Chapter 47: The Prophecy(1/2)
Xiao Qianye turned around, but did not go towards the military pavilion. Instead, he walked all the way out and left the inner city.
A tall wall was built on the inner and outer perimeter of the imperial city to separate the royal family from the nobles. After exiting this gate and surrounding the entire inner city, the outer palaces were connected one after another. Although they were densely distributed, few people came out to wander around. Even now
It was noon, and there were only guards on routine patrol in the noble area going back and forth to check their posts.
At a glance, he saw two familiar figures at the door of Tianzheng Mansion. The three princesses jumped up and rushed towards him happily. This time, they did not hang on him directly, but pretended to be reserved and held hands with their eyes.
Turning quickly: "Qianye, you are back! I told you that you will come back early in the morning after being busy. Mu Yun still doesn't believe me. You see, my astrology is more accurate than his experience, right?"
"Young Pavilion Master, I can't stop her..." Mu Yun clicked his tongue, not expecting that Xiao Qianye would really come back as the three princesses planned, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.
"If you can't stop it, then no one can stop it." Xiao Qianye was helpless. Mu Yun was able to garrison the military pavilion headquarters all year round. In fact, it was because he was the son of the city lord of Paidu Luo City. He had been in the army for six years due to his outstanding performance.
He only entered the Military Pavilion after the autumn election last year. The old city lord was worried that his only son would suffer hardship outside, so he put pressure on him in the name of the Bipolar Association, forcing him to leave such an outstanding talent in Tianyu City.
The level required guarding the four directions, and in the end, I could only appoint a deputy general to guard the military headquarters in the imperial capital, which was empty all year round.
However, it is not a complete waste to have a noble son in charge of the headquarters. At least when he is away, he can deal with some emergencies with ease.
"Come in and sit for a while." He suddenly relaxed and opened the door of Tianzheng Mansion.
"Ahhhhh! You are willing to let me in!" Ogyue was flattered. It has been four years since she proposed marriage, and Xiao Qianye has never let her in!
"Young Pavilion Master, this..." Mu Yun was also shocked. Since the Tianzheng Mansion massacre eight years ago, the door of this mansion has been completely locked to the outside world. Except for the two brothers, no outsiders have entered.
!
"It's been a long time since I've cleaned it. It might be a little messy." Xiao Qianye didn't care. The door "squeaked" like it hadn't been opened in a long time. Hazy Yue hurriedly got in, for fear that he would be there the next second.
Regret.
The next moment, the third princess looked at the empty front yard and frowned - there was really nothing there, not even flowers, grass or trees, just a large piece of flat bricks.
You can see the main hall at a glance.
The yard was very clean, it didn't look like it had been cleaned all year round, but it was lifeless and lifeless.
"Are there no servants?" Longyue asked cautiously. She could even hear her own faint echo, and she couldn't help but feel a little scared. She followed Xiao Qianye, dragging him tightly.
"Servants? There are indeed none." Xiao Qianye has long been used to it, "My eldest brother and I don't live in Tianyu City for a long time, so there is no need to use servants."
Longyue looked at him strangely. There were more than 300 servants in the Sixth Prince's residence, and there were more than ten people serving her every day. Tianzheng Mansion was also the residence of the Master of the Military Pavilion, so how could it be so deserted?
She looked around curiously and heard from her brothers and sisters that Tianzheng Mansion encountered a strange fire eight years ago. Everyone in the mansion died at that time, and even the bodies were burned to ashes. But now it seems,
The masonry is still a normal blue color, and there are no signs of being burned on the walls. It doesn’t look like it has suffered a fire at all!
She was confused in her heart, but she still knew not to mention it. Xiao Qianye's eyes were gloomy. After knowing all the truth, she came back again, but her heart was empty, just like this empty front yard, there was nothing.
Why is this happening... Even when the elder brother told the truth, he never really thought about hurting him.
Is it the nature of ferocious beasts to let go of killing so easily?
"Ah...I, let me tell you a star!" Feeling that the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment, Hazy Moon quickly changed the subject, pulled him to the lobby, and said seriously, "The Moon Saint accepts me as her apprentice.
Yes! He taught me a lot about astrology!"
"I never believe this." Xiao Qianye declined politely, but Longyue refused to give up and said anxiously, "You don't believe it? Then I, then I will give him a divination first. If it comes true, you must let me also divination.
Once, do you want to bet or not?"
Mu Yun had a dark face and muttered: "What does it have to do with me..."
"Come here!" Hazyue unceremoniously opened his left hand and drew a circle on his palm in a formal manner, still mumbling something in her mouth.
"Like a magic stick..." Mu Yun cursed angrily, feeling a little warm in the palm of his hand, as if something strange was really swimming around.
The third princess tilted her head and watched carefully, winking from time to time. In fact, she didn't know much about it. After all, she had only been a beginner for half a month, and the Moon Saint only taught her the marriage divination that she wanted to learn most.
"Companion star...A companion star has appeared. Are you engaged?" Finally, she could see her eyebrows, and Haoyue carefully tested, "Is my calculation accurate? You, you are engaged!"
Mu Yun's cheeks turned red, she had really guessed it!
Haoyue breathed a sigh of relief and secretly rejoiced - she got it right? It seems that she still has some talent in astrology!
"Congratulations." Xiao Qianye saw the change in his subordinates and knew that he must have been fooled. Mu Yun quickly withdrew his hand and explained awkwardly, "It's not that my subordinates deliberately concealed it, but the other lady is not old enough yet, so the marriage
My family made the reservation in advance, and it will take a few more years..."
"Hehe, I was right anyway, Qianye, you can't go back on your word!" Longyue rubbed her hands happily, and her heart was filled with joy. She finally begged the Moon Saint to accept her as her apprentice, just to find opportunities.
Calculate her marriage with Xiao Qianye. After all, she has been proposing marriage to him since she was eleven years old, but has always been ignored and rejected. If the results of astrology prove that she and he are destined, Xiao Qianye may be more willing to marry him.
Should you pay more attention to her?
Wuyue raised her eyes to peek at him, only to see Xiao Qianye stretching out her left hand.
"You agreed!" She was surprised and happy. Xiao Qianye nodded, as if he was really interested, "I can't see the Moon Saint. If I'm lucky enough to meet her disciple, I can't miss it."
"Yes, thank you." Haoyue blushed in embarrassment. Although she knew he was just joking, she still quickly drew a circle on his palm.
It's so cold... This person's palms are so cold.
Wuyue held her breath and carefully looked at the blurry stars in his palm - no, what she calculated was clearly the marriage divination, so why was there another star in this person's palm?
One dim main star, two lifeless auxiliary stars, what are these?
Haoyue searched anxiously, but she didn't realize that her face was already covered in sweat. Where did the companion star go? This person didn't have a companion star?
"How is it?" Seeing her expression was different, Xiao Qianye looked calm and asked silently.
"Ah?" Haoyue raised her eyes and happened to bump into his eyes. She was shocked - blue eyes? Xiao Qianye's eyes turned blue?
When she took a closer look, she realized that it seemed to be just her illusion.
"Have you finished taking the account?" He suddenly became anxious and urged. Hazy Moon looked at it again and found that there really was no companion star... Could it be that this young and promising military pavilion master, who was listed as a role model by the imperial capital, had no companion star in his whole life?
Someone who is by your side?
"No... I didn't find it." She didn't dare to say such a hurtful result easily, and she hesitated to smooth things over, "I've only been studying for half a month. Just now, maybe it was a blind cat that met a dead mouse, and now it's completely useless again.
...Qianye, don't worry, it must be because I am not good at studying and have not taken advantage of it. I will ask the master to let her take advantage of it for you..."
"No need." He withdrew his hand and shook his head coldly.
In fact, this result was not unexpected. The person he was thinking about didn't even know if he could really survive.
In the thousands of years that Feiyuan has recorded history, the Lingfeng clan has never produced a mixed-race descendant. Even if Feng Ji vowed to keep her, it was just to threaten him as a bargaining chip.
"Qianye, don't worry!" Haoyue muttered in a low voice, "I don't want to comfort you, but the star position just now doesn't seem to be a marriage position. I am a half-empty person, so I must have made a mistake somewhere.
, I don’t know where it went. By the way, the star position just showed that there are two very important people around you. They will always be by your side no matter what time. They are auxiliaries a hundred times more precious than companion stars.
Where are the stars! Not everyone has them, let alone you have two!"
Although Haoyue said what she said sounded nice, she kept murmuring in her heart - the master once said on the first day he taught her astrology that auxiliary stars are extremely rare and most of them stop next to the emperor star.
Such a dazzling appearance appeared, second only to the Emperor Star. However, the two stars beside Xiao Qianye seemed to have lost their vitality and looked like they would fall at any time.
"Thank you, Longyue." Xiao Qianye sighed silently and touched the head of the third princess.
"Ah... No, you're welcome." Longyue's cheeks instantly turned red, all the way to her ears and neck. He called her name! This was the first time in four years that Xiao Qianye called her by her given name!
"Mu Yun, send the princess back." Then he changed his words and changed his appearance. Before the three princesses could recover from the ecstasy, Mu Yun quickly picked her up and rushed out of Tianzheng Mansion.
.
"Hey! Why did you drag me out!" Haoyue wanted to run over unwillingly, but Muyun quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Don't disturb the young pavilion master's rest. He came from the north bank overnight yesterday.
Those who returned to the capital from the city were called by Danzhen Palace for an autopsy early in the morning, and were summoned by His Majesty just after they left the house. Auntie, please worry less, can't you see that the Young Pavilion Master is already so tired that his eyes are black?"
"Humph, of course I can tell. I'll come back to the head office tomorrow, right?" Hazyue angrily threw the lieutenant away.
"Princess Princess, I will take you back..."
"No!" The third princess turned back and made a face at him, "Who said I'm going back? I'm going to find the master to ask about the star position just now. Don't follow me. You can't go up to the Moon Tower anyway.
"
"No one wants to follow you, okay?" Mu Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The third princess is the daughter of the sixth prince's house. No one can control her unruly and willful behavior. He can't even hide in time!
Then, Mu Yun suddenly looked back blankly at the empty Tianzheng Mansion. Could the lonely young pavilion master really be as the three princesses said?
He joined the military pavilion for six years. Although he could not stay in one place like other generals because of his father's obstruction, he sincerely admired and convinced the master of the military pavilion.
He didn't dare to say how well he knew Xiao Qianye, but judging from Tianzheng Mansion's position in the imperial capital for many years, there were quite a few people who wanted to propose marriage and try to get married. Even His Majesty Tianquan once wanted to marry his fifth princess.
Ming Shu proposed to marry, but the young pavilion master unexpectedly declined.
Looking at the lonely look on the Young Pavilion Master's face just now... is there really an impossible person deep in his heart?
The three princesses hurried to the inner city. From a distance, they saw a gorgeous purple dress falling from the roof of Wangyue Tower, which she could not see, and landed lightly in front of her.
"Hey, Master, how did you know I was coming?" she asked curiously. The Moon Saint grabbed her shoulders, her whole body trembled involuntarily, and when she raised her head, her expression was so terrifying that the three princesses took a breath!
"You, what did you just take?" The beautiful saint's face was distorted, and even her voice was obviously out of tune. She shook her hard and asked, "Ah Yue, what did you just take?"
"Marriage, marriage..." The third princess was squeezed painfully by her and frightened by her appearance, "Master, I calculated the marriage hexagram you taught me before for Qianye and Mu Yun respectively!
"
This little girl has been pestering her to help her calculate her marriage since the day she became her disciple. She is obviously only a fifteen-year-old girl, but she still insists on this matter, but she likes whoever she likes.
Xiao Qianye, the master of the military pavilion!
