The 568th Round: Entering and Exiting the Governor's Palace

Hu Zongxian sighed: "Heavenly wolf, why are you suffering, it is easy to break if it is too strong, and if the moon is full, you will lose, you will not understand this truth." ”

The wolf said loudly: "Hu Butang, I am not a person in the officialdom, I don't need to think about any personal gains and losses, I only know that there is a big case in Zhejiang, and I, as a Jinyi guard, have the responsibility and obligation to report, instead of hiding it, I'm sorry, I quit!" As he spoke, he turned around and was about to walk out.

Xu Wenchang said anxiously: "Heavenly wolf, don't be like this, there is something to discuss." ”

The wolf didn't reply, and said coldly: "Since the wolf has promised to deliver the letter to Shuangyu Island, the base camp of the Japanese Invaders, he will never regret it." Now I'm going to find a safe place for this confession, and after settling down, I'm going to come back and ask Hu Butang for my life and set off. ”

Hu Zongxian knew that the wolf couldn't stay, so he nodded: "The wolf, you are Jinyiwei, it stands to reason that the governor is also under your surveillance, you can indeed report the matter here to the emperor, what I Hu Zongxian said today, you don't need to hide a word, the emperor will naturally understand my mind." Your companion, Miss Fengwu, has been transferred to my mansion in Hangzhou after you left, and is being taken care of by my family, so go and see her first, Wen Chang, you can accompany the wolf on a trip. ”

Xu Wenchang answered, walked to the side of the wolf, and glanced at him, the wolf's anger was still not completely gone, but he still reluctantly turned around and saluted Hu Zongxian, and then strode out, Xu Wenchang shook his head and followed closely.

The footsteps of the two faded away, and a ghostly figure spun out from behind the screen. Dressed in a black night suit, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and long fluttering hair. There was a hint of helplessness on his dark and red face, could it be Lu Bing, the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei?

Lu Bing sighed and bowed to Hu Zongxian: "Ru Zhen (Hu Zongxian's character), I've caused you trouble, this wolf sometimes hates me so much that I don't want to see him again." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled slightly: "Young man, lack of experience. Didn't you and I ever be so enthusiastic when we were young? Pinghu (Lu Bing is a native of Pinghu, Hubei, and during the Ming Dynasty, friends in the officialdom were often commensurate with each other by words or by place of origin, and were not respected. For example, Xu Jie, Xia Yan and others call Yan Song a good person), I'm afraid that not only will you not want to see him, but you want him to become your son-in-law as soon as possible. ”

Lu Bing's face changed slightly: "Ru Zhen, this matter is not a joke." I don't have that plan right now. ”

Hu Zongxian shook his head: "Are you still worried about Yan Shifan?" Actually, I do. A young man like the Sky Wolf who is so pure that he doesn't have any sophistication, has impulsiveness, drive, and righteousness, which is what Yan Shifan is really afraid of, we old guys, have family concerns, and the temptation of official positions, and we can't do the same as the Sky Wolf can throw down a qiē to fight. In fact, I was quite ashamed in front of the wolf just now. What this young man has the courage to do, or what I had the courage to do thirty years ago, I can't do it now, decades of officialdom have smoothed my edges and corners, polished my sharpness, alas, people can't help but accept old age. ”

Lu Bing walked to the stool where the wolf was sitting just now, sat down with a golden knife, and there was a trace of loneliness in his eyes: "Ru Zhen, I won't tell you, Feng Wu's girl really likes him, but there is another woman in the heart of this wolf, the little girl has enough tricks, and she can't enter the heart of the wolf, last time the wolf forced her to almost commit suicide, I hope that the wolf can make the wolf feel a little guilty in the future, and she can be better from now on." As for Yan Shifan, it's not that I'm most worried, he hurt Feng Wu a lot, and it's good that I didn't settle accounts with him. ”

Hu Zongxian's face changed slightly: "There is still such a thing?" Alas, the feelings of these people in the rivers and lakes, I, an old man in the officialdom, don't understand it. ”

Lu Bing shook his head and changed the topic: "The matter of young people, as they toss around, don't miss the big thing, this time, do you really plan to end here, in fact, I think the idea of the wolf just now is also reasonable, if you repeatedly give in to Yan Shifan, he will only oppress you in a calliary way, and I don't think that after this incident, he will have any restraint." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled slightly: "Where am I giving Yan Shifan face, I don't want the elder to die well in the end, after all, I am his student, the things that the East Building has done over the years, the elder of the pavilion is mostly unaware, I now hope that I can pacify the widows here as soon as possible, and then resign and return to my hometown, as long as I leave, the elder will also understand that he will not be able to stay in the phase, and he can only retire when the time comes, and he will not be willing to do it in the East Building, maybe that is the best result." ”

Lu Bing's eyes flashed: "Ru Zhen, you have underestimated Yan Shifan's ambition too much, he has done too much evil over the years, offended too many people, and if he leaves the phase, the Yan family is a dead end, so he will risk the disapproval of the world to collude with the Mongols and the Japanese Invaders, just to protect himself, even if you retire successfully, he will not be willing to give up the power in his hands." ”

Hu Zongxian sighed: "So what, we scholars, we are talking about the word loyalty, talking about the prince of heaven and earth, a teacher for one day, a father for life, I, Hu Zongxian, have done my best to be benevolent and righteous, not to repay the country, to be worthy of the teacher, but also to be worthy of the heart, as for some people if they seek their own death, then God will not tolerate him." ”

Lu Bing stood up and hugged his fist at Hu Zongxian: "Ru Zhen cherishes, the southeast can't do without you, if there is anything you need my help with, even if you open your mouth, it is inconvenient for me to come forward, and I will let the heavenly wolf and Feng Wu act." ”

Hu Zongxian smiled slightly: "This time I let the Heavenly Wolf go deep into the Longtan Tiger's Den and go to the old lair of the wolf, are you really not worried at all?" ”

Lu Bing suddenly laughed: "I believe that the Heavenly Wolf will not let me down, and my future son-in-law will not let me down." ”

The wolf and Xu Wenchang were silent all the way, and walked to the gate of the camp, and the two sergeants guarding here stepped forward and led two horses, one was Qi Jiguang's mount that the wolf rode from, and the other was a little shorter, but it was also thick and powerful limbs, obviously Xu Wenchang.

The two got on their horses and rode on their horses with a heavy heart, and after walking three miles, the lights of the camp in the distance had gradually disappeared. The wolf was not as urgent this time as he had come, and there was no one on the path, so he restrained his horse. sighed: "Mr. Xu, I'm really a little out of shape today, which makes you laugh." ”

Xu Wenchang smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I can understand it completely." Actually, I have some regrets, but the lord of the ministry is right, the overall situation is important, and you can't blindly be strong. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "The ministry has his considerations. But I also have to leave the evidence of Yan Shifan's guilt here, even if I can't defeat him this time, I can use this kind of thing when I have the opportunity in the future. If the emperor really wants to kill him, this confession is enough, and it also mentions dragon qi, and this rebellion has been revealed. ”

Xu Wenchang nodded: "Hu Butang doesn't want to keep this thing either." Otherwise, after he killed Shi Wenliu and Hua Changmin. If Yan Shifan asks about this confession, he will not hand it over, nor will he hand it in. So this thing is the safest place for you now, just remember what I reminded you last time, don't give it to Lu Bing. ”

The Heavenly Wolf shook his head: "No, this time I'm going to go to the Wako, life and death are unpredictable, so I can only hand over this thing to Feng Wu before leaving." And she naturally wants to hand this over to Commander Lu. Mr. Xu, I think you have a prejudice against Lu Bing. I actually know his affairs, and it is impossible to get back together with Yan Shifan, don't worry. ”

Xu Wenchang shook his head: "I still trust my intuition, Heavenly Wolf, Lu Bing is not as loyal to state affairs as you think, in order to avenge his personal vendetta, he can also collude with Yan Song and frame Xia Ge Lao, who is loyal to the country, with this first time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be a second time." So I advise you to keep an eye on it. ”

The Celestial Wolf groaned, "Then, I put this thing here with you?" ”

Xu Wenchang smiled and waved his hand: "Is there any difference between you giving it to me and giving it to Hu Butang?" Or make it difficult for us. It's up to you to figure it out for yourself. If you have trustworthy friends in the rivers and lakes, I can hand them over. There is no need to rush to Shuangyu, if not, you can take the time to find a trustworthy friend. ”

Sky Wolf nodded: "I will seriously consider this matter." Let's go, let's go see Feng Wu first. He clamped his legs around the belly of the horse, and the horse galloped again, and soon rushed out a dozen paces away, towards the city of Hangzhou, where a silhouette was already faintly visible in the distance.

It was already night, the city gate was tightly closed, the wolf relied on the token given by Hu Zongxian to let the defenders of the west city open the city gate, and Xu Wenchang rode into the city, the city of Hangzhou in the middle of the night was quiet, the city was dark, the wolf did not want the sound of the horse's hooves flying to disturb the rest of the people, after entering the city, he dismounted and led the mount slowly, walked for nearly an hour, and arrived at the governor's palace in the center of the city.

After the wolf and Xu Wenchang entered the house, it was already the fourth watch, and there was already a little light in the summer night sky at this time, Xu Wenchang said that Feng Wu was now in the backyard, taken care of by Hu Zongxian's wife and daughter, and the wolf considered that it was inconvenient to enter the boudoir of the female family late at night, so he and Xu Wenchang sat in the living room and waited for the dawn.

Due to the sleepless rush all the way, it was indeed too tired, the wolf on the seat to adjust the internal breath, three weeks of work, Fang Jue was refreshed, a hundred times more energetic, opened his eyes and saw that it was already bright daylight.

Xu Wenchang on the opposite side was lying on the small table next to the chair, and he looked at it, the snoring sound shook the earth, and the saliva at the corner of his mouth turned into a line, almost dripping to the ground, and the two maids stood at the door with the washbasin and utensils, looking at themselves and Xu Wenchang, while snickering, as soon as they saw that they woke up, they immediately put away their smiles, and Yingying was a blessing: "Good morning." ”

Since the wolf entered the Jinyi Guard, although he has been hanging the name of a deputy commander-in-chief, he has not really socialized with people in the officialdom, and he doesn't know what the weight of his four-grade official really is. ”

A calm and atmospheric, but slightly old voice sounded: "Lord Tianlu is the deputy commander-in-chief of the dignified Jinyi Weizheng Sipin, and the court has the etiquette of the court, if you see the official and don't see the adult, it is inappropriate." ”

With the voice of speaking, a plump, graceful and luxurious middle-aged lady, surrounded by four maids wearing pink light gauze, walked into this side hall, she combed her hair high, with a jade hairpin inserted on it, her eyebrows are towering, her complexion is fair, her eyes are awe-inspiring, her facial features are upright, and she is wearing a cyan silk cloth.

The two maids carrying the basin saw the noble lady walk in. Hurriedly bent down and saluted, and said in a low voice, "Madam." ”

The wolf suddenly realized that this was Hu Zongxian's main lady, and quickly stood up. straightened his clothes and saluted him, "I've seen Mrs. Hu." "Hu Zongxian is a second-grade official, and his wife is also the second-rank lady of the imperial court, and when it comes to official grades, it is above the heavenly wolf.

Xu Wenchang was also woken up, stretched his waist, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and saw that Mrs. Hu was present. He smiled slightly, wiped the saliva from his mouth, stood up and arched his hand: "I've seen Madame." ”

It is probably that Xu Wenchang also frequented Hu Zongxian's governor's yamen. They are also familiar with Mrs. Hu, and Mrs. Hu's attitude towards Xu Wenchang is obviously much closer, and she said with a smile: "Mr. Xu doesn't need to be polite, you give advice to your grandson." People are also hard. disturbed your rest, it should be the old body to make a compensatory to you. ”

Xu Wenchang laughed and pointed at the wolf: "Madam, this wolf commander, this time he handled a big case in the field, and then rushed back to the camp for two nights and one day without sleep, and entered the city overnight, he is really hard." You should know that his companion, Miss Feng Wu, is still here. After seeing her this time, he had to go back to continue his mission. ”

Mrs. Hu let out an "oh", looked at the wolf twice, showed a look of approval on her face, and nodded: "Sure enough, you are a hero, no wonder that girl has always been obsessed with you." Originally, the backyard was mostly for women, and it was not convenient for men to enter and exit, but my grandson once took care of it, saying that if Lord Tianlu and Mr. Xu came to visit the girl, it would be convenient, so you should go to the backyard with me. ”

Heavenly Wolf hurriedly said, "Mrs. Hu, may I ask how Feng Wu's injuries are now?" ”

Mrs. Hu turned around and smiled slightly: "It's no big deal, oh, by the way, that Dr. Li also comes to change the medicine for this girl every day these days, his medical skills are really powerful, such a serious injury, it only takes ten days, and now it is basically all healed, and even the scar can't be seen." ”

A stone in the wolf's heart fell to the ground, and he was about to start, when he suddenly felt a gust of wind outside, and Feng Wu, dressed in black and wearing a butterfly mask, suddenly rushed in, and without saying anything, he plunged into the wolf's arms, and the two jade arms tightly hugged the wolf's back, and his voice was full of excitement: "The wolf, you're back!"

Feng Wu's move was unexpected by everyone, even Xu Wenchang opened his mouth wide, unable to speak, the wolf seemed to have given a fixed body method, standing motionless in a daze, his mind was blank, but his nose was drilled into Feng Wu's body with a faint smell of Chinese medicine, and today her body changed to a smell of osmanthus, which looked very special.

Mrs. Hu coughed lightly: "Lord Tianluo and Miss Fengwu have business to discuss, Mr. Xu, let's avoid it for a while." ”

Xu Wenchang reacted suddenly, and snorted: "Yes, yes, Tianluo has an important military plane this time that needs to be reported to the Jinyiwei headquarters, let's avoid it first." With that, he lifted the front swing and ran out at a trot.

Mrs. Hu shook her head gently, and walked out quickly, the two maids at the door were still holding a basin of water, their faces were flushed with shame, and they didn't know what to do, Mrs. Hu's eyes were cold when she passed by: "What are you still doing in a daze, let's go!" The two maids woke up from a dream, withdrew, and gently closed the door of the living room.

Everyone is gone, the room is full of the fragrance of osmanthus on Feng Wu's body, and the wolf has also come back to his senses, just now he glanced at Xu Wenchang, but he didn't expect this guy to be the first to slip away, it seems that this time only he can solve it alone.

The sky wolf sighed softly: "Feng Wu, don't be like this, let people see jokes." He said that he wanted to gently move Feng Wu to hold his arms, but he didn't expect Feng Wu to ring tighter.

I only heard Feng Wu's voice with two points of crying: "Sky Wolf, do you know, after you left, I didn't have a day to eat well and sleep soundly, I'm afraid that something will happen to you, I am really happy to know that you are back, I will not let you leave me again this time." ”

The wolf was slightly stunned: "Isn't it just to go to Yiwu to quell a civil uprising, what danger can there be, Feng Wu, I am not a three-year-old child, enough to protect myself." ”

Feng Wu raised his head from the wolf's chest, and his big black and white beautiful eyes were already full of tears: "Don't lie to me anymore, it's not a common people fight at all, if it's really so easy, I won't send you, the Jinyi Guard, over, there must be a big case of Tongwei there, it must be Xu Hai and others, and Yan Shifan is planning it behind, right?!"

Heavenly Wolf's heart moved, and he held Feng Wu's fragrant shoulder: "How do you know?" ”

Feng Wu sighed softly: "Do you still need someone to sue you?" Sky wolf, if it's not a very difficult thing to do, how can you leave Hangzhou here and go to Yiwu instead of checking? Xu Hai disappeared after they went ashore, and it happened that something happened in Yiwu, and Yan Shifan also appeared in Jiangnan at this time, could it be a coincidence? Sky Wolf, don't you think I'm a stupid woman with no brains, anyway, I'm also a Jinyi Guard killer trained by my father. (To be continued......)
