Chapter 40: The Cave House
"How do you know I'm here?"
There are many people in the courtyard of Xin Ciying's house, and it is also very lively.
But more than that, it looks a little messy.
The hot water all over the floor, the inexplicable smell of medicine, and the large patches of blood sprinkled under the tree all showed what had just happened here.
It had been two hours since Wang Xie entered here, and it was only now that Liu Bang had the kung fu to sit down and rest for a while.
He saw Wang Xie's appearance, and also saw the whole process of him changing from a living person to a 'human being'.
Although he didn't move, he just watched from the sidelines.
But when I thought of Qi Ji......
It was a kind of punishment that annihilated humanity, when Wang Xie's whole emotions went from shock, to fear, to fear, and then to despair after his hands and feet were broken.
In the end, he could no longer be called 'he', he was no longer a man, but a humble maggot-like writhing maniacal...... Stuff.
Even if Liu Bang was mentally prepared, he couldn't help but sweat after really experiencing it. But more than that, it turned out to be his own inner questioning of himself:
Lu Pheasant's mother-in-law has slept with herself for so many years, although it is true that sometimes her temper is not very good, but she will not become so ruthless.
Has she been hiding her temperament, or does she really hate that Qi Ji to the bone?
He didn't know, and no one gave him an answer, he just thought about what he would have to do if he could have anticipated it in advance, so as to avoid something from happening.
Having said that, he really didn't expect Zhao Ding to follow, and he also said what he said to Wang Xie, letting this person know what he was going to face in advance.
This is also the third time that Liu Bang has taken his prime minister seriously.
The first time was his ten strategies for governing the country, and the second time was after knowing what he had done in Lin'an.
Zhao Ding was not very well treated by Xin Ciying, so he did not participate in the conversation, but just stood next to him, although he did not interject, he did not leave.
He also wants to hear what this Zhao Xianggong is saying, and his old acquaintance, after seeing the emperor's methods, will he be the classic villain who is condescending and respectful.
Zhao Ding looked at the emperor, in less than a month, although his behavior was not as good as Wang Xie's, he was indeed pointed out by Qianfu,
If Wang Xie was made into a human being, then it would not be too unjust for him to be cut off his head.
"You should come back later."
Xin Ciying thought that this old man, like himself, was complaining about the emperor, and he was telling a lie at this moment.
I couldn't help but feel a little disdain in my heart...... What is your relationship with the official family, and you dare to learn from the old man?
However, Liu Bang didn't care, just waved his hand:
"I'll talk about that later, and you can answer what I asked you first."
Zhao Ding waved at him and said, "It's not difficult to guess, because Xin Qiji will never compromise with Wang Xie, let alone invite him to his home as a guest." ”
"And if he did this, he must have wanted to take revenge on Wang Xie."
"He has always followed the rules, and if he can take revenge on Wang Xie, it must be because he has a helper."
"He is a young friend, and now there is only one minister who has the ability to help him in Lin'an City, but he didn't come to find the minister...... Naturally, the official family has returned. ”
Liu Bang slapped his face: "You are sensitive." ”
After a pause, he added:
"I didn't misread you."
Zhao Ding was silent, but Xin Ciying heard this, and he was a little anxious.
Zhao Ding, this old thing, must not be clear to the officials these days, and he must not be able to watch the emperor being kept in the dark like this;
But if he said it, according to the emperor's temper, this person might die now...... He's a bastard, but he can't help but miss his old feelings.
Suddenly, Xin Ciying was in a dilemma.
"It's not time yet," Zhao Ding continued what he said just now, "If you come back a month late, even if it's half a month, it should be enough." ”
Liu Bang patted him on the shoulder:
"It doesn't matter, I said a word to Yue Fei before, and I'll talk to you again today."
"If I dare to betray the alliance, I will not be afraid of being scolded; I dare to kill the minister, and I am not afraid of being scolded...... As for daring to go north in person with soldiers, let alone that. ”
"From the first day I opened my eyes, I didn't know what fear was, and when I did what I did, I did it myself, and as for the consequences......"
"I never regret what I did, only many things I didn't do."
Zhao Ding continued to be silent, and after a long while, he continued:
"I can't worry about the king, it's the minister's incompetence."
"Don't be distracted by these little characters, our purpose is in the north, these people are just minions. But then again, if they hadn't jumped out on their own, it would have been hard to tell the difference between loyalty and treachery just by the naked eye. ”
Seeing that Xin Ciying was becoming more and more entangled and twisted, Liu Bang didn't care, and finally stood up and said to Zhao Ding:
"These days, you have also suffered a lot of grievances."
"But don't worry, I'll tell them about your distress afterwards."
Difficulties...... Xin Fuyin didn't quite understand, but by this time, the emperor had returned, and he didn't need to think about so many things.
From the moment this person entered Lin'an, everything was already decided.
The Xin family finally remembered the way of hospitality, and made tea from home, the weather was still cold, and he drank a sip of hot tea, and when he wanted to drink it again, the tea in the cup was already a lot colder.
"The people in your government are all gone, aren't they?"
Knowing that the emperor was talking to himself, Xin Ciying replied:
"No, from errand to official, from official to official, there is only one minister left."
"Hmmm......"
With a soft answer, the courtyard fell silent again.
Except for Wang Xie, who was constantly humming in his firewood room, there was no other sound.
Finally, as if the emperor had made a decision, he asked Xin Ciying again:
"I heard that a hundred years ago, there was a man named Bao Zheng in Kaifeng Mansion, who was called 'Qingtian' by the people, scolded the emperor, and impeached the prime minister.
Only at this time can everyone remember that the emperor has not recovered well, and the two old men glanced at each other, and quickly looked away from each other.
That Bao Xiaosu is known for his integrity, and the people of the world regard him as the king of Hades...... A person's name may be fake, but his nickname will never be faked.
Bao Qingtian has already explained everything.
Zhao Ding bowed and said: "There is indeed such a thing, why did the official family suddenly ask about this?" ”
"On the way here before, Lu Zai mentioned it...... But this old boy often exaggerates, so he doesn't dare to believe it all, so he has come to ask you. ”
"Since it's true, then ......"
He looked at Xin Ciying, and saw that this old man couldn't help but tremble, and always felt that the emperor was about to start a new trick again.
"That black boy can do so well in Kaifeng Mansion, how can Lao Tzu's Lin'an Mansion Yin be bad?!"
"Old man, tomorrow you will be promoted to a hall, let everyone go and make trouble, someone accuses a case, you will take a case, save some dog days and say that Lao Tzu is nameless and has no rules."
"Well done, Lao Tzu will help you kill the power stick tomorrow, and if you do a good job, Lao Tzu will also make you a king of Hades."
If you do it, Xin Ciying will naturally dare to do it.
Just thinking about something else, he still persuaded:
"Official, why don't you go back to the palace first, take care of the big things in the palace first, and it's not too late for us to punish the others."
"No!"
The emperor refused very decisively: "Lao Tzu is a lively Lin'an, and they made him look like this, Lao Tzu is upset!" ”
"When that Wang Qi comes, let him give you some people first, and tomorrow you can take whoever you want, and I will exonerate you."
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and as soon as the emperor's voice fell, the door of the Xin family was knocked on.
When I opened the door, it wasn't Wang Qi, who was it?
This kid and his father have a virtue, they like to kill, and they like to smear human blood on their bodies, and they don't feel like they smell so bad that they panic, and now they have become a bloody man, and as soon as they enter the door, they just want to salute the emperor, so they stick out their noses and sniff hard.
It was only when he sniffed the emperor's side that Liu Bang slapped him on the head before he reacted.
"See Your Majesty...... It's already done over there, and we've already sent someone to spread the word, and in a moment our people will be able to come in directly from there. ”
"You're a dog? Smell what?! ”
Wang Qi smiled: "I smell blood...... At this smell, the man was bound to die a terrible death. ”
"What else do you have to do?"
"The official family doesn't know that it can smell so much blood, hehe, it must be as simple as a broken head."
Giving him a blank look, the emperor informed him of the arrangements again, Wang Qi clapped his hands and applauded, and made another request:
"Can you let the ministers follow suit...... Chen Ke is a good hand, if he says that he is half dead, he will never be killed, and if he is killed, he will never leave him a breath. ”
"Okay, okay, you go wash it quickly, it's all fucking stinky!"
Wang Qi was a little reluctant, but the emperor spoke, and he had to go, but he only took a step, and he turned around again:
"Your Majesty, the kid from the Lu She's family, and the sedan chair have all been carried over, how can we arrange them?"
Arrangement......
Liu Bang thought about it, anyway, Lu Zai hasn't arrived yet, so if he helps people, he will naturally help to the end.
Let Xin Ciying vacate a guest room and come out, let the bride in, and call Lu You over:
"Anyway, Lao Tzu promised you, that's your daughter-in-law, they all say that it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, and everyone has put on their red wedding dresses, so you can't take them off and wear them again."
"It's cheap for you today, let's cook the raw rice and cook it...... Look at your kid is also a chick, remember to be gentle with others, if there is anything you don't understand, just ask Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu knows. ”
Sage Cloud ...... Fuck your saint, Lu You wanted to force himself to struggle, but he only showed a slightly hesitant expression, and the emperor immediately turned cold.
It's all forced...... No, it's all the meaning of the official, you can't help but listen to Your Majesty's words, this is a holy decree, and if you violate the decree, you will bully the king, and if you bully the king, you will be beheaded.
He tried hard to convince himself, took a deep breath, and went into the room with great embarrassment.
"Don ...... Tang Wan. ”
Today is really too long, Tang Wan only knows that he can't speak, can't go to the ground, can't lift the hijab, and now he only feels that he has arrived in someone's house, and when he thinks of all the things in the past few days, how can there be the joy of the newlywed in his heart, only endless heaviness.
So when Lu You's voice sounded, she couldn't help it.
Most of them are delirious, at this time, how could Lu You come here?
He did come, not only came, but also gently lifted the hijab embroidered with mandarin ducks.
"You ......"
He told the girl everything the emperor had done, and knew that he would not deceive himself, and suddenly many feelings came to her heart, and she didn't know what kind of reaction she should make.
And this time......
Outside the door of the guest room, Liu Bang seemed to have learned Ji Wu, half-squatting, and put his ear on the door.
While listening, he frowned:
"This kid doesn't know how to do things, and he has to talk so much about holding him in his arms."
What a waste of time.
On the other end is Xin Ciying, and the old man is stroking his beard:
"Or else...... The minister asked Da Lang to send some wine in, but it was always so consumed, and this cave room was in vain. ”
He is also Lu Zai's friend, and it was with his recommendation that Lu Zai was summoned back from San'in.
Anyway, he can be regarded as Lu You's elder, and this kind of good thing is naturally very willing to help.
Zhao Ding was a little unimpressed...... He didn't want to listen to it, it was not a glorious thing after all, but the emperor tried his best to invite him, and it was really difficult to refuse.
At this time, he also expressed his opinion:
"It's better to find someone to find some medicine, the ones that the official family used before, I don't know if there are any left."
Xin Ciying already had a big opinion of him, and now he listened to his words and scolded:
"Medicine! It's all about doing it! If you want to send it, you can send wine, two glasses down, and everything will work! ”
With the emperor's statement, Zhao Ding no longer dressed up at this time:
"You are Qinggao, you have given away all the wine, but you can't afford to send medicine, do you really want to set up a memorial arch?"
Xin Ciying glared at him: "Just send wine!" ”
"Send medicine!"
At this time, the two actually quarreled.
Liu Bang's attention was all in the house, and he didn't pay much attention to what the two old men were saying, but when Xin Ciying's family came again, he took the god back.
Lu Zai saw an emperor, a prime minister, and a Lin'an parent, all three of them were sneaky, and they became interested for a while, and they also posted them:
"Official, what are you listening to?"
No one paid attention to him, so he had to probe his ears to the past, and after only listening to it for a while, he immediately became angry, and wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the emperor on the side:
"Lao Tzu is right, don't do bad things to you kid."
Lu Zai couldn't stop shouting, but his mouth was covered by Xin Ciying, and his hands were held by Zhao Ding, the old man was helpless, and his eyes were almost red.
It was only when the voice in the room was quieter, and then they heard the girl's snort with their own ears, and the few of them were done, and they were a little farther away from this place.
Liu Bang thought about it, except for planting wind and winning another door today, it seems that there is nothing else to do, just wait for the opening of the Lin'an Mansion tomorrow, and he will be able to deal with a lot of things.
He gave a lot of orders to a few people, and the three old men had their own thoughts, but they all complied.
There is still a chapter that can't be sent, so I'll change it and make it up tomorrow
