Chapter 358: To Each His Own Mind
When the Meng Guiyu brothers were talking here, Kang Gui hummed a little song and swayed to the residence of him and Gongsun Shu and others, at this time Gongsun Shu and Shao Yan were not there, only Luan Yusi sat under the hall, holding a silk handkerchief, and carefully wiped the saber with him.
When he saw Kang Gui coming back, he asked, "Is the matter over?"
Without waiting for him to answer, he looked at his complexion, then shook his head and said, "Lao Kang, you can take it easy! After all, he is no longer a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, and if the groom goes down like this night and night, Lao Tzu is really afraid that you will have a wind one day, and you will go like this in a daze!"
"Who are you?" Kang Gui sat down beside him and scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu didn't call himself your Lao Tzu, you old boy is taking advantage of Lao Tzu?"
He and Luan Yusi had always been a little discordant before because of their disagreement on whether to trust Rong Sleeping Crane.
But being coerced by Meng Guiyu, in these days in Shanglin Yuan, especially after the fall of the Meng family, the henchmen came to join Meng Guiyu one after another, and a group of people on Tortoiseshell Island gradually got together, and the relationship was a lot more harmonious.
At this moment, the two scolded and quarreled a few words, Luan Yusi looked up at the empty courtyard outside, and frowned: "Lao Kang, it's not okay to go on like this! Before, there was no one under the Meng Guiyu brothers, and they needed us to fight the town, so just pay it back! Now because of the death of Zheng Hou and others, the Meng clan's henchmen have nowhere to go, so they can only defect to the two of them, our status is not as important as before, and we can still bear it! The key is that the name of the previous statement cannot be resolved, and something went wrong with eighty percent, so Ah Xi escaped. I'm afraid that it won't be long before the Meng Guiyu brothers will receive the seventy-seven-eighty-eight of Meng's relics, and it will be time to unload the mill and kill the donkey!"
"Do you still need to say this?" Kang Gui sneered and said, "Didn't I go over there and wait for Meng Guiyu to come back from Chengluan Palace? Guess what? Meng Guihan arrived first, and when he saw me entering, he actually hid in the inner room! A few of our brothers, who have supported them so many times, sold so many lives, and done so much dirty work, just because they played with a few palace maids, put on such a disdainful look to show them?!"
"It's like I'm a moral role model!"
"To put it mildly, although Meng Guiyu is a little despicable, he can get to this day, and he can be regarded as a talent. ”
"What is he Meng Guihan, thanks to his brother's support, he can't even do the scene, and he looks arrogant all day long!"
"At this time, Meng Guiyu is righteous, otherwise this kind of goods would have been hacked to death a long time ago!"
He exhaled and said concentratingly, "Meng Guihan's dislike of us has reached such an obvious point, which can somewhat reflect Meng Guiyu's true attitude towards us...... Jade, we have to think about the way back!"
"Who doesn't want to think about the way back?" Luan Yusi frowned and said, "The problem is, we have also tried these days, Meng Guiyu is treacherous, and he doesn't give the four of us a chance to gather and act at all." No matter what you do, at least two people will stay as hostages! You also know the temper of the sea lord, and he will never leave his own people behind. Can we leave the sea lord behind? In this way, no one can leave!"
He also said, "In my opinion, we really made a mistake this time! We should have left one by one when there were not so many people from the Meng clan who had taken refuge in them. At that time, Meng Guiyu needed us to check and balance the Meng clan's henchmen, even if one or two were gone, they might not be embarrassed by what was left. Now that he is about to become a climate, he is not so dependent on us, but it is difficult to say. ”
After thinking for a while, he quietly asked, "By the way, the envoy who disposed of this time, ...... his route to enter Shanglin Yuan?"
"I'm afraid it won't work. Kang Gui shook his head and said, "Meng Guiyu is not a fool, he is going to keep an eye on us at this time, and he won't let us get close to that side in the near future." Then ask someone to block the route...... Alas, I hope that after Ah Xi escapes before, will he sneak into Shanglin Yuan to take a look? In that case, we may have a way. In terms of the ability to come and go quietly, the four of us combined are not his opponents. At the very least, we can send a message to the county king, so that the county king knows that we are not really betraying him. ”
Luan Yusi was still suspicious of Rong Sleeping Crane, and said with some sadness: "The king of the county is only afraid that he can't use us very much now, how can he let Ah Xi, who he relies on and trusts the most, take risks for us? After all, we don't know much about the secrets of the county king, especially the matter between Tonghuan and Guanlan, right? Even if he sincerely took refuge in Meng Guiyu, he couldn't betray the county king. ”
"You have to give it a try. Kang Gui groaned, "So I have been picking up palace maids everywhere in my spare these days, pretending to be obsessed with beauty, and somewhat paralyzing Meng Guiyu." I also thought that if Ah Xi came over quietly, the place where we live now is full of Meng Guiyu's eyes and ears, and there may not be a chance to get close. But when I go out to hang out in the palaces, flirt with the palace maids or something, Meng Guiyu's people can't always stare at the good eyes...... Axiruo is in secret, but there is a chance to get in touch. ”
Luan Yusi said: "Hmm? You mess with flowers and grass all day long, and you still have this mind? Lao Tzu also said that you are pessimistic and disappointed, broken jars, can sleep one by one, maybe lucky, there will be a son and a half daughter left in the future?"
"Get out!" Kang Gui said angrily, "Didn't you listen to Meng Guiyu? These palace maids don't care whether the emperor sleeps or not, in short, they are born as emperors, and they are ghosts of the emperor when they die, and they have no share in others! In order to prevent the news from leaking, after getting tired of sleeping, they will kill their mouths and report their illness and death...... Where to leave a son and a half daughter?!"
He reminisced about Gongsun Xi, "Meng Guiyu said that it has been a few days since he killed Ah Xi to make a name for himself, and he didn't mention it again after that, eighty percent is as you said, Ah Xi has quietly disappeared...... Well, I don't know where he is right now, has he come to see our thoughts?"
At this time, Gongsun Xi, who was missed by him, was in a small town not very far from Chang'an.
Wuyi Ying set up a temporary station here, which was a two-entry house, and bought two little maids to serve him and Queen Meng to rest.
Before that, he admitted in front of his colleagues who went to Weishui to pick up that he had already married Empress Meng.
But the two of them are sleeping in separate rooms at this time.
A pair of magpies stopped on the treetops in the yard and chirped incessantly, and the little maid looked up and smiled: "This is a good thing is coming!
Empress Meng, who was sitting in front of the dressing table and watching her comb her long hair, just smiled reluctantly.
At this time, she said to Gongsun Xi that she was a couple who had agreed to marry but had not yet married, because of the chaos in Chang'an, she was separated from her family, and she could only settle down temporarily in this town.
However, the two little maids privately guessed that they were actually eloped with each other.
Empress Meng and Gongsun Xi have heard this in private, Gongsun Xi soaked in Weishui for too long before, and he did not receive timely treatment after contracting the wind cold, and the most terrible thing is that the secret injury he fell from the previous expedition at sea was also led out, so he is still lying on the couch.
He was silent about this as always, and the queen was embarrassed to reason with the two little maids, which made the maids guess more vigorously.
At this point, this is very tentative and flattering.
It's just that Queen Meng is quite bitter in her heart.
She has been accustomed to being served since she was a child, and after coming to this house, she came by herself when she bathed, and did not want the maid to get close.
The two little maids thought that she was reserved and shy, and she was not used to exposing her body in front of strangers, but in fact, the queen knew that this was to prevent people from seeing the palace sand on her arms.
She and Gongsun Xi have nothing at all.
No......
Nor can it be said that there is nothing, he saw her body.
At that time, in the cave, I don't know if it was the impulse after being desperate again, or the inexplicable excitement of finally leaving Chang'an and leaving Miyagi after being suppressed for a long time, she unbuttoned her skirt in front of him.
Empress Meng had never done such a thing before, as an unfavored queen, and even a virgin queen to this day, the people in the palace have always sympathized with her for not being able to get Emperor Xuanjing's favor.
Even her aunt, Empress Dowager Meng, did not think so.
However, for Empress Meng herself, this is really nothing.
She doesn't like Emperor Xuanjing at all, and it's really good that she doesn't have to sleep for this person.
But Gongsun was happy......
He was silent for only a moment, then he walked over, picked up the skirt on the ground, and draped it over her.
The queen was at a loss, ashamed and embarrassed, her chest trembled, and tears rolled in her eyes.
Gongsun Xi looked at her and wanted to say something, but the two faced each other quietly for a moment, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Empress Meng didn't know how she would get along with him in the next two days?
Later, he thought of contacting his colleagues, and the other party came to answer, and one of them looked like one of the little leaders, only to see Queen Meng, her eyes were straight, and her eyes were hooked, scanning back and forth on her.
The queen was very frightened by him, and subconsciously wanted to hide behind Gongsun Xi. It's just that he took a step and froze, because he didn't know what Gongsun Xi's refusal in the cave at that time meant?
Dislike, disdain, rejection, or something else that you can't think of?
At this moment, will you get more and more annoyed because of your behavior of using him as a shield?
At this time, Gongsun Xi said lightly, "This is my person", and the little boss instantly accepted his greed and covetousness, replaced it with a serious look, and respectfully shouted "sister-in-law".
Looking back on it to this day, Empress Meng feels that she at that time seemed to be stepping on a pile of cotton, like a dream.
It's a pity that Gongsun Xi also said this, and the subsequent relationship has so far adhered to the rules and etiquette, and refused to go beyond half a step.
Empress Meng felt that this might be a sign of respect, but for her current situation, it was somewhat empty and unrealistic, no commitment, no follow-up fear.
She really wanted to have an open and honest conversation with Gongsun Xi to find out what this person thought and what his plans were.
But Gongsun Xi has not recovered from his illness yet, and secondly, he is such a taciturn person, it is said that his main mother Sheng Weiqiao may not be able to pry out a few words...... The queen was worried that she had spoken to him, and he was just silent.
She didn't know how to deal with that kind of scene?
"Miss!" The brisk tone of the little maid who was in charge of serving Gongsun Xi's decoction interrupted the queen's thoughts, "Childe, please come over and talk!"
These two little maids are not very old, and their temperament is also lively, probably seeing that Gongsun Xi and Queen Meng are not a few years older than them, and they don't have any scolding and beating, and they are not very afraid of the master they know, and they are still frowning at the moment, "Gongzi said that he wanted to tell you alone!"
"Ah Xi is also going to talk to me?" The queen was overjoyed, hurriedly took a self-portrait in the mirror, and added two hairpin rings before getting up, and her heart was a little bored with the little boss who looked at her with hook-like eyes before, but she was a little distracted: these hairpin rings were specially sent by the little boss, saying that they were a meeting gift for the "sister-in-law", which was actually a reparation for the offense at that time.
Otherwise, the queen has no long things at this time, and she has no decoration at all.
It's just that when she walked into Gongsun Xi's house alone with a nervous and shy mood, she saw him frowning deeply, watching the door close, so she asked in a low voice: "Niangniang, are you familiar with the terrain of Shanglin Garden?"
"......" Queen was stunned for a moment, not only for his words for herself, but also for the voice of the estranged "Niangniang", huge disappointment, so that she couldn't help but lose her temper, "You...... Do you regret calling me that now?"
