A few days ago, by chance, King Jiuyou took the time to order a glass room in the market to protect the pomegranate tree in front of the bedroom window from freezing to death.
Compared with locust trees and willows, which are easy to survive, fruit trees are indeed fragile, but few are frozen to death in the cold winter. This is common sense.
But that's not the point.
The key point is: when was there a pomegranate tree in front of the Fangjia bedroom where Xia Chuci now lives?
For the Fang family, the king of Jiuyou still knows: there are two Longhuai trees at the entrance of the alley. In addition to the grape rack above the stone table, there is only the small willow tree at the root of the west wall. Where is the pomegranate tree?
Moreover, King Jiuyou also knew that Pan Longyu had been to the Fang's house and repeatedly told them not to break the ground to avoid damaging Feng Shui -- especially at the birth gate in front of the Fangyuan bedroom window, which is actually a dead place, it can't break the ground easily. Even if it is planted, it won't survive.
But that's what Xia Chuci told Laura that day, and Laura immediately went to order the glass room.
After overhearing what they said, King Jiuyou wanted to see it for a long time, but later found that there were more strangers in King Tang, so she put it down for the time being.
Now those strangers have been driven away by her and Kunlun. They don't have to go out at night. They are more or less boring. After coming out of vice president Zhang's house, they want to go to Fang's house.
Of course, when she went, she would only look at the door: the broken house was so evil that she didn't dare to take a step at will.
Just after midnight, there was no pedestrian on the street except the occasional roaring vehicles.
The whole city, comforted by the night, slept soundly in the past.
In particular, after walking through the small bluestone bridge to the old city, even the light of the street lamps dimmed a lot. I couldn't hear anything except the sound of the water flowing in the Juye River on the left.
Darkness has never been a problem for the nine Youwang.
On the contrary, she also enjoys walking in the dark. After all, she has lived in this environment for more than 20 years and has long been used to it.
With a flash of fluorescence in his eyes, King Jiuyou saw the two Longhuai trees at the entrance of Fang's Hutong.
Under the dim light, two long Huai trees had long lost their leaves. The branches were like evil spirits rising from hell, which was very to the aesthetics of the ninth Youwang.
I don't know who tied a white ribbon to the Dragon locust tree in the east of the alley. It danced with the night wind and was very conspicuous, just like a reduced soul summoning flag. When dancing, there would be a touch of firefly, and I don't know what material it was made of.
King Jiuyou quickened her pace and soon came to the entrance of Fangjia Hutong -- she didn't turn right, but left, walked down the river embankment, came to the red brick path on the Bank of Juye River, looked back and walked west along the river.
On an autumn night two years ago, Fang Yuan took his donkey along the bank and walked West for a long time to the suburbs. After three years, he finally found his flower demon.
Now the road that King Jiuyou took was the one that Fangyuan had taken.
Even the stopping place is surprisingly consistent: on the slope of the river embankment, there is a big willow pier half a person high, on which the donkey once spilled a bubble of urine.
Of course, Jiuyou king didn't know this, otherwise she wouldn't sit on it, just like a homeless wild ghost.
She didn't open her eyes until a white shadow that looked more like a ghost floated gently from the West.
This is a charming woman wearing a white gauze dress and a pair of embroidered shoes under her feet in winter.
When the night wind blows and blows her gauze dress, you can see that there are no clothes inside, and you can smell an obvious smell of male and female love - Yanyin envoy.
This is a Yanyin envoy who has just fallen in love with a man.
When Chen Wan was dressed up late at the Spring Festival, she also looked like Chen Wan four years ago.
"Miss."
Yan Yin raised her hand and pressed down the pulled up gauze skirt. She bent over and bent her knees and gave King Jiuyou an ancient squatting ceremony. Her voice was a little hoarse. It seemed that it had something to do with her nightlife tonight.
The ninth Youwang frowned slightly and asked faintly, "what's important? Ask me to come here?"
Just as it was predicted that the king of nine yous would go to the entrance of Fang's Hutong tonight, envoy Yanyin tied a white ribbon on a Longhuai tree in advance: seeing this white ribbon, the king of nine yous had to come to this place.
"Madam, let me tell you two things."
When Yan Yin straightened up, the king of Jiuyou, sitting cross legged on the willow pier, had already stood on the ground and made the action she had just done.
The king of Jiuyou is not saluting the envoy of Yanyin, but because she will "read the imperial edict" to the king of Jiuyou instead of the highest leader in the world of Jiuyou.
Well, it's almost the imperial edict, but without those red tape, it's easier to understand.
"First of all, madam asked the young lady to leave the king of Tang and return to the Jiuyou world by tomorrow afternoon at the latest."
Yan Yin envoy, who took the place of his wife's proclamation, can not only hold his head high and accept the worship of the ninth Youwang, but also speak every word clearly with a high voice.
The nine Youwang's body trembled slightly, but he didn't speak and didn't raise his head.
When his wife's edict was not read out, if King Jiuyou raised his head and interrupted the envoy Yanyin, it would be a great disrespect to the supreme leader and should accept the punishment that ordinary people can't imagine.
Just imagine those famous heroes in history who "resisted orders but did not respect heroes": Yue Fei, who recalled 13 gold medals, died unjustly in the storm Pavilion; Yuan Chonghuan, who returned to Beijing to report on his work after nine imperial edicts, was tied to the Meridian Gate by Emperor Chongzhen and bitten off by thousands of people--
After reading the first imperial edict, he observed the gorgeous Yin envoy of the nine you king's reaction. After seeing that she didn't violate the meaning at all, a look of disappointment flashed in her eyes (she actually hoped that the nine you king would resist the Edict and don't respect it), and then said faintly: "the second thing is to kill the water shadow before leaving."
"Well, miss, these are the two things."
When she said this sentence, Yan Yin made her tone of voice become respectful again.
The king of Jiuyou didn't look up, but asked softly, "why do you want me to kill the water shadow?"
"The messenger didn't explain this to me."
Yan Yin shook her head.
"Then why did you call me back?"
King Jiuyou asked again.
"This --"
Yan Yin hesitated.
It seems that she knows why the lady called the king Jiuyou back, but she doesn't know whether to say it or not.
"I want to know."
The king of Jiuyou raised his head slowly, and his face was still calm, just like her ordinary appearance.
However, when she said these four words, there was a sharp rise in the fluorescence in her eyes, which betrayed her unwillingness in her heart and the anger that was about to go wild.
Yanyin made it clear why the young lady was unwilling and angry.
The world is so beautiful.
Compared with the Jiuyou world familiar to the young lady, this is definitely heaven -- even human blood is so delicious that she doesn't miss Shu.
The lady asked to recall the young lady is like asking a childe who is used to enjoying rich clothes and food to drag a stick to be a beggar. No one will be reconciled.
What if you don't want to?
Who dares to disobey his wife's orders?
After thinking of this, Yanyin made the corners of her mouth float a touch of schadenfreude, and decided to tell her the truth, so as to make her more painful: "Fangyuan, still alive."
When Yanyin envoy said the last word, the night wind blowing across the river suddenly made a loud cry. Unexpectedly, the branches of the poplar tree more than ten meters away in the West made a crisp click.
"Cough!"
Just when Yanyin subconsciously wanted to look back, King Jiuyou coughed heavily, and then asked in a astringent voice, "what are you talking about?"
"Madam has determined that Fang Yuan is still alive."
Seeing the nine Youwang's shocked face, she was always the only one who ordered her to follow the Yanyin envoy, and felt a cool taste.
No one can tell whether Fangyuan is dead or alive.
This is due to the fact that the old man who died last month is full of doubts all over the world, causing many people, even if there are 10000 reasons to believe that Fang Yuan can never survive in that situation... But no one can be sure that he is really dead until his body is seen or there is conclusive evidence to prove that he is indeed dead.
These people also include the king of Jiuyou.
But just as she waited slowly and her patience was almost exhausted, Yanyin envoy told her that Fangyuan was still alive.
Can she not be shocked?
In addition, it is more cold: the reason why she can set foot in the world from the Jiuyou world is to promote the two other shore flowers to bloom, and even hope to replace Xia Chuci and become the female flower of the other shore flowers.
Fang Yuan's death dashed the dream of the nine Youwang. Only with a fluke mentality (what if Fang Yuan didn't die) can he rest assured and Hibernate beside Xia Chuci.
Now, her luck has come true (she won't doubt that her wife will cheat her, and she knows that even if she cuts the gorgeous Yin envoy, she doesn't dare to falsely preach the imperial edict), but her wife wants to call her back to the Jiuyou world.
What does that mean?
It can only represent the wife's considerable dissatisfaction with the performance of Jiuyou king after her death, so she decided to recall her.
What kind of punishment will you suffer when you go back?
King Jiuyou didn't dare to think about it. He just felt cold in his heart. His cold teeth began to tremble. He stared at Yanyin envoy and asked, "if, if I don't go back?"
Yan Yin made me smile.
She especially liked to see the nine Youwang scared, which would make her get some satisfaction and spread her hands: "Miss, it's none of my business if you can't go back. I'm a messenger -- of course, you can kill me now as if you've never heard me say anything. "
Yan Yin restrained her smile and said coldly, "but I think no matter how you kill me, madam can find out afterwards, and will continue to send someone to inform you. Therefore, I hope you can think twice before you act, miss. Don't do indifferent stupid things, so as not to harm others and yourself. "
Yanyin envoy finished saying that, without waiting for the king Jiuyou to say anything, she put on her long gauze skirt and turned to the West.
She's right. Even if King Jiuyou pretended not to receive the order and killed her, his wife can find out later, so she's not afraid.
Nine Youwang Muran stood over there and watched her walk to the big poplar more than ten meters away, but suddenly said, "what if someone else killed you? Then I can pretend not to have received the order, and I don't have to worry about being investigated by my wife. "
Yan Yin made Wen Yan stop and turn around. She looked at the nine Youwang and giggled: "giggle, miss, you are so good at talking and laughing. Someone else killed me? I really can't think of anyone who dares to kill me except you. "
Before Yan Yin's voice fell, she heard a stammering female voice from behind: "I, I dare."
"Who!?"
Yan Yin was startled and suddenly looked back.
Then she saw a flash of lightning.
