Chapter 412: The dove occupies the magpie's nest
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
"Young Master." The butler's voice came in.
"What's wrong?" Zhu Ji opened the door and asked.
"Someone just sent a letter saying it's for you."
Zhu Ji frowned, took the letter and looked at it, his face changed slightly.
"Okay, I see, you go down." Zhu Ji sent the housekeeper away and closed the door.
"Brother Lin, Shi Chongxin wrote me a letter, and it also mentioned you." Zhu Ji walked back to the table.
Lin Shu took the letter impatiently and quickly glanced at it. After reading it, his face turned from Y to Qing, and his face was full of joy: "I knew he had other difficulties." ”
"Brother Lin, don't be too happy, I can't think of any hardship he can have for us, and since he has hardships, why don't you say it clearly in the letter? Do we have to go out of the city? ”
"Didn't he say that? This matter is related to King Wu, in short, let's hurry out of the city, what are you dissatisfied with, go out of the city and ask him if you know? ”
Zhu Ji frowned: "Brother Lin, don't you think this thing is a bit weird." ”
"Weird?"
"I can't tell, I always think it's strange, why is he so mysterious?"
"Alright, don't worry about it, let's go." Lin Shu grabbed him and walked out the door.
"Wait." Zhu Ji went back to the room and took a spear, and then spoke: "Let's go." ”
Lin Shu shook his head and smiled: "You are too careful, what reason does he have to harm us?" ”
"It's okay to be careful."
As they spoke, the two led two horses in Zhu's Mansion and, according to the agreement, headed for the bamboo forest twenty miles west of the city.
When the two of them were about to arrive at the bamboo forest, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind them.
Lin Shu turned his head and said in surprise: "It's Brother Shi, he really came!" ”
The two reined in their horses, and after a while, Shi Chongxin came on horseback.
"Brother Shi, what the hell are you doing?" Lin Shu asked eagerly.
After Zhu Ji glanced at Shi Chongxin, he was surprised: "Are you injured?" ”
Shi Chongxin looked down at his collar, only to see that the blood had seeped out, and smiled bitterly: "I was injured a little, but fortunately I caught up with you, this is not the place to talk, come with me." ”
As he spoke, he* got on his horse and turned his head in one direction.
"Aren't you going to the West Bamboo Forest?" Lin Shu was puzzled.
"There is an ambush there, and if you go now, you will surely die." After saying this, Shi Chongxin rode away.
Lin Shu and Zhu Ji glanced at each other and chased after each other.
The three of them rode all the way to a small river outside the city, and Shi Chongxin stopped.
"Brother Shi, what is the situation?" Lin Shu asked as soon as he got off the horse.
Shi Chongxin looked at the lake and muttered, "I made a big mistake. ”
"Error?" Lin Shu was even more confused.
"You should already know that I was named the Marquis of the Forbidden Army by King Wu, right?"
"Of course I do."
"Actually, the Marquis of Du Yu who lives in Shifu," Shi Chongxin turned his head to look at the two: "It's not me." ”
Zhu Ji shuddered: "Then who is he?" ”
"His name is Chen De, I met him on the way to Hangzhou, he stole my letters, assumed my name, and kept sending people to hunt me down."
"The companion you said was waiting for you at the inn?"
"Yes."
"Then he deliberately let us come outside the city just to kill us?" Zhu Ji reacted quickly.
"Because you're the only ones who know who I am." Shi Chongxin nodded.
Lin Shu was furious: "I said why didn't you see me, it turned out that bastard pretended to be you, go, let's go expose him!" ”
Shi Chongxin shook his head: "It's useless, that guy stole the letter from my teacher Wang Qian, and now, His Royal Highness King Wu has identified him as Shi Chongxin." ”
"It's not true, he's not your teacher's disciple at all, can't you expose him on this basis?" Zhu Ji asked.
"That thief was scheming, and asked me a lot about the teacher along the way, so it's hard to expose him with this." Shi Chongxin lowered his eyelids.
"What then? Is it just for him to occupy the magpie's nest? Lin Shu gritted his teeth.
Shi Chongxin was silent for a while, and then said: "I lost that letter, which not only betrays the teacher's trust in me, but also may affect His Royal Highness King Wu's opinion of the teacher in the future, so no matter what, I will deal with him to the end!" ”
"I'll help you!" Lin Shu did not hesitate.
"He is now the Marquis of the forbidden army, and his power is monstrous, I am afraid that he will be in danger." Shi Chongxin stared into his eyes and said.
"So what?"
Shi Chongxin understood from Lin Shu's expression that he was mentally prepared for the worst and decided to help himself with all his might, which deeply touched him.
At this time, Zhu Ji next to him spoke: "Brother Shi, what are you going to do?" ”
Shi Chongxin took a deep breath and said, "Chen De is now slandering me as a Jiangyang thief, and he is looking for me, and he is also offering a reward in the underworld. Now that the people are chasing me, there is also an army of 500 people chasing me, so I want to find a place to hide first, and then slowly find an opportunity in the future. ”
"Then hide in my house!"
"I'm afraid it will bring disaster to your family."
Zhu Ji smiled slightly: "Although my father used to be a pirate, he was the most important morality, as his son, how could I not save my good friend when he died." ”
Shi Chongxin said in a condensed voice: "I won't say much about Xie, from now on, you will always be my brother." ”
As he spoke, he held out a hand.
Lin Shu grabbed the hand hard and laughed: "Then you don't need to say." ”
Zhu Ji smiled and put his hand up: "Brother Shi, there is something I said, don't be surprised. ”
"Say it."
"Actually, I'm quite happy when I hear what happened to you."
"Why is that?" Shi Chongxin's eyes widened.
Lin Shu laughed: "I understand, do you think that although Brother Shi suffered a very miserable situation, after all, it was still the same Brother Shi we drank together, and he was not treacherous." ”
Zhu Ji smiled slightly and acquiesced to Lin Shu's statement.
Shi Chongxin touched his nose and said apologetically: "Brother Zhu, I'm sorry, because I was chased and killed at the time, so I couldn't go to the appointment." ”
"What are you talking about, let's go, let's go home!" Zhu Ji patted him on the shoulder.
"yes, let's have a good drink of him tonight." Lin Shu laughed.
Shi Chongxin's eyes gradually fogged, he blinked, and said with a smile: "That's not good, now that the crisis is lurking, it's better to drink less, and when it's done, let's drink again." ”
The three of them* got on their horses and headed for the city of Hangzhou.
……
Golden House.
In the lobby, Yuan Qing bowed and said, "Master, the disciple has asked you to say goodbye." ”
"Yuanqing, you are now a member of the imperial court, I can't stand such a big gift from you." Jin Muxing said with a smile.
"What the master said, Yuanqing can have today, it all depends on Brother Zhan and you, Yuanqing will never forget."
"What's the matter, your senior brother didn't help?" Jin Muxing narrowed his eyes.
"Of course not, thanks to the elder brother."
"Okay, let's talk about it, come to me today, is there something wrong?"
"I'm here to find Senior Sister."
"Oh, Laneige came back today to see her mother, right in the backyard, what are you looking for her?"
At that moment, a voice came from afar.
"Dad, isn't Yuanqing here!"
As soon as the words fell, a delicate figure rushed into the lobby, it was Jin Lanzhi.
"Senior brother, you haven't been here for a long time." She grumbled.
"Senior sister, I've been too busy lately, and when I'm done, I'll come and ask the master for greeting."
"That's right, Brother Zhan is busier now than when he was in Hui'an Mansion, hey, tell me quickly, what does it feel like to be a judge?"
"I'm tired." Yuan Qing's shoulders collapsed.
"Hehehe." Jin Lanzhi bent down and laughed: "Yuanqing, do you know? I've always thought that you being an official is the most fun, but if you become the prime minister in the future, it's interesting to think about it, ouch, I'm dying! ”
"Laneige, how do you speak!" Jin Muxing reprimanded.
"Senior sister, don't look at me like this, I'm actually quite strict in front of other people, and many people will be afraid of me." Yuan Qing scratched his cheek.
Jin Lanzhi laughed even harder.
Yuan Qing looked at Jin Muxing with a bitter face, and Jin Muxing patted the armrest: "Laneige, don't laugh, Yuan Qing should be looking for you to have a serious matter." ”
"Oh? What's the matter? Jin Lanzhi blinked.
Yuan Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Senior sister, you don't know that the level of catching speed in Hangzhou Mansion is really poor. It's far less fast than our Hui'an Mansion, although I transferred a few people from Hui'an Mansion, it's still useless. For this matter, Concubine Qing called Guan Gong and me over and reprimanded her, saying that she had caught a quick bribe from a merchant and disrupted the market. ”
Jin Lanzhi instantly realized that the matter was serious, and put away his smile: "Then what do you want me to do?" ”
