Hidden Blade Chapter 12: Yuwencheng
The early morning sun shot into Tiance Mansion.
The palace gate that has been sleeping for several years finally exudes vitality that has not been seen in many years.
Hou Ling commanded the Tiance mansion army to clean the dusty mansion gate, while Qin Keqing looked at the busy crowd and sighed for no reason.
"What's wrong? Sister Keqing?" Su Muan raised her head and looked at Qin Keqing suspiciously.
"It's okay..." Qin Keqing smiled and shook his head.
Her cultivation base still stays in the Danyang realm. By all accounts, she is already eighteen years old this year, the same size as Xu Han. She was bought into Linglong Pavilion at the age of twelve, and she has been practicing for six years. Although the path of medicine is different from the path of martial arts, there are still no small requirements for the realm of cultivation. Although Linglong Pavilion's requirements in this respect, although not too much practice is required, the realm is as strict as the disciples of Chongju Peak.
Qin Keqing's talent is not good, but she works very hard. Harder than many people, but still trapped in this Danyang realm for five years, this is actually a very incredible thing. The way of practice, the first three realms, Aquarius, Danyang, and the three yuan are actually incompatible. There is no big gap, as long as you are willing to spend time, as long as you have no hidden diseases, you can probably break through these three realms. The difference is only a matter of time.
Qin Keqing had produced his own inner alchemy two years ago, and he was still considered a middle-grade red alchemy, but he couldn't make it out of the three-dimensional realm. It was as if there was such an unknown thing in her body that kept her anger in check, preventing her from taking that step.
She was very distressed about this, and she thought of many ways, but in the end they were to no avail. Seeing everyone go further and further, the deep sense of powerlessness has tortured Qin Keqing more than once.
"Sister Keqing, are you thinking about the marriage between Palace Master and Sister Hongjian?" Su Muan looked at Qin Keqing and suddenly asked a question.
"Um..." Qin Keqing was taken aback for a moment, then flushed. "What are you talking about!" She took a sip of Su Mu'an and rolled her eyes.
Su Mu'an's mind is very strange. Seeing that Qin Keqing was reluctant to say this, she changed her conversation and asked, "Isn't Sister Keqing from Qingzhou before? Why didn't she go back to see her parents?"
Speaking of this, Qin Keqing's face was dark.
In fact, Linglong Pavilion has never restricted her freedom. Qin Keqing is kind-hearted, and did not blame her parents for what happened back then. When she was 16 years old, she took the money she had saved in the past few years back to her home. My parents are still alive, but my face changed when I saw her.
After welcoming into the house, the two elderly people looked at the thirty taels of silver that Qin Keqing handed over, but they were unwilling to accept it. Instead, they burst into tears and revealed the truth. Naturally, Qin Keqing was sold because the years were bleak and unable to survive. But the most important reason was that Qin Keqing was an abandoned baby they picked up in the wind and snow more than ten years ago, not out of her own. Only then did she pick her out of a few children and bought it. The old couple are kind in their hearts, but they are unavoidable to do something shameful in their embarrassment.
No matter how Qin Keqing persuaded the two of them to be ashamed and unwilling to accept the money, Qin Keqing could only return in anguish. Over the years, she would send some money back every year, but every time she thought of the appearance of her parents, or was afraid of embarrassment for both of them, or she could not accept the fact that she could not accept this fact, after all, she did not think about going home again.
Qin Keqing opened her mouth to say something at that time, but at that time there was a knock on the door in the direction of the palace.
Qin Keqing was taken aback, and hurriedly stood up. She wondered if Xu Han and Mr. Lu, who had gone to face the sacred, were back. Although the people in the mansion didn't have a word, they were a little worried. Qin Keqing didn't think too much, and quickly walked to the gate of the mansion and opened the courtyard gate.
But the eyes are not imagining the clean face of the young man, but an old man with a benevolent eyebrow.
At the age of sixty, a white hair mixed with black silk was meticulously groomed and strung with a wooden hairpin.
Wearing a gray gown, it seems that the thoughts are a bit old, and the washing is a little whitish, but it is almost spotless.
Qin Keqing was a little startled to see that the person was such an old man. She seemed to have never seen this person.
"In Xia Yuwencheng, please see the lord of the palace." But the old man arched his hand towards Qin Keqing very kindly, squinted and smiled. That appearance is like a spring breeze, hard to feel bad.
Yuwen? Qin Keqing is not stupid because it is the surname of the royal family. She will not despise the other party because of the clothes of the other party. The sudden arrival of the royal family at this time, coupled with the subtle behavior of the city of Chang'an now, Qin Keqing can't figure out the other party's thoughts, but she can't help but give birth. alert.
The old man seemed to see her doubts and was about to say something.
"Under..." He said so, suddenly as if he had felt something, his face changed slightly, his head suddenly raised and looked at Qin Keqing's head.
At that time, his pupils suddenly dilated, and his body was shaken, and the half-uttering words stopped abruptly.
Seeing his appearance, Qin Keqing secretly thought that there was something wrong with the other person's body. Although the old man was unknown to me, Qin Keqing was kind-hearted and couldn't help asking: "Old man, what's wrong with you?"
With this soft call, Yu Wencheng came back to his senses as if he had just awakened from a dream.
He looked at Qin Keqing in a daze, before asking for a while: "Girl, what's your name?"
Such abrupt questioning of a person, especially a girl whose name is somewhat abrupt, but Qin Keqing hesitated slightly, still responded: "Qin Keqing."
"Qin Keqing? Ke Qing?" Yu Wencheng chanted the name, and nodded after a long while, "Good name."
"What about your age?" he asked again. Such inquiries were more abrupt than before, but the old man seemed to have no consciousness in this regard. Although he tried his best to make such inquiries look more common, he could hardly conceal the a little eagerness in the inquiries.
Qin Keqing frowned in discomfort~IndoMTL.com~ did not respond immediately.
At this moment, Yu Wencheng seemed to finally realize his gaffe, he smiled apologetically, and in other words: "The girl was born in the Taiyuan period? A person from Qingzhou?"
"How do you know?" Qin Keqing was taken aback when she heard the words, she didn't expect the old man to know her so much.
Obviously, Qin Keqing's answer has confirmed the old man's guess. The old man showed a satisfied smile on his face at that time, but he did not answer Qin Keqing's inquiry.
"The old man's mansion is in the west of the city, next to the Yuwang Mansion. If the girl encounters any difficulties any day, she can come and find me." The old man said so, and he left.
"Huh? Didn't the old man look for the palace owner?" She asked suspiciously, a little confused about the old man's weird behavior.
But at that time, Yu Wencheng said without looking back: "No, the old man has already seen the person he should see."
......
"What's the matter, girl Keqing?" Qin Keqing stood at the gate of Tiance Mansion, in a daze. At this moment, Hou Ling in the courtyard rushed over after hearing this. He looked at the gate of the deserted mansion, and asked a little strangely: "Is anyone here before? How did I hear you talking to someone?"
Qin Keqing came back to her senses, she looked in the direction where Yu Wencheng was leaving, but saw that the other party had long since disappeared.
"Well, an old man, a little weird, said that he wanted to see the palace lord, and suddenly changed his mind." She murmured, for some reason, her heart was a little uneasy.
"Old man? Who?" Commander Hou, whose mind was a little more crude than his appearance, did not notice Qin Keqing's abnormality.
"It seems to be called...what Yuwencheng..."
"Huh?" At that time, Hou Ling's face changed.
"Yu Wencheng? One of the Jiuqing of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zong Zhengyu Wencheng?"
