Chapter 1: Yuming Jiugao, Sound in the Wild 3

Hearing the footsteps, Wei Tanyi shook his hand and turned half of his body: "Lord Hang came just in time to catch up with the first bowl of tea."

The person who came was Shang Shuhang Xun of the Ministry of Affairs, but at this time, he was being helped by a domestic servant and slowly stepped into the door. Compared with the refreshing spirit on the night of the banquet, Hang Xun is decadent at this time.

Sitting in the chair, Hang Xun coughed repeatedly, and the tea bowl could only be taken over by the servant and put aside.

"Lord Hang came to the door in person. Should he do it according to the words of the people?" Wei Tanyi carefully held a bowl of his own tea.

"Yes, I received the imperial edict yesterday. I have sent Huai Mo into the palace. Why do I still feel weak?" Although Hang Xun is weak, his eyes are still imposing.

Wei Tanyi met his sight without fear, and his smile was in place: "You still need to rest for three days after taking medicine, not to mention this reckless disaster."

Hang Xun's face was gloomy: "I only know that Mr. Wei is very good at antique calligraphy and painting, but I didn't expect that Mr. Wei also has a way for ghosts and demons."

"Lord Hang is flattered," Wei Tanyi said indifferently, but his expression was more focused on the fragrant tea juice in his hand. "Jade is originally transformed by the soul of heaven and earth. It is not surprising that it has been cultivated for thousands of years. If the person wearing it is wrong and the jade spirit is angry, the person may get sick. Cao Min is only entrusted by Huai Mo in his dream, but he is very incompetent.

Hang Xun hummed coldly and stopped talking.

***

The night is silent.

A vague dark shadow swept over the heavily guarded Forbidden Palace in the wind and quietly fell on the glazed tiles of the Zunwei Palace. Although the person was dressed in black, his clothes were beautiful, not as tight as ordinary night walkers, and his handsome face was even too lazy to hide it.

His feet hooked the painted wooden beams under the eaves, and the man turned over and hung upside down lightly. His body was soft and boneless.

If anyone sees it, they will definitely recognize that this is a common move used by Jianghu women in performing pole skills. It is called Yuyan. Those who can master it must have been practicing from an early age. If they are not an artist, they will be Liang Shangjunzi.

The visitor almost folded his whole body into the shadow and peeped into the scene through the smooth window.

A group of maids were serving the emperor to sleep. One of them held Huai Mo in his hand and put it in the pocket on his chest when the emperor lay down. After sorting it out, the women in the harem retreated to the outer hall in turn.

"It seems that everything is going well." After confirmation, he returned to the roof again and sneaked into the wind and went straight to the mountain north of Miyagi.

- After Ruan Lang strangled me to death, I stayed in Huai Mo, wandering in the Yang world with this purpose. Then I heard that the Su perished, and I became a disaster of national anthem that everyone scolded.

- With Huai Mo's wandering for hundreds of years, I can't stop missing Ruan Lang. I want to go back to the sky where he committed suicide. If he is detained in the world like me, I want to ask him why he killed me back then instead of letting me accompany him to the end.

-Huai Mo finally returned to heaven after several turns, but the forbidden palace is no longer a place where I can go in and out freely. Knowing that Ruan Lang is waiting for me across a wall, I can't meet him.

In early spring, there were only a few peach blossoms and residual plums in the mountain. The man in black quickly found a silent figure under a peach blossom tree.

"Your Majesty." He saluted to the thin figure.

The figure turned over. He was a very young man, but his crown was scattered and his clothes were not neat. It was difficult to think of the majestic word "Your Majesty".

"Why can you see me?" The young man looked at the man in black kneeling in front of him and asked slowly.

The man in black said, "Grassman guard sandalwood, entrusted by the flower-effect mother, to convey a few words to your majesty."

"Flower effect?" The young man muttered the name and then smiled bitterly, "Don't lie to me. Although I have been a hundred years old, I still can't hear the name of my old friend."

Seeing that he was not allowed to be flat, Wei Tanyi stood up by himself. Regardless of whether he was willing to listen or not, he only said, "The Empress Huaxiao has been wandering with Huai Mo for more than a hundred years and has not dissipated. Just to meet your majesty, now the empress is living under the house temporarily. I hope that your majesty can reunite with the empress."

The young man's eyes were slightly weak, as if looking out of the palace wall.

"Isn't your majesty lonely here alone?"

As soon as these words came out, the young man sighed for a moment: "What is loneliness? I have been numb for more than a hundred years. My heart is like water, and I don't have to worry about myself."

As expected, he would answer like this. Wei Tanyi gently raised the corners of his mouth and changed his tone: "Oh? You selfishly only ask for your own stability, but you don't know that others have broken your heart for you, and you have to get justice even if you fight for it.

"What's the solution for this?" The young man was angry.

"The flower lady wants to ask you why she strangled her back then," Wei Tanyi brushed the peach petals blowing down her shoulder. "If you don't want your woman to be owned by others and humiliated, if the flower girl falls into the hands of the new king, she will definitely enjoy all the glory and wealth, but you selfishly kill her. She is just to satisfy her possessiveness.

"You talk nonsense!" The young man was easily enraged and was about to hit him with a punch, and was dodged by Wei Tanyi.

"Even if what I'm talking about is the truth, she still doesn't believe it. She firmly believes that if you live and die with you, you will have the same contract. I hate that you don't allow her to accompany you to the end and chase you away whatever you say."

The smile on Wei Tanyi's lips was thick, and he sighed: "Only women are infatuated in the world, but men are only ordinary."

Shocked by his last two words, the young man turned his head and stared at him for a long time.

***

"What?" Han Ruxu, who was on the night patrol, suddenly felt a chill in his back. He turned around with a knife, but he didn't see a half-person figure.

It's strange. Are you too suspicious? As he thought, he looked around. Suddenly, a ghost floated in front of his eyes and sneaked into a house on the roadside.

Han Ruxu was shocked and rubbed his eyes hard. Is it possible that I have been so unlucky recently that even ghosts can see them? Anyway, do you want to remind that family? When he made up his mind, he clenched the knife in his hand, strode over and knocked hard on the door.

Soon the door opened, and Wei Tanyi's slightly impatient face appeared in front of him.

"What, how is it you?" Han Ruqi almost stepped back a big step.

There was no smile on Wei Tanyi's face, which was a little scary: "You knocked on my door and asked why it was me. Can't you even recognize the location of your private lover late at night?"

Even the title of "Lord Han" was skipped. The merciless irony made Han Ruxuan's eyes wide open. When she turned back, she had missed the opportunity to lose her temper. She only stared at the indifferent Yuezhan in front of her and couldn't speak for a long time.

"Are you really in Wei Tanyi?"

"If it's fake, it will be replaced."

"...It's already time. Are you still awake?" Otherwise, how can you be neatly dressed or black? Every time you meet, you are snow-white as if you are running for mourning.

Wei Tanyi finally had a smile, but this smile with a bloody smell only made people feel cold: "I can't sleep alone, waiting for Lord Han to come."

Han Ruxu was in a cold sweat by his smile. He even forgot why he knocked on the door. Listening to his explicit words, he suddenly jumped like thunder: "What are you talking about!" He has lived for more than 20 years and hasn't seen anyone who dares to take advantage of him. He is still a man.

He looked at his rage like thunder, and Wei Tanyi slammed and closed the door.

***

According to Wei Tanyi's plan, the prince said to the emperor that Huai Mo is a rare treasure. If he wears it on his chest for five days, it will be beneficial to the disease.

"What did the letter say?" The woman dared to ask when she saw Wei Tanyi put down the letter.

"The emperor has felt much more comfortable in recent days. He rewarded the prince and Hang Shangshu, and then returned the Huaimo who had absorbed the disease to Hang Shangshu. If it is not expected, Huaimo will be sent to Yuezhai in the next few days. Lord Hang himself is also sick, and he dares not pick up Huai Mo again.

As if to confirm his words, three domestic servants in the thick clothes of Hangfu came in and handed the brocade box containing Huai Mo to Wei Tanyi. At the latest tomorrow, Wei promises to wash away the dirt and return the original. At that time, Lord Hang will also fully recover. The three servants took Wei Tanyi's words and left, as if they were afraid of being seen.

The woman's eyes kept falling on the brocade box. It was not until Wei Tanyi walked to the backyard with the box in her hand.

Half of the area of the small courtyard was occupied by the gushing spring water. Wei Tanyi came to the spring and gently opened the brocade box.

A wisp of white smoke slowly rose and fell to the ground and condensed into a human appearance.

"Ruan Lang..." The woman called out.

***

In one day, two thank-you gifts will be sent to Zhai. The servants of the prince's mansion and the servants of the minister's house did not like each other, and they were only busy conveying their master's gratitude to the Lord Yuezhai.

Wei Tanyi still smiles as usual and accepts it calmly. The citizens outside the door admire and envy. Of course, there are also people who are jealous.

Two inconspicuous young people hid in the corner of the street and looked at the situation from afar. One of them said, "It seems that King Yi and the prince are intended to win over the Lord of Ramadan. It seems that he is not an ordinary role."

Another person nodded: "Now the prince is the most powerful, and King Yi is the only one who can compete with it, but the Lord..."

"You go back immediately and tell me what you saw today. I'll stay here."

"Okay, one step ahead."

At this time, there was only one Wei Tanyi left in the store. The two groups of people who came to thank him also sent a message and said it. If they stayed any longer, it was difficult to say that there would be a conflict, so they left separately. Although the onlookers had not dispersed, the limelight was over.

"So it seems that we can catch up with the new tea during the Qingming Festival." Wei Tanyi opened the gift box sent by Hangfu, which contained an ingot of gold and some Qianchao coins. Look at what the prince sent. This time it's a jade square.

It happens that the old water is missing a piece, and now it can be replaced. A few days ago, Lord Zhou of Guanglu Temple was interested in the wood water square in the early years of the Yong Dynasty. He just added a little money to buy Qingming tea. If there is any left, just keep it to buy Guyu tea.

At the thought of good tea, Wei Tanyi's usual smile changed slightly, which seemed to be more natural and more real. This strange expression made Han Ruxu, who was about to enter the door, shrink his feet back.

When he returned home that night, he remembered the ghost he saw, and Wei Tanyi was dressed in black. Wasn't he dazzling? Did he happen to see him fly into his yard? It's strange to think about it. It's not a thief. It's hard to cross the wall when you enter your yard, let alone the phantom figure...

So, is it that the Lord of Ramadan is actually a ghost?

With this idea, Han Ruqi is unwilling to come to Yongningfang for inspection in the next few days. It's easy to look forward to a sunny day today. Presumably, ghosts will not eat people under the world. He still decided to come and ask.

But when I saw such a smile at this time, it was difficult to associate him with ghosts.

"Lord Han must have been rewarded. Is this coming to pay the bill?" As soon as Wei Tanyi noticed him, he immediately put away his smile and only floated a little on the corners of his lips.

Han Ruxu had to shake his head: "My father asked someone to send a letter from home, saying that his younger brother was going to get married, and I sent him back to my hometown."

Wei Tanyi showed a look of regret: "Lord Han really lives up to his reputation. He is still heavily in debt and can help others. I'm really ashamed."

Knowing that he could not compete with the creditor, Han Ruxu did not hesitate to speak and came straight to the point: "That night, I passed by Yongning Square and saw a dark shadow rushing into your yard. Is that actually you?"

Asked by his determined words, Wei Tanyi was silent for a long time and said, "Since Lord Han has seen it, do you want to sit down and listen to a story? It has something to do with the shadow."

***

"What do you think I should do?"

"It's very simple. As long as you attach it to Huai Mo, I will arrange for you to meet after Huai Mo comes out of the palace."

"... I and Hua Yu are dead people. Why did everything Mr. Wei come from?"

"If you feel guilty, tell her when you meet, you don't want her to see your death, so you cruelly let her go first, and then go after her."

"Only women are infatuated in the world, but men are only ordinary... I understand."

***

"Where did you hear this story?" Han Ruqi held a "special" jade cup, and the tea juice shook until it cooled down and didn't take a few sippings.

Wei Tanyi seems to be intoxicated with the fragrance of tea: "If I say that Huaimo told me by himself, Lord Han, don't drop the jade cup rewarded by the prince."

"Humph!"

"Even if jade becomes a spirit, it can't talk to people. This story was told to me by the master, and he is also somewhat related to those two people.

Han Ruqi's eyes widened: "Wait a minute, it was hundreds of years ago that the Su Dynasty was subjugated because the king was brutal and did not think about the government. Why did the master..."

"Master is a thousand-year-old demon." When he said this, Wei Tanyi smiled sarcastically, and I didn't know whether it was a problem for his master or Han Ruxu.

"Speaking again, what are the powders you just put into the tea soup?"

Wei Tanyi cast his eyes into the teacup, and the white powder had not completely melted. It's just a cure."

In the slightly rippling tea juice, you can faintly see the last hug of the man and woman.
