Chapter 116: Into the Tiger's Den

(Cat flutter Chinese) The scribe took the post, and when he saw the three words "Wu Ciyou", his face immediately smiled, and he said on the spot: "Understand this matter, the former Lord Taizun once sent a constitutional decree to search for Mr. Wu's whereabouts everywhere and ordered us to inquire around. This adult is now home and worried. The new Zheng Taizun took over the seal not long ago, but I am afraid that he may not know, so he will report it. As he spoke, he got up and went.

Wu Ciyou's heart hanging in mid-air was steady; At least not to be turned away. Just thinking about it, I saw an inconspicuous side door on the east side of the government open with a "ah". The scribe was the lead, followed by an official, with a white face, two black beards like ink, just into a "eight" shape, wearing an official robe with eight pythons and five claws, embellished with Bai Peng's supplementary clothes, the red tassels on the top of the white glass trembled, and the feet were on the soap boots with a thousand layers of bottoms, and they came out with a square step of eight characters. Behind him, there was also a person, like a master, wearing a black satin gown, a green satin melon skin hat, a pair of big crystal sunglasses on his eyes, and the betel nut purse tied around his waist swayed, and he couldn't help but look at Wu Ciyou with his eyes.

When Wu Ciyou saw that it was Taishou who came out to greet him in person, he hurriedly took a step forward and bowed down, and said: "Wu Ciyou, who was born late, has long admired the name of Taizun, passed by Guizhi, and came to visit. ”

"Ah, sir, you don't dare to do this!" The official hurriedly returned his hand, grabbed Wu Ciyou's hand and said, "Student Zheng Chunyou, I have already been instructed by the constitution to interview Mr. Wu." I thought that Mr. had already gone south, but unexpectedly, Gui Toe actually came to the Ya in person-oh, this Kong Lingpei is a descendant of the Holy Descendant. After the students arrived, they invited Brother Kong to come to the government for guidance and help. When we were chatting in the back office just now, we also mentioned that Mr. was here, and I didn't think that Mr. had already arrived, which was a real blessing. Fortunately! ”

Wu Ciyou seems to have heard the words "Zheng Chunyou" somewhere, but he can't think about it for a while. Seeing that Zheng Chunyou was full of spring breeze, amiable, and very hearty and talkative, he was secretly happy in his heart. Kong Lingpei, who was next to him, arched his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. seems to be a little sick, the banquet behind him has not yet been feasted, so he should wash the dust for Mr." Zheng Chunyou smiled: "Exactly! Since I came, I will stay here for a few days, I have all the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting here, and I will definitely meet the appetite of Mr. If Mr. doesn't give face, do I want the overlord to keep guests? ”

Zheng Chunyou smiled, very attentive and affectionate. Let Wu Ciyou into the back hall: "Come on, please come here, it's in the west wing of the flower hall!" ”

As soon as Wu Ciyou stepped into the flower hall, he was immediately stunned on the ground, his face was as shocked as paper, and he couldn't move an inch, and it turned out that the king of Pingxi, who led people to arrest him in the Yingfeng Pavilion of Anqing Mansion, drove the guards, beat the tiger and the emperor to protect the pillar, and was sitting at the banquet table with a smile and waiting!

"As the saying goes, 'no one sees the landslide and the ground cracks, and the peaks and loops turn and meet'!" When Huangfu Baozhu saw him come in, he laughed and got up and said, "Mr. is really auspicious, he can survive a great disaster, and he doesn't want to reunite with Mr. here, isn't it a blessing in his life?" ”

"Western Election Officer!"

"N-yes!" Zheng Chunyou raised two thin eyebrows, dragged out his voice and said with a smile, "The students have been cold for ten years, three articles, two Jinshi, and the palace examination is ranked in the second and eleventh." Although not as noble as Mr., he is also a Sven person! Don't be frightened, sir, please take a seat and we'll talk about it. ”

"Okay!" At this point, Wu Ciyou knew that he was already in the bronze and iron array, and sat down as the chief in his heart, raised his glass and drank it, and said with a smile when he saw the bear's paw and roast pig on the table, "These two things, if they are burned well, they are delicacies, and if they are not burned well, they can't eat a mouthful - they can't be done without a hundred taels of silver. Then, he picked up a piece of roast pork and pork meat and tasted it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "I have been sick for a long time, and it is really a blessing to taste this delicious taste-Mr. Ling Pei, your ancestors did not know the smell of meat when they heard Shao March, I am afraid it is not accurate." ”

"Happy!" Huangfu Baozhu felt a little ashamed of himself when he saw Wu Ciyou so arrogant, got up and poured wine for Wu Ciyou and said with a smile, "Mr. is elegant and elegant, he has been under the command of King Pingxi for more than ten years, and it is rare to see such an open-minded person!" Kong Lingpei said with a smile: "General Baozhu has been here for three months, and he is waiting for news from Mr. and does not want Mr. to come to visit." The three words "your ancestor" of Wu Ciyou, he listened to it very uselessly, so he replied sarcastically.

Wu Ciyou ate another glass of wine, his pale face turned red, pushed the cup flat on the table, and sneered: "That's Wu Mou's bad luck and he met someone who was waiting for the rabbit!" ”

"I'm afraid not, right?" Zheng Chunyou smiled and poured wine for Wu Ciyou, "How can there be such a big tree under it - the upper leaves are dry and green clouds, the lower roots lead to three springs, swaying can generate wind, breathing can cause rain, the unicorn red leopard lives below, the Luan bird phoenix nests on it, the sin is born everywhere, and the roots are intertwined and ......"

"This is just the tree of the Ghost Valley, it will change for a long time and become a wood monster, thinking that Wu doesn't know it?" Wu Ciyou knew as soon as he heard that this was a set of words in the "Guiguzi to Su Qin Zhang Yi Book", and he responded casually, "If God is angry, the wind and clouds change, the lightning shines in the sky, the thunder and fire strike, the wind and the wind drum up the wings, Zhu Rong rises the flames, the god of the dragon and snake serves his life, and the Fuxi clan drives the car of the six dragons and horses at the foot of Wuhua Mountain, then this tree will survive?" ”

Zheng Chunyou shook his head and was smug, but he was blocked by Wu Ciyou's words of "rushing to the fire" at first glance, but he couldn't make a good article to overturn the case for a while, so he picked up the cup and drank it with a dry laugh, and said with a smile: "Where does it come from so much anger, but the article can be read." Baozhu and Kong Lingpei next to him saw that as soon as the two of them met, they clashed with lightning and couldn't help but admire each other in their hearts.

"Something to say, right?" Wu Ciyou sneered, "That's a good opening statement. At this time, he held on to his strength, and he didn't look like a person who had just recovered from a long illness.

"Wellβ€”that's right," Bao Zhu was somehow a little impressed by him from these two contacts with Wu Ciyou, and smiled slightly, "Actually, Mr. already knows that we have been ordered by the king, and there is no way to do it, it is better to ask Mr. to go to Yunnan in person to meet the prince, many things are very easy to discuss." ”

"I'm not going to Yunnan." Wu Ciyou is categorical. With a disdainful look, he took a bite of food and chewed it, "That place is full of black smoke and miasma, and I don't want to send it to death." If you want to die, it's better to die in the Central Plains. ”

Zheng Chunyou laughed when he heard this, leaned his face closer to Wu Ciyou and said, "It's okay if you don't go." I heard that the emperor asked Mr. to draft something, why not teach me, Mr. Guan Bao is still wandering the rivers and lakes, and no one will trouble you. ”

"What if I refuse to be taught? Don't forget, I, Wu, came to vote for your mansion, but there are many people who know! Wu Ciyou looked at Zheng Chunyou with a smile, gently clasped the wine glass with his fingers and asked, "At this time, I remembered." Hmm, Zheng Chunyou, whose courtier are you? You are wearing the official uniform of the imperial court, but you secretly arrested people for Wu Sangui, wrote plaques and sacrificed medicine for Zhong Sanlang Xiangtang, how many masters do you have? Is it three, two, or one? ”

Wu Ciyou revealed his relationship with Zhong Saburo Xiangtang in front of Huangfu Baozhu, and Zheng Chunyou was slightly flustered; The third prince of Zhu and the snake were agreed by Wu Sangui's nephew, but the further collusion was his own opinion, Zheng Chunyou gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, and sneered: "It's better for you to think more about your own affairs at the moment." You must know that it is unusual for scholars to kill people. For example, if the scribe who has just come in and delivers you a famous thorn, it will be difficult for you to guess where he is now, dead or alive. ”

"Whatever you want." Wu Ciyou smiled indifferently, stood up and asked, "Is it in the well, or on the beam?" Is it with a knife, or with a dove? Please advise. ”

"I'm reluctant to kill you!" Huangfu Baozhu smiled, "But Mr. is indeed a little arrogant, so let's do it - Mr. has just recovered from a serious illness, so let's live in the study in this garden first, our affairs are not in a hurry, Mr. slowly thinks about it, and we will go on the road again." There are dozens of brothers here serving Mr., and they just have to tell me what they want, but when the weather is bad outside, they don't have to go out. He got up and waved his hand, and two big men stood at the door early. Wu Ciyou stood up, flicked his sleeves, and followed without looking back.

This strong scholar refused to give in, and the three of them made difficulties. When Wu Ciyou went out, Zheng Chunyou glanced at Kong Lingpei inquiringly and asked, "What do you see?" ”

"This is a person who eats soft rather than hard." Kong Lingpei smiled and said, "Why don't we follow Cao Mengde's example and also have a 'three days and one banquet in five days', and the beauty and jade silk will raise him, which is made of iron, and it will melt him - it's a pity that the Ziyun girl has gone to Beijing." Bao Zhu smiled: "This plan is feasible. After being a saint in the end, the methods he came up with were all with a 'Shao Le' flavor. But that's not a matter of a couple of threes. ”

"It's better to take him back to Yunnan as soon as possible!" Zheng Chunyou pondered for a while, and finally felt that it was not a matter of detaining Wu Ciyou in the mansion for a long time.

Baozhu listened disapprovingly, hesitated for a long time and said: "Yunnan is far away from this thousands of rivers and mountains, if Wu Ciyou is willing to go, there will be no more." He refuses to go now, and the court visits him everywhere, if I leak a little news, I may not be able to return to Yunnan even if I have great ability! Besides, what the prince wants now is Wu Ciyou, along the way, if he doesn't eat or drink, will he let me pull a dead body to see the prince? ”

Kong Lingpei shook his fan and said in a deep voice: "In this way, Wu Ciyou has fallen into our hands, and I don't think it is necessary to send it to Yunnan. It doesn't matter whether Wu Ciyou is dead or alive. Bao Zhu said: "It's better to live, I guess the prince wants to get him, but also to recruit talents, and it can be used as a pretext for refusing to withdraw the domain, and it is worthless if he dies." ”

"This sour man doesn't eat soft and hard, what can you do with him?" Zheng Chunyou is usually extremely conceited, and he is very frustrated that today's article has failed.

Listening to Baozhu's words, there seemed to be a sense of returning to protect Wu Ciyou, so he said a sentence.

"Soft doesn't necessarily mean you don't want to eat it." Kong Lingpei said with a smile, "Just raise him, good tea and good food." We can also take the opportunity to make friends with him, and after a long time, we will be able to find a crack,β€”β€” Baozhu is not very fond of playing chess, and can often play with him. ”
