Tibetan beads

Chapter 1 Wedges
In the eighth year of Xinye's new business, in an inn in the border town of Liangchuan, a crowd of storytellers was flying, talking about the old things from half a year ago.

"The rebel army entered the city, and the palace servants fled for their lives. Emperor You was sitting on the dragon chair alone, and was secretly hurt. Suddenly a beautiful woman came in full makeup, and she couldn't help but be stunned. Concubine Xu did not leave!"

"But I saw Concubine Xu approaching, holding his sleeve, and asked in a mournful voice: 'Your Majesty doesn't want to be a concubine?' Emperor You was sour and pitiful, and replied: 'Why don't you want to love your concubine? It's just that the country is dying, and I don't want to implicate you. Love your concubine and go back, the Duke of Zhao, who is known as the teacher of benevolence and righteousness, will not hurt you...'"

"Concubine Xu said: 'Your Majesty, don't say it again. In the past, the concubine swore to live and die with your majesty, and now the concubine is here to fulfill the promise.'"

"...the two of them went to Yingtai together, and on this high platform built for the imperial concubine, drinking and having fun as usual, the figure was gradually engulfed by the fire..."

The storyteller told the story of the fallen emperor and concubine so sadly and movingly that some guests listened and sighed: "It is a pity and a sigh for a generation of beautiful women to die in this way!"

This statement was immediately opposed: "What's so pitiful, this demon concubine burnt herself to death for her cheapness! If she hadn't charmed the emperor, how could Da Zhou be subjugated?"

The guest in front argued: "That's not what you said. The policy of governing the country comes from the hands of the emperor and ministers, so what's the deal with the women in the harem?"

This person was indignant: "Don't forget, she has more than one death. Xu's first marriage to the King of Dongjiang, if not for her and her sister, the King of Dongjiang would not have had a rift with the court, so that the Li family would be wiped out! His sister Even more ruthless, because of the accidental ruined appearance, the anger of the Dongjiang King was not enough to kill people, but he even dragged out and whipped the corpse. Such a poisonous woman is unbearable!"

In this past, not many people knew the inside story, and everyone couldn't help but become curious.

"Xu Shi was the concubine of King Dongjiang at the beginning. I know about this, but the death of King Dongjiang is actually related to their sisters?"

"Xu's sister, is that the Pearl Princess? I rarely heard about her, so she turned out to be such a vicious woman?"

The people reacted like this, this person was greatly excited, and he immediately talked about the actions of the Xu sisters in Dongjiang.

What is the design to frame the Concubine Zheng, poison the heirs of the palace, provoke ministers with greedy words, turn around to betray the King of Dongjiang, etc.On the day of the Li family extermination, the Xu family entered the palace as a concubine, and also won the title of county master for her sister.

While talking endlessly, I suddenly heard a chuckle from the seat, which seemed to be mocking.

The person was excited when he said it, and was immediately displeased: "Who is laughing?"

Everyone turned their eyes to the corner. The man's hat on the head of the table was pressed very low, covering most of his face. Only the corners of his mouth were raised, and it seemed that he was smiling.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the man didn't even raise his head, and was drinking on his own.A scribe beside him replied with a smile: "It's nothing, my son will laugh if he wants to."

These words meant too much to dismantle the platform, and this person stared at him: "It's good to say it, your son suddenly made a sound, do you think something is wrong?"

He was unrelenting, and the scribe turned his head and glanced at him. Seeing that his son didn't stop him, he stood up and cupped his hands, ready to really demolish the stage.

"What Your Excellency said is very exciting, but I happened to have been to Dongjiang in the past, and my knowledge seems to be different."

"Oh? Where is the access?"

The scholar unfolded his folding fan and said, "First, Concubine Xu's father is Xu Huan, the late prefect of Nanyuan. He has only two daughters. He once intended to leave the eldest daughter to recruit a son-in-law to inherit the family business, and even the candidate has been decided. This is very good. , how did the Xu family become the concubine of King Dongjiang?"

In the audience, someone couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

The scribe smiled: "Because, the Xu sisters already have a good reputation, that Dongjiang King Li Da has coveted it for a long time, and took advantage of Xu Huan's death, and forcibly begged it. Only by destroying the appearance can we survive.”

Without waiting for everyone to be surprised, he immediately continued: "Second, the Li family exterminated the family because the King of Dongjiang had the heart of not being a minister. Don't forget, everyone, the original Prince of Dongjiang is someone else, this King of Dongjiang. It was the Jue who murdered his brother Cheng. His wolf ambitions have long been suspicious of Emperor You. How can the conquest of the army be controlled by the Houzhai? Don't take the drama seriously. This gentleman, do you think so?"

When he pointed it out, the storyteller laughed and said embarrassedly: "It's true that the emperor's self-immolation is true, but the story can be made up. All the guests are happy to hear it, and I can ask for a reward."

The crowd coaxed and laughed.

"It turned out to be fake, I said, how come they even know what they say, like hiding under the bed."

"Isn't it? I'm thinking that Mr. has never left Liangchuan!"

After a few words, the topic turned back.

"According to this, Concubine Xu Gui is also pitiful. She lost her father's protection and was first taken by the King of Dongjiang, and then taken by Emperor You."

"King Dongjiang forced the girl's family to self-destruct, no wonder he whipped his corpse!"

"The two sisters are helpless and have peerless beauty, so they must have suffered a lot..."

Seeing that he was robbed of the limelight, the man shouted, "Don't listen to his nonsense, he has only been to Dongjiang, and I am from Dongjiang, how could I not understand him?"

This drew everyone's attention.

The scribe laughed: "Yes, your Excellency is not only a native of Dongjiang, but also a clan of the late Dongjiang Princess Wei. When you are proud of the Xu family, the Dongjiang king will ignore the Zhengfei and treat the Wei family slowly. You hate the Xu sisters deeply and destroy the country and the family. It's understandable that the crimes are pushed on their heads."

Hearing this, the man showed panic: "How, how do you know..."

The scribe pointed to his waist: "I think you are still thinking about the glory of the past, and the family crest is reluctant to put away."

This person did not expect that in such a remote place, someone would actually recognize the Wei family crest, and in the strange eyes of everyone, his face turned red and white, white and red.

"It turns out that you belong to the Wei family, so if you say that, it may not be credible to poison Zhengfei and harm the children?"

"The one who harmed your Wei family should be the King of Dongjiang. Why should you be angry with two weak women?"

"That's it."

This man still wanted to argue, but no one listened to him anymore, and finally he became angry and went back to his room in anger.

No one cared about his departure, and everyone was still undecided, and asked the storyteller: "Since you can make up a story, it shows that you know a little about the Xu family. How did the Xu family get acquired by the Dongjiang King, let's make it up and listen to it."

The storyteller smiled and cupped his hands, and said, "If you want to listen, let's talk about it. Speaking of Xu, I have to mention one person. This person came from a poor family, but he is very talented. The last name is Fang, the first name is Wing..."

……

In the guest room upstairs, someone pinched his beard and commented: "This person is fair, and it seems that the world is not all blind people."

His tone of voice is rather strange, sharper than ordinary men, but not as soft as women, like... an eunuch.

As soon as he finished speaking, he was laughed at: "Lao Yu, don't touch your beard again, it won't grow back when it falls out."

Lao Yu glared at him fiercely, and complained to the person by the window angrily: "Miss San, look at him!"

There was a graceful woman sitting over there, half of her face was covered with a mask, and the other half was hidden in the shadows, so she couldn't see her clearly.

She didn't answer, her eyelids drooped and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Lao Yu smiled and asked softly, "What's wrong? Do they have a problem?"

The woman shook her head and said in a low voice, "No, I just think that person is a little familiar."

"Who?"

"That boy."

Lao Yu recalled that the gentleman that the scribe said, didn't say a word from beginning to end, only laughed.His face was covered tightly again, and he was dressed like an ordinary Jianghu person, so he couldn't tell the history at all.

"Miss Three..."

Suddenly there was a light knock on the window, another young man's eyes lit up, he took a few steps to open the window, and a lean man came in like a monkey.

"How?" he asked.

The man wiped his face and replied, "I figured it out, he will sleep in the second room on the south side."

Lao Yu was about to speak when the woman had already stood up and neatly took off the longbow on the wall: "Go!"

So the three of them kept their belongings in silence, and followed her through the window one by one.

Liangchuan Station is nearby, and the people in the inn don't know that there is a character in the story who is resting here tonight.

Fang Yi, born in a poor family, has few talents.At first he was Sima of Nanyuan, and after the death of the prefect Xu Huan, he took up his post.After Emperor You ascended the throne, the world was in chaos, first relying on the King of Dongjiang, and then voting for the Duke of Zhao.

Today, there are more than a dozen rebels against the king in the world, most of them have disappeared, and most of them have disappeared.Fang Yi was at the time of the spring breeze, and he didn't know why he appeared in this frontier place.

The man who listened to the news said: "They came to hunt down a person, and they were under the order of the Prince of Zhao Kingdom."

Lao Yu tutted: "Now is the critical period for the Duke of Zhao to become emperor. If the prince of the Duke of Zhao can be distracted, this person must be incredible."

But that said, they are not interested in this matter.

It doesn't matter who Fang Yi wants to kill, they only need Fang Yi to die.

When the four of them arrived, Liangchuan Yi was quiet, except for the sound of sleeping snores.

The lean man and the young man acted separately, and soon the flames were everywhere, burning half of the sky red.

The courier came out to shout people, and everyone in the inn ran out to watch the fun.

"Where is the water? It seems to be a post station?"

Someone was very fortunate: "We originally wanted to live in the inn, but a high-ranking official came and drove everyone out. Fortunately, otherwise it would be us who were burned at the moment."

"So, only that high official was burned?"

"Seems to be……"

"It really deserves..."

In the crowd, some people stared at the direction of the station, their expressions changed.

The scribe said softly, "Young Master?"

The man stepped forward: "Go and have a look."

Several dozen steps away from the station, he suddenly stopped.

The scribe followed his line of sight and couldn't help holding his breath.

On the abandoned city wall, someone was holding a longbow, like a falcon waiting.

The people in the inn were woken up, found a fire, and hurried out.

The man found something, and when he released his hand, the arrow pierced through the air.

The target fell in response.

"Master Fang! Master Fang!" the guard shouted a few times, but got no response.

"Miss San!" Lao Yu shouted excitedly, "Hit, hit!"

The woman jumped off the city wall: "Go."

The fire was burning around, and the yard was empty.

The woman walked to the body and squatted down to take a breath.

At this time, the corpse suddenly burst out, and a burning pillar happened to fall, and the woman had nowhere to retreat, and he was grabbed by the neck.

Lao Yu was shocked and wanted to rescue, but he blocked the pillar and shouted, "Miss San!"

The woman was under the control of others, but she was not afraid, she only said coldly: "Fang Yi, your time of death has come."

Fang Yi was bleeding from nose and mouth, and his handsome face was twisted like a ghost. He was shocked and angry: "Xu Yin, I didn't expect you to be alive!"

"You haven't died, how can I die?" She smiled slightly, "I have to send you to Huangquan to apologize to my sister!"

"Then you don't even want to live!"

The woman laughed out loud: "I can't live in the first place, isn't the golden silkworm poison on my body that you put on it? You poisoned me, forced my sister to enter the Dongjiang Palace, and made her suffer a lot. Why, pretend to be pure and good. Have you forgotten about yourself?"

Fang Yi's pupils shrank: "You..."

"Even if I don't die today, I won't live for another year and a half. I'm so happy that I can make you lose the great future you dream of before I die!"

After that, she pulled out the dagger in her sleeve and slashed it backwards.

……

In the firelight, she touched her neck, which seemed to be bleeding a lot.

It turned out that before my sister died, this was how I felt.It doesn't matter, their sisters can finally meet under Jiuquan.

Before closing her eyes, she seemed to see someone breaking through the fire and rushing in.

"Xu Yin! Xu Yin!"

Who is this?How do you know her name?
She wanted to open her eyes, but she had no strength, so she slowly fell into the darkness.
