Chapter 162: The Way of the Other
At the time of the descent, the carriage returned the way it came, and by this time the number of pedestrians on the road had decreased a little, and it was not as crowded as it had been when they had left.
Before entering the city, the carriage had to stop.
There was a small noise outside the car, as if taking care of the people in the carriage, Ji Fang didn't dare to speak harshly, adhering to the idea that more things are better than less things, he handed over silver and reasoned, but he couldn't drive away the call Hanako who suddenly came out to stop the carriage.
Seeing that there were more and more people gathered here to see the excitement, Ji Fang raised his eyebrows, and finally took out the momentum of the head of the East Palace, and scolded them: "What are you looking at? What's there to see! ”
Seeing his fierce appearance, the onlookers dispersed in a daze.
At this time, he turned his head to look at the angry Hanako in front of him, and asked with a headache: "You don't want to give silver, you don't listen to reason, what do you want to do?" ”
If it weren't for the fear that there would be too many people here, and that someone would be secretly watching His Highness's every move, the slightest mistake would lead to impeachment, and he would have called someone to kill Hanako and blew him away.
Hearing this, Hanako was dressed in tattered clothes, with a gray headscarf that had not been washed for a long time, and her hands were crossed on her waist, full of momentum: "Call your master out, you will know what I want to do later." ”
"My master is extremely noble, you think you can see it if you want to?!" Ji Fang was angry, he had been the head of the East Palace for several years, and he had never seen such a shameless person.
If such a person had been placed in the East Palace, he would have died a long time ago.
Thinking about it, Ji Yi gave the attendants around the carriage a look, and planned to forcibly drive them away.
Hanako saw his plan, but he was not angry, waved his hand with a smile, and said meaningfully: "You just have to report back to your master, old man, I promise that she will not blame you." ”
Hearing this, Ji Fang raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to stop the slowly approaching attendant.
He didn't have a good impression of calling Hanako, and this person not only spoke without the slightest respect, but also spoke quite provocatively.
I wanted to ignore it, but I found that I don't know if it was his delusion, and I always felt that this Hanako seemed to know the identity of the person in the carriage.
After a few hesitations, he chose the latter between the possibility of delaying the business and the possibility of getting a scolding.
So, Ji Fang retreated to the side of the carriage and whispered inside: "Your Highness, there is an old man blocking the road outside the carriage, saying that he wants to see you. ”
After a few breaths, the bead curtain was lifted open, revealing a handsome face, which was the long-faced prince who called Hanako to see.
The old man smiled and waved in front of the horse.
Seeing him, Qi Changrong's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and he ordered someone to bring the old man over, and only asked after half a sound, "Why are you here?" ”
The person who stood in the way was Yu Lao.
Although he never allowed himself to call him Master, he was her half-master.
Qi Changrong was surprised that just an hour ago, Yu Lao was still living vaguely in the thatched hut in the hunting ground in the suburbs, but at this time, he had already walked in front of her.
And...... Or the dress of a refugee.
Yu Lao stroked his beard and said leisurely: "After you left, I thought about it carefully, it seems a little ridiculous to go to recognize your relatives suddenly, it is better to use the name of your prince to make the Jun family more convincing." ”
Qi Changrong choked for a moment, Yu Lao suddenly spoke so seriously, she was really a little unaccustomed, she thought about it, and reminded seriously: "The junior sent you to Jun's house, maybe the general will be even more suspicious." ”
Because, in Junchen's eyes, she is a big bastard who does all kinds of evil and calculates everyone.
Once she made any moves, Junchen would immediately suspect her motives and wonder if she was calculating something.
If she brought Yu Lao over, Jun Chen would secretly send someone to investigate even if she didn't suspect it.
Yu Lao blinked, a little surprised, and said in disbelief: "How come, it is rumored in Beijing that because Junchen saved your life, you have a deep friendship with him, and he will doubt you?" ”
Although he is hidden in the suburbs, it does not mean that he is an old fool.
Usually when he is really bored, he will quietly go into the capital, see the prosperity of the capital, and listen to some gossip.
In this way, it will not be out of touch with the current era.
Qi Changrong knew that Old Yu had never been immortal in the Yellow River, so he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If Old Yu doesn't believe it, he can go with me." ”
Hearing this, Yu Lao frowned and was silent.
He looked at Qi Changrong tentatively, and he really couldn't tell how much of the truth in his words was false.
To be honest, for the people in the royal family, he will not be less defensive than Junchen.
is the so-called generation of emperors, countless heroes.
He didn't want to be one of the heroes who was buried.
"Since this is the case, then trouble Prince Changrong's condescension to send the old man to me."
After thinking about it, Yu Lao still kept his previous meaning unchanged.
He could take this opportunity to see if the relationship between Junchen and the crown prince Changrong was as rumored.
In the past, he just pretended to be deaf and dumb, but now that he has been involved, he can't ignore it anymore, because that is the only blood of his old friend.
Qi Changrong nodded gently, and the wry smile on the corner of his mouth dissipated: "Can Elder Yu get in the car?" ”
"Nope." Yu Lao shook his head and refused without hesitation, glanced at Qi Changrong, and said with rare soberness: "If I get too close to you, maybe it won't be long before I will die without a body." ”
The royal family is always the most sensitive nerve in the world, and whoever takes a step closer will face countless open guns and hidden arrows.
He prides himself on his peerless exploits, but not so absurd as to think that he is invincible.
Speaking of which, he is just a drop in the ocean, and he can't rank at all in Shangjing, where Wolong and Hidden Tiger are located.
The most important thing is that looking at Qi Changrong's appearance, she doesn't seem to put too much thought into him, that is to say, she doesn't care about his life or death after stepping into the imperial city.
If he didn't want to be pierced into a sieve, he had to stay away from her as much as possible.
Qi Changrong smiled lightly, and nodded slightly, but he was not reluctant.
She was very 'kind' and didn't remind Yu Lao, since he appeared in front of her and accosted her, he has become an important character in the eyes of many people.
Ji Fang on the side looked sluggish, and when he saw that Qi Changrong was having a good conversation with a beggar, he didn't know how to react.
It wasn't until this moment that Ji Fang couldn't help but wonder if he was worthy of the name of the head of the East Palace? I can't even figure out who His Royal Highness is close to......
Yu Lao blended into the team, relying on the special token of the East Palace, and entered the imperial capital that everyone flocked to without hindrance.
As we reached the main street, a loud shout came from outside the butcher's shop.
"You can't miss it when you pass by, the last piece of lean pork hind leg is sold at a low price, and it is sold to close the stall......"
As she spoke, she held a sharp meat cleaver in her hand, spun it in a circle in her palm, and fell down vigorously.
'Click', Yu Lao seemed to hear the sound of flesh and bone separation.
His eyes lit up, and then he looked over, Xie Mengzheng was shaving his bones neatly.
He touched Ji Fang with his arm and asked enthusiastically: "Your master is the crown prince of the dynasty, is she omnipotent?" ”
Ji Fang's scalp was numb by his enthusiasm, and he hurriedly moved a step to the side, widening the distance between the two, and replied truthfully: "It's not omnipotent, but most things in the world can't help Your Highness." ”
Yu Lao clenched his fists, and there was excitement in his eyes that couldn't be hidden: "Okay, then you tell your master, I want that girl to be my apprentice!" ”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed over the overlapping crowd, which landed on Xie Meng's body accurately.
As he pointed in the direction, Ji Fang narrowed his eyes, and then suddenly realized.
He also knew that girl, and her ancestors had been working for generations.
But why did the strange old man suddenly fall in love with her?
After considering the words, Ji Fang replied cautiously: "In this matter, maybe His Highness can't be the master......
After a sneer, Yu Lao glanced at him, and said nothing: "Your Royal Highness is very dark-hearted, she must have a way." ”
“……”
Ji Fang couldn't answer this.
Even if he deeply agreed with Yu Lao's statement, it was impossible to reveal the slightest hint of agreement on his face.
Talking about the royal family...... He also wants to be on the head.
Fortunately, Yu Lao also suddenly thought about it, and did not press it step by step, giving Ji Fang some buffer time.
Along the way, there were fewer and fewer people, and the Baihu Alley was as quiet as ever, without a trace of noise.
The red door was open, and the porter leaned drowsy against the steps.
When the sound of horses' hooves reached his ears, he changed the tired look on his face, stood up suddenly, and looked at the source of the sound.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar convoy, he couldn't help but have a strong suspicion in his eyes.
The dignitaries and nobles in Beijing all know that the Jun's family is not good at socializing, and rarely shows up to go out, let alone meet guests, and finally stops.
No one answered his doubts, and when Qi Changrong lifted the curtain and landed on the ground with the support of Shi Xia, the porter reacted slowly.
He said that who had such courage, it turned out to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace!
In the past, most of the princes entered through the back door, and few people knew about it, but today since she swaggered in through the main gate, it means ......
He didn't want to hide it from anyone.
Thinking of this, the porter strode forward, knelt respectfully and saluted, and shouted, "The slave has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
His voice was so loud that he wanted to alarm his neighbors.
Qi Changrong was extremely satisfied with his knowledge, and said lightly: "No courtesy, can the general be at home?" ”
"Nature at home." The porter got up, led the people to the mansion, and replied with a smile: "Your Highness also knows that the general has always been fond of going out, and he has nowhere to go except at home. ”
Qi Changrong nodded, deeply impressed.
However, the reason why Junchen has nowhere to go is because he doesn't want to go anywhere.
In the huge Shangjing, there are many people who want to invite the general as a guest.
The porter's eyes rolled, and his eyes fell on Yu Lao, who had been looking around, and asked tentatively, "But do you want the slave to go first and report to the general?" ”
Qi Changrong nodded with a smile.
"It's okay, you tell the general that you came alone with the old people of the Junfu."
