Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 156

[Chapter 121 (1)]

This question caught people off guard, and Teng Yuyi’s lips suddenly seemed to be on fire, and her face flushed instantly.

She puffed out her chest and was about to deny it. Seeing Grandpa’s sad expression, a strange feeling came to her mind again.

Something’s wrong, Grandpa’s tone clearly has the meaning of farewell.

Her face was still hot and her heart was beating, but she couldn’t help looking at Grandpa cautiously: “Grandpa, what’s the matter with you?”

Grandpa lost his temper several times, all of which seemed to be related to Wu Yingying. The last time he mentioned that letter from Nanzhao Kingdom , Grandpa looks like a thousand arrows piercing the heart. It was so unusual tonight, maybe because Grandpa went to see Wu Yingying during the day.

Thinking of this, the anger in her heart swelled up: “Grandpa, why are you going to see Wu Yingying?”

An indescribable humiliation flashed across Teng Shao’s face.

“Do you know where she lives?”

Teng Yuyi felt a chill in her heart, her judgment was right, there was something wrong with the relationship between Grandpa and Wu Yingying, otherwise Grandpa wouldn’t feel ashamed when he heard Wu Yingying’s name.

“How could I not know?” she said coldly, “Huayang Lane in Jinggongfang! I knew it when she first came to Chang’an. She lived in our mansion for half a year, and A-Niang’s illness was caused by her visit. I got it later, does Grandpa think I can forget the appearance and name of this bitch?”

Her sharp eyes were fixed on her father’s face: “Don’t think I don’t know. Grandpa, you asked Cheng Bo to hide her and go back to Beijing. If you hear the news, turn around and go to her! You keep saying that you want me to trust you, but are you worthy of your mother?”

Teng Shao seemed to be stung by the last sentence, and shouted, “Shut up!”

Teng Yuyi gritted his teeth and glared at Teng Shao . Shao, Teng Shao’s eyes were already scarlet.

He closed his eyes and slumped down on the seat behind him, exhausted.

He lowered his head and stared at a certain point in the void. Gradually, his whole body seemed to be seized by painful memories. The emotion of regret was so strong that even Teng Yuyi, a few steps away, could feel it.

Teng Yuyi was spitting up like thorns all over her body, panting slightly.

After being silent for a long time, Teng Shao opened his mouth: “You are a child who is very worried. In the past, Grandpa thought things were wrong. He thought that even if he didn’t talk about some things, he would let them go when you were older, but Grandpa didn’t expect that this lump would not only keep In your heart, the more you twist it. Before this expedition, Grandpa wanted to have a good talk with you, otherwise I’m afraid—”

The sharp thorns in Teng Yuyi’s eyes turned into intense unease, Grandpa’s words What’s the meaning?

“This Wu Yingying’s ancestor is the Wu family in Nanyang, and her grandfather’s name is Wu Zhenxiao.” Teng Shao’s tone was full of desolation.

Teng Yuyi took a few steps and sat down on the couch. Although she had been expecting her grandfather to explain what happened in the past, but at this moment, her chest was filled with ominous feelings.

“Nanyang?”

Back then, my grandfather took his two uncles to resist the Hu rebellion who went south, and Nanyang was the place where he died.

At that time, the empire was already in a desperate situation on the front line of life and death. The battle lasted for half a year. Although the city gate was finally broken, thanks to the resistance of the last half year, the water transportation of grain behind the empire was able to be preserved, which also enabled the empire to successfully recover in the future. The loss of land played a decisive role.

This battle was too tragic and too glorious. In order to capture Nanyang and Suiyang, the enemy army had already cut off the road to transport grain to the city. The grain and grass in the city were in short supply. In order to protect the people in the city, my grandfather ordered them to be sent away in batches through secret passages. , none of them can be withdrawn. The secret passage could have transported some food, but unfortunately it was discovered by the enemy not long after, in order to prevent the enemy from breaking into the city along the secret passage, the secret passage had to be sealed.

After resisting for nearly half a year, when the city was broken, only a few hundred soldiers were left.

The city was deserted, and every household was empty. The food, grass and horses had long been eaten. In order to satisfy their hunger, my grandfather and a few soldiers fed on bark and hay all day long. When they were captured, only a skeleton was left. .

The rebels were deeply shocked by this scene. They did not expect that this iron city, which was unprecedentedly difficult to attack and difficult to beat, was actually defended in such a tragic situation.

When Hu Rei ordered his grandfather and uncle to be beheaded at the head of the city, the murderous rebel soldiers and soldiers showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

They shouted “hero” in unison, and respectfully kowtowed to their grandfather and uncle a few times before starting.

After the battle, grandfather Teng Yuanhao became the most famous hero in the world.

The late emperor thanked his grandfather for Kuang Yi’s deeds and gave him a special gift.

The grandfather was given the posthumous title of ‘loyal and brave’, and his grandfather’s portrait and life stories were listed in Lingyan Pavilion. The two uncles were also posthumously named the second-rank generals of the country, which is the supreme honor only enjoyed by the founding of the country.

“In that battle, Wu Zhenxiao, Wu Yingying’s grandfather, was one of the generals defending the city.” Teng Shao’s solemn words shook the air in the room, “Wu Zhenxiao has followed your grandfather for many years, and he can be called daring and loyal. He rescued him as early as the Battle of Nanyang. Once you passed your grandfather, the enemy used a dark arrow to plot against your grandfather. It was Wu Zhenxiao who tried his best to block the arrow. Although he was lucky to survive, he was also blind in his left eye. Although his left eye is blind, he is still unstoppable when he goes into battle to kill the enemy. He is both your grandfather’s subordinate and your grandfather’s savior.”

Teng Yuyi listened with a frown.

“In the battle of Nanyang a few years later, Wu Zhenxiao followed your grandfather to fight the enemy to the death. On the verge of breaking the city, grandfather had no other choice. He heard that a large number of reinforcements arrived in Linhuai, and immediately sent Wu Zhenxiao to lead 30 elite cavalry out of the city. The technique is out of the ordinary, and while the enemy troops outside the city are resting at night, there is hope to break through the encirclement. Wu Zhenxiao finally lived up to your grandfather’s entrustment. Huai, what Wu Zhenxiao never expected was that the general sent by the imperial court to Linhuai was Qin Fengcun. This person has been at odds with your grandfather for a long time, and he didn’t want to see your grandfather make great achievements, and the rebels were entrenched around , he was worried that he would send reinforcements and the rebels would turn around and attack Linhuai, no matter how Wu Zhenxiao persuaded him, he refused to send troops.”

Teng Yuyi was agitated, she had also heard of this past, and the court held accountable afterwards, and the first one was executed. It was Qin Fengcun.

“Wu Zhenxiao was like an explosive charcoal. He overturned the banquet table where Qin Fengcun was entertaining him on the spot. He scolded him repeatedly, and went out of the tent in a hurry. Nanyang won’t last long. The famous cavalry returned to Nanyang overnight, but unexpectedly Qin Fengchun was afraid that Wu Zhenxiao would report the matter to the imperial court, so he sent a cavalry army to hunt down Wu Zhenxiao and his party. Wu Zhenxiao was injured by an arrow, and in order to avoid the pursuit, he accidentally fell into the nearby In the valley, when he woke up and found himself lying on a calf, the people who rescued him came from Linhuai. They told Wu Zhenxiao that Nanyang was broken and General Teng was killed in battle. They were afraid that Linhuai would not be able to keep it, so they prepared Take refuge in the south.

” Wu Zhenxiao cried bitterly. He was not only saddened by the death of your grandfather and uncle, but also hated that the imperial court made a mistake in sending Qin Fengcun to come to support him. He was full of grief and anger and had nowhere to vent, and vowed never to return to the imperial court’s military camp in his life. Wu Zhenxiao took a singer as his concubine in Qiao County in the first few years, and the concubine gave him a son. The child was in his teens at the time and his name was Wu Ziqi. After Wu Zhenxiao was healed, he returned to Qiao County to pick up the concubine and the child. After that, he only glanced at Nanyang City from a distance, and took the concubine and his son to the south with the refugees. He never returned to Nanyang in his life. Wu Zhenxiao’s body was injured too badly, and after days of turbulence, his body collapsed all of a sudden, and he passed away after a few years…”

Teng Yuyi was greatly shocked, his father’s eyes were deep, and he was obviously sad for this thrilling past. ”

Wu Zhenxiao left a savings after his death, and the concubine took this savings to live with his son. After a few years, Wu Zhenxiao’s son, Wu Ziqi, got married, and the child born was Wu Yingying. Teng Yuyi ‘s

eyes trembled. Wu Yingying suddenly came to join her grandfather back then. It seems that she was relying on her grandfather Wu Zhenxiao’s loyalty to the Teng family.

Guo heard her father say: “When Wu Yingying grew up, she was arrested by a nearly sixty-year-old man in the city.” The noble gentleman saw that Wu Ziqi was seriously ill and hated himself for being unable to protect his daughter. Hearing that I was passing by in the army, I desperately asked an old loyal servant named Wu Si to send Wu Yingying to my tent. I couldn’t bear the fate of the offspring of heroes to be mistreated, so I had to take in Wu Yingying. ”

Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth, and when Wu Yingying came, everything changed. She said coldly: “There is a way to repay your kindness, why don’t you give Wu Yingying money and silk? Why don’t you find a good family to send her away? Before Wu Yingying came, A-Niang was still in good health! Not long after she came, A-Niang was in good health. It collapsed. You brought Wu Yingying to the house, but did you think that this was bringing a wolf into the room? A-Niang believes in you so much, why do you want to hurt A-Niang’s heart?”

Teng Shao’s forehead jumped: “Because Grandpa has a clear conscience!”

Teng Yuyi was full of hatred, and her voice suddenly rose: “If Grandpa has a clear conscience, why did you keep silent about Wu Yingying’s affairs?! If my mother wasn’t

extremely sad, how could she be ill from now on?” Said: “Do you think Grandpa doesn’t want to know?”

Teng Yuyi’s eyes condensed with tears. Grandpa doesn’t know?

Oh…it’s impossible!

The pain on Teng Shao’s face was no less than that of his daughter: “After Wu Yingying was sent, the first thing my grandfather did was to have Wu Yingying’s identity verified. I will write a letter to your aunt, tell your mother about the Wu family and Teng family, and ask your aunt to help Wu Yingying find a suitable marriage. At the same time, they will immediately go to Wu Ziqi to help him seek medical treatment. ” In

order not to provoke rumors, your aunt said that Wu Yingying is my cousin. When Grandpa returns home, it will be two months later. Wu Ziqi had passed away, and Wu Yingying had only that old slave named Wu Si by her side. Your aunt told me that for the past two months, she has been looking for a noble man among the relatives of the Wang and Teng families, but it seems that Wu Yingying does not really want to marry. ”

Speaking of this, Teng Shao paused. He heard about this, and immediately called Wu Si to his side. For Wu Zhenxiao’s kindness to the Teng family back then, the Teng family could let Wu Yingying cook gold and jade for a lifetime, but she was neither the Teng family. She is not a relative of the Wang family, so if she stays for a long time, rumors will inevitably arise.

I heard that Wu Yingying is 17 years old. Instead of relying on others, it is better to find a favorite marriage and get married immediately, and the Teng family can come forward and help with all this. manage.

Teng Shao never expected that Wu Si rejected him face to face, saying that the lady had an idea since she was a child, and she would not marry if she was not a prince or general. He also said that if General Teng could not help the lady to fulfill her wish, she would rather become a nun.

Prince General? Isn’t this fantastic?

Teng Shao categorically said that he couldn’t do it, and then he thought of one person and changed his mind: “Let’s try it for now.”

He waved Wu Si back and went to the backyard to find his wife to discuss the matter.

His wife looked at him meaningfully and said with a smile, “I know what she is thinking, she is giving you a problem.”

Wu family members withered, Wu Zhenxiao has only this bloodline left in the world, and this child came to Teng from nowhere. Home, once the end of the family is a nun, the world will only say that the Teng family is ruthless.

So no matter how difficult it is, Teng Shao has to fight for Wu Yingying.

“No matter how expensive she asks for money, you can satisfy her, but you can’t do anything about this kind of high-level marriage. If you can’t do it one day, she can stay at our house for one day.” His wife teased him.

Teng Shao removed the stove under the quilt and wrapped his wife’s cold feet with his warm and dry palms.

“I don’t care what she thinks.” He said coldly, “If she was not a descendant of General Wu, I would have sent her to a nunnery. Don’t worry, I have a way. When the Zhao Kingdom jointly attacked Tubo, I met the King of Xinchang of Nanzhao Kingdom. This man was not married yet, and he was not a bad person. He was very longing for the breadth of the Central Plains culture. He said long ago that he would marry a Central Plains woman. Wang is a veritable ‘Prince and General’, so I might as well connect him with Wu Yingying, General Wu has been loyal all his life, and can find a good home for his descendants, I can also be regarded as an explanation to my grandfather.”

His wife snorted . With a laugh, he put his face close to him: “I underestimate you, you can think of such a good way.”

Teng Shao held his wife tightly in his arms.

In the past year, my wife has always been preoccupied with her thoughts. She went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense every three or five days, and she often had trouble sleeping at night. To this end, he made a special trip to invite a medical sage to help his wife recuperate her body, but her body was still not in good condition. Thinking about it, his eyebrows twisted into a deep Sichuan shape.

After negotiating with his wife, Teng Shao began to plan the matter. They made a painting for Wu Yingying and sent it to Nanzhao. At the same time, they presented the genealogy of the Wu family, and told the king of Xinchang that Wu Yingying’s ancestor was the Wu family of Nanyang, and her grandfather Wu Zhenxiao was a loyal general.

King Xinchang fell in love with Wu Yingying’s portrait at first sight.

It didn’t take long for his wife to become pregnant, and her health was worse than before. She always had nightmares at night. Yu’er was just the age to find a mother. Teng Shao was afraid that her daughter would quarrel with her mother during the day, so he spent most of the time in the inner courtyard with his wife. .

A few months later, news came from the imperial court that Tubo had entered the Kouhelong area, and the imperial court wanted to urgently dispatch the navy to help. Teng Shao was worried about his wife and daughter, but he couldn’t resist the order. After discussing the military situation, Wu Yingying came back from outside the hospital that day. ask to see.

Teng Shao didn’t want to pay attention to it at first, but Wu Yingying said that what she was going to say was related to the first battle in Nanyang more than 20 years ago, and it was about the glory of the Teng family, so she had to tell Teng Shao face to face.

Teng Shao secretly felt weird, so he invited Wu Yingying to the study.

Then, from Wu Yingying’s mouth, he heard a secret that broke his heart and soul.

This secret was told to the concubine by Wu Zhenxiao once when he was drunk, and the concubine told the secret to his son again.

Teng Shao’s first thought was to refuse to believe it, but the things Wu Yingying said can only be told by those who have experienced the battlefield. No one except Wu Zhenxiao could make up such a story.

In the battle of Nanyang that year, the soldiers in the city were already dead, and the only people in the world who knew this secret were the Wu family.

These remarks made Teng Shao lose his mind on the spot. Wu Yingying seemed to see his face changed suddenly, and promised herself that she would not tell others this secret, and also said that in order to thank General Teng for finding a good marriage for her, when General Teng set off on an expedition Before, I would like to send him off with a song.

Coincidentally, Yu’er came to the study to look for her grandfather and came across this scene. Teng Shao heard the sound of his daughter’s footsteps running away, so he suddenly pulled his thoughts out of his daze.

He looked at Wu Yingying coldly, no matter whether it was true or not, Wu Yingying didn’t say it sooner or later, but she told this secret before she got married, obviously because she didn’t want to marry Nanzhao, and wanted to use this secret to threaten him.

He said coldly, “No one believes your statement. If you don’t want to marry the King of Xinchang, you can tell Teng directly. You don’t have to make up such appalling nonsense.

” Very satisfied with this marriage.

Teng Shao was so distraught that he ordered Wu Yingying to be sent to a newly built mansion to be married. When King Xinchang came to marry her, she was not allowed to step into the mansion for half a step.

How could I know that my wife suddenly slipped tires after two days, and her mood plummeted.

I remember when he heard the news and rushed back to the room, the aroma of “rainy eaves and flowers falling” wafted all over the room.

After that, no matter how Teng Shao relieved his wife, his wife was always unhappy, no bright smile was seen on his face, and there was only abyss of despair in his eyes.

Teng Shao was in a lot of pain in his heart. He suspected that his wife had misunderstood him after listening to Yu’er’s words. He hurriedly told his wife what happened that day, and only kept the terrifying secret of the Battle of Nanyang.

The wife only gently stroked his face and said that she was willing to believe him.

He said this, but his wife became colder and colder to him day by day, not letting him accompany her by the bed or listening to him. As soon as he got close, his wife closed her eyes and turned her face to the inside of the bed. I just often hold Yu’er in my arms and cry silently at every turn.

All kinds of performances seem to be extremely disappointed in him.

Teng Shao was sore and sore. He and his wife had been married for five years. He didn’t even trust her at all. Instead of torturing her body like this, she might as well gouge out his flesh with a sharp knife.

Teng Shao was so worried that he sent someone from Chang’an overnight to invite the most skilled medical workers to diagnose and treat his wife.

It didn’t take long for King Xinchang to lead the guard of honor of Nanzhao to marry him, and his wife finally showed a smile, saying that although King Xinchang was only a prince of Nanzhao, it was related to the diplomacy between the two countries. So she can send Wu Yingying to marry in person, and let him go to marry him with peace of mind. When he comes back, she will cut summer clothes for him by herself.

But when Teng Shao came back, what he saw was the cold body of his wife.

Teng Shao was immersed in memories, his eyes were full of red bloodshots: “All these years, Grandpa has always wondered, did he do something wrong? Maybe Grandpa should not agree to Wu Ziqi’s entrustment in order to repay his kindness, but after Wu Yingying arrived at the mansion, she In order to marry Wu Yingying as soon as possible, the grandfather dispatched all the powers in the court that could influence King Xinchang, and all the arrangements after that were discussed with your mother in advance

. The illness was caused by the suspicion that Grandpa had an affair with Wu Yingying. Why don’t you ask your grandma why she would rather trust an outsider than her husband? ! Teng Shao ‘s

voice was full of sarcasm.

Teng Yuyi was already in tears, and shook his head with a trembling voice: “You are talking nonsense, A-Niang trusts Grandpa like that, so she won’t be suspicious of you casually. Grandpa must have done too much to make Grandma hurt. Teng Shao ‘s

scarlet eyes stared at his daughter. After a

while, he stood up staggeringly and sadly: “Your mother is a very transparent person. After getting married, she and I are like glue paint, if she is not right My grandfather had a deep misunderstanding, how could he be so indifferent to grandpa, but no matter how I explained it, your grandma would not believe me. Husband and wife should be of the same mind, but your aunt turned against me because of an outsider. Do you think you’re the only one who cares about you? Grandpa wants to know more than you what your grandma thought back then! ! ”

Teng Yuyi’s breath was trembling, and she felt sad and angry in her heart: “You are not allowed to say that, mother-in-law!” Wu Yingying told grandpa the secret of the battle of Nanyang, grandpa, didn’t you tell grandma? You must be hiding it from A-Niang, and A-Niang will be brooding about it! ”

Teng Shao seemed to have been punched, and slumped back to the table: “This matter is just a one-sided remark by that Wu Yingying, how can I tell it to you as a fact? , Grandpa looked everywhere for the soldiers who survived the First World War in Nanyang, but no one knew more than the Wu family. Grandpa managed to piece together the clues. Today, I went to Huayang Lane to find Wu Yingying, just to ask her for evidence One last thing.”

That humiliating look appeared on Teng Shao’s face again, he closed his eyes, but his voice trembled uncontrollably: “Until today, grandpa didn’t realize that your grandma was not at all. It’s because of Wu Yingying’s illness, but because of the secret of the Teng family, Grandpa and I—almost took the pains of your grandmother.”

An ominous premonition rushed over Teng Yuyi’s back, and she stared at Ahn without blinking. Master, he further said, “So—what is that?”

Teng Shao opened his eyes and looked at his daughter. This time, his expression was extremely gentle, as if he wanted to take a good look at his daughter in place of his wife who died early.

“Mother Hui would be so happy if she saw what you look like now. Before you know it… our Yu’er has grown so big.”

“Grandpa!” Teng Yuyi snapped.

Her heart was already a mess: “What happened in the Nanyang Battle?! Why do you say that A-Niang’s death is also related to this?”

Teng Shao’s eyebrows trembled. Someone has to pay the price, and that person should be him.

“You just need to remember that this matter has nothing to do with you.” Teng Shao’s lips were white, and he waved his hands extremely tiredly, “Everything is up to Grandpa, no evil will come to you in the future, and also, Grandpa doesn’t I’m sorry for your aunt, you can let go of your heart and get along with him happily when you see him. Everything that should be said has been made clear, go back, grandpa is tired too.”

“Grandpa!!!

But Teng Shao got up and strode to the door, opened the door and said loudly: “Uncle Cheng, send the lady back to the inner courtyard. Are Lu Yan and the others here ?

”

“Tell them to come in.” In a blink of an eye, Teng Shao regained his previous determined look.

Teng Yuyi glared at Grandpa’s back. She knew that tonight, don’t try to pry a word out of Grandpa’s mouth. She heard faint voices coming from outside. No matter how uneasy or reluctant she was, she could only Step by step to leave the study.

***

Qing Xuzi personally held the candlestick and lit a spot on the paper.

“Look, if the wrong hook was cast before Teng Shao was born, then Teng Shao should not have lived to adulthood, but not only did he live safely to the age of thirty-eight, but he also made great achievements many times. The person who hated Teng Shao. That person cast a wrong hook spell on Teng Shao’s children out of hatred, so Mrs. Teng was very good-looking, but she was born with a very fierce fate. If no one helped her By his fate, he would never live to be sixteen years old.

“Today I heard that Teng Shao also died in a so-called previous life, so the master took the initiative to change his inference, what if that person hated Teng Yuanhao? Teng Shao was four years old when Teng Yuanhao died for his country. His father and brother went to the battlefield, and Teng Shao stayed at home because he was too young.

“If someone casts a curse on Teng Yuanhao’s descendants when he dies, Mrs. Teng’s bloodline of the Teng family will inevitably be doomed, but Teng Shao was four years old at the time, and the curse that fell on him was not that serious, so He could grow up, but because of the influence of the wrong hooking spell, he died in the end.”

Lin Chengyou thought and continued: “And the time to cast the spell must be between the time Teng Shao was born and the age of four. If the spell was cast before he was born, Then Teng Shao will not live to be sixteen years old, and after the age of four, his father has already died, so that person cannot cast the wrong hook on the dead man.”

According to this time, it is inferred that the last time Teng Yuanhao was cursed was Nanyang. During the battle.

Lin Chengyou frowned, but it was a brilliant battle to defend the city. After this battle, Teng Yuanhao became a famous general.

Whether it was an enemy soldier or a general of one’s own side, it was impossible to hate Teng Yuanhao for casting the wrong spell. After all, swords had no eyes on the battlefield, and victory or defeat was a common thing in military affairs.

This curse is so cruel that the person who cast the curse will not only lose his soul on the spot, but also cannot be reincarnated for eternity.

As for the people in the city, I heard that Teng Yuanhao sent them out of the city using a secret channel.

The common people should only be grateful to Teng Yuanhao, and there can be no hatred.

So what’s going on here…

Qing Xuzi seemed to be at a loss: “This thing is too weird. Let’s not talk about who Teng Yuanhao has offended. Everyone has six reincarnations, but Lady Teng has the same two reincarnations. It can be seen that as long as someone helps her to borrow her life, she will be born again. The master guessed that what Teng Yuanhao did must be angry and resentful, and there may even be more than one person who cursed him, otherwise he would not provoke such a strong curse. Do something extraordinary.”

Lin Chengyou thought anxiously, how could Teng Yuanhao be such a strong old hero because he was so strong.

“Didn’t Li Sanniang have the same two lives, what do you mean by that?”

“Li Sanniang died of an epidemic in the previous life, but today Shigong doesn’t look like a short-lived person, and Shigong guessed that she borrowed Teng Niangzi’s birth date for herself. She made a lot of money, which brought disaster. The wrong hook spell that fell on Lady Teng was no small matter. As long as Li Sanniang made a wish in the name of Lady Teng in front of the Buddha, her grievances would also be stained on her, so she clearly had a longevity in her previous life. , but died of contracting the epidemic. I heard that she often went to Madam Teng’s house, and maybe she stole something from Madam Teng. You might as well interrogate her more carefully about this matter.”

Lin Chengyou was upset: “Looking at it like this, we need to resolve it. The disaster that happened to Teng Yuyi can’t be done just by taking his life?”

Qingxuzi stroked his beard: “Don’t worry, you have to be the person to untie the bell. You have to figure out what happened to the Teng family back then before we can figure out how to deal with it. The plan. General Teng probably had some misery. After all, he was only four years old at the time. The expedition is imminent, you and General Teng should walk with you, and find a suitable opportunity to ask what you need to ask. Even if General Teng is for the safety of his daughter, I won’t refuse to say it.”

Lin Chengyou suddenly remembered that Wu Qi said that as early as a month ago, Haoyue Sanren had said that there would be a catastrophe in Chang’an. Saw what.

There have been so many silhouettes in Chang’an recently, maybe this has something to do with the disaster in Teng Yuyi’s destiny.

He had planned to help Teng Yuyi find the pair of Buyao before the expedition, so why not take the opportunity to carefully search the underground palace of Yuzhen Nuguanguan. There may be some unexpected gains.

“It’s getting late, you should go to bed first, you will be busy tomorrow, and the disciples and grandsons will also go back to the residence to rest.”

He hurried out of the palace.

***The

next day, Lin Chengyou was busy all day, and did not find time until evening to go to the Jade Zhen Nu Guan Guan.

After the Haoyue Sanren subdued the law, the imperial court specially sent a large number of guards to guard here, and no one was allowed to enter unless there was a sage’s hand instructing.

Lin Chengyou nodded at the guard at the door, and stepped into the gate with one foot.

After entering the observation, he did not go to the other side, but went directly to the underground palace. The last time he and Teng Yuyi met Naizhong was in the main hall on the first floor, but the underground palace had three floors, and the layout was like three interlaced “chessboards”. Go, it will immediately cause the dislocation of the chessboard. Although the officials of Dali Temple only went down to the underground palace to search once, it was impossible for Teng Yuyi to move in the same position as last time.

Fortunately, this underground palace is ever-changing, and the angle of each change of the “chessboard” is also constant.

Lin Chengyou made a silent calculation in the dark, and with a sigh, he lit the glass lamp in his hand with a fire stick.

***

Teng Yuyi didn’t see Grandpa all day. Thinking of the conversation with Grandpa last night, she felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in her chest. When I think of my mother, my heart is full of sadness.

On this day, she was shrouded in an uneasy cloud, ran to the front yard countless times, and fluttered countless times.

I waited until the evening, but I couldn’t block my grandfather. Cheng Bo came in and told her that Grandpa went to Xiying and was about to set off for an expedition that night. Teng Yuyi felt like she was poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, and her heart was completely cold.

Going out to look for grandpa at this time will only reveal the whereabouts of grandpa.

After thinking about it, she could only wait.

After waiting for a while, the night was getting darker and darker, the bright moon hung high on the treetops, summer insects were chirping, Teng Yuyi leaned against the lantern and used a small fan to draw wind to herself, but no matter how cool the wind was, it couldn’t calm the anxiety in her heart. .

Fanning for a while, Teng Yuyi threw the fan to Chunrong behind her, took out the Xiaoya sword, played swordsmanship in the yard, and practiced a few sets. Later, I thought that my heart would be somewhat calmer, but I didn’t expect that a heart would still be chaotic.

Teng Yuyi stood in the corridor and took a deep breath: “Biluo, bring me a few pots of Shijingchunlai. It’s been a long time since I drank. I want to have a drink tonight.”

Biluo and Chunrong said quickly, “Miss, you are right in your heart . Don’t worry, be careful to get drunk quickly when you drink this time.”

“Stop talking, go and make some hot wine.” The

second maid had no choice but to put some side dishes on the stone table in the yard, and then serve it with a pot of wine.

Teng Yuyi pulled out the lid of the pot, raised his neck and drank all the wine in the pot.

Chunrong and Biluo persuaded: “Ma’am, no matter how good the amount of alcohol is, you can’t stand drinking like this. Be careful when you wake up tomorrow morning and have a headache.”

Teng Yuyi put the empty wine bottle on the table by herself: “Go, heat another bottle. .”

After drinking one pot and another pot, Teng Yuyi gradually felt like a fairy, and all the heavy thoughts that had been accumulated in his mind disappeared.

I don’t know how long it took, I vaguely heard someone shouting: “Oh, it scared me to death, that’s a black panther!”

“Sir, you can’t come in, the lady is drunk—”

It was already midnight when Lin Chengyou arrived at the Teng Mansion, so it was not appropriate to come to Teng Yuyi so late, but the Shence Army was going to leave the camp tomorrow, and he would have to go back to the palace tonight. Teng Yuyi said, so as soon as Cheng Bo came out to greet him, he said straight to the point: “Cheng Bo, I have something important to tell your wife in person. Please come out immediately.”

Cheng Bo glanced at the little boy at Lin Chengyou’s feet. Black Panther, nodded in agreement.

It didn’t take long for Cheng Bo to come out alone: “Sir, why don’t you come back tomorrow morning, the lady is drunk.”

Lin Chengyou was in a mess, and he frowned when he heard the words. Teng Yuyi was so good at drinking, why was he suddenly drunk. Looking at Junnu at his feet, he stepped out of the middle hall: “I’ll go in and find her, there is something I need to give to your wife in person. It won’t take too long, just say a few words to her and leave.”

Cheng Bo I am anxious, how can this be done, that is the inner courtyard, the lady and the prince are familiar with each other, after all, there are differences between men and women.

“It’s absolutely impossible, Shizi, you give the thing to the villain, and let the villain hand it over to the lady.”

Lin Chengyou waved his hand in front: “It’s fine on weekdays, this thing has to be handed over to your lady, and I also You have to explain something to her face to face, Uncle Cheng, don’t you think that your wife accidentally made some taboos while I was not in Chang’an.”

Uncle Cheng was stunned.

After a stunned time, Lin Chengyou had already left.

In this way, they rushed to Tan Shangyue, and before they had time to go in and report, the little maids at the door were startled and screamed by the little black panther at Lin Chengyou’s feet.

“Sister Biluo, Sister Chunrong, there is a black leopard at the gate of the courtyard.”

Cheng Bo scolded the little maids, and took a few steps to stop Lin Chengyou: “Sir, stop for a while, the villain goes in and informs the lady.”

Lin Chengyou cleared his throat, Blame him, and hurriedly reminded Teng Yuyi. He didn’t pay attention to these etiquette for a while, and stopped walking with his hands behind his back. Uncle Chong smiled apologetically: “I was too rash. Please tell Uncle Cheng, I’ll just wait for her here.”

Unexpectedly, the movement at the door had already spread inside.

A man was sitting crookedly at the stone table in the courtyard, when he suddenly saw the tall figure outside, he first blinked, then rubbed his eyes, put down his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly pushed away Biluo and Chunrong’s. Arm: “Lin Chengyou, you’re here.”

Although Lin Chengyou stood outside the door, he didn’t look in at all. He couldn’t help turning his head when he heard the voice, but saw Teng Yuyi sitting under the tree.

“Come here, come quickly.” Teng Yuyi smiled and waved at him.

“Miss!” Cheng Bo and Chunrong Biluo suddenly felt inappropriate, and in order to dissuade the lady, they hurriedly surrounded her.

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi was so powerful after drinking that he waved his hand to push the second maid away. Cheng Bo is a man after all, so it’s not easy to lean too forward. Teng Yuyi slapped the stone table and stood up staggeringly on the table: “Go away, I want to see Lin Chengyou…you, come in, what are you doing standing there?”

Lin Chengyou could already see that Teng Yuyi was very drunk, hearing her call him that, he couldn’t help walking towards her.

“Why are you so drunk?” He was a little funny, looking at the hibiscus jade face dyed with red glow, his eyes couldn’t move for a while, it turned out that Teng Yuyi looked so naive when he was drunk.

Teng Yuyi smiled and waved at him, “Come here, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”

Lin Chengyou had to walk over to her, and when he got close, before he could speak, Teng Yuyi grabbed his arm and stood in front of her. In front of the man in the courtyard, he dragged him a few steps, and then staggered and pointed to the porch in front of him: “…I want to…go up, but my legs and feet are not obeying orders. You came just right, lend me some light work. ”

Miss!” This time, not only Cheng Bo, but Duan Fu also rushed over to stop him.

Lin Chengyou pulled out his arm, turned his head and said to Cheng Bo, “I didn’t expect her to be so drunk, so I’ll take time for a visit tomorrow morning, and you can help her into the room.”

Turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi’s hands were entangled again, hugging Lin Chengyou’s arm like a radish without letting go: “I… have something to tell him, don’t bother me, if you talk more, I’ll cry for you to see. Duanfu, you go away you go
