As the Chongming bird began to cry, the scholar felt that the scene around him began to regress, and his neck, which was bound by an inexplicable force, returned to normal.
He rubbed the sore scholar, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, exhaled it heavily, and then stood up with his hands on the ground, trembling.
There was a dark stain on the gray gown on the back, which was cold sweat.
Looking at the masks scattered on the ground with some fear, the scholar stretched out his fingertips and poked one of them carefully.
The scattered masks were all frozen and condensed on the face when the Chongming birds were chirping, and when the scholar regained his clarity.
Joking, ridiculing, interesting...
He randomly found one and stuffed it into his arms, folded the other masks and put them back into the small box. The scholar stood up and walked towards the door.
boom!
The wooden door was opened, and the scholar's footsteps stagnated, and he turned over, trying to find a place to hide.
"it's me."
The sunlight slanted into the door, illuminating the dust rolling in the air. Hidden in the light was a young man.
"It's you, you scared me to death!" the scholar muttered, clapped his hands, and walked quickly towards Han Qiubin.
"You don't even know what I went through in there!" Pushing aside the equinox, the scholar ran out of the room as if escaping, and closed the door, as if he was locking up some wild beast.
"Talk about it."
"Just now I......."
The two of them walked toward the stairs one after another, talking while talking.
The setting sun cast two long shadows on the corridor.
As he approached the corridor, the shadow on the right side of the ground suddenly shook, and slowly seemed to shrink into a small man holding his hands.
"Um?"
Qiu Equinox paused, turned his head suddenly, and stared at the corridor behind him.
The scholar was talking about what he had just experienced, when he suddenly saw the movement of the Autumnal Equinox, he couldn't help but stop and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
As the body shapes of the two people changed, the two shadows behind them folded on the outer wall of the corridor, without anything out of the ordinary.
"It's okay, let's go." After patting the scholar's shoulder, Qiu Equinox shook his head slightly and ran downstairs.
The scholar who originally wanted to turn around might have been affected by what had just happened, so he did not dare to look back and ran down the corridor following Han Qiufen.
"Wait for me!"
Click, click, click! There was a chaotic sound coming down the stairs.
Ah hey! Ah hey! Woo?
The shadow on the right is still on the outer wall, still the one holding his arms
The little man, this time he made a sound, and his body jumped curiously. The black shadow trembled along with it, and then disappeared in place.
.......
The clouds at dusk were rendered lavender and orange by the golden light, and the entire sky showed gradients of gold and pink.
The sunset is woven by the goddess. This is a legend passed down by common people.
Beautiful things will always be endowed with mystery, this is normal.
Half an hour has passed, and there is still half a quarter before the generals of King Kou will begin to execute the order and attack the city.
This matter is big, but it can also be small.
As the imperial censor of the Kou State, Fu Yan stayed in the convoy at the back and did not come out until he found that the sergeants had begun cutting down trees to make siege tools and the cavalry began to form formations. Feeling that the situation was out of control, he hurriedly pulled up the official robes.
The two rows trotted towards the deposed prince's patrol.
"Your Majesty, the imperial censor of the Kou Kingdom bows to my family and bows to the death for your admonishment."
When he arrived in front of Xantian Push, Fu Yan immediately knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, and said loudly.
"Fu Yan, I want to ask you a question." The deposed prince was sitting on the Xuntian Mountain. He didn't ask Fu Yan to get up. He just straightened up and said gently to Fu Yan with a warm smile.
"I will tell you everything I know!"
"Where is my fief?"
"On my way home, I am in Wubei. Your Majesty has decreed that the whole county of Wubei will be assigned to the Kou Kingdom."
"Where does this Shangqiu City belong?"
"Go home and belong to the Kou Kingdom!"
"The Lord has arrived in person and the city guard has sealed the gates. What's the point?"
"Forehead......."
"He can express his dissatisfaction with Gu, but he is like this..."
The deposed prince raised his hand, and the soldiers who were carrying the ban knelt down and lowered the ban.
The deposed prince walked down Xuntianmen with his hands behind his back, and walked step by step in front of Fu Yan. The attendant Dui Moji also jumped off the Kule horse and followed him closely.
Fu Yan lowered his head and did not get up. He saw the black upper of a soap boot appearing on the ground.
Then the voice of the deposed prince appeared in his ears,
"Isn't he going to rebel?"
...
"Your Excellency, a report has come from outside the city. It is said that the bandit king is coming in person, and he wants us to open the city gate quickly to welcome him."
Mr. Bo, the second-in-command of Shangqiu City, walked quickly into the inner courtyard of the county government office and hurriedly reported to the magistrate above who was drinking tea with his fists in his hands.
I scraped the foam on the surface of the tea soup, took a sip gently, closed the lid at an angle, and put the tea cup down.
The county magistrate does not
He spoke calmly, "Don't worry, what do you think will happen to this useless prince?"
"But after all, this is his territory!"
"Belonging to the earth? Humph! Our sky is like a beam, remember!"
"Then...what do you mean, sir?"
"Since we have taken the things given by the prince, the mother-in-law and the concubine, we have to show it and show him off. It doesn't matter."
The magistrate waved his hand to the maid beside him and ordered, then he picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip carefully.
"Come! Have some tea, and then we'll go out."
"I thank you for your kindness. I will not drink the tea for now. I will go outside the city to pay attention to the situation so that I can report to you at any time!"
The master hugged his hands helplessly and bowed. When he saw that the magistrate did not respond, he turned around and walked out.
The magistrate held the tea cup in his hand and paused for a moment until Zhu Bo's figure disappeared from the inner courtyard. He quickly pushed the tea cup in his hand, stood up immediately, and shouted outside,
"Hurry! Prepare my official clothes quickly. I am going out of the city to greet His Highness the Bandit King in person. Hurry!!!"
The hospital was very busy for a while.
...
"On the autumnal equinox, it wasn't until the cry of birds sounded that I regained my clarity. I felt that the problem must be with the mask here."
The cry of the Chongming bird can dispel evil spirits and drive away ferocious beasts.
The scholar and Qiu Equinox avoided the bustling crowd on the street and talked while talking. At this moment, the scholar had finished telling what had just happened.
The mask came out and was handed to Han Qiufen next to him.
Taking the mask and looking at it, Han Qiubin didn't see anything strange.
"Stop wearing this mask, leave it here."
Qiu Equinox said without any doubt, and then stuffed the mask into his arms.
The scholar was still frightened at this point. When he saw the mask being put away by the Autumn Equinox, he didn't say anything more and just nodded.
The two walked for a while, and the scholar suddenly asked as if he remembered something,
"Didn't anything strange happen to you?"
Han Qiufen turned his head and glanced at him, then shook his head.
The scholar lowered his head in disappointment and walked lazily, kicking the small stones on the road under his feet.
Looking at the scholar's back, Equinox stood there with a smile on his lips,
"Should I tell you,
Did I break through?”
Shaking his head, Qiu Equinox quickly chased the figure in front of him.
