In a dark corner of the imperial city, Geiliu sat against the wall, wearing a scarlet snow shirt that was particularly bright against the backdrop of a small red clay stove. On his waist, the ancient-shaped seal was emitting a faint light.
This seal was accidentally found by Gei Liu from the imperial treasury in the past. It looks very inconspicuous, but it is actually mysterious and mysterious. It can conceal the luck of the wearer. This alone is against the law of heaven. It is precisely because of the effect of this thing that the Qintian Supervisor Warlock could not find any trace of Gui Liu even if he used his clairvoyant eyes.
Guiliu was drinking from a jar of ancient wine. Although the wine was not as good as the thousand-year-old Jiannan Shaochun, the wine was far older than the Jing Dynasty and was the best product of the previous dynasty. Not only that, there are three jars of world-famous wine placed in the snow next to it. There is no doubt that Guiliu found these from Hu Meizi's boudoir.
But Gui Liu only took the wine and enjoyed it, and did not know how much ups and downs Hu Meizi had gone through in collecting these wines. Hu Meizi rarely drinks alcohol herself, and most of the wine she saves is given to her loved ones, hoping to win their favor.
So it's easy to imagine. When Hu Meizi discovered that the priceless wine was missing one jar after another, she would undoubtedly cry so hard that she felt extremely aggrieved and cursed Guiliu over and over again for being ungrateful.
Qin Tianjian, the little boy who was responsible for guarding the cauldron of national destiny, staggered up to the observatory, looked at the lights of the city, and remained silent for a long time.
Some warlocks of very high rank put on all the airs when dealing with the powerful imperial ministers. When they saw this, they did not dare to show any slightness. They quickly stepped aside and waited respectfully, not daring to express their anger.
They were shocked and confused.
Why is this god here?
Could it be that something big happened? Could it be that there are bad omens in the stars?
The little child wiped his eyes with one hand, and those eyes were filled with purple and gold energy.
His voice was just like that of a child, and he said in a milky voice: "There."
The voice was not loud, but it was like an order. All the dormant warriors in the palace quickly rushed out from the majestic city wall, and a figure with an astonishing aura rushed out of the palace, as if crossing the snow-white full moon, heading towards somewhere. Sweep away.
A restaurant, which used to be in a bleak state, was filled with guests for the first time tonight.
Surprisingly, no one drank, and no one spoke.
The store owner knelt in front of the stone steps. He had never seen such a big scene before. He was so scared that his whole body was shaking and his teeth were chattering. He did not dare to raise his head to look at this beautiful and fragrant queen.
He was completely confused and had no idea what was happening.
Qin Fang just looked at the moonlight and remained silent.
In the restaurant, a cold woman was sitting and drinking. She was the only person drinking in the entire restaurant and the only female drinker.
She opened her red lips lightly and put the glass of wine into her throat, which made her fair face a little crimson, making her look a little less cold and a little more lively.
After filling the last glass of wine, she looked down at the glass. Sitting by the window, she saw the snowy moon in the cup, broken and round.
She was lying on the table, showing a tired posture, like a drunk woman who couldn't wait for her sweetheart to return.
Thousands of lights are on, and the moonlight is gentle.
But where are you?
At the door of the restaurant, Qin Fang suddenly narrowed her eyes and shouted: "Do it!"
It turned out that the whole restaurant was completely dark, and they were all palace warriors.
Even though she was deeply criticized, the cold woman didn't care at all and just said softly: "No wait."
In the palace, somewhere with small carved beams, there are wisps of air flowing out of it.
The little child was leaning on the cauldron of national luck, wanting to sleep for a while, but suddenly he opened his strange purple-gold eyes and frowned slightly.
Not even the Qintianjian warlocks with fiery eyes and fine gold could sense this. This was a change that only the great master or great monk could feel.
Qin Fang suddenly shouted angrily: "Qingxue, how dare you!"
The woman made a sword stance, intending to fight the trapped beast.
The next second, the atmosphere in the restaurant was deathly silent.
A scarlet figure appeared silently.
Guiliu didn't care about the countless shocked looks. In full view of everyone, he took the woman's hand and swept away from the restaurant far away.
"Before I leave, I will accompany you to the City God's Temple one more time." Guiliu held the woman's cool little hand tightly with a gentle gaze.
The white-haired man put one hand around the woman's soft waist, took a gentle breath, and then began to sprint forward.
On the eaves of every house, the palace warriors were chasing after him, but they could never catch up with the figure with dancing white hair.
In the Chenghuang Temple, the bustling crowd suddenly dispersed in a hurry. After a moment of commotion, countless people curiously looked at the pair of immortal men and women who fell from the sky in front of them, and began to talk about it.
Giliu ignored the whispers, smiled, took the woman's hand, and walked towards the main hall of the City God's Temple.
"Are you stupid?" Guiliu lightly slapped the woman's palm and pretended to blame: "You are my maid, you are the most suspicious, and you ran out of the palace to look for me for no reason, the queen mother will definitely become suspicious. Besides, you How can you be sure that you will meet me when you leave the palace? What if I don't show up in time? There are so many masters in the palace, how can it not be easy to catch you back? Then let your mother punish you and make me feel bad for you? As a maid, you can't Let the master save his worries?"
The woman's pretty face was slightly frosted, and her voice was a little cold, and she asked: "As the master, your highness, disappearing for only a few days, is to make this slave worry free? If your highness had not left without saying goodbye, how could this slave be like this? Your highness did not examine himself, but blamed him The servant is here."
"If Your Highness only wants to blame this slave, and I have nothing to say, please go back and apologize to the Queen."
The woman's face was as frosty as she wanted to leave.
Guiliu laughed dumbly and quickly stopped in front of her, feeling a little resentful in his heart. Well, this is obviously a maid, but when she is angry, she looks like a master.
If someone else saw this scene, their jaw would drop in shock. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who has a great reputation, actually fell into disrepair in front of a little maid?
Geiliu could see that her leaving without saying goodbye undoubtedly made Qingxue feel particularly angry and worried, but it was just because of her status as master and servant that she kept it in her heart. What he said just now may have offended her, which is why she was so angry.
After getting along for a long time, Geiliu became familiar with her temperament. Coaxing her was useless, so she had to find another way.
"So," he said in a leisurely tone, "are you blaming the master?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qingxue's expression softened a little, and she immediately shook her head and said softly: "This slave is rude, please forgive me, Your Highness."
Guiliu smiled slightly. Sure enough, this trick must work. So he took her hand and wandered around leisurely.
Even though it was not the Mid-Autumn Festival or the Lantern Festival, the Chenghuang Temple was still overcrowded. Guiliu first took Qingxue to the main hall of the Chenghuang Temple, but there was a cold scene inside the hall. A few days ago, for some unknown reason, the gilded statue of the City God was quietly blown to pieces. Now the government has not ordered its repairs. It should be that the imperial court is conducting investigations and arrangements.
The crowd would unconsciously make way for Guiliu and Qingxue. After all, no one wanted to provoke a pair of immortal men and women who fell from the sky. Giliu was wearing a scarlet snow shirt, and Qingxue was also dressed in a delicate scarlet. Moreover, their appearance was extraordinary, and they looked like a couple of gods and gods. They attracted many eyes and continued to comment and whisper.
There is a majestic ancient tree in the Chenghuang Temple. Visitors can write their wishes by writing them on the tree and hang them on the branches. The City God's Temple was built more than a hundred years ago, and the ancient trees have long been covered with wishing sticks. When the wind blows, they make a ringing sound, which is very pleasant to the ear. The colors of the wishes can be roughly divided into two types. One is the older one, which has been exposed to wind and rain, and most of the colors have faded, and the handwriting is mottled and difficult to read. There is another type that was newly hung recently, with bright colors and legible handwriting.
"How about asking for a signature?" Guiliu turned to look at Qingxue.
Qingxue said nothing, but already picked up a wooden sign, threaded the red rope through the hole, and formed a long queue in front of the inkstone.
There was a long queue to write signatures, but Guiliu and Qingxue did not wait too long. Because when most people saw this divine couple, they intentionally gave up their positions.
There was an inkstone and a small seal pen on the table, but by chance, when it was Guiliu and Qingxue's turn, there was not much ink left and they needed to re-sharpen the ink.
"It's okay, I'll grind the ink and you can just write." Guiliu said with a smile.
Not long after, the inkstone overflowed with ink again. The light snow jade hand holds the pen, and the small seal pen appears plump and plump under the infiltration of ink, a little round.
Qingxue thought for a moment and was about to start writing, then looked at Gui Liu aside.
Gui Liu immediately turned around.
Qingxue strokes the pen slowly, and the handwriting is delicate and elegant, which is a typical small regular script with hairpin flowers.
Each of the four maids of His Royal Highness is good at something. For example, Qingxue was particularly good at writing small regular script with hairpin flowers, so much so that the calligraphy review had its place in the world review book. As for the charming Taozhi, she is especially good at singing and dancing. No one among the three thousand dancing girls in the studio can compete with her. Qiuli is particularly good at making tea and is extremely knowledgeable about tea ceremony. Even if you look at the entire palace, no one can surpass her. She has also been selected into the tea ceremony review in the world. Jin Zhize was especially good at embroidering red needlework. She once embroidered a "Picture of Thousands of Miles of Rivers and Mountains", which shocked the court. She was praised by His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, and her embroidery was also collected into the national treasury.
Finally, Qingxue put down her small seal pen, raised her body slightly, and hung her wish sign on the highest point of the majestic ancient tree. This way, no one could see it.
"What is it written about?" Guiliu asked curiously.
"I'm sorry, I forgot." Qingxue replied lightly.
Guiliu immediately laughed in anger and pinched Qingxue's fat-free waist, "If you don't want to say it, just say it. Shouldn't you be punished for using this kind of excuse to prevaricate your master?"
Suddenly, Qingxue frowned and said, "They are catching up."
I saw that the cornices and corners of the countless palaces of the City God's Temple were all filled with masters from the palace, condescending from above, forming a kind of outflanking force, ready to attack, and all they needed was an order.
Under the cover of the dark night, the bustling tourists did not notice the tense situation in the Chenghuang Temple. The atmosphere was still lively, with laughter, shouts and the sound of bells and drums.
Somewhere in the City God's Temple, a martial spirit suddenly circulated, like boiling water in a river. This astonishing sight was obviously the work of a high-ranking martial artist.
But in the next second, this scene disappeared, replaced by Guiliu in a blink of an eye, picking up Qingxue's hand and running towards a lively vendor selling sugar paintings.
"I will accompany you to the City God's Temple again. I will do what I say, and no one can stop me." Gui Liu spoke softly, his eyes were gentle and firm, and his golden rose-colored eyes that were enough to envy the world actually shone lightly at this moment.
Almost at the same moment, all the palace warriors present who were responsible for besieging the master and servant pair felt extremely uneasy.
In Qintian Prison, inside the mottled bronze cauldron above the Middle-earth altar, a ray of golden luck suddenly bloomed.
The little child suddenly stood up, his eyes dark.
However, Qin Fang, who knew the feng shui of the entire imperial city, stepped into the City God's Temple with an extremely angry expression.
The surging sea of clouds very high in the sky suddenly fell suddenly, covering the bright moon. The energy of Tiangang surged wildly, forming an overwhelming force.
A single move can shock the mountains and rivers and make the sun and moon eclipse. This is the aura of a master.
Guiliu ignored it and just raised his hand slightly. The majestic emperor's luck was like the power of a towering mountain, forcefully holding back the suddenly falling sea of gangqi clouds.
Ordinary people and warriors who are not familiar with the way of heaven cannot see this shocking scene. So this is a battle that only belongs to Guiliu and Qin Fang.
Geiliu, still holding Qingxue's hand, had already walked to the sugar painting vendor. He tilted his head and smiled and asked Qingxue what kind of sugar paintings he liked, as if nothing had happened.
Qin Fang was extremely angry and did not speak, but a sound that only Gui Liu could hear resounded throughout the world.
"Are you crazy for consuming your own luck?!"
At the stall, Guiliu had already taken the candy painting and took a bite. The cute rabbit suddenly lost a small ear. At his request, Qingxue also took a small bite. This time, even the left ear was missing. . Guiliu shook the sugar painting in his hand, looked at Qingxue, and Qingxue looked at him, and then both the master and the servant couldn't help laughing.
Guiliu didn't answer, his eyes were gentle and intoxicating, "Let's go and put the lotus lanterns."
"Guiliu, stop it!" Qin Fang shouted angrily, and the sea of clouds suddenly fell downwards again. Even regardless of the danger of both the jade and the stone, it was clear that he would completely suppress the emperor's fate with an extremely tough attitude.
"Those who abandon me will not be able to keep yesterday's day." Guiliu murmured softly and stretched out his hand to slowly make a lifting gesture.
The golden mountains remain motionless and become more solid.
"Those who mess up my mind will have many worries today."
This time, it was Qingxue who spoke softly.
Gui Liu smiled slightly, quietly wiped the blood from his mouth, took Qing Xue's hand, and took a gentle step.
All the palace warriors on the eaves of the palace flew out like kites with their strings cut off.
With only one step, Guiliu and Qingxue reached the most famous lotus pond in the Chenghuang Temple.
Guiliu knelt down and stretched out his hand to pick up a handful of water. "It is said that the lotus pond in the Chenghuang Temple leads to an underground river and is connected to the water of the Yao River. Every year during the Lantern Festival, countless people will set off lotus lanterns here, and thousands of them can be seen. Even thousands of lotus lanterns cover the water of Yaojiang River, and the scenery is spectacular and beautiful."
Guiliu stood up, wiped his hands casually, looked at Qingxue beside him, and said with a smile: "Next time during the Lantern Festival, I will accompany you to see it. I will never forget it."
Qingxue remained silent.
"Fireworks are spring-cold on the Lantern Festival, and the remaining ashes are scattered across the Xijiang River. I pity each other haggardly. You are empty, and you are disillusioned." "
"How can we meet again if we have no chance? It's the same night of lights every year. You are in Green Water, and I am in Tianjie."
After Gui Liu sang softly, his face turned horribly pale, and the golden light in his eyes gradually dissipated. The price of using the emperor's destiny at the risk of disaster will undoubtedly be heavy.
Qin Fang gathered her energy and landed gently on the high eaves of the main hall. Looking at the scarlet figure in the distance, she covered her chest with one hand and her vision was blurred.
When some of the warriors who barely limped back saw this scene, they all opened their mouths and were extremely shocked.
This empress who once made the entire world tremble, who once slaughtered an entire sect alone, and almost killed His Majesty several times,
Actually crying?
Beside the lotus pond, Gui Liu held Qing Xue's small hand with both hands and slowly put a pink and crystal lotus lantern into the pond.
The lotus lantern rotates slowly, and the exquisite and clear lamp exudes gentle firelight.
Guiliu turned to look at Qingxue and found that the latter was crying silently, so he stretched out his hand to wipe his tears.
Guiliu said softly, "After I leave, I must live a good life. Since Taozhi Qiuli and the others don't know, there is no need to tell them, so as not to make them sad. Remember to clean the East Palace on time every day, but you can't be lazy just because I'm gone." .”
"Also, there is a gilt dowry under the stool of the bed where I live. I wanted to give it to you on your birthday, but unfortunately, I can't give it to you in person. On your birthday, don't be sad or miss me. You must If you want to be happy, you must eat a bowl of longevity noodles, do you hear me? When I come back, I will ask Taozhi to see if you are obedient."
"Also, in fact, I have always known that among the four of you, the Queen Mother always treats Taozhi the best and treats you the coldest. But in fact, when it comes to the degree of liking, the result is exactly the opposite. The Queen Mother is only cold-faced and warm-hearted. The four of you Among them, you are the only one who can please her. The queen mother once joked to me that if she chooses a concubine from the four of you, she will be most partial to you. So, the queen mother has always been very fond of you. "
Guiliu wanted to say something more, but suddenly he felt like an old woman, talking endlessly, so he smiled and closed the conversation.
Qingxue always cried silently without saying a word.
Gui Liu gently hugged the beauty in front of her, feeling the warmth and softness all over her body. She closed her eyes and spoke in an extremely gentle tone,
"Is there anything you want to say to the master?"
This woman who has been as cold as frost since the day she entered the palace, even when she treats His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress, has no change of expression, but at this moment her voice is gentle, "I have nothing else to ask for, I just hope that Your Highness will be safe and go home soon." .”
Guiliu hugged her tightly with gentle eyes, "Don't worry, if we agree to go to the Yaojiang River to look at the lanterns together, I will definitely keep my promise."
On the broad royal road, facing the city gate, only one person was walking slowly.
The night was dark, as if the wind and rain were falling all over the sky.
Qin Fang, who came with astonishing momentum, could not hide her lonely figure and tired posture. She did not look at the majestic vermilion city gate in the distance and turned around slowly.
She took a few steps, squatted on the ground slumped, held her face in her hands, and cried loudly.
On the straight imperial road, the scarlet figure suddenly trembled and paused.
A choking voice sounded in his heart, causing ripples.
It was Qin Fang's red lips that trembled, and she said those words with the weakest gesture,
"Go home early."
