Chapter 2 - Phoenix Star King
Now that he has found the trace of Phoenix Xingjun and accidentally made a small fortune, Wan Zhang's mood suddenly turned sharply, and the hard life of three months of thrift has finally come to an end, and he is holding the fortune teller and trotting happily all the way. After returning to the inn www.biquge.info, he first returned the things he had borrowed from the shopkeeper, and then ordered a table of good wine and food, and after eating and drinking enough, he was satisfied with his small belongings and the remaining few taels of silver and planned to go to the person he should assist.
After a few days of secret observation outside the Taishou Mansion, Wan Zhang almost knew all the information about the person he was going to assist:
Murong Chong, the former king of Yanzhongshan, was destroyed in Great Qin at the age of twelve, and Fu Jian, the king of Qin, moved the Murong royal family to Chang'an, and three years later, Fu Jian sent him out as the Taishou of Pingyang.
And all he has to do is to help him destroy the Qin State and restore Dayan.
After finding out the details, Wanzhang finally walked to the gate of the Taishou Mansion one day, there were two mighty stone lions standing at the huge door, she walked down the stairs to the door, and smiled at the two bored servants guarding the door:
"Two little brothers, can you go to the house and report it, and say that the people have something to find Lord Taishou."
The two looked her up and down for a while, and saw that she was just a powerless little commoner, they looked at each other and sneered, one was too lazy to pay attention to her, and the other shook his hand at her with his head held high, and said arrogantly: "Go, go, Lord Taishou is what you want to see?" Hurry up, hurry up, go away! ”
Wan Zhang secretly rolled his huge eyes, why did the people around Murong Chong judge people so badly, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard? Sure enough, he still needs his own, otherwise just because of these bullying subordinates, don't say that destroying Qin Fuyan is a matter of being a peaceful official and living a safe and quiet life.
She would not be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg, and she didn't want to entangle too much with this kind of person, so she directly and concisely took out a few taels of silver from her body, held two ingots in each hand and handed them to the two domestic servants, and said with a smile: "Please ask the two little brothers to be accommodating." ”
Sure enough, after receiving the silver, the two people immediately changed their faces, first looked at each other's money, and confirmed that the amount of silver she gave to the two of them was the same, and then suddenly smiled, but pretended to be embarrassed, and said: "I see that you are also an understanding person, and if you are okay, then we will help you go inside and say something, but if you are too willing to see you, you can't say for sure." ”
"Thank you both."
Wan Zhang bowed his head and thanked him, but in his heart he was secretly scolding the two of them for looking down on people.
One person pushed the door into the mansion, and it was only a moment when the door was opened, and Wanzhang didn't have time to see the scenery in the mansion clearly.
It wasn't long before the man came out of it, and when he saw her, he looked regretful, sighed, shook his head and said, "No, Taishou really won't see you, you better go back." ”
"Did you hear Taishou say that with your own ears?" Wanzhang said urgently.
Seeing that she didn't seem to believe her words, the other party also became anxious: "It's the words of the people around Taishou, what kind of character and what identity are we Taishou?" And how can you personally respond to these little things? ”
Another gatekeeper heard the conversation between the two of them, and came over to help, saying, "That's it." I think you'd better go back, what's the matter with you just being so stupidly clubbing at the door? ”
Wanzhang was so angry that she couldn't even speak, and at a glance, she knew that the person didn't help her report at all, but she accepted her money for nothing, and at this moment she still had the face to laugh at herself behind her back.
But what can I do now?
I had to leave first and make a new decision.
While walking and sighing, Murong Chong, Murong Chong, according to what she saw, it is even more difficult to set up a group of subordinates like this to achieve a great cause.
After that, Wanzhang also went to the gate of the Taishou Mansion to try a few times, and although the subordinates guarding the door changed several shifts, they only took her money and did not do her business. The world only knows that Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to go out of the mountain to visit the thatched house, I am afraid that I have not heard of anyone who took the initiative to seek refuge in others, and she has eaten so many closed-door soups, she can be regarded as a new creation. After a few times, the idea of continuing this path was completely dispelled, after all......
She really doesn't have that much money to waste anymore.
And the new way she changed was to squat opposite the Taishou Mansion, from morning to night, from the sun just climbed up the mountain to go out, and returned in the moonlight wearing the stars and the moon.
It took several days, when the little brother who guarded the door felt that he might be unemployed, and the inn where she stayed had to keep her door open every night, finally, one day, Wanzhang's perseverance finally paid off.
The door that she had been staring at for five whole days, and even the door with a few door nails on it, and what kind of pattern the buckle was, finally slowly opened from the inside out.
I saw that the two gatekeepers who were full of disdain when they saw her were standing with their heads bowed respectfully at this moment, and later, three or four small servants came out of it first, and they also walked to both sides of the door to stand with their heads bowed, and after that, it was Murong Chong, the main lord surrounded by slaves, who came out.
Dressed in gold and gold, he looked even more dignified, and walked straight to the carriage at the gate with a light face, followed by five or six people who looked like attendants, and each got into the handsome horse behind the carriage.
Seeing that the opportunity could not be lost, Wan Zhang hurriedly rushed over from the opposite ten meters away like an arrow from the string, bluffing everyone present, several attendants who had not yet mounted the horse quickly blocked in front of Murong Chong, and those who had already mounted the horse also immediately jumped off the horse, rushed over to stop her at the fastest speed, and stared at her with fierce eyes.
Wan Zhang looked at this posture in a daze, gasped, and didn't dare to move, imagining that if he took a step closer, or made any more movements, he might already have a sword on his neck now.
Maybe he is indeed too reckless, but will the other party's reaction be too much?
However, when she secretly looked at the situation around her again, she realized that her imagination was still too simple, and now what she was facing and seeing was only some overt defenses, and I was afraid that at most it was only one-tenth of the many defenses around Murong Chong.
The flying shadows on the eaves, the tracks of people in the alleys, and even the seemingly ordinary people and tea and egg vendors on the road are secretly watching their every move. And even the attendants who could be seen in the bright place in front of him, although they did not reveal their weapons, they all kept their movements ready to attack, as if they were waiting for what they would do in the next second, and then they could take out their weapons and dispose of themselves in an instant.
She turned from scared to glad, fortunately she didn't carry any controlled knives or things that would be mistaken for hurting people, and she didn't have martial arts at first glance, otherwise, she might have died unknowingly before she could get closer, and she was handled cleanly by these people, so that their breezy and moonlit masters couldn't see any blood stains in their eyes.
A person, even if he was born in a heavenly family since he was a child, has a noble status, and later encountered some changes, so he is sensitive and suspicious, but at this level, how much of a soldier must have a sense of crisis and see how much potential danger exists around him, so that he can train such a strong defense in both quantity and quality over the years?
Although he was stingy with his life, he didn't dare to make any movements, and even his breathing was cautious, keeping his hands in a position where these attendants could see.
But when she saw Murong Chong not far away, as if she didn't see a person blocking his way, and was surrounded by his attendants, and was about to get into the car again, she still hurriedly stopped him desperately:
"Phoenix ......"
The four words Phoenix Xingjun that he was about to blurt out were fortunately swallowed back by himself in time, "Lord Taishou, please wait a minute!" ”
Murong Chong finally stopped his movements, got out of the car and slowly turned his head to look at him, and Wanzhang realized that these attendants must not be doing anything to him at this moment, so he also blocked them with his hand and walked a few steps closer to the carriage.
Murong Chong only felt that this voice was a little familiar, so he turned his head and looked at the person who stopped him, looked at it and felt familiar, and after remembering where they had met, he smiled lightly and said:
"Miss Wanzhang, it's you."
His smile is so shallow that it always makes people think it's just some kind of hallucination.
He said, "I don't have a surname. ”
"Huh?"
Wanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then he realized what he was talking about, he heard the phoenix character he accidentally said as a seal, so he also went down the stairs and hurriedly sloppy eyes, "Oh, what seal?" I'm afraid I misheard. ”
"Really?" He waved his hand to signal the attendants, who were still on guard, to stand back and walk towards her, "I wonder what the girl is looking for me today?" ”
Wanzhang also remembered his intention, and said straight to the point: "I came to Mao Sui to recommend myself." Don't hide it from the adult, the folk girl has been waiting outside the house for several days, and today she was finally able to meet, which can be regarded as a hard work. ”
After finishing speaking, she thought that her words were really sincere and humble, and she would definitely let the listeners immediately accept talents like herself, not to mention that he should have already seen his own strength when he tested the words that day, and now that he had found it, he would definitely list her as a guest without saying a word, and she would obey her from then on.
However, the other party suddenly laughed, and even the servants beside him covered their mouths and couldn't help laughing, and Wanzhang began to feel flustered and lacked confidence.
What kind of reaction is this, laughing with joy?
After laughing for a moment, Murong Chong asked her with a soft face, "What do you recommend?" ”
Could it be that her self-righteous rhetoric didn't even have the basic elements of smooth sentences and clear expressions to him?
Maybe it's because she has been too much respected among the village husbands and women since she was seven years old, all opinions will be listened to and respected, and any behavior will be praised and respected, so she has gradually developed too high self-confidence, and because she has been treated like this since she was a child, she has already developed a habit in her heart, and she will also see her own ability as too extraordinary, but in fact, this so-called self-confidence is the gold and jade outside of it. As long as you are slightly questioned and despised by the outside world, you will either become angry and embarrassed, or you will be confused, and you will be full of ugliness.
Wan Zhang blinked in shock, suddenly lost his confidence, and began to stammered and explained, "Self-recommendation...... Nominate yourself to be your doorman......"
The smile on the other party's face has not diminished, looking at her, it seems that she is looking at a child who is talking nonsense with the most serious expression, soft, but not trusting at all.
But it was clear that he was only a year or two older than him.
"Be a doorman in my house...... I'm afraid the girl is not suitable. Lightly, he rejected her. The girl's hexagram can be described as a supernatural and prophetic power, but it is of little use to me. ”
Then he restrained all his expressions, bowed his head to her and said goodbye: "There are still guests to meet below, I'm afraid I can't talk to the girl too much, so don't leave it at that." ”
