Xu Wenhan saluted and stood aside. Gege glanced at Xu Zhixian and said, "Please come to Xu Zhixian today, there is only one thing to tell." Ruoqing will live in the Qingfeng store in this county for three or five days, and I hope that Xu Zhixian will take care of it. ”

Xu Wenhan took a deep look and said, "Qing Gege is polite, that is the duty that a lowly duty should do. The humble official originally wanted Qing Gege to live in the county government office, but since Qing Gege was unwilling, he had to call a few government officials to come over and be responsible for protecting Qing Gege's safety. ”

Gege said indifferently: "That's not necessary. I have dark incense protection by my side, presumably those third-rate characters can't take me down, as long as I don't play shady tricks. She changed her words and said: "But the store is serious about business, in case I suffer something because of Ruoqing, I can't stand it, so I hope that Xu Zhixian will send a few officials to watch it carefully, don't let the thieves touch the dark and poison their hands." ”

Gege was sharp, fortunately Xu Wenhan agreed, nodded and said: "What Qing Gege said is that the lowly will send a messenger to be on duty day and night, taking turns on duty to protect the safety of the store." ”

Gege waved his hand and said, "That's good, there is Lao Xu Zhixian." After that, he got up and didn't look at Cheng Dabao, but said to Jin Wei and Dark Incense: "Let's go, let's still go back to live in the East Courtyard, once something happens, but there is Xu Zhixian to testify and vouch, presumably those thieves don't dare to do it openly." ”

The east courtyard is still the east courtyard before leaving, but the building is empty. Dark incense went to the street to buy some food and came over, and ate with Gege. The tea was brought from the well in the store, and he boiled it himself to make tea.

Qingfeng store, which was supposed to be a resting place, has become a tiger's den in Longtan at this time. If you're not careful, you'll get stuck in a pit.

Jin Wei put the package on the bed and sighed: "The things are still here, why are they gone?" If you say that you have been taken away. There's no sign of a fight in this house. It's a puzzling thing. ”

Tossed for a day, it was nearly dusk. The heat is fading, and there are clouds in the dark sky, but I am afraid that it will rain tonight.

The thought of the rain made Gege feel a heart-wrenching pain. I don't know where they are, if they live or die, if it rains. Is there a place to hide from the rain? Hongcui, Painted Screen, Bodhi, Randie, and Drunken Chun, although they are nominally her slaves, they are regarded as their own sisters in their hearts.

Xiang Gege has been fatherless and motherless since he was a child. In his bones, he is very eager for family affection. Since he has established the four guards and Hongcui, they are loyal to Gege, but Gege really treats them as brothers and sisters in his heart, so there are a few less. I don't know life and death. How could she not feel sad in her heart?

"Gege." Dark incense shouted outside the door.

"What's the matter?" He shouted through the curtain, feeling that something was wrong, and Gege said again, "Come in." ”

Lifting the curtain, Dark Xiang came in with a tea tray, but on top of it were four plates of fresh side dishes and a pot of sake.

Jin Wei hurriedly opened the small table, and Dark Xiang put the side dishes on the table one by one, and said, "Dark Fragrance knows that Gege is not good at drinking. However, the sky was gloomy, and Gege must be in a bad mood. Drink a little two, or you may be able to clear it up. ”

Gege understood Dark Fragrance's kindness. No matter what, there is no one else in the left and right rooms, and there are officials waiting outside, Cheng Dabao will not do anything at this cusp.

Seeing this, Jin Wei went to find the wine glass and filled the wine glass in front of Gege. Gege said: "There is no one else, you can also sit down, don't be restrained." ”

The two of them agreed to sit down.

Gege likes to eat light side dishes, but these four dishes are sweet and sour broad beans, eggplant in sauce, eight-flavor asparagus, and crispy loofah. Although it is not meaty, it has a light taste and is very good for drinking.

The three of them drank a glass of wine. Jin Wei asked Dark Xiang and said, "Second brother, can you tell me, where did Hongcui and the others go?" How can a good person just leave? ”

Dark Xiang first sandwiched a broad bean for Gege, and then sandwiched a chopsticks and eggplant to Jin Wei, and then he chewed a piece of loofah and ate it slowly: "Dark Fragrance, I'm afraid I'm afraid I've been caught." Interestingly, there are no signs of a fight nearby, so how did they do it? ”

Gege said lightly: "There is a better way, a common trick in the store." ”

Dark incense nodded and said, "There is only one way to give medicine." If a few people were drugged, they could be locked up in a place we don't know about. ”

The lead-inky clouds became more and more depressed, as if they were about to swallow a qiē. Only a faint light could be seen in the room. Jin Wei got up and lit the lamp.

The dark incense filled Gege's empty cup, and Gege actually drank another glass. He was overwhelmed by the wine, and after two glasses, his face flushed, and the pink looked much more delicate than the usual pale and colorless. Or because of the strength of the wine, Gege's feelings were mobilized, and the words gradually increased.

"Let's not talk about Hongcui and them first, it's a shame to say it now, it's better to think of throwing bricks and attracting jade to lure them out."

Jin Wei's face was full of puzzlement: "Xiao Gege, can you tell me how to throw bricks and attract jade?" ”

"Throwing bricks and leading jade, the original sentence is from "Passing the Lantern Record". It is said that the Tang Dynasty poet Chang Jian, I heard that Zhao Yi was going to visit the Lingyan Temple in Suzhou. In order to ask Zhao Yi to compose poems, Chang Jian first inscribed two sentences on the temple wall, and after Zhao Yi saw it, he immediately picked up the pen and wrote two sentences, and they were better than the first two sentences. Later, literati often called Chang Jian's practice "throwing bricks and attracting jade". This strategy is used in military strategy, which refers to the strategy of using similar things to confuse and deceive the enemy, make him confused, fall into the trap of me, and then take the opportunity to defeat the enemy. ”

Jin Wei nodded and said: "I understand Xiao Gege's words, but how is Xiao Gege going to throw bricks and lead jade?" ”

For a moment Gege did not answer. When the wine came up, she was a little dizzy, and rubbed her forehead twice with her right hand. Dark Xiang saw it in his eyes, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to Gege. Gege glanced up at the dark incense, and there was some tenderness in his always condensed gaze. Dark Fragrance's heart moved, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Gege took two sips of tea, his spirit was a little better, and he said: "We went to Tian Fengwang's house outside the county during the day, and we originally wanted to use this trick. It's just that I didn't expect them to arrest Hongcui first. Speaking of this, Gege's eyes flashed with the previous determination: "Tian Fengwang is the brick in our hands, if we don't throw away this brick, they won't get into the circle we have set up." At this time, there is no other way, he will not do me, if I don't take them down, I will not leave this Luanping County. With that, Gege picked up the third glass of wine and drank it up.

"Gege!" Seeing that Gege drank the third glass of wine, Dark Fragrance was busy trying to stop him, but he was already a step too late. After three glasses of wine, Gege, who was overwhelmed by alcohol, was confused and drowsy, and was about to fall on the table. Dark Fragrance was quick-eyed, put her hands on the table, and hugged Gege's head.

"Golden Girl, make up the bed." Dark Fragrance helped Gege and let her lean on her shoulder and sleep more comfortably. Waiting for Jin Wei to clean up the bed, the dark fragrance beauty hugged Gege and put it on the bed, gently covered the thin quilt, and Fang whispered to Jin Wei and said: "I'll wait behind the screen, if something happens, you just call me." ”

Jin Wei nodded and said yes. (To be continued......)
