Chapter 408 Three Great Sorcerers
"Huanglongshi"
Xu Fengnian paced the court with this name in his mouth, turned his head to look at Zhou Ji who was sitting at the table drinking tea calmly, frowned and said: "This person is the most proud student of Shangyin Academy, he is amazingly talented, the most kind Yin and Yang prophecies have always been considered exhaustive strategies, and I have known them for hundreds of years, why did I criticize such prophecies this time?"
"Why else, I want to hurt you~" Zhou Ji picked up the teapot and poured a cup, sniffed the fragrance of the tea and nodded slightly, "That girl has entered the Zhixuan realm, not much worse than the old Huang who opened the sword box at the beginning , and her body is agile and quick, if she really wanted to kill you, I'm afraid you would have died long ago."
"Yes, yes, thanks to Master Zhou, Mr. Zhou, who rescued you. I am so grateful that I can't repay you. When I return to Beiliang, I will build a temple for you, get a longevity card, and offer three sticks of incense every morning and evening, okay? "
Xu Fengnian can be said to have no itch for lice, no worries about debts, and shamelessly sat across from Zhou Ji, opened the teacup and poured himself a cup, sipped the tea and said, "But I still don't understand why she wanted to kill me. When I was in Lingzhou City, I met her a few times, and I didn't even know her name, so it couldn't be because I gave her a nickname that she wanted to 'repay' me like this?"
"How do I know?" Zhou Ji shrugged, indifferently said: "When she comes to you someday, you can ask her yourself."
"What about her?" Xu Fengnian looked around and asked curiously.
"I'm going to find Huang Longshi." Zhou Ji raised a smile on his lips, and said inexplicably, "Anyway, she can't beat me, so I asked her to go back and ask Huang Longshi to let the rumored 'Huang Sanjia' Count my fate."
Seeing Zhou Ji's dismissive sneer, Xu Fengnian felt a little calm.
After all, the other party is Huanglongshi who is famous for Yin and Yang prophecies. No matter how much Xu Fengnian doubts the prophecy that he will face a tragic death, he still cares a little bit after all.
The two chatted for a while, but Jiang Ni was not seen for a long time.
Yu Youwei usually likes to stay in her room behind closed doors whenever she goes to a place, but this little Jiang Ni is the kind who can't calm down. I asked Xu Fengnian to know that she called Yu Youwei to come out of the house at this moment. Went wandering around town.
Now the evening is setting and the sky is getting late.
Xu Fengnian looked up at the sunset glow in the sky, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's almost time for them to come back."
Outside Lu's house, just as he said, two figures huddled together and walked faster and faster walked towards this side.
The setting sun in early summer lingered with the residual heat of the afternoon, but Yuyouwei and Jiang Ni were walking down the street without realizing it, as if something terrible would happen after dark.
I really don’t know what my princess is thinking, other people go shopping in the jewelry store of Zhifenbuzhuang, and she dragged herself to visit the coffin shops in Yangcheng.
Before this, Yu Youwei once heard Jiang Ni say that studying was to make money for her own funeral. She only thought it was Jiang Ni's casual joke.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be true.
Jiang Ni actually went to the coffin shop one by one to inquire about the price of the coffin, and even wanted to bargain?
Seeing that the gate of Lu’s house was approaching, Jiang Ni stopped and tried to take out her veil from her sleeves and put it on, but after searching both sleeves, she still couldn’t find her veil.
I still wore it before leaving the house.
Could it be that he fell on the road?
Jiang Ni looked back at the street that was mostly covered by the shadow of the high wall, and then at the setting sun that was about to set. She turned around and was about to look for it, but Yu Youwei stretched out her hand to hold her back.
"Isn't the Lu family here? Where are you going?" Yu Youwei glanced behind her head, wondering, "Did you leave the money bag?"
Jiang Ni subconsciously touched the purse at her waist, and said with a sigh of relief, "I lost my veil, and I want to go back and find it."
"It's getting dark, and people don't know the place here, where can I find it?" Yu Youwei said helplessly, "It's just a veil, it's okay if you don't wear it."
Jiang Ni hesitated and said: "But Xu Fengnian said that the Lu family had a deep hatred with Chu State back then, and our identities are sensitive. If people know our identities, the Lu family will definitely not tolerate us."
Yu Youwei nodded, looked Jiang Ni's face up and down, took out her veil and handed it over, "The princess and the queen do look alike, why don't you wear mine?"
Jiang Ni shook her head and said: "Why don't you go back to the house and help me find a veil to send out, and I will wait for you outside the door."
"Wouldn't that be more obvious?" Yu Youwei persuaded helplessly for a while before Jiang Ni was willing to take the veil, and the two hurried back to their own yard, almost bumping into Wang Momo who came out of Xu Zhihu's courtyard.
Nurse Wang glanced over Jiang Ni, and her eyes fell on Yu Youwei. She didn't wake up until the two passed by, as if she had realized something, and hurriedly reported to the housekeeper.
The fat housekeeper brought her to Lu Baijie. Lu Baijie held the ancient sword Baxiu horizontally, and he was still thinking about seeing Tianlei and Daogang just now in his mind.
"Seventh Lord."
Lu Baijie put down the scabbard, looked at her and said, "Did you find that there are people from Western Chu in Xu Fengnian's motorcade?"
Nurse Wang answered 'yes' with lowered eyebrows, and said respectfully, "Just now I sent monthly money to Xu Zhihu."
"Young Mistress." Lu Baijie frowned.
Mother Wang said in fear and trepidation: "That's right. Young Mistress, I was sending monthly money to Young Mistress, and ran into two women brought by Xu Fengnian. The two of them had covered their faces with veils since they entered the mansion. I always felt that they looked familiar. "
"Do you think they are from Western Chu?" Lu Baijie raised his eyes slightly, saw Wang Momo nodding in recognition, and asked hesitantly, "Have you seen Western Chu people?"
"Yes." Wang Momo straightened up slightly and recalled, "My uncle went to Xichu as a guest, and I had the honor to accompany him all the way to serve. The royal family of Xichu once hosted a banquet in honor of him. At the banquet, there were sword attendants from Xichu offering sword dances. A woman looks and looks very similar to that Xichu Sword Attendant."
"Based on her appearance, you think she is from Western Chu?" Lu Baijie confirmed.
"At that time, I was watching the dance in the corridor, and there was a little girl from the state of Chu among the servants, who was also looking at the hall." Nanny Wang said firmly, "I remember clearly that the little girl was holding a little girl. White cat. Now, the woman next to Xu Fengnian is also holding a white cat, and she looks very similar. I always think it's too coincidental."
"That's not right, Western Chu is the country where Xu Xiao died, so how can Xu Fengnian have descendants of the sword servants of Western Chu?" Lu Baijie was dubious and frowned, "What's more, Xu Xiao clearly knows that our Lu family and Western Chu are inseparable." , How could he bring such a person to Jiangnan?"
On the other side, knowing that Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei were wandering around the city without their veils on, Xu Fengnian had a bad premonition.
Hastily asked Qingniao to prepare the carriage, and sent Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei out of Lu's house to find another place to live. Even Zhou Ji felt that this was a bit of a fuss.
Tsk~ People who play tricks are dirty.
"But wouldn't it be more suspicious if you pick people up directly like this?" Zhou Ji shook his head, his consciousness spread, and he sensed a group of people walking quickly towards Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei's room, smiling Fei smiled and said, "What's more, the nanny Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei just ran into has already brought Lu Baijie to the guest room to find them."
"Then what should we do? When the Lu family's son-in-law was captured in the national war and died at the hands of the Chu royal family, Lu Baijie must have been to the Chu king's capital. Given the similarity between Jiang Ni and the queen's appearance, he will definitely be recognized!" The young fish Wei was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"It's very simple." Zhou Ji reached out his hand and took out a small, tightly sealed wooden box from his sleeve, and solemnly placed it on the table with the flower pot, and said proudly, "It's fine if he can't recognize it." ?”
The wooden box is opened, and a rectangular mirror is propped up. Layers of square boxes are extended left and right, and there are even a few small drawers that can be stretched out.
A dazzling array of beautiful things, fragrant.
Looking at the colorful colors that complement each other with the mirror surface, Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei seem to have light in their eyes.
"You mean disguise?" Xu Fengnian's eyes lit up, but his expression became a little weird.
Why does this thing look so much like something for women?
"Well, makeup as one of the three major sorcerers, in a sense, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's not an exaggeration." Zhou Ji swept across the guest room with his spiritual sense, and motioned for the two to sit down on the stone bench. I chose to do it myself, but looked at the flowerpot next to the makeup box and said, "After all, men and women are different, so I trouble you to help them."
Since the years of becoming a rattan, Sato has been completely insulated from her beloved cosmetic case.
Now he finally waited for the opportunity to open the makeup box again. Even if he wasn't putting on makeup for himself, Si Teng was still very excited, and hundreds of vines burst out in an instant.
Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei were stunned for a moment, watching countless clues proficiently picking up powder puff eyebrow pencil and various tools in front of them, baring their teeth and claws, spreading out.
Zhou Ji and Xu Fengnian retreated again and again, retreating from beside the stone table to under the gazebo. They could only see the vines dancing up and down, but could not see what was going on inside.
As the footsteps on the other side of the corridor got closer and closer, the vines suddenly gathered, and Zhou Ji swept away the tabletop with a flick of his sleeve.
"They are indeed here." Wang Momo looked at the figures of the two people in the distance, lowered her eyebrows and said, "Qi Ye, why don't I find a few old people who accompanied me to come and recognize them?"
"No need." Lu Baijie shook his head and walked towards the gazebo.
Nurse Wang followed behind him, walking slower and slower, and the confidence in her eyes gradually changed to doubt and bewilderment.
Why doesn't it feel the same again?
Walking closer, the courtyard was illuminated brightly by the lit lanterns along the way.
Nurse Wang looked Yu Youwei up and down, and compared her memories of being in the Chu Palace, a trace of hesitation appeared on her face.
"Mr. Lu, who is this?" Xu Fengnian stretched out his hand to press his chin back, put away the shock and astonishment on his face, and looked at the nanny and housekeeper behind Lu Baijie in doubt.
Lu Baijie withdrew his gaze from looking at Jiang Ni's face, and said in a gentle tone: "After all, the son is a distinguished guest of the Lu family, and it would be too negligent to live in the guest room. Lu specifically asked his servants to make room for the son. Mr. Zhou, senior Li Any accompanying female relatives can move there."
"Why do you need to bother Mr. Lu for such a trivial matter?"
Xu Fengnian smiled and exchanged greetings with Lu Baijie, declined his kindness, and looked at the back of Lu Baijie and his party leaving, heaving a long sigh of relief.
Not only him, but Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei seemed to be in shock.
Jiang Ni and Si Teng got along pretty well. Since being comforted by Si Teng, she often helped Si Teng collect dew, while Yu Youwei was stunned, and she couldn't recover until Lu Baijie and the others left.
"Are you sure that girl who looks stupid and slow to react is a descendant of Sword Attendant Xichu?"
Lu Baijie walked into the study, suddenly stopped, and said in a deep voice.
"This..." Wang Momo showed hesitation, tilted her head, and said blankly, "Before it was dark, the first time I saw her without a veil, she was indeed very similar to that Xichu Sword Attendant back then. But just now You see, it doesn't look like that anymore."
"As for temperament and reaction" Wang Momo thought hard, raised her head and said, "Qiye, do you think she is just pretending?"
Lu Baijie could feel that Yu Youwei's sluggishness at that time was not a fake, and said expressionlessly: "I think it's your own dazzledness?"
"seven"
"Enough." Lu Baijie raised his hand and interrupted, "Go down and do your work."
Wang Momo retreated a little bit unwillingly, the fat butler stepped forward and said, "Seventh Master, let's forget it? If it's really from Chu, it's a blood feud."
Lu Baijie closed his eyes slightly, and compared the Jiang Ni he just saw with all the women he saw in the Chu Palace. Unfortunately, he didn't have the ability to have a photographic memory. His brother's blood feud made him remember the photos of the Chu royal family Although the face is not similar, he still feels that this girl named Jiang Ni gives him an illusion of deja vu.
"I have my own concerns about this matter."
Lu Baijie slowly opened his eyes, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes.
Early the next morning, Xu Fengnian let Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei get into the carriage and move out of Lu's house.
With Li Jianshen and Grandpa Wei around, Xu Fengnian wasn't too worried about their safety.
Regarding the news that Jiang Ni and Yu Youwei moved away with Li Chungang and the others, although Lu Baijie was somewhat suspicious, there was no other movement.
A few days later, Erqiao got news that there would be a literary gathering at Baoguo Temple outside the city. One of the purposes of Xu Fengnian's trip to Yangcheng was to make a big noise in the literary circle, so that the royal family of Liyang could feel at ease. Now there is a chance Now, the day when he leaves Yangcheng is approaching.
During the half a month of living in Yangcheng, Xu Fengnian consulted a famous doctor privately. As Zhou Ji said, Xu Zhihu ignited his own life at one point every day, like brilliant fireworks, burning out only dust.
(I was actually a little touched when I saw Slow Knife. In the martial arts dramas I have seen before, as long as she wears a transparent veil, others will not be able to recognize what she looks like. This drama of Slow Knife broke this cliché .
The nuns of the Lu family can recognize Yu Youwei as the descendant of Xichu Sword Attendant through the veil, and she is the first person to break the stereotypes! )
