Chapter 23 Zheng Xiaoqi

Yang Yun didn't know anything about what was happening in the various forces, and he got up early the next day and practiced martial arts in the courtyard for nearly two hours, feeling a little hungry in his stomach, and suddenly wanted to eat the dishes of Hongbin Building. So he called Ju Yuanguang and took Yanqin Liuyue, who was dressed as a man, to Hongbin Building together.

The business of this Hongbin Building has always been very good, and today is no exception, when Ju Yuanguang, who walked in front, was squeezed when he went up the second floor, and almost fell down the stairs.

Sitting in a secluded private room, Yanqin and Liu Yue were busy checking whether the surrounding environment was safe, while Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang began to chat about yesterday's banquet.

"I heard that the eldest brother was called by his father to scold him yesterday, I hope he can change, otherwise, such a person becomes the emperor, which is my misfortune." Yang Yun said with deep feelings.

"Alas! You big brother, I don't think it's possible to make him a Ming Jun. Ju Yuanguang shook his head, and there was some helplessness in his tone.

"As the prince of Dafu, I can't watch my Dafu's foundation ruined on the head of the faint monarch. Since we can't help him, we will assist Xianming and pull him down from the throne of the crown prince! Yang Yun thought for a moment, and his tone became firm.

After a pause, Yang Yun said again: "It's just that in this way, we will live on the tip of the knife, and if we don't pay attention to it, we will be in a different place!" ”

Hearing Yang Yun say this, Ju Yuanguang smiled instead: "Your Highness, you are not afraid of being a prince, what am I afraid of as a poor scholar?" Maybe if I'm not careful, I'll be famous. ”

"Haha, then we have to plan carefully, you have seen those brothers of mine yesterday, which one do you think is a famous king? Boss, second, third, fifth, or ninth? Or is it some other prince? ”

"Of course your eldest brother can be ruled out, now it seems that the two people of Xiangwang and Shengwang are more suitable assistants, they both have some talents, and they also have strong support behind them. But there are also some shortcomings, the king of Xiang has too deep a city, and it is possible to unload the mill and kill the donkey after the matter is completed. And King Sheng's name is too high-profile, and he is easy to become the target of everyone's attacks. Ju Yuanguang seemed to have thought about this problem and said without hesitation.

"Then let's take another look and wait for the situation to become clearer before making a decision! What should we do now? Yang Yun asked again.

"This time, someone assassinated His Highness, and it also gave us an opportunity, we can now recruit some talents in the name of protecting His Highness's safety, I believe that if it is not excessive, Your Majesty will also turn a blind eye. In addition, you can ask Your Majesty for errands to do after the New Year, even if you don't give it to you, you can still let Your Majesty see that you are self-motivated! ”

The two of them chatted while eating, and they ate for more than an hour. Seeing that he had almost eaten, Ju Yuanguang was about to go to the checkout, but when he touched the money bag, he was dumbfounded, because his pocket was empty, and the money bag disappeared at some point.

"Oh, it must have been the boy who hit me when I went upstairs just now and stole the money bag, I said? The stairs were so wide that he was able to crash into me. Ju Yuanguang recalled for a moment, and suddenly reacted.

Yang Yun heard Ju Yuanguang say this, and laughed: "There are our resourceful and huge talents, as well as the two masters of the Flying Eagle Hall, who actually let the thief steal the money bag, you guys are embarrassed!" ”

At this moment, the four of them were dumbfounded, there was someone to serve them at any time, and Yang Yun rarely carried a money bag. And Yan Qin and Liu Yue saw that there was a big housekeeper with Ju Yuanguang, and they didn't bring silver taels.

Seeing that there was no silver on the four of them, the shopkeeper immediately turned his face and yelled and didn't let go. Immediately attracted the attention of all the diners, and they all focused their eyes on the four people who had already walked to the hall on the first floor.

Yang Yun didn't want to reveal his identity, but fortunately, there were many guards outside here who were secretly following, and someone would come to settle the bill soon. So he wasn't in a hurry, he just stood there, watching the various diners in the hall.

"Look, is this money bag yours?" A voice suddenly sounded, and several people turned to look. I saw that it was a ragged young man who was holding a money bag in his hand.

"It's you!" Yang Yun saw that this young man was the same young man who was almost beaten to death by the family of the Auxiliary General's Mansion for stealing that day. On that day, the young man would rather be beaten than confess the whereabouts of his companions, which left a deep impression on Yang Yun.

"The boy Zheng Xiaoqi has seen Engong, it is my companion who is not long-sighted, took Engong's money bag, and hopes that Engong will let them go." The young man said as he handed the money bag in his hand to Yang Yun. "Look, what's missing in this bag?"

Yang Yun took the money bag and handed it to Ju Yuanguang. Then he smiled and said to Zheng Xiaoqi: "It seems that we are really fateful, let's sit together, can you?" ”

"Engong, is thisβ€”is this appropriate?" Zheng Xiaoqi looked at Yang Yun in a gorgeous costume, and then at himself in rags.

"Hehe, it's okay, I only make friends based on whether my personality is the same, never caring about my status, whether I am poor or rich." Yang Yun smiled, if you don't mind getting to know me as a friend, just follow me upstairs!

So, a few people went back to the private room upstairs just now and asked Xiao Er to come up again for wine and food. Zheng Xiaoqi was very restrained at first, and he didn't even know how to put his hands and feet. But driven by the enthusiasm of Yang Yun and Ju Yuanguang, they finally let go and talked to the two.

It turned out that Zheng Xiaoqi's family was originally a farmer, and although the family was not rich, it could also fill its stomach. But I never thought that when I was eight years old, my hometown was hit by a catastrophic flood. His parents drowned in order to save him and his sister, while he and his sister were scattered. After the flood receded, he buried his parents with the help of his neighbors and came to Xijing alone.

In Xijing, he didn't have any support, and got acquainted with two teenagers who were in a similar situation to himself, and lived a life of having a meal without a meal by begging and petty theft in this Xijing City.

Finally, at the invitation of Yang Yun, Zheng Xiaoqi called his two friends over. Yang Yun saw that it was the two teenagers who were with Zheng Xiaoqi that day.

"This is what I told you about Engong, if it wasn't for Engong that day, I would have been killed!" Zheng Xiaoqi introduced the two, and the two hurriedly saluted Yang Yun and thanked Dao Yang Yun for saving his brother's life.

The other two teenagers, one is named Hou Shao, nicknamed Monkey. A native of Xijing, his mother died early, and his father was addicted to gambling, so he didn't have time to take care of him, and he didn't want to go home. The other is a native of Xiejiazhuang outside Xijingcheng, who has no father and mother since he was a child, and grew up eating hundreds of leftovers in Xiejiazhuang, and he is called Xie Yu in the village.

Yang Yun saw that these three teenagers, although their families were poor, they were all relatively smart and clever. Judging from that day, this Zheng Xiaoqi is still a very righteous person, and his two friends are not far behind! So I started to solicit.

"I asked you to come today to give you a choice, and if you want to live your present life, I will turn around and leave. If you want to change your life, follow me, keep your food and clothing worry-free, and if possible, you can also make meritorious contributions and worship the prime minister. But it is also possible to die in the wilderness and become the food of jackals and wild dogs. Yang Yun looked at the three of them and said solemnly.

As soon as Yang Yun said this, the three of you, you look at me, and I look at you, but it didn't take long for them to show a determined look on their faces. In the end, Hou Shao and Xie Yu focused their eyes on Zheng Xiaoqi, obviously he was the backbone of the three.

Zheng Xiaoqi stood up suddenly, and said: "Engong, Xiao Qi knows that you are a person who does big things, when he was a child, Xiao Qi also read some books, and knew that as a seven-foot man, it is better to die vigorously than to be born in a nest!" Therefore, the three of my brothers, these three lives will be handed over to Engong. ”

Seeing the three of them like this, Yang Yun smiled happily, reached out and took the money bag from Ju Yuanguang, took out the silver taels for the checkout, and then handed the money bag to Zheng Xiaoqi: "Good brother, take it, buy some decent clothes, and come to me tomorrow at the Thirteen Princes' Mansion on Yunxi Street." ”
