Chapter 20: She Turned Out to Be a Female Spy
Yang Hao's return to the Xining Hou Mansion was already the beginning of the unitary time, the curfew in Chang'an City had begun, and Yang Hao returned to the Xining Hou Mansion under the escort of two Jinwu guards. Mrs. Zhang's face was full of anxiety, accompanied by the housekeepers Yang Mo, Qing'er, Xiaoyu and others, she had been waiting at the gate, and everyone was relieved to see Yang Hao come back.
The housekeeper Yang Mo took two taels of silver and thanked the two Jinwu guards, the door was closed, and everyone dispersed. Mrs. Zhang asked Yang Hao in fear: "What happened, why did the Holy Lord punish you to go to the frontier?" ”
Yang Hao didn't expect Mrs. Zhang to know about this so quickly, he turned his head to look at Xiao Si, who shook his head innocently.
Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "I'm asking you, what do you think he does?" ”
Looking at Mrs. Zhang's anxious look on her face, Yang Hao felt sour in his heart, and wanted to tell her about it, but it was confidential, and he couldn't tell her directly, so he thought about it before replying: "When I was playing on the court today, my son inadvertently collided with Yu Chenwan, a concubine, and was impeached by the imperial history. The son asked to resign from the military to study in Taixue, but because he said the wrong thing, Long Yan was displeased, so he ordered his son to go to Fengzhou to train for two years. ”
When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she relaxed slightly, she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again, "What did you say wrong that annoyed Your Majesty?" Yang Hao blushed and said, "My son mistakenly said that Taixue was a university, so he annoyed Your Majesty." ”
Mrs. Zhang smiled helplessly, she caressed Yang Hao's face lovingly, and complained: "You, I usually tell you to read more books, you are always playful, so you can learn a lesson now." ”
Yang Hao hurriedly said: "Your Majesty just asked me to go to the frontier to train for two years, and I will come back in the future." Besides, Meng Thorn Shi of Fengzhou is the uncle of his son's friend Meng Bochang, he will take care of his son, and his mother doesn't have to worry. ”
Mrs. Zhang said coquettishly: "I don't want you to come back, how much less worry will I have if you don't come back?" Qing'er brought Yang Hao's new official uniform and fish talisman. Li Ang set the tone to send Yang Hao to the frontier, Li Yan asked him to go to Fengzhou, and now the Ministry of War has given him a specific official position: the soldiers and horses of the Tiande Army Hengsai Town, from the military attache of Liupin. The official uniforms and fish talismans were sent in the afternoon, which means that Li Ang had just given an order in the Zichen Palace, and the things were sent over there, which shows the high efficiency of the order.
The fish charm is a kind of metal plate similar to an ID card issued by the imperial court to officials, and it is called the fish charm because of its shape like a fish. Divide the left and right sides, and chisel small holes on them in order to tie them. The fish charm is engraved with the name of the official, the yamen and the rank of the official residence. According to the official system of the Tang Dynasty, the fish charms used by the prince and officials above the third rank are made of gold; The fish talisman of officials above the fifth rank is silver; Those below the sixth grade are made of copper.
Yang Mo arranged two tables of family banquets and invited Mrs. Zhang and Yang Hao to the table, Yang Hao did not see Qi Yu, so he asked the reason, Mrs. Zhang explained: "At noon, her aunt came to Chang'an to visit relatives and wanted to see her, so she took her back. I thought I'd send someone to pick her up when it was dark. It's because I'm worried about you that I'm delaying this matter. ”
Xiao Si volunteered: "The slave will go and pick up Miss Qi back and congratulate the son." Yang Hao scolded with a smile: "Now the streets are full of Jin Wuwei, can you fly over?" Everyone laughed, Xiao Si scratched his head, and then stopped talking.
The family feast was dispersed. Yang Haoyi rested in the study, and Xiaoyu accompanied the room outside. In the middle of the night, Xiaoyu pink pants and red belly pocket trotted all the way into the back room, lifted the quilt, and got into the quilt. The cold upper and lower teeth fought, Yang Hao stretched out his arms and hugged her, Xiaoyu buried her head in Yang Hao's arms, her body was warm, she poked her head out and asked happily: "You go to Fengzhou, can you think about who to take to wait?" ”
Yang Hao knew that she wanted to follow, so he deliberately pretended not to know, pretended to ponder for a while, and said: "I am on the border by order, and it is not good to take my entourage." Xiaoyu said: "Nonsense, now the soldiers on the border can bring their families, can't you?" A boy like you who comes to eat and stretch out his hand, no one waits, I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat. Yang Hao continued to tease her: "The army is not as particular as at home, and it is not so particular. When the rice is cooked, the bowl is eaten, and the clothes are dirty and rubbed in the river, which stumps people. The side plug is bitter, and it can't compare to Chang'an. How can I bear to let you suffer with you? ”
Xiao Yu was full of grievances when he heard this, turned over and turned his back to Yang Hao, Yang Hao covered his mouth and snickered. The little fish got up again and walked out barefoot. Yang Hao hurriedly pulled her back and stretched out his arms to hold the little fish. Xiao Yu couldn't break free, so he turned his head with a cold face and deliberately ignored Yang Hao. Yang Hao also deliberately ignored her, pretended to sleep again, and snored loudly for a while. The little fish got annoyed, and his feet kicked wildly in the bed. Yang Hao finally couldn't help laughing, Xiaoyufen's face flushed with shame, and he simply sat up and said coquettishly: "You big liar, let me ask you if you want to take me with you?" ”
Yang Hao saw that she was really angry, and couldn't bear to tease her anymore, so he put his hands on her shoulders and smiled and persuaded: "I'm joking with you, who can I take if I don't take you there?" Xiao Yu suddenly turned from worry to joy, smashed Yang Hao in the chest, threw himself into his arms, and said coquettishly: "In addition to me, you can also take Qi Yu there, as well as Ling'er, Qing'er...... Forget Qing'er, you don't like her anyway. But Cuiyu and Chunxi can still go, ah, so many people, you flowery ghost, how can you have so many people? ”
Yang Hao shouted: "This is really wronged, I don't even know half of these people you are talking about, how can I take them there?" Besides, with you, do they dare to come? Xiao Yu tilted his head, not understanding what he meant, for a moment. Yang Hao reminded: "I'm afraid of you, a tigress." ”
Xiao Yu's face turned red, and she hugged Yang Hao's arm and bit it.
Yang Hao screamed "wow", Xiaoyu was startled, and hurriedly stretched his neck to listen to the movement outside the window. It was dark and there was no movement. Xiao Yu breathed a sigh of relief and shrank into the quilt, only then did she notice that Yang Hao was looking at her affectionately with his head tilted. Xiao Yu felt a warm current in her heart, her heart was full of sweetness, so she pulled one of Yang Hao's arms as a pillow, put the back of her head against Yang Hao's chin, arched for a while, and finally found a solid posture, and then she held Yang Hao's other arm in her arms and closed her eyes sweetly.
got up early on the second day, and Yang Hao went to the practice room to practice.
Breakfast was sent by Xiaoyu, and she accompanied Yang Hao to eat a small bowl of porridge and left. Mrs. Zhang gave her an important task: to choose a few pieces of clothing for Yang Hao. The mother of the child is worried. Mrs. Zhang plans to use this month to sew a few decent clothes for her son by herself. Half of the clothes Yang Hao wore before were sewn by tailors in the city, and the other half were made by Qing'er.
Yang Hao had just had breakfast, and his family came to report that someone in the Laiguo Mansion asked to see him. The visitor was a strange face, and after seeing Yang Hao, he said: "My father-in-law invited Yang Gongzi to come over to the house." Yang Hao sneered: "Your son-in-law is now in the palace as an official, so he refuses to come to my door, right?" Well, I'll go see him and see what Yin Zhonghou has to say. ”
The housekeeper rode a horse to lead the way in front, and he turned around and led Yang Hao to Qi's house. Yang Hao was startled, and was about to ask, but saw Yin Tongxiang and Qi Mo accompanied a brocade-clothed man in his thirties to the door. Yang Hao felt that this person was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember his name for a while.
"Brother Yang, it's me, Duan Yuming." Seeing Yang Hao in a daze, the brocade-clothed man introduced himself.
It turned out to be Duan Yuming, the pawn of the Yingwang Mansion, Yang Hao had seen him not long ago, and it was he who told Yang Hao that the "Autumn Ceremony" would be held after the autumn, so that Yang Hao stepped up his study and preparations. Now that I think about it, it turned out that it was all about arresting Wang Shoucheng on the court.
"Brother Duan has now taken up his post in Jingzhao Mansion, and the street patrols inside and outside the capital are all his subordinates, if you have any trouble in the future, just mention Brother Duan's name to ensure that it works." Qi Mo said with a smile, he gave Yin Tongxiang a look. Among the three, Yin Tongxiang has the most iron relationship with Yang Hao. Yang Hao was shocked in his heart: the three of them mysteriously asked themselves to Qi's house, and it was this opening remark again, Yang Hao vaguely realized that something had happened to Qi Yu.
"Third brother, there is something we didn't want to tell you, but brother, I feel sorry for you if I don't say it......"
Sure enough, something happened to Qi Yu, otherwise Yin Tongxiang would have been speechless.
"Is something wrong with Qi Yu?" Yang Hao hurriedly asked.
"Third brother, don't worry. Qi Yu, she's fine, it's just a little troublesome. Qi Mo comforted Yang Hao while throwing a look at the attendants beside him. The attendant started and ran towards the inner courtyard of the Qi family.
Duan Yuming said: "Let's make it clear now, Qi Yu is actually a secret agent sent to the mansion by Xiao Qingyi. ”
Yang Hao, the name of Xiaoqingyi, had heard of it, and Guo Qin, who was captured by himself in the Daming Palace, was their leader.
"This, how is this possible?" Yang Hao's brain buzzed, and he couldn't accept it for a while. But he quickly calmed down, no, he once visited Qi's house at night, and overheard Qi Yu's conversation with her fake father, she should be a secret prostitute, how could she become a female spy in the blink of an eye, this is a little unreasonable.
Qi Mo's attendant brought a man in his thirties in green clothes from the inner courtyard, with a pointed chin that was smooth and hairless. In the Tang Dynasty, when the beard was fluttering, men in their thirties did not grow beards, which is as rare as men in their thirties now. Eunuch, this is another eunuch!
"Tell General Yang what is going on with Qi Yu." Qi Mo's tone was so cold that he could freeze out ice slag.
"Yes," the eunuch replied softly, the tone and tone of his voice confirmed his identity, the eunuch Gu Lu rolled his eyes, stood facing Yang Hao with his hands down, and bowed forward slightly: "The slave is the inner servant of the province Lin Tongwei, the steward eunuch of Xiao Qingyi." Qi Yu is a subordinate directly under the minion, and in March this year, she was ordered to disguise herself as a secret prostitute to seduce the general with her beauty, in order to spy on ...... His Majesty's plan to remove castration. Lin Tongwei said as he looked at Yang Hao's face from the corner of his eye.
Lin Tongwei finished his words carefully, his heart was uneasy, Yang Hao's face was blue and purple, not good, this bastard boy wants to be rough.
Sure enough, after Yang Hao listened to his narration, a nameless evil fire rushed up, he grabbed Lin Tongwei's collar, opened his bow left and right, slapped him twice, and then slammed him to the ground, shouting and scolding: "Eunuch! Lao Tzu has to kill you today. ”
Lin Tongwei kept bowing to the ground, and at the same time asked Duan Yuming and Qi Mo for help: "You promised the slaves, as long as the slaves tell the truth, they will not embarrass the slaves." Now you are persuading General Yang. ”
