I live in Beihai Jun Nanhai [Rebirth]

Chapter 142 Snow Flies in the Glazed Ball

On the way back to the northern border, Shui Jing was a little dazed, and he even felt a little confused, as if he was stuck with a bunch of threads and couldn't sort it out.

Why did you come here in the first place?

Because Xie Wuyi stayed up all night because of this, he wanted to know the truth, so Shui Jing wanted to do what he wanted.

From the beginning to the end, Shui Jing never imagined what would happen if the king was really sick, and what if it was a fake illness.

What would Xie Wuyi do if he found out that the king's illness was a fake?Will he resist the decree and not return, or will he still follow the decree and return to Beijing?

Shui Jing felt that Xie Wuyi didn't seem like someone who would disobey his father. Even Shui Jing hesitated when he proposed to listen to a wall. Unwilling.

Then, as Shi Jiu asked, what can he do if he knows the truth?

It's nothing more than adding a little bit of unwillingness and a little bit of brooding in my heart.

When we arrived at Anyu Pass, the night was dark.

Shui Jing deftly avoided layers of guards in Guanzhong and arrived at Wuyi's residence.

There was no one outside, and the lights inside were still on. Xie Wuyi lay on his side on the couch with his clothes on and slept soundly.

Shui Jing lightly sat down on the side of the room, and twirled her fingers around the cluster of flames on the top of the candle, still deliberating in her heart.

In the past, he saw the difference between "true and false" very simply, true is true, and false is false. He has never deliberately made up a lie to anyone, and has never intentionally reversed black and white.

Just like when Shijiu ridiculed him for "speaking the truth after drinking", he once refuted the phrase "everything can be told to others", for him, there is nothing that cannot be told frankly, not because How noble he thinks of himself is because there is no need to lie.

There are no worries, no fears, so you can speak out about anything, and you don't have to care about the consequences of such outspokenness.

But now, he hesitated a little.

Do you want to tell Xie Wuyi the truth, saying that your father is not sick at all?

He found he didn't want to say it at all.

Firstly, since Xie Wuyi had to go back to Beijing by order no matter what, telling him the truth would only add to the annoyance.

Second come...

Shui Jing looked at the sleeping figure on the couch, and realized that in his heart he actually agreed with the king calling Xie Wuyi back to Beijing, because he suddenly realized that if one day Daluan really sent his troops south, he didn't want to see Xie Wuyi Move to the front line and lead the way.

Just as Shui Jing was thinking, he suddenly heard Xie Wuyi's breathing on the couch a little short.

He got up gently, went to the side of the couch and stretched his head to look, and found that Xie Wuyi's lips were tightly pursed and his brows were slightly furrowed, as if he had dreamed of some unpleasant scene.

He blinked, thinking of the folk parents' way of putting their children to sleep, raised his hand and gently patted Xie Wuyi's arm, and hummed an unknown song softly in his nose.

Xie Wuyi seemed to feel comforted, his breathing gradually calmed down, and his brows relaxed a little, but after a while, he suddenly opened his eyes.

Shui Jing was stunned, and the hand that was about to continue clapping also stopped in the air.

He looked at his hands.

Could it be that I didn't grasp the severity and just slapped him awake?

Or... Humming the tune too loudly, waking him up?

Before he could continue to think, Xie Wuyi turned his head and saw him, and immediately sat up on the couch: "Master is back?"

His voice was still hoarse when he first woke up, but the surprise was obvious.

"Well," Shui Jing lowered his hands and smiled, "What did you dream about just now?"

Xie Wuyi was startled, as if he didn't expect Shui Jing to ask this suddenly, and then lowered his eyes and said: "I dreamed... I can't remember."

Shui Jing looked at his expression, and always felt that this sentence was not true, but Xie Wuyi raised his eyes again and asked: "Has Master returned to the palace to see it? Father, he..."

"Look," Shui Jing was ready to answer just now, and replied without changing his expression, "Your father is indeed ill."

Shui Jing's answer was so natural, Xie Wuyi obviously believed the answer, frowned, and asked nervously, "What's wrong with Father? Is it serious?"

Shui Jing decided to tell this lie just now, and he really couldn't think of everything for a while, but he still has this knowledge after traveling the world for thousands of years, so he said nonsense in a serious manner: "It was due to the occasional cold, and the morning I am busy with government affairs and paperwork, and it is difficult to recover from the illness, and it gets worse after a long time, and now I have been bedridden for days."

Upon hearing this, Xie Wuyi turned over and got out of bed immediately, and said, "I'll just pack up and leave for Beijing early tomorrow morning."

Shui Jing looked at his eager expression and busy figure, and knew that he must have blamed himself for suspecting his father's illness, but he had told all the lies, and Shui Jing couldn't change his words, so he could only follow his words He said: "Well, presumably if you return to Beijing to help him share the government affairs and make him less tired, he will be able to recover soon."

Xie Wuyi didn't answer, just nodded silently, his hands kept busy.

Early in the morning of the second day, Xie Wuyi rode his horse back at dawn.

This time there was no army to follow, and he didn't need to slow down to stop and go. He hardly stopped along the way, and he returned to Yudu in less than [-] days.

This time Xie Wu moved back to Beijing, the happiest thing was not the Queen of the Kingdom, but Yanque.

I heard from Aunt Zhou that since Jiewu moved to the northern border, Yanque asked tearfully where the Prince's brother went and where did the Taishi brother go from time to time, causing Aunt Zhou to have a headache.

Now Xie Wuyi returned to Beijing, although Yanque couldn't see him all the time, she always went to the rockery on the day when he practiced sword, and sat obediently on the rock to watch him practice sword.

According to the previous decree, the lord of the country handed over many government affairs without any change, but he ignored the big things and simply "bedridden" until the early autumn season.

During this period, while Xie Wuyi was familiar with government affairs, he kept an eye on Daluan's movements, and even took time out of his busy schedule to practice swordsmanship, which was a lot of work.

Fortunately, Daluan's 15 troops did not make any changes along the way, they just went straight to the southwest and attacked the country of Qi as stated in the letter of war.

The garrison in the northern border of Yu State followed the movement of Daluan's army, all the way to the west, until the border of Qi State where Daluan was stationed was confirmed, and then stopped, and stationed at Fengding Pass at the junction of the three countries.

From time to time, the spy reports were sent from the border of the country of Qi to other countries. Not long after, all the countries realized that Daluan’s attack on Qi was very difficult. Luan repeatedly lost troops and lost generals.

Until the end of the year, Daluan was still the same as it was in the spring, being blocked on the edge of the Qi Kingdom and making it difficult to advance, which made all the countries secretly happy.

The court of Yu Kingdom was full of sarcasm, and all the officials laughed at Daluan for nothing more than that. After spending half a year with 15 people, he couldn't even knock out a crack in Qi Kingdom's shell.

Xie Wuyi was never at ease because of these reports, but now that he saw the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, who seemed to be sitting in peace, he was even more worried.

Seeing that the lord was "healed", Xie Wuyi once again asked for orders to go to the border, but this time the lord refused without thinking.

He had no choice but to ask his father to send an order to fix the pass, urging the soldiers not to relax because of the spy report, and not to relax their vigilance at all times.

In the past half a year, because Xie Wuyi was busy with other things, the period of sword training often changed, sometimes at intervals of three to five days, and sometimes at intervals of ten or twenty days, but this time Shui Jing did not bargain with him on this.

I don't know if it's because Shang Shui Jing had concealed something from him about the previous king's illness. Since Xie Wu moved back to Yudu, Shui Jing always wanted to rely on him more, as long as it was not too embarrassing, he would always agree. .

Of course, Xie Wuyi has never been a person who does not know how to measure, and he has not made any excessive demands so far.

On this day, it was time to practice swords again.

Shui Jing arrived at Yu Palace early, and as soon as he turned around the rockery, he saw Yan Que get up from a stone, calling "Brother Taishi" and galloping towards him.

Shui Jing squatted down and opened his arms, and was bumped into his arms by her. He had no choice but to stabilize his figure, and said with a smile, "Why are you here alone? Where's Aunt Zhou?"

Yanque said sweetly: "Aunt Zhou is gone, just now the elder brother of the crown prince is here, he said he has something to go back, he will come when he goes."

As she said that, she felt something pinch her back, and when she turned her head, she saw a bulging cloth bag in Shui Jing's hand, and asked strangely, "What is this?"

Shui Jing said mysteriously: "I'll show you when the prince brother comes, okay?"

Yanque nodded obediently, and reached out to touch the round cloth bag, as if trying to guess what would be inside.

At this moment, Xie Wuyi turned out from the other side of the rockery, saw Shui Jing at a glance, and said, "Master is here?"

Yanque urged while waving: "Brother Prince, come quickly, Brother Tai Shi has brought something good for us to see."

Shui Jing couldn't help laughing, this girl didn't even know what was inside the bag, so she thought it was a "good thing" wishful thinking, she was really innocent.

Xie Wuyi paused, then smiled and said, "What a coincidence? I also have something to show Master."

Shui Jing was startled, and then noticed that he was holding an object one foot high and wide in his hands, covered with a black linen cloth, which completely covered the object, and asked curiously, "What is this?"

Xie Wuyi squatted down and put the thing lightly on the ground. Judging from his movements, the object seemed to be quite heavy. He patted the dust in his hands, and walked towards the water mirror and said, "Let's see what Master's Bar."

"Alright."

Shui Jing didn't make a fuss, and when Xie Wuzhi came to him, he took out the items from the cloth bag and held them in his palm.

It was a transparent sphere, made of colored glaze, the upper half of the inside was hollow, while the lower half was filled with clear water.Floating on the water was a small, finely carved cube that looked like wood, but was more shiny than wood.If you look closely, you can see that this block is actually a tiny wooden house.

"Wow!" Yanque was very surprised, and carefully stretched out his fingers to touch it.

Xie Wuyi was also attracted by the exquisiteness of this object, and asked, "This is it?"

Shui Jing said: "Didn't you say you have never seen snow?"

Xie Wuyi was a little dazed, and blinked his eyes. Although this water polo is a wonderful workmanship, what does it have to do with snow?

Shui Jing smiled mysteriously: "Look carefully, but don't blink."

As he spoke, he slowly turned the glazed ball in his hands.

Xie Wuyi and Yanque both stared intently at what he said, and saw that the clear water in the glass began to change quietly, and a little bit of mist slowly rose, gathered at the top, and formed fine water droplets , and the remaining clear water slowly condenses and turns white at the bottom.

Suddenly, the water droplets on the top also suddenly turned white, first they were as fine as powder, and then they floated up like goose feathers, slowly falling, and fell around the cabin.

The scene in this little glazed ball instantly turned into a wilderness with heavy snow, a quiet wooden house in the white snow, the tranquility and beauty are not like the world.

Yanque stared blankly with wide-eyed eyes, and Xie Wuyi also forgot to blink.

He had seen snow scenes in paintings, but that was only a moment frozen on the paper. He could not use the painting to imagine how fast the snowflakes fell, nor could he imagine how it would look when it landed on the eaves and the ground.

But at this time, he seemed to be in the scene, as if he just closed his eyes, he would be standing outside the wooden house, and he could catch a falling snowflake with his hand.

Seeing Xie Wuyi's bright eyes that were fixed on him and the almost obsessive gaze in them, Shui Jing couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled slightly.

He originally wanted to have a heavy snowfall in Yudu, but Yudu is too warm. If it snows here, it will melt before it hits the ground, let alone pile up a snow scene on the ground.

So, he went to Qiongguo to find Shibuyu again, and asked him to help make this glazed ball.

Creating a snow scene in this glazed ball is definitely not as spectacular as the real scene, but for Xie Wuyi who has never seen a snow scene, even if it is not a personal experience, it should be enough to feast his eyes.

Now it seems that I have not miscalculated.

After a long while, the water mist condensed on the top melted into snow one after another, and the water mirror stopped the hand turning the glass, allowing the snow scene to slowly melt into water and return to its original appearance.

"How's the snow scene?" Shui Jing looked at Xie Wuyi.

Yanque clapped his hands excitedly and said, "It looks good!"

Xie Wuyi seemed to be still immersed in the snow scene just now and didn't come back to his senses. He turned his head to look at Shui Jing when he heard Yanque's voice, and said, "It's like a dream."

Shui Jing smiled and said, "Do you still remember when I said where my home is?"

Xie Wuyi nodded: "The end of the North Sea."

"Well," Shui Jing said, "this snow scene is imitated from that place, and the small wooden house inside is the place where those booklets are piled up."

He conveniently put the glazed ball back into the cloth bag, handed it to Xie Wuyi and said, "Here, I'll see you off, and I'll take you to Beihai to see the real snow scene when I have a chance in the future."

Xie Wuyi looked at him fixedly, the emotions in his eyes changed a few times, and finally he smiled with downcast eyes, took the cloth bag and said, "The things Master brought are so good, I'm ashamed to let Master see mine."

Shui Jing looked at the object covered by the black cloth. For a moment, he really couldn't guess what would be inside, so he simply walked over and squatted aside, Yanque followed him and squatted down, staring expectantly black cloth.

Shui Jing turned around and said, "Are you going to expose it or am I?"

Xie Wuyi said: "Master, expose it."

Shui Jing nodded, pinched the corner of the black cloth and lifted it up gently, revealing a gap, the gap is not big, but one can see a corner of it.

Yanque immediately leaned his head over, and then let out a puzzled "Hey".

Not to mention Yanque, even Shui Jing was a little confused.

Under the black cloth was a basket made of bamboo strips, a thin object stood upright in the basket, with a small ball like a quail egg on the top, at first glance it looked like a small snake with its head upright.
