Qi Chang held an umbrella and walked home with a silver ticket, and a few branches of wood hibiscus stretched out from the cracks in the wall, shrunk into a ball, and the rain did not become beads.

He didn't look at the scene of the autumn rain withering, he walked quickly, the houses on both sides were immersed in a hazy drizzle, everything was damp and cold, making people shudder.

He suddenly had the illusion that he was still a little beggar, carrying a broken bowl and chasing people in the drizzle to beg.

At that time, Wu Jin was still carrying the burden of selling cakes, as long as he begged for it, he would give himself a cake to eat, at that time, Mo Lingfeng was still on Mo Qianlan's shoulders, arms, and hands, the golden light was brilliant, and he couldn't look at it directly.

At that time, he never thought to ask himself if he had enough money, and the people who gave him money would be these two people.

To be able to go from a little beggar to this point, he thinks enough.

Even if he dies tomorrow, he is satisfied.

When approaching the long street where the palace gate entered, the rain suddenly became heavier, and the cold wind was raging, and the only few fires made the wind and rain unable to shine.

Qi Chang's eyes suddenly darkened, and he only heard the wild sound of the trees in his ears, like a stormy wave, thunder rose from the ground, booming, shaking the ground, the heavy rain was tight for a while, he couldn't move an inch, and the ground was instantly flooded.

Hurriedly walked to the door of a foot shop, the foot shop was closed along with the left and right, he took the umbrella, stood by the door, and stood under the dark porch looking left and right.

Ten steps further, is a store, the candle flame in the rain with a layer of soft light and shadow, the sheng song in the thunder more and more tactful and soft, laughter continues, there are a few people on the second floor sitting by the railing, lighting the lamp to watch the rain, the posture is arbitrary and calm.

The world is like this, the wind and rain never fall on the powerful.

Qi Chang looked away and looked at the palace gate, the palace gate had not yet been keyed, and suddenly two lights came out, and the flames did not move in the wind and rain, and the lighting was fixed, which was very strange.

He couldn't help staring, waiting for the lamp to get closer and closer, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be two octagonal palace lamps, the silk yarn was soaked in water glue, which could protect against wind and rain, and there were burning candles inside, so the fire was fixed and not shaken.

The people who hold the lamp are Ji Xiang and Wu Jin of the Hanlin Academy.

The bachelor of the Hanlin Academy is the emperor's private person, not only in the forbidden place, under the edict, but also in order to prepare advisers, current affairs in the court, there are many figures of the Hanlin Academy, the two of them left the palace at this time, it must be the emperor to stay in the house, and return late.

Qi Chang stood in the dark, moved his feet forward, and then retracted - Ji Xiang was strict, far better than He Feng, he didn't dare to step forward to greet Wu Jin.

His eyes unconsciously followed Wu Jin, and saw that Wu Jin was wearing a scarlet robe, the hem of his clothes was tucked into his waist, his feet were on clogs, an umbrella in one hand, and a lamp in the other.

The oil-paper umbrella leaning forward blocked Wu Jin's eyebrows, Qi Chang couldn't see his expression clearly, only saw that the wide sleeves let the rain get wet, hanging down from his hands, but they didn't show any heaviness, and moved with Wu Jin's pace.

Wu Jin and everything around him will not be destroyed by wind and rain.

A thought suddenly popped up in Qi Chang's heart: "Is the disciple that the saint expects like Wu Jin?"

He was envious in his heart, watched Wu Jin and Ji Xiang leave, and waited for a while, when the rain became smaller, he picked up an umbrella from the door.

Just as he was about to open the umbrella, the sound of the carriage sounding at the gate of the palace again, the coachman who was driving the carriage shook the reins, drank twice, and galloped, but in the blink of an eye, he galloped past Qi Chang.

The wheels ran over the water on the ground, splashing people's high water, and the sewage came to his face, Qi Chang instantly became a soup chicken, and the newly bought head and newly made clothes were all wet, and his face was covered with water, flowing down his neck to the placket.

"Fuck—" he yelled in the direction of the carriage's departure.

However, the carriage was long gone, and a group of attendants behind the carriage also rode away, and even the spectators on the second floor of the main store went in to drink, and the whole street was empty and dark, and his curse words dissipated in the rain.

The fury came to an abrupt end, and helplessness swept over, leaving only powerless frustration.

He opened his umbrella to block the dwindling rain, and his shoulders shrunk more and more, turning into an inconspicuous shadow in the night, and walked home.

Galloping carriage

, sits the king of Jiyang County.

The carriage carried the heavy King of Jiyang County, ran at a gallop, and went straight to Wu Jin's house.

Wu Jin lived in a narrow alley, the carriage couldn't get in, the carriage stopped outside the alley, the entourage immediately turned over and dismounted, one of them ran to the carriage, took off the car on the palace lamp, put down the stool, lifted the curtain, and asked the king of Jiyang to come out.

The king of Jiyang got out of the carriage, grabbed the palace lamp, and stood in front of the alley.

The rain had stopped, and the lights shone out of the face of the county king Tieqing, and the two fat masses on his cheeks drooped down along with the corners of his mouth.

A family in front of him came out to pour water, and saw that the king of Jiyang County was white and tall, with angry eyebrows, and a group of people standing behind him like thugs, he was immediately frightened, and he didn't dare to pour the water, turned around and closed the door, hiding behind the door, and the atmosphere did not dare to breathe.

The king of Jiyang turned his head and asked his entourage, "Which one?"

The attendant replied in a low voice, "The one with the locust tree outside the door."

The king of Jiyang County walked inside.

He, the king of the county, was still sealed by the first emperor at the time, and after leaving the cabinet, he should have been added as a prince, but the first emperor said that he was impulsive, and if he was added as a prince, he would have to be a vassal domain, or put it in the capital to control it, so he has never been crowned a prince.

Now that he is getting older, and his eldest son is already older, if he is not a prince, his descendants will not be able to be crowned heirs, or even dukes, but can only inherit the shadow.

Today he cried His Majesty, adding him as a prince and his eldest son as a duke, and he was not damaged in the country, but he was stirred up by Wu Jin!

Wu Jin said that "when he came out of the cabinet, the first emperor was not crowned king, and then the king must be in office for many years, and his teeth and virtues are slightly respected, and Fang Te was crowned as a king", and said "If the king of the county is crowned as the king, and the two towns are combined, it will be difficult to convince the public", and then said "The cheap car festival is fast, and the order is moved, you can be added as the heir first", it's a fart!

It's nothing more than because there are too many fiefs and rice in the prince!

The dynasty is not his Wu Jin's, it is the world of their Zhao family, and there is no need to save money with the surname Wu!

The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, he had to let Wu Jin taste his methods, strode under the locust tree, he kicked open the small door, and gave an order, letting people smash this house from the inside out!

The courtyard was empty, the entourage went straight to the house, lit the lamp, raised their hands and smashed it, the old servant who had been asleep hurriedly came out, even drank and asked, but he was hit by a big mouth of the king of Jiyang County, fell out three steps, and the teeth in his mouth were knocked out of two, and he immediately covered his mouth and wanted to climb out, but he asked an entourage to pull it up and carry it to the king of Jiyang County.

King Jiyang said coldly, "Where is Wu Jin?"

The old servant's face was full of horror, and he shook his head again and again, trembling like chaff, and finally his eyes rolled and he passed out, and his attendants threw him to the ground.

There was a rumble in the house, and the neighbors heard the movement and did not dare to raise their heads, only a few bold ones quietly went to report to the official.

The king of Jiyang County guessed that Wu Jin went to Ji Xiang's place, and it was better to go to the secret road, so he raised his feet to find the study.
