Chen Ben treacherous

Chapter 49 The Cricket Story

Gu Pengfei was wearing iron armor and holding a spear, standing on the top of the mountain, surrounded by mist and fog.

Jia She stood behind him, complaining: Pengfei, you are going too far, in order to avoid me, you don't even come to court!

However, before he could finish his sentence, the spear on Gu Pengfei's body suddenly fell to the ground, his iron armor was also ripped off, his neat hair was scattered, his white undershirt was covered with mottled blood, his hands were locked between the cliffs, and the cold The voice lingered around him: recruit or not? !How much did Jia She benefit you?If you refuse to admit it, you will only suffer more!

Jia She ran towards Gu Pengfei quickly, but the fog grew more and more. The faster he ran, the thicker the white fog became, and finally surrounded him, making him unable to see clearly the surrounding scenery.

He could only hear Gu Pengfei's painful screams. He tried his best to see clearly, but he couldn't see anything. Suddenly, a round object fell into his arms. Gu Pengfei's head, the head's eyes were wide open, the outline of the face could not be seen for a long time, only the teeth were clenched tightly.

Jia She felt as if his heart had been stabbed by something, and he yelled: "Pengfei!" !

A thunder blasted on Jia She's head, and a flash of lightning flashed across the sky. Jia She woke up from the nightmare with cold sweat all over his head.

Linghu Chunshui opened the car curtain and poked his head in: "Sheshe, what's wrong with you?"

Jia She was still in shock. He looked outside and saw that the sky was gloomy and rainy in spring. The rain drifted into the sedan chair with the wind and stuck to his face. It was cold. I dozed off in the sedan chair.

Linghu Chunshui said: "Your complexion is not very good, did the thunder just scare you?"

Jia She shook his head, feeling more and more uneasy in his heart. He planned to stop looking for Gu Pengfei, but now he stopped hesitating and said loudly, "Stop the car!"

Linghu Chunshui looked at Jia She puzzled, and Jia She said, "Go get a horse, I'm going to Pengfei's place!"

Linghu Chunshui said: "It's raining outside, and it's getting late..."

Without further ado, Jia She snatched Linghu Chunshui's horse, turned on his back, and galloped towards Gu Pengfei's house. Linghu Chunshui sighed, and galloped after Jia She.

Jia She rushed all the way to Gu Pengfei's house, only to see the door of his house was open, Jia She didn't even get off his horse, went straight in, and shouted: "Pengfei! Pengfei, are you there?"

Under the corridor, a child about eight or nine years old was playing with a small bow. When he saw someone intruding, he scolded Jia She very dissatisfied: "Who are you?! You came to my house and what are you looking for with my father!?"

Jia She jumped off the horse, took a step forward, and asked, "Is Gu Pengfei your father? Are you his son Gu Lin?"

Gu Lin pouted and said displeasedly: "Yes, who are you and what are you doing with my father?!"

Seeing that Gu Pengfei's son was safe and sound, Jia She breathed a sigh of relief, squatted down, and said, "I'm your father's friend. My name is Jia She. Where did your father go? When did he leave?"

Gu Lin looked Jia She up and down, and said, "My father went on a long trip ten days ago! You are not a good person, so I won't talk to you!"

At this moment, the servants of Gu Pengfei's residence had also arrived, and they also bowed to Jia She: "It turns out that it is Shumi Jia. General Gu went out a few days ago, saying that there is something to do..."

Jia She was a little dejected. He came out of Gu Pengfei's residence, pulled the horse, lowered his head, and thought in his heart: I really scolded him away, but I'm fine...

Now it was dark and the rain had stopped, Linghu Chunshui walked beside Jia She, seeing Jia She's expression was gloomy, he smiled and said, "Why, I haven't seen anyone, miss him?"

Jia She was in a state of confusion, but he didn't want to tell Linghu Chunshui, he shook his head and said, "Nothing happened...probably...probably he..."

The two were talking, when they suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Zhichuan!"

Jia She and Linghu Chunshui turned their heads together, only to see a young man wearing a blue robe, riding on a horse, smiling at the corner of his mouth, looking at him.

Linghu Chunshui looked at Jia She with doubts, and Jia She said, "This is King Pu'an!"

Linghu Chunshui then bowed to Zhao Qi: "I have met Your Highness!"

Zhao Qice came over on horseback, followed by three or four guards, about ten steps away from him.

When he walked up to Jia She, Zhao Qi tilted his head to look at Jia She, and said with a smile, "My house is nearby too, and I've always wanted to invite you to my house as a guest. It's really better to meet by chance than to invite you. I got a good thing, I just invite you to take a look!"

Jia She turned his head to look at Gu Pengfei's mansion, and then at Zhao Qi's palace not far away, the two of them were indeed not far away.He was a little irritable in his heart, and he didn't want to go home, so he said: "Okay, then please trouble Your Highness!"

Zhao Qi smiled, rode his horse and walked ahead, Linghu Chunshui followed Jia She, and asked, "No wonder I said you haven't gone to see King Pu'an these days, so you have already met him!"

Jia She nodded and said, "Yes, that day when I went down the mountain alone, I happened to meet him, so I talked to him a few words."

Linghu Chunshui looked at Zhao Qi in front of him, then at Jia She, and said with a smile, "It seems that this lord is far from what you imagined in your heart! After seeing him once, you lose interest?"

Jia She glared at Linghu Chunshui, and said in a low voice, "He's just a kid who likes to play..."

The two followed Zhao Qi, and after a short walk, they arrived at the palace, several people entered through the back door, Jia She had been to Zhao De's residence, thought that Zhao Qi's palace was similar, unexpectedly when he entered, he was a little surprised.I saw that the back door was a relatively open place with no flowers, plants or trees, and I didn't know what it was used for. Although the house was luxurious and exquisite, there were very few decorations, and there were not many servants and maids. It was already dark, and the lights in the mansion were not too bright, just enough to illuminate the road.

Zhao Qi talked to Jia She with a smile on the way, and asked him about the battle with Lie Dagger in Ezhou, and Jia She braced himself to deal with it.The three of them came all the way to the side hall, and saw a table in the side hall, a servant from the mansion came forward with a food box, and brought several dishes to the table, all of which were extremely commonplace meals.

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "I came here in a hurry today, and I don't have any preparations, so let Jia Shumi have a light meal!"

Seeing that Zhao Qi was entertaining guests without even watching a DVD, Jia She thought to himself: This guy is a bit stingy! !

But I was also hungry, and there was no psychological pressure on a 16-year-old kid, so I picked up the bowl and ate it with big mouthfuls.

It was only when I ate it in my belly that I realized that it tasted very good. After eating two more bowls of rice, I praised it while eating: "There are not many things, but they are delicious!"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "It seems that you and I have similar tastes! By the way, I almost forgot what I called you here for! I caught a new cricket, but I don't know if it will work! I heard that Jia Shumi also likes to fight. Cricket, so I want you to help me see it!"

Jia She put down the bowl and chopsticks: "I'm full, and it's getting late, so I won't bother His Highness, so I'll take my leave!"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "You ate my food just now, at least you can help me take a look!"

Jia She was a little helpless, he didn't like fighting crickets at all, but when he saw Zhao Qi pulling him, he couldn't refuse the food he just ate, so he followed behind him.

Zhao Qi brought Jia She into the study, and when he reached the door, he winked at Jia She and said, "I just want to show it to you alone!"

Jia She let Linghu Chunshui stay outside, and followed Zhao Qi into the room.

After Zhao Qi entered, he closed the room, but he didn't take out anything.

Jia She was a little strange: "Your Highness, where is your cricket?"

Zhao Qi looked Jia She up and down, his eyes were sharp, but he replied flatly, "I'm lying to you! It's so cold, how can there be crickets? It seems Mr. Jia is restless!"

Jia She became alert all of a sudden, staring at Zhao Qi, thinking: This could not be the same guy as Zhao De!

Zhao Qiwei smiled and said: "I just saw that you looked a little lost, and I was curious, so I asked casually."

Jia She sighed, found a chair in the room and sat down, silent.

Zhao Qidao: "Why don't you speak?"

Jia She glanced at Zhao Qi: "You're a child, you won't understand even if I tell you!"

Zhao Qi smiled, walked up to Jia She, leaned over, and said in a low voice, "I guess, it must be related to General Gu, right?"

Jia She was startled, and looked up at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm just guessing, don't mind if I guess wrong!"

Jia She said: "Your Highness knows how to guess people's hearts!"

Zhao Qi smiled, but did not speak.

Jia She said: "I heard that His Highness grew up in a deep palace, his father died early, and the late emperor left early, is that true?"

Zhao Qi was still smiling, a very innocent smile.

Jia She looked at Zhao Qi: "Your Highness can still laugh often, it's really not easy, it seems that the lower officials also sometimes go wrong!"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "Could it be that I can change things by crying all day long? I know you've encountered a difficult situation, so if you speak up, maybe I can help you?"

Jia She remained silent, Zhao Qi said, "To tell you the truth, I also went to see Gu Pengfei today!"

Jia She looked up at Zhao Qi, and Zhao Qi said, "I heard that he has a close relationship with you. You have been in Ezhou together for such a long time, no matter where he goes, he will never leave you without saying goodbye!"

Jia She sighed, and said, "You don't know, something happened that night, it's not impossible for him to leave without saying goodbye..."

Zhao Qi sat down beside Jia She, quietly waiting for Jia She to continue.

After a while, Jia She said, "That night I was invited to go to Prince Rui's Mansion, but...forget it, you are a child, and you won't understand it!"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and Jia She said: "Anyway, some unpleasant things happened. Later, General Gu arrived and rescued me. On the way, I had a fight with him and told him not to come again. Find me……"

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "I probably know what happened!"

Jia She let out a cry of surprise, and looked at Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi lowered his head, thought carefully, and said slowly: "Zhao De will not come to you for nothing, you used to save you just now...Since Gu Pengfei rescued you, you quarreled with him and broke up... "Speaking of this, Zhao Qi looked up at Jia She, and said: "Zhi Chuan, although I have only met General Gu once, he is definitely not the kind of person who will hold grudges when he quarrels with others!"

Jia She said: "No, you really don't know, he...I...hey, anyway, you won't understand!"

Zhao Qi smiled and said, "Did he offend you?"

Jia She couldn't speak for a moment, Zhao Qi picked up the tea cups on the table, wiped off the foam in the cup with the lid, took a sip, and said, "Don't look at me, I'm just guessing..."

Jia She sighed, and said, "You... guessed right!"

Zhao Qi nodded and said: "So you don't want to tell Linghu Chunshui outside! I think your relationship with Linghu Chunshui is not just a simple guard relationship!"

Jia She said: "You can see everything, why are you trying to trick me?"

Zhao Qi looked into Jia She's eyes and shook his head slightly: "Because I don't think you are that kind of person, there must be some misunderstanding!"

Jia She sneered, "Why do you see that? Everyone looks at me like that, not to mention you think I have a bad reputation?"

Zhao Qi said slowly: "Do you know why I recognized you as Wen Shan that day?"

Jia She shook his head, Zhao Qidao: "At the beginning, I also doubted in my heart whether you are Jia She. But when you picked me up from the water, you only thought about saving people, not anything else! I thought, You are definitely not the notorious Jia She. So I was very shocked when I heard your name."

Jia She looked at Zhao Qi, feeling a little tangled in his heart.

Zhao Qidao: "I don't understand anything like you think. I'm already sixteen this year. Although I haven't got married yet, there are always two concubines! I can distinguish some things."

Jia She was speechless, his heart was filled with all kinds of envy and hatred towards Zhao Qi, when he was 16 years old, he had never even touched a female classmate's hand! !

Zhao Qi stood up slowly, walked in front of Jia She, and patted his shoulder: "Zhi Chuan, I don't know what others think of you, but I don't think you are the kind of person who only knows about licentiousness all day long. I can see that you have a heart, resourcefulness, and ambition, but it's a pity that you can't meet someone who really understands you and believes in you!"

Jia She's heart was shaken, he slowly raised his eyes, and looked at Zhao Qi, Zhao Qi's face was completely devoid of childishness, although his eyes were bright, but there was a trace of depth in his gaze that he couldn't normally see.

Jia She looked away and said, "You only saw me twice..."

Zhao Qi smiled: "Seeing you once is enough. You were not surprised just now. The late emperor passed away long ago. How did I grow up in the deep palace and be left in a forgotten corner without making a sound? Can I still laugh at this?"

Jia She didn't answer, but Zhao Qidao: "It's because I'm very accurate in judging people! Just by looking at them, I can tell who is a friend, who is an enemy, who is reliable, and who should never be treated badly. Tell the truth! Otherwise, I would have died long ago, and it would be impossible for me to stand in front of you, let alone smile at you!"

Jia She said, "What does Your Highness want to say?"

Zhao Qi said slowly: "What I want to say is that you are a reliable person who can be a friend!"

Jia She said, "Your Highness really thinks so?"

Zhao Qi nodded, his voice was a little low: "Yes!"

Jia She lowered his head and remained silent, feeling a slight touch in his heart.

Zhao Qidao: "I saw that you looked a little lost, completely different from that day. What is the reason? Can you tell me?"

Jia She suddenly smiled: "Since you know everything, I have nothing to hide. That day Zhao De invited me to the house..."

Zhao Qi quietly listened to Jia She's narration.

Jia She's voice was not loud, and his tone was very gentle, even when he talked about Zhao De and Zhao Buyu, there was no disturbance.

In the end, he told all the things exactly. After he finished speaking, Jia She also felt faintly surprised that these things he didn't want to tell anyone, but he was able to face the young man in front of him without any scruples. tell.Maybe it's because the light in the room is dim and soft, maybe it's because Zhao Qi's smile makes him feel warm and trusted, or maybe it's because he really needs someone to talk to.

After Jia She finished speaking, the study was quiet.

After a while, Jia She said: "I'm a little worried about Pengfei! So I plan to go into the palace and ask the officials where Pengfei went!"

Zhao Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's not suitable for you to go, that's fine, I'll go and ask for you."

Jia She was slightly surprised: "You?"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "Yes, of course it's me! Can you find a suitable reason and excuse for entering the palace in the middle of the night?"

Jia She was a little puzzled: "This matter has nothing to do with you, why did you help me?"

Zhao Qi smiled slightly, and said: "Jia Shumi is so smart, if you think about it carefully, you should understand! If you don't understand, just think that I am repaying your life-saving grace that day!"

Jia She looked at Zhao Qi weakly, and asked, "Could it be that you can find an excuse to enter the palace in the middle of the night?"

Zhao Qi said with a smile: "I had a dream. I dreamed that something happened to the concubine who raised me since I was a child. After waking up, my cricket broke down again. This is an ominous sign, so I went to visit the palace late at night!"

Jia She muttered: "Little brat, you just said that there are crickets in such a cold day!!"

Zhao Qi didn't bother to refute Jia She, but just took out a box from the bookcase beside him, put it in front of Jia She, and said with a smile, "It's for you!"

After finishing speaking, he walked out, opened the door of the study, and said to Linghu Chunshui who was standing outside: "You are a little incompetent as a personal bodyguard!"

Linghu Chunshui looked at Zhao Qi with a sullen face.

Zhao Qidao: "Master Jia is inside, my cricket broke when he came, I am very angry, you must get me an identical one tonight! Otherwise, hum!"

Linghu Chunshui's face became even more gloomy, he raised his feet and walked towards the study.

But he saw Jia She sitting in a chair dumbfounded, and there was a box on the table beside the chair.The red lacquer box was opened, and there was a black-winged cricket in it, which was slightly spreading its wings, as if it wanted to fly.

Linghu Chunshui leaned over and wondered, "Huh? This is..."

Jia She stretched out his hand, and slowly took the cricket out of the box, but it turned out to be a fake insect carved out of black jade, its wings were polished very thin, and it could tremble slightly when picked up.

Linghu Chunshui asked: "King Pu'an came here to see this thing? Is it not broken?"

Jia She put the fake cricket on the table, picked up the box that contained it and smashed it, saying, "It's broken!"

Linghu Chunshui said displeased: "A brat! What does he mean, he says I can't do it as soon as he goes out!"

Jia She glanced at Linghu Chunshui, and said, "He's right! Where did the crickets come from in such a cold day? He pulled me in for so long, yet you didn't doubt it, and stood outside motionless... "

Linghu Chunshui looked at Jia She with hatred, and gritted his teeth: "I thought you had something to do, I was afraid that coming in would disturb your good business!"

Jia She sighed, "What good can happen? His cricket is broken, please fix it for him, otherwise he won't be happy when he comes back..."
