XVIII. The Man Behind the Scenes
"Wu Xiao saw the prince, the plan has been carried out smoothly according to the steps. I'm afraid that the laughing heads of the government have already quarreled. "The one-eyed boy is named Wu Xiao. It is the first celebrity under the loyal prince, who is loved by the prince with his delicate appearance and witty mind. Zhong Wang Ye will do things, will walk with him, intimate relationship sometimes even provoked the discussion of the people in the palace, some people saw him enter the Zhong Wang Ye's room at night and did not come out, I heard that the princess had talked to Wu Xiao privately, but this delicate relationship has always existed.
"Okay, you can hear it. ”
"I think it's very simple to deal with the prefect's people, with our strength, we are actually not under the other party, but only those three famous catches are more difficult, after all, they are all from the top five dart games in the rivers and lakes 'Changfeng Dart Bureau', and they are the personal disciples of the founder Xu Changfeng. And their eldest brother Xu Su is Xu Changfeng's eldest son, so naturally he can't be underestimated. And the other two, the girl's name is Puyi, who is good at secret weapons and has done a lot of work. The boy's name is Pu Cheng, and he is a 'little military teacher', but after all, he is young and easily distracted by trivial matters. They are sisters and brothers. Through my observations, Xu Su cares about Pu Yi very much, and I suddenly have some thoughts about this, no matter how powerful things are, they will have weaknesses. My plan is to start with this girl, but at this time, there is a character, he is the new head of the prefect, they all call him Yazhi, he unconsciously saw through my plan, when I went to investigate him, but there was no progress, just know that he often goes in and out of Mr. Nangong's medical hall and Qiongyu Pavilion. I suspect that there is something wrong with this young man, but it is even more opportune for him to appear again, because he has changed the relationship pattern of the three of them, Xu Su trusts him, and Pu Cheng doubts him, Pu Yi cares about him very much, and even Master Zhang helps him speak. This makes the game interesting and seems to have paid off. ”
"You use a discord meter?"
"Yes, if they can be dismantled from within, then the prefect will be useless, and the power of the loyal prince will be expanded. ”
"It's useless to talk too much, I heard that you're making a lot of noise?"
"Who are you listening to this?"
"The king's biggest thorn in the heart is King Liang, if you can ...... him Hehe. There was a coquettish smile from the screen, "I heard that the new Xiao Catcher from Kaifeng Mansion is from King Liang, you go and help my baby Yu'er invite him." ”
"Yes. Then I'll quit first. ”
"Also, you go find a few more girls, oh, my Yu'er won't help me, and I'll leave this matter to you. "On the other side of the screen is the loyal king Wen Shiyuan.
Wu Xiao turned around and left the palace, his hand was held tightly, he didn't feel pain when his nails poked his palm, and he glanced at the screen fiercely, full of hatred.
The breeze of a summer night gently brushes Ya Zhi's face, like a loving mother comforting a lost child. Yazhi's expression is not so cheerful, he is dressed in white, and his hair is tied casually, but it does not give people a casual feeling. He held a folding fan and wandered around the lively market in Kaifeng, when suddenly he swayed into a jewelry store.
"Shopkeeper Liu, can the hairpin I ordered for you a few months ago be completed?" Yazhi found the shopkeeper in the store, who looked about thirty or so, not tall, and ordinary-looking, but had a pair of skillful hands.
"Ya Gongzi, you are here, I have been waiting for you for a long time, and it is ready. The shopkeeper bent down and opened the door in front of him, and took out a small mahogany carved box from inside, the surface of which was polished so smooth that the reflection of light could be seen when it was shaken. Yazhi couldn't help but admire when she saw this box. It's just a wooden box, seemingly simple but exquisite.
"Childe, please take a look. The shopkeeper opened the box, and inside was a hairpin, lying quietly in the box, the front end was carved with ornaments, and the carved plants and flowers were carved. The whole body is made of white jade. Ya Zhi looked at this hairpin, his eyes revealed a gentle expression, and this look was captured by the shopkeeper, he smiled and said, "Ya Gongzi, is this hairpin for your beloved?"
"No, my sister is about to reach fifteen, this is a coming-of-age ceremony for her. Yazhi took the wooden box and closed it gently.
"Shopkeeper Liu is really skillful, and I am very grateful. This is the rest of your wages. I will come to you in the future if I need it. I took my leave under it. ”
"Okay, actually, your idea is better, I just made it according to your idea. It's a small thing. Childe walks slowly. Shopkeeper Liu watched him leave. smiled silently in his heart, this kid said no, but his mind had already been seen through by the shopkeeper.
Coming out of the shopkeeper Liu, Yazhi was both happy and disappointed, happy of course because of this hairpin, since leaving the Nalan family, and Nalan Zhishui depended on each other, although there was the help of the Nangong family, but most of them relied on Yazhi to work outside. Liu Ren's skillful handiwork is indeed powerful, but the price is expensive, and this hairpin has almost consumed most of the silver he has accumulated before. Before he worked under Master Zhang, he worked six jobs a day, which was already very hard for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy at the time, so it was normal for him to be sent to the Nangong family's medical hall often. Perhaps it was because of this that he could understand that life was unintentional. However, the loss is also because she is about to get married, and his feelings for her can only be buried in his heart. When he left Nalan Rongque's house, the task assigned to him by Nalan Rongque was to protect the safety of Nalan Zhishui, and when the task was completed, she would no longer need me. Although they are very good to him, he is an outsider, how much right can he speak. Yazhi thought so in his heart, he owed the Nalan family and the Nangong family a favor, and he couldn't pay it back for the rest of his life.
He walked slowly on the street, the bustling streets were still noisy, but how many people died, how many unjust cases occurred, the world is still like this, people still eat, drink and work, as if it has nothing to do with them, as if it has nothing to do with the world.
Suddenly, a figure rushed out of the crowd, Yazhi came back to his senses, this person rushed towards him, he tried his best to dodge, but he was still hit by that person into his arms, Yazhi lost his balance and fell down, he subconsciously protected the wooden box. Looking back, he saw that it was a handsome young man who bumped into him, and the young man looked back at him and dropped a sentence: "I'm sorry." So he got up and ran. Then a group of people dressed in the uniforms of the fast catchers followed.
"Stop that man!" suddenly a voice sounded from behind him.
Yazhi didn't say a word, turned around and jumped to chase the young man, the young man saw Yazhi coming by the wind, he also used real kung fu, I saw him step on a noodle restaurant on the side of the road unused table and chair, fly up to the roof, and then Yazhi followed. The person who spoke just now was Pu Cheng, he chased the young man all the way here, and compared with these two people, his kung fu was slightly inferior, and he was a distance behind the two of them for a while.
Seeing that Ya Zhi was chasing after him, the young man felt that his body was struggling and landed on Qiong Yu Pavilion, so he turned to Ya Zhi and shouted, "I said this friend, why do you keep chasing me?"
Ya Zhi saw that he listened, and he also fell in front of the young man. It's just that when Pu Cheng said that, he didn't know the specific reason, so he only smiled: "I'm afraid you did something to steal chickens and dogs, otherwise why would those catchers chase you?"
"I don't think so. When the boy heard what he said, he sat down and sat on the roof, and then he teased: "I heard that the new person from Kaifeng Mansion is very good at catching kung fu, that person is you, right? You will be chasing me, I am tired, let me rest." ”
Ya Zhi saw that he was unhurried, and was a little surprised, what did this young man want to do, and then he took a step forward, but was said by the young man again and again.
"You're brought close to me, or I won't give you back this box of things. The young man took out a brocade box and shook it in front of Yazhi.
When Yazhi saw the brocade box, his heart tightened, and he hurriedly touched his body, but the brocade box he carefully protected was in the other party's hand. No wonder Pu Cheng wants to chase him, there is really a reason.
Seeing that Yazhi didn't speak, the young man opened the brocade box, and then he exclaimed: "What a beautiful hairpin, are you going to give it away?"
Yazhi saw that he looked childish and eccentric, and this young man was about fifteen years old. Yazhi didn't get angry, and chatted with him: "Isn't it rude for you to take my things without my consent and open them." ”
"Ah, I'm sorry. Then the boy closed the brocade box and got up: "I just want to appreciate it, there is no malice." I'll give it back to you now. ”
The boy walked up to Yazhi and handed the brocade box to Yazhi. At this time, Pu Cheng chased after him and shouted at the young man: "Damn, you guy, don't run!"
Yazhi took the brocade box and hurriedly opened it to take a look, the white hosta was lying safely in the brocade box, but there was a small note in the box.
"Oops~ The nasty guy appeared, and I had enough rest. So this friend, we'll talk next time when we have time. There will be a period later. After the boy finished speaking, he jumped, and when Yazhi looked up and saw that the boy was gone, he secretly thought that this person had some meaning.
When Pu Cheng landed beside Yazhi, he grabbed Yazhi's clothes with a backhand: "I told you to stop him, why did you let him go?
Ya Zhi looked a little stunned when he heard this, not only because he was the one who robbed the girl, but also because the young man looked at him when he approached him, the young man's right eye was not different, but his other eye was golden. He suspected that it was his own delusion, but how could he be wrong when he was so close. During this time, there is always something wrong.
