Chapter 1 Entering the Palace

Next Chapter

Xiang Yanzheng was in a daze, his body suddenly flew forward, and with a "bang", he fell to the ground, in severe pain, and there was a burst of laughter in his ears. The pain brought Xiang Yan to his senses and found that he was tied up with a rope. When I looked back again, I saw seven people with shaved foreheads, a braid coiled on the top of their heads, shirtless, wearing only a pair of leather pants, and their whole bodies were greasy, laughing. These seven people all had knotted muscles, black hair on their chests, and they stretched out their hands, all of them with huge fingers.

Xiang Yan was shocked and frightened, and asked, "Who are you?" Why are you arresting me? Da Hanjia struck Yan with a whip on the top of his head and shouted, "Anti-thief, how many accomplices do you have?" Where to hide? Honestly, you can still live. If there is half a lie, you should be punished by the nine tribes. Xiang Yan was stunned, what was he talking about? Why do you say I'm a thief?

Seeing that Xiang Yan didn't answer, Da Hanjia was very angry, and he whipped him again, saying, "Anti-thief, you dare to be hard-mouthed." Da Han Yi said: "Don't fight. Give them to the king, and we will be rewarded. If you kill someone, there is not much reward. The rest of the big men were convinced.

Da Hanjia took the other end of the rope tied to Xiang Yan in his hand, rode a horse and galloped, Xiang Yan couldn't catch up behind him, and was held behind the horse, and was covered in injuries. The big men all laughed. But fortunately, those big men didn't want to kill Yan Yan, and every time they passed a distance, they collected their horses and walked slowly.

Xiang Yan saw those pedestrians wearing strange clothes on the road, with braids on the back of their heads, and he was very puzzled: "Why are these pedestrians dressed up so strangely?" These kidnappers actually walked on the street with themselves, and those pedestrians had no one to rescue them, and no one helped to call the police, but they seemed to be very afraid of these kidnappers. ”

After Xiang Yan ate the thirteenth birthday cake last night, he went to bed. In the middle of the night, I woke up with a pain in my chest. Half an hour later, the pain suddenly increased, Xiang Yan was directly stunned by the pain, and when he woke up, he was tied to this strange place by this group of strange people. Xiang Yan thought about it carefully for a long time, but he still didn't understand how he was kidnapped. Look at the sun again, it's not too early now, have you been dizzy for a long time?

The big men saw a small hotel on the way back, and the big man said, "I'm a little hungry, let's eat something first and go back!" The rest of the people all nodded yes. After the seven people entered, they sat down at two tables, and Xiang Yan stood on the side.

All seven shouted, "Bring the wine, beef and chicken, the sooner the better." The bartender hurriedly replied, "Yes!" Be! He put on his chopsticks and asked, "Guest officer, what kind of food are you eating?" Da Hanjia said angrily: "Are you deaf?" Da Hanjia suddenly reached out, grabbed the bartender's waist, turned his arm up, and lifted him up. The bartender danced with his hands and feet, screaming in fright. Several big men laughed when they saw it. Da Hanjia shook his hand and threw the bartender out of the door. The bartender yelled, "Oh, my mother!" The big men laughed in unison again.

At a table next to him, a child suddenly said loudly, "Hey, big boys, this friend of mine said that he can beat the seven of you alone." Everyone looked at each other in unison, only to see a big man and a child about the same age sitting at the table. Da Han Bing asked, "Little doll, what did you say?" The kid said, "My friend said that you bully the bartender, you are not a hero, and you have a kind of fight with him." Da Hanjia's eyes widened angrily, and he said to the big man: "Bastard, did you say it?"

The big man didn't speak, picked up the wine jug, and smashed it at the big man's armor. Da Hanjia blocked it with his hand, and with an "oops" sound, he called out. Dahan Bing pounced on him, and the big man kicked out, right in the lower abdomen, and Dahan Bing flew straight out when he landed. The other five big men scolded "bastards, bastards" and pounced one after another.

Seeing this, Xiang Yan took the opportunity to slip towards the back hall. Suddenly, a chopstick flew and hit him in the crook of his right leg. Xiang Yan's right leg was numb, he fell to the ground, and he couldn't move anymore. I just kept hearing the sound of someone falling, and I didn't know who won and who lost.

Then I heard an old man's voice say, "You're going to give me medicine again, aren't you trying to kill me?" As long as I take half a cent more of this medicine, it will kill me. Cough...... Cough...... You kid, you're fooling around. Another child's voice said, "The child really doesn't know, and he won't dare in the future." The old man said: "What else is in the future, cough, I don't know how many days I can live."

The child said, "Father-in-law, what are these guys?" I'm afraid it's a thief. The old man said, "You friends, where are the cloth pants?" Dahan Yi said: "If you go back to your father-in-law, we are from Prince Zheng's mansion." We went out hunting today and happened to meet this bandit. was going to take it back to the palace and hand it over to the prince for interrogation, but he didn't expect to meet these two thieves again. If it weren't for my father-in-law who caught these two thieves today, our faces would have been lost. ”

The old man snorted and said, "That'...... That's just a coincidence, ahem...... cough, don't alarm others, just send this man and those two children to the Ouchi Shang Diet Supervisor, and say that it is the person who the old man wants from Hai. Several big men agreed in unison.

Xiang Yan heard what they said, "Father-in-law, Ouchi, Lord", and thought of the strange dress of the people here, and was shocked: "Could it be that I actually arrived in the Qing Dynasty?" Oh, my God! I just slept at home, how did I wake up and go to the Qing Dynasty? The Qing Dynasty has always been known as 'keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head', is it because I didn't shave my hair to be regarded as a thief? And what did that old eunuch do with me in the palace? Is he trying to compete with that prince or does he want me to be a eunuch? Thinking of this, Xiang Yan couldn't help but feel bitter in his heart.

The old eunuch said again: "Why don't you call a sedan chair?" Look at me like this, can I still walk? The little eunuch agreed, and galloped away. I only heard the old eunuch coughing, and heard the child who had provoked the big men scolding: "The old turtle is sick with tuberculosis and has become a fine old turtle...... After a while, the little eunuch walked back and said, "Father-in-law, the sedan chair has arrived." The old eunuch left with a series of coughs.

The big men called a few more sedan chairs, stuffed a piece of cloth in Xiang Yan's mouth, blindfolded him with a black cloth, and put them in the sedan chair and carried them away. Xiang Yan was in the dark in the sedan chair, worried that he would be executed as a thief, and worried about becoming a eunuch, so he went in a mood. Sometimes the sedan chair stopped, and someone interrogated, and the big man outside the sedan always replied: "Shangshan Jianhai's husband called for delivery."

I don't know how long I walked, but suddenly the sedan chair stopped. Da Hanyi's voice came: "The person that Husband Hai wants has been delivered." Then I heard the voice of the little eunuch: "Yes." The sea husband is resting, and he puts people here. Da Han Yi said again: "Let's go back and report to Prince Zheng, and the prince will definitely send someone to thank Hai's husband." The little eunuch said: "Yes, you said that the husband of the sea asked the prince for peace." Da Han Yi said: "Don't dare to be." Someone then picked Xiang Yan down from the sedan chair and put him in the house.

Hearing the footsteps of everyone going away, and hearing a few coughs from the old eunuch, Xiang Yan smelled a very strong smell of medicine. The surroundings were quiet, except for the occasional cough of the old eunuch, there was no other sound. Xiang Yan's hands and feet were tied, his fingers and toes were numb, and he was unspeakably uncomfortable. But the old eunuch seemed to have forgotten about him and ignored him. I had the intention to escape, but the rope was tied very tightly and I couldn't untie it.

After a long time, I heard the old eunuch call softly: "Little Guizi." The little eunuch replied, "Yes!" The old eunuch said, "Untie the three of them, I have something to ask them." The little eunuch said, "Yes!" Xiang Yan heard the sound of "gurgling", and after a while, the ropes on his hands and feet had been cut by knives, and the black cloth on his eyes was also revealed.

When Xiang Yan opened his eyes, he saw that the place where he was was was in a large room. There was little in the room, only a table, a chair, and a teapot and bowl on the table. The old eunuch sat on a chair, half-sitting and half-lying. The cheeks are deep, and the eyes are half-open and half-closed. It was already dark, and there were two candlesticks on the wall, one lit on each. The candlelight flickered brightly on the old eunuch's face.

When the little eunuch took out the cloth in the mouth of the big man and Xiang Yan, and was about to take the cloth in the child's mouth, the old eunuch said, "This child's mouth is not clean, let him stuff it for a while." The little eunuch said, "Yes!" The old eunuch said, "Bring a chair and sit down for him." The little eunuch brought a chair out of the next room and put it at the big man's feet, and the big man sat down. The child next to Dahan sat on the ground, and Xiang Yan stood on the side.

The old eunuch asked Xiang Yan first, "Who are you?" Why isn't my hair shaved? After estimating that he might come to the Qing Dynasty, Xiang Yan began to make up a suitable origin for himself: "My name is Xiang Yan." My grandfather took my family overseas. Three years ago, my grandfather died. My dad said he wanted to return to his roots and take us back to his hometown. As soon as we landed, we were chased and killed, and after a few days of escape, I was captured. ”

The old eunuch nodded and said, "In the Qing Dynasty, you have to shave your hair." The court has a decree, 'keep your head without hair, keep your hair without your head', if you don't shave your hair, of course you will be hunted down. Well, you do one thing for me, I'll shave your hair, and then I'll let you go. Xiang Yan had no choice but to agree.

The old eunuch said to the little eunuch, "Take him to shave his hair and change his clothes." The little eunuch took Xiang Yan to the inner room, which contained a large bed, a small bed, a few boxes and a large vat. The little eunuch opened a box, took out a pair of scissors, and cut off all the hair on Xiang Yan's head. put a hat on Xiang Yan again, tied a fake braid on the back of his head, and took another set of clothes for Xiang Yan to change into.

Xiang Yan was shocked: "Why is the style of this dress exactly the same as the style of the clothes on the little eunuch?" The old eunuch is asking me to be a eunuch? Xiang Yan couldn't help but hesitate for a while, and the little eunuch urged on the side: "Hurry up." Husband Hai is waiting. Xiang had no choice but to change his clothes, and swore in his heart that he would kill the old eunuch tonight.
