"An Jinxiu?"

The sudden sound of people behind her made An Jinxiu instinctively look back, but before she could see the person clearly, she was hit the neck. An Jinxiu's eyes darkened, and she fell into the arms of the visitor without any struggle.

At this time, a few people with lanterns walked out of the courtyard of the guest room, led by Mama Su, who was serving An Jinyan closely.

"Carry people away," Mama Su stepped forward, glanced at An Jinxiu, who was knocked unconscious in the arms of the guards, and ordered a few palace people behind her, "Be careful, don't break her." ”

Two palace people came up and took An Jinxiu from the guard's arms.

"Hurry up," Mama Su led the way in front and walked towards the room where An Jinxiu and Aunt Xiu had spoken earlier.

After the guards who stunned An Jinxiu completed their task, they turned around and hid their bodies in the darkness again.

In the small guest room, it has been re-cleaned and arranged, put a palace lamp covered with red yarn, the bed has also been replaced with a large one, or the kind with soft cushions, the newly hung bed tent is also selected in red, and the embroidery on the bed sheet is the mandarin duck playing in the water that will only be used when the newlyweds get married. A guest room in a nunnery was furnished into a new room.

Mama Su ordered An Jinxiu to be placed on the brand-new bed, looked at An Jinxiu, her makeup was intact, and she carefully smelled the smell of An Jinxiu's body, and there was no peculiar smell, so she said to the palace people behind her, "You all go out and wait for me." ”

The palace people immediately withdrew.

Mama Su touched An Jinxiu's face, and said to herself, "The skin is really slippery, this little appearance is really attractive, no wonder the princess wants to calculate you." ”

An Jinxiu, who was knocked unconscious, snorted softly in her mouth at this time, as if she was about to wake up.

Mama Su took out a small porcelain bottle from her sleeve with great agility, pinched open An Jinxiu's mouth, and poured the transparent potion in the bottle into An Jinxiu's mouth. Afraid that An Jinxiu would spit out the potion, he covered An Jinxiu's mouth with his hand for a while, forcing An Jinxiu to swallow the potion in his mouth.

An Jinxiu, who was poured with the potion, had a few convulsions before falling into a coma again.

"This medicine can make you sleep well," Mama Su said to An Jinxiu after seeing that An Jinxiu was completely immobile, "So that you won't suffer too much, this is also a good thing that the slave maid has done for you," Mama Su said, unbuttoning or loosening the buttons and belts on An Jinxiu's body one by one, and then pulled the quilt on the bed, covered An Jinxiu completely, put down the bed net, and then exited this room.

"Go and tell Niangniang," after Mama Su left the guest room, she said to the palace people waiting outside the guest room, "The matter has been done." ”

A palace man who was also a few years old turned around and trotted to the quiet room in the front yard to report the news.

"Let's all go down, I'll guard here," Mama Su said to the remaining palace people after seeing that the palace people had run away.

Several palace people were busy walking outside the courtyard, and before they could walk a few steps, they heard Mama Su behind them say sternly in a stern voice, "You are all brought out by me, from the moment you first entered the palace, I told you that in the palace, the master doesn't want you to speak, you are born dumb." ”

Shangguan Rui returned home from the academy, and heard the nurse who opened the door for him say that An Jinxiu and Ziyuan had not come back yet, and Shangguan Rui didn't think much about it, so it was difficult to ensure that his sister-in-law would not come back after eating in the nunnery. After following Shangguan Ning, who ran out of the room to greet him, said a few words, Shangguan Rui took Shangguan Ning into the house to see Ping'an, who was still asleep and didn't wake up.

When the nurse saw Shangguan Rui coming back, she went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the family.

At dusk, the nurse's dinner was busy, and more than a dozen farmers who rented land with An Jinxiu to cultivate in the village outside the city came to deliver the money for renting land.

Shangguan Rui let these peasants into the house. It was Shangguan Rui's idea to rent land and go out to give people seeds, and at this time, seeing that the farmers were sending money, Shangguan Rui was also a little relieved. I'm afraid that I won't be able to collect the money when I rent the land, so there is nothing to worry about in this business.

While beckoning the farmers to sit down in the front hall, Shangguan Rui asked the nurse to cook some more food, and asked Shangguan Ning to go to the room to watch the peace. At this time, it was already time for dinner, and the peasants came to the door, and Shangguan Rui could not let these peasants go hungry.

The eldest among the peasants, the old man surnamed Wang, followed Guan Rui and excused himself: "The second master doesn't have to be polite to the villains, just go back to eat." ”

Shangguan Rui said, "Elder Wang, don't be humble to me, just finish eating here with me and then leave." “

Old man Wang thought about it and explained to Guan Rui, "Second master, the villains didn't pick this point, the villains walked late from the Zhuangzi, and when they crossed the city gate, they encountered a search again, so they stepped on this meal." ”

Shangguan Rui smiled and shook his hand to Old Man Wang, and said, "You guys can afford me at this point, so you will leave after you are full of wine and food today." ”

Old man Wang stopped saying that he was leaving, and after talking for a while, An Jinxiu hadn't come out yet, so he asked, "Is the housewife of the house not here today?" ”

Shangguan Rui said: "She went to Shangxiang today." Elder Wang, what are you searching for when you said that the city gate is searching? ”

The old man Wang and the peasants shook their heads and said, "The little people don't know either, they only know that there are more officers and soldiers at the city gate today." ”

A thought flashed in Shangguan Rui's mind, Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei just left today, could it be that at this time, the government began to arrest them again? But Shangguan Rui didn't think about it deeply, Yuan Yi and Yuan Wei had left Kyoto, even if the imperial court came to search the whole city again, he had nothing to fear.

The nurse thought that she would have to prepare meals for a dozen people at once, and she alone could not be busy. So the nurse called Shangguan Rui out from the front hall again and said, "Second master, can I go and ask a few neighbors to help with the meal?" ”

Shangguan Rui took some money from his body and gave it to the nurse, saying, "When you go to invite someone, bring some wine and food back by the way." ”

The nurse agreed.

Shangguan Rui looked up at the raindrops dropped from the sky, for the recent rainy day, Shangguan Rui is really tired, when will this God let him bask in the sun for a while?

When Shangguan Rui returned to the front hall and sat down, talking to the peasants and waiting for food, the rain outside the house was getting heavier and heavier. Some farmers took the initiative to talk about the recent weather, and the rain has not stopped, which is not a good thing for their farming. Don't look at Shangguan Rui, a person who reads sage books, he is also interested in farming in the field, and he can really talk about it with these dozen people who face the loess all day long and have their backs to the sky.

The nurse went to the street to buy a lot of food and drinks, and went to the neighboring houses to ask for help. An Jinxiu is here in the old lane in the south of the city, although he is not an old neighbor with the people here, but the popularity is very good.

For a while, Shangguan's house seemed to be full of people, which was completely different from the quiet of Shangguan Rui who could only hear Shangguan Rui reading in the past.

"Big brother!" Shangguan Ning, who looked at the safe sleep, but also fell asleep herself, woke up from the dream at this time, and after her eldest brother came back in the dream, he brought her a bag full of pastries, which made Shangguan Ning drool in the dream. looked left and right, ran to the door and looked out, and made sure that she was just dreaming, and after the eldest brother Shangguan Yong did not come back, Shangguan Ning suddenly wanted to cry a little, she really missed her eldest brother.

At this time, Shangguan Yong, who was missing his little sister, walked to the south gate of Kyoto in the rain on foot. Seeing from a distance that there were many more officers and soldiers in front of the city gate than in the past, Shangguan Yong stopped and did not go forward.

On the way from Xiang'an City to Kyoto, Shangguan Yong met six groups of people who wanted to kill him, and just yesterday he met the sixth group of people who cut down all the war horses he was riding. Shangguan Yong didn't have to think about who wanted to kill him, he didn't offend anyone, he just had the account book given to him by King Xin in his arms, and at this time, except for Le Anhou, no one would want his life so impatiently.

Shangguan Yong turned around and walked back, found a tea shop and sat down on the official road not far from Kyoto City, asked for a bowl of hot tea and a plate of white-flour trowels and ate it. The appearance of those officers and soldiers in front of the city gate carefully searching everyone who entered the city made Shangguan Yong suspicious, God knows if these people were looking for him? The roster is the evidence of the crimes of the queen and the crown prince, who else in Kyoto City can be bigger than these two except Sejong? Shangguan Yong forced himself to eat his stomach first, and after a while, he had to fight for his life again, and he also had to have the physical strength to fight with others.

After Shangguan Yong finished eating a plate of six large steamed buns, a team of city defense troops who went out of the city to inspect walked outside the tea shop.

As usual, the owner of the tea shop stood outside the tea shop and greeted, "Do you want tea and snacks for the soldiers?" ”

The leading lieutenant glared at the boss, and these businessmen knew that they on duty could not stop to eat and drink, but they had to shout every time.

The boss was glared at by the captain, but he was not afraid, but still stood outside the tea shop with a smile.

After glaring at the boss, the captain glanced at the boss's tea shop again, because it was raining, so there were many people who ate something in the boss's tea shop to take shelter from the rain, and the captain saw Shangguan Yong at a glance among these people.

"Brother Shangguan?" The lieutenant hurriedly shouted to Shangguan Yong.

Shangguan Yong looked back and saw that the person who walked into the tea shop was the third son of the Zhang family, who was separated by a wall from his house. This young man was still introduced by him to the city defense army, and seeing his little brother, Shangguan Yong felt that there was hope for him to sneak into Kyoto without knowing it. "Xiao Huazi," Shangguan Yong also called out to the captain.

"Big brother, are you back?" Zhang Hua sat on the stool next to Shangguan Yong and said, "The battle of Baiyuguan is over?" ”

Shangguan Yong shook his head and said, "I'm from Fengzhou, and I'm about to enter the city. ”

Zhang Hua hurriedly said, "Ah, I heard that it was General Zhou who captured Xiang'an City, and it turned out that the eldest brother went to Fengzhou with General Zhou to quell the rebellion." ”

"Well," Shangguan Yong said, "the city has been fine lately." ”

"It's okay," Zhang Hua took a sip of the tea that Shangguan Yong pushed in front of him, and said, "It's just that there is an extra team of officers and soldiers guarding the city gate today, and they don't tell us which team they are on." ”

"This is strange," Shangguan Yong said, "your city defense army is running outside the city, and there are people who can't recognize the calendar?" ”

Zhang Hua came to Shangguan Yong's approach and whispered, "We really haven't seen this team, we are all guessing that it is the soldiers and horses of Da Nei, and they also said that they lost something in the palace." ”

Shangguan Yong poured a sip of tea into his stomach, and it seemed that he had escaped another catastrophe if he didn't enter the city gate, "Don't talk nonsense," After swallowing this sip of tea, Shangguan Yong also taught Zhang Huadao, "Things related to the palace are what we can say?" Don't say it in the future, don't want it here? Shangguan Yong pointed at Zhang Hua's head.

Zhang Hua touched his head. Shangguan Yong smiled and said, "Didn't I just tell your eldest brother." ”

"I'll go into the city with you," Shangguan Yong said at this time, "Do those officers and soldiers still want to search me?" ”

Zhang Hua patted his chest, "Big brother just follow me, those people can't control my head!" ”

Shangguan Yong threw some more money on the table and said, "Buy some food for your brothers and bring it." ”

"No," Zhang Hua pushed the money into Shangguan Yong's cup, "I'll invite the eldest brother." ”

"Boss," Shangguan Yong turned around and called the boss over, no matter what Zhang Hua said on the side, he made the boss wrap a cage of steamed buns and a pound of dry-cut beef.

Zhang Hua refused, and after accepting the food that Shangguan Yong bought, seeing that Shangguan Yong was not wearing a robe, he asked his subordinates to bring a spare set of coats over and let Shangguan Yong wear them.

Shangguan Yong, who was dressed in a robe, walked in the team led by Zhang Hua. When the group reached the south city gate, Shangguan Yong pulled down the hat of the robe, trying his best not to let others see his face.

The officers and soldiers guarding in front of the city gate, some who knew Zhang Hua saw Zhang Hua coming back, so they greeted Zhang Hua.

Zhang Hua threw up his hand at these people.

As for the officers and soldiers suspected of being from Ouchi, they were still standing in the rain with a cold face. The leader asked Zhang Huadao, "Captain Zhang, is everything okay outside the city?" ”

Zhang Hua wants to say that this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, who is tired of running here to make trouble? But thinking that this person might be from Ouchi, he took back the ridiculous words and said honestly, "Everything is as usual." ”

"How many of you are out?" The man asked again.

Shangguan Yong's heart lifted, and his hand pressed the knife hanging from his waist.

Zhang Hua was just about to speak, when a caravan came from behind them, and the voice was still Fengzhou accent. The person who was interrogating Zhang Hua was suddenly distracted by this accent, and walked over with his men to meet the caravan.

Zhang Hua still wanted to see a lively scene, but Shangguan Yong urged him, "Let's go into the city." ”

Zhang Hua didn't know whether Shangguan Yong came back for business or to visit relatives, but thinking that this time he, the eldest brother, could spend a few days with his beautiful sister-in-law, so he smiled and said, "Big brother, is you anxious to see your sister-in-law?" ”

Shangguan Yong heard Zhang Hua mention An Jinxiu, and his heart ached, he was afraid that after he took over the roster of King Xin this time, he would affect An Jinxiu and his own pair of younger siblings.

"Let's go into the city," Zhang Hua didn't know what Shangguan Yong was thinking at the moment, so he waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates.

A group of people walked into Kyoto City, and behind them, a group of officers and soldiers were checking the people in the caravan one by one, and they didn't care about the movements of Zhang Hua's group.

Shangguan Yong broke up with Zhang Hua after entering Kyoto City, Zhang Hua took his men to inspect the streets and alleys of Kyoto South City, and Shangguan Yong stood on the street for a while, and entered the city without danger, and he didn't know where he could go at this time.

After letting Ahn Jinxiu return home, Sejong was not in the mood to stay in the nunnery any longer, but after just sitting and talking for a while, the rain fell heavily, and the prince proposed to return to the palace after eating here for fasting. Sejong has not eaten fasting since he became emperor, so he nodded right away, and it is better to change the taste once in a while.
