The bright moon sits on the ground

One year later, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is approaching.

As a celestial physiognomy serving the emperor, Meng Qiuze was supposed to participate in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, but he was going to find an excuse to decline.

After all, it is impossible for "Meng Qiuze" and "Pojun" to appear at the same time, but when the Three Pot Moon restarts, Pojun Xingjun must be present, borrow the power of the astrolabe, touch the destiny in the dark, and directly manipulate time Circulation,? Bring everything back to the right time.

The man in white with long sleeves walks around the corridor, the shadows of the branches are reflected on the red leaves between his eyebrows, and he moves slowly. He has a unique appearance, with an inconspicuous mole under his thin lips, with Smiling, with deep brows and eyes, and a straight nose, not like a native of the Central Plains.The most conspicuous is the pair of eyes: the pupil color is slightly different, one is light yellow, the other is dark brown, like two pieces of congealed amber.

When he turned the corner, Qi Yao was sitting in the courtyard, surrounded by maids, some holding bronze mirrors, some peeling fruits for her, some waving round fans for her, some gently hammering On her shoulder, and she looked at the county magistrate in front of her, feeling a little lost in interest.

Qi Yao is the daughter of the mistress of the Hesheli family, in this world, those who want to curry favor with her can line up from the palace to invite Xiantai.

After she ascended to the throne of queen, this situation became more and more frequent, and there were people who invited her almost every day.

She has a well-known hobby, that is, she likes to collect all kinds of gemstones, so most of the people who visit her door come to offer stones.Meng Qiuze turned sideways and disappeared, secretly guessing that this dusty county magistrate probably came to offer stones as well.

Sure enough, after several exchanges of pleasantries, the county magistrate took out a box, offered it with both hands, and said something in a low voice.

The waiting maid and Qi Yao glanced at each other for a short while. After receiving the signal, she moved forward lightly, took the box in his hand, and after confirming that there was no problem, she gently slid her white fingers and pulled out the latch. , Opening the lid of the box, she walked up to Qi Yao in a few steps, lowered her figure, and presented the contents of the box——Qi Yao lowered her eyes and only glanced into the box.

Her lips moved, and she asked: "Your Excellency just said that what you brought is a spring-colored emerald. I should remember correctly, right?"

The magistrate replied respectfully, "Exactly."

Qi Yao rolled up her sleeves and reached out to take the items in the box. The gems in the box shone brightly when they saw the light.There are two colors of purple spring and green emerald on the emerald. Meng Qiuze doesn't know much about these, he only knows that "spring" refers to purple red, and "color" refers to pure green. Spring brings colors", but, looking at Qi Yao's expression, she is not happy.

To the surprise of others, Qi Yao fiddled with the jadeite for a while, then threw it on the ground with her hands.

There was only a crisp sound, and the jadeite cracked two gaps and flopped a few times, like a stranded fish, it soon lost its life.

The county magistrate was stunned, then his face turned pale with shock, he couldn't help rushing forward, and asked, "What is the queen's intention behind this move?"

"My lord may have been deceived, it's a fake." Qi Yao smiled lightly, not panicking, she made a gesture, and the maid stepped aside holding the box, and the one holding the bronze mirror fetched it After Qi Yao wiped the handkerchief, he put it on the jade plate.

She swept her eyes in Meng Qiuze's direction calmly, and continued: "I am full of miscellaneous things, so I don't have time to explain it carefully to my lord. I will send someone to send a spring ribbon to your lord's house later. Make an apology. Wrap the silk and send it off to your lord."

Qi Yao's words were clearly seeing off the guests, and the county magistrate wanted to say something, but the maid who was called a "silk wrapper" came over and showed him a gentle smile, with a proper manner, and said "please ", the county magistrate followed her in a daze.

After all, Qi Yao had already found herself. After the county magistrate left, Meng Qiuze walked out from behind Liang Zhu.

This is not the queen's bedroom, so it is not private, and Meng Qiuze has not committed the crime of having private contact with the queen.His clothes brushed against the bushes on both sides, making a soft rustling sound. Those maids moved quickly and took away the emerald remains on the ground in a few strokes. Meng Qiuze knew that most of these maids were from Qi Yao. The people brought by Hershey have learned martial arts since childhood.

"Master Meng came to look for Bengong at this time, could it be that he wants to talk about the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven?" Seeing him, Qi Yao was not surprised, "A few days ago, Bengong already told Fifth Brother that Bengong recently He didn't feel well, so he didn't go, and he agreed."

In the final analysis, she also knew that this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was just a game of catching a turtle in a urn, and it didn't make much difference whether to go or not to go.

Meng Qiuze bowed and said, "I won't go into this muddy water, after all, being wise and protecting yourself is the top priority."

Only then did Qi Yao become interested, raised her hand to stop the maid who was waving the round fan, looked at Meng Qiuze, and said, "How do you say that?"

Meng Qiuze said: "Your Majesty has always hated the way of heaven and despised immortality, and the queen knows that. Your Majesty wants to get rid of Nie Qiu just to break the shackles in the hearts of the world. Now I live in Panxing Palace and concurrently serve as a celestial master. The expulsion of Autumn probably has the meaning of killing chickens and monkeys. Companion to the king is like companion to the tiger. In this deep palace, if the minister is not careful, he probably won't live until this time."

"Hey." Qi Yao laughed suddenly, "It's a lie. Don't you know if Fifth Brother wants to deal with you?"

She fiddled with the pendant on the handle of the fan, and sighed leisurely: "I just hate that I owe Master Meng a favor, so I can't pursue it carefully. Master Meng, let Ben Gong guess, do you want to ask Ben Gong to come out?" Idea, so I can find an excuse for you to decline the ceremony, right?"

Meng Qiuze was silent for a moment, then said: "The empress has learned from you, this minister has exactly the intention."

"It's not difficult. Shen E, bring a pen and paper." After the maid took the pen and paper and opened the ink, Qi Yao rolled up her cuffs to an inch below the wrist bone, dipped the pen in the ink, and wrote a line on the paper In beautiful words, muttering words in his mouth, he said, "Your Majesty has been worrying these days, and I venture to guess that he probably lacks an introduction. And Mr. Meng, just so happens to be the introduction."

Meng Qiuze took the thin piece of paper, and Qi Yao wrote in a simple and clear way, but with a few cursory words, she could clearly express her thoughts.

Measure the astrology, hand over the secret letter, and set the hexagram as a big culprit, using this as a breakthrough, so that Qi Qianyuan can find a chance to attack Nie Qiu.

He secretly remembered it in his heart, and then tore it to pieces. The maid handed over the water bowl in due time, and he threw it in.

"Thank you." Qi Yao said before Meng Qiuze opened his mouth, lowering his eyebrows, showing a warning, "I have already returned the favor. Master Meng has always known what to do and what not to do." What to do, I hope the adults will weigh it for themselves.”

Meng Qiuze's smile remained undiminished, and no clue could be seen on his face. He cupped his hands and answered fluently: "Naturally."

However, when he turned and left, and walked five miles away, the smile on the corner of his mouth gradually faded, like frost.

A few days later, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came as scheduled, and the vicinity of the invitation to Xiantai was crowded with people, rubbing shoulders and heels, and nothing could get through.

There are imperial aristocrats, merchant families, well-known and decent families who greet each other hypocritically, and there are also ordinary people who are stopped by the forbidden army and stand on tiptoe to get a better view. Other than that, no one knows Pojun Xingjun and Xu Lang were also among them.

Xu Lang didn't know their plan, so he asked in a low voice: "Mr. Xing, Qi Qianyuan doesn't intend to kill Nie Qiu in public, does he?"

"Qi Qianyuan will not let Nie Qiu die so easily. After all, he is also curious about what the 'Three Pot Moon' is." Po Jun motioned Xu Lang to look in different directions with his eyes, "to the east, the one leaning against the tree The blind girl in front of her is 'Don't kill'; the fat man with a beard five steps behind her is 'Don't steal'; The smiling brawny man is 'not lying'; the thin maid who shuttles among the crowd and pours wine for everyone is 'not drinking.' The internal guards have earned the title of Five Precepts."

Xu Lang looked over one by one. If Po Jun hadn't mentioned it, he probably wouldn't have been able to see that those people were masters at all.

He doesn't know martial arts, and has no idea about these things. Hearing this, he just said: "If Qi Qianyuan captures Nie Qiu..."

Po Jun gave Xu Lang a cold look, and said, "My movements will only be faster than theirs."

As long as you do it before that, deal with Nie Qiu directly, plant this matter on Qi Qianyuan, and then activate Sanhuyue.

If Nie Qiu was captured by Qi Qianyuan and put in a water prison, he would be tortured day and night, forcing him to tell how the "Three Pot Moon" fell into his hands and what it had to do with the legend. He hid it in the Where, instead of enduring such torment, it's better to tell him to give him a good time. After that, Nie Qiu will also think that the executioner Qi Qianyuan planted in the crowd killed him.

It was seamless.Po Jun thought, Nie Qiu would not be aware of their existence, and if he lived another life, he would obediently become a pawn.

Just as they expected, it was nearly [-] o'clock, but the sky was still pale, like the skin of a person who had not recovered from a long illness. Nie Qiu stood aside for a long time, wearing the heavy priestly attire, with downcast eyes. Qi Qianyuan announced the start of the ceremony.

Except for him, everyone knew that this long-simmering storm was coming, so they all bowed their heads in silence.

After that, things are logical."Meng Qiuze" in the palace sent someone to hand over the secret letter. After reading it, Qi Qianyuan's face became serious-he was really good at this kind of trick-and then, Qi Qianyuan used the ominous hexagram as an introduction to make things difficult for Nie Qiu in public, Consciously or unintentionally, he diverted the topic to the side of the rumors, and after Nie Qiu took the bait, he summoned Wen Zhanxing to confront Nie Qiu face to face, forcing Nie Qiu to admit to those trumped-up charges.Finally, Qi Qianyuan turned his wrist, pressed down with five fingers, and made a gesture.

It means that those "five precepts" placed in the vast crowd will restrain Nie Qiu and drive him into the depths of the prison.

The five people moved almost the moment Qi Qianyuan made the gesture, and the people who joined the fun didn't even react, they just felt a gust of wind passing over their cheeks, bringing a burst of residual warmth, and when they looked again, the people beside them People disappeared.

The skinny maid called "No Drinker" was the closest to Nie Qiu. When Nie Qiu confronted Wen Zhanxing, she had quietly put down the cup in her hand and walked around behind Nie Qiu. In order not to let him find out, She still kept a cautious distance.

It should be reasonable for her to do so, because Nie Qiu's martial arts are superior to hers. She hid in the crowd to hide her killing intent. Nie Qiu was distracted and couldn't find it for a while.However, it was such a distance that made Po Jun one step faster than her.

The fingers of "No Drinking" moved slightly, and the golden thread was woven between her fingers. With a skillful flick, it stretched into a sharp weapon that cuts iron like mud. Without any hesitation, she wanted to restrain Nie Qiu with her hands—the time seemed to be at this moment It became extremely slow, like a deep swamp, entwining her limbs and dragging her deep. The expression of "not drinking" was in a trance for a moment, and hot blood had already splashed on her face.

In the end what happened?For the first time she felt apprehensive.His Majesty's command is to capture him alive, and she was very sure that her golden thread was still some distance away from Nie Qiu. However, after that moment of trance, the golden thread in her hand had already cut Nie Qiu's throat.

Not only "no drinking", but the other four precepts stopped at the same time, and even Qi Qianyuan showed a look of astonishment on his face.

Among all the people present, only Xu Lang knew that it was Xingjun who stood beside her with cold eyes and lightly touched the golden thread.

Po Jun stood there, but no one saw his figure, his armor was not stained with blood, the astrolabe stretched out in his hands, and mountains and mountains rose from the ground, slowly rotating with Po Jun's movements, the last The outer layer is peeled off, and from a distance, it looks like a circle of sun discs, engraved with jerky and difficult to understand Sanskrit, looming, and emitting a halo as it shrinks.

He called out, "Xu Lang."

Xu Lang: "..."

Po Jun frowned, "Xu Lang?"

Xu Lang woke up like a dream, "What's wrong?"

Po Jun didn't know where he was going, so he had to remind him in a bad tone: "When will the time go back?"

"Four years ago." The emotion in Xu Lang's eyes was dark, and he calmed down, and replied in a low voice, "Four years ago, everything was not a foregone conclusion."

Po Jun raised his hand to touch the astrolabe, and the astrolabe quickly reversed, twisting the surrounding scene into a rope, like a painting blurred by water.The blood all over the place retreated back into the wound on the neck; Wen Zhanxing retreated to sit in the crowd silently; Qi Qianyuan sat back on his seat and closed the secret letter; the bustling crowd retreated down the mountain, and the Yaoxiantai became empty, as if nothing had ever happened occur.
