Capture the Jade:


Teng Yuyi waited for Biluo to warm up another pot of wine, and Chunrong said that the master was here.

East Wing originally did not allow male pilgrims to enter, not to mention it was getting late, but Teng Shao was Teng Yuyi's grandpa, and he explained the reason to Abbot Yuanjue before he came, so the temple not only allowed him to enter, but also specially sent two A little novice leads the way.

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan both stepped forward to salute Teng Shao.

"Grandpa."

"My uncle is blessed."

Teng Shao nodded to Du Tinglan: "Good boy, get up."

Then he turned his head to look at his daughter, she looked quite peaceful, if other children encountered such a thing, they would probably have been scared out of their wits. He was both relieved and sad, retreating and saying: "Live in peace in the temple for the past few days, you can't leave the guards by your side, just now my grandfather went back and discussed with the abbot, the Quanfang Pavilion is still being repaired, but there are The abbot has already agreed with Duan Fu to live in the meditation rooms, so he can come in time if you need anything."

No wonder grandpa came so late. Duanfu's body is different from ordinary people, this is something that many people know, such an arrangement is not afraid of causing trouble for other young ladies.

Teng Yuyi said: "Grandpa, Duanfu saw that man in black cloak today."

Teng Shao paused, and realized after a while that his daughter was talking about the person in the dream.

He was startled, the shock brought by these words was comparable to thunder.

"Where did you see it? Yuzhen Nuguanguan?"

Teng Yuyi nodded, walked to the gate of the courtyard and called Duan Fu in.

Duan Fu told Teng Shao exactly what happened during the day.

Teng Shao stared at Duanfu firmly, never had a moment like this, which made him feel absurd and frightened. Originally it was just a shadow in my daughter's dream, but now that person actually appeared in reality.

"What kind of martial arts is that man?"

Duan Fu is a martial idiot. Back then, he did not hesitate to turn himself into an **** in order to practice miraculous martial arts.

"It's a bit like the lightness kung fu of the Xiaoyao School, but it's not the same. The Xiaoyao School and Baguazhang come from the same sect, which emphasizes 'moving the body at will'. Every time they perform lightness kung fu, their posture is extremely swaying, but the movement of the black cloak man is obvious. A bit sharp."

Teng Yuyi was stunned. Could this be too coincidental? When Peng Yugui from Caifenglou pretended to be a Taoist, she once called herself "Xiaoyao Sanren". The hidden weapon of the man in black cloak is exactly the same.

She had long suspected that the two of them belonged to the same case.

It's mostly magic. As long as it is a shortcut, someone will come up with their own ideas, even if they know that this sorcery has countless harms, so Peng Yugui was already in his early twenties when he formally learned martial arts, but he learned it so well and so fast.

"Didn't you see that person's way?"

Duan Fu lowered his eyes and said: "At least this old slave has never fought against someone with such martial arts."

"You can't even see the opponent's tactics with your eyesight, so it can only be a new school." Teng Shao said in a deep voice, "To study the martial arts of a new school is probably because you want to raise 'soldiers'. Deliberately hold back The sharpness is just because the time has not come to show it. Martial arts pay attention to knowing yourself and the enemy. Once you have fought with others a few times, you will definitely reveal the flaws in your moves. This person has never shown this lightness skill in front of others, which shows that he does not want to show it before the official plan. Tell me."

This makes sense, Teng Yuyi raised her eyes to look at the Xuanpu Pavilion in front of her, and according to what Grandpa said, this black-cloaked man really looks a bit like the Peng family secretly raised him.

In the previous life, there were so many people with sorcery skills in Chang'an. After investigation, they were all "heavenly soldiers and generals" supported by Peng Zhen. It's just that they were all kept in the dark in the previous life, and she knew about it in advance in this life. That's all, the man in black cloak might be suspicious of what she knew, so he couldn't bear to act ahead of time.

But in the previous life when their master and servant were killed, the Peng family had already raised their troops, so what good would killing her do for the Peng family? After thinking about it, she still maintained her original guess that this person was not raised by the Peng family.

She told Grandpa all her conjectures.

Teng Shao remained silent.

Leaving aside the identity of the man in the black cloak, no matter how powerful this man is, how could he know that Yu'er dreamed that he would kill someone in advance.

Why would such a cautious person suddenly take action today...

Thinking of this, his complexion suddenly darkened. Could it be that during the period when he sent people to investigate the man in black, someone secretly leaked the news? The other party knew that they were investigating him, so they acted first.

But this matter was arranged by him personally, and the person was also selected by him.

Cheng An, Duan Fu, and Huo Qiu have served by his side for many years, and they are all swearing-in fighters. If there is something wrong, there are countless opportunities to frame their father and daughter, why bother to bring in a bunch of martial arts? A strong man in a black cloak.

It won't be the three of them.

He has led the army for many years and has always been invincible, so he still has the certainty of knowing people.

Which link went wrong.

Thinking about it carefully, after Ayu told him about this, his subordinates have been ordered to investigate for a long time. As time goes by, the link will inevitably become loose. His old gang is now also in high positions, and there are many people under his command... ... There are correspondingly many places where the air leaks.

But even so, if you want to get news from him, you need to understand the situation here.

Knowing something about...

His eyes became stern, and he quickly thought about all the suspicious people. For a while, he couldn't figure out where there was a leak.

"Tell me the escape route of that man at that time." Teng Shao said to Duan Fu, "Ayu saw that man in the dream under the moonlight, and today the sun is full, what is that man's black cloak? Material, there are strange noises on your body, you should think about it carefully."

Duan Fu responded: "The man did not hesitate at every intersection, as if he had planned his escape route in advance. The old slave remembered that he turned four intersections in total, but he was going to turn to the fifth corner. At that time, this person suddenly changed and turned to the right, and his pause naturally delayed his work for a while, if the old servant hadn't rushed back to Yuzhen Nuguan Guan, maybe he would have been able to catch up with him. The old slave remembers that the alley is Moer Alley."

"It was originally going to turn left, but it suddenly changed to the right..." Teng Yuyi pondered and said, "Either I am used to walking and subconsciously follow the original route, or there is another possibility that I deliberately confuse us..."

Du Tinglan snorted, "Moth Lane? This name is so familiar, where did I hear it?"

Teng Yuyi and Teng Shaoqi looked at Du Tinglan, Du Tinglan racked his brains for a while, and said helplessly: "I can't remember it for a while."

Teng Shao nodded and said: "It's not too late, Grandpa immediately sent someone to investigate. This person used to be in the dark, but now it's easy to say when he shows up. The more you investigate, the more flaws will be found."

Suddenly recalling what Abbot Yuanjue said today, he couldn't help turning his head to stare at his daughter, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Ayu, did you dream of your mother the day you drowned?"

Teng Yuyi was astonished: "Mother?"

Teng Shao forced a smile: "When you were four years old, you went to the Bodhi Temple on the shore. It was your mother who took you there, but you were too young at that time, so it's not unusual to not remember. Ah I just want to ask, did you see your mother in your dreams when you passed by the Buddhist temple by boat?"

Teng Yuyi's heart became confused. Ever since she woke up, there were only ghosts and ghosts in her dreams. She had never seen her mother who she thought about day and night.

She was absent-minded for a long time, and shook her head in disappointment: "I never dreamed of it."

Teng Shao was silent, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, Grandpa will go first."

***

Xuanpu Pavilion.

Peng Erniang looked at the table full of sweet and crispy meat, and kept mumbling: "It's a mistake, it's a mistake. Sister has prepared so many good things, and the two little Taoist priests don't even come here."

Peng Huayue calmly turned a page of the book, but did not answer.

Peng Jinxiu pouted, walked over and snatched the book from Peng Huayue's hand: "Ever since I came to Chang'an, sister has been reading all day long. Don't you think that Her Highness the Queen likes to read poetry and books?" My lady, I also want to hold my feet for a while. Our Peng family has been in the army for a long time, and even A Niang is the daughter of a general. Since we were young, we didn't like to study, and we couldn't learn well."

Peng Huayue glanced at her: "Bring it!"

She spoke so harshly that Peng Jinxiu was taken aback by the suddenness. She was always a little afraid of this twin sister, so she returned the book awkwardly, sat on the couch with her body tilted, put her head in front of her sister and whispered: "Hey When did Li Huaigu become so familiar with those two little Taoist priests?"

Peng Huayue sneered: "How would I know."

Peng Jinxiu played with the round grape-patterned silver sachet on her sister's waist: "I know why my sister is upset, you probably fell in love with Lin Chengyou—"

Peng Huayue was startled, and quickly closed her eyes and "hush": "Please keep your voice down. This is not in our own mansion, the walls have ears."

Peng Jinxiu giggled and teased sister in a low voice: "Oh, I see, sister wants to be a princess, don't worry, no matter who you fall in love with, my sister will not **** it from you. The one next door..."

As he said, he raised his eyebrows and glanced in the direction of the next door: "No matter how good Li Sanniang looks, no matter how much she studies, she will definitely not be able to compete with my sister. I heard what my aunt said last time. Her grandfather was just Teng Yuyi's grandfather in the past. One of the lieutenants under him was promoted because of several great achievements, how can such an upstart upstart be compared with our Peng family."

Peng Huayue's slender eyes slid towards her sister, a little impressed, she couldn't help but put down the book and said with a smile: "You, sometimes you are confused and sometimes smart."

She pondered for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Then what about the one behind? Her family is a generation of meritorious service."

Peng Jinxiu knew that her elder sister was referring to Teng Yuyi, blinked her eyes twice and said: "I was about to tell my sister about this, instead of guarding against Li Sanniang, my sister should pay more attention to Teng Yuyi, let alone her grandfather Teng Shao, Her grandfather, Teng Yuanhao, was an important minister of the country in Lingyan Pavilion. No one can shake the military exploits made by the father and son of the Teng family back then. In terms of prestige in the court, the Teng family has never lost to the Peng family. If the empress and Princess Cheng To choose a daughter-in-law, it is not uncommon to see Teng Yuyi, sister, do you still remember that the last time I proposed a name for the academy in Le Dao Villa, the Queen held Teng Yuyi's hand and asked for a long time..."

Peng Huayue nodded slowly: "Speaking of which, I can't understand Teng Yuyi. The last time she had such a good opportunity to show her face, she had rubella all over the place. The key is to do it without showing any traces... Jinxiu, tell me, Is she really unlucky, or does she have intentions?"

Peng Jinxiu was stunned: "Ah, I forgot if I didn't say it, sister. Rubella can be said to be a crime. If she has the intention to do so, it can only mean that she doesn't want to marry into the royal family at all... Look, sister, Teng Yuyi is serious." Eating, drinking and having fun every day is not like a person who loves to think about things."

Peng Huayue said again: "But don't forget, she and the Duan family have divorced. General Teng can't find a marriage for his daughter that is worse than the Duke of Zhenguo. Looking at Chang'an, apart from the royal family Of those few, which one has a higher family status than Duke Zhen's mansion?"

Peng Jinxiu shrugged: "Teng Yuyi even backed out of a good marriage like General Duan's. With such a temperament, it is not necessary to choose a high-ranking family. Don't forget that Zheng Pushe also wanted to recruit Lu Jinshi."

Peng Huayue was stunned, then smiled slightly and said: "That's right, say you are confused, sometimes you can see things more clearly than Sister."

Suddenly heard voices coming from the opposite side, it sounded like Li Huaigu sent Juesheng and Qizhi out.

Peng Huayue leaned over and looked outside, her face became pale again.

Peng Jinxiu could not help but become more and more surprised: "Sister, why do you care about Li Sanniang so much? As I said just now, her family status is far behind ours, and she doesn't look like a scrambler." .”

Peng Huayue sighed: "Did you forget what A Niang said when she taught us in Le Dao Mountain Villa? A delicate girl like San Niang is the most painful. You and I are so tall. Your lady, she has a bit of a temper, but look at Li Sanniang, not to mention her appearance and knowledge, she has such a good temper, whenever she sees her, she always speaks softly. A young gentleman like a prince probably likes such a young lady, and when it comes time to marry a wife, sincere liking is more important than anything else, no family background and prestige can be thrown away in front of a gentleman like them..."

Peng Jinxiu was stunned: "Speaking like this, it seems to make sense."

Immediately waved my hands and stood up: "Hey, you can grab yours, anyway, I only want my Royal Highness."

As he spoke, he walked to the bed and sat down to look at the pile of gorgeous, light and soft materials. While choosing, he said happily: "Sister, which one do you think is the best to use for the prince's sachet?"

Peng Huayue glared at her sister angrily, and didn't bother to answer the conversation, so she picked up the book and read it again.

***

Juesheng and Qizhi found out that Li Huaigu lived next door to Teng Yuyi, and when they came to look for Teng Yuyi, they specially brought the two tubes of high-quality Zihao from last time.

The two people found Li Huaigu's side, but they were suddenly stopped by the mother-in-law of the Peng family. The mother-in-law of the Peng family smiled and said that she wanted to ask them for some talismans, and invited them to sit in the room.

The two were eager to return the pen to Li Huaigu, so they said that they did not bring cinnabar, and even if they wanted to draw a talisman, they could only wait until tomorrow, so the Peng family let it go.

Li Huaigu didn't seem to expect that Juesheng and Qizhi would come to her, and he was a little surprised. Seeing the two of them approaching, he could only say: "I don't know that the two little Taoist priests will come. I originally wanted to go to the temple." Let’s take a walk around, let the trail leader come in and sit down. The servants are still packing their bags, and the room is a bit messy.”

As he spoke, he invited the two of them into the house, and he was polite, but he was not as considerate as Peng's family.

Juesheng and Qizhi secretly heaved a sigh of relief. They were most afraid that the maids and young ladies would treat them warmly. When I was young, I answered many times in a ignorant manner, but when I got older, I finally understood.

Fortunately, this Li Sanniang is calm and courteous.

The maids in the room were really busy arranging the suitcases. Juesheng and Qizhi were embarrassed to make trouble, so they hurriedly took Zihao out of their arms: "Miss Li San, we can't accept this. If you want to thank us for watching For the act of presenting amulets in Li, it would be nice to come to Guanli to offer incense in another day."

Li Huaigu quickly accepted the pen: "When I heard about such a tragedy in Xishi that day, I was also frightened so I was eager to ask for amulets. Zhou Xiang, that's fine, then I'll go to Guiguan to offer incense another day. I'm really sorry to bother the two trailheads to go there in person tonight. The trailheads should be hungry so late, why don't we eat something before leaving. "

Speaking and pushing the tea fruit on the table over, Juesheng and Qizhi waved their hands: "No need, no need."

Li Huaigu smiled: "Do you think the tea and fruits in the humble place are crude? I didn't expect the visitor to visit beforehand, and I really treated the two little Taoists slowly."

In this way, it was hard for Juesheng and Qizhi to leave, so they each picked up a piece of snack from the glazed cup and ate a mouthful. Unexpectedly, this dim sum is even more delicious than Mrs. Teng's house.

The two of them took a bite, and couldn't hold back another bite. At this time, the two maids in the room carried a bunch of things from the couch to the back room, and accidentally rolled a sachet ball, and the sachet gurgled all the way. Rolling over, it happened to land at Juesheng's feet.

Juesheng bent down to pick up the sachet, only to find that the sachet was quite old, the engraving on it was cracked, at least it had been used for more than ten years.

Abandoning wisdom and carefulness, I accidentally glanced at it, only to see two words vaguely engraved on it, with an "A" on the top and...

I didn't wait for him to take a closer look. The maid kept apologizing and came over to take the sachet. The two of them watched the room in such a mess and couldn't stay any longer, so they got up together and said, "I'm taking my leave."

Li Huaigu wanted to ask his maid to send the two of them out, but a young novice came to pass the message: "The abbot has passed the word that Naizhong might come to Teng Tanyue first tonight, in order to prevent the other three Tanyue from accepting it." Disturbance, please move the three Tanyues to the west wing immediately, there are no male guests staying in the West Wing Abode, so don't worry about moving Tanyues."

As soon as these words came out, the rooms of the Peng sisters and Duan Qingying suddenly became noisy, and the servants packed their luggage in panic, lest they stay in the east wing for a while.

Juesheng and Qizhi gasped, why didn't they listen to the abbot's arrangement before.

After the little novice said this, he turned to Juesheng and Qizhi: "Two little priests, Master Mingtong is in a hurry to find you, please go to the Sutra Pavilion as soon as possible."

Juesheng and Qizhi panicked, and they have not gone to find Mrs. Teng until now. What should they do now? It seems that they can only go back to the Buddhist scriptures pavilion first.

The two turned around to salute Li Huaigu and bid farewell, but they saw Li Sanniang staring fixedly at the direction outside the courtyard, her eyes were pale, and her complexion was also pale. The usual mellow arc is gone.

***

After Teng Yuyi sent Grandpa away, she waited in the courtyard, but Juesheng and Qizhi still did not come.

Du Tinglan heard the noise in Xuanpu Pavilion next door, and wondered: "What happened?"

Chunrong came back after inquiring about the news and said: "It is said that the three ladies are going to move to the west wing."

Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan were stunned: "Isn't the West Wing a residence for men only?"

Chunrong was also puzzled: "Say it was the abbot's decision."

Teng Yuyi asked again: "Where are the two Taoist priests?"

"It seems to be gone again."

Teng Yuyi was extremely surprised: "It's weird."

Juesheng and Qizhi would never leave without saying hello. If they left suddenly, they might be sent away by some urgent matter. After thinking about it, she decided to continue waiting.

The two sisters drank for a while, Du Tinglan gradually felt cold, Teng Yuyi didn't know what "cold" was since she practiced martial arts, but Du Tinglan was different, she couldn't stand it when she was sitting.

Teng Yuyi hurriedly said to Du Tinglan: "Sister, you should go back to the house first, the Taoist priest said earlier that he would copy the scriptures, but I don't know when he will come, I will wait in the yard for a while."

Du Tinglan ordered Biluo to fetch a cloak for herself, and reluctantly sat with her for a while, gradually even the stone bench felt a little cold, so she got up and said: "Sister, go back to the room to wash up first, don't wait too long, Sit for a while and go back to sleep."

Teng Yuyi agreed, and felt bored after drinking alone for a while, so he raised the cup high up, pretending to invite Mingyue to have a drink with him, just as he was having fun, he suddenly remembered what Grandpa said, his expression slowly dimmed, and he held his chin and thought After a while, A Niang felt so sad that she took out the Xiao Ya sword while she was drunk: "Little old man, I have something to ask you."

After saying this, Xiao Yajian didn't move, but there was a slight sound from the wall, Teng Yuyi was so frightened that he wanted to call Duanfu, but when he saw who that person was, his voice stopped abruptly.

The man was wearing a golden crown on his head and a round-neck shirt with a jade-colored treasure elephant pattern on his body. Standing under the bright moonlight, he looked very handsome.

This dress was only seen in the evening, and she is also very familiar with this person.

"Lin Chengyou?" Teng Yuyi was stunned.

Lin Chengyou jumped down from the wall, raised his eyebrows and said, "Juesheng and Qizhi said, do you have something important to tell me face to face?"
