Between the vast sea of ​​clouds

Chapter 111 Tian Yuan

The water splashed, and the wooden barrel was full of river water and was pulled up from the river with great difficulty.The girl sat by the river and wiped the sweat from her brow, then walked towards the white tent with a wooden bucket.

The tent was like a small snow mountain, shining dazzlingly in the sun. It was a tarpaulin made of Hailing sheep's wool twisted into threads and then woven into a huge cloth.This kind of creature that lives above the snow line is alert and sensitive. It is good at climbing rocks. It is covered in snow-white and light long hair, which is impenetrable by rain and snow. It almost blends with the surrounding snow scene and is extremely difficult to capture.In Xirong, it is also something that is hard to buy, and usually only the nobles can afford it.I don’t know how much Hailing sheep’s wool was consumed and how many artisans gathered to weave this huge tent. It stands on the autumn grassland, making people feel peaceful and holy in their hearts just by looking at it from afar.

She approached a corner of the tent, bent down and opened the tent door, first pushed the bucket in, and then climbed into the tent carefully.

The tent is opaque, and there are two completely opposite worlds from the outside.There are hundreds of lamps on the lamp stand, and the bean-sized flames illuminate the furnishings in the tent. The exotic wool felt is hung on the wall, and on the altar is a statue made of pure white jade.One side of the idol's face was bathed in light, while the other half was submerged in darkness, and it was vaguely discernible that it was a woman.She lowered her head, as if she was looking at the people under the altar, with strange handprints in her hands, both hands were empty.

The girl crawled to the altar full of fear, and there was a person lying there with her eyes closed, and her face was illuminated by the dim oil lamp. At first glance, she was somewhat similar to the statue on the altar. The girl hesitated for a moment, and used The water in the barrel wet the veil and wiped her face.

She frowned slightly, as if she hadn't slept well.After the girl wiped her face, she helped her undo the braids again. Something flashed in the braids, and she touched them. It turned out to be hair strands woven with golden threads. Into many finely divided gemstones.After finishing all this, she knelt down on the carpet and performed a few long-life rituals with great sincerity, before climbing out of the tent silently pushing the bucket.

The person behind her moved his eyelids slightly, opened a slit of trembling eyelashes, and then slowly closed them again.

The girl was fetching water again, but there was a man standing by the river, looking at the flock of sheep in the distance. Those sheep were walking on the grassland, like a group of moving white clouds.The girl put down the bucket and saluted. The man was wearing a moon-white robe and a circle of complicated and gorgeous gemstone headdresses on his head. If you look closely, you can find that those complicated patterns are actually different legends. The gods in the stories are all different. Embellish with jewels.The visitor's eyes are ice blue, and in the sunlight, it looks like a blue ice lake on a snow mountain, shining magnificently like jewels.She whispered: "Master Bi Shu."

Bi Shu moved his eyes, stared at her, and asked, "Are you going in to serve A Yuelai today?"

The girl said in trepidation, "Yes."

"Is she awake?" Bi Shu asked.

The girl thought about it seriously, and replied: "Master Ah Yuelai has not woken up."

Bi Shu smiled, flung her sleeves and walked into the tent. She first took a dish from the cabinet by the door, then bowed to the altar, took a lamp and sat under the altar, and wiped something from the dish. , and wiped it on the face of the sleeping person.

"I know you can't wake up." She tapped the bright red paint between the man's eyebrows, and she moved down the bridge of her nose, and suddenly her hands froze.

The dancing flames illuminated the man's wet eyelashes, Bi Shu rubbed his fingertips, feeling a little helpless.She thought for a while, and then finished speaking: "You don't want to wake up, do you, Ah Yuelai?"

Bi Shu's fingertips were covered in red paint, staining her hands like blood, but she picked up the copper bell indifferently, shook it lightly, and closed her eyes to recite scriptures silently.

However, she didn't wait for a reply. There was silence in the tent, and the statue on the altar was peaceful and quiet, with warm eyebrows immersed in the darkness, unspeakable.

The autumn rain in Chang'an has just passed, and it has been clear for less than half a month. The morning air seems to be filled with moist water vapor. The cornice glazed tiles reveal a corner in the morning mist, coated with the light of the morning sun, and the floating white mist embellishes the palace like a fairy palace. As illusory.

A pawn fell on the chessboard, Chu Jun looked at the chessboard, smiled slightly and said, "Miss Huang, you lost again."

With a click, the white chess in Chu's hand fell on the board and rolled to the outside. Her lips were pale and her eye sockets were sunken. It was obvious that she hadn't rested for many days. Her chest was heaving and the hatred in her eyes was even worse.

"Hahahaha..." She raised her head and smiled, her hand holding the edge of the chessboard trembled slightly, trying to get back the sunspots on the board, but her hand trembled so badly that she couldn't pick it up, "I don't believe me will lose!"

The corner of Chu Jun's mouth curled up, and he stood by.Chu Yan suddenly overturned the chessboard with force, stood up and staggered a few steps, pointed at her and said, "So you have already arranged it! Let me fight with Chu Ming, and finally profit from it, and advance as retreat. A good move!"

Chu Jun picked up the chessboard, Othello fell on the clean marble floor, a black chess spun a few times and landed at the intersection of the gap, Chu Jun said: "What is the emperor talking about, why can't I understand?"

She made a gesture of invitation and said: "Please sit down, what I said counts. If Miss Huang can beat me today, I will let you out of the palace."

Chu Yan tried his best to suppress his fear, and sat back on the side of the table.Immediately, a palace servant came over to pick up the scattered chess pieces and put them back in the chess cage. During the whole process, there was almost no sound. The palace servant's thin red veil hurt her eyes, her lips trembled, and she seemed to understand in a trance. What came over.Chu Jun took out the chess pieces from the chess cage, saw her eyes were glazed, and her figure was crumbling. It took a long time for Chu Jun to understand and said: "You have already arranged everything, haven't you?"

"...There have been people like you in this palace for a long time, no, not only in the palace..." She took out a chess piece, and muttered to herself: "The previous dynasty, The middle palace, the harem.......It’s really a big hand. When did you start to arrange these? You are so confident in that position, you think you can make all the officials obey, and the six states and eighteen counties submit Is it?"

The white chess landed on Tian Yuan, Chu Jun lowered his eyes, the morning sun was like water, and the golden and red rays of light poured into the window bars, the shadow of the wooden frame supporting the window just fell on the chessboard, dividing the chessboard into two halves diagonally, Chu Jun lightly Shaking her head, the Suzaku pattern on the purple royal robe showed extremely dazzling patterns, she said: "Sister Huang, please."

The white chess that landed in the middle of the chessboard is like a lonely soldier, with aloofness and courage, sitting on his throne with disdain.

Chu Yan was silent for a long time before stretching out his hand, the sunspot fell, and there seemed to be wind and clouds flowing in the plate, which disturbed the birds perched on the osmanthus tree outside the window.

Although it was only three sticks of kung fu, Chu Yan felt that it was a lifetime, and a game of chess could determine the rest of a person's life. She tried her best to fight, but the result was still the same. The chess piece was stained with sweat and almost slipped down.

Chu Jun got up slowly, the afternoon sun was shining on the stone steps outside the main hall, the vermilion pillars were scattered and elegant, the sky was clear and clear, and a bell could be heard faintly from nowhere, she said: "Sister Huang, what are you doing again?" lost."

Chu Xun knew that the overall situation was settled, so she sat down on the edge of the chessboard and watched the endgame. Although she was defeated, she still straightened up and asked, "Aren't you afraid of revenge from Chu Ming's remnant party when you act so boldly?" You have put in a lot of painstaking efforts in the mutual market, so is it so easy to give it up to others?"

After losing for several days, her thoughts suddenly became clear. Now that she has lost, why not find a way out for herself. There are countless people who come back. Could it be that Chu Jun's strategy is so powerful that he can prevent it for a lifetime?

So it was rare for her to show weakness, and said: "If you want that position, there are some people in my hands—"

"Sister Huang, you may not understand one thing." Chu Jun smiled and said: "Those are nothing, the mutual market can be re-established if it is gone, as long as the mother emperor is still there, Chu Ming's people will not be able to make a difference."

"These are not the most important things." There was even a kind of pity and sympathy in her voice, mixed with a joking tone, all revealing the certainty of winning.

"How can I do one thing without people noticing? Sister Huang, what do you think is the closest to the exchange market?" Chu Jun actually sat back on the chessboard and took out a black chess piece from the chess cage in front of Chu Yu. Outside the white chess, said: "Yun CE Army."

She said leisurely: "I am here for the military power, for the Yunce Twelfth Army. Speaking of which, I need to thank Huang Jie for sending me to Yunzhou, which can be regarded as doing me a big favor."

Chu Yan nodded with difficulty, finally connecting the missing link in the past.Chu Jun went to play another chess piece and said, "There are many things that Huangjie doesn't understand very well, it's okay, after thinking about it carefully, you will be able to think clearly."

Chu Yan grabbed her hand and said with trembling lips, "You, what are you going to do to me?"

Chu Jun stood up, looked down at her terrified expression, and said in a low voice: "Now the government and the public know that it was you who first sent people to spread rumors in Beijing, causing Chu Ming to rebel; It's a pity that the empress, who deserves the pity of the heavens, struggled to wake up and imprisoned you in the palace for a while... Huangjie, what do you think?"

Chu Yan looked like a mad dog, and said angrily: "You are talking nonsense! I don't believe it, this is all your poisonous scheme! Naturally, someone will know what you did today, Chu Zhu, just wait!"

Chu Jun said lightly: "Thank you for your compliment, sister Huang, you should have used it on me, shouldn't you?"

The jade crown on Chu Yu's head rolled down, his hair was scattered and draped over his shoulders, his appearance was completely ruined, and he didn't look like he used to be superior.Chu Jun stared at the scenery outside the window, and said: "Put the elder sister's death on me, and then poison the Queen Mother to frame me, then you can stand up and push everything to me in front of the courtiers. ..."

Chu Jun looked back at her: "That would be a legitimate way to ascend the throne, and it's a good strategy."

Chu Yan fell on the table in a state of embarrassment, suddenly laughed, and said, "I should have listened to my husband and got rid of you as soon as possible..."

Chu Jun flicked her finger lightly, a chess piece flew out and hit the table, and then fell back on the board, making a crisp sound, she said: "There is no one who can shake a defeated general."

The author has something to say: Sleepy, go to bed early everyone, good night.
