Chapter 182: Mother Teaches by Example
The battle of Tongguan is raging, the rain of arrows falls from the sky, the stones are powdered on the city wall, and there is no grass and trees.
In Xingqing Palace, the singing and dancing were leveled, and the Qingping tune sounded again, but the singing piano girl had changed several names.
Under the extravagant lights, the king took his concubine to visit the garden, as if traveling in a fairyland, living a life like a living fairy.
In the East Palace, Li Heng held his sword and slashed around, acting crazy, sometimes laughing madly, sometimes hugging the palace maid who came to deliver food, shouting that the baby should not go.
"Hahahaha!"
Li Heng tore the palace maid's clothes, and his sickly face showed a look of despair, and finally his facial muscles stopped twitching, holding a long sword in one hand and a torn sari in the other.
The palace maid's chest and face were covered with red scratches, and her coiled sideburns had already been messed up, sobbing, and tears of fear cut through her makeup, sliding down her fat cheeks, and rubbing the black daisy spots on her dimples.
Standing up, the long sword made a swishing sound on the bluestone floor of the empty palace, Li Heng looked at the palace maid lying on the ground with cold eyes full of hatred, and smiled dismally, with a full ruffian.
The palace maid wanted to get up and escape, and the rumors that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was crazy were indeed true.
Lifting the sword, Li Heng threw the sharp sword with cold light into the chest of the palace maid as if he had stepped on an ant to death, and watched the palace maid struggle to die with cold eyes, and finally let out a miserable laugh.
"Over the years, the two beloved wives of Prince Ben have been framed by traitors, both by their father, and by His Majesty! Hah..."
Li Heng slowly walked out of the door of the hall where the rotten yarn was fluttering, facing the cold moon in the sky, opening his hands to make a state of embrace, and suddenly spoke.
"Jing Zhong! Do you think Prince Ben acted well? β
"Good, exquisite!"
Li Jingzhong clapped ugly applause like a lost little quail, as if he was judging a handicraft and boasting.
"Jingzhong, you know what? Father, Your Majesty is about to fail, and the old man who is still enjoying himself in Xingqing Palace actually thinks that he is firmly on the throne! β
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will ascend the throne soon!"
Li Heng suddenly turned around and looked at Li Jingzhong with bloodshot eyes.
"Go, bring me the people you have found in the rivers and lakes to come over with a lot of money, the world is in chaos, I want to set up a situation!"
"Yes!"
The next day, Ji Xiao was carrying six bags of white rice towards the West Market, but was blocked by a masked man on the street.
Li Jingzhong also took the opportunity to walk out from the side and smiled at the big man Ji Xiao.
"This strong man, but a strong man fighting tigers?"
Ji Xiao carried six bags of rice, his face was not red and his heart was not beating, he raised his thick eyebrows and looked at Li Jingzhong, and nodded his chin.
"Well, I am!"
"That's good!"
Li Jingzhong clapped his hands, and immediately asked people to bring out a box of gold and put it in front of Ji Xiao.
Ji Xiao couldn't see it, the box was full of gold, and his eyes couldn't be straighter.
"Strong man, do you like it?"
Li Jingzhong smiled proudly, kept rubbing his hands, and nodded his head quite satisfied.
"I like it!"
Ji Xiao couldn't close his mouth, and was completely attracted by this box of gold that he had never seen.
"If the strong man likes it, then give it to the strong man below!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Okay, I'm going to do it!"
Smiling like a child, Ji Xiao put down the rice bag on his back, picked up a box of gold, looked at this little eunuch with a very kind look, blinked his eyes, and happily prepared to leave.
"Hey, strong man, now that the gold has been accepted, it is better to come to the East Palace to do things for the prince!"
"Okay!"
Ji Xiao didn't reply, and walked towards the Journey to the West Restaurant with six bags of rice in his hand.
Li Jingzhong touched his chin, said in his heart that he was really a fool, rolled his eyes, and said in a chicken thief.
"Well, there's a box of gold in this place tomorrow!"
"Oh! I got it! β
Ji Xiao was clearly bought like this, but.
After returning to the princess's mansion, he put the gold in front of the gray-haired Ji Mu, and at the same time explained the origin of the gold in ecstaty.
"Mother, it's a big deal, it's a big deal, I want to help the prince do things, so much gold, I can buy a lot of big houses in Chang'an!"
Ji Mu looked at the gold in the box, shook her head, and at the same time sighed and looked at Wan'er, who was drying clothes outside the door, her heart was horizontal again, she picked up a reed broom, and smashed it at Ji Xiao.
"Good and brave! My son! Since ancient times, loyal ministers have not been two masters! Over the years, the princess's mansion has treated us with great kindness, why did you forget it so quickly! β
Ji Xiao, who was in his early thirties, was stunned when he heard this, although he was usually naΓ―ve, he was not stupid.
"Be grateful! You are a courtier of the princess's mansion one day, and you will always be a courtier of the princess's mansion! I don't leave the house on weekdays, but I also hear a lot of things about Chang'an! Don't think that when your mother is old, she won't beat you! β
A broom came sideways, and he was punished by his mother's weak beating, and Ji Xiao immediately knelt down and kowtowed to ask for guilt.
"It's unfilial! Child: Wrong! But I promised everyone! β
"You! Ouch... Heart! β
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
When Ji's mother scolded, Wan'er was already standing at the door, and when she saw Ji's mother covering her chest and about to fall, she went up to support the old man.
"It's okay, Wan'er, listen!"
"Yes, mother-in-law!"
Wan'er's eyes are slightly hot, she has been taking care of the elderly for several years, and she knows very well that the old man's body is getting worse day by day.
"Although Wan'er didn't go through the door, it was because of the princess, you said that this girl looked right, so I gave you the opportunity to pull, the girl is the princess's maidservant, and it is impossible to marry you without the permission of the princess! Moreover, I don't think there's anything good about the rumored crazy prince, look at the princess, just after returning to Chang'an, she ran for the safety of the country! β
After Ji Mu finished speaking, she straightened out her anger and sat down on the high couch again.
"But didn't my mother teach me to be a gentleman? If you don't believe in your word, you are not a gentleman..."
Hearing this, Ji Mu immediately choked back.
"When you are obsessed with money, you are no longer a gentleman! You're a villain, Shanyong, you're a villain! β
Ji Xiao's huge body was touched, and he kowtowed dozens of times in a row to plead guilty.
"Son knows it's wrong!"
According to the agreed time, Ji Xiao met the little eunuch Li Jingzhong at the same place.
"Strongman, I have brought another box of gold below! As the saying goes, how can a gentleman not love money, as long as a strong man is..."
Ji Xiao reluctantly glanced at the gold nuggets in the box, picked up the pieces and threw them towards Li Jingzhong.
The first piece was blocked by the masked man, but it couldn't stop the smashing of several pieces of gold, and finally a gold nugget that hit the masked man slid through his body and hit Li Jingzhong's red heart.
Ji Xiao saw Li Jingzhong's eyes turned white and fainted, so he left the street proudly and continued to carry dozens of jars of spirits to the Journey to the West Restaurant.
On this day, the Guangning couple who were treated by the doctor also woke up safely, and Tongguan was lost, Geshuhan died in battle, and the news of the collapse of the last line of defense of Datang spread in everyone's hearts like a plague, and panic came.
