Chapter 225: No reconsideration of external affairs
Chapter 225: No more thinking about foreign affairs
"You're here too."
"Waiting for you."
He saw her standing at the door, but he didn't expect that he was a step too late. But it was very early, the sky was bright, and there were still a few stubborn stars hanging in the sky, trying to shine brightly on the dark blue sky. But soon,
They would be eclipsed by daylight. The guards beside the woman did not stop them. They just pretended that they could not see them and allowed them to enter the palace gate without showing any evidence.
"Why are you still wearing this curtain hat?" The woman lifted up the black curtain in front of his eyes and looked at his face. "At least it should be replaced. When did the brim of the hat get scratched? There is a small hole in it. It's not pretty enough."
"It's not necessary. It's enough to cover your eyes. Two months ago, I scared a child to tears. It was very troublesome."
The woman burst into laughter. They entered the palace and went straight to the courtyard, where someone was waiting for them. The courtyard was full of orchids, most of them old, with strong roots and strong grip on the soil. There were all kinds of orchids.
The orchids are so colorful that if you pick any one out, it will be worth the money that many people have never seen in their lives.
This is what Xinyue Palace Master likes. Now she seems to be getting older, and her steps are staggering. The rose-red gauze on her head covers her gray hair, but she still stubbornly raises her two corners. Since more than ten years ago,
Internal strife broke out in the twenty-eighth palace. Some people have been sitting for a long time, and their appetite for power is getting bigger and bigger, and they are prone to have some twisted thoughts. Naturally, the emperor can't stand it, and people are not stupid, rather they are very smart. He is here
Only a little manipulation in this system of power caused chaos below. Or in other words, as the king of a country, the effect is naturally very significant. The Xinyue Palace is located in the capital, and it is walking on thin ice under the nose of the emperor. But the emperor likes it
It is because Xinyue Palace is obedient enough, smart enough, and useful enough. It is better to say that other places that were investigated and banned still have a knife of Master Yue.
She stood in front of a bouquet of light purple orchids. The maid reported that someone was coming, and she waved her hand to make everyone leave.
"You're fine." A slightly older voice came from under the rose-red gauze.
"I've met the Grand Master."
"It's a great honor for Yue to have two Masters of Impermanence come to the Han Palace."
"We don't have much time, let's get straight to the point." The man wearing a curtain hat said, "You know why we are here."
"Well... I should have known about it. I found out that since a certain day, I couldn't think of your name, so I expected the current situation. The emperor has been in poor health recently, and he has reached the end of his life. I'm afraid it will be difficult to wait for the new year.
When the emperor ascends the throne, my Heart and Moon Palace will also be uprooted. If you come here any later,
Formation, maybe this place has been connected to the expanded treasury. Fortunately, the emperor is a lover of the Qin, and borrowed your help to pay tribute to the five-stringed Qin, so I will not be charged and thrown into prison, or
I'm just going out. Unfortunately, I didn't say you would bring me any souvenirs or anything..."
"The dagger was originally given to you," the woman said, "but you handed it in on your own. It seems that in order to avoid investigation and to show your attitude, you also wasted a lot of effort."
"I like that red bead..."
The man said calmly: "The magical weapons have been distributed long ago and are controlled by the other six impermanences. The red pearl is in the hands of Lord Maoyue. You can ask her if you have the opportunity."
"Alas, decades have passed and you are still so boring."
"Don't talk like you know me well."
Several people walked around in a big circle, but still didn't get down to business. It was already dawn. They walked onto a bridge, and looking from a distance, they could see two small pavilions. There was nothing on the water except for floating.
A small boat. There used to be large lotus leaves here, but they seemed to have been cleared away. Yue Baizhi stood by the bridge, silently staring at the water and sky.
"We have been doing business with the Southern Kingdom for many years, but it has not been very peaceful recently. The whole court is focused on the seriously ill emperor, and there is not much time to take care of it. Water thieves are rampant, but we can't take care of it. Two days ago, the fourth
Important members of the imperial court were also killed. I'm afraid it won't work if we don't take this matter seriously. If you are impermanent..."
"Liangyue-kun has been ordered to negotiate." The man said, "The prince should get better before he ascends the throne."
"Jun Liangyue..." Yue Baizhi thought for a while, "I always feel like an acquaintance."
The woman said: "You have indeed seen it."
Yue Baizhi nodded. Naturally, she was very well-informed and knew where and who was missing. Now that there is such a Xishu Liangyuejun in the Six Paths of Impermanence, she certainly knows everything.
"If Miss Jun hadn't insisted on staying there... I'm afraid Mr. Liangyue wouldn't have appeared now. Alas, it's a pity that that year, I received a letter from Mr. Kotsutsuki and immediately wrote a letter asking the court to send a ship. But at that time,
They are quarreling again... Some people are not allowed to go. Some really believe in impermanence and cannot trust you; others have money involved.
Only when the interests were high did he not agree. There were also people who tried their best to write letters, and most of them were common people - people with family members in the south who had no news. They submitted the letters to the county government, but they were thrown aside at first. Later, the letters came layer by layer.
The stacks were getting higher and higher, some were burned, and some were pushed to the upper level. They were kicked up layer by layer, and finally they were piled in front of the emperor's case..."
So the imperial court finally sent troops. Many ships sailed safely to the Biluo Islands, where the barrier no longer existed, and to the Nine Heavens Kingdom. They were divided into several routes and batches, and were picked up by different people at different times and places.
A commoner, three Liudao Wichang, and a general. The general thought his daughter had gone back, but she didn't. His daughter stubbornly stayed here. She was seriously injured and bedridden all day long, when the court ship came
When she picked it up, she left a letter and then got out of bed and disappeared. The letter said that she was a madman and would only be a madman for the rest of her life. She would never believe that she would live like a normal person. She closed her eyes and could think of everything
Only the flesh after being chopped repeatedly made it impossible to recognize its previous appearance. She didn't like it, but she couldn't help it. She said she didn't want to hurt anyone - but she couldn't. The most miserable thing in this life is...
Only the adoptive father who gave her her name.
Her companion frantically searched for her the next day, but could not find it. The court's boat had a limited time to stop, and a few days later, he was dragged and dragged onto the boat home by the two Wu Changs.
As for the general, he got his daughter's letter after he came back and fainted immediately. When he woke up, he insisted on going there again, but he was put in jail and said that he... dared to cultivate his own secretly
The situation in the army is a mess. Some people believe it, some don't believe it; some support it, and some oppose it. The general's friend was going to take the exam, so he delayed it and ran around for him, praying to God and Buddha. But his friend did not go to see him.
, because he has no face. To put it bluntly, at first, he supported the general's daughter to come back to him. Now that the general has come back, his daughter has disappeared.
To this day, the general has passed away, but no one has heard anything about his daughter.
Far away... What was Liangyue-kun's previous name? This will only remain an eternal mystery.
Just like this man.
The man was indeed impatient: "Do people like to look back on the past when they get old? We are in a hurry."
"Oh, after all, young people are still impatient." Grand Master Yue looked like he was shaking his head, but he pursed his lips and smiled, "The demon Yama is really ruthless, and he will not tell you the place."
The woman said: "The Lord is willing to tell us the last days and acquiesce in allowing us to do such 'superfluous things'. It is already a mercy. Besides, Kanna-kun's weapons are still in his hands, and he should get them back."
"I've found the place you asked me to check. It's right here..."
The breeze blew by, and the willow trees by the river swayed their branches in the water. The chaotic ripples pushed each other, crushing the reflection of the sky. There was a rustling sound in the grass, and the insects hidden among them made sporadic chirps.
"Let's leave now." The woman bowed her head slightly in greeting, "You should find a good place to go as soon as possible. The emperor's time is short, and the eldest son of the emperor has never dealt with him in private. According to his son's temperament... I'm afraid...
When we liquidate his father's power, I'm afraid Xinyue Palace will bear the brunt. Please be more careful."
"Then I hope he can find me."
She spoke briskly, with a voice that was clearly that of a teenage girl. The wind blew the gauze on her head off, revealing a pair of fox ears.
She waved to them and watched them disappear into the depths of the garden of Xinyue Palace.
After passing through many spiritual veins, the two of them were speechless all the way. They knew each other very well and had nothing to say. The nine states are so big that it is a rare thing for more than two Six Paths of Impermanence to act at the same time. Either event
They are related to each other, or the situation is very serious. However, what they have to do this time is nothing special. Rather, it is some "private matters", which are insignificant compared to their work.
"When you return to this world, it will be October of the next year. There is a big time difference. He also wants to go to the South Country again, but at that time, the court will not allow people who have been there to go again. Otherwise, the general's affairs... will also be left to him
Implicated." Lord Ruyue suddenly spoke.
"I can't find her even if I go there, so I'll just feel sad for nothing. No one could have sustained her injury at that time. It's a miracle that she can endure it for so long." Kanna-kun answered.
There wasn't much sadness in his words, but he wasn't frivolous either. He just looked away, more open-minded than anyone else.
"Well... it's quite fast. The last time I heard about him was more than thirty years ago. Mr. Shuangyue passed by that place on business and saw him. He married a wife. Mr. Shuangyue said, it's not like a flower.
The girl, I guess, must be as beautiful as a flower."
"Um."
They were speechless again.
The day passed like this. They stood on this plain surrounded by mountains and rivers and saw a lonely house, which was dyed golden at dusk. This house was not completely isolated, but it was just too far away from the nameless village. It was
The farthest house in the village
People. This wooden house is located at the highest point of the river's high tide, which is a little higher. If there are no flash floods, it is usually very safe. In fact, there has not been a flood in this place for hundreds of years, and it is said that the flood is the strongest.
, is a small waterfall a hundred miles away from the wooden house.
There was a little girl with sky-high braids catching fish in the water. A submissive boy was standing on the shore. The girl asked her to come down with her. It was obvious that the girl was the elder sister and the boy was the younger brother.
"This house looks like yours."
"Is it similar?" Lord Ruyue tilted his head, "I can't remember clearly."
"I still remember."
The rays are very warm and fall on the water like a burning fire.
"Kid." Kanna-kun called the boy over, "Do you live here?"
The boy took two steps back in fear. The girl immediately ran up from the shallow water, splashing, splashing, and stood in front of the boy with her bare feet on the grass. When she stopped, the braid on her head was still swaying.
"Who are you? You are not from the village."
Lord Ruyue scolded: "You are too cruel."
"Is there any?" He pulled back the curtain.
"I'll do it." Lord Ruyue knelt down and looked into the girl's round eyes, "Girl, where are your parents?"
"My parents went out to make money and came back." The girl said, "My aunt and uncle went to work in the world."
"Let's break into the world!" Although the little boy behind him was a little timid, he agreed at this time.
Kanna-kun muttered, he is so heartless.
Lord Ruyue asked again: "Is this where your grandparents live?"
"Yes. But grandma left last winter, and now it's just us and grandpa."
"We are your grandfather's friends and want to find him. Is he at home?"
"Grandpa is watching the stars under the waterfall..." the boy said timidly, "He is there every night. But when you call him, you have to shout at the top of his lungs, otherwise he will be deaf and can't hear anything."
"Okay, thanks."
After that, Kanna-kun turned around and left, and Kisaragi-kun straightened up and followed behind. The girl still looked curious, poking her head behind and shouting at the top of her lungs: "You haven't said what you want to do yet!"
Along the river, the two people went upstream. The setting sun lay on the top of the mountain, watching them, making their shadows very long. In the distance, they saw a white-haired old man, hunched over, sitting
On the tree stump, his shadow is also very long.
The gurgling water was a warm orange-red color. Kanna-kun stopped some distance away from him, and Kisaragi-kun also stopped. The two of them looked at the body that was as dry as dead leaves in the wind, delicate and waiting for the dark night, and suddenly they felt helpless.
