Fu Shifeng

Chapter 42
There were only four people in Cheng Sanwu's party, but there were quite a few camels and horses accompanying him. Before that, he didn't think it was a big deal to be escorted by soldiers and horses from the Duhufu, but when he came to Guanzhong, he felt that there were not enough people.Su Wangting stayed up all night, and also took care of the camel caravan's cargo by the way.

Before leaving Quzhi City, Su Wangting dismissed many people from the Baochang Society, distributed some of the money to the people, and took away a batch of gold, silver and jewelry that were easy to carry, not only for his own use in the future, but also for the purpose of managing things when he returned to Chang'an. access.

Although the four of them were extraordinary people, Su Wangting always felt unsafe because they didn't have enough people to accompany them.He was still thinking about how to catch up with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, when he saw the post house servants serving meals, and plates of exquisite and small pastries were laid out on the table.

Such as the sweet and delicious cane milk bean cake, the oily and plump mutton liver, and the rich and fragrant minced chicken soup. There is no need to mention the rest of the red dates and sweet persimmons. It was arranged by someone.Even ordinary foreign officials would never imagine having such delicacies in a post house.

"Then I won't be polite." Seeing this, Cheng Sanwu smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and reached for the pastries on the table.

Mr. Changqing was not thinking about food, and asked Afu: "We just talked about the battle at Tianchi Shrine, how did you two defeat Ankty in the end?"

Afu rested her stomach in one hand, looked at Cheng Sanwu wolfing down with a smile on her face, and thought for a while when she heard Mr. Changqing's question: "I took advantage of the time you were fighting to enter the Divine Palace secretly. I originally planned to rob the Star Essence, Let Anguti's plan fail, but he set up defenses in advance, I can only hide in the hall, wait for him to escape back inside, and deal a fatal blow."

"But you didn't succeed." Mr. Changqing recalled Afu's disheveled appearance at the time, and guessed that she would not be able to please Ankuti.

A hint of unpredictability flashed in Afu's beautiful eyes, and she just said: "With the blessing of Antty's star marrow, I really couldn't take him down, and I was injured because of it. Fortunately, Cheng Sanwu came in time and saved my life."

"And then?" Mr. Changqing asked.

Afu kicked Cheng Sanwu under the table: "I'm asking you something."

"Didn't I just say that? Three punches killed Anguti because he didn't know how to beat him." Cheng Sanwu didn't care: "So what if you know magic spells? You can still eat my fists!"

Mr. Changqing was extremely helpless. Cheng Sanwu's stupidity was beyond imagination. It is estimated that he could not even explain how to break through the body protection spell and how to capture the opponent's limbs to prevent him from continuing to cast spells during the specific battle process. It would be useless to ask. .

"You guys are thinking too much, Angry Ti is dead, why do you care about him?" Seeing that Cheng Sanwu couldn't wait to move the pottery bowl full of soup to his face, picked it up and swallowed it, as if he didn't give a damn. The others left a little bit of oily momentum, and drank it all with their heads up and down.

"Not bad!"

Cheng Sanwu put down the empty pottery bowl, wiped his mouth: "Last night, I was exhausted from chasing and killing Anqiti in my dream. This chicken soup is very good, the meat is chopped and mashed, No bones, so you don't need to bite with your teeth."

"Do you like it?" Afu asked with a smile, "Do you still want to eat it in the future?"

"What? Are you planning to treat me to dinner every day?" Cheng Sanwu folded his arms.

Afu picked up a red date, didn't eat it, just put it on her lips and rubbed it lightly, the plump lips can't help but make people daydream - I don't know if this pair of lips is sweeter and more delicious than red dates?
Mr. Changqing's vision gradually focused, and his surroundings melted into darkness, as if Afu was the only one left in his eyes, and there was no room for other things.But the Twelve Empress Dowager Bells in his bosom trembled slightly, and the mysterious sound pierced through the sea of ​​consciousness, awakening him.

Mr. Changqing was shocked when he realized that Afu had cast a spell to confuse people's minds, so he quickly held his mind and looked away. He saw Su Wangting lowered his head and looked down, as if he was deaf to the conversation between the two people in front of him, obviously he had been prepared for a long time.

"If you want, I can indeed do that." Afu's words had an indescribably intimidating charm, and ordinary people heard them like listening to fairy music, as if they were soaked in soup springs, and their hair and bones were loose.

"How can there be such a good thing in the world?" Cheng Sanwu acted as if nothing had happened, and his words were still rough: "Don't really treat me as an idiot who doesn't understand anything. If you don't work for others, how can you do it?" Are you full?"

Realizing that the power of charm is useless, Afu restrained herself, and replied solemnly: "Now that Baochang Society has been abolished by the Protectorate, you are like a refugee with no land or family property. With your appetite and the little savings you have How long will it take? I don't think you are a person who can live in peace and work as a farmer."

"What? The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants me to work?" Cheng Sanwu said bluntly, "Forget it, I'm not used to serving people, and asking me to stick my ass to listen to those noble masters, just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortable. "

Cheng Sanwu shivered, and Afu smiled lightly: "You don't need to serve others, even many people can serve you, you just need to follow orders, just like you used to do in Baochang Society."

Cheng Sanwu pouted his lips to think, and looked at Su Wangting: "Old Su, what do you think?"

Over the years, Cheng Sanwu has long been used to letting Su Wangting make decisions, and he doesn't need to use his brain at all, he only needs to know the simple things like "where to go, how many to kill, and what to rob".

Su Wangting was thoughtful, and then said: "Miss Afu, you must be clear that Lao Cheng and I are just doing things for Lu Xiangye, and we have to visit Lu Xiangye first when we go to Chang'an. Can we discuss the rest of the matter later?" ?”

"Since that's the case, I won't force it." Afu got up and left her seat: "But I would like to advise you, Lu has always been merciless to those who are ineffective."

Afu left lightly, leaving the three men present looking at each other. Cheng Sanwu stared at the remaining cakes on the table, coldly snorted and stretched out his hand: "Hags like to scare people. If she doesn't eat, I will!"

……

Before Cheng Sanwu and the others had packed up their luggage, a team of riders from the Ministry of Internal Affairs had rushed to the old city of Xiaoguan. The leader was also a woman, wearing dark red hakama pleats, black leather boots, and Wearing a headband with folded feet, a leather belt around the waist, and a horizontal knife hanging from the waist, he looks like a military officer. Although his skin is as white as jade and his eyebrows are slender, he still can't conceal the temperament of his whole body like a sharp knife drawn from its sheath, which is awe-inspiring.

"Qin Wangshu pays homage to the envoy Fu." The woman in military uniform got off her horse and led a group of riders behind her to come to Afu and bow down on one knee, showing her loyalty.

"Get up." Afu changed into this chest-length skirt. She didn't look like an embroidered emissary who made all the officials tremble. On the contrary, she looked like a rich and noble girl, and she was not much different from a princess who sneaked out of Miyagi.

"These three will return to Chang'an with us." Afu gestured to Cheng Sanwu and the others behind him: "Later, we will head south and pass through Huangguan in Kongtong Mountain. We will stop for one night. They have something to do."

Qin Wangshu was slightly surprised, but immediately restrained his expression and said yes with crossed hands.She raised her eyes and glanced at Cheng Sanwu and his party. With her keen eyesight developed over the years, she could see at a glance that all three of them were mediocre people, especially the scholar in white, who was full of Daoism and was obviously of good cultivation. surgeon.

Qin Wangshu has served under Afu for a long time, and he knows that she has always been honest with ordinary people. Even Eunuch Feng, who is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, dare not order Afu arrogantly.But Afu is now shouldering a heavy responsibility, and she is still willing to stay for these people. It can be seen that these three people are unusual, and I must treat them with caution.

"All the things that need to be brought back to Chang'an are here. Take good care of them. These are demonic magical objects, so don't unseal them without authorization." Afu motioned to the camel behind him, and the star orbiter and obelisk left by Antty were all there. in.

"Of order!" Qin Wangshu nodded in agreement, and immediately let the subordinates behind him go to work.

"Tsk tsk, you have a lot of style." Cheng Sanwu approached Afu and laughed softly.

"How about it? If you are willing to come to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, maybe you can have a large group of people at your disposal." Afu said provocatively, and deliberately played with the hanging hair.

"I'm afraid." Cheng Sanwu deliberately twitched his nose, smelling the fragrance of Afu.

"Are you afraid too?" Afu didn't quite believe it.

"I'm afraid that as soon as I enter the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will be caught by a master who hides somewhere, and then dragged to the chopping board and cut off my descendants with a single knife." Cheng Sanwu laughed.

Afu snorted, covered her mouth with a chuckle, and said charmingly: "Do you think anyone is entitled to this knife? The eunuch enters the palace to serve His Majesty. Although we belong to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we don't work in the palace. You If you don’t understand, you might as well ask Mr. Changqing what a Chinese official is.”

Cheng Sanwu really didn't understand, so he could only shrug his shoulders and curl his lips.

The low-pitched conversation between the two seemed casual, but when it fell into Qin Wangshu's eyes, he was extremely shocked in his heart.In her impression, Fu Shangshi has always been indifferent and aloof, even when he smiles, he is mostly contemptuous and condescending, and never shows such an expression.

And the brawny man with short beard crossed his arms, leaned closer and whispered, his chin was almost touching Fushangshi's shoulder, this kind of behavior of a prodigal son almost made Qin Wangshu's eyes burst into flames.Even she had never been so close to the envoy Fu, lest she would be offended by blasphemy!
If it wasn't for the envoy of Fu, Qin Wangshu would have pulled out his knife immediately, picked off the limbs of the short-bearded man, and then ordered someone to drag him to the dogs!

Sensing Qin Wangshu's gaze, Cheng Sanwu looked back at each other without hesitation, no matter how hard the other party's gaze was, Cheng Sanwu still looked like he had nothing to do.

In the end, Qin Wangshu's eyes were staring dry, and since the camel and horse had been brought in, she had no choice but to withdraw her vicious gaze, and stepped forward to say to Afu, "Tell the envoy Fu that the carriage and horses are ready to stop. We will go now." Are you leaving?"

"Let's go." Afu said casually, and then boarded a carriage with a vermilion green cover. The curtains on both sides were rolled up, and there was a small table inside, which could accommodate two people sitting back and forth.

Afu just sat down, with a mischievous smile, she turned around and asked Cheng Sanwu: "Do you want to come up and ride with me?"

Cheng Sanwu looked at Afu, then at Qin Wangshu, who gritted his silver teeth secretly and had anger in his eyes, and said with a smile, "I'm big, so I won't squeeze with you, because I'm afraid that something bad will happen if the road is bumpy. .”

After saying this, Cheng Sanwu ignored Qin Wangshu who was about to draw a knife to hurt someone, turned around and whistled, the big bay red horse came running up shaking its head, sniffing at Cheng Sanwu.

"Ouch, what are you doing!" Cheng Sanwu was sprayed all over his face for no reason, and stretched out his hand to pat the horse's buttocks, chatting as a lesson.

Turning on the horse, Mr. Changqing, who was also driving the carriage, came to the side. Under the canopy of the carriage was the coffin where Master Zhou Lian was buried, and Mr. Changqing guarded him along the way.

"You are really not afraid of death." Mr. Changqing said in a low voice: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is a group of vicious people who kill people without blinking an eye and eat people without spit out bones. The civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty are quite afraid of them. How dare you fight against them?" Molesting a dominatrix in front of your eyes?"

"You..." Cheng Sanwu stared at Mr. Changqing for a while, and then asked on a whim: "Could it be a young child?"

"You—" Mr. Changqing regretted showing affection to him, this reckless man is really hopeless!

"The dominatrixes don't even care, what are you afraid of?" Cheng Sanwu was relaxed and calm: "If she didn't like it, she wouldn't let me get close to her at all. Besides, you also know that she is a dominatrix, I don't know how many years this old hag has lived, she has eaten and played long ago, and she is not the kind of lady, chaste and virtuous woman whose face turns red when she whispers a few words."

Mr. Changqing laughed because of his crooked manner: "So, you know women very well?"

Cheng Sanwu shook his fingers, with a strange smile on his face: "When you arrive in Chang'an, I will invite you to Pingkangfang, what Lianxianglou, Zuixiangju, Nuanyu Pavilion, I will take you around and let you Open your eyes!"

"Have you been there?" Mr. Changqing is not as fond of prostitutes, but he has heard of the name of Chang'an Pingkangfang. The east of the north gate of the workshop and the place of Sanqu are first-class In one of the romantic lands and gold-selling caves, there are constant exchanges of dignitaries and celebrities.

"No, no." This time it was Cheng Sanwu's turn to feel guilty.

"In the land of Sanqu in Pingkangfang, most of the outstanding talents are in Nanzhong Erqu, especially Nanqu's residence, all of which are Huatang Gaoge, Zhudong and Biwa, flowers are planted in front of and behind buildings, strange stone basins and ponds, rare and exotic toys There are countless of them, and they also have facilities for both water and land, as well as transportation by boat and vehicle." Mr. Changqing shook his head and spoke with his hands behind his back:
"Not to mention that the prostitutes of Nanqu are proficient in literature, good at conversation, and knowledge of classics and history. They are also familiar with silk and bamboo orchestras, erotic songs and wonderful dances. If you are rich, you may not see these prostitutes in Nanqu.

"Even if there is a group of Jinshi from the new department to go with you, you have to send someone to hand in a famous post in advance to ask for an interview. Otherwise, it is a popular scholar in the Imperial Academy and a dignitary from a high family. If it is a young man who behaves indecently and speaks vulgarly, I am afraid that he will be punished. The other party sent him out... I don't know where Brother Cheng is from?"

Mr. Changqing said a lot, but he still didn't forget to sarcasm at the end.

"Damn it..." Cheng Sanwu was speechless, so he could only curse and say, "Why don't you just sleep with a bitch? Do you have to be so poor?"

"The upper corpse is beautifully decorated, the middle corpse is delicious, and the lower corpse is lustful." Mr. Changqing straightened his expression, "The three corpses are squirming, and the five internal organs are filthy. The place of three tunes can attract powerful people, which shows that the world is biased! "

Cheng Sanwu was taken aback when he heard that, but he didn't know how to answer.But in the blue-covered carriage that was slowly driving away, Afu could hear clearly, and the corner of her mouth slightly curled up: "It may not be a good thing to be so mature at such a young age."

"The envoy Fu." Qin Wangshu, who was following by the car, couldn't help but said, "That person offended the envoy just now, what do we need to do?"

"I have my own measure, you don't have to ask more."

Afu smiled faintly, she felt a little regretful that Cheng Sanwu refused to get in the car with her.Is this reckless man really as ignorant and lustful as he appears on the surface?Afu licked her fangs slightly, and the hunger and thirst in her heart began to haunt her.
