Chapter 2: Misfortune Comes from Love (3)
Zizhu coughed lightly and said, "I came to Xu Kuang on the order of Princess Tiantai, and those who know each other hurry up and lead me to meet, otherwise, hum!" Those guards had obviously suffered the loss of Princess Tiantai, and when they heard her name, their faces turned pale, and they hurriedly said: "Lord Xu will meet guests in the hall, and the little ones will go to spread the word." Zizhu said: "No need, I'll go find him." "How dare those guards fence her, they can only watch her swagger into the Xu Mansion.
Zizhu saw Xu Kuang sitting in the hall from a distance to accompany the guests. She strode to the entrance of the hall and shouted, "Lord Xu! Xu Kuang was talking to the guests, and suddenly heard someone calling him, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a girl who looked like a maid, and he didn't know it, so he was quite puzzled. But seeing that she can break into the house and treat the guards outside the door as nothing, she must have a great background. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I don't know why the girl is here?" ”
Zizhu looked Xu Kuang up and down and asked, "You are Xu Kuang?" Xu Kuang was called by a woman's name in person, and he was extremely rude and a little annoyed. It's just that I don't know where the one who comes is sacred, so he said angrily: "It's down there." Zizhu said secretly: Xu Kuang looks like a talent, gentle and elegant, and he is behind the door, which just matches my master. It's a pity that she was favored by the Tiansha Tiantai princess. Hum! Don't think that if you look like a gentleman, I'll be polite to you.
If it weren't for you, my master would have been humiliated. Since I can't find the princess's bad luck, I have to take out my anger on you. Zizhu immediately glared sideways, pointed at the tip of Xu Kuang's nose, and said angrily: "Princess Tiantai has taken a fancy to you, it is your blessing. You don't know what to do, you live up to the princess's affection, you are guilty! Xu Kuang heard her say Princess Tiantai, thinking that Zizhu was sent by Princess Tiantai to train him, and he was so frightened that he resigned.
Zizhu said again: "Even if you refuse the princess, why do you pull our master into the water." caused our master to be punished by the princess, but you are still not human. I think you're a big bastard! Xu Kuang was stunned and said, "Who is the master of your family?" Zizhu said: "It's not the Huaishu County Lord you think about all day, I don't know if it's right?" ”
Xu Kuang heard the name of the county lord of Huaishu, and there was a look of joy on his face. He asked, "Is your master okay?" Zizhu said: "Good two farts, it's not that you've been harmed." Xu Kuang said with an innocent face: "How can I harm the county lord?" Zizhu said: "Why didn't you hurt her, you obviously knew that Princess Tiantai wanted to marry Qin Jinzhi, but you talked about our master every day, and now that it has reached the ears of the princess, of course she will not give up, and find our master and humiliate her." You are here to wander in good place, and our master is innocently disgraced. You say you are not a sinful person. ”
Xu Kuang frowned and said: "The princess has made the chickens and dogs restless in my mansion, why do you want to anger the county lord." I am the county lord, I will go to the princess to seek justice, and I will never wronged the county lord. Saying that, he resolutely walked out, Zizhu stopped Xu Kuang in fright, and said, "Are you satisfied if you want to kill our master?" Xu Kuang was puzzled: "I am complaining for your master, why should I harm her." ”
Zizhu shook his head and said, "I don't know if you're true or not." When you go, Princess Tiantai thought that it was my master who complained to you, and what she didn't have became confusing. Princess Tiantai loves you and pities you, she will not do anything to you, she is not a good man and a woman, she must vent all her anger on my master. It's going to be unimaginable. ”
Xu Kuang said apologetically: "Left and right are not, how is it good?" Zizhu said: "There is only one way, that is, you are not allowed to mention the name of our master in your mouth, and you are not allowed to think about it in your heart." Whether you want the rest of the princess Tiantai or not is none of our business. ”
When Xu Kuang heard this, he sighed and said, "It's not easy to forget the county lord. Her looks, demeanor, dancing, and graceful figure have been firmly imprinted in my mind and lingered. ”
"Don't speak, don't think!" Zizhu almost jumped up, emotional, and shouted: "You are about to die, you don't understand!" Xu Kuang sighed: "Is this what the county lord meant?" Zizhu said: "Yes! So tell me to come and listen to you. You must remember, our master will never like you, don't be delusional. Leave! After saying that, Zizhu turned around and left.
Xu Kuang was like being poured from top to bottom by a bucket of cold water, cold, and stood in a daze like a statue.
Zizhu took a breath out of Xu's Mansion and hurriedly returned to the Forbidden City. Walking to a noodle stall, smelling a smell of noodles, she touched her stomach, suddenly felt a little hungry, and before she knew it, it was noon. She thought for a moment: It's better to sit down and eat some noodles before going back to the palace. But the master is waiting for me to serve! Zizhu hesitated, and a burst of noodle fragrance came to her nose, Zizhu couldn't help it, so she hurriedly sat down and beckoned: "Boss, come to a bowl of noodles." Fast! "The stall owner has a good business, and he didn't have time to say yes to Zizhu.
Zizhu said loudly: "Boss, come up with a bowl of noodles!" When the stall owner heard this, he said, "Sit down, come!" ”
A bowl of fragrant noodles was served quickly. Zizhu said to herself: "I haven't eaten since the morning, and I have been arguing with that Xu Kuang, I am already hungry, this bowl of noodles is really timely rain." She put the noodles in her mouth, and someone patted her on the back.
Zizhu looked back, pointed at the man and exclaimed, "Wolver! "That person is Miyamoto Musashi. He hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Be quiet!" I'm not a wedge. Zizhu said: "Look at you in Hanfu, and you speak Chinese, saying that you are a widow and others still don't believe it!" ”
Miyamoto Musashi said, "May I sit down?" Zizhu said: "Whatever you want!" Miyamoto Musashi sat down. Zizhu said: "You are also here to eat noodles?" Miyamoto Musashi nodded and said, "Yes!" Zizhu said: "What are you doing sitting stupidly, you don't call it a bowl!" Miyamoto Musashi sat upright and said, "Girl, please!" Zizhu shook her head and said, "Dongying people are really weird! ”
Zizhu finished eating quickly, touched her belly and said, "It's so comfortable to eat." Boss, count the money! Miyamoto Musashi said: "The money is paid by the bottom, and the girl goes first!" Zizhu said: "You are quite pleasing to the eye today, why do you want to help me pay?" Miyamoto Musashi said: "Your master is my friend, and I also regard you as a friend." Zizhu got up and said, "Next time I invite you, go first!" Miyamoto Musashi also stood up and sent it to the prime minister.
Zizhu finished her errands, ate her fill, walked briskly, and unconsciously had the Forbidden City. Stepping into Ciqing Palace, I saw Lord Huaishu leaning on the door and looking out. Zizhu stepped over and said with a smile: "Master, you are waiting for me!" Lord Huai Shu said: "Is it done?" Zizhu said: "Tell Lord Xu clearly and clearly." Lord Huai Shu said: "What did he react to, what did he say?" Zizhu said: "What can he do, all he can do is nod." Master, are you eating? Lord Huaishu said angrily: "I'm hungry and faint when you eat back." ”
When the master and servant returned to the house, Zizhu smiled and said, "Master, who do you guess I met when I came back?" Lord Huaishu shook his head and said, "Don't guess!" For the sake of the imperial aunt, I have a headache and a brain swelling. Zizhu smiled: "Miyamoto Musashi from a foreign land." Lord Huai Shu said, "How did you meet him?" Zizhu said: "When I met at a roadside noodle stall, he also invited me to eat a bowl of noodles!" ”
Lord Huaishu pointed at her and said with a smile: "It's delicious!" It turned out that I had eaten it a long time ago, but fortunately I didn't wait for you. What do you say? Zizhu said: "I didn't say anything, but he invited me to eat noodles, I thanked me in person, and said that next time I would invite back, and then I left." She suddenly remembered something, and said, "I asked him why he invited me to eat noodles, and he said that you are his friend, master, and I will become his friend!" ”
Lord Huaishu nodded and said, "I heard that the people of the rivers and lakes are so bold. You must remember that you promised to reply. Zizhu said: "Of course it will be pulled!" "Lord Huaishu remembered that he had promised to help Miyamoto Musashi find a copy of the Yijin Sutra, although he didn't know what the content of this book was, but it was definitely a martial arts book. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle, and you will take advantage of staying in the palace to investigate.
Someone outside the door said softly: "Master, Wang Han asks to see!" Zizhu opened the door and said, "Huh! What are you doing here? Wang Han smiled and said, "I have something to report to the master." Lord Huaishu asked, "Wang Han, what's the matter?" Wang Han said: "Master, didn't you ask the slave about a book called "Yijin Jing" last time. The minions have inquired clearly. Lord Huaishu was overjoyed when he heard this, and said, "Where is it?" ”
Wang Han said: "This book is in the warehouse. Lord Huaishu groaned, "Do you think we can get this book?" Wang Han said: "The slave thinks it is difficult, one of them: the inner carrier warehouse is guarded during the day; Second: although there are no guards at night, there are guards patrolling; Third: I heard that this book is placed on the top floor, and you need a ladder to get it. And the ladder has been locked into another room and kept by a special person, and no one can get the ladder without the emperor's will. You can't get this book without a ladder. ”
Lord Huaishu pondered for a while and said, "You go to the Penglai Inn and ask Miyamoto Musashi to come to my room at night." Don't leak the news. Zizhu said on the side: "Master, it's not good for you to let a man enter the room at night, in case someone finds out." Tell the slave to do it! Lord Huaishu shook his head and said, "I want to do this with my own hands!" ”
Wang Han flew out of the palace and went straight to the Penglai Inn. He found the shopkeeper and asked, "Boss, do you have a person named Miyamoto Musashi who lives here?" When the shopkeeper saw the eunuch in Wang Han's palace dressed up, he didn't dare to slack off, and said with a smile: "Wait! He flipped through the notebook and there was no name named Miyamoto Musashi, scratched his head and said, "It doesn't seem to be such a person." Wang Han was surprised: "You check again!" ”
The shopkeeper looked at it carefully from beginning to end, shook his head and said, "There is really no such person." Wang Han muttered: "Impossible, the master is obviously talking about Penglai Inn." I heard Zizhu say that this person is a Dongying warrior, but he didn't use this name, so as not to be suspected. When he thought about it, he didn't know what to do, so he rubbed his hands together and racked his brains to find a way.
Seeing this, the shopkeeper said, "Little father-in-law, you should go to another inn and ask." Wang Han thought to himself: Let's wait and wait, maybe I don't know if I can meet it. He stood at the counter and looked at the people coming in and out, hoping to find Miyamoto Musashi by feeling.
Suddenly, the shopkeeper shouted, "Little father-in-law, there is a man named Musashi here, I don't know if it is the person you are looking for." Wang Han was pleasantly surprised: "Really? What room does he live in? The shopkeeper said, "Room 14." There was a shopkeeper next to him who said: "The guests who live in the No. 14 room have not returned mile after going out." Wang Han said: "Okay, I'll wait here." ”
