The First Beastmaster of the Nine Realms

Chapter 196

Xiangfu, Xiyuan, Luandiezhai.

Luo Bin, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, knelt on the ground, not daring to make a sound, his head covered in cold sweat.

He didn't even dare to look up.

Nobody is talking here.

In the ear, there are only two voices.

The first one is the rustling sound of ink-stained brush strokes on fine rice paper.

The second one is the voice of the maid grinding ink, the voice is very soft, but it is regular, as if it is tireless.

Liu Xiang reads and writes, and hates being disturbed by others.

He knelt on the ground for an unknown how long before he waited for Liu Xiang to speak.

"Shanqing, go down."

Luo Bin raised his head secretly, saw the maid put down her things quietly, saluted, and went out the door without turning her eyes.

Having been here many times, he already understood the reason why these maids never spoke—not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't.

On the first day of entering the mansion, he was made dumb.

They could not say a single word about their master.Two years ago, in this mansion, Liu Xiang's personal maid was coaxed by a spy sent by a Beijing official, and she nodded and shook her head to answer a few questions. The cracks in the bricks have not been washed away by the rain until today.

... The self after today will probably die even uglier than this - but, this is what he deserves.

"Brother Xuechun," he heard Liu Xiang called his name in a very gentle manner, and said, "Master Jiang's inscriptions are really inscrutable. As soon as he came here, he was fascinated..."

Luo Xuechun's lips trembled even more.

Fascinated for an hour?
I'm afraid that I have the heart to kill him.

He raised his head slightly, and moved his eyes to Liu Xiang——Liu Mingyue's face again.

If you don't say it, no one would think that the current chief minister of power and treachery, the notorious Liu Xiang, has such a name and such an appearance.

As the name suggests, she is as tall as a willow, as bright as the moon, and as beautiful as a woman.

But he is more famous for his words and the horrors he represents.

His word dream come true.

An ambitious word.

When he became an official, no one thought his dream could come true. Unfortunately, Liu Mengcheng's dream came true.

This is a person who climbed to the position of prime minister in six years.

Because it took him three years to defeat the largest remaining clan power in the first dynasty, removing obstacles for the emperor.

It took another two years to please the current emperor and prince.

He can fulfill ten points of orders from the emperor.

When the emperor travels, he will send people to pretend to be ordinary people, shouting long live; when the emperor mentions something delicious in the palace, he will spend a lot of embezzled money, a lot of people's fat and anointing, and get some rare treasures to make the emperor happy; If he mentions in a private meeting that he doesn't like any official, but within seven days, this person will either have an accident or resign.

Therefore, the emperor treats Liu Xiang as if he treats his parents and children.

This official was almost the emperor who held Liu Mingyue by the collar and put him on the prime minister's seat.

Today, the reason why Liu became so angry with Luo Xuechun was very simple.

The emperor's [-]th birthday is approaching, and now the emperor believes in magic pills and mysteries, and Liu Xiang is quite worried that he can't meet his favorite.

It was Luo Xuechun who took the initiative to solve problems for the prime minister. He said that there was an old fairy in his hometown who knew how to keep in good health. It is said that if he ate it, his ears and eyes would be bright immediately, and his life would be extended for five years. He could just give it to the emperor as one of the gifts.

Liu Xiang was very happy and asked him to bring the things first before making plans.

But his mind was muddled, and he directly included this uncertain thing in the gift list that he would present to the prime minister, and it happened to fall out of his sleeve when he was saluting the emperor.

The emperor saw it.

He was very happy, and what he was looking forward to the most was this longevity pill.

He was so frightened that he hurried back to look for it himself, and almost dug three feet into the ground, but... he couldn't find it.

Liu Xiang glanced at him, removed the paperweight, and showed him the rice paper.

"Do you know?"

Iron painted with silver hooks, dripping with ink.

"Master Jiang's "The Monument of Family Sacrifice"." Luo Xuechun replied honestly.

This character is too murderous, and it is not written like a sacrificial text, but rather like a call to action for a crusade.

Liu Xiang praised: "Sure enough, you are knowledgeable and talented. Then, do you know where this monument is now?"

Luo Xuechun searched frantically in his mind, but couldn't remember it.

"Your official... I don't know, I dare to ask the Prime Minister for advice."

"This is the stele that Mr. Jiang built before his death. I don't know where he and the stele went after his death."

Liu Xiang stood up and said.Gently handed the rice paper in his hand, "I'll give it to you. You can go back, but you have to think about it... the answer to this question."

Luo Xuechun walked to the entrance of the main hall in a daze, passed by people, saw a small piece of dark color in the floor tiles, and suddenly understood Liu Mingyue's hint.

Jiang Xianshi was finally killed by the emperor at the time, not to mention his monument, his family temple, and his blood.

He didn't know what the meaning of this letter was given to him?

If you stay, you will be the Zhu Jiu Clan.

He rushed home, drafted his resignation overnight, and dismissed all the servant girls.

West Park.

Liu Mingyue squatted beside Takeshita Koizumi to wash her hands, when she heard footsteps coming from far behind her.

He stood up, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, wiped his hands, and turned around.

"Why is the teacher free to talk to the students today?"

Chai Feng looked at the young man in front of him with satisfaction.Although Liu Mingyue's stature was not high, the nourishment of power gave him a sense of casual oppression.

"I didn't come here by hand. Are you free tonight?" Chai Feng said with a smile, "The hook caught a fish, why don't you, my teachers and students, have a little gathering?"

Liu Mingyue showed a trace of apology on her delicate and fair face: "Teacher, my parents came to Beijing today, and I have to accompany the two old people tonight."

Chai Feng didn't care when he heard the words, and laughed, "Mengcheng is still filial as always!"

Liu Mingyue said in a gentle and elegant way: "Teacher is absurd."

"Then let me just say it here." Chai Feng waved his hand, "I won't waste your time."

Liu Mingyue said: "Dare to ask the teacher, what kind of fish did you catch?"

"An unexpected fish came from Fanzhou River."

Liu Mingyue said: "Student... really didn't expect it. What did he investigate?"

"It's not a big deal, maybe I still want to find something against you and me. His stake is investigating the incident of you burning down the mountain in Chen County... What's the name of that mountain?"

Liu Mingyue's pupils shrank suddenly, and then returned to normal in an instant: "... Tiger Roaring Mountain."

"I think," he continued to speak slowly, with a pale face, "maybe it's not a trivial matter. After all, the Marquis of Fanzhou has some contact with that person, so he must have a plan for his sudden action."

Chai Feng was taken aback: "Then..."

Liu Mingyue said: "Using the set of fake files we prepared, I really want to know what he is going to do under my nose."

Chai Feng said: "Okay. I'm not worried about you. After all, you have been like this for so many years, and you don't want a woman to go home..."

Seeing Liu Mingyue's thin skin turning red, Chai Feng laughed out loud, and stopped teasing the student, turned around and left gracefully.

Liu Mingyue regained her expressionless expression, sighed a long time, walked slowly back to Luandiezhai, buried herself in processing the files for nearly two hours, and finally left the West Garden, walking faster and faster, almost jogging up.

As the sun was setting, he pushed open the door of Baoxuan Garden, panted slightly, and kept walking, opened the curtain of the pavilion, and got in.

A middle-aged couple sat inside, they were Liu Mingyue's parents. A bowl of noodles and some pastries were placed on the table.

Liu Mingyue's nose immediately turned sour, as if the tired bird finally had a home.

Hou Fuli.

Jian Baisan sat facing the setting sun, listening to the chatting of the maid serving the dishes.

"Today is the first day of March, and there are two more days until the third day of March..."

Jian Baisan was taken aback.

Leng Lianchi asked casually, "Does the Taoist couple also celebrate this mortal festival?"

"No..." Jian Baisan said, "I don't. I just remembered it suddenly. The first day of March is my sister's birthday."

Leng Lianchi said: "Daoist sister, have I met?"

Jian Baisan shook her head: "No."

But when it was mentioned, a gentle smile appeared on Jian Baisan's calm face.

Leng Lianchi asked: "Then what kind of person is she?"

Jian Baisan thought for a while, and said: "She loves reading, knows a lot of characters, and can draw and write. She has a big dream, she wants to be an official, and protect the people of the world—"

"But she is actually quite timid. She is not only afraid of ghosts, but also loves to cry."

"We have a very good relationship. When I left, she gave me a book with a willow leaf in it. I don't know what the willow leaf means, but she is very smart, so there must be some special meaning."

"The willow branch will live when it is planted in the soil. She hopes that wherever you go, the distinguished guest, it will take root!" The maid next to her prepared the dishes, smiled and inserted a sentence, carrying the food box, and left.

Probably more than that.

Folding willows and doubting the road is far away, use the watch to never forget each other.
