Jiuli Meixiang

Jiu'er wrinkled his nose: "Master once said that the world outside the valley is like a Journey to the West full of monsters and monsters, one trap at a time. If you want to only deceive others and not be deceived by others, you have to keep fighting monsters and upgrading. Many Even if you reach the full level, you may not be able to find a paradise like Immortal Valley, only those of us who are in the blessing and don't know the blessing will think about running outside."

Seeing that he closed his eyes, Jiu'er lowered his voice and spoke very slowly.

The whole body of the car seemed to be floating in the clouds, and Jiu'er's soft words seemed to be washed away, and it was half a beat behind before Mei Changsu heard it.After a pause, he asked, "Journey to the West? What is it?"

"Brother Su, don't you know?" It's rare that he doesn't know something, and Jiu'er is very happy to explain it in detail, "Journey to the West is a monkey, a pig, a horse that turned into a dragon, and a bearded man. , accompanied by a bald monk who went through ninety-nine and eighty-one ordeals, and went to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures."

Mei Changsu raised a smile: "I think Fei Liu must like to listen."

The named Fei Liu had already squatted on the carriage silently, but he also knew not to make noise, so he responded in a low voice: "Fei Liu loves to listen!"

Jiu'er raised her index finger to her lips, signaling for silence.

Mei Changsu recalled what she said earlier, and asked dissatisfiedly, "Is Brother Su also a demon?"

"Of course not!" After thinking for a while, "Brother Su is the God of Dinghai."

He is everyone's Dinghaishenzhen, standing in the [-]-mile cold deep sea all year round, without moving.As long as he is there, thunder can break mountains, and winds can shake the sea without being startled.

"What is Jiu'er?"

"Jiu'er is also doing Dinghaishen needle, and will accompany Brother Su!"

It was almost late when I returned to Su's house.The carriage stopped at the door, and the black and strong horse raised its head to meet the setting sun.As soon as the curtain of the car was lifted, the ocher red sunset fell on his face.

Jiu'er narrowed his eyes, raised his hand to block his eyebrows, and jumped out of the carriage briskly.Immediately, he turned around to help Mei Changsu support the car curtain, and stretched out his other hand to support him.

Li Gang and Zhen Ping hurried out from the gate, one on the left and one on the right, no wonder they were in a hurry, they both knew what would happen today.

The suzerain is here!

The two suddenly stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and saw smiles in each other's eyes.I know, there is no need for them to come forward.

Chapter 27

It was nearly three o'clock, and it was still a dark night. Mei Changsu knew that this clear night was not over yet, and someone would definitely come.The surroundings were extremely quiet, as if the silence in the prison had returned all the way back that day, but the air was filled with the soft fragrance of grass, trees and soil unique to early spring.There was a gurgling flow of quiet satisfaction in his heart.

Aunt Ji opened the door of the study and came in, to take Jiu'er back to her room to sleep.

Mei Changsu looked sideways, and saw that the little girl next to her had magically made a hole in the thin quilt of the soft couch, buried her little head in it, and snored softly, sleeping very soundly.

Suddenly he was very reluctant, and couldn't bear to wake her up, so he replied, "Aunt Ji, go to bed first, I'll take Jiu'er back to her room later."

Just as Aunt Ji left the study, the bell of a visitor came from the secret passage.Mei Changsu got up and walked over, opened the bookcase that concealed people's eyes, and faced His Highness Prince Jing's face that was as deep as ink.Jiu'er also knew that Xiao Jingyan would definitely come tonight, so she refused to obediently go back to her room to sleep.

The two sat opposite each other, without speaking for a long time.Mei Changsu knew why Xiao Jingyan came here—walking in the darkness for a long time, thinking that it would always be like this, and this was the only way to go, but suddenly he saw a star in the distance. Trying to relax for a moment, wishing he could run towards the light immediately, and stretch out his hand to tear away the gloomy veil covering his head!

But can't.

The light was still behind the heavy mountain shadows, and the mountain road was rugged, so they had to look down at the road.

He must stop.He stepped out like an outsider and advised King Jing to thoroughly investigate the various flaws in Chi Yan's old case, which would not benefit what they are planning now.Moreover, Xia Jiang, Xie Yu and others were only external factors that fueled the flames. The real crux was Emperor Liang's suspicion.Not to mention, the case was handled by Emperor Liang himself. As long as he is in power for one day, how can he be willing to stand before the sinners and make Zhao Xue for Chi Yan and King Qi!

One by one, one after another, they were mercilessly placed in front of Prince Jing.It's not that he doesn't understand, it's just that he is unwilling.Those are his elder brother, relatives, close friends who grew up together... He didn't have any defenses. When he was still full of joy and thought that everything was perfect, were they being slaughtered by the enemy's bloody blade... 13 years ago he I didn't have time to save them, I just hope that now, it will be faster.Faster.

But even this can't...

He had never straightened his back before, so he couldn't help feeling a little weak, and asked in a painful voice: "...but why? Why?..."

Why?Mei Changsu felt miserable, and he also wanted to know why?

The candle wick burned out a small candle, and in the flickering shadow of the candle, Mei Changsu felt his sleeve being gently tugged. When he turned around, he saw Jiu'er tugging at the corner of his cuff. He yawned, his big eyes were immediately full of water, and there were sleep marks on the left half of his face, and his hair was even worse, which had been arched into a mess.The whole person looks childish and funny.

Mei Changsu held back, but couldn't hold back, and laughed.Jiu'er knew his sleeping habits, so he stretched out his paws and scratched his head twice indifferently, laughed along with him, and called out, "Brother Su!"

Mei Changsu let out a "hmm", he knew that she would get angry when she was woken up while sleeping, so she must have woken up for a while now and heard his conversation with Prince Jing.Pulling off her thin fingers that were planing on her head, she changed her own hand.

The bright white moonlight deftly shone in from the window sills. His Highness Prince Jing watched in disbelief as the majestic leader of Jiang Zuo skillfully untied the little girl's messy hair, and then carefully tied it back together. it's here.

Of course, Jiu'er didn't think that Prince Jing shouldn't be here at this time, but that whenever he appeared in front of Brother Su, he would "very! No! Yes! Yes!"! !But she has learned to behave well, knowing that Mei Changsu doesn't like her targeting Prince Jing, her big clear eyes blinked innocently, looking extremely obedient: "Is His Highness Prince Jing going to stay here tonight? Do you want to?" Ask Aunt Ji to prepare a room for him?"

Sure enough, King Jing immediately stood up and bowed to say goodbye after hearing this, Jiu'er was very satisfied.

Mei Changsu saw through her spirit at a glance, but he had finished what he needed to say, and it was already late at night, so he also returned the gift to see off the guests.

Outside the door is the gray-black night sky, green bamboos, one by one quietly, in the darkness of the cold spring, shrouded by the endless wind and damp fog.There is a desolate and empty tranquility.

Something always happens on such a night, some unexpected incidents, breaking the emptiness in people's hearts.

It was a bell that rang suddenly, dull and long.

"Dang—!" A long cry came from afar, very slowly, slowly soaking into everyone's eardrums.But it was very fast, followed by the second sound, the third sound... the chirping of insects, the sound of vegetation growing in early spring all subsided, and only this bell was left in the world, resounding through Jinling City.

Mei Changsu and Prince Jing were both stunned for a moment, then rushed to the corridor together.The expressions of both of them were very dignified, and a little dull, looking up at the deep purple void cautiously, as if the bell had turned into substance, hung in the air, and could be seen.They are trying their best to confirm whether what they heard is real or hallucination.

Li Gang and Zhen Ping also rushed over when they heard the bell, looking nervously at their suzerain.Li Gang even turned his attention to Jiu'er. He personally handed over the magical "ghost grass" to Dr. Zhang, who was placed in the palace hospital by Jiang Zuomeng. If something went wrong in this matter, he would really die Mo redemption.

After a while, just like when it rang, the bell stopped without any warning, only the faint aftertaste, like a hook, hooking everyone's hearts so that they could not be quiet.

Mei Changsu and Prince Jing were even more puzzled, and asked incredulously, "How many times? How many times?"

"...Seven tones." Li Gang replied with some hesitation.

"Most of the golden bells ringing in the palace are mournful, but seven..." Zhen Ping also interjected.

Although he was puzzled, Mei Changsu breathed a sigh of relief. If the Empress Dowager passed away, it would be Jinzhong 27, the sound of a great funeral.

Although it is certain that it is not the Empress Dowager, there must be something wrong when the golden bell in the palace rings, not to mention that there is still his mother Concubine Jing inside the gate of the palace, King Jing said his goodbyes and left in a hurry.

Li Gang and Zhen Ping also retreated quietly.

Jiu'er noticed that the full moon in the sky was imprinted in Mei Changsu's eyes, it disappeared in a blink of an eye, and appeared again in a blink of an eye, her eyes were as soft as the moon, looking at her, a bright moon was also printed in her heart.

For the first time, she felt that it would be such an interesting thing for two people to keep looking at each other without talking and doing nothing. They could keep looking at each other until Grand Master's poinciana bloomed and fruited countless times.There is not only the moon in his eyes, there must also be honey, bit by bit seeping into the center of her mouth, it is extremely sweet.

But she didn't see Grand Master's poinciana blossom and bear fruit for so long, just for a moment, she blinked, walked over and took his hand.In fact, Jiu'er didn't know what the sudden ringing of the bell meant, but she guessed a little bit from Mei Changsu's expression, and heard what Li Gang and Zhen Ping meant, it seemed to be a death knell, so she was worried that something bad might happen. things happen.

Mei Changsu took her hand into the room and sat down, then asked softly, "Does Jiu'er know who the Empress Dowager is?"

"I know!" To Mei Changsu's surprise, Jiu Erji
