Chapter 70: Fifty boards each
Glen streams, hutsβ
Wen Renjun pushed the door in, holding a hare, his broad forehead covered with fine sweat, and there were large wet stains on the front and back of the colorful suit.
Lu Qiange stood at the head of the bed, stuffing the willow leaf dart into the soft leather waist cover around his waist, and when he saw the master, he greeted him.
Wen Renjun was shaking the prey in his hand to his apprentice, and said loudly:
"Newly hunted prey, I think I'll burn you to make up for it later. What, you're leaving? β
Lu Qiange nodded:
After thinking about it for a long time, he thought it was safest to go back to the palace. Now that Dongchang has won the rebellion, Kunhuang Island Tuhe should be trapped in the palace, and he plans to enter Beijing to lurk and find out some reliable news. β
Wen Renjun frowned, his old face showed a hint of surprise, his eyes looked at Lu Qiange Yingting, and gradually turned to worry:
"Qiange, is your body good?"
"Master, don't worry, the apprentice's body is known in his own heart."
Lu Qiange pouted his eyes and laughed, stepped on the corner stool with his boots, and continued to arrange the ribbon of the leggings.
Throwing away the game, he groaned, and Wen Renjun spoke:
"Now that you are away from the palace for a few days, there is no doubt that if you go back, it will be a moth to the fire, and if you are recognized, you will ......"
When his apprentice entered the Swift Tower with others and was almost captured, his appearance should have been glimpsed by the strange person sitting in the array. If that person had colluded with the Dayi Imperial Court earlier, the apprentice would have thrown himself into the net when he returned to the palace this time.
However, at this moment, Lu Qiange was calm, and he smiled easily:
"Master's worries are not all unreasonable, but the apprentice still has friends in the palace, and he will help the apprentice get through the difficulties."
Wen Renjun stared: "You mean Xin'er?" β
In the first half of his life, this one-armed ranger took in two apprentices, one was Lu Qiange, and the other was King Chen Hua Nanxin.
In the old days, Wen Ren often ventured into the palace for a person, and at that time he taught the young King Chen some fists and feet.
And Lu Qiange is different, he is the biological son of Princess Anhe and King Wudan, and he is extremely talented in martial arts, and Wenren Junzheng is naturally willing to give it away.
Seeing that Lu Qiange nodded and shook his head again, Wen Renjun was puzzled:
"What does that mean?"
Lu Qiange did not hide it: "If you can not work for your junior brother, you won't work, and besides, the emperor's fourth princess, South China Ji Yan, can also help the apprentice." β
"Four princesses?"
Wen Renjunzheng's face changed slightly, and the blazing pupils locked the apprentice's young handsome face, and he inquired sensitively:
"Is it the daughter of the Dog Emperor? How can you trust her? β
Lu Qiange didn't answer immediately, his purple eyes turned to avoid looking at the master, and the glow of the internal force was like glass, clear and confusing:
"She has a simple brain, and she has an excellent relationship with her senior brother, and she can be considered to be of some use to her apprentice."
Wen Renjun's solemn face was somewhat restricted:
"Use and reuse, just don't regenerate the next incident."
Yu Dun thought for a moment, and he continued to speak:
"Now that you are not young, when you left Wudan with the letter of An and the princess for the teacher, the princess also talked to the teacher, and when you go back, you will discuss the matter of marrying a concubine for you......"
"What?!"
Without waiting for Lu Qiange to finish speaking, he shouted, and immediately looked anxious, and his arms were bulging:
"There is already Yunxi in my heart, what concubine does not accept concubine will not do my business, I only need to marry Yunxi in this life!"
Wen Renjun shook his head in amazement, and sighed helplessly:
"Don't mess around anymore, don't forget your true identity, if you are just an ordinary reckless person, you can do whatever you want, but you were born in the family of the Emperor Wudan, and it is the prince's responsibility to take a concubine."
Lu Qiange's purple eyes rolled round, his chest was so angry that his chest jerked violently, and he turned his head angrily:
"Don't listen, don't listen, Master, you have always understood me, then the throne of Udan was my eldest brother Solochi, and it is naturally his responsibility to take a concubine, what does it have to do with me? If you want me to marry a wife, I will only marry Yunxi, otherwise I will not marry for the rest of my life, and hide in a monk's temple in Dayi to shave my hair and become a monkββ"
"You kid!"
Wen Renjun was resentful but helpless, so he had to prepare his hands:
"You're not a good fit with her! Ruo'er has gone astray since she was a child and recognized the thief as her relative, she is already a ruined flower......"
"Masterβ"
The sentence "Broken flowers and willows" was extremely harsh, and in an instant, his heart was extremely painful, Lu Qiange shouted angrily, and smashed the chair next to his leg with his palm:
"I don't allow you to say that about her! She is a clever girl, and she has a life-saving grace for me, even if she is not perfect, she is forced by the eunuch, so I will not dislike her! β
"You ......"
Wen Renjun was suddenly speechless, he was completely shocked by the resolute expression on his apprentice's face, although he did not agree with his point of view, his heart was touched by the apprentice's enthusiasm at this time.
After a moment of looking at each other, a sigh sounded in the silent thatched hut:
"You've really grown up, and I can't control you as a teacher, so don't mention it!"
Wen Renjun lowered his eyebrows and waved his hand, and then remained silent, quietly watching Lu Qiange dressed neatly.
Suddenly, on a whim, Wen Renjun made a temporary decision:
"Wait, change clothes for the teacher, and go to the capital with you."
"Master?"
Lu Qiange pursed his lips in surprise.
Many years ago, his master buried two of the most painful things in the capital, and since then there is no confidential matter, and he will never set foot in Gyeonggi again.
What's going on now?
Wen Renjun was draped into the inner room, and the sound of the urn immediately wafted from the end of the curtain:
"I can't rest assured as a teacher, let's go to Beijing with you after thinking about it, and see Xin'er by the way...... I haven't seen him in a few years......"
Lu Qiange was silent and his eyes were heavy.
From this point of view, the person Master really wants to see is not King Chen Hua Nanxin.
β¦β¦
In the evening of the palace, the sky is full of thick clouds, covering the sky and the sun, and the breeze sends the wet and heavy water vapor into the slanted window lattice of Yongning Palace.
When Minglan walked into the main hall, he was shocked by a cold and gloomy aura, and his scalp involuntarily tingled.
On the top of the chair sat Wan Yuyao, her eyelashes slightly drooping and tasting tea, her white and slender fingertips rubbing the cold chill, and the stars and moons were shining in her eyes.
On both sides, Lihu, Tu Duxue and several young palace maids had cold and warm eyebrows.
"Chen Minglan see the imperial concubine Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an."
Is it a delusion? Why do you always feel that the mother at this moment is being enveloped by a strong murderous aura.
The surroundings were depressed and silent.
Without a response, Minglan had to maintain a prostrate posture, and he couldn't figure out for a while.
After a moment, Wan Yuyao finally slowly raised her eyes. Suddenly, two fierce eyes burst out like sharp swords, and at the same time, the jade wrist flipped and threw the cup in his hand fiercely.
The porcelain cup smashed on Minglan's forehead, but fortunately it was blocked by the satin edge of the black gauze hat so that his skin would not be injured, but a cup of hot water was poured on the man's face.
Seeing the flowers in makeup, Minglan didn't have time to wipe it, and he was sincerely afraid to worship the ground again, and his gloomy voice trembled:
"Mother is angry...... What did Weichen do that was inappropriate and inconsiderate to anger Niangniang, and I hope that Niangniang will make it clear and forgive Weichen......"
Above her head, the woman's cold voice rose angrily:
"Good slave, this palace single-handedly promoted you as the second-rank admiral, and now your wings are getting tougher and tougher, and you dare to deceive this palace!"
"Mother's anger!"
Minglan's peach blossom eyes widened suddenly. Trembling and kneeling on the ground, the fingertips of the python's sleeves bounced and twitched, and he took a deep breath and said:
"Niangniang has the grace of knowing the slave, and the slave will never dare to deceive the mother!"
Wan Yuyao was furious, squinting at Minglan and sneering:
"Hmph, don't you dare to deceive this palace? That Gu Yunxi was originally the daughter of Pei Ruyi, the former head of the dining room, this is something you know early on, why don't you want to report it to the palace? β
Minglan's heart chuckled for a moment, and his face changed drastically, and his face was as white as paper.
There is no need to think about it, the person who revealed Gu Yunxi's identity to Wan Yuyao must be Tu Duxue.
Her purpose in doing this is to provoke a gap between the governor and the imperial concubine, and she also wants Gu Yunxi to die without a place to be buried!
What an abominable woman......
Minglan suppressed his restless thoughts, straightened his upper body, and calmly bowed his hands in a soft voice, replying:
"Niangniang, Gu Yunxi's identity was indeed suspicious at the beginning, but there is no empirical evidence to be found. I wanted to take down this woman and interrogate her carefully, but I didn't want to be kidnapped by the Hidden Mountain Gang a year and a half ago, and the clues were cut off at that time......"
"If you want a clue, there is a clue here in this palace!"
Wan Yuyao smashed her fists, interrupted Minglan impatiently, and turned her head to look at Tu Duxue, her eyes shining with boundless anger:
"Now this palace already knows everything, Minglan, you should know that this palace treats you well, your west factory has caused trouble several times since the day it was built, you tell me yourself, which time is not this palace in front of the long live Lord to cover up the past for you? Now for the sake of a mere woman, you are determined to be two minds with this palace? β
"Niangniang, the minister, the minister doesn't have this heart......"
Minglan was shocked, trembling all over, and hit the ground with several rings in succession, and his nose and lips were full of cold freezing to death.
The watery eyes rose dangerously, and the moment his face sank, his red lips suddenly released a sneer:
"Hey, it's also to blame Hongu for not thinking about it. You have been serving in the Yongning Palace for some years, and now the official is promoted to the second rank in charge of the West Factory and the Gongyuan, and you have no body to work hard for official business, and you want to go back to the Admiral's Mansion is also an empty cold kang.
Since the admiral of Dongchang has been paired with someone by Zhang Luo of the East Palace, this palace will also give you one today, okay? β
Minglan frowned in surprise, not knowing Niangniang's intentions.
Wan Yuyao's eyebrows bent, then turned to a smile and looked sideways, looking at Tu Duxue and speaking:
"Xi'er, you originally entered the palace as Gu Yunxi's identity. Minglan is the most favored slave in this palace, and he still has a role in Yongning Palace. He is both blue-eyed Gu Yunxi and blue-eyed you, so after a while, you will find an auspicious day to go to his house to be with him. You work together for this palace, and this palace can sit back and relax. β
"Mother, mother, mother!"
Tu Duxue was shocked, completely forgetting the palace rules and etiquette, and that flustered appearance made Wan Yuyao feel a trace of disdain in her heart.
I really didn't expect to be smart but mistaken by cleverness, she just wanted to use the imperial concubine's suspicious and moody nature to provoke the relationship between Wan's and Xichang, and she didn't want that damn woman to not only appreciate it, but also to take her army!
Minglan smiled slyly at this moment, suddenly arched his hand, pinched his voice and raised his voice upward:
"Minister, thank you for your grace."
Wan Yuyao rolled her eyes hypocritically, and shook her head at the door:
"Okay, it's also wrong not to report you if you know it, immediately pick up the broken porcelain on the ground, and take it to the courtyard outside to kneel for half an hour."
"We're grateful."
Minglan tugged at his lips with difficulty, drawing a stiff laugh line. When he stood up with the broken cup in his hand, his dark gaze collided with the sharp eyes of Tu Duxue's Yin Owl.
The master and servant are three, he is secretly selfish, and she wants to borrow a knife to kill people. And Wan Yuyao was impartial, and each rewarded two people with fifty boards.
This game of chess is really exquisite.
