I heard that the bamboo horse has a crush on me

After dinner, Ji Yumeng took Ji Beicheng to the night market.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of people during the day, the capital at night has its own style, like a beautiful woman who is still holding a pipa and wants to talk. The Qinhuai River is even more brightly lit, silk and bamboo singing and dancing, and Wu Nong's soft words are very lively. .

Ji Yumeng's family education has been strict since she was a child, and she hardly ever goes out of the house on weekdays.Now that I have arrived in the capital, I feel that everything is new.It's fun and delicious, and I can't hold it when I buy it in Ji Beicheng.

Passing by a Qingqi restaurant, she pulled Ji Beicheng to act coquettishly, "Brother Beicheng, take me to drink!"

Ji Beicheng didn't hear clearly, "What did you say?"

Ji Yumeng pouted and said, "Princess Diqiu said that the pear blossoms in the capital are very delicious. Brother, I only have one sip, and one sip is enough. Take me to taste it."

"Little girl, you have gained a lot of courage after entering the palace!" Ji Beicheng was about to refuse, but someone said: "This girl is right, even the emperor likes to drink pear blossoms from the capital!"

The person who came folded the fan lightly, and smiled freely, "Tingzhi and I were coming here for a drink, but we didn't expect to meet General Ji. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Ji Beicheng turned his head and said politely, "So it's Mr. He and Mr. Gu."

He Shuyue smiled loudly and made a gesture of invitation. "Meeting General Ji so coincidentally, how about having a drink?"

Because He and Gu are highly valued by the emperor, as long as Ji Beicheng returns to the capital, he can see them in the Imperial Study Room or the Hall of Anhe, and as time goes by, they get to know each other well.

Ji Beicheng said: "Of course you can't ask for it."

The waiter in the restaurant recognized He Shuyue, and led him to a private room without waiting for his orders.The display here is mainly plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, accompanied by wood carvings and the four treasures of the study. It is simple and simple, with a strong ink fragrance, and it does not seem like a place to eat.

Ji Beicheng carefully watched the furnishings in the room and praised them repeatedly.Seeing that Gu Tingzhi hadn't spoken, he sat down and said, "I heard from the emperor that Mr. Gu wants to invite himself to Yangzhou to be the magistrate. I don't understand this. Who doesn't know that you are a big celebrity in front of the emperor? Stay in the capital, and in the future It is possible to worship the prime minister, why go back to the place?"

Gu Tingzhi smiled, with complex emotions in his eyes, "Some private matters."

Perhaps because he was afraid of Ji Beicheng's questioning, He Shuyue hurriedly changed the subject.

It turned out that he was the number one scholar in previous convictions, and now Gu Tingzhi, the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, is indeed elegant and elegant, as bright as a bright moon.From the moment we met just now, Ji Yumeng has been staring at him all the time, with a straight look in his eyes without any shyness, which attracted He Shuyue's frequent glances, "Who is this?"

Ji Yumeng said: "I entered Beijing with Brother Beicheng!" She always remembered Ji Beicheng's words and could not reveal her identity.

"Are you the Gu Tingzhi Princess Diqiu likes?" Ji Yumeng asked.

Gu Tingzhi didn't expect this girl to be so straightforward, so he was stunned for a moment, and then heard Ji Beicheng shout, "Yumeng!"

Ji Yumeng sticks out her tongue and shuts her mouth, but her eyes keep circling on Gu Tingzhi's body.

Ji Beicheng was quite apologetic, "This girl has always been outspoken, please don't mind the two adults, she has absolutely no other intentions."

Gu Tingzhi smiled lightly, "It's okay." Being able to be taken by Ji Beicheng's side, this woman is also extremely important to him.

Even though they ate together, the pear-blossom was served, but Ji Yumeng didn't taste any of it, and sat on the sidelines feeling aggrieved.

Ji Beicheng could only coax her, "How about I ask the guards to take you to a sideshow?"

She just didn't want to hear them talk about state affairs, so she happily went out to play alone.

After the person left, He Shuyue tentatively said: "This girl has a very close relationship with General Ji."

Ji Beicheng nodded with a smile.

On the contrary, He Shuyue was taken aback, "I heard that Hou Ye had been engaged to General Ji since childhood, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding?"

Gu Tingzhi's calm expression was slightly moved, "General Ji and Lord Shenhou...are they engaged?"

He Shuyue was startled, "You don't know? There was a lot of trouble some time ago, and even the princess came to ask me if I knew what was going on with them?"

Ji Beicheng smiled wryly, "This matter is beyond words."

He Shuyue asked: "Where do we start with this indescribable story?"

Ji Beicheng laughed at himself, "It's just that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless."

Gu Tingzhi glanced at He Shuyue, and said: "Master He is the most experienced in this matter, the general might as well listen to what Master He has to say."

Ji Beicheng was pleasantly surprised, "Really?"

He Shuyue laughed dryly, thinking what experience do I have?How can I have experience?But seeing Ji Beicheng's expression of eagerness for knowledge, he couldn't refuse, so he said, "I have to tell you that the general's previous method is very good. After all, Lord Hou is known as 'the most beautiful woman in Yunchu', brave and good at fighting, and elegant." Zhuo Jue. Although he has repeatedly rejected Gao Pian, there is no guarantee that more Gao Pian will flock to him. How many enemies will the general have by then?"

Ji Beicheng said: "You mean the rumors of engagement?"

He Shuyue nodded, "This rumor will at least make many people quit. The general will first keep out the unruly people around Master Hou, and then slowly figure it out, and things will surely come true."

Ji Beicheng pursed his lips and thought about it for a moment, and felt that this attention seemed not bad.

Speaking of Gao Pian, Ji Beicheng hadn't heard from him for a long time. As an old friend, he felt that he should care about him, "How is Gao Pian now?"

"According to the law of Chu, Gao Pian should be sentenced to exile. However, he probably won't live until that time." Gu Tingzhi said.

Gao Pian was originally the person the emperor wanted to get rid of, once he fell into his hands, there was basically no hope of surviving.

The three of them were talking, but they heard several screams from the street.Ji Beicheng was originally a martial artist, so his hearing was naturally more sensitive than that of ordinary people. When he heard the voice, he jumped from the window on the second floor to the street.

He took three steps at a time, rushed to the source of the sound, pushed aside the crowd, and saw Shen Bi clutching his bleeding arm, his face as white as paper.On one side was a woman on the ground, crying bitterly, with a bloody dagger at her feet, and on the other side, Zhu Chengxuan was trembling as if he had been frightened.

Warm blood flowed from Shen Bi's fingers, he could feel the blood crawling on the skin like wriggling worms, it was so disgusting that he almost wanted to vomit.

Fear is like a giant dragon gradually waking up from the abyss, soaring into the sky, breaking through all the confinement, and roaming wantonly in every inch of his skin and bones.

Shen Bi sighed slightly, there is no moon and no light tonight.

When everything was quiet, a face full of anxiety and worry broke into Shen Bi's sight.All worries, fears, anxiety, anger... At that moment, they were all soothed by that face.

He stretched out his hand towards Ji Beicheng.

Surprised and delighted, Ji Beicheng took Shen Bi's hand and pulled him into his arms, "Master Hou, what happened?"

Shen Bi shook his head and passed out.

At this time, Gu Tingzhi and He Shuyue had already come down from upstairs, they saw the injured Shen Bi, they looked at each other, then Gu Tingzhi said to Ji Beicheng: "General, take Lord Hou back to see the doctor first, leave it to us here! "

Ji Beicheng really wanted to kick that crying woman lying on the ground to see who she was and why did she hurt Shen Bi?But for him, the most important thing at this time is to check Shen Bi's injuries.He picked him up and ran all the way back to the Hou Mansion.

Fortunately, the other party was a woman with weak strength, and Shen Bi was not seriously injured. At this time, she fainted, probably because she saw blood on her body.

When Uncle Fu saw Ji Beicheng coming back with the unconscious Shen Bi in his arms, he felt like the sky was falling.Fortunately, Ji Beicheng said that Shen Bi just fainted, and told him to find a doctor immediately.

After another toss, Ji Beicheng guarded Shen Bi and never left.

Uncle Fu couldn't bear it anymore, "General Ji, why is Lord Hou injured again?"

"I don't know either. At that time, I was in a hurry to bring him back to bandage the wound, and handed over the person who injured him to Gu Tingzhi and He Shuyue. Don't worry, Uncle Fu, one of them is the servant of the Ministry of Punishment, and the other is the minister of Dali Temple. They are both good at solving cases. It will all be clear tomorrow."

Uncle Fu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Master Hou's life was full of hardships. I thought that after the death of Mr. Hou, he was finally freed and no one could hurt him anymore, but why did he still get hurt every other day? Old slave You can see it in your eyes, but it hurts in your heart!"

Ji Beicheng said silently, "I didn't protect Ah Bi well."

Uncle Fu waved his hands with a sob, "General Ji, I know this is none of your business, you are good enough to Lord Hou, maybe it's his fate!"

"Uncle Fu." Ji Beicheng looked up, "Do you know why I know he hates me, but still come here again and again?"

Uncle Fu was stunned, silent for a long time, and said: "Perhaps... the old slave guessed it."

Ji Beicheng asked, "What's your answer?"

Fu Bo said: "General Ji likes Lord Hou!"
