Chapter 5 Negotiations

The next day, the person who came to call Wei Xiaobao to gamble yesterday came to call Wei Xiaobao to gamble again, and Xiang Yan and Wei Xiaobao went out together. The man was stunned for a moment and said, "This brother, did you also go gambling with Xiao Guizi?" Xiang Yan smiled: "I don't know how to gamble, I'll go and see." Husband Hai has something to tell Xiao Guizi to let me help Xiao Guizi. "I heard that Xiang Yan didn't gamble, so the man stopped talking to Xiang Yan.

After gambling, on the way to find Kangxi to fight together, Wei Xiaobao took the initiative to speak: "Xiao Xiangzi......" Xiang Yan interrupted Wei Xiaobao's words and said: "Don't call me Xiao Xiangzi, call me Xiao Yan." Wei Xiaobao said: "Xiaoyan, my name is Xiaobao. The day before yesterday, when Brother Mao left, he originally planned to ask you to go with him, but you were stupid at the time, and Brother Mao was ordered by her husband to move his legs, so he couldn't pull you, so he had to go alone. Xiang Zi sighed.

Wei Xiaobao said: "Do you have any plans?" Xiang Yan said: "Of course, I was looking for an opportunity to kill the old eunuch and then escape from the palace." Wei Xiaobao asked, "But what about the poison you have?" Xiang Yan said angrily: "He didn't intend to let me live, and if I don't kill him, he won't detoxify me." He said, "If he hadn't asked me to help you fight, I'm afraid I'd have died today." Wei Xiaobao was silent.

Xiang Yan asked Wei Xiaobao rhetorically: "Xiaobao, wasn't Xiao Guizi killed by you?" How did you become a little guizi? Wei Xiaobao said: "After I killed Xiao Guizi the day before yesterday, my husband suddenly shouted Xiao Guizi's name. At that time, I thought that if my husband found out that Xiao Guizi was dead, he would definitely make a noise, and if he brought one of the guards to round us up, we would be in trouble. So I pretended to be Xiao Guizi to delay time, let Brother Mao go first, and then I was looking for a chance to escape, but I haven't found a chance to escape until now. ”

Xiang Yan nodded and asked, "Xiaobao, did you say that the old eunuch found out that you are a fake little Guizi?" Wei Xiaobao hesitated and said, "There shouldn't be!" Otherwise, why didn't he make a statement? Xiang Yan smiled: "You and Xiao Guizi's accents are completely different, do you think the old eunuch really can't hear it?" No matter what the old eunuch asks you to do, you don't know anything, do you really think the old eunuch can't find out that you are a fake little Guizi? ”

Wei Xiaobao hesitated and said, "Then why didn't he make a noise?" After thinking for a while, he suddenly said: ""The Forty-two Chapters Sutra, the old eunuch must not demolish me for the sake of the Forty-two Chapters Sutra." Xiang Yan asked, "The Forty-two Chapters? The old eunuch also asked me to steal the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", it seems that this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" is very important to the old eunuch. It's just that the old eunuch obviously asked you to steal the scriptures, why did he let you gamble? ”

"The old eunuch also asked Wei Xiaobao to find the "Forty-two Chapters Sutra", it seems that this "Forty-two Chapters Sutra" is a scripture with a treasure map." Thinking of the treasure, Xiang Yan's heart was pounding: "It's just that there seem to be several scriptures with treasure maps, where are these scriptures?" Alas, forgot. Xiang Yan knocked his head in annoyance.

Wei Xiaobao said: "The Forty-two Chapters of the Sutra is in the upper study. Do you know about the study? It was the emperor's study, not something that ordinary people could enter. The Wen brothers were on an errand in the upper study, and the old eunuch asked me to deliberately lend them money, and when they couldn't pay back the money, he threatened them and asked them to take me to the upper study to steal books. ”

After waiting for a while, Wei Xiaobao said again: "Xiao Guizi has been gambling for several months, but the money he lent to the Wen brothers is still not much. If the old eunuch debunked that I was a fake little Guizi, then the money that the real little Guizi lent to the Wen brothers was a trivial matter, and the old eunuch had to spend several months to lend money to the Wen brothers, which was a waste of time, but it was a big deal. It just so happened that I was pretending to be Xiao Guizi, and the old eunuch asked me to steal the book instead of Xiao Guizi. ”

Xiang Yan said: "There is another question, since the old eunuch knows that you are a fake little Guizi, then he must also know that you poisoned his eyes, but he asked you to help steal the book before temporarily letting you go." But you can't steal books in a day or two, and the old eunuch's health is really bad, maybe he will die one day. What if you haven't stolen the book and he dies early? He won't avenge you for poisoning his eyes and letting you live in the palace as a little Guizi? ”

Wei Xiaobao was very angry, gritted his teeth and said, "The soup is poisonous." If I hadn't stolen the book and the old eunuch had died early, the poisonous soup would have avenged him and killed me. I said why the old eunuch cared so much about whether I drank soup or not, it turned out to be the case. ”

Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan had their own concerns, and they hurried silently all the way. Xiang Yan couldn't stand the silence and asked Wei Xiaobao, "Xiaobao, who asked you to fight?" Wei Xiaobao was in a bad mood, and reluctantly replied: "It's Xiao Xuanzi, you'll see him later."

The two came to the hut where they competed with Kangxi, and after pushing the door in, they saw many plates of dim sum on the table. At noon, Xiang Yan himself was hungry and unhappy, so when he saw Wei Xiaobao unceremoniously grabbing a snack and sending it to his mouth, he also picked up a piece of snack and bit it viciously as an old eunuch. After eating a few bites, he glanced at Wei Xiaobao and put his mind at ease.

Wei Xiaobao and Xiang Yan ate a few pieces of snacks, and suddenly heard footsteps outside the door, Wei Xiaobao hurriedly pulled Xiang Yan and went under the table. But I heard someone shouting outside the door: "Little Guizi, Little Guizi." Wei Xiaobao immediately jumped up, ran to the door, and said with a smile: "Death date, see you or leave." The man outside the door also smiled: "Haha, a dead date, see you or leave."
