Twenty-sixty-one, bitter meat meter

"You're looking for our master? Who are you? The butler looked at him carefully for a long time and asked.

Ji Kaihan hurriedly said: "I am from the Ming Dynasty of China, my name is Ji Kaihan, and I was sent by the eldest princess Zhu Huaizhen. ”

"Are you the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty?" The butler looked him up and down for a long time, saw his makeup, heard him speak, indeed with a Middle-earth accent, and then nodded and said, "Come in." ”

So Ji Qihan walked in with the guide and the housekeeper, and after entering, Ji Qihan felt that something was wrong, all this was completely different from what he thought.

Kaijing Yao's family is a famous family, he thought it must be bustling and noisy, who knew that after coming in, he found that there was no figure in the mansion at all, and the whole house was full of strings, and it didn't look like the demeanor of a first-class famous family at all.

Although the decoration inside is magnificent, but it lacks a popularity, Ji Qihan couldn't help but raise his vigilance, he felt very strange in his heart, he didn't know why this situation happened, and he didn't know what was going on.

He followed the butler into the lobby quickly, and when he arrived at the lobby, the butler said to him, "Mr. Ji, right?" Please sit here for a while, and I'll go and ask the master right away. ”

The housekeeper personally went to make a cup of tea for Ji Kaihan, he sent the tea to Ji Kaihan's hands, and said to him: "This gentleman, you drink tea first, wait for me, the master will arrive soon." With that, he turned and walked inside.

At the same time, he also shouted inside: "Wanyun, it's time to greet the distinguished guests from afar." ”

So a woman named Wanyun walked out, the woman was about eighteen or nineteen years old, she was born with a good face and beautiful eyebrows, she walked to Ji Qihan's side and whispered: "Hello, distinguished guests from afar." ”

Ji Kaihan was just about to drink tea, and suddenly heard someone talking, this voice seemed familiar, awakening the memory in his heart, he raised his head, took a look, who knew that it was just this look, the whole person was stunned, stunned there.

It turned out that the person standing in front of him was not someone else, but it was a Jing Heng flute who was alive.

He sighed, the teacup in his hand couldn't help but fall to the ground, and he asked a little dazedly, "Hengdi, when did you come here?" ”

After saying this, he felt speechless, because if Jing Hengdi was still alive, so far, she was also a person of some age, how could she be only eighteen or nineteen years old, naturally he recognized the wrong person.

But how can anyone in the world be exactly the same as Jing Hengdi? Even he, a man who loves Jing Hengdi, is difficult to tell?

He looked at the woman named Wanyun in a daze, and the woman also looked at him with curious eyes, Ji Qihan looked at her for a long time before he said slowly: "I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”

The woman turned out to be proficient in Chinese, she saluted Ji Qihan, and looked Ji Qihan up and down, obviously she was also a little curious about Ji Qihan.

She is used to seeing North Korean knights in North Korea, but she has never seen a character dressed like Ji Qihan, and although he is a man of some age, he looks bright and upright, still personable, and has a bit of youthful feelings and pride.

Wanyun couldn't help but feel a little more admiration for him in her heart, and she said softly to Ji Qihan: "My surname is Yao, and my name is Yao Wanyun." ”

"Yao Wanyun? Are you the young lady of the Yao family? Ji Qihan was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but feel very strange, why did the Yao family send their young lady to come out to greet the guests in person?

Yao Wanyun nodded and said, "Yes, I am Wanyun, the second daughter of the Yao family, and my father is inside." Distinguished guests from afar, you should drink a cup of tea, come on, make another cup of tea for this distinguished guest. ”

"Yes." Immediately after that, a little guy who came out of nowhere came up with a cup of tea.

Yao Wanyun took it and put it in Ji Aihan's hands in person, Ji Kaihan was just about to drink tea, and the guide said to him with a smile: "This tea is really good, I have lived in Kaijing for so many years, and I have never drunk such good tea." The Yao family is worthy of being a famous family, and the tea is better than others. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the teacup in his hand fell and shattered into countless pieces, and the guide fainted.

Ji Kaihan glanced at it, he looked down at the tea in his hand again, and immediately understood what was going on, it turned out that someone had poisoned the tea, fortunately he saw Yao Wanyun just now looking exactly like Jing Hengdi, and only looked at her wholeheartedly, and accidentally knocked over the teacup, if not, now I am afraid he will also be poisoned.

Ji Kaihan has always been a very vigilant person, and ordinary poisons can't fascinate him at all, but just now it was different, the friendship between the Kaijing Yao family and Jian Huaizhen has always been very good, and he would not doubt that the Kaijing Yao family would have someone to deal with him no matter what, but now it seems that everything is different.

Ji Kaihan stood up violently, looked at Yao Wanyun, and asked, "Second Miss Yao, I think you have to explain, what the hell is going on?" ”

Yao Wanyun scolded and said, "There's nothing to explain, thief, let's die." After finishing speaking, she stepped forward and pulled out a small sword with a cold light from her sleeve, and stabbed at Ji Qihan.

Ji Kaihan didn't expect that Yao Wanyun looked young and thin, and he was also a person with strong martial arts, so he casually picked up the flute in his hand and greeted him.

Ji Kaihan's kung fu is not comparable to ordinary people, although Yao Wanyun's martial arts are also considered high, but when he encounters a top master like Ji Kaihan, he is naturally not an opponent.

Ji Xianhan just gently pushed with the horizontal flute, and the small sword in Yao Wanyun's hand fell to the ground, she suddenly lost her face, looked at Ji Qihan vigilantly, and shouted: "Who are you?" ”

As she spoke, she fisted and kicked each other, but unfortunately in Ji Kaihan's opinion, she was just embroidering her legs.

Ji Qihan raised a kick and kicked her backwards.

Seeing that she was about to be kicked to the ground, Ji Kaihan couldn't bear it, as long as he saw her eyes like Jing Hengdi, Ji Kaihan's heart couldn't calm down anymore, he stretched out his hand, held her up, and asked repeatedly, "Are you okay?" ”

Yao Wanyun shook her head a little blankly and said, "I'm fine, why do you have such a high skill?" Where did they go to bring you here? Why are you dealing with my daddy? You said. ”

When Ji Qihan heard her say this, he was stunned for a moment, he shook his head and said, "I'll deal with your father?" I said Miss Yao Er, I'm afraid you're mistaken, right? Why should I deal with your daddy? ”

"If you didn't deal with my father, how could you come to the door?"

"Didn't I already say that? I was sent by the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty to ask to see the king of Joseon, so how could I be your enemy? ”

"You don't have to lie to me, there have been people who have come to the door with various excuses before, but every time their goal is to assassinate my father and get the Danshu Iron Scroll."

"What? Dan book iron scroll? He couldn't help but be stunned, what is the Danshu Iron Scroll? He looked at Yao Wanyun and said, "What is that?" ”

Yao Wanyun snorted coldly and scolded: "You don't have to say these nonsense anymore, you are here for the Danshu Iron Scroll, how can you not know what the Danshu Iron Scroll is?" Kill as you please," she said, and she looked up and said no more.

"Miss, I think you're really mistaken. I am really the eldest princess of the Ming Emperor who sent me to borrow troops from you and the Joseon Dynasty, how could it be that you said that I came here for the iron scroll of Danshu? What's more, I don't even know what the Danshu Iron Scroll is. ”

Although he explained to Yao Wanyun for a long time, Yao Wanyun always didn't believe it.

Yao Wanyun said hatefully: "I know that you traitors are scheming, if my sister hadn't been instigated by you, how could she end up committing suicide by throwing herself into a well?" I will not be deceived by any of your tactics. ”

Ji Kaihan couldn't help but sneer, he felt that he really had no way to communicate with the little girl in front of him, he was thinking about what to do, when suddenly the housekeeper rushed in hurriedly and shouted: "Second Miss, it's not good, it's not good, something is wrong." ”

After Ji Qihan and Yao Wanyun heard it, they turned their faces at the same time, the housekeeper was startled when he saw the situation inside, he pointed at Ji Qihan and said to Yao Wanyun: "Miss, is he really the person sent by the thief?" ”

Yao Wanyun nodded.

Ji Kaihan turned his face away and said to her, "I think you are really mistaken, didn't I say it?" I was originally a Ming person, and I don't know who the thief you are talking about is. What the hell is going on? ”

Yao Wanyun was slightly stunned, and she said to Ji Qihan with some disdain: "So far, what else do you have to pretend?" Even if you say your purpose, it's all for the sake of the Danshu Iron Scroll. ”

At this time, he had already heard the faint sound of fighting in the yard, Ji Qihan glanced at Yao Wanyun, ignored her, and walked out.

When he walked out, he saw dozens of men in the courtyard who had come out at some point, and now they were fighting with a group of men dressed in white and wearing turbans on their heads.

Ji Qihan was slightly stunned, the old butler had already walked to his side and said to him, "Aren't you in a group with these white-headed soldiers?" ”

Ji Qihan shook his head and said, "No." With that, he immediately stepped forward to help the family members fight with the white-headed army.

How could the white-headed army be the opponent of Ji Kaihan, a peerless master? In just a few rounds, the hundreds of white-headed soldiers had already been beaten down by him, and his martial arts were so high that everyone present was stunned.

Martial arts originally originated in the Central Plains, and the martial arts of martial arts are the highest in all countries, and Ji Qihan's martial arts are already among the best in the Central Plains, not to mention in the small and wild country of North Korea? Naturally, those white-headed soldiers were quickly defeated.

But he did it every time, and he didn't deliberately hurt anyone.

After the white-headed army was beaten down by him, the leader raised his head and looked at him, as if he had seen a ghost, and after looking at it for a long time, he raised his hand and said, "Let's retreat first." With that, the group withdrew.

Ji Kaihan carefully observed the group of people, and found that they did not look like a group of rabble, they were obviously specially trained, although their martial arts were not very high, but it was really more than enough to defeat that group of family members.

Ji Qihan was slightly stunned, turned his face and asked the old housekeeper, "Who is that?" ”

The old housekeeper looked at Ji Qihan suspiciously, and after a long time, he said, "You really aren't with them?" ”

"Of course not, if I'm with them, how can I help you."

"That's not necessarily, who knows if you're making a bitter trick."

Ji Qihan looked for the voice, and saw Miss Yao Er, who looked exactly like Jing Hengdi, walking out, and after coming out, she hid beside the old housekeeper and glared at Ji Qihan.

When Ji Kaihan saw her, she was rude and willful, completely different from the appearance she had just come out.

Ji Qihan couldn't help but sigh slightly: "Although this person looks very much like Jing Hengdi, she has never been Jing Hengdi, Jing Hengdi will not be like this." ”

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

Yao Wanyun didn't know why there was a sad look on his face, so he didn't dare to ask him, and after a long time, Yao Wanyun said as if tentatively: "You are really not one of theirs?" ”

Ji Qihan said with a smile: "Didn't I say it a long time ago? I'm not one of theirs, it's just that you won't believe me. ”

"Okay, okay, I believe you are, I guess they can't have such a martial arts master. If there are people with such high kung fu, why would they resort to such despicable means to snatch the Danshu Iron Scroll. ”

After hearing Yao Wanyun say this, Ji Qihan walked up to her, stared at her, and asked, "Second Miss Yao, now you can tell me what's going on, right?" This is a token of our eldest princess. As he spoke, he took out the token that Jian Huaizhen had given him.

"You also know that the eldest princess of our Ming Dynasty and your Yao Jiyin Empress Yao are Jinlan sisters. Because there were some battles in the imperial court, the eldest princess specially sent me to borrow troops from the Empress Dowager Yao. ”

Yao Wanyun thought for a while, then raised her head and said to him: "Okay, then I believe you, I guess you are also like the person next to the legendary princess, otherwise, how can you have such a high level of martial arts." Come in, I'll tell you slowly. ”

So Ji Qihan walked in with her.

Yao Wanyun took him to a house, and after walking to that room, she pointed to the upper seat and said to Ji Qihan, "Please take a seat." ”

Ji Qihan nodded, and sat up, who knew that as soon as he sat down, there was an iron cage that seemed to fall from the sky, and immediately trapped him in the iron cage.

It took a long time for Ji Kaihan to react, he was slightly stunned, and then he realized that Yao Wanyun said that she believed him just now, but she was just lying to him, and Yao Wanyun still wanted to catch him.

Even though he had an extremely good temper, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and said, "Miss Yao, what do you mean by this?" ”

"Don't you know what I mean? You bad guy, I know you're their man, otherwise how would you use bitter tricks. ”

Ji Kaihan didn't know what to say, he lived for more than fifty years, and he was planted in the hands of a little girl several times, and that little girl looked exactly like his old love Jing Hengdi, he stretched out his hands, looked at Yao Wanyun, and said, "Then what are you going to do with me?" ”

Yao Wanyun circled around the iron cage and said to him: "I want to tell you, don't move around, because this iron cage is made by the most prestigious craftsmen of our Joseon Dynasty." If you move slightly, or if you use a little luck, I believe that the iron cage will immediately fall on you, and when the time comes, the iron cage will immediately launch tens of thousands of poisoned arrows. When the time comes, ten thousand arrows will pierce the heart and die, which is really pitiful. ”

When Ji Kaihan heard her say this, there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, he looked at Yao Wanyun and said, "Second Miss Yao, I think you should find out if you are wrong or not, and imprison me, don't you think it's inappropriate to do this?" If I am really a person sent by the Ming Dynasty, and you offend the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming Dynasty will have to deal with North Korea, and this is the responsibility of your Second Miss Yao. ”

"You ......" Yao Wanyun pointed at him, a little angry.

On the contrary, the old housekeeper listened, but immediately walked to Yao Wanyun's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

After Yao Wanyun heard what the old housekeeper said, she nodded, and handed over the token that Ji Qihan handed over to the old housekeeper, obviously asking the old housekeeper to take it for confirmation.

Yao Wanyun sat down on the side, talking to Ji Kaihan without a match, it could be seen that she was still very interested in Ji Kaihan, she asked Ji Kaihan and said, "Hey, I said that your martial arts are so high, where did you learn it?" If you're not a bad person, I can learn martial arts from you, and it must be good. ”

Ji Kaihan was a little crying and laughing, and said to her: "Where did I learn my martial arts, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that it's useless for you to lock me up, but it will cheapen those real thieves." When they came, I helped you beat them away, and if something happened to me, who would help you beat him then? ”

"Then you don't have to worry about it, can't we do it ourselves without you to make a bitter plan?" Yao Wanyun gave him a blank look and said.

While they were chatting, the old housekeeper hurried in, and the old housekeeper glanced at Yao Wanyun, with a worried look on his face, and he whispered in Yao Wanyun's ear.

After Yao Wanyun listened, her eyes widened and she asked, "What you said is true?" ”

"It's not wrong, it's true, this is what the Queen Mother said herself, how could she be mistaken? What can I do? ”

Yao Wanyun's eyes rolled, her face became a little ugly, she stood up, walked around the iron cage, walked around a few times, looked at Ji Qihan, and asked him, "Hey, I want to ask you something." ”

Ji Qihan held back the anger in his heart and asked, "What are you going to ask me about?" ”

"I want to ask you, if someone did something that hurt you, what would you do to her? Will you forgive her as if nothing happened? ”

When Ji Qihan saw her expression, he suddenly understood in his heart that someone must have confirmed that he was really the original person.

Ji Kaihan wanted to deliberately scare her, so he said: "It depends on what that person does to me, if you lock me in an iron cage and don't let me out for more than two hours, you will also intimidate me, saying that if I dare to act rashly, it will be very serious, and I will die with ten thousand arrows through my heart." That's very hateful, don't you say? ”

Yao Wanyun's face turned blue and white for a while when he said it, she looked Ji Qihan up and down, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then you are a man, men can have a lot of adults, and you don't have to worry about others." Do you have to deal with a little woman? ”

"Little woman? Who is the girl referring to? Is it yourself? ”

When Yao Wanyun heard him joke, she knew that he was deliberately scaring himself and joking with himself.

Originally, Ji Xianhan thought that Yao Wanyun was going to be angry, but who knew that she was not angry, she just smiled slightly and said: "Even if it is me, what if it is me, okay, the old housekeeper has already confirmed with the Queen Mother, you are indeed the envoy of the Ming Dynasty." I accidentally locked you in an iron cage just now, and you're not going to be angry with me, are you? ”

Ji Kaihan originally wanted to tease her a few more words, but as soon as he saw her eyebrows that resembled Jing Hengdi, eyes that resembled Jing Hengdi, and every move that resembled Jing Hengdi, his heart suddenly softened, and he nodded and said, "Just take it." ”

Yao Wanyun clapped her hands and smiled: "That's good." Butler, put him down, he said he wouldn't blame me. ”

The old housekeeper nodded, and then went to release Ji Qihan from the iron cage, and he said to Ji Qihan apologetically: "I'm really sorry, this gentleman, we didn't know that you were from it." Because there are a lot of things going on in the country, that's why it's like this. ”

Ji Kaihan saw the old housekeeper's sad face, and realized that maybe things were not as simple as he thought.

This is a dignified prime minister's mansion, and two or three hundred thieves rushed in so easily, so what kind of thieves are they? And the atmosphere in Yao's Mansion is very weird, each of them seems to be facing a great enemy, obviously something big has happened.

Thinking of this, Ji Xianhan said solemnly: "None of this is important, I want to ask you, what happened?" Why did some thieves rush into the house? And why do you stand with the thieves? ”

The old butler hesitated.

Yao Wanyun nodded and said, "Don't you want to see the Queen Mother?" Okay, let the Queen Mother make things clear to you, let's go. ”

"Where to go?"

"Go see the Queen Mother." She said to Ji Qihan.

Ji Kaihan followed behind her and went with her to see the Queen Mother, but Yao Wanyun, a girl, was eccentric, and what kind of ghost tricks also came out, so Ji Kaihan still had a little more thought.

He was very cautious this time, careful, lest he be accidentally put in an iron cage by someone else.

Yao Wanyun took Ji Qihan through a lot of corridors before he came to the front of an inconspicuous house, he pointed to the house and said, "The Queen Mother and my father are here, you come in with me." With that, she walked ahead.

Ji Qihan followed behind her.

After entering, Yao Wanyun shouted loudly: "Daddy, I brought in the original Mr. Ji from the middle." ”

There was no talk in the house for a long time, and after a long time, a somewhat tired male voice came and said, "Come in." ”

So Yao Wanyun walked in with Ji Qihan.

After entering, Ji Xianhan found that this was a very authentic North Korean decoration house, but the house was a little simple, and there were two couches in the house, one of which was a middle-aged man in his forties sitting cross-legged on one of the couches.

The middle-aged man looked energetic, but there was a look of exhaustion in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and there was a curtain hanging on the bed on the other side, and there was a figure swaying inside, obviously a female dependent.

Yao Wanyun mentioned the name of the Queen Mother just now, Ji Qihan thought to himself, is there a Queen Mother sitting inside?

When he was hesitating, the middle-aged man had already said: "I am Wan Yun's father and Yao Yongsheng, the master of Yao Mansion, and welcome you, the envoy, to our North Korea." ”

After Ji Qihan heard him say this, he smiled bitterly and said, "Master Yao, you don't have to be polite, may I ask who is sitting under the curtain?" But ma'am? Ji Qihan asked deliberately.

Master Yao hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "This is my sister, that is, the Empress Dowager Yao of our Joseon Dynasty." ”

The person sitting in the curtain said softly: "The envoy does not have to be rigid and polite, I don't know why the envoy has come to my DPRK in a big way?" ”

Ji Kaihan smiled slightly and said: "That's the case, I came to the Joseon Dynasty on the order of the eldest princess of the Ming Dynasty, and I want to borrow troops from the Queen Mother. Now that the political situation in our Ming court is unstable, we need some troops to turn the tide, and we ask the Queen Mother to borrow troops. It's just. After saying this, he raised his eyes and glanced at the curtain again, and said loudly: "It's just that I look at the current situation, presumably the Queen Mother has also encountered some trouble, I don't know if I'm right?" ”

After hearing his words, Yao Zhenyin didn't speak for a long time, but in the end, she finally said slowly: "Yes, you are right. Now, I think North Korea has no troops to lend to the Ming Dynasty for the time being, but the first emperor and the eldest princess have always been friendly, and the first emperor also promised the eldest princess that if the eldest princess needs our North Korea to help one day, North Korea will definitely do its best to assist and help the eldest princess. The troublesome messenger went back to say to the eldest princess, and said that Zhen Yin said sorry to his sister, but he was not able to help his sister today. When she had said that, she ordered the curtain to be lifted.

At this time, Ji Qihan looked up, and he saw Yao Zhenyin behind the curtain, Yao Zhenyin looked older than Jian Huaizhen, with gray hair, obviously because she was too exhausted, her face looked fine, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were full of tiredness.

Ji Kaihan just glanced at her, and immediately understood in his heart that it was not only Jian Huaizhen who had encountered danger and difficulties, but also the difficulties in front of Yao Zhenyin were even heavier.

He hesitated, but still saluted and said: "Sympathy Han also knows that he shouldn't talk too much at this time, but some words are still not unpleasant, and I ask the Queen Mother to tell Sympathy the truth." When I came in, I found that there was some chaos in the house, and Miss Yao Er was full of soldiers, as if something big had happened. I wonder if the Queen Mother can tell me what happened? ”

After Ji Qihan said this, he looked to the side, his eyes looking directly at Yao Wanyun.

Who knows what kind of dissatisfaction Yao Wanyun didn't make to him as he imagined, or other expressions, she just lowered her eyebrows there and didn't say a word, obviously in a very heavy mood.
