Chapter 104 Are they the same person?
Greed Chu left the palace with Xiao Baojing on his back and walked towards the north of the city.
Xiao Baojing was puzzled: "What do you want Wenyun to do?"
"Eat."
"How do you eat that kind of thing?"
"Eat it as if you are introducing air into your body. It is a great tonic."
Xiao Baojing held her face and fell into deep thought.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't imagine how on earth such ethereal things could be eaten into her body.
Only half of the Wendao Academy in the north of the city is left, and only half of the masters and students who teach here are left. Some have gone home to repair their houses, and some have returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty, so only a few people are still here.
Greed Chu wanted to devour Wen Yun, so he put the basket of goods under the eaves and let the big skeleton and the little skeleton stare at Xiao Baojing.
"Don't even think about running away..."
The young man's white monk's robe embroidered with the word "hungry" hung like water, with an orange wooden clasp hanging from his waist. He had red lips, white teeth and a pointed chin. He raised his hands with sharp nails in a bad way.
The red thread on the fingertips is faintly visible.
Xiao Baojing was pulled forward by the red silk thread, staggered two steps, and fell straight into the boy's arms.
The boy lowered his head, his thin lips pressed against the girl's white ear, his breath hot and dangerous: "Otherwise, I will eat you!"
After threatening, he walked away.
The big skeleton held the small skeleton in one hand and the painted folding fan in the other. He watched the owner go away, thought for a while, and slowly handed the folding fan to Xiao Baojing, as if inviting her to play.
Xiao Baojing didn't answer.
She put her hands beside her head and watched the red thread disappearing in the air.
It was obviously a silk thread made by a salesman, but Chao Yuan and Gu Chu could also use it.
Their faces are so similar...
Are they the same person?
If it is said to be a split personality, but they can appear in the same time and space at the same time, this does not meet the characteristics of split personality.
It is said that a powerful demon subduing master can move mountains and seas, and can do anything. If it is said that the salesman is so good at magic, he can split into countless selves, but why do these "selves" have a sense of competition among them?
What are they fighting for?
In addition to these two possibilities, Xiao Baojing also thought of another possibility.
The salesman is not a demon subduing master, but a powerful demon.
A great demon that is so powerful that it can possess countless bodies at the same time.
The endless thoughts made Xiao Baojing's head hurt.
She shook her head and decided not to think about these things until she found the salesman.
She asked the skeleton: "Can I walk around? I can't escape as long as you follow me."
The skeleton hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Xiao Baojing took a stroll in Wendao Academy.
It was late spring, and because there were few people taking care of it, the school palace was overgrown with weeds and the birds were chirping sadly. The pavilions and palaces repaired by Xiao Qian were once again deserted and abandoned.
Xiao Baojing stepped into the treasure hall, where there were collections of classics and history carefully copied by students.
But now no one is reading it, only silverfish are walking through it, eating the pages for a living.
Although it is said that "seeing silverfish on the desk is better than ordinary couples", Xiao Baojing still couldn't help but feel a little pity when he saw these good books being eaten and damaged by silverfish.
The big skull frame spread a piece of silk on the ground, and raised his hand to ask Xiao Baojing to sit down.
Xiao Baojing sat on his knees in front of the desk.
The light and shadow of late spring shine in through the begonia flower window, countless dusts dance in the circle of light, the girl's peach blossom pink skirt is spread on the ground, the double bun tie hangs on the chest, and the snow-tender little face in the spring light is as delicate as a flower.
She leaned down slightly and blew the dust on the desk. "What a big dust!"
The sound of milky milk suddenly came.
Xiao Baojing was startled and quickly leaned forward to look at the bookcase.
Separated from the tall books, a dignified and beautiful young woman was kneeling opposite, holding a three-year-old little girl in her arms, and looking at her in panic.
Xiao Baojing was surprised: "Crown Princess?!"
The mother and daughter had probably been hiding here for a long time, and they looked disgraced.
"Are you... Miss Xiao?" The woman recognized Xiao Baojing, and then she took off her guard, "I saw you in the academy that day, and later I heard from my husband that Sister Xiao and Warlock Shang helped him a lot. I really I don’t know how to thank you! By the way, sister Xiao, just call me Xueying.”
Xiao Baojing said generously: "Sister Xueying!"
She gently poked the little pink dumpling in Lu Xueying's arms again.
The little girl smiled shyly and snuggled into her mother's arms with a blushing face. She looked so cute.
Lu Xueying gently stroked the little girl's braid: "Her name is Xiao Dingtian, and her nickname is Ping'an."
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
Xiao Baojing was stunned: "This name is really domineering!"
"It was taken by the fourth sister." Lu Xueying also laughed and looked at the little girl in her arms softly. "The fourth sister said that the 'ding' is an important weapon passed down to the country. In ancient times, there was a saying of 'aiming for the Central Plains', which has always been used. To symbolize the power of a dynasty. The word "天" represents supremacy and impartiality, and is a symbol of authority and law. The fourth sister has high hopes for Xiaoping..."
Xiao Baojing scratched his head.
I didn’t expect that a scary woman like Xiao Nanjia would even carefully name her niece!
"It's just..." Lu Xueying smiled helplessly, "There has never been a reason for a woman to ascend the throne in the past dynasties. I'm afraid Xiaopingan will live up to her expectations."
Xiao Baojing: Why not!
Isn’t Xiao Nanjia planning to usurp the throne?
Co-author Xiao Nanjia has chosen Xiao Ping'an as her heir!
Lu Xueying k , the child of the god will definitely be able to govern the country well.”
Xiao Baojing thought of Xiao Yulou's unborn heir and counted the days. It had been seven months.
If you want to have an abortion again, it should be more difficult, right?
The salesman is busy with his own affairs and has not been able to complete the transaction with Xiao Yulou until now.
Everything is a mess and there is no clue.
Xiao Baojing pulled at her bun, thinking about it made her tired.
"By the way," she came back to her senses and picked up the important things and said, "Sister Xueying, you are hiding here, maybe you don't know how to return to Southern Tang Dynasty, right? At midnight, while the moon is reflected in the water, you Jump in and you can return to Southern Tang Dynasty! You have to hurry up and leave tonight, because the Gu Song Dynasty may never see the moon again soon!”
Lu Xueying was startled and nodded quickly: "Thank you, Sister Xiao, for letting me know. I'll note it down."
It was not yet midnight, so Lu Xueying suggested again: "Let me show you around."
The Academy was renovated by Xiao Qian. Lu Xueying and her daughter often live here, so they are very familiar with every plant and tree here.
After visiting half of the library, Xiao Baojing was amazed by the amount of books in the academy.
Lu Xueying held Xiao Ping'an's hand and said with a smile: "This is nothing. Before the Wendao Academy was burned down, the book collection was ten times what it is now, including almost all collections of classics and history, poems and songs, folk miscellaneous stories, and epigraphic murals from ancient times to the present. , it’s a pity that they were all burned in the fire..."
Xiao Baojing said: "I heard the salesman mentioned the fire. He said that in the late Gu Song Dynasty, someone maliciously set fire to the academy and burned many people to death. Since then, the academy has been in a state of decline. It was not until the prince presented a memorial to the emperor in the spring of the year before last that it restarted. I don’t know who is so wicked as to set fire to the academy!”
Lu Xueying lowered her eyelids, trembled slightly, and whispered: "He is a very scary man. He is small and shriveled, with fierce eyes..."
Xiao Baojing leaned on the bookshelf, wrapped a pink tie around his fingertips, and tilted his head.
Sister Xueying's expression was as if she had seen the arsonist before.
But she was the crown prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty. How could she have met Gu Song's people?
