A knife in love

Chapter 2997

Although Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan had been listening to the old man in gray, they didn't believe what he said.When the gray-clothed old man mentioned that Bao Xi smelled a strange fragrance and his head became dizzy, the two of them trembled in their hearts, and they looked at each other in unison, thinking of the word "Ecstasy Tobacco" in their hearts.

Only the old man in common clothes continued to say: "After the woman in the Chinese dress finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the door. The eight women were divided into two groups, living around Bao Xi, and each of them held a lantern in their hand, leading him to go forward. When Bao Xi saw the woman in fine clothes walk with light footsteps, her body was like duckweed in the wind, she was unspeakably coquettish and cute, and she thought to herself, this woman is luxuriously dressed, and the other eight women in white clothes are not vulgar fans either. , Their owner must be a noble person, maybe a senior official who has retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. I have to make friends with him in a good life. I hope that the salted fish will turn around and become prosperous from now on. A high-ranking official can be a high-ranking official and a fine horse can be ridden!.

"Thinking of this, Bao Xi was overwhelmed with surprise. He had long since forgotten Leng Lin who was sleeping beside the fire, and was even worried that if Leng Lin would wake up, he would go to see the nobleman with him in a shameless manner. Okay. In Leng Lin, he was so drunk that he didn't even notice that the girls came and went back. Bao Xi heaved a sigh of relief, surrounded by eight women in white clothes, followed behind the women in fine clothes, and staggered out of the hall.

"Bao Xi walked out of the hall with the woman in Chinese clothes, and saw dozens of men in brocade clothes standing in the courtyard. At this time, his thoughts were all on getting promoted and getting rich, and he never thought of how they would appear in the barren hills and ruined temples." So many richly dressed people.

"The woman in Chinese clothes led Bao Xi into the yard. Four men in brocade clothes came forward to greet her. They all knelt in front of the woman in Chinese clothes and greeted her and Bao Xi. The woman in Chinese clothes smiled slightly and waved her right hand lightly. The man in brocade clothes stood up and stepped aside with his hands down. At this time, another tall man of eight feet brought a richly decorated carriage and walked straight to the woman in Chinese clothes and Bao Xi. The woman in Chinese clothes said to Bao Xi, please Let Mr. Bao get on the bus.

"Seeing this situation, Bao Xi felt more and more convinced that the owner of the beautifully dressed woman was a great nobleman. Thinking that he was about to climb a high branch and become a successful person from then on, Bao Xi was so delighted that he was so ecstatic. With the support of two brocade-clothed men, he triumphantly got into the carriage.

"When Bao Xi was standing under the carriage, he saw that the carriage was not small. After he entered the carriage, he realized that the interior of the carriage was even bigger than what he saw from the outside. The carriage was covered with a thick red carpet On the carpet, there is a red sandalwood table, on which there are eight colored snacks and four plates of fruit. The table is surrounded by fluffy brocade cushions. A strangely shaped lampstand hangs on the roof, on which a thick red candle is lit. There are several oil lamps nailed to the walls around the car. The candles and oil lamps illuminate the interior of the car like daylight, making the interior of the car more visible. Extremely luxurious.

"Bao Xi sat on the soft brocade cushion, feeling more and more proud. At this moment, the carriage moved forward slowly, and the interior of the carriage was so stable that it was almost impossible to feel that the carriage was moving forward. Bao Xi secretly I think, after meeting a nobleman, I have to deal with it carefully and try my best to please him, so that he can listen comfortably and not let him think that I have other plans. These rich and powerful people are all good people. I have to be careful in order to let him help me.

"After about a stick of incense, the carriage stopped slowly. A moment later, the wooden door of the carriage was pulled open, and someone outside the carriage said respectfully, please get off the carriage. Bao Xi walked to the door of the carriage, and saw the carriage There were four men in brocade clothes standing there, standing with their hands down. Seeing Bao Xi coming out, two men in brocade clothes rushed forward, standing on the left and right sides of the car door, and stretched out their hands to help Bao Xi get out of the car. Bao Xi just After standing still, the woman in Chinese clothes walked up to him and said, please Mr. Bao to accompany the concubine to meet the Patriarch.

"The woman in the Chinese dress made a gesture of invitation to Bao Xi while talking. Bao Xi nodded, followed the woman in the Chinese dress, and walked straight to the left. After rounding the carriage, he saw the situation in front of him , Bao Xi was taken aback, stopped involuntarily, trembled a few times, and couldn't believe his eyes.

"Although it was still night at this time, a bright moon rose at some point, illuminating the earth. Bao Xi saw a huge open space in front of him. There is a large-scale palace. There are countless soldiers standing around. These soldiers are wearing bright armor, holding knives and guns in their hands, and all of them look solemn and mighty."

Li Qiufeng and Murong Danyan heard the old man in civilian clothes say this, and they all thought of falling into the ecstasy formation set up by the demon monk Yao Guangjiao in Jingxin Temple under Hutouyan. .Murong Danyan lowered his voice and said to Li Qiufeng: "Brother Li, Bao Xi stumbled into the ruined temple on the barren mountain and saw such a strange scene, did he fall into the same illusion as we did in Jingxin Temple? "

Li Qiufeng shook his head, thought for a moment, and then whispered to Murong Danyan: "This person's words are cloudy and foggy. I don't know what his intentions are. We must deal with them carefully. As for the strange situations that Bao Xi saw, they seem to be related to us. What happened in Jingxin Temple is somewhat similar, but right now, Li can't judge whether he has fallen into the ecstasy formation or not."

When the two were talking, the old man in gray went on to say: "Bao Xi originally thought that the nobleman who invited him here was the husband of a woman in fine clothes, and this person was probably a senior official, but he didn't expect that such a gentleman would appear before him. A majestic palace, in terms of scale, is even bigger than the Forbidden City in the capital. Li Qiufeng was stunned when he saw this situation, and when he was at a loss, he saw a poor yellow man wearing a black veil The boy in the shirt ran over. Bao Xi saw the strange clothes of this man, and thought to himself, when I was in Liangzhou, I had seen a puppet show, and there were many stories about the court of the previous dynasty. The Huangmen eunuchs in the palace are secretly called Xiaohuangmen by the common people. These Xiaohuangmen have always served the emperor in the palace, why are they showing up here today?

"The more Bao Xi thought about it, the more puzzled he became. He even forgot to speak for a while, and just stared blankly at the distant hall in a daze. When Bao Xi was thinking about it, Xiao Huangmen had already walked up to the woman in fine clothes. Putting the tip of the whisk on her shoulders, she said respectfully to the woman in Chinese clothes, the Empress Dowager was discussing some important matters with several adults, and she ordered Shangguan Zhaorong to lead Mr. Bao to the side hall and wait for the ministers to leave , it will not be too late to meet the Empress Dowager.”
