Eighteen, Dongyang thin
Ji Kaihan's words were said in Bai Yuyu's heart. She was originally just the daughter of an official eunuch family on the Lubei Plain. At that time, she was still called Bai Yuzhu. It is the name given by her father, which means that she is treated like a pearl and jade.
Once, she followed her mother into the mountains to worship the Buddha, and was robbed by robbers on the way. The robbers were ruthless, and after robbing the gold and silver treasures, they killed all the people who accompanied them, including Bai Yuyu's mother, and only because she was as beautiful as a flower could she save her life.
Bai Yuyu was robbed into the cottage and became the wife of the robber leader. She endured the humiliation, and after a few months, she finally escaped while the robbers were out to rob. I thought I could escape from the wolf's den and live back to my old days. Unexpectedly, when she came back, everything would be different.
It turned out that after she was robbed into the cottage, her father insisted that she committed suicide to protect her innocence. The local officials reported it to the imperial court, and the imperial court soon gave her the archway of the chaste martyr. His father was also rewarded by the court for teaching his daughter, so everyone was happy.
Who knew she was back again, and from the robbers' den. In this way, the fact that she died to preserve her innocence became a fake, and the archway of the chaste martyr became a big joke.
From the moment she returned, the people in the mansion began to sigh. Her father didn't give her a good look every day, and said every day: "Why don't you just die?" It's better to be dead. Why come back? Why do you want to come back? Bai Yuzhu realized that she was really wrong to come back. Because she returned, the archway of the chaste martyr was smashed; Because she came back, her father was demoted by two levels by the imperial court.
No one believed that a woman who had returned from a robber's den could retain her virginity. The people around her became more and more indifferent to her, and she sensed that everyone wanted her to die.
It turned out that her return turned out to be so wrong. So, she felt hopeless, and she thought of suicide. She went to the pharmacy to buy Heding Red and wanted to end her life.
After Hedinghong drank it, she didn't die, she was just in a daze. In a daze, she heard someone inform her father that she had taken poison. She sensed her daddy coming. Moreover, she hears her dad preventing others from saving her. He said, "It's good to be dead, it's good to be dead, and you can have an understanding of this matter when you're dead." ”
So, she was still breathing, and she was buried in a coffin as a dead person. Among them, she is not unconscious. She knew everything, she just couldn't speak.
Seeing that she is about to be buried in the ground, she is really cut off from this world. She heard someone outside say coldly, "She's not dead yet, you're newer than me." After that, there was a wail. When she woke up again, she had been saved by a man in his thirties and forties.
The person who rescued her was holding a piano in his hand. He looked like a man, but he wore heavy makeup on his face. He told her that he was the world's first evil ghost-faced Rakshasa Jade Shura, because he had done a lot of evil, the people in the rivers and lakes chased and killed him, and he hid in a mountainous area in Lunan for many years. As a result of cultivating the Demon Music Piano, he has become what he is now, neither male nor female.
Bai Yuzhu thanked him for saving herself and married him. His name is Situ Yu, so Bai Yuzhu changed his name to Bai Yuzhu.
Situ Yu taught Bai Yuyu how to deal with people in the world, how to be a ruthless person, and how to be ruthless. He also passed on all his kung fu to her. Before he died, he passed the magic sound piano to her. Later, Bai Yuxuan learned the piano successfully, so he walked out of the mountains and did evil everywhere.
She has forgotten how to write the word kindness. For so many years, she herself didn't know how many people she had killed and how many bad things she had done. However, Ji Xianhan's words just now made her heart tremble deeply.
However, no matter what, she can't forget that it was the world that forced her to have no way out, and it was the world that couldn't tolerate her, so she became what she is now. In fact, everything is not her Bai Yuxuan's fault. Ji Qihan is not her, how can he understand her thoughts.
Thinking of this, she snorted coldly and threw the entire magic sound piano towards Ji Qihan, which was completely the same way of playing.
Ji Qihan didn't look back, just raised his wide sleeves, and with a flick of it, the magic music piano fell to the ground. Standing in the cold night, Bai Yuyu didn't even pick it up, just sneered.
Ji Kaihan also sneered: "Since you forced me to kill you, you even have the determination to die, why don't you have the determination to reflect?" If you really want to atone for your sins with death, I will never stop you. ”
Ji Qihan's words made Bai Yuxuan's body slightly shocked. She stood in a daze for a long time, but she didn't say a word, and she didn't even pick up the magic music piano on the ground, and turned to leave.
"Uncle Ji, why did you let her go? She's sure to kill more people in the future. Tang was very unconvinced and shouted.
Ji Qihan turned his head to look at her bright eyes and smiled: "Definitely not." Because there is no murderous aura in her body. Everyone has a past that we can't look back on, and it may not be the perfect thing to do with our lives. ”
Ji Kaihan's short two sentences made Tang stunned speechless. She opened her eyes wide and stared at Ji Qihan: "Do you really have to be Uncle Ji?" ”
"In Xia Ji Compassion, there are no brothers, and there are no sisters, so they must not be your relatives."
"Do you know the former Miss Jane and the current Imperial Princess?" Tang asked with a smile blinking his eyes.
Ji Kaihan looked at her and smiled like a flower, and laughed to himself: "It turns out that you are her apprentice, no wonder, no wonder...... It's just that it's not like her, but like another old friend. Ji Qihan looked at Tang for a long time, stroked his palms and said, "I remembered which old man you look like." You are exactly the same as a girl named Tang Yuncao thirty years ago. ”
"That's the first mother." Tang was shocked and his face suddenly solemnized: "In the lower Tang Dynasty." My master is Fang Xiao. ”
Ji Qihan knew Tang Yuncao's matter very well, but he didn't want to provoke Tang Xuan's sadness, so he said: "Today, I don't want to save people on a whim, after saving the old people." It's a rarity! Where are you going? Why is he being hunted down by such a master? ”
Hearing Ji Kaihan's question, Tang was shocked and told the ins and outs of the matter. Ji Qihan was shocked when he heard it. He said repeatedly: "I see. I haven't asked about earthly events for decades, but so many things have happened. ”
He looked at Yu Mian and asked, "You are Yu Mian, Yu Qian's son?" Yu Mian said yes.
"Your father is loyal to the country and has left a name for the ages. It is also rare for you to inherit your father's will and serve the country. Ji Qihan pondered for a moment and said. Yu Mian nodded gloomily, and couldn't help but think of his father's past.
"Uncle Ji, I also heard that you have lived in seclusion for decades and have not asked about the world, why did you suddenly appear in this town today and save us?" Tang Yunxu asked.
"It's a coincidence. I haven't seen Miss Jian and Brother Shaoheng for decades, living alone in the valley of Hengdi, and suddenly I think of them, and I miss them tightly. Ben Chugu went straight to Beijing City. Halfway through, I heard someone say that the eldest lady and her party went to Nanjing, so they rushed to Nanjing again. Staying in this town tonight, I heard the magic sound appear in the middle of the night, so I came out to teach Bai Yuxuan's skills, but I never thought that I would save you by mistake. Ji Qihan slowly told what happened.
"Fortunately, I met Uncle Ji to help, otherwise, I am afraid that Yu Gongzi and I will be buried under Bai Yuyu's magic sound piano tonight." Tang Jingran and Yu Mian thanked Ji Aihan again.
The next day, Ji Qihan hurried with Tang Jingran and Yu Mian. Tang Jingran and Yu Mian were injured, although they were riding horses, they were never able to walk fast. Fortunately, with Ji Qihan's help along the way, they were not afraid that anyone would attack again. After all, with Ji Xinhan's martial arts, there will definitely not be more than ten people who can beat him today.
In the evening, the three entered the city of Nanjing. On the way, he never encountered anyone who pursued and killed again. I'm afraid that the people who are chasing and killing will also get the news early in the morning, knowing that Tang Jingran and Yu Mian have the help of masters, so they don't dare to come again.
After the three of them entered Nanjing, Yu Mian hurriedly said: "Nanjing City is so big, where should we go to find the eldest princess?" ”
Tang Jingran and Ji Xianhan replied almost in unison: "Shangshu Mansion in Huanhua Lane." ”
It turned out that after Yongle moved its capital to Beijing, the Jian Mansion in Huanhua Lane in Nanjing City was preserved intact. Every time Jian Huaizhen returned to Nanjing, he would not stay in the palace, but in the Shangshu Mansion. After all, this mansion once carried her memories of growing up for nearly twenty years. Here, she can get close to the people closest to her.
Nanjing City has not changed much from that year, and Ji Weihan remembers every street vividly. Soon, the group came to the front of Shangshu Mansion in Huanhua Lane.
The guard of the mansion was an old man of sixty or seventy years old, and when he saw three people, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What is the matter with the three of you?" ”
Tang was shocked to see that this old man was a little unfamiliar, but he was a little suspicious, and asked, "The old man is polite." The little woman is the younger generation of the eldest princess, and she came to ask to see the eldest princess. ”
The old man looked at her suspiciously, and said, "Is it just a junior?" That's not too familiar. The eldest princess is not in the Shangshu Mansion now, please go back. ”
"You ....." Yu Mian was worried about Zhu Jianshen's safety, and was very anxious, so he wanted to break inside, but was stopped by the old man, and the two were deadlocked.
Ji Qihan stepped forward, looked at the old man for a long time, and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, you are the good uncle of Jian Mansion." ”
When the old man heard this, he looked at Ji Qihan for a long time and asked, "Are you ..... Who are you? ”
"I'm Ji Qihan. Don't you remember me? In the past, in the Shangshu Mansion of Shuntian Mansion, we often saw it. Ji Qihan asked.
The old man suddenly realized and said, "It turned out to be Ji Gongzi." The years are urging people to get old, when the young son was young, he didn't think that he was also an old person unconsciously. No wonder the old slave didn't recognize it. “
Ji Kaihan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Uncle Liang, when I was twenty years old, you were only in your thirties." I haven't seen each other for thirty years, so it's naturally different from back then. But I recognize you. ”
"Ji Gongzi has good eyesight, good eyesight. The old slave is clumsy, please don't be surprised. The old man rubbed his hands together and said.
"Well said. Is the eldest princess there? I'm here to see her this time, just to catch up. I came to accompany these two to find her some important things. Ji Qihan asked.
The old man replied respectfully, "The eldest princess lives in the mansion. The old slave also followed the princess to guard the mansion in Nanjing. When the eldest princess returned to Nanjing, the matter was very important, and people often came to ask for a meeting. Therefore, the princess specially ordered the old slave to block the car in front of the door. Since it was Ji Gongzi who came, he was naturally different from ordinary people. Please come in, please come in. After speaking, he led Ji Qihan in.
Ji Qihan and the three followed the old man into the mansion. The green bamboo in the Shangshu Mansion is verdant, the strange stone is simple, simple and clean.
The four of them walked into the garden, and happened to see Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng playing in the garden from a distance, and Fang Xiao sat on the side to watch. Ji Kaihan waved his hand and said, "Uncle Liang doesn't need to report, we can just go over by ourselves." ”
Ji Xianhan walked forward with Tang Jingran and Yu Mian, and when they were still ten steps away from Jian Huaizhen and the others, he heard Jiang Shaoheng say: "Princess, a distinguished guest has arrived today." ”
Jian Huaizhen didn't look back, and said lightly: "Really? ”
Fang Yu looked attentive, but still replied: "I want to say goodbye for thirty years, Brother Ji's demeanor has not diminished back then." With that, he stood up.
Ji Qihan laughed and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you can still remember me." ”
Yu Mian was puzzled and asked, "Miss Tang, how can the eldest princess and Mrs. Jiang know the identity of the person who came?" ”
Jiang Shaoheng fell down leisurely, and said with a smile: "Now on the rivers and lakes, there are few people who can walk into me within ten steps before being discovered." Brother Ji is not murderous, and he is not an enemy assassin. Uncle Liang stood in front of the door and did not stop him, he must be an old man. Up to now, we and other deceased people are scattered, and the only one who can come to Nanjing City to visit us is Brother Ji. ”
Ji Kaihan clapped his hands and laughed: "Wonderful! Wonderful! The martial arts of the three of them were better than mine thirty years ago. Now thirty years later, I don't know if he has been surpassed by Ji? You have to have leisure, and you must learn from each other. ”
Yu Mian saw the four of them, gossiping like old friends. I haven't seen each other for decades, but I'm so calm, as if I see each other every day. In the words, they are full of emotion. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, and said in my heart: If my father is still alive, wouldn't it be a great joy in life to be able to drink and talk with these old friends? Pity------
While speaking, a game of chess between Jian Huaizhen and Jiang Shaoheng had already been played. Jian Huaizhen turned around, saw Yu Mian, and saw that he and Tang were injured, and had already expected that something was wrong, but he still didn't move, and ordered someone to buy medicine to treat the two.
At that moment, Ji Xianhan sat down on the stone bench. Yu Mian and Tang were shocked to see Jian Huaizhen and told them in detail what had happened in the past half a month.
When Jian Huaizhen heard this, he was shocked: "It has been more than half a month since the crown prince was arrested. If the other party really wants to deal with the crown prince, I am afraid that his life is in danger. ”
"I don't think so." Jiang Shaoheng shook the folding fan in his hand and said leisurely: "Xiang Zhuang's sword dance is intended for Pei Gong." ”
"Brother Jiang means ------"
"They didn't necessarily mean to take the crown prince. It is not known to be the descendants of Yu Qian. Jiang Shaoheng pondered for a moment and said.
Fang Xiao also said: "There are too many coincidences in this matter, and it is too strange. Whoever the other party meant, the whole thing was too weird. I'm afraid it's not as simple as we think. ”
Ji Kaihan shook his head and said, "How many years have passed, you always think about things so complicated. It doesn't matter who is right or wrong in this matter, who the other party wants to deal with, what does it have to do with it? The so-called soldiers will block the water and come to the earth, and there is always a way to deal with it. The top priority is to rescue the crown prince. ”
Jian Huaizhen thought deeply and said, "What Brother Ji said is reasonable. Shocked, you and Mian'er are injured, stay in Nanjing first, and go to Qixia Mountain to recuperate from the red rudder. Brother Fang, please accompany Shocking Ran and Mian'er. I believe that if the people behind the scenes really want their lives, they will not stop there. Brother Jiang, you and I will enter the palace to face the saint. Brother Ji, this time you came out of the mountain, I think you have to go back to Beijing to meet many people. Come back to Beijing with us. ”
Fang Xiao, Jiang Shaoheng and Ji Qihan all nodded in agreement. Yu Mian to this day, seeing Jian Huaizhen's strategy, several peerless masters are obedient to her, and I can't help but be solemn in my heart.
Jian Huaizhen, together with Fang Xiao and Ji Kaihan, quickly left Nanjing City and rode back to Shuntian Mansion. Along the way, it was extremely smooth, and there was no half-point blockage. Entering the Shuntian Mansion, I saw that the guards were heavily guarded, and the portraits of Yu Mian were plastered everywhere, obviously the imperial court had issued an order to arrest Yu Mian.
Jian Huaizhen was about to enter the palace to meet him, when someone suddenly hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and said, "May I ask if you are the eldest princess?" ”
Jian Huaizhen secretly wondered, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who are you?" How do you know the identity of Hongu? ”
"Eldest Princess Qiqi, it was Miss Ruoyan who sent me here to wait. The eldest princess and several others have extraordinary appearances, and they can be seen at a glance. The visitor bowed his head and said.
Jian Huaizhen was skeptical and asked, "Ruo Yan asked you to come, what is the so-called matter?" "Ruo Yan is a little palace maid beside Jian Huaizhen, and the palace maid can't leave the palace at will on weekdays. But the person who came was dressed like a person in the palace. Jian Huaizhen inevitably had doubts.
"Her Royal Highness Princess Qiyu, Miss Ruoyan received news that someone was making trouble in the Shangshu Mansion in the capital. Therefore, he specially ordered to come down to meet the princess. The troublemaker claimed to be a relative of the princess. The stakes are serious, and I dare not slack off on my humble duties. The person who came said respectfully.
Only then did Jian Huaizhen understand that the person who came to tell the story was the guard of Shangshu Mansion. Presumably, he heard that someone was making trouble in Shangshu Mansion, so he specially sent Ruo Yan to see it. After Ruo Yan arrived, she didn't dare to make her own decision, and learned from the scattered places that Jian Huaizhen was about to return to Beijing, so she specially ordered the guards to come to announce.
Ji Kaihan smiled freely: "Someone dares to make trouble in the princess's Shangshu Mansion, and the courage is really not small." ”
Jiang Shaoheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and asked, "Your relatives are only the Zhu family's royal family and Brother Wen Ying. Could it be that Brother Wen Ying and his wife are back? ”
A wisp of meaning climbed up Jian Huaizhen's brow, and she pondered slightly: "If my brother comes home, he can't make trouble in front of his house." Let's go check it out. So, the group went straight to Shangshu Mansion.
Before he could reach the door, he saw a young man sitting in front of the door, refusing to get up. There were a large number of people standing densely around, and Ruo Yan was also standing next to her, at a loss.
"What's going on?" Jian Huaizhen jumped off the horse and stepped forward to ask.
