Chapter 31 Chronicles of the Wu Mansion

"Wu Yingxiong dog thief, suffer death!" Shi Jianmei took out a kitchen knife from her sleeve and slashed it at Wu Yuanming's head......

In order to split this knife, Shi Jianmei, who had already lost her body, had been waiting for four days at Wu Yingxiong's house, but in these four days, Wu Yuanming had been guarding and avoiding Shi Jianmei, until the moment when Wu Yuanming, who was drunk at Suo Etu's house, returned home, Shi Jianmei, who followed the servants to greet him, could seize the opportunity to make a move. As long as this knife is successful, Shi Jianmei, who is desperate, can leave the world without any worries and go to see her starving parents and her father-in-law Shi Longbiao, who died tragically under Wu Yuanming's tricks.

"Ah——!h Seeing that the kitchen knife in Shi Jianmei's hand was cut down, Wu Yuanming did not dodge or dodge, but slapped his mouth and yawned, and Huangfu Baozhu, who was closely following Wu Yuanming, flew out and grabbed the blade of the kitchen knife with a palm, and with just a pinch, the kitchen knife was twisted into a ball of iron. Shi Jianmei was stunned, and exclaimed: "Golden bell cover iron cloth shirt!" ”

"That's right." Wu Yuanming yawned and introduced: "Jianmei, let me introduce you, this Huangfu Baozhu General is the captain of my father's personal guard, and he is invincible in the world in martial arts, if you want to assassinate me again in the future, it will not be so easy." Wu Yuanming turned to the suspicious Huangfu Baozhu and introduced: "General Huangfu, this is Shi Jianmei Shi girl, she became my woman because of some mistakes, but she herself is unwilling to be my concubine, and she wants to assassinate me anytime and anywhere, don't blame her." ”

"Shizi, then why don't you kill her?" Even in doubt, Huangfu Baozhu's voice was like a tiger, "Since she is bent on killing you, isn't keeping her by her side tantamount to raising a tiger?" Even if you don't want to kill someone because of the love of the night, at least you have to expel her from the house, lest she seize the opportunity and hurt you. ”

"Forget it, her family has been harmed by the enclosure, her parents have starved to death, and her cousin Wei Dongting, who came to the capital to defect, has abandoned her again, and now she is unaccompanied, what can she do if I drive her out again?" Wu Yuanming said casually, and took Huangfu Baozhu's hand again, "General Huangfu, don't pay attention to her, follow me to the study and tell me about the current situation in Yunnan, is my father's health okay?" How are my brothers, how are they doing? Mr. Liu Xuanchu and Mr. Wang Shirong ....... ”

Wu Yuanming and Huangfu Baozhu said while walking quickly into the backyard, leaving Shi Jianmei in a daze at the gate, wondering why Wu Yuanming knew about the miserable experience of her parents starving to death, and doubting Wu Yuanming's words just now, thinking about it, Shi Jianmei still gritted her teeth and returned to the room arranged for her by Wu Yuanming, and continued to wait for the opportunity to assassinate Wu Yuanming.

Let's not talk about Shi Jianmei's racking of her brains in the room to figure out how to assassinate Wu Yuanming, just say that Wu Yuanming and Huangfu Baozhu returned to the study side by side to talk secretly, and after talking with Huangfu Baozhu, Wu Yuanming understood why Huangfu Baozhu was able to rush to the Shuntianfu Prison in time to rescue him. It turned out that Wu Sangui did have a secret intelligence network in Beijing, but Wu Yingxiong had been too cowardly and incompetent before, and Wu Sangui did not dare to let this intelligence network come into contact with Wu Yingxiong, lest the Qing court find out and catch it all.

But after Wu Yuanming's consciousness returned to the body of Wu Yingxiong in his previous life, he did all the things that beat the princess, joined forces with Aobai, and defeated Kangxi's henchmen's team, etc., Wu Sangui's detectives found out clearly, and used a fast horse to send the information to Wu Sangui's team to Beijing to ask for salary, and it happened that the representative of Wu Sangui sent to Beijing to urge salary this time was his henchman Liu Xuanchu - that is, the tuberculosis ghost mentioned above. As the deputy military advisor of Wu Sangui's army, Liu Xuanchu expected that after Wu Sangui's extortion of military salaries entered Beijing, Kangxi would definitely take the opportunity to send someone to assassinate Wu Yuanming, who was suddenly exposed, and hurriedly sent Huangfu Baozhu into Beijing to protect Wu Yuanming, and Huangfu Baozhu rescued Wu Yuanming's life under the knife of Li Yuliang and the donkey (Liu Xuanchu and Huangfu Baozhu were really evil).

"Master Liu, I really don't know how to thank you." After listening to Huangfu Baozhu's introduction to the situation, Wu Yuanming broke out in a cold sweat, and said in his heart that he had overestimated Aobai's ability to protect him, if it wasn't for Liu Xuanchu's prediction, he would only be reimbursed for the second time in a few days. Thinking of this, Wu Yuanming couldn't help but say with a handful of snot and tears: "General Huangfu, as long as I, Wu...... Wu Yingxiong still has a breath of air, and I will never forget the great kindness of you and Liu Junshi to me. ”

"The prince is too polite, this is what the last general should do." Huangfu Baozhu's face was as if it was made of gold and iron, and he replied calmly. But Wu Yuanming still thanked him repeatedly in a fake way, and asked: "General Huangfu, since Liu Junshi has passed Dingzhou, when will he be able to arrive in the capital?" Without your protection, can Liu Junshi be safe on the road? ”

"It is estimated that it will arrive on the twelfth day of the first lunar month." Huangfu Baozhu replied: "As for the safety of the military division, the prince does not have to worry, the prince has paid one hundred and fifty carts of various tributes this time, and sent 1,200 elite soldiers to protect it. ”

"That's good, that's good." Wu Yuanming breathed a sigh of relief, Liu Xuanchu is the most strategic henchman under his father, if he encounters danger, the loss will be irreparable, and Wu Yuanming, who does not learn and has no skills, still understands the truth. Wu Yuanming wanted to ask his father again how much military salary he planned to extort from the imperial court this time, but considering that Huangfu Baozhu was only a military general, it was impossible to know these things, so there was no nonsense. After asking a few more questions about the situation in Yunnan, Wu Yuanming, who didn't close his eyes last night, finally couldn't resist his tiredness and fell asleep with the emperor's father.

…… One of your light clicks warmed my whole codeword life. Let's watch the History and Military Channel of Literature Network, more exciting content is waiting for you! ……

The rooster crowed three times, and Wu Yuanming, who had slept soundly all night, finally woke up, but the Huangfu Baozhu, who slept in the same bed with Wu Yuanming last night, disappeared, and when he listened carefully, he heard the answer between the Huangfu Baozhu and the three brothers of the Wu family in the courtyard. Wu Yuanming got up and pushed the door to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that the three brothers of the Wu family were pleading around the Huangfu Baozhu in the courtyard, "General Huangfu, you can teach us a little martial arts." Sooner or later, you will have to go back to Yunnan, and if you leave, there will be no one else to protect the prince except for our three brothers. ”

"It's not that I'm hiding my secrets and don't want to teach you." Huangfu Baozhu sighed: "Wu Lu, you are already twenty-six years old, Wu Shou is also twenty-three years old, the muscles and bones of the two of you have been set, and now you can only practice martial arts to increase endurance at most, and you can no longer practice explosive power and subtle tricks." ”

"What about me, I'm only eighteen years old, can I still practice?" Wu Xi asked anxiously. Huangfu Baozhu grabbed his arms and pulled them left and right, shook his head and said, "It's a pity that your bones are precocious, and you have also passed the best age for martial arts." If I'm not mistaken, you had a dislocated right arm when you were twelve years old, and you couldn't practice superior martial arts because you didn't heal it in time. ”

"When I was twelve?" As soon as Wu Xiluo recalled, he immediately said in frustration: "Yes, when I was twelve years old, because I knocked over a flower pot in the princess's courtyard, the princess asked Huang Er to hang me up and beat me, Huang Er's dog mongrel was poisonous, if it wasn't for my father kowtowing to him and begging for mercy, I'm afraid I would have been beaten to death by him." But I was still stripped of my right hand, and I was locked up in a firewood room and starved for three days, delaying my treatment. ”

After learning that they could not practice martial arts, the three brothers of the Wu family were extremely depressed, Wu Yuanming secretly admired the loyalty of the three brothers, laughed and stood up to comfort them: "Hahahaha, Wu Lu, Wu Shou, Wu Xi, don't worry, who said that the eldest husband can't do a career without martial arts?" I'm twenty-eight years old in this world, it's not that I can't do martial arts at all, when have I been sad in this world? ”

"I've seen the son." Huangfu Baozhu and the three brothers of the Wu family saw Wu Yuanming coming out of the study with his clothes on, and hurriedly bowed to Wu Yuanming. Wu Yuanming smiled and waved his hand, went over to take Wu Xi's hand, patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid of martial arts, Chen Qingzhi, a famous general of the Southern Dynasty, led seven thousand white-robed troops to the north to the Central Plains, and within three months, he connected thirty-two cities, broke the 300,000 Northern Wei army with seven thousand men and horses, and fought forty-seven battles of all sizes, without a single defeat!" But he can't ride a horse himself, and he can't even shoot a straw man with an arrow! Isn't such a person a manly man? ”

"7,000 people break 300,000 troops?!" Because they haven't read many books, the three brothers of the Wu family and Huangfu Baozhu have never heard of Chen Qingzhi's story, and they all think that this is too incredible. When Wu Yuanming arrogantly recounted Chen Qingzhi's terrifying achievements, Huangfu Baozhu and the three brothers of the Wu family only felt that their blood was boiling, and the three brothers of the Wu family even left the depression just now, and said that they would learn more about the method of leading the troops and arranging the formation, and make contributions to the Wu family on the battlefield in the future. And Wu Yuanming, who just wanted to comfort the three brothers, didn't expect that among the three brothers, there was really a general who surprised him a lot, and created another miracle in a desperate situation. This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

"Shizi, last time you said let us practice the use of muskets, and when the old prince's team arrives, our three brothers will definitely borrow muskets to practice." With the goal of studying, Wu Xiji was excited, and immediately said that he would learn how to operate firearms according to Wu Yuanming's instructions. Wu Yuanming smiled and was about to agree, but Huangfu Baozhu suddenly said: "It is not difficult for you to practice firearms, and you don't have to wait for the military advisors to come and learn again, the prince can get firearms in Beijing." ”

"Can I get a firearm in Beijing?" Wu Yuanming's eyes lit up, and he asked Huangfu Baozhu in a low voice: "Could it be that my father has these things in his visit to Beijing City?" ”

"The prince expected it to be good." Huangfu Baozhu nodded, and said in a low voice: "When the last general and the military division were separated, the military advisor once told the last general to inform the prince that if necessary, he could contact the people of the prince in the capital to understand the situation, because they had a lot of information in Beijing, and it might be helpful for the prince's actions." ”

"Okay, let's go find them." Wu Yuanming was overjoyed, and said in his heart that he finally didn't have to rely on historical memory to deceive him in the capital, but Wu Yuanming thought about it for a while, shook his head and said: "No, I can't go, I'm too sharp these days, and when I go out, I will definitely be stared at by spies from all sides, and it will only expose the identity of my father." ”

"What then?" Wu Xi's rising enthusiasm was poured with cold water on his head, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet. Wu Yuanming sneered: "Don't panic, someone is watching me when I go out, and it shouldn't be a big problem for your father and son to go out." ”

After asking the contact information of Ming and Wu Sangui, Wu Yuanming called the old and serious Wu Fu and the shrewd and capable Wu Shou to the front, and after the ear was called, Wu Yuanming sent the two out in the name of buying dishes, and they went to contact his father Wu Sangui's detective. Sure enough, as Wu Yuanming imagined, after sending the two of them, Wu Yuanming just casually went to the gate to hang around, and seven or eight sneaky figures appeared on both sides of Shihu Hutong, and there were also a few servants and maids in Wu Yingxiong's mansion who were paying attention to Wu Yuanming.

"Damn, keep an eye on me!" Wu Yuanming scolded secretly, and said in his heart that this time he was in trouble, and he also wanted to visit Shang Zhili and Geng Xinghe, who were also hostages, and strive for them to support him at the court meeting to get more military salaries from Kangxi, so that he could not only show up in front of his father, but also intercept some more, so as to facilitate future actions. But with these people staring, they are afraid that if they fart while talking to Shang and Geng, they will be reported to Kangxi and Aobai, how can they contact them?

"Shizi, Shizi." Wu Yuanming was worried, Wu Lu suddenly touched Wu Yuanming, and said in a low voice: "Shizi, look, the child who carried the basket of duck pears over there seems to be the little eunuch who was helped by you in Dashilar that day. Wu Yuanming looked at it and found that a child carrying a basket of Yali pears slowly walked in the alley, although his face was smeared with mud, but he could look at his eyebrows, eyes and figure, who was the little eunuch Xiao Maozi who was extremely filial to his mother? And when Xiao Maozi saw Wu Yuanming seeing him, he was also desperately squeezing his eyes, as if he had something to say.

"Call him in." Wu Yuanming knew that there must be something strange, so he immediately commanded in a low voice. The shrewd Wu Lu waited until Xiao Maozi walked through the door for more than ten steps before stopping him, "Child, bring your Yali pear in and have a look, how to sell it?" ”

"Ten pennies a pound, the pears are big and sweet, can you ask for some?" Xiao Maozi is also a shrewd little monkey, pretending to be a hawker's tone, looking left and right from the corner of his eyes, he rushed into the Wu family's compound, and said loudly: "Master, my basket of pears is more than seven catties, if you want them all, I will count the money according to seven catties." As he spoke, Xiao Maozi bowed slightly, and quickly whispered: "Forgive me, the servant saw that there were people staring at both sides of your alley, so he had to come in disguised like this." ”

"What are you looking for me urgently?" Wu Yuanming turned his back and pretended to admire the plum blossoms in the courtyard. Xiao Maozi bargained loudly with Wu Lu and said in a low voice: "Master, the slave was on duty in Cining Palace last night, and I overheard some ...... about my master. At the end, Xiao Maozi said in a low voice: "Lord Shizi, the slave has received your great favor, and when you hear these words, you can't help but inform the Lord Shizi, and the slave has to leave, so as not to be suspected by people outside." ”

"Very well, I have received your wishes. Wu Lu, you buy Yali and get three hundred taels of silver tickets for Xiao Maozi's father-in-law. Wu Yuanming tried to calm his tone, gave a low command, and turned his head to leave without waiting for Xiao Maozi to thank him. Wu Yuanming's appearance seems to be calm, but his heart is already turbulent - Kangxi and Ao Bai have joined forces and are ready to deal with their own Wu family, this is not ordinary news!

"No, I must find a way to separate the relationship between Kangxi and Aobai! Otherwise, not only will I not be able to get military pay this time, but I am afraid that my father will also be forced to disarm! Wu Yuanming pondered in his heart as he walked towards the study. Suddenly, the window next to the corridor slammed, and a bright sword stabbed out, and Wu Yuanming sighed: "Here we go again." ”

"Smack!" The sword was broken in two, "Shizi, you must drive this woman out, otherwise your life will be in danger at any time!" ”

"Wu Yingxiong dog thief, my aunt must kill you!"
