Chapter 93: Far and Careful
"What treasure has been lost in the palace?"
"puff!"
The old god Zhi Ying glanced at the brown-yellow tea dripping from the hem of his clothes, and then glanced at Wang Shi, who still had tea hanging from the corners of his mouth and chin, and said: "You look like this, it's easy for me to have sexual feelings. You know that baby is being
The illusion of a thief’s inside story.”
Wang Shi waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, I am just a waiter in a restaurant, how do I know these palace secrets? It's just hearsay, girl, please don't misunderstand me!"
The tea on the hem of the clothes was almost dripping, and it became white and stain-free again. Only then did Zhiying take a sip of tea comfortably and said with a smile: "I was kidding!"
Suddenly, Ji Li's eyes moved slightly and he said to Wang Shi, "Okay, let's get down!"
Wang Shi carefully glanced at Zhi Ying, who was holding the tea cup with a harmless look on his face. The latter pursed his lips, then showed his teeth, and smiled brightly: "I want a set of banquets made best by your Master Su Yi.
Don’t worry, I will pay.”
Wang Shi nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, then raised his sleeves and wiped his face clean, put the wrinkled white towel on his shoulders, worshiped Zhi Ying and others like the god of plague, and pulled the door bolt.
About to leave.
At this time Ji Li's cold voice sounded: "I think you know what should be said and what should not be said."
"Yes, yes! I understand, I understand!" Wang Shi bowed to several people again and ran away like a rabbit.
Fudan walked to the door and watched Wang Shi running downstairs with oil on his feet. Halfway down the stairs, he almost missed his footing and rolled down the stairs like a ball.
He laughed and said, "Does this guy think of us as savage beasts?"
"Wrong, he regards us as the god of plague!" Zhi Ying corrected him very kindly, and drank the sweet and slightly astringent tea in the cup in one gulp.
She accidentally saw Ji Li standing in front of the window looking downstairs intently, his lips pursed slightly, as if he was attracted by something, while Xian Sang beside him was looking at him with complicated eyes, even though Ji Li continued to look downstairs.
He didn't give her the corner of his eye.
Zhi Ying's heart moved, and she opened another window and looked down.
Banxiju was bustling with people at noon. There were about thirty square tables set up on the ground floor, and they were almost full. Most of them were men, women, and children dressed in ordinary clothes.
The noise they heard when they came in just now came from the table in the southeast corner. There were two young men sitting there, both wearing crimson robes and black armor. Two phoenix-winged helmets were placed on the table.
Now there were four men sitting on the table, and there were two more phoenix-winged helmets on the table, but it became quiet.
Zhiying spread his consciousness, and the deliberately lowered voices of the four people could be clearly heard in his ears.
"...Don't be downcast. We just arrested your cousin now. Your maternal grandfather's family will not be implicated for the time being, let alone the Feng family. You can just be on duty with peace of mind. Don't
Don’t think too much about it!” The tall man with beard by the window patted the shoulder of the man on the right with a big hand.
The man was slapped without paying attention and his left shoulder collapsed. The man looked distressed and angrily and said to the bearded man: "Brother Zhong, you know that Yuan Shen is timid and timid, and he will never have anything to do with that thing."
It has nothing to do with it, not to mention that at that time... he had a stomachache and went back to the veranda to rest, so how could he have time to go to His Majesty's palace?"
Brother Zhong took back his palm and sighed: "Brother Feng Kang, with your explanation like this, Yuan Shen will not be able to escape the word 'death'. He neglected his duties, resulting in theft from the palace, and his majesty was attacked. The dragon's body was almost injured, no matter it was
Any one of these cases will be punishable by death and may even harm your family."
"Brother Zhong..."
What else did Feng Kang want to say? The man opposite him put down his wine glass and persuaded: "Feng Kang, just listen to Brother Zhong. Since Her Royal Highness the Princess has said that there is nothing you can do, there is still nothing you can do about being miserable and complaining here. It's better to do more." After two drinks, you will forget about it. When your majesty gets up tomorrow, he will figure out that this matter has nothing to do with Yuan Shen, so he will let him go!" After saying that, he took Feng Kang's wine glass and poured it for him. Had a cup.
Feng Kang didn't answer, and frowned angrily: "Yuan Shen didn't do that at all, let alone what other accomplices he had! The person who stole the things was a monster. Why don't you believe me?!" He He hammered the table in frustration, and the people around him immediately looked over.
Brother Zhong apologized.
The man opposite Feng Kang sneered, drank the wine he poured for Feng Kang, and then said: "This guy was on duty yesterday, and he's not awake today, right? Where do all the monsters and ghosts come from in this world? It's because you think too much that you have these strange dreams."
Before Feng Kang could refute, the frail man on his right who had been silent until now spoke up: "Maybe... Brother Feng is not dreaming."
"Chen Yu, why are you talking nonsense?" Xu Huan frowned.
Shen Yu looked at the man opposite Feng Kang, and her voice lowered involuntarily, but she became more determined: "Brother Xu Huan, I, I'm not sure if it's a monster or not. But that night, I did see a black shadow coming from the corridor. Flash past, then dodge along the base of the wall, and jump out of the palace wall."
After making his apology, the bearded man asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
From a distance, Zhiying saw Shen Yu shake her head and pick up the wine glass.
Feng Kang seemed to have finally found a like-minded person, and said with some excitement: "Chen Yu, you saw it right. I also saw a dark shadow leaving His Majesty's palace, but Your Majesty..." He became distressed again. .
Brother Zhong persuaded in a sincere tone: "Your Majesty's thoughts are not something we can guess. Brother Feng Kang, I know you are worried about Yuan Shen, but no one can disobey or change His Majesty's will. You'd better take advantage of..."
Before he finished speaking, Feng Kang angrily said: "Although His Majesty is the emperor, he is also an ordinary human being like us who makes mistakes and corrects them. Why can't he..." Feng Kang's eyes suddenly changed. Extremely bright, like the morning star appearing on the horizon at dawn.
He said: "Your Majesty may not listen to what we, your Majesty, say, but there is a person who, even if he is as noble and arbitrary as Your Majesty, has to think carefully before speaking."
Brother Zhong paused and said, "Are you talking about Venerable Wuchen?"
Feng Kang immediately became excited, as if what this so-called "Venerable Wuchen" said was very important: "The one who knows me is Brother Zhong!"
Brother Zhong said: "Venerable Wuchen has always only talked with His Majesty about cultivating the Tao and has not been contaminated by the mortal world. Will he intervene in this matter?"
"How will you know if you don't try it?" Feng Kang poured himself a glass of wine and said.
Xu Huan curled his lips and waved his hands and said: "Come on! Venerable Wuchen lives in seclusion on Jiangxin Island. It is said that there are layers of immortal obstacles on the island, making every step difficult. Where can a mortal like you enter at will? You should Is it your back garden? You can come in anywhere?"
Feng Kang's tone was a little sad, like banana leaves falling from raindrops: "Grandma was so worried about Yuan Shen's affairs that she couldn't afford to fall ill. If Yuan Shen really does anything good, I'm afraid the two old people will also... I'm sure I have to go! If you can’t please, just beg. If you can’t, I will kneel down and die there!”
Xu Huandeng stood up, pointed at him and said: "Hey! You are so stubborn!"
Brother Zhong patted the shoulders of the two of them respectively, pushed them back to their seats, and smiled at Brother Xu: "If you say anything else, he won't marry your girl to you. Sit down, since you have made up your mind to go to Jiangxin
Island, let’s sum it up!”
Next, the four of them discussed how to go to Jiangxin Island to invite Venerable Wuchen to come out of the mountain, and how to save Feng Kang's cousin from prison.
