Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Old Ministry
When Xie Zheng returned to the city, he passed by the city gate, and glanced at it intentionally or unintentionally, but she didn't see the guard surnamed Xu.
She didn't think much about it, walked straight over, and when she returned to the inn, she saw that Xiao Zhen had rested, and the back was smeared with black ointment, it seemed that the little girl had come here to deliver the medicine, and the doctor said that there was a taste of the fairy in the medicine he prescribed, and it would make people drowsy, and Xiao Zhen drank the medicine and naturally fell asleep.
Xie Zheng brought it to the door, and when she turned around, she suddenly noticed a trace of abnormality, she hung her clothes, she always liked the neckline facing inward, the skirt tail facing outward, and the Xiao Xun Confucian robe on the hanger was also hung like this, but now how is it the other way around.
Xiao Zhen was injured in bed and couldn't move, he naturally couldn't touch the clothes, the little guy gave Xiao Zhen good medicine, and he must have gone out immediately, the tray and the soup bowl containing the medicine were still placed next to the bed, and the little guy had not come here to take it away.
Has anyone else come in? Xie Zheng glanced around vigilantly, and suddenly saw a shriveled and yellowed leaf slowly drifting down, this is indoors, how can there be fallen leaves, unless......
Xie Zheng looked up at the roof, and sure enough, he saw a man in a soap-colored robe lying cautiously on the beam, as if he had not yet noticed that he had been revealed.
"Who!" Xie Zheng stretched out his hand, in the shape of a claw, one foot off the ground, jumped slightly, and was about to go up to catch the man, and at this time the person on the beam also turned over and jumped down, the two of them wanted to go up, one wanted to come down, and they fought in mid-air, both of them were not idle people, but in terms of skills, Xie Zheng was better, the two only fought for two rounds, and the visitor stopped, he hid away, and said: "This lady is really a master!" ”
Xie Zheng also stopped, but was surprised to see that this uninvited guest was actually the guard surnamed Xu at the city gate, "General Xu? ”
Xu Wei bowed his hand, "If I remember correctly, your surname is Xie, fortunately, Xie Niangzi." ”
This Xu Wei entered other people's rooms without a sound, and the little guy in the inn didn't stop him, Xie Zheng remembered that when she paid in the morning, Xu Wei had taken out the silver to get close to her, she was still suspicious of how this guy was so kind, it turned out to be intentional, in order to make the people in the inn think that he and she knew each other, so that he could open the door and come in when she was away.
What a good means!
"When I passed through the city gate, why didn't I see any trace of General Xu, it turns out that you came here to be a thief."
"Xie Niangzi's words are wrong, I walked in from the main entrance, and there are people in your room, am I a thief?"
"If you don't ask yourself, it's stealing, and if you take it without telling it, it's stealing, you took my brother's things, and you said you weren't a thief?"
Xu Wei couldn't refute, and Xie Zheng said again: "I don't have the time to fight with you, I advise you, hurry up and return what I took from my brother, otherwise, I will not be polite to you!" ”
Xie Zheng stretched out his hand, Xu Wei smiled contemptuously, only took out the bag with Xiao Zhen's golden seal and put it away, and asked, "You mean this?" ”
"Give it back!" Xie Zheng stretched out his hand to grab it, but Xu Wei dodged it, he put his hand behind his back, and said: "I am the city gate guard of Pei County, you two foreign courtiers want to live in Pei County temporarily, I naturally want to find out your identity." ”
"You checked it last night."
"I only checked yours last night, but I didn't check his!" Xu Wei pointed at Xiao Zhen, Xie Zheng was angry, "I told you that his profile card fell into Surabaya, if you want to check, just go to the water to find it!" ”
Xie Zheng said, and reached out to snatch back the bag, Xu Wei dodged again, Xie Zheng then fought with him again, but only one round, he snatched the saber on his waist, Xu Wei was caught off guard, Xie Zheng had put the knife on his neck.
"General Xu, don't blame me for being rude, it's you who deceive people too much."
Xu Wei relented and handed over the bag, but when Xie Zheng reached out to pick it up, he also let go first, the mouth of the bag was facing down, and it happened that the mouth was not tightened, and the golden seal inside fell to the ground first.
Xie Zheng withdrew his hand holding the knife and was about to pick up the golden seal, but unexpectedly, Xu Wei, a rat wolf, took advantage of her unpreparedness, snatched the knife in her hand, and came to a counter-kill, Xie Zheng froze, Xu Wei pointed to the golden seal on the ground, and threatened Xie Zheng: "Pick it up!" ”
The knife was on her neck, Xie Zheng had to do it obediently, she picked up the golden seal, but was snatched away by Xu Wei.
Xu Wei saw that the gold seal was engraved with the words "Xiao Xuanyuan Seal", he was immediately stunned, and involuntarily put down the knife in his hand, he glanced at Xiao Zheng, and then looked at Xie Zheng in a daze, and asked: "He is the prince of Southern Qi?" ”
How could Xie Zheng give him a good face, she also snatched the golden seal back, and reprimanded: "Now that the identity has been ascertained, why don't you leave quickly?" Expect me to keep you here to eat? ”
Xu Wei refused to leave, but changed his face, begged Xie for mercy in a low voice, and said: "The lowly has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, and collided with the nobles, and there are a large number of nobles..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Xie Zheng, and she laughed: "Despicable? What kind of despicability do you say? You are from the Northern Dynasty, we are from the Southern Dynasty, which side of the humble position are you? ”
"I'll tell you the truth, the humble position used to be the old ministry of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Xie Zheng was stunned for a moment, she looked at Xu Wei, seeing that he was sincere, she couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a while, she was only afraid that Xu Wei was deliberately saying this to test the true purpose of her and Xiao Zhen's mission to the Northern Wei Dynasty.
"General Xu, don't bully my little girl for not understanding the rules of the court, you are now a general of the Northern Dynasty, how did you become the old department of the prince of the Southern Dynasty, whether you betrayed the Southern Qi and took refuge in the Northern Wei Dynasty, or did you have mixed into the Southern Qi to be the internal response of the Northern Wei Dynasty, this is the beginning and the end, I want to ask you to talk about it."
"The humble position was originally the part of His Royal Highness the Prince, at that time His Royal Highness was still the prince of the King of Qi in the previous dynasty, once Yuan Cang went to the Qi Palace, and saw that the humble position was good, so he asked His Royal Highness to ask the humble post to be a soldier in his own house, and later ......"
In the previous dynasty, Xiao Daocheng seized power, Yuan Cang had led troops to crusade, this matter was quite obscure for Xu Wei, Xu Wei did not dare to speak out, only continued: "Later, Yuan Cang's army was defeated, and he was seriously injured, and fled to Jiankang City, was rescued by a Northern Wei merchant, and followed to Pei County. ”
"I see," Xie Zheng saw that he was wearing this uniform, and said, "However, you are now in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and you have nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
"Nope! The lowly student is a native of the Southern Dynasty, and he should be loyal to the Southern Dynasty," Xu Wei spoke sonorously, as if it was a heartfelt word, and he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the grace of knowing in the humble position, which is the luck of the humble life, and the humble duty has been remembered for a lifetime, and now that His Royal Highness is injured, the humble duty will naturally have to contribute." ”
"There's no need to contribute, you and I are different, don't conspire with each other, I just hope that General Xu will not reveal His Royal Highness's whereabouts with others," she has also lived in the Qi Palace's mansion for more than ten years, whether in the mansion or going out to march and fight, she and Xiao Zhen have always been inseparable, she doesn't remember that Xiao Zhen also has a subordinate surnamed Xu by her side.
Seeing that Xu Wei's words were full of emotion, how could she tell whether what he said was true or false? Right now, Xiao Zhen is seriously injured, if something happens, she can't afford it!
Xu Weizi also knew that his identity was unknown, which was not enough for Xie Zheng to let down his guard against him, but he still wanted to argue for himself, Xie Zheng interrupted him, and said unceremoniously: "Your Highness still needs to recuperate, it is not good to be disturbed, General Xu should please go back." ”
The master had already issued an eviction order, Xu Wei naturally couldn't stay longer, he had to leave, and when he left, he said: "The humble post will come again, farewell." ”
Xie Zheng watched him leave, still apprehensive, so he called the little maid, she took off a white hosta in the bun and handed it to the little maid, and ordered: "Little brother, you have to be this hairpin for me, go to the opposite hospital to buy a few pairs of medicines and come back." ”
As she spoke, she gave him the prescription, and said, "This is the prescription, and with the rest of the money, you can hire a carriage for me, and I will go to the ferry." ”
