Chapter 39: The Wish of a Lifetime

Yulong picked up a bottle of liquor and looked up "Hiss, after his mother's death, Yuan Qingshu went crazy, and the well-wishers around him didn't dare to anger the new assassin Shi so they could only secretly send him medicine to treat the injury, but unfortunately the leg was broken, and the tendons were broken... Alas! This damn He Hu! Wait for him to reach the master's hands, let him also experience what life is better than death! ”

Chu Lingke angrily drank the wine in his hand and got up and patted Yulong's shoulder, "Let's go, let's go to Lumen Lane again!" Yulong's chopsticks hadn't been put down yet, and he looked at the dishes on the table with a loveless face, and wailed, "Shizi! I've only eaten two meatballs after a day without touching my feet! And sweet and sour fish! Crispy short ribs! I haven't tasted the fresh bean curd yet! ”

"Tsk, these dishes will be packed and sent to the Imperial History Mansion, and when they come back from their errands, they can eat as much as they want!"

Yulong immediately put down his chopsticks and smiled, "That's done! Can the prince add another serving of Dongpo meat? The Dongpo meat here is so fragrant! The entrance is fat but not greasy! The food I eat in Daliang City is not as authentic as it is made here! ”

Chu Lingke looked at him, his eyes were shining, and his saliva was about to run down, and he sneered, "Heh, if you want to be fat like Wang Qiwen, I don't mind if you want to be like Wang Qiwen!" Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, Yulong instantly stopped thinking about Laoshizi Dongpo meat, if he was fat like that, it would be better to kill him! He waved his hand again and again, "Bah, bah! What Dongpo meat! The prince misheard! I'm talking about getting out of the way to be true! ”

The shopkeeper who walked downstairs already knew Chu Lingke, smiled and promised to send someone to deliver the food to the Imperial History Mansion in a while. Walking to Lumen Lane again, Chu Lingke's mood was completely different from last time, the narrow corridor was full of peculiar smells and a kind of sadness at the same time... The weeds in front of the broken wooden door seemed to grow taller again, and the jade dragon used his sword to clear the way in front of him.

"I said, Shizi, since you know that you are going to come here, why don't you find a coolie to work? Now my sword is going to be bent! Yulong really said everything, Chu Lingke smiled helplessly, "Isn't this son of the world diligent and thrifty? With you by your side, a guard who knows everything, do you still need to spend money to find someone! The money saved..."

Yulong's eyes lit up, "The money saved can be given to me."

"The money saved can buy some gadgets for Xiang'er"

The jade dragon raised his head and wailed, what a miserable life!! The wooden door creaked, half of the door fell to the ground, and a piece of green grass collapsed, and a faint path appeared in front of him, Chu Lingke let Yulong follow behind him, and he walked in front of him, the last time he came to this courtyard, he didn't observe the surroundings well, but now it looks even more desolate, next to an ancient well hidden in the weeds is a millstone, and the scene of the year is looming... I can't bear to look at it anymore and keep going.

Pushing open the door, everything inside was still the same as when they came, even the dust marks on the table were the same, as if time had stopped, and they were back to that day... Entering the inner room, Chu Lingke saw at a glance the jade pendant he put on the ground that day, and now a lot of dust has fallen The smooth and round high-grade jade has also dimmed, but the clay man Eryuan is not there?!

Yulong glanced around suspiciously, "Shizi, could it be that Yuan Qingshu has already run away?"

Chu Lingke shook his head, his eyes fell on the bed, the meaning was clear, Yulong nodded, and inserted the sword back into the scabbard, because he had a previous experience, so when he saw Yuan Qingshu hiding under the bed again, he was not much frightened, but his hands trembled, took a step back, looked sideways at Chu Lingke, and asked what to do.

"Let's move the bed out of the way first, and you can go get some water to clean it up later."

Yulong nodded in agreement, and then suddenly remembered that when he came to this courtyard, it was estimated that grass was growing in the broken well! Shizi really cultivated him to be omnipotent, weeding and moving bricks! If this continues, it is estimated that when he gets old, he will not have the skills to support his family! What a visionary the son of the world!

After removing the bed, Chu Lingke didn't let Yuan Qingshu get up like last time, he pulled off the jade dragon's coat and spread it on the ground, and sat down to look at the motionless Yuan Qingshu, the jade dragon on the other side clung to his white obscene clothes and sniffled, carrying a wooden bucket hung with cobwebs to the mossy well, as soon as he put down the bucket, he smelled the stench of deterioration of the well water coming from the well, and the smell was so strong that he almost spit out the only two remaining meatballs...

Two hours have passed when the water he brought out was cool and had no peculiar smell, and the smell of sweat on his body Yulong washed himself before carrying the water and walked in, Chu Lingke still maintained that posture and did not move, he did not move, Yuan Qingshu did not move, and the two of them just looked at me, I don't know where to look like this.

"Shizi, the water is ready!"

Chu Lingke got up and tidied up his clothes and said, "That's it, then wash him!"

The jade dragon stood dumbfounded, and then said ah, "Shizi, let me give it to him. Wash him??? "Naturally! How can this son wash people? When I was in the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion before..." Good, good! I'll roll up my arms and sleeves to wash this master cleanly! ”

Originally, he thought that Yuan Qingshu did not have consciousness, but when Yulong was about to take away the lump of fabric he was holding on his chest, he suddenly shouted, his eyes were so big that he didn't let go, Chu Lingke stepped forward to comfort him, "If we don't take it, we won't take it." "But if he doesn't let go, how can he take off this clothes?"

"Cut it with a knife, anyway, this shirt is tattered like this, it's better to change it to a new one"

Yulong tugged at his dirty clothes and said nervously, "Shizi, I really can't take it off anymore!" Leave me a piece of clothing! Chu Lingke laughed and brought a bag out of nowhere, opened it and put it on the table, and it turned out to be a set of men's clothes! Inside and out!

"Who said they wanted your clothes? You sweat all over your body, even if he doesn't dislike this world, he dislikes it! Now hurry up and wash him up and put on new clothes."

Yulong breathed a sigh of relief and squatted down with a wet handkerchief and rubbed Yuan Qingshu seriously, his body was full of large and small scars, which could be seen as being beaten by someone, the scars on his wrists and their depth made Ke frown when he saw it, if he was usually thin, he would have a way to heal, but... Hurt like this, he didn't dare to assert it now.

Yuan Qingshu still sat expressionlessly, at the mercy of the jade dragon, as long as he didn't touch the ball of cotton cloth in his arms. After tossing and turning, it can be regarded as washing him and changing into light clothes, and then he used the small dagger he carried with him to shave off the beard and miscellaneous hair on his face, and when his true appearance was revealed, Yulong and Chu Lingke couldn't help but feel distressed.

Yuan Qingshu's appearance is really different from that of the Huizhou people, and he looks somewhat similar to the Daliang people. What impressed Chu Lingke was that there was a small black mole under the corner of his left eye, which made his original appearance even more handsome. It's a pity that such a talented and good-looking man! No one would have imagined that it would be like this now...

"The world. . . Shizi, what's next? ”

Yulong obviously didn't expect Yuan Qingshu to be such a spiritual man after washing up! He thought that Yuan Qingshu was a rough man who was not confused, who knew he looked like this?!

Chu Lingke looked at the ruined surroundings and sighed, it is absolutely impossible to bring him back to the Imperial History Mansion, although the jade dragon can fly in with him from an inconspicuous place, but after all, this is the territory of Wang Qiwen, He Hu's subordinate, as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the ground, the head snake has to be cautious when it comes to other people's territory!

He shouldn't be so honest that he wouldn't run around, and this place is obviously not suitable for people. Let's find an inn closer to the Imperial History Mansion, open the room and ask Xiao Er to deliver three meals a day on time, and see if he can think of something, after all..."

Yulong didn't ask much this time, picked up the coat on the ground and shook it, "Shizi is right, things are already very troublesome now, Wang Qiwen seems to be very interested in where we are going these two days, and every time I see his greasy face at dinner, I am disgusted! I don't know when this matter will be resolved! ”

Chu Lingke looked at Yuan Qingshu, who was motionless, and sighed, "In a few days, it will be the hunting festival, and the emperor will inevitably leave the Forbidden Palace. The meeting of the Quartet has been postponed, and this is already the biggest deadline given to us by the emperor... After the hunting festival is over, the real trouble..."

"What's wrong with Yingniang recently?"

Yulong nodded, "Shizi, rest assured, that bag of things has already been placed there. It has not been discovered for the time being, as long as Wang Qiwen moves, our plan will be half successful! ”

"Well, don't let her see it"

Yulong stood and struggled for a long time, but then said, "The prince can find that Yingniang... What is the difference for the son? ”

"What's the difference? But daily refreshments? Or..."

"Oh, Shizi! No wonder you're so old that you can't talk about a lady! Yulong almost beat his chest, why is the young lady so smart to understand that the prince is so stupid?

"Every time that Yingniang comes, she wears the dress that the prince gave her that day, and she deliberately smokes incense that she didn't have before, and she looks at the eyes of the prince..."

Chu Lingke smiled a little desolate for some reason, "I know that she has already gone beyond repaying her kindness by doing all this, but..." Look out the window "It's just that I have no affection for her... In my life, my only wish is that Xiang'er can live happily and happily... As for marrying a wife and having children, let's do it in the next life."

He said it very lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all, and Shen Yunlan's appearance could be vaguely seen on his handsome face...

Yulong was inevitably a little sad in his heart, and he saw the kindness of the prince to the young lady in his heart... It's just that why doesn't the prince think about it for himself? In life, everything you do is for yourself, and only a small part is for others; The son of the world is to focus on the happiness of others and let go of his own happiness...

Chu Lingke knew what he was thinking when he saw the appearance of the jade dragon, and stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "This son of the world is not killed on the battlefield, who can you show with such a bitter gourd face?" Yulong felt uncomfortable in his heart, so he said bluntly, "I just think that Shizi is too good to Miss..."

"Silly boy, you don't have a sister at first glance. Xiang'er has been in poor health since she was born, and at that time A-Niang said to me, 'You are the elder brother, you must protect your sister in the future, and you can't let her be wronged', Xiang'er always pestered me and me when she was young, and I was her brother, and my brother naturally had to think about her happiness. ”

"When your kid has a child, you'll know" Chu Lingke smiled and said, "So, my only wish is to take care of her" Yulong seemed to understand and slapped his thigh suddenly, "So at that time, the prince even beat the emperor!" No wonder, no wonder..."

Chu Lingke almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, how could this kid still remember that Liang Qi was pressed to the ground and beaten by him! If outsiders know that Liang Qi and that guy will not make a fuss!
