Chapter 24 Two artistic young people

Wanyanjing read the note horizontally and vertically, but she couldn't agree with those words.

What's the meaning?

What kind of sword should I return?

What red color is the knife?

After pondering for half a cup of tea to no avail, the princess felt angry.

If you have something to say, can you say it clearly? If the sword is red, is it a human being or a ghost?——

That night was a full moon night.

Ergou was wearing the short coat that leaked from the waist, walking on the eaves of the Bamboo Garden, holding a chicken drumstick wrapped in oil paper in his legs, and devouring it.

In his perception, there were two very bright stars in Prince Wuxuan's palace, one in Qin's palace, one in the Imperial Prefect's palace, one in the Zhenguo General's palace, and one in the backyard of the Imperial College.

If you look eastward from the sky, the Imperial Palace, Xuanwu Street, Southeast and Northwest Squares, and the Imperial College in Beijing can be connected in a dragon shape, including countless institutions and algorithms. It was drawn by King Wu Xuan and took five years to build with the efforts of the whole country.

The Exquisite Formation for Protecting the Country.

The reason why the Qin State is so powerful that no one in Beijing dares to attack it is because of the five stars and the Exquisite Formation that protects the country.

No one knows the power of the Exquisite Formation for Protecting the Country and what that behemoth looks like after it is activated.

Maybe it will remain silent forever, but no one will think it is an irrelevant toy.

After all, Daikin once stood tall with its Twelve Star Dragon Bird Formation for hundreds of years. During those hundreds of years, Daikin experienced many rebellions, riots, and military pressures, but in the end they all ended in Daikin's victory.

Not their national defense formation.

There are even rumors in the world that, no matter how fatuous the Golden Emperor is, he can grow old safely with the support of the Twelve-Star Dragon Bird.

The powerful Twelve-Star Dragon Bird was killed by Huo Xiang with a sword. After that, Huo Xiang built another exquisite formation.

The Exquisite Formation can't be worse than the Twelve Star Dragon Bird, right?

Although the Linglong Formation is recognized as being powerful, it is still a mystery as to who controls the formation.

The National Defense Formation of Dajin is jointly controlled by the Emperor of Jin and the Imperial Master of Dajin, but will the Linglong Formation be controlled by Emperor Qin?

Ergou looked at the moon in the sky, at the capital shrouded in moonlight, and quietly thought about those past events.

Suddenly, his musings were soon interrupted. The princess he was ordered to protect seemed a little strange, as if she had a nightmare.

At this time, not long after the drum beat for the third watch had finished, it was the right time.

"It's just a nightmare. Is it possible that he really wants to wake her up?"

Ergou muttered and continued to eat his chicken legs and admire his moon. He was a man of great taste and style.

Finally, he finished eating the chicken legs, folded the oil paper, and inserted it into the gap between the tiles.

After having enough wine and food, he decided not to go wake up the princess. He didn't know if it was some kind of nightmare that had been raging for a long time.

The two dogs lifted up a few tiles and jumped out of Wanyanjing's house from the eaves along the hole, making no sound or ghosts.

"Princess? Princess?"

Wanyan Jing should not respond.

Ergou took a few steps further and stood beside Wanyanjing's bed.

Through the translucent bed curtain, you can vaguely see the half-turned woman inside, struggling with something.

Ergou began to worry about the lack of intimacy between men and women. Could he please wake up the princess's maid and let her come?

But the maids are all unmarried girls. Can he call the maid who is sleeping? What if the maid stays with him and he doesn't marry her?

Ergou is mentally building himself up:

If it’s not the master’s wife, then it’s not his mother. It doesn’t seem to be a big deal for his son to visit Yidong Keke’s sick mother, and it doesn’t violate the etiquette of the Qin State.

Well, that's not it! Ergou opened the bed curtain.

What he saw in front of him made him frown.

Wan Yanjing did not wear the obscene clothes she usually wore when sleeping, but wore a red robe that she could go out in. An iron chain was wrapped around her leg and wrist, and the other end of the iron chain was fastened to the bed frame.

Wanyanjing's eyes were open, her pupils were dilated, and there was a strange golden ring around her pupils. It looked like she was possessed by some ghost, driving her away from the house where she slept to go somewhere.

She struggled harder and harder, and there were blood marks on her legs and wrists, but she was unconscious and had no response no matter how she shouted.

"The princess tied the chain herself? Doesn't that disqualify the ball?"

The two dogs didn't know what to do, so they had to break the chain first.

"Bang Gen" sounded, and the chain broke!

Ergou watched Wan Yanjing slowly stand up after losing her restraints. She put on her shoes with an expressionless expression, opened the door of the room unhurriedly, and walked out.

Ergou raised his legs and closed the door that "Wanyan Jing" had forgotten to close. This was the same situation as last night.

Wearing a red dress and disheveled black hair, she wanders around the palace like a female ghost.

Ergou watched her walk towards the lake, step by step, with the same frequency and the same pace for each step.

Walking to the lake, Wanyanjing paused for a few breaths facing the lake, then turned around and moved in the direction of Lin'an Hall.

That's the same as yesterday.

Ergou looked at the calm Jingyue Lake, thoughtfully.

Wan Yanjing continued walking, passing Huo Xiang's study, schoolyard, stable, martial arts hall, and reception room, and opened the door of Lin'an Hall.

Wan Yanjing kicked off her shoes, stepped on the edge of the bed with one foot, and stepped on Huo Xiang's belly with the other. She used Huo Xiang's belly as a pedal, and stepped into the back of the bed. Donglai finally calmed down next to Huo Xiang, and closed in

eyes.

That was different from last night. Last night Wanyan Jingbo stepped over directly without stepping on Huo Xiang's belly.

Ergou stared at Huo Xiang and Wan Yanjing's bedside for a while, then walked out of Lin'an Hall.

Manager Zhang was walking in the east corridor holding a jar of wine and looking at him with a smile.

Well, it didn’t happen last night.

Seeing that Manager Zhang knew everything about his mistakes and was not surprised, Ergou asked in a muffled voice:

"So what's going on? I don't seem surprised at all."

Manager Zhang shook the wine in his lap, pointed at Tianzai, and said:

"It's such a good month, how can there be no wine? Don't think too much, let's drink some."

The two dogs didn't move.

Manager Zhang sighed and said:

"Young man, in this life, there are many things that I can't figure out. If I can't figure out things, I don't want to waste my brain. That means it's not my job to figure out the things that are good."

"Just like Lao Zhang, he has been the butler of the prince's palace for seven years and earns twenty taels of gold every month. Is he the only one with a high salary in the butler world? He is doing what a butler should do peacefully, and he doesn't know what he shouldn't know.

Explore, don’t meddle in people’s affairs when they shouldn’t be involved, and don’t take any extra step, then you can always be a housekeeper in peace.”

"Come, come, come here, can you please have a good wine brewed by my master? He managed to hide a few jars secretly and couldn't bear to drink it himself. My boy will be blessed tomorrow, hahaha."

Ergou frowned and walked a little awkwardly not far from Manager Zhang.

Manager Zhang opened the wine seal, and the refreshing aroma of Yechang wine overflowed, and the entire corridor was filled with the intoxicating aroma of Yechang peach blossoms.

Ergou moved his nose, glanced at the direction where Huo Xiang was sleeping, lowered his eyebrows and said bitterly, "No, Master's peach blossom wine."

"That's right, hahaha."

"I drank all of Master's peach blossom wine. Will Master not be angry when he wakes up?" Ergou swallowed and stared at the wine jar and said seriously.

"Oh, that's wrong. He doesn't even know if he can wake up. Then he will be really angry if the good wine is wasted."

"No?"

"I believe he is right. He has been with the prince for more than ten years. In terms of understanding, who can be better than him?" Manager Zhang took a big sip from the wrong wine jar, then handed the jar to Ergou, signaling to him

Come too.

Ergou hesitated for a while before taking the jar, and looked at the edge of the jar. He couldn't remember whether Manager Zhang drank from the wrong piece, and he desperately didn't want to drink from the same edge as Manager Zhang.

Master once said that it is called indirect kissing.

Ergou raised the jar and let the wine fall from mid-air. He raised his head, opened his mouth wide, and began to pour. The wine flowed steadily into his throat.

Manager Zhang's eyes widened.

After Bu Nao took a breath or two, Ergou shook the jar, but nothing could be poured out.

He licked his lips, his eyes were clear and not drunk, so he was a little confused: "Then it's gone?"

Manager Zhang got angry. He snatched the jar back and looked inside under the corridor light to see if there was anything there.

"I..." Manager Zhang's face turned red, and he pointed his leg at Ergou, trying to beg him to say something, but his mistake was Ergou's clear and stupid eyes. He didn't say anything at first and cursed in a low voice, "

Damn it!"
