Merry Jiwei

People say that fireworks will go down in Yangzhou in March. Although it is a snowy night at this time, the waterway of the Caoyun River is still very busy.The large and small ships stretched for several miles, and all kinds of official ships were mixed in it. It was completely beyond our imagination for a while, and it was impossible to see which official ship lived with the current empress dowager.

The cold wind blowing on the banks of the Caoyun River, I smiled and said, "My imperial grandma likes to do unexpected things the most. Since she visits in secret, she may not be on an official ship."

Hu Bugui scanned the dozens of passenger ships in front of him, and said, "Could it be that the Empress Dowager will take an ordinary passenger ship?"

I laughed and said, "Grandma Huang is so honorable, how can she take an ordinary passenger boat?"

Hu Bugui sneered, turned his head and said understandingly: "Luxury merchant ship!"

In the dark, I smiled at him.

The moonlight in the snowy night has a kind of nobleness, the distance is Bailu Hengjiang, the sparks on the official ship are like wild, I am wearing a simple white robe, from top to bottom, but there is a palace belt around the waist, the attire is extremely simple.

Not to mention Hu Bugui's appearance.Dressed in black, like a little thief, but I don't know why, I have a feeling that suddenly only he and I are left in the world, and the two of them are walking in the courtyard. , covered with bamboo and cypress shadows.

"Let's find them separately!" I said.

As soon as I opened my mouth, Hu Bugui seemed to wake up with a start.He glanced at me, nodded his head, and said: "I found the code and let the other party know..." He looked up and saw a sparrow flying by in the sky, so he said by the way: "Just croak... croak... croak three times! "

"Not good!" I shook my head firmly.

"What's wrong?" Hu Bugui was taken aback.

"I like Goo... Goo... Goo!"

Hu Bugui took a deep breath and said helplessly, "As you wish!"

As soon as he finished speaking, I tapped my toes lightly, but after a few taps on the water, it floated far away. My other kung fu is so-so, but this light kung fu is completely brilliant.A luxurious merchant ship sounds easy, but it is not easy to find it.

"Master, no, please don't..."

A woman's begging for mercy came from the window. I gently scratched the window paper with my index finger, and I couldn't help getting angry at a glance.

I saw an old man of six or seventy years old holding a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old tightly.Look at the girl holding the lacquer plate in her hand, dressed like a girl, with tears on her face, she is really pitiful.

"You are so beautiful, why bother to be a lowly maidservant? Look at your little hands..." The old man was blushing obviously because he drank a few more glasses, and he took the girl's hand up and down, touching it with great joy.The poor girl cried so much that she didn't dare to speak loudly.

Ben Wang took out a veil and covered his face, pushed the door open and smiled at the old man: "Do you think I am beautiful..."

The old man probably thought who the king made the offering, but he didn't panic, let go of the little maidservant's hand, and said with a smile: "You cover it up so tightly, how can I ask my lord to guess..."

I waved my hand, and the little maid hurriedly picked up the lacquer box and ran away in a panic.

The old man was about to pounce on me, but I raised my hand to stop him.The old man looked at the most beautiful part of my body, drooling with greed.

I flipped my hand in front of him, and said with a smile, "Do you want to kiss me..."

"Think, think!" The old man was drunk, full of daring, and rushed towards me with one hand.

In a flash, I walked around to the other side of the table.But the old man was not an ordinary person, he rushed up suddenly, his fingers were like hooks, and he grabbed it.Even if I was fast enough, he tore off a piece of my shirt.

I grinned and said, "Eunuch Hu, you are so impatient..."

No matter how drunk the old man was, he seemed to wake up all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth and said: "You are..."

Hu Bugui probably didn't expect that this lecherous old man was actually a father-in-law, so he chuckled outside, seeing that I was at a disadvantage, he opened the window and jumped in from the window.

The old man was even more surprised, he was surprised and angry, and said: "Who are you?!"

Hu Bugui stood up, and said angrily, "What a bold thief, how dare you molested my wife!"

He folded the fan and the old man had to let me go.The two teamed up to attack, Hu Gonggong probably had some doubts about my identity, so I was caught by Hu Bugui in such a short time.

Hu Bugui suppressed Eunuch Hu and said, "Say, what should you do!"

"Your wife..." Eunuch Hu looked puzzled.

I sobbed at the side: "Master, you have to make the decision for me, and you must not let him go lightly!"

Hu Bugui saw that my singing and writing were excellent, and he was even more proud: "Yes, you must not let me go lightly! If you can..."

"If you can come up with 1 taels of silver, then I will spare you!" Before he finished speaking, I had already cut in and said decisively.

Hu Bugui obviously thought he had caught a father-in-law, so he naturally wanted to ask Yuan Lin's whereabouts.Who knew that I didn't ask the prince's whereabouts, but lay there and blackmailed him, and I couldn't help being stunned.

Eunuch Hu's eyes showed suspicion, but he said in his mouth: "Yes, yes!"

"Take it out!"

"In the box next to my bed!"

I walked over to the bedside and searched out the box, then turned my head and said, "Key!"

"Here... here!" Eunuch Hu glanced at the steel knife hidden in the folding fan and said, "Can this strong man please take the knife away?"

I smiled, reached into his neck and groped for a while, as if I got something, I pulled it hard.I saw a bronze key in his hand, with a broken red thread attached to it. It was obvious that Eunuch Hu had put the key on a string and put it around his neck.

Eunuch Hu's complexion was rather ugly.Although he is a third-rank eunuch, he works in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and everyone fawns over him. He probably never thought of being blackmailed, but he has scruples and dare not mess around.

I opened the box, and there was a pile of gold and silver jewelry inside, and a stack of thick silver bills.I flipped through it unceremoniously, took out a piece of cloth from my arms, poured down all the things inside and wrapped it up again.

When Eunuch Hu saw it, his eyelids couldn't help twitching.This kind of good things that go out with the queen mother and donate from all over the world are very rare. He has gained a lot this time, and he just drank a few more drinks because he was in a happy mood. Unexpectedly, a robber came out halfway and swept all his things. entry.

The money was robbed, although he was usually calm and calm, he was also heartbroken at this moment, so he couldn't think of other strategies.

"You, didn't you say that you only need 1 taels of silver..." Eunuch Hu trembled.

"I've changed my mind!" I laughed, and as soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly raised my leg and swept it, hitting Eunuch Hu's temple,

Hu Bugui was taken aback, he didn't expect that I would suddenly attack.He usually lived a reckless life, and he regarded human life as nothing, but when he saw me robbing money and killing people, he said angrily, "Is the empress dowager's boat nearby?"

I laughed and said: "If the queen mother is here, how dare Eunuch Hu be so bold? Isn't he afraid that the head above him will be chopped off like the head below him? Even I dare not mess around like this... ..." I was talking and laughing, I don't know why I suddenly remembered something, and I glanced at Hu Bugui.

Hu Bugui's appearance is really not handsome, his face is green and there are some stubbles, but there is a kind of chic and open-mindedness of a man in this unrestrained temperament.

I don't know why, but I feel a little hot on my face.

"Then he doesn't know the prince's whereabouts?" Hu Bugui asked after him.Through a layer of veil, he naturally didn't know that I blushed just now.

"He is just a third-rank chief eunuch. What can he know with such a rank? If the prince brother is still alive, he must be kept in secret. Grandma Huang has wanted to kill him for a long time. She doesn't even know when it will change. idea!"

Hu Bugui yelled, and couldn't help but said impatiently: "Then you are still playing around here?!"

"I can't find Brother Prince, so what's the harm in messing around?" I said nonchalantly.

Hu Bugui couldn't help being speechless for a while, he probably has always been unrestrained, carefree about everything, he does what he wants, he doesn't know what is urgent and what is the top priority, so he can develop this unrestrained and unrestrained temperament.

But now I see him impatient, thinking that a man is seeking fame and fame, so it would be difficult not to be impatient for such a good opportunity, I just heard him hold back his breath and said: "Then what should we do now?"

I opened my eyes wide, and said as a matter of course: "Brother Prince is not here, we killed someone again, so naturally we escaped earlier!"

Hu Bugui took a deep breath and said with a smile, "That's right, let's all go back and rest earlier!"

After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the window, but I suddenly said behind him: "Are you coming to see me tomorrow?"

Hu Bugui didn't answer, but listened to the second part of my sentence: "If I find out some news, I need you to help me think about it..."

He couldn't help but pause, and said with a smile, "See you tomorrow!" After speaking, he walked away without looking back.

I looked back at the corpse on the ground, lowered my head slightly, kicked my foot, and Eunuch Hu's corpse flew onto the bed.

I found an ordinary eunuch's clothes, put it on my body, put on the hat, lowered my head and opened the door to go out.Eunuch Hu's floor seemed relatively deserted. Obviously, he had taken a fancy to the little maid, deliberately bullied her, and sent her away on purpose to make it easier for him to attack.

On the lower two floors of the cabin, there were significantly more guards, so I took a plate of fruit from the side hall and walked forward.The guards along the road saw that it was the eunuch delivering fruit, but they didn't stop me.

The further down the cabin, the more heavily guarded it is, especially the stern, which can be said to be heavily guarded.I frowned, hesitated for a moment, and walked forward boldly.

"Stop!" The guard shouted, "Who told you to come!"

"Eunuch Hu ordered the little one to bring some food to the people inside."

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "But..."

I said arrogantly: "Our father-in-law said, everything is the meaning of the superior!"

The guards of the royal family are well versed in the way of being an official. Even a small guard knows what this sentence means, and then he laughed and said, "Don't be upset, my father-in-law, I will let you go!"

I ignored him, and walked into the back room proudly carrying the plate.The lights in the house are like beans, the light is not very bright, but there is a table banquet under the lights, my complexion changed, only to hear someone laughing: "I have been thinking about when you will come, send Wei."

A tall and tall man came out from the darkness of the corner. This man was dressed like a prince, wearing a black brocade robe with the rolled up sleeves revealing the royal brocade inside.

This man was tall and thin, not to mention handsome.But with eagle eyes and hooked eyebrows, there is a sense of a city mansion, and there is also a kind of sedate and mature masculine charm.

My heart skipped a beat, unexpectedly, it was Zhuang Zhongting, the grandson of Uncle Guo, the power minister at the time.I wasn't shy either, after being surprised, I turned my face and smiled and said, "So it's my cousin, could it be that my uncle is here too?"

Zhuang Zhongting didn't answer me, just stretched out his hand and said slowly, "Sit down, I know you're hungry!"

I'm not polite either, I took my seat openly.Zhuang Zhongting went around half the table and sat beside me, poured half a glass of wine for me, and said, "Try the crystal elbow from Changbai House and the Furong chicken from Jiangnv House. I bought it. The steamed mango fish and aloe vera wings are freshly made, but the fish is very fresh. I ordered people from the south to replace them with four bloody horses, and wrapped them in ice cubes. of."

I ate one piece after another, he spoke fast, and I ate fast.Zhuang Zhongting kept pouring wine for me, and between coming and going, that hand always brushed against the back of my hand slightly, and every time he brushed across the back of my hand, his pupils would shrink involuntarily.

I drank my third glass of wine, and half of the dishes on the table had been swept away.Putting down the wine glass, I smiled and said, "Cousin's food and drinks are really good, but I'm afraid that Yuan Bao will be worried if I go back late. So..."

Zhuang Zhongting didn't seem to hear my words, but looked me up and down, and said, "I never thought that a prince wearing eunuch clothes...so charming...Wei Wei, you are so charming!"

I frowned and said with a smile: "If cousin doesn't want to call me cousin, then there is nothing wrong with calling me Lord Jin."

Zhuang Zhongting blinked and said, "You don't like me calling you Weiwei?"

I smiled slightly and said, "It's really disgusting!"

While we were talking, we almost moved hands at the same time.It's just that my purpose is to leave, but Zhuang Zhongting wants to keep people.With each move, Zhuang Zhongting had already grabbed my wrist.

Zhuang Zhongting stroked my wrist and said hoarsely, "Jiwei, did you not realize that it was me on board?"

I struggled a bit, but didn't shake off the iron-like hands, I couldn't help frowning: "Let go!"

Zhuang Zhongting smiled and said, "It's not only the Fourteenth Prince who likes to give people big pearls, sometimes I will also send one or two packets. Especially..." He pressed against my ear, the hissing sound in my voice echoed in my ears. It sounded like a rattlesnake wagging its tail, and he said, "Especially when you can be fooled!"

"So you deliberately put Eunuch Hu in danger!" I suddenly realized.

Zhuang Zhongting said: "An eunuch with a heartless heart, I have seen him unhappy for a long time. I know the Nineteenth Prince doesn't like this person either, right? Killing him, does my Jiwei feel very happy?" Feel!"

I smiled and said, "It's true that I'm in a good mood, but it's not enough if you want me to be cheerful..."

Zhuang Zhongting looked at my collar, his eyes seemed to have seen through the shirt and saw the skin underneath me, which made me feel goose bumps for no reason.He smiled lightly and said, "Then I can try other ways to make you feel better! Jiwei, this is Yangzhou, not the capital city, so we don't have to have too many scruples."

I laughed and said, "I'm afraid you don't know how to cheer me up."

"Oh, then how can I be happy with my post?"

"Let's talk about the prince!"

Zhuang Zhongting smiled coldly and said, "I didn't expect you to be more sincere to your second brother than others!"

When he spoke, his face got closer and closer. I slightly avoided smiling and said, "Otherwise, how can I gain his trust? You and I are just thinking the same way. You must know that this game of chess will not go to the end, and no one will know. Winner. And betting your entire fortune in the first place is kind of unwise, isn't it?"

Zhuang Zhongting's gaze fell directly on my neckline, not knowing what he was thinking.My words seemed to pass by his ears, and none of my words fell into his ears.

After a while, Zhuang Zhongting finally said hoarsely: "Let me try it first, can it make my Wei Wei feel refreshed!"

He leaned forward slightly as he spoke.No matter how clever I am, I just feel that my body is being suppressed by Zhuang Zhongting, unable to move a single bit, so I just laughed dryly and said: "Zhuang Shizi, this is not good for your concubine Shizi!"

Zhuang Zhongting looked down at me, and said after a long time: "You are still angry about this...Although I married a concubine, my favorite is still Wei Wei!" After speaking, he lowered his head and wanted to kiss my face.

But before Zhuang Zhongting touched me, he felt a cool breeze in the back of his head.He turned around very quickly, only to see a cold light passing by in front of his eyes, just turning and dodging like this, he had no choice but to leave my side.

There was a scruffy young man in the cabin.Seeing me smiling, Zhuang Zhongting glanced at the young man, which seemed to make Zhuang Zhongting feel that there was something different about intimacy.

"You are so brave, dare to assassinate the crown prince! Come on!" Zhuang Zhongting shouted angrily with his face livid.

But he just yelled, and I quickly interrupted: "Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, he is...he is my follower."

"Follower?" Zhuang Zhongting looked at the scruffy young man and said coldly, "What's your name!"

The visitor hesitated for a moment, then said, "My name is Yuan Bao!"

Zhuang Zhongting sneered and said, "Are you Yuan Bao?"

I hurriedly added a sentence, saying: "He is Jin... Jin Yuanbao!"

Zhuang Zhongting's face was livid, and said: "Jiwei, I didn't know you took such a big servant."

Apart from being a bit of a bad character, this cousin of mine is actually not too bad. You have to be talented, you have to be good-looking, and you have a lot of status and status, but the most unbearable thing is that you are too self-righteous.Every time I see him, I am afraid to avoid him, but he just thinks that I am playing hard-to-catch with him, which is why he vomits blood and dies.

I smiled and said, "My son, I'm here to look for the second brother. You also understand Jiwei's difficulties. After all, the crown prince went out with me. Now that he's gone, Jiwei must be to blame!"

Zhuang Zhongting said indifferently: "Jiwei seems to have a heart for everyone, but in fact not many really do, but he is sincere to the prince. Don't worry, the queen mother has brought the prince back."

I breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the queen mother's killing intent just went around in my heart and went back.

Zhuang Zhongting took a deep breath and said, "I think Jiwei won't eat my meal."

I smiled slightly and said, "Eat, why don't you eat!"

It would be a pity not to eat it, how could I miss the good thing of eating for nothing.

When my mind was over, I sat down vigorously and ate more happily than before.Unexpectedly, Hu Bugui didn't invite himself in. Under Zhuang Shizi's gloomy gaze, his chopsticks could fly up and down, a bit faster than mine. This king has to admire.

After dinner, I said goodbye to Zhuang Zhongting.Zhuang Shizi said, "Jiwei seems to like my rice very much."

I smiled and said, "My cousin's food has always been the most particular among the royal family and nobles, and there are many people who like it."

Zhuang Shizi said again: "But I prefer to invite Jiwei to dinner. How about this, you know that my family has built a new house, and you move in to live with us. When you were young, my father asked you to come with us Live together."

It's true.But before I lived there, my uncle collected all the antique calligraphy and paintings carefully collected by my father.If he moved there, I'm afraid Jinwang Mansion would have been sold by him long ago.

Back then, I didn't know why, but I was so blessed that I took the Queen Mother's hand and said, "Grandma, uncle is too fierce, grandson wants to live with you."

The empress dowager's grandma sighed and said, "Forget it, just live with me!"

As soon as the empress dowager spoke, my uncle had no choice but to give up.I'm only sorry for the carriages he hired, I heard there are dozens of them.

In fact, how many years can I stay in the palace?He moved out when he was ten years old, and when he heard Zhuang Zhongting's old story brought up again, the king could only smile slightly, pretending to be false.

Do you want me, a celebrity with a false name, to offend a real celebrity?

I glanced at Hu Bugui lightly, and Quan used him as a shield.The person next to him is still shaking his fan, he has no idea that I have sold him at this glance, I think he is probably still wondering why Shizi smiled at him sinisterly.

Hu Bugui and I walked out the door, we smiled slightly and said, "The moonlight is very good!"

Hu Bugui was puzzled, frowned and patted his fan: "The sky is dark and the wind is strong, where can we see the moonlight?"

Only when the moon is dark and the wind is high can people kill people, I smiled slightly.

Hu Bugui bid farewell to me, turned around and left. It seemed that he was not very polite, but this king appreciates his style.

His light work is not bad, I followed from a distance, but it took some energy to keep up.

There was the sound of clothes blowing into the air in the wind, I think Zhuang Shizi is indeed a man with a quick temper.

Hu Bugui was suddenly surrounded by people in the middle of the night, and he looked quite surprised.I saw him groaning in the wind for a while, and then I started reporting names, and I reported more than a dozen names in one breath.I was taken aback, I didn't expect there were so many enemies here.

The man in black didn't answer, Hu Bugui let out a long sigh, and said, "I didn't expect that I, Hu Bugui, can see things clearly, and I have an unknown enemy!"

That's right, I just recruited you, I said with a smile in my stomach.

Zhuang Zhongting is narrow-minded and thinks highly of himself. I would rather look at such a poor man than look at him too much, asking him how to bear it.

Naturally, the man in black didn't answer. They were all royal guards, so they couldn't control the sadness of a Jianghu man who died for no apparent reason.

As soon as they were in formation, they rushed forward.

The guards trained by the dealer always think that if there are more people, they will be stronger together, so they like to form a pile. Anyone with better physical skills can make them mess up for a while.

Hu Bugui's physical skills were excellent naturally, but the guards were also experienced, so they quickly adjusted and came up wave after wave.

Hu Bugui is like a small boat in the raging wind and waves, which seems to be in danger of being overturned at any time, but has a kind of freedom and chicness of drifting with the tide.As a result, the king was distracted while sitting on the tree, forgetting that he was here to be a hero to save the beauty.

The guards couldn't attack for a long time, but they were broken again and again. One of them suddenly took out a pyrotechnic tube from his arms. I immediately took off the jade pendant on my official sash and swung it out, knocking the pyrotechnic tube in his hand into the air.

The dealer has plenty of money, and he has as many guards as a cow. I don't want him to recruit a large group of guards.

I jumped down from the tree, Hu Bugui looked weird, and after a while he couldn't help but said: "You recruited these men in black, right?"

With a flash of my footsteps, this Hu Bugui is not stupid.Unexpectedly, he went on to say: "You have taken away all the most valuable things on my body! You can keep these shoes if you don't think they smell bad. I will never take off my clothes!"

I feigned anger and said, "You are too ignorant of good and evil!"

Hu Bugui laughed loudly, and with his sword's power rising, he pushed back the man in black with me.The two of them rushed with all their strength and ran for more than ten miles in one breath before throwing away the pursuers behind them.

Hu Bugui gasped, smiled and said: "Happy!" He turned to look at me and said, "Your lord looks annoying at first, but after watching it a lot, you're quite likable."

I snorted disdainfully, I Jin Wang Yuanying has always been loved by everyone in Xixia, so why do you need to tell me.

You didn't see my goodness before, but if you see more, you will naturally like me.
