On the morning of the third day, behind a hillside in the land of three arrows outside Lulong Pass, the crowd began to get busy, the snow was shoveled into the pot, and it was boiling hot, and the dried wild vegetables and dried meat were thrown into the pot, and the vegetable and meat porridge began to waft out a fragrant smell.
Xi said that Ba said that he held a snow ball in his hand, held a piece of cheese, and found Dai Yubin while chewing: "Ann answer, this is really fucking strange, didn't you say that you traded last night, why didn't there be a signal on the city that can clear the customs, and you can bring a few people over to inquire about it in a while." ” Dai Yubin said: "Okay, don't be too anxious, there is no news of changes in Lakshen, nothing should happen."
They asked for more than 100 truckloads of goods at a time, and it must be not easy to raise vehicles, so it was delayed, so I will go and see it in a while. ” Xi said: "Well, it is not possible to delay for too long, we have brought so many goods, because we have thought that we can trade when we come, but we only brought two tents, and most people can only sleep in the snow nest, and they will make up for a night, and they will freeze out of the disease after a long time." ” As he was talking, Mao Yihan, who was tall and tall, came over with a shoulder of frost flowers: "My lord, Xi said that the old guy Gou Lige is frostbitten, he is old, a little feverish, and his spirit is insufficient, what do you think?"
Xi Yuba frowned and said, "If we bring medicine, he won't be able to make a mistake."
The palace is very complicated, not to mention in the secret passage, and I don't know how many changes have been made after Zhu Di, the king of Yan, has moved in, if the palace has increased or decreased, only he can still recognize the road, just draw a map, we can't find it. ” Mao Yihan said: "There are medicinal materials for cold protection and heat dissipation, and I just cooked him a bowl of medicinal soup to drink, but the old guy is weak, and he may not be able to get better immediately." ” Xi Yuba shook his head and said, "First move him into my tent, this man is of great use, and he can't be so sick that he can't get up." ” He turned around and said to Dai Yubin: "I'm really afraid of something, his grandmother's."
By the way, the gunpowder buried in the secret passage is fine, and it can be very useful. ” Dai Yubin said: "Even if there is no gunpowder, there is enough tung oil to burn a sensation in the world." ” Xi Yuba said through gritted teeth: "Otherwise, if the tung oil fire rises, maybe Zhu Di will escape, I will blow him up in the palace, blow up his whole family to pieces, and he will die, which is the most exciting thing for my soldiers." ” Dai Yubin said with a smile: "The secret passage has only been entered by Xi Yugoulige, and I don't know how the gunpowder is stored, but I heard Xi Yugolige say that those military gunpowder are very tightly packaged, and there are several layers of waterproof and moisture-proof oiled paper on the outside of the barrel, and a layer of wax is sealed, and it is estimated that it will not be damp and invalid after being stored for one hundred and eighty years." ” Xi said happily: "That's good." ” The two of them were talking, Mauihan took two people and walked over with Xi Yugou Lige, Xi Yuba said that Xi Yugou Lige's face was flushed, and his breathing was difficult, and he couldn't help frowning and said: "It's only been a night's work, how can you be sick like this, hurry up, help me into the tent to rest, and the medicine will be targeted."
It's terrible, if it's a trade tonight, I force him to take him, wouldn't it be suspicious."
They plan to buy some necessities as an excuse to go over some of the people involved in the project.
And Xi said that Gou Lige is an indispensable person among them.
But he is old, so many people in the prime of life don't need it, and if he has to bring an old and rare person over, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the Ming people, so they plan to make Xi Yugou Lige a younger one, and stick a black beard, so that he can barely pass the test while he can't see clearly in the night.
But he is now sick like this, if everyone is busy carrying goods, but there is a person here who is weak and unable to move, and finally wants to take him into the customs, people can not be suspicious, although it may not be because of this suspicion to spoil their big event, but this matter is too important, Xi said that Ba said that he also had to personally pass the customs to preside over this matter, and he could not tolerate the slightest delay.
Dai Yubin frowned, suddenly thought about it, and said, "My lord, don't worry about this.
I suddenly thought of a good way to let Xi Yugou Lige get by. ” Xi said: "What way?"
Dai Yubin said: "If his condition is not good at the time of the transaction, then there is no need to let him pretend to be hard, just pretend to be older, and say that he is an elder in the clan, who is seriously ill and wants to go to Dadu to seek medical advice." ” Xi said that Ba said that he was overjoyed: "Okay, this excuse is well thought out, it is indeed seamless, hahaha, An'a, when the time comes, say that he is your father, the filial son took Lao Tzu to treat the disease, this excuse is really good, hahaha" Dai Yubin's face stiffened, and his smile was a little bitter: "Get a eunuch to be a father haha, haha" "What are they actually the seventh brother's people, the seventh brother stopped because the money for the construction of the king's mansion stopped, so he engaged in some business to make money, this nonsense is really nonsense" King Yan sat down with a smile and said, "A dignified prince actually does these things that are businessmen competing with the people for profit, and that's it, but he still directly interferes in the forbidden things of the imperial court.
What's that man's name?"
Concubine Xu said softly: "Shihong has just interrogated, the public identities of those two are called Xia Xun and Gao Sheng, and their real identities are Yang Xu and Ximen Qing.
One is a student from Qingzhou, and the other is Langzhong from Yanggu County. ” King Yan shook his head again and again: "Ridiculous, the seventh brother is really ridiculous." ” Concubine Xu said: "Lord, since you are the disciple of the seventh prince, you have to give this face, not to mention a few times to sweep the north, the seven princes and brothers have helped you a lot, just talking about brotherhood, you can't make a mistake for this little thing, anyway, the customs clearance transaction is originally intended to be hidden, so let them go." ” Yan Wang said: "What should I do about Ming'er, isn't the little guy annoyed?"
Concubine Xu smiled: "Ming'er, that girl, how can she know how to hold grudges."
Speaking of that night, she was very excited along the way, and as a very interesting thing, she told your daughters about it as soon as she got home.
Last night, look at those two daring boys huddled in the cage and froze sadly, she actually stupidly sent blankets over, she didn't care about it. ” King Yan sighed and said: "That's good, ask Shihong to take them out, this matter is so troublesome, the seventh brother is really alas" The Shihong he said in his mouth, surnamed Zhu Mingneng, a native of Huaiyuan, Anhui, inherited his father's position as the deputy Qianhu of Yanshan's guard, responsible for the guards of Yanwang's palace, and after Xia Xun and Ximenqing brought them back to the palace, they were tried by him.
Concubine Xu said again: "They are the people of King Qi, because of a misunderstanding, they were arrested by us, and they suffered a lot on the way."
As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, just send them out like this, the seventh king's brother must not look good, and you don't know his temper, among the brothers, he is the one with the best face. ” King Yan glared and said, "Then what should I do, I have to send them out with this king beating gongs and drums."
Concubine Xu covered her mouth and said: "That's not necessary, what they do is not very glorious, and it is naturally inconvenient for you to come forward." ” She thought for a moment and said, "It's better to ask Gao Chi to send them out."
With the prince of King Yan coming forward, it can be regarded as giving them enough face, and King Qi knows about it, so it's not easy to say anything. ” Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "It's okay, just ask Gao Chi to send this pair of difficult little ghosts away." ” Xia Xun and Ximen Qing have changed from the firewood room to a side hall, although the inside is still empty, and there is no fire kang brazier, plus this side hall is in disrepair, some desolate, and there is a lot of dust, but it is much more ambiguous than the firewood room that leaks everywhere.
Ximen Qing stomped his feet and walked around the room: "We have all recruited our true identities, it stands to reason that His Royal Highness King Yan will not be difficult for us anymore, why don't you let us go" Xia Xun said firmly: "Don't worry, even if the daughter of Xu Guogong refuses to give up, we won't have to worry about our surname." ” Ximen Qing said: "That little girl named Ming'er haha, then it's okay, the little girl has a good heart, didn't you see that she sent us a blanket yesterday." ” Xia Xun said faintly: "Yes, I sent a blanket, a blanket for the little county lord, a small blanket, at the beginning you said that one person and a half, when I fell asleep, I desperately wrapped it around my body, and I only squeezed one foot into it." ” Ximen Qing smiled dryly: "This, hahaha, I fell asleep like this" As the two people were talking, there was a bang at the door of the temple, and there was the sound of unlocking, and the two people immediately stood together and looked at the door of the temple intently.
As soon as the door of the palace opened, four palace guards came first, stood there, stood by the sword, majestic, and then a big fat man appeared at the door, and two tall and powerful chamberlains supported him, crossed the high threshold, and walked into the hall.
This big fat man is wearing an indigo robe, with a scarf on his head, big ears in terms of physiognomy, and a very graceful bearing, but his figure is too fat, looking tall and in his early twenties, but a wide and fat robe, it seems that he can't support his fat figure, and he has to be supported by two tall and powerful chamberlains.
Xia Xun said in his heart: "I remember that the literature said that Zhu Di's eldest son suffered from obesity and was obese since he was a child, so this is the person."
The big fat man had a kind smile on his face, and he didn't show a trace of arrogance because of the low status of these two people, and before the guards could report it, he arched his hand and said with a smile: "I am Zhu Gaochi, the prince of Yanwang."
My mother led the guards to hunt at Lulong Pass, and when she saw that your two were secretive, she mistakenly thought you were bandits, so she asked the guards to find out your identity, but the guards were reckless, and without ascertaining your identity, they forcibly took people, so that there were many misunderstandings.
The two of them have suffered along the way, this is my Yanwang Mansion, Gao Chi apologized to the two. ” As he spoke, he bent down with great difficulty.
Xia Xun said in his heart: "I have heard that the third son of King Yan, the eldest son Gao Chi is the most generous and benevolent, sincere to others, elegant and benevolent, his younger brother has repeatedly slandered him in front of Zhu Di in order to seize his position, and even secretly disadvantaged him, he still treats his brothers very kindly, and still defends them in front of his father.
Now that I have only seen one side, I feel that the rumors are true, with his status as the prince of King Yan, if it is not for the surname Renhe, there is really no need to be so polite to us. ” Xia Xun hurriedly stepped forward with Ximen Qing to return the salute, Zhu Gaochi is the son of King Yan, the future King of Yan, according to the system of etiquette with the prince, even if it is a member of the court on a formal occasion, it is necessary to bow with courtesy, not to mention that the two of them are only a small student, the two hurriedly stepped forward to knock and said: "The prince must not be so polite, we do have something wrong, otherwise the princess will not be suspicious." ” Zhu Gaochi hurriedly said: "No courtesy, no courtesy, the two of you don't need to be courteous." ” He smiled again and said, "Zhu Qianhu has already asked about your identity, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me."
Gao Chi is here, one is to apologize, and the other is to send two out of the house, if the two are not strange, please come with me. ” Zhu Gaochi just turned around with difficulty, and saw a little girl in white running in, followed by two guards, and when he saw Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, he shouted: "Wow, it turns out that you are the disciples of King Qi, no wonder you are so bold, can the disciples of King Qi bully me?"
As soon as Zhu Gaochi saw her coming, he hurriedly stood up, clasped his fists with both hands, bent down his big belly with great difficulty, and solemnly greeted Xu Ming'er: "Nephew Gaochi, I've seen Aunt Ming." ” As soon as the little girl flashed, she floated past him, Zhu Gaochi had a hard time straightening her stomach, and when she looked up, her aunt was gone, Zhu Gaochi turned around awkwardly, only to see that Xu Ming'er had stood in front of Xia Xun and Ximenqing, with her hands behind her back, and she was bending her head to look at them.
Zhu Gaochi had already heard what had happened, but he said that his aunt was still embarrassed for these two people, so he hurriedly moved his steps and hurried over, reminding: "Aunt Ming, this matter is all a misunderstanding, and my father and mother have instructed Gao Chi to send them out of the house." ” The little girl waved her hand very angrily and said, "I know, I know, you go out first, I have something to say to them." ” Zhu Gaochi said in embarrassment: "Aunt Ming" Xu Ming'er turned around and pushed him impatiently: "Go out, go out, I said I wouldn't embarrass them, I, Xu Ming'er, will never break my word." ” Zhu Gaochi's body is like a mountain of meat, where can Xu Ming'er push it, but Zhu Gaochi is a very square gentleman, he pays attention to the order of the young and the old, no matter how young Xu Ming'er is, it is also his aunt and his elder, Zhu Gaochi didn't dare to disobey her, so he had to follow her wishes, supported by two inner attendants, and slowly moved out of the side hall.
"Hey, hey, hey" Pushing her big fat nephew out of the palace gate, Xu Ming'er closed the door with a loud shout, then turned around and looked at Xia Xun and Ximen Qing, and I don't know if she learned a portrait of a minister from some drama, one shoulder is high, the other is shoulder low, the two beautiful big eyes are deliberately narrowed, hehe laughs twice, and looks at the two of them threateningly.
Xia Xun and Ximen Qing were not scared when they saw her appearance, but they were a little funny, but the two of them shrank their necks very smartly, revealing a timid look, Xu Ming'er was very satisfied with the intimidation caused by their own shape, straightened their waists, pointed at Xia Xun and said, "You say, why do you want to arrest me?"
Xia Xun looked at her blankly: "Little county lord, he is the one who captured you, why did the county lord recognize me as the mastermind?"
