Nightfall Chapter 221: Legend of Xiaolou (Part 1)
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 221 The Legend of the Small House (Part 1)
Speaking of idiots, Dao idiots, there are two people in Chang'an who like to curse idiots the most, one is His Majesty the Emperor of Tang, and the other is naturally Ning Que.
It's just that when the emperor scolds people for idiots, he always scolds people regardless of the situation and the situation. The scolding is open and bold, but Ning Que is accustomed to talking with Sangsang with a mean tone and quietly criticizing others as idiots, from the inside out. He is so small, so today he was able to scold Chao Xiaoshu as an idiot with his majesty in the palace. He was very excited and excited, and the spit stars splashed around.
The word "idiot" was flying like rain in the secluded palace, making the empress empress and Yiying **** maid surprised and funny. They closed their mouths tightly to prevent themselves from laughing, but this scene was a bit embarrassing after all , The queen winked at the female officials beside her, and quietly left the palace with the ladies and eunuchs.
I don't know how long it took, the monarch and the courtiers in the palace finally vented their grievances against Chao Xiaoshu, and stopped panting, the ending of the word idiot gradually rising and quieting.
The emperor picked up a square towel from the couch, wiped the sweat from his face, and looked at Ning Que, with a satisfied look in his eyes. As a generation of Mingjun, sometimes he was inevitably bound by the word Mingjun. Today, being able to find someone to scold him with him is very comforting and joyful.
"What's the matter with that little maid in your family? Before the Oracle left Chang'an, he didn't explain the matter clearly to me. How did you discuss it?"
The emperor tapped the case table and motioned to Ning Que to drink tea by himself.
Ning Que picked up the tea bowl, but didn't drink it right away, and replied: "It is tentatively scheduled to be three years later. If Sangsang wants to go to Xiling, he will go."
The emperor asked: "Tell me the story of your little maid. Why did you suddenly become a lady in Zeng Jing's mansion? Why did you suddenly become a great priest of Guangming again?"
Ning Que drank a sip of tea to moisturize his throat, carefully selecting Sangsang from the pile of corpses beside the road back then, and telling him about his experiences over the years.
The emperor was silent for a while, and said with emotion: "This kind of life experience is really bizarre and unspeakable. The love between her and you is also rare in the world, you have to cherish it."
Ning fault nodded.
The emperor looked at him and asked, "Why didn't she come to see me with you today?"
Ning Que said: "She went to play in the princess mansion. His Royal Highness has always been in a good relationship with her, and the little prince didn't see her in the next few days, so he thought a little."
The emperor frowned slightly as he listened to his explanation.
Ning Que understood where his majesty’s worries came from, and said after a moment of silence: "Your Majesty, although these things are world affairs, they are family affairs after all."
The emperor was silent for a while and asked: "What can the master say?"
Ning Que shook his head.
The emperor sighed and said, "That is true, with the teacher's temperament, how can I care about such annoying things."
The hall is quiet.
I don’t know how long it took, the emperor looked into Ning Que’s eyes and suddenly asked: "I want to know, what is the grudge between you and General Xiahou?"
Ning Que didn't think about it, shook his head and said: "There was no hatred before going to the wasteland."
"That is to say, after going to the wasteland."
The emperor looked at him and said: "That's why you killed a military adviser in Tuyang City."
Ning Que knew that His Majesty was referring to the death of Gu Xi, and after thinking about it for a moment, he said: "The minister does not know what his Majesty is referring to. It is Tang Luli's death crime to kill military advisers without authorization."
The emperor stroked his beard and laughed, and said with a mockery: "Even if you refuse to show any handle in front of me, you probably have been a cautious guy like you in the college these years."
Ning Que replied with a wry smile: "Some things cannot be done."
The emperor said: "Then you give me a reason."
Ning Que said: "On the wasteland, General Xiahou's subordinates pretended to be horse thieves and wanted to kill me. The general himself was waiting to kill me in Hulan Haibei."
These two things have already been known to the court through two channels, the Dark Guard and Tianshu, but apart from reprimanding them, the court did not take any measures against Xiahou.
The emperor put the silk scarf on the case and said: "You should be very clear that the way Mr. Da handled it at the beginning is what I meant, and you should understand what I mean."
"I don't have any resentment, I'm just puzzled, why the big figures of the emperor's army always refuse to let me go. I don't understand where the military's hostility towards me comes from."
Ning Que said: "First of all, General Xiahou wanted to kill me on the wasteland. I can understand that the temptation of the scriptures of the heavens and the Ming scroll dazzled his mind. What about General Xu Shi? Old general? I was a great minister of the empire, but tried to attack my little maid. Now it seems that I have a lot of dissatisfaction with me. I was also a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, so I don’t understand why the old general is so wary of me."
These words are very clear.
Whether it’s taking care of the empress’s emotions or considering the stability of the empire, coupled with the Xiling Temple peeping out, as long as Xiahou is willing to resign and return to the old, and the academy has agreed, then His Majesty will definitely not treat Xiahou The general made harsh punishments.
Ning Que indicated that he could accept this kind of decision, but he wanted to let His Majesty the Emperor know that he could not accept the faint oppression from the Tang military. He wanted an explanation.
The emperor was silent for a moment and said: "General Xu Shilao is undefeated in this life, but he can never lift his head in front of the young master. It is natural to be hostile to the academy. As for why you are so wary of you, I I don’t know, maybe he needs to be asked about this matter."
Ning Que thought that although he is now a student on the second floor of the academy, it would still be a tricky behavior to question the first person in the Datang military in person.
The emperor didn't let him stay in this emotion for too long. He stood up from the couch, his sword eyebrows gradually raised, and when he looked at him, he said in a clear voice, "Did you bring that thing?"
Ning Que raised his hand and touched the hard object in his arms, and said, "Take it."
"That's good, I will take you to a place."
The emperor flicked his sleeves and walked outside the hall.
……
……
It is the spring evening, and it is the most fascinating time of Chang'an City. Walking in the palace, you can see blooming spring flowers everywhere, green leaves growing, quiet lakes without waves, occasional pavilions and pavilions.
His Majesty the Emperor did not bring any entourage, nor did he travel with any guards, but took Ning Que alone, leaving the palace and walking towards the depths of the Imperial Garden.
The **** and palace lady I met along the way, retreated in awe and silence, and then looked at the two figures moving away, with a look of surprise and confusion on their faces.
The people in the palace are the most savvy figures. Of course, I know that the young man in black next to the emperor is the legendary Ning Que Ning, but they don’t understand. Your Majesty will bring Ning Que with you. Where to go, why didn't a person around me stay.
In the depths of the imperial garden, there is a small two-story wooden building, painted with vermilion lacquer, very delicate, but compared with the towering palace in the distance, it still shows a little shabby atmosphere.
The emperor brought Ning Que to the front of Xiaomulou and said, "It's here."
Outside the small building, there are many green trees and wild flowers in full bloom. Obviously, they haven't been pruned for a long time. Ning Que looked at the grass growing between the stone bricks under his feet and thought that probably even very few people would come here.
Then he raised his head and looked around, his eyes touched the imperial city wall, confirming that this small wooden building was not only in the center of the imperial garden, but also in the center of the entire imperial city.
The emperor opened the door of Xiaomulou and walked in.
Ning Que also walked in.
After entering the small wooden building, the Emperor did not climb up the stairs, but walked downstairs.
A dark passage stretches into the depths of the wooden floor.
Ning Que looked at the dark passage and couldn't help raising his brows, thinking that it was indeed the most important place in the Tang Empire, and there was nothing new at all.
……
……
In the hard stone wall of the passage, there are things like Ye Mingzhu, exuding a faint light, which does not make people feel scared, but makes people feel at ease.
Ning Que followed his Majesty and walked downstairs, looking at the night pearls beside him, thinking that he could buy Songhe Tower at random, and thinking about the shabby one above. The two-story small wooden building in the city became more and more boring for the person who built it back then.
Thinking about these and not, suddenly his pupils shrank slightly, and he looked up the stone wall vigilantly, only to see a few deep lines appearing at the front of several crystal-clear pearls.
Those lines contain an extremely neutral yet indifferent and strong aura. It seems that as long as it exudes, it can crush everything in the passage into dust.
Ning Que sensed this breath clearly, and took a breath of air in shock. He is a man of runes, of course he can understand that these lines are runes-these runes are very powerful, but they seem to be somewhat Incomplete, these lines on the stone wall are just fragments of the original runes.
He looked at the lines on the stone wall and estimated the time of existence, silently thinking, what kind of state has the former sage who carved these runes thousands of years ago reached, and can maintain the runes for such a long time. Can a rune master like a master do it?
The emperor noticed his expression, raised his head and looked at the stone wall above. After a moment of silence, he said with emotion: "The first time my father brought me here back then, I was as shocked as you are, I can only vaguely feel When these runes are so powerful, they don’t want to come here often."
"What are the trigger conditions for these runes?"
Ning Que is worthy of being the descendant of Master Yan Se. He raised the most critical question. Even if the man who carved the runes a thousand years ago was a rune master, how can he still make runes after his death? Staying power? You must know that not every Datang State Master is a Talisman, and not Li Qingshan today.
The emperor said: "There are no conditions. Anyone who enters the passage will be killed by these runes."
Ning Que asked puzzledly: "Anyone?"
The emperor nodded and repeated calmly: "Anyone."
Ning Que couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then your Majesty and I are not human?"
The emperor also laughed. After a while, the smile gradually converged, and he calmly said: "I am the emperor of Tang Dynasty, holding the seal of the country, and possessing imperial aura, so these runes must not hurt me."
Ning Que said, "What about me?"
The emperor said: "You are now the master of these runes."
……
……
(Today's state is not as bad as yesterday's, but it has been gradually recovered. The second chapter will come out before 11:30.)
