Chapter 5 Exquisite chess pieces
With the confession, I walked towards Qi Fengxuan, because I really wanted to see my righteous daughter Roulan, somehow, I always felt that she was a spirit under the fragrant spring, and sent it to my daughter, and hurriedly returned to Qi Fengxuan, I saw His Royal Highness King Yongwang sitting there, teasing Xiao Roulan.
I stepped forward and saluted, 'Your Highness has been waiting for a long time, and the minister was busy cross-examining the confession just now, and he didn't know that His Highness was here. β
Li Zhen smiled and said, "I heard that Mr. has taken in a righteous daughter and came to visit, how is the situation?" β
I smiled and said, "Your Highness, the minister has discovered the power of the Splendid Alliance in Dayong, and has already interrogated it clearly, although after a night, there will inevitably be some changes, but it is easy to catch them all. β
Li Zhen looked at me with some hesitation, and I said clearly: "Your Highness's meaning, the minister understands, the Splendid Alliance is now mainly raging in Shuzhong and Southern Chu, and Dayong is still a place for them to recuperate, so His Highness wants to keep the Splendid Alliance for the time being." β
Li Zhen smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, it's not a secret, the king has known about the existence of the Splendid Alliance for a long time, but he hasn't asked about it for the time being, but they are so arrogant and raging now, if it is spread out in the future, if it is spread that Dayong has supported them, I am afraid that the hearts of Dayong in Dongchuan and Shuzhong will be completely finished." β
I bowed down and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, the minister already has a plan to let go of some of the forces of the Splendid Alliance, but he must first eradicate all their forces in Chang'an, so that it will be impossible for him to involve Dayong in the future." β
King Yong said: "It's okay, so as not to be taken advantage of by them when the situation in Chang'an is chaotic, after all, they and Dayong are also enemies, I have some information in my hand, plus the confession you got, it should be enough, this king will order encirclement and suppression." β
I shook my head and said: "A small splendid alliance, what credit does His Highness have to eradicate it, if Your Highness is at ease, please let the minister plan, not only to get rid of the power of the Splendid Alliance in Chang'an, but also to realize the minister's heart-splitting strategy." β
King Yong's eyes flashed, and he said, "Since this king has granted full power, please ask the gentleman to preside, and where you need the support of this king, even if you say it clearly." β
I smiled and thanked, then King Yong looked at Roulan, and said: "Mr. is alone, Ling Yan is young, it is always inappropriate to have no mother to take care of her, the princess has been sad during this time, the son is going to Youzhou, and the knees are empty, if Mr. does not dislike it, it is better to let the princess take care of Roulan, so as not to worry about Mr." β
I thought about it for a moment and said, 'It's just that it's not convenient for the minister to see the little girl.' β
King Yong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, if Mr. misses his daughter, let Xiao Shunzi go to the princess to pick her up." β
I thought that Xiao Shunzi had no scruples about going in and out of the inner house, which was a good idea, so he said: "Then the minister will thank Your Highness, the princess will definitely be able to raise the little girl into a famous lady, please thank the princess on behalf of the minister." β
King Yong looked at me for a moment and said, "Sir is twenty-six years old this year, why is he still alone, and he should have a family." β
King Yong's words caused pain in my heart, and I was silent for a long time before I said, 'The minister already had a fiancΓ©e, but she died before the marriage was consummated. β
King Yong was stunned for a moment, and said: "This king doesn't know, but marrying a wife and having children is filial piety, and Mr. can't always be so lonely, if he has a heart, this king should ask the princess to find a virtuous woman for Mr., I don't know what Mr. wants." β
I smiled with relief and said, "The minister's surname was originally casual, but he didn't put on his hair and entered the mountain, and he didn't want to let down the good women of others, so please don't bother Your Highness." β
King Yong shook his head, sighed and said, "Let's talk about these things later, sir go and get busy, this king believes that sir will give this king a satisfactory result." β
I saluted and said, 'Your Highness can rest assured, without His Highness, you can insert your own henchmen by the side of the prince. β
Xia Jinyi felt that he had never been so afraid, his surname was frivolous, but sometimes he was too impulsive, so he offended the elders of the division, was kicked out of the door wall, and wanted to enter through Guanzhonglian, but he offended Miss Jiang again, and had no choice but to ask for help from a senior brother, his senior brother's surname is Fangzheng, but he has a good relationship with him, and now he is the head of the guard in the prince's mansion, he has no choice but to ask for the recommendation of his senior brother, otherwise, he has neither the ability to take the imperial examination, nor the ability to go into battle to kill the enemy, what to rely on to ask for a background. It's a pity that he didn't have time to meet with his senior brother, he was blocked by Guan Zhonglian, and he had no choice but to flee with a plan, who knew that he was the Sima of Yongwangfu, which originally made him very discouraged, but the senior brother told himself that if His Royal Highness the Prince knew about it, he would definitely leave himself, so as to sweep the face of Yongwangfu, he was ecstatic, he couldn't help but drink a few more glasses, and returned to the inn but was very happy and sad, and was subdued by a sneak attack, those people didn't know what the origin was, and tied themselves up strongly, He used fine steel to lock his hands, gagged his mouth, put it in the box and carried it away, and when he couldn't feel the bumps, but no one came to release him, he was tied up for so long, Xia Jinyi only felt that his limbs were numb, his blood was blocked, and the biggest pain was that he could only bend his body, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to straighten it, which made him feel extremely painful, if he could straighten his body, he was even willing to pay any price, in other words, his will had collapsed.
Finally there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, someone opened the box, the man was holding an oil lamp in his hand, the light fell on Xia Jinyi's face, Xia Jinyi subconsciously closed his eyes, so as not to be hurt by the light because of the darkness for a long time. After a while, Xia Jinyi opened his eyes and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him, who looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, and he seemed to be looking at him curiously. Xia Jinyi's eyes revealed the meaning of pleading and inquiry. The young man said lightly: "Villain Chiji, I was ordered to come to deal with Xia Gongzi, if Xia Gongzi can't get the villain's approval, he will be buried here, if he is lucky to pass, he can see my master, Xia Gongzi, if you shout loudly, the villain will have to kill you immediately, so please be careful with your own respect." With that, the young man put the oil lamp on a table in the room, and stepped forward to take out the silk scarf in Xia Jinyi's mouth. Xia Jinyi took a deep breath and said, "Please let me out first, if I don't stretch my body, Xia is afraid that he will be crippled." Seeing the enemy, Xia Jinyi's sanity gradually recovered, he was ready to start fighting wits with the enemy, although his enemy turned out to be a teenager and strange, but Xia Jinyi knew very well that the most terrible things on the rivers and lakes were monks, women and children, so he didn't have any contempt in his heart.
The young man smiled slightly, lifted Xia Jinyi out of the box, and put him on the ground, so that although Xia Jinyi was still firmly bound, he could already stretch his body, he let out a comfortable moan from his mouth, closed his eyes, and seemed to want to sleep well.
The young man smiled, kicked Xia Jinyi, and said, "Brother, have you forgotten something?" Is your life still in my hands? β
Xia Jinyi opened his eyes, with a comfortable expression on his face, and said, "Little brother, Xia is just a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, if you are not useful to me, why bother to tie me up so much?" I think if my brother kills me casually, maybe he will be punished? β
The young man suddenly sat on the ground and said to this Xia Jinyi: "You are not bad, but unfortunately my master's surname is arrogant, if it is a waste of snacks, he will never use it, so you have to persuade me to take you to see the master, if you don't convince me, it is nothing if I kill you, anyway, you are not the only candidate." β
Xia Jinyi's heart sank, he saw that although this young man was young, he spoke very sophisticatedly, and he didn't seem to be moved at all when it came to killing, so he tentatively said: "Little brother is young, but has he killed a lot of people?" β
Chiji smiled and said: "Don't dare to hide it, in order to save his surname, the kid also killed ** people, and later served the master, men, women and children have been killed, the most pitiful thing is that once we had to kill a lot of innocent people, including a few women and children, to be honest, I really didn't want to kill at the beginning, but who let them stay where they shouldn't be, only once, the kid didn't kill anyone, but they didn't live." Chi Ji said vaguely, but there was no lie, when the secret camp was trained, they often needed to duel each other, if there were too many defeats, they would be sent away by the erasure of their memories, they later said that these people were dead, losing the memory of the secret camp, for them, it was really better to live than to die, as for the Tianji Pavilion, killing people was inevitable, only the last time Liang Wan did, he didn't kill anyone, but since only Princess Changle and the stupid Liang Wan escaped, it was not merciful.
Xia Jinyi could hear the seriousness in Chiji's tone and the slightest hint of showing off, and knew that he had really met the little demon star who killed people without blinking, and he reluctantly smiled: "I see, then Xia is far inferior to the little brother, although Xia has the name of a prodigal son in the rivers and lakes, but there are not many people who kill, after all, the martial arts are not high, and it is more troublesome to kill, I don't know how the little brother is willing to let Xia go?" β
Chi Ji thought for a while and said: "This is difficult, although I don't have money, but I don't lack silver when I want to spend it, although my martial arts are not high, but it is enough, if you say glory and wealth, although everyone loves it, but I am still young, is it not too late to fight for it in ten years?" Later, his tone gradually became cold, Chi Ji took out a small dagger from his arms, gestured at Xia Jinyi's throat, and said with a smile: "Okay, you say, what benefits can you give me?" β
Xia Jinyi hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't worry, Xia has an idea, see that the little brother is fifteen or sixteen years old, the children of big families should get married, look at the little brother's extraordinary bearing, even if you are not from everyone's background, you have to marry a charming lady, otherwise wouldn't it be a pearl to the dark, Xia has no other ability, when it comes to pursuing girls, it is not said, and there is absolutely no one more than I know about the outstanding beauties in this big country, if the little brother is interested, you might as well let Xia give you advice and marry a beautiful lady." β
Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi for a long time, burst out laughing, and said, "Seeing that you are being chased and killed by Miss Jiang running for your life, I can't see that you still have such a ability, okay, let me hear your idea." β
Xia Jinyi breathed a sigh of relief, he could see that Chiji's murderous aura had dissipated, so he smiled and said: "Little brother, you can't belittle me, if you want to say, Miss Jiang is good, but you must not marry a wife?" I just stole her belly pocket and chased me everywhere. β
Chi Ji's mouth opened wide when he heard this, and he looked at Xia Jinyi and said, "You stole hers, hers." β
Xia Jinyi smiled and said: "What's so strange about that, Lao Tzu, no, this son just doesn't like it, a little girl, provoked the young men up and down the Guan Zhonglian to follow the butt and pursue it, Lao Tzu is so chic, this chick is very happy to listen to my nonsense all day long, if you cross the thunder pool a little, she will put on a late girl's face, isn't it just because she is a disciple of Fengyimen, so Lao Tzu Suo used incense to stun her, and personally went to her boudoir to steal her belly pocket, haha, let her chase Lao Tzu didn't dare to explain the reason. Little brother, Lao Tzu tells you, the girls of Fengyimen can't marry, usually all of them are ice and jade, all rely on their posture to seduce men, I don't believe it, a girl doesn't have a hint, so many men will pursue you to the death, and they want to capture the old man than anyone else, Lao Tzu's kung fu in pursuing beautiful women is far worse than their ability to seduce men. The most hateful thing is that if you really succeed, you will usually be obedient to you, if you don't follow her wishes, it will be a blink of an eye to turn your face with you, telling you that even marrying an illiterate village girl is better than marrying those female disciples of Fengyimen. β
Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi, who was talking in a daze, and said, "I heard you say that it is so terrible, you have encountered such a thing. β
Xia Jinyi was stunned for a moment, his expression suddenly changed greatly, and he said after a while: "No, no, I'm just a prodigal son of the rivers and lakes, and the female disciples of the Fengyi Sect are either married to an official eunuch family or a martial arts family, where can I have anything to do with it." β
Chi Ji looked at Xia Jinyi's embarrassed face and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I have something to do with Fengyimen?" β
Xia Jinyi's cold sweat immediately flowed, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, and said with a smile: "How can it, although Fengyimen may drive some men, but with such a demeanor and temperament, the little brother should not be a person who is obsessed with beauty." He muttered in his heart, why wouldn't Fengyimen put his hand on the body of the half-grown child?
Chi Ji smiled faintly and said: "Since you don't like Fengyimen, why do you want to take refuge in the prince, who doesn't know that the prince and Fengyimen are people in the same boat, and King Yong and Fengyimen are not compatible?" β
Xia Jinyi said with a bitter face: "Little brother, as the saying goes, dress and eat, but the major events in life, you said that I can't plow the fields and farm, and I can't go into battle to kill the enemy, and I want to be a bodyguard and protect the courtyard, but my surname looks good, and people can't look down on it when they see it, if you are a robber and snitch, to say something unpleasant, Dayong's head hunting is not very easy to deal with, and my martial arts are not very strong, I am afraid that I will go to the prison to eat idle food in a few years." As for taking refuge in King Yong, I'm afraid Xia doesn't have this blessing, King Yong has to be a capable person, this, I'm afraid I can't get in, the prince is much easier, in fact, I originally wanted to take refuge in King Qi, I heard that King Qi likes Fengyue place the most, maybe I can still get King Qi's appreciation, but when I came to Chang'an, I heard that although King Qi likes to go to Mazhangtai, but the people around me are warriors who have gone through bloody battles on the battlefield, and people like me can't do it. β
Chi Ji thought for a while and said: "You are right, people in the martial arts like small martial arts when they practice martial arts, and you Kongtong is a Qimen martial arts-based sect, if you go to the battlefield, you are afraid that you will not be an ordinary general, and not everyone likes the military, your surname is so cynical, I am afraid that you will be engaged in military law in a few days in the army." β
Xia Jinyi agreed: "Yes, although I don't have any skills, I still know that I still have it, if I can stay in the prince's mansion for a few years, it should be better than wandering the rivers and lakes." β
Chi Ji looked at him, and finally smiled easily, and said: "Although I don't think it's good to let you go, but I really don't want to kill you, okay, I think you can go to see my master, remind you, my master is usually kind and kind, but once you get serious, you'd better die a happy death." β
Xia Jinyi suddenly smiled and said, "Thank you little brother for reminding me, Xia has always been very knowledgeable about current affairs." β
At this time, I was in another room, and finally couldn't help laughing, and hearing Xia Jinyi's words through the brass pipe made me feel very happy, and then Xiao Shunzi suddenly laughed too, and I asked him: 'Why, you also think he is very interesting.' β
Xiao Shunzi couldn't help but laugh and said, "Childe, the slave said something presumptuous, he is very similar to you, if it weren't for Childe's talent, I think he is really like you." β
I was a little annoyed, but after thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh again, thinking that this was the case, I was more interested in Xia Jinyi, and I was more confident that my plan would succeed.
A moment later, Xia Jinyi was escorted in by Chiji, and Chiji untied his shackles, so he could walk in by himself, but he was too smart not to resist, otherwise he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to walk in front of me. After more than ten hours of torture, he was now not only hungry, but also disheveled, and his handsome face was stained with dust. Walked in with difficulty, Chi Ji gently pushed him, he looked up and saw the man in Tsing Yi sitting behind the bookcase and the handsome servant standing behind him, and then knelt down very obediently, and whispered: "The grass people knock on Lord Sima." β
I looked at him a little differently, although he had seen me from afar, but I was a little surprised to remember me, I smiled and said: "Xia Gongzi, you are from Kongtong, I don't think you will make any big mistakes, why were you expelled from the school?" β
Xia Jinyi looked up at me and asked very directly: "My lord, I don't know what the villain can serve, if the villain can do it, it is not too late for the adult to interrogate again, if not, the villain does not want to talk about the past to anyone casually." β
I looked at him seriously again, and said lightly: "I need a chess piece, and it is better that this chess piece has its own mind, in other words, I want a smart and exquisite chess piece, and you are very suitable." β
Xia Jinyi showed a bright smile and said, "Then can I not die?" β
I also laughed and said, 'If you are smart enough, not only do you not have to die, but after the deed is done, I will give you a way out.' β
The two of us looked at each other and laughed, when a faint voice drifted into my ears, and it was the voice of Xiao Shunzi who said, 'You two are really alike.' β
I couldn't help but glance at Xiaoshunzi, although the sound transmission is very useful, but it doesn't have to be used to bully me all the time.
