Chapter 10: The Northland Palace
The eldest son Liu Xuan was canonized as the crown prince at the age of fifteen in the first year of Yuanxi (238 AD), and Liu Chen was named the king of Beidi in the second year of Jingyao (259 AD). Among the seven brothers, Liu Chen has been smart since he was a child, courageous, and ambitious, and has the style of Emperor Zhaolie, so he is very favored by the heir.
Although Liu Chen is a prince, he is not much older than Guan Yi, because the Guan family has an extraordinary relationship with the royal family, so Guan Yi has known him since he was a child.
What's more, Guan Yi still remembers the record about Liu Chen in the history books: in the winter of 263 AD, Wei smuggled Deng Ai into Yinping, and besieged Chengdu after Mianzhu defeated Zhuge Zhan, the son of Zhuge Wuhou, and the heir Liu Chan followed the advice of Qian Zhou to pay and surrender, Liu Chen resolutely opposed, angrily reprimanded Chen Zhou in the court, and asked to defend the city and fight to the death with the Wei army, Liu Chan did not comply. On the day that Liu Chan sent the jade seal to surrender, Liu Chen cried in the Zhaolie Temple to worship the Zhaolie Emperor, and committed suicide after wielding a sword to kill his wife. When people heard it, they all wept for it.
Guan Yi remembers this section very clearly. It's just that such a well-known prince really makes it hard to believe that there are such evil slaves under his command.
Seeing the sudden change in the expression on the face of the young man in white, the fat man only said that he was afraid of his identity, pointed to the ground proudly, and said: "Boy, obediently kowtow to the master three times, and then drill under the master's crotch, and the master will spare you, otherwise don't blame the master for being unkind!" ”
Unexpectedly, the young man in white turned red, and said angrily: "The dog slave is so rude, how can there be such an evil slave as you in the Northland Palace?" ”
"Not bad! Thinking that the king of the northern land is the prince of the present, known as benevolence and righteousness, he is bold and reckless, pretending to be a person from the palace, damaging the royal majesty, what crime should he be guilty of? ”
Guan Yi saw the look on the face of the young man in white, and had already vaguely guessed his true identity in his heart, seeing that this fat man was disrespectful, he couldn't help but be angry, and took over the conversation loudly, regardless of whether he was from the Northland Palace, if it was really this group of minions who climbed the dragon and attached themselves to the phoenix and acted arbitrarily, he couldn't ignore it.
"Huh......" The fat man looked Guan Yi up and down, didn't see anything special, and said impatiently: "Who are you?" Go, go, get out of the way, or I'll clean up with you! ”
"I'm afraid you won't be able to clean it up!" Guan Yi snorted coldly, judging from the fearless expression on this fat man's face, it seems that he is really a slave of the Northland Palace, if this is the case, it will be a little troublesome. He refused to give in on his lips, but in his heart he couldn't help but think, this king of the northern land is known as a hero, isn't it just a superficial article? Or is it simply a fame seeker?
Guan Yi was puzzled in his heart, but he didn't notice the strange gaze cast by the young man in white.
"It's the other way around, it's the other way around......" The fat man was extremely angry, and his blood gushed upward. Although Chengdu is the root of the imperial city at the feet of the Son of Heaven, he has always been used to being rampant and domineering, not to mention the ordinary people, even the ordinary court officials who saw him, they all nodded and bowed, respectfully and respectfully, and did not dare to be careless, but where did they want to suffer such idleness? Turning his head to the group of subordinates, he scolded: "What are you doing with these rice buckets? Give it to me, and beat me to death! ”
Seeing that the fat man was angry, where did he dare to delay, no matter where the other party came from, they shouted, and pounced on Guan Yi and the young man in white. Seeing this, the onlookers were afraid that they would be affected by the fish pond, so they hurriedly retreated.
Ehu was already unable to hold back, and seeing that these evil slaves were about to surround the Keyi, he snorted angrily and grabbed the first two steps to make a move. Guan Yi knew that he was extremely brave, and he was as powerful as an ox, before he was sure who the master of these evil slaves was, if he was allowed to do it, he was afraid that these house slaves would not be able to stop him with three punches and two kicks, and once he got his life, it would be really troublesome, so he was busy drinking him and asked him to retreat and watch the battle and not make a move.
E Hu was stunned for a while, and couldn't understand what Guan Yi was thinking for a while, although he was unwilling, he didn't dare to disobey Guan Yi's order after all, and retreated behind Guan Yi stupidly.
At this moment, several house slaves had rushed to Guan Yi and surrounded him in the middle, one of the house slaves had the intention of behaving in front of the fat man, and the first thing he raised his hand was to punch Guan Yi in front of the door.
Guan Yi put these goods in his eyes, and seeing that his punch had not yet been fully punched, he suddenly took a step forward and took the initiative to lean forward, and while avoiding the fist sideways, he exerted his shoulder elbow and slammed into his right shoulder. This house slave punched the air, and was in a vacuum state where new force was not born, Guan Yi's collision made him feel as if he had been hit by a thousand pounds of hammer, and flew out with a muffled snort under the force of inertia, and fell firmly to the ground, his face was pale, and he covered his right shoulder and howled miserably, but Guan Yi knocked his shoulder blade out of his mortar.
Guan Yi struck a blow and peeked at the young man in white, only to see that he shot like the wind, and several house slaves besieging him were beaten by him, but he never even touched the corner of his clothes.
"Sure enough, he's a master!" Guan Yi secretly praised, although the young man in white was slender, his body was extremely light, and he was as easy as a butterfly in a crowd of house slaves. Guan Yi can also see that these evil slaves were knocked to the ground, but none of them broke their muscles and bones, it seems that the young man in white is merciful.
In such a comparison, Guan Yi's attack seems a bit heavy. In his heart, his subordinates did not hesitate in the slightest, or punched or kicked, and the few house slaves around him were cleaned up in less than a moment, and they lay on the ground one by one and shouted.
"Childe is very skilled!" The young man in white clapped his hands, blinked his sparkling eyes, and said with a smile.
Guan Yi smiled slightly, and handed a look to Ehu, Ehu understood, stepped forward and picked up the fat man who was standing aside and stunned, this fat man was fat, but in Ehu's hands, it was as easy as lifting a chicken, carrying him to Guan Yi and the young man in white, and then kicked him in the crook of his foot, where can the fat man eat Ehu's divine power, "ouch" and knelt down in front of the two.
"You wicked slave, who openly molested a woman of a good family on the street, and dared to pretend to be a member of the Northland King's Mansion, and tarnished the reputation of the Northland King, saying, Who instructed you?" Guan Yi looked at the fat man, and his heart kept spinning. Although he said this, he knew it in his heart, what this fat man said should be the truth, after all, where would ordinary people dare to pretend to be people from the palace? According to Shu Ke, this is a big crime of stealing the house and killing the head. The young man in white probably also saw this, so he showed mercy to his subordinates, otherwise with his skills, those house slaves would definitely not be pleased.
The fat man knelt on the ground, looked at Guan Yi, and then looked at the young man in white, and complained bitterly, these are the two fierce gods that came out of nowhere, although the more than ten people under his command are not good hands, but they are all strong men who know some fists and feet, so many people besiege two people, but they didn't even touch the corners of each other's clothes, and they were beaten to a bruised nose and swollen face, and they couldn't get up with half a sound.
"A bunch of rice buckets!" The fat man cursed fiercely in his heart. He relied on his identity as the housekeeper of the palace, and he had the heart to stand up and resist, but as soon as he touched Guan Yi's fierce eyes, he was terrified in his heart, and most of his momentum was dissipated. Coupled with a kick in the crook of his leg, half of his body was numb, and he really wanted to stand but couldn't stand up.
"I, I ......"
Guan Yi frowned, it seems that most of these house slaves who rely on the master's fox and fake tiger power are some bullying and afraid of the hard, once they encounter hard stubble, they will become a puddle of mud that can't support the wall.
"Who's making trouble here? Get out of the way, get out of the way with me......" At this moment, there was a burst of drinking from outside the crowd.
"The Praetorian guards are coming." Someone in the crowd said something, and then the crowd scattered in all directions.
"Young master, it's a guard patrolling the city, what should I do?" Ehu clenched his fists, according to his previous fiery temperament, he must have fought first, but now he is a full-time guard who is responsible for maintaining public security in Chengdu, and it is not that he can fight. Once you start to do it, it's not easy to get rid of the relationship. This matter is said to Xiaoli, it is a street provocation and trouble, beating an errand officer; In general, it may be equivalent to rebellion and rebellion, but Ling Chi is guilty of death.
Guan Yi frowned, the guards are here, this matter is not easy to do. According to their procedure, anyone who was caught in the street, whether good or bad, was to be brought to the government for interrogation before they were to be heard. Taking a step back, if he really had to reveal his identity, Guan Yi knew that the guards would definitely not dare to take him, but he was in public office after all, and if he let the court know that he didn't care about his identity and fought with people on the street, no matter whether it was right or wrong, there would inevitably be some negative effects.
"Haha, the master's rescuers are here!" When the fat man heard that the guards were coming, he was suddenly shocked, and he didn't care about the pain in the crook of his leg, he stood up and laughed, and the fat on his fat face trembled, as if he saw the hope of turning over.
Ehu was furious, raised his hand and slapped it, shouting, "Lie down for me!" ”
The fat man's eyes flickered, and then he only felt that his cheeks hurt as if he had been peeled off a layer of skin, and he couldn't help but make a "ouch" sound, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and he turned over and fell down after turning around in place for half a circle.
Rao is Ehu's slap only exerted two percent of the force, but the fat man still couldn't bear it, and half of his cheeks immediately swollen and tall, like a pig's head. When the young man in white saw the embarrassed appearance of the fat man, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, where was there a trace of a man's spirit in his expression, which was clearly a girl's delicate appearance.
Guan Yi saw that the guards were about to squeeze into the crowd, and hurriedly said to the girl who was stunned: "Girl, you can't stay here for a long time, let's go quickly, so as not to make trouble!" ”
After speaking, he grabbed the wrist of the young man in white, turned around and squeezed into the crowd. Where did the young man in white think that Guan Yi would be like this, his heart jumped inexplicably, a touch of red flew on his white face, and he was involuntarily dragged away by Guan Yi.
After squeezing out of the crowd, Wu Zi could only hear the fat man's indistinct snort and the shouts of the guards behind him, Guan Yi pulled the young man in white and ran out of several streets in a row, and saw that no one behind him had caught up except for the Hu, so he stopped.
"Alright, it's okay!" Guan Yi took a breath, as long as he got rid of the guards, he was not worried that the imperial court would know that he, the general of the Fu Han who had only been enthroned by the heir two days before, had just fought with someone in the downtown area.
"You, your hand, let go of ......," the young man in white wrestled his arm and whispered. Guan Yi reacted at this time, and with an "ah" sound, he hurriedly let go of his hand.
"Girl, I'm sorry ......"
Guan Yi didn't say that it was okay, but when he said this, the young man in white frowned, his face was even more red as if he was about to drip water, and said angrily: "You already know my identity? ”
"This ......" Guan Yi secretly complained, this time it was troublesome, if she nodded, it would be tantamount to admitting the fact that she knew that she was her daughter, and pulling her hand just now seemed to be deliberately trying to take advantage of her, so she would inevitably misunderstand that she had bad intentions. Thinking about it in my head, my tongue was knotted for a while, and I didn't know what to say.
......Seeing Guan Yi's embarrassed appearance, the woman in white suddenly eased her originally tense pretty face, and said coquettishly: "Forget it, this girl has a lot, for the sake of your help just now, I won't care about you!" ”
Guan Yi scratched his scalp curtly, he was sixteen years old when he came to this era, according to the customs of this era, he had already reached the age of talking about marriage, if he hadn't chosen to train in the deep mountains of Zitong County, it was estimated that he would have had a group of children at this time. But I don't know how to do it, seeing that the woman in white will raise her eyebrows for a while, smile and smile for a while, and there is a charm between laughter and anger, and she is a little stupid for a while.
"What, you turned out to be a daughter?" Ehu's eyes widened, and his face was incredible.
The woman in white smiled, didn't answer, clapped her hands and turned to leave. Guan Yi was anxious and shouted, "Girl, haven't you asked the girl's name yet?" ”
"I won't tell you!" The woman in white tilted her head and giggled, made a grimace at Guan Yi, and in Guan Yi's stunned, she soon melted into the flow of people coming and going on the street.
Ehu glared at Guan Yi, then looked at the back of the woman in white leaving, and said in a rough voice: "Young master, that girl has already gone away!" ”
"Look back and smile!"
Guan Yi suddenly felt stunned in his heart, and glared at Ehu fiercely, making him inexplicable, seeing that Guan Yi was not in a high mood, but he didn't dare to ask. Guan Yi naturally didn't know Ehu's depression, and looked at the palm of his hand, as if the weak and boneless wrist of the woman in white was still in his hand, and it took a long time to retract his mind and beckon Ehu to return home.
