But he said that Shi Yong and I were detained by the Xiahou family bandits. Although they listened to my words and did not take my belongings, they now had to be sent to Handan with a shipload of goods and a dozen little girls. However, Shi Yong was a blessing in disguise and met a cute little girl who couldn't speak, and he only knew her surname Fang. I thought to myself, will she have any connection with the Fang family in Handan? But she couldn't speak, so there was probably no way to get any information from her, so I had to ask a dozen or so little girls aged eight or nine who were traveling with me.

The result was unexpected, they were all told that they were going to be sent to Fengyue Tower in Handan to be girls. I said in my heart, this is obviously selling my body! So I asked them if they knew what was going on there. They all said that it was a very large mansion with a great adult living in it, and they were all going to serve that man. I thought, what kind of adults can there be in Handan City? At most, it is the Xuanfu envoy of Hexi Road, and the third-grade official is only. Listening to their meaning, they were all selected by some big officials in the villages and towns, and their families were happy to send them away. The more I listened, the more strange I became, and I said, when will the imperial court allow officials to choose girls in villages and towns? Oh yes, it's the palace maid. However, listening to Emperor Cheng's meaning, he has been on the throne since he ascended the throne, and he still can't control the affairs of the harem, in other words, after these girls are selected by the big officials, they must be selected and trained by those powerful ministers before entering the palace! Thinking of this, I was covered in goosebumps, and said in my heart, I started the selection at the age of eight or nine, and finally trained to enter the palace at the age of fifteen or sixteen, which is enough to change a person, and finally became a secret agent and spy around Emperor Cheng, no wonder he likes Dong Zhentian's sister so much.

So I told Shi Yong that Miss Fang was also going to be a palace maid. As a result, he frowned and said: Impossible! If anyone takes the butterfly away, I will fight with him! I said: You save it! The original intention of her parents was to send her to the palace, is it possible, do you want to take her to the end of the world? Shi Yong nodded and said: If it is like that, it has to be like this! I shook my head and said: If you choose a palace maid, she is registered, how can you escape? Besides, since she can't speak, how can she be selected into the harem? Shi Yong heard and said: I see! Then I approached the little girl and saw that she seemed to be asleep. So I stabbed her gently, and Shi Yong grabbed me and said: A friend's wife can't be bullied! I shook my hand and said, "What do you think?" It's a mess!

As a result, the little girl opened her eyes. I leaned into her ear and said, "Little sister, don't worry, we are not spies." You tell us, are you going to choose a palace maid? Also, I know, you must pretend that you can't speak, and you must write, right? She shook her head in a daze. So I said: We have something big to do in Handan, if you are willing to help, we will take you away. Of course, I don't mean that, I mean that you don't have to do things you don't like to do, and no one bothered you afterwards, and your parents don't blame you. But believe it or not, we're going to do what we have to do anyway, and that's just to give you a chance. I paused to see her suspicious look, so I asked again: Then you can tell me, right? Are you going to choose a palace maid? Yes, he nodded. She shook her head. I was surprised when I saw it: Could it be that someone is carrying the banner of the imperial court, but actually doing the abduction and trafficking of young girls? She nodded. When Shi Yong heard this, he grabbed my shoulder and pushed it to the side: Don't worry! I'll protect you! Definitely won't hurt you!

I got up and patted my heart and said, "You're too excited!" So I walked over and pushed Shi Yong and said: I am also an official of the imperial court, so you can't be polite to me? Shi Yongdao: You, the life officer, are worthless in Hexi! I disdainfully said: worthless? Not necessarily! We are the emperor's order, we can cut it first and then play, which adult dares to abduct and sell your little lover, this adult will send him with a word, you still don't treat me well? Shi Yongdao: Just you return the emperor's order? No kidding, it's okay for you to fool those bandits, just stop talking nonsense here! I shook my head and said, "I don't talk nonsense." You'll find out later anyway. Since this is not good, I think we should be careful! When the time comes, don't be a lover and ignore your friends, just care about your little lover, and throw me aside! Shi Yongdao: I'll try my best! When the little girl saw us talking to herself, she lay down and fell asleep again. So Shi Yong and I also slept together.

I don't know how long I slept, but I felt droplets of water fall on my face. So I opened my eyes and saw that the little girl was sitting next to me, everyone else was asleep, and Shi Yong was also lying to the side. So I rubbed my eyes gently, and she whispered in my ear: Can you really save me? I nodded, and then pointed at Shi Yong and said: This brother is very powerful, one top hundred! She shook her head and said, "That's not what I mean, I mean, can you really avenge my grievances?" I was stunned for a moment, and then said: But I don't know what you have to do? She wept and said: My uncle and I got separated in the woods, so we were arrested! I said: What uncle, what forest? Tell me more clearly......

She pressed her little hand on her knee and said with tears in her eyes: I don't know either...... That day, my uncle took me to a man named Xiang Zhongquan and said that he had something to give him. As a result, we had a great time all the way, and after entering a wood, we suddenly met a group of people, more than thirty of them, and my uncle couldn't beat them, so he had to flee with me...... She snorted, and then continued: "Then we walked for a long time, and we came across a tiger, and my uncle had to leave me alone and lead the tiger away...... Her little hand rubbed her face a few more times, and then continued: Later...... Later, I couldn't wait for my uncle, and suddenly I heard the cry of a tiger, and I was afraid that my uncle would have an accident, so I ran over, but there was nothing there, and then I met a group of wild dogs, and they were afraid, so they ran desperately, but a dog bit people's clothes, and they couldn't walk, and when they were waiting for death, two people came out and scared them away with torches, so I was rescued by them......

I saw her pitiful appearance, and there was only half a handkerchief on her body, so I took it, and she wiped her tears when she picked it up, and then continued: I thought I was saved, but I heard them say in a daze that they would send me to Handan to be a singer, and I knew that I had met a bad person! Nowadays, people ...... People had to pretend that they couldn't speak, so that they wouldn't let people be singers...... I sat up and said, "Don't worry, we won't let you suffer anymore!" It's just that I heard that your surname is Fang, I don't know if it has anything to do with the Fang family in Handan?

Her eyes lit up and said: I am Fang Jinwen's youngest daughter Fang Caidie! I was taken aback when I heard it and said: Your name is really Caidie? She blushed and nodded. So Fang Caidie pinched her handkerchief and said: Now as long as you can help me escape and send me back to Fang's house, so that my family can find my uncle Fang Jinquan, they will definitely repay you! But now, it seems that there is little hope...... However, if you can find out who is the murderer who hurt us, they will definitely repay you! As he spoke, he was about to kowtow, but Shi Yong jumped up, grabbed her hand and said: Let's talk about it when we go out! Fang Caidie was startled, and I smiled: I told you that my brother is very powerful, and you will know when the time comes! So Fang Caidie withdrew her hand and said: Shi Gongzi's Meiyi little sister understands, it's just that you said before, people don't understand it very well, so you can't agree to you casually...... I looked at her and thought to myself, I really don't understand?

Shi Yong pursed his nose and said: That's not busy! Now find a way to escape! I pulled him and said: When we get to Handan, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for us to get out, but it's not appropriate to be too far away...... Shi Yongdao: That's not easy? Once the boat is near Handan, we will jump into the water and leave...... Fang Caidie pouted and said: People don't know water! Shi Yong was stunned for a moment, and Fang Caidie continued: The river transportation is controlled by the Xiahou family, there is a water village here every twenty miles, and there is a sentry post in five miles, and there are water bandits patrolling from time to time, where do you flee to? Shi Yong said: It's a big deal that Handan has come ashore, so I will fight in all directions and send you out! Fang Caidie said: Where is it so easy? Handan is the nest of the Xiahou family, even if it is tens of thousands of officers and soldiers, there is nothing to be done, how can you send us out alone? Shi Yong lowered his head and held it for a long time.

Fang Caidie looked at me and said: Do you have any way? I was stunned and said, where can I do it? Fang Caidie asked: You said you were an official? I nodded, "Yes!" She thought for a moment and said, "But really? I nodded again. She pointed her finger at her face and said: That's it, get off the boat and ask to see that Xiahou Chun directly, if they don't want to, you will say that it is an official of the imperial court, although in Handan, it is useless to be an official, but for the sake of the 100,000 troops on Hexi Road, we will still be given a chance to meet!

I wondered: Since it is not useful, what can I do when I see Xiahou? Fang Caidie said: As long as you tell them that I am Fang Jinwen's daughter, everything will be easy to say! When the time comes, you can write to my father, and at most I will give some silver, so I don't have to be sold to be a singer...... Shi Yongdao: Then why didn't you say it at the beginning? Fang Caidie blinked her eyes and said: How many of those water bandits are reliable? Only Xiahou Chun, the old thief, can talk about morality, otherwise I would have been killed before I even saw anyone! I shook my head and said, "That is to say, with your Fang family, I still can't protect you?" She nodded and said: There is a feud with each other, and many of their subordinates have an enmity with us, so we can only save our lives by seeing Xiahou Chun! I groaned. Shi Yongdao: Don't worry, if they don't let you see you, or if it's not good for you, I will definitely protect you! Fang Caidie looked at him for a while, then turned around and lay down to sleep. So we had to lie down, Shi Yong whispered: It looks weak, why doesn't it sound like you don't want to at all? I said in my heart that this is the helplessness of being born in a big family, and I can't experience the joy of being a child at all.

We didn't know how long we stayed in the boat, we ate and slept every day, and that Fang Caidie didn't speak, and continued to pretend to be dumb. But Shi Yong is still very attentive, she wants water, as long as she blinks her eyes, Shi Yong will immediately bring it over. I don't want to pay attention to him, so I play some games with those little girls, and I said in my heart, if it is really a palace maid, the fate is not good, if it is as Fang Caidie said, it will be even more bitter, let them be happy! And so it went on for a few days.

On this day, the big man finally came down to the bottom of the boat, and saw that we were all together, and we were all in good spirits, so he said, "Get up!" It's time to Handan! Come with me! As he spoke, he led the way, and a few of us followed. As soon as I arrived on the board, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the scenery on both sides of the strait was picturesque, I stretched my waist and said: This is Handan? Big Dao: No! This is the water village of our Xiahou family, from here, go over there, he pointed and continued: It is Fengyue Tower, the girls make boats and take this road, as for you, you have to go that way, go to the warehouse in Handan City to work, and take a boat with me!

No way! Shi Yong leaned over and said. What did you say? The big one glared, and more than a dozen water bandits came over on both sides. Fang Caidie stabbed me in the waist. So I walked over and said: A few, a few uncles are all resting, they are all out to mix, no one is easy, right! Don't be so angry, my brother didn't mean that! Big Dao: Then he said he wouldn't go? I arched my hand and said: Go! Of course, I went, but not to the warehouse, but to ...... The big one was stunned and said: What, you kid wants to join the gang? I looked back at Fang Caidie and continued: The kid has this heart, but the situation does not allow it. You see, we are also court officials, and it is too embarrassing to be a miscellaneous servant......

The man was stunned and said, "Huh? Imperial court officials? You? As he spoke, he looked around me a few times, and the bandits around him laughed. So I took out the official slip and handed it over. As soon as he took it, I asked, "Brother should be literate, right?" He glanced at me when he heard it, and then opened it in his hand to see that it was an official of the third grade, covered with a jade seal. He was surprised, studied it with a few brothers nearby, and then turned around and asked: You said that you are an official, why were you arrested by us by the river? I arched my hand and said: I am going to return to Beijing for a private trip, and I am not entangled enough, so I am offended! The big one glanced at me and said: Then, I have to show this to our heads, and a few of you will be locked up in the firewood room first, if it's fake, hum! I arched my hand and said: Just look at it! Take your time! With a wave of his hand, a few subordinates locked me, Shi Yong and Fang Caidie in one place.

Shi Yong worried: Brother, is your certificate real? Fang Caidie said on the side: Look at the jade chapter, there will be no fake. I was stunned for a moment and asked: Why, Miss Fang knows the jade chapter? Fang Caidie said: Grandfather Fanghua, who received the empty official of the first emperor's three products, and the holy decree is now enshrined in my ancestral hall, so I recognize it. Shi Yong exclaimed: Brother Nie, are you really an official? I nodded and said, "I said, did you always disbelieve it?" Shi Yong touched his head and said: We have not been an official in Shijia Village for several lifetimes, and it is easy to be promoted, and there is no way to do it after the Beijing test, so we have been idle. Who would have thought that you would be such a big official at such a young age? I thought to myself, if I told you that I had a brother who was the emperor, wouldn't I scare you to death?

Fang Caidie pouted and said: It's a third-grade official, so it's locked up in the firewood room? I just saw your grandson, who can I control in the future? As soon as I heard it, there was sarcasm in her words, so I stood up and rolled up my sleeves and said: People are chopping boards, we are fish and meat, do you think I am willing to do this? I think that in Cangzhou back then, we also fought and killed the enemy, and faced hundreds of thousands of troops, how do you think I am cowardly?

Really? She rolled her eyes and looked at me. I sat down and ignored her, but Shi Yong came over and said, "You really fought?" I nodded and said, "What's wrong?" He said enviously: Do you want people like me in the court? It's not good to do anything else, it's still good to fight! When I heard this, I looked at him with squinted eyes and said, "Why are you so sophisticated as a child?" Shi Yongdao: Who doesn't want to be a big official and glorify their ancestors? What's more, if you are a dignified man, if you don't strive for fame, how can you seal your wife and son? Saying that, she looked at Fang Caidie, so Fang Caidie covered her ears with her little hands and sat down next to the haystack, shook her head and closed her eyes. So we didn't speak, Shi Yong sat silently on the side and kept peeking at the young lady of the Fang family.

After about an hour, the door opened. A burly man of twenty-four or five years old came in, he was wearing a soft armor, a sword pinned to his waist, and a black gauze hat on his head. I immediately got up and said, "Don't dare!" Brother Tai is...... He replied: In Xia Xiahou Lin, Xiahou Chun is his father. I arched my hand and said: It turned out to be Xiahou Gongzi, who was disrespectful! Xiahou Lin asked: Who are these two...... I pointed a little and said: They are all retinues, they want to return to Beijing, passing through the treasure land, there are many offenses, and I really forgive my sins! Xia Houlin smiled and said: It's just me who makes it difficult, what's the fault of the adults? Now that I have notified my father, I will invite my adults to go down to Fengyue Tower, one can see my father, and the other is to catch the wind for adults, and I hope that Lord Nie will appreciate his face? I glanced at Fang Caidie, so I arched my hand and said: This is very good, please Brother Xiahou lead the way! So he was in front and led us into a small boat with a shed, and there were several ships nearby to escort us, and we headed for Fengyue Tower.

I sat opposite Xiahou Lin in the boat, Shi Yong sat on the right hand side, and Fang Caidie sat on the left hand side. Xia Houlin asked: I haven't asked the two of you yet...... Shi Yong arched his hand and said: In Xiashijia Village, Shi Yong, thirteen years old, has long heard of the name of Xiahou Lin's son, and he is fortunate to see it today, and he is really heroic! Fang Caidie squinted her eyes and said: You are still so sophisticated! Shi Yong panicked: It's true! In the entire Hexi, who doesn't know that Xiahou's family has a unicorn, both civil and military, and an invincible whip all over the world! Xia Houlin arched his hand and said: Brother is too famous! I took a sip of tea and nodded: But I don't know if Dou Yunpeng's double whip can beat you...... Xiahou Lin was shocked and said: Do you know Dou Yunpeng? It is the son of Dou Ying of the Black Flag Army of the former dynasty! When I heard this, I was stunned and said, "How do you know him?" I said in my heart, how can he spread to Hexi if he became famous in Cangzhou within a month?

Xiahou Lin said: Dou Yunpeng is my junior brother, and we studied together in White Wolf Mountain! Shi Yong was surprised: So your master is really the famous martial arts master Yun Zhongzi from the previous dynasty? Xia Houlin nodded and said: Not bad! However, the master is strict in accepting apprentices, and hundreds of people have not passed his assessment, I heard that in addition to me and Senior Brother Dou, there is also a senior brother and senior sister. But we haven't seen each other, because the master has always been taught separately, and later I heard that there was also a junior sister. Anyway, I know, the master will probably only have five of us apprentices in his life. I said happily: It turns out that Brother Tai turned out to be Dou Yunpeng's senior brother! That's great, I'm relieved! Xiahou Lin said: But I don't know how Senior Brother Dou is doing now? Back then, I didn't see the White Wolf Mountain for four or five years. I arched my hand and said: Let my junior brother and father return to our dynasty together, and no longer live a wandering life, and he has also become the deputy commander of Jinyi Guard, the military general of the three products! Xiahou Lin was surprised: That is to say, the general surnamed Dou who rebelled in Dongguang half a month ago and collected troops back to Cangzhou was their father and son? I nodded, and he took a big sip of tea excitedly: this is a man! Took another big sip.

At this time, Fang Caidie held her face and looked outside. Shi Yong immediately poured her a glass and said: Caidie, you can drink it too! She suddenly turned her face and said: No big or small! Colorful butterflies are also called by you! Shi Yong was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that I didn't provoke her! As a result, Xia Houlin asked: Who is this young lady...... Fang Caidie said: My surname is Fang! Xia Houlin immediately stood up and said: Caiyun is your sister? Fang Caidie glanced at him and said, "Is Caiyun your name?" My sister is right, they are all dead, and they hate to die! As he spoke, he leaned on the edge of the table and tilted his head to get angry.

Xia Houlin touched his head and said, "How could Lord Nie go with Miss Fang Er?" I spread my hands and said: It's just an accident. Well, it's the first time she's heard of a sister who has another sister. Xia Houlin sat down and said: Her sister is amazing, she is the most beautiful in Hexi, and now she is eighteen years old, and she is still waiting for the boudoir, but it's a pity...... Fang Caidie raised her head and said: It's a pity that there is nothing wrong with you! My sister has been interested in someone for a long time!

Are you sure? Who is it? Xia Houlin said curiously.

What's this...... I heard that your Xiahou family has a throat-moistening drink, which is very precious! People want to try it! She narrowed her eyes.

Xia Houlin then called the bandits of the nearby ships to bring a box. When he opened it, there was a jar of soup inside, and he scooped out four large bowls and invited us to taste it. When I looked at it, it seemed to be pear juice, and Emperor Cheng invited Dong Feixue to drink it. However, this pear juice is refrigerated under the boat, which is particularly refreshing. Fang Caidie and I both tasted spoonfuls spoonful, Xia Houlin watched from the sidelines, and Shi Yong drank it all, then pursed his lips and said: It's delicious! Fang Caidie glanced at him and said: You drink so fast, be careful of diarrhea! I said: No, this thing is very good, I have tasted it from the emperor before, and I won't have diarrhea.

Oh? So the emperor is really in Cangzhou? Have you seen it yet? Xia Houlin said curiously.

Yes, your junior brother is a meritorious service in Cangzhou, so he was awarded the third grade. I mumbled.

So how do you do the three-rank official? Fang Caidie tilted her head and looked at me and said: Look at you, you are ordinary, and you don't seem to know kung fu, you won't go through the back door! I was shocked and said that although Dong Feixue is not my relative, it can be regarded as a back door. Seeing that I didn't answer, Fang Caidie asked Shi Yong: Don't you always say how powerful you are? Shi Yong didn't know what she meant, so he nodded. So she clapped her little hands and said: Then do you dare to compete with Xiahou Lin, if you lose, I will tell him who my sister's crush is? Xia Houlin was shocked, and said in her heart that this little girl is very ghostly, how do you know that I like her sister?

What if I win? Shi Yong asked rhetorically.

Then I'll ...... I'm going to give you something! As she spoke, she looked up at him with a cute face.
