Qiao Wei was tired all night, and even the biological clock in her body went on strike. When the two little buns walked over with bare feet, she was still snoring softly.
Wang Shu opened his watery eyes wide, with an expression that my mother is not awake even though I am awake.
Ji Mingxiu put his slender index finger to his lips, and the two nodded sensibly. Ji Mingxiu got off the bed gently, tucked the corners of the quilt for Qiao Wei, and took a pair of little buns' hands out of the room.
After washing up and eating breakfast, Qiao Wei still didn't wake up. Ji Mingxiu sent the three of them to the academy, returned to Ji's house, and read the book for half an hour. Qiao Wei finally woke up faintly. When she opened her eyes, she found that It was already high in the sun, looked at Ji Mingxiu behind the desk, yawned and said, "It's so late, why didn't you call me? What about Jing Yun and the others?"
"I went to the academy, are you hungry?" Ji Mingxiu put down his book and walked over calmly.
He was wearing a plain white toga, with a jade-like face and a loose temperament, which was pleasing to the eye.
Qiao Wei had a good time admiring her husband's prosperous beauty, and got out of bed in a happy mood.
Ji Mingxiu didn't eat a few bites in the morning, and now he had another meal with Qiao Wei. The two of them didn't eat much, and a bowl of noodles was almost enough. After eating two more mouthfuls of buns, their stomachs couldn't hold them anymore, so they Put down the chopsticks.
Bi'er came in with a bowl of chicken soup with a strange smell: "Madam, please take it easy."
Qiao Wei sniffed it: "Why does it smell like medicine?"
Ji Mingxiu took a spoonful and fed it into her mouth: "Anti-fetal medicine."
"puff-"
Qiao Wei was so startled that she spurted out a mouthful of soup!
Ji Mingxiu silently removed the folding fan covering his face, fortunately he was prepared.
After taking another spoonful to feed her, Qiao Wei leaned back to avoid the spoon he handed over: "I'm not pregnant!"
Ji Mingxiu said solemnly: "How do you know? Maybe she was pregnant last night, but it's just too young to have a happy pulse."
Qiao Wei blew her bangs speechlessly, can she tell this guy that all the tadpoles he released last night are still fighting for the top
"Come on, open your mouth." Ji Mingxiu fed the spoon to her lips.
Qiao Wei didn't want to drink it ten thousand times, Ji Mingxiu coaxed and lied, and finally resorted to the trump card - the angry kiss of the domineering prime minister, and finally poured a bowl of anti-fetal medicine into it without leaking.
It poured into the prime minister's own stomach...
After breakfast, Ji Mingxiu went to Tongyuan. Counting the days, the old lady and the second room should be back. He asked Ji Shangqing if he wanted to arrange someone to pick him up.
After he went out, Bi'er sneaked in, blushing, and said in a soft voice: "Ma'am, can I ask for a day off?"
"Okay." Qiao Wei said very straightforwardly, "Just explain the matter at hand to Yan'er Chan'er."
"Thank you ma'am." Bi'er said with a smile.
Qiao Wei put down the account book in her hand, and gave her a meaningful look: "What kind of happy event, so happy?"
Bi'er coughed lightly, and said happily: "Today...Xiao Wei is going to my house to propose marriage."
Qiao Wei smiled pleasantly: "Hey, he's going to propose a marriage! If you don't mention it, I'm afraid your mother will marry you off!"
Bi'er tucked her hair behind her ears and said shyly, "I just saved enough for the dowry."
Bandit No. 11 and No. 2 spent more than half a year saving on food and clothing, and they should have saved a lot, enough to fill Feng's vanity of selling his daughter.
It is a good thing for lovers to get married in the end. Qiao Wei has no reason not to agree. She not only granted Bi Er a day off, but also asked Ming An to send her a special trip. She loaded a car full of bags and let her go back home in style. a trip home.
Beer went thankfully.
But not long after, it turned back again.
Qiao Wei looked at her wonderingly: "What's the matter? Are you leaving again?"
Bi'er hurriedly said: "No, I'm leaving, it's... someone from outside, said to be a disciple of the National Teacher Hall, and wants to see his wife and uncle."
…
Qiao Wei went to Tongyuan, called Ji Mingxiu, and went to the flower hall together.
In the flower hall, the two saw the senior disciple of the National Master Hall, but after a few days of not seeing each other, the senior disciple's face was rather haggard.
At the beginning, Ji Mingxiu made a bet with the national teacher, and after the disastrous defeat of the national teacher, Ji Mingxiu planned to take the life of the national teacher, but the eldest disciple helped steal the secret book, and dispatched dead soldiers to help Qiao Wei, which broke the national teacher's palace. After the six high-ranking dead men, Ji Mingxiu had already decided to stay with the National Teacher for a long time, so why did this wizard come to him
The eldest disciple made a Central Plains salute to the two: "Prime Minister, little Dolma."
Ji Mingxiu looked at him: "What's the matter?"
The eldest disciple lowered his eyes, paused, and sighed slightly: "My master is awake, he wants to see you."
Qiao Wei said indifferently: "If it's for his life, you go and tell him there's no need for it. It's my fault that you lost six dead men in the National Teacher's Hall this time. We don't want his life."
The eldest disciple said in a low voice: "Little Dolma is serious. On that day, Concubine Rong made up her mind to include the National Teacher Hall. If I hadn't called those dead men, I'm afraid my life would have been lost. I should thank little Dolma's master and Dolma for arriving in time, so I survived."
Qiao Wei cleared her throat: "It's good that you know."
The eldest disciple looked at the two of them and said: "Then... the prime minister and little Dolma would like to come with me into the palace to meet my master?"
…
A quarter of an hour later, the two got into the carriage entering the palace.
"Tell me, what does the national teacher want to tell us?" Qiao Wei asked curiously.
Ji Mingxiu slightly hooked the corners of his lips: "I don't know what he wants to say, I just know what I want to ask."
"What do you want to ask?" Qiao Wei asked.
Ji Mingxiu stroked her beautiful hair and said, "My mother, Concubine Rong, and my aunt."
"There are also secrets." Qiao Wei added.
Ji Mingxiu smiled lightly and took her into his arms.
Xu didn't sleep well last night, the carriage was swaying, and Qiao Wei fell asleep again.
She had a dream. She dreamed that on the day when the secret book was stolen, she chased the falcon out of Ji's house. She stood on the roof and watched the falcon and the golden eagle tear the secret book in half. Toss it the secret book, and the falcon flies away with the last page hanging.
The golden eagle chased after it, but at this moment, the woman holding the blood moon bow appeared.
She wore a black cloak, a white veil, and a pair of cold silver silk gloves.
Qiao Wei's gaze was involuntarily attracted to her, as if she felt Qiao Wei's scrutiny, she looked at Qiao Wei, she was smiling, and those ice-like eyes reflected a sneer.
Qiao Wei was pleasantly surprised!
The person in his arms shivered, and Ji Mingxiu subconsciously hugged her tightly, opened and closed his eyes, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Qiao Wei wiped the cold sweat off her forehead: "I had a dream."
"What did you dream about?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
"I dreamed of the woman who shot me...Her eyes..." Qiao Wei closed her eyes and tried to recall those eyes, but she couldn't recall them at all, but the familiarity left in the dream made her feel that she had known him before, " Have I met Concubine Rong before?"
Ji Mingxiu said with great certainty: "Before you were injured, no."
"That's strange. If I haven't met Concubine Rong, how can I feel those eyes are familiar?"
Qiao Wei muttered, the carriage arrived at the palace, Ji Mingxiu got out of the carriage, and then handed her the hand, Qiao Wei jumped down holding his hand.
The eldest disciple got off from another carriage and led the two of them to Changhuan Palace.
After the incident with Concubine Rong, the security of the Changhuan Palace was much stricter than before. Not only did the guards in Daliang double, but the disciples of the National Teacher Palace and the warriors of the Huns all took turns guarding at their gates.
"Prime Minister, little Dolma, this way please." The eldest disciple led the two of them to a room with guards at the door, "Master, the prime minister and little Dolma are here."
Master Guoshi said something in Yeluo language, and the first disciple pushed open the half-hidden door and made a gesture of invitation.
Ji Mingxiu took Qiao Wei's hand into Master Guoshi's room.
The eldest disciple also came in and gave some instructions to the disciples at the door. The two disciples responded, and he closed the door gently.
The national teacher was sitting on the bed, leaning on a royal blue four-happiness osmanthus twig big welcome pillow behind him, he was covered with a quilt from the waist down, his complexion was not very good, there were several wrinkles, and his gray hair changed even more. It's silvery white.
A stove was lit in the room, and medicine was simmering on the stove. The strong smell of medicine permeated the whole room, covering the aroma of the cream that Qiao Weilin wiped off before going out.
The eldest disciple poured a bowl of medicine for the national teacher, brought it to the bedside, and said reverently: "Master, you drink the medicine."
Yuemo is taking care of Qiao Wei, the little Zhuoma who can't understand Yeluo's language, and he tries to speak the Central Plains dialect as much as possible.
Master Guoshi took the bowl and drank it vigorously.
The eldest disciple put down the medicine bowl, boiled a pot of tea, and filled a bowl for Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu.
Yeluo people's tea is not for drinking, but for eating, with salt and orange peel added.
To be honest, Qiao Wei had never tasted this kind of tea, but it smelled very fragrant, so she took a weak taste and almost threw up.
The tea art of the Yeluo people and the cooking skills of the Yin people really cannot be tried lightly!
I drank the medicine and ate the tea, and now it's time to get down to business.
Ji Mingxiu put down the tea bowl, and said calmly, "I don't know what is the matter that Master Guoshi is looking for us?"
The national teacher and the first disciple whispered a few words, the first disciple nodded, looked at Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei and said, "My master asked you, did you change his blood moon bow?"
Seeing that the senior disciple didn't look surprised at all, he should have known about this from the national teacher.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "Who changed your bow? Don't be bloody, our Ji family used to have one!"
The national teacher said a few more words to the senior disciple, and the senior disciple said: "My master said that there are only two blood moon bows in total, and the other one is not in Ji's house. The blood moon bow in your hands was exchanged from his old man. , the blood moon bow is the treasure of the town hall passed down by the ancestor, please return it quickly."
Qiao Wei said, "Your master is really interesting. I lost the bet, and instead of thinking about how to repay the debt, I asked our creditor for the debt. Is there something wrong with him? I thought your master was so anxious to find us, is it? How honest you want to take the initiative to repay the debt, if you knew it was pouring dirty water on us, we would not come here without saying anything! Oh, no, we still have to come, we have to get back what your master lost to us."
Qiao Wei spoke a little too fast, but the national teacher didn't understand, the senior disciple translated it in Yeluo dialect, the national teacher's expression became a little ugly, what did the senior disciple say to him, he sighed for a long time.
The eldest disciple said: "Okay, let's not mention the blood moon bow in advance, let's settle the bet from the beginning. My master said that his life can be paid to you, but the princess's body..."
"What happened to my mother's body?" Ji Mingxiu's eyes turned cold.
The eldest disciple glanced at the national teacher, and the national teacher nodded. He mustered up his courage and said: "To be honest, the princess's body is not in my master's hands. It is in Yeluo's royal court. If you really want to return the princess's body , he can help you plead with King Yeluo."
"Forgiveness?" Qiao Wei stood up abruptly, glaring at the two of them angrily, "Why didn't you say that my mother-in-law's body was not in your hands when you placed the bet? You are fraudulent! Dishonest! So despicable! What a shame!"
The eldest disciple was so terrified by Qiao Wei's yelling: "It's... because of this... I, I, I... that I persuaded my master... to give you the Blood Moon Bow..."
Qiao Wei grabbed his skirt and lifted him up from the chair: "Is the blood moon bow useless? I want my mother-in-law! I warn you, little wizard, if he fails to hand over my mother-in-law's body, I will Regardless of how many soldiers died in your National Teacher Hall, I will kill him today!"
The eldest disciple said fearfully: "You... don't get excited... King Yeluo listens to my master very much... as long as my master makes a random excuse... he can return the princess to you..."
Qiao Wei glared at the national teacher fiercely: "Is this true?!"
The eldest disciple repeated what he had said just now in Yeluo language, and the national teacher nodded in pain.
Qiao Wei looked at Ji Mingxiu, and Ji Mingxiu said expressionlessly, "Let it go."
Qiao Wei let go of the eldest disciple.
The eldest disciple fell back on the chair, drenched in cold sweat.
Qiao Wei also sat back in her chair, but after going through this situation just now, she didn't have any good looks towards the pair of masters anymore.
Ji Mingxiu looked at the national teacher fixedly, and said calmly: "I have lost interest in your life, but you must return my mother's body to me, otherwise I will be able to abolish him today. It can also destroy your National Teacher Hall, if you don't believe it, just try it."
The national teacher closed his eyes and took a deep breath, not knowing what Ji Mingxiu's words reminded him, a trace of pain and fear flashed across his expression, and he whispered a few words.
The first disciple translated: "My master said, he promised you."
"Also." Ji Mingxiu asked, "I would like to know what your National Teacher Hall's plan is? Why did you come to Daliang? Why did you deal with the Ji family?"
The eldest disciple looked at the national teacher worriedly, the national teacher gave him a gesture to continue, he sighed helplessly, and said, "Let me talk about this matter, how much does the prime minister know about Princess Zhaoming's life experience?" ?”
Ji Mingxiu said: "If you mean the Gu family and Yunzhu, then I know almost all of them."
The eldest disciple said: "So you already know, then you should also understand that there is a deep blood feud between the National Teacher Palace and Yunzhu. After my master succeeded the position of the National Teacher, he never gave up the idea of seeking revenge on Yunzhu. Cailian Mountain never came out again, and our people were all murdered inexplicably when they found it. As time passed, no one dared to enter Cailian Mountain anymore.
But if we don't break in, it doesn't mean we let Yunzhu go. We are guarding. One day, Yunzhu left Cailian Mountain. We went to chase and kill Yunzhu, but let Yunzhu escape. After that, Yunzhu never came back.
Yunzhu killed so many disciples of the National Master Hall back then, and the Ji family has her descendants, so my master... just put the blame on the Ji family. We came to Daliang this time purely to avenge the past. Yunzhu killed the disciples of the National Teacher Hall, so we killed Yunzhu's descendants. "
Qiao Wei exploded in an instant: "It's even! The grievance has its head and the debtor, what do you juniors do with the enmity between your National Teacher Hall and Yunzhu? We didn't go to bloodbath the National Teacher Hall! Besides, when Yunzhu You don’t know why Pearl washed the National Teacher Hall with blood? You didn’t kill her daughter, so could she seek revenge from you? In the final analysis, the reason why your National Teacher Hall was bloodbathed was caused by your master himself! If you really want revenge, kill yourself first!"
Both the master and the apprentice were scolded so badly that the eldest disciple broke into a cold sweat. Why on earth did he invite this woman here...
Ji Mingxiu said again: "Then what's the matter with my aunt? She is also a descendant of Yunzhu, but Master Guoshi seems to care about her especially?"
The first disciple took a breath and said, "It's not my master who cares, it's King Yeluo who cares."
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows and said, "Don't you King Yeluo already know that she is not the real Princess Zhaoming? Why do you still care about her so much?"
The eldest disciple said: "The queen is also quite attractive..."
That's right, my aunt is a very attractive woman!
Qiao Wei thought for a while, and then said: "What's the matter with my aunt? What was her identity before she became Queen Yeluo?"
The eldest disciple looked at his master, and the national teacher talked to him for a long time. He nodded knowingly, and said to Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei: "My master said that he didn't know about the Queen's past. Through the Lixi tribe, I disguised Queen Yeluo as Princess Zhaoming and gave it to the king. My master just wanted to please the king, but I didn’t expect to be seen through by the king. The king was angry with my master for a long time, but the queen gradually With his favor, he no longer blames my master."
I thought that the national teacher would know about my aunt's past, but I didn't expect that the clues would be interrupted here.
Qiao Wei frowned, and said again: "How did your master meet my aunt?"
The national teacher talked to the first disciple, and the first disciple translated: "It was the man who sent the queen to my master."
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin, wondering: "That person? The one who stole your master's secret book last time?"
The national teacher nodded.
The eldest disciple said: "That's right, it's him (her)."
Qiao Wei said with a chuckle, "You guys are responsible for my mother-in-law's body, right?"
The eldest disciple lowered his head: "Yes."
That being said, Qiao Wei understands that the mysterious man found Queen Yeluo back then and dedicated him to the national teacher, so the national teacher thought of a scene where Li Daitao froze. Big ambitions are unknown.
In short, if the plan is to be successful, the remains of Gongzhuling must first disappear, so that King Yeluo can better believe that his aunt is Zhaoming.
The national teacher's strategy can be regarded as flawless, but what is more seamless than the strategy is the mysterious master in the dark.
"Is he male or female?" Qiao Wei asked.
The national teacher's lips moved, and the eldest disciple was surprised, and said, "Woman."
"Concubine Rong?" Qiao Wei asked casually.
The master of the state teacher shook his head, the eldest disciple passed his ear over, nodded while listening, then looked at Qiao Wei and said, "It's not Concubine Rong, but my master can tell you with certainty that the blood moon bow in Concubine Rong's hand is that Women's."
really.
Qiao Wei was not at all surprised by this result. When she learned that there were two Blood Moon Bows, she felt that the other one belonged to the mysterious black hand, but she always thought that the mysterious black hand was Concubine Rong. , if the other party was captured so easily, he would not have been able to escape from the Yin clan in the first place.
This is a powerful and very cunning opponent.
"What's the relationship between Concubine Rong and that woman?" Ji Mingxiu asked.
The eldest disciple said: "If my master's guess is correct, it should be the master and apprentice, Concubine Rong is the apprentice, and she is the master. Also, my master asked me to tell you that Concubine Rong can't exert the full power of the blood moon bow at all, so The person who nearly shot Little Dolma to death that day... probably wasn't Concubine Rong, but her."
Damn woman, she got a fake Xibei product to frame her in Yinzu, and now she is shooting her with a blood moon bow. Qiao Wei suddenly felt that this person was actually coming for her, and had nothing to do with the Ji family.
This is interesting.
After that, the young couple asked the national teacher a lot of things, and the national teacher answered them one by one. Before leaving, Qiao Wei asked the national teacher for the last page of the secret book.
Qiao Wei was actually not sure that the national teacher had read the secret book of Nine Suns Palm, but she just had an attitude of giving it a try. Unexpectedly, the national teacher remembered it when a blind cat ran into a dead mouse!
The national teacher lifted the quilt and got out of bed, put on the cloth shoes, and walked slowly towards the desk with the support of the first disciple.
Ji Mingxiu's eyes fell on his shoes, and Qiao Wei followed his gaze, and saw that there was a small hole in the national teacher's shoes, which couldn't be seen unless he looked carefully, which meant that Mingxiu was as careful as dust, Just found out.
Qiao Wei couldn't help but wonder, the lowest level disciples in the National Teacher Hall all wear purple gold crowns, is it that his imposing national teacher is so poor that he can't even afford good shoes
Qiao Wei didn't take this matter to heart, and after getting the last page of the secret book, she bid farewell to Master Guoshi.
The national teacher asked the eldest disciple to send the two out.
When the shadows of the two disappeared at the end of the path, behind the screen, a black figure suddenly stepped out, wearing a black cloak, plain white veil and a pair of silver gloves.
She smiled slowly: "You did a good job."
Master Guo Shi looked at her coldly.
She smiled and said, "I don't know if I will die if I practice the fake secrets. Don't worry, I won't break my promise to you. Let your disciple come in."
The eldest disciple sent Ji Mingxiu and his wife away and went back to the house.
She walked up to the eldest disciple, stretched out her hand, and slapped him on the chest. The eldest disciple trembled twice, and she slowly withdrew her hand: "Okay, the poison in the palm has been cured, and we both clean up." ,National Division."
…
But after the two of them left the palace, Qiao Wei took out the secret book happily and read it over and over again. Although she didn't understand Ye Luowen, it didn't hinder her mood. With the last exercise, meditation and the master of the little bastard The poison will be cured easily!
Unexpectedly, she wasn't happy enough yet, so Ji Mingxiu reached out his hand, took the secret book, and crumpled it into a ball of paper.
Qiao Wei flew to snatch his paper ball: "Hey? What are you doing! You're crazy!"
Ji Mingxiu sighed softly: "This secret book is fake."
Qiao Wei was taken aback: "Fake? How do you know?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "The national teacher told me."
Qiao Wei's eyeballs moved: "He...how did I know when he told you?"
Ji Mingxiu smiled faintly: "It's all written on his shoes."
Qiao Wei opened her mouth: "You don't mean that broken shoe?"
"Um."
"There's no writing on the shoes..." Qiao Wei frowned, and murmured softly, "Broken shoes, broken shoes, coercion? Was he coerced?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded.
Qiao Wei was about to be stunned? That's okay too? It's really simple and rude!
The master of the national teacher is not good at Chinese, so the only thing he can think of is this, but it is not easy to think of this, the national teacher took a lot of effort.
As for who the person who threatened the national teacher is, there is no need to guess. Besides the mysterious black hand, who else can have such a skill
When they talked to the national teacher just now, that person must have been in the room, but none of them sensed her existence, which shows how extraordinary this person is.
Thinking of something, Qiao Wei asked: "The secret book is fake, so what the national teacher told us is also fake?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "That's not true, what the national teacher said is true."
The national teacher needs to reveal enough truth to gain their trust, to be precise, let that person think that the national teacher has their trust, because only in this way, they will unreservedly believe that the secret book written by the national teacher is true.
Qiao Wei thought for a while, and felt that she couldn't swallow the breath, so she stood up and said, "I'll go see her!"
Ji Mingxiu took her hand: "It's useless, she has already left."
Qiao Wei clenched her fists.
Ji Mingxiu broke her hand away amusedly: "Don't worry, we've reached this point, and the truth is not far away."
And it's... very close, very close.
