Gui Gongzi [Green Snake]

"Who is it?" The night guard opened the door, but saw two monks standing at the door, "Are you two going to ask for alms?"

"Benefactor, my junior brother and I went to the capital to subdue demons, but we found some evil spirits in your house halfway, so we came to take a look." Jing Ci said to the guard.

"Ah? Everyone in the family is asleep, master, why don't you come tomorrow, and there is no one in the family who can make decisions now." The guard yawned lazily, and was very helpless. He was told that there was evil in the house in the middle of the night, but This small building in Linchuan is still calm, how can there be any evil spirits?Those who can make decisions are asleep, who knows what these two monks do, it is not easy to let them in.

Fahai held the whisk in his hand, flicked it in the air, and said, "They have moved."

After finishing the words, Fa Hai stomped on the stone lion by the door "Teng Teng", and rushed to the roof in a few strokes.

"Hey, what are you doing..." The guard immediately picked up his weapon, but saw Fa Hai jump over the fence a few times, didn't enter the house, just stepped on the roof, and ran towards the road behind Linchuan Xiaozhu.

What speed is this...

"Excuse me, my junior brother is chasing the evil spirit. The monster in your mansion has already left, so please excuse me." Jingci bowed to the guard with her seal in one hand, and also protected the golden Buddha in the basket behind her, and stepped on The wind stepped on the roof and followed Fa Hai.

The guard rubbed his eyes awkwardly.

Hell, people can run so fast, hell...

On the second day, Xi came with him and went to knock on the door of Xie Xin's room.

But when he pushed the door open, he found that it was empty inside, and the beds were neatly folded, as if they hadn't been spread out all night.

"Ah Fu? Ah Fu?" Xi He turned to look for the night watchman again, but he saw his father.

"What's the matter? Shouting here early in the morning?" Nie Fanchen looked at his daughter, who looked anxious.

"Daddy, Xie Xin is gone!" Xi He's anxious expression changed, "What's going on here?"

"Young Master Xie has something urgent, so he took a step ahead in the middle of the night last night, and even said goodbye to me."

"Ah?" Xi He was dumbfounded, and stomped his feet angrily, "Why didn't he tell me, I still want to take him to the imperial capital!"

Nie Fanchen shook his head: "The Emperor Xie Xin has important matters to attend to, how can he play with you every day?"

Saying that, he took Xi He's hand and said, "Don't be angry, let's go, go to have breakfast, after the meal, you can take that scholar to the imperial capital."

"Take him?" Xi He muttered, seemingly unwillingly.

"The scholar is going to Beijing for the exam, and you still need to arrange a place for him. He is Mr. Xie's younger brother. If he takes good care of him, he will tell Mr. Xie that you are a careful and good girl." Nie Fanchen said to Mr. Xie. Xi He was always very patient, and after a good talk, Xi He was finally persuaded, and then he set about arranging the affairs of the scholar.

Xi He didn't like to ride in a carriage, and when he was on the road, he was dressed in a strong outfit and rode a tall horse. The scholar sat on the carriage. This time there was no Xie Xin on it, and he sat alone, looking empty. The servant in front of the carriage was the prince's mansion .

Xi He seemed a little depressed, riding his horse in silence, and the two guards behind him were even more silent, like dolls, they followed Xi He wherever he went.

The servant didn't like to talk too much, he hummed a ditty and drove the horse all the way, enjoying himself, and ignored everyone.

In this way, it is a little embarrassing.

The scholar looked at Xi He, and tried to speak: "That, princess?"

After a while, Xi He glanced at the scholar and said, "What's the matter?"

"I didn't see Xie Xin for breakfast today, where did he go?"

Which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, Xi He couldn't help blurting out: "As a younger brother, you don't even know this?"

After finishing speaking, seeing the ashamed look on the scholar's face, he felt that there might be some estrangement between the two, but they still cared about each other, so he calmed down and replied, "He went to the imperial capital last night, it seems that he has something important to do."

"Oh that's it..." The scholar nodded awkwardly.

In this way, there was another silence for a while, until they encountered a caravan ahead.

This caravan was obviously going to enter the city. The chariots, horses and mules were carrying a lot of goods. The merchants and guards were walking back and forth, not moving fast.

Xi He drove his horse, trying to bypass these people.

At this moment, the bodyguard in the caravan riding a sword saw the 14-year-old Xi He dressed smartly, riding a steed, and very pretty, so he couldn't help but snickered and shared something with his companions. At the end, he said something, It sounds very uncomfortable.

Behind Xi He, Shang Bai and Monk Yun rode up to follow. The loyal guards couldn't bear the fact that their master was being teased and teased, but the bodyguards of the caravan felt that there were too many people on their side. Seeing that there were only two guards on the other side, they immediately He became even more presumptuous, and actually raised his whistle and called out: "The little lady in front, is she wearing such simple clothes and riding a horse? Don't you feel tired?"

To put it lightly, the tone is simply frivolous and irreverent.

The murderous look in Shang Yun's eyes disappeared, and with a movement of his palm, he placed it on the handle of the knife suddenly.

Xi He glared at Shang Yun, warning him not to cause trouble here.

However, this forbearance was seen by the bodyguard as a pusher to promote arrogance, and he said even more presumptuously: "This guy who is riding in the saddle is hurting your delicate long legs? Come on, why don't you be a brother, brother! You make meat pads."

As he spoke, he patted himself on the thigh, making the friends around him giggle and laugh.

This time, even Shang Bai, who has always been calm, couldn't bear it anymore.

Anger was on the verge of breaking out, and if they fought on this road, they might be labeled robbers. Xi He's complexion was not good, but he couldn't bear the anger in his heart.

At this moment, an untimely shout came.

"Hey, this pony is disobedient, please give way in front, don't be bumped by it—"

A carriage came quickly, its hooves clattered on the ground, and rushed into the group of escorts who spoke rudely. The servant who drove the carriage was sitting behind, and the driver was that dull, quiet scholar. .

The scholar still had a cowardly look of shock, as if he couldn't control the carriage, his hand holding the rein "accidentally" shook, the frightened horse neighed, and very coincidentally raised its front hooves, and pointed at someone. kick.

"Hey, hello—"

The bodyguard who spoke rudely was caught off guard by a hoof that kicked heavily on the back, leaving a big horseshoe print on the fabric, and another hoof happened to step on the buttocks of the horse he was sitting on, and the maroon horse followed immediately. As if he had returned to the mountains, he spread his hooves and ran wildly all the way.

"Stop--stop!!" The bodyguard screamed, one of the saddle straps broke, and he was thrown off the horse's back just after a couple of bumps, and the pedals got stuck and dragged for a long time distance.

Seeing this, the accompanying bodyguards immediately rode forward to rescue him, not caring about pursuing the scholar for a moment, not to mention that the scholar continued to pretend to be a frightened and crazy horse, and drove the horse away. Blink at each other.

Xi He couldn't help covering his mouth with a low smile, and beckoned Shang Yun and Bai to drive away quickly.

Unexpectedly, this scholar looks cowardly, once he pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, he is quite handsome.

"I think the bodyguard is careless. He didn't even realize that the saddle rope was about to break. He simply decided to use his tricks and let him ask for trouble."

After a group of people ran wildly for a while, they left the caravan far away, and then slowed down a little, talking leisurely, and continued to move towards the imperial capital.

"This move of yours really relieved your anger. It not only made that madman suffer, but also prevented us from getting entangled with the caravan." Xi He could see that the scholar wanted to help her vent her anger.

"Don't praise me like that, I just can't stand the guy who thinks he's flirting with others all day long, but also thinks he's so handsome and flamboyant." The scholar waved his hand, and the conversation started like this, "When I was young, in my hometown, the landlord's house Jin Xiaobao often bullies the little sister next door like this, and every time I help her out."

Xi He pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I can't see that you are still very righteous. Now that you have gone to the capital like this, your little sister must be very reluctant to part with you."

The scholar waved his hand: "She is married, and there will be a man who will protect her for the rest of her life."

Driving the carriage, the scholar looked calmly at the lofty world in front of him: "However, there are still many malicious things in this world. I must go to high school and make a plan to rectify these unhealthy tendencies."

As he said that, a slight smile appeared on that delicate face: "In this way, I have the capital to protect those good people for the rest of my life."

Xi He looked at the scholar, that peaceful face reminded her of Xie Xin.

That night at Dingguo Temple, Xie Xin told him a lot of anecdotes and anecdotes. The white-clothed young man's face was like a crown of jade, reflecting the warmth of the candlelight. He talked about the thousand-year-old locust tree, which blooms invincibly all year round, and about the deserted suburbs. A beautiful ghost who comes and goes without a trace in the wild, and also said that there is a big snake that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the purple bamboo forest...

These things brought Xi He into a wonderful world that had never been heard before. After listening to these chaotic and mysterious stories, she felt that the world is so big and the formal life in the imperial capital is really depressing.

Xie Xin made her want to escape from the imperial capital and travel around to explore those wonderful things, but the scholar gave her the urge to return to the imperial capital to regroup and do a good job.

But maybe, both of them have the same wish.

That is to be able to live in a wonderful world and live a worthwhile life.

The night rain is evil, and the autumn wind is cool.

The night lights are lit one by one, illuminating the empty stage, and the fallen leaves are blowing up with the wind.

Huangfu Jixun sat on the painted wooden chair, looking at the stage in front of him.

There is weird music in my ears, and my scalp feels numb, but this is not the most unbearable thing.

Huangfu couldn't move, couldn't make a sound, and could only look at the stage.

Until a cloud sleeve was thrown, the woman's slim voice swayed onto the stage.

"If you don't come to the next life, the back is always there, and the lovesickness will cause dust~~~"

The piercing sound of the singing was like fingernails scraping on a metal plate, Huangfu's scalp was numb, and goose bumps appeared all over his body.

"When a man is in love and a concubine is heartbroken,

Feeling aggrieved has a month to know,

Meeting is not easy and separation is easy,

It's too late for the abandoned wife to regret now—"

As he sang, the actor with his back to the stands turned around quickly, looking at Huangfu with dark eyes.

"Lang Jun, you abandoned me and married your Shang Shu's daughter, have you thought about what will happen to our daughter?"

Huangfu struggled to wake up, covered in cold sweat and panic.

Unexpectedly, I will have such a nightmare, what a bad luck...

"Zhenyue? Zhenxiang?" Huangfu called out and sat up from the bed.

The door of the room was pushed open, Huangfu raised his eyes, and saw that it was not two concubines, but the eldest wife Li Duanhua who came in. Seeing the messy wife, Huangfu replied: "Yes, madam."

But he hummed in his heart.

Seeing Huangfu getting up, Li Duanhua came forward with a smile on his face, helped put on his outer robe, and said thoughtfully: "Master is also looking radiant today, it seems that there is some happy event."

Thinking of the nightmare just now, Huangfu instinctively felt that the other party was mocking him, and said in a bad tone: "What kind of happy event can there be? My old friend of the general just died, and I'm still panicking!"

Li Duanhua was surprised and said: "Oh, master doesn't know?"

"Know what?" Huangfu Jixun didn't lift his eyelids.

Li Duanhua opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile: "Congratulations, husband, Aunt Xiang, you are happy!"

Huangfu Jixun was startled, stared at Li Duanhua with wide eyes, and asked, "What? Is Xiang'er happy? When did it happen?"

Li Duanhua covered his lips and said, "Just last night, when I passed by the garden, I heard two aunts chatting. It turned out that Xiang'er was happy. She was pregnant for the first time, and she felt uneasy and didn't know what to do. She My sister is as old as her, and I don't know what to do. If not, I'll go up to appease her, make her feel at ease, and explain it early in the morning, and I'll come and tell the master, and let the master decide for her!"

"Oh, I didn't say it earlier!"

As soon as Huangfu shook his arm, he was about to go out to look for Zhenxiang. Li Duanhua immediately stepped forward and said, "Hey, my husband, this pregnant woman can't stand being frightened or tortured. She's emotionally unstable. You rushed over in such a hurry , don't run into other girls."

Huangfu is a reckless man who understands these details, he was dumb for a while, and then said: "Then, what do you think should be done?"

Li Duanhua then said: "First of all, you have to go to see Aunt Xiang in a calm and upright manner. You are her man, and she can only rely on you if she wants to do something. If you look calm and reliable, she will naturally feel at ease? Then, tell me He, this child, you have to make up your mind, everything will be taken care of, she doesn't need to worry about anything else, in this way, she can appease the other party smoothly. "

What Li Duanhua said clearly and logically made Huangfu Jixun nod his head straight. The last time he listened to Li Duanhua so obediently was more than ten years ago.

After telling everything, Huangfu Jixun was led by Li Duanhua to the small courtyard where Zhenxiang lived.

The servants in the house were all low-browed and pleasing to the eye, doing whatever they were supposed to do, and they didn't greet Huangfu warmly like in the past, or hurried into the house to inform others.

Huangfu was introduced into Zhenxiang's hut by Li Duanhua in this way. As soon as he entered the room, he saw Zhenxiang sitting on the bed, heard the noise, and even flinched a little. However, remembering the previous instructions, she pretended to be calm again and leaned delicately on the bed. On the bed, her little face was pale.

As soon as Huangfu entered the door, he yelled "Lady, lady" twice, and ran straight to Zhenxiang.

Li Duanhua moved his steps unhurriedly, watched with a smile as Huangfu rushed to the side of the bed, stroked Zhenxiang's face, and kept saying: "Young lady is suffering."

Then, he looked around again: "Where is Zhenyue?"

When Zhenyue was mentioned, Zhenxiang's face turned paler.
