Si Tian Guan

    The leaves on the branches are widened by the summer, but they still can't cover the approaching heat.

    Baishiyan looked at the dazzling white flowers in the yard, under the shadow of the hanging flower door, and didn't want to go forward.

    These days, the number of times he comes to other courtyards is far less than before.

    Maybe it’s because I’m busy, maybe it’s because I don’t know how to get along with my cousin like before, maybe it’s because I can’t bear to see my cousin struggling every day, shedding his tender shell again and again.

    The newly born epidermis can still see blood and flesh.

    Or, because there is no one in this courtyard, it is no longer as relaxed and comfortable as before.

    Sometimes, he would repeatedly ask himself, if he had known that it would become like this, if he did it again, would he still agree with Shen Zhou's approach.

    No one can give an answer that he won't regret, including himself.

    My mother often goes to the palace with a stone chime, sits with her eldest sister, and comes back to say that the eldest sister is about to give birth and everything is safe.

    I also specially said that Shen Zhou will visit the eldest sister every few days by order, and the past few months have been very smooth. With Shen Zhou taking care of the eldest sister, they are all at ease.

    And not only the elder sister's side is good, since the paddock came back, their pace has suddenly accelerated - the king of Qi has been released, Jingchen has been crowned king, and he has taken charge of Jinxiuying again. Shen Zhou is not only a great person The minister, was able to command the left and right battalions.

    But Shenzhou and Chongming have changed, and they can't go back to the past.

    Liu Chongming naturally saw him from the window and beckoned him over.

    The densely circled map was spread out on the desk, Liu Chongming threw the pen on the table, leaned back into the chair, and let out a long sigh.

    "How's it going?" Shiraishi asked.

    He knows what Zhongming is mourning - the Thousand Sons Pagoda.

    When he entered the palace, he encountered Shen Zhou by chance, and asked when no one was paying attention, Qu Shenzhou was confused for a moment, and only said two words.

    Transfer.

    No one knows what Shen Zhou wants to do, maybe even Qu Shenzhou himself. The more ambiguous the hexagram, the more variable it is.

    If you want to get this opportunity, you must do as Shen Zhou said.

    Baishiyan thinks that sinking the boat is crazy, it is the Thousand Sons Pagoda.

    Especially after learning how important those sin-born children are to the emperor, I dare not even think about how the emperor would be angry if the Thousand Sons Pagoda fell.

    What's more, no matter how small the scale was back then, it was a ten-story tower, how could it be done?

    But Liu Chongming is even more crazy, let alone the Thousand Sons Pagoda. I am afraid that the sinking boat will let him go to the sky, and he will not hesitate to come down.

    Although he didn't know what Liu Chongming did, he knew that since he received this order, Liu Chongming had not even slept peacefully, and he had lost a lot of weight.

    Occasionally, when asked several times, the answer is "a bit of a frown", but I can't know more.

    Qu Shenzhou brought them to the cusp in the most violent way, and the only one who could keep up with the pace was Chongming.

    Let him not know what to say.

    My mother once closed the door with Chongming and chatted for a long time. When she went out, Chongming was very calm, but her mother's eyes were red.

    The mother said that the two younger brothers have ideas, so let them go.

    "The situation is fine." This time, Liu Chongming's answer finally seemed to be a little more relaxed: "Fortunately, it is the Thousand Sons Pagoda in the south."

    "What happened to the south?" Baishiyan was puzzled.

    "I asked someone to inspect the terrain over there." Liu Chongming pushed the map to him, propped his head, and looked tired.

    "The location was controversial when the site was selected. It is said that there is an underground river channel under the tower.

    "In the beginning, I worked diligently, but later I saw that I could keep it a secret, so I just dealt with it reluctantly, as long as I could stand. The fir trees were planted around, and the lightning strike was avoided."

    Baishiyan heard in a foggy voice: "Then what? Even if it is not strong, it will not be pushed down by people."

    "The so-called money can make a ghost run the mill." Liu Chongming smiled: "Isn't Chinese fir very good, the purchase price has been raised several times, and many people will take the risk."

    Baishiyan finally had a rough outline in his mind - when the supply is in short supply, someone must cut down the cedars around the Thousand Son Pagoda, so that the Thousand Son Pagoda will be exposed on the plain again.

    And the rainy season has come.

    He couldn't help smacking his tongue: "You are... too willing to spend money."

    "No one spends, so what do I keep the money for? It's really not good. It's not impossible to find someone to pretend to be a gangster and knock it down."

    Liu Chongming took the map and looked down at the paper he just finished writing below. No one is forcing him to copy the house rules, but if he doesn't write a few pages every day, his heart is empty.

    "Restatement..."

    He waved his hand hurriedly, not wanting Baishiyan to see that he was so easily lost, so he hurriedly talked about other topics.

    “And… Shiyan, the Thousand Sons Pagoda, is not far from Dingling Hill.”

    Baishiyan's heart jumped, he couldn't forget what happened in this place, this is Zhongming's long-term obsession.

    "You mean, Shen Zhou chose the Thousand Sons Pagoda here to cause trouble for his eldest brother? Could it be that the 'turning point' refers to this matter?"

    "I don't know, but I..."

    Liu Chongming just wanted to say "I believe him", but interrupted himself with a self-deprecating self-deprecation, how could he have the right to say this now.

    "But I don't think he's wrong."

    He packed his things and stood with Baishiyan in the shade under the corridor, neither hot nor cold, he used to stand here.

    Not far from the front steps is the ground spring, which was originally built for quietness and sound.

    At this time last year, he often stood under the porch, watching people in the yard carrying their clothes, stepping over the spring with their bare feet, and the sound of the water was cool and comfortable. .

    The man then left a few wet footprints on the dry ground, and stepped back without enough play. After stepping on enough water, I washed my feet in the spring water, put on my shoes wetly, and turned to smile at him.

    A pair of neat little white teeth and a pair of glazed eyes curved into a crescent moon.

    He always finds it interesting, how old is he, how can he act like a naive child.

    Now I understand that it is not only a release after being bound for too long, but also a defense against him. That person once gave him the purest and purest side, and the softest and most vulnerable side to him.

    But he didn't want it.

    This courtyard became his prison, with thorns in every corner.

    Baishiyan looked at him carefully: "Chongming..."

    Liu Chongming came back to his senses, wiped his face fiercely, and calmed down: "I'm fine, I just forgot to tell you that when I sent someone to check the Qianzi Tower, they said that Something weird happened."

    "What?"

    "The locals spoke of ghosts and saw trees eating people."

    Baishiyan couldn't help sneering: "The residents of the mountains are not knowledgeable, so it is inevitable that some ghosts and gods will spread out. I am afraid that there is a murder case, and the local county government will not be able to handle the case."

    Liu Chongming pondered for a moment before shaking his head.

      Yes. Later, I heard what they said over there, and I didn't dare to stay for long, so I came back."

    Baishiyan was stunned: "Is there such a thing?"

    "I asked Jiu'an, he read a lot, and said that he had seen such a statement in the strange and strange talk."

    "Ordinary ones will devour passers-by, and powerful ones will feed dead people to prey on them."

    In broad daylight, Baishiyan got goose bumps: "Don't scare me, how could such a thing happen!"

    "I don't know if it's scaring people," Liu Chongming was much calmer: "But I think, Qianzi Tower, Yinmu and Dingling Hill, these three things are put together , I think he is looking for a suitable opportunity to let me go over there."

    "Are you going? Don't you mean there is something eating people?!"

    "Life and death have fate, no matter where Shenzhou tells me to go, I will go."

    Liu Chongming realized that he inadvertently said the taboo name, paused, and then asked: "This is all in the future, I will prepare in advance and take care of Jinxiu. Camp, lest anyone make the idea of ​​Camp Splendid. You came over today, is there anything?"

    "Yes," Bai Shiyan remembered: "Fang Wuyang asked Shi Lei to send the news back, saying that he will meet Jiang Xingzhi and the others in a few days."

    "How is King Qi now?"

    "At the end of the force, it is impossible for him to pass the halberd."

    "Why is Shi Lei outside?"

    Liu Chongming frowned. He has been busy recently, and he has indeed not seen Baishilei for a while.

    "Nothing big happened, my father just let him lead the troops over there to see, it's an experience."

      If you have something, it's easy to respond. It really doesn't work, Shi Lei also has soldiers at hand."

    The last sentence hit Liu Chongming like a heavy hammer.

    There are soldiers at hand... At that time, if there were no tens of thousands of elite soldiers brought by Shi Lei, how could he stand on his feet?

    He owes so much, how long will it take him to pay it back?

    As usual, Qu Chenzhou was introduced into Lijing Palace.

    There is still half a month left, on the sixth day of June, Concubine Liu is about to give birth. The emperor is very interested in this child, so he makes him come to Lijing Palace every five days to divination not fall.

    "Chen Qu sinks the boat..." He stood outside the screen and bowed his hands in a routine, but when he saw the figure behind the screen, his throat froze, almost holding his breath, After he finished speaking with difficulty: "Please see... the noble concubine..."

    "Come in." Liu Qingru's voice came.

    He just turned around the screen when someone hugged him.

    The man was half a head shorter than him, his shoulders were shaking violently, and he buried his face in his chest, but he did not dare to let out the slightest sob.

    Qu Chenzhou bent down, tightened his arms around him, rested his head in the man's neck, slowed his breathing a few times, and barely suppressed the crimson at the corners of his eyes.

    "Mother," he called softly: "Mother, don't cry, it will hurt your face for a while."

    Mrs. Bai clenched his clothes tightly, choked for a long time, then slowly stopped, looked up carefully, touched his cheek, and unconsciously the tears flowed again.

    Qu Chenzhou wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Mother, don't cry, I have a good time here."

    Liu Qingru also smiled and persuaded: "Aunt, didn't you realize that Shen Zhou has grown a lot taller than last year? You should be happy."

    "Yes," Mrs. Bai wiped away her tears and forced a smile: "You have grown a lot, and you are already like an adult. You are now on your own, and you are more prosperous than your brothers. Mother is happy. Incredibly."

    Her tears welled up, and she watched Qu Chenzhou several times before she asked softly, "Shenzhou, is your waist... growing?"

    Qu Shenzhou froze for a moment.

    A long time ago, Liu Qingru gave Yulin ointment, he didn't want it, and he knew that those who cared about him wanted to ask, but they didn't dare.

    The birthmark didn't grow well, the finger touched it, it was bumpy, a "Ming" character.

    This word, this person, is an obsession that he cannot break.

    "Mother," he replied softly, "the past... there will be no turning back."

    Mrs. Bai didn't ask any more questions, knowing that he shouldn't stay here for too long, she said a few more words, and was helped by the palace maid to rest in the inner room.

    "Mother."

    He made up his mind, for Liu Qingru divination is the most important thing at the moment.

    Although the secret tactics in the palace are somewhat restrained because they are afraid of his existence, this child is of great importance, and it is difficult to guarantee that no one will take the risk.

    "Inauspicious Rumors - Drunken Bone Fragrance. Beware!"

     , The reason why Shen Zhou is good at divination is because An Ning gave him a piece of wood essence in his previous life [Friendly Reminder] Ahhh, why hasn't he finished writing yet? I dreamed last night that two stupid cubs were swimming in the sea and drowned.
