Chapter 187, give a hundred jars of wine
[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Yuan, April 23, Chenshi, Tsing Yi Weibei Anping Division]
After Xu Ke rested in Meixuezhai for one night, he hurried to Tsing Yiwei at dawn the next day.
Even though he was still a commoner's white body, the emperor's errand was finally completed, and he should have returned to Tsing Yi Wei to stand by.
Xu Ke walked into the thousand-household office of the Bei'an Pingsi, saw Nangong silent, and after the two exchanged pleasantries, Xu Ke took out the mandarin duck brocade in his arms and handed it to Nangong Buyu's hands.
Nangong was silent, and when he saw that Xu Ke had given him a piece of women's silk handkerchief, which was also embroidered with the brocade pattern of mandarin ducks, he suddenly felt embarrassed in his heart, and he said with an embarrassed face:
"Brother Xian, what do you mean by this?"
"This Jinpa, give it to you!" Xu Ke said with a smile.
"Brother Xian, this mandarin duck brocade is like a woman's love thing, what does it mean that Brother Xian gave me this thing?"
Nangong was silent and couldn't help muttering in his heart, Brother Xian, it has long been rumored in Tsing Yi Wei that the two of us secretly have the good of Longyang, why, although the foolish brother has no intention, the virtuous brother actually has a heart?
"Don't worry! This mandarin duck brocade is not something I gave you, I'm just a ...... The little brother might as well tell Brother Nangong the truth, the person who gave you Jinpa is actually a woman, and this woman's appearance can be called unparalleled!"
"Brother Xian, do you mean that this Fang Jinpa was given to Brother Fool by a woman......? Is that her?"
Nangong was silent, and his heart couldn't help but burst into waves. He thought to himself, this person who gave me Jinpa, is not the seventeenth princess Li Qi? But what kind of noble status is the princess, how can she give me a token of love in private? But the virtuous brother is very familiar with the princess, listening to the tone of the virtuous brother's speech, if it is not the princess, who else can there be?
Thinking of the seventeenth princess Li Qi, Nangong's silent chest was already beating wildly. He really didn't dare to imagine that Li Qi could privately send a love token to himself, but once such an imagination was born, even if it was a slight possibility, it made this Beisi Qianhu feel inexplicably excited!
"Yes! it's her!" Xu Ke quipped with a sneering tone:
"The person who gave you the Mandarin Duck Jinpa, surnamed Mao, named Jiaojiao, and the rivers and lakes call themselves 'He Alloy Fairy'! Brother Nangong, that Mao fairy, she is really emotional and admires you!"
"Brother Xian, you ...... You can't be joking!"
"Brother Nangong, who is joking with you! This is what Mao Jiaojiao handed over to me yesterday in the cave of Jinding Mountain, and she asked me to bring you a word......
"Brother Xian, Hugh is talking nonsense!"
......
At this time, outside the door of the official room, the sound of many people's footsteps had sounded, and Nangong was silent and hurriedly waved his hand, interrupting Xu Ke's speech.
As the guards reported loudly, the door of the official room was immediately opened, and Gao Liangshi, the chief administrator of the inner court, had already strode over, followed by Shen Huan, the governor of the Tsing Yi Guard, Yang Wenyuan, the Qianhu of the Nan'an Ping Division, Zhu Leyun of the Qianhu of the Luan Yi Division, and Zhang Muye of the Qianhu of the Qingjing Division.
As expected by Li Yi, the king of Zhao, the Son of Heaven learned that Li Xi, the king of Jin, had returned safely, and the Sacred Heart was very happy, and early this morning, he ordered Gao Liangshi to go to Tsing Yi Wei to pass the decree, not only reinstating Xu Keguan, so that he could return to inspect thousands of households, but also praised him for sacrificing his life to save the King of Jin.
Xu Ke was not very interested in the gold and brocade that the Son of Heaven rewarded, but when he heard that the Son of Heaven had rewarded him with an additional hundred jars of fine wine, he was immediately interested.
So, Xu Ke asked Gao Liangshi, where are the hundred jars of wine at the moment?
Not only Gao Liangshi, but everyone in the office laughed when they saw that Xu Ke cared so much about the wine. Gao Liangshi immediately replied with a smile, Xu Qianhu is not in a hurry, the holy decree has been transmitted, and it will not be long before there will be a chamberlain in the palace who will drive those fine wines and brocades to your Xufu Yunyun in Liquanfang.
After Shen Huan left with Mr. Gao, Yang Wenyuan, Zhu Leyun and others immediately stepped forward, hugged their fists, and congratulated Xu Ke one after another. Although Xu Ke was unhappy with Yang and Zhu Qianhu, at this time, he had to suppress the anger in his heart and salute everyone one by one.
Yang Wenyuan, a thousand households of the Nan'an Ping Division, was particularly enthusiastic, and kept inviting Xu Ke, saying that the brothers prepared a little thin wine in Deyue Building, especially for Xu Qianhu, and when they were luncheon, they hoped that Xu Qianhu could enjoy the light and come to Yunyun in person. Xu Ke just replied lightly: "Yang Qianhu, the few nails you gave me that day, I Xu Ke haven't digested yet, and let me live a few days, and then come to drink your wine, how about it?"
Yang Wenyuan was choked by Xu Ke's words, his face turned blue and white for a while, he saw the other party's awe-inspiring expression, and he thought to himself that he and Xu Ke, the beam, might have ended up from now on. He couldn't help but secretly regret his impulsiveness that day, but there was no other way at the moment, at the moment, Yang Wenyuan had to give up his hand to Xu Ke slightly, turn around and go out......
Seeing this, Luan Yi Si Qianhu Zhuleyun also felt bored, so he shook his head and followed the second one out.
Regarding Nangong Buyu and leading the crowd to Xu's Mansion to hunt demons that day, Xu Ke already knew the general situation from the mouths of many people. He has no grudge against Nangong and others, since this is the secret order of the Son of Heaven, as a member of the public family, he should obey the order with all his might, this matter is understandable, but he is angry that Zhu Leyun will take advantage of the gap to sneak attack Yao Zibei, who has no martial arts. In Xu Ke's heart, Zhu Leyun attacked a defenseless and weak woman with the body of a thousand households, and this kind of behavior is no different from those incorruptible and shameless villains!
At this time, Xu Ke, looking at the backs of Yang Wenyuan and Zhu Leyun leaving in turn, secretly said in his heart, I Xu Ke will take revenge, all the things you have imposed on me before, I will repay them one by one in the future!
Nangong was silent and knew Xu Ke's temper, and when he saw that he refused to forgive Yang and the two thousand households, he just smiled indifferently.
Zhang Muye stepped forward, patted Xu Ke's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, I know that you have your own natural appearance! No, after only half a month in the edict prison, you will come out to be an official again!"
"Brother Zhang, I stayed in that dark prison prison for 18 days......!
"What's wrong with this taste!" Zhang Muye immediately teased:
"Your cell, by Brother Nangong, is like a new house, the meals are special in the restaurant every day, and there is a beautiful woman who is like a flower and jade every day, accompanying you day and night...... Brother Xu, if you are in prison like you, if it were me, I would be overjoyed!"
"Okay, good, next time, change your brother Zhang to try it in the cell! I will also give you good wine and food every day, and then arrange a beautiful woman for you, see if your brother Zhang is willing?" Xu Ke also quipped.
Nangong beside him was silent, and when he heard Xu Ke's joking, he couldn't help but feel a sudden burst in his heart. He said in his heart, Brother Xian, how can you curse Zhang Qianhu to be in prison like you? Zhang Qianhu is in my Tsing Yi Guard, that is a powerful character, how can you be allowed to talk such nonsense?!
Unexpectedly, when Zhang Muye heard this, not only did he not have the slightest displeasure on his face, but he laughed and responded happily:
"However, the 'beautiful woman' arranged by the brother must be a 'top brand', if it is replaced by someone else, the eldest brother will not agree!"
"Okay!" Xu Ke replied with a smile.
......
After Xu Ke heard Zhang Muye say "top card", he suddenly thought that there was a bright moon girl, waiting for him to pick it up!
According to the instructions of Li Jin, the king of Wei, after his affairs were completed, he should go to the other courtyard of the Wei Wangfu and take Mingyue back. However, this Mingyue girl, how should he place her? As soon as Xu Ke thought of Mingyue's matter, he immediately hesitated in his heart.
Originally, Xu Ke just wanted to settle Mingyue in the inn and let her follow Mao Jiaojiao to Xiao Guo. However, since Mingyue accompanied him for 18 days in the edict prison, he suddenly felt a little reluctant......
Zhang Muye chatted with Xu Ke for a few more words, and when he saw that Xu Ke seemed to have something on his mind, he also said goodbye.
After everyone left, Nangong said without saying a word:
"Brother Xian, let's go, follow me to meet someone!"
"See a man, who is he?"
"You'll know when you see it!"
......
So, Nangong took Xu Ke out of his official room without saying a word, turned left and right in the North Division, and finally walked into a secret room.
When Xu Ke saw the man who was locked in the secret room, he immediately looked surprised:
"How are you?!"
