and it is impossible to be suppressed by the formation eye, and it suddenly appears, it can only show that there is a difference between heaven and earth. Elephant.”
Jian Le heard the words and looked up at the sky: “The astronomical phenomenon is a bit weird recently, but if you want to say what’s wrong, you can’t say it for a while. By the way, in the “Magic Book”, it is said that the caliber also indicates disaster. The ability of them, the appearance of them may not be for the present, maybe it is for the future.”
Teng Yuyi said in his heart, this is not a good idea, the size was originally empty, and it could only be generated by the bad weather. There were so many pops out, indicating that this evil spirit had existed for a while.
Lin Chengyou obviously didn’t agree with Jule’s statement, but he didn’t refute it, he just said: “Recently, when the seniors were patrolling outside the city, apart from the outline, did they see any unusual evil things? For example… Only the five strange ghosts that only appear in troubled times.”
Wudao shook their heads: “I haven’t heard of this, why did the prince ask this?”
Lin Chengyou was thoughtful and walked into the gate of the village as he spoke. The coolness is getting stronger and stronger. It is a sunny and sunny day, but the surrounding is foggy. Walking in the middle, you will lose your way.
In order to identify the direction, Teng Yuyi tried her best to round her eyes, but suddenly she heard the silver chain squeaking, something hit her waist in the fog, and then the silver chain quickly went back, and tied Duanfu as well. up.
Teng Yuyi breathed a sigh of relief, and Wudao seemed to realize something was wrong: “This is not like the barrier of Chikuo, this fog… how does it look a bit like…”
Before he finished speaking, there was something running behind him, and a woman’s laughter came from the fog. The laughter was surprisingly soft and seductive.
Five strange voices shouted: “Seven Desires!”
Lin Chengyou’s face was strange, he pulled Teng Yuyi to his side, took two steps back, dragged her and ran out: “This monster can’t be beaten, hurry up.”
Teng Yuyi followed in confusion : “Do you run without even hitting? No, Senior Brother, didn’t you say that there are no monsters in this world that you can’t hit?”
“That’s why it’s not a score.” Lin Chengyou eloquently said.
Jian Tian and others shouted strangely: “Wuwei, listen to your senior brother, it’s fine if I didn’t bring you out today, if you are there, I can’t fight, think about why this evil thing is called Qiyutian, it likes it the most. Bewitching young men and women—if you don’t want to be bewitched at the same time as your senior brother… just listen to your senior brother.”
Teng Yuyi opened her mouth, listening to this, could it be that the evil thing in the fog is not serious?
At this moment, Duanfu seemed to have hit a wall in the fog. The thing was so strong that it knocked him straight and flew backwards. Fortunately, he had a silver chain on his body, otherwise he would have disappeared into the fog long ago. .
Lin Chengyou shook the silver chain and forcibly pulled Duanfu back. Suddenly, he heard Xi Ye screaming, and apparently he was also bounced back by the wall.
“It’s over, we can’t run away.” Jianle shouted.
