Chapter 50: Night Talk (1)
Bai Ye said with a rare shyness: "... I... I'm not very good at writing.... I haven't been to school for a few days..... I am a little unfamiliar with writing essays and sentences. Bai Ye scratched his head in shame, but suddenly with a proud and confident face, he squatted on the chair and slapped the table and exclaimed: "But I, martial arts are very proficient, eighteen classes of martial arts, knives, guns, sticks, axes, hooks, forks, I am very proficient, come and I will show you!" ”
As he spoke, he threw the lake pen made by the master of Huzhou Chengdetang in his hand behind him, and rolled up his sleeves to demonstrate.
Xia Zongxiao hurriedly grabbed with his big head: "Stop, stop...... What is the demo? He glanced at the stunned Gu Mancang and the little dice in the tent, as well as the two internal officials who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh and blushed: "It's not enough to be ashamed, sit down for Lao Tzu!" ”
"Oh..."Bai Ye also realized that he seemed to be behaving a little inappropriately now, and he put down his legs and straightened his body in a proper manner, like a private school student supervised by a gentleman.
"Eh, I... You..."Xia Zongxiao didn't know how to teach her a lesson for a while, her face was red from her anger, and her body was a little hot, and she fanned the wind with a light big fu, it was still hot, so she simply took the big pyu behind her and pointed at Bai Yeqi and said, "Didn't you write it very well?" The font is elegant and elegant, and it has a lot of skills, why is it now written as a ghost drawing symbol? ”
Seeing that Xia Zongxiao was angry with himself, Bai Ye hurriedly got up, picked up the big coat from the ground full of animal skins, and helped Xia Zongxiao put it on his body again: "It's cold at night... You're weak... Don't freeze..."Helping Xia Zongxiao tighten his chest, he looked at Xia Zongxiao suspiciously: "When have you seen me write?" ”
"That's it! On Zuo Shen's desk, I have seen the letter you wrote to him requesting the allocation of food and sending troops! ”
"A book on allocating food and sending troops?" Bai Ye frowned and thought, and after a while, it suddenly dawned on him: "Oh! You said Kumon! ”
"Kumon? Right..."
"All the official documents in my Ji Town are written by the wolf, and I am only responsible for stamping, the official document is not written by me, it is written by the wolf! No wonder you say that your handwriting is beautiful! ”
"Wolves? Who is it? Xia Zongxiao stared at the smug white night vigilantly.
"I'm in the army! His real name is Langning, his name is Wolf, we are good brothers who grew up together, and we are used to calling him by his name! Bai Ye said stupidly: "We are close to each other, we all call him a wolf, let me tell you, this wolf is not only good at writing, but also good at writing, and he is handsome, and I have a fight!" I'll introduce you two to each other when I go back," Bai Ye didn't mention his brother, and he didn't look at the song with a sad face, and his eyebrows flew and his joy was overflowing.
"He is responsible for all my previous correspondence and official documents to the imperial court!" Bai Ye said with a head, and exclaimed in annoyance: "Look at my brain! How did I forget! Let the wolf ghostwrite for me! He writes well! The style is good! Brilliant! I can't hold back ten words in half an hour! He can do it with just a stick of incense! I'm going to find him!" ”
Xia Zongxiao listened to it very unpleasantly, is it appropriate to praise another man like this in front of Lao Tzu?
“... King... Concubine..."The little dice watched for a long time and said timidly.
Bai Ye was still immersed in his own world and didn't react, Xia Zongxiao pestleed Bai Ye impatiently said: "I've called you!" ”
"Huh? Something? Only then did Bai Ye come back to his senses, and his instinctive gaze looked at the little dice like electricity.
The little dice were frightened by Bai Ye's "terrifying" gaze, and hurriedly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Bai Ye's whisper of cowardice.
"That's... The right phase will not only be... The princess's family went to prison, and many officials of the four guards of Jizhen were put in prison together, among which there should be the princess who said that Lang joined the army, because the slave maid followed the prince to see them in the Assassin's Mansion that day, so I paid attention to it, and the two female guards beside the princess were also taken down, including the man who looked like a bear..."
The more the little dice talked, the more vain they became, and they didn't dare to look at the white night with their heads down.
In fact, it wasn't Xiao Dice who paid attention to this matter, but these people were specially instructed by Xiao Dice to find the officials in Beijing who were ordered to arrest them.
Because the little dice were already crazy at that time, he only thought that Bai Ye had kidnapped his prince, and everyone who had anything to do with Bai Ye was suspected of being an accomplice and couldn't let it go.
And when they first met, the process was not very pleasant... Especially the rough man covered in hair and the two stinky girls who have no woman's morals at all, they are not good people at first glance. Only then did he find the arrested officials and "catch them all".
Xia Zongxiao listened to it, but his heart was filled with joy and joy for some reason, but he had a look of regret on his face, patted Bai Ye's shoulder and said sincerely, and the big puff on his body slipped half: "Alas! It seems that you are a good brother who grew up together, and you are talented and good to join the army! Now that you're counting fleas in prison, you can't count on him, so you'd better ask for more blessings......"
Bai Ye was silent, his expression was full of restraint, he didn't expect that his momentary Meng Lang's actions would harm so many people? Her family, as well as her good brother who was born and died with her for so many years, are all in prison because of herself......
Since childhood, the military career has cultivated the character of valuing love and righteousness in the white night, and the guilt and self-blame are like a prairie fire that spreads madly in her heart, scorching her heart, and the pain in her eyes is unconsciously highlighted, just reaching out to help Xia Zongxiao tie the big pyu on his body to prevent it from slipping, and then silently walked back to the bookcase and picked up the lake pen that was sticking to the ground animal hair, sat down silently and leaned over to write, no longer raised his head, his mind was focused, and he wrote very carefully word by word......
There was silence in the tent for a while, except for the occasional muffled cracking of candles in the charcoal basin.
Seeing this, Xia Zongxiao didn't tease Bai Ye, nor did he comfort her, except for letting her family and brothers stand in front of her safely at this time, all actions and words were pale and superfluous.
Turning around, Xia Zongxiao sighed imperceptibly, sat back on the Luohan bed gently, and said in a light voice to the two internal officials who had tightened their faces, looked at their mouths and noses in a proper manner.
"Didn't you say that there was a decree from the imperial grandmother? Give it to me..."
"Your Highness!" Chief Zhuo spoke softly, and cautiously glanced up at the direction of Bai Ye, who was immersed in hard work, and confirmed that he did not disturb Bai Ye before continuing to speak carefully: "The Queen Mother gave Her Royal Highness an edict, and the slave maid will send an edict to His Royal Highness: Xiao'er, New Year's Day is approaching, and at the beginning of the new year, my grandson's crown ceremony is imminent, and I need to return, and the matter of the White Tiger can be seen..."
At this point, both Mr. Zhuo and Mr. Ma cautiously glanced sideways at the direction of the white night, and quickly withdrew their gaze, and then Mr. Zhuo continued: "... White... The night is the living white tiger that Xiao'er is looking for? If not, there is no need to worry, grandmother will summon the true martial arts, Xuanqing Zhenren into Beijing, and then make a hexagram for Xiao'er..."
When Mr. Zhuo preached, even his movements and demeanor were imitating the Queen Mother, as vivid as the Queen Mother's own mouth, and a large number of words were all imprinted in his mind and blurted out. Oral oracle is also a skillful task that not everyone can do.
Later, there are some trivial things about the cold and warmth, and there are also some happy events of the clan and relatives, which county palace marries a concubine and descends a daughter......
Xia Zongxiao pondered for a moment, and then said to Chief Zhuo: "Returning to the emperor's grandmother: the grandson will leave for Beijing in two days, and the grandson will return to Beijing after the white night..."
Chief Zhuo and Chief Ma looked at each other speechlessly, and after Chief Zhuo finished passing the message, he lifted his clothes and knelt down to salute and retired: "The slave and maid set off overnight and hurried back to Beijing to make a business, and she should have gone back five days ago...... It has been delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will miss it, and I dare not delay, and the official will stay by His Royal Highness's side to serve until he returns to Beijing with His Highness...
A few days ago, the Queen Mother received a secret report from the Imperial City Division in Shuozhou, and heard that His Royal Highness was sick and was assassinated! The Queen Mother was very worried, and she had already asked the slave and maid to bring a spoken word to reprimand Imperial Doctor Xiao for not taking care of His Royal Highness's noble body... Demotion and retention... Fined for half a year... Originally, there was also a punishment for the three guards of the king, but at that time, His Royal Highness... Get out... Distracted... The army is in disarray... I didn't bother to preach the message,
After that, the commander of Sun Du was sent to prison by the right minister, and the two commanders on the left and right were also hit by the right minister's military staff, and they were out searching for His Royal Highness and did not return, and the slaves and maids did not know who to pass the edict to..."
"Then don't pass it on! Isn't it an edict to punish them, and when I go back to the emperor's grandmother, I will say that I will intercede for them, and the punishment will be exempted! Xia Zongxiao waved his hand indifferently and said, and stared at the Ma Neiguan who was standing in confusion and said: "I have a little dice to serve, why did the imperial grandmother send the Ma chief manager?" ”
"Back to Your Highness!" This time it was Ma Neiguan who spoke, he bowed and saluted: "The slave and maid know a little bit about the rivers and lakes, the queen mother heard that His Royal Highness was almost assassinated, and was furious, and scolded the three guards for being incompetent and useless, worried, and sent a slave to protect His Highness." ”
"Do you know how to do kung fu?" Xia Zong is Xiaoqi, I've known each other for so long, I never knew it, eunuchs know kung fu? Xia Zongxiao's mind unconsciously appeared a bewitching figure and a powerful martial arts peerless technique, and four big characters floated through his mind.
"It's just a little superficial, and it can't be put on the table...", Mr. Ma replied humbly.
