Chapter 133: Champion Wei Yuanyao
Something suddenly knocked open the hidden door, and a dark shadow rushed straight at it!
Bai Junzhuo hurriedly squatted down, hiding behind the corpse, holding his breath.
The footsteps of the things that came in were almost inaudible, but she could feel the other party approaching her step by step.
Suddenly, she felt something behind her gently touch her shoulder, Bai Junzhuo closed her eyes and waved the dagger in her hand to slash, and shouted loudly in fright: "Don't come here, get out!" ”
The thing clasped her hand and said, "Don't be afraid, it's me." ”
Hey? It's the human voice.
Bai Junzhuo slowly opened his eyes, and under the dim candlelight, Yin Xun lowered his head and looked at her calmly.
Bai Junzhuo's body seemed to see the real master, and he rushed towards Yin Xun without hesitation, and at the same time, tears couldn't help but flow down his face.
Yin Xun patted her on the back and made her cry for a while, before he comforted her in a light tone: "Don't cry, my clothes are dirty." ”
Even if he said such things without any interest, Bai Junzhuo still felt so down-to-earth in his heart, just like a person who had been trapped on the top of a snowy mountain and starved for several days suddenly saw a warm little house with a pot of freshly stewed corn and pumpkin porridge inside.
It's so warm and safe, it's almost impossible to live without!
After crying for a long time, Bai Junzhuo sniffed and let go of him, rubbed his eyes and asked, "Why are you here?" ”
"Why am I here?" Yin Xun knocked her head hard: "Did I tell you that I had to go back to the palace before the unitary time?" What time is it? ”
Bai Junzhuo didn't speak, Yin Xun pulled his sleeve to wipe her tears, and couldn't help but smile: "Aren't you quite bold, you are not afraid of being buried with the corpse, why are you scared to cry?" ”
"You listen to the howling outside, I'm afraid of wolves." Bai Junzhuo said aggrievedly.
"It's the wind." Yin Xun said, "Are you stupid?" How can there be wolves here? ”
Bai Junzhuo pursed his mouth, this person doesn't know how to coax her well, he is simply the worst boyfriend in the world!
Yin Xun looked her up and down, and when he saw that her arm was wrapped in gauze, he raised her hand and asked, "What's going on?" ”
Bai Junzhuo looked at his wound and said indifferently: "This is an old grandmother's cut, and it doesn't get in the way, so it broke a little skin, and it didn't bleed." I came here for fear of being infected, so I wrapped it in gauze. ”
"Why did she cut you?" Yin Xun frowned and asked.
"Because she doesn't want to be cremated."
For this reason, Yin Xun couldn't say anything more, sighed slightly, and asked again: "What about Lu Kang?" ”
As soon as he mentioned Lu Kang, Bai Junzhuo got angry and complained: "Who did he go after and leave me here alone, what if there is really a wolf?" ”
"There will be no wolves, since he left you here, it means that this place is safer than outside." Yin Xun seriously excused Lu Kang.
Bai Junzhuo wanted to pull his ear and ask if he was her boyfriend or Lu Kang's boyfriend, how could a girlfriend protect another person when she complained?
But she didn't dare to do this, so she could only look at Yin Xun aggrievedly.
Yin Xun's heart softened, and he pressed her into his arms and comforted: "Good, it's going to be fine, with me, no matter whether it's a wolf, a tiger or a lion, don't be afraid." ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded, and said with a buzz: "You want to deduct Lu Kang's salary." ”
"Huh?"
"Hold him up!"
"Okay," Yin Xun rubbed her hair and said, "Buckle down his money for you." ”
"Hmm!"
Lu Kang, who had just arrived at the door, happened to hear these words, hesitated for a long time, shook his head helplessly, and turned around to leave here.
"Now come back to the palace with me, I can't come out for too long." Yin Xun said.
Bai Junzhuo nodded, got up from his arms, took out a large pile of paper bags and handed them to Yin Xun and said, "Take it." ”
"What is this?" Yin Xun took those things and asked.
"Just take it, I'm still one last bit away, and I'll be fine soon." Bai Junzhuo skillfully cut a piece of the corpse's prostate, and then wrapped it in paper.
Yin Xun frowned and asked, "Are all the bread in these papers the internal organs of this corpse?" ”
Bai Junzhuo nodded: "That's right." ”
Yin Xun was speechless, "What are you doing with these things?" Don't you feel dirty? ”
"You don't eat it." Bai Junzhuo said, took off the sleeve on his hand, clapped his hands and said, "Let's go." ”
Yin Xun had no choice but to take those things and leave the mortuary with her.
*
After Lu Kang left the mortuary alone, he walked alone in Chang'an City. Originally, Chang'an was bustling and prosperous, and it was brightly lit at night, but now there are only a few restaurants and inns, which are sparsely lit.
He thought about the two people he had just met, and he didn't know what their intention was to bury the corpse, and who was the "master" in their mouths? Why do such a thankless job?
Unconsciously walked to the bottom of the Taibai Building, and suddenly felt a strong wind falling from above, Lu Kang thought it was a hidden weapon, threw off the fan and waved it over, only to hear the sound of "bang", a clear stream poured down his head and face, and the fragrance of wine overflowed.
Only then did he realize that it was not a hidden weapon that came down from downstairs, but a pot of good wine.
Looking up again, I saw that in the attic, Hongyin was still wearing a very manly official uniform, and said to him with a smile: "Come up for a drink?" ”
Lu Kang smiled at her, flew into the building, sat down beside her, poured himself a glass of wine unceremoniously, and said, "General Hongyin, I don't have the money to invite you to dinner, and my master wants to detain me." ”
"When did that kid Yin Xun become so picky? He's so rich, and he'll deduct that little money from you? Hongyin laughed.
"Hey, who asked me to make our princess-to-be unhappy," Lu Kang took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Fortunately, I still have the money sent by His Majesty." ”
"Yin Xun's quasi-princess? The little girl I saw today? Hongyin asked curiously.
Lu Kang nodded.
"Heh," Hongyin laughed, shook her head, and said, "I can't see it, that girl is smart and good-looking, but these are not enough." She has no back, after all. Jing, the Queen Mother will not agree to Yin Xun marrying her, she is at most a side concubine. ”
"It's not that the general doesn't understand the master, if the master wants her to be the princess, he will lead her to the position of the princess step by step, and the queen mother will definitely have nothing to say when the time comes."
"I hope so," Hongyin nodded, and asked Lu Kang again, "What about you?" Do you have a sweetheart? ”
"Ahem...... cough cough Lu Kang didn't swallow a sip of wine, choked twice, glanced at Hongyin helplessly, and said to her: "The overall situation is undecided, how dare I talk about the private affairs of my children." ”
Hongyin laughed, clenched his fist and hammered Lu Kang's chest and said, "I'm kidding, don't be nervous...... Hey, what's this squish? ”
Lu Kang lowered his head, took out a paper bag from his arms, and said, "Oh, this is the intestines of the white girl." ”
Hongyin stared at him with wide eyes: "Intestines? What did you do with her? ”
Lu Kang said helplessly: "What can I do with her?" This is the intestine she took from the corpse and asked me to help her carry it. ”
Hongyin breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you killed her." ”
"How dare I, that's the master's man."
Hongyin lowered her head and poured wine, and said with a smile: "If you want to kill someone one day, you must ask me to sharpen the knife for you." ”
Lu Kang knew that she was joking, and just wanted to speak, only to hear someone suddenly behind him: "General Hongyin, Lord Lu, I actually saw you here." ”
The two looked back, Hongyin frowned, and couldn't remember who the person behind him was, Lu Kang said with a smile: "It turned out to be Lord Wei, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing lately?" ”
The man sighed and said, "Soon after His Majesty moved the capital to Chang'an, there was this plague, Chang'an is declining day by day, and the people are panicking, how can I be good." ”
Lu Kang nodded and said, "It is really a blessing for the country to have a good official like Lord Wei in my Li country." ”
The man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Lord Lu has a good reputation, and since he lives in the temple, he naturally has to worry about the people, and I think Lord Lu is the same." ”
Lu Kang didn't speak, pointed to the position next to him and said, "Lord Wei, do you want to sit down and drink two cups together?" ”
The other party shook his head and said, "No, I still have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
Lu Kang nodded goodbye to him, and the man turned to leave.
After he left, Hongyin shook the wine glass in his hand and asked, "Who is he?" Know you well? ”
Lu Kang shook his head: "Not familiar." He is Wei Yuanyao, the champion of last year's imperial examination, and is currently the third rank of the servant, and his wife is the youngest daughter of Fu Hou. ”
"The Fu family?"
"Who knows," Lu Kang said with a smile, "All the ministers in the DPRK and China have something to do with Fu Hou, but not all of them are dedicated to doing things for Fu Hou after being co-opted, and many of them are good officials who are really for the people." ”
"But this Wei Yuanyao is not a good official, right?"
"Huh? Why? Lu Kang was puzzled.
"Intuition."
"General, don't be joking, how can you intuitively judge whether an official is good or bad." Lu Kang looked at Wei Yuanyao, who was far away: "Look at this Lord Wei, a weak scholar, he dared to come out alone in the middle of the night, which proves that he has not done anything wrong." ”
Seeing Lu Kang say this, Hongyin didn't say anything, only sighed: "I haven't been to the court for too long, and the ministers of the court and the central government don't know each other, and I don't know if they are loyal or traitorous." There must be many people who privately say that I have self-respect and want to destroy me. ”
"There is no need to worry about this," Lu Kang said, "You are the only one in the DPRK and China, you can ignore everyone's opinion of you, and you don't need to deliberately woo you." If one day even you become scheming, then I really have to despair of this court. ”
Hongyin laughed, patted Lu Kang's shoulder and said, "Okay, with your words, I'll always walk sideways like this." ”
"You're not horizontal, you're acting recklessly." Lu Kang poured wine into her empty wine glass.
Hongyin pursed her lips and took a sip of wine, and said with a smile: "I feel that Wei Yuanyao is not a good official, and it is not all feelings. You see that he drinks in this tavern in the middle of the night, and he doesn't go back to sleep or do things well, what kind of good official can he be? ”
Lu Kang couldn't help laughing and said, "So, we're not good officials anymore?" ”
"I didn't say that I was a good official," Hongyin looked at Lu Kang and said, "I'm just a dog official who ignores the government and is domineering." ”
"The dog officer is popular these days, and I hope that the general will carry him." Lu Kang joked.
"Of course." Hongyin became more and more happy, poured herself another glass of wine, and wanted to salute Lu Kang, but saw Lu Kang's eyes move out of the window again, and said, "Someone is here." ”
