Chapter 89: The Mysterious Bird of Destiny
"What's going on? What's going on? Was Houzhao injured? Why did Liu Jin's dirty pickled product break his hand? It's really unlucky!"
Outside the courtyard, with a complaining sound, several figures rushed over. Leading was a fat man in his thirties, his face dark and looked like he was full of anger in his heart.
"Marty!" When the leader of the imperial guard saw this, he quickly hugged his fists and smiled bitterly. As for the other imperial guards, he did not dare to capture Li Mo.
"Uncle, uncle."
When the child saw the visitor, he couldn't help but shrink his body.
The fat man in a brocade robe patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, the thick picture is fine, otherwise my uncle would not have been scolded to death by his sister."
That's right, this guy never thought about whether the prince would be torn apart by His Majesty if something happened to his house, but he was only worried that his sister would scold him. And this person was Zhang Heling, the head of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion.
Zhang Heling’s sister is nothing but the current queen and Zhu Houzhao’s mother!
"You, your name is Li...What's Li?" Zhang Heling said to the leader of the imperial guards.
The man smiled bitterly and said, "Liu Ning was the commander of Yongning Guard. Later, he was transferred to the commander of the capital for his merits and was appointed as the guerrilla general of the Xuanfu. Two years ago, he was highly praised by the Taifu and promoted to the imperial guards. Now he is the commander of the Eastern Palace Guard."
"Oh, it's you. I'm so confused. Hahaha... Then what, tell me everything. Well, I'll send someone to count it later. If there are any losses, you can lose this marquis!" Zhang Heling said.
Liu Ning had the urge to slash this guy with a knife, but thinking of the queen's affection for this person... Forget it, I have to hold back this!
Holding back this breath, Liu Ning told what he knew. Zhang Heling stared at Li Mo with his eyes shining, "That's right, that bird was raised by this marquis. Liu Jin dared to take action without knowing his dignity. Cutting his arm is considered a bargain. By the way, this marquis is going to chat with his sister. You should send someone to catch the bird and put it in a cage. Remember, it must be delivered to this marquis!"
After saying that, Zhang Heling turned around and was about to leave.
Tsk, this marquis is really not suitable for me to see. I am a serious scholar, how can I see blood?
After taking two or three steps, Zhang Heling turned around and said, "Oh, by the way, the blood on the ground has been cleaned up for me. I am a scholar and I am the most jealous!"
After the whole process, he didn't seem to care about Zhu Houzhao!
Liu Ning had the urge to draw a knife and kill someone again!
"Hehe, do you attack me? Daming still wants to continue? And that fat man, do you think I am yours?" Li Mo said.
"Fatty? Who is fat?" Zhang Heling's steps stopped again, raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Mo. This guy responded to the conversation much faster than Liu Ning, and had nothing to do with the topic, but he just held back all Liu Ning's doubts.
"He Ling, what happened? I heard that Liu Jin broke an arm. Is there anything wrong with Mao Zhao?"
Outside the courtyard, another group of people came. The one who walked in front was wearing a phoenix crown and a robe, looking like he was indescribable wealth.
"Sister, he said I'm a fat man!"
Zhang Heling pointed at Li Mo with grief and grievance and said.
"You have indeed gained a lot of weight a few years earlier than you are, but if you want to say that you are fat... Is this cursing me of the Zhang family?" Queen Zhang's face darkened.
Then she was stunned again, and after carefully looking at Li Mo, she asked in a cold voice: "Zhang Heling, what you are talking about...is a bird? Are you playing with your sister?"
"Sister, I didn't play with you, just him calling me a fat man. Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo
Zhang Heling was well aware of the essence of crying, making a fuss and hanging, and sat on the ground and cried. This scene made Xiao Zhu Houzhao unbearable to look at it. He had seen many in the palace and knew how shameless this uncle was. But now... so many people were watching you, how could you still be like this?
Zhu Houzhao couldn't bear to look at her. Queen Zhang wanted to dig out a hole in the ground now and then go in. She had seen shameless people, but she had never seen someone who was so shameless!
"Okay, I will deal with this matter. You...get back to the study room for me!" Queen Zhang said expressionlessly.
"Hehe, sister, please treat me well. Liu Ning, take this dead bird down and send it to my husband's study immediately. I want to strip his hair naked!" Zhang Heling did not forget to give an order when he left.
"Liu Ning, take the bird down and turn around and send it to me." Queen Zhang said.
"Sister, that bird is mine, I took it first." Zhang Heling's steps stopped again.
"Come here, send Hou Shouning to the study! Now, immediately, I don't want to hear him say a word." Queen Zhang ordered without looking back.
As soon as these words were said, several people covered Zhang Heling's mouth and carried him away.
Not only Queen Zhang felt that Zhang Heling was only embarrassing, but others also felt the same. So many people were watching, you were sitting on the ground and rolling and crying, do you look like a marquis? You also have a grudge with a bird... Isn't this, isn't this nonsense?
When Liu Ning saw Zhang Heling leaving, he walked to Queen Zhang and knelt down, and said with a wry smile: "Empress, this bird is probably not easy to catch!"
"What, do you want to disobey?" Queen Zhang looked at the man in his forties coldly in front of her.
"Empress, it's not that I want to disobey, but... This bird had said before that Ming Dynasty wanted to continue the words of attack on him? I don't understand what I said, but I think it's better to ask clearly." Liu Ning said.
Queen Zhang frowned when she heard this, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Hmm? It's fine if a bird can speak, but if you hurt Liu Jin, you don't have to mention it, but you can say this... What do you mean is that there is something strange about it?"
"Empress, you are right, but there is another point... He hurt Liu Jin but didn't leave. There are so many of us here, but he still didn't leave. Don't you think this is strange?" Liu Ning said.
"Forget it, I will take Houzhao away now. You can deal with this matter first. I will notify the Jinyiwei and the East Factory to send someone to help you." Queen Zhang said.
"My memory, receive the order!" Liu Ning hesitated for a moment and took on this task.
Well, although it was an imperial edict, not an imperial edict, he dared not ignore it!
"Empress Zhang, are you leaving now?"
Just as Queen Zhang took Zhu Houzhao to leave, Li Mo spoke again.
"Huh?" Queen Zhang suddenly turned around, glanced at Liu Ning, and then her eyes fell on Li Mo.
"Hahahaha... Since the Zhu family doesn't care, why should I care too much? The Xuanbird of Heaven descends and gives birth to Shang, and the Yin land is bright. The ancient emperor ordered Wu Tang, and the four directions of the main domain..."
Accompanied by laughter, Li Mo spread his wings and flew into the air. But he saw his body constantly magnifying, and finally he was as big as a dark cloud. His wings flapped and he broke through the air.
"Then, that's a monster?" Queen Zhang looked at Liu Ning with a panic look on her face. She was shocked. She thought she might die at that moment! In fear, she didn't pay much attention to what Li Mo said.
"I, I don't know!" Liu Ning was even more frightened than her. The bird that looked small could become so big. Not only were there people like them, but also the queen and the prince!
If something happened to the queen and the prince, the sky would collapse halfway, and he would be responsible for his death!
"Mother, is he the legendary Xuanniao? He just read the "Xuanniao" in the Book of Songs." Zhu Houzhao said.
"Your Highness, the black bird doesn't look like this, it has a long tail... From the appearance of the bird just now, it looks more like a crow." Liu Ning said.
Queen Zhang nodded: "Yes, this is not much different from the Xuanbi in the record. Its appearance does look quite different from the Xuanbi. The Xuanbird Destiny descended and was born in Shang, and the Yin-dizure was magnificent. The Ancient Emperor ordered Wu Tang to be in the four directions of the main domain... If it was really a Xuanbi, would he need to use this poem to prove that he was a Xuanbi? Moreover, the legendary appearance of the Xuanbird represents peace in the world. This auspicious auspiciousness would not break Liu Jin's arm if it appeared?"
"But the Grand Tutor told me that Sima Qian, who wrote the Records of the Grand Historian, was from the Han Dynasty. Has he ever seen a mysterious bird? The "Shan Hai Jing" only says: There is a mountain in the North Sea, called the Youdu Mountain. Black water comes out, and there are mysterious birds, mysterious snakes, mysterious leopards, mysterious tigers, and mysterious foxes on it. There are no words on what the mysterious birds look like? Although there are many records later, have the recorded people ever seen a mysterious bird?" Zhu Houzhao said.
As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned, and Empress Zhang and Liu Ning looked at each other.
Yes, who has seen the Xuanbird? Why do you dare to say what the Xuanbird should look like? Although the Xuanbird graphics have been passed down from before, have those people really seen the Xuanbird?
After a moment of silence, Queen Zhang touched Zhu Houzhao's head and sighed: "Huzhao is really smart. She remembers all the things in these books. However, "Shan Hai Jing" is just a miscellaneous book, not the doctrine of the saints. Don't read it more in the future."
"Yes, mother!" Zhu Houzhao lowered her little head and did not dare to refute.
"Empress, if that, then...what should we do if that person is Xuanniao? Could he be the auspicious person sent by God to assist the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Ning asked cautiously.
"Why don't you send someone to chase me? Call the East Factory and the Jinyiwei, and I will know the news at any time! Also, let Your Majesty notify you of this matter." Queen Zhang's eyes sank and glared at Liu Ning fiercely.
"I'll go now!"
