Assassin A

Fifteen went back to his room, did not lock the door, but closed the door.

Exhaling a long breath, he slowly untied his outer robe and took off some water to wash his face and hands.Although the hut they lived in was simple, and there were no decorations in the room except for necessities such as beds, tables, chairs and small cabinets, but he felt very good and comfortable.

In Xuanji Camp, everyone can sleep soundly.There are beds and quilts.Moreover, there is no need to shrink to a certain beam, or tree branch, or grass, so Shiwu feels very happy.

There is a unified brazier in the room. Although there is only one, he thinks it is enough.Xuanjiying's quilt is thick enough, much stronger than Hongjie's.

Thinking of this, Shiwu wiped off his hands and face, went to the table and poured a glass of water to drink.

According to the adults, his next work will be in the city.Well, let's see if I have free time to visit the new house of Sister Hong and Fourth Brother, of course, secretly.

Just thinking that with the gold gifted by the King of Qingnan, the two old spies could buy some herbs to recuperate their bodies, when Thirty'er rushed in like a whirlwind.

With a hearty smile: "What reward did your lord give you? Hurry up and share it."

"For a two-day vacation, you can go and ask the adults if you can share it with me every day."

Thirty'er's face fell down: "I don't want to die yet!" Then he whispered: "My lord is so stingy."

Fifteen frowned and quickly made a silent gesture, glanced outside the door, and shook his head.Sure enough, no footsteps were heard, and the door opened again, it was nineteen.

I saw him holding a small tray in his hand, with a moon-white fine porcelain tea bowl on it, with a smile on his face: "Fifteen, my lord's reward." It’s been a long time since I’ve been there, so I’ll tidy myself up in these two days when I’m back, don’t forget the rules of the camp if you’ve been sloppy in the south for a long time, second uncle’s whip doesn’t look good.”

Nodded at fifteen: "I would like to follow your lord's instructions, thank you for your reward."

Nineteen smiled again, and then went.

Thirty'er looked at the things on the plate and opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask.The people in Xuanji Camp can play and make trouble, but they never ask each other about their jobs.This is also a rule.

Shocked by this incident, Thirty'er knew that Master Li would not reward a teacup for nothing, there must be something hidden in it.It was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, so he just told Fifteen a few more words that the pine nut candy he brought was delicious, and he also withdrew.

Shiwu raised his hand to touch the tea bowl rewarded by Mr. Li, and there was a fan on the plate.He sighed silently in his heart, originally he wanted to sell the tea bowl and fan given by King Qingnan for some pocket money, but this is great, it turns out that the adults are very clear about what rewards he got there.

Turning around, he went to the small cabinet to take out his own baggage, and took out the carefully wrapped things.

Are there people from the Xuanji Camp in Qingnan Palace?Ordinarily, it is impossible, I don't see who is missing in the camp.Scratching my head, forget it, don’t want to.With the ability of an adult, he has no chance to guess it.

A little sad, he put the tea bowl and fan given to him by King Qingnan on a small plate.

such a pity!The items rewarded by Mr. Li must never be sold, and the pocket money is gone...

He took his things and went to Li Zan's yard again.

This time he was not allowed to enter the house, and a servant picked him up and sent him in directly.

Standing outside the door, I could hear bursts of laughter in the room, and a crisp voice said: "Hey, the porcelain from the Southern Region is also good, but I don't know what the sound will be when it is smashed."

Master Li said with a low smile: "Then let's hear if you smash it."

"Clap!"

"Not nice!"

Fifteen heard the slight change in his expression outside, feeling extremely regretful in his heart.Although I don't know about these porcelain things, the things used by the feudal princes of the Southern Regions can't be bad, right?

Suddenly I heard the sound of "thrilling, stabbing" again, and then the same person said, "It's interesting to tear the fan up."

At this time, the servant came out again, "My lord has ordered you to go back."

Shiwu clasped his fists and said: "Yes! This subordinate will leave." When he turned around, he glanced out of the corner of his eyes, and there was a torn fan next to the debris on the ground.

After resting for two days, he supervised Cen Shilang of the Ministry of Industry.

It's an easy job.An ordinary official's mansion is not much different from a private house in Shiwu.The few symbolic guards were nothing more than sturdier boys, and he didn't even bother to find hidden corners.Change the position anytime and anywhere, listen to the corner, sneak into the study to read the memorial when Shilang Cen is out anytime and anywhere.

This servant Cen has a good character.

Just looking at the expenses at home, you can tell that he is a relatively clean official.

So it's New Year's Eve.Every household is a family reunion, and even Xuanjiying can steal half a day of leisure.

Fifteen returned to the camp with a large piece of mincemeat rice cake from a time-honored dim sum shop in the capital. He wanted to treat himself well today.Well, there are many fruit ingredients in the rice cake, such as peach kernels, melon kernels, various candied fruit and red and green fruit strips.

When the rice cake is cold, it is very hard, like a brick. You must set up an iron grate on the charcoal basin, brush it with a little oil, cut it into a large slice and bake it slowly. When one side turns brown, pick it up with a dagger. Turn around.

Fifteen moved a small stool and sat beside him, staring seriously at the rice cake that was about to be baked.

Poke it with a dagger, um, it's ready to eat.

The golden-yellow soft rice cakes were faintly visible with brightly colored preserved fruits, which made his index finger move wildly.Take a bite, it's fragrant, sticky and sweet...it's delicious!

The rice cake was very hot, Shiwu's mouth was pursed into a circle, sucking in air, and his tongue rolled back and forth in his mouth.Um!This style is what you want to eat rice cakes!

Satisfied, take another bite, comfortable!

Unfortunately, when he was baking the second piece, Thirty's nose stuck in.

"rice cake!"

Fifteen hurriedly pressed his fingers on his lips to signal: "Shh~~"

Unfortunately, it's too late.

When Nineteen was ordered to recruit Fifteen, he was shocked when he entered the room!

In a room, at least a dozen Xuanjiying assassins sat around the brazier in a very serious manner, standing or squatting, their sharp blade-like gazes all focused on the few pieces of baked rice cakes sizzling on the grate.

"Ten, fifteen, Mr. Li will pass it on to you."

The faces of the other assassins coincided with a hazy smile of "eliminated a strong opponent".

Fifteen stood up silently, and said coldly, "I bought rice cakes. You guys, remember to save a piece for me."

The assassins said one after another: "Definitely."

The New Year's Eve in Prince Geng's Mansion was relatively quiet.

Although King Geng Li Zan was sixteen in his twenties, he never married a concubine, and his concubines had two wives, but it was just for show.The outside world's criticisms of Li Zan are mostly gentle and refined, and some people say that he has a heart of snakes and scorpions.

Fifteen never took such a contrasting evaluation to heart.For him, and for everyone in Xuanji Camp, Li Zan is Master Li, their master, and the person they swear allegiance to.

When he arrived at the yard, he was not notified, and was directly led in by the servant.

There was a banquet in the room, and there was only one person on the banquet, looking at him with a smile: "Come and eat with me."

Fifteen clapped his hands together and saluted: "Of order." He sat down directly opposite Li Zan, picked up his chopsticks and unceremoniously picked up some of everything and ate them, then put down his chopsticks, "It is non-toxic, please rest assured to eat."

Li Zan was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "Okay!" With a wave of his hand, the steward brought a small square plate covered with a red cloth.

"Your Majesty rewarded you with Lai See."

Fifteen took a step back from the table, knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Sir, for the reward."

Li Zan waved his hand again with a smile, and when the manager left the room, he walked up to Shiwu himself, bent down and supported his arm: "Get up." Say something auspicious."

"Uh..." Caiyuan Guangjin?Promotion and nobility?None of these seem to work!Fifteen scratched the wall in his heart, "Uh..." What?Have!

"I wish you peace and prosperity, and longevity to Nanshan!"

Li Zan's hand never let go of his arm, and now he pinched it even harder: "Now that I've talked about Shoubi Nanshan, when it's my birthday, what else can you say?"

"bounty happiness."

Master Li, who was choked, paused for a moment and ignored, "Come, sit down and eat."

Fifteen ate with him for a while, and he didn't know the rhetoric of celebrating the festivals and occasions, so he just ate hard.Master Li will eat whatever he puts in his pockets, and he will drink whatever soup he serves.

After all, he couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly knelt down again: "My lord, this subordinate has been hiding something."

Li Zan raised his eyebrows, "What's the matter?"

Fifteen heads hung extremely low, and told about the hundred taels of gold bestowed by the King of Qingnan.

"Oh? It's nothing. He rewarded you because you saved his life, just keep it." Li Zan raised his foot and raised his chin with the toe of his boot: "Keep your gold away, The so-called wealth is not exposed, understand?"

"Subordinate..." Fifteen hesitated for a moment, but habit outweighed selfishness. The most important rule of Xuanji's camp was not to hide anything from Master Li.

"The gold obtained by the subordinates has been distributed to Ah Hong and Chu Si."

"Why?"

"The return to Beijing this time exposed their residence. The two seniors live in poverty, and the fourth day of junior high school is the master of the subordinates. Sister Hong has always taken care of the subordinates, so this money is all regarded as the filial piety of the apprentices and juniors."

Li Zan smiled slightly, hooked his fingers and asked him to stand up, "The Xuanji Camp has its own arrangements for the spies and assassins who have gone down, and they will definitely take care of them properly. Since these two people, as you said, have personal kindness in them , then let’s not argue with you this time. Fifteen, do you still remember the No. 14 of the camp regulations?”

Formation of parties for personal gain is prohibited!

Fifteen gritted his teeth, "Please punish me, my lord."

Li Zan nodded: "Naturally. But it's Chinese New Year's Eve, I don't want to disturb the quietness of my second uncle. Fifteen ah fifteen, don't do it again in the future, remember?"

"Yes! Follow the teachings of adults."

Li Zan smiled, stood up and entered the inner room for a while, and came out with an extra thin leather whip in his hand, which was swarthy.

Fifteen took off his outer robe calmly, and turned his back in only his middle coat, "My lord, please!"

But Li Zan went around to his front, and stroked the whip with his fingers until it reached the tip: "There are only six whips, for you to remember, after all, it's Chinese New Year, let's try to make it smooth."

The steward guarding outside the room heard the whipping sound coming from inside, gritted his teeth, and peeked at the figure cast on the door and window.But seeing Fifteen standing upright, after six whips, the prince came over and tapped him on the chest with the handle of the whip: "Do you have a long memory?"

Fifteen's shadow lowered his head: "Subordinates, remember."

"Does it hurt?"

"The punishment that subordinates should be punished does not hurt."

The steward heard the prince chuckle: "I know you like mincemeat rice cakes, but the one in your room has probably been eaten up?"

The person in charge immediately waved his hand, and immediately a servant brought a plate of rice cakes fried to a golden and crispy color, took it, pushed the door open, and saluted respectfully: "My lord."

"This is made by the mansion itself, and it is better than the ingredients outside. You should try it too."

Fifteen's scalp was numb, and the blood on his chest was already negligible. Now he could only open his mouth and bite the rice cake that Master Li personally fed to his mouth.

It's a pity to be fed by adults... For him, honey can also become a bitter medicine.

Li Zan glanced at the oil stain on his fingertips, raised his hand to wipe on Shiwu's chest, heard his gasp in satisfaction, and smiled: "How am I treating you?"

"it is good!"

Li Zan raised his head and laughed, "Remember my kindness to you. That's fine, let's go down."

The steward immediately picked up the lai see silver and fried rice cakes rewarded by the prince and retreated with him.Followed to the gate of the Xuanji Camp courtyard, and then handed it over to him.

"Fifteen, are there any rats in your yard?"

"No."

"Oh, the kitchen is in trouble."

After the uncle in charge left, Shiwu finally relaxed.He secretly thanked this uncle for his reminder, there must be rats, and this is what he fears most about Mr. Li.

Don't try to hide anything from adults, adults know everything.

fear!Why does he always feel like a frog being targeted by a poisonous snake when facing adults?

back to the room.

The people had already dispersed, and a piece of rice cake the size of a thumb was lying quietly in the middle of the greased paper wrapping the rice cake on the table.

Fifteen held back and held back, and finally couldn't help laughing.These bastards!

Hastily applied some medicinal powder to the wound on his chest, took off his robe and changed into night clothes, put his hands flat on the table, and sat quietly in a dark room without candles.

When the first firework in the front yard was lifted into the sky, he finally moved.

Candies for the third day, biscuits for the eleventh day, sauced meat for the fifth day, and candied fruit for the 24th day.When he tried to sneak into the first room to continue, he only heard the elder brother sigh quietly: "Let's go together, how about it? I'm relatively poor this year, so I didn't buy private goods."

"what?"

On the first day of the lunar new year, he said sadly: "Master Li has been transferred back to me, and the foreigner of Prince Xiao's residence is gone."

"Oh."

On New Year's Eve, the table for the New Year's Eve dinner on the last fifteenth day is very rich.Although there is a first day of junior high school to share, but the first day of junior high school is not as good as some people.

The two also exchanged opinions in a low voice, and agreed that 22's sleeping appearance was the ugliest.

On the first day of the lunar new year, he licked the candied sugar powder on his fingers, "Nineteen is not in the room."

Fifteen flipped over the heated rice cakes on the small iron grate with a dagger: "Well, do you know that there are rats in our yard?"

First day: "..."
