A burst of sneezes came from the depths of Luanming Mountain in the outer suburbs of Yiqing Prefecture, causing the birds on the surrounding branches to scatter in all directions, as if some danger was about to happen. After a while, they found that the danger seemed to have been lifted. These The birds flew back to the lush forest one after another.
Surrounded by these lush forests, there is a manor covering an extremely large area. The architectural style is completely different from the architecture of the Jin Dynasty. On the contrary, it is very similar to the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River in Daxia, with small bridges, flowing water, rockery fountains, pavilions and pavilions. Everything is exquisite, and everything shows the good taste of the owner. Such a large manor looks more majestic and luxurious than the palace of the Kingdom of Jin.
In addition, what is even more interesting is that judging from the outer wall of this manor, it should have been built more than thirty years ago. I don’t know if it is because it is surrounded by layers of dense forests, or because of the Luanming Mountain The mechanism in the depths of this manor has never been discovered. It is even said that the people in Yiqing Mansion, from the Wanyan family to the ordinary people, do not know that there is such a secret existence deep in the mountains.
Passing through the beautiful courtyard and passing through a cobblestone path, we arrived at the side hall where the sneezing sounds had just occurred. At the door of the side hall stood several followers dressed as warriors. Whenever there was any disturbance around them, they would be there at the first place. Discovered at once.
When you walk into the side hall, you can see at first glance that there are two outstanding-looking and luxuriously dressed young men. One is sitting in the front seat and reading a book quietly, and from time to time he takes his eyes away from the book. , look at the other young man sitting on the chaise longue by the window.
The young master, who was lazily nestled on the chaise longue by the window, didn't care at all about being looked at. He was wiping his nose helplessly with a handkerchief.
Just now, this lazy young man sneezed dozens of earth-shattering sneezes. Now his mind is buzzing and he can no longer care about anything else.
If Zhen Buhui, who was being interrogated far away in Jiaping Pass, had been there, he would have recognized that these two people were none other than the King Jing brothers. The one who was reading was King Jing, and the one who was sneezing had been in poor health since childhood. The second young master Chu Han.
"The birds outside just now were scared away by your shocking shock." King Jing, who was sitting and reading, glanced at his brother again, "What's going on with you? You're cold. Or do you have a cold? Why did you sneeze so much all at once?"
Chu Han said nothing, but shook his head slightly, indicating that he was not sure.
"We have just moved here. The nights in the mountains are colder. You like to kick the quilt when you sleep, so it is inevitable that you will not catch a cold." King Jing said, waving his hand to the entourage standing at the door of the side hall, and said, "Tell Shan Master Jiang in the room, make some ginger soup for the second young master, add more minced ginger to dispel the cold. By the way, go to the back, find Lang Langzhong, and check the second young master’s pulse later.”
One of the attendants guarding the door agreed and went to the dining room to pass the prince's command to Master Jiang.
"Brother, there's no need for Dr. Lang, I'm fine."
The second young master, Chu Han, continued to sneeze and wipe his nose. He also rolled on the chaise chair twice. After rolling, he picked up the small teapot from the small table next to him, poured a cup of hot tea, and blew He blew the hot air and drank it in small sips.
"I don't think it's typhoid or catching a cold from the wind. When I was really sick, I never sneezed so much at once. This time, I felt like someone was scolding me." Chu Han snored and drank all night, feeling comfortable. He let out a long sigh and said, "And it's not just the kind of people who curse casually, but the kind of people who curse very harshly and relieve their anger. I don't know who I offended to make him so angry!"
"If that's the case, then you should be aware of it. Don't you know who you have offended recently?"
"I've tricked so many people recently that I can't even count them. I think everyone I've tricked will probably scold me."
"Then you might as well think about it. Whoever has been cheating you recently will know who scolded you." King Jing showed a wicked smile, put the book aside, picked up a piece of snack, took a small bite, and was happy Hehehe said, "Is this the retribution for doing too many bad things in this world? You deserve to be scolded by others. You brought it on yourself, right?"
"Brother, please stop mocking me. I feel so uncomfortable. You should still feel sorry for me, okay?" The second young master because
I sneezed too much and my voice was muffled. It sounded like it was caused by a stuffy nose. After he finished drinking the tea, he took a small medicine bottle from the table, pulled out the stopper, put it under his nose and sniffed it hard, and said, "I feel good! By the way, Xiao Hei knows that we are moving here. I wanted to come and take a look, but I stopped me. At this time, Chongmao ran out of the palace rashly, for fear that others wouldn’t keep an eye on him!"
"Finally we are close to the child. The child misses us and naturally wants to come and see us. This is reasonable. However, the timing is indeed not right. Wanyan Qingmu is here during this period..." King Jing pointed to his own Head, "I think it's not normal. I feel like people in their camp are panicking about whoever they catch and bites. They are afraid that if they are unlucky, they will be targeted by him."
"So, it's a bit inconvenient for Xiao Hei to come out of the city at this time, and he can easily be caught by his pigtails. What's more, Wan Yanping also needs him to watch over her side. Now she... I mean Wan Yan Ping, There are not many people we can trust, and Xiao Hei is one of them. If Wan Yanping can't find him, and he doesn't have a suitable reason, our plans over the years will be a bit dangerous."
"Yes!" King Jing nodded, finished a piece of snack, took another piece, and said, "Wanyanping can trust, besides Xiaohei, there are also the maids beside her, but those are Xiaocha's people... ..." At this point, King Jing paused and looked at his younger brother with a surprised expression on his face, "Xiaohan, I can probably guess who was scolding you just now." Z.br>
"I... seem to know it too." Chu Han stretched out his fingers to calculate and looked at his brother, "If this is what we guessed, it should be almost the same if we count the days, right? Xiao Zhen should be exposed Yes, right?"
King Jing glanced at his brother and saw the aggrieved look on Chu Han's face. He chuckled and said, "It's almost three months in the new military camp. Plus Xiao Zhen's schedule, it's really about the same. Then The group of mice should have been discovered by Xiao Zhen. It depends on what method Xiao Zhen will use to get in front of those children. Once the identities of those little mice are confirmed, they will remember your situation carefully this time. Son."
"Them?" Chu Han put the small medicine bottle back on the coffee table, leaned on the chaise longue with a helpless expression, looked at his brother, and said, "By "them, do you mean Haolin and the others?"
"Of course I'm talking about them, and they are the ones who benefit the most, right? You helped them eliminate such a big disaster, and they will always want to thank you. As for the way of thanking you, I don't know. .”
"I don't have any hope at all about this." Chu Han shook his head gently, poured himself another cup of tea, looked at his brother who had finished the snacks, wiped his hands, and picked up the book again. He sighed softly and said, "Brother, look at what I am like now. It is the result of them scolding me. They still think of my love and thank me properly. Isn't that nonsense? If they don't annoy me, I will already Thank God. With what we know about them, they might think of other ways to torment us."
"When you sent Xiao Zhen to Jiaping Pass to test those little guys, you should have known that they would scold and torment them." King Jing turned a page of the book and glanced at his younger brother, "Those few The little ones are not easily manipulated or tempted, and they don't know how to resist. If they want to retaliate, they will definitely take revenge on a big one. We don't have to guess, we can't guess."
"I thought they would retaliate, but I still couldn't hold it back. I asked Xiao Zhen to test them this time just to see how they would react when faced with temptation."
"Temptation?" King Jing raised his eyebrows and chuckled, "They have one goal in mind, which is to find out the Green Lotus Sect and the people behind it, so that they can be completely destroyed, not only to avenge their own family. , also to ensure the peaceful and prosperous age of Daxia in the next fifty years, or even a hundred years. With such an ambitious goal, what other temptations can attract them? They won’t care about that at all, you, I heard at the time After seeing this plan of yours, I feel like you are doing nothing for nothing. But you are so enthusiastic, so I can’t throw cold water on you."
"Brother, don't you have the heart to pour cold water on me?" Chu Han snorted and rolled around on the pillow again, "Brother is obviously curious too."
"I'm just curious about what kind of counterattack they would have if they knew it was a test. Besides, if I don't let you do it, will you really stop doing it? You're not such an obedient child, right? Since you have to do it , then let me do it with you. If they want revenge, they will also take revenge on us two." King Jing turned another page of the book, looked at the entourage who was touching a bowl of steaming ginger soup, and waved to him, Pointing at Chu Han who started sneezing again, he said, "Bring it to the second young master."
"I really need more brothers."
Chu Han looked at the bowl of ginger soup, took a deep breath, pinched his nose and drank the whole bowl. After drinking, he curled his lips because of the spicy taste, and quickly took a piece of candied fruit from the table. Stuffed it into his mouth.
"After you finish drinking, wrap yourself up in that woolen blanket and don't catch a cold again." King Jing yawned and glanced at Chu Han, "You know what your body is like, so you'd better force the coldness out of your body as soon as possible. Well, don’t let it be your turn and you fall ill again.”
"Brother, don't worry, I still know it well." Chu Han wrapped the woolen blanket tightly and leaned on the pillow. "Now that I think about it, it is indeed a bit embarrassing, but it is impossible for us to reach into the Shen family without being discovered by them. . At that time, I just wanted to see how these children were doing and whether they could accept what we had. I was thinking that it was impossible for us two to really live like old goblins. It would be better to give these to Xiao Hei. , it’s better to leave it to them, right?”
"This is just our wishful thinking, isn't it? At a young age, they are already highly respected ministers, possess heavy troops, and have won the trust of His Majesty the Emperor. Their strength is enough. What we gave them is not just icing on the cake. You might even cause trouble for them.”
"That's true. Behind all the blooming flowers, there are huge dangers hidden."
King Jing looked at his younger brother, shook his head slightly, and said, "They are different from us. The Duke of Zhenguo, the Marquis of Wuding, and the young children around them all have to be lonely ministers. They are absolutely loyal to His Majesty the Emperor, and His Majesty the Emperor trusts them now, and they will not have any second thoughts, but what about in the future?"
"After? After what?"
"Will their descendants completely trust each other like them? Haolin and the others hold so much power in their hands, will their descendants become the whetstone for future emperors? Will it happen again? Our tragedy?"
"What brother is saying is that I didn't think carefully enough, so I deserve to be scolded." Chu Han smiled, "However, young people today are completely different from when we were young. Everyone's ideas are correct. , this can be regarded as being better than the old and better than the old, right?"
"No, when we were young, we didn't have their thoughts and methods." King Jing looked at his brother, a little worried, "Is everything okay?"
"No!" Chu Han shook his head gently, looking sick, and said with a smile, "Huilan still has a lot of medicine, which can tolerate me getting sick a few more times. I just have a feeling that as long as I get sick, Once you get sick, your body will become better than before. I don’t know why. Maybe it’s like what Whelan said back then. Live a few more years and watch these children grow up and watch their children. When we grow up, we feel relieved, right?"
"hope so."
"Huilan is straight-forward. What he says is usually correct. Didn't he just say that Xiaocha would definitely know his life experience?" Mr. Chu Han sneezed again and rubbed lazily on the pillow. He said, "It's just that that guy Xuanyuan wrote a letter a few days ago, and he seemed very distressed. That kid Xiaocha didn't seem very happy to return to the Xuanyuan family, let alone change his surname back to Xuanyuan."
"There is an engagement between the Xuanyuan family and the Shen family. It doesn't really matter whether Xiaocha goes back or not, and whether she changes her last name or not. Once this matter is resolved, her marriage to Haolin should be put on the agenda." Seeing his brother's look, King Jing shook his head helplessly, "Xuanyuan is not complaining to you, but he is showing off that after so many years, he finally has a place in front of Xiaocha, and we have been struggling for a long time, but we dare not meet the children."
"So what, our good days are coming soon, aren't we? As long as Xia and Jin start a war, we will be able to cut off the escape route of those rats, and we will be able to appear openly in the children's house.
In front of the children, so if Xuanyuan wants to be proud, let him be proud for a while. Anyway, there is not much time to be proud! "
