At night, there was another heavy snowfall. At dawn, the yard was covered with snow. The ice under the eaves dropped one by one, like an ice sword, crystal clear.
Today, the three children opened the quilt early in the morning, wearing a thin bedclothes and hopping on the bed.
It's nice to be a carefree age.
Qiao Wei came over in her coat: "why is it so early today?"
Jingyun always gets up early. It's no surprise that brother Liu and Wangshu are two lazy cops who refuse to get up. But it seems that they wake up first today?
"It's Chinese New Year today!" Wang Shu said with a jump.
If she didn't mention it, Qiao Wei almost forgot about it. After carefully calculating the date, it seems that today It's really new year's Eve.
This is her It's the third new year's Eve since I came here.
The first new year's Eve was also here. Jing Yun and Wang Shu were seriously ill and had no way to seek medical treatment everywhere. Fortunately, Ming Xiu, who had not yet known each other at that time, took them in and spent a peaceful year in siheyuan. The second new year's Eve was in Yinzu. Unexpectedly, the third one came so soon.
Recalling those things, it's almost like what happened yesterday. It's as if she was walking on the street with her two hot children, and it's as if she was still on the Tana island for two years.
The two little glutinous rice balls, which could only hold her thighs at first, both grew --
"mother!" Wang Shu rushed into Qiao Wei's arms in a sweat.
Qiao Wei was hit with a smile, spitting out a bunch of her hair in her mouth, and silently smoked the corners of her mouth. She was so fat
Wang Shu hugged Qiao Wei's neck, opened her red mouth and said crisply, "Mom, are we going home today?"
"Back "Home?" Qiao Wei was stunned.
Wang Shu blinked his eyes and said, "brother Liu said it's new year's day. We're all going home!"
Liu elder brother son Ba Ba son ground looked to come over, and Qiao Wei looked at each other, Shua of low head, small hand is holding a cape.
To be honest, after such a big accident, her mother and the ghost king are not sure whether they are alive or dead. Yunzhu's life is on the line, and the ghost emperor is missing. She really didn't think that today is new year's Eve and she would have to go back to Ji's home today.
Jingyun and Wangshu follow her around with Mingxiu. The place where they have parents is home, but brother Liu is different. He grew up in Ji's family, so he didn't leave there very much. In the Spring Festival, he naturally wants to go home.
After being out for so long, the child is homesick.
But just now she was so stunned that the child keenly realized that she didn't have this plan, and he thought he had said something wrong.
Qiao Wei pinched Liu Ge'er's small face and said with a smile, "I'll go and tell your elder brother how to arrange it."
……
Ji Mingxiu didn't rest in the courtyard last night. Qiao Wei didn't know what he was busy with. He didn't come back until dawn. When he came back, he sat in the study and looked through the materials.
Qiao Wei went into the room and told him about her return to Ji's house At least send some children back for the old lady to see. If you can't go, I'll take them. I'll meet you at Princess mausoleum later. "
At the moment, every second spent outside, Yunzhu and Helan Qing, ghost king will be more dangerous, so Qiaowei does not ask Ji Mingxiu to go with him.
But Ji Mingxiu, after listening to her, said, "it's just that I have something to do with Ji's family. Let's get together."
Qiao Wei calls Fu Xueyan to go back to Ji's home with her three children and the new-born little Muyan.
Mrs. Ji and Ji Shangqing are very happy. When Jingyun and Wangshu were taken away, Mrs. Ji fainted on the spot. Although she woke up afterwards, she was depressed and didn't want to have a meal. It was not until the people of shaxue League came to pick up brother Liu that the Ji family knew that they had found both children. But brother Liu was going to be taken out, and let Mrs. Ji and Ji Shangqing bear the burden I'm worried.
Fortunately, they all came back safe and sound!
Not only that, but also a little guy.
Xiaomuyan is already full moon, much older than when she was born, but still smaller than her peers. She lies in her infancy and doesn't cry or make noise. She opens up a pair of innocent eyes and turns around like black grapes, as if looking at something curiously.
Old lady Ji hugged her and looked at her soft and cute little appearance. She was so excited that she wiped her tears.
Ji Shangqing called the leader to the study and gave him a severe reprimand. He said, "if you really like others, you should come first. Our Ji family doesn't care about family status. Even if her family is broken, I can't promise you as long as you like. How can you destroy the innocence of the girl's family".
The LORD looked up at the sky: "isn't Ji Mingxiu like this? You have the ability to teach him
Ji Shangqing choked on the spot.
Old lady Ji hugged Xiao Muyan and then went to hug the other three great grandchildren. What she worried most was Liu Ge'er, who was weak and sick. She hugged him and said with a smile, "it hurts my hands. I've got meat!"
Later, she hugged Jingyun again, which was heavier than before. She said with a smile: "Jingyun has grown too!"Wang Shu jumped over and said with a smile, "great grandmother!"
Mrs. Ji hugged her and did not move. She mumbled vaguely: "you Why are you so young? "
Xiao Wangshu, who has grown two catties, is lying across the street
Ji Wan also got the news and came with Lin Shuyan.
The elder sister is like a mother. Princess Zhaoming is gone. Don't the two younger brothers work for her to be the elder sister?
Ji Wan liked Fu Xueyan as soon as she saw him.
Fu Xueyan's life is like a concubine to other wealthy families. But Ji Wan knows that her brother erlengzi is lucky to sleep with such a beautiful and smart wife, OK?
What's more, the girl hasn't said whether to marry or not!
Luomeiyuan is full of warm laughter, and the snow is floating outside.
Ji Mingxiu and Qiao Wei go to Ji's forbidden area together. This time, they come to Ji's forbidden area openly. Qiao Wei reveals the keepsake Ji Shangqing gave her and releases the guard who guards the forbidden area.
They entered the stone room, bypassed the armory and came to the "library" where all kinds of ancient books and records were stored.
Qiao Wei picked up a pamphlet and said, "why do you want to come here?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "I wonder how my mother found the underground palace at the beginning. Did she find it by herself, or did her ancestors have found it, and what clues were left for my mother to encounter."
Qiao Wei seems to have an epiphany: "yes, the underground palace has been buried for so many years. It doesn't mean that you can find it if you find it Do you suspect that the clue is in Ji's forbidden area? "
Jijiazu was the last priest thousands of years ago. He predicted the end of the Apocalypse Dynasty. It was after he predicted that yeluo royal family started to build the underground palace. He can predict the end of the imperial dynasty. Can't he predict that yeluo built the underground palace privately?
In fact, there's no need to use divination. With his understanding of yeluo royal family, you can guess it.
He may have found the location of the underground palace long ago, so he built Ji's family near the underground palace.
Ji Mingxiu looked at a room of brochures and said with emotion: "the dragon spirit of the underground palace nourishes this city and makes it the capital of Daliang. It not only protects the city, but also the whole Daliang."
Qiao Wei doesn't believe in Feng Shui. She says, "superstition."
Ji Mingxiu ordered her forehead, no longer talking with her, turned around and searched carefully in a pile of books.
Qiao Wei can barely understand yeluo dialect now, but she can't recognize yeluo words, so she can only give him a hand.
After a while in the library, Ji Mingxiu found a bamboo slip in a small box.
Some of the bamboo slips are rotten, and some of the handwriting can be recognized.
Ji Mingxiu carefully spread the bamboo slips on the desk that had been cleaned by Qiao Wei. Looking at the spotless desk, he was stunned for a moment. Then he turned his head and looked at the room that had been cleaned up like a new room. He couldn't help being slightly stunned.
Qiao Wei said with a smile: "I If you have nothing to do, just pick it up. "
Ji Ming said: "hard work."
Qiao Wei smiles, looks at the bamboo slip and says, "what's written on it? Do you have any clues about the underground palace? "
"Yes." Ji Mingxiu nodded, "it's recorded that the last priest investigated the underground palace. If he really found the underground palace, not only that, he also went in."
Qiao Wei was surprised and said, "is there a clue? The princess also saw this clue to find the underground palace? Anyway, how did the last priest get in? Has he got all four keys? "
Ji Mingxiu shook his head: "no, he went in through the path."
Qiao Wei is a Zheng again: "underground palace still has path?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "the underground palace was built secretly by the yeluo royal family, in order to leave a hope for the restoration of the country for the heirs. No matter what, people in the world can't know about it, so those who built the underground palace will eventually be buried with it."
Qiao Wei said, "it's so cruel."
Ji Mingxiu said: "not everyone is willing to die. Some craftsmen who don't want to die quietly build an escape passage for themselves while building the underground palace. It is this passage that the priest found that he entered the underground palace."
Qiaowei thought: "well What's in the underground palace? "
Ji Mingxiu looked at the second half of the broken bamboo slips and said with regret, "I don't know. It's broken. I can't see clearly."
Qiaowei touched her chin: "how to get to the passageway? Does it say that?"
Ji Mingxiu stopped to live.
Qiao Wei Ba Ba son ground looks at him: "did not say?"
Ji Ming Xiu Dun, quietly said: "said."
"How?" Qiao Wei opened her eyes wide and looked at the broken bamboo slips, "there is no map."
Ji Mingxiu untied the water bag, found a brush, dipped it in water, and drew on the floor: "it's written on it, I'll show you."
Qiao Wei stares at the floor for a moment, but in a moment, a map written by the prime minister vividly appears on the cold floor.Ji Mingxiu pointed to the map and said, "this is the underground palace, this is the princess mausoleum, this is Ji's family, this is the imperial palace."
"Judging from the map, Ji's house is not far from the underground palace."
The straight-line distance is not far. It's just that the city is built, with streets and houses. The distance to Princess mausoleum is not very close.
But the princess mausoleum was only built at the gate of the underground palace. The underground palace is "vast", and it has almost extended to the princess mansion of Ji's family.
Qiao Wei's eyes stare: "Princess mansion? Is Princess mansion the entrance to that passage? "
Ji Mingxiu shook his head: "no, the entrance is inside and outside the east gate of the palace. It is because there is a passage here that the Dragon Gas of the underground palace is leaked. The place where the Dragon gas is most concentrated becomes the location of the palace."
Qiao Wei small mouth son a pie: "again."
Ji Mingxiu said with a smile: "do you remember the terrain of Yunzhong city?"
Qiao Wei's eyes turned: "I remember."
I remember.
Ji Mingxiu could not see through it. He said to her patiently, "manghuang mountain is like a dragon. Yeliang city is on the top of the dragon head, which is an excellent place for geomantic omen. Unexpectedly, Yunzhong city and manghuang mountain form a situation of dragon playing with beads. Beads on the top of the dragon head severely suppress the luck of Yeliang City, so the luck of the holy religion is better than yeluo."
Qiaowei murmured: "isn't it because the holy religion is too cunning?"
Ji Mingxiu nodded and said, "it's true that you are cunning. When you first chose to build Yunzhong city there, you just wanted to suppress Ye Luo's luck."
Qiao Wei looked up at the sky and said, "I only believe that man can conquer nature."
Ji Mingxiu murmured thoughtfully: "man will conquer heaven..."
……
In the afternoon, Qiao Wei went to Princess mausoleum, while Ji Mingxiu went to the palace.
The attack on Princess mausoleum infuriated the emperor. The emperor had ordered the whole capital to be sealed off. Let alone a cloud, even a fly was not allowed to be released.
The assassin should not have escaped from the capital.
It's just that the capital is so big and the assassin is so cunning that it's not easy to find him.
When the emperor was in a mess, the eunuch sent a message to Ji Mingxiu, who asked to see him.
The emperor said anxiously, "it's just the right time. Announce it quickly!"
Ji Mingxiu meets the emperor in the imperial study, and confesses everything about yeluo and yunzhongcheng to the emperor.
After hearing this, the emperor began to smoke his eyelids You mean The night Luo king is also let a person use, all is that surname cloud dry? "
Ji Ming said: "it can be said that."
Thinking of what, the emperor asked in a deep voice: "is Rong Fei also a saint?"
Ji Mingxiu said: "Rong Fei is Yao Jun's confidant, and Yun Su is Yao Jun's Godmaster. What they do has nothing to do with Yun su."
The emperor touched the top of his head as if there were still green clouds on his head. The corner of his mouth lashed out: "bastard, don't let me catch him! I must have skinned him alive! What about Zhaoming's body? "
Ji Mingxiu said truthfully: "the body is still in Yunsu's hands. The most urgent thing is to enter the underground palace quickly. Zhuoma and the ghost king can't last long, so does grandma."
The emperor closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "I see."
……
That afternoon, Ji Mingxiu went to the east gate of the palace with the emperor.
"Is it here?" The emperor stood in the east gate and asked.
Ji Mingxiu made a visual inspection of the distance between the inside and outside of the door, and said uncertainly, "dig on both sides."
After a pause, he said, "it's better not to let the wind out of this matter. If Yunsu knows that we have found our way into the underground palace, he will try his best to destroy it. Grandma's injury can't stand the delay."
"I understand." The emperor called a team of imperial guards and issued a command to them. If they dare to spread today's story, they will be killed.
In addition, the emperor declared that the East Gate needed to be repaired, so that everyone could bypass the east gate and go to the other three gates.
As for the gate of Dongda, a heavy guard was sent to keep no one close to it.
The garrison didn't know what had happened. Only the 20 people who stayed to dig a hole knew that the emperor had listened to the prime minister's words and looked for something called dragon vein in the field.
There were four people in one pit, two outside the east gate and three inside the east gate. The imperial guards were busy digging, but they dug eight or nine deep pits in the evening, but they didn't dig anything satisfactory to the prime minister.
Standing at the bottom of the three meter deep pit, an Imperial Guard dishevelled and asked, "do you want to dig, my lord?"
Ji Mingxiu squatted down, pinched the earth on the ground and said, "you have a meal first. After you finish eating, you can dig in another place!"
The imperial dining room prepared the food early and brought the food boxes to the people.
"I'll go to the toilet!" Just now that digs the pit the Imperial Guard to put down the bowl chopsticks, maliciously went to the back mountain cottage.
A eunuch, who was delivering vegetables, blinked in his eyes and quietly followed.Half a quarter of an hour later, a royal came out of the mountain. He coldly hooked his lips, squatted down, grabbed a handful of mud, and put it on his beautiful face. Then, he wiped the blood on his helmet with snow and put it on his head.
