Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 73

[Chapter 45 (2)]
, I thought that Cousin Yu would also accuse him like Grandpa, but I didn’t know that such a sentence came.
“Cousin Yu, don’t you tell me?”
“Why should I tell you? I want to teach Lu Zhaoan a lesson more than you.” Teng Yuyi smiled, “But have you ever thought about it, once you tell him that you did it, he is very likely Shake out the matter of Sister A. For him, this matter is nothing but an innocuous affair, but Sister A’s reputation has been ruined.”
Du Shaotang gritted his teeth and said, “I have already planned it… I ‘ll let him notice.”
“Very good.” Teng Yuyi nodded in relief, “You’re old, you know the plan and then move, but even if you succeed, so what? Be his great talent decently.”
Du Shaotang was stunned.
“To deal with this kind of person, it’s too cheap to beat him, at least let him get out of Chang’an.”
“Cousin Yu—”
Teng Yuyi got up and paced. The death of her cousin in her previous life was a thorn in her heart. She saw that the murderer who strangled his cousin in the bamboo forest that night was most likely Lu Zhaoan, otherwise, where would the man’s boot print beside the cousin’s body come from.
Moreover, according to her observation that day, when Lu Zhaoan was in distress, he ignored the life and death of his companions in order to escape.
She took something out of her sleeve and turned around and handed it to Du Shaotang: “Look.”
Du Shaotang unfolded the thing: “This is?”
“This is Lu Zhaoan’s whereabouts these days.” Teng Yuyi clicked on the names of several places on the cloth, “Follow In addition to our people, Lu Zhaoan’s people also include Lin Chengyou’s people. He should have found something, or he would have been evacuated long ago. We might as well wait patiently. If Lin Chengyou doesn’t write anything, it’s not too late for us to plan well. .”
Du Shaotang was both surprised and delighted: “I just assumed that Lin Chengyou didn’t care about this matter, but I never thought of going over to confirm it with my own eyes… If he is willing to make a move, Lu Zhaoan will definitely not be able to walk away. Cousin Yu, you are still thoughtful, I… I’m too reckless.”
Teng Yuyi thought to himself, no matter how cowardly Shaotang is, he is still bloody when it comes to elder sister. .
“You have to remember, to deal with such a traitorous villain, it is enough if you don’t make a move. As soon as you make a move, you have to hit the opponent’s key point. Otherwise, not only will you not be able to hurt the opponent, but you will only bring endless trouble to yourself.” Teng Yuyi said After seeing Du Shaotang stunned, he coughed, “It’s good that you know these nonsense, you don’t need to tell my uncle and aunt.”
Du Shaotang couldn’t help laughing, if these are also nonsense, then what Cousin Yu said on weekdays is not a sentence All false? In fact, he liked to get along with Cousin Yu since he was a child, but it was a pity that Cousin Yu thought he liked to cry and didn’t like to play with him.
“Cousin Yu, don’t worry, I’ve kept it in my heart.” Du Shaotang smiled. He already looked alike with his sister. With a smile, his beautiful brows and eyes widened, which was more pleasing to the eye than Cai Cai’s bitter appearance.
“If you’re fine in the past two days, you can gather around Lin Chengyou more. Apart from watching his attitude towards Lu Zhaoan, I have one more thing for you to do.” Teng Yuyi took out the Xiaoya sword, “Look, is this sword bleak? A lot?”
Taking advantage of the opportunity to talk about Lin Chengyou’s bathing soup, Du Shaotang’s mouth became wider and wider: “I…this…”
Teng Yuyi was even more embarrassed than Du Shaotang, but Xiaoya didn’t have much time left, so He bluffed and stared at Xingyuan’s eyes: “Why, don’t you have the heart to watch your cousin’s divine sword become a piece of junk?”
Du Shaotang’s brows and eyes were tangled again: “Of course not… but Lin Chengyou doesn’t live in Yequanxuan. , but live in Feiyi Pavilion with other royal children, I’m afraid it’s not easy for me to go in… hey… well… I’ll give it a try.”
Teng Yuyi coughed a few times: “Remember what my cousin taught you, the harder it is to do it. The more you have to be patient, the more you need to be patient, the more you have to wait for the opportunity.”
Du Shaotang raised her chest: “It must be done for my cousin.”
***The
dinner was delivered to each room by servants. As soon as the meal was finished, the steward came over to invite him, saying that Princess Changyi and Princess Azhi were here. They had already set up a bonfire outside the waterfall and invited the juniors. Go and play.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan resigned Mrs. Du and went to Puquan on their own. They came out to meet Zheng Shuangyin and others in the corridor on the second floor, and they walked together.
Teng Yuyi kept an eye on Du Shaotang’s figure as he walked, and then walked to the shade of flowers near the waterfall, when a person who looked like a palace maid came over and said, “Which one is Mrs. Teng? Princess Azhi has something to look for.” The
girls were surprised at each other . see.
Teng Yuyi looked at the palace maid carefully and confirmed that she was a servant of the Cheng Palace. Then she looked up and saw Du Shaotang standing under a willow tree. She winked at Shaotang calmly, and said to Du Tinglan, “Maybe it’s a question of poetry. I’ll come when I go to work in the company.” The
palace maid led Teng Yuyi around the flower garden, and the more she went in, the more secluded she became. Teng Yuyi knew that Duanfu was following her not far away, but she still took a glance The Xuanyin bell on the wrist, fortunately, with this thing, you can know in advance whether there is any evil in the vicinity.
Arriving in front of an exquisite mountain col, the palace maid said with a smile, “Miss Teng, here it is.”
After saying that, she bowed and stepped back without waiting for Teng Yuyi to ask more.
Teng Yuyi stopped and looked around, not even a single figure was seen around him. He listened carefully, and there was a small sound of water in front of him. He continued to walk in, and a fine mist of cold water rushed towards him.
It turned out that there was a clear water pool hidden not far in front of it, with a waterfall several feet wide flying straight down, and the shore was full of flowers.
Lin Chengyou sat idle on a rock beside the spring, as if he had been waiting for a while, when he heard the footsteps behind him, he threw the branches in his hands into the pool, turned his head and looked at Teng Yuyi, the jade pendant around his waist followed him. Movement, making a slight clanging sound.
Teng Yuyi looked at the white lotus seeds on his body, and secretly thanked that he had changed his dress in advance, otherwise the two would feel weird when they met at the moment.
“Sir.” She smiled and bowed.
Lin Chengyou was used to seeing Teng Yuyi wearing men’s clothes, and suddenly saw her wearing a graceful smoky purple high-cut skirt, which made her feel a little dazzling, he coughed: “If Madam Teng didn’t ask someone to send me a message, I would have forgotten to pay it back. There is a bunch of Xuanyin bells on you, you just ask me to give it to me, why ask me to meet?”
He had to make arrangements for this, which was quite troublesome.
Teng Yu said apologetically, “I don’t want to do this either. Look at you, Shizi, I can’t take this bell off.”
She walked towards him as she spoke, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the shimmering silver pool behind Lin Chengyou, her face changed instantly. His feet seemed to be stumbling, and he couldn’t move no matter what.
Lin Chengyou felt strange in her heart, her face was pale, and she looked frightened. Could it be that she saw something? Following her gaze and looking behind her, she saw nothing but water pools and flower bushes.
Teng Yuyi quickly regained her normal color, but she still didn’t dare to go forward, she just raised her snow-white wrist: “I can’t hide from the prince, since I came back from Caifeng Tower that night, I couldn’t take off the bell. I tried a lot. Fazi, the bell is getting tighter and tighter.”
Lin Chengyou secretly paid attention to her expression, seeing that her eyes were always avoiding the pool when she spoke, a thought suddenly popped into her mind: she must be afraid of water.
He looked at her wrist suspiciously, got up and walked towards her: “I really can’t take it off? Let me see.”
Teng Yuyi gently rolled down in front of Lin Chengyou, but the round bell seemed to grow in the flesh. Yes, I can’t get it down.
Lin Chengyou frowned, “Hey, it’s going to break if you keep pulling.”
Teng Yuyi said helplessly, “I’m afraid I’ll break the bell, so I have to ask someone to send a message to the prince.”
Lin Chengyou looked at her wrist, He had never heard of this thing, but he couldn’t take it off suddenly for no reason. He thought about it, took out a bottle of the thing and handed it to her: “Smear this on your wrist and try again.”
Teng Yu’s opinion was a bottle of potion, expecting that it would have a smoothing effect on the skin: “I tried the bath beans when I was in the mansion, but I still couldn’t get it out.”
Lin Chengyou raised his eyebrows: “This is not a bath . The beans are called reed bait. If you rub it on the magic weapon, the spiritual power of the magic weapon will disappear for a while. Although I can’t understand what Xuanyinling is doing, all Taoist treasures have some weird habits. Qingyunguan has been locked for all these years, who knows if it has raised an artifact, you should put it on first, by the way, did you bring a veil?”
“I did.” Teng Yuyi took out the veil.
At this time, she had already rubbed the potion on the bell and was about to try to remove it, but Lin Chengyou said to wait a moment, folded the handkerchief several times and handed it to her: “Tie the handkerchief around first.”
Teng Yu was confused. Right there, Yi Yan did it.
“Offended.” Lin Chengyou raised his hand to hold her wrist, Teng Yuyi was startled, and hurriedly pulled his hand back.
“Don’t move.” Lin Chengyou felt a little uncomfortable, “It’s useless to just smear the reed bait, you have to recite the spell.” That
was the case. Teng Yuyi coughed: “Understood! Shizi, please start.”
Lin Chengyou was originally very open, but when she said this, it seemed like he really wanted to do something to her.
He glanced at her: “What do you think I will do to you?”
Teng Yuyi wondered: “Of course not, I just…”
“It’s fine if I don’t, don’t think about it.”
Teng Yuyi choked, who is thinking?
Lin Chengyou instantly regained her normal color, and helped her to remove it through the veil. Fortunately, the veil was so thickly folded that her fingers could not feel the temperature of the opponent’s skin.
But although the bell was not slippery, it was still firmly on Teng Yuyi’s wrist.
Lin Chengyou recited the mantra upside down several times, but how could he know that it was completely useless.
“It’s weird.” The two said in unison.
Lin Chengyou let go of Teng Yuyi’s wrist: “Forget it, maybe there’s some reason, wait until I go back to check and then I’ll put this thing on you first.”
Teng Yuyi was stunned for a moment, just hoped that no evil spirits would come to her in the past few days, otherwise As soon as the bell rang on her side, Lin Chengyou would know immediately.
“By the way, this potion will damage Xuanyin Ling’s spiritual power if you apply it for a long time. You should go to the pool and wash the potion on the bell.”
Teng Yuyi did not rush to return the bottle of reed bait to Lin Chengyou, but opened it first The handkerchief on her wrist, seeing that the potion had penetrated into the texture, she didn’t look at the water pool over there, but said, “Okay, I’ll wash it when I go back.”
Lin Chengyou said, “It’s too late, the longer it drags on, the more damage it will damage the spirit. Li, let’s say this medicine is useless after washing it off, you still have to recite a mantra, otherwise if the thief steals this medicine and harms people, won’t all the instruments in the world fail, so even if you wash it off, you have to unravel the mantra again. ”
Teng Yuyi frowned, she didn’t even dare to approach the water pool, how could she go to the water pool to twist the veil. But Lin Chengyou only saved her life not long ago, and these bells were put on for her to guard against corpse evil. If her spiritual power was damaged because of her, it would be too inauthentic.
Looking up at Lin Chengyou, seeing that he didn’t seem to be lying, her doubts were relieved. She has always had a clear sense of grievance and grievance. Although she was scared to death, she nodded and said, “Okay. Wait a minute, Shizi, I’ll go wash right away. .”
As he said, he walked towards the water pool, telling himself as he walked, there was nothing to be afraid of just a small water pool, but after walking a few steps, his legs trembled uncontrollably.
In a cold sweat, she thought, if the previous life drowning was hidden, and she only said that she fell into the water on the way to Chang’an and left behind the problem of being afraid of water, Lin Chengyou probably wouldn’t be suspicious, but this is not the way to go, why not take this opportunity to solve this problem changed.
Lin Chengyou looked at Teng Yuyi’s back with complicated eyes. He guessed right. She was really afraid of water. In fact, because of her intelligence, if she really didn’t want to wash the veil, she didn’t have to worry about finding excuses, and suddenly thought of her and Juesheng that night. When she was trapped by the corpse evil, she may have pity Jue Sheng’s young age, or out of loyalty, she actually risked her life to save Jue Sheng.
And since the night she passed Caifenglou, she seemed to be a lot friendlier to him. At this moment, she thought he was treating him as a savior, so she was willing to embarrass herself and not play tricks in front of him…
tsk, he actually felt that Such Teng Yuyi is a bit cute.
Teng Yuyi finally moved another two steps, but her face was getting worse and worse. At this time, Lin Chengyou suddenly walked over and took the veil from her hand.
Teng Yuyi was surprised.
Lin Chengyou squatted by the pool and twisted it, got up and handed her the wet handkerchief: “Are you afraid of water?”
Teng Yuyi came back to his senses, took the wet handkerchief and carefully wiped the potion on the bell, and said gratefully: ” I came to Chang’an a while ago and fell into the water, and now I am horrified when I see the water.”
She thought to herself, Lin Chengyou saw that she was afraid of water, but did not deliberately make things difficult for her. It can be seen that although this person is arrogant and reasonable, she He suddenly changed his mind and tried to say: “Last time, most of Juesheng and Qizhi’s magic instruments had hidden spirits. I didn’t believe it at first, but according to today’s situation, it seems that even Xuanyinling has a temper, and I heard that some magic instruments It needs to be worshipped with human bath soup, I don’t know if this is true?”
“Bath soup?” Lin Chengyou snorted, “Dharma tools like clean things, why would they use bath soup to worship? , I haven’t even heard of it in the “Wuji Baojian” which specifically records Taoist treasures. Maybe someone made a crooked idea and deliberately used these words to bluff you.”
Teng Yuyi closed his mouth tightly, there was indeed someone In making a crooked idea, this person is her. Originally wanted to discuss with him, but seeing Lin Chengyou’s sneering attitude, it is estimated that even if she broke her throat, he would never give her the bath soup.
Because of a string of Xuanyin bells, the two of them can’t be involved anymore. In case Lin Chengyou mistakenly thinks she is coveting him…
Besides, even if he finally believes what she said, how private the bath soup is, and hand it over to a small person. Anyone who knows a woman will feel ashamed, embarrassed, and annoyed…
If Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi accidentally find out, should she still be a person in front of them? Therefore, not only can’t you openly ask Lin Chengyou for it, but you have to do it without knowing it.
Lin Chengyou went to the pool and twisted the veil again and came back. He looked at her suspiciously: “What are you thinking?” Teng Yuyi
smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I came out. I’m worried that my cousin is looking for me.”
He folded his two fingers and recited the mantra in a low voice.
The bell lit up in a blink of an eye, and Teng Yuyi’s white wrist became more and more translucent.
Lin Chengyou remembered the bell ringing stone in his arms, no matter how unlucky Teng Yuyi was, there was no reason to encounter evil spirits one after another. He put this thing on him for the time being, so he didn’t have to worry about making noises at night.
“Okay. Just walk along the way you came, someone will lead you out.”
“Yeah.” Teng Yuyi nodded at Lin Chengyou, and after walking two steps, it seemed that she remembered the reed bait in her hand, so she turned around quickly, “I forgot to give it back to the prince.”
Unexpectedly, she stumbled and fell directly towards Lin Chengyou. She was shocked and desperately defended the bottle of reed bait in her hand, but she threw a small fist-sized bait out of her sleeve because she was too hard. Something happened to hit Lin Chengyou’s leg.
It was a sack of rouge-colored juice, and even if Lin Chengyou dodged in time, it still splashed all over his body.
Both of them were stunned, Lin Chengyou looked down at the embarrassed clothes, was silent for a long time, shook the juice on his sleeves, and said lightly: “Ms. Teng hasn’t practiced kung fu much these days, her skills are still so bad. For the first time,
Teng Yuyi felt guilty for plotting against Lin Chengyou, but who told Xiaoya to wait for the bath soup, she handed the intact reed bait to Lin Chengyou, and kicked the sharp stone under her feet angrily: “Because this stone I stumbled… Shizi, I’m really sorry, I really didn’t mean to—”
“That’s all.” Lin Chengyou said angrily, in fact, he could have avoided it, but he hesitated because he saw the sharp stones under his feet, Teng Yuyi She may not fall down if she is stable enough in the next set, but once she falls to the ground, these sharp stones are enough for her.
He shoved the reed bait into his arms without saying a word, and unexpectedly smelled the aroma of sweet wine in the air.
He took a sniff, and his face became even more ugly: “Don’t tell me it’s Pu Tao wine…”
Teng Yuyi nodded: “I’m afraid the prince’s clothes…”
This wine is sweet and sticky. After washing the residual alcohol soaked on the skin, no matter how many new clothes you put on, it will be sticky.
Lin Chengyou smiled: “Teng Yuyi, it’s really yours. It’s okay to carry hidden poisons with you, but you also carry Pu Tao wine with you.”
He glared at her and walked in the other direction.
Teng Yuyi watched him leave with guilt. Fortunately, Lin Chengyou didn’t get suspicious this time, but she wouldn’t dare to guarantee it again. She only hoped that Shaotang would succeed once, so that nothing could go wrong.
After a while, the palace maid appeared again and led Teng Yuyi along the way she came.
Before arriving at the flower garden, the princes and ladies of the various prefectures were already full of seats.
Lin Chengyou arranged it perfectly. As soon as Teng Yuyi walked over, Princess Azhi came from the other side. The two appeared almost at the same time, as if they had an appointment together.
Du Tinglan was afraid that Lin Chengyou would embarrass Teng Yuyi under the pretense of Princess Azhi’s name, so he had been waiting at the same place. Later, Shaotang came to tell her that cousin Yu had other arrangements, and asked Du Tinglan to return to the table to wait. Du Tinglan entered the table anxiously, but he was never at ease. At this moment, seeing Teng Yuyi appear, his hanging heart fell to the ground.
The seats were already very lively, but a few seats were vacant, as if they were waiting for someone. Only after inquiring did I find out that there were several female relatives of Jiedu envoys from other places who were still on their way to Royal Suchuan because they had just arrived in Chang’an. The feast will officially start when these people arrive.
While chatting with her cousin, Teng Yuyi looked towards the road.
It didn’t take long for Shaotang to come. Instead of going to the men’s seat, he went straight to Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan and sat down. Everyone didn’t take it seriously. First, Du Shaotang was still young, and secondly, everyone knew that he was the younger brother of the two.
Du Shaotang’s hands trembled slightly, and quietly handed a bamboo tube-like object to Teng Yuyi, and said happily and nervously, “Cousin Yu’s arrangement is foolproof, Duanfu’s skill is even more remarkable, and the thing has been taken smoothly.”
Teng Yuyi was overjoyed: ” Good.”
She secretly touched the hilt of the sword in her sleeve and told Xiaoya to rest assured, but after a while, she felt something arched up in her sleeve, Xiaoya seemed to be impatient to hold the bamboo tube and smell it, but it was quiet, and Xiaoya flew quickly Write on her arm.
“No! It’s dirty with other people’s bath soup. It’s dirty, so I can’t take it!”
Teng Yuyi was stunned. Feiyi Pavilion only lives in the royal family. What kind of identity is Lin Chengyou? If he wants to bathe, he must be a new servant. Burnt bath soup.
But Xiao Ya didn’t want to be angry at this juncture, she asked Du Shaotang in a low voice: “Shaotang, are you sure this is Lin Chengyou’s bath soup?”
Du Shaotang put down the wine glass in surprise: “Yes, as soon as I saw Lin Chengyou entering the hot spring pool Just tell Duanfu.”
Teng Yuyi was surprised, Feiyi Pavilion actually has a hot spring pool? ! The water in the hot spring pools circulated with each other, and there was no such thing as one pool.
Du Shaotang said anxiously, “Although the hot spring pool is big, Lin Chengyou was the only one who went in at that time. Isn’t it possible?”
Judging from Xiaoya’s reaction, it might not be possible. Teng Yu thought for a moment, comforting Du Shaotang and said, “You can do it. Very good. There are a lot of heroes from all sides tonight, you can go to the men’s seat, remember that you must be able to hide things in your heart, and don’t feel guilty when you meet Lin Chengyou.”
Du Shaotang did not expect that he would be a big help as soon as he made his move . , has long been encouraged, nodded happily, got up and strode to the men’s seat.
Du Tinglan grabbed Teng Yuyi’s sleeve: “What the hell are you and Shaotang doing?”
Teng Yuyi told Du Tinglan the reason, Xiaoya suddenly stroked Teng Yuyi’s arm a few times hard: Come!
Teng Yuyi looked up and saw that a group of noble sons happened to be coming. Lin Chengyou walked at the end, surrounded by a large group of Gaoliang’s children.
Lin Chengyou changed into a new bamboo-blue robe, and his temples were still wet. He glanced in Teng Yuyi’s direction while joking, and quickly turned his head away. Teng Yuyi’s eyelids jumped. Be suspicious.
In order to force Teng Yuyi to think again, Xiaoya kept pushing her arm. Teng Yuyi helplessly wrote on the hilt: I said, can you change someone?
Xiao Ya seemed to be annoyed by this, not only refused to answer, but stomped a few times on Teng Yuyi’s arm, but after only two steps, he fell weakly.
Teng Yuyi became more and more uneasy, and Xiao Ya’s spiritual power was obviously disappearing rapidly.
She patiently coaxed him: If he is not good, I can think of others.
After waiting for an unknown amount of time, I felt that Xiaoya gently wrote a word: Chun.
King of Chun’an?
Xiaoya seems to have compromised: his bath soup is not as good as those of the three, but he can make use of it.
Teng Yuyi bit her head and looked with her eyes, and saw the Prince of Chun’an in Baocuiting not far away.
The Prince of Chun’an was sitting cross-legged on the banquet in the pavilion, and in front of him was a lacquered violin. .
There are also many literati and elegant scholars in the pavilion, sitting or lying down, or reciting poetry or drinking tea, all of which are pleasant and romantic.
In the veranda outside the pavilion, there were several noble ladies, who seemed to be strolling, but their eyes swept to the Prince of Chun’an in the pavilion from time to time.
Teng Yuyi was pounding in his heart. After the wine feast was over, the Prince of Chun’an would have to take a shower and change his clothes. It was a big deal to steal the bath soup in the same way, but if Lin Chengyou was really suspicious, it would be tantamount to throwing himself in the net again.
No, Shaotang and Duanfu can no longer be allowed to take risks.
Moreover, if the Duke of Chun’an also went to the hot spring pool to bathe like Lin Chengyou, wouldn’t they steal it again for nothing?
After thinking about it, the best way at the moment is to ask Grandpa to ask for a bath soup from Prince Chun’an. The Prince of Chun’an County is a humble person, and he is expected to talk a lot better than Lin Chengyou, not to mention that the grandfather has a good relationship with the Prince of Chun’an County.
With the thought together, Teng Yuyi hurriedly ordered Biluo to send a message to Grandpa. Grandpa told her in the morning that he would rush back to Chang’an overnight, hoping that he would be able to go there in time.
Biluo came back but said that the master had left.
“Huo Qiu said that the master left behind most of the guards before leaving, and asked them to take care of his wife these few days… The master left after dinner, and the father-in-law took a few uncles and sent them to the villa in person.”
Teng Yuyi frowned . When he got up, Xiao Ya, the little old man, didn’t say that the bath soup of the king of Chun’an could be used. What should I do now, do I need to ask my uncle to come forward? But compared to grandpa, uncle is obviously much more troublesome. Looking down at his sleeve, Xiaoya has been lying motionless for a long time. I’m really afraid that he won’t survive tonight.
She thought about it anxiously, and got up with Biluo and Chunrong.
Du Tinglan was surprised: “What are you going to do?”
Teng Yuyi whispered: “It’s because of this sword, Xiaoya is dying, I have to go to find my aunt for a favor as soon as possible.”
Du Tinglan also got up: “I will accompany you.”
Teng Yuyi shook his head: “The two sisters are too eye-catching from Xixi, and my sister stays behind to help me cover up, and I will not be too far away from me. I will go back when I go.”
Lin Chengyou thought about what happened just now, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong he felt. , Although he was having fun and laughing with the people around him, his eyes occasionally glanced at Teng Yuyi and Du Shaotang on the opposite side.
Suddenly, he found that Teng Yuyi was looking forward inquiringly.
