laughing soul

"Bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles! How can I keep thinking about one person in a hundred miles! Don't worry, just listen to my servant's detailed explanation——"

On the simple stage of a small shed, there is an actor performing a song and dance. Danfeng Gu Pan's bright eyes and cherry lips make her look more and more frowning, her face is red and her cheeks are peach blossoms. Which one is more beautiful than flowers?

The beauty raised her fingertips and crushed the petals to make the fragrance disappear. As the warm spring breeze rushed towards her face, she stretched out her tongue to lick the flower juice in her hands. A song-"

No one answered her.

Only yellow sand.

The cold wind blowing on the face can't sweep away the true youth of the peaches and plums in March, but it just vents the coldness of the lingering winter everywhere, making the bones ache from the cold.

"Soaring mountains, luxuriant forests and bamboos, have you ever envied the sky high and the emperor is far away - leisurely - holding a flower hairpin, the bright moon turning into twin bells beside your ears, and lighting up the lanterns for the Lantern Festival - where can I see my lover?" , the words could not be read anymore, that flowery and charming face suddenly twisted into a ball, and after another three moments, the heartache and pain were not suppressed for half a minute, but the beautiful facial features were suddenly pulled and deformed, But seeing a mouthful of turbid blood gushing out from the petal-like lips, it was dyed together with the bright red blood-colored costume, and it was impossible to tell which was real and which was fake.

"Lamp bearer—it's a time of joy...don't forget, don't forget the oath of the previous life...the forbidden sword is hitting the other side! Who has the time to escape!

"Looking for the deserted and deserted, only the miserable and miserable... May I ask where in the world is the place where the old age is left? The pear blossoms are all over the ground, but the door is not opened... I vowed to each other, waiting for someone... Where can I go in the sea? beg..."

The blood-stained costume is only for the people in the play to shed her true tears.

Before the end of the song, she didn't know what to do. The beauty slumped to the ground, her head full of flower hairpins pierced into her flesh, and the flowers were white and white. I don't know where the fine powder came from. Struggling to try again, it was futile.

"A loyal person is nothing more than a cheap bone... Who... cherishes——"

Do not look down.

Who knew that winter in the south can be so cold.

"There are some small countries in the northwest that are dishonest and have frequent changes. Fortunately, they are not big turmoil that deserves distraction. There is no need to worry about it here... but the Guijue country, which owed a lot of debts, is a bit strange. The court I owe them a whole lot of debt to exchange paper notes, this debt has been delayed and delayed, and now it has been more than two years, and there is no movement at all, it is really abnormal."

Qiu Sheng took a letter on sea-patterned paper from He Lingyu, turned around and opened a heavy wooden chair for her, briefly scanned the contents of the letter and put it aside for now: "When Wang Deng comes back, talk slowly, you How did you hurt your arm?"

Her thin body looked so frail, and three or four thick snow-white bandages were tied on her left arm, which made her pale complexion even more frighteningly white, and her lips were almost bloodless.

"There are some mistakes in the red blood. I took the remaining materials from the Northwest Army camp and tried to improve it. I am afraid that the recipe I listed was even more flawed. I didn't ignite it, but I blew it up without authorization... "He Lingyu shook his arms and raised his arms, and said with a black face, "Here, it's just such a ghost."

With her arms outstretched, Wang Deng packed up the new white cloth and ointment and was in a hurry. He squeezed Qiu Sheng aside, and carefully held He Lingyu's seriously injured arm. He moved lightly and put on airs. Called up Lord Long Live: "Master Qiu, help pass a clean handkerchief."

Qiu Sheng: "..."

He Lingyu held back his smile and stretched out his right arm to pull him: "General."

Wang Deng seemed to have just realized that the person standing in front of him was the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Long Live himself. He turned his head and met Qiu Sheng's slightly dazed gaze. He touched the tip of his nose in embarrassment, but he forgot that his hands were full of The bitter herbal medicine for He Lingyu to heal his wounds, his face was covered with such a touch, and he just stared at Qiu Sheng in a daze, as if he didn't know what to do.

He Lingyu stretched out that peaceful arm, and tugged at the corner of Wang Deng's clothes dumbfoundedly. He muttered for a long time, not knowing what to say, with a face full of little daughter-in-law who didn't know what to do after his stupid husband offended the president. Son.

These two faces grinned in front of Qiu Sheng, choked by the Long Live Lord, and Wang Deng looked at each other for a while, sighed as if resigned to fate, turned back and pulled a piece of white cloth placed on the small table to the side One stop: "Just do it, this silly girl can be regarded as a work-related injury, I should take care of it." Reach out and pull Wang Deng, who is covered in herbal ointment, to the side: "Clean up and wipe it like a big lion's head. Who are you trying to scare?"

Wang Deng was so stupid that he was caught by his collar without any defense.

Qiu Sheng snatched the medicine bowl in his hand, half pushed and half swayed General Wang away from work, and before leaving, he did not forget to add a sentence: "Your Miss He will leave it to me. Here comes the porridge...Wash the pot first, so as not to leave a bitter taste."

Shun Shun took him away, Qiu Sheng turned around and folded his arms at He Lingyu with a smile on his face and said: "Tell me, girl, what's the situation?"

He Lingyu looked at himself standing on the head, joking and laughing, leaned crookedly on the bedpost by his side, grabbed her arm and narrowed his eyes to change the medicine, he was speechless for a while, and hesitated for a long time .

"Station Master, I... hiss!"

The flesh on the arm that was entangled with the gauze was torn apart by the bloody forest. He Lingyu couldn't help but groaned, and subconsciously withdrew his arm, but was fixed in place by Qiu Sheng's strong right hand. The man followed She took a deep breath, and her eyes, which were not working well, narrowed more and more: "It's really different. Didn't you know how to play hard and stubborn with me back then? If someone takes care of you, you should be honest, right? Hmm ?do not move!"

He Lingyu couldn't say a word for a moment.

This man has guarded her overtly and secretly for several years, and he has the demeanor of a brother and a father. He is still only a young man in his 25s, but his thoughtfulness is extraordinary.

He Lingyu lowered his brows slightly, and naturally understood for whom the earth-shaking changes in the person in front of him were for.

"How is Mr. Chu?"

Almost as soon as the surname was spoken, Qiu Sheng's fingers froze, and said lightly: "Your health has improved a lot. Right now, I should be taking care of Cui Wei's people in Kunlun Mountain."

"Has he ever told you something secret about Cui Wei?" After the last bit of dead skin was torn off, He Lingyu breathed a sigh of relief, "Xu Liushan's side often comes to news, saying that in recent years, the bird I haven't heard back from Mr. Chu even though I sent the letter, so tell me to ask you more when I see you, and let him go as soon as possible."

Qiu Sheng was taken aback: "Isn't he already fine?"

He Lingyu raised his head and faced Shang Qiusheng's terrified and inexplicable eyes. He quickly swallowed back the undisguised truth in his throat, and then tactfully said: "I don't know much about the specific situation. The words of a genius doctor are always good." It’s going to be nonsense, it’s better to follow through.”

From the beginning to the end, Qiu Sheng's slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes were firmly fixed on her face. After a while, he slowly retracted his hands and stood upright. The smile that often existed between his eyebrows and eyes disappeared, and his voice was low: "Honestly, what happened to him."

He Lingyu's pupils shrank suddenly, and his four eyes met. Seeing the man's undeniable fiery sincerity, there was no need to hide it: "There are three more days, and it will be time for him to cleanse his blood. If he can't do it here Time to arrive at Huadu Xuliu Mountain, I'm afraid it will be a little dangerous."

Qiu Sheng's frown was loosened suddenly: "Clean blood? What kind of blood does he clean?"

"You don't know?" He Lingyu was startled, "Don't you know he has poisonous bones?"

"Poisonous..." Qiu Sheng was stunned, "Didn't he clear up a long time ago?"

Now He Lingyu really believed that this person knew nothing about Cui Weige's trivial matters, thinking that perhaps Chu Yu had failed to inform Qiu Sheng out of some considerations, so it was hard to speak too bluntly: "Poison The bone is a brand that has been stamped in the bone marrow of the soul for generations, and there should be nothing to do about it. Fortunately, Xu Liushan is a quack doctor, so he figured out how to slowly scrape and clean the highly poisonous substance from the blood and bones The method, although after a long time of various attempts, Mr. Chu is the first person who has really started to eat crabs... The difficulties and obstacles are unimaginable. It has only been five or six years, how can it be cleaned up? It's just temporarily suppressing it, if there is any change after that... the station master!"

Qiu Sheng clutched his chest and coughed violently for a few times, opened his red eyes, and suddenly spit out two mouthfuls of blood.

The long-term tug-of-war in the south of the Yangtze River added to his many new injuries, but thanks to the peace of mind in front of his eyes from the people of Chu Yu on weekdays, he was not destroyed by those internal injuries that came and went.

The sweetheart staying in front of him safely seems to be enough to hold his breath and come back from the dead.

But now, heartache and pain surged into my heart together, turning into an unknown three thousand sorrowful, with the black hair firmly clinging to the top of the head, unable to get rid of the struggle, only resigned to fate and swallowed.

"Station Master..." He Lingyu hurriedly helped him, picked up Fang Qingqing's handkerchief and wiped the corners of his pale lips, "Maybe there is something wrong with this matter, I'd better wait until I see Young Master Chu..."

"Will I ever see him again?"

He Lingyu was startled: "Ah?"

The young man mumbled a very vague sentence from his lips, and when he raised his eyes again, he turned his head and turned his face indifferently: "Return to Beijing, there is no time to waste."

In a short time, he had almost recovered the coldness that was high above the king of God. He Lingyu got off the bed and stood up, bending slightly to salute: "Your subordinate obeys."

Like snow pear flowers falling like rain, they floated lightly on the canopy, and just before they licked the corner of Ninety-Five Supreme's clothes, they were quickly brushed away by several people with sharp eyes and outstretched hands.With a handsome nose and a handsome profile, slightly raised, he squinted his eyes slightly facing the rising sun. In front of the gate of the Forbidden City, he paused every step, and behind the Xuanwu Gate, he saw a poisonous snake with ulterior motives.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

Qiu Wei still had a fake smile that everyone was familiar with, and his pair of slender and high Danfeng eyes narrowed, and all the light in his eyes was hidden behind the eyelids in an instant, making it difficult to see clearly.

Obviously bent over and knelt down, but her waist was so straight that she couldn't bend it any more. Looking at each other, Qiu Sheng's brows were instantly wrinkled, and she secretly bit the soft flesh inside her lips.

Thinking back then, he had tried everything possible to invite this person back. After meeting him for the first time, he was very lucky. He was sincerely happy to have such a right-hand man, but now that the angle changed, he broke out in a cold sweat out of thin air.

Even though he is sure to be a king today, he is still unwilling to turn against such an unfathomable person.

"The emperor's uncle is flat, what kind of big ceremony should he do?"

Stretching out his hands to pull the man's arms, he felt an extremely depressing force suddenly coming from his wrists. Qiu Sheng's eyes suddenly changed, he calmed down, and calmly exerted a lot of internal force on his hands. So he turned against the guest and suppressed the opponent, and the palm of his hand became slightly hot.

He stared closely at the slightest expression on the man's face, but he still couldn't feel the slightest panic. The man just followed Qiu Sheng's strength to slowly stand firm, and smiled calmly, but his spine bent slightly. It is just right to advance and retreat respectfully: "Your Majesty, please—"

This person's mask is so tightly fitted that it is impossible to even realize that it is not the person's original skin.

The journey from Tiancheng to Jingdu was hard work. Qiu Sheng hung her body with serious internal injuries all the way, and rushed with a pale face to catch up with the progress of all the members. Shiquan devoted all his energy to deal with Qiu Wei, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, and when he passed by that person, he nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "I miss you so much after seeing him for a few years, Uncle Emperor, how about a little get-together tomorrow?"

Qiu Wei raised his head with a smile, with a respectful and clear smile: "The matters of the minister's duties...The ministers are all waiting in the political hall, but seeing your majesty's pale face is scary, why don't you rest first?"

Qiu Sheng raised his face to the Yizheng Hall with half-opened eyes, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of powerlessness welling up in his heart, a strong nausea came from the spleen and stomach, dizzy and desperately stabilized his figure, long Breathe a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was trapped in the Jiangnan battlefield for several years and could not return, but he became unfamiliar with the intrigue in the officialdom again.The iron helmet and silver armor covering his body are many times more relaxed and smooth than this gorgeous dragon robe.

What else is there to deal with?Does he still need it?

Turning around, he had already walked a few steps, and the figure of that person kneeling on the ground was already blurred.Qiu Sheng leisurely took out a pair of glass mirrors from his sleeve and put them on, facing the unidentified expression of civil and military officials, he slowly squatted down, looked directly at the man's pair of pure-looking eyes, and said lightly: "I'm busy these days. Now, let's all go back and rest first... But you and my nephew need to catch up on the old days."

It wasn't until this moment that the face of the masked man cracked slightly, his pupils shrank slightly, and then slowly and cautiously returned to normal, and said with a gentle smile: "Naturally. Your Majesty's sympathy for your subjects is a blessing they can't ask for... How about the imperial garden? The spring is in full swing, how about I cook some green plum wine just for your majesty?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone around was taken aback.

Prince Qing'an cooks the wine himself?Is this treating all the servants and maids in the palace as nothing?

This has turned this ordinary reminiscence between uncles and nephews into a shady and secret conversation. Both parties are sharp people with concise words, and Qiu Wei should have been timid and hiding away. The one who went was so frank, Qiu Sheng also smiled kindly and said: "Such kindness cannot be refused, so let's thank the emperor first."

Li Ci, who was waiting by Qiu Sheng's side, raised his eyes. Although he didn't understand the inexplicably tense atmosphere between these two people, he was already very familiar with Qiu Sheng's behavior and way of doing things. Before Qiu Sheng turned his head and gave orders , he had already led a group of guards and eunuchs to withdraw from the small door on one side.

When Li Ci made such a move, Jiang Chen and Tao Qinglin, who had been standing by the side all the time, understood it, and they both stepped forward to clear the scattered courtiers around them. Within a stick of incense, the city gate, which was full of crowds just now, was empty and deserted. Nearly a needle can be heard.

"Congratulations to the Emperor—"

The high-pitched voice dragged on sourly and long, and the moonlight was slightly bright at the corner of the sky, just at night.

It is not a long distance from the gate of the palace to the imperial garden, but it is worth walking slowly.Qiu Sheng asked himself, thinking that he had put his heart in his chest and abdomen to make it smooth along the way, but he still couldn't really go to the Imperial Garden with this ulterior motive, let alone stroll such a long way leisurely and leisurely. Yes, cooking wine and drinking tea is even more impossible.

There was no way to pretend to be a fool, so Qiu Sheng crossed the ten-thousand-foot bow in front of Qiu Wei: "Uncle Huang, I have offended you."

At this moment, the two of them happened to be in the air, and the spring breeze was still a bit cold, and there was some stiff pain when it blew on the face.Qiu Wei sighed softly, stretched out his hand to hook Qiu Sheng's murderous bow and arrow to the side, turned around three times and wandered to a shelter from the wind, and smiled: "Xiao Sheng...Since you can't wait, what's the matter , let’s talk about it first.”

Qiu Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, and was surprised to see that this man's expression and eyes were always clear and open. He couldn't help frowning and said: "What the younger generation wants to know, the emperor knows it well, so why bother talking."

Qiu Wei smiled when he heard the words: "It's really a child's heart, how can I be a roundworm in your stomach? I have been out in the wind and rain for more than ten years. Gold, silver, treasures, jewels, and beauties are all rare things. Trifles in the world are not easy to deal with. Less on your body. Xiao Sheng, which one do you want to hear?"

As he spoke, he moved closer, Qiu Sheng furrowed his brows in a very subtle way and hid aside: "Uncle Huang, this junior is abrupt, please explain in detail."

"Ha, how can I not obey the imperial decree of the Long Live Lord?" Qiu Wei shook his hand and smiled, raised a finger on his lips and moved it a few times, closed his eyes and frowned for a while, and then slowly replied, "This Jianghu is divided Is it the absurdity of holding a broken earthenware bowl and just asking for bad food when wandering around the world? In the early years, I went to Kunlun Mountain to see the unique style of Cuiwei Pavilion, and the witchcraft in southern Xinjiang The village is very fierce, and almost lost his life... Oh, it's a pity to say that, these years have not achieved nothing, and I have finally visited a generation of big and small brothels in the capital, but I heard that Xiaosheng you ..."

Qiu Sheng frowned: "How about me?"

"It doesn't matter if your heart belongs to you. How can you be devoted to one person for the rest of your life? It's not too wasteful to have three thousand beauties in the harem. There are flowers that can be broken straight... There are no flowers and empty branches... In fact, it doesn't matter," Qiu Wei smiled, "When the flowers are all in bloom, there are still thousands of pink willows and greens blooming in spring, a lot of good years, but in a flash..."

Qiu Sheng imperceptibly raised his hand and pressed the hilt of his sword, and lowered his eyebrows and eyes: "For me, since the day we first met, there is only one branch in the world, rivers, lakes and seas."

"People are old and pale, when they are in such decline..."

"My alluring man is not a monster with a human face. He has his dry and fallen charm, and I don't care." This topic must be put aside at this point. Ruan, Qiu Sheng said coldly, "Uncle Huang, let's talk about the trivial matters in the world."

His eyes were full of light, and he raised his head in the slightly cold spring breeze: "This junior is especially curious about...why would such a carefree and easy-going character like the Emperor's Uncle fight with the Wugu Village Master who doesn't recognize a single character?" What about grudges?"

"Don't say that the so-called deceitful king has evil intentions, these are all nonsense. The younger generation is more or less a wanderer from the Jianghu. Please explain in detail how the borrowed Jianghu forces squeezed Nanjiang dry bit by bit. Clearly, the younger generation can still understand...the village master is dead, the emperor must also know it well, if it is a public revenge, please trouble the emperor, every word...pretend to explain..."
