Hu Xiang slowly squeezed the handkerchief in his hand, turned his head and smiled apologetically at Fang Chaozhou, "Hu Xiang is useless, it's really Hu Xiang's fault for making Uncle Jiu Huang worry about me. See Grandpa Huang, and Uncle Nine Emperors will be free some other day, so Hu Xiang will hold a banquet to apologize to Uncle Nine Emperors."
Fang Chaozhou heard the words and directly refused, "There is no need to hold a banquet, I have already inedia, eating mortal food is useless, but harmful." He looked behind, and the group of people saw Hu Xiang coming out, and now they all knelt down Go down, "Let's stop standing here, let's go in quickly."
Hu Xiang nodded lightly, "Then invite Uncle Nine Emperors to get on the sedan chair."
After the words fell, several people came over carrying a soft sedan chair. Fang Chaozhou looked at the several people carrying the sedan chair, thought for a while, and asked tentatively: "Why don't you all take my flying sword? It will be very fast."
"Okay." Hu Xiang didn't change his face when he heard Fang Chaozhou's words, and raised his hand to stop the person next to him who wanted to say something.
Seeing that the other party agreed, Fang Chaozhou immediately enlarged his flying sword. He got on the sword first, and then reached out to support Hu Xiang who was in the front. When Hu Xiang saw the hand stretched out in front of her, her long eyelashes trembled, and then she put her own hand on it.
As soon as Fang Chaozhou held Hu Xiang's hand, he pulled the person up, asked him to find a place to stand, and stretched out his hand to pull the next person. When Hu Xiang saw Fang Chaozhou's movements, his eyes changed, and when the next person saw Hu Xiang's eyes, he immediately took a few steps back, "Ninth Prince, you are welcome, Wei Chen and others will not sit on the flying sword, We will go back in a sedan chair later."
Fang Chaozhou persuaded a few words, saying that his flying sword is fast and will arrive soon, but those people are unwilling to come up. He thinks it is not good to delay the time. The group of people are still kneeling, so they can only say: "Okay, then let's go first."
After saying that, he set up a barrier for Hu Xiang behind him, so as to prevent the other party from being blown down by the wind when Yu Jian was flying later.
As soon as Feijian went up to the sky, Hu Xiang's already pale face turned completely pale. He glanced at the scenery under his feet. Those people were as small as ants. He only took one look, then immediately raised his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he naturally saw the young man with his back turned to him.
Wearing a single robe, he stood up against the wind, obviously standing in a high place, but the opponent was not afraid at all.
Is this the monk? It's different from mortals like them.
Fang Chaozhou Yujian flew for a while, and saw a palace in the city. He looked back at Hu Xiang behind him, and saw that the other party's face was pale, his eyes were closed, and his standing body trembled slightly, as if he was about to faint at any time In the past, he quickly reached out and clasped the opponent's wrist, using his spiritual energy.
However, Fang Chaozhou knew that the other party was a mortal body, so he didn't dare to cross too much. He only crossed a little bit. Seeing that Hu Xiang's face was not so pale, he withdrew his hand, "Nephew, the palace under your feet is the imperial palace, right?"
Hu Xiang opened his eyes after Fang Chaozhou grabbed his wrist. Hearing Fang Chaozhou's words, he gritted his teeth and looked down, then immediately looked away. Fang Chaozhou nodded, "Yes, but the palace is I can no longer control the sword, so I will trouble Uncle Nine Emperors to sit in the sedan chair with me later."
"Then let's go down and stand firm."
Normally, Fang Chaozhou would fall to the ground all at once, but now that he brought a mortal, he could only slow down the speed many times. Even so, Hu Xiang's face turned pale again because of the weightlessness. After landing for a while, he dared not open your eyes.
It wasn't until the guard at the palace gate ran over to salute that Hu Xiang opened his eyes, looked at the guard kneeling on the ground, said "get up" lightly, and said to Fang Chaozhou next to him: "Uncle Nine Emperors, let's enter the palace. "
The sedan chair had been traveling for about a stick of incense before it stopped. As soon as it stopped, someone stepped forward to help Fang Chaozhou open the sedan chair curtain, "Ninth Prince, you have arrived."
"Thank you."
Fang Chaozhou thanked him, got out of the sedan chair, and saw two white jade steps with nine floors and three sections. In the middle of the white jade steps was a huge white stone with a five-clawed white dragon in relief, and the left and right handrails were engraved Dragon pattern.
Hu Xiang walked to Fang Chaozhou's side, and said softly, "Uncle Nine Emperors, this is Grandpa Emperor's bedroom, let's go in."
He led Fang Chaozhou all the way forward, and the palace guards outside the palace gate opened the palace gate when they saw them, and knelt quietly on both sides.
The hall was quiet, and when Fang Chaozhou walked inside, he heard coughing.
The person who coughed seemed to be suffering, and the sound of coughing was weak, as if he was going to faint at any time.
As soon as he heard the sound of coughing, Hu Xiang, who was walking beside Fang Chaozhou, immediately quickened his pace, "Is the emperor coughing again? Are those imperial doctors not doing anything? Let the emperor cough like this!"
He rushed to the bed, greeted the person on the bed for a while, and then mentioned Fang Chaozhou, "Grandpa Huang, Uncle Nine Emperors is back."
The person on the bed coughed suddenly, with a weak voice, "Really? My Chaozhou is back? Chaozhou, Chaozhou, are you there?"
Following the sound, a hand stretched out from the bed, and that hand was obviously an old man's hand, covered with wrinkles and dark brown age spots.
Seeing this, Hu Xiang immediately turned to look at Fang Chaozhou, "Uncle Nine Emperors."
Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment before walking over and holding the hand, "I'm here, father... the emperor."
The old man lying on the bed was wearing bright yellow pajamas, his hair was almost white, but his face looked like a man in his early forties, but the skin on other parts clearly revealed that he was an old man.
When he saw Fang Chaozhou holding his hand, his tired eyes instantly became much brighter, filled with surprise, "It's really my Chaozhou. You and I were carved out of the same mold when I was young."
Seeing Fang Chaozhou holding the old man's hand, Hu Xiang stepped aside and said, "Grandpa Huang, Hu Xiang is going to see Grandpa Huang's medicine."
The old man didn't seem to hear Hu Xiang's words, and his eyes were only on Fang Chaozhou.
Hu Xiang lowered her eyes and exited the palace.
Without Hu Xiang, the old man spoke again.
"Chao Zhou, have you worked hard all the way back? Are you tired? I see that you are too thin." As he spoke, tears welled up in the old man's eyes, and he struggled to touch the skin with the other hand. Fang Chaozhou's face, but he didn't have much strength, and he didn't raise his hand for a long time.
Fang Chaozhou took a look at the hand, and took the initiative to grab the wrinkled hand and put it on his face, "It's not hard, I'm a monk, and I'll be in the capital in no time. The journey is easy. Father The emperor's blessing, I have seen a lot of scenery along the way, and I usually can't see it when I stay in the mountains."
"Really? It's fine if you don't work hard." The old man laughed, but just as he laughed, he suddenly coughed. Seeing this, Fang Chaozhou quickly helped the old man sit up. Seeing that the pillow the other party was sleeping on was actually a jade pillow, he frowned, moved the jade pillow away, and dug out a soft gold silk pillow from his storage ring to lay it on. behind the old man's waist.
Seeing Fang Chaozhou's movements, the old man couldn't stop coughing, but there was a smile in his eyes. After a while, when he stopped coughing, he said weakly: "You were only so big when you left, you are bigger than me. The calf is a little higher. At that time, the immortal came to choose an apprentice, and when you were selected, you cried like hell, hugged my leg, and said that you didn’t want to leave. In the blink of an eye, more than thirty years have passed. I am really old. Ah, and Chaozhou, you have grown up."
He babbled a lot. Fang Chaozhou listened and nodded from time to time. When the old man fell asleep from exhaustion, he couldn't help but feel the pulse of the other party with spiritual energy.
It is indeed the pulse of dying.
Fang Chaozhou paused for a moment, then took his hand back and covered the old man with a quilt.
Today's mortals mostly live to be sixty or seventy years old. He was originally an old man. His father is now in his eighties, and he is in his nineties. No matter how you say it, he has lived a long life, but the face of the other party is too young. It doesn't match up with other places.
Fang Chaozhou sat by the bed for a while, and got up and went out when he saw that the old man didn't cough in his sleep. As soon as he went out, he saw Hu Xiang just now.
When Hu Xiang saw Fang Chaozhou coming out, she smiled softly, "Uncle Nine Emperors, is Grandpa Emperor asleep?"
"Um."
"Grandpa Huang always feels sleepy at this hour, so Hu Xiang specially asked the people in the Imperial Hospital to decoct the medicine later." He paused, "By the way, the Prince's Residence was where Uncle Nine Emperors left the palace, and it is now closed , no one has lived in it for many years, as for the other palaces, they are all lived by female relatives, so Hu Xiang dared to invite Uncle Nine Emperors to live in my shabby room for a while."
Hu Xiang's residence is outside the palace, but not far from the palace. There are soldiers guarding outside the mansion, but the word "Ye Mansion" on the plaque above the mansion made Fang Chaozhou stunned for a moment.
After entering the mansion, Fang Chaozhou was led to the main courtyard, and Hu Xiang said beside him: "Hu Xiang's residence is not big, only this main courtyard can be seen, I hope Uncle Nine Emperors don't dislike it."
Fang Chaozhou even lived in Xue Danrong's cave with four walls, and now he feels that everything is good, so he nodded happily, "I don't mind, I can do it."
Seeing this, Hu Xiang wanted to say something more, but before he opened his mouth, he turned his head, covered his lips with a handkerchief and coughed lightly, as weak as Xizi holding his heart.
The attendant at the side immediately said: "Master, you are not in good health. In order to take care of the Ninth Prince's return to the capital, you have not taken medicine for a day. During these days, master, you are still serving the imperial court day and night. If you continue to work like this, you will fall ill."
"I'm... fine, cough." Hu Xiang said weakly, "It's just that my throat feels a little uncomfortable. Uncle Nine Emperors just came back, so I can't be rude."
"It's okay, go back and rest quickly." Seeing that Hu Xiang was like this, Fang Chaozhou didn't have the nerve to ask someone to stand in front of him again, he was a little afraid that the other party would cough and cough up all the blood.
Anyway, I finally persuaded Hu Xiang to go back to rest, but he still left a bunch of people to serve Fang Chaozhou, but Fang Chaozhou was used to being free and undisciplined, and he was not used to such people serving him, but those people were unwilling to leave. They knelt down, and finally Fang Chaozhou had no choice but to keep those people.
late at night.
The room was very hot by the earth dragon, the person kneeling on the ground had only entered the room for a short while, and his neck was covered with sweat, but the young man sitting on the couch was still clean, even he was extremely afraid of the cold. He wrapped himself tightly in the fox fur.
"Uncle Nine Emperors, what is he doing now?" He asked softly.
The kneeling person quickly replied, "Master, Ninth Prince is doing massage."
The young man was stunned, "Massage?"
"Yes, the Ninth Prince wanted to drive out all those servants before, but for some reason, they all stayed. Now the servants are scrambling to massage the Ninth Prince, because the Ninth Prince said that there will be rewards for good massage." The man paused, and his tone became envious, "The rewards are all elixir."
"Elixir? It's really a good thing." The young man said softly, "Do you also want to serve Nine Emperor Uncle?"
Hearing that, the man immediately kowtowed, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
He kowtowed more than a dozen times in a row, his head was broken, and he didn't dare to stop.
The young man pulled the corner of his lower lip, and said in a soft voice, "Okay, I know you are loyal, but you are a monk, let alone you want to serve me, even me, if you serve well, you can get the elixir .”
As he spoke, he picked up the scissors on the small table next to him, and cut off the fox fur on his body.
next morning.
Fang Chaozhou got up as usual, but he froze instantly when he saw the dark people in the room as soon as he opened the curtain. When those people saw Fang Chaozhou waking up, they approached Fang Chaozhou with smiles on their faces, and said that they would wait for him to get up.
Last night, Fang Chaozhou was massaged for nearly an hour, and it was the first time he understood the pain of a cat. Although the massage was comfortable, but after so long, there were still people scrambling to massage him, which really made him panic. Now seeing a group of people gathered around, he Immediately shrank back, raised his hand, and blocked those people.
"Don't, I'll do it myself! Back off!"
He forcibly drove those people out of the room, and after washing up, he jumped out of the window. Even when he got out of the yard, he jumped out of the wall.
Not long after leaving the main courtyard, Fang Chaozhou ran into a servant in the mansion. When the servant saw Fang Chaozhou, he immediately knelt down to pack his luggage. Fang Chaozhou stopped him first, "Do you know where my eldest nephew lives?"
He couldn't take it anymore, he had to tell his eldest nephew that he really didn't need so many waiters.
Hearing this, the servant hurriedly said: "Is the Ninth Prince going to find the master? The slave will lead the Ninth Prince there."
Hu Xiang's residence is a little far away from Fang Chaozhou, and it took him a cup of tea to get there. The servants led him into the yard, and the servants in the yard were a little panicked when they saw Fang Chaozhou, and knelt down. Fang Chaozhou stopped him Can't help, he can only quickly wake them up, and then ask.
"Is the eldest nephew still sleeping?"
One of the servants said: "The master is already awake, but this time is the time for the master to drink the medicine."
"Oh, then I'll wait for him."
As soon as Fang Chaozhou finished speaking, the door opened from the inside, and a beautiful maid walked out from the inside. The servant girl blessed Fang Chaozhou's body, "Ninth Prince, our master invites you in."
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment, didn't think too much, and went directly into the house. As soon as he entered the room, he smelled a strong smell of medicine, and then he found that the room was extremely hot.
When he walked inside, he saw Hu Xiang who was sick and crookedly sitting on the beauty's couch.
Hu Xiang was so weak that even though his legs were covered with a brocade quilt, his face was still pale, and a part of his wrist was exposed in his right hand because he was holding a medicine bowl. That wrist is not much thicker than a woman's wrist.
As if he didn't hear the footsteps, he frowned and took a sip of the medicine in the bowl.
It seemed that the medicine was too bitter, Hu Xiang took a sip, and couldn't help sticking out her tongue. After a while, he picked up the medicine bowl again and took a sip.
Fang Chaozhou, who witnessed all this, thought for a while, found a chair and sat down, then watched Hu Xiang drink the medicine.
At this time, Hu Xiang finally noticed Fang Chaozhou, and a shy smile appeared on his face, "It's really Hu Xiang's fault for Uncle Nine Emperors to see Hu Xiang like this."
"It's okay." Fang Chaozhou said.
But Hu Xiang put down the medicine bowl, "Uncle Nine Emperors came to me early in the morning, is there something to do? Is it because Hu Xiang is not serving you well?" He lowered his eyes, his brows were full of gloom.
Fang Chaozhou shook his head, "No, it's not that you didn't take good care of me, it's that you took good care of me too much. I used to practice on the mountain and was used to living alone, but now more than a dozen people take care of me, and I'm not used to it. So, nephew , can you let those people leave? Of course, they are serving you very well."
When Hu Xiang heard the words, she was silent for a moment before slightly nodding her head, "Since it was what Uncle Nine Emperors meant, Hu Xiang naturally listened. When Uncle Nine Emperors came, he must have wanted to ask when he will enter the palace today? Today is the imperial holiday, Civil and military officials will not go to court, and Grandpa Huang will take a medicinal bath today, so he will be free in the afternoon."
"Then let's go in the afternoon." Fang Chaozhou stood up after finishing speaking. His two purposes for coming here have been resolved, so it's time to leave, "I haven't gone down the mountain for a long time, and I have nothing to do this morning, so I just went to the market Take a stroll, I can do it alone, there is no need to send someone to follow."
After finishing speaking, he left, walking very fast, for fear of being followed up, and he was relieved until he was a few streets away from Ye Mansion.
Fang Chaozhou asked someone about the busiest bazaar in the capital, and set off to go shopping, but he didn't expect that almost all the shops in the bazaar were closed.
The shops in the comprehension world don't close at twelve o'clock.
He lost interest in an instant, and was about to walk casually. After walking for a while, he accidentally saw an open shop. Seeing that the shop was open, Fang Chaozhou walked in, but just as he walked in, he was ready to come out.
It turned out to be a rouge shop.
"This guest officer, wait!"
Before he could go out, someone called him first.
It was a woman with a seductive face who called Fang Chaozhou. Seeing Fang Chaozhou, the woman turned her head and shook the fan in her hand, "The guest officials are here, why don't you take a look? This rouge can be used not only by women, but also by men." use."
As she spoke, she dipped some rouge on the pavement with her little finger, and wiped it gently on her forehead.
Fang Chaozhou froze for a moment when he saw the woman's movements, and the next moment, someone came out from the back hall, "Young master, the account book is clear."
The person who spoke did not expect that there were other people. After saying that, he looked at Fang Chaozhou warily.
Little Lord
Fang Chaozhou moved his feet back, this name is a little familiar, isn't this what the people from Fengyuean called that perverted Song Lianyi
He looked at the woman who was still smiling at Yanyan.
It shouldn't be so unlucky, right? Come to the capital and meet that pervert
But it's better to go first!
Fang Chaozhou turned around and wanted to run, but he found that the shop had already been enchanted.
The person behind him let out a chuckle, "I didn't expect you to recognize me so quickly, you've become smarter this time."
The voice was getting closer and closer to him, and by the time of the last word, it was already beside his ear.
A hand that seemed white, tender and boneless rested on Fang Chaozhou's shoulder.
"Fang Chaozhou, last time my candle didn't finish dripping yet."
There seemed to be a trace of nostalgia in the tone.
