My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 90

At noon, after Xu Shijin woke up from sleep, he went out, and in the small fenced courtyard, he saw Shen Yu sitting wantonly leaning on the fence, with such facial features and such a handsome appearance, drunken and desolate, his demeanor was the same as before.Xu Shijin stood at the door of the house and admired it quietly for a moment.She rarely looked at Shen Yu with pure admiration. In her eyes, Shen Yu was more of the boy who was abandoned by her in the past. At most, she glanced at him casually.

Mr. Shen really has a good skin.

Even if they look like ruffians and look casual, the small courtyard they live in can become the latest crowded area in the village.Girls from the village, girls from neighboring villages, and those sister-in-laws who wanted to find a good son-in-law, all wandered outside the yard where they lived, intentionally or not.

Since Xu Shijin woke up, he had seen several batches.

Shen Yu was basking in the sun in a daze, but the old doctor sat across from him, and after talking to him for a long time, he cheered up.

The old doctor said, "Mr. Shen, it costs a lot of money to see a doctor, and the old man has to live. You see..." If he was not in short supply, he would not have asked to go to Liu Ling when he was in Yejing that day. Given a chance.

Shen Yu looked at him and asked doubtfully, "I remember that Anhe Princess gave you a large reward that day, right? Why don't you have enough?"

"You don't need money to recuperate Miss Xu's body?!" The old doctor was indignant, "You sons and girls of good backgrounds, of course you don't know how hard we ordinary people are living...Mr. After the new year, the silver taels will bottom out soon."

He looked at Shen Yu with hopeful eyes.

Shen Yu returned his gaze and remained silent for a long time.

A slow female voice came from the side, "Sir, why do you think that Shen Xiaoyu has silver taels?"

The two turned their heads together and saw Xu Shijin standing behind them.The old doctor's eyes flickered, looking at Miss Xu's eyes, he was a little worried: this girl under the sun is extremely thin, her skin is almost transparent.Shaking, like a beauty lamp.This doesn't look normal at all.

Shen Yu looked at Xu Shijin with bright eyes, and seemed to have no intention of saying, "Are you awake? Xiaojin, I found that you have slept a lot more than ordinary people in the past few days."

Xu Shijin didn't change his face, and smiled, "I just recovered from a serious illness, and my body is always much weaker, and I feel sleepy every day. After all, this kind of medicine always has some sequelae. Don't worry, just take it easy."

Shen Yu nodded his head lightly, and didn't say any more, but the hidden worry in his heart never diminished.Ms. Xu is tactful and has a changeable mind. With the eyes of others, she can turn around a hundred and twenty times.It's too easy for her to lie to someone.Shen Yu belongs to the range of normal people. He was often deceived by Xu Shijin when he was a child. He thinks that even when he grows up, he may not be Xu Shijin's opponent. Therefore, he decided to withdraw from the crown prince's circle of power games.

What the old doctor cares most about now is silver, and he doesn't care at all about the code words of the young men and women.After Xu Shijin interrupted, he hurriedly asked, "Why does Mr. Shen have no silver taels?!"

Xu Shijin looked at Shen Yu sympathetically, "Because he ran away from home and angered his parents and elders. He was kicked out of the house, and he may not be able to return home for a long time. His family's rules are quite strict, and he was kicked out of the house." After that, the family will not give him any financial support."

A few days after waking up, Shen Yu picked out some important changes in Beijing after Xu Shijin's "death", and told Xu Shijin.But at that time, Shen Yu was no longer the commander of Jin Yiwei, and he didn't know the more crucial news.

The old doctor was dumbfounded, and asked tentatively, "Then Miss Xu?"

Xu Shijin frowned, "I'm rich...but in the short term, I'm unlikely to touch it." To the people in Yejing, she is a "dead person".The news that a dead person uses property under his own name is too great.

She frowned and began to worry too.She herself knows that her current body sleeps longer every day, and every time she sleeps, she has to spend a lot of effort to wake up.If it wasn't for the past few days, Xu Shijin didn't want to sleep at all if he knew his condition well and had to rest, otherwise he would be unable to hold on.She was really afraid that one day, her willpower would no longer be able to defeat her body.

She had discussed many medicines with the old doctor privately, and they were all extremely expensive.Whether it can be used or not, she always looks like this, so let's try it.She also thought about writing to Liu Ling, asking Liu Ling to send some palace medicinal materials.But she still didn't want to rely too much on Liu Ling and cause trouble for Liu Ling.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Shijin has been troubled by various things, except for money.Now that he is away from home and living in the life of ordinary people, he realizes that the scheming that he cultivated since he was a child cannot bring him a penny.

She was thinking, what method should she use to make money the fastest?
write?female celebrity?Those are too few.

To be a guest?To help people make suggestions?Ordinary people don't need it either.Even if it is necessary, if she makes a move, the possibility of being noticed by Ye Jing will be a little higher.Xu Shijin was not willing to do this.

When the old doctor and Xu Shijin were both distressed, Shen Yu coughed beside him. When they looked over, he put his hand on Xu Shijin's shoulder and said with a nonchalant smile, "Isn't it just the silver taels? Dare to say, but to make money, no one is more suitable than me."

"A lot of money is needed." The old doctor added.

Shen Yu said confidently, "No problem."

Xu Shijin's eyebrows jumped up, and he looked at Shen Yu suspiciously, with some interest.

Shen Yu brought her many surprises.For example, although he is not diligent, his martial arts are surprisingly good.

What kind of surprise could he bring her now?

After Shen Yu promised the old doctor to go out to make money, Xu Shijin said that she wanted to go too.

Shen Yu groaned, "What are you going to do? You should recuperate here."

"We may have to be together often in the future, are you disappointed?" Miss Xu smiled softly and said it so naturally, just as it should be.

"...how could I be disappointed." Shen Yu dodged his eyes for a moment, but unconsciously took the hand on her shoulder, which showed the stiffness in his heart.

Xu Shijin said "Oh", followed him two steps, and asked, "Are you happy then?"

"Ahem!" Shen Yu staggered and almost fell.He looked back at Xu Shijin, his eyes were moist and the roots of his ears were slightly red.The rambunctious nobleman was rarely embarrassed, he couldn't keep up with Xu Shijin's pace.

He is still not quite used to getting along with the grown-up Xu Shijin...

Xu Shijin looked at him, smiled slightly, let him stand still, and walked out of the village by himself.After a while, she heard footsteps behind her and knew that it was Shen Yu who followed.

The smile on Xu Shijin's lips was still faint, but the smile in his eyes disappeared.She looked at the small road leading to the outside of the village, and was really at a loss for the future.She didn't know if what she did was right, whether it was good to treat Shen Yu like this.

She wanted Shen Yu to be happy and get everything he wanted.He didn't ask for much, and she could handle it.She didn't want Shen Yu to face tragic despair immediately after he had hope.

But is it really good for her to treat Shen Yu like this?

If she couldn't really live on at all, if she died in the end, what was given to Shen Yu now would become cruel by then.

But she wouldn't give it to him now—would she ever have a chance to give it?
"Xiao Jin, walk slowly." Xu Shijin was pessimistic, and Shen Yu was behind her, pulling down her sleeves and making her stop.

She looked at the young man who was walking over, and nodded slightly, her expression resolute again.Many things must be done even if they are unlikely to have results.

Originally it was good to make money, but when passing by the entrance of the village, I saw a temple on the top of the mountain.Shen Yu thought for a while, and suggested that they go in and pay their respects.Xu Shijin hesitated, then nodded.She didn't quite believe it, but Liu Ling did.During the many years of her friendship with Liu Ling, Liu Ling often said, "Fate tells me what to do" and "This is the will of the heavens, and I cannot disobey it."Xu Shijin thought it was funny at that time, such a remote person as A Ling, actually believed in fate?

But now, standing at the fork in the road, Xu Shijin was a little convinced.

Life is like a candle, "the heart is long and the flame is short".People around her came and went, she walked on a difficult road, through the forest, through the moonlight, through the ambush from ten sides, but finally stood in front of a cliff.How did she know if she jumped, whether it was life or death?
Xu Shijin gradually understood that most of the time, relying on oneself is useless.Who can tell clearly about life?You don't know what's ahead, and what you want to do is actually not up to you.

On the mountain, the mountain road is rugged, but it is not difficult to walk.The wind blows in front of the temple, and the two doors are closed tightly.Shen Yu stepped forward to knock on each other, and after a while, the little novice opened the door and invited them in.This is just a small temple, the cool air hits your face after entering, there are no flowers and plants in winter, so quiet that you can't bear to disturb it.

"The temples here are the most effective for hundreds of miles," said the little monk who led the way.

Shen Yu and Xu Shijin didn't speak. Most temples would say that when they met pilgrims.But where in the world are there so many efficacious Buddhas?

There are burning incense in the temple, and oil lamps are hung outside several small halls.Half of the courtyard was planted with flowers and plants by the monks in the temple, and now there is no grass growing; the other half is planted with vegetables and fruits, which are sparse, but there are many red persimmons hanging on the trees, which is really strange.

Shen Yu and Xu Shijin are both from the family. They were in Yejing before, and they went to many big temples with their elders every year.The Buddha there is solemn and solemn. After entering the hall, he bowed down and worshiped. His Dharma body is so supreme that people dare not look up.

But now it is just a small temple. When worshiping Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, the sincerity and admiration are the same.

"Do you know what Bodhisattva we are worshiping?" Shen Yu asked her in a low voice while walking in the courtyard.

Xu Shijin shook his head.

Shen Yu laughed.

But even if you don't know each other, your mind will remain the same.

Xu Shijin was calm, but Shen Yu obviously did not have her realm.When he saw the red persimmons on the tree, he felt itchy and said to Xu Shijin, "Do you want to eat it? Let me ask for you."

"Okay."

Xu Shijin continued to stroll by himself. The courtyard was in the form of small rooms, where many Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were enshrined.The room inside is gray with dust on the walls.The color of the Bodhisattva is old, with a thin layer of gray, all of which have been aged.This small temple is really quiet, there is no one, so quiet.

Xu Shijin couldn't help thinking: The little novice said that the Buddha here is effective. Could it be because too few people came up and the Buddha was too leisurely?
After thinking about it, he felt that he was blaspheming the Buddha, Xu Shijin blushed.

Whenever she encounters a merit box, she doesn't have silver taels on her body, but she also puts some expensive ornaments as silver coins.But in the middle of the journey, there was silence in her heart, and she didn't have any thoughts.Kneeling in front of the Bodhisattva, Xu Shijin bent over and shook the prayer wheel.

Amidst the slight sound, Xu Shijin thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what to ask for.

Her life seemed to be over long ago, and she had tried many things.The things she longed for were gone.There is nothing to ask for.

Shaking the prayer wheel, Xu Shijin smelled the man's breath, turned around, and saw Shen Yu wrapped a few red persimmons in a cloth, standing behind her, looking at her with a smile.

He asked, "Did you finish your wish?"

Xu Shijin said, "It's Xu."

The moment Shen Yu stood behind her, she suddenly had a wish.This person who is very good to her, her wish, is him.

Shen Yu's life is different from hers. If she is dark and deep, his eyes will be full of brilliance.Even though he is in the mud now, Xu Shijin still firmly believes that Shen Yu will return to Yejing and the Shen family one day.

Then let her Shen Xiaoyu be even more brilliant.She is willing to give him all her little luck.

The two left the temple, and Shen Yu gave her persimmons to eat.This is the only way, really out of the village.

"Xiao Jin, have you thought about what to do in the future?" Shen Yu asked casually.

Xu Shijin didn't know that she was in a state of confusion most of the time.She wants revenge first, but after that, what should she think?

She asked Shen Yu back, "You can't go back to Yejing. The Shen family has been in your house for a long time, and you can't go back either. Have you thought about what you will do in the future? Or do you want to wander around with me?"

"Can't I follow you?" Shen Yu asked with an easy-going smile.He didn't care about the question, he looked sideways at the street, but shrank slightly.

He was nervous, afraid that she would give a negative answer.

What is the relationship between him and Xiaojin now?

Shen Yu didn't want to ask, he thought it was fine now.

"Yes." Xu Shijin gave him a clear answer.She will not push Shen Yu away until the unknown fate reaches her feet.

"But in the future, it's not all about me." Xu Shijin said again.

Shen Yu was silent for a while, and said slowly, "Xiao Jin, you know me, I don't have any big ambitions. I have always followed the family's arrangements, and I will do what the elders ask me to do. I originally, If you want to be a dandy, let your life go by, but I do have a wish in my heart."

"Please say."

"In my whole life, I hope to find someone. I love her, and she loves me. We can hold hands. I can marry her in a fair way."

Xu Shijin was dazed for a moment, and his smile changed slightly.

Shen Yu asked, "What about you? I think your favorite is power and love. Is it still like this now?"

Xu Shijin was silent for a while, and said softly, "I just want to find my lover."

Shen Yu put his arms around her shoulders and said softly, "I wish you all your wishes come true."

Xu Shijin raised his head and smiled at him, "I wish you all the best."

The two stopped talking about it.

Back to the original intention of making money.

Standing in front of a large gambling house, the corners of Xu Shijin's mouth twitched, and he looked at the confident Shen Yu beside him, "Is this how you make money?"

"Yeah, when it comes to making money, how can it be easier than gambling?" Shen Yu resumed his chic and playful appearance, winked at her, and grabbed her shoulders, "Xiaojin, eating, drinking, and gambling are terrible. They are all my specialty projects. In this regard, you have to trust me."

Xu Shijin believed that Mr. Shen had been in that circle for so many years, of course it was impossible for him to be in vain.

Shen Yu told Xu Shijin, "Follow me closely, the casino is chaotic, don't run around."

Xu Shijin smiled and held out his hand.

Shen Yu looked at himself up and down, wondering, "What do you want?"

"...Shen Xiaoyu, aren't you good at eating, drinking, and gambling?" Xu Shijin smiled slyly, and took his hand, "A girl stretched out her hand to you, and you don't know what she is going to do?"

She reached out and took Shen Yu's hand hanging beside her.

Shen Yu froze for a moment, thinking: I never dare to guess what you want.Xiaojin, you are so different.

Xu Shijin was indeed so different.

Shen Yu entered the gambling house, thinking that this was his world.He has been in the casino for many years, and he can handle any game.In his plan, he must let Xu Shijin see his bravery, and let Miss Xu know that he still has some skills.Shen Yu was even prepared to win too much money, and he and Xu Shijin were going to be chased and killed by the boss of the gambling shop.

Simen Fangbao, Liubo, Chess, Touhu, Horse Hanging, Shuangcurong, Selection of Immortals, Addition and Subtraction, Inserting and Turning Off Fire, Big and Small Elephant Plays... Various games are dazzling, and people who are red-eyed gambled loudly, and the whole The atmosphere in the casino is extremely hot.

Mr. Shen is familiar with the door and the way, once he entered, he found a sense of familiarity and was at his fingertips.

Xu Shijin stood behind him and watched.

"big big big!"

"Small! It must be small!"

"This way, you idiot!"

"The card is not like this, get out!"

Xu Shijin stood behind all the time, and after Shen Yu finished, she whispered to him, "I'm a little dizzy, go and stand by the door."

Shen Yu got up immediately, "I'll accompany..."

"No, it's just a few steps away." Xu Shijin pointed to the direction of the door and gave him a comforting smile, "This is not Yejing, no one knows me, I'm safe. Follow me all the time, do Think of me first, when one day you are not around, I will be very sad."

Shen Yuduo wanted to say: Then why don't I stay with you all the time?How much I want to be nice to you, so nice that you can never find another person like this, and let you stay by my side for the rest of your life.

He didn't say anything, just smiled, nodded, and sat down again.

In the next move, he played absent-mindedly.

After losing two games, Xu Shijin still hasn't returned.Shen Yu couldn't sit still and went to find Xu Shijin.Then he was dumbfounded, and at a poker table at the door, he saw Miss Xu taking a seat and fighting with a group of people.

"Xiao Jin, you..." Shen Yu stammered.

"Hush," she said, turning her head back, "don't affect me."

Shen Yu stood behind her and watched. He found that Miss Xu seemed to be quite used to... a gambling house?
The man on the opposite side belittled Xu Shijin at first and wanted to make a profit.Xu Shijin smiled and agreed, and then won a small win. She was embarrassed, "Oh, good luck."

The girl opposite is so easy to talk, the man is not easy to get angry.Just ask, "Is the girl still playing?"

"Play." Xu Shijin said, she stretched her hand back, "Shen Xiaoyu, Yin Zi."

"..." Shen Yu paid out the silver taels speechlessly.

While watching from the sidelines, Shen Yu gradually realized that Xu Shijin was really amazing.Winning or losing, winning or losing, she seems to be able to touch the same with a few hands, small wins, big wins, all kinds of gambling methods, she can quickly get started.And she can take care of the opponent's emotions, before the opponent is about to collapse, lose a game, so that the opponent can see hope.

Shen Yu himself is a veteran, he can easily detect Xu Shijin's wins and losses in every hand.He didn't pay attention at first, but later found out that the whole arrangement seemed to be under Xu Shijin's control?

How does she do it?
Shen Yu himself has a foundation in martial arts, and in this kind of place, he has an inherent advantage.But Xu Shijin was different, she definitely didn't know any martial arts, she was just a weak woman.

But Xu Shijin can play to the same level as him.

After playing for an hour, the boss was about to be alarmed, so the two left.

When they came in, they probably only had less than ten taels of silver on them.When going out, if you have a lot of money, you need to go to the bank.Shen Yu was in a good mood and asked Xu Shijin, "How did you do it?"

"Mental arithmetic." Xu Shijin said, "You play the game by relying on your five keen senses. I rely on my calculation ability. The whole game is a big chess game, and everyone enters the game together. From the very beginning, I started Forget it, count everyone’s chips, observe his emotions, and go step by step. As long as he is a human, there will be mistakes. But I don’t like this kind of algorithm, it’s too subjective. I prefer to play an objective game , the size of the dice, the positive and negative of the cards, I can calculate them all. But this is more difficult, if someone sits with me and gives me hints, it will be much easier."

She smiled, "Shen Xiaoyu, the gambling house is quite fun."

"..." Shen Yu didn't speak for a long time.

When they returned to the village, Shen Yu said, "Although I am no longer the commander of Jinyiwei, I still have some resources that I can use. I have not completely cut off from Yejing, nor have I ceased contact with the Shen family. You know that I am a chess piece of the Shen family. When I left Beijing, the Shen family asked me to play the role. But if you want to do something, the resources in my hands can be used by you."

Xu Shijin raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu smiled, "Didn't you show your hand in the gambling house just to convince me?" He paused, "Actually, you don't have to do this, as long as you tell me, I will agree."

"Xiao Jin, you never know, I'm on your side, and I won't stop you whatever you want to do."

Xu Shijin felt a little blocked and uncomfortable.

She's still...not used to it.

She said, "I'm sorry."

Everything about her is calculated.She has never encountered anything that does not require calculations. She is trying to adapt to Shen Yu, but it is still difficult.

She is terrible.

But she is already like this, and it is difficult to change.

Shen Yu looked at her tired expression and felt that he was asking too much of her.

He sighed, stepped forward, and hugged her.

Shen Yu said softly, "From now on, get used to it little by little. Just like when we were young, you told me everything at that time."

Xu Shijin nodded slightly in his arms.

She raised her head and looked at him with cold eyes. He gave her expectation and trust.

Xu Shijin asked, "Jin Yiwei has been spying on the prince all these years, right?"

"Correct."

"Your Majesty's order?"

"Correct."

"He's getting more and more dissatisfied with the prince, isn't he?"

"Correct."

"Is he actually waiting for the opportunity to attack the prince?"

"Correct."

"You are in the Jinyiwei, and you are actually sorting out and collecting all the information. All the information about the Jinyiwei in the world is in your hands, right?"

"Correct."

"From the very beginning, His Majesty has arranged for you like this. You often go in and out of brothels, gambling houses, and wild farms in the countryside for the convenience of obtaining information, right?"

"Correct."

"That is to say, apart from the aboveboard secretary, Jin Yiwei's information actually comes from behind the scenes?"

"Correct."

"In fact, even if you are not the commander of Jinyiwei now, even if you have been dismissed, you will still go back immediately if necessary? Your Majesty, this is just a trade-off. He may ask you to go back at any time?"

"Correct."

Xu Shijin heaved a long sigh of relief.

After reuniting with Shen Yu that day, she began to have this kind of speculation.But she had never been confirmed, and she didn't think Shen Yu would tell her the truth.

But in fact, Shen Yu told her all about it.

Shen Yuwen smiled, "Xiao Jin, you are really smart."

Xu Shijin's smile was a bit bitter: she's not smart at all.If Shen Yu hadn't given her a hint that day, she would have stepped into His Majesty's plan sooner or later.She has done so many things for the prince, probably all in the eyes of His Majesty.Thinking that everything is under control, but actually being looked at by others as a clown, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

Shen Yu whispered, "Your Majesty doesn't know too much about you, so you don't have to worry."

Xu Shijin glanced at him, and naturally knew that Shen Yu was covering for her.

She was a little embarrassed: All these years... What is she like in Shen Yu's eyes.Shen Yu saw it all!

He looks at her all the time!Been looking at her!
Shen Yu looked at her indifferently, "Now, are you still willing to tell me the plan?"

After a while, Xu Shijin raised his head, expressionless, "I have four letters to send out. One is for His Majesty, one is for the Xu family, one is for Lu Ming'an, and one is for Lu Mingshan."

Shen Yu was slightly surprised.It was rare for him to see Xu Shijin not smiling in front of him, and it was rare for him to see the indifferent expression on Miss Xu's face.There was a fire burning in his heart, and he understood that this was the first step for Xu Shijin to let go of his defenses.

"These years, if you have been checking me and the prince, you should know about the collusion between the Lu family and the Guangping palace. The prince and I didn't want Lu Mingshan and the Guangping palace to get married that day. I deliberately sabotaged the marriage between Lu Mingshan and A Ling. I just don’t want the Lu family’s power to grow. I know what the Guangping Palace has been doing these years. I think now, if you Jinyiwei is even investigating the prince, you will also know about the affairs of the Guangping Palace. Now that you know, you should You know, now that the Lu family is falling for the prince, Lu Mingshan likes to make troubles, the first step for him to gain the prince's trust is to go to Jiangzhou, cooperate with the Guangping palace, and fall to the prince together."

"At first I was just guessing, but now I'm sure His Majesty is dissatisfied with the Crown Prince. Then, why not make His Majesty even more dissatisfied. Even if I'm not in Yejing, even if I don't have a single soldier in my hands, I still want Liu Wang to die."

"In Yejing, I want to cooperate with the Xu family. The Xu family is now riding a tiger, and after what happened to me, they may not fully trust the prince. As for His Majesty, I need to explain. If everything is in His Majesty's eyes, I need to do it. It is clean and will not arouse His Majesty's suspicion."

"As for Lu Mingshan, if he wants to cooperate with the Guangping Palace, I might as well give them a push to let them cooperate faster... Well, Your Majesty asked Jin Yiwei to investigate Lu's house for so long, so it's time to do it now? If I didn't expect to investigate, Master Shen Yan is responsible for this matter, after all, he has been investigating for so long. So, it might as well make the cooperation between Guangping Palace and Lu Mingshan even crazier."

"Only if they have no way to retreat, the prince will have no way to retreat. I know Liu Wang very well, and I can account for most of his actions."

"Shen Yu, this time, I insist on Liu Wang's death."

"He's dead, all of us have a chance." Xu Shijin raised his eyes.
