Golden branches and jade leaves

Chapter 110 Extra-text Zither Fifty Strings ([-])
Extra: Fifty Strings of Zither ([-])

It is estimated that the fourth prince of Daqi at that time, and the later emperor of Daqi never had such experience in his whole life.

There was a crisp sound of "pa", and immediately after that, a red mark appeared on that pink face.

I looked at his face with a sense of accomplishment, and then with a strong force, I pulled the ball out of his arms.

He seemed to be stunned by such a sudden change, he was stunned for a while, and then mist began to appear in his big bright eyes, and then he burst into tears with a "wow".

It's really useless!I remember Caizhu didn't shed tears like this when she was beaten louder by those people with high-pitched voices.

I was about to turn away with my loot and ignore this boring guy when he grabbed my sleeve from behind.

I got annoyed, turned around and pushed him, and pushed him to the ground, but I forgot that he was holding on to my sleeve tightly, so I was brought by him and fell to the ground, under his arms body.

Seeming to be pinched by my weight, he whimpered and struggled to get up.Unprepared, I was thrown to the ground by him.

The clothes were stained, and I was even more angry.This meant that Caizhu would have to carry my clothes to the well in the middle of the night, and would not be able to return to the house in time to hug me to sleep.

"I..." He wanted to speak.

At the same time, there was a faint sound of someone approaching in the distance, still shouting something.

"Let go of me!" I became anxious and shouted at him.Struggling to push him away.But I don't know why, but my sleeve is still firmly held by him.

Seeing that he didn't want to let go, I kicked him hard, leaving two black footprints on his bright and dazzling clothes.

Finally he let go of my sleeve.

Afterwards, with this rare trophy in my arms, I excitedly ran out of the garden along the old road, leaving him lying on the ground crying loudly.

In this bewildered palace, I searched and wandered for a long time before I finally recognized the path I was in, and then ran towards the house where I lived happily.

Following the afterglow of the setting sun, I returned to the door of the house and saw the colorful beads hovering nervously in front of the door.

Her face was pale with anxiety and worry, and she was looking around anxiously.Seeing my figure, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face, and he rushed forward and hugged me tightly.

I wrenched from her arms, eager to show her the fruits of my day's work.

However, when I took out the shiny and exquisite ball from my arms and proudly placed it in front of her, she seemed to have seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and her face became as pale as paper.

It was as if life was being pulled out of her body, and her eyes dimmed instantly due to the great fear and despair.

I grabbed her skirt, stared wide-eyed and asked, "Caizhu, Caizhu, what's wrong with you? Isn't this fun?"

She lowered her head in despair, and looked at me with eyes that I had never seen before, which made me feel chills from the bottom of my heart, and intuitively raised an ominous premonition.

I don't know how long it took, suddenly there was a commotion sound from the surroundings, from far to the end, Caizhu seemed to wake up from a dream, she immediately moved into action, looking around hurriedly, as if she was looking for something, compared to the one who just looked for me Time to panic even more.

I could just stand there and look at her in bewilderment.

Then she finally decided something, turned around, picked me up, then supported me, and lifted me up to the roof, where there was a sunken pothole, although it was not big, it was just right Hold my small body.

"Don't come out, don't come out..." She repeated in my ear, and then she climbed down from the roof.

At this time, the distant voices had already entered my ears. Although I could not understand the meaning of these words at that time, they were still firmly engraved in my heart, as if they were what happened that day. Everything I can never forget.

"... even she has a child, and the age is right... I don't know if it's a son or a daughter... just in front..."

I lowered my head on the roof, not daring to make a sound. These gradually approaching figures made me feel instinctive fear.

Then I heard voices from below.

……

"... There is a daughter, but she has died of illness. Just a few days ago..."

"Where's the corpse?"

"It has been placed in the mass grave in Dongtou."

……

Immediately afterwards, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets came from the room, as well as the voice of colorful beads: "I really dare not hide it, my lords..."

……

"... Mass graves? Take us to see..."

……

Then came the sound of footsteps gradually going away. I wanted to raise my head and look down, but I was used to following Caizhu's orders and resisted this temptation.It wasn't until their voices gradually faded away that I raised my head slightly boldly, and saw Caizhu's figure being caught in a group of people disappearing at the end of the road from a distance.

It was also the last time I saw her.

I continued to lie on the roof and wait until the night was very deep and the stars poked out my head, but Caizhu still didn't come back, so I came back here and hugged me down.

Looking at the quiet moon in the sky, I finally couldn't stand it anymore, being cold and hungry, and climbed down from the roof.

I hesitated for a moment, and followed the direction they went away during the day.

I didn't know how long I ran along the road. I almost fainted, and finally reached the end of the road. Then, I saw a barren flat land with a lot of white cloth inside, and I don't know what was covered under it.

In the darkness, there was the rustling sound of the wind blowing through the trees, and the cold and fear intertwined into my bones, which made me shiver, but the figure of Caizhu lingered in my heart, supporting me to keep going forward.

Then, I saw him.

He was a skinny old man, with gray hair and beard, but the light in the corners of his eyes made him look like a young man with high spirits.

This is the first time I met my master.

And under his feet are the colorful beads that I am familiar with.

That night, he was collecting materials for disguising masks, and found this mass grave.This is actually not a mass burial mound, but a place where the dead palace people are collected. Every other day, a full-time internal eunuch will send these corpses out of the palace, because the final fate of the corpses staying here is nothing more than being thrown into the chaos. The burial mound was buried hastily, so this square is also called the mass burial mound.

I just remember that at that time, I lost my eyes, lost everything, only the colorful beads lying on the ground.

I rushed forward, pushed him away, and fell on Caizhu's body.

He stepped aside like a shadow, watching my movements amusedly.

I don't know how long it took, I was lying on Caizhu's body crying heartbroken, he suddenly rushed up and hugged me tightly, pinching my body with a pair of dry hands like eagle claws, and then panicked. Shouting, "Extraordinary talent, peerless talent! I have been looking for it for 30 years, but I never thought it would be here..."

……

The subsequent process was naturally logical. I asked him to bury Caizhu's body, and I followed him out of the palace.He took me to fly through the numerous palaces, and it was the first time that I looked down on the endless nine palaces from above.In the dizziness of flying high in the air, the far-reaching palace also became hazy, like a nightmare that has gone away from me...

My childhood also ended on this day.

……

While meditating, there was a loud noise outside, which seemed to be the sound of soldiers from the Liao Army passing by on patrol.My thoughts were interrupted by this voice, I turned my head away, a faint blue light came in from the window, making the darkness shrouded in me flicker, I sighed, turned around and opened the half-closed door and walked out , out of this room poured with my childhood memories.

Walking out of the low room, I jumped up to the eaves, and ran towards the west along the direction in memory.

Soon, the familiar palace came into view.

My lips couldn't help but smile.In that low little house, I lived for seven full years, but in this bustling and exquisite palace, I only lived for seven days.

But the memory of these seven days is as important and far-reaching to me as these seven years, and it even makes me more intoxicated.

I pushed open the familiar palace door and walked into the inner warm pavilion.

Maybe it's because the location is too remote, so there are no Liao generals living here. Otherwise, it would be difficult for me to obey Mr. Ge's repeated instructions not to kill people before taking action, so as not to arouse the vigilance of the Liao people.

The entrance is no longer the elegant and tidy appearance of the past.There was a mess on the ground.

I sighed, so I had no choice but to put down the sword, and turned over the corner screen of the ebony treasure house, and straightened the cabinet in the corner.The pale green silk draperies embroidered with silver magnolias were hung up again, and the dusty bedding was rearranged.

If she knew that I was doing the work that the little maid was in charge of in her palace, would she chuckle lightly, and then said coquettishly, "When did I add such a smart little maid again?"

It's just... I don't know if there is still a chance to let her know.

I lay down on this once familiar bed, put my sword beside the bed, and waited for the moment to strike, and continued to immerse myself in the endless memories.The scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air lingers in my nose...
