"Yue shaved his head and finally left, young master, I'm almost suffocating to death these days."

In a spacious garden, a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, dressed in gorgeous clothes, danced and turned around as if he had met some great joy.

Behind Childe, followed by four servants, no matter where Childe goes, they will not leave him.

Childe seemed to be a little annoyed, and shouted impatiently: "You guys are not annoyed, this is my own home, I need to walk two steps in the yard, do you still follow like a ghost hooking death!" ”

"Young master, the chief butler has an order, let us follow you every inch, and don't let you run out of the door, otherwise you will kill us. So...... Please forgive me, young master......" A servant said very aggrieved.

"At this time, at that time, now that Yue's head has been shaved away, what are you afraid of. You guys go cool, don't sweep the master's surname. I've been suffocating these days, and today I have to go out for a good walk and find some rations for my little darling. The young man said happily.

"Childe, the big housekeeper hasn't spoken yet, saying that you will let you out of the house, you still ......"

Before the servant could finish his words, he heard a "snap" and received a loud slap.

"! Who says it in this house, he said that he is a housekeeper when it comes to heaven, I am the son of the house, my father is not there, just what I say. Don't you feel comfortable looking for it, do you think that if he can kill you, I won't be able to kill you! Childe said angrily.

"Childe...... The little ones don't dare ...... Just ......"

"It's just nothing, young master, I'm going to go out for a walk now, if you want to follow, follow it, and if you don't want to follow, stay away from me." Childe said, but walked towards his bedroom.

Entering the room, Childe walked to the bedside, opened the curtain, and turned out a piece of agate from under the quilt, this agate stone can be the size of a baby, but it looks very strange, very similar to the rakshasa offered in the temple. The color of the agate is also very strange, the lower half is red, blood red, this color is the same as blood. The upper half is transparent, crystal clear, and you can see the underneath the quilt through it.

Childe took out a box from under the bed, as if it was specially made for this agate, and packed it inside, just the right size. Childe put the agate inside, fastened the lock, wrapped it in a layer of cloth, and walked out with his left arm between them.

The servant didn't dare to enter the room with him, but he seemed to understand what Childe meant, and hurriedly cried and begged: "Childe, don't you go out, didn't Master also speak, without his permission, if you dare to go out without permission, interrupt ......"

"Fart! I am his own son, how can he give it up, that is to say. Get out of here, or I'll blame me for being rude to you!" ”

"Childe......" The servant shouted nervously, looking at the posture, he almost knelt down and kowtowed to Childe, but he did not back down at all.

Seeing that they did not retreat, Childe suddenly put his right hand into his arms, took out a wooden pole and put it on his mouth, and blew it gently. "Woo......"

Hearing the son's whistle, the four servants were startled, and hurriedly retreated, and at this moment, in the dry well not far away, five or six people came out of the fish, and looking at the posture, some people continued to drill out. These people are all in strong suits, and they all carry guys on their backs. After coming out, one by one they bowed and bowed their hands, "I don't know what the son is calling." ”

"Follow me out, whoever dares to stop him will break his legs!"

Childe's voice was very loud, and as soon as the voice fell, the four servants were frightened and retreated. At this time, no one continued to drill from the well, and there were thirteen of them.

Seeing the fear on the servant's face, Childe snorted triumphantly and said, "Go!" ”

After speaking, he walked towards the moon gate on the left, thirteen men, guarding the left and right. But at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in front of him, "If I stop it, will Childe break my legs too!" ”

As soon as he heard this voice, before the son turned around, the thirteen men had already turned around. I saw a middle-aged scribe, slowly walking towards them, although there were many men, it could be seen that this middle-aged scribe had a face showing fear.

At this moment, the son also turned around, with a smile on his face, and said carefully: "Uncle Tian, what are you talking about, how dare the little nephew be disrespectful to you." ”

The middle-aged scribe was none other than Wentian. Asking the sky, his face sank like water, and said: "Childe, although Yue Su is gone now, it is only temporary, and he will come back as soon as the Longmen meeting is over in a few days." If you go out today, once you provoke something wrong, and come back and be sued, I'm afraid that the master won't be able to protect you. You must know that this Yue Su is a famous six relatives who don't recognize it! ”

"Uncle Tian, I know. I didn't see him these days, I didn't always stay at home obediently, and I didn't even dare to go out of the door, so you let me go out to breathe. Childe's tone to Wentian seemed to have an element of pleading.

"If it's just to get out and breathe, what are you doing with the blood agate? Don't think that I don't know your thoughts, but I guessed that as soon as you heard that Yue Su and the old man left Kaifeng, you would want to go out and cause trouble, so I came here on purpose. Don't you know how many people have died for this piece of blood agate, I told you a long time ago, it's just a legend, it can't be true, why are you so persistent? Birth, old age, sickness and death are the cycles of heaven and cannot be changed. Moreover, this thing is a hoodoo thing, and none of those who get it will end well, and I advise you not to follow in their footsteps. Wen Tian's tone was flat, but with an air of majesty.

Childe still smiled and said, "Uncle Tian, then I won't take it out, if I don't go out to make trouble, can't you just let me go out to breathe?" ”

"When did you go out, don't cause trouble at home, there used to be Gong Naisen in front of you, everything is okay, he has now been a substitute for you as a ghost, if something happens again, how can it be good. Also, there are two of the seven people who know about this, and they don't die, they are always a scourge, so you'd better stay at home. ”

Although Wen Tian said this, his tone was obviously softer, and Gongzi seized the opportunity and begged: "Uncle Tian, otherwise, I won't go out with blood agate, and I promise not to cause trouble, so I will go outside the city to run horses and take a turn in the surrounding counties and towns. ”

Hearing Childe say this, Wentian hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "It's okay if you want to go out, but I want to send a few people to follow you, remind you at all times, don't make trouble." Also, your group must be restrained, even if it is a small thing, it may harm the whole family. Okay, leave your stuff behind and get out there to breathe. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Tian." Childe smiled and nodded, handed the box to the man next to him, the man knotted, walked to the dry well in a few steps, jumped down, and after a while, came up empty-handed.

This effort, Wen Tian clapped his hands, and soon two people walked out of the moon gate on the other side. These two people are both young girls, and if you look closely, they are Zimei and Hanlian.

The second daughter walked up to Wentian, bowed down and said, "Master." ”

Wentian nodded and said, "You two go out with Gongzi to breathe." After saying that, he turned away, said no more, and turned away.

"Yes, Master." The second daughter agreed and walked towards the son.

Childe arched his hand at Wentian's back and said, "I know that Uncle Tian is facing me." Not only did he promise to let me out, but he also sent two girls who were like flowers and jade to serve, thank you, thank you. ”

Wen Tian didn't say a word, and walked out along the moon gate where Zimei and Hanlian came.

Childe also turned around, beckoned, and said, "Let's go!" ”

This son, like an ordinary gentleman, is also proficient in eating, drinking, and gambling. However, this Zou Gongzi also has one of his biggest hobbies, which is horse running. Childe Soma is also famous, but this seems to be his only strength.

In the past, there were opponents in the race, and there was nothing to bet on, and today was no exception. Gongzi has a good opponent, this opponent not only has a lot of horses in the family, but also has a lot of wealth, which can be called the leader in Kaifeng City. A person who can have such a status naturally belongs to the King of Zhou in Kaifeng City.

Yes, this friend of the son is the son of King Zhou - Zhu Gongfang. For the name of the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once set a strict rule, that is, in the name of his descendants, there must be five elements, that is, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. And the word in the middle fan is also stipulated. For example, the first branch of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di, Fan "Gao Zhan Qi Jianyou, Hou Zai Yi Changyou, Ci and Yi Bozhong, Jian Jingdi Xianyou", and then added a word with five radicals. The branch of King Zhou, Fan's is "there is a son and peace, the Qin Dynasty is in Sugong, Shaolun is Huirun, and Zhaoge Guangdengyong is Yong".

Zhu Gongfang is also a typical gentleman, of course, such vassal kings and princes in the Ming Dynasty are like this, you are idle, eating, drinking, gambling, not only no fault, but also called the virtuous king. The reason is very simple, as long as you don't learn what King Yan and his old man are doing to rebel, you can play as much as you want. However, this is only limited to the city, the Ming Dynasty was very strict with the management of the vassal king, and if you want to go out of the city to sweep the tombs, you have to ask for a decree, let alone go out to play. Once it is discovered that a vassal king or clan has left the city without authorization, and the magistrate has not played, the clan vassal king is likely to be cut down or entered into the clan's mansion, and the magistrate will have to be unlucky.

But theoretically, this is the case, but it is common for a vassal king to go out of the city in disguise, and the magistrate has already been fed, and the emperor is far away, who will be in charge.

Zhu Gongfang used to go out with his son to run horses, the first was in the palace, and later in order to be excited, he was simply on the streets of Kaifeng, and there were many traffic accidents, but he was a little prince, who dared to care, anyway, he didn't go out of Kaifeng City. Today, the prince came to the palace and wanted to ask Zhu Gongfang to run a horse, ordinary people were afraid of Yue Su, but the prince was still not afraid, so he agreed at the moment. Ask whether the prince is in the palace racecourse, or on the street?

Childe thought about it, running in the palace is really not fun, and running on the streets of the city is afraid of causing some trouble. After all, Yue Su still has to come back, in case he kills someone, the little prince is fine, and he will be unlucky. There are not no people in the city who know him. So, Gongzi made a suggestion, "Little prince, let's always run on the streets of the house and the city, it's really boring, it's boring, it's better to go outside the city and run a few laps." The strength of a good horse's feet can only be shown in the wild. ”

Zhu Gongfang's face showed a look of embarrassment, and said: "The clan vassal king is not allowed to go out of the city, this matter will be discovered, but it will be bad." I'm in the city, I'm not afraid of 'Yue shaving my head', once I go out of the city, he will know how to do it. ”

"Little prince, you have not been out of the city to play in the past, what can you do?" Yue Shaved His Head 'has already gone to Luoyang, let's go out in disguise, how can he know. Childe said with a smile.

Zhu Gong pondered for a while, and this is also the truth, and finally nodded and said, "Okay." Go and go, some time ago, I just bought a big horse, let's compete. But this color head, but it should be mentioned. ”

"How big is the little prince going to bet?" Childe asked with a smile.

"In the past, it was a thousand taels, and I lost to you more than 20 times before and after, why don't you let me get it back this time. How about I bet 10,000 taels today? Zhu Gongfang said.

"No problem, just follow the will of the little prince."

Both of them brought a lot of guards, but they went out of the city in disguise, and no one found out. When they arrived outside the city, the two chose the distance, and whoever went to the foot of Banzai Mountain first would win. Long live the mountain in the west of the north gate of Kaifeng City, about six miles of land, but the two of them are out of the city from the south gate, this time, the road is far away.

Dawan horses are extremely fast in short sprints, and if the distance is too close, Childe thinks it will be difficult to win, so he came up with such an idea. Zhu Gongfang didn't care, just complained about the son, since he chose to be there, why didn't he go to the north gate. Childe only replied, and Zhu Gongfang didn't say anything more. "The little prince won't be afraid of losing."

Agree on a good place, urge the horse to start the race, and the servants of both sides also ride their horses and chase after them. This is also the rule, if whoever wins wins, it is the same as winning.

Everyone beat their horses and hurried away, and they didn't have much effort, and they had already seen the shadow of Banzai Mountain. Dawan Ma Guo is worthy of its name, Zhu Gongfang ranks first, and Gongzi's horse is not bad, it is a first-class Mongolian horse, followed by the two of them, which is the distance between the horse's head and the horse's tail. The others, because of the horses, were a little worse, and they were a stone's throw away.

There was grass on both sides of the road, not very wide, and the two of them were chasing after me, when I saw a man not far in front of me pushing a cart. The man was in the same direction as them, and he also walked towards Banzai Mountain, so he turned his back to them.

Zhu Gong was in front of him, and he clearly saw the man with the cart, wanting to turn the horse's head, but the horse was too fast, and his riding skills were too sparse, and he had rushed behind the man in the blink of an eye. Zhu Gongfang hurriedly wanted to pull the silk reins, but it was too late, so he heard a "bang", and the man in front of him was knocked out of the way with the car.

At this time, Da Wanma kicked forward and lifted up, his body stood up, and he neighed. Immediately afterwards, there was another "bang", and it turned out that Zhu Gongfang fell off the horse.

"Little Prince!" Childe's equestrian skills are still good, seeing Zhu Gongfang fall off the horse, he hurriedly grabbed the silk reins, shouted, turned over and dismounted, came to Zhu Gongfang's side in a few steps, and asked nervously: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, it's okay......" Zhu Gong's bones almost didn't fall apart, and when he said this, he couldn't get up.

The servants of the two families also followed at this moment, and the generals of the royal mansion hurriedly dismounted and picked up the little prince. Childe also stood up and gestured to his men.

Two men in strong suits immediately ran to the front to check on the man who had been hit, and when the man was hit by a horse and flew to the ground, he was head-down, and now his head was bleeding and he was dead. Not far away, there was a **-year-old child lying on the ground, thinking that he had just sat in the car.

The kid didn't seem to be much of a deal, probably overly frightened. He was desperately crawling towards the man, shouting "Daddy, Daddy......"

The man in a strong suit walked up to the man, crouched down and sniffed, and was sure that he was dead. Then, after glancing at the child and then at the man next to him, the two men exchanged glances with each other and nodded.

"Daddy, Daddy......" The child finally crawled to his father's side and kept shaking his arm, but the father could no longer open his eyes.

"Don't you want to see your father, I will do good deeds and fulfill your ......," said the man in a strong suit, stabbing the child fiercely with a dagger from his arms, and at the same time said, "Go down and reunite with your father." ”

"Pounce!" Blood splashed the man's hand, he drew the dagger, and the child fell on his father.

The two men in strong suits didn't need Childe's orders, they directly threw the car and people into the grass on the side, and then walked back to Childe.

Childe just smiled and nodded, and said to Zhu Gongfang: "Little prince, if you win this time, I will send you back to recuperate, and when you recover, we will compete again." When the time comes, I will definitely avenge this arrow. ”

Zhu Gong gritted his teeth in pain, and said reluctantly: "Really...... What a disappointment...... Wait until I'm ready...... Let's ...... again."

Everyone escorted Zhu Gongfang and returned to Kaifeng on horseback. About half an hour later, a convoy slowly approached from the direction of Banzai Mountain, and at the front of the convoy was a luxurious carriage, surrounded by a large number of servants, at least two or three hundred people. In addition to soldiers, there are also maids, mothers-in-law, and people dressed as housekeepers.

Because it is autumn, the weather in Henan is not cold, so the carriage uses a bead curtain, and the outside is not invited to the inside, but the inside can enjoy the scenery outside.

There were two women sitting in the carriage, one was graceful and luxurious, and the splendid Luo skirt beside her should be a noble lady. On the low stool on the side, there is a girl dressed as a maid, delicate and cute, clever and lively.

"County Lord, I heard that Lord Yue is now ordered to patrol Henan, and he is so powerful at a young age, which is really admirable. However, I have long seen that Lord Yue will definitely be a great minister in the future, and it is difficult for a talented person like him to become a great official. I just didn't expect it to be so fast. The maid chattered non-stop, opening and closing her mouth to Lord Yue, and as she spoke, she peeked at the young woman's face from time to time.

"Yes, you can see everything." The young woman snorted, but there was no displeasure on her face, she just smiled and said, "Then don't you see, when will you be able to marry yourself?" ”

can be called the county lord, and know Yue Su, there is naturally only one person, and that is Mu Tianjiao, the daughter of the Duke of Qianguo. The maid beside her is none other than Zhu'er.

"When I can get married, of course, it's up to you, the county lord, but I'm very puzzled, why do we have to travel thousands of miles to Henan. Is the county lord planning to go to Kaifeng to stay for a while? After Zhu'er finished speaking, she laughed stupidly.

"Why do you want to go to Kaifeng?" Mu Tianjiao deliberately said disdainfully: "I just lived in Yungui for a long time, and I don't think it's interesting, so I want to come out and visit the famous mountains and rivers." Didn't we just visit Banzai Mountain? I heard that at this time, there is a dragon gate meeting in Luoyang, which is very lively, so let's go there directly and have a look. ”

Zhu'er vigorously led the topic to Yue Su, but Mu Tianjiao never mentioned Yue Su.

"The county lord was originally going to Luoyang, what is the name of the Longmen Society, I haven't heard of it, it must be very interesting to think about. I don't know if the scene is big or not, but even the county lord can stoop to the place, so I think the scene should not be small. I don't know if Lord Yue will go. Zhu'er said deliberately.

"What does it matter to me whether she goes or not." Mu Tianjiao pretended to be angry and said: "Zhu'er, don't open your mouth and close your mouth, Master Yue, I am already a wife, how can I still keep him in my heart." If you mention it again, I will go back to Yunnan and ask my father to find a local toast and marry you. ”

Zhu'er stuck out her tongue and hurriedly said: "County Lord, I won't mention it in the future, don't be angry, I don't want to marry any toast." ”

"Then you sit honestly and don't say anything more."

"Yes......" Zhu'er pouted, looking aggrieved, turned around and looked outside.

It was here that a hand suddenly stretched out from the grass, followed by a small head slowly sticking out.

"Ah......" Zhu'er was startled, and hurriedly pointed to the little head and shouted, "County Lord...... Look what that is......"

Mu Tianjiao looked in the direction of her finger, only to see that she slowly crawled out of the grass with half of her body. "It's a person, like a child."

Immediately, Mu Tianjiao shouted loudly: "Stop!" ”

The coachman hurriedly took the horses, and the leader of the guards who followed the carriage hurriedly urged his horse to come up, and said, "Lord of the county, what is the matter?" ”

Mu Tianjiao said: "Do you see if there is a child in front of you?" ”

The leader of this guard has a tiger's back and a bear's waist, if Yue Su can see it, he will definitely be able to know that this person reported meritorious service back then, was demoted and sentenced, and was sent to Guan Yu who was sent to Yunnan to fill the army. This person with the same name as Guan Wangye, with Yue Su's letter of recommendation, Mu Qiyuan, the Duke of Qianguo, personally summoned him, saw that he was a man, and because he reported meritorious service and indirectly saved his daughter, he was admitted to the palace and became a guard. In the past two years, he has mixed well in the Guogong Mansion, and he has become a small leader, and he is grateful to Yue Su in his heart. Mu Tianjiao has returned to Yunnan to live since Yue Su entered Beijing, and this time when he came to Yunnan, Mu Qiyuan sent Guan Yu to escort him, which can be regarded as a promotion.

Guan Yu fixed his eyes and immediately said, "Back to the county lord, it is indeed a child." ”

"What's wrong with this kid, bring him over and see." Mu Tianjiao said.

"Yes." Guan Yu agreed, rode forward, and several soldiers followed him, helped the child up to see that the child's clothes had been soaked in a large area of red.

"Help......" The child saw someone, spit out two words in a weak voice, and fainted.

"County Lord, this child is seriously injured, I'm afraid that if he doesn't treat him immediately, he will die at any time!" Guan Yu shouted loudly on his horse.

"That's not to call the accompanying Lang Zhong to be treated quickly!" Mu Tianjiao heard it and shouted too.

(To be continued)
