Chapter 676: Seven-Five-Nine: The Great Elder Betrothed You to Me
Nalan Yi was silent. Although he didn't want to admit it, the talent of that beast could be said to be the best among his peers back then, and no one in the Poison King Valley could match it.
Now that more than ten years have passed, it’s hard to say how far it has grown.
"Don't worry, Great Elder, I'm sure of it." Nalan Yiren said confidently after pondering for a while.
The great elder stroked his beard, turned to look at Chen Mo aside, and said softly: "Let King Wei see the joke."
"where."
"Please take a seat." The great elder raised his hand to motion to the stone bench in the lower courtyard, and then said to Nalan Yiren: "Iren, please come into the room and wait. I have something to say to King Wei."
Nalan Yi really wanted to hear what the elder and Chen Mo had to say, but the elder wouldn't let her listen, and since she respected the elder more, she obediently walked into the room and waited.
Although Chen Mo didn't know what the elder wanted to say to him, he was used to seeing big scenes and he didn't have stage fright. He came to sit on the stone bench under the camphor tree in the courtyard with a humble and polite expression.
The great elder sat opposite Chen Mo. There were teapots and teacups on the table. The great elder lifted the teapot and poured a cup for Chen Mo, who took it with both hands.
The Great Elder raised his eyes and looked at it, then smiled: "I would like to introduce myself first. My surname is Si. I am the Great Elder of Poison King Valley."
"Mr. Si." Chen Mo raised his hand and raised the tea cup: "Chen Mo."
"The name of King Wei is very familiar to me. I have heard of King Wei's name when I was in Baiyue. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I am really a talented person and well-deserved." said the Great Elder Si Song.
"Mr. Si, you're welcome. It's just a small fuss." He looked at the window of the house not far away. Although the window was closed, he could feel a pair of eyes looking at him.
Si Song looked out of the courtyard and said with a smile: "During the Xuanhe years, disasters were everywhere in the Song Dynasty, wars were frequent, and the people were in dire straits. But now the world is stable, the people are safe, and there is peace and security. This is no small matter."
"I didn't expect Mr. Si to know me so well, Da Song."
"I just know a little bit. I can find the whereabouts of that beast this time, thanks to King Wei. If he can avenge such a great revenge, King Wei will be my great benefactor in the Poison King Valley." Si Song replaced the wine with tea and said A toast to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo took his eyes back from the house and said, "It's just mutual help and mutual benefit."
Si Song shook his head: "A few beauty pills, can't we talk about mutual help and mutual benefit?"
"How many?" Chen Mo was stunned.
"?"
Si Song was puzzled, and immediately took out a palm-sized delicate wooden box from his sleeve robe, placed it on the stone table, and pushed it in front of Chen Mo: "This is the Evergreen Pill, which can prolong life, even for the elderly who are seriously ill. , and it can hold its breath for up to two years.”
Chen Mo was startled. The elixir for increasing life expectancy. You must know that the beauty elixir given by Nalan Yi only delays aging and beautifies the skin. It does not increase life span.
Chen Mo thought for a moment, pushed the wooden box back, and said: "Mr. Si, this gift is too valuable, I can't accept it. Regarding Tang Yichen, I have already accepted the fifty pieces of beauty gift given by Miss Nalan." The elixir is the reward, but the evergreen elixir is not included in the reward.”
"Fifty pieces?" Si Song was stunned and said subconsciously: "But Yiren said he only gave three pieces."
When the words came to his lips, Si Song seemed to realize something. The number of fifty beauty pills was a bit too much, but there was no need to hide it at all. However, Yi Ren said that he only gave three pills. As a person who has been here before, he couldn't help but look towards the house. He glanced in his direction, and then looked at Chen Molai seriously.
After the film meeting, Si Song stroked his beard, with a kind smile like an elder on his face, and soon started chatting with Chen Mo about home affairs.
Especially what happened when Nalanyi was a child.
Chen Mo also learned why Nalan Yiren's skin is so white.
This is related to the poisonous skills practiced by the Nalanyi people.
It stands to reason that the Poison King Valley's Poison Technique must be practiced after the age of ten to have the least impact on the body. However, in order to avenge his grandfather, Nalanyi began to practice it as soon as possible in order to avenge his grandfather and improve his strength as soon as possible.
The way to practice this poison skill is to eat poison, let the poison bite, soak in the poison bath, and train your body into a poisonous body. However, the Nalanyi people practiced it too early, which caused the body to change.
Before entering the realm of supernatural powers, the skin could not even see the sun. After breaking through to the realm of supernatural powers, it was not affected anymore. However, after being in that fear of the sun for a long time, the body has become accustomed to it. Even if it is no longer affected, but standing there There will still be a physical discomfort when exposed to the sun.
"No wonder."
Chen Mo nodded and then asked curiously: "So is this the reason why Miss Nalan wears a mask all day long?"
"That's not it."
Si Song took a sip of tea and chuckled: "She started wearing it after she became an adult. Because after adulthood, both men and women will start talking about marriage, and Yiren is no exception. The elders in the valley, including me, every Every once in a while, he would recommend some young talents to her, but she didn’t know whether it was because she was tired of recommending them, or because the Valley Master’s departure made her realize the importance of strength, so from that moment on, she put on a mask and I swear that only the person who defeats her and takes off his mask can be her husband."
Chen Mo: "..."
Seeing Chen Mo's expression suddenly dull, Si Song raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, did the King of Wei take off Yi Ren's mask?"
"No." Chen Mo quickly waved his hand. He didn't take it off. Nalan Yiren took it off on his own initiative.
But since she took it off on her own initiative, it doesn't seem to have violated the vow she made.
Si Song blinked his eyes and said nothing, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long silence, Si Song suddenly said: "What does the King of Wei think of Yiren's coughing?"
At this point, Si Song started coughing violently again.
Before Chen Mo spoke, he had been observing Nalan Yiren outside the house. Seeing that the elder had started coughing violently again, he hurried out of the house to check on the elder's condition.
...
After leaving the house where Si Song rented, Chen Mo and Nalan Yiren walked to the street together.
Both of them were silent.
It was Chen Mo who broke the silence first: "Is Mr. Si okay?"
"Not very good." Nalan Yiren shook her head.
Seeing that the atmosphere was about to become awkward again, Chen Mo looked at her scratched hand and said, "How is your hand?"
Nalan Yiren did not speak, but just raised her palm to show Chen Mo.
The scabs on the wounds had fallen off, and only the traces of the injury could be vaguely seen. I am afraid that by the evening at most, these traces would probably not be visible.
"Is this also the effect of the poison skill?" Chen Mo asked.
"Not all." Nalan Yiren changed the subject: "What did the elder talk to you about just now?"
Chen Mo stopped and looked at Nalan Yiren's half face that was not covered by the mask, and said seriously: "Mr. Si told me some embarrassing things about your childhood, and said that you are old and have become an old girl. He was worried that you would not be able to get married, so he betrothed you to me."
Hearing this, Nalan Yiren also stopped, turned around, and looked straight into Chen Mo's eyes.
Chen Mo was very uncomfortable with her look, and smiled: "Why, you don't believe it?"
"I don't like to make this joke."
"You can see this."
"Boring."
...
The next day.
It was bright.
Liang Ji took a carriage out of the palace, and Emperor Yong'an came to greet her.
Liang Ji did not get out of the carriage to salute, but lifted the curtain of the carriage window and met Emperor Yong'an.
Liang Ji's belly was already big, but Emperor Yong'an couldn't stretch his neck to look closer. Through the window, Emperor Yong'an couldn't see Liang Ji's bulging belly.
After a few simple words, he watched Liang Ji leave the palace.
Outside the palace, there were soldiers arranged by Chen Mo to escort her to the Liang family.
Given Liang Ji's identity, Chen Mo naturally couldn't secretly take her to the Prince of Wei's mansion to take care of the baby.
Before leaving Tianchuan, Liang Ji met her father.
Looking at his daughter's bulging belly, Liang Mu was still a little surprised, although he was prepared: "I didn't expect this to be true?"
Someone in the clan had told him about this a long time ago, but he couldn't go to the palace to see Liang Ji. Without seeing it with his own eyes, he would inevitably have some suspicions in his heart.
Liang Ji's face flushed slightly, and she didn't say anything.
"Is it really his?" Liang Mu asked anyway.
Liang Ji nodded: "It's been more than five months. This time I'm leaving the palace to go home and take care of the baby."
"Huh"
Liang Mu let out a long sigh, his expression was a bit complicated, with guilt for involving his daughter, relief, and joy of being a grandfather.
"Don't worry, father, he likes this child very much." Liang Ji thought her father was worried about something, and said.
"Your Majesty shouldn't know." Liang Mu said.
Liang Ji shook her head: "Your Majesty shouldn't know that I'm pregnant, but Your Majesty should know that I had a tryst with him."
"If you know, you know. Anyway, the world will change its surname to Chen sooner or later." Liang Mu looked at the blue sky.
"Father, I heard that you are going to the Western Regions in a few days. Is there something wrong?"
"Take him to the Western Regions to find someone. If it's fast, he will be back before the New Year."
"Then be careful on the way, father."
"You too."
...
In the few days before departure.
One after another, the documents for taking office were issued from the Secretariat and sent to Xiangyang by messengers at full speed.
These are the documents for the candidates who failed the palace examination and the joint examination. The documents state that they will take office in a certain state and place, and ask them to arrive within the specified time. If they fail to arrive without reason, the court will revoke the latecomer's reputation.
If they are dissatisfied with the court's arrangement, or want to retake the exam next year, they need to report to the local government.
In addition to the arrangements for these people.
The more than 70 Jinshi who passed the palace examination also have a place to go.
…
Wei Wangfu.
Backyard.
In Xia Zhiqing's wing room.
The two children were temporarily taken by Yi Shiyan to play in the next yard next door.
Chen Mo hugged a beautiful shoulder of a naked, graceful body, and was imprinted on the other's lips, intimate.
Xia Zhiqing gently "hmm", lowered her slightly trembling eyelashes, felt the intimacy of the young man, and felt sweet waves in her heart.
Suddenly, the young man who was kissing her took a breath of cool air, and his eyes narrowed as if in ecstasy.
Xia Zhiqing left the young man's warm lips, held the boy's shoulders with her jade hands, looked down, and her face turned red.
Chen Mo was standing by the bed, while she was kneeling on the soft couch, with the other person hugging her shoulders.
Her sister was playing hide-and-seek under the bed.
Chen Mo gently let go of Zhiqing's shoulders, looked down, hugged Zhining's head, and whispered: "I will leave for the Western Region tomorrow, Zhining, you should be quiet at home and don't make your sister angry."
Zhining pursed her shiny pink lips, muttered angrily a few times, and said something dirty.
Chen Mo ignored her and turned to Zhiqing and said: "Zhiqing, please help Mi'er more. As for Yang Qingqing, although she was honest during the time I was here, she doesn't know that after I leave, Will she disturb the people again, but I warned Ruyan, she can’t change the world as long as Ruyan is there.”
Zhiqing put a slender arm around Chen Mo's neck, wanting to continue enjoying the other person's intimacy. She put a hand on the back of Chen Mo's head and gently lowered the pressure.
Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. Sure enough, they were an old couple, not as "shy" as before.
Naturally, he had no reason to refuse the fresh fruit that was brought to his lips.
Zhiqing snorted slightly, bit her lower lip, held Chen Mo's head in her hands, and played with Chen Mo's long hair with her green fingers, messing up Chen Mo's bun.
Just when Chen Mo was about to relieve his worries, Xia Zhining suddenly frowned and stood up with a resentful look on her face. She walked to the table, raised her bright eyes like water, looked back at the young man in the python robe, and picked up the The tea on the side started to drink.
Chen Mo and Xia Zhiqing: "..."
"What are you doing?" Chen Mo was speechless. Her anger was completely aroused, but she walked away.
Xia Zhining glared at Chen Mo and said nothing. After drinking the water, she walked to the soft couch without saying a word and climbed up. She lay down obediently and hugged a pillow.
"???"
"What are you doing?" Chen Mo was speechless.
"What do you think?" Xia Zhining looked back at Chen Mo, her eyes expressive.
Chen Mo: "..."
After all, he knew the basics. He quickly understood what Xia Zhining meant and was a little bit dumbfounded.
"Are you so anxious to get pregnant?" Chen Mo said with a smile.
Xia Zhining said coldly: "Since when have you been so nagging? You won't be able to do it anymore, right?"
Xia Zhiqing, who was used to the two of them fighting, couldn't help laughing at this moment. Her eyebrows were as crescent-shaped, but her cheeks were as red as blush, and she undressed Chen Mo.
"Zhining is in trouble again." Chen Mo said to Xia Zhiqing.
"Husband, please have mercy on her, she is like this." Xia Zhiqing said.
"When did I not pity her?"
Chen Mo got on the bed, patted the millstone, and then glanced at Zhi Qing.
Xia Zhiqing understands this little behavior in bed no more.
…
Chen Mo hugged the two girls, kissed Zhi Qing's jade neck, and couldn't let go of Zhi Ning.
Although Zhining has not given birth to a child yet, she is still in her twenties after all, and her figure has begun to become plump and charming.
He didn't say much and fulfilled Zhining's wish.
Xia Zhi's fragrant and jade-skinned body felt like it was struck by thunder, and those memories of her past and Chen Mo's obsession came to her mind again.
