The Villainous Classmate is my Lucky Star - Chapter 80
A few miles south of the hill, there is a remote town with a large population.
There is only one way from Chaoge to Xuanlin Palace, but the people in the small town drove another way in April, which happened to lead to Xuanlin Palace. Chi Jingxi stopped when passing by the town and sent someone to inquire about some news.
The people who came back said, “According to the people in the town, those mountain roads were still good years ago, but I don’t know which day after the new year it suddenly collapsed, but because there is the way to the palace, there will be occasional government offices. People patrol, so ordinary people are not allowed to stay, so no one knows the cause of the collapse.”
After hearing Yantong, I only felt at a loss. Although she also felt it was unusual, she couldn’t think of the problem. It is not impossible that the mountain collapsed due to blizzard.
But looking at Chi Jingxi’s look, it was obvious that he had other doubts, and she was not good at asking directly.
Chi Jingxi thought for a while, and then ordered someone to inform the government about the matter, and send someone to check the cause of the collapse of the mountain road as soon as possible and clear the road.
The group of people went to the palace from another road. Although it took some time in the middle, they arrived before dark anyway.
When Wen Yantong got out of the carriage, the western sky was covered with red clouds, spreading most of the sky. Xunyang Mountain is not a high mountain, but standing on top and looking into the distance, you will still be shocked by the scenery in front of you.
Xuanlin Palace is very vast, with pavilions and pavilions sitting together, rockery and wooden bridges in clusters, covering an area comparable to dozens of Wen’s houses. At a glance, you can see the white wall and Daiwa’s palace, where the guards and the servants are guarded all year round.
The emperor was very fond of Mu Yuan, so he made an exception to lend the palace to Mu Yang to live for a few days.
The carriage stopped at the main entrance of the palace, and rows of people stood in front of the door, saluting Chi Jingxi, while Cheng Xin arrived at the palace a step earlier and greeted him outside when he heard the movement.
The courtyard in the palace is distinct, and the yard on the east side has the best terrain. It is the place where the emperor lived every time he came to the palace. And Mu Yang and Chi Jingxi and the group lived in the courtyard to the south. There were three pavilions in the courtyard, and there were seven or eight rooms in the main hall and side halls. It is enough for a few people to live in one courtyard.
Cheng Xin was thoughtful, thinking that a few people would be hungry when they arrived in the carriage for so long, so he ordered people to prepare meals in advance. Not long after the group was seated, the dishes were brought up one by one.
Mu Yang gobbled it up, and there was no time to say more. Fu Zixian was always elegant, and the chopsticks and bowls couldn’t make any noise.
Wen Yantong saw it in his eyes, and only felt that if there is a father, there must be a son, it is true at all. Mu Yang had the feeling of being a big boss in Mu Yuan, his actions were bluffing, his thoughts were simple and his purpose was straightforward. Fu Zixian has perfectly inherited Fu Sheng’s literary spirit. It seems that his writing is weak and deceptive, but his eyes are filled with elusive wisdom.
Chi Jingxi also has a three-point look like Master Hou, but when he is young, he expresses some emotions more directly. Unlike Chi Shu, he is already a fine old fox.
While a few people were eating, Cheng Xin was holding a cup of hot tea and drinking, smiling and saying to Mu Yang, “The group of beauties that General Mu found for you has already been placed in the side hall. When would you go to see it?”
Mu Yang gnawed at the chicken legs and stared, “What? Why did they get there so fast?”
“I went to the palace before dawn.” Cheng Xin said, “They were already waiting here when I came, and they were still chatting about which one you would choose.”
“I don’t know how to choose any one!” Mu Yang snorted heavily, “My father is trying to set me a chain, I’m not stupid!”
Wen Yantong couldn’t help but said, “Then you always want to marry a wife and have children.”
Mu Yang said, “Even if I want to marry, I will marry the woman I love, and I will only marry one, so I won’t be like my father. All my children can only have one mother!”
The others on the table were stunned at the same time.
Wen Yantong’s eyes lit up, and when he heard these words, he was very moved. Unexpectedly, Mu Yang was stunned and would have such thoughts! This is really commendable in the official house of three wives and four concubines.
She was happy to put a chicken leg for Mu Yang, “You are too right, come, eat more.”
Mu Yang still disliked it, “I can do it myself.”
Wen Yantong was very happy at the moment, and he happily talked to Mu Yang, “Then what if the girl you fall in love with is not in line with your family? Will your father let you marry a poor girl in?”
As soon as the voice fell, Chi Jingxi’s chopsticks stopped and looked at her.
“My father won’t care about those.” Mu Yang’s mouth was filled with meat, vaguely said.
“What if he cares?” Wen Yantong asked.
Mu Yang thought for a while, and then said, “Then I will give her some money to make her a rich girl.”
Wen Yantong thought for a while, it seemed that the same was true, so he stopped asking more, bowed his head and ate his own meal.
Chi Jingxi had stopped his chopsticks, picked up the teapot next to him, poured a cup of hot tea, and gently placed it on his left hand, close to Wen Yantong’s right hand. Cheng Xin has always been careful, and he noticed his small movements all at once.
Just when he wanted to talk, Chi Jingxi asked, “Yang Er, are you going to go to the hot spring tonight?”
Mu Yang nodded, “It’s right tonight, and I will be able to sleep well after soaking.”
Wen Yantong felt a headache when he heard him talk about it. She didn’t know what reason Chi Jingxi would find to help her escape. If it didn’t work, she pretended to have a pain in her leg, saying that it was a pain left over from being hit by a carriage. .
After a meal, it was dark, and the palace was full of lanterns. At first glance, the lanterns and festoons were very beautiful.
Several people went back to the house to pack up, change clothes and prepare to go to the hot springs. When Wen Yantong went back, he fell directly on the soft couch. He didn’t do anything on weekdays. There were people waiting for him to eat and dress, and he had to raise his lazy bones.
How can she get such treatment before she wears the book?
Not long after lying down, someone knocked on the door outside. After Moli opened the door, it was Chi Jingxi who walked in.
Moli went out with a wink, and brought the door to him by the way.
Wen Yantong sat up, stretched his waist and asked, “Why doesn’t Master Xiaohou tidy up and go to the hot spring?”
Chi Jingxi did not answer her question, but said, “Are you full?”
Wen Yantong said, “Naturally I am full, I have eaten a lot.”
He stepped up to the soft couch and seemed to have something to say, but he didn’t say anything. Wen Yantong couldn’t hold back at first, and asked, “Does Xiaohouye want to say something to me?”
Chi Jingxi sat down next to her, her handsome face still calm, but her voice softened, “I suspect that the palace is not safe.”
Wen Yantong was taken aback, and then whispered softly, “What do you mean by this?”
He pondered for a moment, and then said, “The collapse of the mountain road shouldn’t be accidental. Someone deliberately broke the road to Xuanlin’s palace.”
Wen Yantong was clear, “Then why didn’t the other road be broken at the same time?”
“The landslide happened around the year, and the other road was opened in April. There was a lot of time in between. If they attacked the road that was built, it would expose their purpose of preventing people from coming to the palace.” Chi Jingxi Said calmly, “So there may be people hiding around the palace.”
Wen Yantong was a little scared, “Who would it be?”
Chi Jingxi was still guessing, so he didn’t make a direct conclusion. He was afraid that his words would frighten Wen Yantong, so his voice softened, “There are many guards in the palace, they should not dare to come in directly.”
Wen Yantong said, “That’s not necessarily, what if you encounter that kind of staggered bandit?”
However, after finishing talking, she also felt strange that the mountain bandit near Chaoge was originally on the mountain of Mu Yuan. Since Mu Yuan has taken refuge in the government, the neighborhood should be gone. Who is so bold and brave to be a mountain bandit here?
Seeing her thinking about it, Chi Jingxi reached out and patted her forehead, “Don’t think too much, I came to ask you, can I go to my house to sleep at night?”
Wen Yantong was dumbfounded, “Huh?”
This kind of invitation… she can’t hold it!
But Chi Jingxi was serious and said, “Although I guess those people dare not go directly to the palace, but just in case. Yang Er said at night that he would sleep with Fu Zixian, with Fu Zixian for protection, and Qianyuan with court guards. , You alone have no protection.”
Wen Yantong immediately raised his hands and said, “Let’s sleep together at night, I will sleep in your room, and I will feel at ease with Xiaohouye.”
Chi Jingxi curled her lips and smiled, and then she couldn’t help but reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, and said, “Then I’ll go first, or Yang Er will wait in a hurry.”
Wen Yantong nodded and said obediently, “Then I will wait for you to come back.”
After hearing this sentence, Chi Jingxi smiled unclearly, then turned and left.
Wen Yantong asked people to boil water when they left to go to the hot springs and took a hot bath. After washing comfortably, Wen Yantong planned to go out and walk around the roads at the door. There are many guards in the small courtyard, and there is one guard every two steps, so she is not afraid of someone coming.
As soon as she walked out the door, she heard the sound of the piano. She walked away looking for the sound, and saw a group of girls in concubine dresses dancing in the open space in front of the more partial house, seeming to be rehearsing the dance.
Wen Yantong was afraid of disturbing them, so he didn’t approach, and stood and watched. She counted them carefully and found that Mu Yuan was really generous, sending a full seventeen girls away, and she was really not afraid of Mu Yang indulging in wine.
Wen Yantong thought, if she had this kind of father who taught her son, she would probably be choking people all the time.
If it were Chi Jingxi, she would definitely not teach her children like this. He is clean and self-contained, behaves well, and is very serious about what he does, which can be seen from his excellence in all aspects. If he becomes a father, he must be the best role model for the children.
Thinking about it, Wen Yantong couldn’t help his face getting hot, and secretly said that he was thinking too far.
After standing outside and watching for a while, she turned back to the house, wrapped in a quilt and waited for them to return from the hot spring.
During the period, I still took a dazed nap for a while. Until Moli knocked on the door, shouting Wen Yantong to the main hall in the small courtyard.
Wen Yantong was wrapped in a light-colored robe and rubbed his sleepy eyes. After entering the main hall, he found that several teenagers were already seated, talking and laughing to each other.
When Mu Yang saw her, he yelled, “If you cut the sole of your foot, say it early. I thought you didn’t want to participate in my birthday banquet on purpose!”
Wen Yantong was stunned for a moment, and then reacted very quickly that this was the reason Chi Jingxi had found for her, so he smiled and said, “I thought it was almost done, so I didn’t come out and say it.”
Mu Yang worried, “Does it hurt to walk?”
Wen Yantong shook his head, “It’s much better, as long as you don’t soak in the water.”
Mu Yang curled his lips again, disgustingly said, “Then you haven’t washed your feet in many days, stay away from me.”
Wen Yantong wanted to give Mu Yang a mallet twice, but the dog thief couldn’t say anything nice.
She sat next to Chi Jingxi and asked in a low voice, “Master Xiaohou, is the hot spring comfortable?”
Chi Jingxi’s skin was so white that it was almost reflective, her eyes were slightly curved, and she whispered back, “You’ll know if you try it next time.”
It was obviously normal, but Wen Yantong was inexplicably irritated, and the roots of his ears were a little red.
When the two were whispering, strings sounded outside the door, and it turned out that it was the girls who walked in slowly holding the pipa in line.
There was a moment of silence in the hall, Wen Yantong also raised his eyes and looked at him, only to think that these girls are all beautiful, even if they are not amazing, but they are also very attractive, especially the figure is very good.
But soon, Wen Yantong found that something was wrong.
She looked at these girls back and forth, and found out the reason for something wrong.
There are only sixteen girls in the temple, where did one go?
