Chapter 188 – Gambling
Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked back to the first long room where the courtyard, the hall in front of the patio of the glazed fish tank has been destroyed, look up to see the plaque, is the father of Xuanyuan Jingcheng written in block letters pots of heaven everlasting spring, across the hall, there is a Royal Edicts building, teenager Xuanyuan Jingcheng almost all the time is spent here, the collection of scriptures and books of more than 6,000 volumes, only with the inquiry Pavilion is very different, here martial arts secret books are few and far between, they are all the classics of all the schools and the hundreds of schools of thought, the small building is simple and simple, but the The small building is simple, but the windows are bright and clean, and the top floor has a wide view, so you can observe the southern star and the northern dipper.
After a door is not broad Lingzhi courtyard, on both sides are narrow compartments, this is the supply of maid servant accommodation, just the first long room door cold, the woman and the nature of the cold, do not like the noise, only to leave a personal maidservant, the compartments are used as a miscellaneous, many Xuanyuan Jingcheng when young to express their feelings of injustice poetry and articles, were discarded into a heap, scattered in the table and chairs on the ground. Canal side of the male and female thousand-year-old Luohan Pine pair, coiled roots, peaks and crowns side by side, the more appears here cold and silent let a person heart panic. Xuanyuan Qingfeng and then go back is the woman’s private room, original calligraphy and painting couplets countless, after all were taken off by her, only hall hanging a “RuLai not as good as to go” plaque, about her in the way of carrying too much effort, only to be able to survive.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng walked to the tea room where you can see the scenery of the Dragon King River, saw her sitting quietly, surrounded by ashes, a scroll of paintings only white jade scroll, Xuanyuan Qingfeng coldly said: “Father killed the old ancestor with the realm of the Land God, Xuanyuan Jingyi was Huang Fangfo and Hong Phyo sneak attack, grandfather was expelled from the mountain. Northern Liang Shizi Xu Fengyen killed more than ten people in one breath outside Daxue Ping, let the light cavalry escort hanging corpse in Hui Shan Yi Men, threatened not to accept any Hui Shan people, now Hui Shan guest secretary ten to three or four, the rest of the idle scattered jianghu grassroots, more than half the number of people chose to go down the mountain.”
The woman only face daughter Xuanyuan Qingfeng, only not to speech attitude are rejected, soft voice laugh: “This is not exactly Qingfeng take over the Hui mountain of a good time? Xuanyuan Jingcheng swept clean the big snow ping, and then there is the North Liang son of the tiger eyeing, can be said to be internal trouble and external trouble, the history of those rising ministers, are in this kind of time to step forward, save the ripples in the fall, in order to let the people while thankful and fear, harnessing the hearts of the people, but it is the four words of the true words of the Enwei and Ji Ji, if my mother has not guessed correctly, Xuanyuan Jingcheng and that His Highness has reached a secret treaty agreement to remove the Huang Fangfo and the Hong Phyo In addition to Huang Fangfo and Hong Peo, there are some hidden chess pieces that are not moving, is that right? What I’m most curious about is whether the Prince has ever asked for more than he deserves, making it difficult for Qingfeng to meet his demands. If it is to marry into the Northern Liang King’s residence as a side consort, it may not be impossible. To Huishan Xuan Yuan family hundreds of years of foundation as dowry, under the sky there are not many women who have such a large sum of money, right?”
The woman’s voice is soft and gentle, very pleasant to the ear, but the moral of the words, told by her, at this time and place, but cold to the bone.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng laughed, even laughed out of tears, reached out and wiped the tears, said: “good life let mother disappointed, that His Highness can not look at the eyes of this Hui Mountain, not to mention even rouge assessment are not on the Xuanyuan Qingfeng. This can be blamed on the mother you did not give birth to Qingfeng more watery scourge ah!”
The woman did not get angry, just quietly waiting for Xuanyuan Qingfeng to finish laughing, see her daughter’s cheeks tears can not stop, reach out to help wipe away, was Xuanyuan Qingfeng fierce shot off. She still did not think, said gently: ”Mouse because of the food end of the sneak trail to go, the dog for the poor family dare to sleep. It is a pity that this is to say that those small doors and small households, but Huishan qi although the damage is terrible, but not necessarily really will be a stumble, bullock big post today encounter, than a hundred years ago, the Wu family sword mound a line of experts in the territory of the North Mang almost dead, or to be a few points better. North Liang Shizi hanging corpse shocked the crowd, clearly is in the Qing Feng momentum, really as you say that Shizi ambition is not in Hui Mountain, better, and so he took the troops and horses a go, Qing Feng if you feel that the hands of the constraints, not enough to control the situation, you can seek some shelter to the Longhu Mountain, Tianshifu and bullock big post for hundreds of years has been a glory to glory and a loss to loss, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor, that is, we are with the Dragon and Tiger Mountain. ”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng coldly laughed: “In the end it is still begging.”
The woman murmured softly: “People live a life, seek heaven and earth, king and father, which have not begged.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said expressionlessly, “That Shizi left more than a hundred light cavalry in Hui Mountain, saying that they are responsible for carrying the Questioning Pavilion’s secret manual facsimile back to Northern Liang.”
The woman laughed, “Xuanyuan Jingcheng said a sentence that Niang had a rare opportunity to memorize, that the ten million pounds of talent in a man’s belly is less than the four taels of weight on a woman’s chest. In Mother’s opinion, this His Highness the World Son obviously still has thoughts about Qingfeng. Whether or not to be the side consort of Beiliang, it does not matter, the royal family bells and whistles, for women may not be all blessings. But if you can take advantage of the situation to stabilize Hui Shan, it is the first priority at the moment. Mother, regardless of that Yuan Tingshan talent high and low, do not meet in the future, a jianghu martial arts, achievement again high, are not as good as Beiliang son of a sentence to benefit from the benefits of practical. Within a short period of time, Beiliang Shizi can only be close not to be estranged, as for the long term is how a scene, take a step to see a step can be, like playing chess, Qingfeng can not be in a hurry to fall into the roots.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng dazed, absent-minded, reached out and poured himself a cup of wine, wine is still warm and fragrant, tilted his head and drank a mouthful.
No longer young woman’s eyes soft, laughed: “A cup of osmanthus wine into the mouth, two peach blossom face to come.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said flatly, “This was written by father.”
She calmly said, “Xuanyuan Jingcheng has said and written so much, there are always a few lines that he will remember. Ancient books recorded that Zhaoshuang Mountain has many ancient laurels, but when my mother went to the mountain, there were not many left, and among them, that Tang Laurel was the oldest and most lush, and every fall, the laurels rained like rain, and it was glorious but not charming.”
She hesitated and slowly said, “It’s just like how Xuanyuan Jingcheng conducts himself.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng gripped his wine cup tightly, raised his head to stare at her dead on, and choked through clenched teeth, “Wouldn’t it be ironic to the extreme to say that my father is good now?!”
She said blandly, “Has mother ever said anything bad about Xuanyuan Jingcheng?”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng bit through the corner of his mouth, oozing blood into the wine glass, his voice trembled as he asked, “Mother, have you ever liked father, even a little bit?”
She shook her head, “I don’t know.”
Xuanyuan Qingfeng went crazy and laughed coldly, saying, “Then that means you never liked him. Poor father for you to read for twenty years, read out a thousand years under the sky the most comical and ridiculous land immortal!”
She did not retort.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng threw away the wine cup, rose abruptly, and when his back was turned to her, he said in a deep voice: “Mother, don’t worry, father spent his mind and soul to create the current situation, Qingfeng will surely fight to the death to keep Hui Mountain from collapsing, so that mother can live a peaceful and stable old age!”
She still didn’t make a sound.
Waiting for Xuanyuan Qingfeng to leave the courtyard, she slowly got up, picked up the hot wine pot without feeling the pain, and walked straight to Da Xue Ping.
After the rain cleared, the scenery of the Great Snow Ping was pleasant.
She came to the cliffside and showed a poignant smile that no one had ever seen before, “Jing Cheng, no more gambling with you.”
She leapt.
