Chapter 143: Negative Qi Escape
Anyway, we stayed. Although only a small part of the dormitory was built, it was enough for the five of us. Besides, the houses in the city have been occupied by others, and we have no way out.
The house is fairly large, but the workmanship is noticeably rough. The beams and columns don't look so regular. Is this the level of craftsmanship in Xiqi?
In addition, it had just rained, and the dampness in the house had not dissipated, which made me feel very uncomfortable. Although I am an immortal and will not be attacked by moisture, this does not mean that I do not feel it, and my senses are more acute than mortals, which will inevitably trigger my neurosis.
At night, lying on the damp and cold couch, I was in pain and could not sleep. In the haze, I heard a wolf howl again.
I sat up in shock. I saw two slave girls running into my room together, "Princess, there are wolves!" ”
I got up and walked out the door, "I'm going to kill them!" ”
Unexpectedly, a female slave girl hugged my thigh, "Princess, don't go, I'm afraid!" ”
Another slave girl said, "Princess, there are so many wolves out there!" You kill these few, and there will be others. ”
I felt helpless, "Come, come and sleep in my room!" ”
I finally spent the night. After the stored food is eaten, three meals a day becomes a problem again. It's a long way from the bazaar, so you have to cross the Weishui River into the city to buy.
Two slave girls are afraid of wolves when they go out. So I sent my guards with them. The guard was a little entangled, "What about you, princess?" ”
"Go! I don't need your protection. If something really happens, I'm afraid I'll have to protect you! ”
After they left, I sat alone in the room and closed my eyes and meditated.
I'm Nezha! When did you become so submissive and at the mercy of others?
I am Prime Minister Jiang Shang's nephew and Xibo Jichang's life-saving benefactor, how did I get mixed up like this?
It took a long time for the slave girls and the guards to return. Although they didn't dare to say anything in front of me, it didn't mean that they wouldn't whisper behind my back. And I can hear all these whispers.
Actually, I don't have to think about it to know who is against me. But what I didn't expect was that those guys had already spread the news all over the city. The purpose was nothing more than to force me to leave.
There was a thunderstorm that night, and a ball of thunder fell on my roof, almost setting my house on fire.
The next morning, I heard a rattling of the house, and immediately got up and picked up the two slave girls who were half asleep, and rushed out the door while shouting the names of the guards.
As soon as we went out, the house collapsed.
The guards and I worked hard for a long time, picking up our clothes and luggage from the rubble, and then loading the car across Weishui and rushing to Xiqi City.
I went to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, but I didn't see Jiang Shang. It turned out that half a month ago, he went to the military camp outside the city and personally commanded the training of Nangong Shi and Lu Ding.
Mrs. Shen Jiang saw my embarrassed appearance and hurriedly asked what was going on.
"My house collapsed. There is no place to live. "After listening to my account of what happened, Mrs. Shen Jiang immediately began to scold Xibo's family.
"You know what? Your sister Yi Jiang is having a hard time every day. As for the brothers of the world, there are seven people and eight hearts, and each one is better than the other. Especially the third, fifth, and eighth children, as well as their two uncles, are the least things. That house of yours was built by the old eight! The edicts of the Hou Mansion are usually written by the third child. They must have teamed up to kill you. ”
Of course, I know all of this. But what can be done?
Shen Jiang sighed, "The prince is loyal and gentle by nature, where is the opponent of his brothers......"
"Then," I said, "isn't the fourth son okay......
"You said Ji Dan! He is the most treacherous. Shen Jiang said, "Nezha, you don't know. The eldest brother of the original son died early, and Xibo did not have a son for many years. At that time, the most promising person was not the second son, but the third son, Ji Xian. ”
"And this?" I asked, "The second son is older!" ”
"What's the use of being older?" Shen Jiang asked rhetorically, "Xibo's father, Wang Ji, is the third child, didn't the prince pass the throne to him the same?" As a result, his two older brothers were forced to leave. Moreover, the two old guys, Yu Zhong and Uncle Yu, were also confused by Ji Xian back then, and supported him together. ”
"At that time, Ji Dan was still young, and he knew that the competition was not as good as Ji Xian, so he contacted the sixth, seventh, and ninth children to support the prince together, plus many old ministers in the court hated Yu Zhong and Uncle Yu's brothers, and they all supported the prince, which made the prince sit firmly in his position."
As a result, the prince has always been grateful to his younger brother, and he obeyed his words and did not have his own opinions at all. This is not what the old body said, even your uncle said so. Your uncle also didn't want to get involved in their family's infighting, so he hid in the barracks. ”
"Alas!" Mrs. Shen Jiang continued, "These brothers of the prince, that is, Xibo's righteous son Ji Zheng and concubine Ji Gao, are still relatively upright. There is also Lao Jiujifeng, who is also a good person. ”
I temporarily housed the slave girls and the guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then stepped on the Hot Wheels and went straight to the barracks outside the city.
My appearance out of thin air caused a commotion in the barracks. Fortunately, Lu Ding soon appeared and led me into the tent.
"Princess," Jiang Shang asked, "what are you doing here?" ”
"The disciple has come to bid farewell to his uncle." I couldn't help but shed tears, "The disciple misses his parents and doesn't want to stay here for a moment. ”
Jiang Shang looked at me, his brows furrowed, his face displeased, but there was no trace of sympathy. "Three days later, Ben Shuai will go west to the north to conquer the dogs. Nezha, you have been living in Xiqi for ten months, how much time can you go back to your hometown to visit relatives? Why do you want to leave when I need you? ”
I couldn't help but be angry. If you don't say it beforehand, then how do I know? "Uncle Shi, then I'll go back now, and I'll definitely return in three days."
Jiang Shang looked at me, "Chentang Pass is four thousand miles away from Xiqi. Even if you can arrive within a day, how can Madame Yin stay with you for a few more days? How can the old man's army of 100,000 wait for you alone? ”
"Nezha, Uncle Shi knows that you have been repeatedly excluded recently, which is not easy. However, not many people know about your contribution to escorting Xibo and rescuing the Huang family. And when you live in Xiqi, it can be said that you have not made an inch, but you enjoy the fame and fortune of the princess, and it is normal to be jealous. ”
"If you go with me to Xirong this time, make meritorious achievements, and establish a prestige, see who dares to say more! Your situation, Senior Brother Taiyi, already knows. If you are bored, you can go to Qianyuan Mountain. Jiang Shang paused and said meaningfully, "The prince, the lady and the prince are very concerned about you on weekdays. Before you go, say goodbye to them. ”
I thought for a moment, "Okay then! Obey my uncle's orders. ”
I returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, changed into the silk long-sleeved shirt and rose-colored vest hot pants that Princess Airi had given me, and entered the Hou Mansion.
Ji Chang was in Mrs. Taiji's room at this time. When Tai Ji saw my dress, she asked, "Why is Miss Nezha dressed so beautifully today?" ”
I owe a salute, "Nezha is here to bid farewell to the adults and ladies today, Nezha misses his parents and wants to ...... Go home ......" said this, already in tears.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Ji Chang stared at my face and asked, "Did you suffer any grievances?" I heard that the women's branch is basically completed, and I haven't had time to see ......."
"Nezha received an edict from the Hou Mansion the day before yesterday to let the little girl move into the women's branch on the same day. As a result, most of the houses have not yet been built. It rained overnight yesterday and the house collapsed this morning. Nearly smashed me and the slave guards inside. I didn't have time to put on my clothes and ran out with my bare ass! ”
"What?" When Ji Chang heard this, his eyebrows stood up at that time. Immediately ordered someone: "Call me the two rebels Ji Xian and Ji Chu." ”
Mrs. Taiji's face was cloudy. "Son, sit down and speak slowly. What the hell is going on? ”
I don't want to stay long and owe myself again. "Nezha doesn't want to embarrass Lord Junhou, so it's better to leave temporarily. In the future, if the adults and ladies are useful to Nezha, Nezha will be reciprocated. Then he took his leave and went out.
On the way out, I was running into Ji Xian and Ji who were called to come. I didn't look at them, I passed by them.
When I came to the Shizi Courtyard, I said goodbye to Ji Fa and Yi Jiang with a big belly. As soon as Ji Fa heard that I was leaving, he grabbed my hand before Yi Jiang could speak. "Sister Nezha, Shang's father is about to go on an expedition, but my sister is going to travel far away. Who offended my sister, tell your brother, and settle it for you. ”
"Lord Shizi, Nezha is an outsider, how can I hurt the harmony between your uncles, nephews, and brothers for me?"
I tried to break free of his hand, but he held on. The elegance of the past is gone.
"Sister Nezha, Father Shang's expedition this time is related to my Great Zhou National Fortune. Whether it is for Shang's father, Yi Jiang or Ji Fa, Ji Fa is here to implore his sister to stay and help Shang's father. ”

Note: Ji Xian and Ji Fa's competition for the son of the world is, of course, made up. There is almost no description of the life deeds of the "three eunuchs" Ji Xian, Ji Du, and Ji Chu in the official history. Who calls them losers?
