Chapter 17 The solitary king of the secret room hates deception the most in his life(1/2)
Chen Xing said: "This is the arrangement of fate. If you don't want to be a guardian, you can't help but think about it. Look? Now it's just a coincidence. I'm destined to follow me to investigate this matter... You, you... what are you going to do?! Try hitting me again?"
Xiang Shu stood up, and Chen Xing immediately stepped back, thinking that the rabbit would bite people if it was anxious, but Xiang Shu did not threaten him. When he walked in front, he turned his head and glanced at Chen Xing.
"The Lonely King hates deception the most in his life," Xiang Shu said coldly, "As long as you don't deceive, you can save your life."
When he heard the word "Lonely King", Chen Xing suddenly realized a serious problem that he had never paid attention to before. Xiang Shu's identity was the Great Shanyu, that is, the king of the northern border, and was theoretically on par with Fu Jian, the co-lord of the Central Plains. Perhaps it was the habit that the two of them had developed along the way. Chen Xing never regarded Xiang Shu as the Great Shanyu's fault, nor did he pay attention to his words like in front of Fu Jian. Now that I think about it, this guy is also a decisive person.
But Chen Xing couldn't help but ask for a word.
"If you hit me again, wait for me to find my magic power..." Chen Xing said angrily, "I will definitely take revenge, I will kill you when the time comes!" As he said that, he immediately stepped back a little, prepared Xiang Shu to take action, and ran back to the Imperial Study room with a loud shout, and moved Fu Jian to help him.
"I'll wait." Xiang Shu said coldly, waiting for Chen Xing to follow, frowned and said, "Why don't you leave?"
Chen Xing was confused for a moment, and then came to his senses. Xiang Shu wanted to investigate the matter of the Exorcist Division, so he followed him from a distance. Xiang Shu turned out of the garden and arrived in front of a temple.
"The Great Chanyu arrived." The gatekeeper hurriedly reported to the inside.
This is Princess Qinghe's bedroom. Princess Qinghe was sitting lazily, with several Xianbei girls beside her, who were all beautiful and thought they were all daughters of the Xianbei noble family. When they saw Xiang Shu, the girls immediately laughed and stood up to greet them.
"The Great Shanyu!"
"Don't be foolish," said Princess Qinghe with a smile, "Sit down for me, Da Shanyu likes men."
Xiang Shu: "..."
Chen Xing glanced at Xiang Shu with suspicion: "Oh? Is it true?"
Princess Qinghe explained to her left and right again: "Have you heard about the marriage proposal a few days ago?"
Xiang Shu took a deep breath and had to talk about this with Princess Qinghe, otherwise he would only get darker and darker, saying in a deep voice: "Where is the person?"
Princess Qinghe said, "Call over here, Da Shanyu sits and drinks tea first, Tianchi will serve you Da Shanyu."
Chen Xing had no choice but to sit down and pour tea for Xiang Shu. Princess Qinghe said again: "Tianchi?"
Chen Xing always felt that this group of Hu people were joking, and liked to tease him if he had nothing to do. He was full of vigilance towards Princess Qinghe, and he didn't know the purpose of Xiang Shu here. Perhaps it was to ask Qinghe to help find someone and assist them in the investigation.
"Yes." Chen Xing replied.
Princess Qinghe smiled and said, "Have you agreed to the marriage mentioned by Your Majesty?"
Chen Xing said calmly: "No agreement."
Princess Qinghe said again: "Oh? Why? Don't mind, we Xianbei people are so direct."
The girls laughed again and looked at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing twitched his lips and replied, "No feelings."
Princess Qinghe said again: "Can relationship be cultivated slowly."
Chen Xing replied: "Then you have to wait until you have cultivated it and then talk about marriage."
Chen Xing can now accept the marriage of the two men quite calmly, thinking that he can only use other excuses to block the words of this group of lawless Hu people who have broken rituals and music.
Another girl smiled at Qinghe and said, "He has already had someone. Brother Yan should not count on me. I will definitely marry the Great Shanyu, right?"
The girl was speaking Xianbei dialect. Chen Xing had learned it from Yuwen Xin before and could understand it all, but in this scene, he had to pretend that he couldn't understand it, and it was difficult to see Xiang Shu's expression.
Princess Qinghe also replied to the girl in Xianbei dialect: "It's okay to marry two together. If he wants to be able to take the position of Wang Meng, marry Da Shanyu first, and then Yan'er..."
Chen Xing: “…”
"Enough." Xiang Shu finally couldn't stand it anymore.
At this time, someone finally came outside, but Chen Xing heard a familiar voice.
"Feng Qianjun, a wise man, pay homage to Princess Qinghe."
Chen Xing: "!!!"
Chen Xing turned his head immediately, but Xiang Shu just glanced out the door. He saw Feng Qianjun standing outside the threshold, not daring to come in, and bowed a little, and then stood with his hands. Chen Xing almost stopped knowing him when he saw him, just because Feng Qianjun changed his clothes today, changed his usual style, wore a black lacquer crown, and also had his eyebrows. He took off his sword, his face was like a jade-like face, and he was handsome.
Chen Xing almost called out Brother Feng, but was stopped by Xiang Shu with a look.
"The Great Shanyu has something to come to you," Princess Qinghe smiled casually, "Come in."
"Borrow a step to speak." Xiang Shu stood up and said, "I'll leave now."
Princess Qinghe did not stop him, but said, "Your Majesty will wait for you to have supper in the evening and come back early."
Xiang Shu knew that trouble was coming when he heard this. Since he entered the palace, Fu Jian refused to mention the matter of Zijuan Jinsu, and only asked him to rest well. Xiang Shu did not speak on his own initiative. Now, Fu Jian must have been unable to hold back and finally asked him for Zijuan.
Chen Xing and Xiang Shu got up and went out. Feng Qianjun looked up again and glanced into the hall. Chen Xing suddenly realized that Feng Qianjun's eyes were actually a little lonely.
"Brother Feng?" Chen Xing whispered.
Feng Qianjun nodded and left the palace with Chen Xing and Xiang Shu. None of the three of them spoke for a while. Chen Xing thought in his mind and looked at Xiang Shu, unable to guess his motives. He even wondered why Feng Qianjun knew Princess Qinghe, and was full of suspicion. When he reached a place outside the palace, a carriage was waiting.
Feng Qianjun took the initiative to say, "I heard about what happened last night. I know you two are fine. Today I was about to ask someone to go to the palace to inquire, but the Great Shanyu first told me to come in."
Chen Xing looked at Feng Qianjun and then looked at Xiang Shu. Xiang Shu still had an unfathomable expression without any clues. He had to ask Feng Qianjun: "Brother Feng, do you actually know Princess Qinghe?"
Feng Qianjun explained: "In addition to operating a money shop, the Feng family occasionally provides rare things to the royal world. They came to Chang'an seven years ago and met her by chance. Since you asked me to come, I will say forgave me..."
Xiang Shu interrupted Feng Qianjun and said, "It was my fault that I couldn't save your coachman last night."
Feng Qianjun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The coachman has been buried with a rich man and has been given a heavy golden hair. Of course, no one wants to do this."
When Chen Xing heard that Xiang Shu was in charge of the life and death of the coachman, he changed his mind slightly.
"After getting in the car," Feng Qianjun signaled, "Go to Songbai Residence?"
Chen Xing: "This carriage is too small..."
Feng Qianjun: "I don't know you're both here, forget it, just make do with it and squeeze it first..."
The carriage where Feng Qianjun was sitting was very narrow. As soon as the three of them got up, Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun had long legs, and they were so crowded that they could not move. Xiang Shu's nose and lips were pressed against Chen Xing's side face, and Feng Qianjun's arm was against Chen Xing's waist. Chen Xing could only sit halfway on one of the thighs contributed by Xiang Shu and Feng Qianjun.
Xiang Shu still did not answer. When he came to the last secret door, he used all the keys, and there was only one compass in the center.
"This is called Lu Fanglu," Chen Xing thought for a while and said, "I learned it in the middle of the master's sect. It is a kind of mechanism technique. When Feng Qianyi brought me in last night, he thought I knew nothing about it. In fact, by listening to the sound, you can identify the key to unlocking the heavenly stems and earthly branches. There are many boxes in the master's sect, all of which are used for this kind of compass..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Xiang Shu pressed Chen Xing's neck and pressed him to the compass, "opening the lock."
Chen Xing: “…”
For a moment, the room was silent, except for the sound of the compass rotating. Chen Xing recalled Feng Qianyi's rotation last night and tried to meet the direction of the heavenly stems and earthly branches engraved on the compass.
"Xiang Shu?" Chen Xing asked. The white light in his hand only illuminated a small part on the compass. Both of them were invisible in the darkness.
Xiang Shu: "?"
Chen Xing: "You are clearly called Shulukong, why do you say that your surname is Xiang? And why do you call it "Xiangshu" and not "Xiangkong"?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Xiang Shu said indifferently.
Chen Xing only felt that Xiang Shu had too many mysteries. Why did he care so much about "Bo"? Although when we met again in Longzhongshan, Xiang Shu's answer to this was just "messing others", it seemed that it was not like meddling others. Even the reason for tracing the village was massacred by Ba was not very reasonable.
In an instant, Chen Xing stopped moving.
Xiang Shu: "Continue."
Chen Xing stood up straight, thought for a while, and said, "Wait, Xiang Shu, I have a condition."
"Do you dare to make a condition with me?" Xiang Shu held Chen Xing's shoulder with his fingers on both hands, and Chen Xing suddenly felt sore and weak, and hurriedly said: "I don't mean that! Let go! Listen to my explanation!"
"I felt a resentment behind the door." Chen Xing was almost certain. The last time he entered the bottom of the warehouse was not an illusion, but it was true. He said, "I doubt there is a seal under the ground. Although I don't know why it was involved with Feng Qianyi, it is very likely that he was also affected by this resentment..."
"Stop talking nonsense, talk about the key points!" Xiang Shu said again.
"The underground secret warehouse of the General Administration of the Exorcist Department... don't do it! After listening!" Chen Xing said, "There may be some seal. This kind of thing cannot be solved by fighting alone."
Xiang Shu replied: "Yes, listen to you."
Chen Xing also said: "Although I don't know much about how to deal with it, you need to serve as my guardian during this period. The most important thing is to protect my safety. You must believe me wholeheartedly and listen to me without reservation in order to deal with danger."
Xiang Shu mocked: "Didn't you claim to be lucky for always being very good?"
Chen Xing said again: "I don't know where I provoked you. What do you think of me?"
Xiang Shu: "You didn't provoke me, and I have no objection to you."
Chen Xing: "Then let's talk calmly. Is it difficult for you to be my guardian? As long as you are willing, the power of the heart lamp is far more than this effect. You also saw its function when you were in Longzhongshan. The book says that exorcists and guardians can only exert the strongest power when they entrust each other's lives."
Xiang Shu: "Are you using this to threaten me? Open the door!"
Chen Xing: "Of course not! I'm just afraid there is something difficult to deal with inside."
Xiang Shu was silent for a long time. When Chen Xing turned to see him, Xiang Shu finally said, "Yes."
"Woon!Woon!"
"Wow!" Chen Xing was shocked by the sudden sound. When he turned around, he saw Feng Qianjun holding a little local dog: "Huh? Why are you here?"
Feng Qianjun said: "It smells you on me and follows you all the way."
That was exactly what Chen Xing picked up from the road when they arrived in Chang'an and entrusted it to Feng Qianjun for the dog. It really didn't see him for a few days, and the puppy only shook his tail happily at Chen Xing.
Chen Xing hugged it and touched its head. He was almost scared and his heart jumped out of his throat and asked, "Brother Feng, when did you come?"
Feng Qianjun: "When you ask the Great Shanyu to listen to you with all his heart and without reservation."
Xiang Shu obviously knew that Feng Qianjun had come in long ago. Although Feng Qianjun's footsteps were light, he could not hide it from such a master as Xiang Shu. Chen Xing said: "I have unlocked the lock, so I will open the door."
