Chapter 18: Hot Potato
PS: The reason for today's late update, power outage. I can only update one chapter today and the reason for the small number of words, I haven't been shopping with my future wife for more than a month...... οΌ
"Virtuous nephew, virtuous nephew, my good virtuous nephew, your uncle has come to see you." Ao Bai smiled happily, his bear-like body ran faster than a galloping horse, his movements were lighter than that of a flower magpie, and his cheerful and unrestrained appearance almost made people think that his most feared tigress wife had died of a sudden illness last night. And Aobai's brother Mulima and his henchmen Bambulshan, Sebunde, Tabitu, Asha, Ge Rangha, and Ji Shi all had a smile on their faces, and the smile was as cordial and joyful as the smile of the bridegroom to the beautiful bride before he was about to enter the cave.
"Uncle, watch out for the ground." Wu Yuanming is indeed very filial to his nephew, because of the fierce fight last night, the land in the back garden has been covered with corpse stumps and broken knives and broken swords, Wu Yuanming is really afraid that this bad old man will fall heavily on his own. But Wu Yuanming soon found that his worries were completely unnecessary, Aobai's title of the first Baturu of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was indeed not blown out, the bear-like body was like a heavy tank, corpses, swords and dirt were splashed everywhere he went, and before Wu Yuanming could say anything else, Aobai had already rewarded him with a heavy bear hug.
"Virtuous nephew, good virtuous nephew of the old man, I already know about you, well done! It's so beautiful! Ao Bai hugged Wu Yuanming tightly and laughed and howled, and said to Wu Yuanming in a low voice: "Since the old thing from Sony hung up, the old man's people have never won such a beautiful battle, and these wastes have all been played around by the people of the junior, that is, the virtuous nephew, you have fought for the old man." Your plan is really amazing, tell my uncle, how many juniors did you kill last night? β
"Uncle, I'm about to be strangled to death by you." Wu Yuanming shouted in pain, and it was not until this moment that Ao Bai found that Wu Yuanming's small body had been strangled by himself and his bones clicked, and Ao Bai quickly let go of Wu Yuanming and laughed: "Don't blame the virtuous nephew, my uncle is so happy." "It was not until this moment that Ao Bai could be regarded as fully trusting Wu Yuanming, if Wu Yuanming's sudden surrender during the day yesterday, Ao Bai still had doubts about Wu Yuanming's sincerity. After last night's battle, all of Aobai's suspicions about Wu Yuanming disappeared - after all, Wu Yuanming killed so many of Kangxi's henchmen, and it was impossible to betray Aobai. Therefore, Ao Bai has made up his mind and is ready to use Wu Yuanming as a confidant and think tank.
"Ying Xiongxian's nephew, hug one with his uncle." As soon as Ao Bai let go of Wu Yuanming, his younger brother Mulima pounced on Wu Yuanming again, but fortunately, Mulima's strength was too far from his eldest brother, so Wu Yuanming didn't suffer anymore, but kept being polite with Mulima.
At this time, Nemo, Kunyou and Jun'er, who participated in the battle last night, had already come over, and Nemo happily reported to Ao: "Report to my father-in-law, last night Tie Luohan Shi Longbiao was killed by us, Hu Gongshan, Wei Dongting, Qiang Donkey, Hao Laosi and others were seriously injured and fled, and none of the twenty good fighters brought by Wei Dongting did not run, and they were all divided by us. In addition, the forward battalion led by Wu He, who came to assist Wei Dongting, was also slaughtered by us more than 50 people. β
"Well done, well done." Ao Bai couldn't close his mouth with a smile, the forward battalion and the Shanpu battalion were both henchmen guards directly controlled by Kangxi, although this battle failed to wipe them out, but it also hit their vitality hard. However, Ao Bai felt a little dissatisfied after thinking about it, and yelled at Ne Mo and the others: "Waste, a bunch of waste!" The prince has already set such an exquisite trap, and you even let Hu Gongshan and Wei Dongting escape, what a bunch of fools! β
"Uncle, don't blame Lord Nemo." Wu Yuanming saw that Nemo was scolded submissively, so he hurriedly came out to play a round to do favors, "It's not that Lord Nemo doesn't do their best, but that Hu Gongshan and his junior sister's martial arts are too high, and there is a forward battalion outside to respond, and later the army of the Admiral of Jiumen also came, and Lord Nemo They thought about the overall situation, so they missed this opportunity." β
It turned out that last night, as soon as Li Yuliang chased and killed the donkey and Hao Laosi left Wufu, he met his senior brother Hu Gongshan in the forward battalion team of Shihu Hutong. Then Wu Liuyi, the commander of the Nine Gates, led the army to arrive in the name of maintaining law and order in the capital, and Hu Gongshan and Wei Dongting, who were all seriously injured, escaped with their lives. But the worst thing is Li Yuliang, who is not injured, if Hu Gongshan hadn't stopped him, Li Yuliang, who was so angry that his eyes were bleeding, would definitely come back to Wu Yuanming to settle accounts, and then apologize to himself.
"Hu Gongshan's junior sister?" Ao Bai didn't know about Li Yuliang's existence, and Wu Yuanming said it well. When Wu Yuanming added fuel and vinegar to the story of his encounter with Li Yuliang, including the matter of deceiving Li Yuliang to untie his clothes, Ao Bai and Mu Lima, Nemo, and other Ao Bai henchmen burst into crazy laughter, and even Bamburshan, who was jealous of Wu Yuanming's great achievements, couldn't help laughing, and offered a poisonous plan: "Shizi, the villain thinks that this matter can be hyped up, then Li Yuliang takes off his pants in front of you, as long as everyone in the rivers and lakes knows, then Li Yuliang still has the face to live in the world, including her senior brother Hu Gongshan." , and has no face to gain a foothold in the rivers and lakes. β
"Forget it, anyway, that little girl can be regarded as saving me once, it's better to keep this matter secret for her, this world is not the kind of ruthless and unrighteous person." Wu Yuanming saw at a glance the evil intentions contained in Bambul's plan, and it was easy to force Li Yuliang into a corner, but it was not easy for Li Yuliang's classmates to settle accounts with him. So Wu Yuanming immediately diverted the topic, "Uncle, since the plan to lure the enemy has been successful, that Shi Jianmei should ask her uncle to bring her back, it is convenient to kill or chop." β
"Shi Jianmei doesn't have to take it back, just give it to the virtuous nephew." Ao Bai waved his hand and refused, not that Ao Bai saw through Wu Yuanming's intention to rush Shi Jianmei's hot potato, but that the tigress in Aobai's family was really powerful, and he couldn't afford to launch Wei Ao Bai, and Ao Bai also wanted to envelop Wu Yuanming, so he generously rewarded Wu Yuanming with the great beauty Shi Jianmei. Without waiting for Wu Yuanming to refuse, Ao Bai said again: "Also, Kunyou and Jun'er, who participated in the arrest of the thieves last night, will be rewarded with three hundred taels of silver each, and the three hundred soldiers under them will be rewarded with ten taels of silver each. From now on, they will stay here to protect the virtuous nephew, and let the virtuous nephew dispatch him. β
"Uncle, you better take that Shi Jianmei back." Wu Yuanming knew that leaving Shi Jianmei in his house was tantamount to directing the hateful gaze of Wei Dongting and others to himself, so Wu Yuanming said that he didn't want to leave this scourge behind. But Ban Bushan, who was very jealous of Wu Yuanming, also saw this, and immediately suggested to Aobai: "Xiangye, since it was Na He who took the lead in provoking Na Mo last night, and Na Mo was on the emperor's mission at that time, the villain felt that Xiang Ye could use this point to play a hard game to the imperial court, and then hit Xiao San's power in the forward battalion. β
"Yes, the old man will go and prepare the recital." Ao Bai said with great joy. forced Kangxi to punish his henchmen, so that those loyal to Kangxi could see the true face of Kangxi's unkindness, this effect was exactly what Ao Bai could not ask for, so Ao Bai immediately resigned, so that Wu Yuanming lost the opportunity to throw out the hot potato. However, Aobai's younger brother Mulima took Wu Yuanming's hand and whispered when he parted: "Virtuous nephew, when you get tired of playing Shi Jianmei, don't panic and don't sell her, give her to me to play for a few days." β
"Uncle, if you like it, you can take it now." Wu Yuanming said with a sad face. Mulima, who has always been afraid of his eldest brother, pointed his finger and bowed, and said in a low voice: "No, if you take it away now, my eldest brother will have to skin me." Besides, as an uncle, how can I be embarrassed to compete with my nephew for a woman's lead? That's it, you play for three or two months and then give it to your uncle, and your uncle will be grateful. Also, the eighth day of the first lunar month is my uncle's 50th birthday, so you must come to cheer for your uncle. After speaking, Mulima hurriedly followed behind Aobai, and then Bulshan, Sebende, Taibitu and others came over to say goodbye to Wu Yuanming, but Bamburshan looked at Wu Yuanming with a vicious gaze and looked at Wu Yuanming as if he was smiling......
β¦β¦
"Damn, Shi Jianmei is really a scourge." After Ao Bai left, Wu Yuanming returned to the study in a daze with his head down, and he had a headache about how to deal with Shi Jianmei, who was forced by Ao Bai to stuff him, and it was not possible to kill or rape first and then kill, because Wu Yuanming's plan was to maintain a balance between Ao Bai and Kangxi, so that the infighting of the Qing court would continue to fight, and the contradictions would expand but not sharpen, and he did not want to completely turn his face with either party, and Shi Jianmei was the fiancΓ©e of Kangxi's number one confidant Wei Dongting, whether it was murder or rape, it would cause him to completely stand on the opposite side of Kangxi and lose his balance.
"Forced to send Shi Jianmei back to Aobai? It is estimated that neither Aobai's wife nor Bamburshan will agree. Wu Yuanming scratched his bare forehead, and his head was nervously calculating, "Give that little hoof to someone else?" Other people shouldn't be so stupid, whoever accepts it is to offend Wei Dongting, the big celebrity in front of Kangxi, and Ban Bushan's bastard will definitely slander in front of Old Man Ao, so that Ao Bai will doubt my intentions. Staying at home? No, if you don't get rid of it quickly, Wei Dongting's sworn friends will come to Lao Tzu one after another to settle accounts! β
After thinking about it, Wu Yuanming couldn't think of a way to get the best of both worlds, and couldn't help but slap the table and scolded: "Damn! It's not killing, it's not sending, it's not raping, it's not closed, what should I do? If it weren't for the fear of being suspected, Lao Tzu really wanted to let her go! β¦β¦ Put? Put? After muttering to himself for a long time, Wu Yuanming's handsome face inherited from Wu Yingxiong finally showed a smile, and another idea came to mind.
"Wu Lu, Wu Shou, Wu Xi." Wu Yuanming shouted the names of the three brothers of the Wu family, and after a while, the three brothers came in and said together: "The slave is here, what does the son of the world command?" β
"Wu Lu, you go to the back room and invite the princess Niangniang to come here, and ask her to bring the incense, Linghe and Yunsleeve, as well as that Bian Mama, too." Wu Yuanming ordered in high spirits: "Wu Shou, Wu Xi, you two go to the dungeon to bring Shi Jianmei here, this son has something to do to take care of you." β
"Yes." The three brothers took the order and left, and after a while, Wu Shou and Wu Xi escorted Shi Jianmei in, at this moment Shi Jianmei already knew the news of the death of her father-in-law Shi Longbiao, and she had already cried to death, and after entering the study, she naturally scolded Wu Yuanming, and Wu Yuanming didn't bother to pay attention to her, just waiting for the news of Princess Jianning and others. But after a while, Wu Lu came back with a sad face, and reported: "Shizi, the slave is incompetent, the princess Niangniang doesn't want to come here, she said that if you want to see her, go to the back room by yourself." β
"Just go." Wu Yuanming said in his heart Who told me to use her to release Shi Jianmei, so he nodded and ordered: "Okay, you three escort Shi Jianmei and follow me to see the princess." β
Although Wu Yuanming's abacus played well, what he didn't know was that Princess Jianning was also waiting for her while sharpening her knife, and after having the two ecstasy handkerchiefs given by Xiaozhuang, Princess Jianning, who had always been very inferior to her appearance, was already full of confidence in fascinating her husband. Princess Jianning instructed the three pretty maids to make the bed and fold the quilt for herself, and to clean the bedroom with incense, and secretly said in her heart: "Wu Yingxiong, this palace must let you bow down under the pomegranate skirt of this palace, and let your Wu family's intelligence network be used by my love Xinjueluo family!" β
