Chapter Seventy-Three: Jin Wuwei's Infighting
"How does it taste?" Cheng Xiyao looked at Tang Xuan with anticipation on her face.
"Not bad, it's better than the restaurant outside!" Tang Xuan is usually greedy, and he is also willing to spend time studying some cooking skills, and his cooking skills are superb, and this Cheng Xiyao's skills are not far from Tang Xuan.
"If you like it." Cheng Xiyao didn't seem to be hungry, and she didn't take a bite of the dishes she cooked, just ate some staple foods.
Full of wine and food, Cheng Xiyao cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, she had no intention of leaving, she was about to become Tang Xuan's maid, tidying up Tang Xuan's room, and the floor was swept spotlessly, so clean that Tang Xuan was a little unaccustomed to it.
Tang Xuan finally spoke, and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Cheng, you are in the period of filial piety, it is not good to always run to me...... If you let others see it, it's terrible! ”
Tang Xuan, with the support of Wei De, was already above Cheng Xiyao, and he didn't have to worry about Cheng Xiyao's unspoken rules, so he spoke a lot harder.
When Cheng Xiyao heard this, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled lightly and said, "I'm a widow, and I've heard a lot of gossip, so I just don't care...... I remember that when I was at the last moment, I made a choice between Ouyang Wen and you, and you should be able to see my mind. ”
"Madame's mind, I know ...... below" Tang Xuan nodded solemnly.
This Cheng Xiyao has indeed paid a lot for herself, although she has made mistakes, she has always made up for it, she stabbed Ouyang Wen to death when she was at stake, which shows that in her heart, she is more important than Ouyang Wen!
"You once said in front of your deceased husband that you would take care of me, Lord Tang is a hero of the world, and he will never break his word, I know this very well." Cheng Xiyao actually started moral kidnapping, and Tang Xuan just ate this.
"This ...... I did say that. Tang Xuan was just angry with Ouyang Wen at that time, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by his pigtails now.
Cheng Xiyao smiled softly, walked to Tang Xuan and sat down, grabbed Tang Xuan's hand, and said softly: "Although I have been married, I am a girl from a good family, which is better than those dusty women...... I've figured it out now, it doesn't matter if I'm a wife or a concubine, as long as adults have mercy. ”
Originally, Cheng Xiyao refused to be a concubine, but Tang Xuan's official position was promoted rapidly, and if he didn't work hard, he might not even be able to get a concubine in the future, Cheng Xiyao was very smart and knew how to judge the situation.
As the saying goes, 'don't take advantage of it, bastard', this beauty sent to the door, don't want it in vain.
Tang Xuan has a sense of inferiority complex in his bones, beauties like Liu Yueling and Ji Lan, although Tang Xuan sometimes teases, he always feels that he is not worthy of the other party, this woman like Cheng Xiyao is already a dream for him.
It doesn't matter if you've been married, you're full of experience, and there's a faint feeling of excitement, Ouyang Wen, a bastard, didn't wear little shoes for Tang Xuan, and after he died, he wore a little green hat, and it was good to get out of the evil spirit in his chest.
At this moment, countless thoughts poured out of Tang Xuan's mind, and the fox Xiao Ji next to him saw it and understood what was going on, although this Tang Xuan had made progress, it was also limited......
Cheng Xiyao came closer, sat on Tang Xuan's lap, and reached into Tang Xuan's collar with her little hand, and took the initiative to close her eyes and lean in, Tang Xuan licked his lips nervously and did not refuse.
Cheng Xiyao was not like this in the past, after all, he was a person from the past, and he no longer twisted, Tang Xuan was extremely talented and affectionate, and he would never suffer a loss if he followed.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Tang Xuan's good brother Yu Bin hurriedly walked in, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he froze in place.
"I ...... Should I knock on the door first? Yu Bin asked in a low voice.
Cheng Xiyao's face flushed, and she quickly stood up, with no place to put her hands and feet, and she lowered her head and didn't dare to face Bin.
"Ahem...... I was discussing the case with Captain Cheng, and suddenly an evil wind came and blinded her eyes, so I just blew it on her! Tang Xuan also blushed and hurriedly explained to himself.
"Humble duty understands!" Yu Bin is an old fritter and nodded again and again.
"Okay, Captain Cheng, you go down first! Yu Bin and I have something to discuss. Tang Xuan knew that Yu Bin must have something important, otherwise he wouldn't have come here at night.
"Retire from your duties!" Cheng Xiyao respectfully saluted Tang Xuan, and then withdrew.
Yu Bin smiled evilly, didn't salute, sat directly opposite Tang Xuan, poured himself a cup of tea, and said, "Lord Tang is so good, even Cheng Xiyao can win it!" The three beauties in the capital, according to legend, Pang Hua's concubine Ding Meilan was taken away from the mansion by you, Chu Yueping, the flower of the Jiaofang Division, became a ghost and still stayed in the mansion for a few days, and now Cheng Xiyao, who has become a widow, was also taken down, and Lord Tang is really a god. ”
"Less messing around! We are innocent, and if you talk nonsense, I will punish you to raise horses! Tang Xuan was a person who wanted face, so he immediately blocked Yu Bin's mouth.
"That's right, that's right, my lord is a righteous gentleman who doesn't sit still!" Yu Bin said again, "My lord, let me inform you that I will arrive at the gate of the East City Gate tomorrow and have a special mission." ”
Tang Xuan tidied up his clothes and asked, "No, if there is a long-distance mission, it should be assigned by Zhonglang, and it should be notified three days in advance to prepare." ”
"I don't know...... I was just about to go home, but I was stopped by Guo Xun and asked me to inform you. Yu Bin was also confused.
"Alright, got it!" Tang Xuan was helpless, so he could only agree, but he always felt that things were a little strange.
Jin Wuwei is an important force in the capital, among which there are a mixture of fish and dragons, some people are loyal to the emperor, some people are biased towards the prime minister, and there are many other forces or wall grass, although the power is very large, but it is a plate of scattered sand.
There are many masters among Jin Wuwei, but he ordered himself to go out of the city to perform the task, Tang Xuan was a little suspicious, and he needed to be more careful.
……
Day 2.
Next to the east city gate, there were three immortal cultivators in civilian clothes, the first one was dressed in black, with long eyebrows and phoenix eyes, and a long bronze face, revealing a majesty, this person was Dugu Xin, the general of Jin Wuwei.
On the left-hand side, a person with a face like a crown of jade, a pale face, big eyes slightly narrowed, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he would always be a smiling face, the official residence Jin Wuwei Zhonglang General, known as the smiling tiger Guo Xun, is Tang Xuan's top boss.
The person on the right hand is a woman, this woman is quite good-looking, this person has a melon seed face, it is estimated that due to the perennial wind and sun, the color of the skin is slightly heavy, but it looks quite tasteful.
This dress is also quite avant-garde, although it is winter, the neckline is very large, because of the prominent figure, the career line is very obvious, a fiery red long skirt, the skirt has a fork, a beautiful leg is exposed, quite tempting.
This person is Jin Wuwei's only female lieutenant general, named Shangguan Mei.
What is the task, two of the four Zhonglang will come, and a general will come, which shows the importance of this mission.
"I've seen three adults!" Seeing the three people in front of him, Tang Xuan was secretly shocked in his heart, General Jin Wuwei personally led the team, and two of the four Zhonglang came, this lineup was unprecedented.
"Tang Xuan, you're late." There was a hint of dissatisfaction in Guo Xun's words, "This official business is very secret, but it was ordered by the general himself, and you must not neglect it." ”
"Dare to ask your lordship, what is the matter?"
"The general looked through the classics of the previous dynasty and found a secret thing, there was an ancient tomb in the east, and some people strayed into it, found the elixir, and could prolong their lives...... The Admiral ordered us to find this elixir and present it to Your Majesty. Guo Xun explained a little.
Emperor Jiang Chen likes alchemy in order to live forever, if he can find the elixir, it must be a great achievement.
After a brief discussion, the four of them got up and set off.
For three days, they traveled hundreds of miles and stopped at a valley.
There is a rock-paved path that winds into the valley, and beside the path emerges an inn, where large wine characters sway gently in the breeze.
If it was late today, the four of them turned over and dismounted, and entered the inn for the night.
The moon was dark and the wind was high, and the scorching heat of midsummer had passed, Tang Xuan clasped his hands and leaned against the window, enjoying the cool breeze blowing outside the window.
There was a knock on the door, Tang Xuan looked at the door and said, "Come in." ”
As soon as the door opened, Shangguan Mei walked into the room, holding a wine jug and glass in her hand, and she was not polite after entering the door, and sat directly at the table.
"The night is long, I have no intention of sleeping, I don't know if Tang Gongzi can enjoy his face and have a drink?" Shangguan Mei poured a glass of wine, put it on the opposite side, poured another glass for herself, and took a sip gently.
Tang Xuan's face was expressionless, and he sat opposite Shangguan Mei, "Lord Shangguan, you and I are on official business, so it's not good to get drunk here...... In the middle of the night, stay in my room, I'm afraid of criticism! ”
"People say that Tang Gongzi has a free and easy temperament, he is a man of temperament, and he is afraid of gossip?" Shangguan Mei still kept a smile and took a sip, "The journey is boring, I don't know if Tang Gongzi feels lonely and cold?" ”
After that, Tang Xuan felt something strange under the table, and a little foot was on his knee.
"Lord Shangguan, what does this mean?" Tang Xuan didn't have any waves in his heart, he had already seen a lot of such situations.
"Drink two glasses with Childe, and then fall asleep and exchange heart...... I wonder if Childe is willing? Shangguan Mei disregarded etiquette, righteousness and shame and continued to tease.
Tang Xuan smiled slightly, with disdain: "Beauty plan!" I've seen a lot of things in the next place, and I'm afraid that this wine has been poisoned...... Moreover, he seduced me with such an ugly woman, this Jin Wuwei is really a withering talent. ”
When Shangguan Mei heard this, her face was terrifyingly dark, she was delicate, and she had many suitors on weekdays, but now when she came to Tang Xuan, she was called an ugly girl, and her mood was instantly bad.
Suddenly, she raised her hand suddenly, and a cold light flew out of her palm, it was actually a flying knife!
Tang Xuan stretched out two fingers and gently clamped the flying knife, the tip of the flying knife was glowing with a trace of black gas, I am afraid that it is highly poisonous.
"The world's martial arts are invincible, only fast and unbreakable...... Lord Shangguan, you really want to assassinate this son! Tang Xuan didn't panic at all, he understood now that these people had deceived themselves out of the capital, and they were afraid that they were going to kill themselves.
Tang Xuan was cautious along the way, they didn't have a chance to make a move, and today they finally lost their patience and sent Shangguan Mei to use the beauty trick on themselves!
Shangguan Mei was a master of the Jiedan Realm, and her strength should not be underestimated, seeing that she couldn't succeed in one blow, she quickly overturned the table and kicked Tang Xuan's head.
Tang Xuan stretched out his hand, grabbed Shangguan Mei's ankle, took a step forward gently, and hugged Shangguan Mei's waist, Shangguan Mei was very flexible, forming a posture of opening her feet.
Tang Xuan joked: "Why is Lord Shangguan so anxious, he actually wants to take the initiative to give him a hug!" ”
Shangguan Mei was ashamed and angry, and immediately used the two dragons to play with the pearl and inserted it into Tang Xuan's eyes, Tang Xuan gently turned Shangguan Mei's legs, and Shangguan Mei poked them on his calves.
Tang Xuan stretched out his leg and hooked, Shangguan Mei lost her center of gravity, and a big split came on the ground, Tang Xuan twisted Shangguan Mei's arm with both hands, stepped on her back, and trampled her on the ground.
"The flexibility is good, but it unlocks a lot of poses...... Lord Shangguan, who ordered you to come, tell me. ”
Shangguan Mei had already realized that there was a gap between herself and Tang Xuan, at least this strength and speed were not at the same level, she said in a trembling voice: "It's the general, he asked me to poison you, I ......"
Halfway through his words, an incomparably condensed sword qi came from below, Tang Xuan was shocked, he didn't expect that someone would hide in the room downstairs and sneak attack, regardless of Shangguan Mei's life or death!
