Chapter Twenty-Nine: This Game Doesn't Count

"Oh, Sister Huang, what are you panicking about, you want to know whether Expediency is dead or alive now, and how much do you know about the assassin to lure her out?" Quan Feifei patted the back of her hand, relieved, and didn't forget to roll her eyes.

"Draw it out? What does my sister have in mind?" Quan Wenjin seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and looked at Quan Feifei in surprise.

"Oh, Sister Huang, expedient is humble in her bones, the day after tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, the palace will hold a big event every year, and there are also archery competitions for the nobles in Beijing, if she doesn't come to the Midyear Festival, she will be rude in front of her father, she doesn't dare!"

"When she comes, we will invite her to compete together, as long as she has not seen the world, she will definitely show timidity, and we will do something from it to ensure that she can't say a word!" Quan Feifei chuckled viciously, and his tone was light, as if it was not a human life.

"Sixth sister is a good plan!" Quan Wenjin praised without hesitation.

Quan Yan stood aside, unable to melt in. Quan Wenjin took her hand when he saw it, "If the fifth sister has this sad face again, she will get old!" ”

"Sister Huang......" Quan Yan called out and didn't say the words later, Quan Wenjin understood what she meant.

"Okay, it's all over, and you don't have to blame yourself!"

Ningcheng.

Ji Fu and Yun Yi took the two of them into the palace early in the morning

Cheng, I don't know where to get a regular clothes, the four of them wandered to the west city where Yun Yi inquired, stopped in front of a stall, and asked for four bowls of noodles and a pot of tea.

Somehow, the nearest city at the foot of the Son of Heaven was so depressed and cold, many refugees were displaced along the way, begging along the street on the road, and the shops in the city were also depressed, but the West Street where they were located was a little prosperous.

In the tea room, Ji Fu's eyes did not leave this street and alley, Yun Yi poured him tea, and did not forget to report.

"Master, this is West Street, it is said that there are a lot of fish and dragons here, and there is a gambling house opened by Wang Ke!"

"Is the message exact?"

"Don't worry, our people are already ambushed around here, and we all know what he is doing!"

"Noodles!"

The noodle stall owner shouted, put two bowls of noodles on the table, and the children on the side also brought two bowls of noodles.

Ji Fu gave him a look, Yun Yi immediately understood, and took out a silver ingot from his arms, "Boss, ask about something!" ”

"Yo, guest officer, you are too polite, I don't know what you want to inquire about?" The boss said as he took the silver back into his arms.

"We came all the way from the city gate, there seems to be some depression in this city, but this Ningcheng is located at the foot of the Son of Heaven, what Bianjing has, Ningcheng will also have, how to ......"

"Whew!" The boss sighed, his face was full of sadness, "Guest officer, you are a foreigner, I don't know that this Ningcheng County Order and the owner of the gambling house in this city are reconciled, and the people in this city are not happy, the moat bridge to be built in Ningcheng a few years ago collapsed, and the capital allocated silver money but there is nothing here, and the county order ordered each family to collect money and collect grain, arrest men, and many people have been displaced to become such a situation!" The owner of the noodle stall scolded the county order in pain, but was pulled by the second child next to him and refused to mention it again.

"If there is such a thing, then dare to ask the boss where the gambling house is?"

The boss glanced at a few of them, "You don't want to go!" I advise you to be old, the gambling house is a gambler, and the person who goes in is not bankrupt! ”

"It's okay, we just go in and take a look, the boss doesn't have to worry."

"Forget it, you, go along this road, turn right at the end of the road and then go to the Yongshun Inn at the end!" The boss couldn't persuade him, so he didn't say anything, so he could only point out the route to a few people.

"Thank you, boss!" Yun nodded in thanks.

"Let's eat, and we'll go and see what kind of scenery this biggest underground gambling house is like later!" Ji Fu beckoned, he took a bite of noodles first, and the other three people also immediately moved their chopsticks, last night's food and sleeping in the open, not eating and sleeping well, this noodles are also hot, and they can finally warm their stomachs.

Hua Xiaoliu and Bai Manqing went back to Wanhumen early in the morning, and seeing that the two were still dozing, Yun Ran thought about letting the two rest.

"I'll go back to Wankelou directly, if the princess has something, send someone to find me immediately!" Hua Xiaoliu yawned, briefly explained a few words and left.

"Is the princess's injury serious?"

"Don't worry, although the wound is deep, it has not hurt the heart and lungs, now you only need to recuperate, and you can't let others in the palace find out, I and Xiaoliu have to go to the vigil tonight!" Bai Manqing said and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Then you go and rest, there is me!"

Xiaohe took a rag to help Quan Yiyi wipe her body, and finally drank a few mouthfuls of porridge for lunch, and she didn't have a high fever, which made her feel relieved.

"Xiaohe, the concubine is here!" Ah Xiu pushed open the door and poked his head out.

Xiaohe immediately got up to greet him, "The slave has seen the concubine!" ”

"Excuse me, what's wrong with Xiao Qi? The white girl and the flower doctor are out of the palace?" Ning Rong walked quickly to the expedient couch and sat down, picked up the hand towel that Xiaohe threw in the basin, wrung out the water, and helped me wipe my hands.

"Doctor Hua has ordered, now you just need to recuperate, the princess is so sleepy is caused by the medicine, she has ordered the medicine, and she has already boiled up." Xiaohe carefully reported Hua Xiaoliu's instructions.

"That's fine, you two have also worked hard, you can go down and rest after the medicine is ready!" Concubine Li turned her head and instructed the two of them with great relief.

"Niangniang, the slaves and maids are not tired, as long as the princess is good and the slaves and maids are good!"

"The day after tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, Qin Tianjian has seen the heavenly phase all over and told me, this palace may not be lively for a long time, I think if I want to re-hold the riding and shooting today, or show my Dadu Erlang style, what do you think?"

Quan Duo rubbed the handle of the dragon chair and looked at the ministers and asked.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks this move is very good, the Dadu Dynasty was originally obtained on horseback, and it is really not appropriate to leave behind such a fine tradition, by the way, you can also see if there are any usable materials in this Jingzhong Erlang!" The Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward to admonish, coaxing Quan Duo to nod again and again!

"The minister also thinks it should be done, there has been no good thing in Beijing for a long time, just take advantage of the Midyear Festival to find a celebratory atmosphere!" The ministers on the side also agreed to this proposal.

"Then it was decided, and this matter was handed over to the Ministry of Rites to deal with, why didn't I see Shuo Fenghou today!" Quan Duo looked around, didn't see Ji Fu's shadow, and couldn't help but wonder.

"Your Majesty, this morning someone from Wanhu came to report that the fugitive from Jiang Gonghai's case a year ago recently appeared in Ningcheng, and the situation was urgent, and he was negligent a year ago, and Shuofeng Hou didn't dare to delay personally taking people to Ningcheng to arrest the fugitive! I didn't have time to report to Your Majesty, so I asked the old minister to tell you on my behalf! Shen Zicheng stepped forward and walked to the front of the hall and told Ji Fu's entrustment to Quan Duo.

"I see, then I won't wait for him, Yu Xin, the safety of this feast will be handled by you!" Quan Duo looked at Yusin not far away.

You Xin was still immersed in the good news that Ji Fu was not in the capital, and was suddenly called by Quan Duo, and immediately came back to his senses and bowed his head with fists.

"Yes, the minister obeys the holy decree!"

After dispersing, the three or two ministers retreated together, and Yu Xin walked to the palace gate, and I don't know what I thought, I turned back to the path on the right and walked forward.

He didn't stop all the way, and when he arrived at Jinghe Palace, it happened that Shu Guifei's mother and daughter were drinking tea, and when she saw him coming, Shu Guifei was also happy to let people sit on the tea immediately.

"How can a busy person come to me today, sit and talk with me!" Concubine Shu greeted You Xin, who was dressed in an official uniform.

"Sister, it's my fault that I didn't come to see you, that brother will come to see my sister every day in the future!"

"I dare to blame you, I know you're busy. But you will not sit with me today, but there is something going on in the palace. ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the day after tomorrow, in the middle of the Yuan Festival, His Majesty will start the Ministry of Rites to re-operate horseback riding and archery, and my brother is here to be with my sister Lala, our sister and brother may not have been like this for a long time." You Xin told Concubine Shu about the emperor's arrangements this morning, and brought up the topic of sisters and brothers.

Quan Feifei behind him seemed to have thought of something, and his narrow eyes revealed a touch of calculation.

Ji Fu and a few people ate noodles, quit the noodle stall owner, and then went to the Yongshun Inn he said. The inn is a pretense, afraid that the government will check it, but in fact, it has long been ventilated with it.

There is only a small guy at the counter in the inn, and he is crawling on the counter to take a nap at this time.

"Knock knock!" Yun Yi glanced at the counter a few times, spared the little guy's clear dream, and the little guy stretched his waist impatiently.

"Don't do business, let's go!"

"The door of your inn is open, not doing business?" Yun Yi chuckled, a little puzzled.

"I said I wouldn't do it......," the little guy scolded, and the next moment, a dagger was pressed against his neck, "Then we won't do business, let's have fun." ”

The little guy was still a little sleepy-eyed, until his neck was cold and he immediately woke up, "Master, don't be excited, the little one will take you there!" ”

The servant led the two down the stairs to the basement, which was brightly lit, smoky and accompanied by various shouts.

The little servant lifted the curtain and asked the two of them to wait for him in front of the door. The underground is unusually wide, and there are good writing tables, each with a few dozen people. It seemed that the arrival of the three of them attracted the attention of the rest of the room, and each looked at Ji Fu and the others with unmeaning eyes.

The servant walked through several tables, and at last he reached the largest table, led by a bearded man shouting, looking extremely fierce, and whispering in his ear for a while, and he raised his eyes to the door.

"Second master, please come here!" The little guy beckoned to the two, and Ji Fu and Yun glanced at each other and walked towards the main table.

The table next to him continued to shout again, and the bearded man played with a few sieves and glanced at the two of them.

"It's not a local, it's looking at the noodles! How do you know about my place! ”

"The name of Yongshun Inn hit us as soon as we entered the city, and when we walked to the store, we said that we would not do business, so the strangeness was naturally clear at a glance!" Ji Fu glanced around and flattered him.

"How do you want to play, I'm in a good mood today, I'll play with you twice!" The bearded man seemed to be in a good mood.

"See how the boss plays? We're here to help! ”

"Good! There is a kind of, it's not interesting to bet big and small, it's better for us to play some exciting today, guess the numbers, if I lose, I'll give it all to you on the table! If you lose, I want that jade pendant on your waist! The beard pointed at Ji Fu's waist, and Ji Fu lowered his head and snorted softly.

"Good!"

The little guy on the side put five sieves into the dice Gu, and then there was a shaking and only to hear the dice Gu fall on the table, Ji Fu and Luo Hu glanced at each other.

"See you're new here, let you go first!" The beard was extremely generous and let Ji Fu come first.

"One, two, four, five, six." Ji Fu didn't say anything polite to him, and reported the numbers based on what he heard just now.

The beard sneered, and stretched out his hand to prop himself on the table, "Two, three, four, five, six, dare to open?" He raised his eyebrows defiantly.

Ji Fu shrugged his shoulders and made a gesture of please!

The beard made his eyes look at it, and the little guy untied the dice Gu, one, two, four, five, six.

The beard seemed to be a little unexpected, and glared at the little guy on the side, and the little guy also bowed his head weakly and didn't dare to look at him.

Ji Fu looked at the two of them coldly, this little guy did something just now, which made him realize that he just shook the table slightly and changed the number of the sieve to guess by himself.

"This game doesn't count, just admit it, go on!" Ji Fu opened his mouth and said that this game was a practice.

"Not necessarily! Do what you say, so as not to make people think that Lao Tzu is not a good talker. The beard immediately refused.

Ji Fu nodded, picked up the dice cup, played with it, pressed it lightly at the bottom of the dice, and poured out another five sieves in his hand, "The boss's family has a big business and keeps his promises, but the hands and feet of this subordinate seem to be a little unclean!" ”

The beard was torn apart in public, and he wiped his face, and his face immediately couldn't hang up, and he grabbed the little guy on the side and punched him, "Damn bastard, who let you do this!" ”

Ji Fu lost the sieve and was about to leave, but at this time another person came in outside the door, with wet hands, with a smile on his face, and a half-inch scar under his right eye, this person was Wang Ke, he saw that the beard was teaching people, and was about to ask out loud, his eyes met Ji Fu's, and his eyes glared, "Run, he was sent by the imperial court!" ”
