Chapter 44 Longevity Festival is coming

Shen Xiyao dared not say that there was another person's soul in her body.

The world is ignorant.

If it spreads, the consequences will be unpredictable.

Shen Ao walked back and forth in the study room with his hands behind his back. But judging from the speed of walking, Shen Ao was a little uneasy at the moment.

After walking a few times, Shen Ao stopped in front of Shen Xiyao.

"This matter must not be mentioned to anyone. Only you and I know. Those maids around you..."

"don't want!"

Seeing the murderous look in Shen Ao's eyes, Shen Xiyao quickly stopped him.

"Yunxiang grew up with me, and they won't spread the word."

The hand that had been behind Shen Ao's back was clenched, relaxed, clenched again, and relaxed again.

Shen Ao sighed softly.

"Okay. It's up to you to let them go."

Shen Xiyao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, someone has noticed this. You have to think of a perfect solution. Also, you will resign after His Majesty's Longevity Banquet."

Shen Xiyao smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"Grandpa, there are some things you don't know. I don't think His Majesty will agree to my resignation."

"Why!"

Shen Ao sighed heavily and waved his hand for Shen Xiyao to step back.

After a long time, Shen Ao rushed out the door and shouted: "Shen An."

The old housekeeper walked into the study.

"What are your orders, Master?"

"Send trustworthy people to visit famous doctors everywhere except around Luojing City. They must be able to treat people with symptoms such as multiple souls, loss of souls, and separation of souls. Remember, what I want is a doctor."

Shen An's brows moved slightly, and he understood why Shen Ao emphasized that he wanted a doctor. He agreed softly.

Shen Xiyao returned to her boudoir and sat quietly in front of her desk.

He reached out and pulled off the hair ribbon and hairpin, and a waterfall of green silk fell down, covering his delicate profile. He held his folded legs with both hands, rested his chin on his knees, and looked ahead without focus.

Yunxiang came up with a cup of tea, looked at the distracted Shen Xiyao, and asked with concern: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Xiyao looked up at the personal maid in confusion. She came here for a while and then slowly spoke.

"Grandpa noticed my problem."

When Yunxiang heard this, she covered her mouth with both hands and opened her eyes wide. After a long while, she whispered: "Miss, are you talking about Mr. Mu...?"

Shen Xiyao smiled bitterly.

"How dare I say that? I just said that I suffer from polysomnia."

Yunxiang blinked and looked at Shen Xiyao.

"Is this really a disease?"

"When I was in Chang Shi's Mansion, I had nothing to do to read some classics, and I also consulted some imperial doctors. They said that lost souls and multiple souls are common in the world. It's just that relatively speaking, lost souls are more common."

Yunxiang's face was full of doubts, with an expression like "I don't study well, please don't lie to me."

Shen Xiyao was a little helpless and spoke in a longer tone.

"It's true!

Then his tone changed.

"Actually, with Mu Jianming's vision and knowledge, I would be willing to replace me. Unfortunately, he can only appear for an hour and a half at most."

Yunxiang looked at this girl who had always been unsmiling and showed herself to be strong, but now she was so weak that it made people feel heartbroken.

Yun Xiang's eyes were filled with tears, and there was a hint of crying in her voice.

"Miss, don't think like this, otherwise even if I see you, miss, it won't be you, miss."

Shen Xiyao glanced at Yunxiang angrily.

"What are you talking about? What is mine and what is not mine."

He also ordered: "Don't mention this matter to anyone again. Even if my grandfather comes to ask in person, you have to say you don't know."

Sensing the seriousness in Shen Xiyao's tone, Yunxiang nodded and agreed.

The night is already deep.

Shen Xiyao did not go to sleep, but sat in front of the desk and looked through some books written down by Mu Jianming.

There were some incomprehensible symbols in these scrolls, and some obscure things were drawn on them. There were also some books that Shen Xiyao knew every word, but Shen Xiyao couldn't understand them when they were connected.

Finally, the sound of a watchman making his rounds reached my ears.

It's time for the third watch.

Shen Xiyao couldn't wait to put away all the other books and manuals on the desk. She picked up a few pieces of paper full of words that had been prepared.

Close your eyes!

call!

When Mu Jianming opened his eyes again, he lowered his head and looked at the contents on the paper, a wry smile appeared on his face.

In the blink of an eye, the long-awaited longevity finally arrived.

Early in the morning, in Luojing City, the troops guarding the capital, the government officials of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the workers from various municipalities all went on the road. The streets were washed with clean water, the roads were paved with loess, and flags of various colors were planted all over the city.

Then the main streets in the city came under martial law. A row of soldiers and horses stood on each side of the street. There was a space in the middle of the road for the carriages to pass. There were also dedicated guards on the roofs on both sides of the street. The open space on the street was crowded with people who stretched their necks to watch the excitement. common people.

As soon as the Si hour arrived, the bells and drums in the imperial city rang together. The middle gate of the south gate of the imperial city opened wide, and Yang Ke's full guard of honor began to leave the city.

Six people, including Lu Qi from Beijing Zhao Yin, Zhao Yu from Taichang Temple, Zhou Jian from Imperial Censorship, Cheng Kangming from Shangshu Ling, Qiu Huaixin from Taiwei, and Yang Lin, the eldest prince, were on horseback, led by a special person to lead the way.

Twelve strong men behind them, holding big flags, followed the six people out of the imperial city first.

Ten steps behind is a group of cavalry. The cavalry on the outside is holding a long gun, and the cavalry in the middle is holding a bow. An arrow is clasped on the bow string without drawing it. The arrow is rushing down. They are scanning both sides of the street vigilantly. They can raise the bow at any time. shooting.

Then came a team of people holding flags representing various meanings such as good weather, good weather, the five elements, etc., following the cavalry in a mighty manner.

After the flag team are various special fleets such as the guide car and the drum car.

After these teams left the imperial city for a cup of tea, another group of cavalry walked out of the imperial city gate, and at the same time a burst of music came.

Twelve rows of elite Yulin Guards with bright helmets ride on black horses, holding swords and strings in front. Behind them is a huge band holding flutes, flutes, bamboos, cymbals, drums and other musical instruments. There are brilliant ritual music, Make people feel awe.

The honor guard team holding various flags, banners, flags, pumpkins, axes, snake spears, and euphorbias came in front. Yang Ke's Luan Jia finally appeared in the eyes of everyone. Shen Ao and Jiang Fuqiu were closely guarding the Luan Jia with their helmets and armors. On the left and right, other accompanying officials followed on both sides.

The elite members of the Yulin Army surrounded the outermost layer to protect the emperor and ministers inside.

Seeing the emperor's chariot appear in front of them, the people watching on both sides of the street began to salute one after another and shouted long live the mountain.

Hearing the shouts of the people, Yang Ke stopped sitting in the Luan Jia, walked out of the Luan Jia, held the armrest of the Luan Jia with one hand, and enjoyed everything with a smile.

Behind the Luan Jia is another group of drummers. Behind the drummers are neatly dressed infantry as the rear guard, guarding the rear of the entire ceremonial guard.

Yang Ke's full set of ceremonial guards went all the way south and went straight to the Mingtang. Yang Ke also wanted to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings here.

There is a small building in the Hong Hotel that is more than three feet high. On the roof of the building, Hu Shichang, Xu Liangqiu, Wu Lijin, Li Kuang, and Wang Weiren are all lined up on the ridge.

The small building is indeed a bit high. Wu Lijin and Wang Weiren looked very pale. They were sitting astride the ridge of the roof. Even so, their calves were trembling a little.

The location of this small building is quite good. From the top of the building, you can easily see Yang Ke's car passing through the nearby streets. The huge honor guard and the cheering people around you can all be seen.

It might have been better if there wasn't a group of Imperial Guards on the ground in the distance pointing their bows and arrows at them.

"Guys, if we have nothing to do, let's go down first. If you really want to see it, how about Brother Wang and I go down first."

The pale-faced Wu Lijin really couldn't bear to stay at such a high place, and even spoke with a trembling voice.

Wang Weiren closed his eyes and gritted his teeth without saying a word, trying to hold on.

The other three people lowered their heads and looked at these two people, but they all ignored Wu Lijin's suggestion.

Hu Shichang curled his lips with some disdain.

"This Emperor Wei's pomp is a little too grand. He hasn't unified the world yet!"

Li Kuang was still a little worried about what happened when Shen Xiyao came to visit a few days ago. When he saw Hu Shichang taking the initiative to speak, he glanced at him sideways, hugged his shoulders and made sarcastic remarks.

"If Wei had unified the world, you wouldn't be standing here anymore."

"What Brother Li said is wrong. Even if the Wei Kingdom conquers the world, he still has to rely on us to govern. Otherwise, he will just rely on these muddy legs, huh..."

Li Kuang sneered.

"Relying on you? If I relied on you, I wouldn't have been kicked out more than ten years ago. Besides, it's just these muddy legs that kept you from getting up for two days."

"you……"

Hu Shichang was speechless by Li Kuang, and his face turned red and white.

"You two, you two, now is not the time to start a dispute."

Seeing that Hu Shichang looked a little worried, Xu Liangqiu quickly talked to Xi Ni and persuaded the two of them to stop talking.

"Besides, Brother Li and you are also being kicked out."

"snort!"

Li Kuang snorted coldly and stopped talking.

"I'm begging everyone, why don't you let me go down first?"

Wu Lijin almost cried.

Hu Shichang walked up to Wu Lijin, knelt down and patted his shoulder, speaking gently.

"Brother Wu, you are afraid of standing on high places. This is a disease and needs to be cured. Otherwise, if we go to a higher place to play next time, do you want to take you with us or not? Take you, you go up. If you don't go; if I don't take you, you will blame me again. Why don't you take this opportunity today and I will treat you. Come, I will help you and you try to stand up."

"I don't. You let me go down first."

"Even if you want to go down, don't you have to stand up? Come on, let me help you up."

Hu Shichang comforted him with gentle words.

Wu Lijin thought about it and thought it made sense. He grabbed Hu Shichang's hand and stood up slowly.

"Oh! By the way, it's better to stand up."

As he spoke, he raised his leg and kicked Wu Lijin off the roof.

"ah……"

Wu Lijin screamed and fell down.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hu Shichang looked up to the sky and laughed.

Fortunately, there were guards standing around the small building, holding up the quilts to prevent any accidents from happening to the noble gentlemen. They came in handy now.

Several other people looked at Hu Shichang sideways and frowned. Wang Weiren tried his best to move to the side, away from Hu Shichang.
