Chapter 123: The Mighty Governor
As night fell, Wu Jin returned to the Lanling Mansion with his first flintlock pistol, and there were still dozens of steps away from the palace, when he saw two carriages parked in front of the steps, he was a little strange, the carriages of ordinary guests would not stop here.
"Uncle Wang, whose carriage is that, do you know?" Wu Jin asked the coachman.
"Childe, that's the carriage of the second lady and the son of Wu Zhi."
The second lady is the wife of Huangfu Zhuo, the second son of the king of Lanling County, Huangfu Zhuo's son is called Huangfu Wuzhi, that is, Baozhu's brother, Wujin has lived in the county palace for so long, and has never seen this person, he has heard people say, this person is short-tempered, and extremely lustful, his mind is not smart, people are disgusted, no one in the palace likes him, but he is the only grandson of the old prince before Wujin appeared.
Wu Jin's carriage slowly stopped in front of the steps, Wu Jin got off the carriage first, turned around and hugged Jing Niang from the carriage, in fact, the carriage has small pedals and handrails, you can get off by yourself, but every time you get off, Wu Jin wants to carry her down.
At first, Jingniang was very unaccustomed to it, but gradually she liked this way of getting off, which gave her a great sense of dependence when Wujin was the only one to hug her in public.
"Humph! It's so intimate! ”
A sneer suddenly came from behind him, and Wu Jin turned around, only to see a young man standing on the steps, very tall and strong, about twenty-three or four years old, although he was wearing a brocade robe, he looked rude, and his eyes were full of disdain.
But when his eyes saw Jing Niang, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately stared at her, tonight the moonlight was exceptionally bright, under the moonlight, Jing Niang's skin was as white as snow, and her appearance was beautiful and charming, so that the man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
When Wu Jin saw him stepping on the threshold of the gate with one foot, he knew that he must be the emperor Wu Zhi, but this person's undisguised rudeness to Jing Niang made Wu Jin extremely disgusted, he gently hugged Jing Niang's waist and looked at him coldly.
Only then did the man react, and he said to Wujin hostilely: "You are the Huangfu Wujin?" ”
Huangfu Wuzhi had to hate Wu Jin, and the arrival of Wu Jin took away the heir of King Liang who should have belonged to him, making his parents jealous, and the jealousy of his parents, coupled with the instigation of fox friends and dogs, made him full of hostility towards Wu Jin in his heart.
He is now named the captain of the six-rank tiger ben, and he serves in the name of the Jin Wuwei, because he is not married yet, so he has no title for the time being.
Huangfu Wuzhi did not go to Xiliang to serve, he has been living in the capital with his mother, the earliest they also lived in the Lanling County Palace, since ten years ago, by the Lanling County King's son-in-law Zhang Chongjun took over as the envoy of the Helong Festival, instead of his son Huangfu Zhuo took over, Huangfu Zhuo quarreled with his father, and opened another mansion in a rage, Huangfu Zhuo stayed in the Xiliang frontier for many years, rarely returned to the capital, his wife and son generally come to visit Huangfu Xinjiang during the New Year's Festival, but this year's Mid-Autumn Festival they did not come, the reason is that there is no Jin without appearance, took away the inheritance of King Liang, which should have belonged to Huangfu Wuzhi.
I don't know why they're here today?
Wujin stretched out his hand and took out the box containing the gun from the car, and said lightly: "I am Huangfu Wujin, may I ask Your Excellency?" ”
Huangfu Wuzhi smiled contemptuously and did not answer, his eyes moved to Jing Niang again, squinted his eyes and said, "She is a woman, not bad!" Huangfu Wujin, how about giving her to me? ”
Jing Niang was extremely disgusted by his lustful gaze, she leaned closely on Wu Jin, and suddenly heard this sentence, she was shocked in her heart, and pulled Wu Jin's hand tightly, Wu Jin gently squeezed her hand, signaling her not to worry, he also ignored this Huangfu Wu Zhi, and pulled Jing Niang directly into the house.
Huangfu Wuzhi stared at Jing Niang's waist and buttocks from behind, and said with a yin smile: "It's just a concubine, why bother hurting the feelings between brothers for her." ”
Seeing that Wujin ignored him, he followed a few more steps, "I fell in love with her, it was to give you face, you give her to me, and I will consider reconciling with you." ”
Wu Jin listened to the footsteps, he slowly turned his head and glanced at this person coldly, and said slowly: "For my grandfather's sake, I don't care about you, if you dare to talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being polite." ”
Huangfu Wuzhi laughed loudly, he suddenly laughed and said viciously: "It's not your turn to teach me in the palace, let me tell you, I will not only talk nonsense, but also do nonsense, what can you do?" ”
Obviously, he just wants to provoke Wu Jin and provoke trouble, as long as Wu Jin makes the first move, he will have the upper hand.
Wu Jin smiled disdainfully, shook his head, this kind of fool, it is not worth his attention, he pulled Jing Niang and went directly back to his yard, but Jing Niang was extremely scared, as soon as she entered the room, she turned around and hugged Wu Jin, "Childe, I'm afraid!" ”
Wu Jin kissed her pink lips and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, he doesn't have the guts." ”
Jing Niang shook her head and said hurriedly: "Childe, I can feel it, he only treats me as your woman, possession is possession, I am afraid that when you are not there, he will come to hurt me, he comes and goes freely in the palace, no one dares to stop him, Childe, I am really afraid." ”
Although Wu Jin comforted Jing Niang not to be afraid, he was also worried in his heart, Baozhu told him a lot of stupid things, he was the kind of person who had no bottom line in doing things, and when he was twelve years old, he stole his grandfather's Wang Yin and lent it to his fox friends.
This kind of person is likely to invade Jingniang in revenge for himself, he must not be guarded, especially when he goes to the barracks during the day and is not in the palace, after all, the old prince is old and can't control him.
Wu Jin didn't want to wait for the accident to go to the angry and find that fool to settle the score, and the damage suffered by Jing Niang at that time was irreparable.
Wu Jin thought for a while and said, "That's it!" Tomorrow I will send you to Bixian Palace first, stay with Jiutian, and you will accompany her by the way, how about it? ”
Jing Niang nodded, she also likes Su Han very much, especially since this marriage has been completed, Su Han will be her housewife, and it is good for her to be with her more.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and a maid said in the courtyard: "Son, the old lady invites you to come over." ”
"I see!"
Wu Jin handed the box to Jing Niang and said with a smile: "Put this box away for me, and we'll talk again in the evening, and I'll come when I go." ”
Jing Niang nodded, took the box and went to the inner room, Wu Jin sorted out his thoughts, and walked quickly towards the house where Huangfu Jiang lived.
The inner hall was brightly lit, in addition to the prince and his wife, there was also the Huangfu Wuzhi who he met at the door just now, he looked at Wu Jin with a smile, his eyes flickered, and he didn't know what he was thinking? At the top sat two people, one should be his mother, in her forties, who looked pretty good, but her lips were thin, giving people a very mean feeling.
Opposite her sat a man in his forties, Wu Jin saw him, and immediately glanced at Huangfu Wuzhi, the two looked too similar, they were both the same rude appearance, big forehead, deep eyes, high cheekbones, big nose and big mouth, a bit similar to between humans and apes, Baozhu stood behind him, a little coquettish, and beat him on the back.
Wu Jin immediately guessed who he was, he should be Huangfu Zhuo, the second son of Huangfu Jiang, who was knighted as the Duke of Gan Guo, and the official worshiped the governor of Wuwei.
Wu Jin guessed correctly, this person was Wuwei Governor Huang Fu Zhuo, he received a letter from his father, in which his father said that he was seriously ill, and he might not come much, and hoped that he could come back to take a look.
Although Huangfu Zhuo was extremely dissatisfied with his father, he did not want to be charged with unfilial piety, and finally returned to Beijing.
At this time, he was also looking at Wu Jin curiously, although he was extremely dissatisfied with his father for not giving the successor of King Liang to his son, but he was not as hostile as his son, he somewhat concealed it.
Is this the son of his eldest brother? He felt that Wujin didn't look like his eldest brother at all, his eldest brother was very thin and sickly, but this emperor Wujin was tall and big, very strong, and his appearance was not like his eldest brother at all, of course, he might look like his mother.
But Huangfu Zhuo is not comfortable, the root of his discomfort is in the title of Wujin, Liangguo Gong, this is his eldest brother's title, because according to the system, when his father dies, the hereditary will be promoted to another level, and then the eldest brother Huang Fuhong will be promoted to the heir of King Liang, but his eldest brother died prematurely, then the hereditary should be his turn, he is the Duke of Gan Guo, his father died, and he will attack the heir of King Liang, and the eldest brother's son is at most the county prince, but Wujin has become the Duke of Liang, it is obvious that in the future he will be the heir of King Liang, not himself, let alone his own son.
This made Huangfu Zhuo extremely depressed, his father not only deprived him of the right to inherit the Western Liang Army, but also deprived him of the qualification to inherit the Liang royal line.
As soon as he thought of this, the anger in Huangfu Zhuo's heart began to burn, he didn't dare to show hatred for his father, but he didn't have any taboos about Wujin.
Wu Jin stepped forward and knelt down to give salutes to the king and princess of Lanling County, "Grandson see grandfather and grandmother." ”
Huangfu Jiang nodded, and glanced at his grandson Huangfu Wuzhi, who was sitting below, extremely dissatisfied, and when he saw him, he couldn't even kneel at the very least.
"Wu Jin, this is your second uncle, let's see the courtesy!"
Wu Jin also knelt down respectfully and saluted, "Nephew, see second uncle!" ”
Huangfu Zhuo snorted coldly, "Don't dare!" Don't dare to accept the gift of the Duke of Liangguo. ”
"Zhuo'er, how can you talk like that?"
Huang Fujiang's face immediately became gloomy, "You are an elder, at least you have to look like an elder." ”
Huangfu Zhuo did not back down, and still said coldly: "Father, my eldest brother never told me that he still has a son in Donghai County, I'm sorry, I have doubts about his identity, and I won't accept him for the time being until Zongzheng Temple has completed the investigation." ”
"Do you mean that you don't even believe me?" Huangfu Jiang said angrily.
"The child doesn't dare, but this time the child came back to visit his father, I don't want to know anything else, and it has nothing to do with me, since my father is in good health, then I am also relieved, and I will return to Xiliang in two days."
After speaking, he stood up and saluted Huangfu Jiang, "Father, I will leave first." ”
He said to his wife and son, "Let's go!" ”
