ruffian mixed in ancient times

Chapter 274 "The Forbidden Palace Away from the Flames of War"

Ah Zhen and Li Nengwu rode their horses and galloped after they came out of Sui Village.At dusk, the two came to Xishui County. A dozen soldiers and city guards had been waiting for a long time at the gate of the city. When they saw two galloping horses in the distance, everyone stood upright when they saw the two of them. , Chengxian opened his eyes wide, seeing the majestic and handsome man on the horse, he carefully asked the city guard next to him: "Is this person Da Sima?"

The city guard also looked around, and said with a sad face and fear: "Magistrate, I have never seen Da Sima."

"Then what should we do?" Zhixian replied weakly.

Just when they didn't know what to do, Ah Zhen rode his horse and ran towards him. After jumping over, he took out Da Sima's seal from his arms and said, "Where is the dry food?"

Seeing that it was Da Sima's seal letter, the two officers didn't even have time to kneel, so they hurriedly took a large bag of dry food and handed it forward, and they didn't dare to kneel down to see him until he took over.

Ah Zhen spread out his burden, grabbed a big bun and swallowed it one by one. After almost choking himself to death, he poured a large bag of water, then led the handsome horse in the hands of the guards next to him, turned over and flicked the whip, raising dust Run forward.

A group of people were still kneeling on the ground, and when they looked up blankly, they saw that they had gone away. They wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads in fear before slowly standing up.This big Sima was as scary as the rumors said, they had only been in contact with him for a short while, and he almost suffocated them.

The night is full of stars, and the moon is as round as a cake.

On the road from Sui County to Jinling under Yuanbing, the two rode their horses and galloped without stopping for a moment, as if they would not be able to catch up with the reincarnation team if they were a quarter of an hour later.

"Drive!" Ah Zhen raised his whip and flattered wildly, the horse ran forward desperately in pain, while the man on the horse's face was weathered, extremely exhausted, and miserable.

The moon is gradually setting in the west, and the full moon of Shaobing, after being lightly covered by dark clouds, reveals the shape of a crescent.

"Calling..." Ah Zhen pulled the horse rope tighter and gasped for breath. The horse turned over and dismounted without stopping, rubbing the red and swollen hands with his hands, and fell to the ground weakly in the numbness of his legs.

Li Nengwu got off his horse and hurried to him while taking advantage of the moonlight, gently helped him up and said, "Master, it seems that we can reach the imperial capital before dawn."

"Well, you haven't eaten since morning, so hurry up and give me some water."

Without delay, Li Nengwu immediately took out a water bag from his waist.After Ah Zhen took it, Gulu poured it down.

After a short rest, he ate a large piece of jerky and walked towards the horse, got on the horse, and continued to drive to the reincarnation team.

Maoshi is not here, and the moon is setting in the west.The entire imperial city was peaceful and peaceful, and the capital city under the night was filled with a deep sense of sleepiness. In half an hour, the people who got up early would have to wake up. The city guards stood on the city wall, holding spears and spears in their hands. Then I'm going to play chess with Duke Zhou.

In the quiet night.Suddenly there was the sound of rushing horseshoes, loud and empty in the quiet night, waking up the three or two drowsy city guards.

As soon as Li Nengwu arrived at the base of the city, he shouted at the lights on the wall: "Open the city gate quickly."

The bewildered soldier rubbed his sleepy eyes, and was startled when he saw that it was Da Sima who came through the night. He raised his throat and shouted to the dozen or so snoring guards under the city gate: "Da Sima!" Sima is here, open the city gate quickly."

The bright sound cut across the night, waking up the dozen or so gatekeepers, and they hurriedly pushed open the city gate before they had time to adjust their clothes.

Before the city gate was fully opened, Ahgentima rushed towards the half-opened gate like an arrow with a sound of "drive". Li Nengwu followed closely behind without saying a word.

"Neng Wu, go back to the mansion immediately and straighten out my clothes and books. After I return from the palace, I will go north immediately."

"Yes."

The two separated as they ran across the deserted three-way intersection.

"Who is coming?" The guards at the gate of the palace vaguely saw someone galloping towards them on horseback. The horseman was galloping very fast, as if he was about to force his way into the palace. They all drew out their sabers and were on alert.

When he saw clearly that the person who came was Da Sima, he quickly sheathed the saber and stepped aside, not daring to stop him or ask more questions.

When Ah Zhen arrived at the gate of the palace, the horse was stopped by the guards of the palace gate, so he jumped off the horse, forcibly held back his hands that were about to be rubbed, gritted his teeth and ran towards the palace without making a sound.

"." Walking to the garden path in the palace, he cursed softly, feeling as if his butt had swollen to twice its size.

At the gate of the imperial study room, the guards saw a black figure, and hurriedly stood in front of the door and shouted: "Who is it?"

"Big Sima."

As the words fell, he walked in front of the guards expressionlessly.

The boss of the guard saw that it was really Da Sima who came, and he was terrified. It was just past time, and he didn't know why Da Sima came into the palace so late...

The boss of the guard swallowed his saliva, and asked cautiously in fear: "Big...big...big Sima Lai"

Many people stuttered when talking to him, Ah Zhen rolled his eyes and saw that he was surprised and said: "The military is urgent, go and call Wang Yu." He said as if entering a land of no one, ignoring the heavy soldiers, and walked into the imperial study.

The guards swallowed and looked at each other, but no one dared to stop them.

The boss of the bodyguard followed behind obediently, disturbing Mr. Wang in the middle of the night, and a few slaps were decided, and he complained in his heart, but he went against Da Sima's wishes, maybe he lost his head, weighing the gains and losses, he would rather suffer a few Slap on the face and keep the guy who eats too.

The imperial study room was still brightly lit. When Ah Zhen stepped in, he saw that Wang Yu was sleeping at the entrance between the inner hall and the hall. He couldn't help being surprised when he saw this, and turned to the boss of the guards and asked, "Is he sleeping?" it's here?"

"That's right." The emperor woke up in the imperial study, and Manager Wang was going to sleep at the door to guard the door, what's wrong?

Ah Zhen Wan Er, it seems that the eunuch next to this old man is hard to be, thinking about it, I can't help but feel sorry for Wang Huan, the words have been cut off, and he has to sleep on the floor every day, it's really hard for him.

"Go get me a cup of tea." He walked to the chair next to him, not intending to wake up Wang Yu and the old man.

The boss of the guard was stunned for a moment, with a mournful face, he was just a small guard, not the chief of the palace, where could he get a cup of tea for this old man in the middle of the night?

"Is it difficult to handle such a small matter?" He raised his eyebrows when he saw the guard's face.

Seeing that he raised his eyebrows, the guard was so frightened that he was about to cry.

Seeing him like this, Ah Zhen sighed deeply, took out the seal from his arms and said to the guard: "This is not far from the pavilion where the princess lives, you can go to the Fourteenth Princess, or Seventh Princess, and ask me for a cup of tea. Whether it is good or bad, it must be bitter.” He was about to go to sleep without drinking bitter tea, and his mind began to be confused.

This time the guard didn't dare to take the bridge anymore, held his seal respectfully, and left quickly.Da Sima also seems to be very tired. I don't know what happened again. Every time he breaks into the forbidden palace late at night, he always makes some shocking things. This time he entered the palace so late, I'm afraid it's not just as simple as barrel breaking the sky up.

Wang Yu turned around, and when Gulu turned around, he seemed to see someone sitting in the study in a daze, opened his eyes in horror, and saw Da Sima sitting on the chair under the imperial table.

"Da Sima? Why are you here?" Wang Yu couldn't turn his head from confusion for a while, and stood up suspiciously.

Ah Zhen saw him in a daze, rolled his eyes upwards and said, "What? You don't know why I'm here?"

Wang Yu walked out of the warm blanket, and when the cold wind blew, he suddenly felt extremely sober, remembering that the emperor ordered him to come here day and night, and according to the time, he was here at just the right time.

"Oh, something serious has happened." After Wang Yu woke up, his mother stomped her foot and said, "This servant will call the emperor right away."

When he stomped his feet, Ah Zhen's scalp was numb. He was such a mother. Hearing that he was going to call the emperor, he stopped him quickly and said, "Don't worry, let the emperor sleep more."

Hearing what he said, Wang Yu stopped the foot that was about to enter the inner hall, turned around and said in a low voice, "Oh, since the emperor heard the bad news on the frontier, he didn't go to bed until Maoshi for the past two days."

"Let's go out and talk, don't disturb the emperor." Ah Zhen nodded, and pulled him outside.Sighing secretly, the old man doesn't cherish himself so much, how much time do he have to live?

Hearing his caring tone, Wang Yu was very moved, and walked out of the imperial study with him, the dark sky was full of stars twinkling, the moon was even more dim, sinking to the west, the white sun was gradually revealing, and the surroundings were still silent.

"Da Sima, you've heard about the frontier affairs, right?" Seeing him sitting on the stone floor of the imperial study, Wang Huan carefully squatted next to his ear and asked softly.

Ah Zhen raised his eyebrows, leaned back exhaustedly on the huge stone pillar beside him, nodded slightly and said: "I know everything."

"Can you do it?" Wang Yu was anxious.

"Don't worry." He patted his shoulder, "It's okay."

For the past two days, Wang Yu, who has always been holding his heart, until he heard him calmly say that he knew.A heart returned to its place a little bit, nodded in agreement and said: "I hope so, I don't know"

Before he could say what he didn't know, Ah Zhen turned to look at him and said, "Wang Yu, you should not ask too much about these court matters, you will always know what you should know, and if you ask too much about what you shouldn't know, you will give yourself You should understand this truth better than me, bringing about a fatal disaster."

Hearing what he said, Wang Yu said apologetically, "It's a slave who is more disobedient." He was able to become the first manager of the big house, and he was right with his master. The inquisitors who drilled mountains and drilled holes died long ago.

Just when Ah Zhen was drowsy, the boss of the guard hurried over with a cup of hot tea, sweating profusely, "Da Sima tea is here."

Ah Zhen, who was going to sleep, heard this, opened his eyes with difficulty, tried to sit upright, took a small sip of tea.

Bitter, really bitter, is this called tea?It should be called bitter medicine.

Standing by the side, Wang Yu saw him taking a sip of tea, his facial features were all wrinkled together, he looked into the cup of tea curiously, and reprimanded the guard boss in shock: "What kind of tea did you serve to Da Sima? Hurry up and get another cup." He saw that the tea leaves were rough, uneven, some floated up and some sank, and there were a lot of floating objects, could this tea be drunk by Da Sima?

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem, this tea is very good." He took a sip and felt all his tiredness swept away, curiously raised his eyes to the guard boss and asked: "Your tea reminds you very much, what's its name?"

The boss of the guard was originally crying, but when he heard him say yes, he shook his head with a dull expression and said: "I don't know about the humble job, the seventh princess said this is a refreshing tea."

Hearing that this tea was begged from the Seventh Princess, Wang Yu squatted down and looked at it carefully for a while, and said clearly, "Da Sima, this tea is called Yishou Tea, commonly known as Kuding Tea in the folk, it is extremely bitter, but it can refresh your mind. Hundred times, and both have the effect of prolonging life."

"I see." Ah Zhen nodded, it was indeed bitter, but the effect was remarkable, he had to get some and bring it with him.

"Go down." Wang Yu called to the boss of the guard.

"Yes."

After the boss of the guard left, the two of them sat drinking tea while the other stood in the old position, looking at the starry sky together in silence, waiting for the dawn to come.

The day is getting clearer, and the chirping birds are competing unconsciously.

The old god Wang Yu stood on the stone corridor, and said to Ah Zhen who was half asleep and half awake: "It's probably time, I'm going to wake up the emperor."

Suddenly, Ah Zhen woke up, shook his drowsy head, and hurriedly called Wang Yu who was about to enter the imperial study, "Don't worry, let the emperor sleep for a while." It is best to sleep until he wakes up naturally.

Hearing what he said, Wang Yu stopped and wanted to step on his feet in the study, hesitantly.In the end, he was persuaded and sighed softly and murmured: "That's fine." Anyway, Da Sima was in charge, and he was a slave who couldn't help himself.

Ah Zhen drank the cup of bitter tea that had been cooled for a long time, put his hands on his cheeks, and looked at the birds chasing by Chongji on the branches, unconsciously, his eyelids gradually became heavy again.

It was three poles high in the sun, and the sunlight shone into the garden of the imperial study room, but it couldn't reach the stone steps of the imperial study room.Wang Yu looked in disbelief at Da Sima, who was lying on the stone steps and sleeping very comfortably. Everyone entered the palace trembling like walking on thin ice, but he was sleeping soundly at the door of the emperor's imperial study.

"Wang Yu"

A vigorous call sounded clearly and clearly into his dazed head, startling Wang Yu who was staring at him in disbelief, and quickly ran into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty." After Wang Yu entered the inner hall, he saw that the Emperor had sat up, and Longma's spirited eyes were looking directly at him.

"What time is it now?" This sleep was extremely comfortable, and I felt extremely refreshed.

Wang Yu whispered anxiously, "The time has passed."

Hearing what he said, the old man was shocked and shouted: "Bold slave, it's past time, and you didn't wake me up."

"The servant deserves to die, yes yes yes, it was Da Sima who prevented the servant from waking up the emperor." Wang Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, pushed four, five, six, completely.

"Lin Aiqing is here?" The emperor's complexion was not good, and he stared at Wang Yu who was kneeling on the ground.

"Yes, Da Sima is outside the door." Wang Yu's terrified face was like a chameleon.

"Get up." The bastard really came in time, and he slept very comfortably this time, so he didn't blame him, "Let me wake up."

"Yes." Wang Yu was overjoyed, and started to help the old man tidy up his clothes in awe.

The emperor who walked out of the study saw Ah Zhen lying on the stone slab and sleeping soundly.Looking at his tucked body, it seems to be very cold, and the corners of his mouth can't help but point to him and say: "Wang Yu, why did he sleep?"

Sweat dripped down Wang Yu's forehead, and he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Da Sima Yin will be here in a short time, so he waited at the outer door with his servants for fear of disturbing the Emperor, and then..." At this point, he carefully raised his head and peeked at the extremely sleeping man. Comfortable Mr. Lin.

Hearing this, the old man was overjoyed, his energetic old head shook, he was probably the only one in the world who could sleep so comfortably outside his imperial study.

"Give him a quilt and let him fall asleep here." The old man gave an order to Wang Xi.

"Yes"

When Wang Huan put the quilt on Ah Zhen, the sighing old man stepped forward and said, "Wang Wei didn't wake me up, the court ministers have waited for a long time and are going to complain."

Hearing this, Wang Yu replied cautiously, "Your Majesty, the little eunuch came to urge you just now, but he was sent away by the big Sima."

Hearing what he said, the emperor raised his eyebrows, stopped and turned around to look at Wang Yu, "What's going on?"

"Da Sima said that the emperor had an occasional cold, drank the medicine and was sleeping soundly. The ministers who have something to play are waiting outside the Imperial Study Garden, and they have nothing to go back." He was shocked when he heard what Da Sima said. Jump, but Da Sima was very resolute, and there was nothing he could do.

After the old man heard this, he looked at Lin Ahzhen who was sleeping comfortably, and shook his head after a while and sighed: "There is really nothing in the world that he dare not do."

When Wang Yu heard the emperor's words about whether to be angry or not, the sweat on his forehead poured down like a waterfall.

"Ai" sighed deeply again, the emperor sat in his clothes next to the sleeping Shubu's Ah Zhen.

"Your Majesty" Wang Yu panicked and called softly.

"Shh, don't make noise."

Hearing these words of caring, Wang Yu stared at her mother's eyes and immediately silenced.Thinking that he has lived to this age, he has seen so many strange things.But since Da Sima came, the strange things he encountered didn't seem so strange anymore.
