Chapter 167: Behind Enemy Lines

The news that there was a woman he had brought back from the Great Yan Kingdom in that courtyard had spread throughout the Shizi Mansion. When the other concubines talked to her about this matter, they were all jealous and angry, and at first, she still laughed it off, and the clouds were light.

But today, when she watched him from a distance, and ran out of the desert from the courtyard where he never let people approach, Kim Minxi began to have a huge sense of crisis in her heart. Especially his evasion, which made her feel jealous like never before.

The only inn in Huyang Town, Mexico, has recently had a few strange guests.

The leader was a handsome, thin young man, surrounded by a middle-aged bodyguard with a full beard and a loud voice, who was rough like a butcher, and the other was a young steward with a sallow complexion and a tuberculosis ghost, but with a slender and sturdy body, and a taciturn and polite manners. Along the way, there was also a maid who was beautiful but had a rude demeanor like a man.

After the four of them walked into the inn, they first asked for two rooms, and bought a few sets of the most ordinary and inconspicuous clothes in Mexico. After the change, the four of them gathered at a table in the far corner of the lobby, ordered a few small dishes, a few catties of good wine, and talked while eating.

The handsome maid sat down with her skirt and legs, and her hands were lifting her clothes on her chest from time to time: "My mother, why do you have to tie a knot on this chest for this good dress?" It's so uncomfortable. With a stretch of his hand, he untied the placket of his chest, and his outer garment opened open with his movements, revealing Gary inside.

At the table opposite "poof...... a man who had been peeking at the beautiful "her" was shocked by "her" such a bold behavior, and the clothes on the back of the person at the table next to him were all soaked.

"Huh...... You bitch, what's going on! The people at the next table began to curse the street.

"Ah, I said who are you scolding a bitch?" The man who sprayed wine was also a violent temper and scolded back without showing weakness. Soon, the scolding turned into a fight, and for a while, the tables and chopsticks next door took off, and the tables and chairs collided.

The three men sitting at the same table with the little maid looked at "her" angrily. Seeing that she was in trouble, the little maid quietly lowered her head, put her legs together, tied the strap of her blouse again, ate obediently, and stopped talking.

These four people are Fu Lingyun, Xu Yong, Song Xiuzhu, and Lian Feng, who are disguised as stewards, bodyguards, scholars and maids, and Lian Feng, who is disguised as a man.

"Master, Ye Yan's kid said that it should be this shop that found the young lady's mark. After eating for a while, Lian Feng, you take the portrait of the young lady, and then go to Xiao Er to inquire about the whereabouts of the young lady, and then confirm it. ”

"Hmm." Lian Feng, who lowered his head and only cared about eating, let out a dissatisfied hum from the rice bowl.

Xu Yong picked it up and slapped it on the top of his head, almost slapping his face into the bowl: "Talking to you!" Just know how to eat! ”

"You didn't tell me to shut up!" It's angry when you think about it, the four of them came out together, why did you call him to pretend to be a woman! Obviously, Dr. Song is even thinner than him, why don't you ask him to pretend to be a woman? (For the reason, please refer to the scene of the meeting at the camp in Antang.) )

Song Xiuzhu couldn't help but cover his mouth and snicker, but Lian Feng threw a roll of his eyes: "What are you laughing at!" It looks like your teeth are white! He poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks.

"Quick, go in and search!" Outside the inn, a group of officers and soldiers from the Mexican Kingdom suddenly forcibly broke in, and Xiao Er hurriedly went up to greet him: "Official, what are you doing today?" If you're not busy, sit down and have a drink or two? A small treat? ”

"Go, go, go, go today, on official business today, how can you have spare time to drink, you kid get out of the way, otherwise you will be punished for the crime of obstructing official business, drinking? Looking for death? ”

The leading official was in his fifties, shriveled and thin, with a wrinkled face, and he seemed to have a bit of friendship with the shopkeeper, and sat down with a smile, commanding his subordinates to hold a few portraits, and comparing and checking the guests table by table.

Xiao Er hunched his waist and asked with a bitter face: "Uncle, what is the matter with the inventory shop today?" ”

The official frowned: "I heard that there are a few fine works lurking into our Damo from the Yan Country, and there are ...... on it," he said, pointing his finger at his head, "Now I have a headache, doesn't this make us search everywhere with portraits." ”

Hearing the word fine work, Xiao Er was very nervous: "What, there is a fine work mixed with big ink, how can this be done." "The people of Mexico are very united, and as soon as they hear that there are fine works mixed into their own country, they immediately share the same hatred with the officials.

The official also slapped his thigh: "Ah Yo Gu, isn't it, it's really nerve-wracking!" By the way, I'll leave you a few portraits, you kid can pay more attention to me in the future, and remember to notify me as soon as there is any news. ”

"That's, that's." After taking the portrait, Xiao Er opened it and took a look. The portrait depicts four "extraordinary-looking" men, and except for one who is older in the grade, the other three are young men in their prime.

Fu Lingyun and the four of them ate quietly, quietly observing the movements of the officials.

"Where did you come from, lift your heads up!" The two officials came to their table with the portraits, they put down their chopsticks, and while raising their heads for the officials to compare, they secretly held the daggers they carried with them under the table.

Fortunately, there is no danger, the level of portraits of the Mo Kingdom seems to be too good, and the four of them are too "handsome", but there is a big difference between them and the real them.

Song Xiuzhu looked at himself who was almost depicted as a charming and moving woman in the portrait, and couldn't wait to tear it apart and swallow it alive. Lian Feng and Fu Lingyun also had big ears on their heads above the portrait, Kong Wu was powerful and couldn't cry or laugh, and Xu Yong was painted as a fat old man with obscene eyes and a greasy face.

Tsk tsk, where did you find this painter, you should really reward him. The four of them thought with a smile.

"Report, there's no portrait here." The soldier reported to the officer.

"Let's search somewhere else, let's go!" The official waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers in the inn left like a low tide.

The four of them breathed a sigh of relief, with that kind of painting skills, it seemed that they should be safe and sound all the way to Shengjing.

It's really a blessing to the painter......

The rest of the way, naturally, there was no danger, and the four of them rushed to Shengjing in the fastest time. The prosperity of Shengjing was not the same as that of the imperial capital, and they soon inquired about the location of the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

It's just that to their surprise, Chu Qingruo had escaped from the Shizi Mansion more than a month ago, and now her whereabouts are unknown, and even the Ninth Shizi Baili Sheng is looking for her all over the world!

What's going on here?

It turned out that since Bai Lisheng was in Chu Qingruo's courtyard that day, he accidentally bumped into her who was taking a bath and fled, and was looked at by his concubine Jin Minxi.

Jin Minxi, as one of Bai Lisheng's most favored concubines, naturally couldn't tolerate her man pretending to have other women in his heart, and she was jealous, so she secretly instigated the young princess, and united a group of concubines to wait for an opportunity to get rid of Chu Qingruo, a thorn in the side.

Finally, one day, they caught this opportunity!

On that day, as soon as the heavy snow stopped, a silver-white scenery between heaven and earth made Chu Qing, who was homesick, feel emotional, and was depressed all day long, and closed his door. In order to make her happy, the loyal Yin Xiu specially made two bamboo sleds, pulled her, and came to the lake in Shizifu.

There was already a thick layer of ice on the lake, and Yin Xiu let her put on a bamboo sleigh and took her hand to paddle quickly on the lake.

Perhaps it was this novelty that made Chu Qingruo forget his troubles for a while, and laughed and played with Yin Xiu wantonly in the stumbles.

The laughter of the two came from the surface of the lake all the way, attracting Kim Min-hee's attention. Her eyes rolled, she raised her hand to summon her internal affairs, whispered a few words softly in his ear, and left in a hurry with a clear face about the internal affairs, leaving only Jin Minxi, who was waiting to see a good show, from a distance, looking meaningfully at Chu Qingruo and Yin Xiu in the center of the lake.

Soon, a young concubine with a slightly bulging belly who was not of high status, but proudly stood up, and walked cautiously with the support of internal affairs. "Xi Concubine Niangniang, how are you today?"

"Oh? It's Concubine Li, Ah Yogu, your belly is really big, you must be a fat boy! Suppressing the jealousy in his heart, Jin Minxi praised against his will.

She was the first to serve His Royal Highness, but her belly has not moved for so many years, seeing that a younger concubine was married into the door one after another, and a few of them were pregnant in their stomachs not long after entering the mansion, but her stomach still did not move.

Don't think she doesn't know, what are these women calling her behind their backs? They all called her "the old hen that couldn't lay eggs". Such a nickname pierced Kim Min-hee's heart like a thorn, making her feel pain.

Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has been gone for many years, and he has not had time to remember the appearance of the concubines who are pregnant with the child, and he has not waited for the child to be born, so he went to Dayan.

And the hostess of the entire Shizi Mansion, the princess Niangniang, was still a brainless little girl who was only eight or nine years old at the time, and where was her opponent. For so many years, she has been coaxed and deceived into pinching it in the palm of her hand.

So, with only one hand all day long, she quietly used the hand of the young princess to quietly send away those concubines who were pregnant with children.

Now that His Royal Highness has only been back for more than half a year, this young concubine is four months pregnant, how can she not be secretly hated in her heart.

I just happened to meet that pariah from a foreign country today, this is a good show of killing two birds with one stone, but in this winter, the most interesting thing.
