Chapter 16: Flower House

On the chariot, the king of the Luo tent held the unconscious Suqin in one hand, and put the other hand on Suqin's shoulder to convey spiritual power to Suqin. Shi Jun, who was outside the chariot, shook the reins with both hands, and six white horses galloped. The chariot was extremely fast, all the way through the city gate, the white horse on the left knocked the sugar seller's shelf on the left, and the pedestrians fled when they saw the rampage. Wherever the chariot passed, chickens flew and dogs jumped, which was very messy. Shi Jun, who was driving the car, didn't have time to study the mess behind him, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth from time to time, his eyes were only locked in the direction of a private residence of the king of Xu, running all the way, and gradually he couldn't care about wiping the blood, he was engrossed in driving the carriage, mouthful after mouthful of blood sprayed in front of him, he coughed, every cough with blood sprayed out, he sat firmly until the chariot arrived at the gate of the palace, he stabilized the chariot, closed his eyes with peace of mind, and the moment he closed his eyes, he plunged to the ground and issued a "knock" Hearing the sound, several guards at the door ran down the stairs, came to the chariot and bowed down and said, "See the prince." The king waved his hand, got out of the chariot with Suqin in his arms, and rushed all the way into the door. Four guards lifted Shi Jun and followed, and one guard led the chariot to the stable. A man in his 30s rushed to the door and saw this scene and instructed a family member next to him: "Quickly summon the doctor king-Zhong Qiansheng." ”

The doctor Zhong Qiansheng trotted all the way to Shi Jun's bed and shook his head vigorously. The housekeeper saw this situation and knew it in his heart, so he said to Zhong Qiansheng: "Senior Zhong, please move to the inner courtyard to help take a look at Miss Suqin." Zhong Qiansheng lifted the medical box, and the housekeeper immediately ordered Jingqiu to take the medical king to the inner courtyard, he paced in the room, thought for a while, and then arranged the funeral for Shi Jun.

Jingqiu trotted all the way to lead the way, and when she arrived at the door of Suqin's room, Jingqiu said to the maidservant at the door: "The doctor king has been brought." The maidservant girl at the door on the left walked quickly into the room, and the voice of the king came from the house: "Please come in." The doctor king carried the medical box into the door, and when he came to Suqin's bed and was about to salute the king by the bed, the king waved his hand and said: "No courtesy, come and see Suqin" The doctor quickly stepped forward to check Suqin's pulse and said: "The meridians are disordered, fortunately you saved her heart, otherwise it would be ineffective with Shi Guard." ”

"Old Zhong, Su Qin will trouble you," said the king of Suqin, got up and left Su Qin's room, and went straight to Shi Jun's room. He stood in front of Shi Jun's bed, covered the futon for him, and said: "Ge Qing, bury Shi Jun well, prepare a sum of money for Shi Jun's wife and children......" "Yes, Lord Wang, I have already ordered it to go down." Ge Qing bowed and replied. King Yu patted Ge Qing on the shoulder and said, "It's reassuring to have you here." I'll go back to the imperial capital first, and let Su Qin stay in this house after waking up, so that Lao Zhong can return to the imperial capital at a fast speed. ”

"Yes, Lord Wang" Ge Qing bowed and exited the door, and after crossing the threshold, he stood up and instructed a housekeeper outside the door: "Inform Li Ran to prepare a chariot and several guards for the king of Xu." "Yes, Mr. Ge. A man dressed as a blue servant replied.

The voice of the king of the king came from inside the house, and he said to Ge Qing outside the door: "Ge Qing, just prepare a horse, no need for an attendant." ”

"Yes, my lord," Ge Qing hurriedly stepped forward to stop the family members dressed as blue servants.

King Xuan stood alone in front of Shi Jun's bed, he seriously recalled all the details of meeting Hua Moyuan, dressed in plain white, using the dual elements - water and wood, and his martial attainments belonged to the upper level, but he didn't understand what kind of exercises the magic qin-like illusion belonged to, maybe only the people of the Hua clan could know. Thinking of this, he walked out of Shi Jun's door, repaired a letter and returned to the imperial capital, and asked the housekeeper Gao Yuchen to investigate the Hua clan, and explained his doubts about Hua Mo's use of exercises, etc., and asked him to investigate it as soon as possible.

In the quiet night, he rode a white horse prepared for him by Ge Qing all the way to find the traces of Hua Moxi, and from time to time he remembered Kang Kexin's words. He looked at the plaque with the word "Xuncheng" hanging high on the city gate, the city gate was closed at this time, he raised his waist card to the soldiers on the city gate, and the soldiers under the city gate hurriedly opened a crack and ran out of the city gate, took the waist card and looked at it, and immediately knelt down and said: "I don't know that it is the king of the servant who has arrived, how offended." After the kneeling soldier finished speaking, he knelt and turned to the soldier at the city gate to open the door, and the city gate opened, and the king asked a soldier guarding the gate to take him to Hua's house.

The soldier guarding the door rode a horse and came to a stop not far from the Hua family, and the soldier pointed to the flower house not far away and said, "Lord Wang, that place is Hua Qianfeng's mansion." ”

"Stand down. The king commanded. King Yu found an inn nearby and asked for a first-class room with a view of the gate of the Hua family. He sat by the window, drinking and looking at the door of the flower house. A brown gate, the golden paulownia door buckle is a pair of lions with a ring in the mouth, two stone lions outside the door, the red wall courtyard is high enclosed, compared to the surrounding shops, it looks a little depressed. At night, he saw a black shadow enter the flower house, followed by several black shadows into the flower house, and after a long time, the black shadows jumped out of the flower house. He clattered the bottle aside, got up and said to himself, "I'm going to join in the fun." After a few leaps, he had reached the roof of the Flower House, and the night was quiet, and the whole Flower House had fallen asleep. In the dark, he made a few leaps back to the inn and drank alone by the moonlight.

The next day, the shouting of the vendors in the morning market woke up the king by the window, he opened his sleepy eyes, and saw a young woman and an old woman getting into the carriage from the flower house, and several attendants followed a young man out of the flower house, and after a while a maid carried a basket and lowered her head and hid her face quietly out of the flower house, turning back from time to time while walking. Soon after the maid left, a carriage stopped in front of the flower house, and the man who drove the carriage jumped out of the carriage and moved out of the stool. The corners of the king's mouth raised into a smile, as if he had found his prey.

The three men in the carriage went up the stairs and waited outside the gate of the flower house to be announced. Hua Mowei always wore a cloak, buried her head very low, stood motionless, Kang Zhenhua held a long sword, leaning on the stone pillar in front of the door. Kang Kexin was lively like a rabbit, touching the stone lion for a while, touching the stone pillar for a while, she poked her head, touched the lion's head door buckle on the door and said: "Brother, you see this is the door buckle, compared to our door bolt, it is really magnificent, you see there is also a buckle." As she spoke, she tugged at the ring in the lion's mouth, and the ring and the lion's door buckle made a "..... sound". Attracted the attendants in the courtyard to stop. "Yo, I've kept my sister waiting. Before anyone heard his voice, Kang Kexin followed the direction of the sound and saw the woman, who was about the same age as Kang Kexin, dressed in a red robe, wearing a blue butterfly gold hosta, wearing a crystal gold bead on her neck, and a gold ball sachet around her waist. The woman stepped on broken steps and came to the door and called to Kang Kexin: "Sister Xiao, I am sister-in-law Jin Pingchuan." ”

"Sister-in-law of the Hua family, I am Kang Kexin, and my cousin is there. ”

Jin Pingchuan's eyes looked at Hua Mochuan in the direction of Kang Kexin's fingers, Hua Moxiao raised her eyelids and looked at Jin Pingchuan who was walking towards her, she involuntarily took a step back, feeling a hot meat shield behind her, vigilant she took a step forward, her toes were pulled back by the man before she touched the ground, she fell into the man's arms fiercely with her unbalanced, she raised her head and saw that the face of the king was close at hand. She pushed her away, stood firm and said, "The assassination last night was unsuccessful, is this going to be done in person?"

"Is this like this kind of person?" the king guessed when he recalled what he had seen last night. He shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "Everyone knows that I, Zhao Yuyu, am a well-known flower lover, so how could I break my favorite flowers?"

Hua Mo looked at the king vigilantly, she wasn't sure if his words were true or false, if it wasn't him, who would it be? She shook her head, clueless.

Kang Kexin and her brother Kang Zhenhua immediately saluted to King Yu, Jin Pingchuan looked at the man in front of him who called himself Zhao Yuyu, dressed in a black wide-sleeved suit, embroidered with red cloud brocade, not a palace dress, she was hesitating whether to salute or not, she was already "surrounded" when she thought about it, and there were several neat rows of troops standing on the street in front of the flower house. A man in the armor of a general stepped forward and kowtowed: "Lord Wang, the last general heard the urgent report of the guards waiting for Germany early in the morning, you have arrived in Xuncheng last night to ......" and "Teng" many voices, Jin Pingchuan and the attendants around him also knelt down on their knees one by one, frightened of the anger of the king.

"Stand down!" interrupted the general.

"Yes" the general retreated.
