Seeing that my face was embarrassed, Boru smiled and put the baby in my hand: "Aunt Ashi's gift, let's ask her for it in twenty years." ”

I was helpless to hold the baby in my hands, and my whole body stiffened for a while, and I was afraid that I would hurt him if I was not careful.

"What kind of gift do you want to ask for for your eldest son?" Shameless asked with a smile.

"When my eldest son has done the crown ceremony, I will marry Aunt Ashi's daughter, and I will envy the men in the dead world at that time! Hahaha...... "After Beru finished speaking, he was happy.

Wuxian picked up the child from my hand and handed it back to Berlu, and said word by word: "How can her daughter marry your son?" My brother was really confused. ”

As soon as he said this, Bolu and I were both stunned, and then Bolu patted his head and apologized to Wuxian again and again: "Then ask Aunt Ah Shi to have a sister, and go to Uncle Mingyi's house to marry a daughter, it is just as beautiful." ”

After I understood, I turned my head and glared at Zhao Wuxian fiercely, and then touched the baby's tender fetal hair and said softly: "It's okay to go back and give you a congratulatory gift for Aunt Ashi?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the little baby actually showed his smooth gums and smiled.

"Which one is a beauty do you recognize at such a young age? O womanizer! Bo Lu laughed and handed the child to the concubine beside him, then pulled Zhao Wuxian and whispered, "You come with me, I have something to discuss with you." ”

Seeing this, I also hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and went back to the small courtyard given to me by Zhao Ying outside the city alone.

Although Shi Mo opened a new courtyard for me in the Taishi Mansion after the apprenticeship, living in someone else's house is not as quiet as a single family by the muddy water. Therefore, for more than half a month after returning from Huangchi, I stayed in Taishi Mansion during the day to learn Yin and Yang Bagua and Five Elements Astrology with Shi Mo and Yin Gao.

Time has come to the end of summer in a blink of an eye, and the wild lotus by the muddy water has bloomed one after another. The river breeze at night is already a little cooler, but the sun is still hot during the day. At dusk on this day, the clouds were thick, and a heavy rain extinguished the heat on the ground, so I simply opened the courtyard door and the door of the house, and took a cattail mat and sat under the eaves to enjoy the shade.

During my absence, the two little maids sent by the Zhao Mansion took good care of the two hibiscus flowers planted without shirts. At this moment, several flowers bloomed on the emerald green branches. The white and purple flowers were stained with dripping rain, and hung their heads delicately, like a shy girl drinking the wine brewed by the sunset, drunk and charming.

Hibiscus is A-Niang's favorite flower during her lifetime. Every time I passed by someone's courtyard, if two or three flowers bloomed outside the wall, she would hold me there for a while, looking at it stupidly. Zheng Weizhi called the hibiscus "Shunhua", and its beauty at that moment was like a mother's love. Morning and evening, no matter how beautiful the flowers are, they only bloom for one day.

Usually when I go out, it is already open, and if I come back late in the evening, it is already gone. Two good delicate flowers, but they made me feel a lot of sentimentality for no reason.

However, because of the hot weather for the past two days, I stayed in the courtyard, and I realized that although the hibiscus blooms for only one day, it can bloom new flowers every day. Every morning, it is using its most beautiful posture to welcome the new day's sunrise. I suddenly felt that the firmness and persistence hidden under this thin branch was the reason why A-Niang really loved it.

"No mercy, if this kid doesn't speak, he sits against the door like this every day, just let me take out my heart and give it to her!" Standing at the gate of the courtyard with his right hand pressed his sword, he sighed, "It's a pity, I'm not a dumb person after all!" ”

"Why are you here?" I was just about to put on my shoes and come down to meet them, but I hurriedly raised my hand and said, "Don't come down, the ground is wet, don't stain your shoes." ”

Shirtless and Candlestick entered the courtyard with a smile, and behind them came seven or eight more sword-wielding rangers. My little yard was packed in no time.

"Bring me two more mats!" I instructed the maidservant, and I went into the house and moved two small tables and put them at the door, "Although it has just rained at this time, the house is still a little stuffy, so you might as well sit here and talk!" I made a new jar of syrup half a month ago, and I drank a bowl to cool off the heat. ”

"Don't be busy, sit down, and let the servant take care of it." The shirtless took my hand and told me to sit down.

Candle Chu grinned and leaned in front of us and teased: "It's only been two months since I went to Huangchi, how can I look like an old husband and wife?" Shirtless, what did you do to win the hearts of beauties? ”

"Brother Candle, don't think that everyone thinks the same as you in their heads, seeing a woman is love, love, can't a woman be a close friend?" I poured a large bowl of the water brought by the maidservant and handed it to him, "Drink more, sober up." ”

Wuxian lowered his eyes when he heard my words, and said lightly: "Let's get down to business!" Seven days later, we set off from Xinjiang to Yongcheng, and when we arrived, we ......"

The assassination of the crown prince was carefully planned. When the deed is done, everyone who participates will receive 50 gold. In fact, the division of labor in the assassination is light and heavy, some are safer and some are more dangerous, but the group of people in front of them obeyed Zhao Wuxian's words without the slightest doubt, and they all looked like they were trusting their lives.

"What do you think is wrong with this plan?" After finishing speaking, he turned to me and asked.

I pursed my lips and smiled: "There is nothing wrong, but as far as I know, when the prince was originally intending to attack Jin, he had promised a large area of land south of Weishui to the two countries of Bashu without Qin Bo, but now the war has not been completed, but the debt has to be repaid." ”

"Whether you owe debts or not is the Prince of Qin's own business, what do we have to do?" Candlestick untied his sword at his waist and sat on the cattail mat with his legs on a pan.

Wuxian pondered for a moment and said to me: "Are you afraid that the two countries of Bashu will force Prince Qin to cede the land, but Uncle Qin will not allow it?" ”

"Well, if the three kingdoms of Qin, Jin, and Wu had gone to war and Qin had won the land of Jin, then it would be okay for Uncle Qin to give up a few cities to Bashu. But the prince returned in vain this time, and the two ** teams of Bashu were not damaged at all, so Qin Bo naturally refused to cut the land for nothing. For the crown prince, the two countries of Bashu are its external troubles. Aggressive, the prince who covets his position as the prince is an internal worry. ”

"Under internal and external troubles, are you afraid that he will unite with Bashu and rebel to seize the throne?"

"This is exactly what I am worried about, if you come to the Qin Kingdom, you will encounter war ......"

"At that time, what we will do is not to assassinate, but to take the head of the general among the ten thousand armies." There was no fear on Wuxian's face, but he smiled at a few rangers, "Among you, are there any people who are afraid?" ”

"What are you afraid of! When the time comes, the master's head will be more than fifty gold, let them Qin people spend a hundred gold to buy it! The tall and strong, bare-chested ranger laughed loudly.

"Well, if that's the case, after the deed is done, one person will get a hundred gold!" No shirt shouted promises.

After agreeing on the time and place of departure, the rangers rode away. Wuxian hugged the syrup I gave him and stood by the courtyard gate: "I'll take this back to drink, I didn't come to you in vain today, I know that you can always find out my mistakes." ”

"Then you must be glad that I have always been friends and enemies with you." I leaned against the courtyard gate and smiled.

Wuxian's eyes flickered, and he smiled again: "After seven days, I will send someone to pick you up, don't bring too many things, I will help you prepare your things." ”

"Okay." I nodded.

"Then I'm leaving!"

Wuxian turned over and got on the horse, I thought about it and grabbed his reins again: "Although the muddy water to Fenglingdu is downstream, from Fenglingdu to Yongcheng you have to change the land route." After spending half a month on the road like this, you may really have started a war in the Qin State, so you must remember to bring your armor. Also, Qin Di is much colder than Jin Kingdom, remember to bring a thicker jacket. ”

Listening to my intent, with a flickering halo in his eyes, he leaned down from his horse and rubbed my hair with his hand: "Do you think I didn't think of this? Long-winded woman, I won't let you freeze, let's go! After speaking, a kick in the horse's belly, a ride to the dust.

In the early morning of the second day after I bid farewell to Shi Mo and Yin Gao, a carriage from the Zhao Mansion came to pick me up in the small courtyard.

After I had instructed the servant a few words, I jumped into the carriage with my burden on my back, and as soon as I lifted the curtain, I found that there was a woman sitting in the carriage with her hair combed and her hair combed in a double high bun, wearing a red and black curly robe, and a long sword at her waist.

"It turns out that you are the Qin girl who kept Xun Ji awake at night!" Before I could speak, the woman had already turned around my face with a pair of apricot eyes, and said crisply, "What's your name?" ”

A woman's saber is really rare, and I couldn't help but look at her twice: "Disciple of Taishi, Zi Di." Dare to ask what the noble lady is? ”

"The old girl of the Zhao family, Bo Ying." The woman patted the position beside her and said loudly, "Sit down, I heard my father talk about you, and you look like a child." ”

"Thank you!" I bowed and sat down beside her.

The carriage was running on the bumpy road, and Bo Ying stared at me intently and smiled, laughing so much that I felt uncomfortable.

"Do you think my outfit is too strange?" At the moment, my long hair was tied into a ponytail with gold at the back of my head, and I was wearing a dark green men's Confucian costume with a pair of bearded trousers inside, which looked a little strange.

"No, I just think you're good-looking." She reached out and picked up my long hair hanging behind me, touched it lightly, and said with a smile, "If there is a man in the Jin Kingdom who looks like you, I don't have to go to the Qin Kingdom to find any good people." Zi Di, since you are a Qin girl, have you ever heard of General Wu Feng of Qin? ”

Since they have decided to go back, some people have something to avoid. I nodded and replied slowly, "When I was in the Qin Kingdom, I had the honor to meet General Wu, and some people in their mansion even said that I looked like a clan girl adopted by the general. ”

"He has a daughter who looks like you?" Bo Huan put down my hair, pressed the sword and lowered his head and smiled, "Now I have to change it, I won't be able to sleep at night in the future." ”

"I heard that the clan daughter of Wufu fell into the water and died half a year ago, so you don't need to mind." I spoke in a calm tone, as if I was talking about a person who had nothing to do with me thousands of miles away.
