When Jin Yuanbao saw that Xia Chuyi was still joking, a row of black lines suddenly flashed across his forehead.
Although he had to admit that there was some truth in what she said. The more he looked at the man next to him, the less he felt like a mortal. The more he looked at him, the more unreal he felt. He looked more like an immortal from some paradise.
"Hey, Yuanbao, do you have some sense of being a man? Does staring at a man for so long mean you have found true love?" Xia Chuyi smiled and waved his hand in front of Jin Yuanbao's eyes, with a look on his face.
Joking cheekily.
Jin Yuanbao was immediately angered by Xia Chu's words. His face turned red and he stared at her angrily with a pair of big bright eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Xia Chuyi raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "You have even brought out monsters, why can't I say that you fall in love with that monster?"
Takiyue, who had been eating quietly beside him, heard Xia Chuyi's words, his eyes flashed with concern, the corners of his lips raised slightly, and he said lightly: "Little one, you have a love rival."
"Yuanbao is my younger brother. How can I steal the person he likes? I'm relieved that you followed him." As he said this, he reached out and patted Takiyue on the shoulder, but he missed it. As soon as his hand was gone, the man had already left.
tableside.
Xia Chuyi didn't care. His expression with narrowed eyes and a smile was like a victorious fox.
When Jin Yuanbao heard these words from the two men, he felt that he was extremely innocent.
"In the first year of junior high school, I am not talking nonsense. Others said that I may not believe it, but my own people also sent news that there are indeed monsters in the south causing trouble. That person even saw a hundred ghosts walking at night with his own eyes!
"
When he first heard the news, he didn't believe it even more than Xia Chuyi did. However, in an area as big as Cangzhou and Liuzhou, it was impossible for everyone to say otherwise.
He had listened to several spies' stories, and they all said almost the same thing. The possibility of deceiving him was almost zero.
Xia Chuyi seemed to be interested now. She pushed the empty bowl in front of her away a little. She laid her hands on the table, looked up at Jin Yuanbao and said, "Hundred Ghosts Night Parade sounds interesting.
Could it be that some local cults held gatherings and paraded through the streets, and then when the people saw them dressed in strange clothes, they thought it was nothing more than ghosts."
This happened in her previous era. In a remote mountain village, there was a sect that worshiped buffaloes. On every first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, they would wander around nearby towns with the skeletons of buffaloes and hold carnival parties. So there
The people almost stayed out of their homes at night, thinking it was a monster causing trouble.
Then a bold local magistrate took his men to "catch ghosts" and eventually arrested the rebellious villagers, breaking the long-standing local superstition.
But after thinking about it, I felt something was wrong. The reason why the villagers with the buffalo skulls were able to successfully cause trouble was because the terrain was remote and the residents were conservative, so they were easily deceived.
As for Liuzhou and Cangzhou, they can almost be regarded as first-tier cities. There are so many capable people and strangers. How can they be fooled by a little trick?
"A Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night, are they really ghosts? Did your men see a group of people in white clothes, with black hair covering their faces, and no shadows of hands or feet?"
Xia Chuyi gave a general description, thinking that although the times and backgrounds were different, the ghosts should all look the same.
Jin Yuanbao listened to her words carefully, then touched his head and smiled sheepishly: "Haha, first grade of junior high school, sometimes I really feel that I am a little stupid, because I can't understand what you said at all.
ah."
When Xia Chuyi heard this, he was stunned for a moment, thinking that Jin Yuanbao was self-aware. He expressed it so clearly and he still couldn't understand it. That was really a problem with his IQ.
"Well, just tell me what the ghost your men saw looked like."
This gold ingot was well prepared. He took out a stack of paper from his arms and opened it in front of Xia Chuyi: "These are 'ghost pictures' sent from various places. I took a closer look and found that they are basically the same."
.”
As soon as Xia Chu looked up, he saw a person wearing a black cloak drawn on the paper. To be precise, it was not a person, but a gloomy white skeleton.
The black cloak completely covered it, revealing only the skull with three holes and two rows of teeth, and the two white foot bones that supported the entire body.
She looked at the black and white painting style, but saw two flashes of red light in the two dark eyes, as if they were looking at her through the drawing paper.
I couldn't help but shudder. Xia Chuyi read the "ghost pictures" one by one. He saw that some of them were single, some were drawn as a whole, some were frontal, some were sideways, and some were detailed.
It's not like a living person is pretending to be a ghost.
"Oh my god, if it's really a ghost, then the Wei family is really going to be doomed!" Xia Chu immediately exclaimed.
Regardless of whether these "ghosts" are aggressive or not, their mere existence is enough to make people panic.
Didn't Jin Yuanbao say that at the beginning? Those people thought that the Wei family had offended God, so they had already killed many Wei family members.
Xia Chuyi handed the paintings to Takiyue behind him: "Do you want to take a look?"
Takiyue leaned on the soft couch, closed his eyes and rubbed his eyebrows: "It's better not to show that kind of thing to me, it will dirty your eyes."
This monster!
Xia Chuyi wanted to despise him, but she thought that he had restrained himself a lot now. At the beginning, his feet were not dusty, and there was a large group of people behind him who rolled out the red carpet for him.
In fact, Xia Chuyi also discovered that when Takiyue walks on weekdays, his steps will hang about half an inch in the air without touching the dirt and dust on the ground at all. Because half an inch is not very obvious, it can be seen without deliberately looking at it.
Not coming out.
Xia Chuyi discovered by chance that one day she picked up his shoes and saw that the soles were as white as new, cleaner than the uppers of her shoes. She then started to observe Takiyue walking, and she came to this surprising conclusion.
The results come.
In fact, what she just said to Jin Yuanbao was not a joke. Sometimes she really felt that Taki Yue was like a goblin.
After putting all her efforts into it, she did not force Long Yue, and saved the most terrifying one of the ghost pictures, and gave the rest to Jin Yuanbao.
Jin Yuanbao's eyelids twitched when he saw this: "Why do you keep this picture?"
"Oh, stick it on the wall to ward off evil spirits. If little ghosts come and see that there are already evil ghosts living there, they won't run in."
Xia Chu folded the paper in half as he spoke and put it in his arms.
I was thinking whether I should stick it outside the door or in the inner room. How about sticking it under the cover of the couch. I would be able to see it when I open my eyes in the morning, and I would be sure to wake up very easily!
And, hehe, isn't Takiyue afraid of getting his eyes dirty? Sticking it there will disgust him every day!
Jin Yuanbao was all worried and said: "What if that kid happens to like the excitement, and when he sees someone of his own kind here, he will come over immediately with joy."
"Gold-yuan-bao! You'll die if you don't fight me!"
Finally, Xia Chuyi was angry for a while, then she stuffed a candy in her mouth, feeling the sweet and sour taste melting in her mouth, and then she said, "Have the dean and master made a statement? What are they going to do?"
Jin Yuanbao sometimes really admires Xia Chuyi, such as now.
Because he had to talk to her in a roundabout way when he told her things that only needed a few sentences for others. It had been a long time since breakfast had been finished, and he was only halfway through what he wanted to say.
This woman's skill at pretending to be stupid and leading others by the nose is truly amazing!
He reached out and touched his nose and said: "What the dean and the four great mentors want is to put all the young masters and ladies from each family back and take charge of their own families to prevent the situation like the Wei family from happening. And Cang Cang
, something happened in Liuliangzhou, and the Emperor's Master Academy naturally couldn't ignore it. It was said that we asked a few of our outer disciples to take the white-clothed guards on a trip, and it was a training experience at that time."
"Oh, why does it feel like Master Dean's actions are a bit intentional?" Xia Chuyi murmured a few words, thinking that Master Dean hurriedly drove back people from the seven major families and the Xuanyuan Dynasty.
It's like drawing a line with that side and putting aside the relationship.
"Then there's nothing happening on the old witch's side?" She's still a queen after all, and a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Even if the emperor really ordered her to be arrested, she would definitely take action when she heard something happened to her mother clan, right?
Jin Yuanbao looked up at Longyue for the third time, and saw that he seemed not interested in their topic, and couldn't help but sigh.
"This time the rear guard did not move, but the emperor acted vigorously and resolutely. He immediately mobilized troops around Cang and Liu to surround the two places and prohibited people from entering and exiting. Then he immediately sealed the imperial censor, awarded the Kowloon gold medal, and patrolled on behalf of Tian to solve the problem.
problem."
Xia Chuyi stood up and moved his hands and feet. When he heard this, he immediately felt a little funny: "Hey, after all, the emperors are not idiots."
Once the Wei clan is destroyed, he knows better than anyone what will happen to Xuanyuan Chun. This time he is from the army and the censor, so it sounds quite similar.
She twisted her neck and asked casually: "Then who is the censor he sent?"
Jin Yuanbao raised her chin and moved toward the person behind her: "The emperor wants to make the situation more chaotic and stabilize the balance, so the imperial edict should be on its way to Xihua Palace at this time."
Xia Chuyi was frightened by Jin Yuanbao's words. She heard a "click" and her bent neck suddenly twisted.
"Quick, quick...get it back to me quickly!"
This commotion made Takiyoshi open his eyes, and when he saw her appearance, he couldn't help but smile.
He stood up and walked over, stretched out his hand to hold her neck and rubbed it, and then with a strong force, he twisted her crooked neck back.
"It's just an imperial edict, I didn't panic. Why are you panicking?"
"No, the mountains here are high and the Emperor is far away, so how does the Emperor know that you are here? Is he clairvoyant? Then wouldn't he see a lot of things he shouldn't see? Will he get corns? ...No, I
What I mean is, even the emperor knows you are here with me, doesn’t that mean the whole world knows you are here?”
Takiyue said quite innocently: "I thought you knew it all along."
