MTL - Capture the Jade-Chapter 121 (1)

This question caught people off guard, and Teng Yuyi's lips suddenly seemed to be on fire, and her face flushed instantly.

She puffed out her chest and was about to deny it. Seeing Grandpa's sad expression, a strange feeling came to her mind again.

Something's wrong, Grandpa's tone clearly has the meaning of farewell.

Her face was still hot, but she couldn't help but look at Grandpa cautiously: "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

Grandpa's several gaffes seemed to be related to Wu Yingying. When he mentioned that letter from the Nanzhao Kingdom last time, Grandpa looked like a thousand arrows pierced through his heart. It was so unusual tonight, maybe because Grandpa went to see Wu Yingying during the day.

Thinking of this, the anger in her heart swelled up: "Grandpa, why are you going to see Wu Yingying?"

An indescribable humiliation flashed across Teng Shao's face.

"Do you know where she lives?"

Teng Yuyi felt a chill in her heart. Her judgment was right. There was something wrong with the relationship between Grandpa and Wu Yingying. Otherwise, Grandpa would not feel ashamed when he heard Wu Yingying's name.

"How could I not know?" she said coldly, "Huayang Lane in Jinggongfang! I knew it when she first came to Chang'an. She lived in our mansion for half a year, and A-Niang's illness was caused by her visit. I stained it later, does Grandpa think I can forget the appearance and name of this bitch?"

Her sharp eyes were fixed on her father's face: "don't think I don't know. Grandpa, you asked Cheng Bo to hide the news of her returning to Beijing, and then turned around and went to her! You kept saying that you wanted me to trust you, but you Are you sorry auntie?"

Teng Shao seemed to be stung by the last sentence, so he shouted, "Shut up!"

Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth and stared at Teng Shao, Teng Shao's eyes were already scarlet.

He closed his eyes and slumped down on the seat behind him, exhausted.

He lowered his head and stared at a certain point in the void. Gradually, his whole body seemed to be seized by painful memories. The emotion of regret was so strong that even Teng Yuyi, a few steps away, could feel it.

Teng Yuyi was spitting up like thorns all over her body, panting slightly.

After being silent for a long time, Teng Shao opened his mouth: "You are a child who is very worried. In the past, Grandpa thought things were wrong. He thought that even if he didn't talk about some things, he would let them go when you were older, but Grandpa didn't expect that this lump would not only keep Putting it in your heart, it will get deeper and deeper. Before this expedition, Grandpa wanted to have a good talk with you, otherwise I'm afraid—"

The thorns in Teng Yuyi's eyes turned into intense unease, what does Grandpa mean?

"This Wu Yingying's ancestor is the Wu family in Nanyang, and her grandfather's name is Wu Zhenxiao." Teng Shao's tone was full of desolation.

Teng Yuyi took a few steps and sat down on the couch. Although she had been expecting her grandfather to explain what happened in the past, but at this moment, her chest was filled with ominous feelings.

"Nanyang?"

Back then, when my grandfather and two uncles resisted the rebels who went south, Nanyang was the place where they died.

At that time, the empire was already in a desperate situation on the front line of life and death. The battle lasted for half a year. Although the city gate was finally broken, thanks to the resistance of the last half year, the water transportation of grain behind the empire was able to be preserved, which also helped the empire successfully recover in the future. The loss of land played a decisive role.

This battle was too tragic and too glorious. In order to capture Nanyang and Suiyang, the enemy army had already cut off the road to transport grain to the city. The grain and grass in the city were in short supply. In order to protect the people in the city, my grandfather ordered them to be sent away in batches through secret passages. , none of them can be withdrawn. The secret passage could have transported some food, but unfortunately it was discovered by the enemy not long after, in order to prevent the enemy from breaking into the city along the secret passage, the secret passage had to be sealed.

After resisting for nearly half a year, when the city was broken, only a few hundred soldiers were left.

The city was deserted, and every household was empty. The food, grass and horses had long been eaten. In order to satisfy their hunger, my grandfather and a few soldiers fed on bark and hay all day long. When they were captured, only a skeleton was left. .

The rebels were deeply shocked by this scene. They did not expect that this iron city, which was unprecedentedly difficult to attack and difficult to beat, was actually defended in such a tragic situation.

When Hu Rei ordered his grandfather and uncle to be beheaded at the head of the city, the murderous rebel soldiers and soldiers showed unbearable expressions on their faces.

They shouted "hero" in unison, and respectfully kowtowed to their grandfather and uncle a few times before starting.

After the battle, grandfather Teng Yuanhao became the most famous hero in the world.

The late emperor thanked his grandfather for Kuang Yi's deeds and gave him a special gift.

The grandfather was given the posthumous title of "loyal and brave", and the portrait and life stories of his grandfather were listed in Lingyan Pavilion. The two uncles were also posthumously named the second-rank generals of the country, which is the supreme honor only enjoyed by the founding of the country.

"In that battle, Wu Zhenxiao, Wu Yingying's grandfather, was one of the generals defending the city." Teng Shao's solemn words shook the air in the room, "Wu Zhenxiao has followed your grandfather for many years, and he can be called a brave and loyal person. He rescued him as early as the battle of Nanyang. Once you passed your grandfather, the enemy used a dark arrow to plot against your grandfather. It was Wu Zhenxiao who tried his best to block the arrow. Although he was lucky to survive, he was also blind in his left eye. Although his left eye is blind, he is still unstoppable when he goes into battle. He is both your grandfather's subordinate and your grandfather's savior."

Teng Yuyi frowned and listened.

"In the battle of Nanyang a few years later, Wu Zhenxiao followed your grandfather to fight the enemy to the death. On the verge of breaking the city, grandfather had no other choice. He heard that a large number of reinforcements arrived in Linhuai, and immediately sent Wu Zhenxiao to lead 30 elite cavalry out of the city. The technique is out of the ordinary, and while the enemy troops outside the city are resting at night, there is hope to break through the encirclement. Wu Zhenxiao finally lived up to your grandfather's entrustment. Huai, what Wu Zhenxiao never expected was that the general sent by the imperial court to Linhuai was Qin Fengcun. This person has been at odds with your grandfather for a long time, and he didn't want to see your grandfather make great achievements, and the rebels were entrenched around , he was worried that if he sent reinforcements, the rebels would turn around and attack Linhuai, no matter how Wu Zhenxiao persuaded him, he refused to send troops."

Teng Yuyi's heart was agitated. She had heard of this past. Afterwards, the court held accountables, and Qin Fengcun was the first to be executed.

"Wu Zhenxiao was like an explosive charcoal. He overturned the banquet table where Qin Fengcun was entertaining him on the spot. He scolded him repeatedly, and went out of the tent in a hurry. Nanyang won't last long. The famous cavalry returned to Nanyang overnight, but unexpectedly Qin Fengchun was afraid that Wu Zhenxiao would report the matter to the imperial court, so he sent a cavalry army to hunt down Wu Zhenxiao and his party. Wu Zhenxiao was injured by an arrow, and in order to avoid the pursuit, he accidentally fell into the nearby In the valley, when he woke up and found himself lying on a calf, the people who rescued him came from Linhuai. They told Wu Zhenxiao that Nanyang was broken and General Teng was killed in battle. They were afraid that Linhuai would not be able to keep it, so they prepared Refuge south.

"Wu Zhenxiao cried bitterly. He was saddened by the death of your grandfather and uncle, and he hated the imperial court's mistake in sending Qin Fengcun to come to support him. He was full of grief and anger and had nowhere to vent, and vowed never to return to the imperial court's military camp in his life. In Qiao County, he took a singer as his concubine, and the concubine gave birth to a son. The child was in his teens at the time and his name was Wu Ziqi. After Wu Zhenxiao was healed, he returned to Qiao County to pick up the concubine and the child. After that After only one look at Nanyang City from a distance, he took his concubine and son to the south with the refugees. He never returned to Nanyang in his whole life. Wu Zhenxiao's injuries were too severe, and after days of bumps, his body suddenly collapsed and suffered He died a few years later..."

Teng Yuyi was greatly shaken, his father's eyes were deep, and he was obviously saddened by this thrilling past.

"After Wu Zhenxiao died, he left a savings, and the concubine took this savings to live with his son. In a few years, Wu Zhenxiao's son Wu Ziqi got married, and the child born was Wu Yingying."

Teng Yuyi's eyes trembled. Wu Yingying suddenly came to join her grandfather back then. It seemed that she relied on her grandfather Wu Zhenxiao's loyalty to the Teng family.

Guo heard his father say: "When Wu Yingying grew up, she was spotted by a gentleman in the city who was nearly sixty years old. Wu Ziqili was seriously ill and hated herself for not being able to protect her daughter. I heard that I was passing by in the army, and I desperately asked an old man named Wu Si to my death. The loyal servant sent Wu Yingying to my tent. I couldn't bear the fate of the hero's descendants to be abused by others, so I had to have Wu Yingying taken in. "

Teng Yuyi gritted her teeth, and when Wu Yingying came, everything changed. She said coldly: "There is a way to repay your kindness, why don't you give Wu Yingying money and silk? Why don't you find a good family to send her away? Before Wu Yingying came, A-Niang was still in good health! Not long after she came, A-Niang was in good health. It collapsed. You brought Wu Yingying to the house, but did you think that this was bringing a wolf into the house? A-Niang believes in you so much, why do you want to hurt A-Niang's heart?"

Teng Shao's forehead throbbed: "Because Grandpa has a clear conscience!"

Teng Yuyi was full of hatred, and her voice suddenly rose: "If Grandpa has a clear conscience, why did he keep silent about Wu Yingying's affairs?! If my mother wasn't extremely sad, how could she be ill from now on?"

Teng Shao was very bitter and bitter, and suddenly said sharply, "Do you think Grandpa doesn't want to know?"

Tears welled up in Teng Yuyi's eyes. Grandpa doesn't know?

Heh... that's impossible!

The pain on Teng Shao's face was no less than that of his daughter: "After Wu Yingying was sent, the first thing my grandfather did was to have Wu Yingying's identity verified. I will write a letter to your aunt, tell your mother about the Wu family and Teng family, and ask your aunt to help Wu Yingying find a suitable marriage. At the same time, they will immediately go to Wu Ziqi to help him seek medical treatment. .

"In order not to provoke rumors, your aunt said that Wu Yingying is my cousin. It will be two months later when grandpa returns home. Wu Ziqi has passed away, and Wu Yingying has only that old slave named Wu Si by her side. You A-Niang told me that she has been looking for a noble man among the relatives of the Wang family and Teng family for the past two months, but it seems that Wu Yingying does not really want to marry."

Speaking of this, Teng Shao paused. He heard about this, and immediately called Wu Si to his side. For Wu Zhenxiao's kindness to the Teng family back then, the Teng family could let Wu Yingying cook gold and jade for a lifetime, but she was neither from the Teng family. Relatives, and they are not relatives of the royal family. If they live for a long time, they will definitely attract rumors.

I heard that Wu Yingying is seventeen years old. Instead of relying on others, it is better to find a favorite marriage and marry immediately, and the Teng family can come forward to help manage all this.

Teng Shao never expected that Wu Si rejected him face to face, saying that the lady had an idea since she was a child, and she would not marry if she was not a prince or general. He also said that if General Teng could not help the lady to fulfill her wish, she would rather become a nun.

Prince General? Isn't this fantastic?

Teng Shao categorically said that he couldn't do it, and then he thought of one person and changed his mind: "Let's try it for now."

He waved Wu Si back and went to the backyard to find his wife to discuss the matter.

The wife looked at him meaningfully and smiled: "I know what she is thinking, she is giving you a problem."

The Wu family has withered away, and Wu Zhenxiao has only this bloodline left in the world. This child came to the Teng family from desperation, and once ended up being a nun, the world will only say that the Teng family is ruthless.

So no matter how difficult it is, Teng Shao has to fight for Wu Yingying.

"No matter how expensive she asks for money, you can satisfy her, but you can't do anything about this kind of high-level marriage. If you can't do it one day, she can stay at our house for one day." His wife teased him.

Teng Shao removed the stove under the quilt and wrapped his wife's cold feet with his warm and dry palms.

"I don't care what she thinks." He said coldly, "If she was not a descendant of General Wu, I would have sent her to a nunnery. Don't worry, I have a way. When the Zhao Kingdom united to attack Tubo, I met the King of Xinchang of Nanzhao Kingdom. This man was not married yet, and he was not a bad person. He was very longing for the extensive culture of the Central Plains. Long ago, he said that he wanted to marry a Central Plains woman. Wang is a veritable 'Prince and General', so I might as well connect him with Wu Yingying, General Wu has been loyal all his life and can find a good home for his descendants, so I have an explanation for my grandfather."

The wife laughed and put her face close: "I underestimate you, you can think of such a good way."

Teng Shao hugged his wife tightly in his arms.

In the past year, my wife has always been preoccupied with her thoughts. She went to the Buddhist temple to offer incense every three or five days, and she often had trouble sleeping at night. To this end, he made a special trip to invite a medical sage to help his wife recuperate her body, but her body was still not in good condition. Thinking about it, his eyebrows twisted into a deep Sichuan shape.

After negotiating with his wife, Teng Shao began to plan the matter. They made a painting for Wu Yingying and sent it to Nanzhao. At the same time, they presented the genealogy of the Wu family, and told the king of Xinchang that Wu Yingying’s ancestor was the Wu family of Nanyang, and her grandfather Wu Zhenxiao was a loyal general.

King Xinchang fell in love with Wu Yingying's portrait at first sight.

It didn't take long for his wife to become pregnant, and her health was worse than before. She always had nightmares at night. Yu'er was just the age to find a mother. Teng Shao was afraid that her daughter would quarrel with her mother during the day, so he spent most of the time in the inner courtyard with his wife. .

A few months later, news came from the imperial court that Tubo had entered the Kouhelong area, and the imperial court wanted to urgently dispatch the navy to help. Teng Shao was worried about his wife and daughter, but he couldn't resist the order. After discussing the military situation, Wu Yingying came back from outside the hospital that day. ask to see.

Teng Shao didn't want to pay attention to it at first, but Wu Yingying said that what she was going to say was related to the first battle in Nanyang more than 20 years ago, and it was about the glory of the Teng family, so she had to tell Teng Shao face to face.

Teng Shao secretly felt weird, so he invited Wu Yingying to the study.

Then, from Wu Yingying's mouth, he heard a secret that broke his heart and soul.

This secret was told to the concubine by Wu Zhenxiao once when he was drunk, and the concubine told the secret to his son again.

Teng Shao's first thought was to refuse to believe it, but the things Wu Yingying said can only be told by those who have experienced the battlefield. No one except Wu Zhenxiao could make up such a story.

In the battle of Nanyang that year, the soldiers in the city were already dead, and the only people in the world who knew this secret were the Wu family.

These remarks made Teng Shao lose his mind on the spot. Wu Yingying seemed to see his face changed suddenly, and promised herself that she would not tell others this secret, and also said that in order to thank General Teng for finding a good marriage for her, when General Teng set off on an expedition Before, I would like to send him off with a song.

Coincidentally, Yu'er came to the study to look for her grandfather and came across this scene. Teng Shao heard the sound of his daughter's footsteps running away, so he suddenly pulled his thoughts out of his daze.

He looked at Wu Yingying coldly, no matter whether it was true or not, Wu Yingying didn't say it sooner or later, but she told this secret before she got married, obviously because she didn't want to marry Nanzhao, and wanted to use this secret to threaten him.

He said coldly, "No one believes your statement. If you don't want to marry the King of Xinchang, you can tell Teng directly. You don't have to make up such appalling nonsense."

Wu Yingying froze for a moment, sighed and said that she was just joking, but she was actually very satisfied with the marriage.

Teng Shao was so distraught that he ordered Wu Yingying to be sent to a newly built mansion to be married. When King Xinchang came to marry her, she was not allowed to step into the mansion for half a step.

How could I know that my wife suddenly slipped tires after two days, and her mood plummeted.

I remember when he heard the news and rushed back to the room, the aroma of "rainy eaves and flowers falling" wafted all over the room.

After that, no matter how Teng Shao relieved his wife, his wife was always unhappy, no bright smile was seen on his face, and there was only abyss of despair in his eyes.

Teng Shao was in a lot of pain in his heart. He suspected that his wife had misunderstood him after listening to Yu'er's words. He hurriedly told his wife what happened that day, and only kept the terrifying secret of the Battle of Nanyang.

The wife only gently stroked his face and said that she was willing to believe him.

He said this, but his wife became colder and colder to him day by day, not letting him accompany her by the bed or listening to him. As soon as he got close, his wife closed her eyes and turned her face to the inside of the bed. I just often hold Yu'er in my arms and cry silently at every turn.

All kinds of performances seem to be extremely disappointed in him.

Teng Shao was sore and sore. He and his wife had been married for five years. He didn't even trust her at all. Instead of torturing her body like this, she might as well gouge out his flesh with a sharp knife.

Teng Shao was so worried that he sent someone from Chang'an overnight to invite the most skilled medical workers to diagnose and treat his wife.

It didn't take long for King Xinchang to lead the guard of honor of Nanzhao to marry him, and his wife finally showed a smile, saying that although King Xinchang was only a prince of Nanzhao, it was related to the diplomacy between the two countries. So she can send Wu Yingying to marry in person, and let him go to marry him with peace of mind. When he comes back, she will cut summer clothes for him by herself.

But when Teng Shao came back, what he saw was the cold body of his wife.

Teng Shao was immersed in memories, his eyes were full of red bloodshots: "All these years, Grandpa has always wondered, did he do something wrong? Maybe Grandpa should not agree to Wu Ziqi's entrustment in order to repay his kindness, but after Wu Yingying arrived at the mansion, she The lord immediately arranged a marriage for her with your aunt. In order to marry Wu Yingying as soon as possible, the grandfather dispatched all the forces in the court that could influence King Xinchang. After that, all arrangements were discussed with your aunt in advance.

"If your grandmother's illness is due to the suspicion that grandpa and Wu Yingying have an affair, why don't you ask your grandmother why she would rather trust an outsider than her own husband?!"

Teng Shao's voice was full of irony.

Teng Yuyi was already in tears, and shook her head with a trembling voice: "You are talking nonsense, A-Niang trusts Grandpa like that, so she won't be suspicious of you casually. Grandpa must have done something too much to let him Auntie is heartbroken."

Teng Shao's scarlet eyes stared at his daughter.

After a while, he staggered and stood up sadly: "Your aunt is a very transparent person, and after we got married, I was in the same relationship with me, if she didn't have a deep misunderstanding of grandpa, how could it be? You are so indifferent to grandpa, but no matter how I explain it, your grandma will not believe me. Husband and wife should be of the same mind, but your grandma turned against me because of an outsider. Do you think you are the only one who is worried? Grandpa More than you, I want to know what your grandmother thought back then!"

Teng Yuyi's breath was trembling, and she felt sad and angry in her heart: "You are not allowed to say that to A-Niang! Wu Yingying told Grandpa the secret of the battle of Nanyang, Grandpa, didn't you tell A-Niang? You must be hiding it from A-Niang, A-niang will be brooding!"

Teng Shao seemed to have been punched, and slumped back to the table: "This matter is just a one-sided remark by that Wu Yingying, how can I tell it to you as a fact? , Grandpa looked everywhere for the soldiers who survived the First World War in Nanyang, but no one knew more than the Wu family. Grandpa managed to piece together the clues. Today, I went to Huayang Lane to find Wu Yingying, just to ask her for evidence One last thing."

That humiliating look appeared on Teng Shao's face again, he closed his eyes, but his voice trembled uncontrollably: "Until today, Grandpa didn't realize that your grandma wasn't sick because of Wu Yingying's incident at all. But because of this secret of the Teng family, grandpa and I—almost took the pains of your grandmother."

That kind of ominous premonition rushed over Teng Yuyi's back, she stared at Grandpa without blinking, and further said, "So—what the **** is that?"

Teng Shao opened his eyes and looked at his daughter. This time, his expression was extremely gentle, as if he was going to take a good look at his daughter in place of his wife who died young.

"If Madam Hui sees your current appearance, I don't know how happy she will be. Before you know it... our Yu'er has grown so big."

"Grandpa!" Teng Yuyi snapped.

She was already in a mess: "What happened in the Battle of Nanyang?! Why do you say that A-Niang's death is also related to this?"

Teng Shao's eyebrows trembled. Someone has to pay the price, and that person should be him.

"You just need to remember that this matter has nothing to do with you." Teng Shao's lips were white, and he waved his hands extremely tiredly, "Everything is up to Grandpa, no evil will come to you in the future, and also, Grandpa doesn't I'm sorry for your aunt, you can let go of your heart and get along with him happily when you see him. Everything that should be said has been made clear, let's go back, grandpa is tired too. "

"Grandpa!!"

However, Teng Shao got up and strode to the door, opened the door and said, "Uncle Cheng, send the lady back to the inner courtyard. Are Lu Yan and the others here?"

"Come on, just waiting for the master to call."

"Tell them to come in." In a blink of an eye, Teng Shao regained his previous determined look.

Teng Yuyi glared at Grandpa's back. She knew that tonight, don't try to pry a word out of Grandpa's mouth. She heard faint voices coming from outside. No matter how uneasy or reluctant she was, she could only Step by step to leave the study.

***

Qing Xuzi held the candlestick in person and lit a spot on the paper.

"Look, if the wrong hook was cast before Teng Shao was born, then Teng Shao should not have lived to adulthood, but not only did he live safely to the age of thirty-eight, but he also made great achievements many times. The person who hated Teng Shao. That person cast a wrong hook spell on Teng Shao's children out of hatred, so Mrs. Teng was very good-looking, but she was born with a very fierce fate. If no one helped her Borrowing his life, he will never live to be sixteen years old.

"Today I heard that Teng Shao also died in the so-called previous life, so the teacher took the initiative to change the inference, what if that person hated Teng Yuanhao? Teng Shao was four years old when Teng Yuanhao died for his country, and his father and brother went to the battlefield. too young to stay at home.

"If someone casts a curse on Teng Yuanhao's descendants when he dies, Mrs. Teng's bloodline of the Teng family will inevitably be doomed, but Teng Shao was four years old at the time, and the curse that fell on him was not that serious, so He could grow up, but because of the influence of the wrong hook, he died in the end."

Lin Chengyou pondered and continued: "And the time to cast the spell must be between Teng Shao's birth and four years old. If the spell was cast before he was born, Teng Shao would not live to be sixteen years old, and after the age of four, he would Father is already dead, that person can't cast the wrong hook on the dead."

Judging from this time, the last time Teng Yuanhao was likely to be cursed was during the Battle of Nanyang.

Lin Chengyou frowned, but it was a brilliant battle to defend the city. After this battle, Teng Yuanhao became a famous general.

Whether it was an enemy soldier or a general of one's own side, it was impossible to hate Teng Yuanhao for casting the wrong spell. After all, swords had no eyes on the battlefield, and victory or defeat was a common thing in military affairs.

This curse is so cruel that the person who cast the curse will not only lose his soul on the spot, but also cannot be reincarnated for eternity.

As for the people in the city, I heard that Teng Yuanhao sent them out of the city using a secret channel.

The common people should only be grateful to Teng Yuanhao, and there can be no hatred.

So what the **** is going on here...

Qing Xuzi seemed to be at a loss: "This matter is too weird. Let's not talk about who Teng Yuanhao has offended. Everyone has six reincarnations, but Lady Teng has reincarnated in the same two lives. It can be seen that as long as someone helps her borrow My life will be reborn again. The master guessed that what Teng Yuanhao did must be outrageous, and there may even be more than one person who cursed him, otherwise he would not provoke such a strong curse, and to resolve it, he can only do extraordinary things."

Lin Chengyou thought anxiously, Teng Yuanhao is a sturdy old hero, why did he attract such a strong resentment.

"Didn't Li Sanniang have the same two lives, what can I say?"

"Li Sanniang died of the epidemic in the previous life, but today, the teacher does not look like a short-lived person. The teacher guessed that she borrowed Teng's birth date for her own benefit, which brought disaster and fell on Teng's wrong hook. The curse is not trivial. As long as Li Sanniang made a wish in the name of Lady Teng in front of the Buddha, her resentment would also be stained on her. Therefore, she had a long life in her previous life, but she died because of the epidemic. I heard that she often went to Lady Teng's house. Maybe she stole something from Mrs. Teng, you might as well interrogate this matter."

Lin Chengyou was upset: "Looking at it this way, to resolve the disaster on Teng Yuyi's body, is it not enough to just take your life?"

Qing Xuzi stroked his beard: "Don't worry first, the bell has to be tied to the bell. You have to understand what happened to the Teng family that year, and then we can come up with a plan to deal with it. General Teng guessed that there was suffering, after all He was only four years old at the time. The expedition is imminent, you can go with General Teng, and find a suitable opportunity to ask what you need to ask. Even if General Teng is for the safety of his daughter, he will not refuse to say it. "

Lin Chengyou suddenly remembered that Wu Qi said that Haoyue Sanren had said that there would be a catastrophe in Chang'an as early as a month ago.

There have been so many silhouettes in Chang'an recently, maybe this has something to do with the disaster in Teng Yuyi's destiny.

He had planned to help Teng Yuyi find the pair of Bu Yao before the expedition, so why not take the opportunity to carefully search the underground palace of Yu Zhen Nu Guan Guan. There may be some unexpected gains.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed first, you will be busy tomorrow, and the disciples and grandchildren will also go back to the residence to rest."

Saying that, he hurried out of the palace.

***

The next day, Lin Chengyou was busy all day, and did not find time until the evening to go to the Jade Zhen Nu Guan Guan.

After the Haoyue Sanren subdued the law, the imperial court specially sent a large number of imperial guards to guard it here.

Lin Chengyou nodded at the guard at the door, and stepped into the gate with one foot.

After entering the observation, he did not go to the other side, but went directly to the underground palace. The last time he and Teng Yuyi met Naizhong was in the main hall on the first floor, but the underground palace had three floors, and the layout was like three interlaced "chessboards". Go, it will immediately cause the dislocation of the chessboard. Although the officials of Dali Temple only went down to the underground palace to search once, it was impossible for Teng Yuyi to move in the same position as last time.

Fortunately, this underground palace is ever-changing, and the angle of each change of the "chessboard" is also constant.

Lin Chengyou made a silent calculation in the dark, and with a sigh, he lit the glass lamp in his hand with a fire stick.

***

Teng Yuyi didn't see Grandpa all day. Thinking of the conversation with Grandpa last night, she felt like a ball of cotton was stuck in her chest. When I think of my mother, my heart is full of sadness.

On this day, she was shrouded in an uneasy cloud, ran to the front yard countless times, and fluttered countless times.

I waited until the evening, but I couldn't block my grandfather. Cheng Bo came in and told her that grandpa went to Xiying and was about to set off for an expedition that night. Teng Yuyi was like being poured from head to toe by a basin of cold water, and her heart was chilled.

Going out to look for grandpa at this time will only reveal the whereabouts of grandpa.

After thinking about it, she could only wait.

After waiting for a while, the night was getting darker and darker, the bright moon hung high on the treetops, summer insects were chirping, Teng Yuyi leaned against the lantern and used a small fan to draw wind to herself, but no matter how cool the wind was, it couldn't calm the anxiety in her heart. .

After fanning for a while, Teng Yuyi threw the fan to Chunrong behind her, took out the Xiaoya sword, played swordsmanship in the yard, and practiced a few sets. Later, I thought that my heart would be somewhat calmer, but I didn't expect that a heart would still be chaotic.

Teng Yuyi stood in the corridor and took a deep breath: "Biluo, bring me a few pots of Shijingchunlai. I haven't had a drink for a long time. I want to have a good drink tonight."

Biluo and Chunrong hurriedly said, "My lady, you are in trouble, and you should get drunk quickly when you drink."

"Stop chattering, go get some wine."

The second maid had no choice but to put some side dishes on the stone table in the yard, and serve it with a pot of wine.

Teng Yuyi pulled out the lid of the pot, raised his neck and drank all the wine in the pot.

Chunrong and Biluo persuaded: "My lady, no matter how good you drink, you can't stand drinking like this. Be careful when you wake up tomorrow morning with a headache."

Teng Yuyi put the empty wine jug on the table heavily on her own: "Go, heat another jug."

After drinking one pot and another pot, Teng Yuyi gradually felt like a fairy, and all the heavy thoughts that had been accumulated in his mind disappeared.

After an unknown amount of time, someone vaguely heard someone shouting, "Oh, it scared me to death, that's a black panther!"

"Sir, you can't come in, lady, she's drunk—"

***

It was already midnight when Lin Chengyou arrived at the Teng Mansion, so it was not appropriate to come to Teng Yuyi so late, but the Shence Army was going to leave the camp tomorrow, and he would have to go back to the palace tonight. Teng Yuyi said, so as soon as Cheng Bo came out to greet him, he said straight to the point: "Cheng Bo, I have something important to tell your wife in person. Please come out immediately."

Cheng Bo glanced at the little black panther at Lin Chengyou's feet and nodded in agreement.

It didn't take long for Cheng Bo to come out alone: ​​"Sir, why don't you come back tomorrow morning, lady, she's drunk."

Lin Chengyou was in a turmoil in his heart, and he frowned when he heard the words, why did Teng Yuyi drink so well, why did he suddenly get drunk. Looking at Junnu at his feet, he stepped out of the middle hall: "I'll go in and find her. There is something that needs to be handed over to your wife in person. It won't take too long, just say a few words to her and leave."

Cheng Bo was anxious, how could this be possible, that was the inner courtyard, the lady and the prince became familiar again, after all, men and women were different.

"It is absolutely impossible, Shizi, you give things to the villain, and let the villain hand it over to the lady."

Lin Chengyou waved his hand in front: "It's fine on weekdays, this thing has to be handed over to your wife, and I have to explain some things to her face to face, Cheng Bo, you don't want your wife to accidentally do something while I'm not in Chang'an. Taboo."

Cheng Bo was startled.

After a stunned time, Lin Chengyou had already left.

In this way, they rushed to Tan Shangyue, and before they had time to go in and report, the little maids at the door were startled and screamed by the little black panther at Lin Chengyou's feet.

"Sister Biluo, Sister Chunrong, a black leopard came to the gate of the courtyard."

Cheng Bo scolded the little maids, and took a few steps to stop Lin Chengyou: "Shizi stop for a while, the villain goes in and informs the lady."

Lin Chengyou cleared his throat, blamed him, and hurriedly told Teng Yuyi, but he didn't care about the etiquette for a while, and stopped walking with his hands behind his back, Uncle Chong smiled apologetically: "I was too rash, please tell Uncle Cheng, I'll just wait for her here. ."

Unexpectedly, the movement at the door had already spread inside.

A man was sitting crookedly at the stone table in the courtyard, when he suddenly saw the tall figure outside, he first blinked, then rubbed his eyes, put down his hand and looked at it for a while, and suddenly pushed away Biluo and Chunrong's. Arm: "Lin Chengyou, you are here."

Although Lin Chengyou stood outside the door, his eyes did not look in at all. Hearing the voice, he couldn't help turning his head, but saw Teng Yuyi sitting under the tree.

"Come here, come quickly." Teng Yuyi smiled and waved at him.

"Miss!" Cheng Bo and Chunrong Biluo suddenly felt inappropriate, and in order to dissuade the lady, they hurriedly surrounded her.

Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi was so powerful after drinking that he waved his hand to push the second maid away. Cheng Bo is a man after all, so it's not easy to lean too forward. Teng Yuyi slapped the stone table and stood up staggeringly on the table: "Go away, I want to see Lin Chengyou...you, come in, what are you doing standing there?"

Lin Chengyou could already see that Teng Yuyi was very drunk, and after hearing her call him that, he couldn't help walking towards her.

"Why are you so drunk?" He was a little funny, looking at the hibiscus jade face dyed with red glow, his eyes couldn't move for a while, it turned out that Teng Yuyi looked so naive when he was drunk.

Teng Yuyi smiled and waved at him, "Come here, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Lin Chengyou had no choice but to walk over to her. As soon as he got close, before he could speak, Teng Yuyi grabbed his arm, dragged him a few steps in front of a group of people, and then staggered and pointed at the person in front of him. Langhe: "...I want to... go up, but my legs don't obey me. You came just right, lend me some light work."

"Miss!" This time, not only Cheng Bo, but Duan Fu also rushed over to stop him.

Lin Chengyou pulled out his arm, turned his head and said to Cheng Bo, "I didn't expect her to be so drunk, so I'll take time for a visit tomorrow morning, and you can help her into the room."

Turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, Teng Yuyi's hands were entangled again, hugging Lin Chengyou's arm like a radish and not letting go: "I... have something to tell him, don't bother me, if you talk more, I'll cry for you. Duanfu, you go. let you go
