The pattern of Huiwang's Mansion is a typical Jiangnan garden, with five steps and a pavilion and ten steps and a bridge. In March and April, the lotus flowers in the pond have not yet budded, the light leaking from the window screen is blurred on the surface of the secluded pool, and a frog chirps occasionally emerge under the sound of murmuring water.

The window lattice supported a corner, and the breeze slowly poured in, blowing a slight ripple on the sleeves of Yongque. In the short time he arrived at King Hui's Mansion, he had changed from head to toe in a brand new outfit, a gold python on a silver background, a tapered ring around his waist did not hang a tooth card, but a tourmaline Buddha card was hung, and the soap boots were spotless, so refreshing that he could find the bloody wind of less than half an hour ago.

Halfway through the night, the sky was about to dawn, but the thrill of the night made every corner of King Hui's mansion seem to be whispering. The bandits were slaughtered, but the princess's whereabouts are still unknown, and it seems that everyone here will not be able to get a good night's sleep.

Qin Slow was very sleepy, so sleepy that her eyelids began to fight when she was chatting with Huo An and farting, thinking that she could get a good night's sleep before the destiny of heaven, but at this moment, she looked at someone who came uninvited, and sighed in her heart, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep.

She obediently straightened up and sat down on her legs, like a junior listening to the elder's words: "Governor, what do you command?" ”

Yongque smiled and said softly: "What are you doing with me so restrained, it's just that you didn't sleep to come to see you, are you frightened today?" ”

Qin Chu hurriedly shook his head: "Lord Lao is worried, with Huo Xiaogong's protection, I am not injured or in pain." ”

Her cleverness knew early on that other girls' families had inexplicably ruined their reputation and became the wife of an eunuch, she was either shocked or annoyed, but she didn't care at all, and she didn't even show a little bit in front of King Hui. Yongque likes to deal with smart people, and he doesn't bother to say anything: "It's good if it's not hurt," he held his kind eyebrows, and his ivory-like fingers tapped his knee, and turned the conversation around, "Now that Princess Hui is still nowhere to be seen, you and Huo An have been in Huba's bandit village all day, have you heard them talk?" ”

After capturing Hu Ba, Jinyiwei swept the entire cottage, not to mention Princess Hui, and even the old and young women and children in the village were nowhere to be seen. The only passage through the village was strictly guarded by their men, and no one was seen entering for the first time. In the blue sky and white day, can so many people evaporate from the world?

Another strange thing, from the time he left Beijing to the present, one ring after another, it seems that all the strange things in the world are swarming in front of him for a while.

The death of the household official, the death of the water ghost Thirteen, and the crazy lady of the Hua family to the empty cottage today, each of them reveals something unusual. Are they connected, and where do they lead? In the past, he was always a layout person, using chess pieces to lay out a dead game with nowhere to escape for the prey, but now he has become a person in the game.

There are only two lonely things in life, one is that there is no opponent to beat; The second is that there is no self-knowledge to sue. Yongque has come to this day, and his opponent has had countless ups and downs, but either he has fallen into the bones under his feet, or he is difficult to match for a long time; And confidant......

He never had, and he didn't bother to have it.

As for the person in front of him, there are too many things piled up in his mind to make him occasionally have such a heat, and the ghost came here by mistake, he doesn't know if her mind is pure or not, but after all, he is a rare smart person. Threesome, there must be my teacher, maybe find an outsider to talk about, there will be some unexpected open benefits.

Yongque's good color made Qin slow stunned, carefully recalled what he saw and heard during the day, and said gently: "Most of the women, children, and children I saw after Huo Xiaogonggong and I were tied up in the bandit village, there were very few young women, and there were no princess-like characters like the princess described by Prince Hui. The children in the village had never mentioned it, and there were new faces there, so I thought there were two possibilities, either the bandits were not tied up at all, or they were tied up but lost people, so they arrested me and went to make up for it. ”

"Are you still playing with your children in the village?" Yongque said unexpectedly, she was not bad, and her daring was not like being tied up as a hostage, but like going to the mountains and rivers.

Qin Slow Yanyan: "I just told them a story......

"What's the story?" Yongque was curious.

After grinding for a long time, Qin slowly hung his head, tugged at the corners of his clothes, and his voice was as thin as a mosquito: "Guan Gong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace to fight Qin Qiong......"

"......" Yongque endured it, but still couldn't restrain himself from laughing.

He smiled, his frowning eyebrows were completely relaxed, bright and happy, and he saw that Qin was so distracted that he didn't notice the white python that swam leisurely at some point.

The white python is a baby raised by Yongque, delicious and drunk, even the wind and dust servants are not willing to take it with them, and they are sent by people unhurriedly behind, for fear that there will be a mistake on the road. It's spring, and when it wakes up from hibernation, it has a much more lively temperament, raising its head to look at Yongque and then at Qin Slow, and lazily rolled up Qin Slow's legs.

Qin Chu only felt a chill swim up from her ankles, she shivered, wanted to stomp her feet but found that her legs and stomach were heavy, and she couldn't move at all, as soon as she lowered her head, her eyes suddenly widened, and she cried out, her whole body trembled like a sieve, her teeth chattered, and she cried: "Overseer!" Overseer! There are snakes!! ”

Yongque saw the sneaky lazy thing crawling in early in the morning, and he couldn't fall asleep when he went to see it before, but when he woke up, he forgot about him when he saw the beautiful little girl, and went straight to someone's lap. It is unthinkable, not everyone is rare to have a big snake with a thick bowl tied to the body, especially a girl's family.

However, it was the first time he had seen Qin Slow's disgraced appearance, so he looked no different from an ordinary girl's house, he watched the play lightly with his hands, and waited until Qin Slow's tears were rolling before he called out twice unhurriedly: "Come down, Bering." ”

The white python comfortably rested on Qin Slow's knee, Yongque only moved his head slightly to look at it, but climbed up inch by inch, so frightened that Qin Slow was as stiff as fast wood, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and he couldn't breathe: "Overseer, I beg you, you get it away quickly......"

She didn't dare to wipe her tears, and the tears painted her face into a flower cat, and the placket of her clothes was deeply watery.

He wanted to tease her, but he went too far and made people cry, which was so as not to lose the fun. He pursed the corners of his mouth, and with a gentle sweep of his sleeve wind, the triumphant white python twitched, and his body slumped and let go of Qin Slow's legs.

Qin Slow's tears were still more than endless, seeing that there was a trend of intensifying, Yongque was first impatient and then annoyed by her crying, and then saw her crying more and more sad and headache: "I've taught it a lesson for you, why are you crying?" It's just a snake. “

She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, choked up and forcibly argued: "I was afraid of snakes when I was a child, and I was afraid even of the snakes in the painting. Some people are naturally afraid of cats, and some people are naturally afraid of dogs, so why don't I be afraid of snakes! ”

It turns out that the women of the world are all in general appearance, and they used to see that the first emperor in the harem coaxed this and annoyed that, and sighed at him every day, he was puzzled and disdainful.

When it came to changing to himself, he was at a loss, what should he do to intimidate her? I must have cried even more, coax?

He had never coaxed the girl's house, his hand was rusty, and his voice was stiff: "Don't cry, it's a big deal that our family will tell it not to appear in front of you again." ”

Qin Chu only cared about sobbing, sniffed for a long time and said, "Then you let it go away." ”

For so many years, it was the first time to coax people, and it was the first time to be assigned, but who told him to be at a loss, Yongque reluctantly kicked the white python with his feet.

The white python that had received a blow for no reason was still aggrieved, Yongque kicked it, it pretended to be dead on the ground and did not move, it did not move, Qin was slow and did not dare to move.

The two of them were a snake, frozen there, Yongque sighed, and first broke the solidified atmosphere: "I have raised this white python for many years, it is docile and humane, you don't have to be so afraid of it." ”

Qin slowly put away her tears, she swallowed her throat, and muttered: "What do you like, it's not good, like a snake......"

"This snake has saved my life, and the life-saving benefactor naturally can't be slow." Yongque said lightly.

The white python was entrenched on the ground, seeing this, Qin Slow's courage gradually enlarged, glanced at the white python, and said, "Why is it missing a piece of its tail?" ”

Yongque also glanced at the white python and smiled, but the smile was very light, and he touched the python's head: "I just entered the East Factory and went out on a business trip, fell into the trap of thieves, fell into a mountain stream in a hurry, and couldn't move for a few days and nights." When it was about to starve to death, it crawled over, and I reached out and grabbed it and bit down on the flesh. It was so angry that it was about to hang me when it wrapped its tail around it, but for some reason it let go of its tail when I was about to breathe. Maybe it didn't have much strength at that time, or maybe it didn't make much sense to kill a dying person, but it let me die. ”

After listening quietly, Qin slowly let out a long sigh for a long time: "It's not easy to live. ”

A young girl, who was at the beginning of her prime, made this sound funny, and he also thought he was funny, probably really a ghost, and he didn't know why he talked to her so much.

Qin slowly sighed, but he still didn't dare to touch the white python, and shrank on the stool hand and foot: "The overseer climbed up from the cliff under the old tree?" ”

As soon as she asked, Yongque's mind was pulled back to the mountain bandit case, and he calmed down and roughly reasoned about it: "Well, although that place is a cliff, in comparison, the surface is rugged and there are many footholds. There is no shortage of good climbers in the brocade guard. ”

Qin slowly nodded, at that time she sat under the tree and looked at it, and also felt that it was the only breakthrough point except for the main road, he and King Hui were one in the light and the other in the dark, and they cooperated seamlessly: "The overseer is wise." ”

He said disapprerovingly: "We have heard this kind of beautiful words more than a thousand times, don't say it, you did see many women and children living at home with children before?" ”

"Yes." Qin nodded slowly.

"Strange...... Yongque stroked the Buddha card on his waist, "Then have you ever seen other roads leading to the bottom of the mountain?" ”

Qin shook his head slowly, and then said, "Even if there is, they won't let me see it." ”

"What do you think of this incident?" Yongque said coldly, looking at her with a smile, "They only arrested you to replace Princess Hui, but sooner or later, the fake princess will wear a gang, why would these mountain bandits arrest you in one more move?" ”

Qin was stunned for a moment, and muttered rhetorically, "Yes, why?" ”

She bit her lip, her expression was confused and a little annoyed, it didn't seem to be acting, it seemed that she really didn't know. Yongque put his hand on his knee and said thoughtfully: "People will not disappear out of thin air, unless there is another unknown secret passage on the mountain, since there is no ...... on the ground."

"That must be in the middle of the mountain," Qin said slowly, "to be precise, a tunnel was made in the mountain." ”

"The Jiangnan Mountains are not as good as the north, the soil is loose, the rock formations are thin, if it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and time, it is not impossible to make a passage." Yongque followed her, "It's just that people with this ability are rare in the world, especially here......"

Qin slowly opened his mouth; "The Overseer is talking about ......"

"Shhhhh......h ”

"Oh!" Qin slowly nodded vigorously, and then subconsciously stretched out his tongue to lick his dry lips......

"......" Yongque froze.

Qin Que, who realized what he had licked, was also shocked, and before he hurriedly apologized, Yongque had already retracted his hand, got up with his hand and said coldly: "While the hour is still there, there are a lot of things to do in the morning." ”

After saying that, he immediately brushed his sleeves away, Qin Chu thought of something and hurriedly shouted: "Overseer, is there any whereabouts of Ren Zhongping?" ”

Yongque stopped for a moment, and didn't look back: "You said that medical saint?" ”

Qin slowly nodded: "He is also my friend, I am a little worried about his safety." ”

"I sent someone to inquire about his whereabouts, and the surrounding villagers said that they had seen a decorated carriage standing nearby, but they had not seen anyone on the car." Yongque's tone was cold, "The other party must have taken a fancy to his medical skills when he arrested him, and since he has asked for it, he must not be too embarrassed by him." ”

The last word settled, his figure had disappeared outside the door, and the white python looked at it, and followed by himself with his tail drooping.

Although it was only a few words, Qin Chu still received a lot of comfort, she touched her lips, and said to herself: "The overseer is applying orange blossom-flavored balm? ”

Walking to the pavilion bridge, the little red behind Yongque's ears has been blown away by the night wind, he has never liked to be touched, let alone walking in the most taboo and concubines. His master just didn't have a clear brain, and he couldn't get involved with the first emperor and concubine before he ended up in ruin and a tragic death. Although the people of Dongchang don't have a good reputation, the lessons of the past are vivid, and he always reminds himself not to be confused by women.

Perhaps because of this, it was almost a little out of shape for a moment. But it was also a momentary gaffe, he looked at the ingenious mountain and stone pavilions far and near, and the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was very different from the north. Compared with the majestic and magnificent heavenly style of God, but the small bridge and flowing water, the rockery pebbles also have the delicate temperament of the small jasper, which makes people relax the string that is always tight in the imperial city.

The new emperor first tasted the taste of power, and it seemed that he would be reluctant to summon him back to Beijing for a while and ask him to watch King Hui?

Joke, King Hui's family has been entrenched here for many years, and the new emperor has no plan and ability to cut the domain for the time being, so it is difficult for him to watch it here for the rest of his life!

Yongque closed his eyes and exhaled deeply, it seems that this capital is back and back, and if he doesn't go back, he has to go back, but fortunately, the power of criticizing the red is still in his hands, and the people in the West Factory can't be much of a big demon.

┉┉∞∞┉┉┉┉∞∞┉┉┉

After Yongque's words last night, Qin Slow didn't dare to sleep for a night. Holding the pillow and leaning on the couch half-asleep and squinting for two hours, Huo An rushed in, looked at her sloppy appearance and screamed at the ancestors, ripped the person off, pressed it to the basin, rolled up his sleeves to help her wipe her face, and complained: "Girl, didn't the slave make water for you yesterday?" I don't know how to wash myself, look at you like this, why do you still look like crawling out of the dirt! ”

Qin Slow snatched the cloth towel from his hand, wiped it on his face in a delirious manner, and yawned: "After the overseer came last night, he talked for a while, and when he left, the water was cold." ”

Huo An's expression changed instantly, and he leaned over awkwardly: "The Overseer only talked to you last night?" ”

Qin sighed slowly: "He also called his snake to scare me." ”

"What else?" Huo An asked anxiously.

And also...... Qin Slow remembered the smell of orange blossoms he licked on his mouth, thought about it and decided not to say it, and threw the cloth towel: "It's gone!" ”

Huo An closed his eyes and shook his head like a rattle: "Rotten wood can't be carved!" Rotten wood cannot be carved! ”

Qin is not stupid, she can hear Huo An's meaning a little, she is strange, even if Yongque is the commander of Dongchang, in the final analysis, he is also a eunuch, what else can he do with her.

She pursed her lips, Huo An's nagging was always in her left ear and out of her right ear, and she slowly walked to the wooden frame and made a wood: "Where are my clothes?" ”

"This is your clothes!" Huo An took off the brocade and silk one by one, "The colors and materials are all personally selected by the Overseer!" At the end of last year, the new tribute came up, and the satin of one hundred and ten gold horses was also available in the palace. Girl, the Overseer has put a lot of thought into you, you know! ”

Qin Chu looked at the gorgeous dress and said with a sad face: "This is not suitable......"

Huo An craned his neck, like a proud little peacock: "With the identity of the Overseer alone, you can wear anything except dragon robes and phoenix clothes!" ”

"......" The people in Dongchang are really arrogant, Qin slowly knows that his arms can't reach his thighs, not to mention that he has to act in a full set, so she resignedly put on her clothes layer by layer by Huo An's service.

"Don't say it...... Huo An looked at her in amazement, "It's said that people rely on clothes and horses to rely on saddles, and this is true." A good person deserves good clothes, and the girl's dress is much better than those ladies in the imperial city. ”

Qin slowly looked at himself in the mirror, touched his face for a long time, and sighed slightly.

"Haven't got it done yet?" A faintly impatient voice sounded outside the door.
