"Hurry, be careful!" In the darkness, a voice came from inside the house, and because it was too low, it made the sound very similar to that of a duck.

In the hazy moonlight, the group, like a group of returning ants, carried it in their hands, and when they reached the river, they handed the objects in their hands to their companions on the boat.

"Coo-goo, goo-goo."

A few sub-rules cries came, and these "ants" stopped in place one after another, the box in their hands was erected on the ground, and their bodies leaned against the box.

In the distance, two fires gradually moved from west to east, and one from east to west, moving in opposite directions, intersecting with this place.

"Is there any situation over there?" A human voice emerged from the ship.

"No, I haven't seen anyone in three turns, so I should have been arrested." One of the people on the boat opposite replied.

"There is no movement on the side of the political envoy Si Yamen, so hurry back to resume your life after the transfer." The man said.

Then his eyes were deflected, the torch in his hand was high above his head, and he asked a little puzzled: "Do you think the location of the boxes on the road is different?" ”

For a while, the other torch was also raised, and after a while, he said casually: "There are still people working in the middle of the night?" You must be reading it wrong. ”

"Hey, maybe I've been looking for a thief all night, I'm dazzled! But this family is really not long-sighted, boxes are piled up on the side of the road, doesn't that delay people walking! ”

"Why don't you go up and have a look? If there's anything valuable, you're caught! ”

Hearing this, the snow-white dagger slipped from the hands of the black-clothed man on the shore, and the muscles in his body were already tense.

"Okay, okay, even if it's a valuable thing, aren't you afraid to give you a royal execution directly after you take it? Then Master Dong doesn't tell you about human feelings! Hurry up and patrol, I'm going back to my life, and I guess I'll have to stay in the prison and mass graves for the next two days. ”

"We people, this is the fate, you are going to be a big official, you are also lying in the yamen, I can bring you tea and pour water every day."

"you!"

The sound gradually faded away, and the tense heartstrings of the man in black were loosened, and the duck throat in the room sounded again.

"Faster! It was almost dawn, and when they had their hands free, they couldn't leave. ”

When the "ants" heard this, their leg movements increased significantly, and a man in black may have been in a hurry, stumbling on his left leg and his right leg tripping himself to the ground, and the wooden box in his hand fell to the ground.

There was a crisp sound, and a silvery white glow shimmered in the moonlight.

"Idiot!" The duck scolded angrily, but did not attack at this time, but quickly ordered: "Hurry up and pick it up, and the rest of the people continue to work!" ”

The man in black who fell to the ground hurriedly swept the silver ingots of different sizes into the box, but because some of the silver nuggets were cut too small, he couldn't quickly distinguish the difference between the silver nuggets and the stones on the ground in the dark night, and after a long time, his eyes were already full of panic.

The duck's voice was in his eyes, and a nameless anger burned to the top of his head, and he yelled at the man in black on the ground: "If you don't hurry up, I'll throw you into the river to feed the fish!" ”

Then he realized that his voice was too high, so he hurriedly lowered his voice and said viciously: "Give you ten breaths of time, and if you can't finish picking it up, you can jump in by yourself!" ”

The man in black didn't dare to answer, so he could only speed up the movement in his hand, silently counting in his heart, and frantically swept the ground, regardless of the stone cut by his hand, and the warm liquid flowed out of the wound.

Three, two, one!

Just as the duck's throat and eyes were fixed on the man in black, the man finally got up and bent down to him.

"Humph!" The duck snorted coldly and did not pursue it further.

After more than ten times of rotation of boats in the river, the duck throat finally walked out of the house, walked out with broken steps, passed by the place where the silver money was spilled, looked at it again a few times, and made sure that there was no silver nugget left, and then carefully walked to the river, jumped onto the deck, and quietly sailed towards the opposite bank.

In the distance, there was a rooster crowing, and a white line appeared in the sky, just hitting the signboard at the eaves: Huitong Qianzhuang.

The location of Huitong Qianzhuang and Zeng Hui's house are on the same side of the riverbank, the war is coming to an end, the soldiers in the city and Huang Xiaoqi are all gathered near the Yamen of the political envoy, and the Jinyi guard who is watching at the gate of Qianzhuang is naturally going back to protect Zhu Qi Town.

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, Huang Xiaoqi has been ambushed." Xiang Wenyao, the political envoy of Guangdong, was overjoyed, rushed into the gatehouse, and reported the good news to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen's face was a little pale, but when he heard this, there was still a strong joy in his eyebrows and eyes, and Xiang Wenyao, who was watching it, was very relieved.

"Really? And what about the casualties of our army? Ahem......" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"The emperor suffered from the wind chill at night? Now go to the best doctor in the city to treat you! Xiang Wenyao hurriedly offered his courtesy.

"No, no, ahem. What kind of doctor are you looking for? Xiong Zongli is by his side, just wait for me to find him to prescribe medicine, don't bother the people. Zhu Qizhen said.

Xiang Wenyao immediately nodded and said, "That's, that's!" With Doctor Xiong here, no matter how clever the doctor in this city is, he will become a quack! The minister is going to find Doctor Xiong! ”

Zhu Qizhen smiled, stopped Xiang Wenyao, who was about to go out, and even said a little coquettishly in his tone: "Okay, okay, people are outside, don't worry, I know your mind, and I also understand your helplessness in the face of such a Diao people, and I will say later about the treatment of the disease, you will soon talk about the casualties of the soldiers, they are the cornerstone of the imperial court, and you can't treat the soldiers badly." ”

Xiang Wenyao knelt on the ground and said in a choked voice: "Your Majesty, it is the incompetence of the ministers that makes you frightened by this kind of people, and it is the incompetence of the ministers." ”

"I'm okay, they're all feudal officials, why are they still like children? Get up and talk to me about business. ”

Xiang Wenyao wiped away a handful of tears at this time, but still stubbornly knelt in the same place and said: "Qiqi Sheng, thanks to the lives of the soldiers, this time a total of 2,000 enemies were annihilated, 10,000 were captured alive, and only a small group of anti-thieves took advantage of the chaos to escape. Our army lost 300 dead and 800 wounded, which can be regarded as a great victory. ”

"Ahem, ahem!"

I really put gold on my face, and I won a big victory, the army beat the people, and 300 people were killed and 800 were injured, I pity the people who were used, I will definitely avenge you!

Zhu Qizhen, who was holding back his anger in his heart, couldn't help but cough again when he heard Xiang Wenyao's shameless remarks.

"Okay, you just don't move, I'm fine, my body knows by itself, don't make such a fuss." Seeing that Xiang Wenyao wanted to step forward again to offer his courtesy, Zhu Qizhen's disgust was almost not suppressed.

However, with a slightly impatient tone, Xiang Wenyao was completely reassured, after all, the emperor was too polite to his courtiers,

It also makes people's hearts hairy, doesn't it? This is an unexpected joy brought by the too shallow city of Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen, who consciously stabilized Xiang Wenyao, raised his arm, pointed at Zeng Hui and Yin Bo and said, "The two of them are talented, and you are blessed as a political envoy." ”

Xiang Wenyao was stunned for a moment, glanced at it with his eyes lowered, and originally thought that these two stunned young men would talk nonsense in front of the emperor, but he didn't expect the emperor to say so.

Did they just say nice things about me? Want to please me? Otherwise, I can't explain why the emperor suddenly has such a big change in his attitude towards me! For me, these two people have finally opened their minds?

Xiang Wenyao's thoughts were full of thoughts, but he did not delay his gratitude and flattery, "What the emperor said is very true, Zeng Hui and Yin Bo are both from Jinshi, and they have rich experience in entering the office, and they are proficient in both large and small problems, which is the blessing of Guangdong and the blessing of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

Zhu Qizhen also nodded in agreement with this sentence, and turned to Xiang Wenyao and said: "I am not feeling well, just let Geng Jiuchou and Wang Hong continue to do what they should do, and I will go back to rest first." By the way, after all, the people are being instigated by others, and it is okay to grasp the big and let go of the small, and they must not raise a big prison and cause any chaos. ”

After speaking, Zhu Qizhen coughed and left the gatehouse, Jin Qi had been waiting outside for a long time, and when he saw Zhu Qizhen coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the master and servant took the brocade guard and gradually moved away from the messy battlefield periphery.

Xiang Wenyao had a smile on his face, and said to Zeng Hui and Yin Bo with a smug face: "The emperor is really a saint!" However, thanks to the help of the two foils, in the future of Guangdong officialdom, you young and promising new jinshi will be even more needed! ”

Both of them bent down and saluted, especially Zeng Hui's face did not appear again, Xiang Wenyao, who hated Qing Gao the most in the past, said: "The subordinates just told the truth, they are all emperors and saints, and they have seen the achievements made by the lord of the domain, and they will still rely on the support of the lord of the domain in the future!" ”

Xiang Wenyao waved his hand in high spirits and said: "What kind of promotion is not carried out, it is all for the imperial court, as long as you do it well, you will be appreciated by the Lord of Long Live Lord, let alone add officials to the knighthood." ”

No anti-theft

"Master Xie." The two of them saluted again.

Xiang Wenyao took a big stride, humming an unknown song in his throat, and left the porter first. Zeng Hui and Yin Bo glanced at each other, and couldn't help but sneer, you just jump, you won't be able to laugh right away.

"Hey, Imperial Doctor Xiong, the emperor is unwell, why didn't you follow him for diagnosis and treatment? Long live the body is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty, so I can't be careless. ”

Xiong Zongli was checking the injuries of the people, and when he heard this, he didn't raise his head and said: "Don't bother with the lord, the lower officials have already prescribed a prescription for the emperor, so the lord is still busy with his own affairs." ”

touched a nail that was neither soft nor hard, Xiang Wenyao was not angry, the people around the emperor, if they don't have a good relationship, they can't be offended, what is there to listen to two hard words? said goodbye to Xiong Zongli at the moment, and found Li Mao refreshed.

"Lord Xiang, where are you?" Seeing Xiang Wenyao's appearance, Li Mao was quite puzzled, why was he still like a dead mother just now, and immediately became the appearance of marrying a little wife?

Xiang Wenyao smiled and said, "Go to the Yamen of the Sho Si to talk in detail." ”

According to the Yamen of the Inspectorate Division, referred to as the Yamen of the Division, after Zhu Qizhen occupied the Yamen of the Political Envoy Division, Xiang Wenyao moved here to live temporarily, the two Yamen were not far away, next to each other, Li Mao and the two of them joined hands and turned into the compound of the Yamen, leaving a mess for his subordinates to clean up, and the screams at the door of the Political Envoy Division's Yamen were endless.
