Chapter 208 Stranger Chapter 3
"You know me?"
Chen Xie An naturally heard those three words, and the people in Kyoto loved to call him Chen Sanshao, and only his father's soldiers would call him a major general.
Zhan Bei bowed his head respectfully, "I was under General Chen, but later...... Because the young man has no form, he offended His Highness the Fourteenth. "Needless to say, if he offends Fourteen, then he will have no future in Kyoto.
Even if it is Chen Jiajun, even if his father protects him, he can only save his life.
He guessed correctly, when he fell in love with Zhanbei's sister back then, he took advantage of Chen's military drills to play with others when Zhanbei was not at home. Later, Zhanbei's sister became pregnant, and Fourteen was not responsible, she felt that she had a bad family style and was humiliated, and finally committed suicide by jumping into a well.
And Zhanbei was young and vigorous, he didn't know how to back down at all, and there was no hope of reporting to the official, so he had the heart to assassinate. When Fourteen was walking at night, he killed Fourteen's eunuch at the time and stabbed Fourteen, but he couldn't escape.
General Chen cherished his talents, so he went to intercede. His Majesty learned what happened, but he couldn't forgive Zhanbei for assassinating Aiko, and pretended to be exiled but actually planned to kill him on the way.
The fate of the war north is great, and before the place of exile arrives, he encountered robbers and took advantage of the chaos to escape. happened to meet the county master Ma, so he brought it back to Ling'an, and then changed his name to become the city protection general.
"Your subordinates are worthy of the general, don't hide it from the young general, my whereabouts are what I reported to the county lord." Zhan Bei felt guilty and thought about it for several days before deciding to tell the county lord. The son of the old master, it is not a big mistake to come to Ling'an, and his current master will definitely not kill him. And he doesn't have to bear the name of disloyalty.
Chen Xie An had long known that three days ago, he had noticed that someone was staring at him around the inn. In addition, there are people following from all over Ling'an, so it is even clearer that this is not someone from the Fourteenth Prince's side, but someone from the County Lord's Mansion.
"Chen Jiajun is long gone, you don't have to feel guilty."
In the first war of that year, Chen Jiajun and the northerners were killed and wounded half, and they wanted to wait for reinforcements to come, and Chen Jiajun would definitely be able to survive. Unexpectedly, the strange man appeared, he killed people when he saw them, he was protected by a corpse, if Gu Yi and the master came a little later, maybe he would also die.
"Major General ......"
He stopped what Zhan Bei was about to say, and laughed self-deprecatingly, "Chen Yu has already died with thousands of soldiers, and the war general called me to say Chen Jie'an." ”
"My subordinates still call you Chen Sanshao, I heard about the events of the year, and I mourned." Zhanbei thought about it for a long time, and didn't know what to say, fortunately, Ji Xiang had already dressed, she was different from the past, today she was deliberately dignified and gentle, her eyes were like a flash, and when she took a step, her waist would sound softly, which was pleasant.
Sun Wei also followed, she changed into a red tan collar, embroidered half arm, and was smart.
"Senior sister, the county lord is looking for you, what am I going to do?" She was really a little panicked, these people were staying in Ling'an, and everywhere she could hear women singing praises to the county lord.
What kind of husband's skill, and what old affairs, I heard that it is related to the Marquis of Yun in Kyoto. These are nothing, Sun Wei doesn't know where to hear it, this county lord is actually taboo for men and women.
These are just some rumors on the streets, and naturally they can't be true. When Sun Wei arrived at the county lord's mansion, she realized her mistake.
said this to Ji Xiang, but it didn't cause laughter. From this point of view, the junior sister's self-cultivation is really not said.
Yin Ziyue sat on the top, Ji Xiang glanced at it casually, only to feel that this place was not as exquisite as Liu Changgui's courtyard. I heard that the county lord was in the Jiangnan Water Town, but he didn't expect his heart to be so simple, and even the people were heroic.
I can't help but think of the late mother, although the little group has not yet grown, but the eyebrows and eyes are the same as this county lord.
couldn't help but say to Chen Xie Saddle with his lips, "Xianggong, the ...... you said" Needless to say, Xianggong has already cast a look at her, and now she knows how to entangle with Yun Tianlang. The one who haunts him all his life is the one in front of him.
Yin Ziyue, known as the first county lord of Huaguo, the emperor's cousin, was as beautiful as a fairy when she was young, and she knew martial arts.
After she and Yun Tianlang met back then, they gradually developed affection, but they didn't think that the emperor would beat the mandarin ducks, and finally married people to others. Yin Ziyue can't be said to be hateful, so when she saw Chen Yu, she naturally felt that his father was probably crossed by the old emperor to cross the river and demolish the bridge, and she was afraid that Chen Jiagong would be high-minded.
It's a pity that the family is full of loyalty, and dying for the Chinese country can't get the emperor's peace of mind.
"Senior sister," Sun Wei couldn't sit still, after entering this guest hall, the county lord above didn't say a word. The maids standing on both sides also lowered their eyebrows, motionless like statues.
She's an active person, fart. He held the chair at all, and after a while, he twisted his body and rushed to Ji Xiang to take the fruit, and whispered to her in a low voice.
Chen Jie'an didn't say a word, and Yin Ziyue was also calm. Ji Xiang drank tea and looked calm, but he was actually a virtue with Sun Wei.
To be honest, what she said to Zhan Bei was purely a swollen face and a fat man, she didn't know that the county lord had found out at all, but she was afraid of being looked down upon by the county lord, so she said those words calmly.
But he looked like he had known it a long time ago, and he had a smile in his eyes when he drank tea, because he sat opposite him, and the smile would be thick.
Without saying a word to Sun Wei, Yin Ziyue raised his head and looked at her.
"You are Chen Yu's wife?"
It's a question, Ji Xiang didn't panic, she knew that this was the end of a round of scrutiny and ready to enter the next round of routines.
She has a bowed head and an outstanding temperament. Zhan Bei said that she was born as a village girl, and she didn't look like it, but there were really no rules.
Yin Ziyue motioned for Yao'er to go up and add tea, coughed a few more times, and said with a tired face: "Good boy, come over quickly, I don't have anything good, only a gilded phoenix silk tassel hairpin, which I will give you as a meeting gift." ”
Ji Xiang didn't know what her idea was, but she also knew that the elders should not shirk too much when giving gifts, but it seemed that she was stingy and had never seen the world. So she stepped forward, and the green pothos who served the county lord was about to laugh at her, a redneck, for not seeing it.
She had already blessed the gift, and said generously: "No merit is not rewarded, the woman Ji Xiang really has no face to accept the gift of the county lord." ”
The county lord raised her eyebrows, she had already guessed that Ji Xiang would say this, but since she wanted to sit in the same boat as Chen Yu, she naturally needed to have a good relationship with this Ji Xiang.
Yun Tianlang said that this is called lady diplomacy.
Thinking of that man, Yin Ziyue's mood deteriorated, and he didn't have the heart to talk to Ji Xiang. This time, I came to Chen Yu for the sneakers lurking in Ling'an and the purpose of their visit.
She waved her sleeves, and the pothos came down and handed the batbox to Ji Xiang, and there was a hairpin lying in the open box, and the phoenix tail looked at it, and there were tassels and gilded craftsmanship at the bottom, and I liked it just by looking at it.
This thing must be worth a lot of money.
She glanced at Chen Jie'an, some things should be taken away or not, and with the permission of the man, Ji Xiang put away the things and returned to his seat.
And then there's business.
Ji Xiang and Sun Wei were invited out, leaving Chen Jiean, Zhanbei and the county lord.
"Senior sister, are you at ease?" In front of him is a green pothos leading the way, Ling'an is taller, even ordinary women are half a head taller than Ji Xiang and Sun Wei. Don't look at the pothos face is small and tender, that one is about the same as the average man in the south.
Afraid that Luluo would hear Sun Wei say something unpleasant, Ji Xiang hurriedly grabbed the girl's arm and signaled that we are now on other people's territory, don't say something bad and plain to make people unhappy.
It was also Ji Xiang who overestimated Sun Wei, she didn't understand this meaning at all, "Pinch me to do something, it's not big or small." Didn't I tell you, the lord of Ling'an is a vegetarian, your man is good-looking, and he is careful to keep you with him. ”
"What nonsense." The pace of the pothos has slowed down, Ji Xiang was afraid of being heard by her, so she grabbed Sun Wei to block her words, but the latter snorted, very angry Ji Xiang didn't know what to do. What are you doing, that is to let my sister understand well, you have to hold this thing in your hand and watch it more. You go with him, there are so many women there, and she is not particularly good-looking, what if she is robbed.
When the time comes, there is no place to cry.
"Don't pull me." Sun Wei was angry, and as soon as Ji Xiang came over, he glared at her angrily.
And the green pothos twisted his waist and didn't lead the way, "I don't know where it came from, the face is quite big, there are many men in Ling'an, you think you will fall in love with you Kyoto dogs." ”
Her voice was slightly startled, and she tore her throat and said it again. Sun Wei and Ji Xiang's ears immediately became abnormal, as if a worm was flying inside, which was really uncomfortable.
Sun Wei was short-tempered, and she had no problem scolding Kyoto dogs, but the problem was that there were only two of them present.
"Whoever you scold is a dog, you are a dog, and your whole family is a dog." Sun Wei has been in the rivers and lakes, at her age, beggars scold each other, shrews scold the street, and she learns a full likeness. A pothos, she doesn't care at all.
"You...... How do you scold my mother. "Don't look at the pothos condescendingly, it seems to be very imposing, but in fact, she hasn't had much brains since she was a child, usually Yao'er will help herself, but she will only fake the tiger.
When encountering someone like Sun Wei, there is no trick.
"Ouch, look at your mouth, I really didn't expect you to have a mother." The green pothos' eyelids jumped, her face turned red, and Sun Wei was not sharpened by her voice, but she was yin and yang, and she was even more angry.
That's not a good thing. Ji Xiang grabbed Sun Wei, and Luluo thought she had flinched, so she immediately glanced at the two of them. "The people in the market smell like. Hmph, our county lord just doesn't look down on you men from Kyoto, and they don't have any hearts. As far as the Chen Sanshao I was looking at, it was just average, and he was also called the little god of war of Huaguo, the major general of the Chen family, phew, shameless. ”
said that Sun Wei can, and the people of Kyoto are no problem, but the green pothos actually said Chen Jie'an. Ji Xiang sneered, she doesn't like to cause trouble, sometimes even if the people on both sides are noisy, she will help for a while, it doesn't hurt.
But the problem is that you pulled her man, Ji Xiang rolled up his sleeves. She slowly pulled up, and Sun Wei on the side looked confused, "Senior sister, what are you going to do." ”
Green pothos didn't know her next fate, and continued to say, "What, knowing that you can't say it, you want to be rude?" Don't look at what kind of place this is, the Ling'an County Lord's Mansion, even the emperor has to look at the county lord's face. What are you, one is rude, the other ugly is a husband and wife to some dead little general, what a really good couple. I don't know why the county lord let you go to the wing......"
pia
The voice stopped abruptly, and the chattering pothos looked at Ji Xiang in front of him in disbelief. She covered her mouth and her ears were buzzing.
Just now, when Ji Xiang was talking to herself in the green pothos, he stepped on the bench in the verandah and slapped her hard.
Even Sun Wei, who has always been rude, didn't expect that her junior sister would be so bold.
"You...... You, you actually hit ...... Vomit. Before she finished speaking, her hand had already covered her mouth, and with a slight opening, blood mixed with a white tooth fell on the palm of her hand.
Ji Xiang crossed and apologized to the pothos without guilt. "Sorry, I saw a fly landing on your face just now, but I didn't expect it to be stronger."
"You...... You did it on purpose. You wait for me, I'll let the county lord call the shots. ”
What is deliberate, Ji Xiang will not admit it. She raised her eyebrows and said innocently: "I was just careless, don't be like this." ”
"Woo, you wait, I must let the county lord cut off your hand." After the pothos finished speaking, she cried and ran away, her face was already swollen very high, and the five red fingerprints were obviously as if they had been painted by someone.
It took a long time for Sun Wei to applaud.
"Senior sister, you are more ruthless than me." At most, she scolded her mother, either she really hated it and stole the poison, she was not stupid, and some things had to be done secretly. Like Ji Xiang, who beats people and doesn't pick the time at all, she is one of the few gang people she has seen.
The first one is Yun Tianlang, but that old guy can't do it now, I heard that he was led by His Majesty by the nose.
These words are also from Old Man Sun, she has actually seen Yun Tianlang a few times, and after his father went west, he brought him to Old Man Sun.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't mean to do it just now." Ji Xiang said indifferently, if her guess is right, the county lord is looking for an alliance for the prime minister.
Naturally, she didn't guess wrong, after Ji Xiang left, Yu Nan and Gu Yi were invited up.
Zhan Bei and Yu Nan know each other, the two have also drunk together, this man speaks and does things sincerely, in other words, he pretends to be good, otherwise Zhan Bei would not have found out that Yu Nan is Chen Yu, oh, Chen Jiean's person.
As for that Gu Yi, if he hadn't taken the initiative to explain, Zhan Bei wouldn't have noticed this person.
Yin Ziyue didn't blame her, she wanted Chen Jie'an to see the sincerity, so she naturally couldn't move the two of them.
"Who are you doing things for now?" After Zhan Bei asked, Yu Nan raised his eyebrows, he was holding a wind: flow, which couldn't help but make Yao'er's heart tighten.
Yu Nan won the title of steward, thanks to Yao'er.
The county lord chuckled twice, and when Zhanbei told her, Yao'er told her after she returned to her life. This Yu Nan finally stirred people's hearts, especially women. Yao'er has been with her for so many years, and she is afraid that she is not an ordinary person.
Looking at his demeanor again, his face is like white jade, even if he is wearing old clothes, he can hardly hide his demeanor. But if you really compare, Chen Jie'an is better.
Even if she hasn't been drenched in nectar for a long time and has no interest in men, seeing Chen Jie'an at such an age and in his prime will make it a little interesting.
Thinking about the woman next to him, Ji Xiang, is really interesting. At first glance, the woman was an alternative, with a middle-class appearance, and she was not even as good as the maid in her house.
The door is not the right one, and even the appearance is not a natural pair. She really wanted to see if Chen Xie An and Ji Xiang were like his parents, and they also made a pair of resentful couples.
Yu Nan had already received Chen Jiean's instructions, and quickly explained his original intention. Hearing that there were fourteen people in Ling'an, Yin Zi's brows sank more and more.
Fourteen people, dare to come to Ling'an, what is he for?
Strange people are haunted again, and children are missing. Why didn't anyone report these things to her?
Zhan Bei only felt that the blade was on his back, and immediately bowed his head and confessed. "County Lord, my subordinates really don't know. When inspecting Ling'an, no one ever mentioned the disappearance of the child. ”
When he was about to get angry, Chen Xie An made a sound, he rubbed the porcelain cup, just like Ji Xiang's skin that night, his smile flashed, and soon he said coldly: "Not only that, when I was investigating the clues of the stranger, I found that there was a heresy in the village in the west of Ling'an. ”
"You're telling the truth." What is heresy, there is evil and demons. In the early years, there was little land in Ling'an, and there were robbers, and the family could not have enough to eat, so the evil of teaching people to die was derived. Teach.
Yin Ziyue had already struck once in Ling'an back then, and when he heard that another heresy had appeared, his expression immediately became nervous, and now it is pointless to blame Zhanbei.
"It's true." Gu Yi said calmly, he looked at Yu Nan who was still flirting with Yao'er, and somehow there was a thorn in his heart. "Yu Nan knows the details of the matter, so it's better to let him tell it."
"Ahh Yu Nan, who was suddenly called, first glared at Gu Yi, didn't you see that I was reporting safety to Yao'er? However, the senior brother's eyes seemed to have a silver light, and he immediately smirked twice for fear of being reprimanded, as the beginning of his words.
In the village west of Ling'an, the heresy that appeared was called Pushi, an evil monk. Dressed in a tattered robe, with nine scabs on his bald head, wine in one hand and meat in the other, followed by the female public.
Women believe that it can conceive children, men believe that it makes a lot of money, and children and old people believe that it gets what they want.
"We pretended to be foreign merchants who would stun us at night, and then we would light the lamps and gather together, and the men and women would bring out incense and children and give it to the world." As Yu Nan spoke, he took out a bottle of medicine from his arms, "This thing is regarded as an immortal medicine by them, and some people really see the immortals after eating it. But in fact, this is just five stone scatter, which has been changed in measurement, and it will be addictive and hallucinating. ”
After Zhanbei took it, it was given to Yao'er, and it fell into Yin Ziyue's hands, and the lid had been opened. The white powder, when smelled slightly, tastes fragrant, and if you eat it unintentionally, you will be harmed by it.
"Oh, that's a good thing." Yin Ziyue gritted his teeth, "Then have you found out who is pretending to be the whole world, and it is really difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart if you don't kill him." ”
"No."
This was shouted by Yu Nan, "County Lord, the whole world is a liar, but the people behind him are more important." If you catch him now, you will only startle the snake. Moreover, the senior brother said that if he was killed, those ignorant villagers would transfer their anger to the county lord. Cutting down the grass and eradicating the roots and not eradicating heresy from the source will only be counterproductive. ”
"Who told you this?" Yin Ziyue was stunned, in the early years, there was also a person who said this to him. Time has passed, and when I hear the same words again, it is no longer a matter of fact.
"That's right." She took care of herself and picked up the last sentence, and in Yu Nan's eyes when she looked at Chen Jie'an, she already knew that this person and that person were about the same senior brother, and she didn't know when Ge Yunzhang would accept another one, but Yu Nan looked pretty good.
That old fellow is more blessed than her.
"I will command your father's whereabouts to go down and keep people on notice. Zhanbei, you go down and discuss with the city general Jiang Bin, from today onwards, the city gate will be strictly guarded, and suspicious people will not be allowed to enter. As for coming in, don't even go out for the time being. ”
What, everyone was stunned. Closing the city, wouldn't it be too much. Yin Ziyue smiled, "When they saw you appear in Ling'an, this secret battle began." The matter of the inn will inevitably be rumored, and those rats may have already found the three caves. ”
Zhanbei is killed, go down immediately.
"What we have to do now is to smoke the rabbit hole and make them start to show themselves in a hurry."
They thought that Yin Ziyue would deal with Chen Yu, Yun Tianlang was so unhappy with her, and Chen Xie An was Yun Tianlang all the way. However, those people obviously miscalculated, Yin Ziyue is not so stupid, she knows that if she is outside, she must first be inside, and the unknown people and young generals along the way, even fools know who to stand on.
"Woo woo woo ......"
Yin Ziyue was about to discuss with Chen Jie'an about the heretic and the fourteenth group when there was a faint cry outside.
Yao'er immediately heard the voice and subconsciously looked at the county lord. Yin Ziyue's eyebrows tightened, and he gritted his back molars impatiently. It's angry.
She immediately knelt down, "County Lord, let the slave go out and take a look." "There are priorities, and the county lord and Chen Jie'an are discussing major matters, so naturally they can't touch a little bad luck. I just hope that the pothos will stop a little, and don't think about breaking in.
Before the sound was heard above, the green pothos was already crying and calling the county lord aggrievedly. "Ask the county lord to be the master, the slave and maid were beaten."
Oh, beaten up? Yin Ziyue's deeper gaze rushed towards Chen Jiean, just now she asked Luluo to send those two to rest, in the house, except for herself and Yao'er, she was not afraid of anyone, and now that she was beaten, it is not difficult to guess that it must be one of those two people.
She couldn't help but smile, and when she saw Ji Xiang, she was curious about the future of Chen Xie An and this woman. It can be seen that their eyes are glued, which is sweetness. But if she is in front of power, will Chen Jie'an protect her, or will she ......
It was still noisy outside, Yao'er lowered her head and didn't dare to speak, so she could only secretly worry about the pothos.
"Call the pothos in."
Yin Ziyue's eyes flickered, and Yao'er immediately got the word and went out to bring people in.
Around the ancient meaning, iron-hearted men have a heart of pity for the dignity of pothos. What kind of crime has this suffered, one of the front teeth has been lost, and the face is swollen at least and steamed buns. head the same.
Tsk, poor thing.
"You...... What's going on! "Originally, I was watching a play and eating melons, Yin Zi stood up more violently, the green pothos grew up in front of her, she was raised as a child from childhood to adulthood, although this child is stupid, but she looks at it herself, and there has been no major incident.
Yao'er was supporting below, and when the green pothos saw the county lord, she knelt down with a handful of snot and tears, and there was no more good intention. Yao'er behind her also had red eyes, she was smaller than herself, and she grew up since she was a child, even Miss Xiang, she couldn't beat her, how could she ......
"Woo, it's Mrs. Chen's slave. The county lord, the green pothos was wronged, she said bad things about you with another girl, and the slave refuted a few words, and she beat me like this. They also scolded me for not having a mother, you know, my mother died for you! ”
She was about to kowtow when she cried, and Yin Ziyue's face was gloomy, "Chen Yu Chen Sanshao, please give me an explanation." She didn't call Chen Jie'an's current name, she sneered, she entertained them by herself, but she was bullied by a village girl.
It's not that she's out of temper, she just doesn't want to go too far.
"County Lord, isn't it too much to condemn me with your slave and maid's empty mouth and white teeth." Ji Xiang lifted the corner of her skirt and stood in front of the door against the light, she smiled lightly.
And Sun Wei behind him was angry, pointing at the pothos is roar. "Okay, you're the wicked and sue first. Who first pointed to Sang and scolded Huai and said that we are dogs, and now the master is in front of him, just pick up the good ones and say yes. ”
"You're talking nonsense." Yao'er patted her on the back distressedly, and said word by word: "This girl, I know the character of the pothos, if you don't say something ugly, she won't scold you." And looking at your appearance, you are not a bully, don't you know the truth that a gentleman does not use his mouth? A woman has the most important appearance, the pothos was beaten like this by you, and even her teeth fell out, should you apologize to her. ”
Sun Wei snorted, "You should scold, right?" If she hadn't spoken too badly and would have beaten her, we would not be gentlemen, but women. ”
At first, she was quite scared, after all, there was the county lord standing above. But when she heard that the pothos reversed black and white and asked her sister to carry the black pot, Sun Wei couldn't be angry.
Yes, she scolded the words, and it was her who should be dealt with. Why do you scold my junior sister's man, you deserve to be beaten.
"You! Unreasonable! Yao'er said that she couldn't quarrel since she was a child, so she naturally fell on Yu Nan.
Yu Nan should not be able to see it at this time, it doesn't matter if there is infighting in the nest at ordinary times, the senior brother will take care of it anyway. Now you have to unite in front of outsiders, and no matter how much you don't like Ji Xiang, you have to shut up. However, he felt more and more that Ji Xiang was not suitable for his senior brother, my senior brother Tianyan, how could he ask for a tigress who would casually beat people.
Yao'er looked back in disappointment and looked back at the county lord weakly. The latter looked at Ji Xiang coldly, as if to say, what else do you have to say.
"I did it." Ji Xiang pressed Sun Wei's shoulder, telling her not to get too excited, and after shrugging her shoulders and saying this, she smiled indifferently. It's true that she hits people, there's nothing to say about it.
"Xiang'er, come here."
Chen Jie'an spoke at this time, and when Ji Xiang Huanting came to his side, the county lord spoke. "Since you admit it, then let the pothos slap it again. Of course, for Chen Sanshao's sake, you can kneel down and apologize to her and write it off. ”
"Why!" Sun Wei is angry, even if she beats her, if it weren't for her mouth......
Green pothos snorted and clenched her fists fiercely, so that she didn't simply kneel. Yao'er helped her to her feet, and could slap her as long as she rushed over.
The county lord had a calm face, and Chen Xie An suddenly laughed and said, "Let's fight, people always have to pay for what they say." ”
"Sure enough." Yin Ziyue smiled contemptuously, the world is as black as a crow, and men are all things that are used to wronging women.
But in the next second, when the pothos was laughing wildly and triumphantly, there was a loud slap in the huge room.
Everyone was stunned, Sun Wei covered her mouth, and couldn't bear to look at it directly.
"Woo woo woo" the woman cried, holding her cheeks in both hands, "You hit me again!" ”
Ji Xiang grinned twice, and Chen Xie immediately covered her palm, "In the future, just hit something, don't hurt yourself." ”
The pothos instantly turned red, like a fierce beast at night. "Slut, slut, I'm going to kill you." As he spoke, he rushed upward.
When pulling Ji Xiang's hair, Chen Xie Saan grimaced, "I don't know what I can do." ”
