Yizhi arrives

Chapter 8

In the prison in Luyi City, A Piao and I stared with wide eyes.

I was defeated first, "Ah Piao, it's useless for you to stare at me again, I am such a person, you should have known it a long time ago."

Ah Piao's eyes were full of tears, but she tried not to let them fall, and turned her head away from looking at me.I rested my chin and turned my head to the other side, not intending to reconcile with her.I only think about where Ji Yue is.

Suddenly, I found out that Ji Yue trained me half successfully and half failed in training me these years.

Success is because I have become like him, picky, cheap, and invincible, and failure is because I don't want to jump out of his Wuzhishan.I didn't have any special feelings before encountering such a scene of being imprisoned.But once the real disaster is imminent, I only want to find Ji Yue's shelter. I always think that he has secrets, because those secrets make him taller and more powerful.

There are the clanging of shackles, the screams of torture, and the abuse of prisoners in the prison... In short, it is not a good place to be in a daze.I was getting more and more irritable by the noise around me, so I took out a pickled greengage from my small purse and stuffed it into my mouth for some pleasure.It was so sour that the snot and tears flowed down the nose, which was very exciting.

"Sister Mi." Ah Piao called me resentfully.

I turned my head to look at her, she set her eyes on my purse, she looked like a child who couldn't eat candy, she didn't have the sulking posture just now.If my green plum is not used to people, it is not a delicious snack.But since she wanted to eat it, I felt sorry for her first, so I quietly handed her one, wanting to see what she would look like after eating it.

Ah Piao’s understanding of me must have been very superficial. I like to keep good things for myself. The poached egg was hidden under the bowl of Yangchun noodles back then, so after she took the green plum, she threw it into it without thinking. mouth.

"Hiss!" With a gasp, she immediately spit out the green plum again, and looked at me in amazement, with an expression of disbelief that I could hold the plum in her mouth without frowning.

"It's sweet until the end." I felt distressed and warned her, "If you dare to throw it away, I'll pick it up and press it into your mouth."

"..." A Piao stuffed the plum back into his mouth again with a bitter face, scratching the straw with sourness, his appearance was very cute, and I was in a good mood immediately.

When he was grinning comfortably, he happened to catch a glimpse of a person imprisoned in the next cell. The calf, the ankle is very thin, strange and scary.But his pair of shoes are very delicate, the black waterproof satin is also embedded with a circle of mink fur, you can see that the inside of the shoes is also mink fur, and the side of the shoes is printed with the dark pattern of Chaoyun Pavilion, which is the same brand as the pair that A Piao often wears , worth thousands of gold.

Such a strange prisoner couldn't help but take a few more glances to see what he looked like.His head was turned to our side, and he lay face down motionless, as if he was silent, but I could still vaguely see his cold eyes through the strands of hair that covered most of his face.

"Ah Piao, won't that person over there die?" I don't know whether I was frightened by the aura of the prisoner or I frightened myself, so I had to lean next to A Piao, and several people watched together Can embolden.

Ah Piao looked over belatedly, and gave a disgusted "Hey", unwilling to look any further, pulled me to move to the other side of the cell, "Sister, don't look."

I am as timid as a mouse, but I have the curiosity of a cat, and I crouched in a corner and looked at it intermittently, taking it as a kind of pastime.The cold war between Ah Piao and me also ended with a green plum, "Sister Mi, I finished eating the plum, can I spit out the core?"

"Don't spit on my side, you throw it next door, I think it's dirty."

"Sister, when you are in the prison, the straw and walls are cleaner than my saliva?"

"..."

"Sister, let me tell you something about the capital." A Piao spit out the plum core and threw it outside the cell, feeling very bored.Girls like to talk when they are bored, no matter whether the content is nutritious or not.I nodded while looking at the still untouched prisoner next door, which was boring anyway.

She said: "There is a Fuming Lane in the north of Seventh City, and at the end of it, there is a yellow beef restaurant. Decades ago, when the current emperor was still alive and well, he often went there to eat yellow beef in private. Sister, if you have If you have the opportunity to go to the Seven-day City, you must remember to try it.”

I laughed at her: "You just know how to eat."

Ah Piao squinted at me, the meaning in the big eyes was, is there only one foodie here?

She actually knew that I like yellow beef the most, and I was a little moved.

Then she talked about some gossip in the palace, such as the emperor's eldest son, King Fulu.The Great Zhou Dynasty had the custom of setting up a prince. If he was crowned king, he would not be the candidate for the prince. If there were no accidents, he would not be the emperor for a lifetime.There are many rumors about the fact that the former empress’s son-in-law was not allowed to be the prince. One said that King Fulu was extravagant, the other said that King Fulu was brutal and violent, the third said that King Fulu had a problem with IQ, and the fourth said that King Fulu had a problem. Juicy disease... what could be the reason?
We struggled until midnight, and vaguely heard someone walking in, some distance away from us, a yamen servant said: "Bring the person out." Then he heard the sound of footsteps, and finally approached me and A Piao cell.I opened my eyes suddenly and stared straight at the door, because I thought it was Ji Yue who had come.

There was no figure of Ji Yue by the door, just an old Wang, I asked him: "Is my master here?"

Old Wang was still hostile to me, so he snorted coldly: "You think too much."

"..." Then why did you come to open the door?
Ah Piao asked: "Then can we go home?"

"You're thinking too much." There was this sound again, I hated him so much that I wanted to put his head in the crack of the door!
Old Wang came over, we didn't have any shackles on our hands, so we could move very easily. In a moment of thought, I wondered if I could beat this fellow and escape from prison.At the critical moment, Lao Wang said: "Hurry up, Lord Shi Yushi wants to see you."

If you have something to say, you won't say it early! ! !
Rukong's bald head is like a night pearl in the dark night.

I have never believed in Buddhism, nor do I have any beliefs, but if I insist on finding one now, I think I believe in the master in front of me very much.

"Monk serves Master Yushi!" I called him excitedly, if there was a tail growing on my buttocks, it would be the little fragrant wind that swayed and fanned out.

Rukong looks at me without smiling, but it looks better than smiling, and it makes people feel like a spring breeze. He really should be a monk by nature, with his gestures, no, even if he sits still, there is a kind of tranquility strength.I rubbed my hands against my clothes, feeling suddenly embarrassed.

Ah Piao was pulling at the hem of my clothes again, and I turned my head to see that she was already kneeling on the ground, signaling that I should hurry up and salute, with a look of hatred on her face.

I suddenly came to my senses, and Pu Tong also knelt down and bowed to him: "The villain sees the lord."

Fat Zhixian is not here at the moment, we are in a side courtyard of the yamen, which is probably a place for temporary rest.During the day, Fat Zhixian also asked Rukong to go to Xiangshan Temple to rest earlier, but it turned out that we had an oolong, and he seemed to have never been able to go up the mountain.

Thinking about it this way, I am very sorry.If A Piao knew that I felt sorry for this matter, she would definitely say that I have the opposite sex and no humanity, and then she would get angry with me again.

I just heard the sound of knocking the chime like a jade in the sky and said: "Amitabha, the two female benefactors got up and spoke. The poor monk is only a monk and cannot afford such a big gift." He also came over sincerely and helped me and Apiao. Bundle.I took advantage of this opening to look up at Rukong's face, it was really bright and bright, with fluttering cassock, wide robe and wide sleeves, calm in speech and smile!
A Piao kicked me quietly, kicking me back to reality, A Piao said: "I don't know why my lord summoned the two of us late at night?" Her tone was full of guard and suspicion.

Rukong had a string of walnut-sized Buddhist beads wrapped around his left hand, and he kept holding them in front of his chest to pick out one by one. He invited us to sit down, and then said: "The poor monk sees that the two female benefactors are about the same age, so I would like to ask a question." , the two female benefactors are both 13 years old this year?"

"..."

"..."

God has the ability to see through everything, I opened my eyes wide to see nothing, and the circles of golden light on the back of his head appeared again.

His eyes lightly fell on my face, and he said again: "Is the female benefactor afraid of being selected as a show girl? Actually..."

"My lord, you must pay attention to evidence." A Piao interrupted Rukong rudely.

I really want to hear what kind of words he can say later, but Rukong obviously doesn't intend to continue talking, and this has become a mystery that I will never know.He took out a thick book with a gold silk cover from his wide sleeves, bowed his head and carefully flipped through the pages one by one, I stretched my neck and leaned over to look, eh, they were all girls' faces, meticulously drawn, Quite realistic, with the name and birth date below!

Co-authoring Rukong is not the light of the Buddha, but the preparation!

"My lord... this is..."

Looking at the roster in his hand, I guess what Rukong just thought "actually" is that it's useless for you to be afraid, the poor monk has a roster here!You cannot escape.

So the current emperor is serious about drafting girls this time, but everyone between the ages of 13 and 17 must be caught one by one by face?This is too grand.

After a while, Rukong found the portraits of me and A Piao, and put them in front of us without saying anything.

Song Xiaomi, Song Zhipiao, word for word, the key is that the face on the paper is lifelike, facts speak louder than words.

I took the opportunity to take a look at A Piao's birthday, and it was really half a year younger than me. Of course, the premise is that our birthdays are all true.Ji Yue said that my birthday is the day he picked me up.It is an April day in the world where the grass grows and the warblers fly.

Ah Piao's eyes were locked on the roster, but he couldn't say anything.

So far, I can only admire that the Lord of the World is really extraordinary. Even if he suddenly wants to find a wife, he can easily draw all the people who may be wives on this roster, and put them in the right place.It's a pity that the huge intelligence network behind him is beyond my imagination.

The emperor spent so much effort, what kind of new queen did he want to find?And why not choose among his concubines?Most of the empresses and concubines in the palace were born in prominent families. Is it because they are afraid that their relatives will intervene in politics again?I frowned, like a huge net woven with conspiracy, covering the entire head of the young woman of Zhou Dynasty.

Rukong himself said "Amitabha" again, put away the roster again, and looked at us calmly: "Two female benefactors, if you can think clearly at this time and here, then go home and pack it up after noon tomorrow. Report to the yamen again, if you are still obsessed, you can only send the two back to the cell for another night." He came to persuade with kindness and compassion, but I didn't really want to appreciate it.

A Piao looked at me and asked me to make up my mind. I didn't think much, and got up abruptly: "Thank you sir for ordering! Let me leave this room. My lord, you should go to bed earlier." I cupped my hands and dragged A Piao away.Ru Kong let us leave, and the guards outside didn't seem to have seen us, two windy women, standing upright under the moonlight without looking sideways.

During this period, I thought a lot in my mind, the bits and pieces of these years, and the situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.A Piao was frightened by my sudden anger, she shrank back and said nothing.

Sure enough, as I expected, the lights in Ji Yue's study room were on, reflecting a long silhouette, looking down at a book.I swept away, and kicked at the door of his study room again, with my mouth questioning: "Master, you did it on purpose!"

In the blink of an eye, Ah Piao didn't know where he had slipped away.

Ji Yue and I are facing each other from a distance.

Ji Yue's expression was as usual, "Why do you mean you as a teacher?"

"You deliberately left me Wang Cuihua's Yuanmu, just waiting for this day!"

I just heard Ji Yue sneer, "Hehe, what day is this day? Were you taken away by the officials and sent to prison? The teacher spent money and energy to raise you so much, so that you can eat in prison? No conscience Damn girl, in vain as a teacher, she specially entrusted someone to make a connection so that Master Rukong will release the two of you in the middle of the night."

I was surrounded by his few words like this, like a basin of cold water, and most of the flames were immediately extinguished.Not to mention that I have held Wang Cuihua's Yuanmu for five or six years, how could Ji Yue be so powerful that he casually predicted that the emperor would draft a girl many years later, and even bumped into the wound of a certain official? Against the sky.

Thinking about it, it seems that I was too suspicious, bowed my head and twisted my clothes: "The monk was called by you..."

Ji Yue raised his hand, and something hit me in the face, thanks to my quick response, I caught it firmly and opened it, eh, white money.

"Since you don't want to be a show girl, if you have this time to lose your temper with your teacher here, you might as well run away while the moon is dark and the wind is high." He gave me a disgusted look, probably because he felt that his apprentice was very humiliating. teacher door.

I can't explain why I reject the draft so much. Compared with so many beauties in the world with my delicate and delicate appearance, there is really nothing to worry about. "Who says I won't run away!" I compromised in front of Rukong just to escape , but before you run, you must ask Ji Yue whether it is him who has spent so many years and thought to develop me into a pawn.

But after verifying it now, it's not as bad as I imagined. It's because I couldn't wait for Ji Yue after I was arrested before, and I was annoyed by him, so I made a big fuss about it.I don’t know if it’s too late tonight, some parts of my body are completely different from the day, I stomp my feet and turn around to leave.Halfway through the threshold, I turned my head again: "Master, won't you run with us?"

"Tomorrow the official will come to ask someone to come, so I have to come out to help you, isn't it?"

Master is right!
