Merry Eunuch Lang

The bandit leader asked: "Is everything you said true?"

The little eunuch replied: "My mother is a precious treasure in my hands, but it is worthless in your hands. Why should I lie to you?"

The boss said, "Do you have anything valuable on your body? Use it as a mortgage, and there is nothing to say."

The little eunuch groped for a long time, but couldn't find anything decent.He has lived in the palace for many years, and he has not developed the habit of spending money. He thought that the supply system was implemented in the whole world, and he didn't need money to buy food and clothes.Hearing that the thief wanted valuable things, it suddenly occurred to me that money is what is needed in this world.Suddenly he touched the piece of jade hanging around his neck, which was given to him by Uer Sultan as a souvenir when he broke up. almost.I'm in a hurry today, I can't take care of a lot, so I take it out to fill up the number first.He took off the jade and threw it to the boss, and asked:

"Is this okay?"

The boss took it over and took a closer look, then shook his head and said, "How much is a piece of broken stone worth if you paint it with some color? No, you can't get half a sack of rice. You can look for it again and see what else is there." ?” Having said that, he still stuffed the piece of jade into his arms.

It's not that the thief is blind, but that he doesn't know how to do it at all.This jade is a piece of pure red coral, its size, texture, color, shape, shape, etc. are all high-quality, not to mention priceless, 1000 taels of silver may not be able to buy it.

The little eunuch was so anxious that he was furious, and he deliberately rode over to catch the bandit so that he could rescue the empress dowager immediately.But after thinking about it, I was afraid of beating the grass and startling the snake. If they don't fight you hard, they twist their buttocks and run away, and get into the dense forest. Where are you going to ask for someone?When he was at a loss, the little eunuch remembered the "Shangfang Dagger" bestowed by the little emperor, which is a life-threatening treasure!If Wang Shugui finds trouble again, maybe with this kind of thing, he can resist for a while.Now, in order to save people, he also went all out.Of course, he didn't dare to say and there was no need to tell the thief that it was given by the emperor.

The boss looked at the treasured sword several times, nodded and said very expertly: "This is about the same, and it is worth two dollars. The blade is also sharp, but it is a little short, otherwise it can be used as a weapon. Well, I think you are an honest man. I won't make things difficult for you anymore. If your old lady wasn't for us, those bandits would have buried her long ago. Don't forget this life-saving grace. We pay both people and goods, but you have to keep your horse. We are suffering in this mountain. I’m used to it, I’m not going to go to the city with you to enjoy the blessings, you take your old lady and leave, and don’t bother us in the future.”

This greedy fellow!The little eunuch cursed in his heart, but the queen mother has been settled, and he finally fell to the ground with a stone.Then again, compared with the empress dowager, these things are very different.

The little eunuch got off his horse, and the horse was led by the bandits.After walking along the twisting and winding mountain road for about an hour, I saw a few dilapidated earthen cave dwellings.But seeing the smoke curling up from the kitchen, and hearing the crowing of chickens and the barking of dogs, it is clear that there is someone else.Without someone leading the way, it would be difficult for ordinary people to discover this mysterious place. Several strangely dressed women at the "village entrance" danced happily when they saw their "team" return in triumph.A mountain dweller pointed to a cave dwelling and said:

"Go in, your old lady is inside."

The light in the cave was very dim, and the little eunuch squinted his eyes and searched carefully for a long time before he saw a person lying in the haystack.Unkempt, disheveled, disheveled, face yellow as paper, and bony, how does this look like a royal mother who is the queen mother and rich in the world?She is clearly an old beggar in a poor land.

The little eunuch fell to the ground, knelt on both knees, two lines of hot tears rolled down, choked with sobs and yelled, saying:

"Mother, my son is here to save you!"

Tong Biyu heard someone calling her in a trance, she quickly opened her eyes and took a closer look, and it took a long time to recognize it was the little eunuch.Immediately with mixed feelings, she couldn't help crying, put her arms around the little eunuch's head and face, and said in a mournful voice:

"Son, could this be in a dream?"

The little eunuch fixed the empress dowager on his back, like flying down the mountain.Before he left, he made an agreement with his boss: After seven days, he would exchange a cart of grain for the stone and the knife, and the horse would not be given up.The boss snickered secretly: Can such a fool get rich?Such an account can't be calculated and still do big business?These two things together are not worth a cart of food!Naturally, he promised with all his mouth, and also swore that anyone who made a slip of the tongue would be a pig and a dog!

The [-]-mile journey took five full days, during which time it was nothing more than begging for food and lodging, and even once or twice curled up in a small dilapidated temple to survive the cool autumn night.

Finally got to the capital, to the gate of the palace.

The little eunuch said, "Let us in quickly, this is the queen mother."

The guard laughed and said, "Queen Mother? Is there any evidence?"

The little queen dowager searched her whole body again, but in the end she did not produce a single piece of evidence of her identity.At last, impatient, he said, "You don't know how to recognize people?"

"What do you admit? It is a capital crime for an old beggar to pretend to be the queen mother. I don't care about it with you. Get lost! There is a small restaurant in front of you, and there may be leftovers such as soup."

"I'm Pan You'an, Grand Marshal, and the little eunuch, and you don't know him?" The little eunuch was at a loss for words, and brought out a lot of titles.

"You're an eunuch? That's new. Take off your pants and let me see. If you really don't have that thing, I can ask someone to fill it up for you."

Tong Biyu said: "An'er, stop talking to them. Let's go to your uncle's house."

Tong Shixian complained: "Why don't you ask for a gold medal from the emperor before you leave?"

Tong Shilu said: "It's useless to say that. The first thing to do is to go to the bandits to exchange for the treasured sword. There are exactly two days to get a carriage of food, and we will set off early tomorrow morning. The day after tomorrow will not waste time."

In the court hall, the little emperor asked the little eunuch, "My brother, you have been away for a few days, is there any news from the queen mother?"

The little eunuch shook his head.Seeing his expression, he clearly saw an imperceptible sneer on the corner of Wang Shigui's mouth in the civil servant class opposite.

"The queen mother is gone, are you still going back to the harem?" The little emperor asked again.

The little eunuch said, "I'm temporarily staying at General Tong's mansion."

The little emperor shouted: "Very well, after the next court, I will go to the uncle's house with you to play."

The little eunuch said, "I can't go."

"why?"

The little eunuch said, "General Tong's residence is no fun."

"Just go! It's fun when you're here." The little emperor said, then turned around and shouted to the deacon and eunuch, "Pass the decree, prepare the chariot, and drive to General Tong's mansion."

When the empress dowager saw her son crying, she cried, "My son, the empress is suffering!"

The little emperor smiled and said: "I have been looking for you everywhere, so it turns out that the queen mother is hiding at my uncle's house."

The queen mother said: "The emperor quickly issued an imperial decree, ordering the palace to prepare a phoenix chariot, and secretly enter the palace after receiving the mother."

"What's the secret? When the Empress Dowager returns to the palace, the sound of gongs and drums, the sound of firecrackers, and all the civil and military officials should welcome her. I am the emperor, who am I afraid of? Is it necessary to secretly pick up my mother back to the palace?"

"The emperor is obedient, it won't be too late to set off firecrackers after the queen mother enters the palace."

The little emperor didn't dare to be stubborn, and said: "Queen Mother, I will issue an order right now."
