[Zuzhou] White clothes in the world

With his back bent, Atisa staggered step by step towards a white tent behind the Red Palace. The old Hanhai King Zighan has been living here since he abdicated.

The servants guarding outside the tent saw the old Mo servant walking towards the tent from a distance, quickly greeted him with two legs and feet, supported Attisa respectfully, and led him into the tent.

Zigham was older than before, and Attisa's gray eyebrows were furrowed together, and then stretched out again. If he was put on his neck with a saber gifted by his own relatives, I'm afraid he would not be able to bear it either. This hit.

"Sit down." Zighan looked up at his acquaintance who was older than him, and pointed to the snow-white plush felt mat beside him.

Atisa sat cross-legged on the felt mat with difficulty, the long stick that never left was placed on his lap.He is no longer the Heavenly Servant of Beimo, now he is just a commoner——Attisa, but he did not salute Zighan.Because they are never kings and ministers, but friends.

"This place is much smaller than the Red Palace." Attisa pretended to raise his eyes to look around and said.

Zighan knew that the old man had looked around all around before entering the house, and he didn't expose Attisa, just smiled indifferently, his voice was old and hoarse, like a dying beast, and let out a low roar: "It's much quieter than the Red Palace." Zighan pushed back all the servants in the tent, leaving him and Attisa alone.He picked up the silver jug ​​on the low table and poured Attisa a bowl of fresh mare's milk. Now he can't drink strong wine like he did a few years ago, holding a knife on his back. He is old, so he didn't notice To Sayang Blade's ambition.

"Shayange..." Zighan looked down at the hot mare's milk in the silver bowl, rubbed his fingers against the edge of the silver bowl, "what's the matter?"

Atisa knew the worries in Zighan's heart. Sha Yangren was Zighan's son, and he was Zighan's favorite youngest son. Got to know my son.Atisa picked up the mare's milk on the low table, took a sip, and said after a long time: "Dead."

Zigham paused with his fingers rubbing the edge of the silver bowl, and the mouthless mare's milk overflowed from the silver bowl. He stared blankly at the white mare's milk dripping from the low table, squeezed his right hands together tightly, and then Let go dejectedly: "Am I stupid?"

Atisa sighed, shook his head and said: "No one would know that Sha Yangren hides so well, and when the sharp edge that has been hidden for more than ten years shines and kills the enemy, even if he wants to hide, he can only hide for a while."

"But him, I dote on him so much. Although he cannot inherit the throne, the land and population I left for him are beyond the reach of any prince." Zighan was not reconciled.

"Yes, no one can get the fatherly love you gave him, but have you forgotten, he is a wolf, a wolf that dare not be under anyone, even if he meets a tiger or a bear, he will not hesitate The ground bared its fangs and rushed forward to bite, vying for its own throne." Attisa put down the half-drunk mare's milk, looked straight at Zighan, and said sonorously, "Besides, there is another more cunning wolf beside him. !"

Zighan's eyes tightened suddenly, and he felt his breathing stagnate, but he quickly lowered his head again, like a defeated lion, bent down in discouragement. "I should have listened to you and thrown him back."

"It's too late to regret it now." Attisa said, and there was regret in his old voice, "I thought his body only contained the spirit of Tianmen, but I didn't expect that his body contained Fujuan and Yaoshun. The spiritual consciousness of the two people, and Fujuan's spiritual consciousness is not much left in the world, Yao Shun's spiritual consciousness will gradually erode Fujuan's spiritual consciousness, when the time comes..."

Atisa didn't continue talking. As the former Lord of the Northern Desert, Zighan had naturally heard about Yao Shun beheading his family members.

"Yao Shun," Zighan whispered, "in the end, he died at the hands of Zihuang. Didn't you say that Sha Yangren had Zihuang's spiritual consciousness?"

"Yes, he has, but can Zihuang in this life still draw his sword against Yaoshun?" Attisa struggled to force a smile on his face.

Hamar stood timidly outside the tent, looking at the inland woman in a white silk shirt, with a forced smile.After getting married, she is already a married woman, and she seldom comes to this noble place again. Today, she came to send agates to the concubine in the Red Palace at the request of her mother-in-law. She was sitting on a carriage outside the Red Palace. She saw a group of hundreds of inlanders dressed in dark clothes, with a white bird with wings embroidered with silver thread on their collars. Hamar remembered that he had given a man many times. Embroidered patterns like this.When she got out of the car and entered the inner circle of the Red Palace, she saw not far away, a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth was stepping on the stones on the ground sullenly, with her mouth flattened.The woman turned her head and saw Hamar who was looking at her, suddenly raised a smile and waved to Hamar.Hamar looked at this woman she had never seen in surprise, a little timidly.

Ze Baiyue saw the Beimo woman in red holding a gold-plated box, standing in a daze not far away, and forced a forced smile on her face.She turned her head resentfully, and muttered, "Bei Mo is so boring." Last night, Gu Minglan and her followed Sha Yangren to Chigong. Today she got up early and went to Gu Minglan's tent to find the She was told by her servants that Gu Minglan had gone to the Chi Palace to meet Sha Yangren early in the morning, and Ze Baiyue asked Yunluan's residence again. When she arrived, only Huiren was lying comfortably by the tent. Nibbling on a leg of lamb, Ze Baiyue curled her lips, and decided to go directly to the Red Palace to find someone, but she was stopped before she even approached the Red Palace.Ze Baiyue had no choice but to stand outside resentfully looking up at the sun above her head which was no different from the inland one. There were patrolling guards coming and going around her, and everyone was silent. Ze Baiyue felt bored and didn't want to Going back, she continued to look at the surroundings of the Chi Palace in this way. Just when she was about to finish reading, she saw a Beimo woman in a red horse skirt stepping down from a carriage, so she thought that the other party should She also came to meet someone in the Chigong Palace. Seeing Chigong's situation, this woman would probably be blocked outside the door and wait for a while like her, so she raised her face and smiled at the woman, but the other party seemed to be Very afraid of life.

Hamar didn't know what Ze Baiyue was thinking, she nodded cautiously to Ze Baiyue, and then said to the guard guarding the gate: "Please tell the concubine, Hamar brought a new agate made this year to offer to the concubine. Concubine chooses."

The guards guarding the gate already knew the woman who used to serve in the Yunluan tent, and let Hamar enter the inner circle of the Red Palace without looking at the contents of the gilded box in Hamar's hand.When Hamar walked past Ze Baiyue, he looked up at the inland woman carefully. This woman had a pretty face, just like the woman in the inland calligraphy and painting she had seen at Yunluan's place.

Ze Baiyue pursed her lips and watched Hamar pass by without saying a word, she suddenly noticed the gilt box in Hamar's hand, she raised her eyebrows lightly, and said to Hamar with a sweet smile: "Girl, please stay. "

Hamar stopped and looked at Ze Baiyue suspiciously, wondering what was the matter with this inland woman.

Ze Baiyue pressed down the jade step on the topknot, came to Hamar, raised a smile and said, "Are you that Hamar girl who has been serving the prince?"

Hamar nodded numbly, she had already heard that people from Shile would come to pick up their eldest son soon, but Hamar didn't expect it to be so soon.

Ze Baiyue took out a polished round fire red agate stone, on which a long-eared fire mouse was engraved, she put the agate stone in front of Hamar, and asked in a low voice: "This agate, do you want to buy it?" Recognize it?"

Hamar carefully looked at the piece of agate stone. The agate was polished and silvery, which was more brilliant than the one in the gilt box in her hand.Hamar didn't know how Zebaiyue had such a good agate stone. After a long time, Hamar said, "This agate is produced in Lijinhe, Beimo, but the polishing process is not from Beimo."

"Is it from Yankong?" Ze Baiyue asked.

Hamar shook his head and said hesitantly: "If it's the manufacturing process outside Beimo, I can't see it. You might as well ask the master craftsmen in Sand Sea City, maybe they will know something."

"That's it." Ze Baiyue took back the agate stone in disappointment, saluted Hamar, and went into a daze again.

Hamar also returned the salute to Ze Baiyue, and then walked towards the concubine's tent holding the gilt box.

Hamar walked into the concubine's tent for a while, Ze Baiyue saw that no one had come out from the Red Palace, so she left a message to a Shadow Moon Army following behind her, and walked out of the Red Palace by herself.

The bazaar in Shahai City is some distance away from Chi Palace, Ze Baiyue walked for about an hour before reaching the entrance of the bazaar, as soon as she came into sight, the market was bustling with people and noisy.Beimo is famous for its agate production. More than 1000 years ago, a regent from Yankong who was born in Beimo almost took the throne of Yankong's Mo clan. It is said that his surname was Gu.Ze Baiyue walked slowly in the market, caressing the fiery red agate stone in her hand, a faint smile gradually emerged from the corner of her mouth.Gu Fengxi, the regent of Yankong 1000 years ago, after being killed by the young emperor who personally supported him, his descendants fled Yankong and went to Beimo, hiding their names. After 1000 years, a member of the Gu family The woman was chosen as Zighan's concubine and gave birth to two Northern Desert princes, one named Sha Yangxu and the other named Sha Yangren.Yankong delusionally wanted to form an alliance with Beimo, and now Ze Baiyue's plan was about to be shattered by Ze Baiyue. Thinking of this, the corners of Ze Baiyue's lips curled up even higher.

"Master, can you help me find out who made this agate stone?" Ze Baiyue's long eyelashes flickered, her mouth was sweet, and she was pretty. When the master saw it, she felt relieved and took it. Ze Baiyue looked at the red agate in her hand for a while, and said after a long time, "This... If I'm not mistaken, it should be the handicraft of Master Mo."

"Mo?" The smile on Ze Baiyue's face disappeared in an instant, and she wondered, "Do you have a craftsman named Gu here?"

"Surnamed Gu?" The master thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "No."

"Where is there?" Suddenly, an old man with gray hair and a cigarette pipe dangling from the shop said, he pointed to a shop on the opposite street that was built like an inland shop house with square cornices, "isn't that the one?"

The old master tilted his head and glanced outside the door, shook his head and said with a smile: "Isn't that the Mohist shop that moved from Yankong hundreds of years ago?"

"You've missed me, this girl is talking about Gu, not Mo." The master turned around and argued.

The old man put down the cigarette stick in his hand, stood up tremblingly, walked to the door and said, "That's right, the first generation head of this family was surnamed Gu, and it seems that he changed his surname to Mo because he offended people from Yankong. I heard from an old man that when the Patriarch of the Mo family first arrived, he was the only one left. He opened a shop here by virtue of his skills in making glazed glass in Yankong. Later, he married a daughter-in-law. Later, the family grew bigger and bigger. Some people knew that they were from Yankong, and they were unwilling to move back to Beimo. I remember who died in Yankong Chilong County three years ago. Lord, it seems to be this one."

After Ze Baiyue heard what the old man said, the corner of her mouth smiled even deeper.She thanked the old man and the old master, put away the fiery red agate stone, walked to the shop across the street to take a look, then turned back to the way she came from, and walked out of the lively market.

Mo Jingzhi, the Marquis of Jinglie, was originally surnamed Gu Ah.Speaking of it, when the gods created Zuzhou, the ancestors of Gu Minglan and Mo Jingzhi were probably still a family.
