Jinyi Night Walk

On the third morning, behind a hillside where three arrows hit the ground outside Lulong Pass, the crowd began to get busy. Baixue was shoveled into the pot, and it was steaming hot. Dried wild vegetables and dried meat were thrown into the pot, and the vegetable and meat porridge began to smell fragrant. The taste of tsk tsk.

Xiribari held a ball of snow in his hand, picked up a piece of milk, and found Dai Yubin while chewing: "An Da, this is really fucking strange, didn't you agree to trade last night? What happened in Guancheng?" There is no signal to clear the level? After a while, take a few people over to find out."

Dai Yubin said: "Okay, my lord, don't be too anxious. Lakshin hasn't reported any changes, so nothing should happen. They want more than a hundred vehicles at a time. It must be difficult to raise vehicles, and it will take time. I will go there in a while." Look."

Xiri Bari said: "Well, it won't work if you delay for too long. We brought so many goods, because after thinking about it, we can trade them, but we only brought two tents. Most of the people can only sleep in snow nests. In the house, if you make up for one night, you will get sick from the cold after a long time."

Just as he was talking, the tall and burly Mauihan came over with a frosted flower on his shoulders: "My lord, that old fellow Xi Rigoulige is sick from the cold. After all, he is old, has a little fever, and lacks energy. What do you think we should do?"

Xiri Bari frowned and said, "Did we bring medicine? He must make no mistakes. The palace is very complicated, let alone the secret passage. The increase or decrease, only he can recognize the road, just draw a map, we can't find it."

Ma Yihan said: "There are medicinal materials to prevent cold and dissipate heat. I just cooked a bowl of medicinal soup for him to drink, but the old man is weak." If he is sick, he may not heal immediately. "

Xiribari shook his head and said, "Move him into my tent first, this man is of great use, he can't be too sick to get up."

He turned back and said to Dai Yubin: "I'm really afraid of something, he fucked. By the way, the gunpowder buried in the secret path is okay? It's very useful."

Dai Yubin said: "Even if there is no gunpowder, the tung oil is enough to make a sensation in the world."

Xiribari gritted his teeth and said: "Otherwise, Zhu Di might escape if the tung oil is on fire. I will blow him to death in the palace and blow up his whole family to pieces. His death will be the most heartening for our soldiers." military spirit."

Dai Yubin smiled and said: "Only Xi Rigoulige has entered the secret passage, and I don't know how the gunpowder is stored, but I heard from Xi Rigoulige that the military gunpowder is packed very tightly, and there are several layers of waterproof and moisture-proof on the outside of the wooden barrel." oiled paper, and sealed with a layer of wax, it is estimated that it will not be damaged by moisture after being stored for 80 or [-] years."

Xiribari said happily, "That's good."

The two people were talking, Mao Yihan brought two people" and walked over with Xi Rigou Lige on his back. Seeing that Xi Rigou Lige was flushed and struggling to breathe, Xiri Bari couldn't help frowning and said: "It only took one night. How did you get sick like this?Hurry up, help him to rest in the account, and the medicine needs to be targeted. It's really bad, if it's a deal tonight, I forcefully take him there, isn't it arousing suspicion? "

They intend to buy some necessities as an excuse to pass some people involved in the plan.And Xi Rigoulige is one of them.But he is old, and there are so many middle-aged people who are not used by everyone. If you insist on bringing a year-old person there, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of wise people." Therefore, they planned to make Xi Rigou Lige look younger with make-up, and stick it together again. With a black beard, he can barely pass the test even though he can't see clearly in the night.

But now he is so sick, if everyone is busy moving the goods, there is a person here who is too weak to move, and finally wants to take him into the customs, can people not be suspicious?Although it may not be possible to ruin their important matter because of this suspicion, but this matter is too important, and Xiribari has to personally pass the test to preside over the matter, and there is no room for delay.

Dai Yubin frowned, suddenly thought of it, and said, "Your Excellency, don't worry about it. I suddenly thought of a good way to let Xiribari get away with it."

Xiribari hurriedly said, "What way?"

Dai Yubin said: "If his condition is still not recovering during the transaction, then there is no need to make him pretend to be older, just say that he is an elder in the clan who is seriously ill and wants to go to Dadu. Seek medical advice."

Xiribari was overjoyed: "Okay! This excuse is well thought out, and it is indeed perfect, hahaha, An Da, when the time comes, I will say that he is your father, and the dutiful son took Lao Tzu to treat the illness. This excuse is really good, hahaha ..."

Dai Yubin's face froze, and his smile was a bit bitter: "Get a eunuch to be your father? Haha, haha..."

"What? They turned out to be the seventh brother's people? Seventh brother started some business to make money because the funds for building the palace stopped? Start..."... Nonsense!What nonsense! "

The King of Yan sat down with both a smile and a smile on his face, and said: "It's okay for such a majestic prince to engage in business affairs that compete with the people for profit, but he still directly intervenes in things that are prohibited by the court.

What's that man's name? "

Concubine Xu said softly: "Shihong just cross-examined them. The two people's public identities are Xia Xun and Gao Sheng, and their real identities are Yang Xu and Ximen Qing. One is a student from Qingzhou, and the other is a doctor from Yanggu County. .”

King Yan shook his head again and again: "Absurd, Seventh Brother is really absurd."

Concubine Xu said: "My lord, since you are under the Seventh Brother's sect, you have to give this face, not to mention the several times of sweeping the North, the Seventh Brother has helped you a lot, just talking about brotherhood, it's not worth it for such a small matter. Let them go, anyway, the customs clearance transaction is meant to be concealed, so let them go."

King Yan said: "Ton? What about Ming'er, isn't the little guy annoyed?"

Concubine Xu laughed and said, "That girl Ming'er doesn't know how to hold grudges. Speaking of what happened that night, she was very excited along the way, and she will tell you about it as soon as she returns home as a very interesting thing. My daughters are showing off. Last night, seeing those two brave boys huddled in the cage and suffering from the cold, she still foolishly sent blankets over, she doesn’t care about it.”

King Yan heaved a sigh of relief and said: "That's good, ask Shihong to take them out, this matter will make a lot of trouble" Seventh brother is really... Sigh! "

The Shihong he was talking about, whose surname was Zhu Mingneng, was born in Anzheng Huaiyuan, inherited his father's position as Yanshan Guard Deputy Qianhu, and was in charge of guarding the Yan Palace. After Xia Xun and Ximen Qing brought them back to the palace, he was the one who conducted the trial.

Concubine Xu said again: "The fastest person they interviewed was King Qi. Because of a misunderstanding, we caught him and suffered a lot on the way. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner when beating a dog. Sending them out like this, brother Qi Wang will not look good, and you don't know his temper." Among the brothers, he is the most face-saving person. "

King Yan stared and said, "What's going to happen? Do you want me to send them out with gongs and drums?"

Concubine Xu covered her mouth and said: "That's not necessary, what they did is disgraceful, so it's naturally inconvenient for you to come forward."

She thought about it for a while, and said: "Ask Gao Chi to send them out. Having the son of King Yan come forward" can be regarded as giving them enough face. King Qi knew about it, so he couldn't say anything more. "

Zhu Di nodded his head and said, "Alright, just ask Gao Chi to send this pair of difficult brats away."

Xia Xun and Ximen Qing have been closed in a side hall from the firewood room. Although the inside is still empty, there is no kang brazier, and the side hall has been in disrepair for a long time, which is a bit desolate and dusty. It is much warmer than the firewood room with air leaks everywhere.

Ximen Qing stomped his feet and walked around the room: "We have all recruited [real] identities, so it stands to reason that His Highness King Yan will not make things difficult for us anymore? Why don't you let us go?"

Xia Xun said firmly: "Don't worry, even if that Xu Guogong's daughter refuses to give up, we won't be in danger of our lives."

Ximen Qing said: "That little girl named Ming'er? Haha" Then it's okay, the little girl is very kind, didn't you see that she gave us a blanket yesterday. "

Xia Xun said quietly: "Yeah, I gave you a blanket, a blanket for the little princess, and a blanket that is so small. At first, you said that one person is half of you, and you wrapped it around your body desperately when you fell asleep. Squeeze a foot in."

Ximen Qing laughed dryly, "This..." Hahaha, I fell asleep like this..."

While the other person was talking, the door of the hall slammed and there was the sound of unlocking the lock. The two immediately stood together and stared intently at the door of the hall.

As soon as the door of the palace opened, four palace guards came in first, stood there, stood with their knives on, majestic, and then a big fat man appeared at the door, supported by two tall and powerful servants, stepped over the high threshold, and walked Come into the hall.

This big fat man was wearing an indigo-color Confucian robe and a Confucian scarf on his head. He had big ears and a very graceful demeanor, but his figure was really too fat. Looking at the tall man in his early twenties , but a wide and fat robe didn't seem to be able to support his fat figure, so he had to be supported by two tall and powerful servants.

Xia Xun thought to himself: "I remember in the literature that Zhu Lin's eldest son was obese, and he was obese since he was a child. Could it be this person?"

The big fat man had a gentle smile on his face, not showing a hint of arrogance because of the low status of the two, before the guards informed him, he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I am Zhu Gaochi, the son of Prince Yan. My mother led the guards to hunt in Lulong Pass. Seeing that you two were missing and mistook you for bandits, she asked the guards to find out your identities. It was because the guards were a bit reckless. People, resulting in so many misunderstandings. You two have suffered along the way, it is my Yan Palace's fault, Gao Chi apologizes to you two."

As he spoke, he bent down very hard.

Xia Xun said in his heart: "I heard that the third son of Yan Wang, the eldest son Gao Chi is the most generous and kind, he treats people with sincerity, is elegant and kind, and his younger brother has repeatedly slandered him in front of Zhu Di in order to seize the throne, and even secretly disadvantaged him. He treated his brothers quite favorably, and even defended them in front of his father. Now that he has only met him once, he feels that the rumors are true. As the son of King Yan, if he is not naturally benevolent, there is really no need to be so polite to us."

Xia Xun hurriedly stepped forward with Ximen Qing to return the gift. Zhu Gaochi is the son of King Yan, the future King of Yan, and the same prince as the prince. The identity is just a small student, and the two rushed forward to kowtow to each other.Zhong said: "Your Majesty, please don't be so polite, we do have something wrong, otherwise the princess will not be suspicious."

Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "Excuse me, you don't need to pay attention."

He laughed again and said, "Zhu Qianhu has just asked about your identities. If you have offended me, please forgive me. Gao Chi is here, one is to apologize, and the other is to send the two of you out of the mansion. If the two of you are not surprised, please come with me."

Just as Zhu Gaochi turned around with difficulty, he saw a little girl in white running in bouncing in, followed by two guards, and when he saw Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, he shouted: "Okay, so you are the king of Qi." Sect, no wonder you are so courageous, can the disciples of King Qi bully me?"

When Zhu Gaochi saw her coming, he quickly stood still, clasped his fists in his hands, bent down his big belly with great difficulty, and saluted Xu Ming'er solemnly: "Jing'er Gaochi, I have met Aunt Ming."

As soon as the little girl dodged, she floated past him. Zhu Gaochi straightened his stomach again with difficulty, and when he looked up, his aunt had disappeared. Zhu Gaochi turned around awkwardly, only to see that Xu Ming'er was standing beside Xia Xun. In front of He Ximenqing, with his hands behind his back, he was looking at them with his head bent.

Zhu Gaochi had already heard what had happened, and thought that his aunt would make things difficult for these two people, so he quickly moved over and reminded: "Aunt Ming, this matter is all a misunderstanding, father and mother have ordered Gao Chi to Send them out of the house."

The little girl waved her hands proudly and said: "I know, I know, you go out first, I have something to say to them."

Zhu Gaochi said in embarrassment: "Ming ah..."..."

Xu Ming'er turned around and pushed him impatiently: "Get out, get out, I said I wouldn't embarrass them. I, Xu Ming'er, keep my word and will never break my word."

Zhu Gaochi's body is like a mountain of meat, Xu Ming'er can't push it, but Zhu Gaochi is a very upright gentleman, he pays attention to the order of the elders and children, no matter how young Xu Minger is, she is also his aunt, his elder However, Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to disobey her, so he had to follow her wishes, supported by two servants, and slowly moved out of the side hall.

"Hey hey,""

Pushing her fat nephew out of the palace door, Xu Ming'er closed the door with a loud shout, then turned around to look at Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, wondering if she had learned the image of a treacherous minister from some drama, a The shoulders are high, one shoulder is low, two beautiful big eyes are deliberately narrowed, and they smirk twice, looking at the two menacingly.

Xia Xun and Ximen Qing didn't feel scared when they saw her appearance, which was a bit funny, but they shrank their necks smartly, showing a timid look. Xu Ming'er was very satisfied with the intimidation her appearance caused them. Straightening her waist, she pointed at Xia Xun and said, "Say, why did you arrest me?"

Xia Xun looked at her blankly: "Little princess, he is the one who arrested you, why did the princess recognize me as the envoy?"
