Chapter 56: The Secret Meeting (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
Xiuhua is familiar with the Prime Minister's Mansion, because she used to go there to play with the princess. As an elder, Prime Minister Dong Cheng has always taken good care of the princess, and as the princess's entourage, Xiuhua sees it in her eyes.
"The city official's mansion?"
Xiuhua stared at the new signboard in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, doubting her memory, but then looking at the majestic stone carvings at the door, and the exquisite wall bricks, it was confirmed that it was the Prime Minister's Mansion, how did she change the name?
Xiuhua walked into the mansion with doubts, and when she saw Dong Mian sitting in the main hall, she immediately dispelled all her doubts and did not go to the wrong place.
Dong Mian saw Xiuhua coming, stepped forward, and asked, "Why are you here so late?"
Xiuhua first bent down and saluted, then popped out the letter from her coat pocket, handed it forward, and said, "Prime Minister, at the request of the princess, I want to give you this letter." ”
Dong Mian smiled bitterly: "I am no longer the prime minister, since yesterday, I am just an ordinary city official in Chaoxian City." ”
Xiuhua was dumbfounded: "What's going on?"
Dong Mian took the letter and slowly told Xiuhua the reason for the incident. Xiuhua, a servant, couldn't understand those powerful disputes, and was shocked when she heard it, but she felt sorry for Dong Mian.
"Although I am no longer the prime minister, the princess has a request for me, no matter what, I must help. Dong Mian smiled and opened the letter.
When he was young, he did the bad thing of changing the tanuki for the prince, and after Dong Mian took the throne, he deliberately took more care of the princess, just to make up for that guilt.
Looking at the letter, Dong Mian gradually put away the smile on his face, the princess needed to help rescue the palace assassin who was about to be executed tomorrow. And Dong Mian himself lost his official title, which was caused by the assassins.
He continued to look down as he thought about how to politely reject the princess.
The letter also wrote that the real prince had returned, and that Xuanmei's deeds had been discovered. Dong Mianxi smiled, the boulder that had been hanging in his heart for seventeen years finally fell, and the prince was safe and sound, and he thrived.
He sighed in his heart, it is really the reincarnation of cause and effect, and fate is created. His own official was lost because of this incident, and he was not wronged at all, this was completely the result of his own self-inflicted consequences.
Although he is now a petty official, he still has power, and Dong Mian decided to help the princess save people.
So, he took out a pen and paper, wrote a confirmation letter to the princess, and handed it to Xiuhua to bring back.
Late at night, Dong Mian tossed and turned. After waiting until dawn, he immediately led five trusted officers and soldiers who had served for many years to search for Tang Sanzang's whereabouts.
They first searched for the address left by Tang Sanzang before, but found that the house was uprooted, leaving only a piece of flat land.
Dong Mian turned around and asked the entourage who had delivered permission to enter the palace, "Are you mistaken?"
The attendant saluted and replied: "Returning to the prime minister, no, the city official, the little one is convinced, the monk did live here before." I'm here to hand over the permission to enter the palace to him. ”
Dong Mian looked at the flat ground, shook his head and sighed: "Since the house is gone, where can we go to find it?"
Among the group of officers and soldiers, a five-year-old and three-thick officer and soldier suddenly walked out, and saluted Dong Mian: "Prime Minister, no, Lord City Official, if you are looking for a monk, I know where it is." ”
Dong Mian was stunned for a moment, monks are not common in Chaoxian City, if there is, you might as well confirm it, and asked repeatedly: "Tell me quickly, where is it?"
The officers and soldiers replied: "On the street of thatched huts." ”
Dong Mian turned the horse's head and couldn't wait to say, "Take me quickly." ”
"Bang bang bang!"
Tang Sanzang and the others looked nervous when they heard a hurried knock on the door.
"Mage, it's me. I've come to listen to the scriptures. A loud, rough voice sounded outside the door.
Then there was another knock on the door.
Tang Sanzang's tense face loosened at this time, knowing that it was the officer and soldier from yesterday, he hurriedly put Xu Wu and the others into the fusion ball, folded the plan on the table and put it in his coat pocket, and opened the door. What I bumped into was Dong Mian, the officer and soldier, hiding behind Dong Mian.
I just listened to the discussion on the street yesterday, Dong Mian lost his official position as prime minister because of them, and now he is coming to the door, I am afraid that he is here to ask for an explanation, or he will directly take everyone to death.
Tang Sanzang's face turned blue with fright, and he stretched out his hand to close the door.
Dong Mian pressed the door panel with both hands and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, your own people." ”
Who is your own person? The other party's kind of skin and flesh did not smile, but it caused Tang Sanzang to be vigilant, and he was about to close the door, but there were many people on the other side, and his palm pressed against the door panel, not moving at all.
Dong Mian stepped into the house and said to the others, "You guys are waiting outside." He closed the door.
"I'm here to help save Jie...... Wait, I'll see. Dong Mian forgot his name in the middle of speaking, took out the princess's letter from his arms, and looked at it carefully.
"I'm here to help save Jerry. Dong Mian finally found the right name.
Just listening to this name, Tang Sanzang definitely didn't believe it, after all, this name might have been reported by Jerry himself after being punished.
Dong Mian also understood Tang Sanzang's puzzled expression, handed him the princess's letter, and told him the ins and outs of the matter, so as to gain Tang Sanzang's trust.
Tang Sanzang took out the drawings drawn by Xu Wu from his arms, unfolded them and said, "Prime Minister, no, Lord City Official, you came just in time, in fact, we also have a plan to rescue Jerry." ”
He pointed to a circled question mark in the middle of the flowchart and said, "Maybe Lord Chengguan can help us solve this link." ”
Dong Mian looked at the various symbols on the drawing, unaware of it, and said happily: "What do you need me to do?" ”
Tang Sanzang lowered his voice and told Dong Mian about the plan. Dong Mian nodded again and again when he heard this.
"It's been a long time since the city official went in. ”
The officers and soldiers stood in front of the door and yawned.
Dong Mian's entourage said, "What's the hurry?" ”
The officers and soldiers smacked their lips: "It's just a little boring." ”
Seeing the people coming and going on the grass house street, the eyelids of the officers and soldiers who were about to close suddenly widened, and they pointed ahead in surprise and said, "Look, that monkey is really interesting." ”
The others followed his point, and indeed saw a young man with braids leading a monkey across the street.
The monkey had a collar around its neck, and was not small, covered in yellow fur, and walked on two legs, which was more neat than a human. It skillfully peels the banana in its hand, throws the peel of the fruit in its hand, and eats it in two or three bites.
When the monkey owner saw that the pet was empty-handed, he gave another bunch of grapes. The monkey flexibly peels the skin with his hands, revealing the crystal clear flesh, one bite at a time, spits out the seeds, and eats them cleanly.
"Squeak, you're so smart. The master shook his pigtails and smiled a little smugly.
The monkey glanced at his master, understood human speech, but did not respond. After eating all the grapes, he began to gently tap the golden hoop on the top of his head, thinking that he could remember something after two more knocks.
For example, last night, he just remembered his original name, which was "Monkey King".
