The new version of Lu Ding Ji

Chapter Three

Kangxi came out of the Compassionate Palace.Wei Xiaobao followed back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation and waited outside the hall for the transmission.After a long time, seeing Ajichi, the commander of the Qianfeng Battalion, come out of the hall, Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "The emperor must mobilize the Qianfeng Battalion, and step up strict precautions against assassins." Then the eunuch sent Wei Xiaobao to see him.Kangxi dismissed the guards and eunuchs and ordered him to close the palace door.

Kangxi frowned, and paced up and down the hall, obviously having a problem in his heart, and the Health Committee would not let it go.Seeing this, Wei Xiaobao was worried.The little emperor grew older and more powerful, every time Wei Xiaobao saw him, he always felt that his intimacy decreased and his fear increased, and he was no longer as unscrupulous as when they were fighting each other.

After a while, Kangxi said: "Xiao Guizi, there is one thing that I don't know how to do." Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor is smart and wise, Zhuge Liang is willing to bow down, and the idea he came up with must be high." Kangxi said: " This time, even Zhuge Liang can’t do anything about it. You have three great achievements, and I didn’t reward you for any of them. The capture of Mao Dongzhu is the first one. The surrender of Mongolia and Tibet is the second one. Just now Sending people to kill the rebels and saving the queen mother is the third thing. You are young and have already been made an earl, so I can never make you king!" Having said this, he laughed out loud.

Wei Xiaobao just realized that the emperor was joking with him, and said happily: "These few things are all thanks to the Queen Mother and the emperor's great blessing, and all the credit belongs to the emperor himself. It's a pity that the emperor can't make him an official, otherwise, the emperor should be promoted three levels in a row. yes."

Kangxi laughed again, and said: "Although the emperor can't promote his own official position, since ancient times, I don't know how many emperors like to add titles to themselves. If there is any celebration, if you win a small battle, you can add a few titles. It's a courtier's invitation, but it's not the emperor who puts gold on his face. It's quite ridiculous for a real good emperor to call himself such a compliment, not to mention that many tyrants and foolish emperors are also a series of benevolent, civil, military, constitutional, wise and so on. The more confused the emperor, The longer the title, the shameless. Are there any sages and lords in ancient times who are stronger than Yao, Shun and Yu Tang? But Yao is Yao, and Shun is Shun. Later generations admire them, and at most they can only be called Great Shun and Great Yu. To be an emperor If you have three points of self-knowledge, you won't have a title as long as a few crosses."

Wei Xiaobao said: "It turns out that Niaosheng Fish Soup doesn't add his title. The emperor is Niaosheng Fish Soup, so naturally he doesn't add it. But according to the servants, after defeating Wu Sangui, if the Emperor doesn't add a few titles, the scenery will be fine. It would be too much of a disadvantage."

Kangxi laughed and said: "What's the disadvantage?" Wei Xiaobao said: "After defeating Wu Sangui, the emperor awarded the meritorious officials and rewarded the three armies. Everyone wants to be promoted and get rich. Not only can the emperor himself not be promoted, but he wants to open up the warehouse. Huang Chengcheng's gold, Wouldn't it be a big waste of money to move out boxes of vain money?" Kangxi laughed and said, "You are just ignorant and useless. Wipe away Wu Ni, the world will be peaceful, and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. That is your master's promotion. Get rich." Wei Xiaobao said, "So that's how it is."

Kangxi said: "But after defeating Wu Ni, the ministers must be honored. These flattering kings can't help me to share my worries when they have something to do. Once they are done, they will come to pick up the ready-made cheap and flatter me." Wei Xiaobao Said: "The emperor has a foresight in everything. We watched quietly at that time. Those officials who asked the emperor to give him a title, whoever is the king of flattery." Kangxi laughed: "Yes! At that time, I kicked the **** dog Ass." The monarchs and ministers laughed at each other.

Sure enough, as Kangxi expected, after Wu Sangui was leveled, the ministers took honorary titles, sang meritorious deeds, and flattered everyone.Kangxi issued an edict: "Although the thieves have been pacified and the wounds have not recovered, the monarchs and ministers should improve the province, sympathize with the soldiers and support the people, promulgate morality, and be honest and honest, so as to achieve peace. It's really shameful to ask for favors and rewards." This was already very serious, but the officials didn't realize it, thinking that Kangxi was just pretending to decline, and asked for the honorary title again.Kangxi issued an edict: "I have been studying since I was a child, and I feel that the ancients have always acted in the same way, so I take it as a warning. I am afraid that a few tasks will be neglected, and there will be few restraints. I will eat clothes and eat food, and Qi Han is hot and hot. I dare not spare time." Occasionally, there is a breach of harmony, and I will try to hear it. In the middle of the night, it is advisable to play a few newspapers and stand up in clothes. There is no merit to record at all. If you regain my honorary title, Garr and other official ranks, you will be ashamed, what honor is there?"

The officials flattered and slapped the horse's feet, and they were so ashamed, so they didn't dare to invite again.This is something to do later, press no table.

Kangxi laughed and said: "The emperor himself has a lot of titles. It's not unusual. There was an Emperor Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty. That's strange." Wei Xiaobao said: "This emperor, I have seen him several times." Kangxi wondered: "Have you seen him several times? Are you dreaming?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No. I met him on the stage. There is a play called "Meilong Town". I saw a girl selling wine, Li Feng, she was beautiful, so I flirted with her."

Kangxi laughed and said: "Emperor Zhengde likes to travel in modest clothes. There may be something about Sister Li Feng. This emperor does not add his own title, but likes to designate himself an official. He named himself 'Governor, Military Affairs, Mighty General, Chief Military Officer'" When encountering any troubles, he issued an edict: "The northern bandits violated the frontier, and the special governor of military affairs, the mighty general, and the commander-in-chief Zhu Shou led the six armies to march." Zhu Shou was his name. After a battle, in fact It was a defeat, but he said it was a victory, he made great contributions, and issued an imperial decree to make himself the Duke of Zhen Guo and increase his salary by five thousand shi."

Wei Xiaobao laughed loudly, and said: "This man is not the emperor, but he is the Duke of Zhen, he is really stupid."

Kangxi laughed and said: "At that time, the ministers all objected, saying that if you were to be named Duke of Zhen, you would have to follow up with the three generations of your ancestors. It doesn't matter if the emperor himself called Duke of Zhen, the emperor's ancestors were all emperors for three generations, and they would definitely not be demoted. Emperor Zhengde Ignore it, and decided to be the Duke of Zhen Guo. Later, he said that he had made great contributions and named himself a grand teacher. Fortunately, he died early, otherwise the official title would become bigger and bigger. Later, he had to usurp his own position and simply become the emperor. "Wei Xiaobao didn't dare to say anything when he heard the word "usurp the throne", he only laughed a few times.

Kangxi said: "Emperor Zhengde did a lot of stupid things, causing the people to suffer. Although he is not good, half of it was taught by eunuchs and courtiers." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes. Bad emperors love to use bad eunuchs And treacherous ministers, good emperors use good eunuchs and loyal ministers." Kangxi shook his head slightly and said: "That's not the case. There are also bad eunuchs and treacherous ministers around good emperors, but if the emperor is not confused, he can be fooled for a while. , and finally was able to expose the insidiousness and cunning of the treacherous officials."

Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes." His heart couldn't help beating wildly.

Kangxi asked: "What's the name of that bitch's adulterer Mao Dongzhu?" Wei Xiaobao said: "His name is Thin Toutuo, what is his real name, I don't know the servant." Kangxi said: "He is so fat, like It's a meat ball, why is it called Thin Toutuo?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I heard that he was tall and thin at first, but after taking the poison from the leader of Shenlong Sect, he shrank into a ball and became a short and fat man." Kangxi said again Question: "How do you know that he and Mao Dongzhu hid in Concubine Shen's sedan chair and coerced the Queen Mother to send them out of the palace?"

Wei Xiaobao thought in a flash: "The emperor first said that I sent people to kill the rebels and saved the empress dowager, and I contributed a lot. Now he said that the two of them hid in the empress dowager's sedan chair and forced the empress dowager to send them out of the palace. Then the three of them will go home The emperor doesn't know about the assassination. However, no matter if the three of them have escaped, captured alive, or beaten to death, they can't be concealed. What should I say?"

Seeing that he was hesitant to answer, Kangxi asked: "Why? Is there anything taboo?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No, no! This slave is wondering why these two rebels are sitting in the princess' sedan chair. After thinking about it, I still can't figure it out, so I still need to ask the emperor to enlighten me." Kangxi said: "Let me ask you first: How do you know that the person sitting in the sedan chair is not a concubine, so you ordered the guards to attack the imperial sedan chair?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "It turns out that the emperor thought that the guards in the palace killed Thin Toutuo and Mao Dongzhu. This matter will be exposed after all, so I'll just say it." Then he said: "The slave deserves death, the emperor forgives the crime." Said and knelt down.

Kangxi frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Wei Xiaobao said, "According to the emperor's decree, the servant escorted the rebellious Mao Dongzhu to the Palace of Compassion. After passing through the imperial garden, suddenly there was a loud noise behind the rockery, and three people dressed in the clothes of guards and eunuchs jumped out. The people came and grabbed the servants and asked me to bring them to find the emperor. The martial arts of these three people are extremely high, and the fingers of the servants were almost broken by them." As he spoke, he raised his left hand, and sure enough, all five fingers were bruised swollen.

Kangxi said: "What are they looking for me for?" Wei Xiaobao said: "These three people must be assassins sent by Wu Sangui, even if the servant is crushed to death by them, he will definitely not bring them to commit crimes, just right... · No, it’s not a coincidence, it’s just a coincidence. It just so happened that the queen mother and the concubine arrived. The three assassins were confused, thinking that the emperor’s holy car was sitting in the concubine’s sedan chair, so they rushed out to attack. It was the empress dowager and the emperor’s car. Hongfu Qitian, it was the traitor who killed the traitor. I don't know if the three assassins were killed by the guards or captured, the slave will go to find out the answer."

Kangxi said: "The three assassins may not be foolish, most of them are directed by you, right? You think that instead of the assassins attacking me, it is better to kill the concubine. As long as they make a move, there will be chaos in the palace, and I will not be hurt." Now, your little life is saved, isn't it?" Wei Xiaobao told Kangxi what was on his mind, knowing that he couldn't deny it, so he kowtowed repeatedly.

Kangxi said: "You instructed the assassin to harm the concubine, you should be beheaded, but you still have such a three-point loyalty to me..." Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said: "It's not three points, it's very , [-] percent, [-] percent, [-] percent loyalty and love." Kangxi smiled and said, "Not necessarily?" Wei Xiaobao said, "I see, I see, I see it!"

Kangxi stretched out his foot and kicked him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Damn it, just stand up." Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that his head was sweating, kowtowed and stood up.Kangxi smiled and said: "You have made three great achievements. I couldn't think of a way to reward you at first, but now I think of it. You point out assassins, commit murders, and have the heart of disobedience, but I will not punish you. Make atonement for your crimes. Let's do it."

Wei Xiaobao said: "Excellent, excellent. It's like the emperor pushes the Pai Gow. The slaves win in the front, and the emperor wins in the second. Everyone is talking straight. The emperor won't take my money, and he won't compensate me." He thought: " If you don’t get promoted, you won’t get promoted. Can you still confer on me as a mighty general and Duke of the state? Even if you confer on me as grand master, it’s nothing special. Back then, when Tang Bohu ordered Qiuxiang, Hua Taishi’s two sons, Hua Da and Hua Er, were idiots. Yes. The two sons of Mrs. Wei, Wei Da and Wei Er, are also in such a mess, what a disaster."

Kangxi said: "This short and fat thief is really treacherous in his heart. After you catch his friend, it is difficult to get back. He expected that you would definitely send him to the palace and hand it over to the Queen Mother, so he took the risk and broke into the Palace of Compassion and Ning Go, make trouble, and threaten the Empress Dowager. At this time, the number of guards in the palace has increased several times, and the guards are heavily guarded. He can no longer take advantage of others and escape over the wall like last time. He only hopes to sit in the sedan chair of Concubine Shen. The Empress Dowager will personally accompany you to the gate of the palace, and both of you can escape. He never expected that, by a strange coincidence, you would instruct an assassin to attack Concubine Shen's sedan chair and kill the two traitors."

Wei Xiaobao suddenly realized, and said: "So that's how it is. The empress dowager and the emperor are so blessed, it's not bad at all." He thought: "No wonder when I sent the old bitch, the empress dowager had a bad face, as if I owed her 300 million. It seems that the taels of silver have not been returned. It turned out that Thin Toutuo had already been hiding in the dormitory at that time, mostly on the bed. Thin Toutuo had lived in the Compassionate Ning Palace for many days, and he knew the way very well. He had slept in this big bed for countless nights. , It’s really fortunate that he came up with this clever plan. I don’t know how long he has been waiting in the queen mother’s bedroom? For a few days, I don’t know what kind of tricks have been done? The monk’s hat on the head of the old emperor of Mount Wutai is probably a little green.”

Kangxi couldn't guess the dirty thoughts in his heart, and said with a smile: "The queen mother and I are very lucky, and your blessing is not small."

Wei Xiaobao said: "Slaves are not blessed in the first place, but after following the emperor for a long time, they have gained some of the emperor's blessings."

Kangxi laughed loudly, and asked, "Then Gui Xinshu is nicknamed 'Shenquan Wudi', so is his martial arts really good?"

When Kangxi asked this question amidst loud laughter, a thunderbolt sounded in Wei Xiaobao's ears, his body swayed, he felt his legs were filled with vinegar, sore and soft, and said: "This ························ Kangxi sneered: "Father, Mother, anti-Qing and Ming! Wei Xiangzhu, you are so courageous!"

Wei Xiaobao felt dizzy, and his mind was in a mess. His first thought was to reach for the dagger from his boot, but he immediately remembered: "He knows everything! Since he asked this question, it was a flop compared to me. His martial art is higher than mine, I can stab him with a sword and he won't die. Even if I can kill him, I will definitely not kill him!" Without any hesitation, he immediately knelt down and shouted: "Xiao Guizi surrender, please forgive me, Xiao Xuanzi!"

The word "Little Xuanzi" came into his ears, and all kinds of things about playing with him in the martial arts competition in the past filled Kangxi's heart, he couldn't help but sighed, and said: "You...you have been hiding it from me."

Wei Xiaobao kowtowed and said: "Although this servant is in Tiandihui, he is loyal to the emperor and has never done anything wrong to the emperor." Kangxi said solemnly: "If you have the slightest objection, how can you live until today?" Hearing that his tone was a little loose, Wei Xiaobao quickly kowtowed and said: "The emperor's fish soup with bird raw is better than Zhuge Zhiliang. The slave is loyal to the master, just like Guan Yun's master."

Kangxi couldn't help laughing, and cursed in his heart: "Fuck, what is Zhuge Zhiliang, Guan Yunzhi?" But at this critical moment, if he pretended to use words, the clown made jokes, climbed up the pole, and never I couldn't stop subduing him, and shouted: "You come to me from the beginning to the end, one by one! As long as there is half a lie, I will immediately chop you into dog meat sauce!" Speaking of the last four words, a smile could not help but appear on the corner of the mouth.

Wei Xiaobao was crawling on the ground, he couldn't see that his expression had calmed down, but he heard the seriousness of the tone, he quickly kowtowed and said: "Yes, yes. The emperor knows everything, how dare this slave keep the slightest secret?" Now how will he go to Prince Kang's mansion to kill Ao How he was captured by the Tiandi Club, how he worshiped Chen Jinnan as his teacher, how he was forced to join the club and became the incense master of Qingmutang, and so on. I told the truth one by one, and finally told how I met the three returning home, how I lost to Gui Zhong at the dice, How to draw a secret melody, how to be captured by Gui Erniang in the Garden of Compassion, how to guide three people to attack the concubine's luan sedan in order to get the emperor's police, etc. As for the theft of "42 Chapters", etc. carry.He has said such a long speech, but there are few lies and many truths, which is the first time in his life that he has solved the problem.

Kangxi kept asking about the situation of Tiandihui, and Wei Xiaobao also reported the truth.Kangxi listened for a while, nodded, and said: "Five people share a poem, and no one knows about Hong Ying." Wei Xiaobao was startled: "The emperor even knows the incision of the brothers in our association." Then read: : "Since then, all the brothers have been passed on, and later when they met and reunited." Kangxi said: "When I first entered Hongmen to marry brothers, I swore to show my sincerity on the same day." " Kangxi said: "The brothers in front of the Zhongyi Hall are here, and there will be millions of soldiers in the city." Wei Xiaobao read: "Come to the Fude Temple and vow to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, I, Hong Ying."

According to the rules of Tiandihui, once he finished reading these two lines of poems, Kangxi only smiled slightly when he announced his name, stated his affiliation, and his position in the meeting.Wei Xiaobao said happily: "It turns out that the emperor is also a brother of our society. I don't know what kind of hall it is? A few sticks of incense were burned..." Speaking of this, he immediately realized that he was completely foolish. He is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, how could he come here? "Anti-Qing and Fuming"?Lian said: "Slap you silly boy, hit you silly boy!" There was a sound of slapping, and he slapped himself twice on the mouth.

Kangxi stood up, walked up and down the hall, and said: "You are an official in Manchuria, and you eat Lumi from the Qing Dynasty, but you have the idea of ​​​​anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty in your heart. If you are not thinking of you With a little meritorious work, you will have a hundred heads, and you have already cut them off." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes! The emperor is magnanimous, and this servant's head is preserved today. This servant immediately withdraws from the association. The incense of the Heaven and Earth Association The Lord will not do anything. From now on, I will never oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and I will specifically oppose the Ming Dynasty and restore the Qing Dynasty." Kangxi secretly laughed, and cursed: "My Qing Dynasty has not perished, so why do you want to restore it? You are talking nonsense!"

Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! This slave will protect my country for thousands of years. Whatever the emperor wants me to do, I will do, and what the emperor wants me to do, this slave will do."

Kangxi said in a low and deep voice, word by word: "Okay! I want you to fight against heaven and earth!"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, yes!" He secretly groaned in his heart, his face couldn't help showing distress.

Kangxi said: "You are full of flattering words, saying that you are loyal to me, I don't know if it is true or not." Wei Xiaobao hurriedly said: "It's all real gold, it's all real gold, there's nothing more real." Kangxi said: "I'll check you carefully. , at least you haven’t done any treasonable evil to me. If you listen to my order, this time you will pick up the world, cut the weeds and root out the roots, and kill all the rebels, then you will forgive your deception if you make atonement You are guilty of a great crime, maybe I will reward you with something. If you are still cunning and deceitful, double-faced, hehe, can't I kill Wei Xiangzhu of the Tiandihui?"

Wei Xiaobao was so frightened that his whole body was in cold sweat, he said repeatedly: "Yes, yes. If the emperor wants to kill a slave, it's just like crushing an ant to death. But... but the emperor is like bird raw fish soup, and he doesn't kill loyal ministers." " Kangxi snorted, and said: "What kind of loyal minister are you? You are a traitorous minister with a white face." Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor's lesson: It is true that a slave has kept some things from the emperor. But it is indeed not A traitor with a white face. Dong Zhuo, Cao Cao, I am determined not to do it." Kangxi said: "Okay! Even if you are not a traitor with a white face, you are a clown with a white nose." Wei Xiaobao was relieved when the emperor assigned him such a role , hurriedly said: "A clown is a clown, just like... like Shi Qian and Zhu Guangzu, they can also make meritorious service to the emperor."

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said: "Hmph, you always insist on calling yourself a good person, so let's go, gather your troops, and go to the Tiandihui, Muwangfu, and Gui Xinshu as rebels. Here it is. If one is lost, one of your hands will be cut off, and if four are lost, one hand and one pair of feet will be chopped off. If five are lost, what will be cut off from you?" Wei Xiaobao said: "This ········································································ Kangxi couldn't help laughing out loud, and cursed, "Fuck it, you will be able to make wishful thinking."

Wei Xiaobao said with a sad face: "The emperor chopped off my two hands and two feet, most of the servants will not survive, and the head on the neck is the same." He thought: "He even knows about the Mu Palace, take it as the real news. Well-informed."

Kangxi reached into his sleeve, took out a piece of paper, and read: "Chen Jinnan, chief steward of Tiandihui, Wei Xiaobao, incense master of Qingmu Hall, Li Lishi, Fan Gang, Xu Tianchuan, Taoist Xuanzhen, Qian Laoben, Gao Yanchao, Fengji Zhong and so on; Mu Jiansheng, Liu Dahong, Wu Lishen, etc. from the Mu family, the three assassins who entered the palace are Gui Xinshu, Gui Erniang, and Gui Zhong. One, two, three, four, five... There are 43 rebels in total, except for yourself, 42 in total."

Wei Xiaobao knelt down again, kowtowed twice, and said: "Your Majesty, although these people said they wanted to turn back the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, they failed to turn back the success. Let me tell them that the Emperor knows astronomy, and the next Knowing geography, the past and the future, everything. The emperor said that the Great Qing Dynasty lasted for thousands of years, which must be true. It is impossible to fight against the Qing Dynasty, so everyone should break up."

Kangxi reached out and slapped the table heavily, and said sharply, "Are you determined to disobey orders and refuse to catch the traitor?"

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "A hero in the Jianghu, loyalty is the most important thing. If I capture Master and the others, the emperor will definitely cut off their heads. In this way, Wei Xiaobao betrayed his friends and became Wu Sangui. Alas, who was not good at that time Pretending to be Xiao Guizi. Xiao Guizi, Xiao Guizi, isn’t he Wu Sangui’s youngest son? I, the Earl, don’t do it anymore, I’ll find a way to tell Master and all of them to escape, you fucking rotten ducks.”

Seeing that he didn't answer, Kangxi became even angrier, and shouted, "What's the matter? Don't you know that you have committed a serious crime? I gave you a good opportunity to reform and make amends, but you are still bargaining with me?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty, they are coming to harm you, I will try my best to stop them, the slave is showing loyalty to you. The emperor wants to take them, but the slave is caught in the middle, it is difficult to be a human being, so I have to ask you for mercy, that is also showing loyalty."

Kangxi said angrily: "Your heart is for the rebels. You don't know what is good or what is wrong, and you have no respect for the emperor, and you still talk about loyalty?" After a pause, he said: "You saved my life, you saved my father, you saved Empress Dowager, if I kill you today, you will definitely not accept it in your heart, and you will say that I have no loyalty to you, will you?"

At this point, Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to bite the bullet, and said: "Yes. The emperor promised before, even if the slave did something wrong, the emperor will spare my life. Long live Lord Jinkou, you can't go back on what you said." Kangxi Said: "Okay, you have far-sightedness, and you have laid down this pawn a long time ago. Hmph, your heart can be punished."

Wei Xiaobao didn't understand the meaning of the words "his heart can be punished", he guessed it was definitely not a good word, since he knew Kangxi, he had never seen him lose his temper so much, he thought: "My head, that's why I cut off my head. It's more than half of the time. The little emperor's temper, it is useless to plead with him, you can only reason with him." Said: "Your Majesty, I have worshiped you as a teacher, and you promised to accept me as an apprentice. Then Chen Jinnan is also me. Master. If I intend to harm you, I am deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors. If I go to harm that master, I am also deceiving my master and destroying my ancestors. Besides... Besides, it is of course common for the emperor to cut off the heads of slaves. But Master Cutting off the apprentice's head is a bit wrong."

Kangxi thought to himself: "The joke about accepting him as an apprentice was indeed said at the time. This kid is arrogant and lawless, and he compares me with the bandit prime minister of the Tiandihui. It is really nonsense..." Right Thinking of this, I suddenly heard the faint voices of people in the distance, ping-pong-pong, and the sound of weapons clashing.

Wei Xiaobao jumped up and said: "There seems to be an assassin. Master, please sit still and let the disciple stand in front of you."

Kangxi snorted and thought to himself: "This kid is wrong in every possible way. After all, he has a heart of loyalty to me." He said: "You can never call me master again. You don't abide by the rules of our school. My master I will fire you." He couldn't help being a little funny.

Only the sound of footsteps was heard, and several people rushed to the gate of the hall and stopped still.After Wei Xiaobao ran to the gate of the palace, he immediately picked up the bolt and locked it, this is a matter of life and death, his hands and feet are unparalleled, he asked: "Who is it?"

Someone outside shouted: "Qizou the emperor: three assassins broke into the palace, the guards of the inner class have surrounded them, and they will be captured soon." Wei Xiaobao thought: "The three returning home can't escape at last." He shouted: "The emperor knows. Immediately add a hundred guards to escort the front and back of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and thirty people must stand on the roof." The leader of the guards outside the hall obeyed the order and left.

Kangxi thought to himself: "He is very thoughtful. That day when I was in danger at Mount Wutai, the nun in white fell from the roof. It was really difficult to guard against. Fortunately, this kid blocked the sword in front of me regardless of his own safety."

After a while, the yelling gradually subsided, but soon the clash of weapons sounded again.Kangxi frowned and said, "I can't even hold three assassins. What if three hundred or three thousand come?" Wei Xiaobao said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. People like Gui Xinshu, There are very few in the world, no more than four or five at most."

After a while, only the sound of footsteps and the sound of swords and swords were heard, and the extra guards of the inner class came outside the hall; and the sound of roof tiles around the roof of the hall was heard, and the tall guards jumped onto the top of the hall, and all The guards knew that the emperor was in the hall, so they guarded the eaves and corners of the hall. They dared not go to the roof, otherwise they would stand on the emperor's head, which would be a great disrespect.

Kangxi knew that around the Hall of Mental Cultivation alone, there were at least four to five hundred guards guarding it, and he was determined to be safe, so he ignored the assassin and said, "Look at what this is?" He took out another piece of paper from his sleeve, Spread on the table.

Wei Xiaobao took a closer look and saw a picture, in the middle was a big house, with a flagpole and stone lions in front of the house, a bit like his own earl's mansion; there were more than a dozen cannons lined up around the house, all pointing at the big house.When I looked carefully, the house looked more and more like my own house.

Kangxi said: "Do you recognize this room?" Wei Xiaobao said: "It's a bit like a slave's kennel." Kangxi said: "As long as you recognize it." Pointing to the four characters on the forehead in the picture, he asked: "This Do you recognize the four characters 'Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion'?"

Wei Xiaobao heard that it was indeed his own room, and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat.There are so many cannons lined up around my residence, so naturally something is not good.He once saw two foreign devils, Tang Ruowang and Nan Huairen, fire a cannon. When the cannon was fired, it exploded with a bang, and the flames shot up into the sky, and mud and rocks splashed more than ten feet high. Even if he was wearing a hundred pieces of body protection Baoyi, it was blown to pieces, and thinking of the power of the bombardment, he couldn't help but tremble.

Kangxi said slowly: "Tonight, you Tiandihui, Yunnan Mujia, Huashan faction surnamed Gui, and Wangwu faction's disciple Situ He will gather at your house. My twelve cannons, At this moment, it has been set up in the houses around your house, and the shells and gunpowder have been loaded long ago. You only need to open the window to expose the muzzle and a little gunpowder thread. I am afraid that no rebel can escape with their lives. He escaped without dying, and the soldiers and horses of the vanguard battalion surrounded outside couldn't eat or do anything. Did you see the commander of the vanguard battalion, Ajichi, just now? The Xiaoqi Battalion under your command is not harmonious, maybe they will let you go?"

Wei Xiaobao said in a trembling voice: "The emperor has taken care of everything, and now he is telling this slave that he is sparing his life. The little meritorious work that this slave has done before, is all worthless. left."

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said: "It's good if you understand. It's like when we two played Pai Gow. You won a lot of money first, but you lost it all to me in one bet. What you won before, you spit it out all at once." , Since then, there has been no winning or losing. If we want to play again, we have to start from the beginning."

Wei Xiaobao heaved a sigh of relief and said: "I really want to thank the emperor Long En. From now on, this slave will only concentrate on serving the emperor, not to mention Tiandihui, even if he is the incense master of Tianjiuhui, this slave will not do it anymore." He was secretly anxious: "Master They have made an appointment to meet in my room tonight, how can I tell them not to go?" He said again: "The emperor ordered me to capture these traitors, it was just to test the heart of the slave, in fact, the emperor has already made a clever plan , what is within, what is thousands of miles away."

Only someone outside the palace gate said loudly: "Return to the emperor: the rebels got it!" Kangxi's face was happy, and he shouted: "Bring it in!" Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes!" Turning around, he pulled the latch and opened the palace door.

Dozens of guards embraced the three of them and came in, shouting together: "Kowtow to the emperor, kneel!" Dozens of guards knelt down in unison.Gui Xinshu, Gui Erniang, and Gui Zhong were covered in blood and wounds everywhere, but they stood upright.All three of them were tied up with thick ropes, and there were two guards beside them.

The foreman of the guards shouted: "Kneel down, kneel down!" The three of them returned home to pay attention.There was only a rattling sound from the hall, and blood dripped from the bodies of the three returning home and the injured guard.Gui Erniang glared at Wei Xiaobao angrily, and shouted: "Little traitor, you...you stinky thief!" Seeing the miserable situation of the three, Wei Xiaobao couldn't help feeling sad, and let her insult him without answering.

Kangxi nodded and said, "Go to Xin Shu with the invincible magic fist, but he turned out to be such a bad old man! How many of our people were killed or injured?" The head guard said: "Return to the emperor: the rebels are extremely fierce, and more than 30 guards died in the line of duty. People, more than forty people were injured." Kangxi said "Hey", waved his hands, and secretly praised: "Amazing!" The head guard ordered his subordinates to take the three out.

Suddenly Gui Xin Shu yelled, mobilized his internal strength, and bumped his right shoulder against the guard beside him.The guard yelled "Ah", flew out, hit his head against the wall, and died instantly.Gui Xinshu grabbed the rope tied to Gui Zhong's body, stretched it, pulled it, and with a snap, the rope broke decisively, grabbed his body, and shouted: "Hurry up, child, my mother and I will come later."

As soon as he sent it outside, Gui Zhong flew out from the gate of the hall.At this moment, Gui and his wife both jumped up and rushed towards Kangxi.

Seeing the sudden change, Wei Xiaobao was shocked, rushed up and hugged Kangxi, rolled under the table, turned his back outwards to protect Kangxi.There were only two slaps, and then several guards rushed over and helped Kangxi and Wei Xiaobao up.

When he looked at Gui's couple, he saw that they were both lying in a pool of blood, with seven or eight swords stuck in their backs, and they seemed to be dead.

After Gui Xin Shuli killed dozens of guards, he was seriously injured, and finally mobilized his inner strength, broke the bondage on his son, and immediately rushed towards Kangxi.Gui Erniang understood her husband's intentions. Firstly, she only hoped that the death blow would hurt the life of the Tartar Emperor, and secondly, so that her son could escape in the chaos.The hands and feet of the two were tightly bound by ropes, and they could no longer break free, so they jumped up together and charged towards Kangxi.But when the two of them fought hard, they had run out of fuel and were both in mid-air, spurting blood wildly, unable to hold on any longer, and fell to the ground.Even if the guards stopped hacking, the two of them would have died long ago.

Kangxi calmed down a bit, frowned and said, "Pull it out, pull it out."

The guards agreed in unison, and were about to carry out the bodies of the two, suddenly a figure flickered at the entrance of the hall, and a person rushed in, with extraordinary speed, he threw himself on the corpses of Gui's couple, and shouted: "Mom, Dad!" Gui Zhong.Several guards were about to go down with their swords, but Gui Zhong didn't know how to dodge, and all the swords hit him, only to hear him panting: "Mom, what if you don't accompany me? I don't know Lu..." Coughed twice, bowed his head and died.

He stayed with his mother all his life, and his mother arranged and took care of everything. Now that he left his parents, he was at a loss. Although he escaped from the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he still came back to cling to his parents.

Duo Long, the chief guard, rushed into the hall, knelt down and said, "Return to the emperor: all the assassins in the palace...all... cleared up..." Seeing that the hall was covered with blood , terrified, kowtowed and said: "The Assassin shocked the holy car, slave... the slave deserves to die!"

Kangxi hugged and rolled Wei Xiaobao just now, although it was very embarrassing and detrimental to his dignity, but this person risked his life to protect him, his loyalty to the emperor was unquestionable, and he said to Duolong: "There are still people outside who want to assassinate Wei Xiaobao, you must protect him well , not to leave half a step, let alone let him out of the palace. Tomorrow morning, I will listen to other orders." Duo Long replied hurriedly: "Yes, yes. This slave will protect Wei Dutong with all his heart." Wei Xiaobao secretly complained: "The emperor wants tonight Bombarded the Earl's Mansion, afraid that I would tip off the news, and ordered Doron to watch me."

Kangxi walked to the gate of the hall, and thought again: "Xiao Guizi is very cunning, Duolong is no match for him." Turning his head, he said, "Duolong, send more people to follow Wei Xiaobao closely, and don't let him talk to others. , and you can’t let him deliver anything out of the palace. All in all, the situation is dangerous, so you just treat him as a criminal.” Duo Long replied: “Yes, yes. The emperor treats his subjects with great care.” He only said that the emperor cherished it Wei Xiaobao, don't let the assassin have a chance to harm him.Wei Xiaobao said: "Your Majesty's kindness, it's hard for a slave to be smashed to pieces to repay." He knew that the Emperor said this to save his own face, and he will still be useful in the future.

Kangxi smiled slightly, and said: "You won another bet. Let's play again from tomorrow. You must hold your golden rice bowl firmly, don't break it!" Said and walked out of the palace gate.

Naturally, only Wei Xiaobao understood Kangxi's two sentences.Just then he hugged Kangxi to escort him, and he counted himself as a meritorious service.After killing master Chen Jinnan and others tonight, he will no longer have anything to do with heaven and earth, and the emperor will use him again.The words "Gong Zhong Ti Guo" were engraved on that golden rice bowl. The emperor wanted to be loyal to him and not have any second thoughts.

Wei Xiaobao thought of the tragic situation of his master and the brothers in the Tiandihui, how could he feel at ease even if he was promoted to a noble again?He thought to himself: "If you don't value loyalty, what is it if you don't count as a tortoise bastard?"

Thinking: "The emperor is so well-informed, is that bastard reporting it to him? I saw the emperor for the first time this morning, and he was very kind to me. He said he would send me to win the battle, and hoped that I would get Wu Sangui. Make me King Pingxi. At that time, the emperor must not have known about Wei Xiangzhu of the Heaven and Earth Association. When he learned the news, I sent the old bitch to the Queen Mother. But it was the thief who tipped the news? Humph, Most of them are from Prince Mu's Mansion, or they are subordinates of Situ He of the Wangwu Sect. Otherwise, how could the Emperor not know about my stealing the "42 Chapters" and serving as the White Dragon Envoy in the Dragon Sect?"

Duolong saw his frowning face and dazed expression, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, the emperor loves you so much, I really don't know how many lives you cultivated in your previous life? No matter which prince, Baylor, general, minister, etc. , the emperor has never sent imperial guards to protect him. Everyone says that Wei Dutong will become a prince before he is 20 years old. You don't have to worry, as long as you don't step out of the palace, the rebels will have thousands of troops , and it won’t hurt a single hair of yours.”

Wei Xiaobao could only smile wryly, and said: "The emperor's kindness is as high as the heavens and the earth is generous. As slaves, we should do our best to repay the emperor's kindness." Seeing dozens of guards standing around, it is really difficult to send a letter to the brothers of the Tiandihui In all difficulties, I thought to myself: "I don't want to be crowned king or duke. I would rather the little emperor kick my ass and shout: 'Get out of your mother's stinky duck! From now on, you will not be allowed to see me again.' Like this Protection, really saved my old life."

Duolong said: "Brother Wei, the emperor ordered you not to walk around casually. Should you go to your former room to rest, or go to the guard's squad room, how many hands will everyone play with you?" Can do what they like.

Wei Xiaobao suddenly had a thought, and said: "The Empress Dowager ordered me to have an important matter that must be completed immediately, please go with me." Duolong's face was troubled, and he said: "Of course the errand given by the Empress Dowager must be done immediately. , but... but... the emperor's strict decree that brothers Wei must never leave the palace..." Wei Xiaobao laughed and said: "This is something to do in the palace, don't worry. Brother, don’t worry.” Duo Long was relieved immediately, and said with a smile: “As long as you don’t leave the palace, there are no taboos.”

Wei Xiaobao ordered the guards to immediately carry Concubine Shen's sedan chair to the fire site west of the Shenwu Gate, and said: "Whoever opens the sedan chair curtain, the Empress Dowager ordered that the head be beheaded immediately."

Duo Long and all the guards knew about the assassin's attack on Concubine Shen's luan sedan. Although they didn't know the truth, they all knew that it was a hidden matter of the Empress Dowager. It was a big disaster, and everyone put a big stone in their hearts.Now Duolong followed Wei Xiaobao, took the luan sedan chair to the burning site, along the way, blood dripped from the sedan chair.As for who the dead person in the sedan chair was, no one dared to ask further questions.When they arrived at the burning site, Sula's handyman piled up firewood branches and surrounded the luan sedan chair to burn them.

Wei Xiaobao picked up a stick of wood, drew a sparrow with coke, put his hands on the stick, and murmured to the sedan chair, "Shou Toutuo, old bitch, you can't be married in this world, go to the underworld to be married for thousands of years." Husband and wife. The three returnees who killed you are already dead at this moment. If you go ahead, they will follow. If you meet them on the Naihe Bridge or the Wangxiang Terrace, let's all get close to each other." Long waited to see his lips moving slightly, guessing that it was wishing for the ghost of the deceased to be reborn soon. He picked up a few stones, piled them into a small pile, inserted the wooden sticks, and it was like a stick of incense. A mark of Tao Hongying's communication?
Seeing that the sedan chair and corpse were all burnt to charcoal, Wei Xiaobao returned to his former residence, the eunuchs who flattered him had come to clean it up and brought him food and snacks.

Wei Xiaobao gave the bounty, spent some with Duolong and the guards, and said: "Brother, please sit down as you please. Brothers worked for the emperor all night last night, I am really tired." Duolong said: "Brothers don't need it." You are polite, please go to sleep, and I will protect you as an older brother." Wei Xiaobao said: "That's really a thousand, ten thousand is not enough. Brother, what do you want the emperor to reward you? You told me, brother remember In my heart, when I see the emperor is happy, I will help you to beg, I am afraid it will be successful." Duolong was overjoyed and said: "Brother Wei is willing to beg the emperor for me, so is there any chance?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Elder Brother's business is Brother's own business, how can there be no reason to do nothing?" Duo Long said with a smile: "My brother is working in Beijing and I'm getting tired of it, I just want to go to other provinces to make adjustments. Wei Xiaobao patted his thigh and said with a smile: "Brother is right. In Beijing, there are many princes and officials who are higher than us. They really don't show their prestige. As long as they leave Beijing, they will be very free." Yes. I just want a few taels of silver, and I just need to cough like this, and they will immediately hold it up obediently." The two laughed at each other.

Wei Xiaobao returned to the room, leaned on the bed, and thought: "Big brother has got the emperor's order, so he is watching me very closely. I want to go out of the palace to report to Master, but it will never be possible. Aunt Tao will see me later. I hope you will find here the secret signal, so you can ask her to deliver the message. I am afraid that she will come too late, if she comes to meet in the middle of the night, and the cannons over there have already been fired, what should I do?" After a while, he pondered: "At the moment, I can only think of a way to send some guards to scare the snakes out."

The calculations were settled, and I closed my eyes and slept for more than an hour. When I woke up, I saw the shadow of the sun slanted slightly. It was not too late, so I went out of the room and asked Duo Long: "Brother, do you know who the rebels who are going to attack me are? What is it?" Duolong said: "I don't know." Wei Xiaobao said: "One group is from Tiandihui, and the other is from Muwangfu." Duolong stuck out his tongue and said: "These two groups of rebels are very powerful. No wonder the emperor is so worried." Wei Xiaobao said: "I think I can hide in the palace for a day, but not for a lifetime. Although I have elder brother protection today, if the rebels are not eliminated, there will always be endless troubles." Duo Long said: "The emperor will call tomorrow , there must be a clever strategy, Brother Wei needn't worry."

Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes. To tell you the truth, brother, there are a few fair-looking chicks in my brother's house, and brother is very fond of it. It seems that the rebels will come to my house to assassinate tonight. They can't kill brother, most likely will It would be a pity to kill these little girls."

Duo Long smiled and nodded, remembering that day when Wei Xiaobao wanted to put on an act of embarrassment to Zheng Keshun, it was because of a little beauty. The concubine said: "This is easy, so I will send someone to the brother's house to protect."

Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, cupped his hands in thanks, and said: "The little girls in brother's family, I have three favorites, one is called Shuang'er, one is called Zeng Rou, and the other is called... Saying the word "Mu" of Mu Jianping, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion), the appearance is not bad, brother is really worried. Please send someone to protect, tell them, there will be Tiandi meeting with the Mu family assassins tonight When they arrive, I want them to hide as soon as possible. It is best for the eldest brother to send more people to guard the brother's house. When the assassin arrives, he just catches his grandma. The brother who made the effort should be rewarded heavily. "

Duo Long patted his chest and said with a smile: "This matter is easy to handle. It's a matter for Earl Wei's residence. Who doesn't go forward desperately?"

Immediately ordered the foreman of the guards to go out and send someone.All the guards knew that Wei Xiaobao's hands were generous, and when he had nothing to do at ordinary times, he would often give thousands of dollars in rewards. This time he went to protect his beloved concubine and concubine, that would be a generous reward, and they all accepted the order gladly, and it was not their turn. Those who arrived inevitably sighed and complained about their bad luck.

Wei Xiaobao felt a little relieved, and thought to himself: "Shuang'er and the others have heard what the guards said, saying that the palace sent people to protect them, and they are waiting to capture the assassins of Tiandihui and Muwangfu, and they will notify my master to hide. But if I Master and the others escaped, but Shuang'er, Miss Zeng, and Xiaojunzhu were bombarded to death by the cannon, that's terrible! But the brigade of imperial guards is in my room, and the gunners outside will definitely not fire indiscriminately."

Then I thought again: "If the gunner obeys the emperor's strict order, no matter what happens, he must fire at that time, so what?" The little princess and Zeng Rou were reluctant, but Shuang'er had a deep affection for him, and even more so. He is the most important person in his heart, even more important than A Ke, and she must not let her die.It's just a dilemma, if the guards have to pick up Shuang'er and the others first, no one will be left to interrogate the master and the brothers; if you only save Shuang'er, but not the master, if you value sex over friends, then you'd be a bastard again .I wandered around the room for a while, and had no good plan.

After more than half an hour, the foreman of the guards who led the team to the Earl's Mansion came back and reported: Before they approached the Earl's Mansion, they were blocked by the officers and soldiers of the Vanguard Battalion. All the guards are worried.All the guards wanted to enter the mansion to protect the family members, the Qianfengying said nothing to let them pass, saying that the emperor had already made arrangements.Later, even Commander Ah of the Qianfeng Battalion came to stop him in person, and the guards couldn't hold back, so they had to come back.

When Wei Xiaobao heard it, he could only complain about the price of pearls in his heart.Duo Long said with a smile: "Brother, the Emperor is really considerate to you, and even sent a vanguard battalion to protect your little beauty, so what are you worried about? Haha, haha!"

Wei Xiaobao had no choice but to laugh dryly a few times, thinking: "Little Emperor, what's inside, what's thousands of miles away, this time my master and the others are really facing disaster. The Qianfeng Battalion must have obeyed a strict order, and they are everywhere in my Earl's mansion. The guards, when they see ordinary people, let them enter the mansion so that they can be killed together at night, and if they are civil and military officials, they will stop them from entering."

He thought again: "If I suddenly released the 'innuendo' hidden weapon, it would not be difficult to end Brother Da's life, but how can I kill all these guards one by one? It's a pity that the Mongolian sweat medicine around me was used up in the dealer at once. "Seeing that the sun was getting lower and lower, he felt like an ant on a hot pot, his whole body was hot, he took a dip in urine and then another dip, but he couldn't think of any idea.

After more than an hour, the sky gradually darkened, Wei Xiaobao opened the window and looked out, only to see seven or eight guards pacing up and down outside the window, the guards were extremely tight.He looked around, where was Tao Hongying's shadow?With a long sigh, he slumped on the bed, thinking that many friends had already entered the Earl's Mansion at that moment, and after a moment of delay, the brothers took a step closer to Yinshi Road.

At a glance, I saw the big water tank in the corner of the house, which was left by Hai Dafu. I relied on this water tank to kill Rui Dong, and thought: "Why don't I deceive Brother Dafu?" Come into the room, throw a hidden weapon to kill him, and then set fire to the room, and you can escape in the chaos. Brother Da treated me very well, and I can't help him by hurting his life for no reason. But there is a lot of loyalty Some, my master’s dozens of lives are more important than his one life.” After thinking for a while, he made up his mind, took a fire knife and flint to make a fire, lit a candle, and thought: “The best way to catch a tent is on fire. Hurry up, once you kill Big Brother, you will burn the tent."

At this moment, Duolong was heard shouting from the outer room: "Brother Wei, the food and wine are here, come out to drink." Wei Xiaobao said: "Let's eat in the room!" Duolong said: "Okay!" The eunuch who ordered the food and wine to bring in the lunch box.

The eunuch was a boy of sixteen or seventeen, he greeted Wei Xiaobao after entering the room, opened the lunch box, and took out the wine and rice.An idea flashed in Wei Xiaobao's mind, and he thought of an idea, and said, "You serve drinks here." The little eunuch was very happy, because he knew that Earl Wei used to be the head of the imperial dining room, and he was very generous to his servants, and he waited on him to eat and drink. It's good, I'm happy to arrange the dishes diligently.

Duo Long followed into the room, and said with a smile: "Brother, you have long since ceased to be an official in the palace, but the emperor has not vacated your room. Even if it is Prince Baylor, the emperor will not treat you so favorably." Wei Xiaobao said: "Indeed It's not that the emperor treats you preferentially. How many major affairs does the emperor have to take care of, so why should he care about such irrelevant trivial matters? To be honest, it is very illegal for brothers to live here again."

Duo Long said with a smile: "Others don't follow the rules, but your brother doesn't mind." He knew that the chief eunuch in the palace wanted to curry favor with Wei Xiaobao, no one would send another person to live in this room, there are plenty of rooms in the palace, Hai Dafu's Housing is not a good place, so the eunuch who took over the imperial dining room naturally has another place to live.Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Eldest brother didn't mention it, but brother also forgot. Tomorrow, we should inform the chief eunuch to return this room. We, as foreign ministers, will live in the palace again. Let the censor outside know about it, and go to the next meeting." Ben, it's not taste." Duolong said: "The emperor likes you, who cares?"

Wei Xiaobao said: "Please sit down, please sit down. There's nothing good about this room, but I'm used to living in it, so I don't think the Earl's Mansion outside is as comfortable as this." Walking slowly behind him, he drew his dagger in his hand, and said with a smile : "These eight bowls of dishes are my brother's favorite. I still remember in the dining room. How about trying this bowl of crab noodles and lion's head?" Duo Long said: "My brother's favorite dish must be the best... "··" Before finishing a sentence, I suddenly felt a chill in my left back, and I fell on the table and didn't move.

It turned out that Wei Xiaobao had aimed at his back and pierced it with a dagger.

The knife was done silently, the little supervisor didn't notice it at all, and was still pouring the wine.Wei Xiaobao walked behind him, stabbed him to death with a light dagger, turned around immediately, bolted the door behind him, quickly took off his clothes, hat, shoes and socks, leaving only his underwear and vest, and put on the little eunuch clothes and hats, and put all his own clothes and hats on the little eunuch.The two are about the same height, and their clothes fit them well.Then he hugged the prisoner's body to the edge of the chair and sat down, raised the dagger, and chopped the prisoner's face randomly, chopping his facial features to pieces.

With his hands busy, he said in his heart: "Brother, you are a tartar, my world will rely on killing tartars for a living, I can't do without killing you. I am really sorry for hurting your life today. Fortunately, you will inevitably die. If I run away tonight, the emperor will behead you tomorrow, and you will die half a day too early, which is not a great loss. What's more, if I kill you, you died in the line of duty. But if the emperor beheads you, you will certainly search your home, Wife and children will be troubled, so it is better to die early for half a day in exchange for the family's pension and shade. After doing the calculations, you have really taken advantage of it." But Duolong was very good to himself, so he had no choice but to kill him , After all, my heart was very uncomfortable, and I couldn't help but shed tears.

Wiping away the tears, he turned to look at the little prisoner, and said to himself, "You little brother, you are wearing a yellow mandarin jacket, how impressive you are. You were born in the tenth life, and you can't get half of the yellow mandarin jacket. This earl's crown on your head, just that one ruby ​​is enough for you to serve the seventh and eighth generation. Hehe, you will be lucky if you get promoted and get rich. I, Wei Xiaobao, pretended to be Xiao Guizi back then, and I have been in a great position ever since. You pretended to be Wei Xiaobao today, and whether you can make a fortune in the future depends on your ability." Then he thought: "I pretended to be a little eunuch before, and let a little eunuch pretend to go back today. The debts owed will be repaid. Be refreshed and clean. Little Xuanzi, little Xuanzi, I'm not sorry for you."

He tidied up his clothes and hat, saw that there was no flaw, and said loudly: "Little baby, you can go out now, you don't need to wait here. I will buy you candy for five taels of silver." Then he said vaguely Said: "Thank you Earl."

He raised his voice again and said, "I'm drinking and having a heart-to-heart talk with Director Duo here, no one is allowed to bother me!"

Eunuchs originally only served the emperor, empress, concubines, princes and princesses in the palace, but the senior eunuchs who had duties asked the junior eunuchs to serve them, and this has always been the case.Although Wei Xiaobao is no longer an eunuch, he used to be a prestigious and famous deputy chief eunuch in the palace, it is not unusual to ask a junior eunuch to wait on him and then give him money.The guards outside the door listened, but no one paid any attention to it. The door opened, and the little eunuch came out with the lunch box, lowered his head, and closed the door behind him.

Wei Xiaobao picked up the food box, lowered his head and walked towards the door.Seeing that all the guards were carrying food and serving wine, no one was paying attention, Wei Xiaobao secretly rejoiced, thinking: "It will take at least an hour for all the guards to find out that the two people in the room are dead, only Earl Wei and the chief executive are both dead. Stabbed to death by an assassin, this one will scare the shit out of them."

Stepping out of the gate, I suddenly saw several eunuchs and maids carrying lanterns leading the way, and carrying a sedan chair.This sedan chair is decorated with pheasant tail feathers and is called "Zhai sedan chair".The leading eunuch shouted: "The princess is here."

Wei Xiaobao was taken aback: "Princess was late and early, but she arrived at this time. As soon as I entered the house, I was killed by Wei Xiaobao. Isn't the palace full of quarrels? It's very difficult to get out. It's gone." At a loss, the sedan chair stopped, Princess Jianning stepped out of the sedan chair, and shouted, "Xiao Guizi is in there?"

Wei Xiaobao braced himself, walked forward, and said in a low voice: "Princess, Lord Wei is drunk, and the servant led the princess in." The lantern was not very bright, and the princess didn't recognize him, seeing all the guards come out of the house together Greeting, thinking: "Why are there so many people?" Frowning, he waved his left hand and said: "Everyone is waiting outside." Stepping into the room.Wei Xiaobao followed in.

As soon as he entered the house, he closed the door behind his back.The princess said: "You go out too." Wei Xiaobao said: "Yes, Earl Wei is in the room." The princess walked over quickly and opened the door, only to see "Wei Xiaobao" and Duolong lying on the table, obviously drunk Drunk, he frowned, and shouted: "Go out soon?" Wei Xiaobao laughed softly: "If I go out, I won't be able to burn rattan armor soldiers."

The princess turned her head in surprise, and saw Wei Xiaobao standing behind her under the candlelight, she couldn't help being both surprised and happy, she cried out with an "ah", and said, "What are you doing?" Wei Xiaobao said in a low voice: "Shut up!" The princess looked at him, then at "Wei Xiaobao" who was lying on the table, and asked in a low voice: "What the hell are you doing?" Wei Xiaobao pulled her into the room, closed the door again, and said in a low voice: "The big thing is not good, the emperor wants to kill me!" The princess said: "The emperor's elder brother has already killed the forehead, why does he want to kill you too? He...he... If he killed you, I fight him hard."

Wei Xiaobao stretched out his arms, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, and said: "Let's escape from the palace quickly. The emperor knows about my affairs with you, and wants to chop off my head." The princess gave him a hug. After a kiss, his whole body became weak immediately, and he said in a friendly voice: "The emperor's elder brother killed his son-in-law, and I can marry you as long as I say, why... why did such a thing happen again? How would he know?" What?" Wei Xiaobao said: "You must have let it out, didn't you?" The princess blushed and said, "I didn't. I only asked a few times when you will come back." Wei Xiaobao said: "That's not it Is it? That doesn't matter, anyway, we are a couple. Let's escape from the palace now."

The princess hesitated and said: "I'll go and ask the emperor's brother tomorrow, he won't kill you. He killed the forehead, told me that I couldn't live with it, and promised to find another good one for me. He always likes it very much. Your..." At this point, I felt the smell of blood in the room getting stronger and stronger, I sniffed it twice, and asked, "What..." Suddenly there was a feeling of disgust in my chest, wow With a bang, he leaned on the back of the chair and vomited loudly, his throat couldn't stop gagging, but he only spit out some clear water.

Wei Xiaobao patted her back lightly, and comforted her softly: "What? Did you eat something bad? Is it better?" The princess vomited twice, then suddenly turned her palm, hit him hard on the ear with a slap, and cursed: " Did I eat something bad? It's your fault, it's your fault!" His fists kept beating on his chest.

The princess has always been arrogant, and Wei Xiaobao didn't think it was surprising that she had a sudden outburst at this time, but the situation was urgent, so the delay was a moment, and the time when the cannons were fired was a moment closer, so I really couldn't entangle her needlessly, and said: "Okay, okay ,It's my fault."

The princess twisted his ears and shouted: "You and I will see the emperor's elder brother, we will soon be married." Wei Xiaobao was in a hurry, and begged: "I will take care of you when you see the emperor. My husband has become a headless son-in-law. It's important that we escape from the palace quickly." The princess pulled heavily, Wei Xiaobao's ears hurt, and he couldn't help crying out.The princess scolded: "What's the point of beating you without a head? You little brat, you have no brains. What about the little Guizi in my stomach?" At this point, she burst into tears.

Wei Xiaobao was taken aback, and asked: "What... what... Little Guizi?" The princess kicked up and hit his lower abdomen, crying, "I have your stinky little Guizi in my stomach." Guizi, it's all your fault. If we don't become husband and wife right away, my stomach will get bigger day by day... The emperor knows that Wu Yingxiong is an eunuch, so it won't work, I... "I can't be a human being anymore."

Wei Xiaobao's face was pale, in this critical moment, he happened to encounter this embarrassing incident again, he hurriedly said: "If we don't leave the palace quickly, little Guizi will have no father. After escaping, let's pay homage immediately, After you gave birth to Xiao Guizi, then... isn't that the emperor's nephew? The emperor became a cheap uncle, and he became my brother-in-law, so I am ashamed to kill my brother-in-law?" The princess said: "What's the matter? Excuse me? Wu Yingxiong is his brother-in-law, didn't he kill him with a knife?" Wei Xiaobao said: "The emperor knows that Wu Yingxiong is a fake brother-in-law, and I, Wei Xiaobao, are the real ones. A fake brother-in-law can kill a real brother-in-law, but a real brother-in-law cannot. Good princess, our little After Guizi was born, she put her arms around your neck and called her mother, isn't it pretty?" Then she stretched out her arms and put her arms around her neck.

The princess laughed and said happily: "You bastard, I don't want a little bastard to be called mother." Having said that, she let go of the hand that held Wei Xiaobao's ear, and said softly: "It's been so long. Seeing you, do you think I don't want to?" As he spoke, he threw himself into his arms.

Wei Xiaobao said: "I think about it every day, every night, all the time." He cursed secretly in his heart: "I can't get entangled right now, what a fucking bitch." Seeing her lingering affection, she blushed, At this time, I really couldn't make out with her, but I didn't dare to offend her, so I whispered: "Let's escape from the palace, and we will be together day and night, and we will never be apart again. Let's go now." The princess twisted her body. After twisting and turning, he said: "No way! We will be husband and wife tonight." Wei Xiaobao said: "Okay, okay! Tonight is just tonight, but we have to escape from the palace." The princess said: "Why run away! The emperor's brother is the best The one who likes me is your master, and he also likes you the most. If we beg him tomorrow, he will lose his temper. The emperor’s elder brother hates Wu Sangui the most. Please ask for an order to lead troops to fight Wu Sangui, and I will go with you. I will be the Marshal of the Army and Horses, and you will be the Deputy Marshal, beat Wu Sangui to the brim, the shit out of him, and the emperor's brother will make you a prince." He hugged him tightly as he said.

When Wei Xiaobao was in a panic, suddenly someone knocked lightly on the pane three times, and after a pause, knocked twice again.Wei Xiaobao was overjoyed, and whispered: "Is it Aunt Tao?" Gently pushed the princess away, rushed to open the window.The figure flickered, and one person jumped in. It was Tao Hongying.

When the two women faced each other, they were both taken aback.Tao Hongying called out in a low voice: "Princess." The princess said angrily, "Who are you and what are you doing here?" Suddenly, she became jealous, thinking that the court lady jumped into Xiao Guizi's room through the window, so what else is there? If the good thing is done, it must be his good friend. Although Tao Hongying is old, I think it is unforgivable for Xiao Guizi to flirt with such an old and ugly court lady. The woman ruined the good thing, became more and more furious, and shouted loudly: "Come..."

Wei Xiaobao had been on guard for a long time, so she was allowed to yell out the words "Where are you coming", and stretched out his hand to cover her mouth.

The princess struggled hard, slapped Wei Xiaobao with a backhand, and slapped Wei Xiaobao across the face.Wei Xiaobao was panicked and anxious, clasped her neck with his right hand, tightened it with all his strength, and cursed: "Damn bitch, I'll strangle you to death!" The princess had difficulty breathing immediately, and her limbs danced wildly.Wei Xiaobao turned his left hand around and punched her twice on the head.

Seeing that he dared to beat the princess, Tao Hongying was taken aback. Then she stretched out her fingers and tapped the princess's waist and chest three times, sealing several acupuncture points on her upper body.Wei Xiaobao then let go of his hand, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, something is wrong, the emperor wants to kill me, so I have to escape quickly." Tao Hongying said: "There are many guards outside. I have already arrived, behind the flower bed After waiting for more than half an hour, I had to take advantage of the loophole to come here. You see." Gently pushed the line of the pane.

Wei Xiaobao looked out, and saw seven or eight guards patrolling back and forth with lanterns. Suddenly, he remembered the method of Thin Toutuo and Mao Dongzhu, and thought: "The two of them are unlucky, and they bumped into Gui Xinshu and his wife. I will learn from it." Follow their example. They will never return home. These three people borrowed corpses to revive their souls and came to beat the princess's sedan chair." He said to the princess: "Princess, don't be jealous. She is my aunt, my father's sister, and my mother's sister. Sister, you don't have to lose your temper."

After the princess ordered Tao Hongying's acupoints, she was so angry that she almost fainted. After hearing Wei Xiaobao's words, she felt reconciled, and never thought that "father's sister" and "mother's sister" could not be the same person. If it's not Xiao Guizi's best friend, then it's all right, a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Then let me go." Wei Xiaobao wanted to please her, and said: "You are my wife, quickly call me aunt." The princess was very happy, He actually called out: "Auntie!"

Tao Hongying was puzzled, seeing that the two were fighting just now, why did the princess call her "aunt"?Wei Xiaobao said: "Go and order the sedan chair to be brought into the house, and then tell people to go out, close the door, and I will sit in the sedan chair with you. Let's go out of the palace and immediately pay homage to the house. There must be an elder during the visit. Watching from the side, this counts. Our aunt is the elder, do you think it’s okay?” The princess was overjoyed, her face flushed, and she whispered: “Very good!” Wei Xiaobao pushed her vest and urged: “Go quickly , go!"

The princess was urging him hard, and without waiting for the acupuncture points on her upper body to be released, she went to the door and ordered: "Bring the sedan chair into the house!"

All the eunuchs and maids were surprised, but this princess had always acted unimaginably, and what she ordered on weekdays was rarely in line with common sense, and many were whimsical, so they immediately agreed in unison and brought the sedan chair over.Concubine Shen's luan sedan can be carried into the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and Thin Toutuo and Mao Dongzhu are quietly carried out.The doorway of Wei Xiaobao's house was several feet wide, how could the princess's Zhai sedan be carried through the door?Only two sedan chair poles have been entered, and the sedan chair body is blocked at the door, so it is impossible to get in.The princess scolded: "Get out of all the useless things." The two eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair in front of the sedan chair thought: "The door is so wide, how can we blame us?" go out.

Wei Xiaobao whispered beside the princess: "You tell the guards not to come in." The princess said loudly: "Xiao Guizi, stay in the room for me and don't come out." Wei Xiaobao said loudly: "Yes, it's getting late , Your Highness, please go back to rest early." The princess scolded: "I just want to go out for a stroll, can you control me?" Wei Xiaobao said loudly: "There are assassins in the palace, Your Highness should be careful." The princess said : "The emperor has kept a large number of guards, and they will eat and do nothing. Everyone stand outside the room for me, and you are not allowed to go in." All the guards agreed in unison.

Wei Xiaobao got into the sedan chair and sat down, beckoning.Tao Hongying unlocked the acupuncture points on the princess's body, and the princess also got into the sedan chair and sat in front of him in his arms.Wei Xiaobao put his left arm around her, and said to Tao Hongying in a low voice: "Auntie, please accompany us out of the palace." He thought that she is very skilled in martial arts, and if she is escorting her by the sedan chair, it would be a good help if someone dismantles the diorama Fighting and killing people.

Tao Hongying immediately agreed, she was wearing a court lady's attire, standing beside the princess sedan chair, no one would suspect her.The princess shouted: "Pick up the sedan chair and go." The two eunuchs who were carrying the sedan chair in front went through the door again from the side of the sedan chair, and together with the eunuch who was carrying the sedan chair behind the sedan chair, they lifted up the pole of the sedan chair, took the sedan chair back a few steps, turned around, Lifting it up and walking away, I was very surprised: "Why is the sedan chair suddenly heavy?"

Listening to Wei Xiaobao's instructions, the princess ordered to leave the palace through Shenwumen.When Zhai Jiao came to Shenwu Gate, the guards at the palace gate saw that Princess Zhai Jiao was going out of the palace late at night, so they stepped forward to question her.The princess jumped out of the sedan chair and shouted: "I want to leave the palace, open the door quickly."

Zhao Qixian, the foreman of the guard on duty at Shenwumen that night, immediately bowed and saluted, and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness, there are assassins in the palace tonight, and it is not peaceful. Please wait until dawn before leaving the palace, Your Highness." The princess was angry. Said: "I'm in a hurry, what assassins are I afraid of?" Zhao Qixian didn't dare to disobey him at first, but he knew that his son-in-law Wu Yingxiong had already been executed, and Princess Kui went out of the palace at night, maybe it was closely related to Wu Sangui's rebellion. He asked for several greetings one after another, but he refused to give the order to open the door. The princess was really in a hurry, so he said: "In that case, wait for the servant to ask the chief supervisor, please wait a moment, the princess, after the servant asks for instructions, immediately rush back to open the palace gate. .”

Wei Xiaobao heard in the sedan chair that the princess just lost her temper, but Zhao Qixian refused to open the door and wanted to go to Duolong, that was very bad, so he said in a crisis: "Zhao Qixian, do you know who I am?" Zhao Qixian had been with him for a long time, so he naturally recognized his voice, he was surprised and delighted, and asked: "Is it Deputy Director Wei?" Wei Xiaobao smiled and said: "Exactly."Zhao Qixian hurriedly approached him.Wei Xiaobao said in a low voice: "I have a secret decree from the emperor to handle a confidential matter. As long as I show up, I will do bad things, so the emperor ordered me to sit in the princess's sedan chair, and asked the princess to cover it up." Zhao Qixian knew that he was deeply Being favored by the emperor, he acted eccentrically, without any doubts, and hurriedly said: "Yes, yes. The door is open for a lowly position."

Wei Xiaobao had an idea, and said in a low voice: "Do you want to get promoted and get rich?" Zhao Qixian followed him to do business. In the past few years, he has been promoted to two ranks, and his fortune has been distributed over 2 taels of silver. After Deputy Manager Wei asked this question, he was promoting and cultivating himself again. Excited, he bowed his knees to pay his respects, and said, "Thank you for the cultivation of the Deputy Manager. If the Deputy Manager has any orders, I will be smashed to pieces. I will not hesitate to do so."

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "You said this yourself. The artillery bombarded you, and you were smashed to pieces. You said you would not hesitate, so you can't blame me." He whispered: "A group of rebels colluded with Wu Sangui. The emperor decided to With a clever plan, I have tricked them into gathering in my Earl's mansion. The emperor sent me to lead the vanguard battalion to capture them. The vanguard battalion has always been at odds with my cavalry battalion. Do you know why the emperor sent me to lead the vanguard battalion?"

Zhao Qixian said: "The humble job is very stupid, I don't know about this." Wei Xiaobao lowered his voice and said: "The Commander of the Qianfeng camp colluded with Wu Sangui, and the emperor will take the opportunity to catch them all. The princess is Wu Sangui's daughter-in-law. As soon as they saw the princess, they would immediately kill her." No more doubts." Zhao Qixian suddenly realized, and said: "So that's the case. I didn't expect Commander Ah to be so rebellious. Most of this matter was found out by Deputy Chief Wei, and he made a great contribution."

Wei Xiaobao said: "This meritorious service was arranged by the emperor himself and entrusted to me. We are good brothers, we will be promoted together, and we will get rich together. You bring forty guards and go to make meritorious service with me." .”

Zhao Qixian was overjoyed, thanked him repeatedly, asked the princess to lift up the sedan chair, ordered forty guards who usually flattered him, and said that he had acted according to the secret decree, opened the door of Shenwu, escorted the princess Zhai sedan chair out of the palace, and ordered the remaining six Ten guards guarded strictly.

Wei Xiaobao said: "No matter what, the gate of this palace must not be opened tonight. No one can be let out of the palace unless there are orders from the general manager and me." Zhao Qixian relayed Wei Xiaobao's order, and the remaining sixty palace gate guards They agreed in unison.

Tongmao'er Hutong is not far from the imperial palace, and the group of people approached Uncle Zhongyong's mansion in a short time.Along the way, Wei Xiaobao's heart couldn't stop beating, he was afraid that halfway through, there would be heavy artillery fire ahead, but luckily it was quiet and there was no movement.

At the entrance of the alley, Ajichi, the leader of the Qianfeng Battalion, has already reported that the princess Zhai sedan chair has arrived, and stepped forward to greet her.

While in the sedan chair, the princess rubbed Wei Xiaobao's body, and on the other hand she had already received detailed instructions from him on how to behave. When she heard Ajichi greet her by name, she immediately poked her head out from behind the curtain of the sedan chair, and said, "Commander, the emperor's secret decree, today The late assignment is very important, have you prepared everything?"

Ajichi bowed and said: "Yes, everything is ready." The princess said in a low voice: "Those cannons have also been arranged?" Hearing it clearly in the sedan chair, he thought to himself: "The emperor really didn't lie to me. Nan Huairen, a foreign devil, is aiming here himself, so he still can't hit him?" The princess said: "The emperor ordered me to go to the earl's mansion to do it." One thing, just follow me in."

Aji Chidao: "Return to Your Highness: Time is pressing, you can't go in at this time." The princess said angrily: "Why can't you go in? This is an imperial decree, do you dare to disobey it?" Aji Chidao: "I don't dare. But... ...However, it is really dangerous. Your Highness has a body of gold..."

Wei Xiaobao coughed in the sedan chair, Tao Hongying took a step forward, stretched out his fingers like the wind, and already tapped three key points on Ajichi's left and right waist and under his side.Ajichi let out a soft cry, his upper body couldn't move anymore, and then he felt a chill in his vest, followed by a sharp pain, a sharp knife cut a long gash in his back, this time he was scared out of his wits, completely I don't know why.

The princess said: "The emperor's secret decree, if you don't follow the decree, I will chop you off immediately, and you will be executed all over the house." Ajichi said tremblingly: "Yes, yes." Wei Xiaobao thought: "These imperial guards follow me to do things. , I have always been obedient, why should they die? It is better to let the Qianfeng battalion be a scapegoat." In the princess's ear, she whispered: "I want him to order fifty forward battalion officers and soldiers, and follow us in." The princess shouted: "You take five Ten of your sergeants, come with us to do business." Aji Chi replied tremblingly: "Yes...yes..." Immediately, he issued an order, ordered fifty sergeants, and followed the princess. After the sedan chair, go straight into the earl's mansion.Wei Xiaobao ordered Zhao Qixian to lead the imperial guards and guard the door.

The sedan chair was carried to the second entrance hall, the princess and Wei Xiaobao got off the sedan chair, and ordered fifty soldiers to line up in the courtyard to wait.Tao Hongying escorted Ajichi, and the four of them walked into the flower hall.

As soon as the hall door was pushed open, Chen Jinnan, Mu Jiansheng, and Xu Tianchuan were all in the hall.Everyone was surprised to see Wei Xiaobao brought in a noble lady, a court lady and a military officer.

Wei Xiaobao beckoned, and everyone gathered around.He whispered: "The emperor knows that we are gathering here. The alley is already surrounded by officers and soldiers, and there are more than a dozen cannons aimed at this place."

Qunhao was taken aback, and all of them changed color.Liu Dahong said: "Everyone rush out." Wei Xiaobao shook his head and said: "No way! There are many officers and soldiers outside, and the cannons are even more powerful. I have brought dozens of officers and soldiers. Everyone stripped their clothes before they got out."

Qunhao said it was a clever plan.

Wei Xiaobao turned around and told the princess. The princess nodded and said to Aji Chidao, "Tell twenty soldiers to come in."

Ajichi had already seen that the situation was not good, but the steel knife was locked in his neck, so he dared to defy him, so he had to issue orders.

The Tiandihui and the group of heroes from the Mu Palace stood guard at the door, and when the twenty soldiers from the Qianfeng Battalion entered the flower hall, they immediately punched, kicked, elbowed and poked 20 of them to the ground.The second time fifteen soldiers were called in, and the third time another fifteen soldiers were called in. After all fifty soldiers were knocked down, they stripped off their clothes and put them on themselves.Even the princess was put on.

Wei Xiaobao saw that Mu Jianping and Zeng Rou followed the crowd to change clothes, but did not see Shuang'er, so he hurriedly asked Zeng Rou.Zeng Judao: "Sister Shuang'er sees that you haven't come back after entering the palace for so long, and Gui Erxia and the others went to the palace to assassinate, and there is no news, so I can't rest assured, so I go out with Uncle Feng to find out the news." Mu Jianping said: "He two People went out after lunch, why don't they come back at this time?" Wei Xiaobao frowned, thinking about it, although he thought that Feng Ji's martial arts were so strong that he would be able to protect both children well, but the two of them didn't know the emperor's arrangements. Wouldn't it be bad if the two of them came back after everyone had fled, just when the cannons hit them?After a moment of contemplation, he said to Qian Laoben: "Brother Qian, Brother Feng and Shuang'er went out to inquire about the news, and they haven't come back yet, so we need to make more marks here so that they can leave immediately after seeing them."

Qian Laoben agreed, and when the situation was urgent, he drew out his dagger, stabbed two Qing soldiers in the thighs twice, cut off their clothes, dipped blood in the wounds of the two soldiers, and wrote "run away" on the doors everywhere. Two big blood characters.After writing eight portals in a row, everyone has finished changing their clothes.

Wei Xiaobao led the crowd, went to the stables and led the horses.Four subordinates of the Tiandihui pretended to be eunuchs, carried the princess's palanquin, and escorted Ajichi out of the Earl's Mansion. The fifty sergeants had their acupuncture points sealed, or their hands and feet were bound, and they all stayed in the Earl's Mansion.

Wei Xiaobao was still sitting in the princess sedan chair. After leaving the mansion, he sighed and thought to himself: "Those concierges, grooms, cooks, personal soldiers, male and female servants who served me in the mansion will all be killed by the cannons, but if they call When they came out together, they had to show their flaws to the officers and soldiers outside.” Then he thought: “That day in Mount Wutai, everyone pretended to be lamas and saved the life of the old emperor, and today we still use this strategy. It is very useful to save the old emperor first and then Xiao Guizi."

The group of lords embraced the princess and Ajichi and went outside the alley, but they saw officers and soldiers coming and going on patrol, and the guards were extremely strict, but they couldn't see where the cannons were lined up for a while.

Wei Xiaobao let out a long breath when he was out of danger, seeing his master and all his friends escaped from the fire, he was very relieved, he said to Zhao Qixian: "This Commander has committed a rebellion and treason, you go and put him in prison, Unless the emperor wants to interrogate him personally, it will be fine when I come back." Zhao Qixian agreed.Wei Xiaobao said again: "This man is a criminal, the emperor hates him to the bone, he will lose his temper when he hears his name. You tell all the brothers, everyone be careful, don't let the emperor hear the name of this traitor." Zhao Qixian After receiving the order, he led forty imperial guards and escorted Ajichi away.Ajichi was trapped in the sky prison, Wei Xiaobao didn't bother to worry about when he had to get out.

Qunhao kept silent, only went to a secluded place.Walking out of Lixu, Wei Xiaobao left his sedan chair and rode on a horse.Chen Jinnan asked him: "Second heroes Gui and the others entered the palace to assassinate, what happened afterwards?" Smoke filled the air, and one could see beams, wood, bricks and tiles flying in the air from a distance.

Qunhao could only feel the ground shaking under his feet, at this moment the sound of cannons continued to rumble, and the blood-red flames in the Earl's Mansion rose upwards, reaching a height of more than ten feet.

Qunhao and Tongmao'er Hutong are far apart, yet they still feel the hot air blowing towards their faces.Everyone looked at each other in astonishment, they didn't expect the power of the cannon to be so powerful, if they were late for a moment, where would there be lives left?
Liu Dahong scolded: "His grandma's, it's so earth-shattering..." Only the sound of bang bang cannons was heard again, drowning out his words below.Looking at the Earl's Mansion from a distance, he saw the flames dimmed, followed by the flames soaring into the sky, burning half of the sky red.

Wei Xiaobao thought to himself: "The little emperor must have heard the sound of the cannon. If he sends someone to ask me to speak, the diorama will be destroyed immediately." He said to Chen Jinnan, "Master, we have to leave the city quickly. Once the news spreads, the city will be destroyed." The check at the gate is tight, so it's not easy to go out." Chen Jinnan said: "That's right, let's go." The princess immediately jumped out of the sedan chair.

Wei Xiaobao turned his head to the princess and said: "You go back to the palace first, and I will come to pick you up when things calm down." The princess was startled and angry, and shouted: "What did you say?" Wei Xiaobao said it again.The princess called out: "You cross the bridge to draw a board, so you want to leave me alone?" Wei Xiaobao said: "No, it's not..." Before he could finish his sentence, there was a slap, and his face was hardened. I got a slap in the face.

All the heroes were astonished.Just now the artillery fire shook the world, everyone thought that if Wei Xiaobao hadn't planned to rescue them, everyone would have been turned into ashes by now, and there was no chance of escape, so even though they usually don't think highly of this young incense master, they couldn't help but feel helpless at this moment Grateful and admiring, suddenly saw the princess making a move and hit her, someone grabbed her and pushed her away, and someone even shouted.

The princess cried out loudly: "You said you wanted to pray to me, so I listened to you, took you out of the palace, and asked the commander of the vanguard battalion to rescue your friend, you...you stinking Thief, if you want to deny it, we can't finish the calculation. In my stomach..." Wei Xiaobao was afraid that she would open his mouth and say something ugly in public, so he hurriedly said, "Okay, okay! Just follow me. Everyone leave the city Let’s talk again.” The princess laughed through her tears and got on her horse.

A group of people came to the Chaoyang Gate of the East City.Wei Xiaobao shouted: "According to the emperor's secret decree, go out of the city to chase down the rebels, open the city quickly."

The officers and men of the Xiaoqi Battalion, the Guarding Battalion, and the Qianfeng Battalion are the emperor's personal soldiers of the Imperial Forest Army. They rampage in Beijing, and all civil and military officials are afraid of them.Seeing that the officers and soldiers of the gate are a group of sergeants from the vanguard battalion, how dare they disobey them?What's more, when you heard the rumble of cannons just now, something serious happened in the city, so you opened the city gate immediately.

All the people came out of the city and galloped eastward.Wei Xiaobao and Chen Jinnan rode side by side, briefly describing how Gui Xinshu's family failed in the assassination and how the emperor discovered his secret.Chen Jinnan praised: "Xiaobao, I usually see you being glib and dishonest, but at this critical juncture, you can actually put loyalty first and not betray your friends for wealth and honor. It's really rare." Wei Xiaobao laughed and said: "Other It’s okay to be friends, but it’s absolutely impossible to do the thing of destroying teachers with righteousness.” Chen Jinnan said: “What do you mean by ‘letting go of other friends’? As long as they are friends, no one can betray them. The four characters are also used incorrectly." Wei Xiaobao stuck out his tongue, and said: "The disciple is ignorant and says something wrong, master, don't blame him." Thinking of the past when he talked nonsense with the little emperor, he was very happy, after what happened today , I will never be able to meet him again, and I can't help but feel sad.

Chen Jinnan said: "We came out pretending to be soldiers from the Vanguard Battalion. After a while, the Tartars will know about it. We need to change our clothes quickly." Wei Xiaobao said, "That's right. Once we get to the town ahead, we'll just buy some clothes and modify them. .”

The crowd drove eastward for more than twenty li and came to a town, but there was no old clothes store in the town.Chen Jinnan is very talented in marching and fighting, political affairs, etc., but he felt helpless for such small daily matters. Seeing that there was nowhere to buy clothes for replacement, he said, "We can only talk about it in the town ahead. I only hope to find a second-hand clothes shop." it is good."

A group of people walked through the town, and saw a big family at the end of the city, with high walls and rich doors, and a magnificent house.Wei Xiaobao had a thought, and said: "Master, let's go to this family's house to borrow some clothes for a change." Chen Jinnan hesitated and said, "I'm afraid they won't agree." Wei Xiaobao laughed: "We are officers and soldiers. Officers and soldiers don't eat The big family, the big family, but who is going to eat, who is it?" Jumping off the horse, he lifted the copper ring on the door and knocked on it.

The male servant came out to open the door, and everyone rushed in, stripping off their clothes when they saw anyone.The head of the household is a Beijing official who has retired from his old age and returned to his hometown. Seeing this group of forward battalion officers and soldiers like wolves and tigers, he repeatedly shouted: "Masters, stop being rough, and wait for brothers to order wine and meals. Please use it, and then I will give you money for use." "..." Before he could finish his sentence, he was grabbed by someone, and his robe and trousers were immediately stripped off.He yelled in fright: "Brother is old, this tune is not acceptable..."

The group of heroes laughed and laughed, stripping off dozens of sets of clothes from the upper and lower ranks in an instant.The officials and their family members were all out of their minds. Fortunately, the officers and men of the Vanguard Battalion had a strange temper. They only stripped the men's clothes, but did not tease the women's family members. went on horseback.The men of the big family were naked, looking at each other in astonishment.

Qunhao came to a secluded place and modified them separately.The princess, Mu Jianping, and Zeng Rou also changed into men's clothes.Everyone gets on the horse and goes.Wei Xiaobao just cared about Shuang'er, and said: "Brother Feng and one of my little girls, I don't know what's going on in Beijing. I want to invite that face-born brother from other provinces to go back to Beijing and inquire about it." Two people from Guangxi The Tiandihui brothers took the order and left.

Seeing that there were no officers and soldiers chasing him, Qunhao felt relieved.After another journey, Mu Jianping exclaimed "Ah" and laughed along with Grid.It turned out that the horse Zeng Rou was riding suddenly pulled a lot of shit, which almost splashed on Mu Jianping's feet.

Not long after walking, a few more horses had shit, neighed after the horse that Taoist Xuanzhen was riding, fell to their knees, and refused to get up again.Qian Laoben said: "Master Daoist, let's ride a horse together!" Xuanzhen said: "Okay!" Get on the horse and sit behind him.

Wei Xiaobao suddenly realized, he couldn't help being shocked, and shouted: "Master, retribution, retribution! This is terrible." Chen Jinnan asked: "What?" Wei Xiaobao said: "Wu... Wu Yingxiong's ghost came to him Me. He hates me...hate me for taking him back and taking his..."The word "wife" below, I am really embarrassed to say export.

He remembered that he was ordered to chase people that day, because the horses Wu Yingxiong and his party rode were fed a lot of crotons, they kept defecating along the way, and then fell to death one after another, so they couldn't escape far away and they were captured by him.If Wu Yingxiong fled to Yunnan that time, the emperor would certainly not be able to kill him. The reason for the investigation is that he sent someone to poison his horses.Now it's his turn to run away, even the horses would die like this, but it's not Wu Yingxiong's ghost. What is it?What's more, he took his wife to escape with him. After Wu Yingxiong became a ghost, a "forehead ghost" still wore a big green hat with a green emerald top on his head, so he must be unwilling.The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, his body trembled uncontrollably, only a few neighings were heard, and two more horses fell down.

Chen Jinnan also saw that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked for a closer look.Wei Xiaobao talked about the situation when Wu Yingxiong was captured that day, and said in a trembling voice: "Wu Yingxiong is still haunted, and revenge is coming today. This...this..." The princess said angrily: "Wu Yingxiong is alive. He is useless at the time, and he will be a pustule ghost after death, what are you afraid of him?" Chen Jinnan frowned and said, "It's a bright day, so what's the matter? Did the emperor know that you poisoned Wu Yingxiong's horse that day?" Wei Xiaobao said: "I know, he also praised me as a good general." Chen Jinnan nodded and said, "That's right. The emperor of the Tartars used the way of a good general to cure him. He was afraid that you would escape, so he sent him a long time ago. They fed your horses crotons."

Wei Xiaobao immediately came to his senses, and even said: "Yes, yes. The little emperor was very happy when he got Wu Yingxiong that day, and rewarded my head groom as a reward, and sent him to the Department of Vehicle Driving of the Ministry of War. This time he must be called Come and poison my horse."

Chen Jinnan said: "That's right, he knows the way well, he knows every horse's temperament, and if he wants to poison him, he will be sure to hit it."

Wei Xiaobao said angrily: "Next time I catch this groom, a lot of rotten shit here will be stuffed into his mouth..." Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly felt the mount under his crotch rush forward, kneeling After getting down, Wei Xiaobao jumped down, and saw the horse struggling to stand up, struggled a few times, but knelt down on its hind legs.

Chen Jinnan said: "The animals are useless. You have to go to the market ahead to buy them." Liu Dahong said: "It's not easy to buy dozens of horses at once." Chen Jinnan said: "Exactly. Let's disperse for now. "

While he was talking, he suddenly heard the faint sound of horseshoes on the road.Xuan Zhen said happily: "The officers and soldiers are chasing him. Let's kill him, just to grab the horse." Chen Jinnan shouted: "The brothers from the Tiandihui will lie down on the left side of the road, and the brothers from Muwangfu and Wangwushan will lie down. On the right. When the officers and soldiers arrive, attack him by surprise. Ah, no..."

But he heard the sound of hooves approaching, the ground trembled faintly, and there were at least 2000 officers and soldiers chasing him. Qunhao didn't need to ask him what the meaning of the word "Ah, no!" could not help but change his face.

There are only dozens of heroes in the group, although their martial arts are not weak, but in broad daylight when they clash with a large group of cavalry on the plains, the enemy troops will surround them one after another, those with high martial arts skills may be able to escape, and most of the rest will surely die.

Chen Jinnan made a decisive decision and shouted: "There are a lot of officers and soldiers. We can't fight tough battles. Everyone scattered into the countryside and forests."

After saying these few words, the sound of hooves came closer.Looking around, the dust on the road was high, coming like a big black cloud.

Wei Xiaobao yelled: "Oops, Oops!" and ran away.The princess cried: "Hey, where are you going?" Follow closely.Wei Xiaobao shouted: "You'd better go back to the palace, it's no good to follow me." The princess scolded: "Smelly little Guizi, do you want to escape? It's not that easy!"
