Chapter XVII
Bai Yi accompanied him in the room where Dugu Zheng had lived a long time ago, Changkong and Yuanyou, and Fluorescence were also there, and the room was silent.
Outside is the bustling Jiangnan market and the river, where people come and go, and people come and go.
Dugu Zheng was the first to speak, and threw the fire on Yuan You's head, "What's the use of you?" Won't do anything about it? ”
Yuan didn't send the fire back, considering that Dugu Zheng was not personally present and got the news from others, but it was more sad than experiencing it himself, and just explained it like nonsense, "I was stupid at the time, and I didn't know what the story was." Besides, I don't know now. Also, Ah Xing was leaving, and he didn't leave me a word. ”
Dugu Zheng continued to get angry, "What did you let him say!" Blind! How much did he suffer for you when you were a child? Isn't it good for you to take out the strength you use on women, beg for mercy, and let him talk to the eldest prince? ”
"How can I have so much strength that you use on women!" Yuan finally couldn't help it, but still stood up.
"Okay, okay, okay," Changkong stopped the two of them, "I said you, you're so stupid." With this effort, the little thing has already been done! ”
"What?" The two men asked in unison.
Changkong was triumphant, "Test the attitude of the eldest prince!" The anger is gone, what do you think. Then make an idea. ”
What Yuwen Changkong said was so reasonable, even the fluorescent nodded again and again, "The eldest prince pointed out that your brothers and sisters should live in the princess's mansion with him, so naturally you will be tempted." Who doesn't know that Ah Zheng and Ah You are good with Captain Murong, but they have to avoid suspicion. ”
"I don't live. I didn't have a few luggage, I brought them all, and I'm staying here with you. ”
Changkong and the others objected together, "That's not good, don't say that your mission needs to be with His Highness all the time, do you dare not listen to the words of the eldest prince?" ”
Bai Yi was just about to answer, when he caught a glimpse of a man standing outside the window and on the opposite bank looking this way, and without saying a word, he flew out and stood opposite him.
Changkong was nervous for a while, not knowing what was going on, so he followed with Dugu Zheng, Yuan You, and Fluorescence, and surrounded the man in the middle.
Dugu Zheng glanced at him and saw that it was the person who "peeked" at him in the first few days, "Who are you?" Just come here to see your grandpa! ”
"Qin Xian, the captain of the battalion in Xiachengguo, heard that General Liguo Xiaohou stayed here, and he came to pay a visit."
Changkong was sensible in terms of human relations, and apologized with his hand, "That's our recklessness, please Captain Qin." Although I don't know what Captain Qin has to do with our chief, General Xiaohou lives in the princess's mansion and is not here. ”
Captain Qin.
These three words were repeated in Baiyi's mind.
In fact, Uncle Qin's face was already blurred. For a while, I couldn't guess what the person in front of me had to do with the person back then. She just stood and stared blankly.
Qin Xian also arched his hand, "It's not that you are reckless, but you are reckless, and you disturbed this son that day." He smiled and looked at Dugu Zheng, "Can you ask your honorable names?" ”
Starting from Changkong, he first said his name and title, and then took his sister's hand, "My sister, Captain Furui, Yuwen Baiyi." ”
Then, Dugu Zheng, Yuan You, and Fluorescence introduced themselves one after another.
"Fortunately, fortunately, I am on business, and you are also on business, so I won't bother much. Since General Xiaohou lives in the Princess's Mansion, such a noble place, it is inconvenient to build it without permission, can you tell General Xiaohou, if you can spare time, and go to the shore of the thin waist lake. There are always passenger boats parked there, and one of them is called Duxing. Whenever General Xiaohou wants to go, as long as he sends a little brother to take my name and book a seat, he will hurry there within two quarters of an hour, and he will not dare to be slow. ”
After saying this, Qin Xian also deliberately smiled at Dugu Zheng and left. The five people took the words to heart, and while asking why Bai Yi didn't go to live in the princess's mansion, they went back to the inn, only to see Hou Congyu standing tall, and one person blocked at the gate.
Hou Cong inquired about the location of the official post of the "Settlement of Liguo People" alone, and he had already attracted a lot of attention and followers along the way. It is said that the people's livelihood in Pingdu is really good, many people have nothing to do, just watch the excitement, not to mention that there are thirty or forty admirers of Hou Cong, men, women and children, they gather around the door and stare at him, the more they look at him, the more they like it.
He remembered the yard he had bought for Bai Yi, which was now thousands of miles away. Can we go back together?
Without her, this world would be meaningless.
Hou Cong saw the five people under his command swaying over, saw himself, and quickened his pace, only Bai Yi was still behind, walking without hurrying or slow. Angry, he turned and went upstairs. After wandering around the second floor for a while, he didn't know which room to go to, so he could only turn around twice, but fortunately, they came up in white.
The group led Hou Cong back to Duguzheng's room. Hou Cong lifted his robe and sat down, looking at the white clothes, "Just make trouble day and night!" Don't say a word here! ”
Bai Yi sighed, but he didn't talk back, but said seriously, "Eldest prince, you are not afraid of being ashamed, and I am not afraid." You have me in your heart, and I have you in my heart. Several of them are their own people, and we don't have to hide and choke - I, the task of protecting His Highness, I don't have to live in the princess's mansion to complete it. You can all of you. The first emperor's order was to let me do the last step. You want me to live in the princess's mansion, it's just some children's thoughts, I'm not unwilling, I can't. The first emperor didn't want me to live, but what about the new emperor? So far, we don't even have a will, we are messing around, and everyone has to die. ”
The words made Hou Cong cry in his heart. He held back for a long time before he spoke, "You're right, everyone present is your own people, didn't I tell you, I want you to live, let's help you find a way." As he spoke, Hou Cong became excited, "I can also do the things at the ceremony, do I have to do you?" ”
"You're here again!" Baiyi's voice was not raised, but the person was anxious, "Do you have to fight with me to die?" Isn't that a parting between life and death? Then I'm going to be farther away from you, am I? ”
Hou Cong stood up suddenly, startling the people next to him. But he didn't get angry, and ordered, "Changkong will come with me alone, and the white clothes will live wherever they like." ”
Changkong was originally worried about his sister and came over, but now that he has seen the room in white, he is still worried, but it is no longer a problem, so he looked behind him at the person who stayed, followed Hou Cong out of the room, and then out of the inn.
Originally, Hou Cong was good-looking, but now with the addition of Yuwen Changkong, it is simply a pair of beautiful people floating and blooming on the streets of Pingdu, and the number of admirers following behind him has doubled. Changkong guarded next to the master, walked close to Hou Cong, and saw that the chief's face was not safe, so he hurriedly came up with an idea, first took other words, and said Qin Xian's words.
After listening to this, Hou Cong instructed him, "Do it tonight." ”
"Yes."
The two men took a few more steps. Yuwen Changkong spoke again, "Eldest son, about my sister, I think it has to be strong." As long as I am willing to give it, you will also be willing to give it. ”
Hou Cong became interested, "What kind of strong law?" ”
"The Bai family's business."
"Huh?"
Changkong deliberately lowered his voice, so as not to be heard by idle people, "Bai Yi is from the Bai family." This matter is a taboo in Chengguo. What would happen if the identity of the white clothes was exposed? ”
Hou Cong's face was filled with rivers, "I will be caught on death row and locked up." It's impossible to be like a fool who doesn't listen to us, and you must go to the Buddha bathing ceremony to be a substitute for the dead. ”
"Uh-huh." Changkong felt that Hou Cong was really good, and he could kiss him. "Go on, eldest son."
"The person who prevents the white clothes from completing the task is the people of Chengguo, not you and me. As for Mo Chang's life and death. ”
Hou Cong paused. "Of course, we hope to fulfill the emperor's entrustment and let him live, so there is still time to think about it in the long run. If you really can't live, you can only believe that God has its own arrangements! ”
Changkong couldn't help it, and really hugged Hou Cong and kissed him on the cheek. "Eldest son, I thank you for my father."
An exclamation erupted behind him.
Hou Cong wanted to hit someone, but endured it.
He hastened his pace back to the princess's mansion and told the chief historian to invite the princess to drink alone in the evening. Then, he ordered Changkong to go to the "Solo Awakening" on the shore of the Slender Waist Lake to set a location.
