Taihao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and suddenly realized, no wonder Yao Fuji asked him if he had married a wife and had children when he was in Julongzhai. Jiayu told Taihao that the emperor asked him to accept everything from the city lord Yao Fuji, so Taihao accepted the gifts from Yao Fuji one by one. Tai Hao asked the two officers and soldiers to carry the box of gold and a box of silver into his room. Daxi looked at it and asked Taihao: "Twelve, you can call this accepting bribes, aren't you afraid of accidents?" ”

Tai Hao said: "This is all arranged by the emperor for me to do, and these things will be handed over to the imperial court." ”

Onishi nodded, and said with a smile: "What about this beauty?" ”

Taihao carefully looked at the woman in the sedan chair again, her fingers were as soft as spring wattles, her skin was as white as clotted fat, she was wearing a light gauze thin dress, her long hair was coiled into a bun, and a white hosta was inserted on her head, revealing a delicate and beautiful face, and a pair of beautiful eyes were full of infinite tenderness and love. Tai Hao looked at the woman, she didn't look like the people of Pinghe City, most of the people here looked a little different from the people of the Central Plains, and their eyes were green, but this woman was not like this, she was invited out of the sedan chair, Tai Hao asked: "Look at your appearance, it doesn't look like you are from Pinghe City, are you from the original from it?" ”

The woman replied softly, "The slave family originally came from Fengling City, but they were caught by four terrible-looking bandits in this place, and then handed me over to the city lord. As he spoke, tears silently flowed out.

Tai Hao was shocked, and said secretly: "I was caught by four terrible-looking bandits, and I came from Fengling City, could it be that this woman is the daughter of Wanhua, the general of Fengling City, and those four terrifying-looking bandits are the "four little ghosts"?"

Hurriedly stepped forward and continued to ask, "Are you from Fengling City?" When we came here, we passed by Fengling City, and we stayed there for many days. What is your name? ”

The beautiful woman continued to reply softly: "The name of the slave family is ...... Maoru. ”

After speaking, he stopped talking, just stared at Taihao with a pair of soft and beautiful eyes.

At this time, Tai Hao remembered that in the prison of Fengling City, General Wanhua said that one of his two children was named Wan Cai and the other was Mao Ru. was captured by the "Four Little Ghosts", and now he can be sure that this woman is the daughter of General Wanhua. Tai Hao asked, "Do you have a brother named Wancai?" ”

When Mao Ru heard Wan Cai's name, she said in surprise: "How do you know my brother's name, after we were caught by those four terrible bandits, they separated me from my brother. I can't find where my brother is now, may I ask you, have you seen my brother? She finished and burst into tears again.

Tai Hao thought for a moment: "It turns out that the "four little ghosts" have already colluded with Xiao Fuji. He continued to ask Mao Ru: "I haven't seen your brother, but I know your grandfather, I am friends with your grandfather, your grandfather asked me to save you, but I don't know how to save it." Because I don't know where the 'four little ghosts' have taken you, I ask you, how did you get here? Then why did the 'Four Little Ghosts' give you to the City Lord of Yaofuji? ”

Mao Ru cried and said, "They gave me as a gift to the city lord here, and I don't know what their relationship is with the city lord here. Tears kept flowing. Seeing this, Taihao suddenly felt a little distressed and sighed deeply.

Then he nodded to Mao Ru and said, "Miss Mao Ru, don't cry anymore, arrange a room for you first, and you go and have a good rest." So, Taihao asked Daxi to call Nianyu to the front hall and said to Nianyu: "Senior sister, this is Miss Maoru, let her follow you in the future." ”

Mao Ru lowered her voice and said to Tai Hao: "Didn't the city lord of Yao Fuji say that let the slave family follow you?" ”

Tai Chu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, and then smiled bitterly: "It seems that the city lord of Yao Fuji has arranged it properly!" You don't have to follow me first, Miss Maoru will follow Nianyu in the future. ”

Then he looked at Mao Ru and said, "I'll let Daxi arrange a place for you to live first." ”

Mao Ru nodded lightly after hearing this, and Tai Hao said to Daxi: "Daxi, you arrange for the family to help Miss Mao Ru clean up a room and come out." Onishi answered and walked to the backyard.

Nian Yu asked Taihao curiously, "This is your new maid?" ”

Tai Hao smiled: "This is not a maid, I know his grandfather, let Miss Maoru follow you in the future, you just take care of each other." ”

Nian Yu nodded, and suddenly remembered something else, so he asked: "I went to look for Senior Brother Dumb Shan just now, but I didn't find him, a family member said, Senior Brother Dumb Shan was called by you, do you know where he went?" ”

Tai Hao said: "I asked Senior Brother Dumb Shan to do something very important, don't look for him this month." ”

Nian Yu was surprised: "What, Senior Brother Dumb Shan can't speak, what did you ask him to do for you?" ”

Tai Hao said: "You don't have to worry about this, there is a girl from Xuanyu who will go with him." ”

Nian Yu hurriedly asked, "You went with Sister Xuanyu?" What the hell is going on? ”

Taihao was a little impatient and said, "Oh, junior sister, don't ask, let them do something very important." ”

Seeing this, Nian Yu didn't continue to ask, and left the front hall with Mao Ru.

At that moment, Taihao returned to his room, thinking of what happened in Julongzhai today, and couldn't help but worry. Because there is only a one-month deadline, if Jiayu and Dushan can't come back, not only will the people infected with the plague in the city be killed, but they will not be able to complete the emperor's order, and they will not be able to sit on the position of the general of Pinghe City, which is a very serious matter.

Tai Hao played "Snow Cat Shadow" twice in his room from the first to the ninth move, and then lay on the bed and fell asleep. Reviewing "Snow Cat Fluttering" twice a day before going to bed has become Taihao's habit.

Early the next morning, Tai Hao went to the yamen alone to take up his post. In the Eastern Empire, the soldiers and civilians of each city lived together, and the city lord was responsible for presiding over the administrative work of the whole city, and more tasks were on the affairs of the people. The general defending the city is responsible for the military affairs of the whole city, and the deputy general is responsible for assisting the general defending the city. However, in terms of official rank, the general and deputy general of the city are lower than the city lord. Taihao arrived at the yamen, and as soon as he walked to the door of the front hall, he heard the sound of Yao Fuji lecturing inside, Taihao didn't dare to go inside, so he stood outside the door and listened. I only heard Yao Fuji reprimand: "You two fools, you didn't succeed this time, are you just drinking again?" Suddenly, a voice that was somewhat familiar to Tai Hao replied, "This time...... Emperor...... I didn't go to the examination room, so I ......" Tai Hao stared and recognized that this familiar voice was the assassin Gu Jicong from Pinghe City that he met when he was in the capital.

Tai Hao thought to himself: "The emperor told me that he had already arrested two assassin candidates, why did Gu Ji Cong appear here?" ”

Listening only to the front hall, Yao Fuji didn't listen to Gu Jicong's defense at all, and there was another reprimand. Tai Hao then pondered: "Since Gu Jicong has run back, then he will be recognized sooner or later, it is better to recognize them directly now and act at the opportunity." Anyway, he didn't know the real purpose of my coming to Pinghe City. ”

Yao Fuji then said angrily: "What else do you two say, don't come back next time if you don't succeed, just die!" ”

At this time, Taihao walked into the front hall and said, "As soon as I walked to the door, I heard the city lord talking, what's wrong?" ”

Yao Fuji said: "It's nothing, it's just that their ability to do things is too poor, and the official scolded them a few words to make them remember for a long time." ”

"Twelve Brothers......" Gu Jicong next to him recognized Tai Hao and suddenly shouted.

Tai Hao looked at the ancient bushes and found that there were not only the ancient bushes in it, but also Ah Jirong. Tai Hao said: "Isn't this Brother Gu Ji Cong and Brother A Jirong?" ”

Yao Fuji felt very strange and asked, "Lord Taihao, ...... you Know? ”

Tai Hao had an idea and said with a smile: "We met in Thousand Winds City, and our tasks were the same at that time, so we were ready to cooperate with each other and cooperate to complete the tasks together, and we also drank together." ”

Yao Fuji asked knowingly at this time, and asked Taihao: "Task, what task?" ”

"It's to assassinate the emperor...... "Ah Jirong said suddenly.

Yao Fuji originally pretended that he had no intention of rebelling, but at this time, after listening to Gu Jicong and A Jirong, he knew that this Lord Taihao was also going to assassinate the emperor, and Yao Fuji was originally on guard against Taihao, but now he has some trust in Taihao. Yao Fuji asked Taihao again: "Does Lord Taihao have two names, and they are still called ...... Twelve? ”

Tai Hao said: "I was born in a small city on the frontier of the Western Regions, and when we are born, we will have a milk name according to the ranking, and twelve is my milk name, because I am the twelfth child of my grandfather and aunt. This Taihao is my name. When I introduce myself to each other, I say that my name is Twelve, because the name Twelve sounds more intimate. On that day, I regarded Brother Gu Ji Cong and Brother Aqirong as friends, so they asked them to call me Twelve. After speaking, Tai Hao smiled at Gu Jicong and Ah Jirong.

Yao Fuji nodded and said, "I see. ”

Ah Jirong asked again, "Twelve, haven't you been arrested and put in prison?" ”

Hearing him ask, Tai Hao suddenly didn't know how to answer, but he was sure that Ah Jirong and Gu Jicong must have been arrested and put in prison, but how they escaped is still unknown.

Before Taihao could answer, Yao Fuji asked Gu Jicong and Ah Jirong to retreat, and continued to ask Tai Hao: "Lord Taihao, there is still something unknown about this official, why did the emperor appoint you as the deputy general of Pinghe City this time?" For Yao Fuji, he must have doubts about this matter in his heart, because if the current emperor knew that Taihao wanted to assassinate him, he would not give Taihao an official position, and he should have directly arrested and killed him. If the current emperor hadn't found out that Tai Hao was an assassin, Tai Hao would not have come to Pinghe City so far away. Therefore, there are still some doubts about Taihao now.
