Chapter 24: A Chance Encounter (2)
"Robbed Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple...... Giggles, that guy is really interesting, but what about later? Lying beside Xie An in thin clothes, the eldest grandson Xiangyu asked with interest while feeding Xie An preserved fruits.
Biting the preserved fruit handed over by the eldest grandson Xiangyu with his mouth and chewing it, Xie An pillowed his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "That guy who doesn't have long eyes was sentenced to ten sticks by Lord Ben, and beat him to cry and cry for his mother, and then Lord Ben threw him into the prison of the Great Prison Temple, locked him up for two days, and saw if he dared in the future!" ”
Looking at Xie An's exaggerated expression, the eldest grandson Xiangyu couldn't help but giggle, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she put aside the plate with preserved fruits in her hand, tired of Xie An, and said in a coquettish voice, "Brother An, people have something to tell you......"" "The fastest update, the whole text is hand-typed."
As if he had received some kind of signal, Xie An's nerves tensed, and he looked at the eldest grandson Xiangyu solemnly, and said hesitantly, "I hope this matter will not violate the laws of the Great Zhou, okay?" ”
"What do you think!" The eldest grandson Xiangyu glared at Xie An angrily, and then said with a pretended resentment, "In Brother An's eyes, is the slave family such a bad woman?" As she spoke, her shoulders trembled slightly, she raised her hands and wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeves.

Xie An shook his head speechlessly and said, "Okay, okay, what is the matter?" ”
"Brother An hasn't replied to the slave family yet......"
Looking at the blinking eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An raised a little smile at the corner of his mouth, and said jokingly, "Ah, a good woman won't leave a certain man in the boudoir in the middle ......of the night, and sleep with him."
Obviously, this is not what the eldest grandson Xiangyu wanted to hear, under Xie An's playful gaze, she gritted her teeth hatefully, and grabbed Xie An's neck with both hands. Said viciously, "What did you say, Xie An? You repeat?! ”
"I said, I said that the eldest grandson Xiangyu is a good woman, one of the best women in the world......"
"It's almost ......" Eldest Sun Xiangyu giggled in satisfaction and put his hands around Xie An's neck. The delicate body rubbed Xie An's body, and said softly, "Brother An, people want to go to the Lantern Festival tomorrow, can you take them there?" ”
Xie An was stunned, frowned and said, "Are you crazy?" According to Xiao Tao, the eldest grandson Shilang is still angry these days, in case he learns about it. Then I'm in big trouble......"
"Look at your worthless look!" Eldest Sun Xiangyu looked at Xie An angrily, and said unhappily, "Are you going to marry me, or the daughter of Eldest Sun Jing?" ”
Xie An understood the deep meaning of her words, and said with a smile, "Actually, whether it's you or the eldest grandson's daughter." Or the granddaughter of Yingong, I want to marry...... Isn't it a bit greedy? Marry three at once? ”
Rao is the eldest grandson Xiangyu. couldn't help but be amused by Xie An's words, and after glancing at Xie An angrily, she whispered, "Listen, I've already inquired, that guy will accompany the Son of Heaven to the Zhengyang Gate of the palace tomorrow to watch the lantern festival." After that, the Son of Heaven also had to arrange banquets in various halls of the palace to entertain hundreds of officials, therefore, before the time of the child. That guy isn't coming back...... All Brother An had to do was to smuggle the slave out after that guy left the house...... Those guys outside the house aren't the rivals of your friend on the roof, are they? Since this person can bring Brother An here, he can naturally smuggle the slave family out without being noticed by others! ”
"This ......" Xie An touched his chin, looking a little hesitant.
Seeing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu narrowed his eyes, put his face close to Xie An's neck, and giggled in his ear, "If Brother An doesn't agree, the slave family is in a bad mood, and maybe they will shout and make a fuss, there are dozens of family members outside the house, if they are seen...... Giggles! ”
"Hey, hey, hey!" Looking at the threatening look in the eyes of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, Xie An sighed angrily, and after thinking for a while, Zhengse said, "Then you promise a few things......
As if he had seen through Xie An's thoughts, the eldest grandson Xiangyu grinned and said, "Don't worry, the slave family will be very well-behaved, no matter what Brother An says, the slave family will do it, okay?" ”
"Really?"
"Really!" The eldest grandson, Xiangyu, nodded vigorously.
At this moment, there was a slight sound of footsteps outside the boudoir, and then, Xiao Tao's panicked voice came into the ears of Xie An and the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
"Husband...... Madame, Mademoiselle is resting, you can't go in......"
"Huh? But there are still candles lit in the house......"
"Yes...... That's right, the young lady is resting with a candle ......"
"Little Peach? Why are you so alarmed...... The concubine just wanted to talk to Xiangyu about the Lantern Festival on the other day......"
"Yes, but ......"
Listening carefully, the eldest grandson Xiangyu lowered his voice and said, "It's Chang's ......."
"Chang's?" Looking at the swaying figure on the paper on the door and window, Xie An's face changed greatly.
He naturally knew who the Chang family in the mouth of the eldest grandson Xiangyu was referring to, that was the main room of the eldest grandson Jing, and also the biological mother of the eldest grandson, and the hostess of the mansion of the eldest grandson.
If this lady sees it, she will stay here in the middle of the night......
Thinking of the critical place, Xie An broke out in a cold sweat and looked around, looking for a place to hide.
At this time, there was a tuk tuk knock outside the door, and Chang's steady tone of questioning.
"Xiangyu, have you stopped? The concubine has something she wants to discuss with Xiangyu......"
Glancing at the panicked Xie An, the eldest grandson Xiangyu sighed angrily, pulled up the thick futon on the couch, let Xie An hide in the quilt, and then said lightly, "Come in!" ”
But hearing the sound of squeaking the door, Chang Yingying walked up, followed by Xiao Tao with a panicked face.
Very unexpectedly, as the biological mother of Changsun Sheng, the eldest grandson of the eldest grandson, Chang is obviously over thirty years old, but from her appearance, she can't see it at all, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her willow waist and lotus face exude a beautiful atmosphere between her gestures, she is really a graceful, dignified and beautiful woman.
"Auntie came here late at night, what's the matter?" Eldest Sun Xiangyu said with a cold expression.
Hearing the word aunt, Chang sighed secretly, moved over, sat on the edge of the couch, and said with a wry smile, "Xiangyu still resents his aunt?" ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson Xiangyu glanced at Chang and said nothing.
Chang married into the eldest grandson's family at the age of seventeen. Soon after the entry, Sun Xiangyu's father, Changsun Jingfu, has been in the main room for 14 years, speaking of which, this woman is one of the few people in the family who can talk to the eldest grandson Xiangyu's biological mother, Wang, over the years, Chang has also secretly taken care of Wang and eldest grandson Xiangyu's mother and daughter in life. It is precisely because of this that the eldest grandson Xiangyu did not calculate this woman like the two concubines before the calculation, but this does not mean that the eldest grandson Xiangyu has a good impression of her.
The Wang family married into the eldest grandson's family for nineteen years, and until her death, she was still only a concubine, but Chang became the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family not long after she entered the school, which made the eldest grandson Xiangyu unable to let go.
For this reason, the eldest grandson Xiangyu always has a mustard in his heart, and it is also because of this. She didn't plan to harm the Chang family, but she didn't want to get too close to the Chang family, although she also knew that even if the Chang family didn't marry into the eldest grandson's family back then, her biological mother Wang would not be able to become the daughter-in-law of the eldest grandson's family.
Seeing that the eldest grandson Xiangyu didn't speak for a long time, Chang sighed quietly, barely showed a smile, and said. "Xiangyu, the concubine knows that this life cannot replace the Wang family's position in your heart. The matter of the Wang family, the concubine is very sorry......"
Speaking of which, Chang also knew about the mother and daughter of the Wang family and the eldest grandson Xiangyu, and to be honest, she also wanted to help the poor mother and daughter. It's just that at that time, she had just married into the eldest grandson's family, and she was not able to gain a firm foothold among the many wives and concubines of the eldest grandson, so how could she help the Wang family?
And by the time she had the ability to help Wang, Wang was already seriously ill, which could not but be said to be an extremely regrettable thing.
In all fairness. Chang loves the eldest grandson Xiangyu, the daughter born to the Wang family, and because of this, she promised the Wang family on her deathbed to take care of the eldest grandson Xiangyu for her, after all, the eldest grandson Xiangyu has been beautiful since he was a child, and he is smart and clever, but unfortunately, the eldest grandson Xiangyu is not very close to her, even if she takes the initiative to contact the eldest grandson Xiangyu.
"Don't mention the past, if my aunt has nothing to do, please go back to the room early to rest!"
"......" Chang's red lips opened slightly, sighed secretly, barely put on a smile, and said, "That's the case, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, the lord wants to accompany His Majesty to the palace, not in the house, my aunt thought to herself, Xiangyu has suffered these days, why not take advantage of tomorrow's lantern festival...... Auntie has taken care of everything, tomorrow Xiangyu and Auntie, and Sheng'er, I will wait for the three of us to go out for a stroll together, okay? ”
The eldest grandson Xiangyu raised his eyes to look at Chang's and said lightly, "I understand my aunt's intentions, no need!" Tomorrow I just want to rest in my room! ”
"This ......" Chang sighed faintly, suddenly, her complexion changed slightly, because she saw that there was a pair of men's boots under the bed, subconsciously, she turned her head to look around, and then put her eyes on the slightly raised place on the couch, staring at it.
Xiangyu, the child, actually hid a man in the room?
Recalling Fang Cai Xiaotao's panicked expression, Chang's heart was shocked.
With the intelligence of the eldest grandson Xiangyu, he naturally caught Chang's wrong look, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought of the reason, and secretly screamed in his heart.
At that moment, another conversation came from outside the house.
"Is Madame here?"
"Master Qiyu, yes! Madame was talking to the young lady in the house......"
"Good! Madam? ”
Even if he was covered in the quilt, Xie An could still hear the voice of Changsun Jing, and at that moment, Xie An could be said to be in despair.
Good guy, Sun Jing, the head of the military department......
When is it not good, but now?
If this is caught, even if he is the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, I am afraid that he will be beaten to death by him......
Xie Anxin was frightened, and the atmosphere in the room was even more tense, listening to the footsteps of the eldest grandson Jing getting closer and closer, neither Chang nor the eldest grandson Xiangyu spoke.
Glancing at the place where Xie An was hiding, Chang was secretly anxious in his heart.
The child was really getting bolder and bolder, and in the middle of the night she had a private meeting with the man she admired in the boudoir, and hid this person on the couch, if her father knew about it......
Thinking of this, Chang quietly kicked Xie An's shoes under the bed, then stood up and put down the gauze tent on the bed.
As soon as the gauze tent was put down, Changsun Jing walked into the house, glanced at the direction of the bed, turned his head and said to Chang, "How are you talking?" ”
Chang smiled slightly and said, "The concubine has already told Xiangyu about the Lantern Festival tomorrow, but this child seems to have suffered from the wind and cold in the past few days. The body is weak, whether she can go to the lantern festival with the concubine depends on her physical condition tomorrow......" As she spoke, she quietly stopped her husband's action of teasing the bill.
"That's ......" Changsun Jing nodded, turned his head to look at the figure of his daughter in the gauze tent, and said in a deep voice. In that case, let's talk about it tomorrow, and if you get better tomorrow, ask your aunt to take you to the Lantern Festival...... It's not unreasonable to be a father, it's just that you're too presumptuous these days! ”
"Master......" Chang shook his head and persuaded softly, "Xiangyu, this child has been very well-behaved these days, so you don't have to train her again...... It's not early, so don't affect the child's rest. I'll go back first......"
"Hmm," Eldest Sun Jing nodded when he heard this, then looked at the yarn tent and said in a deep voice, "There is one more thing!" You will be less unclear with that Xie An in the future, this person is talented, but he has a relationship with the Liangqiu family of Donggong Mansion and married Liangqiu, the daughter of Dongzhenhou
Dance for the wife, these days. The Liang Qiu family is preparing for the marriage application, and you follow him all day long. What kind of system? The daughter of my eldest grandson's family, do you still want to make him a child? ”
Xie An?
Could it be Xie An, the young secretary of the Great Prison Temple?
Looking at her husband with an angry face, Chang glanced at the gauze tent, secretly remembered the name in his heart, and then saw that his husband seemed to have something to say. hurriedly said, "Master, Xiangyu has already known that she is wrong, she has been very well-behaved these days, isn't she?" ”
"That's ......," Eldest Sun Jing, who didn't know the hidden reason, nodded. After thinking for a while, he said to his daughter in a deep voice, "Since this is the case, you can rest and don't make another incident!" If something happens again, my father will never spare you! ”
"Xiangyu, this child already knows that she is wrong, so don't discipline her for no reason......" persuaded repeatedly, Chang pushed her husband and left together.
As soon as the two left the room, Xiao Tao immediately closed the door, and at this time, the eldest grandson Xiangyu reached out and lifted the gauze tent, glanced under the bed, and saw that Xie An's shoes were kicked under the bed, and her eyes showed a bit of complexity.
"Whew!" Picking up the quilt and taking a long breath, Xie An patted his chest and laughed at himself, "I'm scared to death, if this is a few more times, a few lives will not be enough...... Xiangyu, what's wrong with you? ”
Glancing at the direction of the door with a complicated expression, the eldest grandson Xiangyu shook his head slightly, regained his usual smile, and giggled, "Look at your useless appearance, the slave family thought you would jump out and reason with that guy!" ”
"Theory? Crazy, right? Xie An glanced at the eldest grandson Xiangyu angrily.
"Giggle...... "The eldest grandson Xiangyu chuckled, and then looked at the flickering candle flame on the candlestick, thoughtful.
Xie An naturally didn't know that the reason why he was able to escape was because of Chang's secret help, but because he was lucky, he secretly buried Chen Bei on the roof.
How did he know that Chen Bei was not on the roof of the eldest grandson Xiangyu's boudoir at the moment, but at the foot of a stone bridge a few miles away from the eldest grandson's house.
"Come out! Don't you want to see me? Glancing at the darkness in the distance, Chen Bei shook his hand and threw out the paper ball in his hand.
I only heard a slight sound on the ground, and a person walked out of the darkness in the distance, and in the bright moonlight, it was not difficult to find that this person was Ji Hong, who took back the money bag for Xie An today.
Glancing around, seeing that there was no abnormality in the surroundings, Ji Hong approached Chen Bei with a smile, still with that gentle and elegant appearance, walked in front of Chen Bei, hugged his fists, and said in a low voice, "[Heavenly Power Divine General] Ji Hong, I have seen the commander-in-chief!" ”
Chen Bei nodded slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Ji Hong, have you forgotten the rules?" Only Ben Shuai can contact you, and you can't take the initiative to contact Ben Shuai! Not an example! ”
Ji Hong smiled slightly when he heard this, clenched his fists and said, "The last general will be guilty!" The last general just met Chen Shuai by chance in the city today, and was very surprised, so he dared to contact Chen Shuai...... Why is Chen Shuai in Jijing? Isn't it a big deal? Why didn't the last general know? ”
Chen Bei raised his eyes and glanced at Ji Hong, and said lightly, "It's best not to ask about things that shouldn't be asked!" Ben Shuai granted you the status of [Six Divine Generals], but in the same way, you also remember to Ben Shuai that if you do anything against the interests of our army, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, Ben Shuai will still kill you! No matter how fast your sword is, if Chen wants to kill you, it will be effortless! ”
Ji Hong's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he bowed his head and said respectfully, "The last general will never dare to have the slightest dissent!" ”
"Okay, you can explain, why when you were in Jiangnan Province, the righteous soldiers in our army wanted to kill Li Xian, why did you want to stop it?"
Ji Hong licked his lips and whispered. "Chen Shuai once granted us the privilege of [Six Divine Generals] and told us to judge the current situation for ourselves...... The Chang'an rebels failed, and Chen Shuai did not kill Xiang Wang Li Mao according to the plan, leading Wairong into the frontier, so the final general judged. Instead of killing Li Xian, it is better to leave him behind and ask him to fight for power with Li Mao! Li Wei, the prince of the East Palace in Jijing, is not Li Mao's opponent! ”
"......" glanced at Ji Hong deeply, Chen Bei thought for a moment when he heard this, and asked, "Li Xian has entered Beijing?" ”
"Yes......"
"From today onwards, every three days, I will tell Ben Shuai all the news about Li Xian. If there is any concealment...... The person who can hold the position of [Six Divine Generals], Ben Shuai has! ”
"Yes, the last general obeys!" Ji Hong lowered his head, and when he raised his head again, Chen Bei had already disappeared into the night.
Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Ji Hong looked around and returned to the inn where he stayed.
As soon as I entered the room, a question rang out from inside the room.
"How?"
Took a deep breath. Ji Hong nodded and said, "It is indeed Chen Bei, the third-generation coach of my Taiping Army......"
The man sitting in the room frowned slightly. On the lights in the house, it is not difficult to find that this person has some similarities with Li Shou, the king of Anping, calculating the age of this person, and then looking at his bearing, he is undoubtedly the eighth son of today's son Li Ji. [King of the Eight Sages] Li Xian.
"The commander of the Taiping Army, what are you doing in Jijing? Could it be that he is here to assassinate Xiao Wang? ”
Seeing Li Xian's chuckling look, Ji Hong frowned and said, "This is not a funny thing, if you are targeted by him." Ten won't save you! ”
Li Xian was slightly stunned and asked in surprise, "You seem to be afraid of him?" ”
Ji Hong sighed, frowned and said, "I think, the Taiping army is not afraid of his ......."
"So what are you going to do? Did you kill this king? Li Xian said with a calm face.
Glancing at Li Xian deeply, Ji Hong said with a straight face, "I'm still the same sentence...... I will help you ascend the throne and help you become the Son of Heaven of the Great Zhou, you have the ability and bearing to become the Son of Heaven, even if you are a soldier in my Taiping Army, there are many people who support you...... I also believe that you will not cross the river and tear down the bridge, but ......"
"But?"
"But it's just me who supports you......"
"Enough!" Li Xian smiled slightly, and said firmly, "As long as the [Boss Chen] in your mouth doesn't come to assassinate Xiao Wang in person, the rest of the people, Xiao Wang believes that you can take care of the ...... for you."
"You seem confident?" A hint of surprise flashed in Ji Hong's eyes, and he shook his head and said, "You're so sure that you can beat the rest of the princes?" As far as I know, my Taiping Army's expectations for your fourth brother Li Mao are more than your land......"
"But it failed, didn't it?" Li Xian said lightly, "Otherwise, I wouldn't want to take advantage of the Chang'an rebels to lure Xiao Wang's fourth brother to move south...... Tsk, what a ruthless trick! If the fourth brother leads the army south, you can kill that commander Chen on the battlefield, and one of the [six god generals] lurking in the north can seize military power. Speaking of which, this king is a little puzzled, Xie An, who ruined your plan, is still alive now...... Hehe, interesting! ”
"What are you laughing at?" Ji Hong asked in surprise.
Li Xian shook his head slightly, and said with a chuckle, "Xiao Wang just thinks that the Shaoqing of the Great Prison Temple, Lord Xie Anxie, is a little interesting, according to what you said, the Liangqiu family of the Donggong Mansion is preparing for his marriage to Liangqiu Wu, tsk, if this matter is known by the fourth brother, hehehe......"
"You're going to deal with that Xie An?"
"Deal with?" Li Xian was stunned, then shook his head and said, "No! This person is the hero of the Great Zhou, if he hadn't sabotaged your Taiping army's plans, the northern frontier would be in big trouble! Although he doesn't know the key, he still has a favor with my Da Zhou Li family, and if there is a chance in the future, Xiao Wang will support him! ”
"He is your brother Li Shou's confidant......"
"Xiao Jiu's henchman?" Li Xian shook his head and said with a chuckle, "Xiao Jiu is fledgling, it is difficult to compete with Xiao Wang for the throne, count and count, and the only ones who can pose a threat to Xiao Wang are the fourth brother and the one from the East Palace......" Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Ji Hong, frowned and said, "According to what you said, under the command of our brothers, are there the [six god generals] of your Taiping Army lurking inside?" ”
"Not really, it's just a few people who are qualified to win the throne, you, King Xiang Li Mao, the prince of the East Palace...... As far as I know, it's just the three of you! The task of our six gods is to ensure that we know your whereabouts, and if you do something uncontrollable, we will step in and eradicate you! ”
"This is really ......" Li Xian laughed bitterly when he heard this, and after thinking about it for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Mr. Ji, find out the so-called [Six Divine Generals] for this king!" Name, identity, position! ”
Ji Hong frowned, shook his head and said, "It's not easy!" We and the six gods have no contact with each other in private, and we don't know the details, only Chen Shuai, who promoted and recruited us, knows about it......"
"Then start with that Chen Shuai!"
"You're crazy, aren't you? Chen Shuai was obviously already suspicious of me...... Don't say I didn't remind you, Chen Shuai subdued me with one move, if he learned that I told you everything......"
Li Xian smiled slightly and said, "Then don't let him know...... Xiao Wang still said the same thing, whether it is the Southern Tang Dynasty or the Great Zhou, now that the two have become one, there is no need to add lives to the grievances of thirty years! ”
Looking at Li Xian's serious eyes, Ji Hong nodded helplessly and said, "I'll try my best!" Don't report too much hope, none of the people who can serve as the six gods are easy to deal with......"
Li Xian smiled stunned when he heard this, and said with a bit of teasing, "Are you praising yourself?" ”
Ji Hong shook his head speechlessly, and then, as if he had thought of something, he frowned and said, "By the way, when are you going to bring the matter of that East Palace colluding with the Jinling Weilou assassin to slander Zhongliang to the imperial court?" ”
"Hmm...... The day after tomorrow! ”
"The day after tomorrow?" Ji Hong was stunned when he heard this, looked at Li Xian and said with a strange face, "You came to Jijing day and night this month, don't you really just want to visit the lantern festival in Jijing?" It's too dangerous, the assassins of the dangerous building chased me all the way from Jinling and waited here, if the prince of the East Palace learned that you had returned to Jijing, he sent [Ghost Queen] Jin Ling'er to assassinate you......"
"Hehe," Li Xian glanced at Ji Hong and said with a narrow smile, "The famous [Quick Sword] Ji Hong, it's just a matter of being afraid of your Chen Dashuai, why is even a woman so afraid?" You're a [Six Divine Generals]! ”
"The problem is that it's no ordinary woman!" Ji Hong glared at Li Xian angrily, and said, "You don't know, that Jin Ling'er is good at disguise, and she is also good at using poison and killing people invisibly...... I can't guarantee that I'll protect you at all times! Tomorrow morning, you will enter the palace, as long as you officially appear, the crown prince Li Wei will not dare to touch you again! ”
"No way!" Li Xian shook his head when he heard this, glanced at the candlestick on the table, and said with a slight sigh, "Xiao Wang has been missing an appointment with a person for several years, and this year, I will accompany her to visit the lantern festival of the Shangyuan Festival in Jijing!" ”
"Crazy, aren't you? Perhaps the crown prince Li Wei has learned of your entry into Beijing and is secretly preparing to assassinate you before you enter the court...... For the sake of a woman, at the cost of risk? No way! I don't allow this! ”
"Mr. Ji ......"
"Hugh is going to say it again! You don't know, right now, Jijing is not only a group of assassins in Jinling Weilou! ”
"......" Li Xian was stunned when he heard this, and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean?" ”
"That's what I learned by chance when I inquired about the news in the city today, in the capital of Hebei, there are two groups of assassins lurking in Dongling and Weilou, a few days ago, these two groups of assassins clashed on the street in the middle of the night, during which they killed hundreds of guards of the patrol division of Weiwei Temple......"
"Hongshan Dongling? Jinling dangerous building? ”
"That's right! Although I don't know what these two groups of assassins are planning, it is not difficult to guess that the current Jijing is not as calm as before, and during this period, you still plan to accompany a woman to the Lantern Festival? ”
Li Xian shook his head with a smile when he heard this.
"That's no ordinary woman......" (To be continued.) )
