Qingguan Nightmare Shadow

Chapter 44

The person who announced the good news had a very long breath, and when he gasped, the end of the news had already traveled all over the street.After a while of silence, the sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, interspersed with the sound of carriages and horses clearing the road.For a moment, all the people who came after hearing the news were looking around eagerly, and the pointing movements seemed to have a broken wind due to overlapping and overlapping.The air is extremely cheerful, and every breath of wind and air flow is mobilizing the joyful mood of the bamboo repairers.

Needless to say, Yuchi Ling must have returned.Although Yu Chiling is from Chongzhou, he learned from Yunjue after all, and now that he is inscribed on the gold list, no matter what, he should come to Xiuzhu in brocade clothes.

Yun Li listened for a while, then turned to look at Su Tong, but he was no longer there.He hurriedly looked down, and sure enough, Su Tong had arranged her appearance during his trance, and now she was going downstairs towards the street.Yun Li called "Broken Sword", jumped down, subconsciously trying to stop him.However, he quickly realized that it was not Su Tong's style to go into the house to hide, so he stopped the flying "broken sword" with a little step.

Su Tong is Yu Chiling's classmate, and his classmate won the title of No. [-] Scholar. It would be unreasonable for Yun Li not to ask him to congratulate him in accordance with the etiquette.Watching Su Tong's back, Yun Li felt sad, feeling like he had failed because he had done a good job as a commanding officer.Come to think of it, Yu Chiling's commander made him run away from home and was a martial arts teacher, and now he helped him get on the champion horse, Yunli had to admit that he was inferior.Although Siming can't make a clear picture of the fate of the people in the book, and sometimes it is inevitable to get out of control, but making a person live "excellent and smooth sailing" for a long time can more or less explain the fate of the person in the book. Commander's ability.

Whether it's praising "the predecessors are exquisite" or lamenting "the younger generations are awesome", in comparison, Yun Li's work is indeed inferior to his colleagues in charge of Yuchi's order book.He closed himself up under the quilt for training, and the notebooks he wrote received countless praises from the immortals and gods; but when he put himself into the fate book and thought from Su Tong's perspective, he felt that the writing was stagnant, as if he was no longer There is nothing to add.He seems to have lost the courage to write and guide his life, and he is unwilling to put Su Tong in some dramatic situations for the sake of the immortals and gods.

Yun Li smiled, thinking when did he become so sour.

Hitting the south wall, right? He hit the south wall willingly.Destined for decades, just because this person is Su Tong, he doesn't want the fairy silver for decades.

He was thinking wildly, and faintly felt that there was someone behind him.

"Mr. Yunli?"

Looking back, Xu Zhen stared at him blankly.

Yunli: "Well, Xu Zhen? When did you come?"

Xu Zhen scratched his head and said, "Mr. Yunli, I've been here all the time. It's not good if the academy is empty, we still have to leave someone to guard the gate."

Yun Li was speechless for a moment.That is to say, just now Xu Zhen saw the scene where he thought he was alone here thinking about life and sighing from time to time?Yun Li coughed lightly, looked away, and suddenly caught the cold blanket falling from the corner of his eyes.He walked over to pick up the blanket, turned around again, hesitated for a moment and asked, "I yesterday..."

Xu Zhen cut the words and said: "Mr. Yunli, you were drunk yesterday and insisted on sleeping on the railing."

Yunli: "You tied the rope?"

Last night Yunli kept complaining that it was hot, so after coming out of the study, he picked up a random piece of open space in the courtyard dam in front of the academy and lay down.Almost all the people in Yunjue came to persuade him to go back to bed and sleep. Xu Zhen said that there were many mosquitoes near the bamboo forest, and he replied vaguely, "Is this fairy afraid of mosquitoes?" Everyone was helpless, and finally Jun Yao said If he wants to sleep here, let him sleep, and leave him alone.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, he was bitten by mosquitoes so much that he couldn't bear it, so he got up by himself, half asleep and half awake, looking for a bed.

He went to Su Tong's room, opened the window, and lay down on the railing.Although Su Tong didn't want to bother others, after thinking twice, he woke up Xu Zhen and asked him to look for a stronger rope so that he could help tie Yunli up.

Yunli asked if he tied the rope, Xu Zhenxin smiled wryly, and said in his heart that you didn't allow anyone to touch it except Su Tong yesterday, and I was afraid that if I got any closer, I would be killed by you.

Xu Zhen shook his head lightly and said, "It's not me, it's Mr. Su."

As for the quilt on Su Tong's body, Xu Zhen didn't know how to cover it.The fact is that Yun Li slept for a while and said that he wanted to cover himself with a quilt, so Su Tong put a blanket on him; in the end, he said that it was not I who wanted to cover the quilt but you who wanted to cover him, and he insisted on seeing Su Tong find a bed to make him sleep. Only when you are wrapped in a satisfactory quilt can you live in peace.Su Tong followed Yunli and covered him with a quilt, and watched him fall asleep by the window, but later she was also sleepy and forgot to take off the quilt.

Yun Li knew that the quilt must have something to do with him, so it was enough to understand this layer, so Fue simply stopped asking.

A round of firecrackers had just been extinguished, and a new round of cannons sounded again.The sound of this round of firecrackers was louder and longer. It sounded from far to near and then from near to far. It seemed that the explosion went straight from the street to the end of the street, passing the bamboo forest in front of Yun Jue on the way.

Yunli walked out of the bamboo forest to the side of the street, climbed onto the "broken sword", and looked down from above.Crowds lined the road, cars and horses were blocked, and the fragments of firecrackers were spread in a long string of gray, gray and red.A tall horse approached gradually, and a young man in red sat astride it, with a group of entourage on the side and behind the horse.

One should always be proud to return to one's homeland, and the "returning to one's homeland" is Yuchi Ling, and the proud expression on his face is more than half a minute.The so-called modesty is often just a talisman that people find for their trough; Yu Chiling never thought that he might be frustrated and subdued one day, so he never felt the need to hide his pride.

When they arrived at the Yunjue Bamboo Forest, Yu Chiling got off his horse.Compared with the crowd who were either looking up or looking up, Yun Li who was sitting on the "Broken Sword" undoubtedly stood out.Yu Chiling couldn't help but stare at him, their eyes collided, both of them squinted, and the cold air escaped from their eyes.

Yuchi ordered to dismount, a group of Yun Jue's scholars quickly surrounded him, and the rest retreated to Su Tong's side to form a circle.

Su Tong and Yu Chiling have never faced each other, but the Yunjue scholars lined up in groups in private, secretly betting on the results of the two people's scientific examinations.Now that Yuchi ordered Rong Rong to return, it is said that other people should congratulate him alone, but judging from the current situation, it seems that a group of people congratulated another group of people.

The two groups each follow Su Tong or Yuchi Ling as their role models, so the brows of the two groups of young scholars somewhat bear Su Tong's restraint or Yu Chi Ling's arrogance.Just as Su Tong treated Yuchi Ling, the scholars on Su Tong's side treated the other side, not to mention showing great sincerity like him, there are still eight and nine points.After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.However, the scholars were young and energetic after all, and whoever rolled their eyes first, everyone immediately quarreled.

All the scholars spoke to each other, saying, "Brother Xing Yin was lucky enough to avoid an accident", and "Brother Jue Gui, if he enters Beijing as scheduled, it's hard to say who's on the list and who's on the bottom", and so on, everyone held back. What I had been talking about for a long time was finally uttered.Although the facts are facts, there is a big gap between what is said and what is not said, and what is said explicitly and implicitly; the scholars who used to live in harmony suddenly drew a clear line.

Yunyao led Siming Xiaoxian, forming a group of her own, standing silently on the sidelines and watching.The scholars had to say these words sooner or later, and Yun Yao waited for them to quarrel; it was better to speak out quickly than secretly harbor anger.

There was no need for Siming Xiaoxian to participate in the quarrel, but suddenly a voice came out from behind Yunyao: "You can do it! What happened has already happened, everyone, who can go back to the past and change the facts? Don't talk more and more ugly Already, do you know that Yuchiling said in front of the emperor..."

Everyone wondered why he spoke suddenly, and after a little recollection, they all remembered that he was in charge of the carriage that sent Yuchi Ling to Beijing.

He entered Beijing with Yuchi's order, and seemed to understand something, but when everyone's attention was attracted, he cut off the second half of the conversation and remained silent.The scholars quarreled fiercely, but Su Tong and Yu Chiling, who were in charge of the topic, never said a word.Now the little fairy Si Ming drew everyone's attention to Yu Chiling, and everyone realized that there was a trace of nervousness in his expression, and it was unknown when this nervousness appeared.Su Tong looked at him, but he quickly turned his head away, and when he had no place to rest his hands, he turned and straightened the horse's reins.

At first Yunli didn't think that Yuchiling knew about Yuchi's mansion intercepting the car, but now seeing him avoiding Su Tong, he couldn't help doubting his conclusion.

However, Yuchiling's embarrassment, which was almost out of composure, seemed to be caused by the words of Xiaoxian Si Ming;From this point of view, some things are not easy to speculate.

Although Xiaoxian Siming's words were only half, it reminded the scholars on Yuchiling's side that they couldn't always hold on to the carriage falling off the cliff.The palace examination is an important event in a country, and apart from the official history recorded by the officials, there are also many rumors in the market.On Yuchiling's side, a well-informed scholar came forward and said: "Brother Yin's name title is a fluke. Let me tell you something, and you can judge it carefully, and then think about whether the word 'lucky' sounds bad." Looking around at him He continued: "Do you know, the emperor's proposition in the palace examination?"

Thinking that the proposition of the palace examination was related to Su Tong's buns, Yun Li became interested and leaned over to raise his ears.What made him want to laugh was that the scholar saw that no one answered, and he thought he had a secret, so he proudly said: "The emperor asked all the candidates in the hall: "What do you think about the strict law?" Answering one by one, the more the emperor listened, the more angry he became, until brother Xing Yin answered, he not only was not angry but praised, everyone knows why?"

Although Yu Chi Ling's complexion was not good, everyone watched his expression and saw that he didn't intend to correct his mistakes, so they assumed that what the scholar said was true and started talking in a low voice.

Yun Li couldn't help but groan, and interjected: "Since everyone is interested in discussing this issue together, it means that there is really no big enmity here. Mr. Su and Mr. Yuchi get along very well. What are you fanning about here? What's the fire? It's a festive day when the number one scholar comes back today, why don't you all leave first and help Jun Yao prepare a congratulatory meal."

At first Yu Chi Ling said that Yun Li was playing with words in an attempt to create mystery, but today thanks to this little scholar, he slapped himself in the face as well as Emperor Jiahui's.

Yunyao heard the unconcealable smile in Yunli's words, and understood that there should be reasons that others did not know.She felt that this scene should be closed at the moment, so she followed his will to dismiss the crowd, and turned around and ordered Xu Zhen to start arranging a congratulatory banquet.

Yunli couldn't wait to drag Su Tong to the steamed stuffed bun shop, and asked him to fulfill his promise.Back to Yun Jue, Yun Li said solemnly that all the people in the academy are relatives, and the dining table of relatives does not need to be gorgeous, but this steamed stuffed bun is a very simple and kind thing, with the best meaning.He boasted that a plate of buns was able to occupy the center of the round table. No matter where Yu Chiling looked, there were always round buns in his peripheral vision.

The scholar who told the story of the palace examination said "suspense" at the dinner table.What Yuchiling said in front of Jiahui was an addition to what Su Tong said in the study that day, but the general framework was almost the same.What annoyed Yuchiling even more was that several scholars who grew up in Xiuzhu spoke highly of the steamed stuffed buns bought by Yunli, saying that the steamed stuffed buns in this family pay attention to inheritance, and it is rumored that the flavor has not changed for generations and is very delicious; Zhu Scholar's kindness was hard to shirk, and now Yuchiling really couldn't avoid that bun.

People from Yuchi Mansion in Chongzhou came with Yuchi Ling; after eating, he stayed in Yunjue for a short time, went to the bedroom, study and other places to pack some things he used to, and was escorted by the people in the mansion. .

Since Emperor Jiahui's beheading, the capital has been peaceful for a long time.However, Yuchi Ling, this fresh stone, caused a burst of splashes on the water surface of the capital.

As we all know, there are a lot of vacancies in official positions across the country, so Jiahui has brought forward the palace examination to replenish talents.But looking around, the vacant positions are mainly important positions, and those who are not experienced enough cannot succeed.The problem is that Jiahui either imprisoned the former emperor's important ministers, punished them, or forced them to resign from office. No one was able to forcefully fill the vacant official positions.

Others don't know why, but Jiahui has a very good impression of Yuchiling, and one day when he came to court, he declared that he would be placed in the Bu government.Before Jiahui asked, "What do you guys think?", the court was in an uproar, and everyone said it was impossible.The ministers advised that Yuchi Xingyin was too young to take up this important task, among which the words of the chief and deputy ministers of the Bu government were the most violent.

In the end, the head of the Buzhengtai Bureau slowed down and said: "Yuchi Xingyin is very talented and learned, and no one denies it. Forgive me for taking the holy will. Others say that I can't entrust you with important tasks. Your Majesty will suspect him of jealousy; but I am lucky. Worshiping as the head of the Bu government, I will never feel dissatisfied because Yuchi Xingyin was appointed to the Bu government. The minister said no, it is really for the sake of His Majesty, for the sake of Xia Guo... Your Majesty, although the new jade is beautiful, it should be the beam of a country. Of tempered stone."

After the dynasty, Jiahui obediently complied with the wishes of all the ministers and kept the positions in the three government offices vacant, but turned around and brought Yuchiling directly to his side, and added a half-real and half-empty official position to Yuchi, named Fuguo .

No matter from the perspective of the name or the appointment of an exception, the so-called auxiliary country is no less than the official position of the main and deputy ministers in the Bu government; He made a huge concession, so the DPRK and China have been silent since then, and no one has written Chen Jian again.

While the people in the capital were discussing state affairs secretly, Yunjue Academy was calm.The young scholars were busy preparing for the exam, but on Si Ming Xiaoxian's side, since Nie Qiu had been silent recently and the "ghosts" were not causing trouble, they only dealt with trivial cases, and generally speaking, they were very leisurely.Mu Zhe came down from the top once, and the master who claimed to be Yunli said that he had retreated for a long time, and now he is going out, and it is time to take his disciples back.Unexpectedly, Yunjue's Siming Xiaoxian and Yunyao stayed in Xiuzhu, Shuzhou for more than four years, and several of them missed everyone and everything, and couldn't let go, saying that they would resign from the Siming's immortality like Yunyao , stayed with Yunyao in Xiuzhu.

Mu Zhe only canceled Yun Yao's name in the name book. As for the other little immortals who said she would stay, she only said that you want to come back again and again, which is considered to be a relaxation of the deadline.Facing Yunli, Mu Zhe didn't try to persuade him any more. Instead, he gave Yunyao a lot of advice like a foster son, and finally said: "Yunli's temper is weird, but he has been very good since he was a child; he has grown up recently. , acting rebelliously, Jun Yao must be more tolerant."

Apart from Master's belittling, the second thing that made Yunli a little upset these days was the way Meizi's family expressed their gratitude.As long as no major issues are involved, Meizi from the Yanshan family is in charge; Meizi asks a carpenter to make a plaque for Yunli, engraved with kind words as a token of gratitude.She didn't explain who and what happened in advance, and the plaque was made by a carpenter to mourn the deceased; although Yanshan felt that it was inappropriate, Meizi realized that it would cost her, so she put forward the words "in the heart, not in the form", and pushed Yanshan sent the plaque to Yunjue.

Yunli felt that even if he didn't live to the age of the ancient gods, he wouldn't need the plaque for a while, so he had to wait for Yanshan and the two to turn around and leave, then hide the plaque with Meizi on his back.

Another thing is related to Su Tong's article.Su Tong's letter to the prefect of Shuzhou disappeared, and everyone searched for it to no avail, so someone suddenly thought that the letter might have been eaten by Lord Yunli.Yunli's memory after being drunk was zero, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought this statement was quite reasonable, and once believed that he swallowed a lot of paper and ink that night.

Su Tong spread out new paper and had to rewrite.The prefect of Shuzhou received the letter, read it, and gathered the three main departments to discuss, and searched for the old people living in Shuzhou for major cases.

……

As the heat subsided, one day at the end of summer, Yun Jue, who had been silent for a long time, had a visitor.

At the gate of the academy, a man with a capital accent hastily reined in his horse and strode straight in.He was well dressed, but claimed that he was just an errand; Xu Zhen stepped forward to ask where he was from and why he came, but he froze and hurried to inform Yunyao.

After hearing what Xu Zhen said, Yunyao hurriedly asked why she was looking for her, so she should lead this gentleman to Su Tong as soon as possible.Xu Zhen patted his head to look for Su Tong, but he couldn't find anyone in the building. He went to the bamboo forest, and when he was anxious, he bumped into Yun Li who came back from Xin Yun.

Xu Zhen hurriedly asked: "Mr. Yunli can you see Mr. Su?"

Su Tong set off this morning to visit Mrs. Cheng and his wife, and they are probably here now.Seeing that Xu Zhen was sweating profusely, Yun Li's heart tightened, but he didn't answer him, and asked directly, "What happened?"

Xu Zhen felt anxious for a while, and suddenly laughed tremblingly: "The emperor sent someone to summon Mr. Su to Beijing."
